Predator DJ Eamon Cooke 'was a weirdo who showed up to crime scenes' - former head of Cold Case Unit
The former head of Ireland's Cold Cast Unit has claimed convicted paedophile Eamon Cooke was a "weirdo" who would show up at violent crime scenes.
Alan Bailey, a retired detective, said Cooke was known among Gardai at the time for his bizarre behaviour, which included him monitoring police radios and 999 calls to arrive at crime scenes before authorities.
The former radio DJ was jailed in 2007 for 10 years for sexually assaulting girls in the mid to late 1970s. He is believed to have abused hundreds of boys and girls before he was jailed. He died in a hospice last week.
The investigation into Cooke's links to Philip Cairns, who disappeared in 1986, have resurfaced as police now suspect the former radio DJ of killing the schoolboy due to fresh evidence.
"I had dealings with Eamon Cooke, my dealings went back as far as the mid '70s. At that stage, he known to Gardai. We heard about him that nine times out of 10 at a call in the city centre you'd find him already there in a Jaguar... he monitored 999 calls."
"He was a weirdo," Bailey old Newstalk Breakfast.

"He would ingratiate himself [into investigations], especially at scenes with a lot of violence."
Bailey recalled a particular case of a double stabbing in the early '80s and remembers Cooke "standing beside one of the victims" when he arrived at the scene.
"He was a funny fish to say the least of it," he aded.
Cooke became a suspect in the decades-old case when a woman recently came forward, and claimed she saw him murder the missing child in 1986.
Officers believe the information they received in the past month from the woman has provided the most compelling and credible lead in the investigation. The woman, who was aged nine at the time, told gardaí she witnessed Cooke killing the schoolboy at his radio studio in Inchicore, west Dublin.
In yesterday's Sunday World, Cooke's ex-wife, who would only be referred to as Sarah, broke her silence on her ex-husband's suspected involvement with his disappearance.
She received a call in May identifying one of his victims as the person who dumped Philip's schoolbag in the lane days after his abduction in 1986, the paper reports.
"I didn't know anything about Philip Cairns and he [Eamon] has been locked up for the last 10 years. I don't why anyone, if they had information, wouldn't have come forward sooner," she said.
"I do know Eamon terrified people. Was he capable of killing someone? The answer to that is yes. He tried to kill me on a number of occasions."
When Bailey was asked why those with information would wait decades to come forward, he said: "30 year old loyalties have broken down…the passage of time is a great thing.
"You have to examine on the basis of why - what were the factors? Was it fear, was it pressure? All those things must be taken into consideration."
There have been suggestions that a paedophile ring was being run at the time and protecting abusers and Bailey said the renewed interest into Cairns' death might spur on other victims to come forward.
"Quite possibly is other victims coming forward. [They have been] trying to bury their pain and hurt for years and year and this might be the catalyst."
Anyone with information or can notify their local garda station or contact a charity helpline "who will point them in the right direction".
As for the possibility of DNA evidence finally bringing closure to the case, Bailey said, "The age of the sample shouldn't make a difference."
"If there's DNA to do a comparison, it shouldn't be a problem," he added.

This is, without a doubt, the best homemade soup I've ever made. It's an excellent chicken soup recipe for colds, because it's super comforting and the chilli gives this soup a kick of warmth. It's a great homemade recipe to add to your repertoire.
I call this my immune boosting soup, because it's great for keeping yourself sick-free for longer, as well as fighting off colds and flu.
This soup is excellent to make all year round, and the ingredients are relatively easy to source and aren't especially seasonal. However, I love to make this in the winter because the flavors remind me of spring and summer. You'll never make another chicken soup recipe for colds and flu again.
The Main Immune Boosting Herbs
The main immune boosting herbs and other ingredients we're using here are echinacea herb and goji berries.
- The Echinacea Herb has been proven to boost the immune system, helping the body produce more white blood cells and fight off bacteria and viruses.
- Whereas Dried Goji Berries have been used in Chinese medicine for over 6000 years, and are a rich source of vitamins C, B2 and A but are also packed with iron, selenium and other antioxidants that are important for a healthy immune system.
Once you've made this soup, you should get around 4 decent sized portions that should keep for up to 3 or 4 days in the fridge. You can make a larger batch and freeze it in portions to get the most life out of this soup. I recommend eating this at least once a week, but amp this up if you come into contact with someone who is sick.
But let's take a look at the different ingredients that go into this divine immune boosting soup!
What You Need To Make My Chicken Soup Recipe For Colds
- 2 tbsp dried Echinacea Herb
- 5 tbsp Dried Goji Berries
- 200ml freshly boiled Water
- 2 ltrs Chicken Stock (homemade or cubes)
- 4 Chicken Thighs
- 2 Large Onions, roughly sliced
- 13 Shiitake Mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 5-10cm piece of Ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 fresh chillies (your choice of variety) thinly sliced
- 8 cloves garlic, chopped
This should produce 4 portions
NOTES: Use a piece of ginger that is between 5-10cm long depending on taste. If you can source them, fresh Goji berries can be used instead of dried to skip the rehydrating process. For the chicken thighs, you can use standard or boneless and you can remove the skin to make this recipe lower in fat.
Chicken drumsticks are a nice alternative, and breast can be used but tends to be a little dryer. Absolutely any type of chilli can be used for this recipe. Some are quite hot, others are more flavourful – choose a chilli that works for you.
How To Make My Immune Boosting Chicken Soup
First and foremost, prepare all of your ingredients by weighing them out and chopping where necessary.
I like to get this out of the way first as it makes everything run much more smoothly later on.
Now that all the chopping is out of the way, we need to make our echinacea infusion that we'll be using later on. Simply measure out 2 tbsp of the dried echinacea herb into a heat proof bowl and then pour in the 200ml of freshly boiled water. As long as the tap water is drinkable where you live it's totally fine to use.
Because the goodness in echinacea herb infuses with hot water more readily than cold, I like to put a plate over the bowl just to trap in that heat and prevent evaporation.
Because we're using dried goji berry, we'll need to rehydrate them before we can make use of them. To do this, pop your 5 tbsp of goji berry into a bowl and pour in enough cold water to cover the berries. You really have to give these a try, they really do make the difference for this immune boosting soup.
You may find that some float to the top, that's totally fine. Put them to one side with your echinacea infusion for later.
If you're using fresh goji berries, skip this step completely.
Now we need to make the stock. You can either use your own homemade stock (which is preferable) or you can make use of premade chicken stock or the 'just add boiling water' stock cubes. This time, I've opted to make use of the cubes, as they're super cheap and totally easy to use.
You'll want around 2 ltrs of stock for this recipe. If you're using the cubes like I am, follow the instructions on the packet. Once it's made, pop it into a large pan that you can put a lid on. Then add the chicken thighs, onions, mushroom, ginger, garlic and chilli.
Pop your pan onto the stove and switch it on to a medium-high heat so that the stock reaches a roiling boil. As soon as it's boiling, turn the heat right down to low so that the stock only simmers.
Then, pop your lid on and leave it for around 1.5 hours.
After it's simmered for 1.5 hours, turn the heat off and leave the pan on the stove. We'll want to use this window to finish preparing the infusion and the goji berries.
Using a sieve with small holes, separate the infused tea from the echinacea herb. Don't worry too much if some of the smaller bits make it through the holes, we just want the bulk of the herb out.
Do the same with your goji berries, except this time discard the water and put the berries into the infused tea.
Now, pour the echinacea tea and goji berries into the pot with your other ingredients. Bring it back up to a rolling boil, and then back down to a low simmering heat. Leave for a further 30 minutes.
After about 30 minutes, all of our ingredients should be properly cooked and nice to eat. The chicken should practically fall off the bone. If it doesn't, pop it back on the stove for a further 20 minutes.
Otherwise, you're all finished and you can enjoy your delicious, immune boosting soup! Garnish with any leftover slices of chilli and/or ginger. Sometimes I like to get rid of the layer of fat on top with a spoon, just to reduce my fat intake. But you don't have to, and it's even yummier with it left as is.
Final Thoughts
This immune boosting soup really is the bees knees. It tastes great, is ultra healthy and helps you fight off colds and flu, as well as keeping you well for longer. It really does tick all of my soup boxes.
I really haven't come across an immune boosting chicken soup recipe that's better than this, and it's one of the many home recipes I've had a go at. As a nice alternative, try throwing some noodles into the soup right at the end. It really does give it that 'grama's chicken noodle soup' taste and texture.
I like to eat this a few times a week. If I bump into a friend that has a cold, or spend the day in a large city or using public transportation, I always have a portion when I get home just to help combat a days intake of germs and nasty viruses.
If you have any cool immune boosting soup recipes of your own, particularly chicken soup recipes for colds, then go ahead and post about them in the comments section below. We all have our go-to comforts when we're not feeling so good, and I'd love to read about yours.
Don't forget to share this on social media, so everyone you know can benefit from a boost in their immune system. But otherwise, I hope you've enjoyed reading my soup recipe today, and I'll see you next time with another fabulous savvy homemade craft!

Practicing your righteousness
While reading Matthew this morning, I pondered what it means to "practice your righteousness in front of others" (Matt. 6:1).
Does this mean we should not do good things for God's glory publicly? Does it mean we should serve the Lord in secret, or only within the confines of the church body? As we ponder this verse within the scope of Scripture, we arrive at a much better understanding of Jesus' teaching.
In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus COMMANDS us to go into all the world and make disciples. Therefore, this requires public proclamation and godly living from us that is clearly visible. Peter tells us to be ready to give a defense for the hope we have in Jesus when questioned (1st Peter 3:15). Additionally, Jesus COMMANDS us to let our light shine before others so that they may see our good works and glorify our heavenly Father (Matt. 5:16).
So, what are we supposed to do? Are we to do good works so others can see them, or are we supposed to do good works privately?
I think the answer is found in your motivation for your actions. Jesus warns against doing "righteous things" for the praise/attention of others. On the other hand, Jesus commands us to do good things publicly to the extent that God is glorified because of our actions. The difference between the two is not so much visible as it is internal. In short, we must ask, "WHY AM I DOING THIS?". Allow me to expound upon this.
There is a long-standing tradition within the American church that those who donate a large sum to the church have buildings, pews, rooms, and other things named in their honor. The fact that someone has something named after THEM because they gave to the church is one example of a person receiving the honor and not God—this is why Jesus said to give in a manner that our left hand is unaware of what our right hand is doing (Matt. 6:3). There is also a tendency for some to pray ONLY when in public and not privately. Jesus warns against this in Matt. 6:5-6. If the only time we talk to God is when we are in the middle of a crowd something is very wrong within us. In short, Jesus is warning against HYPOCRISY, not holiness and righteous deeds.
The problem that Jesus worked to correct was that the religious leaders of His day were pretending to be holy in front of others while rejecting holiness in private. According to Jesus, our public lives should flow from our private time with the Lord. This makes sense if you think about it. As Christians, our job is to worship God and help others worship God with us. Hence, if you and I do not personally/privately worship God, then we are completely unable to help others worship the Lord. This is why Jesus rebukes the religious leaders of His day—they were completely inept at their jobs because they had personally rejected fellowship with the Lord. Sure, they were good at doing all sorts of "religious stuff", but they were awful at worshipping and fellowshipping with God. And Jesus despised this!
Let's make this personal. That is, let's take a minute for introspection and see if there is any wickedness in me similar to the wickedness Jesus identified in the Pharisees:
Do I spend time fellowshipping with my Lord? How?
That's it. Only one question. But it's a big question. If we neglect fellowship with our Lord, then we are "playing church" but not living as the church. Remember… God made us His temple and indwells with His Spirit so we could worship and fellowship with Him (2nd Corinthians 3:16). Our primary struggle in this life is not doing more good things or not doing bad things, our primary struggle is submitting ourselves to God through fellowship with and worship of God.
Bearing this in mind, let me encourage you to engage your God. He came from heaven to earth and died on the cross so we could have access into presence. Seek to know Him TODAY. Allow tomorrow to worry about itself, but do not let today pass without engaging our Great God!

Premiered October 28 on PBS. Check your local listings.
Vivian, her parents, and Flo pluck pears from a tree thats been in the family for 100 years. The arrival of Vivian's cookbook sparks a well of emotions as the reality of wheeling a food truck around the country sets in. In order to get a better handle on the truck, Vivian and her crew do a practice run at the farmer's market and serve up Tom Thumb with pear relish — a dish that pleases most but leaves a bad taste in Ms. Lillie's mouth.

Featured Ingredient: Pears
Featured Recipe
Kieffer Pear Preserves
As Vivian wrote on her blog: "Kieffer preserves are so special in fact, I wouldn't dream of simply typecasting them as condiments for toast or biscuits. They've got way more potential than that."
- 2 pounds peeled, cored and sliced Kieffer or sand pears 2 pounds granulated white sugar
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
- Toss the sliced pears with the sugar and lemon slices in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. (This step is crucial. Do not skip it. If you do, you'll make jam not preserves.) The next day, cook all the fruit and the accumulated juice over mediumlow heat for about 30 minutes until the fruit is translucent.
- Pack fruit into hot, sterilized canning jars, leaving 1⁄4inch headspace. Cook syrup for 3 to 5 minutes, or longer if it is too thin. Pour hot syrup over fruit, leaving 1⁄4inch headspace. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process for five minutes in a boiling water bath.

Want to know a secret? Those perfect smiles shown off by celebrities on the red carpet during award season are not always natural. Many have undergone various cosmetic and restorative treatments to fix imperfections, from bite issues and misshapen teeth to discoloration and gaps between teeth. Here is another secret…celebrities are not the only ones who can achieve a perfect smile. And what is the cost to my teeth? Will veneers ruin my teeth? If your dentist has been trained in doing no-prep dental veneers.
Those same treatments, such as teeth whitening, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers are available at your local dentist. No prep porcelain veneers are a fast way to drastically improve the appearance of your smile, with minimal damage to your existing teeth. Dr. James Fondriest of Lake Forest Dental Arts in Lake Forest, IL can give you a celebrity smile with the application of porcelain veneers or other cosmetic and restorative dental procedures. In the distant past, only women were seeking cosmetic treatments but today, men are asking for veneers just as much.
What are Traditional Porcelain Veneers?
Traditional porcelain veneers, also called "laminates", are hard shells made out of durable materials like porcelain. They are attached (bonded) over the front of the teeth to hide minor imperfections and restore a beautiful smile.
Uses of porcelain veneers:
- Close gaps between teeth
- Restore decayed, eroded or worn teeth
- Fix the size, shape and length of teeth so they are more uniform in appearance
- Improve symmetry and orientation
- Cover minor cracks and fractures
- Cover blemishes, stains and discoloration
- Create a uniform texture and tooth surface
- Change occlusion (position of the teeth)
Veneers are a popular option in cosmetic dentistry, as the procedure is faster and less invasive compared to crowns or dental implants. However, traditional veneers still often require the dentist to remove healthy portions of the enamel to create more space around the teeth. Once the enamel is gone, it cannot ever be replaced and the porcelain veneers can never be removed. Normal prep veneers don't ruin teeth. When done correctly, they are fantastic ways to extend the life of your smile.
What are "No-Prep" Veneers?
These days, many patients are choosing a new advancement in restorative dental technology that is even faster and less invasive called "no-prep" or minimal prep veneers.
No-prep veneers are thin laminates of non-brittle porcelain that are able to bond with teeth. They're as durable and strong as traditional veneers, but due to their thinness, they also preserve the natural coloring of the teeth. This means they can be crafted to cover any blemishes or discolorations on the teeth, without creating a one-shade, unnatural-looking smile. No-prep veneers require the teeth to be straight. Short term braces before the veneers may be done.
The Technology Behind No-Prep Veneers
Why so we say that our veneers will not ruin your teeth? No-prep veneers are a true innovation in cosmetic dentistry. The technology uses ultra thin porcelains or laminates, which are as thin as .02mm, and yet they are still as strong and durable as traditional porcelain veneers. Traditional porcelain can become extremely brittle if it is too thin, leading to breaks or cracks. The new technology creates non-brittle porcelain, which bonds to your teeth without cracking. They don't ruin your teeth because they don't require much or any drilling.
Advantages of No-Prep Veneers
- Less drilling and reshaping – Because of the technology, your smile can be restored while keeping the natural contours of your teeth. With traditional veneers, the dentist often has to drill, reshape or reduce the size of the teeth before they are applied. No-prep veneers require only minimal tooth reduction.
- Produce more life-like results – Another advantage is that multiple layers and textures can be applied to create different levels of translucency and color so that you have a more natural-looking smile as opposed to one-dimensional solutions such as Lumineers.
- A conservative, but still effective approach – Will veneers ruin my teeth? No-prep veneers combine the conservative advantage of dental bonding, with the same durability and strength as traditional porcelain veneers. When little or no drilling is done, we can absolutely guarantee that our veneers will not ruin your teeth.
The No-Prep Veneers Process
There are three phases to the non-prep veneers process.
Phase 1: Consultation
First, you will undergo an initial consultation to determine you particular dental and cosmetic issues. At this time, you and your dentist will discuss your options decide on the size, shape, length, color and texture for your veneers.
Phase 2: Preparing the mouth and veneers
The doctor and lab technician will determine if any of the tooth structure needs to be removed in preparation for having your veneers placed. Impressions of your teeth, mouth and jaw will be taken, along with pictures and measurements of your face, bite, jaw and natural movements.
Phase 3: Receiving your veneers
The opalescent porcelain sheaths will be placed over the front of your teeth. The dentist will ensure they fit properly and that they have the right appearance. The veneers will then be bonded using same composite material used in tooth-colored fillings.
Who is a Candidate for No-Prep Veneers?
In order to be a candidate for no-prep veneers, you should have good oral health in general. If you have gingivitis (gum disease), tooth loss due to decay, jawbone degeneration or other dental issues you may need a more aggressive solution like crowns or dental implants. Candidates are selected based on the condition of the teeth and whether or not a natural look can still be achieved with ultra-thin veneers.
Some other qualifications might be:
- If you have small teeth or teeth that have been effected by acid erosion
- If you have had teeth removed as a result of orthodontic care
- You have damaged teeth due to grinding
- You have oversized lips or a smile that is not proportionate to the rest of your mouth
- Your side teeth are tapered or turned inward and hidden when you smile
- You have genetically misshaped teeth
Will No-Prep Veneers Ruin My Existing Teeth?
The ultra-thin material of no-prep veneers usually requires little to no reshaping or drilling. This allows more of the tooth to be preserved. So they should only have minimal effects on your natural teeth. All high quality veneers have a very long lifespan.

I never quite understood how people come to be so emotionally attached to inanimate objects, cars especially. That is until I became one of those people.
It all started in 1996 when I was twenty-two years old. I was a year out of college and I didn't have a "real" job but I was applying to law schools. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. Then one day in early April, I was browsing the jobs section of the Chicago Tribune (the actual newspaper, not online; it was 1996 after all) and I saw an ad that read, "Want to work in Yellowstone National Park?" Of course I did! So I followed the instructions, mailing away for an application which I had to fill out and mail back in. Not two weeks later, I received a packet in the mail with a congratulatory letter and a Yellowstone Employee Handbook. I was hired and due to report to Mammoth Hot Springs in early May.
Much to the dismay of my father, my law school applications were put on hold and I began making plans to head west. But how was I going to get there? I could fly into Bozeman, but then how would I get from there to Yellowstone? I could take the Greyhound from Chicago to Livingston, but who wants to sit on a bus for all those hours? And then I still had no way to get from there to Mammoth Hot Springs. Seems I had no choice but to go car shopping. Mind you, I knew nothing about cars (I still don't know a whole lot now) and my mother knew even less. But she and I visited a dealership owned by a friend of my father's so we figured we were in good hands.
Long story short, I was shown a handful of brand new cars but one in particular really stood out to me. It was a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, red in color. It was the perfect size, big enough for me and all my stuff to get out west. And it was cute. What twenty-two-year-old girl doesn't want a cute, brand new car? So I decided on the Cavalier and then…. we started talking about finances. Oy. My head was spinning. I am so not math-minded and am easily confused by numbers. Seriously. I don't know how or why it happened, but I ended up placing a phone call to my grandfather (Papa) and gave him an update. He very adamantly told me not to finance the car, that he would pay for it in full and I could make payments to him instead. Seemed like a deal I couldn't pass up. So Papa showed up at the dealership with a check and I drove my brand new car off the lot.
I had no idea that this was to be the beginning of an adventurous, loving, and unnatural relationship. I had no idea that, almost twenty years later, I would have such an emotional bond to my little car.
A lot has happened in my life during the seventeen years since I acquired that Cavalier. First, I had the time of my life working and living in Yellowstone National Park. I met so many awesome people, fellow employees, from all over the country. Many of those people became great friends, including "my best good friend Karrie Beck from Tulsa, Oklahoma", who is responsible for giving my car its name, Dixie. Having Dixie there in Yellowstone allowed me the opportunity to explore the region and have adventures in other parts of Wyoming and Montana. So many happy memories of meandering through and around the mountains with my friends or with my love interest of the moment. Dixie simply became a symbol of all that made me happy. I never wanted to drive any other car.
I returned home from Yellowstone to take a "real" job and Dixie of course joined me. She still was my loyal companion. We took more road trips, I moved out of my family's home and into my own apartment, I met a boy that years later became my husband…. My life was changing, moving forward, but one constant remained: my faithful Dixie. The same can be said for my Papa. I was a grown woman, in my 20s, and closer with my grandfather than ever. He was a feisty and devout Marine who still believed in discipline and order, and in the occasional martini. My world shattered in April of 2001 when Papa unexpectedly passed away. I was left with all of the memories of Papa, with his transistor radio that we used to listen to baseball games together, and with Dixie. I was never going to let go of any of it.
Unfortunately, time and regular wear and tear caught up with Dixie. She just wasn't running well anymore and it would cost way too much to fix her up and get her back in working condition. Dixie was retired to a corner of our garage, never to run again. As our family and our possessions grew (namely a vintage Jeep and an RV), that garage space was becoming more and more valuable. My husband begged me to part with Dixie. I couldn't. I just… couldn't. We'd talk about it and I'd end up in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. Dixie held so many years' worth of incredible memories and was the last physical connection I had to my Papa. I was never letting her go…
Until last week. Rational Francesca overtook Sentimental Francesca. It was time. It didn't stop me from crying like a baby the night before Dixie was towed away, as I took a few last good looks at her. Dixie was my first travel partner. She will not be my last, but in many ways, she was the best.

So it's been over a week since my last post where I said I would blog more, but I promise it's just been cause I've been busy. Busy with work but I was also able to get in some good runs!
Saturday before last I set out for a 10 mile run on the Boise Greenbelt. I knew my brother would be running his first ever 5k race that day with some coworkers so I sent him a good luck text while I was out.
On my way back at about mile 8.5 I saw the runners heading towards the Boise State stadium. I asked the volunteer what time the race started and figured my brother hadn't reached that point yet so I waited to see if I could him. Unlike me my brother is tall so he was easy to spot and I started waving like a crazy person to get his attention...
I ended up jumping in and running half a mile with him into the Boise State stadium where I went around to try to see him finish. I can't say enough how proud I am of him. I was so excited for him when he first told me he was running a 5k. He ended up placing 3rd in his age group!
|They got to finish in the BSU stadium and hang out on the blue turf
As if that isn't enough motivation I had a running date with Linzi last Thursday.
This run was nothing shorter than AWESOME. I forget how much fun it is to run with someone else, just forget about pace and distance and just run for the fun of the company. If you read her blog you know she is moving to Georgia this week so we chatted about that, our races and hopefully some destination races in the future :)
I attempted to take a picture with the beautiful view of Boise in the background but it didn't work too well
Here's the view I was trying to get :)
We ended up with 5.5 miles of pure fun. She definitely motivated me by just being there and running with me. I'm sad she is moving since we just met and started running together but also excited for her and all the places she will be able to race at. Good luck Linzi I can't wait to read about all your adventures!
With all that motivation I registered for a half marathon which I ran this past Saturday! I'll post the race report on that tomorrow but my time was 1:56 which I was completely proud!
I've learned that the motivation is there, you just have to look for it. No excuses. Just get out there and do what you love to do. For me, it's running.

Pedestrian killed in collision with Royal Mail vehicle
A pedestrian has been killed in a crash involving a Royal Mail lorry.
The red HGV was in collision with the 45-year-old at around 12.40am on Saturday while he was walking along the carriageway of the A823(M) in Fife, between the M90 and Queensferry Road.
Emergency services attended but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sergeant Dominic Doyle said: "We are carrying out an investigation to establish the full circumstances and my thoughts are with the family of the man who died.
"We believe that he had been walking along the road towards Dunfermline but are keen to hear from anyone who was travelling in the area and might have seen him before the collision, or anyone else who may have witnessed the incident itself."
A Royal Mail spokesman said: "We are aware of the tragic events that occurred in the Fife area on Saturday morning.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with the families and friends of those involved.
"We are assisting the relevant authorities and cannot comment further while the investigation is under way."

Work Finisher Knife

Handheld Pneumatic Cutter
The MR Sprue Cutters with H in the part number are hand held cutters. This line of sprue cutters are hand operated, feature safety levers, and can be fixture mounted. This line features many standard and special blades.
EOAT Mounted Cutters
Get more out of your end-of-arm tool by adding the degating function to your custom tool. SAS Automation engineers can analyze your operation to determine the most cost efficient degating method for your part.
Rail Degaters
Compact, modular degating system for fan gates that greatly reduces finishing labor costs and provides a consistent clean cut for fan gates. Mounted on a rigid frame, this degating unit can be designed to trim either straight or curved fan gates. Radiuses as small as one inch (25.4 mm) can be cleanly degated by this system.
Lift Degater
The SAS Lift Degater was designed for large plastics parts. A robot transports the part to the Lift Degater and sets the part into the "part conforming nests", located at the top of the degater. The part is then trimmed by several precisely positioned cutting tools that match the nests. Precision and speed are coupled with several simultaneous cutting actions. The waste trim is then dropped into a container and the finished product is lowered on to the lift table. The product can then be removed by a packer, who is protected from the lift by a safety light curtain.
Custom Degater
SAS engineers use 2D and 3D CAD tools to create custom equipment that will perform operations quickly and safely. Every station is designed to increase productivity, ensure the safety of the operator, and reduce operator fatigue. SAS has tremendous experience developing special degating systems for very large as well as small and delicate parts.

Frank Woodruff, NACEDA ED Speaks at NJ Hill Day
NACEDA's Frank Woodruff Reminds Us We Are Stronger Together
National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations (NACEDA) Executive Director Frank Woodruff spoke at the July 13th Congressional Reception about the importance of housing and his support for No Housing Cuts.
"The federal government has a way of dividing us into categories that make no difference to the people that we serve. Who here is in this room is here because they have a role in building places and improving people's lives?"
"Thank you for reminding me and each other that there is so much more than we can do together than apart. And there is a lot more that brings us together than divides us. I want to wish you the best today as you deliver that message to the decision makers that walk through that door."
Said Frank Woodruff, Executive Director of NACEDA.Over 350 advocates traveled to Washington, DC to meet with the New Jersey Congressional delegates and let them know that there should be No Housing Cuts and the need for investments for housing and homelessness prevention.
Advocates urged legislators to oppose spending cuts to programs that reduce access to affordable homes for NJ residents.
In addition to the Network and Monarch Housing, 24 organizations and the Aldrich Foundation supported NJ Hill Day.
Frank Woodrurff explained that NACEDA's mission is to lead the community development field and its partners in shaping and influencing strategies that advance community prosperity.
NACEDA's theory of change is that a stronger, more unified community development field will lead to stronger, healthier, more prosperous communities for those who live there and that neighborhoods thrive where there are strong networks of community actors. Our members embody those networks.
NACEDA believes that successful community economic development:
- Begins in many different places depending on a community's history and context ? the key is to start!
- Is rooted in the themes of social justice while remaining culturally, ethnically, and racially relevant
- Emphasizes a comprehensive role of place, drawing on all parts of a community
- Requires long-term commitment
- Attracts private investment
- Engages local institutions and residents that lead and own local change
- Builds and supports the voices of local leaders who understand both the needs and assets in their communities and have the wisdom to create local, regional, state and national policy solutions.
- Across the United States, community development corporations (CDCs) provide the expertise, experience, and practical tools that get this work done.
The video was taken by Jay Everett of Monarch Housing.

It is estimated that a shocking number of 22 veterans commit suicide every single day in the United States. 22 is just too many! It's time to raise awareness about the suffering our veteran's go through. They fought battles on the front lines to ensure our freedom and when they come home, many still fight an internal battle.
This Tee can help to raise awareness to those everywhere just how many veterans daily choose to end their life because of this battle. By raising awareness, we can do our part to fight for the freedom that these veteran's so bravely and selflessly gave to us. Let's give them back their freedom to enjoy life once again. They signed up to pay the ultimate sacrifice for you, now it's time to show them how much you appreciate what they have done by helping to make others aware of what they still go through every single day.

I created a brand new empty report and have selected fields from both the Contact data as well as the Opportunity data. I set the sort order to be the Stage field of the Opportunity table. However, the report doesn't sort on Stage and two or more records with the same Stage do not get grouped together.
I attempted to modify the stock Pipeline report, but I found out that only Opportunity and Opportunity Product tables are exposed. I cannot get to the Contact table.
Any suggestions?

You might want to look at Durkincomputing.com. It's in Beta, but look at Durkin Toolkit. This company did something ACT! couldn't do for itself(or refused to or was too cheap to). Maybe cheap enough to laugh all the way to the bank at our expense.
The report for opportunities might not work with this addon, but I bet you can figure out another report with that "cheap" addon. That addon might be the most important addon of all time. Unlike most of these addons, it's the most reasonably priced. Certainly not like most here.

Do you live in a Ford or Chevy town?
(Hint: If you're in Amherst, it's neither. You probably parked a Toyota in your garage.)
But across the rest of Erie County, the allegiances seem clear in many towns - Ford or Chevrolet.
Search our database for your town or city. Or search by make to see the most popular car brands in your community.
Hamburg is a Ford town. And why not? The town's home to the Ford Motor Co.'s Woodlawn stamping plant. There are more than 8,400 registered Fords in Hamburg, compared to some 6,600 Chevrolets.
And Tonawanda? It's a Chevy town, of course. The General Motors plant there has been building engines for Chevrolets for decades.
But it's a close call in other places. West Seneca has 6,375 registered Chevrolets and 6,119 Fords. In Elma, there are 1,689 Fords and 1,554 Chevrolets.
The vehicle registration data comes from New York State. The state updated the data in July. Registrations expired more than two years are excluded. But revoked or suspended registrations are included in the count, because even scofflaws can be loyal to their car brand.
One-fourth of the vehicles are either 2014, 2015, or 2016 models. But the data also includes 580 vehicles made in the 1930s.
Many Ford and Chevy owners agree on one thing: color. Most of them are driving gray vehicles. Gray has been the top color for Fords and Chevrolets for nine of the past 10 years. The only exception: Erie County car owners registered more black Chevrolets in 2012 than gray models.

Pre-Conference Jitters
I'm now just over a month away from InD'Scribe. I've printed out a personal agenda for the conference, which runs Thursday through Sunday. I've rented my gown for the Enchanted Dreamweaver's Ball:
And made my hair and make-up appointments for said ball as well. Yes, I do feel a bit like Cinderella! This is my first conference as a guest author. I'll be on two panels and also have an author table in the signing room. It's exciting and nerve-wracking and has been giving me stress dreams!
I'm learning a lot just from the pre-planning. I have one book in print to bring, and Evernight Teen has assured me I'll have print copies of Manifesting Destiny in time too. Phew! I'm also very grateful that the conference organizers have found a bookseller to handle the sales end for the authors. This means I won't need to bring a cash box and change, etc. It takes a load of work off.
But there's still a lot to do! Besides being pretty for the ball (and the readers), I must be sure I have everything I need for my author table. So in addition to my agenda I've created a checklist. Some of it I can happily mark as done. Bookmarks and business cards? Check. Clipboard with sign-up sheet for my newsletter? Check. Still need to go pick up a table covering, and I need to create some tabletop signage. I've also been advised to have a water bottle handy. And I'm still trying to figure out what else, if anything, I might need. Don't want the table to be too bare, right? A bowl of candy has been suggested. What else? Is there anything that would draw you to a particular table in a room full of authors?
Turns out attending a conference is expensive as either an attendee or a guest author. It's just expensive in different ways. I promise to share everything I learn after the fact as well—what worked, what didn't. Now if I can just get a better night's sleep . . .

Third Blood Pressure Medication, Losartan, Recalled
November 13, 2018 - The FDA announced a third blood pressure medication recall because of possible contamination that can cause cancer. Sandoz Inc. is "voluntarily recalling losartan potassium hydrochlorothiazide tablets because the pills could contain an impurity N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)," which is a "probable human carcinogen, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer." Losartan affected by the recall is 100 milligram/25 milligram tablets with the lot number JB8912.
Valsartan is an off-patent active ingredient in a number of generic drugs, including drugs used to treat hypertension, heart failure, left ventricular failure, and left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction.
Valsartan is also sometimes prescribed with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) to treat hypertension.
Chinese manufacturer Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical first discovered that the generic valsartan products =the company was producing contained impurities, including N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA).
Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceutical supplied these generic drugs containing NDMA to US-based pharmaceutical companies Major Pharmaceuticals, Solco Healthcare, and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. These companies then processed and distributed the drugs to the US market.
NDMA is an organic chemical compound that has been labeled as a probable human carcinogen, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
NDMA is found in a variety of products ranging from lubricants and softeners to rocket fuel.
NDMA can be produced through chemical reactions that occur in the manufacturing process.
NDMA is the byproduct of the manufacturing of certain pesticides, fish processing, and the production of rubber tires.
NDMA can also be found naturally, in trace amounts in certain foods. NDMA is released in these foods through chemical reactions during the food preparation process. For example, NDMA can be produced by grilling, browning, and salting of certain meats.
Studies on animals have shown NDMA to be a carcinogen, causing cancerous tumors to form on the liver, kidney, and respiratory tract. Liver cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, and nasal cancer have all been associated with NDMA, but it appears to be a universal carcinogen, meaning it has the potential to cause cancer in almost all organs. For these reasons, NDMA has been labeled a probable human carcinogen.
NMDA exposure has also been associated with non-cancerous liver damage, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services.
In July 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall of a number pharmaceutical drugs containing valsartan used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure due to the increased risk of certain cancers associated with NDMA. Not all drugs containing valsartan were named in the recall.
The following were named in the recall:
"We have carefully assessed the valsartan-containing medications sold in the United States, and we've found that the valsartan sold by these specific companies does not meet our safety standards. This is why we've asked these companies to take immediate action to protect patients," said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The FDA issued a press release along with the recall announcement – "The presence of NDMA was unexpected and is thought to be related to changes in the way the active substance was manufactured," the FDA release said.
The FDA is now conducting a full-length investigation into the safety of the recalled products.
The FDA stresses the importance that patients DO NOT stop taking the recalled products altogether – the danger of abruptly discontinuing use of this medication greatly outweighs the risks associated with short-term NDMA exposure – patients should rather contact their healthcare provider right away to discuss alternative medication options.
The FDA followed suit of 22 other countries that had previously recalled valsartan products.
Were you prescribed one or more of the following products?
And developed any of the following injuries as a result?
Currently, TorHoerman Law is accepting and signing cases in the Valsartan Lawsuit. If you believe that you may potentially have a claim against Valsartan or similar drugs, please fill out the chat form.
Claims are being investigated against manufacturers and distributors of hypertension medications containing the active ingredient valsartan, which contains the probable human carcinogen N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). Major Pharmaceuticals, Solco Healthcare, and Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. sold hypertension and heart failure medication containing valsartan, putting consumers at risk of developing a number of life-threatening cancers.
Any questions? Don't hesitate to contact us!
July 18, 2018 - Teva Pharmaceuticals USA confirmed a voluntary recall to all consumers/user level of 29 lots of single & 51 lots of combination Actavis valsartan medicines. This includes any products whose active ingredient is valsartan or valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide.
This voluntary recall was issued after trace amounts of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) were discovered in valsartan products. It should be noted that this recall also follows a mandated recall by the FDA – the agency issued a full recall of all blood pressure and heart failure medication with the active ingredient valsartan or valsartan and hydrochlorothiazide.

The Wall Tavern recently opened at 1112 Santa Fe Drive offering a "chill vibe, casually strong drinks, and our relaxing nature," according to its Facebook page. Owners Isiah Pachner and Justin Cooper wanted to incorporate an arty feel to the place since they are located in the Art District on Santa Fe, so they fabricated the bartop themselves from copper, removed the plaster inside to expose the brickwork in the building and made the bar itself from wood salvaged from a century-old barn outside of Laramie, Wyoming.

I was born Brian Scott Clary in Houston, Texas as the son of an oil tool machinist and a mom that was a clerical worker in department stores—first part-time then fulltime. I graduated from Sam Houston High School, a school at which Lyndon B. Johnson coached a debate team. With the benefit of a one year scholarship, I then enrolled at Sam Houston State University, allowing me, as a freshman, to brag that I was in my fourth year at Sam Houston. After three years there, I received a Bachelor of Science degree in political science, becoming the first in my family to graduate from a college. Thereafter I was accepted to law school at the South Texas College of Law in Houston and received a Juris Doctorate degree in 1987. The focus of my legal career was in the practice of civil litigation working primarily on the defense side, representing individuals and companies being sued for civil liability. Five years into my litigation practice, I received a board certification from the Texas board of legal specialization in the area of personal injury trial law.
I married my wife Nina, in 1991 and by the Grace of God and an extraordinary amount of patience on her part, we are still happily married and raising two young – rambunctious – glorious boys. Over the years, when not toiling in a law office, I have enjoyed hanging out with my boys, playing golf—though I've all but given that up, spending time with my family, volunteering as an officer and director for Golfer's Against Cancer, a national cancer research charitable organization, and co-hosting a radio program: Hearsay with Chris Tritico and Brian Clary (2001 to 2007).
I began writing stories in the late 1990's thinking then that only family members and descendants would ever see them. Most trial lawyers are good story tellers, they have to be that and have the capacity to persuade to be successful. But I understood early on that "story telling" is not "writing" and simply describing situations, real or fictional, is more news reporting—than literature. With no formal training in writing, other than that which is used in legal briefs and pleadings, which also is not literature or very interesting for that matter, I knew I had to learn how to write. I have found trying to write, well, to be as frustrating as the years I tried to play golf. Like golf, writing is not something that you master, it's something that you cope with and pray for incremental improvement and for both you have to have the humility to accept and heed criticism. I am humbled when anyone takes the time to read something I have written and outside the birth of my children, I have had no greater feeling of joy, than learning that someone did read me and enjoyed it.

Does non-ionizing radiation pose a health risk? Everyone knows that ionizing radiation, like gamma rays, can cause cancer by damaging DNA. But the scientific consensus is that there is no such risk from non-ionizing radiation such as radiowaves or Wi-Fi.
Yet according to a remarkable new paper from Magda Havas, the risk is real: it's called When theory and observation collide: Can non-ionizing radiation cause cancer?
There are a few remarkable things about this paper but chief among th
