Princess Madeleine of Sweden's London move confirmed
May 29, 2015 - 14:46 BST hellomagazine.com Princess Madeleine of Sweden and her husband Chris O'Neill are officially moving to London later this year
Princess Madeleine and her family will soon reside in London, it has been confirmed. According to the Swedish media outlet The Local, the royal court announced on Wednesday that Madeleine, her husband Chris O'Neill and daughter Princess Leonore will all be living in the British capital before the end of the year.
"The whole family intends to move to England at some point in autumn," press spokeswoman Margareta Thorgren told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. "The plan has always been that the family eventually would move on. Chris' business is mainly in England."
It has been confirmed that Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill are setting up home in London
The confirmation comes after several months of speculation that the princess and her husband of two years were going to make London their home. While Chris and Madeleine had been living in New York, the city where they first met, they returned to Sweden in December with the intention of finding a new base in Europe.
If the move does take place in the autumn, it will come after Madeleine has welcomed her second child in her home country this summer.
It was confirmed in February that 32-year-old Madeleine, who is currently eight months pregnant, would give birth in Sweden.
Madeleine and Chris will be moving with their daughter Leonore and their second baby
Living in London will mean that both Madeleine and Chris will be nearer their families – and Princess Leonore and her little brother or sister will be nearer their grandparents, aunts and cousins.
According to The Local, Chris' mother Eva O'Neill lives in central London, while his sister Tatyana "is based on an eighteenth century estate just outside the city".
Sweden's Expressen newspaper has also previously reported that 40-year-old Chris has a "large circle of friends" in the UK.
The happy couple tied the knot in June 2013
Princess Madeleine moved to New York in 2010, shortly after the end of her engagement to Jonas Bergstrom.
In 2012 she crossed paths with London-born financier Chris and the pair went on to marry in June 2013.
They welcomed their first child in February 2014, and on 19 December announced the happy news they are expecting their second baby.

Designer, author and retailer Abigail Ahern has a reputation for her uncompromising take on interiors. Obsessed with interiors, pushes the boundaries to totally reinvent spaces, and to inspire you to create a home you'll never want to leave.
Make a statement with our industrial-chic metal and wooden floor lamp.


High living and low life in the hospitality capital, brought to you by Stella Artois, "serving rogues and knaves since 1366".
Some would say that people like us who go to restaurants and bars just to make fun of the illiterates who put together the menus and signs are cheap and nasty. We say, no, we're comfortably nasty, and if you don't know the difference between a brasserie and a brassiere, you're in trouble. With this in mind, our Hospo Typo of the Week this week goes to a relatively new business in - according to their promotional business card - Warring Taylor Street in Wellington. Funny, whenever we go there the street always seems quite peaceful. Offender identified at the end of this email.
Huge weekend just passed for Wellington, with two great games from the different rugby codes in the one weekend, and a significant financial boost to the Wellington hospo community. One has to wonder, though, at the commercial acumen of the operators of the Burger King in Lambton Quay, turning down thousands of dollars' worth of post-game trade by closing early.
On the subject of real food, Brava is undergoing a bit of a revitalisation, all documented in their excellent Brava Bulletin. In the spirit of Telethon, we'd like to see other restaurants get more info flowing to their customers with these sorts of publications. Award-winner Len Baldwin has moved across the road from New City to become Brava's new head chef. Will Kinney and Brava partner returns to the corner of Courtney and Cambridge as Manager, with fellow Brava partner John McGrath back on the floor for half the week before he heads off to the Cannes Film Festival. Belinda Radcliffe (ex-Felix, and we miss her) is day manager.
Brava recently hosted the Wellington launch of the Laugh! Festival, with many acts appearing upstairs at Downstage. Current show up there is Ken Duncum's Waterloo Sunset, which we heartily recommend, even for those with only a passing knowledge of what would seem to be a central theme: punk (it's actually more about displacement and need to belong). Top stuff on a great set (a Wellington boatshed circa 1980) with a terrific cast spouting great dialogue, with lots of violence, swearing and smoking.
Opening this weekend is the major Telecom Prospect 2001 exhibition of NZ art at City gallery, alongside the wonderful Denis O'Connor show in the Michael Hirschfeld Gallery.
As always, way too much to do in the Hospitality Capital.
TAPPING THE PULSE appears every WEDNESDAY through LOOP and SCOOP.

Girls' Generation's Yoona, Hong Jonghyun and more to visit Lim Siwan next week
It has been about 2 months since Lim Siwan joined the army last July. Do you miss him? By the way, do you remember what he said just before his enlistment? Yeah, he said "I'm never afraid of joining the army. Why? Because Yoona will must visit me. I'm sure she will be the first person to visit me. That's why I'm looking forward to joining the army". And at the time, Yoona said she will.
So, it's time for Yoona to keep the promise. According to actor Park Young Woon, who has appeared in "The King Loves" with Lim Siwan and Yoona, various actors of the drama will visit Lim Siwan next week. Check out what the actor said.
As "The King Loves" is a pre-produced drama, we've already finished filming the drama. However, I'm still maintaining a close relationship with actors who filmed the drama together with. A total of 12 actors including Hong Jonghyun, Yoona, Kim Kyungjin and me often meet each other and have a good time together. We have a gathering at least twice a month. We eat together, and we go bowling. And we meet in an online chat room too. We decided to visit Lim Siwan next week.

I'm sure you're very curious about k-pop trainee's daily schedule. Well, it differs from case to case, but let me explain about the general case. If you become a k-pop trainee, you should follow the daily schedule below. 8 a.m. : School attendance As most of k-pop trainees are students, they should go to school in the morning. They try not to skip breakfast if possible because it's important for them to manage their health. At their school, they take classes just like the other ordinary students, but they usually listen to music during break time to make preparations for their weekly test. They sometimes write song lyrics, while there are also some passionate trainees who practice singing and dancing at their school. 5 p.m. : Go to practicing room After school is over, trainees go to their practicing rooms. The first thing they do when they arrive at their practicing rooms is give their cellphones and diaries to people who manage them. They get their cellphones back after the
The Truth About WGM: Were Taemin and Naeun Really Dating?
Have you watched "We Got Married"? As you know, the program is about male and female stars who entered their imaginary married life. Well, some of you may wonder if the couple's love for each other is real. Let's talk about the truth about "We Got Married." Is WGM Scripted? Before filming the program, the production crew delivers scripts to the cast. However, the scripts of "We Got Married" are totally different from those of dramas or movies. The scripts of "We Got Married" do not have any detailed words. They just include general explanation of situation. For example, "It's the day you move into your new apartment," "It's the day you introduce your wife to your friends," etc. On the basis of the scripts, the cast prepares for clothes, accessories and more. And during filming the program, the production crew occasionally intervenes in the couple's dating because the young cast who is unused to a real variety show such as SHINee's Taemin and APink's Naeun needs
Kpop Stars' Luxurious Home: Where Do They Live?
Do you want to know where do Kpop stars live? Well, as you expect, top Kpop stars are financially able to purchase high-priced houses. Let's take a look at Kpop stars' luxurious houses. JYJ's Kim Junsu has his villa "Brown Stone Legend" in Samseong-dong, Seoul. It costs about 2.6 million dollars, while his team mate Kim Jae Joong also lives in there as Junsu's good neighbor. Actually, before being independent of his parents, he has lived in a detached house placed in Paju city with parents. The house has all the luxurious items like fountain and saloon bar. It costs about 1.6 million dollars, and Junsu gave the house to his mother as a present. BoA lives in "Sangji Ritzville" placed in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. Girls' Generation's Jessica is her neighbor. The 230 square meter villa has three rooms and three bathrooms, while it costs about 1.8 million dollars. The picture below is the exterior. Big Bang's TOP is also well known as an owner of a lux
The real reason why EXO's Kris, Luhan and Tao left SM
In 2014, EXO's Chinese member Kris filed a lawsuit against SM entertainment, insisting that his exclusive contract with the agency should be nullified. And he finally left the agency, while another Chinese EXO member Luhan also filed a lawsuit against SM in the year. And in 2015, Tao decided to leave the agency too. After filing lawsuits, they said "SM didn't respect us at all. SM has treated us like subjects of control and determined our schedules unilaterally. And we had economic difficulties despite much work." Well, I think many of k-pop fans may consider unfair contract between SM and the Chinese members as the main reason why the idol singers filed lawsuits. You know, it was not the first time that SM's idol singer filed a lawsuit against the agency. The former TVXQ members Kim Junsu, Park Yoochun and Kim Jaejoong had been in a legal battle with SM for about 3 years, while Hangeng of Super Junior has also filed a lawsuit against SM, insisting that his contract wit
Secret about kpop idol stars' microphones
Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it's difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there's a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are. Flesh-Colored Microphone You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's

Letter: Lakewood #1 in the State for Bikini Coffee? – The Suburban Times
Letter: Lakewood #1 in the State for Bikini Coffee?
By David Anderson
Should the Oakbrook area Black Star Coffee stand become a bikini barista hangout/drive-by/dispensary . . . for coffee and other things they sell, Lakewood would slide into fourth place state-wide in the "Ordering-Espresso-Can-Be-Fun!" category.
Even though two "Grab-n-Go" Everett locations had arrests for two much show, not enough go, still it's revealing that Everett remains at the top – less conspicuous in size than 2nd place Seattle, the two neighboring cities boasting 13 and 9 coffee stands along their respective strips.
Next is Kent with 8 stands — and two arrests recently for violation of the Adult Entertainment Ordinance (I thought they were selling coffee?) — then Tacoma and finally Lakewood round out the state leaders.
Noteworthy, if the Black Star becomes a bikini coffee bar, Lakewood will climb from a pantywaist into a tie with its bigger city just to the north with sex, er six, expressive espressos.
Air Way Heights finishes at the bikini-bottom with only one night stand for coffee but it certainly has aspirations given the "Sin City Espresso" name, complete with a Vegas, Nevada banner on its website and pictures of what they offer.
Six bikini coffee stands for Lakewood will mean this itzy-bitsy-teenie-weenie city won't be any longer as it will now boast the title 'first in thirst' for the entire State of Washington with the most scantily-clad coffee pourers per populace.
Not too shabby for a city hoping to expose itself to the country what with a video — that might now have to be re-edited to include these Points of Interest — the Lakewood Chamber produced a while back featuring our local gambling and casino watering holes.
Though a barista in a string-bikini rankles some, what with Lakewood ranking Number One, CBS News might want to pay a return visit to Washington to run a follow-up story on our state's incidents of indecency and prostitution that always seems to stir the controversy — not to mention the coffee — with the establishment of such establishments.
Featuring our city's new notoriety, we'd have all the free publicity we could most certainly use in this watered-down economy.
At first glance, or blush, it's remarkable how serving coffee in such a small shanty — a drive-through at that — can cause such a brew-haha until, upon further inspection, you realize maybe it's not about what's in the cup.
Take Cowgirls Espresso for example (yes, Lakewood has one of those too), judged "Sexiest Coffee Shop" in America by Maxim Magazine. Just this past April 15 the cowgirls attended the Fort Lewis Sponsors Dinner where they helped serve. Food.
Just ogle on Google the number of times crime is connected with certain kinds of coffee.
So what can be done, other than saving room for scream?
Last month, the City Commission in Shelton enacted a six-month moratorium on applications for new sexually oriented businesses (SOB's – Lakewood's own abbreviation). Imagine including "drive-through coffee stands featuring scantily clad employees" in the SOB category. But they are. In Shelton.
Another option might be to apply the three-prong standard or Miller Test which would, to my way of thinking, read as follows, with only minor editing (parenthesis) on my part:
One: whether the average person (I think I qualify), applying contemporary community standards (see, community does matter), would find the service, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest – "having or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters."
Well, it sure as heck ain't the coffee the purveyors themselves are promoting.
Two: "whether the work depicts or describes in a patently offensive way -"considered to be openly, plainly, or clearly visible as offensive to the viewing public" – sexual conduct . . . (I deleted the rest of this definition since this is a family newspaper but certainly some of the links provided in this article should give you an idea).
Three: "whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
That's certainly not Rembrandt's in the window. Being a drive-through there's no time to be reading literary works. It's doubtful those in the bikinis are gonna get elected looking like that – right?
And scientific value? Have you tasted that coffee?
If the economy get better this will disappear.
What you should worry about is if JBLM get back to full strenth is when the strip Clubs come back and who will get the bribes.. oops I mean the Tax money
What gives anyone the right to legislate their version of morality? Why should everyone be forced to live by the same standards? Just because some people do not appreciate or approve of some thing, does that mean everyone should be denied the privilege? I do not drink coffee so I have never visited a barista stand (bikini or otherwise). Does this mean that I have the right to say that all barista stands should be put out of business? I think not and am quite certain that most coffee drinkers would agree. Mr. Anderson makes a point of saying that 2 stands in Everett have had arrests, but he only mentions the remaining 11 stands in that city in passing. Why must we always focus on the negative rather than accentuate the positive?
There is a simple concept that has been successful for many years in situations such as this. If you do not like what is being offered at an establishment, do not go there, but do not deny others the right to go if they choose.
In writing this article, as one person I am most certainly not in the position to legislate a particular version of morality on "everyone," nor am I "forcing (anyone) to live by the same standards," much less suggesting anyone be "put out of business." However, there are those who are charged with related responsibilities – your elected representatives as the following shows.
Lakewood Ordinance #358 (November, 2004) consisted of 22 pages that included references to statistics nation-wide concerning the harmful secondary effects of Sexually Oriented Businesses (SOB's – Lakewood's own designation) upon communities; findings of a variety of stakeholders including "representatives from businesses, educational institutions, community leaders, and representatives from the adult entertainment industry;" research and study by the Planning Advisory Board citing case law and neighboring city's ordinances affecting adult entertainment facilities; and the resulting action, based on this research, found that "an improperly operated SOB can constitute a public or moral nuisance."
This research was conducted in keeping with Lakewood's purpose "to protect, foster and support the goals and ideals of schools, religious and public service organizations serving the Lakewood community."
Given this coming Friday, May 17th, is Lakewood City Council Candidate filing deadline, I would suggest that your prospective representatives be asked to provide their position on bikini barista businesses and other sexually-oriented establishments within the city even as the City of Shelton has recently and the City of Lakewood has previously.

Q: Swapping a character for another in Regex/Javascript I'm looking to do something like:
var a = "This is an A B pattern: ABABA";
a.replace("A", "B");
a.replace("B", "A");

and have it return:
    => "This is an B A pattern: BABAB"
instead of:
    => "This is an A A pattern: AAAAA"
My first thought is to do something like:
a.replace("A", "improbablePattern");
a.replace("B", "A");
a.replace("improbablePattern", "B");

How should I really be doing it?

A: You could pass a function to your .replace() call with the regex that matches both, like this:
var a = "This is an A B pattern: ABABA";
a = a.replace(/(A|B)/g, function(a, m) { return m == "A" ? "B" : "A"; });
alert(a); //alerts "This is an B A pattern: BABAB"

You can try it out here

A: You need to do all replacements at once. You can use something like this to do that:
String.prototype.translate = function(translation) {
    var names = [];
    for (var search in translation) {
        if (translation.hasOwnProperty(search)) {
            names.push(search.replace(/([.\\+*?[^\]$(){}=!<>|:\-])/g, "\\$1"));
        }
    }
    var re = new RegExp("(?:" + names.join("|") + ")", "g");
    return this.replace(re, function(val) { return translation[val]; });
}

var text = "This is an A B pattern: ABABA",
    translation = {
        "A": "B",
        "B": "A"
    };
text = text.translate(translation);

Here translation is a mapping from old onto new values. Use this with the here defined translate method on strings to do the translation. The property names of the passed translation object are used to build a regular expression of the form (?:name1|name2|…|nameN). That regular expression is then used for the replacement while an additional function is used to return the new value that corresponds to the matched value.

A: This is not something that a regex is suited for. No matter how you turn it you need at least three separate replace operations, which means compiling and executing three regexes, and finding a provably non-colliding pattern for the intermediate replacement is a bother. No, in this case you should take the string apart yourself and translate all the characters you want in one go. Much more efficient and reasonable.
(That is, unless Javascript has some Perl-like tr operator that I was unaware of.)

Each year, more than 350,000 dog bite victims are seen in emergency rooms across the country, and approximately 850,000 victims receive medical attention. CDC data collected in the USA between 2001 and 2003 indicated there were 4.5 million dog bite victims per year, and those numbers are increasing.
Most of these victims are children.
Get it? Dog attacks are no joke.
Today I will discuss some ways to survive a dog attack and keep yourself from getting bitten or severely injured. These steps can also be taught to children to help them keep safe.
How do you avoid getting bit by a dog? Start by being polite and respecting the dog's personal space. Never approaching an unfamiliar dog, especially one who's tied or confined behind a fence or in a car. Don't pet a dog—even your own—without letting him see and sniff you first.
Don't disturb a dog while she's sleeping, eating, chewing on a toy, or caring for puppies. Be cautious around strange dogs. Always assume that a dog who doesn't know you may see you as an intruder or a threat.
Pay attention to the dog's body language. Put a safe amount of space between yourself and a dog if you see signals that the dog is uncomfortable and might feel the need to bite. Some of these signals are a tensed body, a stiff tail, pulled back head and/or ears, furrowed brow, and eyes rolled so the whites are visible.
When putting space between yourself and a dog who might bite, never turn your back on him dog and run away. A dog's natural instinct will be to chase and catch you.
When faced with a dog exhibiting signs he is going to bite, resist the impulse to scream and run away. Remain motionless, hands at your sides, and avoid eye contact with the dog. Once the dog loses interest in you, slowly back away until he is out of sight.
If the dog does attack, "feed" him your jacket, purse, bicycle, or anything you can put between yourself and the dog.
If the dog starts to relax, back away slowly but do not turn your back on them. This will give them an opportunity to catch you off guard and bite you from behind.If the dog gets a hold of your arm or leg, stop moving and do no attempt to get away. The dog will tighten his grip on your leg or arm and cause a bigger injury. Pay attention to protecting more important parts of your body.
Do not try to roll away as it will only make the dog bite you even more. Your goal now is to minimize the injuries you will get from the dog bites and survive. Dogs become more aggressive as they see their target fighting back or trying to escape. Pretend to submit to the dog to lessen their grip and tension.
Staying calm and avoiding panic are the first things you must remember when encountering an angry dog. Dogs are man's best friend but sometimes they can turn against man too and you must learn how to read a dog's mind to protect yourself.
P.S. Firearms are not just for protection from aggressive humans. They can be a defense against hostile dogs as well.
You'll find out exactly the steps you must take today to get almost any emergency item as well as guns and ammo for free.

It is home to the world's highest government (is 3650 masl, 300 masl to the city of Cuzco - Peru) and is characterized by a personality unequaled among Andean cities, because the conjunction cultural, religious and political has marked throughout its history. Its location in a basin at the foot of Mount Illimani, the highest mountain and sexy Cordillera Real de los Andes, allows its inhabitants to enjoy incredible and diverse landscapes surrounded by mountains and buildings.
The city of La Paz was founded by Spanish colonists in 1548 under the name of "Nuestra señora de La Paz", referring to the end of a civil war developed between two Spanish sides. This foundation took place in the village of Laja, 35 km in what is today the city of La Paz. Due to inclement weather the Altiplano, three days after the city moved up the river valley Choqueyapu, warmer and populated.
Today La Paz is the most cosmopolitan city in the Andes, with nearly 1 million inhabitants, which in its agglomeration includes two cities, El Alto and La Paz, which coupled with its population of over one million and a half. The city of El Alto is a city record for being the youngest in the country, the high population growth, housing the largest informal fair country (The Fair July 16) and the most influential in recent policy years.
Attractions in the city of La Paz: The Murillo Square, the Witches Market and the Moon Valley, among the most important. Another facet of the city located in the bohemian neighborhood of Sopocachi, with a multitude of bars and cultural centers. Additionally, admire one of the central features of daily life in the city, visit fairs and markets, one of the most important is the Rodriguez market, in the district of San Pedro, very busy during the weekends.
From the city of La Paz are natural wonders like Titicaca Lake and the Madidi National Park, and the most important archaeological site of Bolivia: Tiwanaku. As for adventure tourism the most visited attraction is the "Death road" to Los Yungas - Coroico, where he performs on a mountain bike descent. The proximity of the city of La Paz to the Andes that allowed to pass into snowy mountain climbers as Huayna Potosi and the Group attracted hikers Condoriri and Pre-Columbian Roads of Choro and Takesi.
It is the capital of the department of Potosi, the city is located at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level making it the highest city in the world. It rests at the foot of the hill "Sumaj Orck'o 'or' Cerro Rico', argentiferous mountain that was the most important in the world of the colony, gave rise to most of the silver used by the Spanish crown. According to official records, extracted 45,000 tons of pure silver from Cerro Rico between 1556 and 1783.
Potosi was founded in 1546, generated enormous wealth rapidly, becoming one of the largest cities in the world at the time, with a population of over 200,000 inhabitants. Tradition says that the amount of silver that the Spanish conquistadors found was enough to build a bridge constructed completely silver from Potosi to Europe.
During the battles for the independence of Bolivia, much of the wealth was looted or transferred to Europe or other parts of Spanish rule. By then the population was no more than 10,000 inhabitants.
Like Sucre, Potosí is also on the list of World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO. Attractions: The mines of Cerro Rico, The Mint, Cloister of Santa Teresa.
During the colonial city founded in 1606 as a silver mining center in the Urus region, was originally called "Villa de San Felipe de Austria". Oruro in 1781 led to the first cry for freedom in Latin America, expelling the Spanish and declaring the town as an independent.
Today is one of the smaller cities of the country, however retains its attractive European design aspect of the time, the most important activity is the Carnival of Oruro, declared in 2001 as a "Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Huamanidad" by the great religious and cultural value that unfolds during two days of privateering.
Among the most imporant dances presented in the Carnival of Oruro to be mentioned is "La Diablada", which originated in ancient Andean cult to be malignant, which was later adapted to the devil from the colony, from the Catholic vision.

The result of VTC actuator complete mechanical failure is catastrophic.
The valves from the intake of either cylinder 2&3 or 1&4 WILL result in a tensioner to fail and a fantastic collision of the valve with the piston.
This is exactly what happened to my K24Z3 motor.
Honda took the engine for further investigation and research.
All this at 50K miles.
I hope that you do a recall. I wanna take my car in for the tsb but I'm afraid they are going to charge me if I take it.
i tried to shove the tsb in their face about this but they said its not an issue unless my car really does fail.... ??
Sorry, you had problems but I doubt very much there will be a recall . How many vehicles did this affect ? . It would have to be massive amount for recall or a safety issue which its not .
To bad you don't have pics of the parts, I be interested to see what happened .
Here is my opinion of what happened .
1) If nothing else goes wrong the VTC only allows 50 deg variance in the intake cam . As long as nothing happens to tension the valves can't hit the pistons no matter of cam is 0 -50deg (this is a normal amount during driving ) .
I think what happened to yours is you had tensioner failure maybe both VTC and tensioner . the only way I can see VTC causing a piston to valve issue is if the VTC housing broke apart leading it to more than 50deg movement .
Glad you got your car back an fixed .
Unfortunately, that's how TSB works. When you think maybe Honda can gain a lot (or avoid loosing) goodwill by checking and redo things if necessary to start to give owners the trouble-free experience they expect in a Honda product.
TSB is there to show them how to fix a common problem in hope of saving some diagnostic time. It's not suppose to be a prevention kind of thing (too bad).
As you said, "I think what happened to yours is you had tensioner failure maybe both VTC and tensioner . the only way I can see VTC causing a piston to valve issue is if the VTC housing broke apart leading it to more than 50deg movement", This is the exact case.
Too bad Honda will not show me the parts or the exact reason but only allude to the above.
What I am saying is to watch out when the warranty runs out!
Honda needs another sueing like the Rear Brake Settlement.
You have to remember the VTC is not something the tech can open hood and check it easily , the procedure is to take apart valve train and with compressed air applied to various ports see that VTC is in right position . If your not having any noise I can see why there not going to do anything, even when is only few sec noise it is still going to be hard % wise to prove .
TSB shows how to fix a problem when it breaks, recall is a totally different scenario.
Having the same VTC issue on my 08 Accord "Cold Starts", it started once a month to once in a while at about 58,000 miles and now at 69,000 it drives me nuts at almost every cold start.
I think Honda should do a recall. I'm on my third actuator and still have issues on cold starts. Drives. Me. Nuts.
It seems to me Honda is risking losing a lot of good will with the potential for catastrophic engine failure. I'm sure their decision would be driven by economics - how much does it cost to recall vs. how much does it cost to deal with individual issues as they arise.
What does TSB stand for?
I think Honda should do a recall. I'm on my third actuator and still have issues on cold starts. Drives. Me. Nuts. . . .
If you're on your third VTC, the problem isn't the VTC, it's the tech doing the work.
Also, jfi, the term "recall" is a term of art. A "recall" is an obligation imposed on the manufacturer of the vehicle by the NHTSA to notify the vehicle owner of a safety-related defect. The replacement of a VTC isn't that, although I understand your frustration dealing with the circumstances you described. FWIW, there weren't that many VTC failures, particularly after mid-'09. More importantly, if the work is done correctly, it's a one-time fix.
If you're experiencing this as described, it will be easy to diagnose and repair if you take your car in for service.

Living fraternity - WMCW Eastern Asian Seminar, November 2016
The city-state of Singapore hosted the regional WMCW seminar for Eastern Asia from 13th to 15th November. The 4 WMCW movements from the region took part: ACO from Japan, KaNoJang from Korea, MCW from Taiwan and CFSM from Singapore.
Singapore is a city-state, covering a surface area of 718 km2, with a population of 5.45 million inhabitants, only 3.87 million of which are residents. The city is located in the Malaysian peninsula, surrounded by the islands that make up Indonesia. The climate is equatorial and the population is mostly Chinese, with a minority of Malaysians and Indians. There are 1.34 million foreign workers. The city is futuristic, with many different and often surprisingly shaped buildings, its cleanliness is renowned the world over. It is also a prosperous city, where money is king and the hard working population are kept well under control. The country is a member of the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian countries) made up of approximately 10 countries whose size and living standards vary considerably: Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia.
The local CFSM movement (Christian Family and Social Movement) organised the regional seminar, together with other delegations, on premises belonging to the Saint Theresa parish. You will no doubt remember the theme of the 2013 MMTC General Assembly in Haltern-Am-See: "Let us build a society that is fair, fraternal and sustainable". This is one aspect of the Fraternity theme that was presented. 25 people came together to exchange ideas on fraternity.
In the beginning we found it hard to discuss fraternity because we soon realised that it is a term that is hardly ever used in our respective languages. We speak about love and solidarity, but the idea of fraternity is viewed as somewhat abstract. Discussing fraternity does not seem to make sense in societies, which are constantly encouraging people to be competitive. Aside from the language problem, we realised that a life of fraternity is not easily achieved in this current economic climate and social context, in which individualism is encouraged, and in which all those who do not keep up with the pace are trampled on.
We very often do not even have the time to eat our meals around a table together as families because we all have different work or study schedules (or even private tuition). Moreover, in our countries, the divorce rate has increased considerably over the last few years. There are many different reasons for this. In today's world, a couple both have to go out to work to make a living, working conditions can affect relationships and unemployment can make things difficult for families because they are living off loans. Large families have an important role to play but all tend to distance themselves from one another.
Competition is fierce in companies and employees all tend to see their colleagues as rivals. This is because they are scared of losing their jobs. There are more and more migrant workers in our ageing societies and these people are also seen as rivals because they take our work. The reality is that they actually do jobs that local people do not want to do; dirty and dangerous work, as, for example, in the deserted nuclear plants in Japan. Very often the media take pleasure in publishing stories about foreign people committing crimes. The problem is that they very often refer to the overall rise in crimes committed by foreigners, without actually referring to the actual type of crime. In fact, the main crime committed by foreigners is that they do not have the authorisation to live and work in the respective country. This only contributes to an increase in people's fear and mistrust of foreigners in general. Aborigines in Taiwan, people who were born there, are often seen as foreigners in their own countries.
Some elderly people live alone and isolated. Very often they are no longer in contact with their children. Some children would like to help their parents, as the law requires them to, but they do not even earn enough money to feed their own children. Social benefits for elderly people are not enough. In a country like Korea, retired workers are the ones who have contributed the most to the economical miracle of the country, but they are the ones who are sacrificed; they do not get the recognition they deserve from their society. Many of these people are outcasts and do not receive any help. This is why they have to continue doing small jobs as long as they can, picking up cardboard boxes and items that they can sell in order to survive. There is a high rate of suicide amongst elderly people. Luckily, some associations help them and put fraternity into practice.
In large Asian towns, people who live in the same city often do not know each other and keep a distance from one another, remaining anonymous in order to protect their family privacy. Even Christians detach themselves from one another in parishes and committed social movements do not necessarily feel welcome. There is more room for 'spiritual groups' which are interested in social problems and which seem to know how people can protect themselves from the outside world.
The environment is totally shut off from the idea of fraternity but despite this, our members are not yet ready to give up. A quote from the Exode came up many times during our discussion. God said to Moses: "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers. (Ex. 3/7) Militants are aware that God is also waiting for them to hear those that suffer, so that they will react. They know that they have limited possibilities, both resulting from the number of militants, and also from the fact that they themselves are tired from long working hours. But, this did not stop them from stating several times that the change has to come from them. Do not wait for others to change, but be the first to act, to show that change is indeed possible. Wouldn't a simple smile be a good way to reach out to others? A smile is enough to make people open their hearts and give their trust. Some militants are already committed to the aborigines, others to migrant workers or female foreigners who are married to a native; others campaign against nuclear energy, others show their solidarity with workers who have been made redundant; others support work carried out by organisations which help the elderly or disabled people, etc. All these actions help to develop a real sense of human fraternity.
Although the notion of fraternity was difficult to get to grips with in the beginning, by the end of the 3-day seminar, participants felt that they had experienced real fraternity and this was in spite of communication problems arising from the diversity of languages and cultures. They said that they had really put fraternity to the test. Participants thanked CFSM militants for their warm welcome and also for having shown them the true Singapore, by inviting them to a family meal and through a friendly, fraternal exchange.

"VALUE OF DECENTRALIZED CONSENSUS SYSTEMS – EVALUATION FRAMEWORK" by Christian Brenig, Jonas Schwarz et al.
The emergence of decentralized virtual currency systems based on cryptographic operations has been accompanied by efforts to utilize the technology as infrastructure for further applications besides cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. So-called Decentralized Consensus Systems (DCSs) could reshape financial and other information-based industries, where the invention, registration and transfer of as-sets constitutes the core of business activities. The starting point for this paper is the observation that innovative applications beyond payments already attract the attention of scholars and practitioners, whose works so far are mainly focused on explanatory issues. What is missing are approaches to evaluate the value of DCSs, taking into account the diversity of applications ranging from currencies to the decentralization of business operations. To fill this gap, this paper firstly discusses the poten-tials and introduces a contextualization of DCSs operating as digital infrastructures. Furthermore, the notion of economic value is examined. This forms the foundation for the subsequent development of an evaluation framework regarding the value of DCSs in order to provide a basis for the assessment of business models. The framework is then exemplarily applied to the Bitcoin system, which is evaluated according to various indicators such as venture capital investments, research or demand.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann
Michele Marie Bachmann (née Amble; born April 6, 1956) is an American politician who was the U.S. representative for Minnesota's 6th congressional district from 2007 until 2015. A member of the Republican Party, she was a candidate for President of the United States in the 2012 election, but lost the Republican nomination to Mitt Romney. Born in Waterloo, Iowa, Bachmann moved to Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, as a teenager. She graduated from O. W. Coburn School of Law, the law school of Oral Roberts University, and the William & Mary Law School. After graduating, she briefly worked in tax law for the Internal Revenue Service before becoming a stay-at-home mom. She became involved in local politics, specifically around education. Bachmann formally entered politics in 2000, when she was elected to the Minnesota Senate. In 2006, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After her unsuccessful run for president, Bachmann was elected to another term in the House in 2012, before announcing her retirement before the 2014 election.
Medicare Privatization
Proponents of Medicare privatization believe in modernizing or privatizing the program, typically with the goal of reducing federal spending. They also argue that Medicare expansion fails to achieve adequate savings and limits the rights of consumers to their desired insurance.
Restricted Contraception
Proponents of restricting contraception define life as beginning at fertilization and thereby confer the legal status of "personhood" on fertilized eggs. They believe methods of contraception act as abortifacients because they may prevent a fertilized egg from implanting and argue against their use in order to protect human life.
Proponents of Social Security reform propose replacing Social Security with a private system of individual retirement accounts that provides greater returns on investment. They also argue that the program's funding mechanism is unsustainable over the long term due to demographic changes.
Tiered Network Access
Opponents of net neutrality believe that telecommunications providers should have the freedom to prioritize traffic based on service and infrastructure considerations. They also argue that net neutrality disincentivizes competition among providers that leads to innovation.

Chicagoans Gave Big Support to Ped/Bike Projects in PB Elections
Voting in the 5th Ward Participatory Budgeting election. Photo courtesy of PB Chicago.
The results of last week's participatory budgeting elections show that, when you give them a chance, Chicago residents are happy to support projects that make our streets safer, more efficient and more vibrant. The 5th, 45th, 46th and 49th wards took part in the PB process, which allows citizens to propose ideas for each district's $1.3 million in discretionary "menu" money and then vote on the projects that make it on the final ballot. While aldermen traditionally decide how menu money is used, and normally opt for basic street, sidewalk and lighting improvements, these results mean several innovative walking, biking, transit and public space initiatives will debut in the near future.
A whopping 1,400 participants cast ballots in the Far North Side's 49th Ward, where Alderman Joe Moore first pioneered the process in 2010. "The participatory budgeting elections have exceeded even my wildest dreams," said Moore in a statement. "They are more than elections. They are community celebrations and an affirmation that people will participate in the civic affairs of their community if given real power to make real decisions."
His constituents voted to spend $30,000 on a pedestrian safety engineering study on Sheridan, which could lead to improvements like curb extensions to shorten crossing distances, and changes to stoplight and walk signal timing. They also voted to use $75,000 to install shared-lane markings for bikes on Clark from Howard to Albion. Other proposals that won funding included new sidewalks, the restoration of cobblestones on Glennwood, and cherry blossom trees and a new water fountain at Touhy Park.
In Leslie Hairston's 5th Ward, on the south lakefront, the transportation committee for the PB process proposed 23 different projects, including many nontraditional ideas for promoting biking and transit use. However, unlike the other three aldermen, Hairston decided to designate these as "service requests" that should instead be funded by city departments, the CTA or the park district. The alderman has asked members of the committee to follow up with the relevant agencies to make sure these projects are completed, with the understanding that she has prioritized them, although she declined to fund them. However, street, sidewalk and lighting repairs, which can also be paid for by city agencies, were left on the PB ballot.
Perhaps not coincidentally, turnout in the 5th Ward PB election was relatively low, with only about 100 voters. "As word spreads, we look forward to more people taking part in next year's Participatory Budgeting process," said 5th Ward Chief of Staff Kimberl Webb in a statement. The winning three projects are an urban garden, street lamp improvements, and new lighting in Metra viaducts.
Proposed design of SherMon Plaza, which won funding in the 46th Ward.
In John Arena's 45th Ward, on the Far Northwest Side, several bike projects did make it on the ballot, including bike lanes on Lawrence and Milwaukee, and on-street bike parking corrals, although they weren't among the winning five projects. However, voters did support spending $125,000 to install a new pedestrian crossing light at the Jefferson Park Transit Center, which will also improve access for CTA buses. Over 650 people voted; winning proposals also included viaduct remediation and pigeon abatement, an artificial turf playing field for a local school, viaduct lighting and a community garden.
Residents of James Cappleman's 46th ward, on the north lakefront, voted for some truly groundbreaking transportation proposals. The SherMon Plaza project will spend $79,000 on connecting a traffic island at Sheridan/Montrose/Broadway to the "mainland" to create a new public space, something that has likely never been done in Chicago. The $142,000 Leland Greenway will be a traffic calmed bike boulevard leading from Clark to the lakefront, another first. The $270,000 Walkable 46 project will fund crosswalks, pedestrian countdown signals and traffic calming. $448,000 will be spent on building or refreshing bike lanes on several streets in the ward. The other winning proposals were for security cameras in Sheridan Park and a left-turn signal at Sheridan/Irving Park. 390 residents voted in the election.
Arline Welty, a facilitator with the 46th Ward's streets and cycling infrastructure committee, said she's thrilled with the outcome. "Everything we wanted got completely funded," she said. "It's exciting that walking and biking improvements are the number-one priority in the ward, and we're going to be able to deliver them."

every time I see that shermon plaza I think it's pointless. It's adjacent to a parking lot! who is going to go sit there in the between streets and a parking lot?
Steven Vance
By removing this part of the road, it can actually improve the conditions for bicycling and walking. For starters, it will reduce the number of crossings one will have to make, and reduce the wait time (because two signal phases will no longer be there). It should reduce the wait time for drivers and bus passengers as well, because of the phase removal.
A crosswalk could be built across Sheridan connecting the excess-roadway-converted-to-plaza at a perpendicular angle instead of the acute (or obtuse, depending on which direction you're crossing) angle that's there now (and which is longer than a perpendicular crossing).
Eloise Mason
Maybe once it's been there a few years the property owner will redevelop to put not-a-parking-lot next to it. :->
It'd be great if it works this way! Many people in the neighborhood don't want a parking lot there. The plaza will need to be developed further, but it starts the conversation and squarely points the direction that people want public money to support. So often planning in Uptown hasn't been in keeping with its transit-and pedestrian-oriented past or reflective of the fact that 40% of locals don't use private cars (and many more rarely use theirs). Pretty much everyone agrees that Uptown has way too many parking lots and one-story car-oriented business strips, so a real shocker recently has been the approval of the Sonic drive-in that's planned for Wilson Ave so close to the huge public investment in Wilson Ave CTA station. In a sense, SherMon Plaza, regardless of what you think of the conception, says that residents want better urban planning.
The reduced crossing times will also improve conditions for those with disabilities. The area is traversed by many with limited mobility and children heading to the schools on Clarendon Avenue, both key constituent groups for other 46th Ward proposals like Walkable 46. Unfortunately Montrose Avenue traffic is about to get way worse because of the highrises planned for just two blocks east at Montrose & Clarendon—at last count there were over 600 parking places, a grocery store, fitness center, and 842 units. Fortunately Uptowner have great examples of public space like the enduring Sunnyside Mall (http://bit.ly/139stBP) to model into the future.
Given what I know of the area, I'd bet most of the car-centric tenants of those buildings (as opposed to the ones who have a car, but leave it in their parking space almost all the time) will go east on Montrose to Marine, and from there either cut to an arterial or hop straight on LSD. Narrow, walking-friendly streets are deliberately unfriendly to the kind of driver that wants to be travelling at a constant minimum 40MPH.
I really like Sunnyside Mall but I don't like all the curbs that people on bikes have to jump up if they want to avoid the sidewalk curb ramps.
This Year's 49th Ward PB Ballot Includes a Few Transit Projects
By John Greenfield	| Apr 9, 2016
Each of Chicago's 50 wards gets an annual $1.3 million in discretionary "menu" funding to spend on infrastructure projects each year. Usually the alderman decides how the money is spent and typically most of the money is used for traditional projects like street resurfacing, sidewalk repair, and streetlamp installation. However, the growing participatory budget movement, […]
Rogers Park Participatory Budgeting Ideas Include a North-South Greenway
Chicago aldermen traditionally use their $1.3 million in discretionary "menu" money for basic street, sidewalk and lighting improvements. However, this year a handful of wards are holding participatory budgeting elections. These often result in money being set aside for innovative transportation projects, and walking and biking infrastructure is a relative bargain. 49th Ward Alderman Joe […]

There were a number of gains for walking and biking in last week's participatory budgeting election in the 45th Ward, a Far Northwest Side district represented by Alderman John Arena. Meanwhile, the city is moving forward with a safety overhaul of a stretch of Milwaukee Avenue within the ward. This project was watered down due […]
