I used the Ubuntu 10.10 alternate install CD to install Maverick to an encrypted partition on a USB stick. This worked perfectly, but after the first cycle of updates that took the kernel from 2.6.35-22 to 2.6.35-24 I no longer get the graphical boot screen that asks for my passphrase. Instead I get a similar looking one that uses ASCII art.
If I select the older 22 kernel from the bootloader, I still get the nice graphical screen.
What do I need to do to get the nicer boot-up interface with the newer 24 kernel?
Thanks, PaulH

Mount Gay Black Barrel is a small batch, handcrafted rum recently created by master distiller Allen Smith. It is a blend of both matured double pot distillates and aged column distillates which are finished in Bourbon oak barrels. The unique blend delivers a bold and balanced flavour.
Sort by: Popularity | Date | Rating
Charred oak barrel notes open up to leave you with a classic pot still Bajan rum.
Different and very nice if you like an oaky feel to your drink. A very nice sipper
I enjoy sipping bourbon and whisky, preferably neat. Occasionally I'll add a teaspoon of water just to open up the bouquet. Feeling the need for a change of pace, I went on a safari for something bearing the Mount Gay label, at the suggestion of a friend. I opted for the Black Barrel, because I just happened to have a bit extra to spend. Damn good stuff, sir! I don't have much experience with rum, but from the very first sip I LOVED this stuff. I was floored by the vanilla, raisin and floral taste -- and that peppery after taste! All I can say is YOWSA!
Having just started drinking rum from brandy I find this to be my favourite, I always drink straight and this is a very colourful drink taste wise. Would recommend to anyone!
When I first tried this rum a couple years ago, it was relatively new to the market, and there seemed to be a lot of marketing hype around it. I thought it was all a bit overblown, and the introductory price was somewhat inflated.
Now that the price seems to have come down a bit, and I've done quite a bit more tasting of this and other rums, I'm appreciating it more and more. In many ways it seems more "grown up" than many other over-sweetened rums on the market. I think part of this is Mount Gay's attempt to dig into the whiskey market—a drink that is more highly esteemed (and priced) in this country. That certainly manifests itself in the flavor profile, which is dry, oaky, and slightly spicy. With characteristic sweetness and a caramel nose, you certainly wouldn't confuse it for whiskey. This is a proud rum. I give it a 7.5, and round up for its somewhat unique spot in the market. With a little more aging to polish off its somewhat abrasive edges, it would be a solid 8.
As it is, Mount Gay Black Barrel is a versatile rum that makes a great Old Fashioned, a solid Bajan Rum Punch, and a decent sipper. Just don't spend more than $30 USD (2/2017) on a bottle if you can help it.
This is a fantastic rum, the price is about right for it. I'm not sure, why people are so divided on this one.
I'd recommend it on the rocks or straight. There's a hint of cherry in it it, towards the end it has a strong note of charred barrels. Recommended.
Nose: Slightly floral.
Feel: Clean with not too much burn.
Taste: Sugar, LOTS of wood. A little nutty.
Presentation: Very nice long neck bottle. Distinctive. I really what Barbados has done with the country of origin sticker. More countries should do it.
Price: 40 CAD.
A little cheaper than the XO and it shows. Lacking the bold body but still quite adequate for sipping. I think I will be using this mainly for drinks that call for a Barbados rum so I have more XO left over for sipping.
Very good! One of my favorites. I drink it neat or with just ice.
Bottled at 43% which is always a good thing for rum. Candy cola on the nose and palette. It opens up to a bit of lemon grass and smoke. The body is on the thin side which helps keep things bright. Finish is lingering and somewhat sweet but not a sugar bomb by any means.
Can't go wrong with the Black Barrel in your tiki drinks either. I prefer this over the Black Seal or Plantation rums for mixing.
So it's a sipper and a mixer at a great price!! That makes this a bit of a genius offering from one of the great rum brands out there. Solid
This was recommended to me from a liquor store owner. He sure knew what he was talking about very nice rum.
I didn't like the harsh bite of this rum. Very strong alcohol burn, and hints of pepper in the aftertaste. If asked for a one-word description, I would call this rum "unfinished".
I'm a fan of Mount Gay and while I prefer their XO, the black barrel is a fantastic value and thus why I give it an 7. It's a tad harsh in both the finish and also in the flavor profile. Not bad at all, just not as refined as my preferred rums. While it really does make a fantastic rum and coke, I can drink this neat or on the rocks and both are good experiences. Neat is a bit on the spicy and dry side (which I like) but on the rocks also brings out a nice more mellow flavor that is still slightly sweet and very pleasant. Every way to drink this rum is a good rum and for the price you feel liberated to try anything without any guilt. Highly recommend this one.
Přišel jako 2. do rodiny. První byl XO. Dopiručuji připlatit. Ma sotva poloviční chuť a je hodně alkoholovy.
Nicely drinkable rum with strong notes of charred barrels. Stronger taste than most rums. Still one of my favorites
Three top tier restaurants stock the Black Barrel for me as I drink it with fresh squeezed orange juice. It's one of my favorite drinks. I wouldn't drink this straight up but with a mixer it's great. It's certainly far above the house rum served by virtually all bars/restaurants.
Arôme léger de mélasse
Rappelle quelque chose de toasté
Brûlure de l'alcool présente.
Found this at my local Getränkemarkt and was not too expensive for an alleged small batch rum. Found it rather medicinal, slightly rough, no real redeeming features, would not buy again.
I hesitated before buying a bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel as the Mount Gay XO is only $6 CAD more and it is my favorite rum. No regrets, the Black Barrel while not as good as the XO is also a fantastic rum. I really enjoy the overall taste but would prefer it less spicy. Nevertheless a truly fantastic rum.
N- Prelude with salt filled sea breeze follow by heavy dose of wood extract, lightly burn maple syrup and leather polish that gives it a rather bold and direct character. (20/25)
P- Burnt coal, buttery vanilla and whiff of smokes, some ripe tropical fruits and raisins but vastly masked by the beefy phenolic profile, which is nice for a change. Dash of plain sugar lurking but acceptable as it is not as sweet. (20/25)
F- Medium length, oak driven, clean and dry. Layer of raw woody oiliness that either one will like or hate it, a touch of toasted salt bitterness on the exit as expected. (19/25)
Balanced:- Love the breeze of salts. May not be finely balance, but is great to have tasted the usual prominent sweetness being bullied by the masculine oak on this dram. Hoped to see they come up with deeply charred sherry cask finishes soon. A wee thin, lack body. (18/25)
Weighted Rate:- 77pt
It burns if you over sniff on it but there are pack with aroma. Candy floss, caramel, fruits cake with raisins, spices such as cinnamon and vanilla and bitterness of dark chocolate.
Light with woody and caramel flavor. Charred bourbon flavor which stands out a lot compare with most rum, banana peel and dry German apple schnapps (apfelbrand). Peppery burning sensation which I enjoyed but not so sure for others.
Tropical fruits on the finishing. Minty flavor. Dry tannin mouth feel and tickling on the throat.
I liked this one. A little bit harsh at first but it has good flavours. In my opinion it's better than mount Gay XO. I could sip this but I do like to mix it.
This is a great straightforward sipping rum, even my non-rum drinker friends love this stuff. For the mixologists out there I find it does amazingly well with a quality coffee liqueur and creamer for a Rum Russian.
Great drop, smoother than the eclipse, worth the extra money.
I'm not saying this is the best rum money can buy...but for the price and wide-spread distribution in my neck of the woods, I think it makes a pretty strong case for itself. This rum has a fairly bourbon-y flavor, and since bourbon is my other favorite spirit, that probably explains its appeal to my palate. Oakey, a little sweet, with a touch of syrup and strong banana notes. This one works well either straight-up or cut with a cube of ice, if you want to make it a bit less sweet and more refreshing.
ie style over substance.
The run has little finesse or complexity. Overly spirity. Perfectly drinkable but not as good as Chairman's Reserve at 2/3 the price (this is £30 a bottle, Chairman's is £20). I guess in that respect Remy Cointreau have been successful, but like many rum brands owned by big groups, they are more interested in the profit than the product.
Not a rum I will be buying again unless there is nothing on the shelf. EDIT - the more I drink it, the less I like it and I am sitting here thinking how I am going to finish the bottle!

Inspiration: 15 Great Bracelets We Came Across
Bracelets are all over the place at the moment for men and in our opinion aside from watches one of the few jewelry pieces that still works well for men. We are just not big fans of pendants and rings. The best about bracelets is, that you can go in all directions and they look the nicest when you mix them up and wear a few of them at the same time. With the summer starting soon, that look will work even better.
We had a quick look around and came across a nice selection of 15 bracelets for you. Brands included in here are Chrome Hearts, YSL, Miansai, Lanvin, Vanities, Luis Morais from a series of retailers. Most of these bracelets do not come cheap, so what we suggest is going for one expensive piece and then filling up the look with cheaper bracelets around the 10-20 USD price tag.
Take a look at our selection after the jump.
The bracelets seen here can be purchased at Ssense, Aloha Rag, colette, Park & Bond, Mr. Porter and Miansai.

Vaughan Jones attended St Peter's School in Cambridge, New Zealand from the age of eight years until he was 12. In 1966 he began his secondary schooling at Auckland Grammar School in Auckland. He left school having been awarded a University Entrance Scholarship and a Gilles Scholarship to assist him to study at the University of Auckland. He also received a Phillips Industries Bursary.
In 1970 Jones entered the University of Auckland graduating with a B.Sc. in 1972 and an M.Sc. with First Class Honours in 1973. He was awarded a Swiss Government Scholarship in 1973 to enable him to undertake research in Switzerland. He also won a F W W Rhodes Memorial Scholarship.
After teaching for a while as an assistant lecturer at Auckland, he entered the École de Physique in Geneva in 1974, moving in 1976 to the Écoles Mathématiques. In Geneva his research was supervised by A Haefliger and he also taught as an assistant. In 1979 Jones was awarded his Docteur es Sciences (Mathématiques), and the following year he was awarded the Vacheron Constantin Prize for his doctoral thesis.
In 1980 Jones moved to the United States spending the academic year 1980-81 as E R Hedrick Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1981 he moved to the University of Pennsylvania where he was assistant professor until 1984 when he was promoted to associate professor. In 1985 he was appointed as Professor of Mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley.
Jones worked on the Index Theorem for von Neumann algebras, continuing work begun by Connes and others. His most remarkable contribution, however, was that in the course of this work he discovered a new polynomial invariant for knots which led to surprising connections between apparently quite different areas of mathematics.
Jones was awarded a Fields Medal at the 1990 International Congress in Kyoto, Japan for his remarkable and beautiful mathematical achievements. Jones gave a lecture to the 1990 Congress dressed in a rather unusual way for a mathematics lecture. He was wearing the "All Blacks" rugby strip! Joan Birman lectured on Jones's work at the ICM-90 and introduced his work as follows [4]:-
In 1984 Jones discovered an astonishing relationship between von Neumann algebras and geometric topology. As a result, he found a new polynomial invariant for knots and links in 3-space. His invariant had been missed completely by topologists, in spite of intense activity in closely related areas during the preceding 60 years, and it was a complete surprise. As time went on, it became clear that his discovery had to do in a bewildering variety of ways with widely separated areas of mathematics and physics .... These included (in addition to knots and links) that part of statistical mechanics having to do with exactly solvable models, the very new area of quantum groups, and also Dynkin diagrams and the representation theory of simple Lie algebras. The central connecting link in all this mathematics was a tower of nested algebras which Jones had discovered some years earlier in the course of proving a theorem which is known as the "Index Theorem".Birman also talked of the way Jones freely exchanged his ideas with other mathematicians [4]:-
His style of working is informal, and one which encourages the free and open interchange of ideas. During the past few years Jones wrote letters to various people which described his important new discoveries at an early stage, when he did not yet feel ready to submit them for journal publication because he had much more work to do. He nevertheless asked that his letters be shared, and so they were widely circulated. It was not surprising that they then served as a rich source of ideas for the work of others. As it turned out, there has been more than enough credit to go round. His openness and generosity in this regard have been in the best tradition and spirit of mathematics.Jones has received many honours for his work in addition to the Fields Medal. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1986 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1990. In 1991 he was awarded the New Zealand Government Science Medal and given an honorary D.Sc. from the University of Auckland in 1992. In 1993 he was awarded a second honorary D.Sc. this time from the University of Wales. Also in 1993 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science.
He was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences (1999), and the Norwegian Royal Society of Letters and Sciences (2001). In 2000 he was presented with the Onsager medal of Trondheim University and in 2002 he was awarded Distinguished Companionship of the New Zealand Order of Merit. Also in 2002 he was elected as an honorary Member of the London Mathematical Society and awarded an honorary degree by the Universite du Littoral, Cote d'Opale. He was further honoured by being elected Vice-President of the American Mathematical Society in 2004 and awarded the Prix Mondial Nessim Habif in 2007.
Jones has made many other contributions to the mathematical community, particularly in his editorial work as editor or associate editor for many journals: the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, the Pacific Mathematics Journal, the Annals of Mathematics, the New Zealand Journal of Mathematics, Advances in Mathematics, the Journal of Operator Theory, Reviews in Mathematical Physics, the Russian Journal of Mathematical Physics, the Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, Geometry and Topology, and L'Enseignement Mathematique. He has served on the Scientific Advisory Boards of the Fields Institute of Mathematics, the Erwin Schrödinger Institute, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley, the Center for Communications Research (United States), the Institut Henri Poincaré, and the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Sciences. He served on the Nominating committee and the Steele Prize committee of the American Mathematical Society, and on the Programme Committee for the International Congress of Mathematicians held at Madrid in 2006.

Injured French gymnast Samir Ait Said is back on his feet. Sort of.
A day after gruesomely breaking his leg while vaulting during men's Olympic preliminaries, Said posted a Facebook video from his hospital bed thanking people for the outpouring of support and pledging to return to the sport eventually.
"I want to thank you all your messages of support," he said, speaking in French from the hospital. "They touched my heart and boosted my spirits."
U.S. & World
Said underwent surgery on Saturday night to repair the tibea he fractured while trying to land on vault. The image of his leg bent grotesquely at a nearly 90 degree angle went viral immediately. He said he was recovering well.
Said praised his French teammates, some of whom managed to qualify for event finals later this week despite being visibly rattled after watching Said leave the Rio Olympic Arena on a stretcher.
Said says he's behind his pals who kept their act together after the fall. He also pointed out the cast on his leg in blue, white and red — the colors of the French flag.
"Go France," he said. "Be strong and be well. I'm rooting for you."
He also said competing at the Tokyo Games in 2020 is still possible.

Suspects at large after man was abducted from his home
COLUMBIA - Police officers said multiple suspects are at large after they abducted a victim after trying to rob his home.
Officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of Sunset Lane just after 4:30 a.m. Saturday and found an injured man in the back yard of a home. Officers learned the 31-year-old male victim had been abducted from his home in the 200 block of Apple Tree Court.
Reports said three to five masked males armed with guns forced their way into the home on Apple Tree Court and demanded money. There was also a 22-year-old woman and 13-year-old juvenile in the home.
When the masked suspects didn't find any money, they allegedly forced the male victim into the trunk of the female victim's rented car. The man was able to escape out of the trunk near Broadway and West Boulevard. One of the suspects fired a gun at the victim when he escaped the trunk, but he was not injured.
The female victim at the home told officers that some of the suspects fled on foot before they arrived. The female victim and the 13-year-old juvenile were not hurt during the robbery, but the female victim's car is still missing.
Anyone with information regarding this robbery and abduction should call the Columbia Police Department or Crime Stoppers at (573)875-TIPS to remain anonymous.

Petri dish showing the effect of Penicillin on bacteria, United Kingdom, 1944
Ancient thoughts on experimentation
Experimentation is a vital part of modern medical science - we take it for granted that new drugs and surgical techniques have been tested experimentally before they're used on us. But, surprisingly, some ancient philosophers argued against methodical experimentation. How could you find the general laws of nature, they argued, by creating highly artificial situations in an experiment? But some physicians in Ancient Greece did perform systematic experiments on humans and animals. Galen, for instance, experimented on the functions of organs.
New instruments for experimenting in the Renaissance
Since the Renaissance physicians have argued in favour of experiments. William Harvey combined dissections with close observations in his work on the circulation of blood. His work encouraged others to perform experiments and throughout the early modern period researchers developed new instruments for the observation of nature. Many of them, such as thermometers to measure temperatures and microscopes to observe very small objects, are still with us today.
Research in hospitals: the development of ideas from the 1000s to the 1700s
Since the late 1700s, hospitals have become important sites for medical research, places where physicians could test the effects of different drugs on large numbers of patients. Building on the rules developed since the 11th century by Persian scientists such as Ibn Sina, researchers developed principles for conducting clinical trials which remain vital elements of modern pharmaceutical research.
The modern laboratory and its new tools
In the 1800s, universities founded scientific laboratories based on the successful chemistry lab of Justus von Liebig. With the emergence of the modern laboratory came the development of lots of the tools we now associate with modern medical science, such as test tubes, Petri dishes and lab coats.
Investigating functions of the body
Many of the new research laboratories investigated the functions of the body. Physiology became a very important scientific discipline, adopting experimental methods from chemistry and physics while in turn developing new ones. Animal experimentation in particular became a frequent but controversial tool for medical research.
The Hippocratic oath - Ancient Greece to today
Experiments on living beings remain a central ethical problem for medicine. In principle, doctors have followed the guidelines of the Hippocratic oath, laid down in Ancient Greece, which says that 'above all, the physician shall do no harm'. In Greece experimentation on living humans was generally outlawed. But sometimes exceptions were made for convicted criminals - the torture of experiments was part of their punishment. Occasionally, scientists would even experiment on themselves.
Risky experiments
Doctors were also willing to take risks with their patients in their search for cures - Edward Jenner, for example, first tested his method of vaccination on 8-year-old James Phipps. Our history books celebrate the fact that young Phipps lived, but other experimental subjects were less fortunate.
Seishu Hanaoka: family experiments
When the Japanese physician Seishu Hanaoka wanted to test a powerful anaesthetic in the early 1800s he discussed the problem with his mother and his wife. Logic dictated that a wife was easier to replace than a mother and so he tested his spouse - successfully. Encouraged by this success, the physician continued to subject his unfortunate wife to tests until she lost her sight as a result of one experiment too many.
Inhuman experimentation: Tuskegee Study, 1932-72
A truly infamous case of human experimentation was the Tuskegee Study, which ran from 1932 to 1972 in the United States. In this long-term study, medical researchers from the Public Health Service failed to inform a group of poor, black male patients that they had syphilis. The scientists wanted to observe the effects of leaving the disease untreated, so they left these patients to suffer and, in many cases, die.
Government restrictions on human experimentation through the years
But some scientists recognised the need for guidelines. The influential French physiologist Claude Bernard, for instance, stressed in 1865 that the scientist should 'never perform an experiment which might be harmful to the patient'. Governments introduced some limitations on experiments with humans and animals in the late 1800s.
Experimenting with or without permission?
After the trials of Nazi doctors who had conducted human experiments during the Second World War, the Nuremberg Code was developed, which stipulated that 'the voluntary consent of the subject is essential'. In recent years, many governments have made 'informed consent' of the patient mandatory for medical experimentation. But sadly some groups remain at high risk of being used as experimental subjects without their consent, especially prisoners, soldiers, individuals with mental illnesses and people in developing countries.
In the early 1960s a new drug, thalidomide, was found to cause injuries to fetuses of mothers who had taken the medication. After this disaster, which was caused by inadequate experimentation, new regulations for rigorous testing were introduced. The practice of controlled trials, pioneered after the Second World War, was standardised and required for all new medicines.

Chefs On Fire Steak House
Hi All,
We need to design logo for our Restaurant. Restaurant is located in historic area and we would like to have grunge/vintage website designed for it. Logo should be in style so it can go along with our building and grunge website design which we will design after logo is designed.
Please check attached website background file. (background.jpg) It is best wooden background which i could find and would like to use as website background. Logo design should go along with it.
The loge can be done one of the three concepts:
1. old sign nailed to the wooden wall
2. old piece of material (old flag) nailed to the wall.
3. Peace of wood nailed to the wooden wall
We are located in historic area where people go with families or friends to visit. We would like to attract those families as well as anyone who likes good steak and good dining experience.
Something which will go along with our building, character, and will be in grunge/vintage style (or go along with vintage/grunge website design)
Please consider that we will have to make signage/billboard from the logo. Please in your design consider something that would not be very hard to make signage from.

Coleman had better luck in the second, shutting down the Pirates 1-2-3. The lake wind helped; blowing in tonight, it held Marte's blast to center in the yard for a long, loud out. AJ threw clean, too, and is at a very economical 19 pitches through two frames.
Cutch opened the third by knocking a curve to left for his second hit of the night. Jones turned on a low slider and drove it to right to put Bucs on the corners. Cutch was off on contact, and The Kid's grounder to first nailed him at the plate. Pedro singled on a 407' ball to the center field wall as the Pirates ran a comedy routine on the bases. Jones stayed near second to tag, then made the wide turn at third and came back while Walker was steaming his way to the bag. Walker was tagged out with two guys on the same sack, and the Bucs ended up with runners at second and third and no runs in classic Keystone Kop style. Rod Barajas walked, but Barmes grounded out to kill a golden opportunity to add on. Didn't bother AJ, though. He just kept dealing, with nine Cubbies down in a row on 30 pitches.
Pittsburgh went down in order in the fourth. Anthony Rizzo became the first Chi-Town runner when he walked on a 3-2 pitch with two away. AJ answered by K'ing Alfonso Soriano. With one down in the fifth, Jones drew a 3-2 walk. Walker tried to jack another, but it was a long out to right. Pedro walked on four pitches, and that was it for Coleman. Steve Maine took the ball and got Hot Rod to fly out to right. AJ continued business as usual; three Cubs up, three down - and 52 pitches through five.
Maine sank the Bucs in the sixth. AJ lost David Dejesus with two down on a 3-2 pitch and stole second. he stayed there as Castro flew out, though AJ had to labor for the first time tonight.
Snider was issued a four pitch free pass to open the seventh. Cutch fell behind 0-2, took a couple of chase pitches, and sent a changeup into right center for a two bagger, with Snider stopping at third. Maine worked Jones away, eventually getting him to chase a curve for a swinging K. Walker lifted a curve to left, plating Snider and moving Cutch to third when the throw escaped C Clevenger. That play brought Jeff Beliveau to the hill, and he caught Pedro looking. No sweat for AJ in the seventh; he mowed down the middle of the Cub order, helped by a sweet grab at first by Jones on Bryan LaHair's ball, and has his pitch count back in order at 80 through seven frames.
Beliveau tucked away the bottom of the Pittsburgh lineup in the eighth. With an out, Darwin Barney ducked into a hook and took it square in the helmet, leaving the game for Jeff Baker, who stole second. AJ picked up a K, but rookie call-up Adrian Cardenas cleanly golfed a 3-2 sinker into right to put runners on the corners and break up the no-no.
After the hit, AJ muttered a few choice words and gestured at plate ump Jeff Nelson after missing calls with a couple of previous pitches just outside the black (he later said that was just frustration -"he called a great game. I stayed with the hook away, and got some calls. I would loved to have had that one.") The Chicago fans showed they appreciated their baseball, giving Burnett an ovation. He K'ed David DeJesus after the knock to end the frame.
Marte opened the ninth against Shawn Camp by reaching on a Castro error and going to third on a stolen base and misthrow. But a pair of not very professional at bats by Snider and Cutch and a ground out by Jones left him there. AJ blew through the Cubs in the last frame, whiffing Soriano to end the game on a high note.
AJ threw a complete game shutout, giving up a hit, two walks, a beaned batter and whiffing eight on 108 pitches (his season high) for his 13th win. In case there was any question who the Pirate ace and stopper is, tonight emphatically answered that question. AJ provided the arm and Neil Walker's 5 RBI the lumber. And they needed it; the Reds won too, 7-6, keeping the Bucs three games behind in the Central.
A couple of thoughts: On the sunny side, Cutch and Starling Marte cover some acreage. On one gap shot, they were both there, almost knocking heads. On the shady side, the Pirates need to tighten up with RISP; they were 2-for-12 tonight and have been pretty undisciplined with runners on for much of the month. They're not gonna get grand slams and three run knocks every night.
Jeff Karstens faces Travis Wood in tomorrow afternoon's getaway game.
- This was the first Buc one-hitter since Todd Ritchie tossed one in 2001 against KC. For AJ, it was his first one hitter and shutout since 2006. The outing was Burnett's 10th career shutout. He is now 6-0 lifetime against the Cubs and 4-0 at Wrigley Field. And finally, tonight was the ninth time this season that Burnett has worked >7 innings in a start.
- Neil Walker is 14-for-29 with two home runs and 38 RBI with the bases loaded.
- The Pirates played a man short tonight, with Gaby Sanchez expected to join the team tomorrow to replace Casey McGehee.
- Why no Hunter Pence in Pittsburgh? Greg Brown on Root Sports said it would have taken Brad Lincoln & Starling Marte to pry him away from Philly. Some of the best trades are the ones you don't make...
- Altoona's Gerrit Cole went six scoreless innings, giving up three hits and a walk with six K.
- This day in history: In 1988, July 31, 1988: Willie Stargell was inducted into the Hall-of-Fame, the only inductee that year. Stargell played 21 years with the Pirates and is the all-time club leader in home runs (475) and RBI (1540). Pops played a total of 2360 games in a Pittsburgh uniform and tallied 2232 hits. He won World Series championships in 1971 and 1979, having been named MVP of the '79 Fall Classic.

Blanton, Angels trying to figure out struggles
MINNEAPOLIS -- Angels manager Mike Scioscia, pitching coach Mike Butcher and the two catchers, Chris Iannetta and Hank Conger, huddled up with starter Joe Blanton before Tuesday's game in hopes of figuring out why the 32-year-old right-hander has struggled so much after such a lights-out spring.
The meeting was, as Scioscia put it, "routine."
Clearly, though, something needs to be figured out.
After posting a 2.37 ERA and not walking a single batter in 19 Cactus League innings, Blanton has started the regular season giving up at least four runs and throwing no more than five innings in each of his first three starts. Against a Twins team that came in 26th in the Majors in OPS on Monday night, he gave up four runs on nine hits (two of them homers) in 4 2/3 innings, putting his ERA at 8.59.
"He hasn't been able to command counts the way he can, he hasn't been in good zones as often as he needs to be, and when you're aggressive and you go after hitters and you're not really getting the pitches where you need them in a zone, guys are going to have pretty good swings at it," Scioscia said. "And we've seen that. He's also put together pretty good sequences, so it's in him to be a better pitcher. He'll get there."
In his latest outing, Blanton's fastball was mostly in the 87- to 88-mph range, a couple ticks down from his career norm. He said afterwards that he's "mechanically a little bit off," which has affected the fastball location and, to some extent, velocity.
Blanton got ahead on 19 of the 24 batters he faced, and only one of the hits he gave up came on what Pitch F/X identified as a four-seam fastball. But a better fastball, Blanton believes, will allow everything else to fall in line.
"That's kind of the key for a lot of pitchers, is fastball location and working off that," Blanton said. "Right now, fastball location, the quality is just not quite there. I'm just kind of feeling for it."

Strange News Of The Day: Western Colorado Census Office Raided By FedsMonday, June 28th, 2010
Very interesting story here from the Grand Junction Sentinel:
Feds checking for violations of safety laws at census office
By Gary Harmon
Sunday, June 27, 2010
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has opened an investigation into the U.S. Census Bureau office in Grand Junction, which earlier this year was inundated by fumes from a marijuana-growing operation in the same building.
A person who worked in the building at 573 W. Crete Circle, meanwhile, said as many as a dozen claims might be filed by census employees affected by pesticide fumes from the nearby operation, which shared a ventilation system with the census office.
The inspection is intended to determine if there were violations of federal workplace-safety laws as a result of the fumes flowing into the offices, Herb Gibson, area director for the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, said Friday.
The agency's inspection "is open, and I would say it will stay open for a few more weeks," Gibson said.
Inspectors have visited the census office, where Gibson said officials are in the process of making modifications to the ventilation system.
A Mesa County grand jury last week declined to indict the three people who owned the marijuana operation.
Still, a former office employee, who asked not to be identified, said some people who worked there, including the employee, have suffered ill effects from the fumes, which were those of pesticides used to protect the marijuana plants, census officials said.
Even though officials point to the pesticides, other odors were unmistakable, the employee said.
"You walk in the front door, and you feel like you're at a Bob Marley concert," the employee said.
Even after leaving the office, the employee said pain and coughing developed to the point that the employee had to be hospitalized for several days.
"I was screaming in pain" and forced to double over by the coughing, the employee said. "It felt like it was burning me from the inside."
The employee has been in contact with other people from the office who have been hospitalized. Some are preparing or have prepared workers' compensation claims as a result of their exposures in the office, the employee said. (more…)

Keri Hilson performs America the Beautiful, and then we're off to the Georgia Dome to kick the show off!
The Rock opens the show and takes his time soaking in the reaction from the fans as he comes to the ring. He breaks into a big smile as the fans cheer him, and he says that finally, the Rock HAS COME BACK TO ATLANTA! And finally, the Rock HAS COME BACK TO WRESTLEMANIA! The Rock promises that this will be the most memorable Wrestlemania of all time: the electricity is in the air and all around us, and he asks if the fans can feel, taste, and smell it? The fans react affirmatively, and start a Rocky chant. Rock says they're making history, so they're going to have some fun, and when he says wrestle, they say mania. He says wrestle three times, and each time the fans go mania. He says he's got a message for one WWE superstar backstage deciding which color shirt he's going to put on tonight, then Rock pauses to take a sip from the People's Water, then tells the fans that when he says Yabba, they say Dabba. Same routine as before, and then he says he's with the millions (and millions) of the Rock's fans because this is Wrestlemania, this is the Showcase of the Immortals, and this is hosted by the jabroni beating, pie eating....well, he says lots of stuff and says that Wrestlemania is bigger than Christmas because Rock is bringing it all over Atlanta, if you s- no, Rock says that catchphrase and electrifying catchphrase in the world, so it needs to be special. It doesn't belong to the Rock, that catchphrase belongs to the people, so he wants all the fans to get on their feet, assume the position, and say it loud and proud...if you SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN'. Rock finishes by flashing the eyebrow. Great segment to get the crowd going!
We hit the opening video looking at the history of Wrestlemania and running down the top matches on this year's show, then it's time to hit the fireworks and start the show.
For those who were wondering, Michael Cole is indeed doing commentary from the safety of his box, as is Jerry Lawler.
World Title Match: Edge vs Alberto Del Rio
Christian is, of course, in Edge's corner. They tie up and Alberto takes Edge to the corner and breaks clean...then slaps him. Edge slaps back and lays into him with rights and gets a backdrop. Alberto takes a shot at the arm and rams Edge to the corner and puts the boots to him. Edge backdrops Alberto to the floor and goes for a baseball slide, but Alberto dodged and rammed Edge into the barricade, then slammed his arm on the ring steps. Alberto rolls Edge back into the ring and covers for 2, then snaps the injured arm across the bottom rope. Edge tries to get some space out on the floor, but Alberto goes after him, rams the arm into the announce table, then sends him back in and applies an armbar. Alberto tries a running dropkick but Edge dodges and Alberto sails out to the floor, and Edge follows him out with a somersault dive over the top. Edge tosses Alberto back in and goes up top, but Alberto recovers and armdrags Edge off the top for 2, then drills him with repeated punches. Alberto comes off the ropes and runs right into a leg lariat, and Christian begins banging on the mat to get the fans going. Edge with a big boot to Alberto, then running forearms and a flapjack gets 2. Alberto gets an armbreaker and goes for the cross armbreaker, but Edge slips out and hits a modified neckbreaker for 2. Edge with an O'Connor roll, Alberto reverses to one of his own but then goes right into the cross armbreaker, but Edge quickly makes the ropes. Edge slips out to the apron and hangs Alberto up on the top rope, then goes up top but Alberto runs up the ropes and hits an enziguiri for 2. Edge put his foot on the rope but Ricardo pushed it off, so Christian goes after Ricardo but gets suplexed on the floor by Clay. Alberto gets distracted by this and Edge rolls him up for 2, then hits the Edge-O-Matic. Edge set up for the spear but Alberto moves, and Clay rams Edge's arm into the turnbuckle and Alberto rolls Edge right into the cross armbreaker. Edge tries to clasp his hands, but Alberto pulls him into the hold and Edge rolls Alberto to his back for 2, then gets Alberto in a modified Sharpshooter. Alberto goes for the ropes and Christian neutralizes Clay as Edge pulls Alberto back out to the middle, but Alberto miraculously slips out. Edge wastes no time hitting the spear and getting the win.
Winner: Edge
Edge and Christian go up the apron to celebrate, and Edge stops to look at the car. Hebeats the car up and starts elbowdropping the roof. Christian comes out with a crowbar for Edge that he uses to scratch up the body, smash in the windows, and beat in the hood. Alberto is in the entranceway looking very upset at what has just transpired, and Michael Cole wonders how Alberto's going to get home. Alberto hugs his car and starts crying.
Commercial for Tough Enough, which premieres tomorrow night on USA.
We go back to ringside, where Michael Cole antagonizes Jerry Lawler from the safety of the box.
Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes
Rey Mysterio is Captain America this year. Rey charges Cody and gets backdropped to the apron, but comes back in with a flying headscissors. Rey with a kick to the head but Cody with a spinning flying forearm. Cody tries to take the knee brace off, but Rey slips away so Cody whips Rey hard into the corner instead. Cody gets a springboard enziguiri for 2, then locks Rey in a Sabu clutch, grinding into Rey's nose with a crossface. Rey fights his way out and goes for another flying headscissors, but Cody blocks and hangs Rey on the ropes, kicks him in the gut, and hits an Alabama Slam for 2. There's an audible "let's go Cody" chant going as Cody puts the boots to Rey some more. Cody puts Rey on the second rope and gets the Boss Man Drop, then chokes Rey with his boot. Cody does a nerve hold that looks like he's massaging Rey's back, but Rey slips out again and goes up top. Cody comes up and headbutts him and picks Rey up for a very delayed superplex and they crash down hard. There's that Cody chant again as he covers Rey for 2. Cody goes for Crossrhodes, but Rey reverses and dumps Cody to the floor and follows with a baseball slide, he misses with a second one but recovers right away with a flying headscissors into the apron. They go back in and Rey hits a Thesz Press from the top, then a bridging O'Connor Roll for 2. Rey leaps off the second rope to try something, but Cody catches him and hits a wheelbarrow suplex for 2. Rey with a springboard flying headscissors then drops Cody into position and goes for the 619, but Cody catches him and dumps him. Cody catapults Rey into the middle rope and covers for 2, then goes after the knee brace again. This time he gets it, but Rey hits a moonsault for 2 and pulls the mask off. Rey gets Cody in position and hits the 619 and comes off the top rope, Cody blocks the move but kicks Cody in the face for 2. Rey puts Cody's mask on and hits a series of running headbutts with the mask, then goes up top for a diving headbutt that only gets 2. The Cody chant is getting louder, and Cody grabs the knee brace from ringside and cracks Rey in the face with it as he tries a dive, then hits the CrossRhodes for the win
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Cody quickly covers his face with the mask and pushes the camera away as he heads to the back.
Josh Matthews and Jerry Lawler go through some of the celebrities to have come to Wrestlemania over the years, then we go backstage to Snoop Dogg and Teddy Long. Snoop wants some talent to take on tour with him, and Teddy has some folks lined up: first is William Regal, who comes out and raps about being from Blackpool in true gangsta fashion. Snoop isn't having it, so next we get Khali and Beth Phoenix who sing Grease, followed by Zack Ryder singing about Friday. Roddy Piper sneaks up from behind and blasts Zack in the back of the head with a coconut. Next up was Yoshi Tatsu and Chris Masters, with Masters bouncing his pecs to the We Will Rock You beat while Tatsu sang. Hornswoggle comes out and Snoop likes him, but Teddy Long tells Snoop that Hornswoggle can't talk or anything. Teddy says it's time to roll on out of here, and Hornswoggle looks disappointed and waves goodbye at them. As soon as they're gone, the lights go down and the Bellas come in and dance as Hornswoggle raps. That was SO bizarre.
The show continues on Page 2!

Illustrations for Development:
|The value and accessibility of development literature can be increased immensely by appropriate artwork. In some cases, illustrations are the only way of getting a message across. But these illustrations must be of good quality and understandable by the user - whether aimed at an illiterate farmer, or a well-educated development specialist. On this site, you can download over 3000 black and white illustrations, drawn by a variety of artists and provided copyright-free to people who need to illustrate social development messages in the development business.
The illustrations have been used in a range of development projects around the world (please note that they should not be used for any commercial or profit making use i.e. they should not appear as illustrations in any book in which the author is making money from their use).

One of my producers on the project had tasked me with creating some images that would appear either at the Game Stop store in Springfield or somewhere in the game later. So I decided to take some of my favorite games as well as some beloved EA Franchises, and "simpsonize" them. Here are a few!
I believe this one was a dual effort of mine and another artist. I basically took his rough sketch and cleaned it up.
I'm a huge Half-Life fan, so I would take any chance to squeeze in a reference to that series. Flavin!
This was my attempt to remind the fine folks at EA that they used to have an awesome football series that didn't include the word "Madden" followed by a number. I'm not a sports guy at all... I avoid sports like the plague, but I LOVED "Mutant League Football" on the Genesis. I would happily take an XBLA reboot of Mutant League Football.
This was an interesting one. I had moved onto Dead Space after wrapping up work on the Simpsons, but the game was still in development for about another year. I had some downtime on Dead Space, and I was lent out to The Simpsons team for about a week. I drew this up for the studio as an homage to what I knew was going to be a great classic game. The problem was that the Simpsons Game was going to be released before Dead Space was even announced. I'm not sure if it made it into the game or not, but they did turn this into a poster that was hung up around the studio for a while.

Feeling tired? It happens to everyone, even the healthiest of people. There are several different reasons you could be dealing with fatigue, so we're going to cover a lot of ground today. Each one of the tips below will help you understand the possible causes and provide you with preventative measures and treatments.
#1 Consider Caffeine
While many people will tell you caffeine isn't good for the body, they're only giving you part of the story. Caffeine can actually be good for you when taken appropriately. If you're drinking a 12-pack of Coke a day then it's not good. However, if you limit yourself to one or two a day it's going to help. Well, maybe not so much with soda, but definitely with coffee.
#2 Better Sleep and How To Deal With Insomnia
You've probably heard how important it is to get the right amount of sleep, but it's not that easy. Most of us live fast paced lives. All the stress from the day can take its toll on how you sleep. Focus on going to bed at a reasonable time where you can get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. You will wake up feeling energized.
#3 Take a Walk
Since some people do struggle with sleeping patterns it's important to relieve some stress before bed. One of the best ways to do this is by taking a walk after dinner. Notice we're not telling you to go purchase a gym membership. Instead just spend about 20 minutes walking around the block and your body will feel more relaxed.
#4 Drink more Water
If you're thinking this is common sense, it's not. However, we believe it should be, because once the body gets dehydrated it starts bogging down. Our bodies are made up of somewhere between 70% to 80% water, so without it you aren't going to make it through the day properly. Adding the H20 keeps you lively and more productive. Plus it makes your skin look better.
#5 Check your Lifestyle
Some people have lifestyles that would never compensate an energized body. Individuals who work 2nd and 3rd shift may need to go back to 1sts. Those who stay out partying all the time might consider cutting it down a bit. Then again; maybe you just need to be a little more active. Go get outside and enjoy the weather!
There are so many different ways to beat fatigue and how to deal with insomnia we can't list them all. The main focus should be on taking care of yourself and your health. If you make the time to monitor this you will know how to find the results you need. Just go back to the basics and it will be amazing how much you've forgotten. Also remember that dealing with fatigue and learning how to deal with insomnia is an issue which can affect health and safety at work.
We hope each and every one of you can find the proper regimen to stay healthy. After all, if we don't have our health, the only thing left is severe fatigue. A Workplace Wellbeing stress management article.

METROWEST DAILY NEWS – The City Council on Monday will consider a tax deal for SanDisk, which plans to open a research facility on Donald Lynch Boulevard.
The California-based flash storage company plans to open the facility at 200 Donald Lynch Blvd., bringing 60 new jobs to the city. The company will be investing $14.5 million in the 60,000 square-foot facility, according to a letter from Mayor Arthur Vigeant to the City Council.
Vigeant will ask the City Council on Monday to consider giving SanDisk a break on a portion of it property taxes for its first five years in the city through a Tax Increment Financing package.
The deal would give SanDisk a break on the property taxes it would have otherwise paid on the value it adds to the facility. The first year of the deal would give SanDisk a 100 percent tax break on the added value. The second year, the break drops to 50 percent, then 30 percent in the third year, 20 percent in the fourth year and 10 percent in the fifth year.
SanDisk will also be closing its Westford facility and will move 80 jobs to the new Marlborough office.
In his letter to the council, Vigeant said the tax deal will further boost economic development in the city.
"As our local, state and national economies improve, this partnership will further enhance our ability to stabilize our residential tax base and ensure that our residents have access to high quality, local employment opportunities," he wrote.
Marlborough Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Tim Cummings said SanDisk will be occupying about half the Donald Lynch Boulevard building. The part SanDisk will move into has been vacant since the building was built about a decade ago, he said.

Since the engineered global equity runup referenced in the first paragraph, I have accurately called the European Sovereign Debt Crisis (as well as the mobile computing paradigm shift) and watched it metastisize into a catalyst for another global meltdown, but this time actually competing for the pole position price with China (whom I've warned about regarding the inflationary fireball cum real asset burst), Japan and the US, who did close to nothing to remedy the causes nor the real effects of the real asset/credit bubble it had just 2 years ago! See my thoughts on this triumvirate spiral of stagflation here at marker 20:55:
[youtube SSQoiYKmbko]
So despite disgorging half of my market collapse gains to the contrived bear market rally, and make no mistake about it because that's exactly what it was, a bear market rally (just the bear market rally from hell), I still have my eye set on reality and that reality is telling me once again - Look out below! Even more importantly, the economic safety nets and capital cushions that we had in place in 2008 are gone - wasted in a vain attempt to ensure that the oligarchs who stewarded this collapse in the first place get to remain in their vaunted positions to do so once again. Go to 20:00 marker to see me elaborate on this topic.

Now, reference the seminal piece Do Black Swans Really Matter? Not As Much as the Circle of Life, The Circle Purposely Disrupted By Multiple Central Banks Worldwide!!!
Actually, it is not the Black Swan events themselves that do the damage but said event do serve as the catalyst that either bust a bubble that was waiting to pop anyway, or break a structure that was hobbling along on one leg as it was – where we happen to be now in many places of the developed world – sans rampant propaganda, misinformation and disinformation from less than disinterested sources.
I have always been of the contention that the 2008 market crash was cut short by the global machinations of a cadre of central bankers intent on somehow rewriting the rules of economics, investment physics and global finance. They became the buyers of last resort, then consequently the buyers of only resort while at the same time flooding the world with liquidity and guarantees. These central bankers and the countries they allegedly strive to serve took on the debt and nigh worthless assets of the private sector who threw prudence through the window during the "Peak" phase of the circle of economic life, and engaged in rampant speculation. Click to enlarge to print quality…
The result of this "Great Global Macro Experiment" is a market crash that never completed. BoomBustBlog subscribers should reference The Inevitability of Another Bank Crisis while non-subscribers should see Is Another Banking Crisis Inevitable? as well as The True Cause Of The 2008 Market Crash Looks Like Its About To Rear Its Ugly Head Again, With A Vengeance.
All four corners of the globe are currently "hobbling along on one leg", under the pretense of a "global recovery".
Simply sit back and look at the (supposed, none of these should truly be considered surprises) Black Swan Catalysts that we now face:
- US Housing, you know, the the thing that kicked this all of to begin with - The True Cause Of The 2008 Market Crash Looks Like Its About To Rear Its Ugly Head Again, With A Vengeance Friday, March 11th, 2011
- US and/or European Commercial Real Estate - Reggie Middleton ON CNBC's Fast Money Discussing Hopium in Real Estate Friday, February 25th, 2011

- Japan – Can Contagion Be Avoided Considering The Magnitude Of Japan's Woes? Tuesday, March 15th, 201
The list can go on. The most likely catalyst is described as follows…
The advice coming from both the government agents (ex. central bankers) and those whom these government agents have pledged to rescue at the absolute cost to the average tax payer (the FIRE sector, particularly the banking cartel) has been absolutely horrendous. First let's take a look at the most respected of these agency protected players – Goldman Sachs. From my missive, Is Another Banking Crisis Inevitable? posted last month, I excerpt the following:
Today, Bloomberg reports that Goldman Sachs Turns Bullish on Europe Banks as Debt Risk Eases.The report goes on to state:
The U.S. bank that makes the most revenue from trading advised investors to take an "overweight" position on banks, raising its previous "neutral" recommendation, according to a group of equity strategists led Peter Oppenheimer. Investors should pay for the trade by lowering holdings of consumer shares, he wrote.
"For financials the narrowing of sovereign spreads in peripheral eurozone, which our economists expect to continue, is a clear positive," London-based Oppenheimer wrote in the report dated Feb. 3. "Banks are one of the least expensive sectors in the market and the trade-off between their growth prospects and earnings in the next few years looks especially attractive."
Unfortunately, the risks of this particular trade were not articulated, and I feel that the risks are material. Far be it for me to disagree with the "U.S. bank that makes the most revenue from trading", but they have been wrong before – many times before. ReferenceIs It Now Common Knowledge That Goldman's Investment Advice Sucks??? or Did Reggie Middleton, a Blogger at BoomBustBlog, Best Wall Streets Best of the Best?for more on this topic.
So where is the risk?
The impact of the Asset Securitization cum Sovereign Debt Crisis to bank balance sheets should become the market and media focus. The full cost of cleaning up the balance sheets of financial institutions particularly against the backdrop of adverse macro shocks emulating from sovereign defaults is not fully known. Structural weaknesses in sovereign balance sheets could easily spill over to the financial system due to the fact that most banks are stuffed to the gills with sovereign debt – highly leveraged, and marked as risk free assets at par. This can have broad, adverse consequences for growth in the medium term.
The central bankers of the world have made truly fundamental investing with a global macro outlook very difficult if not impossible due to the fact they have virtually destroyed the cost of risk and eliminated organic price discovery.
As excerpted from the subscriber document: The Inevitability of Another Bank Crisis
I will spend next week going through FIRE sector company exposures for paying subscribers. That is exposure to each other, real assets, bogus valuation on balance sheet holdings and sovereign debt. It's time to pin down the individual shorts and rank the by risk and we need to do so before risk premiums start to ratchet up to high. We will start with US, CEE and EU FIRE sector participants. In the meantime, I suggest subscribers review the following documents for notes on the specific banks that we will be doing a refresh on, for they are the one's that are literally "trapped" unless they dumped all risk to the ECB. If they did, then the pressure is spread around which dampens their banking business and puts us back where we started, bearish:
- Euro Bank Soveregn Debt Exposure Final -Retail
- Euro Bank Soveregn Debt Exposure Final – Pro & Institutional
Just to demonstrate how much worse things have gotten as compared to this time last year...

This 1958 cartoon appeared in a magazine for college students studying agriculture at Kansas State. It depicts the farmer of the year 2000 tending ever so leisurely to his hyper-futuristic push-button farm. While it's clearly tongue-in-cheek, none of the technologies depicted are that far off from very sincere predictions of that time. Weather control, radioactive crops and lounge chair farming were all promises made to farmers of that distant year 2000.
Push button agriculture in the year 2,000 A.D. This is how the Kansas State College Ag Student, magazine for K-State students in agriculture, illustrated an article on the subject in the December issue, Gary Yeakley, writing half in fun and half seriously, foresees underground feed lots, copto-spraying use of selective hormones, and remote controlled jets and atomic-powered tractors.
From the January 1, 1958 Hutchinson News (Hutchinson, KS).

Building better bereavement support with members
537 words approx. 2.5 minutes to read
Members' experiences of bereavement are helping Co-op Funeralcare to work up plans for how we can be better placed to support members at the toughest of times.
Last year over 17,000 members helped us by joining in with our biggest ever survey into death and bereavement. One thing mentioned by many was the lack of support available to bereaved people.
With this in mind, we've been talking to members again to find out more about the support they received when they had lost a loved one, the extent to which it met their needs and about the kind of support they would have valued, had it been available.
What's emerged is a complex picture of bereavement support, in which friends and family play the biggest role, but where many needs are not being fully met. Members were in large agreement that the bereavement support they need is holistic – covering both practical and emotional measures, but where they get that support from could be from different places. For example, the type of support that they would expect from a funeral provider is less about the emotional and more about the practical.
It was clear that there are many ways in which people who have lost a loved one could be better supported. Some of these are relatively simple – like providing clear and accessible information about the steps you need to take and the things that you need to think about when someone dies, for example. These are not always obvious to someone who may not have previously experienced the death of a close relative or friend.
"It [support] was from friends and family, so mostly emotional. That was great, but I had to deal with the practicalities of a loved one passing away and I had no idea what to do." Lorraine, a member from Preston.
Other suggestions from members highlighted the need for support to be available over a longer period of time – to help people through the process of grieving, which continues long after the funeral.
"These days everyone is so busy – after the first 2 weeks everyone goes back to their own lives and you just feel like you've been dropped onto the surface of the moon." Gill, a member from Helston
As a funeral provider in communities throughout the UK, we're in a privileged position to support members and people in their communities when they're at their very lowest. After reading all the comments from members, it's clear there is a real need for more types of bereavement support.
We're already making steps to provide support in this area and have recently launched the Bereavement Notification Service. This offers our clients advice and assistance following a bereavement to help them sort out practical things like stopping mail to the deceased, closing down social media accounts and helping to communicate with banks, building societies and other financial institutions. However, there's still more we can do in this area and this feedback will continue to help inform and shape what that looks like.

Propositions Manager

Hello to every body, it's my first visit of
this blog; this web site contains remarkable and genuinely good information in support of readers.
It's awesome designed for me to have a website, which is beneficial in support of my experience.
thanks admin
I lost my dad just before Christmas and wish I had spoken to him about writing a will and what he wanted for his funeral and the same with mum as neither of them left a will. Dads was the hardest to deal with as he died intestate and we have had to sort is estate out which as been a long process. He left instructions with my sister for his funeral thank goodness. talking about wills and funerals should not be a taboo subject and as hard as it is to talk about it we all need do it I so wish i had spoke to both my parents about this as it is a lot more important than you realise so thankyou co.op for trying / making this easier to talk about. I am now in the process of writing a will my self and yes more bereavement support is needed too.
Dearest Saz,
I just wanted to offer my deepest sympathy to you at this very sad and distressing time.
I hope fond memories of your father bring you comfort, and you feel his love embrace you.
With love…. from a fellow human x
I manage a day centre for the elderly and quite early on I decided that no subject was going to be taboo to my members so I openly discussed with them whether they had wills and power of attorney, whether they had thought about how they would like to be remembered and whether they had discussed their own funerals and who they had told. Some of my volunteers were quite shocked and thought it was insensitive but the members had no problems with it – and it certainly highlighted that members who had no family had no-one to help them make a will or even talk to them about what would happen when they died. I have since been involved in 5 members completing powers of attorney legislation; as well as attendance allowance and other benefits.
Many of our members die quickly with no warning, some have suffered for years and then symptoms appear which makes it obvious. The members are encouraged to talk about their friends, but equally we accept that many of them are never mentioned again. Sometimes we are left a legacy and we can use that for anything we wish, sometimes it is specified. One lady requested that her money be used for a birthday card and gift for every member as "it was the small things that count".
We have had mixed experiences with funeral providers – some have been excellent but one was so bad I threatened to report them to the ombudsman for holding on to donations beyond a reasonable time,
On a personal note, my own father's funeral was a Co-op Funeral service and it was wonderful. Fifteen years on we have fond memories of their personal care and service. My mother-in-law's provider was an independent and was also excellent.
As well as talking to members, I hope you're finding time to talk to one of the start-up businesses in the Co-op's Federation co-working space which is working in this exact same area.
I know it's something the Board is keen to work on and this is a leading example of what could be possible. You could save a lot of time and money by forming a partnership with them.
They have products ready to go…..
Federation is a 3 minute walk from Angel Sq.
This is all excellent and any help given at the time of a bereavement is most welcome and should be applauded.
However as a Co-operative member for most of my life and I am now in my early seventies I was so disappointed to find out just recently that Co-op management had taken a decision with little or no consultation with it`s members to close down The Co-operative Electrical Store.
Our Co-operative Values and Principles are very much to do with our Co-op Society providing goods and services to members and the loss of Co-operative Electrical store is another nail in the coffin and demise of the Co-op providing services and goods for members and customers alike.
It is not just about profit it is about providing Co-operative services and goods..
