Xerox Customers Use Digital and Offset Products at drupa
Friday, June 06, 2008
Press release from the issuing company(June 05, 2008) Visitors to Xerox's stand at drupa, 8b/A78, can stop by to get a rare glimpse of more than 50 real-world digital printing applications being produced live under one roof by Xerox and its customers. Xerox's conversation stations offer details and demonstrations on how to produce these solutions. Hybrid digital and offset printing is one of six types of applications on display, including the following examples:
• Regional and personalized brochures created by Dutch printer Jubels for siding manufacturer James Hardie that combines the economics of long-run offset printing with the flexibility of digital printing, and allows for updates to be made quick and easy. At drupa, attendees can learn about the full workflow behind the collateral, starting with files created in QuarkXpress. Paper and offset patch sheets are used to profile the Xerox iGen3 110 Digital Production Press, using EFI Color Profiler 2.0 and Xerox EX Print Server powered by EFI Fiery to ensure color matching with offset. Inserts containing the customized content are created by region, printed on the iGen3 110 press, and then added to the brochure through the insertion module of a booklet maker or manually if the offset piece is folded offline.
• Yves St. Laurent fragrance sample postcards produced by Cardmine and Magjak allow visitors to a Web site to request a card with a specific scent and a personalized message for a friend. Postcard shells are printed on a Heidelberg offset press and variable data is added on demand on a Xerox iGen3 110 Digital Production Press. XMPie drives the personalization and files are sent to the printer via a Creo print server. Sheets are cut, a YSL fragrance sample is glued to the card and then the cards are folded and mailed. At drupa, visitors can see the end result of this process, produced on an iGen3 press. "We helped our client generate more revenue by using the best of breed in all areas: Xerox iGen3 for digital printing, Heidelberg for offset quality, and custom web-enabled workflow," said Bruce Browning, president of Magjak.
Both of these real-life applications also provide environmental benefits for Jubels and Cardmine by printing on demand and reducing paper waste.

Here's a brief post on the camera comparison between the 8megapixel camera on Nokia E7 and the 8megapixel camera on Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC.
Wanted to compare the E7 with the iPhone 4 camera but then I guess it's only fair if I compare it to the same 8 megapixel camera on the ARC. Here are some photos taken at different situations. Photos are unedited.
The E7 is sharper but not as vibrant as the ARC.
Not much difference here when it comes to high contrast.
For your information, the E7 has a fixed focus camera. That means no autofocus, no macro etc. Very bad when it comes to close up shots like this.
The Xperia excels in low light because of the Exmor-R technology used in Sony Cybershots & Alpha dSLRs.
The E7 couldve done better if it has autofocus. Anything within the 25m range will be blur.. just like the lift buttons here. The Xperia one is sharp.
So there you go.. camera comparison between the 2 mobile beasts. Now let's check out how both performed for HD video recording.

Two Important Briefs Available15 Oct 2014
Our 29 September meeting was a bit overwhelming. Cat Wheeler reported on the current state of HIV/AIDS in Bali and Indonesia (not good, and growing).
Of course with the HIV/AIDS epidemic we did respond by working with Bali Peduli to create a clinic in Ubud. This year the clinic has already seen over 700 patients, with 44 testing positive for HIV and 62 more on medication (some coming from other parts of Bali for treatment). Most of the positive patients are pregnant women infected by their husbands.

Child Helmet Project is up & running thanks to Terri & Penny08 Jan 2016
The helmet project is the passion of the Canggu Rotary Club to educate small children (the next generation) in using motor bike helmets. Sponsor support the purchase of helmets for 3 to 6 year olds and we help find kindergartens with the helmets can be given to kids with a story of the importance of wearing them.
The project is well underway and we have sponsorship for the first 200 children this year. Well done Terri and Penny.
Books for Balinese Schools08 Mar 2016
Recently, several of the Rotaractors went to Gramedia bookstore to choose 10 ,000,000 rupiah (about US$775) worth of books for their Mobile Library project. The money was donated by the Ogopogo Rotary club of Canada through the hard work of Diane Parker. They were lucky as we withdrew the money when it arrived and thus received more rupiah than if we waited until now. Also they received a 10% discount plus "souvenirs" to pass on to the children. We arrived at the end of the process in time to pay the money. Now they will have a Mobile Library Day in Pejeng, a small villiage East of Ubud, on one of the Saturdays in March to which we are all invited and encouraged to attend. They will let us know when. In the meantime with remaining money they will buy prizes for the children as part of the reading games.
A new need – hand puppets. They can find none in Bali and it would help storytelling

One of the 21 children we sponsored through The Bali Children's Project so they could continue their education. A child, to be able to go to school, MUST have 3 uniforms, books, pencils, paper, books, shoes, backpack, etc. Many children's families cannot afford that. So The Bali Children's Project steps in and supplies these items to needy children.
Our club is happy to contribute to their education!

Vision Quest: Bringing Vision to Indonesia's Blind13 Aug 2014
Indonesia has one of the highest incidences of blindness in the world. At least 3.6 million people are visually impaired and between two and three million of these people are affected by cataracts. For the vast majority of the population there is no hope of treatment, which is unavailable in most of the country. Many of the cataract-blind are elderly, but cataracts can occur at any age, including young children. Those afflicted lead marginalized lives, although most can be successfully treated with simple surgery.
"People are blind because they are poor and remain poor because they are blind" – Foundation founder John Fawcett
In July 2014 Rotary Club Bali Ubud Sunset sponsored free mobile eye clinics to four villages and two elementary schools in the Ubud area through the John Fawcett Foundation. Over 2,100 people were seen in five visits, including 355 children. The most seriously affected with vision problems in these village visits were among the elderly.
Purchase a Screening Voucher
and Save a Friend's Life10 Sep 2014
RCBUS member Janet Molloy asks us to support Yayasan Rama Sesana's women's health initiative at the Denpasar market, by purchasing vouchers (kupons) to send our Indonesian women friends for screening.
This is a hugely successful program that brings health services where they're needed – right next door to the market, with outreach into the market. Vouchers provide a package of services:
- General examination/vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory)
- Pap test (screening for cervical cancer)
- Gram Stain and Wet mount test (screening for RTIs/ STIs)
- Blood test (screening for HIV)
- Breast examination/palpable (screening for breast cancer)
- A follow-up visit is also included if necessary.
If anything suspicious presents, women are sent FREE to Prima Medika for a mammogram.
Cervical cancer is a big problem in Indonesia, where screening is rare so it's usually found too late.
A kupon is 300,000 per person. Considering you could save a friend's life, worth the price yes??

Living in Johannesburg?
Living in Johannesburg
There is a lot that can be said about life in Johannesburg, but by all accounts, a fitting way of thinking of it is metropolitan life, but pushed to extremes. This encompasses the good and the bad: in Johannesburg, you will experience the division between rich and poor in a much more pronounced manner than in most other places. You will see urban sprawl of huge dimensions, a great multitude of different ethnicities and cultures, and unfortunately, health and crime issues that also reach rare extremes.
With that said, no experience of living in Johannesburg is quite like another. The city offers a multitude of opportunities and faces, some of which are indeed undesirable, but many others of which make for a fascinating time as an expat abroad.
The Johannesburgers
Johannesburg is the most populous city in South Africa. At the time of the latest census conducted in 2014, roughly 4.3 million people were living in Johannesburg. Not only expats, but also many people coming to Johannesburg and its metro area from other, economically weak provinces keep the numbers rising.
In terms of ethnicity — still an important aspect in post-Apartheid South Africa — roughly three quarters of the population were of African descent. Another 16% identified as whites, with coloureds and Asians, mainly due to a numerously represented Indian community, accounting for 6% and 4% of the population, respectively. Our article on living in South Africa has further information on this classification as well as the cultural backgrounds of these heterogeneous groups.
A Multilingual City
Expats living in Johannesburg can expect to hear a variety of languages — a fairly unsurprising fact given the variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds of the population of Johannesburg and South Africa as a whole. Speakers of all of the nation's eleven official languages live in Johannesburg, although in wildly varying numbers. While the most important and significant language, at least for business and corporate life, is undoubtedly English, it is by far not the most widespread first language.
As of the last census, most widespread mother tongues were Sotho and Nguni languages, with more than half of the population of the city between them. English came in third, with about a fifth of the population considering it their first language. It is, however, entirely possible to get by with good command of the English language alone. You will only very rarely, if ever, get into situations in which you will not be understood. This holds especially true for the expat-heavy and professional circles many of you will probably frequent.
What to Do in Your Spare Time
One thing is certain: no matter what your interests are, you will surely find a great way to spend your leisure time in Johannesburg. Sports buff? Go enjoy soccer, rugby, or cricket matches of some of South Africa's biggest names in Africa's most modern arenas. Interested in the nation's past? There are museums commemorating the gold rush that led to the founding of the city as well as several dealing specifically with the nation's troubled Apartheid past, notably the Mandela Museum in Soweto, a former township.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site dubbed "cradle of humankind" is also right outside of town — known worldwide for being the place where the oldest hominid skeletons were found. Of course, art connoisseurs living in Johannesburg are also in for a treat, namely the Johannesburg Art Gallery. Life in Johannesburg obviously does not stop at dusk, and the city's bustling nightlife surely caters to every taste.
Joburg's Climate
Johannesburg has a fairly mild climate with lots and lots of sunshine and a heightened rate of precipitation in the summer months from October to April. The rest of the year tends to be fairly dry. Due to the altitude of the city (elevated about 1750 m), living in Johannesburg is a viable option for expats who have trouble dealing with heat: temperatures average around 25°C in the summertime. Although it is a fairly uncommon sight in the city, expats should definitely make sure to stock up on warm clothes in case of snowfall.
We do our best to keep this article up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that the information provided is always current or complete.

It's well documented what kerfs are achievable with commercial 1KW+ laser cutters cutting steel, aluminium and plastics. I wanted to know what kerfs were achievable on our 40W Chinese built laser cutter so that I could work out what to add to allow for kerf when designing finger joints to be cut in 3mm ply or when cutting holes to be tapped. The kerf is the width of material removed during the cutting process.
Kerf is determined by material properties and thickness, the focal length of the lens and the gas used while cutting. Our laser cutter uses a lens with a 50mm focal length and uses compressed air to push out the vapourised/molten swarf.

Perhaps ever since man accidentally threw some raw meat into the fire, the resulting culinary creation was a taste not soon to be forgotten. Even during the height of the Roman Empire, there have been discoveries of recipes listing down certain measurements of choice ingredients. Those who went about their business in the city still had to stop and refuel themselves somehow. In our ever changing and even busier world, it's good to sit down to a nice meal that someone prepared for you. And if you like what you tasted, the proper remuneration is well worth the gastronomic delight.
With the growing popularity of cooking shows and the proliferation of celebrity chefs, the business of food is, pun intended, hotter than ever. Bloggers who specialize in this industry dutifully snap a picture of what's served before them so that the feast for the eyes preludes the sensory fulfillment that hopefully, ends up with the smacking of the lips. Competition is quite fierce in grabbing diners for their dollars, but it's not just about the food anymore. It's really about the totality of the dining ambiance and where the fresh ingredients are sourced. In a sense, restaurants must attract all of the senses without necessarily overwhelming them. But, let's first take a quick look on how our restaurants came to be.
As knights and merchants during feudal times travelled across the land, these trips were bound to make anyone hungry. So, paying for a meal was quite acceptable during those days. They could stop by an inn on the road or purchase from vendors on the street, or even check out what was available at the local public market. Of course, options then were very limited as to what was readily available or in season. It really depended on what the cook's special was for that particular day.
It had to take the French as part of their fight for liberty, equality and fraternity to level up such crude dining experiences to what we're familiar with today. The chef had his own place where people can enter when they felt like eating and order from a set menu. If not for the French Revolution, this would not have been doable because their guild system restricted artisans from creating their own signature dishes. For example, a simple meat pie required a meat cook and a pastry cook to make this happen. If the person wasn't skilled in both areas, then the meat pie would never get baked because of certain regulations pre-revolution. The term for the restorative broth served at these establishments coined what we commonly know now as the restaurant.
Americans used this French template as an inspiration for their own savory fares. The ultimate dining experience was almost always in the French tradition. But, local ingredients like oysters from the Northeast, came into their own. Because of the continuous influx of immigrants, they also brought with them their unique food and culture to these shores. So, it's no surprise that dining at a Greek, Italian, or Chinese restaurant for that evening was an available choice. These cuisines also had to adapt to the American palette. For the latter part of the twentieth century, being the great innovators that they are, fast food chains and family dining franchises naturally followed. This was America's contribution to the consolidation and industrialization of restaurant and food services.
You can literally taste the whole world by just clicking your mouse and conveniently order your meal online in our present digital reality. But, nothing beats a proper table setting and the company of good friends to make your breakfast, lunch, or dinner a more memorable dining experience. With the wide range of opportunities to try an upscale artisan establishment or a simple street café or the many franchises that are out there, people need to eat and they're looking to eat well. Restaurants are definitely here to stay because we all got to eat.
Aside from the food which is always the main draw for your customers, there are also some other factors to consider in enticing your clients to return and to keep on coming back or at least spread the word with their friends. The ambiance plays a big role in whether your visitors want to stay or can't wait to leave. So, considering the right type of décor can be very critical.
There's that total dining experience that customers expect when they go to a new place. The service must be impeccable and the food must be sensational. Given the perfect setting like an indoor garden or a safari feel, the diners might find themselves staying a little longer. When you're enjoying the food and the atmosphere, what's the rush?
Aside from your clients' taste buds, they want to have that whole sensory happening when they initially encounter your establishment. Your piped in music can really set the tone. If you're after the high end crowd, classical and easy listening tunes may make them enjoy the food more. Fast food places usually play dance music so that the customers can eat faster and encourage a higher turnaround rate. The colors on the wall must match the creative genius of the chef. Reds, yellows, and oranges seem to be popular because it mimics the color of the human stomach. Messy tables, loosely strewn chairs, and overall chaos are a definite turnoff. If that situation persists, the next visit will be from the health inspector who just might shut your place down.
As a feast for the eyes on your walls, having delectable photographs that are offered on the menu or serene scenes of mountain ranges or seaside peacefulness may just increase the appetite of your clients. When the people are enjoying the vibe, they just might order more and continuously patronize your establishment.
When people get a that incredible taste of your specialties, they'll always want to come back. Having the perfect ambiance to match that is key to making these loyal patrons feel right at home. Aside from the food blogging community, nothing beats the glowing recommendation of friends and neighbors. The locals have a knack of finding the best places to eat and if you're on that list, you'll be serving up your culinary creations for many years to come.
Restaurants need that ambience advantage to amplify the food offerings they have. That's why the walls need to be decorated smartly and not feel too cluttered. The food must remain the star of the show, but the stage area must be properly prepared. Feel free to seek advice from professionals like the Prolab Digital group who know what designs can aptly suit your dining area. When you find the right combination of a sumptuous meal exquisitely enjoyed in a hassle-free setting, then you're well on your way to be a must try outfit.
More than ever nowadays, conscientious diners are more aware of what they consume. They want the healthiest fare possible so that they get optimal nutrition into their systems. This mindfulness makes them more conscious about their surroundings and that in some way, allows them to be more careful about what they put into their mouths. The entire body becomes attuned to what's good for it and what's not.
The research conducted the last few years that looks more in depth into these healthy eating habits means that there is a slow-down of sorts, more chewing so that fewer calories are ingested and weight loss gets maximized. The environment of dining establishment needs to support such health options and a cleaner way of living.
A more serene ambiance like a fine dining set-up supports this movement. One experiment at a local restaurant had a particular room sound proofed, the lights were dimmed, and jazz was the background music. To add more style and substance, candles were lit and fine linen table cloths were laid out. Waiters politely asked the diners if they would like to order more as part of the exercise. When this was compared to other settings with bright lights, loud sounds, and blaring colors, the ones who were fortunate to have a more civilized setting seemed to have consumed 175 less calories.
Even if like foods were served in the control and experimental scenarios, the ones who felt more at ease were likely to eat less. It seems that the louder the music, the more one ate. While the opposite effect decreased intake for those under soft lights and sounds. The ambiance encouraged them to stay longer, but that didn't mean that they ate more, in fact, they ate less.
Other studies have shown that when people eat quickly because of the fast pace of music, the mind doesn't have time to process that the person has gotten full. In a more laid back and relaxed milieu, the brain savors the food more and relishes each bite. Thus the feeling of fullness sets in at the proper time. That kind of ambiance provides a healthier alternative of sorts.
A nice quaint atmosphere may make the patrons eat less but they'll feel more satisfied. They're not gulping down their chow like there's no tomorrow. In fact, given the right visual cues, it adds to their whole dining adventure. A good place with good food and the right ambiance will always be the most preferred venue.
Mindful eating thus allows you to fully enjoy each and every bite. The meal is totally enjoyed given the most supportive of environments. When you are truly present to each bite, each unique taste and combination of flavors, that just adds to the overall satisfaction of every delectable morsel.
If you allow yourself to have beautiful pictures hanging in your usual eating place, put on some calm tunes, notice how much more satisfying it is to munch on your sandwich. It doesn't have to be any place fancy for you to enjoy a decent meal. Actually, you'll always feel like you're eating well and eating right with this very conducive ambiance.
Why look elsewhere when it comes to visual treats than the group that's has more than 20 years of experience under its belt? If you have sumptuous burgers, mouthwatering slices of pizza, sweet ice cream, or other delectable items posted on your walls that can make your stomach begin to growl, you've come to right place with Prolab Digital.

We're committed to making access to our courses as fair and equitable as possible and we achieve that in a number of different ways.
Adult learners
We know that many of our students don't come to us straight from school or college, and we welcome the diversity and experience that brings to our community. This may mean that you don't have the standard qualifications that you'll see stated in our entry requirements.
Our applications process can take this into account by offering an alternative entry route, for example, by considering a far broader range of qualifications than simply A-Levels, asking you to come in for an interview, or to sit an entry exam relating to your chosen subject. If this is something you'd like to explore with us, please let us know.
Bursaries and scholarships
We award cash bursaries to the most talented of our entrants via the McLoughlin Planning and Environmental Management Merit Award and the Herbertson Geography Merit Award.
These awards consist of £1,000 cash, paid following registration on the course, in recognition of outstanding performance at A-Level, International Baccalaureate and GCSEs, or equivalent qualifications.
No application for the bursary is needed, as all entrants are automatically assessed on the basis of their academic performance and UCAS application.

I would say, the fish cake and the fu chok rap with taufu and fish paste was totaly sucks... We did not really fish the whole plate. I think ah koon fish cake is better then this. The Wanton was not bad.
Here is the display warmer for all the fried stuff. I prefer the fried stuff in puchong yong tau fu and ipoh road one. This one was totaly out.

Petaling Street
I was in Petaling Street few weeks back during the moon cake festival. I was there with my mum to shop for moon cake at Yook Woo Hin. Well they are the traditional moon cake bakers during the 80sa and now they still the same serving the traditional old style moon cake, not like now with chocolate, ice cream or whatsoever.
After that, we went to the famous traditional Chinese biscuit stall in Petaling Street which is the Fung Wong located near the market. They sell various types of biscuits such as Egg tarts, Siew pow, Hup toh soh, Lo poh peng, Kong soh peng, Kah Lui Peng, and moon cake as well. All the traditional biscuits are freshly daily made from the kitchen at the back of the shop.
Also not forgotten the famous sweet potato snack in Petaling Street, the sweet potato balls are fried at the stall to maintain the crispy texture of the snack. The lady has been selling there for almost 20 over years.

San Antonio hotels join Omni portfolio
Omni Hotels is welcoming San Antonio's La Mansión del Rio Hotel and Watermark Hotel and Spa to its portfolio of destinations with the official transfer of ownership to the luxury hotel company.
"We will embrace the time-honored traditions and fine details that have garnered prominent status for these beautiful hotels," said Michael Deitemeyer, president of Omni Hotels. "Along with exceptional service, each of our hotels reflects the distinct character of its surrounding city, and these new additions to our brand portfolio will allow us to extend this philosophy in San Antonio."
Omni Hotels understands first-hand the inherent value created by the character of San Antonio and its popular River Walk because the company has roots firmly planted in Texas. Based in the Dallas suburb of Irving, Omni has eight other hotels in the state, including two each in Houston, Dallas and Austin, one in Corpus Christi and another in San Antonio. The company also will break ground this summer on a multi-million dollar luxury hotel and condominium development in the heart of downtown Fort Worth. Omni's plans for a renovation of the guest rooms at Omni La Mansión del Rio will carefully blend with the hotel's famous setting and ambiance.
Omni Hotels has appointed John "Rusty" Wallace to the general manager position. Supported by the strong leadership team already in place, he will ensure that guests enjoy the memorable experience they have come to expect at both hotels. Wallace is a native Texan and 30-year veteran of the hospitality industry. He previously served as the general manager of the award winning Omni Mandalay Hotel at Las Colinas, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Under his guidance, this four-diamond hotel was listed in Condé Nast Traveler's 2006 Gold List of the World's Best Places to Stay.
Omni will welcome the new hotels beginning this spring by offering two La Mansión signatures at locations throughout Texas. Bartenders will pour La Mansión's legendary margaritas, hand-made using only fresh lime juice and top-shelf tequila and served in colorful, hand-blown glasses from Mexico. Each night, members of Omni's Select Guest program also will receive a small, hand-painted box of colorful worry dolls, a charming tradition created centuries ago by the Yanaguana Indians, for a worry-free sleep and welcoming of a new day. Meanwhile, guests at Omni La Mansion del Rio will be enticed with an offer to receive one of several gifts designed to reward the senses when they book another stay at any Omni location. Each of these offerings add to Omni's sensory branding efforts that create compelling, memorable experiences for its guests.

My research interests are in the field of harmonic and
functional analysis. More specifically, my recent work involves
projects in
analysis on fractals, and the interaction between
operator algebras and
irreversile dynamical systems and wavelets.
Some problems I am currently pursuing include the theory and applications of Calderón-Zygmund and pseudodiferrential operators on p.c.f. self-similar fractals, the construction and properties of groupoids associated with dynamical systems and wavelets, and a proof of the generalized Effros-Hahn conjecture for groupoids and Fell bundle over groupoids.

More and more often I find myself in this kind of situation with BK1: We are speaking about something or I'm telling a story and I use a word that BK1 doesn't know. Today it was "Abenteuer", "Adventure".
Not long ago I would have explained the word, but recently I found the easiest way is to say it in English.
Tonight I noticed I was doing it and I thought 'I'm being lazy, I really should explain this in German!'
The two main points are, of course: 1. her English vocabulary has passed German vocabulary in size. I'm guessing it is bigger than French and Arabic vocabulary, too. When did that happen? And 2. she grew that vocabulary entirely outside our house, it is truly foreign to me. This is very strong evidence that both OPOL and MLAH work and work very well.
One thing: I have this idea in my head that at some point, I will start wondering how well I know my children. I always thought that and I probably placed that time somewhere around puberty. But now I'm wondering just how unknown my daughters will be given their first language is not mine. The time might come a lot earlier than I thought!
All I can do is keep OPOL alive. Let's hope the little German part inside their heads will always be my home...

Workshop machinery-Automotive equipment-ultrasonic injector cleaner machine diesel and petrol
Cleaning injectors.
When your engine analyser indicates that the injectors are dirty in a motor, the best way to clean them is with a professional injector cleaner.
I use the Asnu ultrasonic injector cleaner in an 8 cylinder configuration.
It is best to have the 8 cylinder model as it allows you to do more injector refurbishments at the same time in a quick and reliable fashion.
The Asnu injector cleaner is a high quality unit that is very fast and efficient at cleaning multiple injectors at the same time.
Injectors get coated with a varnish like material from fuel evaporation and cleaning them without a proper machine can be tedious, useless and can cause damage easily if you mark the face of the injector.
Ultrasonic cleaning is by far the most efficient means of getting injectors back to specifications.
8 cylinder Asnu Injector cleaner
I have sold and serviced these Asnu injector cleaner units and can recommend them from first hand experience.
I have never had one returned not working, and these are very reliable beautifully engineered units.
A good second-hand unit will cost around $1500 to $3,000 dollars refurbished, depending on age, condition and model.
Just a note on removing injectors. The ones that have a small spanner size and are deeply recessed such as on some fords and Mercedes Benz vans be very careful to use a high quality thin walled deep socket spanner and ensure it is squarely in place.
(I have seen many a mechanic lose a few hours trying to get stuck injectors out, often breaking them.)
Despite all the hype around doing a one action clean of valve body, injectors, pistons, cylinder head and valves, I would not even entertain it.
You are likely to end up with an oil burner!
If you need to clean the pistons and head on a modern engine, you need an engine overhaul, not a clean.
The reason a motor gets really dirty inside is due to poor maintenance which causes the engine to wear out the piston rings and other vital and expensive components.
Cleaning pistons can badly damage a worn but reasonable motor sending sharp tiny particles of carbon down the side of the piston where it can contact the compression ring, then the oil ring, then scoring the cylinder before making it's way in to the crankshaft bearings.
Very expensive repairs will be needed if that happens.
I instruct all my mechanic when doing engine overhauls to dissembled every component in the motor, wash the block including all oil-ways out with high pressure water, then blow the block, head and shafts, oil-ways out with high pressure air, then oil spray before assembly in a dust free environment.
Will these units clean all injectors? or is there certain ones that need a different unit?
hi, ernest, im looking for asnu equipment second hand. do you know something about this
tank you very much,
plese wirte to my e-mail , im from mexico
Another interesting hub for my son. Thank you.
Would these work on diesel injectors too, Earnest? All of our farm tractors run on diesel and some of the fuel injectors on the older tractors could possibly benefit from a good cleaning.

Mold making machines in the superior quality and better technology is available to suit a variety of options. The enterprising popularity in small scale industries is certainly making it possible for people to get better models in plastic mold maker. The quality of the molds is certainly superior and one can customize the same for better understanding. Initial drafts are done on paper with the help of dimensions and drawing. It is required to study other aspects of injection, ejection system as well as clamping to know about the machines. The popularity of the machines is increasing for die making and new concepts are now being engineered in the market.
The mold manufacturer in china at SINOMOULD has a great toggle system and the hydraulic system is great for improving speed. Certain high power systems are also used to increase the speed.

It is a sad day for the motoring world, troubled German sports car maker Wiesmann is finally going out of business.
After declaring bankruptcy – or whatever bankruptcy's efficient German cousin is – in August 2013, the small automaker struggled along through the winter trying to salvage the company or find a buyer. Unfortunately, as Auto Express is now reporting, no one was willing to come forward and take responsibility for the Wiesmann's obligations, or, sadly, its 125 employees.
Wiesmann, has been in the automotive business for nearly 30 years. It began its life making hard tops for convertibles and eventually started making its own cars in partnership with BMW's M Division. For the last ten years or so, Wiesmann has turned out curvaceously retro two-seater sports cars, packed with the engines and running gear from BMW M3s and M5s.
Anyone who saw these cars on their appearance on Top Gear, or better yet, had a chance to see one in person, can attest at how beautiful and cool they were. Not to mention that its last model the GT MF5 had 547 horsepower … ach du lieber!
And that is the real tragedy of Wiesmann. Its collapse came not so much because of a failure in its product, but rather in its timing. Wiesmann invested heavily in a new factory and designs in 2009 … just as the economic crisis saw the market for performance cars, let alone performance cars from little-known German companies, vanish.
The world of bespoke, independent automakers is fraught with difficulty, and most such companies operate on a razors edge of profits. Wiesman was no exception, and even this temporary loss in sales, it seems, was enough to kill it.
So, auf wiedersehen Wiesmann, and thanks for all the beautiful cars.

The pass few weeks I had been in silent for the reason that I was preparing to submit an application for ADC2 (besides the time i had for my sister's wedding). And now I'm breaking the silence and getting myself to Speak Up!!!
Speak Up!!! is an android application designed to test your English speaking skills, it has 3 levels (easy, medium and hard) to choose from, and over 100+ words to randomized. On each stage you will have N randomized words (you could change N on the preference menu) and you have to speak each words correctly. In the end it will calculate the correct and wrong words that you have spoken.
From the technology standpoint, the app uses the Speech-to-text function of the phone (abuses it, lol) and used the database to store the words that you need to say. It's designed to be simple and designed for non native English speakers though native English Speakers are fully welcome to try it out.
At the end, either we win or not, we hope to change the world, to make it a better place through technology and through the gifts that had been given to us. We sincerely hope that our application would help you all in any way possible.
And I would like to thank Gary Law for this wonderful designs and layout.

After more than a year in planning, with both of them living in Cape Town for most of that year, Heidi and Shaun's wedding was simply wonderful, and with a bride as beautiful and as happy as Heidi, it couldn't possibly have been any other way.
In case you're wondering, their wedding is hashtagged in social media as #GingerGooseWedding because Shaun is a ginger, and Heidi's maiden name means she's been called "Snowgoose" for at least as long as I've known her. They even had a special ginger and gooseberry jam made up as their wedding favour!
Planning this wedding with Heidi was extra special for me as Heidi and I have been friends for a few years, and my husband and I were guests at the wedding so I got to the bridal shower as well. Seeing Heidi in her gown for the first time gave me goosebumps! She looked incredible!
Heidi and Shaun both wanted a relaxed, easy going vibe for their guests, and they decided on a picnic with an exquisite choral and seafoam colour scheme lending itself beautifully to the spring weather!
During her planning, Heidi had several Pinterest boards that she used to document her inspiration for her wedding, and when we spoke to potential suppliers for decor, make up, hair styling and clothing, she included links to her Pinterest boards so that everyone could see what she had in mind. It was really helpful and I think there may be a few new Pinterest users as a result.
Heidi and Shaun carried a Scrabble theme throughout their wedding, from their engagement announcement and their save-the-date, to their wedding favours, and even the wedding cupcakes! And they very cleverly saved themselves a lot of money by using electronic invitations, only making up traditional invitations for special family members.
Heidi also sourced several items herself while on a business trip in the UK, like the suits worn by the groom and his entourage, the tutu worn by her little niece and her divine seafoam green, Chantilly lace covered, high heel shoes!
The search for the right venue was over quite quickly. It couldn't be too too far away, it had to be pretty, have good food, be able to do a picnic wedding and of course- fit their budget. Heidi loved River Place the first time she saw it, and as soon as Shaun was in Gauteng again they went to see it together and that was it. They didn't look at another venue!
There was only one person Heidi wanted to see about making her and her bridesmaids' dresses and as always, Marieks' work was beyond reproach! There is never a stitch out of place and I am sure you will agree that the bride and her entourage look incredible!
Then we started talking to decor suppliers, hairstylists and make up artists. Scheduling appointments for Heidi for her dress fittings, meetings, make up and hair trials, decor mock ups and so on was tricky as she was only in Gauteng once a month for a week – and she had lot of work to do in that week as well so it wasn't easy for her to get time off. But we did it!
The ceremony took place outside, with a backdrop of origami geese framing the couple as they said their vows. From there the guests went to a huge lawn next to the Hennops River, set with picnic blankets, scatter cushions, bean bag chairs, picnic baskets, vintage decor, and cocktails in mason jars!
Heidi changed out of her gorgeous lace high heels into a pair of seafoam green Converse sneakers so that she could be comfortable on the picnic lawn and then the newlyweds were seated on a couch – which was how they met – and all the family and group portraits took place on and around the couch.
As usual, when I am running around on the wedding day, I didn't get around to taking many pictures at all, but you must click through to photographer Jeanette Verster's blog and Facebook page to see how she captured the day.

The majority of Michigan prisoners will eventually return to society, making it critical that the state focuses on rehabilitation and reform of prisoners. The Pell Grants would allow inmates to use federal grants of up to $5,815 to pursue a two- or four-year degree. The grants are part of a strategy to help reduce recidivism and help offenders return to a normal life. Partnerships between state government and Michigan businesses will also be explored.

Hey Everyone!
Since I don't normally do posts directed towards business attire, I decided to dedicate this week to some of my favorite office looks. If you haven't seen yesterday's post on where I like to find Chic Work Wear pieces, then be sure to check it out! Dressing for work really doesn't have to be a daunting task and I'd like to prove that this week. When I think about some of my favorite summer staples for the office, there are a few pieces that come to mind. One of them is a great pair of Chambray Trousers. For those of you that don't know, Chambray is a lightweight clothing fabric with colored warp and white filling yarns. Although very similar to the way that denim is constructed, Chambray and Denim are not the same. The techniques used to weave both Chambray and Denim is the reason why they vary in color.
Chambray is easily one of my favorite summer staples for the office because the fabric is great for dressing up AND dressing down. If you work in a casual office, this fabric is perfect for you because it's lightweight, drapes well and is super comfortable. On the flip side of that, there are also some killer Chambray suits out there that would go great for an office that requires more traditional business attire. For my look today, I decided to go in between. I'm not exactly casual, but I'm not entirely dressy either. I bought the trousers I'm wearing last year but also love Loft's Chambray Fluid Trousers in Marisa Fit. Because Chambray is typically softer than denim, these trousers feel amazing on! To compliment the baby blue color of my trousers, I'm wearing Loft's Tabbed Dolman Blouse in a very light Pink Powder color. This is such a laid back outfit for the summer, I love it!
Here's my look:

One thing is for sure, doing posts like this help me to be more creative with what I wear to work. I hope they benefit you as well!
What are some of your summer staples for the office?

Many women avoid blush, but it can be your beauty secret weapon. For healthy, natural colour, nothing beats blush. However, blush tends to be overused as well.

The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) reports the state's deer population is mostly healthy, but a seasonal disease is suspected in Cedar County.
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), or bluetongue virus, is thought to be the cause of death of 15 deer in that northeastern Nebraska county.
Todd Nordeen, NGPC Big Game Disease and Research Program manager, says it is serious and can dramatically reduce a population of deer.
"And it has, you know we've seen it over the years, it's generally a long time in between before we see a serious impact, generally 15, 20, 30 years apart, but the disease is there every year and there's no cure for it," Nordeen tells Nebraska Radio Network.
EHD peaked in 2012 since first appearing in the state in the 1970s.
"In 2012, we actually saw a great deal of deer succumb to this disease. In some places, it was over 50 percent mortality," Nordeen says.
A biting insect spreads the disease, but Nordeen says the bug dies off after the first frost.
"The symptoms we see in sick deer are a lot of times they're close to water due to running a fever, they lose their fear of humans, so you can actually get fairly close to them at times, and then over a short period of time, they can actually succumb to it," he says.
Nordeen says the disease only affects deer and poses no risk to people.
