Checking the ETA on the GPS on my G4, I realized one thing, I am Late. Which, for all of those who do not know me, is one of my biggest pet peeves. I never cut things this close, but life happens and here we are. Robert is sitting in the passenger side next to me as we rush across the Ben Franklin Bridge towards New Jersey. I drop Robert off with barely a goodbye and cruise down the high way to Haddonfield, NJ to meet the amazing, talented Interior Decorator, Sharon Goldberg.
I pull up to the Goldberg house at 8:55am, I am five minutes late. As I turn off the car, Sharon walks out of the front door of her house waving, looking casual, cute and totally less spastic than me. I feel a sensation of relief. Of course she wouldn't hold my tardiness against me. I mean not only is Sharon one of Yael Pachino Photography's biggest supporters, but she is also a dear friend who owns her own LLC and totally gets it.
We pack up her car with all my gear and get on the road. We start girl-talking and before, I know it, we pull up to the first house on our list of interiors to photograph.
"You decorated this house!?" I ask flabbergasted.
"I know... Isn't is stunning? Michele, the owner, is also the sweetest thing."
And Sharon was right, as always.
Michele opens the door with a warm smile and welcoming eyes and as we exchange the standard pleasantries, I see it; an incredible dining room to the right of the foyer. Big windows, lovely paintings, a gorgeous mirror and the coolest part about it was the magnificent pool table right smack in the middle of the dining room. No huge wooden table, no large hard chairs, just an awesome pool table with amazing accessories surrounding it. Sharon and I spend the next thirty minutes walking around the house with Michele, laughing and chatting as I photograph the interiors. We run into Maggie, Lisa's gorgeous dog and I cannot help but snap a few frames.
The next house, was just as fabulous and as beautifully decorated as the first. Sharon can take any room and making it look classy, inviting and fun all in a perfectly coordinated, yet subtle way. We photograph the master bedroom that has these fantastic, giant windows that let the sunlight flood in. The blue accent wall really pops and every detail was clearly thoroughly thought out and planned.
We end the day with a lunch at the local deli where we girl talk even more and share some delicious soup. As I try one of the potato latkes I think "what could be better than this?"


car starts and idles but wants to die if press gas
I have a 02 Ford focus 2.0 sp single cam the car will start and idle fine but if you give it
gas it will sputter and try to die but you let off I will Rev up some and then idle fine again
I have replaced fuel and air filter spark plugs etc... and still does it please any
yes. take a look at your EGR valve (smog control device). this one introduces the exhaust into the intake under decel and to simplify the explaination >>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ifz8YdN2kM
Ya dont learn do ya judge im done trying to explain things to you.
Do you have any codes stored in the pcm? Very well could be a mass air flow problem sometimes some crud can get on the sensor and cause issues. The idle air control valve may be acting up but usually if they act up you will have a high idle not a stumble. You said you replaced the fuel filter. Have you checked the fuel pressure by chance.
well apparently I don't know from beans, dropped "beans" from the name don't ya know, yes upon acceleration the EGR introduces "inoccous NO2" into the mix to keep the operating temperature exact, but this business is tenuous, and controls must be exact for this to work properly-
did you not see the U-tube video I posted up there?...well then~
I dont need to watch youtube videos for information I do it for a living. Once again its not your suggested diagnosis but your explanation of egr working on decel. I wouldnt rule out egr in this case, its a more unlikey option but not impossible. But it was never designed for decel conditions if it were to ever work on decel it would be improper operation.
I am assuming you have no PCM codes or you would have mentioned a check engine light. I would check the fuel pump as well as the EGR valve. I have seen them go out but still idle fine.
the fuel pressure regulator if the hose falls off will suck air thru the connection causing high idle and improper fuel pressure~....will NOT issue a trouble code but must be manually checked with a vacuum suckin' tool~
egr gonna throw a code if not the map or you will have a nasty misfire at idle bc the plugs are gonna carbon up. check fuel pressure. check air filter. seems to me that your missing of the two. im going with the fuel side bc idle only requires like 40 lbs but accel or running speeds requires like 50 to 55 lbs. the rev your getting when you life the pedel is the motor coming back in to good running order thus why im leaning more to the fuel side. to explain it more it like that pull out handle on you sink when you squeeze it the foset water slows to nothing. when you low on fuel pressure and you open injector #1 the rest of the injectors progessively lost fuel until #4 doesnt have enough to fire. thus acting like a dead cylinder and creating a stumble or dying situation.
I am having problem with my Acura 3.0cl...it dies every now and then when I hit my gas but start right back...sometimes it drive perfect but every now and then it does that
I'm having a problem with my focus it will run but doesn't idle right and when I hit gas it dies I need help I don't know what's going on
I have a 1988 Pontiac trans am it idles out but when I push the gas and it wants to die but it doesn't I changed my tps sensor and it still does it
I don't know how to do these forums I don't have an answer for the question but I do have a question myself... My 03 focus svt runs fine for a bit really fine actually but after a while it act like it's starving for either fuel or air and when it does this my trip and odometer stops working can any help with I'm clueless

Reflections on COVID-19, capitalism, empire, and the worst year ever from the Hood Communist editorial staff. . . .
The surviving family and friends of the dead are constantly accosted by aesthetically pleasing merchandised images of the people violently abducted from their lives. In the hands of social media, and opportunists, this tradition becomes another installment of a Ford-assembly line-like process of transforming a murdered Black person into a ubiquitous trademarked symbol of social justice. . . .
By attributing fascism and the conditions of an overzealous militarized police force solely to Donald Trump, we ignore the trajectory of how we have arrived at a Trump presidency. Furthermore, an obsessive fixation on Trump and not the system, at large, makes us complicit in the work of encouraging fascism. . . .
The Black Hammer Instagram @BlackHammerOrg recently re-shared an Instagram video of an Only Fans model and sex worker named, Jose Sanchez. Check out his work on his Instagram @ThatRicanModel and onlyfans.com/borimodel. Sanchez recently had a viral video of him jacking off in front of a mirror, made Instagram safe because the video cropped out his dick. Once the post was made the #WhiteNoise and #WhiteTears arrived at our organization’s front door. Some haters made the allegation that this post was harmful to minors, which we couldn’t allow ourselves to be offended by. Since most minors on Instagram follow the likes . . .
As the days of the pandemic tick by, we are witnessing overwhelming evidence that the U.S. is using COVID-19 as an instrument to institute a capitalist dystopia. But this is no blockbuster Hollywood film. This is today’s new potential reality through the national security state apparatus. While there is no denying that people are suffering (and dying) from COVID-19 and neoliberal austerity, we must be acutely aware that the state’s reaction is not protecting us from the virus. Black Alliance For Peace coordinating committee member, Vanessa Beck, has maintained, “This crisis is a reminder that science has a social relationship . . .

The French Quarter is one of the oldest neighborhoods in New Orleans. The area has a rich history, including being the site where this US city’s first Catholic Mass was held.
Today, tourists flock to this neighborhood for its festivals and famous attractions such as Jackson Square and Café du Monde. Whether you’re vacationing or visiting this US destination with your family, friends, and a Sacramento escort, here are the best sides of the French Quarter in New Orleans:
Café Du Monde
The Café du Monde is open 24 hours a day and has been since 1862. It’s famous for its beignets, which are light, airy doughnuts covered in powdered sugar and served with coffee or chicory. The café also serves other pastries like croissants and bagels, but it’s all about those delicious beignets.
The historic building was built in 1794 as part of an old Spanish fort called Fort St. Louis de la Louisiane, later known as Fort San Carlos. In 1803 it became known as the Charity Hospital after being purchased by city officials. In 1834 the building was bought by French immigrants who turned it into a coffeehouse.
The French Market is a great place to get souvenirs and food. There are many places to eat there, such as Acme Oyster House and Beignets Bistreaux. The French Market is also excellent for people-watching, especially on weekends when musicians play music all day long. There are rides at Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, or you can see the alligators at Audubon Zoo’s Reptile House.
The Cabildo is a historic building on Jackson Square in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was originally built to serve as a courthouse for the Spanish Colonial government and later became the state offices of the United States after Louisiana became part of the country.
The building has been renovated many times since its construction in 1795. It now serves as an interpretive center and museum dedicated to preserving its history.
The Cabildo’s main attraction is its architecture. It is one of only two surviving examples of French colonial-style buildings in Louisiana, the other being another former courthouse called St. Louis Cathedral.
The building also has some fascinating history behind it. It was used by both Spanish colonists and American officials during their time in control over New Orleans. During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, water levels rose so high that they reached up through vents on top of this structure.
Creole Candy Company
The Creole Candy Company is a New Orleans institution and has been making sweet treats for nearly 100 years. The company was founded in 1918 by Marie-Louise Fortier, who came to America from France as a young girl with her parents.
In those days, she sold pralines from her home kitchen door. However, she soon opened up shop inside the French Market, where it still operates today, and her candy shop now has several locations in the town.
New Orleans is a great place to visit. There are so many things to do, and you can learn about the history of New Orleans when you visit the French Quarter.

This weekend I watched 500 Days of Summer.
Saturday’s viewing of this film was probably the 500th time I’ve seen it too… I have to be honest here, I’m a 500 Days of Summer geek. I know it well, too well. I know the words to each and every song as the film unfolds, I know what line is coming next, it’s all got a little out of hand.
I remember the first time I went to see this film at the cinema. For me, it was one of those rare times you watch a movie and feel so inspired by it that you want to write. I absolutely adored it, and still do.
It was a major inspiration to me when I wrote This is a Love Story, and as TIALS was the first novel I wrote, it brings about very fond memories.
There are so many reasons why I love this film, and here are some of them…
(***WARNING: May contain spoilers***)
1) The whimsical narrative: Richard McGonagle does a great job of saying sweet, simple, and beautiful things about Tom and Summer’s love story as it unfolds against the backdrop of some fabulous plinky plunky music. It’s so honest, well written, and gorgeously quirky. It just works. It’s always stuck in my mind as the kind of narrative voice that would work beautifully in fiction and a great example of the things you can learn while watching films and writing books.
2) Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt: She’s the non-committal, mixed-message giving, mesmerizingly beautiful heroine, he’s the good-looking, painfully shy, and totally adorable lead guy. They work so well together and I can’t imagine a better pairing for this movie. When Zooey and Joseph become Summer and Tom, they act out a story almost everyone can relate to. She’s everyone’s indie girl-crush, he’s so lovely you can’t help but feel she must be a little crazy, and you are desperate to find out how it ends.
3) The soundtrack: From Regina Spektor’s excitable and breathy ‘Us’ to ‘There Goes the Fear’ by Doves, the soundtrack oozes cool, and in my opinion the tracks couldn’t have been picked better for the film. The musical high for me is ‘You Make My Dreams’ by Hall and Oates, and THAT scene in the park (ohhh c’mon, everyone’s been so happy they’ve held a cartoon bluebird in their hand, right?).
4) The mystery: The film shows us enough about Summer to make her loveable and relatable, and yet we never really understand why she is how she is. It keeps you intrigued, while Tom is much more of a open book. The secrets she keeps are continually interesting. Why is she so hard to get close to? Why is she so unpredictable? Why can’t she see what she is doing to Tom?
5) It’s realistic: Tom has fallen in love with Summer. That’s the simple bit. But Summer is as easy to understand as a jigsaw puzzle with several pieces missing. So Tom does what most people do in his situation, he continually justifies it, despite fighting this inner gut feeling that something isn’t right. It’s so interesting how people do this, they hang on to any thread of positivity they can in the desperate hope that the outcome will be different. It’s common human behaviour, and it fascinates me.
6) The storytelling: 500 Days of Summer is played out in sections that don’t run in chronological order. You only know where you are at through the use of the numbered days in their love story. It’s a really cool way of unravelling a plot. There are hundreds of thousands of wonderful love stories out there, but I adored the style of this one.
7) The role reversal: This isn’t a movie about a neurotic woman crying into her cornflakes over an emotionally unavailable guy who doesn’t give a damn. This film turns all these all too common gender stereotypes upside down, and it’s refreshing. Despite all this, Tom isn’t left looking like an idiot. It’s well done, and it doesn’t make either gender look perpetually stupid. Yes, men do fall in love, and yes, men get upset and misread signals. It doesn’t just happen to women, and that’s absolutely ok.
8) It’s energising: Tom is consistently struggling with his suitcase full of broken dreams. A man who works in the greetings card industry who really wants to be doing something else. He’s clearly talented but it takes for something big to happen before he considers acting on it. Why leave it so long? It’s great to see the change in him, but it also prompts you to think about things you want to achieve and how things can get harder before they get better, and it’s inspiring.
9) The imagery: From Summer’s gorgeously decorated apartment to the places the pair hang out in during their dates, the film is loaded with lovely things to see. Ok, realistically, I don’t know how the characters could afford all the trappings of their beautiful homes given their circumstances, but it sure is inspiring to see. Warning. You may watch this film and have a strong desire to head to your local Ikea/Urban Outfitters/Zara Home and splash out on fabulous accessories.
10) Not all love stories work out as expected: Tom and Summer’s love story is unpredictable, but that’s ok because real life works like that sometimes. The romantic encounters that leave you temporarily suspended in grief and regret can be the ones that teach you the most, and this film encapsulates all that, and how there is always hope after heartbreak.
And there you have it, just some of the many reasons why 500 Days of Summer is one of my favourite films. If you haven’t watched it yet, you know what to do!

Pioneering progressive rock band Renaissance featuring Annie Haslam has announced its upcoming tour of the US Northeast in October and November 2017. Titled “Symphonic Journey,” the tour will feature four very special concerts with a 10-piece chamber orchestra, a handpicked ensemble of strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.

Plans are currently being made for the group to film the October 27th Keswick Theatre show for an upcoming DVD release that will follow the success of its 2015 London Union Chapel DVD. A crowd funding campaign has been started to raise the significant funds to produce the new live DVD.
“The band keeps getting stronger and stronger and the addition of the chamber orchestra will be the most exciting event for the band in years,” said Renaissance leader and singer Annie Haslam. “This addition of ‘live’ orchestral musicians will add an incredible dynamic to our big numbers like ‘Mother Russia,’ ‘Carpet of the Sun’ and ‘Song For All Seasons,’ all of which included an orchestra on the original recordings.”
Annie Haslam will be joined on stage by long time musical associate Rave Tesar on piano, together with Tom Brislin on keyboards, Mark Lambert on guitars, Frank Pagano on drums and percussion, and Leo Traversa on bass.

The leading winery of the Rueda appellation turns to innovation and reinvents itself in a challenging environment.
Cuatro Rayas has launched a new rebranding initiative reflecting the cooperative‘s recent history, while remaining true to its identity. The results build on existing packaging, with improvements to typography in a bid to nurture a global corporate identity.
The La Seca winery has selected a new and exclusive typography for its flagship Cuatro Rayas brand in its two varieties, Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc. For now, these are the only two products that will see modifications and will debut at the end of November 2012. This fresh new look reflects an aggressive commitment to drive innovation within the industry, while renewing the values of a brand that has become global and more creative.
The transformation strikes the core of Cuatro Rayas‘ identity. Orange replaces longstanding green as the primary color in our palette to symbolize our most emblematic Verdejo wine. Orange evokes change, joy, energy, and creativity, clearly descriptive of the values we wish to promote.
Our new Sauvignon Blanc will feature a new color scheme with black prominent on its label and capsule. Together with the label‘s appealing lines and etchings, this makes for an elegant packaging.

Is it possible to have everything
The diets of today can be difficult to stay on top of, but all of them seem to share one commonality, and that includes eliminating processed food. Today, these diets have also become more of a Way Of life, opposed to just a method for losing weight. Some of these include the I Quit Sugar and Paleo movements.
Regardless of our best intentions, not many people are able to commit or stick to a complete diet change, especially for people who enjoy dining out. Don’t become that person that is often heard asking, are you able to make this meal gluten free along with cheese that came from cows that were fed only grain in paddocks a mere 10 kilometers away.
We are sure you are starting to get the picture.
And in reality, there are just some foods which are classified as non-negotiable, especially the homemade varieties, the very stuff that our childhoods were made of. So, when it comes to this world that is filled with mixed messages which includes counting calories, eliminating or drastically reducing carbs, and bacon that causes cancer, is it possible to find that happy medium?
From the perspective of a dietician, it is in fact very possible, with the age old saying of “everything in moderation.” It may be an old saying, which is the common mantra of many dieticians and the saying they strongly believe is easy to live by. It all begins with finding that relationship that is healthy with food.
The DAA (Dietitians Association of Australia) states that healthy eating involves moderation, variety and balance.
When it comes to all or absolutely nothing, is it healthy to cut out an entire food group?
For many people a detox or health kick usually translates into eliminating all types of treats altogether. It may be to avoid those temptations or to assist in stopping these cravings forever.
It comes as no surprise that the DAA suggests avoiding diets which involve eliminating an entire food group, because it can result in starving the body of essential nutrients needed for health.
Keri Gans, a nutritionist from New York agrees with this. She also told Women’s Health magazine, she never tells her clients to cut out a whole food group, which is especially true when it comes to carbohydrates. This is the fuel for our bodies, while the brain uses glucose only to function, and it is carbohydrates that break-down into all important glucose.
Effective food tricks and tips
You are able to re-train the taste buds. This will take time, yet it is well worth it, when you make the switch healthy food that you start to enjoy.
Below are a couple of simple food tips that you can try:
- Chocolates- Start to swap sugar-filled chocolates with a dark chocolate. Or something that contains dried fruit, that will still taste sweet at around 75%. Start to increase the content of cocoa. The standard 90% dark chocolate contains only 6 grams of sugar for every 100 grams.
- Wheat: substitute wheat with spelt flour, which has a far lower gluten content and is easy to substitute into many recipes.
- Sugar- when in search of a way to lower your intake of processed food, take note of the synthetic sweeteners. The I Quit Sugar movement states that the sugar type you should eliminate or lower your intake includes fructose and using a glucose-based sweetener in baking is much healthier for you.
It is very important to be aware that any dramatic changes in your diet should never be undertaken without professional supervision. Check with your health professional or a GP for advice before you take any action.

Although rice is the staple food of Japan, eaten with almost every meal, the Japanese are no slouches when it comes to bread. Called pan in Japanese (from the Portuguese), Japan’s bread culture is quite interesting. Of course the “basic” type of bread is the normal sliced variety, called shoku-pan or “eating bread,” and I love how you have the option of buying a loaf with eight, six or four slices, depending on how thick you want your sandwiches or French toast to be. (Hope you like white bread, however, as other varieties are hard to come by.) Often what the Japanese call “bread” would qualify as a doughnut to Westerners, such as the famous Anpan, round bread with different types of sweet beans inside, or Melon Pan, essentially a large piece of sweetened bread that looks like a honeydew melon cut in half — or like a brain. One of my favorite types of Japanese pan is Curry Pan, fried bread with spicy curry inside, which is a great snack when you’re hungry between meals. The other day I went into a bakery and saw what I consider to be the pinnacle of food culture in the world: fresh-baked “Bacon Cheese France” which is French bread with bacon and Camembert cheese baked right inside it — oishii!
French bread with bacon baked inside? Back up the truck.

The recent outburst of aggressive behavior on the part of North Korea has created confusion in most parts of the world, but China is the nation that is most impacted by North Korean threats of nuclear or military confrontation. China has assumed a role as the policeman of eastern Asia, and has endeavored to work in a cooperative manner with the insular leaders of North Korea whose knowledge of the outside world is close to zero. China does not wish a nuclear race to emerge in Asia because at the center of Chinese foreign policy is a commitment to maintaining the status quo– in which China is at the center of power. China has been the leader of the six nations which have been attempting to work with North Korea and depending upon China to exert its influence.
Mot probably no one knows what is going on inside the mind of Kim Jong Il. Is there a power struggle? Is North Korea actually intending to initiate military aggression? Are its leaders filled with paranoid fantasies about being invaded? China, more than any nation, can not allow military action to occur on its border. At this point, hopefully China must assume leadership.

text: First let me start off by saying that I am a VERY new beginner with photography. The problem I'm having is that I take the pictures and then I edit them with photoshop elements. They turn out pretty good on the computer screen, but when I get the actual prints in the mail they are fuzzy. Not too fuzzy that they're worthless, but they just don't look "professional". Now, I'm not expecting much here because I really don't know all the tricks of the trade, but I don't know why there is such a difference between on-screen and on-paper. My pictures are on my blog if you want to see my work so far: www.amandarealphotography.blogspot.com I'm using a Canon xsi with only the kit lens so far. I use mpix for printing services. I am also using the highest megapixels my camera offers (12 I think). Please let me know if you have any advice or comments. Thanks! Oh! I also must add that I only use RAW files and then save that RAW file to a .tiff file to stop any loss that may occur after processing.

Creeping charlie is an ivy-like plant that grows in shaded areas. Throughout history, people have used creeping charlie's minty flavor in foods and teas. If you want to eat creeping charlie, wash the plants first to make sure you don't expose yourself to bacteria. Add them to dishes like salads and pastas or brew them in your tea. Make sure to keep safety in mind. Some people may have an allergic reaction to creeping charlie. If you notice an allergic reaction, seek medical help as soon as possible.
Method 1 of 3:Washing Creeping Charlie
1Submerge creeping charlie in a bowl of water. After bringing creeping charlie into your home, fill a bowl with cold water. Submerge your creeping charlie in the bowl, making sure the leaves are covered completely.
2Let the creeping charlie soak. Creeping charlie needs to soak until a layer of dirt has formed at the bottom of the bowl. Times will vary. A small amount of creeping charlie may be ready in a few minutes, while a larger amount may take longer.
3Remove your creeping charlie from the bowl. Use a net-like device to remove your creeping charlie from the water. Then, place your creeping charlie on a paper towel.
Remove creeping charlie from the water slowly and gently.
4Blot the leaves dry. Take a paper towel. Gently blot the leaves dry on both sides. Be gentle to avoid tearing the leaves. When you're done, your creeping charlie will be ready to eat.
Method 2 of 3:Consuming Creeping Charlie
1Eat creeping charlie like leafy greens. Creeping charlie can be eaten as a leafy green in a salad. Sprinkle creeping charlie on a salad to add a bit more flavor and nutrition. Creeping charlie contains vitamin C, so it's a great plant to add more vitamin C to your diet.
For example, if you made a salad for lunch, toss a handful of creeping charlie on top and mix it into the other leaves.
2Add creeping charlie to vegetable soups. If you're cooking a vegetable soup, throw in some creeping charlie while you're in the process of seasoning it. This will add some extra vitamins as well as added flavor. Creeping charlie has a minty flavor, so this can be a great addition if you want something with a mint taste.
3Use creeping charlie in omelets. Add a dash of creeping charlie to your omelet in the morning. Toss in the creeping charlie the way you would toss in other herbs, like basil. This will give your omelet a mild minty flavor.
4Make a salad dressing with creeping charlie. Toss creeping charlie in a blender with a dash of lemon juice. Blend until you have a liquid roughly the consistency of salad dressing, adding additional lemon juice as necessary. This makes for a nutritious minty dressing.
5Steep creeping charlie for tea. You can place creeping charlie in a tea infuser ball and let it steep in a cup of boiling water for about 10 minutes. This will leave you with a minty, refreshing cup of tea.
Method 3 of 3:Taking Safety Precautions
1Ensure proper identification. Not all plants you find outside are safe to eat. Before picking and using creeping charlie, make sure it's the right plant.
Creeping charlie always grows close to the ground, forming a mat-like cover on the grass or dirt.
Creeping charlie has longer stems with nodes on the end that will form into roots.
Creeping charlie has bright green kidney-shaped leaves with scalloped edges.
When in bloom, creeping charlie has blueish or purple flowers with five petals each.
2Watch out for an allergic reaction. Some people have an allergic reaction to creeping charlie. If you notice a swelling throat or labored breathing, go see a doctor immediately. Do not consume creeping charlie again.
3Keep creeping charlie away from horses. Some people grow creeping charlie to eat or harvest. If you do so, keep your plants away from horses. Horses may graze on creeping charlie and the plant is toxic to them.

The Singapore government, in partnership with the Healthy Promotion Board, has rolled out a number of initiatives over the past 20 years or so to improve the life and the health of Singapore citizens.
Today, Singapore enjoys some of the highest rankings as far as quality of living is concerned. A lot of that has to do with these kinds of programs. And while Singapore is certainly proud of the progress that they have been able to enjoy over the last decade or so, they continue to look for new ways to combat growing health issues in Singapore and globally that threaten the lives and success of their people.
Two major new initiatives have been designed and expanded in 2017 to help combat serious and significant health issues that are reaching an almost epidemic level worldwide. The Health Promotion Board has improved upon the Healthier Dining Program and the Healthier Ingredient Development Scheme in an effort to fight back against obesity and diabetes.
Both of these programs already enjoy a tremendous amount of success and buy-in from the people and businesses in Singapore, which is why they are receiving such a significant amount of expanded funding so that their programs can reach even more people in Singapore and (hopefully) globally.
The Healthier Dining Program helps individuals and organizations to make better choices when it comes to the meals that they prepare and share with their family, friends, and loved ones. A number of food outlets are encouraged to offer healthier options for the people of Singapore, with low calorie meals and food prepared with higher and ingredients and lower levels of sugar, salt, and fat.
Initially, 7.5 million people in 2014 were taking advantage of the Healthier Dining Program but that number has skyrocketed to 26 million as of March 2017. More than 1600 food and beverage outlets throughout Singapore (including restaurants, cafeterias, kiosks, caterers, and more) have bought into the program, and it’s leading to much healthier food options for the people of Singapore across the board.
On the Healthier Ingredient Development Scheme side of things, food manufacturers, restaurants, and caterers are encouraged to take advantage of higher quality and healthier ingredients in all of the foods that they prepare for public consumption.
The program encourages organizations to move towards brown rice or whole grains, take advantage of healthier sugars and cooking oils, and improve innovation when it comes to finding new ways to prepare favorite dishes of the people of Singapore that may not be helping them out in the health department without compromising cultural integrity or the overall flavor of these dishes.
This program is also being rapidly expanded, and already more than 30 ingredient suppliers are a big part of the Healthy Ingredient Development Scheme with twice as many expected to become part of this program by the end of 2025.
The health of Singapore has never been in a better place than it is right now, and thanks to the expansion of these two programs things are only going to get better!

In Sri Lanka it is important more than in most other countries to nip in the bud attempts at discrediting people just as a knee jerk reaction, just because one has some axe to grind against the individual.
I am also guilty of this sometimes, when I look back at some of my blog posts, but I have gone back and analyzed some of my writings and determined that it was more not about the individual concerned, but that the individual as taken conscious steps to besmirch the good name of the Country, and worse to fool and hoodwink the nation. SO when the reader may accuse me of being too harsh and am permanently attacking a person or a group of persons in my writing it is out of a considered stance and not just knee jerk about everything they do. It so happens that some people in my opinion are so vile, crafty and deft in their large scale cynical manipulation of the system to their advantage, that I can rarely find the time or reason to say a good word about them. I will surely commend and praise an act that I agree with or a ruling or comment that I concur with.
I try to be a person who speaks my mind and hold little back, and in that sense am too untactful to be a politician in Sri Lanka, where one has to always comply with people’s requests no matter how daft or unreasonable they may be. It is a difficult act as it invariably offends someone, and often my gesture is misinterpreted the wrong way and am accused of something I never intended, but has been misconstrued.
Coming back to the original point, there is a culture in this country to find fault first and only give grudging praise very miserly! People have a need to put others down for something they do. I was told recently, and I agree with that statement, that when people are working hard and doing a lot of things, one is more likely to encounter criticism, especially by people who do nothing and only make a lifetime of criticism. It is this group who I am primarily referring to in this entry.
I encounter this in politics more than in most other areas, that people who are seen to be working hard, getting noticed, gathering followers are disliked by competitors who are unable to draw the crowds or put up as good a show. It is important therefore that these good people who work hard are NOT disheartened by unfair criticism, but carry on with their work with greater zeal to show their critics that they are really committed to their cause and will not allow petty backstabbing armchair pundits, whose only joy is in the suffering of others, to unsettle a good idea, worthily implemented overcoming huge challenges and odds.

text: Ten years ago David Heavenor made his debut with the splendid album 'Private'. In spite of the fact that it was so good a tremendous album followed, David Heavenor remains fairly unknown in Belgium and The Netherlands. Scotland,however, regards this singer-songwriter as one of it's biggest talents of the moment. His second album 'Winters Children' contains cleverly modest rootsongs, which can be classified between the works of Al Stewart or Nick Drake. These songs are bubbling with melancholy, yet they bring joy as well. They immediately stick in the mind, yet they´ll not cease to surprise you. David Heavenor and his guitar form a special entity. He is a master performer who uses various moods paying little heed to any of the laws of music. He manages to find the perfect balance between voice and instrument. Piano, bass, percussion, acoustic guitar and the backup vocals of Steven Butler (Heavenor´s producer) complete the songs on Winters Children. The discreet accompaniment enhances the melancholic character of the songs. While Private (1993), with frequent performances from Simon Jaquet, might be known as his best album, Winters Children certainly is his most impressive one. Once again David Heavenor has proven to be unique! Rootstime Radio Belgium.


The other week brought great news as Duck Hunt will be arriving on the Wii U Virtual Console on Christmas Day. Blogger NintenDaan couldn’t wait that long and downloaded the Wii U Virtual Console release on the Japanese Wii U eShop. As you can see not a whole lot has changed but it’s still an iconic release.
Can you still control that duck? that’s all that’s important
While the wiimote isn’t a light gun, it could mimic the behavior of a light gun simply by letting you aim at the center of the screen to calibrate it and then removing the reticle. I think the house of the dead game on wii did something like that. The reticle really ruins the virtual console version.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I won’t be buying unless you can turn the reticle off. That was part of the challenge of the original.
how long does it take to load 0_0
The fun of Duck Hunt was in aiming, right? This looks like you always see a reticle on the screen. That’s sort of a drag.
I feel like adding the thing to show where you’re pointed at is necessary, but it takes most of the difficulty out of the game. I’ve played the original Duck Hunt, and that was definitely the majority of it: you didn’t have something showing if you were exactly right or not, you just had to aim and hope.
This fps is better then cod bf halo and destiny
Wow this a stupid comment.
The wiimote is not a light gun its a tracking device.
Yeah, it does look they’ve made it pretty easy by adding the reticule. Not much they could do perhaps – the Wiimote simply isn’t a light gun.
There are plenty of games that use the wiimote to aim but don’t use a reticle. The reticle is just an added graphic. This comment doesn’t make sense.
Why did it take so long to load…

Alex Mowatt led a spirited fightback as Garry Monk jumped out of the frying pan and into the friar at the Abbey.
Greasier than a full English breakfast, conditions were ripe for an upset in the spiritual home of University Challenge – but after a supine first half from Leeds, Mowatt went to the top of the class.
Fingers on buzzers, no conferring, here's your starter. When was the last time Leeds made any headway in the FA Cup?
Yes, that's right – it was back in 1987 that they last reached the semi-finals.
And for your bonus marks: How many managers have they gone through since Billy Bremner's side lost 3-2 against Coventry with their fans penned like sheep in the dangerously overcrowded Leppings Lane end at Hillsborough?
Answer: Seventeen. But Monk, the seventh Leeds manager in four years since Massimo Cellino brought his tombola to Yorkshire, can be well-satisfied with their second-half revival at the Cambs Glass stadium, as the naming rights police call it now.
Monk made eight changes with both eyes on Friday night's Championship promotion duel with Derby, where he will be without influential defender Pontus Jansson after the Swede's yellow card here.
What a farce that Leeds should play two games in five days, neither of them at the weekend.
And what a farce that they should have known their reward for reaching the fourth round was a trip to AFC Wimbledon or Sutton United before the third round had even been completed.
Before Leeds could think of booking Dickie Guy and Peter Lorimer to re-enact the Dons keeper's famous FA Cup penalty save 42 years ago, however, there was the small matter of Shaun Derry setting a booby-trap for his old club across the Fens.
Uche Ikpeazu, a battering-ram striker but more raw than steak tartare, tested Marco Silvestre's reflexes after bulldozing his way through as Derry's League Two bounty hunters made a lively start.
Farmed out on loan to four clubs without kicking a ball in anger for Watford, Ikpeazu played like a man possessed, and after 25 minutes he added a cutting edge to his brute force.
Luke Berry's free-kick was blocked, but Ikpeazu spun off the wall and drilled his eighth goal of the season, grazing Silvestre's near post on its way in.
Unsettled by a rash of first-half yellow cards, including Jansson's, Leeds weaved nice patterns and were pretty to watch – but so is a pair of Laura Ashley curtains.
It took them until five minutes before the break to test Cambridge keeper Will Norris, who tipped Mowatt's dipping 25-yarder to safety and blocked Liam Cooper's header from the resulting corner with his legs.
But 11 minutes after he restart, with Monk's side showing more purpose, they were level as Mowatt's pitching-wedge cross to the far post was headed home by Stuart Dallas.
It took just eight minutes for Leeds to turn the tie on its head as Mowatt flicked Jansson's header beyond Norris at point-blank range.
And Leeds' only moment of anxiety, as they held on comfortably, was Silvestre spilling Piero Mingoia's shot like the proverbial bar of soap.

The songs on this recording are probably ones that you’ve never heard before, and they are sung un-accompanied in a style quite different from that which we are most accustomed to hearing in singing. Yet David Ingerson has put together a wonderful collection of songs – really stories – sung in the traditional Irish, or sean-nós, style. For the uninitiated this is an introduction to a different style of folk music. And for those acquainted with this style, a source of mostly-undiscovered material. Altogether a very pleasant listening experience.
Sean-nós is a term, meaning ‘in the old style,’ used mostly by non-Irish to describe what the Irish simply consider as a traditional type of singing. Its emphasis is on telling a story rather than singing in an artful musical manner. Songs are usually sung with a free rhythm and without much emotion in phrasing or dynamics (changes in volume). However it is not a single style, but varies among many Irish singers. The melodies can be simple to very lyrical, and emotion is often conveyed by vocal ornamentation.
Most of the songs on this recording were learned by Ingerson directly from native Irish singers, in the oral tradition rather than from song books or recordings. He begins with The Highwayman Outwitted, a story of how a cunning highwayman is outwitted by a simple farm hand; it ends with an understated punch line. This is followed by Paddy’s Panacea, a humorous song of word play and internal rhyming in the classic Irish tradition, and a repeated chorus joined in by other singers. You can hear these two songs and another one from the CD on Soundcloud.
Other songs are more sentimental, whimsical, tragic, about love, drink, rebellions, immigration and lamentation. The songs are in English except for two, which are sung in the Irish language, and one in a combination of English and Irish. None of the songs are younger than 100-years old and several are in the 200-year range; none are commonly recorded. They represent a treasure trove of mostly undiscovered song material.
Ingerson sings with a pleasant voice and good enunciation; the lyrics are well understood. The CD is accompanied by a 22-page booklet containing lyrics and comments about each song; that alone is worth the price of the CD. This CD is praised by Lillis ó Laoire, winner of the corn ui ríada (cup of the Irish national singing competition): “Great singing, David, very mature and assured in style and realization. Great choice of songs and very fluid and comprehensible Irish. Singing in the diaspora is alive and well. May it continue to prosper.” David has been singing these traditional Irish songs for over 35 years, collecting, researching and performing.
For the uninitiated, this is a good introduction into the art of sean-nós singing. For those familiar with this art form, it is a wonderful source of song material and a good example of Irish singing style. Highly recommended.

Blazing fields of Punjab not only cause pollution in the neighboring states but have also got the attention of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) based in United States of America.NASA has released pictures from parts of Pakistan and India in which burning of paddy straw could be clearly seen. Many farmers in Punjab burn the stubble after harvesting causing severe pollution in Haryana and Delhi. Smoke released due to burning is carried to these states by high velocity winds.
NASA in a recent study has stated “India and Pakistan have two main growing seasons—one from May to September and another from November to April. In November, farmers typically sow crops such as wheat and vegetables; but before they do that farmers often set fire to fields to clear them for planting”.The space agency has noted that the fire in fields in Punjab were clearly visible from space. NASA has deployed Suomi NPP satellite to study the impact of paddy straw burning.
NASA has further stated in the study, “Since it is early October, farmers are most likely clearing those fields with fire when the Suomi NPP satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument captured this image on October 04, 2017. Actively burning areas, detected by VIIRS are outlined in red. When they are accompanied by smoke, as in this image, they are indicative of fire”.Stubble burning is a relatively new phenomenon. Historically, farmers harvested and plowed fields manually, tilling plant debris back into the soil. When mechanized harvesting using combines became popular in the 1980s, burning became common because the machines leave stalks that are about one-foot tall. Burning the stalks is the quickest and cheapest way to clear them.
For the past three years NASA satellites began to detect large numbers of active fires in mid-October. Normally extensive agricultural burning lasts for about three weeks. Although most of the haze appears to originate from the agricultural fires, other factors such as urban and industrial smog may also be contributing.Recently Supreme Court had issued a ban on cracker bursting till November 1 in New Delhi and NCR area of the country.

Style itz a great gift from bajaj especially for the students..And also for office workers. Starting from the headlight it can focus nearly about 250n to 300 mtrs clearly same as that of hunk.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox comming over to the engine performance. If ridden within the city beyond 50km/hr then no problem but if driven on highways. Above 60km/hr. With single or dual persons a kind. Resistance wil b felt..And after riding it for continuosly for about 45 t0 50km a kind of tiredness from the bike is felt...And the intrest of riding the bike will decrease.
Fuel econonmy is awsome, it gives around 65km/litre. If driven between 40 to 60km/hr, dere alwys a proble in shifting gears especially while shifting it up.
Ride quality & handling riding quality suks after 30 to 40 kms. And frequent servising is needed say about in everry. 4000Kms..Or else..The mileage, goes down.
Final words if you love taking ur bikes long drives say 60 to 70 km in a day...Den dont go for it. U wil regret. Otherwise itz an masterpeice within city limits. And plz...Try to overcome the saying...That bajaj bikes dont have resale values.
Areas of improvement do improve the engine quality i mean make it more rigid for long drives the bike is a bit light. Make it a bit heavy. So that it sustains at higher speed and the chain spoket needs improvement.

More than a quarter of children in England aged between 2 and 10
are overweight, official statistics published last week reveal.
Between 1995 and 2003, the proportion of children in this age
group who were classed as overweight rose from 22.7 per cent to
27.7 per cent. Almost half of these were clinically obese.
Increases were most significant among children aged between 8
and 10, where obesity levels rose from 11.2 per cent to 16.5 per
cent over the same time period.
Although the 2003 figures represent a slight fall compared with
estimates for 2002, the drop is too small to conclude whether a
corner has really been turned.
The government has set itself a target of halting the
year-on-year increase in obesity among children under 11 by


Like its "little brother" OmniaTap, the OmniaLab draws off ultra pure water type ASTM I at 2 l/min.
The OmniaLab is distinctly more powerful with pure water type ASTM II, where the pure water output is up to 80 l/h. Furthermore, OmniaLab continually stores up to 100 litres of pure water type ASTM II in the storage tank ready for draw-off. The flexible positioning of the purifying modules enables OmniaLab to be used as a mobile tower unit on castors, or place-savingly stowed away in a laboratory base cabinet.
OmniaLab is ideal as supplier to autoclaves, blood analysis equipment or laboratory washing machines. The alternative that it offers fulfils demanding applications in scientific analysis and biology.

Eli Manning Memorabilia Fraud Case Settled
(Hackensack, NJ) — Football fans might never know if Eli Manning signed off on bogus game-worn helmets. A settlement has been reached but terms not disclosed in the case of three sports collectors who sued the Giants star quarterback for memorabilia fraud. The collectors claim they paid thousands of dollars for helmets Manning wore in games but that the helmets they got were never used in games.

There is no better sports article than this one. It was written by our friend and friend to friend, the great Dan Patrick, and it is absolutely worth reading.
It’s long, but the key points are that the league is better than ever, the sport is exciting, and the players are the best. This article also gives some nice insight into the league’s structure, which in many ways parallels the NFL itself.
Even if you don’t have a favorite sports team, there is still time for the team to grow. We have some great picks for you, and you should check them out.
Most of these players are not much more talented than the average player, but the real talent in these games is still there and not that many of them do anything that will make them a player in their own right. It is a perfect match for the NFL.
The greatest sports teams in NFL history are still around and are still winning, so it is a great honor to be able to watch these teams play. However, some of these teams are really good, but they are at the same time not that good. They seem to be on a level that is never really anywhere near the level of the best teams, which is not to say that they are not good players.
The main thing that makes these teams fail is the players who are still around. It’s so hard to get a good player to play in the NFL, but I find that to be very useful.
In my opinion, the best NFL players are never really around. They are the players who are still around who are still making an impact on the game and the sport. As soon as they are gone from the scene, the game loses its essence and the sport suffers.
It’s hard to describe the experience of the best player to someone from a very specific team. It’s hard to describe the experience of the worst player to someone from the same team. But I can say that there are a lot of great players who have made great plays in the past.
We’ve just finished reading the best American Sports Writing of the year. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be reading all of these and knowing that you are reading about the best in the world. Its a great story to tell about why the New York Giants won the Super Bowl. Its a great story to tell about the Atlanta Falcons. Its a great story to tell about the Seattle Seahawks.
It’s one of the best baseball books that has ever been written (and you should read it). It goes into much more detail about the history of the NFL and the history of the league. I know some of you may be wondering why it is so important to say that, but I think it’s important to say it because it helps people understand and appreciate the history and the history of the professional sports.

Geither told a House panel that the plan won't call for the government-backed mortgage lenders to be abolished, but that they will need to curb their risk taking.
The remarks come as the federal government looks at possible ways to overhaul the firms. The federal government took over the companies more than 18 months ago during the height of the housing crisis. More than $125 billion in emergency federal aid has been invested into the firms by Treasury to cover their losses.
Republicans have pushed for privatizing the firms while Democrats have urged caution on making changes while the housing market is still in flux. Sales of existing homes fell for the third straight month February, the National Realtors Association announced today.

The Best Fake Movies in Lake
Whitethorn Games' scenic search for hometown peace contains some delightful 80's references in the form of a local video rental store.
I didn’t completely expect to see such overt references to the culture of the 1980s in Lake, available now on Game Pass (and wherever games are sold, of course). As you navigate Meridith Weiss through her sabbatical away from work and along the postal route of her hometown, there are undoubtedly moments and set dressings that indicate the decade.
Her job as an early-era computer programmer aside, I didn't think that there would be much else in the way of references to the 80s. That was until I encountered Angie at The Flick Shack, a wonderful little VHS rental store that is covered with bins and shelves bursting with what amounts to movie parodies.
If you look past the incredibly interesting romance storyline you can begin with Angie (which you absolutely should), the tapes on the walls are full of funny references in their own right. A few real-world movies are actually represented, but the real find is in the caricatures of popular movies we know and love. Here's a list of the best ones you'll find in Lake:
starring Bill Curry, Danny Aykloydo, and Sigmund Weavel
What are the implications here? Blasting is a much more clear and direct form of destruction than busting, so surely this "supernatural spectacle" will feature more violence than the real-life iteration.
Or perhaps there's a more humane aspect to all of this. The ghost on this poster isn't encased within a general prohibition sign, so maybe the goal in this film isn't to eradicate the specters at all?
starring Jennifer Swell
What if instead of overcoming her station in life as a welder who longed to dance, the main character broke her leg and never got to achieve her dreams? The possibility of an even more emotional story of failure and acceptance is skewered by the poster, which just leaves us imagining the most famous dance scenes of the original movie featuring a massive, unruly leg cast.
The Good, The Bad, and The Duck Feet
starring Clint Peckwood
If you really think about it, this one doesn't make much sense. Clint Eastwood's character was "The Good", which would make Eli Wallach's Tuco the one with duck feet in this parody.
Semantics aside, there's something to be said about the idea of a man/duck hybrid creature searching for lost Confederate gold. What would he even buy with them? Do his legs also resemble duck legs, or is it just everything below the ankles?
What if instead of standing up for truth, justice, and the American Way, Clark Kent just kinda didn't care? And what if that was his whole schtick? To be honest, Mehman could have even been a Silver Age comic book character, if only for a one-off bit.
The flying shrug is a great visual and funny take on the real Superman II movie poster. It's a fun twist on a well-known cultural image.
"Where everything seems thinkable and nothing is what you think."
Certainly, The Labyrinth has evolved past simple cult status and become a cultural touchstone. Notably, a labyrinth is traditionally defined by scholars as one singular path from beginning to end with no branching paths, contrasted with a maze that features many confusing routes and patterns.
While Jim Henson's The Labyrinth actually featured a maze, perhaps The Maze actually features a labyrinth and is much more straightforward than the real movie we received. One can't help but wonder, is there a two-door riddle in this film, too?
The VHS boxes in Lake are really well done, and Sonja van Vuure did a great job with them. The rest of the game looks fantastic as well, and really nails the vibes of a small lake town in the middle of the woods. The whole team at Gamious did spectacular work on the title and should be proud of the product that they released.
Lake is available on Xbox and PC (and it's on Game Pass for both!).
