1979-1985, 1987 Mercedes 300TD Fuel Filter - Bosch W0133-1641619
Product Description
Your Mercedes 300TD, model years 1979-1985 and 1987, is fitted with two fuel filters located in the engine compartment. One is an inline, plastic pre-filter that protects the lift pump that moves fuel from the fuel tank and the other, the primary fuel filter, is a spin-on type designed to protect the injection pump. Both should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. The original equipment supplier of these filters was Bosch and here you'll find OEM replacements for both. These Bosch fuel filters are inexpensive to buy and the replacement procedure is straightforward, with easy accessibility.

Sweetbay to close a third of its underperforming Florida stores
TAMPA - Sweetbay Supermarket will close 33 "underperforming" grocery stores from its total fleet of 105 stores in Florida – all of them closing by mid February. Sweetbay's Belgian parent company Delhaize Group announced the news late Wednesday night as part of a broader reorganization plan aimed at improving the company's results in the United States. The closures will mean layoffs for about 2,000 employees in Florida and changes for customers of the pharmacies at those stores. "They are simply underperforming stores," said Sweetbay spokeswoman Nicole LeBeau. "Some of them, the leases were coming up, and just based on the sales of the stores they were selected."The closures span the state and include both upscale and more low-income parts of Tampa, with six closing in Hillsborough County and 12 across Pinellas and Pasco counties. That also means the liquor stores and pharmacies attached to those stores will also close. For pharmacy customers, there will be instructions at the store about how their prescriptions can be transferred to other locations. In Tampa, stores closing include: As for what will become of the locations, Sweetbay rents all its store locations, so refilling the space with a new tenant will be up to the landlord or property owner. Sweetbay is part of a collection of grocery brands owned by Delhaize that operates 3,400 stores in 11 countries. In the United States, that includes 1,500 stores under the brands Food Lion, Harvey's, Bottom Dollar, Reid's and Hannaford. The grocery industry has notoriously narrow profit margins, and with 105 stores in Florida, Sweetbay faces competition from much larger rivals. Publix operates 1,066 stores in five states, and Walmart has taken large shares of the grocery market, while Target has also expanded to offer fresh groceries. Under pressure, Winn-Dixie Stores filed for bankruptcy re-organization in 2005 and Albertson's closed dozens of stores in Florida in recent years, about 50 of which were adopted by Publix and re-branded to become Publix stores. Others were abandoned, including large stores like one at Waters Avenue and Dale Mabry Highway. The "Sweetbay" brand has only been around since the mid-2000s, when the parent company started dropping the name "Kash N' Karry" from Florida stores, and finished the transition in August 2007. Sweetbay worked to compete in part by launching a new private-label store brand called "My Essentials" in March 2011, with items like milk, eggs, sugar and bread matched to the lowest price offered by nearby rivals. For pricing overall, Sweetbay is typically in the middle of the pack of five local grocery chains, including Walmart, Publix, Target and Winn-Dixie – with Walmart typically the least expensive and Winn-Dixie the most expensive, according to the Tribune's weekly Market Basket survey. (That survey does not calculate buy-one-get-one or club member discounts to reflect widely-available prices over time.) There have been rumblings that a shakeup was on the way. Though rising somewhat in recent weeks, stock in Delhaize has lost more than half its value in the past two years, falling from almost $90 per share in May 2011 to close at $42.53 Wednesday. Delhaize is set to release 2012 financial results early Thursday morning in Europe. In just the last two weeks, Delhaize thinned and re-organized U.S. executive ranks. Mike Vail was moved from leader of the Sweetbay brand to become a supply chain executive for Delhaize America at the Food Lion headquarters in Salisbury, N.C. Brad Wise, the former chief of human resources for Delhaize America became the new president of the Hannaford and Sweetbay brands – working from the Hannaford headquarters in Maine. In Florida, the leader for the Sweetbay operations will be Vice President of Retail Operations Eddie Garcia.

We've got loads of noodle soup recipes packed with prawns, including Thai curry soup, Chinese sweet and sour prawn soup, Vietnamese prawn pho and plenty more.
A healthy, tongue tantalising, Oriental soup-like dish inspired by the Thai favourite Tom Yum Soup. Low in fat, low in salt but high in flavour. For those who want to lose weight but don't want the boring salad, this dish is for you. So easy to prepare literally takes 15 minutes to prepare and cook. Faster than most microwave meals!
A Thai curry soup made with coconut milk, prawns, mushrooms and spinach. Chicken or extra vegetables could be used instead of the prawns.
For extra flavour, add a splash of rice wine or sake to the soup before serving.
This deliciously tasting soup is easy to make. You can find a video instruction of this recipe on my Youtube channel "Cooking with Dorus".
This is a noodle soup with prawns, pineapple, soy sauce, lime and a hint of chilli pepper. Break the noodles in half before cooking and garnish with fresh basil at the end.
This light, refreshing soup has flavours that are characteristic of Chinese cookery: sesame, ginger and star anise. The dried mushrooms and dried shrimps can be found in larger supermarkets and Oriental food stores.
This is a quick and easy noodle soup, based on the classic Vietnames pho dish. Prawns are cooked with spinach and rice noodles in a well-seasoned stock. Serve with lime wedges, fresh basil, peppers and beansprouts, if desired.
Laksa is a delicious coconut curry soup with rice noodles, vegetables and prawns. Adjust the spices to your own taste.
In this easy Chinese noodle soup, mussels and prawns are simmered in a tomato-based broth with a little sourness from sauerkraut. A big hit with seafood fans.
In China soups are not served at the beginning of the meal but in between courses or dishes. This is why they are made with a light stock, so they are more appropriate as a starter in a Western meal. You can part-prepare this soup ahead, then add the scallops, vegetables and noodles just before serving.

Hey guys
Im planning to do South and North America for 5 months between March and August and was wondering what sort of walking shoes/boots to bring?
I'll be doing a lot of major cities (Rio, Buenos Aires, Lima etc), but also things like the inca trail, the rockies etc.
Im definitely bringing some flip flops (naturally ) but was wondering what the right sort of shoe/boot to bring for this trip would be? Id be tempted to get some breathable lightweight walking shoe for the hot climates, but they wouldnt be very good for ankle support on mountains. On the other hand I could go for a heavyweight boot which could hike up anything, but would make my feet sweat like a pig in a sausage factory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Detailed Description:
The goal of the study is to define the roles played by resistance to insulin-mediated glucose disposal (insulin resistance) and circulating plasma insulin concentrations in: 1) ability to lose weight; 2) reduction of risk for coronary heart disease as a result of weight loss. We hypothesize that in the setting of caloric restriction, manipulating endogenous insulin concentrations will not alter ability of subjects to lose weight, but will lead to different reduction in CHD risk factors. To test this hypothesis, two parallel studs will be performed. First, obese insulin-resistant individuals will be randomized to one of two equally-hypocaloric diets that vary moderately in proportion of carbohydrate and mono/polyunsaturated fats (lower carbohydrate diet will be associated with greater reduction in endogenous insulin secretion). Second, diabetics treated with insulin secretagogues will be compared to diabetics treated with insulin sensitizers with respect to the same outcomes (secretagogues increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitizers decrease insulin concentrations). Endpoints include weight loss, change in insulin resistance, blood pressure, lipid and lipoproteins, markers of endothelial function, daylong insulin and glucose concentrations: these will be compared, in each of the parallel studies, between the group with insulin-stimulating intervention vs the group with the insulin-sparing intervention.

Further study details as provided by Tracey McLaughlin, Stanford University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Weight loss
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Lipid/lipoprotein changes
- Blood pressure changes
- Insulin resistance changes
- Endothelial function changes
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|October 2000
While obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes are highly associated, it is not clear whether insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia play important roles in the tendency to gain weight and/or inability to lose weight. The role of hyperinsulinemia in coronary heart disease (CHD)is also unclear. The specific aims of the proposed research are as follows:
- To compare insulin resistant versus insulin sensitive nondiabetic overweight individuals with respect to their ability to lose weight on a low calorie diet. CHD risk factors before and after weight loss will also be assessed to determine the degree to which insulin resistance is associated with CHD risk, as well as the impact that differences in insulin resistance have on the metabolic benefits of weight loss
- To determine if weight loss and its associated metabolic benefits vary as a function of the relative amounts of dietary fat and carbohydrate in hypocaloric diets. Because high carbohydrate diets increase insulin secretion, the relationship between dietary composition and change in circulating insulin concentrations will be analyzed with respect to both weight loss and CHD risk factors.
- To quantify and compare the improvement in glycemic control and CHD risk factors associated with weight loss in obese type 2 diabetics, while being treated with 1) an insulin secretagogue (sulfonylurea) or 2) an insulin sensitizer (thiazolidinedione). Manipulation of plasma insulin concentrations with these medications will provide a mechanism by which to evaluate the impact of circulating insulin concentrations on the described outcome measures.
- A subgroup of overweight/obese premenopausal women with PCOS will be studied using two diets in crossover design with regard to macronutrient effects on endogenous hyperinsulinism. For this subgroup age range will be 18-50 years, BMI 25-50 kg/m2.
- In order to increase our data and therefore increase our better understanding of fat cells and insulin resistance and changes in fat cells with weight loss we would like to increase our participant enrollment to 550 all to be enrolled at Stanford University Medical Center recruiting Bariatric participants:
Age for Bariatric patients 30-65 men and women BMI 27-no upper limit Currently we have completed all participants except the bariatric and post bariatric population and those with hypoglycemia following bariatric surgery.
The ethnic background of subjects reflects Stanford's patient population.

So school's almost out and I know I'm a little late for this post, but I just wanted to say that you're not invisible. It occured to me today that sometimes being shut out and purposefully ignored can hurt worse than being yelled at or being called names.
I know this statement will be a controversial one, but it's what I think. My younger sister and I have been reinacting the Cold War, except I'm the United States and she's the Soviet Union. In other words, I shut her out. And I know it hurts her, yet I can't seem to stop. Her words and actions still effect me and I have the power to sign the treaty, but I don't. It hurts us both and, does it make anything better? No.
So the next time you start the silent treatment, think twice about it, because it's hard to get out of! And the next time you're the one being shut out, try to make that treaty and resolve the issue before it just hangs there for a decade.
Thanks for reading! And, you're not invisible.

No one is forced
to attend college
Re: the March 28 article "Student loan debt widens US wealth gap."
The article describes the "plight" of individuals who are repaying student loans taken to attend college and graduate school.
The first two examples given are a law student and a doctor! They describe how their debt is putting them behind their peers in being able to achieve their dreams, such as paying into retirement accounts and buying a house.
The article attempts to elicit sympathy for those who are in debt compared with those who are not. Attending college is a very good idea, but no one is forcing these young people to do so, and certainly no one is required to attend a private college that costs at least twice that of a public college.
Going to graduate school is also a good idea for many. We certainly need more doctors. A need for more lawyers is another question! States withdrawing support for public universities is unfortunate, but there is a cost to attend college, and we should be responsible for the choices we make.

TUSD was shortsighted
in firing Principal Scott
Re: the March 26 article "TUSD board votes 4-1 not to renew contract of Catalina Principal Scott."
The Tucson Unified School District board and superintendent showed an incredible lack of courage in removing Dr. Rex Scott from his position as principal of Catalina High School.
They, and anyone who has ever served as the principal of a high school, know that with the circumstances of the extremely high numbers of English-language-learner and exceptional-education students, the mobility rate and the severe poverty of the families at Catalina, the results that Scott and his staff achieved were spectacular.
In fact, Scott' s performance at Catalina is quite possibly the best job anyone has done in TUSD in the last 20 years. By removing him, the school board has made a clear statement: Test scores are more important than helping our most needy at-risk students.
Scott will move on and inspire staff and students wherever he goes. The students, families and staff of Catalina, as well as all at-risk students in our community, will be left to suffer.

Why is LaWall opposed
to Gattone's suggestion?
Re: the March 25 guest column "Allegation of County Attorney's Office bias is unsupported."
I can understand why Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall is offended by Paul Gattone's suggestion that her office carries an inherent bias in favor of law enforcement agencies, but I cannot understand why she is so opposed to an independent review of officer shootings.
If her own office's reviews are as balanced and thoroughgoing as she insists they are, then she has nothing to lose from the independent review that Mr. Gattone calls for, and such a step would shield her from further criticism.

ready to bear down
I have lived half my life in Wisconsin and the other half in Arizona. Whom do I cheer for today? I am undecided right now. The Badgers are tall and can really pass and score at will.
The Cats are going to have to play a totally great game and take the "sky" out of 7-foot Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky. Can a wildcat stop a badger? We will see tonight.
Just kidding about cheering for Wisconsin. Arizona — bear down!

Health-care sign-up
deadline is Monday
Monday is the last day to enroll — or at least initiate enrollment — in the Affordable Care Act to be covered in 2014. This is a good time to reflect on what it would have been like for me had I not had health insurance.
I tripped and fell on my shoulder while walking my dog and tore my rotator cuff. After two doctor's visits, an X-ray, physical therapy and an MRI, surgery was recommended to repair it.
I had surgery and am still undergoing physical therapy weekly. The grand total so far is about $55,000.
All it takes is one slip and fall to financial ruin. Anyone without health insurance can get covered. Do it now before it's too late.

Come, take advantage
of wonderful theater
My wife and I were recently treated to a wonderful Tucson surprise. As snowbirds from Chicago, we are used to talented performances from storefront theaters and found just such a theater in Tucson at the Comedy Playhouse on First Avenue.
We were a little shocked to find so many empty seats, and when we went back to the next offering we again were bewildered by the lack of local support.
Come on Tucson, see the next generation of your local actors and actresses, young, old and in between, developing before your very eyes. You truly have a gem.

Today I played outside with my little boy, and in less than an hour, my nose was completely numb. I miss Summer already! If there's one thing that keeps my Winter-time blues at bay, it's the fabulous holiday beauty collections. Urban Decay's Holiday 2011 lineup is incredible, and here are the details! Hope this eye candy warms your heart as it did mine!
Urban Decay Holiday 2011 Collection
Everyone's favorite Urban Decay shadow palette is back! Book of Shadows Vol. IV is the gem of Urban Decays holiday 2011 lineup, with 16 shadows (10 original), a full-sized Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Perversion, a travel-sized Supercurl Curling Mascara, travel-sized Eyeshadow Primer Potion and a mirror. Retail price is $64.
At a budget-friendly $28, Urban Decay's Holiday Nail Kit is good for gifting or for keeping. The shades included are the hottest shades of the season, and party-worthy to boot! Shades include: Barlust – whiskey brown w/brown shimmer, Mars – emerald green w/ green and silver micro-glitter, Wrecked – deep red wine, Ziggy – gold and multi-colored glitter, Gunmetal – shimmery dark grey and Hot Mess – bright fuchsia w/ fuchsia micro-glitter. Urban Decay nail lacquer is DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde-free!
This gleaming silvery tin contains the Mariposa Palette, a collection of 10 eyeshadow shades and an applicator brush. Shades included are: Gunmetal – gunmetal grey w/silver glitter, Haight – shimmering mermaid blue, Infamous – shifty mauve, Limelight – bronze w/gold glitter, Money – silvery pale green, Mushroom – shimmering fawn, Rockstar – deep eggplant w/metallic base, Skimp – pale nude w/ gold shimmer,
Spotlight – medium taupe w/gold sparkle and Wreckage – shimmery dark taupe.
I've always been a fan of Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Their Holiday 2011 makeup collection includes Eyeshadow Primer Potion in a mega-size! The squeeze bottle (no wand here) contains 44% more product, for only $11 more than their regular sized bottle. Retail price is $30.
The second I saw this image of the Midnight Emergency Kit, I thought of New Year's Eve! This adorable teeny little zip-up palette contains Midnight Cowboy (the cult-favorite metallic) and all of it's spin-off sisters! Shadow shades included are: Midnight Cowboy – champagne w/ silver glitter (our best-seller), Midnight Rodeo – brown pearl w/ silver glitter, Midnight 15 – pearly oyster w/ silver glitter and AC/DC – smoky grey/purple w/ shimmer.

Baby Shower Cake
Buttercream with fondant accents. NOT sure what happened but this is the 2nd time a 2 tiered cake has SPLIT! Used wooden dowels and did a dowel all the way through the center. Couldn't find a box big enough so I put it in the same storage tote that I transported the other cake that split in. I'm thinking maybe the cakes are getting too hot in there. Anyway, I drove an hour to do what I could with the cake and ended up repairing the split well enough to make 2 cakes instead of the 1 tiered cake.

A bomb explodes. Tables and chairs are tossed in chaos, and people are screaming in pain.
A trauma scene is the last place that medical professionals want to feel unprepared, and a recent workshop taught local caregivers how to react in the face of disaster.
Anoka-Ramsey Community College Cambridge Campus hosted the Spring into Preparedness workshop Friday, March 28. Emergency personnel listened to keynote speakers, attended workshops and participated in a trauma simulation.
Cambridge Medical Center's Susan Eisenbacher was one of the presenters. As an registered nurse, she's dealt with a variety of patients. Her seminar taught emergency care workers how to care for mental health patients in disaster.
When dealing with a person who is paranoid, "Don't put your hands in your pockets or behind your back," she said – those are signs of authority that can be disconcerting to patients. When talking with people in wheelchairs, she says, "Get down to their level."
She also talked about safety in disaster situations with mental health patients.
"If your gut is talking to you, listen to your gut," Eisenbacher said. "Anytime I've ever been hit is when I didn't listen to it."
Other sessions touched on self care in disaster. American Red Cross professional, Janice Springer, talked about obstacles in disaster.
She warned professionals to keep shifts to less than 12 hours. She also talked about compassion fatigue and reminded emergency workers to completely check out of the disaster when taking a break from it.
"Don't turn on the TV," she said.
Michele Erickson has been a registered nurse for 33 years, and she appreciated the networking opportunity the workshop enabled.
"I liked finding out what's out there, the techniques to use in a disaster situation and ways to take care of yourself," Erickson said.
The day ended with a fake bomb blast as part of a trauma simulation exercise. Professionals were put to the test by applying what they had learned from the day to sort, code and "operate" on patients.

A new study spanning multiple decades has found that skin cancer rates in the U.S. are rising dramatically, even as rates of other cancers are falling. The rise is most pronounced among young women, according to the researchers who conducted the study.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Mayo Clinic researchers studied health records dating back to the 1970s in Olmstead County, Mass., and found the number of melanoma cases in young adults has increased more than sixfold in the past 40 years. In young women specifically, the number of cases increased more than eightfold. For young men, the increase was fourfold.
Coffee, Exercise May Decrease Risk of Skin Cancer
"We anticipated we'd find rising rates, as other studies are suggesting, but we found an even higher incidence than the National Cancer Institute had reported…and in particular, a dramatic rise in women in their 20s and 30s," said lead investigator Dr. Jerry Brewer, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist. The good news, according to the study, is the number of deaths from melanoma appears to be falling—most likely because of better awareness and earlier diagnosis.
While men typically have a higher lifetime risk of developing melanoma, the opposite is true for young adults and adolescents: Nearly two female cases are diagnosed for every one male case in young adults aged 20 to 24.
The researchers speculated that besides the incidence of childhood sunburns, some gender-specific behaviors may also explain the findings: Females, for example, are much more likely to use ultra-violet tanning beds than males (in most tanning salons, females make up 70 percent of the clientele).
Tanning beds have long been associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. A study in Iceland found that the melanoma rates among residents—who had very little exposure to the sun—significantly increased after the introduction of tanning beds.
7 Most Expensive Plastic Surgery Procedures
"When you look at concentration of UV radiation from a tanning bed, it is significant," Brewer said at a recent news conference. "Ten to 12 minutes in a tanning bed is the same as 10 to 12 minutes in the sun in the Mediterranean."
"The International Agency for Research on Cancer categorized tanning beds in the same category as plutonium and cigarettes in terms of cancer-causing potential," he added.
Brewer said there should "absolutely" be restrictions in place to limit adolescents' exposure to tanning beds—such as instituting an age limit or requiring a parent's signature to use them--but putting these measures into place and enforcing those restrictions would be challenging.
Stressed Out! How to Navigate One—Or More—Life-Changing Events
"There are efforts already to ban tanning beds in certain state—32 of 50 states already have some kind of restriction," Brewer said. "But if you tell kids they need their parents' signatures, they'll go home and sign it themselves. It's like trying to ban cigarettes. It's very difficult."Tags: cancerCopyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

Had a fight with Sir this morning because I stayed up too late.He asked me what time I came to bed and I answered late. He reminded me that I couldn't live like a rockstar to which I replied I haven't stayed up late in months. It made me angry and frustrated.On one hand I see his point, he is looking out for my health but on the other hand I feel like he is treating me like a child. I actually said to him " Would you like to set a bedtime"? He also said he was going to spank me super hard for staying up. The sub in me wants to take the punishment but the rebel is like fuck you stop treating me like a kid. After he left I sent him a message telling him I was sorry. At this point I think we need to sit down and compromise somehow. Thoughts?
VIEW 3 of 3 COMMENTS
Unless I am missing a greater context to this, I think he overreacted. We all need to blow off steam from time to time and you seem to be taking care of your shit. So if you want to stay up past your bed time on a sat then you earned that right. If this was a 7days a week thing then sure he should sit you down and have a talk. Maybe he just wanted in you in bed with him when we went to sleep and was disappointed when you were not so he had a little tantrum?
I agree with LaceyK. Spankings can be for behavior, when you both recognize the silliness of the crime; but not when he thinks you've truly done something wrong, and you don't.
Staying up late is fun, and often productive, and everyone has to do it occasionally. And sometimes you just can't sleep... why waste the time trying?

How hunger affects children in the Philadelphia area
By Alfred Lubrano
Inquirer Staff Writer
Children in poverty are more emotionally affected by a lack of food than was previously understood, new research shows.
With food prices up nearly 5 percent over last year and the poor disproportionately hurt, children are noticing their parents skipping more meals to let their youngsters eat.
That's causing kids to speak up.
"I get yummy French toast, but when Mommy doesn't eat, I say, 'Please eat right now, Mommy,' " said Kodi-Cheree Moses, 5, of North Philadelphia. Her mother, Shontaya, 31, a security guard, has three other children, and food is scarce.
The same worries course through the streets of Frankford, where 7-year-old Marcus Gaines Jr. has his parents' missed meals on his mind.
"When I eat and I see my mom and dad don't, I say, 'Why don't you eat?' " he said. "It makes me feel nervous and kind of sad and stuff.
"I worry about them. I try to give them my chicken nuggets."
Marcus Sr. gently turns down his son's offers and tells him not to fret. "As long as you guys eat, we're OK," he said he tells the boy. "Me and Mommy will find something."
As hard times get harder, they seem to press more unyieldingly on the poor.
"The whole life of someone economically stressed is a lot more fragile than before," said Bill Clark, executive director of Philabundance, the region's largest hunger-relief agency.
The agency has seen need in the Philadelphia area grow 22 percent over last year, and 66 percent since 2009.
For the poor, the increase in food prices means they must spend an extra $30 a month, a huge sum for low-income people, analysts say.
"I never thought I'd be where I am," said Mary Reed, 48, a married mother of two in Bellmawr, Camden County. Reed cares for an 8-year-old autistic son, and her 60-year-old husband was laid off from a warehouse job in 2008. She must frequent food pantries to get by. "I never thought we'd hit rock bottom like we did," she said.
While suffering is local, some global factors are causing food prices to rise, according to Ricky Volpe, a retail food specialist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
First, prices of commodities – staple crops such as wheat and corn – are up, according to Steve Reed, an economist with the information and analysis branch of the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics. Similarly, the price of fuel used to ship food is up.
Prices of grain have risen because there is more demand for it throughout the world, said Elaine Waxman, vice president for research of Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger-relief agency, of which Philabundance is a part.
More grain is being diverted from food into the making of alternative fuels, Waxman said.
Meanwhile, more people in India and China are eating meat, siphoning larger proportions of the world's grain supplies to feed the livestock.
Higher commodities prices are reflected in more expensive milk, eggs, and produce, Waxman said.
In the last year, eggs have gone up as much as 13 percent and milk has increased 11 percent, federal figures show.
On average, middle-class Americans spend 10 percent of their household budgets on food, federal figures show. But the poor can spend as much as 20 percent, said Craig Gundersen, executive director of the National Soybean Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois.
With fewer resources, the poor must spend more of their money on basic needs, said Gundersen, an expert on food stamps and hunger.
Federal safety-net programs can help the poor. But research at Drexel University's School of Public Health shows that even a family receiving the maximum amount of food stamps would still require an additional $2,600 annually just to be able to buy the minimum amount of food it needs to survive, as determined by the USDA.
The maximum monthly food-stamp payout for a family of four in Pennsylvania is $668. But the average family of four receives around $530.
The food struggles that families endure cannot be hidden from children, who are more aware of problems than had been thought, according to Drexel's Mariana Chilton, one of the nation's leading hunger experts.
"In our newest work, we are finding that children as young as 5 and 6 years old are noticing when their moms are not eating, and will beg them to eat, or say they're not hungry so their moms could eat," Chilton said. "It deepens the anguish that parents feel and deepens children's depression."
Nadja Brickle, 22, a West Philadelphia mother of three, concurred.
"You see the expression on their faces in the grocery store when they want food and you have to say no," Brickle said. "When I cook, I often don't eat so my kids can.
"Most people don't know what it feels like to have your stomach completely empty and to make and smell food you won't be eating. And then, they're not satisfied 'cause it's not enough food for them. And you're still hungry."
A recent issue of the Journal of Nutrition studied children 9 through 16 and their awareness of lack of food in their families. It causes worry, sadness, and anger, researchers said.
Sometimes, older children took matters into their own hands, trying to borrow food from others or looking for menial work to buy food for their families.
In one extreme case, children set up dog fights to make money for food, the Journal reported.
With aware children sharing the pain of hunger, Shontaya Moses said, she has little choice but to face her problems and try her best.
"I team up with people in my building to share whatever food we have," Moses said. "The only thing I can say is, we try to hang in there."

Heroes save Temple Hills family during fire
A fire moved quickly to trap the family inside their Temple Hills home - but their neighbors moved quicker.
Two of the family members are still in the hospital Monday night. But they are lucky to be alive, thanks to a trio of heroes from their neighborhood.
Gene Ward and his daughter Vanessa live right next door to the house that caught fire. He immediately ran over to help while Vanessa called 911.
"Mr. Jim couldn't get out by himself," Vanessa Ward says. "I knew somebody had to go in and help him."
Trapped inside the house were 79-year-old James Musser, his 84-year-old wife Donna and their 50-year-old son Chris.
Gene Ward had kicked in the front door and gotten Donna Musser and Chris outside safely. He went upstairs and saw James Musser, a 300 pound man who uses a walker trapped right outside the burning bedroom.
"I said, 'Come on Mr. Jim, come on Mr. Jim - we got to get out of here,'" Gene Ward says. "He couldn't move his legs so I grabbed his legs and helped him slide down the steps."
In the meantime, other neighbors rushed to help, bringing blankets and carrying the injured away from the house.
It was a neighborhood of heroes pulling together and helped restore the faith of some.
"I don't know about hero," Gene Ward says. "I just thank god for the strength I had."

Dalits defy temple ban
Over 1,000 lower caste Hindus, known as Dalits, have broken an age-old taboo banning their entry into Indian temples.
The Dalit members went into a temple in the western Indian state of Rajasthan.
The lower caste villagers say this was the first time they dared to enter the temple freely and it comes against a backdrop of an awareness campaign organised by civil liberty organisations.
One of the group told the BBC that upper caste Hindus have long considered the Dalits untouchable and have barred them from entering temples - an allegation denied by the temple's priest.

Each week seems to bring news of another season-ending injury for the Celtics, who had already lost Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger for the year, and now appear on the verge of ruling out Leandro Barbosa for the rest of the season. As the team considers its free agent options, Shelvin Mack is a possibility, but Delonte West is not being considered, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports (via Twitter).
Mack, 23, was on the Wizards' roster in camp, and though he didn't make the regular-season roster, Washington brought him back for a couple weeks before the contract guarantee deadline. After he was released for a second time by the Wizards, Mack secured two 10-day contracts with the 76ers. In between stints with NBA team, the Butler product earned a spot in the D-League's All-Star game, having averaged 19.6 PPG and 7.6 RPG in 19 contests with the Maine Red Claws this season. The Red Claws are the Celtics' D-League affiliate.
The Celtics are considering other options besides Mack, according to Wojnarowski, and there's no indication yet that the team is in a rush to make a move. With two open roster spots, the team could sign a player to a 10-day deal and still have a little roster flexibility at the trade deadline to add a player, as Ken Berger of CBSSports.com suggests (Twitter link). It's possible Danny Ainge waits until after the trade deadline to re-assess the available options.
However, it doesn't sound as if West will be one of the options considered by the C's, despite the fact that he started his career in Boston and returned to the team in 2010/11. West was cut by the Mavericks earlier this season for off-court issues and hasn't caught on with another NBA team since then.

Homeless NYC couple inspired new movie, 'Shelter'
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - From actor to director, Paul Bettany is behind the lens in his latest work role. "I thought I'd give it a go. It's my first time," said Bettany.
'Shelter' was inspired by a homeless couple he often saw in lower Manhattan but never again after Superstorm Sandy.
"To be honest, they had disappeared to me before that. Slowly their poverty became more acceptable to me. I felt a lot of shame surrounding that. I wanted to make a film about judgment and how as a culture we're being entrenched in a world with black and white positions," said Bettany.
'Shelter' stars Jennifer Connelly (Bettany's wife) and Anthony Mackie.

There Should Be No Rush With Cody Rhodes Career
by, 06-21-2012 at 07:03 PM (3838 Views)
A lot of wrestling fans have been clamoring for Cody Rhodes to win one of the Money In The Bank Briefcases next month when a Pay-Per-View of the same name takes place.
They want this because being the owner of said Briefcase all but guarantees you are going to win a World Championship very soon, but my reply would be, whats the rush?
Cody Rhodes is going to turn twenty-seven on June Thirtieth and still has a ton of time to continue to mature both in the in the ring and on the microphone. I'm not saying Rhodes isn't good in the ring or on the mic, I am saying that he still has room to improve, which is insane because he is already extremely good and I can't wait to see how good hes going to be.
Lets not forget that over the past number of years WWE has had trouble with their patience as they have pushed numerous wrestlers to the top too fast, with Allberto Del Rio being a recent example. Del Rio is a guy that in his first year and a half on the main roster of the WWE won the 2011 Royal Rumble, 2011 Raw MITB, and WWE Championship twice. That is a very impressive resume and yet Del Rio was and still isn't over with the majority of the fans because he was shoved down their throats repeatedly.
Cody Rhodes is definitely not the same as Alberto Del Rio, but he has only found his niche in the WWE over the past year and I don't want to see the same thing that happened to Del Rio happen to him.
WWE and the fans in this case just need to show a little patience.
Lastly, the Mid-Card needs Cody Rhodes to be its face. It needs him to be there over the next few years to win and lose Intercontinental Championships and bring the best out of guys like Seth Rollins, Richy Steamboat, and Mike Dalton who are just making their way up to main roster, so that they can become the faces of the division and Rhodes can eventually ascend to the Main-Event.
Patience is an art WWE has lost and is something that needs to be found and used in the case of Cody Rhodes. It is also something fans need to find as well because its better in the long run.
So I will ask again, whats the rush?

Frizzell put life and soul into animated characters
Of all the adjectives to describe Wellington animator and director Euan Frizzell, the word "kind" makes the most appearances in conversation with his family, friends and the hundreds of colleagues he supported and mentored.
Frizzell's award-winning career spanned more than 30 years and ran the gamut from traditional 2-D animation to 3-D computer animation and 3-D stop-frame work, VFX and mixed-media (animation and live action) for the global television, motion picture and advertising industries.
A celebrated storyteller, Frizzell worked on the globally popular The WotWots television series and directed animated adaptations of children's books for television and film. These included DVD collections The Magical World of Margaret Mahy and Hairy Maclary, the claymation television series Oscar and Friends, and more than 200 animated television commercials.
This year, despite struggling with the bowel cancer that was to take his life, Frizzell waved his directorial wand over the animated series RuggerTales for the Small Blacks television series, and completed work for a DVD compilation of Mahy poems and stories called Rumbustifications.
His special interest lay in character and character animation.
"When animated characters live for more than a few shots, they inevitably develop lives of their own," he once told an interviewer. "When that starts to happen, you begin to get a soul in the character and something you really work with. It becomes a personal piece of expression and collaboration with the character, which is a huge amount of fun."
So prodigious was the 58-year-old's talent, and his output, that he received several international awards. Of particular pride were the accolades for his 1991 adaptation of Mahy's The Great White Man-Eating Shark, which paved the way for directing another four Mahy tales. Collected on a 1994 volume of The Magical World of Margaret Mahy, they reached platinum sales. Frizzell then animated characters for A Tall, Long Faced Tale, a documentary about the late Mahy.
Born on the Canterbury Plains, the son of farmers Noel and Win, Frizzell moved to Wellington in the mid 1970s to study for a diploma in visual communication at Wellington Polytechnic.
He bought a second-hand 8mm movie camera and began experimenting with animation.
By the time he graduated, in 1975, he had found his niche and began working as an animator and cameraman.
Frizzell worked at England's pioneering Halas & Batchelor animation studio, including work on the critically acclaimed feature film Heavy Metal (1980). Back in Wellington, he launched his own animation company, Gnome Productions, with producer/managing director Shaun Bell.
He specialised in children's films, such as The Wizard and his Magic Spells, Shopping with a Crocodile and Oscar and Friends.
His adaptation of the stories of Kiwi author Lynley Dodd really won the hearts and minds of fans. Narrated by actress Miranda Harcourt, the Hairy Maclary television series became the bestselling Kiwi video title of 1998 and continues to delight a new generation of fans.
Frizzell's feature film legacy also included work in the Glenn Standring horror story The Irrefutable Truth About Demons and Jonathan King's Under the Mountain.
Frizzell helped establish the AnimFXNZ conference which is held annually in Wellington and attracts leading figures in animation, gaming and design industries, including Hollywood studios such as Disney and Pixar.
Dedicated to his family and work till the end, Frizzell was checking the animation of a snail days before he died at Mary Potter Hospice.
The gifted animator and insightful director was a loving husband and father and possibly the kindest person in the New Zealand animation/film industry.

Mexican horror has been coming on strong over the last few years, and of course we here in the States are just biding our time before remaking every single one of their best offerings into a homogenized snoozefest with a marketable hot young cast.
We first told you about We Are What We Are (or Somos Lo Que Hay) several weeks ago in the fashion of a few atmospheric stills. Now it's time to bring a little of the red stuff for you image fiends out there.
Dig on the new stills below, and look for more as soon as we get it!
"A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three sons destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but with a terrible challenge – how to survive. For they are cannibals. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies… and the victims have always been provided by the father. Now that he is gone, who will hunt? Who will lead them? How will they slake their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenage misfit who seems far from ready to accept the challenge… But without human meat the family will die.
Shocking, bloody, and deeply moving, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE is a remarkable reinvention of the horror genre – a visceral and powerfully emotional portrait of a family bound by a terrible secret hunger and driven by monstrous appetites."

"Palestinian" Broadcasting Company Being Sued for War Crimes, Incitement to Murder Jews
An Israel-based international lawfare group is filing a class-action suit against the heads of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation for inciting viewers to murder Jews.
Shurat HaDin-The Israel Law Center intends to sue Riyad al-Hassan and Ahmed Assaf for war crimes at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, after collecting thousands of signatures from plaintiffs, according to a video on its website and Facebook page.
STOP PALESTINIANS INCITEMENT TO MURDER, Shurat Hadin, March 2, 2016:
Shurat HaDin is going on the offense against those inciting to murder Jews. The extremist broadcasts on Palestinian Television have broken records in recent months. In the present wave of terror, many terrorists have been spurred into action after seeing provocative programs that call explicitly to kill Israelis.
Shurat HaDin has initiated a worldwide campaign to prosecute the heads of Palestinian Television for incitement. There is precedent for a complaint such as this: The Rwanda War Crimes Tribunal ruled that incitement to murder and genocide is a war crime. Our goal is to recruit thousands of individuals from around the world to join in complaint against the heads of the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation. We are preparing to submit the complaint in the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
To join the complaint and demand the prosecution of the heads of Palestinian Television for war crimes go HERE.
<Stop Palestinian Television's Incitement to Murder!
Join thousands of others and demand the prosection of Palestinian broadcasters for war crimes in the Hague.

Hone keeps the flame burning, but the rest?
Though John Key had a brain fade about the 1981 Springbok Tour, Trish Parata, now Hekia, remembers clearly. She was president of the Waikato Students Union and actively involved in the anti-tour movement.
Also heavily involved was a Ngapuhi radical by the name of Hone Harawira. He'd taken part in a variety of protests over different Maori issues, along with a mate of his - a hot-headed young activist by the name of Shane Jones.
So what happened to them? Today, Education Minister Hekia Parata is in the midst of an annus horribilis, using a combination of management-speak, departmental jargon, and educational psychobabble to defend a school system that many see as increasing the divide between Maori and Pakeha. Shane Jones, disgraced over ministerial spending and under a cloud over his ministerial dealings with a Chinese millionaire, is going nowhere fast. His latest contribution to the national debate was to oppose his own party's policy and speak on behalf of large corporations against a copyright bill that would allow the satire of copyrighted material.
And Hone Harawira? Just recently he was arrested during a protest to keep state houses. No one can accuse Hone - one of our few politicians, along with Winston, whom voters can identify by first name only - of selling out.
But though Mr Harawira has stuck to his principles, his use of the n-word and terms like "white mofos", not to mention admitting he would feel uncomfortable with his children bringing home a Pakeha, has offended many Kiwis.
So just how radical is Hone Harawira? Not very. Sure - compared to former activists Shane Jones and Hekia Parata, Hone Harawira appears far Left, but that's not difficult. The economic policy of his Mana Party could have been written by Jim Anderton in 1987. For those with short memories, Jim Anderton was a mildly conservative politician. During the 1980s and 90s, every newspaper in the country described Mr Anderton as "Albanian- style Stalinist" and "far-Left" because he suggested we tax the rich slightly more and start a state bank. Kiwibank has been such a success that today even the National Party won't touch it.
Like the Green and Labour parties, Mana favours a capital gains tax. However, Mana is the only party opposed to GST, which makes Hone Harawira about as radical as Labour and National during the 1970s. The reason Mana opposes GST is that it is a flat tax, so penalises poor people. Although Mana's proposal to abolish GST is pie-in- the-sky, you can see Hone's point if you look at how the proportion of corporate tax and the tax paid by the wealthiest 20 per cent has plummeted since the 1980s, and indirect taxes such as GST have skyrocketed.
Mana's solution to abolishing GST is to bring in a financial transaction tax - first mooted by a bunch of Social Credit weirdos driving Skodas and now openly advocated by crazies like the president of France. If you want to know how this much-maligned tax, also known as a "Hone Heke tax", would work, go to an automatic banking machine. Every time you make a transaction you pay a small fee. If you travel overseas and change money, you also pay a financial transaction tax, except that foreign exchange dealers call it commission. When a bank taxes you on a transaction it's called responsible financial management. When Hone Harawira suggests that the government do the same, it's crazy Maori radical activism.
Because his party currently rates at less than 1 per cent, Labour and the Greens don't have to worry too much about Hone Harawira. In 2011, Phil Goff ruled out working with him post- election. So far, David Shearer hasn't mentioned any possible relationship with Mana. But he would be foolish to follow Mr Goff's lead. If Labour does eventually end up in government, one of its first jobs should be to address the dreadful poverty in places like the Far North. It might be a good start if they had the local MP on board. Labour may even find that with a meaningful kaupapa to keep him busy, Hone Harawira could turn out to be quite a reasonable rebel after all.

'The Showtune Mosh Pit' for July 16th, 2014
Overheard last weekend under the showtune
video screens at Sidetrack and The Call:
We've reached the midpoint of summer! And last Sunday as scheduled, "The Last Ship" sailed from the Bank Of America Theatre for points east, with 2015 Tony Awards dancing in the minds of some hopeful well-wishers. Unfortunately, some local productions will also be closing. The well-regarded production of "Assassins" from Kokandy Productions (at Theater Wit) and Chris Lemmon's salute to his father, "Jack Lemmon Returns" (at the Royal George Theatre) both close this Sunday, July 20. The TimeLine Theatre Company production of the rarely seen Marc Blitzstein musical "Juno" closes on July 27. I'd say that any and all of these deserve your business. Attention must be paid!
But new productions have opened to take their places. The theater for young audiences production of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's "Seussical" seems to have been brilliantly realized by the resources of Chicago Shakespeare Theater (through August 17, daytimes). And let's face it, who wouldn't want to hear George Andrew Wolff (pictured here with Lillian Castillo) sing the beautiful "Alone In The Universe?"
Slightly less well-received is the world premiere of the adult but innocent "The Beverly Hillbillies: The Musical" at Munster's Theatre At The Center (through August 10), with James Harms, Kelly Anne Clark, Summer Naomi Smart and John Stemberg as Jed, Granny, Elly Mae and Jethro. (Don't worry, there's a large cast of characters actors supporting them, too!) Gregg Opelka of the long-running "Tommy Guns' Garage" on South Wabash has written the score for a show that's sure to become a hit with community groups in many flyover states. Folks older than me love these characters. The TV show was phenomenally popular in its day, too. There's a market for this, make no mistake about it. Well played.
Speaking of homespun, last fall's well-regarded American Blues Theater production of "Hank Williams: Lost Highway" is being brought back to the Greenhouse Theater Center for a remount, playing July 25 through August 31 and once again starring Matt Brumlow as the troubled and ill-fated Country-Western superstar. Damon Kiely directs, with Malcolm Ruhl and Michael Mahler as music director and conductor. If you loved it last year, and especially if you missed it, you better hurry this year! "Hey, Good Lookin'," indeed.
Not homespun, but certainly wholesome, is the off-Broadway hit from the 1960s, "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown." In a fun twist, Theatre-Hikes - Chicago is presenting the show outdoors (you'll be moving around before the show and at intermission!). And there are two places to see it. The show will be performed on July 26 and 27 at the North Park Village Nature Center (Pulaski and Peterson), and each Saturday and Sunday in August at the Morton Arboretum in west/southwest suburban Lisle. Performances are 1:00 pm, and feature Cullen Rogers, Kristen McGuire, Marissa Druzbanski, Brett Taylor, Tyler Sonkin and Nicholas Druzbanski.
Somewhat less wholesome than these is Dan Studney and Kevin Murphy's musical comedy "Reefer Madness," a popular title these days. Cult Camp Productions is mounting a production for the ecletic Mayne Stage in Rogers Park, playing August 8, 15, 17, 21 and 22 (only), directed by Corey L. Mills. Sarah Jenks music directs.
On Saturday nights in August (the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th), the Jeff Award-winning actor, pianist, writer and entertainer Bill Larkin will be holding court at Davenport's Piano Bar And Cabaret at 10:30 pm, in a show of original musical comedy material called "Nothing To Say." As perhaps you know, that's far from the truth. I'll bet his Howl At The Moon audiences have only caught a glimpse of his full performance talent. You don't want to miss this.
A Chicago premiere will be produced by NightBlue Performing Arts Company at summer's end. "Clemente: The Legend Of 21," about baseball superstar Roberto Clemente, will run August 22 through September 14 at Stage 773, written and directed by New Yorker Luis Caballero. The show has been seen off-Broadway and in Washington, D.C., under the title, "DC-7, The Roberto Clemente Story." Modesto Lacen and Lorraine Velez star, with Jonathan Amaro as Young Roberto. Chicagoan Aaron Benham music directs.
There's a world premiere children's musical opening at the Broadway Playhouse this fall, playing November 22, 2014 through January 4, 2015, courtesy of Broadway In Chicago and Emerald City Theatre. It's "Hansel & Gretel: A Wickedly Delicious Musical Treat," with a book by Emerald City's Ernie Nolan and music and lyrics by Grammy-nominated kid's rock artist Justin Roberts. Sounds intriguing!
But before we can get to that, Chicago will be the first major city in the U. S. to see the scaled-down and partially rewritten version of the Tony Award-winning "Titanic," first seen in London and intended for a Toronto and New York production this year, which production has now been postponed. There was a minor eruption of excitement when Griffin Theatre announced this coup last week. Directed by Scott Weinstein (Chicago Shakespeare's "Seussical") and music directed by Elizabeth Doran (TimeLine's "Juno"), the show by Maury Yeston and Peter Stone, revised by Don Stephenson, will play October 18-December 7 at Theater Wit. It's rare for a show that won the Tony for Best Musical to be reworked less than 20 years after it was first produced, but with a cast originally consisting of 45 actors, and with countless sets and scenes, it has lately been viewed as un-produceable. We'll get to see what all the rumors are about, before the Big Apple does. Get your napkins ready to wave the ship out of port.
Lastly, it seems to be Showtune Week at Ravinia, the north suburban outdoor summer musical festival. Last Sunday, opera superstar Deborah Voigt appeared there in a program of Broadway songs, "Something Wonderful," accompanied by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On Thursday and Friday of this week, the CSO will again play the score to the film version of "West Side Story" live, while the voices of Marni Nixon, Rita Moreno et al. sing out from the original soundtrack (big screens set up for your viewing pleasure, of course). And this Sunday, July 20, I will be on the Ravinia stage as one of the Lakeside Singers, who will join the Chicago Chorale, the CSO and Broadway soloists Betsy Wolfe ("Bullets Over Broadway"), Ryan Silverman (a long stint as Raoul in "The Phantom Of The Opera") and Ben Crawford ("Les Miserables") in "An Evening Of Lerner And Loewe," conducted by symphonic pops expert Steven Reineke. Can't get a ticket to the Goodman Theatre's "Brigadoon?" Head up to Highland Park. We've got you.
So that's the Mosh Pit, peeps! I hope your cool, cool summer is going well. Don't panic, it will be warm for a bit longer! And there's plenty to do and see. Perhaps I'll see you, under the video screens.....-PWT

Umm I still don't understand why destiny is rated T for teen, can someone please elaborate?
It means nothing Teen rating just means that there's no M rated features like Blood Sex and Drugs
I don't understand it either. Why are games still rated when 8 year olds are playing gta?
I'd have liked it to be M, but more like the original halo. Not too much blood and gore but enough to make you feel like you just killed the shit out of something. I was pretty disappointed by the lack of blood. Not that I think it takes away from the game at all. It just would have be nice.
If the blood squirts out green; it is still rated T. It is coincided unrealistic blood. So, it could get gory(?).
No cursing, at all.
If you do any form of violence; hit something, shoot something it is automatically rated t for teen.
The violence in it, having to kill things and may be subject to language from other players

Camp Bliss at Pushkar runs from 23 October to 1 November 2017, and offers you luxury camping and the ultimate way to experience the more traditional aspects of Pushkar Fair, one of Rajasthan's most spectacular events.
The Pushkar Fair official programme events and fairground will run from 29 October to 4 November. The full moon night, Kartik Purnima 2017, the focus of the religious and pilgrimage activities, is on 4 November.
From Tuesday 31 October to 7 November we will be in the Hadoti region with some of our guests for the authentic local mela and Kartik Purnima celebrations at Chandrabhaga Fair, near Jhalawar; a chance to capture the atmosphere of the trading fairs of earlier times, and explore a less-visited area of Rajasthan.
For feedback about our camps, see comments from people who have stayed at Camp Bliss >
For availability please see our rates and booking page >
23 October Groups of camels, herders, horses and traders begin to appear from out of the desert and set up camp in the dunes around Pushkar. For some, the journey may have taken up to three weeks.
24 October More camels, nomads, herders, horses, farmers and traders are arriving. Some groups walk to the fair. Others arrive with camel or bullock carts or come by truck. The gathering is rapidly growing to immense proportions. This is the best time for photography and the time when you may move around and observe the scene most freely.
25 October Arrivals continue. The numbers of horses is increasingly rapidly. Camels are being inspected and thoroughbred Merwari horses put through their paces for purchasers. Trading is already taking place, although a deal may take several days to conclude as vendors hold out for the best price.
26 October On the dunes, the gathering of camels is reaching maximum size. There are lively discussions as groups of vendors and purchasers meet around their animals and negotiators help to arrange deals. The best prices are achieved in a year when the monsoon has been good.
27 October By now the tented bazaars are a hive of activity and the fairground is being set up. The scene on the dunes is at its most crowded. Some of the camel herds begin to leave as they conclude their business, but many camel carts are arriving bringing people with business at the fair. Holy men and religious groups are more numerous in the town each day.
28 October By now a great horse trading area has been established. In some years there have been around four thousand horses; yearlings, horses used by farmers, the white horses which are auspicious for weddings, and fine Marwari horses from stud farms all over Rajasthan and the Punjab. Buyers and onlookers gather round as owners show them off.
29 October More and more people are arriving.The fair is traditionally a great meeting place where even marriages may be arranged. In the stadium the Official Program of camel races, displays and competitions begins.
30 October The scene on the dunes is increasingly busy and chaotic, with camel cart rides, itinerant musicians and vendors. Around the stadium there are cultural activities, competitions and bazaars. Camels and traders will disappear back into the desert as the week progresses and their business is concluded.
31 October – Pushkar Fair The town, temples and bazaars are becoming more crowded. The colourful fairground attracts huge crowds with stalls, street vendors, sideshows and ferris wheels. Stadium events continue.
31 October – Chandrabhaga Fair– This auspicious Ekadashi day is the first night of our 2017 visit to Chandrabhaga Fair, a popular day for initiating rituals and customs relating to marriage as the ancient walled city of Jhalarapatan begins its week of festivities. The first groups of camels, cattle and sheep arrive with farmers and villagers from all over the region for the fair. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
1 November – Pushkar Fair Great numbers of colourfully-dressed villagers are arriving from all over the region to bathe in the holy lake. The fairground is going full swing. A craft fair is set up with handicraft stalls.
1 November – Chandrabhaga Fair– At Chandrabhaga Fair, the vast mela ground is seeing more arrivals and animal trading is beginning. In the town celebrations are centred around the 1,000 year-old Sun temple. Perfect mornings have a sense of the old days with a very traditional scene. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
2 November – Pushkar Fair Pilgrims throng the streets of Pushkar and shop in the fairground bazaars as the town prepares for the Kartik Purnima religious festival. In the mela stadium competitions and events are in full swing.
2 November – At Chandrabhaga Fair the gathering is still growing as herders arrive from across the river with their animals to set up camp. For local farming communities, this is one of the best shopping opportunities of the year, a place to find old-style utensils and implements. See more about Chandrabagha Fair >
3 November – Pushkar Fair The temples, ashrams and dharamshalas (pilgrim rest houses) of the holy town are busy with pilgrims. There are bhajans (devotional hymns) and ceremonies in the temples, and fairground rides and stalls to be enjoyed at the mela.
3 November – At Chandrabhaga Fair official events now begin with cultural programmes and Deep Daan on the river. A huge temporary bazaar springs up close to the fortified city. Old wooden ferris wheels are turned by hand and acrobats, storytellers and performers gather crowds. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
4 November – Kartik Purnima Today thousands of devotees will bathe in the holy lake, believed to have been created when the god Brahma dropped a sacred lotus flower to earth.
14 November – Chandrabhaga Fair– Kartik Purnima Today is the most religious day. Residents offer free water and help to pilgrims on the streets and the Sun temple is a focus for colourful activities. Ceremonies and diyas (lamps) on the sacred Chandrabhaga river. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
4 November is the last day of the Pushkar Fair Official Programme and is the day of the Kartik Purnima religious festival, when many thousands of devotees throng the town to visit the temples and circumambulate the holy lake. At Chandrabhaga there is pilgrimage activity and holy bathing at Chandravati as Kartik Purnima is celebrated in a simpler style, an opportunity to experience the age-old devotions and rituals of the auspicious day.
5 November to 7 November – Chandrabagha and Hadoti
Guests travelling with us to Chandrabagha Fair can explore Hadoti, one of Rajasthan's least-visited and most rewarding regions.
5 November – Chandrabhaga Fair – Kartik Purnima Pilgrims are leaving but the number of animals is till increasing and the mela ground is a beautiful scene for photographers and observers. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
6 November – Chandrabhaga Fair – Another great day to see animal trading, with camels being taken to the riverside to drink then brought back to the mela ground. The beautifully-attired Raika men huddle in groups around their campfires at dusk, when hundreds of cooking fires billowing smoke can be seen from a single spot. Animals can now be seen being taken back by their new owners. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
7 November – Chandrabhaga Fair – A day to watch the herds of animals departing from the ground. The Raika control large herds of camels by voice with extraordinary skill. Very few animals remain by night. See more about Chandrabhaga Fair >
