Just a little treat to beg your forgiveness in advance. As you may or may not know, I'm based in Washington, DC and the situation here is currently very stressful and I'm afraid I don't have much mental energy left over to spend on being entertaining or writing about much of anything. Hopefully everything will be resolved soon but in the meantime, please forgive my absence until this budget crisis passes. And, Americans, please spare a thought for the hundreds of thousands of hard-working civil servants caught in the middle of this mess.
At least the only thing at the theater this weekend was Chennai Express so... no worries about me missing that.

Curly, wurly Friday post! I should wear my hair down today, hmm...
When I was speaking to Bollywood Funk's Ayesha Khanna about some of the ignorant and misguided online comments about our new Miss America, she said that Bollywood sends the opposite message. "I think Bollywood is very open and that's how the world should see it," she told me. "Anybody can be a part of it. We welcome everyone."
Um... I don't know how to phrase this without sounding combative but I wish they had phrased this better: Bollywood doesn't welcome everyone; Bollywood dancercize classes can and do welcome everyone.

Thursday Post: FG puts on her Jagga T-shirt and Jagga backback with a Jagga notebook inside and some Jagga-braded cool drinks and snack bars and watches Jagga spin-off videos on her Jagga phone and... and...
I'd also enjoy writing a review that could talk more about the plot than the first time around. I do try not to give too many plot spoilers in my reviews and for the most part, if I'm talking about a new release, you can feel safe reading my reviews unless I specify otherwise.
PS Is there any interest in photos from the Besharam press meet in New York? I received some but will only post if you're interested.

Wednesday Post: The Oops! Ranveer Singh's shirt fell off edition.
Since last night I've been convinced that the real reason Kashyap & Johar and their cohorts have been kicking up such a fuss is to raise the box office collections for The Lunchbox. Consider -- the film opened to lackluster collections on Friday, but since the announcement about The Good Road selection and all the "protests", its collections nearly doubled the next day. Great publicity to get the film into the public's consciousness. :)
Oh ho ho! Good point!

Tuesday Gossip: BUT MAAA! I DIDN'T WANT THIS IN MY LUNCHBOX! Why can't I have Lunchables like the other kids?!
It's almost enough to make me think that the FFI has pulled off A DELIBERATE AND EPIC bit of trolling of the Corporate "Indie" Bollywood establishment--a real frying pan to the face, so to speak.

Monday Post: Welcome back, drama!
*still as cool as ever*
Jenn is one of the smartest and most dedicated people I know. If you're at all interested in literacy or education, you should check out her blog or the blog posts of her ESL students, one of whom was featured in a documentary about little Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban for trying to get an education. These kids have a lot of truth to tell and it's quite moving reading their statements.

Phata Poster Nikhla Hero: Delightful, delightful, delightful.
I'm not sure what was in the Kool-Aid served up to Bollywood's finest movie critics but I'm very glad I didn't listen to their moaning. Take note: Phata Poster Nikhla Hero is delightful, as is the titular Hero, Shahid Kapoor. The feel is closer in tone to Khiladi 786 than Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani; it's a comedy first and foremost but with a nice strain of family drama and some fun out-and-out action. This is masala in the old-fashioned definition of the word--there is something for everybody, from kids to grannies.
Going up the country... for brunch!
Hey, friends! I hate to do this to you but Phata Poster review will come later tonight. It's only about half written at the moment but I'm meeting some out-of-town friends for brunch and can't be late. Although I've drifted (more or less) over to Desi Standard Time the last few years, my friends are pretty punctual, so off I go! ♥
I said this on Twitter last night but if you're wavering between seeing and not seeing Phata Poster I would definitely recommend going if any of the following apply to you:
1. You even mildly enjoy Shahid Kapoor.
2. You enjoy clean but funny comedies.
3. You like maa-centered family drama.
Because--don't get me wrong--Ileana does a fine job here but the real love story is between mother and son. A very refreshing change from the usual Romantic Love Is The Purpose Of Life sop we're fed. ♥

Saturday Post: Of lunchboxes and more important things.
I woke up this morning and--at least on my Twitter timeline--you'd have thought the Film Federation of India had personally taken a dump in every former PFC-er's tiffin because the butthurt was flying fast and furious over Gujarati film The Good Road being selected as India's entry to the Oscars instead of... The Lunch Box.
Now, you know me, I had zero interest in this film before all the hype and even less interest now that the hype has reached hysterical levels. Negative interest. While there is nothing inherently wrong with making a small, self-contained, film about a romance between a housewife and an office worker, I do think it's ridiculous to slather on the praise so thick--unless I'm seriously missing something and the housewife ends up going all Second Wave on the menfolks and starting her own lunchcart business? Or going all Fire and running off with her daughter-in-law to have a torrid love affair in Goa or something?
Because otherwise, my interest in The Lunchbox extends about as far as this Faking News article: Housewives Request Dabbawalas to Commit More Mistakes.
Frustrated and angered by their illogical demands, Ghule Bhau is reported to have told the women to ask their husbands to shave off mustaches and buy sunglasses, and they will have Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi right at their doorsteps.
Come on, PFC-ers, The Good Road has Sonali Kulkarni in it and she's awesome. So deal with it.

Friday Post: Kuuu-ku-kuuu!
Speaking of actors who often select dicey projects, I'm kind of amused at the handful of reviews I skimmed for Phata Poster Nikla Hero which say that Shahid and Ileana don't have Ranbir and Kat's chemistry from Ajab Prem because I remember all the same critics trashing that one when it came out, too. (Something Google confirms if you feel like trolling through old reviews.) I liked Ajab Prem a lot; I like Shahid a lot; ergo if Phata Poster is like Ajab Prem but starring Shahid instead of Ranbir, I'll probably enjoy it.
Ah~ I remember when I really liked ol' Ganglu...
Vivek Oberoi joins the list of stars with tax troubles.

Thursday Post: BUT I WANT TO SEE SHAHID NOW! *cry*
"I am not 45. I am not at that stage where people have seen 20 years of my work. So I feel it is important to keep presenting yourself to the audience. There will be times they will like you; there will be times they will not like the film. I have learned over 10 years that films will come and go, but people must like you. And therefore your performances must be consistent," said Kapoor.
Good luck, Shahid! I like you even when I don't like your films--but usually I like your films, too. Even the ones everybody else hated. I stand by both Mausam and Chance Pe Dance, damn it!
The other film playing is... Ya Ya! I saw the trailer for this a while ago in the theater and it looks good!
But definitely one I would need subtitles for. I love Santhanam's comedy! ♥

Wednesday Post... not too much news of interest today. Dilip Kumar is still in hospital... :(
There is nothing wrong with that--let me emphasize again, no negative judgement implied--but there's no point in me caring about Poonam Pandey and Gauher Khan when I have much easier access to (and to be honest, more cultural investment in) in Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyruse and Demi Lavato. AKA The stuff whose main value is for me to have something to make small talk about with people in my day-to-day life. I do understand the value of having an Imran Khan to gossip about--as somebody who moved back to America as a teenager and had to teach herself American culture in order to fit it, believe me I do understand the value there.
Anyways, there are still lovely films being made that are for people watching films like I watch films and I am overjoyed at the Ram-Leela trailer! And really looking forward to Shahid's upcoming films and Akshay's and Dhoom 3 and anything Rakesh Roshan puts his hands on. But I'll be honest, as somebody with a love for stories AND songs, I do miss the richer musical palate of the older films, the way the emotions were deepened through music. Filmi-Contrast opened up a question on a previous post but I don't think too many people follow old comments chains so I'll re-post here:
I still feel like it is rare to see the type of plaintive individual lament made famous by Mahudbala in M-e-A: "Mohabbat ki Jhooti Kahani." Or the poignant rebuke/lament, like "Jab Bhi Jee Chahe" from Chopra's Daag (1973). Whether or not it was ever a common type of musical expression in any decade, I wish we had more of it! Does anyone have any thoughts/examples on where the individual lament songs are in films today/recent years?
I feel like mostly these types of songs--if used at all--are done as montages:
And... I do miss seeing the characters actually SING their feelings. It feels more immediate and intimate and, yes, "real" to see them singing versus the audience just observing the action, you know? But maybe I'm just old-fashioned. And I know John Abraham would say I'm trying to hold Indian cinema back from competing with the West but I would politely disagree with Johnny and say there is value in using songs in a narrative in the unique Hindi cinema way and who cares what some Hollywood critics think.
(Unless Johnny is just angling to elbow his way onto the cushy Irrfan Khan international film festival press junket circuit and then more power to him. I bet Irrfan gets some SWEET goody bags and other swag. Hollywood does have cash and is appears to be more than happy to throw it around.)

Tuesday Post... oh, you copyrighted that? T...y Post. No? T...T
But her talent was... dancing to "Dhoom Taana!"
Incredible! I guess Bollywood is really going mainstream in America, too!! Just wait until Miley Cyrus gets her hands on some Mumaith Khan numbers...
Regular readers can skip this but for anybody just Googling around for more information about Nina Davuluri and her "Indian Classical-Bollywood Fusion Dance" who's landed on this page--the original song is from a movie called Om Shanti Om and you can watch it here. No, that's not what all Bollywood movies are like. Om Shanti Om is a deliberately campy film but if you've never seen anything Bollywood before, it's not a terrible place to start. You'll be dazzled even if you don't get all the jokes.
For films available on Netflix Instant, I'd check out Jab We Met (romantic comedy featuring a very likable lead couple) and Lagaan (historical-sports-political drama that was an Oscar finalist). There are other good ones, too, but I'm not sure if the charms of a Tashan or Vettai (actually a Tamil language film) would be apparent to somebody not used to the style.
People interested in more typical mainstream "foreign films" from India that aren't uber-depressing slum dramas should check out Peepli Live and Kahaani--both on Netflix Instant.
If you like them, come back and tell me and we'll talk!

Context: Do you have it?
Last night I stumbled across a new addition to the Criterion Collection on Hulu: the Japanese film Fall Guy (1982). By happy coincidence it happened to be based on a play by the playwright I've been researching--Tsuka Kouhei (つかこうへい), who seems to be a Neil Simon-y type figure. Even with my library access, it's been difficult to find anything out since very little seems to have been written on him in English and Japanese language books aren't exactly easy to come by. But my difficulties in geeking out on research are neither here nor there; the reason I bring this up is that the film got me thinking about context.
Sunday Post: Short and sweet.
And Irrfan Khan--at least in the West. I'm already fed up with "Oscar Buzz" around The Lunchbox and it's still September!

Saturday Post: GOOD MORNING TO YOU!
Sorry for missing yesterday's post--it was entirely unintentional. I woke up feeling very poorly... but today is a bright and shiny new day! And there is just a touch of fall in the air. I love the autumn, don't you?
For many here in America, though, autumn means AMERICAN FOOTBALL--a game for the life of me I've never been able to muster any interest in. (WHY DOES 60 seconds of play last half an hour?? WHY?!) But apparently the NFL is attempting to drum up international interest in their product by hiring a celeb trying to drum up American interest in her assets. Yup, Madame Piggy tossing around the ol' pigskin. And they are welcome to her--in fact, I'd be thrilled if Piggy fully crossed over to Hollywood so I never had to see her again!
Hey, Hollywood, how about a Katherine Heigel x Priyanka Chopra two heroine rom-com I never have to see!!

I woke up a little late today so.... have some pictures of lovely Parineeti in Toronto.

Friday Post: Happy birthday to my sis!!
That does not seem to be the case for Zanjeer, however, where reviews seem united on two points:
1. It's kind of boring.
2. Piggy is annoying as fuck.
From the first linked review: Priyanka Chopra as Mala seems to be trying too hard to be bubbly and be the comic relief in the movie.
If there were words that could keep me away from a movie theater besides "starring Shahrukh Khan" those are them.
(Speaking of: oops.)
SO... Riddick this weekend? Yes/Yes? Hands up who loves Vin Diesel! Two hands up who loves Katee Sackhoff! (ME!) Dear lord, if there were an article designed to get me into the theater...

Tuesday Post: More tasty than a mouth full of chipped polish?
You'd think the svelte girl in harem pants and sparkles, baring her belly button in a Hindi film song is the item, but Fakhri is about as comfortable in Dhating Naach as Queen Elizabeth II in Glastonbury. She can't swivel her hips, she's about as flexible as a ballpoint pen refill, her dhak-dhak makes you want to duck-duck-go for the ageing Malaika Arora Khan. Plus, it looks like the wardrobe guys basically flung different pieces of costume jewellery at her. Whatever was caught by the material is there, dangling apologetically. And maybe some of you are turned on by the sight of a woman biting a massive, fake nail. Me, I'm wondering is how much chipped nail polish is in her mouth.

Sajid Khan's Himmatwala: NOT the worst movie ever made
Sajid Khan is notorious for giving precisely zero fucks about critical attention but I do hope that it would warm his heart a little that I was inspired to finally watch Himmatwala because Ajay Devgn has been going around town trashing it:
I think it will be critical to my director. But I think 80s were shown and shot like 80s while when we did Once Upon A Time in Mumbai we had shown 70s and 80s in a contemporary manner. So I think that's what did not work very well for the film.
Obviously this caught my attention as a masala fan because, when you untangle the syntax, Ajay is saying is that Himmatwala didn't work because it was a film in the style of the films of the 1980s instead of a film made in the style of today and taking place in the 1980s. Everybody who's been reading me for more than minute knows my disappointment with the way middlebrow Bollywood has been rapidly lurching towards the tired filmmaking conventions of its Los Angeles based counterpart, if Himmatwala was a throwback to the good old days, it was clearly my duty to do my best to rescue its reputation from the Passion for Cinema crowd.
But here's the thing--Ajay is right but not for the reasons he thinks he is. It's not the old style of masala filmmaking that failed but the stale contents.
Monday Post: HAPPY LABOR DAY (In America!)
Here are two work place songs that came to mind immediately:
Construction site qawwali from the great Roti Kapada aur Makaan...
And a food cart song from Vastaav: The Rising.
I've always been fond of these kinds of "real life" songs--maybe it's just me but sometimes I like to imagine a song starting up in my own life. Of course, being a librarian, it would probably be something more like this:
But recently I keep imagining that my new favorite group A.B.C-Z is going to burst around a corner with one of their brilliant one camera-no cut performances:
It's the magic of show business!!! Taking our mundane surroundings--library, food cart, construction site, office hallway--and adding a bit of razzle dazzle. I carry the memory with me into the day. What's wrong with adding some sparkle to mundane surroundings? Who says "realism" is always best? (And what's "real," anyways?)

The von D—ring/Doering Family
Prepared and researched by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewski
A special thanks to John Rohde of the UK and Klaus Liwowsky of Germany for providing me with the armorial information.
The above coat of arms represents: A dove with a ring in his mouth ("dove-ring")
In heraldic terms: "on a sable field, upon a green hill proper, showing the furrow of the plow is a bird of unknown type (but looks to be morning dove), facing dexter; holding a ring in its beak. To which the helmet has a crest coronet, upon which stands a bird of the same type as the shield. The mantling is azure/blue-lined with argent (silver or white).
This coat of arms is found on a Luneberg Church link. It was assigned to the patrician (upper class) family of von Doring. This family lived in the Luneberg area until the 18th century. Luneberg was located in Hanover, Germany (see link below).
The symbol of the Grail Knights was the turtle-dove, and this was an accepted symbol for the Holy Ghost. In Matthew 3:16: "The Spirit of God descendin like a dove."
This coat of arms was granted in September 27, 1630, on the same date as the Saxon/Prussian (nobility of the Holy Roman Empire) version of this arms, both feature a lion. The difference is that the Prussian lion is gold. The lion is also the symbol of Thuringia.
The version above is a silver (argent = white) lion on
a gules/red shield (l'ecu).
Its crest displays a lion on a supportant with a circular screen on top. The shield is a circular screen decorated with three plumes. Each of the three plumes alternate between silver (argent=white) and gules (red). On the helmet, the supportant is also striped with argent and gules and is located on the top of the helm. These are components are atop the helm as a headdress (Riestrap, J.B. Armorial General. Vol. 1 A-K, Baltimore: Clearfield Company, Inc. 2003 (reprint), p. 555).
In 1580, there is a listing for the coat of arms of a Lucas and David Doring. This was recorded on Augusat 17, 1580, in Prague, Bohemia (later Czech Republic).
Von D—ering seems to have its roots in Thuringia, located between Hessen and Lower Saxony in the west and Saxony in the east. This area was originally the kingdom of the Germanic Hermunderen, the area which was conquered by the Franks and the Saxons in 531 A.D. In the 11th century, the Ludowinger dynasty ruled Thuringia. The castle Wartburg was built in Thuringia, in 1067, by Landgrave Ludwig the Springer. Ludwig's wife was Saint Elizabeth. Elizabeth was the daughter of the Hungarian king. She was said to host the medieval singing contests, for which this area is famous. Poetry, you must remember, began as singing, so these contests were frequented by troubadors. In their early history those of the name von Doering held a status and influence that rivalled the landed aristocracy. Many of their family were elevated to nobility, as they gave service to the Church, were politics, and achieved economic wealth. One of the first recorded of this name was Dietric von Duering of Bremen, in 1140.
According to Sl~ownik Nazwisk there are approximately 527 people with the name Doering in Poland:
Here are some examples of the variations that have ocurred in the spelling of this name: Duering, During, Dueringe, Dueringen, Duehring, Duhring, D—ring, Doring, Doehring, Duehrig, Duerich, Doerich, Dieruich, Dieringer, Diericke, Dierecke, Doringk, Doeringk, Duhringer, Duringer, Doringer, Doeringer, and von D—ering.
Doering is an ethnic name for someone from Thuringia (German Th■ringen). The region is thus named because its former occupation by the Thuringii, a Germanic tribe. Von Doering is from a personal name based on cognate of turren "to dare".
After the fall of the Ludowinger dynasty, the House of Wettin became the rulers of Thuringia and ascended to the throne of Saxony. In 1485, Thuringia was divided into four parts: Sachsen-Weimar, Sachsen-Altenburg, Sachsen-Coburg, and Sachsen-Meiningen. The Thuringian Forest are said to be the most beautiful of central Germany. Martin Luther was said to have stayed at Wartburg Castle, after being excommunicated by the Pope.
The early members of the Doering family lived in Lockstede and Dueringen in Bremen. They owned the estates of Ehmbsen, Ahlerstedt, Mottenshof and Horneburg near Hanover, Germany (today). Branches of this family had estates in Sweden, Denmark, and Hanover. (in the 15-17th centuries). One member, Baron Johann Christoph von Duering was enobled in Sweden in 1719. He was Major-General in the Swedish Army.
The von D—erings had estates in Saxony called Boehlen, Seelingstadt, Muelbach, Trautzschen, and Roitzsch. They then moved to Bavaria and Prussia. Today my own family lives in the Bavarian "Black Forest" area where they own a large inn. Johann D—ring was the Royal Danish financier at Kiel. D. David D— (d.1636) was Lord of Boehlen, was enobled in 1630 in reward for his services as royal advisor to the Princes of Saxony. He also was Lord of the estates of Seelingstadt, Mulhlbach, and Trautzschen. Later, he was Privy Concillor and advisor on mines and resources. He worked with Prince Johann Georg I of Saxony. Johann's sons were learned men. David II was a Saxon advisor. and Chancellor of Wurzen College. Johann's grandson, Erich Frederick von D—ering, was Royal Polish and Saxon Justice Advisor and later Privy Councillor and Chancellor of the college at Naumberg. Thuringia remained a free state, until 1952, when it became part of the German Democratic Republic. Emigration from Germany began after 1650. Many Germans came to Canada and the United States.
August Stempnakowski married Anna von D—ering They were from West Prussian Germany. Anna was reputed to be a French teacher in Alsace-Lorraine.

! TOP PICK: BEST CLASSIC LEATHER MOTORCYCLE JACKET "From the moment we opened the box, took a whiff of the lovely aroma pouring forth and ran our hands over the Montana™ creamy-smooth leather, we were taken. A few hundred miles later, we'd discovered even more to crow about. With its liner out, the Montana is surprisingly cool on hot days, as the four front pockets double as vents thanks to their mesh liners. The brown finish is a nice contrast to the normal black you see everyone else wearing, and the soft finish of the leather will inevitably lead to the jacket "weathering" nicely and developing a character all of its own within a few thousand miles. It's comfortable. It's well-made. It feels secure. It's something different, and it has that vintage feel. What more could you ask for." Motorcycle Classics Magazine

It was hosted by the founders of Beautylish (there's three of them), as well as, the people who work there (Christina and Victoria). This picture was taken at the end of the event, but I think it deserves to be posted first... hehe~ Unfortunately, it's not the greatest picture. I was sitting on the side. :(
These are the brands that sponsored Beautylish, as well as, gave us products to try.
As soon as you enter the room and in the front, they had three mini-stages for makeovers by Napoleon Perdis, Stila, and Maybelline. On the right, they had two manicurists doing manicures on our hands. You had a choice of either Orly or Chanel nail polishes. I got a mini-makeup by Stila. She added blue eyeliner on my lashes, added blush to what I had, and a lip stain. It really came out nice! :)
Here's a closer picture of the stage.
They had different types of tables, example table covered by silver cloth pictured above, either to visit or sit at. At the center of the table, they had a bowl of makeup goodies to grab and try at home. They also had a candle but to be honest, I can't remember if it was lighted... hehe~ :/
They had beauty tips at each center. I thought that was a genius idea... hehe~ :) Don't mind me I get amazed by simple things... hehe~ :D
They also had yummy, delicious food to try.
Here's a closer picture of the food *drool as I type*... hehe~
They also had cupcakes. Doesn't that look like a Christmas tree?... hehe~ It's so cute! :) My apologies, but I forgot to take pictures of the bar. I had the special cocktail Beautylish/Pink Chatelet. Victoria told me about that drink and it was delicious! I should have taken a picture. :X
Carol, the manicurist who did my nail, painted it with one of the new collection from Orly. I believe the name of the nail polish is Lunar Eclipse. It's such a gorgeous color and she recommended this nail polish to match with my hair... hehe~ She also said the new collection is very smooth to apply on the nails. She definitely recommends this collection!... hehe~ ;)
These are the things I grabbed from the center of the tables. I'm sure most people ate their chocolates and candies, but I wanted to take picture of it as soon as I got home. I know I'm weird... hehe~ :P I ended up giving the chocolates to my dad, and the candies to my niece and nephew. The things given were Orly nail polish in Out of This World (I will do a swatch later), two Yes To Carrots Lip Butter, Elf All Over Color Stick, NYX Glitter On The Go, Napoleon Perdis lipgloss, Stila lipgloss, and Yes To Cucumbers Eye Love Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel.
Not only that, they gave you a goody bag.
These are the things that were in my goody bag... hehe~ I got a Beautylish t-shirt, two Yes To Carrots Lip Butter, three Yes To Cucumbers Eye Love Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel, Yes To Cucumbers makeup wipes, Stila lip and cheek stain, NYX goody bag (blush, lip liner, and lipstick), and Orly nail polish in It's Not Rocket Science.

FN2 K20Z4 - just got flashpro and need advice
I have an FN2 (UK Civic Type R) and have just purchased a flashpro. I want to use the Group N map for the meanwhile until I save up for a proper tune. I have heard that the Group N tune still runs rich (as little as 11.5 at full throttle) with the mods I have (HKS race induction and Miltek exhaust) and this can be fixed simply by changing the Air-fuel ratio at full, part and closed throttle to 12.8, 13.8 and 14.something. Does this sound correct and if so how do I go about doing this with the Flashpro? I realise this will not extract much more power by just changing the AF ratio but will run a little smoother and improve MPG. I have picked up this info through the forums and any help is much appreciated. thanks

Graph the datalog making sure it shows rpm, vtc, A/F, and knock. Now lets say that graph shows your running rich on the 30 degree cam angle from 5000 to 8600 rpm. Go to your high speed fuel table for the 30 degree cam and remove fuel in collumns 8, 9, 10 from 5000 to 9000 rpm. Make small changes, keeping in mind to maintaing smooth curves. Also pay close attention to if you have excesive knock. That also needs to be tuned. The graph will also tell you at what rpm and cam your knocking allowing you to remove ignition accordingly. Please refer to the Hondata videos on how to tune flashpro which can be found in youtube. It's not my responsability if you damage or not your engine. If you feel you dont understand the changes your making and cant tell what Im taking about then pay for the services of people such as magnesium to tune your car. |

The AFM calibrations are your best bet on the FN2, there are issues with certain things not working properly on the car if you use the MAP calibrations. Not ideal for a DD.

Talk to nunoctr. He's successfully tuned his fuel on AFM using Hondata's x/y advanced graphing. I'm not entirely -in the know- on that at this point.

Have a look in the FPM help file at the advanced graphs. You can use the XY graph to calibrate your maf sensor. I suggest using your stock intake if you are tuning with maf. It is possible to calibrate the sensor with other intakes but it is a bit more complicated and I have found that it can differ from day to day because of reversion pulses.

How to Heal Colds and Flu
Stay healthy by following a balanced diet high in vitamin C. It's been shown to potentially decrease the severity and duration of a cold — if you have enough of the powerful antioxidant in your system before you get sick. In addition to citrus, good sources include broccoli, green and red peppers, and cantaloupe. Remember, too, to drink plenty of water and 100% fruit juices to stay hydrated.
The Nutritionist.
— Gail C. Rampersaud, RD, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida
When you first feel a cold coming on, suck on zinc lozenges (zinc acetate or gluconate). If you're around sick people, add some garlic to your diet, as well as medicinal shiitake, maitake and reishi mushrooms. They may stimulate the immune response. Tomatoes and other lycopene-rich foods may help, and chicken soup also helps loosen mucus.The Supplement Pro.
— Dwight Mckee, MD, Aptos, California
Transcendental meditation (TM) has been shown to improve immune function. In TM, your mind and body experience a state of deep relaxation. The level of rest is deeper than what you get during the deepest sleep. As a result, the body repairs itself over time in a very efficient way.The Meditation Guide.
— Stuart Rothenberg, MD, Director, Transcendental Meditation Program for South Florida, Boca Raton, Florida; tm.org
Acupuncture isn't a substitute for conventional prevention and treatments (a flu shot, enough sleep, a healthy diet, exercise, stress management). But acupuncture can help you feel balanced. If you get sick, and if your doctor is comfortable with it, see an acupuncturist, who might use needles on your face, arms, chest and back. This may lessen the severity and duration of colds and flu.The Acupuncture Expert.
— James Dillard, MD, Medical Director, Rosenthal Center, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, New York
Bottom Line
Prevent colds by using alcohol-based hand gels like Purell or Avant after shaking hands or holding frequently touched objects. Colds and flu are usually spread by hand contact, not coughing and sneezing. At the same time, make your body less hospitable to these bugs with a robust intake of fruits and vegetables, and seven hours of sleep daily.

Marcus Erlandsson has been in the semiconductor business since 1998. He started as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design consultant, a job which gave him a lot of insight into the methodologies that product companies used. "It was during this period that I realised that most of the times we try to 'reinvent the wheel'." His interest in open source hardware was kindled.
In 2000, he moved into the ASIC development business, and one of the key focus areas of the company he worked for was FPGA-to-ASIC and ASIC-to-ASIC conversion. "I met a lot of companies that had difficulties keeping their products alive in the market due to end-of-life issues with components. And, since component lifecycles were constantly becoming shorter, I knew that open-source hardware was a necessity to enable smooth redesign into newer hardware." It was during this period that he identified and began to participate deeply in OpenCores, a Web community which hosts a repository of free, open source intellectual property (IP) cores including chip designs, system-on-a-chip and supplemental boards. Erlandsson's involvement in OpenCores became so deep that it eventually became a part of ORSoC (OpenRISC System-on-Chip), an FPGA/ASIC design house that he founded with two other colleagues in 2004.
We caught up with Erlandsson on the significance of open hardware, the OpenCores journey, the business case behind it, how it is benefiting engineers worldwide, and more business and technical doubts that commonly crop up…

We recently heard that Apple is working on a new ultra thin 15 inch laptop, which could either be a new design for the MacBook Pro or a new 15 inch MacBook Air, and now more details have emerged on the mystery 15 inch device.
The news comes from Digitimes who are reporting that the device could go on sale next March, and components for the device are now being made and shipped to manufacturers.
Estimated by the product planning, mass shipments of the notebook device will start in March and could be cataloged in either the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro line. Apple currently has three screen sizes for the MacBook Pro – 13.3-inch, 15.6-inch and 17-inch.
Personally I think if we are going to see a new 15 inch ultra slim MacBook it will be the MacBook Air, as Apple would have to revamp the 13 inch and 17 inch MacBook Pro's at the same time if they were going to launch an ultra thin 15 inch MacBook Pro.

"Survey Ranks Obama 15th Best President, Bush Among Worst
"Former President George W. Bush is in the bottom 5" By MALLIE JANE KIM http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2010/07/0... "The survey, which ranks presidents using 20 different factors, shows -Jefferson was the most intelligent president, -Richard Nixon was the worst at integrity and avoiding crucial mistakes, -Lincoln had the best overall ability, and -Washington was the best leader. Hereare the TOP 15: 1. Franklin D. Roosevelt 2. Theodore Roosevelt 3. Abraham Lincoln 4. George Washington 5. Thomas Jefferson 6. James Madison 7. James Monroe 8. Woodrow Wilson 9. Harry Truman 10. Dwight D. Eisenhower 11. John F. Kennedy 12. James K. Polk 13. William Clinton 14. Andrew Jackson 15. BARACK OBAMA Here are the BOTTOM 5: 39. GEORGE W. BUSH 40. Franklin Pierce 41. Warren G. Harding 42. James Buchanan 43. Andrew Johnson |
Since: Feb 12 2,407 |
Nov 23, 2012
Thanks for proving my point. You can get whatever results you want in one of those polls. All you have to do is word the questions the right way. This is too funny!!!! |
Nov 23, 2012
No matter which of numerous genuine listings one looks at, Obama is never ranked any lower than 15th.
No matter which of numerous genuine listings of presidents one looks at, George W. Bush is always near the bottom of the list. C-Span surveyed 109 professional historians in to come up with an exhaustive ranking of all 42 former presidents. The BOTTOM 10: 33. Hayes (R) 34. Hoover (R) 35. John Tyler (Whig) 36. G. W. BUSH (R) 37. Fillmore (Whig) 38. Harding (R) 39. Harrison (R) 40. Pierce (D) 41. Andrew Johnson (D) 42. James Buchanan (D) 109 professional historians ranked G. W. Bush's presidency 98% FAILURE and 2% success "No individual president can compare to the second Bush," wrote one historian. "Glib, contemptuous, ignorant, incurious, a dupe of anyone who humors his deluded belief in his heroic self, he has bankrupted the country with his disastrous war and his tax breaks for the rich, trampled on the Bill of Rights, appointed foxes in every henhouse, compounded the terrorist threat, turned a blind eye to torture and corruption and a looming ecological disaster, and The squandered the rest of the world's goodwill. In short, no other president's faults have had so deleterious an effect on not only the country but the world at large." Another historian surveyed by C-Span said, "With his unprovoked and disastrous war of aggression in Iraq and his monstrous deficits, Bush has SET THIS COUNTRY ON A COURSE THAT WILL TAKE DECADES TO CORRECT." |

Nov 23, 2012
Ah yes there we go again. The plaintive cries of the wounded libtard.
When your polls are shown to contradict eachother then cry and say well all the polls show I am right so disregard the facts. Now the so called researcher posts thi, "No matter which of numerous genuine listings of presidents one looks at, George W. Bush is always near the bottom of the list." But yet his first poll that he posted showed Bush as in the top 10! Although he conveniently left that out. Now he says a totally different story. This is just too rich! |
Nov 23, 2012
Yes, surveys are very scientific. Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Rossevelt, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Barack Obama HAS SET THIS COUNTRY ON A COURSE THAT CAN NEVER BE CORRECT. George W. Bush was the last president of Constitutional America and Barack Obama is the transitional president from the USA to the USSA. That ain't a survey. that's the truth.
Nov 23, 2012
Some people have no problem posting their opinions and bare face lies. It does not take a genius to see that Obama has severe problems understanding a democracy and that he is not king and the final word on anything. He is only one elected official and a very dangerous one at that. This poster (researcher) needs to do some real research and stop the cut and paste propaganda spreading. It shows an attempt to support a desperate argument. It short everything posted by researcher is pure bullshit!!!!
Nov 24, 2012
After Republicans have tried for weeks to try to persuade somebody it is other people's fault they lost,
AN AVERAGE OF POLLS SHOW OBAMA WOULD STILL WIN: 11/1 - 11/23 -- Approve the president - 50.7 Disapprove of the president -46.7 |
Since: Feb 12 2,407 |

Oh the poll master still placing all his faith in polls.
The true meaning insanity. |

Ummm.. crazy cat lady you forgot to change your screen name back to something else.I guess you forgot in all your deviant and Marion bashing to fix it you wierdo.Stay in Burnsville please with all the other backwoods hillbillys.What would you possibly know about research? You are so ignorant and a racist piece of shit you know nothing about anything.Its obvious in your rants the only thing you know how to do is hate people you don't know and if they gave degrees for that you'd be good but unfortunately not going to happen.
Nov 27, 2012
Sorry everyone. I got a little cranked up for a few minutes. My partner has been fussing at me and calling me his bitch. Plus my nose has been bleeding. That last snow has really screwed me up. To top it all off my ass is burning like a brush pile. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.
Nov 27, 2012

Honey you need some serious mental help I don't care if you are gay and neither do most people so just come on out already. Please stop molesting your cats it's gross and where have you been? I live in Marion you live in Burnsville it's hasn't snowed down here in a long time you crazy hillbilly. It seems to me you need to quit cooking all that meth in your single wide it's really REALLY messing you up even more. You old dirty hooker.

We stayed 2 nights in this fun spot while in Fes - By far the nicest place we stayed in Morocco. I am rating this excellent for Moroccan standards, not American or European. We thought Mounia was quaint, comfortable and beautifully decorated with a nice buffet breakfast. If you are an open-minded, adaptable traveler in search of authentic experiences in charming venues you will do beautifully here. If you are more fussy or are expecting luxury you probably should go someplace else and leave this darling little place to the rest of us.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, Booking.com, Travel Republic (UK) and HostelWorld so you can book your Hotel Mounia reservations with confidence. We help millions of travellers each month to find the perfect hotel for both holiday and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.
