This Vegetable Lo Mein recipe is made with pasta noodles sauteed with snap peas, bell pepper, onions, mushrooms, and cabbage. They're tossed in a sweet and savory Asian sauce. Skip the Chinese takeout and save money with homemade Asian noodles!
I'm crazy about Asian noodles. I mean, stir-fried noodles with fresh vegetables, tossed in a sweet and savory Asian sauce.
What's not to love?
Actually, it can be a little oily when ordered as Chinese take out, which is why I came up with my own recipe.
It's much healthier, budget-friendly, and ready in 30 minutes. This recipe uses everyday ingredients available at most grocery stores!
It easily ranks in the top favorite weeknight dinners of our meal rotation.
What kind of noodles are used in Lo Mein?
Lo Mein recipes typically call for packaged lo mein noodles that you boil, drain, and toss with other ingredients in a wok or skillet.
But, you can use any wheat noodle for this Asian noodle recipe. I often use spaghetti or linguine noodles because I always have them on hand.
What is a good substitute for lo mein noodles?
I love this rice ramen when I need a gluten-free option for Asian noodle recipes.
I can hardly tell I'm eating a rice noodle when I use it in this recipe. They're just as hearty and delicious as any wheat egg noodles.
Chow Mein vs Lo Mein: What's the Difference?
Lo Mein and Chow Mein are both Chinese noodle dishes made with wheat egg noodles.
The major difference between them is how the noodles are prepared in the manufacturing process.
Chow mein noodles are fried, then packaged.
Lo Mein noodles are boiled or steamed, then packaged.
I personally prefer lo mein noodles simply because they are not fried.
Both noodles require boiling before they can be turned into noodle entrees.
However, chow mein noodles can be used straight from the package (dry) and crumbled up as garnish or toppings for Asian dishes like salad, soups, and entrees.
What is Lo Mein sauce made of?
Lo Mein sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce that's often made with soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and spices.
In order to make my recipe both vegetarian and vegan, I skipped the oyster sauce.
I've seen a few people add Sriracha, or ginger paste, or hot sauce to kick things up a notch. I'm all for that too!
The best veggies for Vegetable Lo Mein
The beauty of this Asian noodle recipe is that you can use any vegetables you like.
For this recipe, I used green onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, snap peas, and cabbage, but the possibilities are endless!
I also love knowing that when we 'stir fry' vegetables, they retain more nutrients when cooked for shorter periods of time.
So, let's eat ALL the veggies we can get our hands on!
How do you make Lo Mein?
Step 1. Boil the noodles according to package instructions; rinse, drain, and set aside.
Step 2. Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside.
Step 3. Saute the veggies.
Step 4. Toss the noodles, veggies, and sauce together.
Step 5. Heat through; serve warm.
* Grab recipe card below for full instructions
Lo Mein Meal Prep Steps
Step 1: Follow the recipe below, but do not add the sauce to the noodles and vegetables. Instead, package it into 2-4 oz portioned containers.
Step 2: Allow the cooked veggies and noodles to cool, then portion into meal prep containers.
Step 3: Store meal prepped portions in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
Step 4: To reheat, pour the lo mein sauce over the noodles and reheat until fully warmed through. Use your favorite reheating method, stirring as needed. You might like to eat the noodles cold too!
Lo Mein Recipe Tips:
Tip #1: Substitute any pasta noodle for lo mein noodles in this recipe.
Tip #2: Use a reduced sodium soy sauce to cut down on the sodium.
Tip #3: Once the pasta/noodles have been boiled, rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent them from over-cooking.
Tip #4: Prepare ingredients up to 3 days in advance to save time cooking on a busy weeknight. Here's how…
- chop the veggies
- boil, rinse and drain the noodles
- whisk together the sauce
- store components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator and simply reheat everything together when ready to serve.

Free money's big test: A Canadian province is giving people a basic income, no strings attached--revealing both the appeal and the limitation of the idea.
Dana Bowman, 56, expresses gratitude for fresh produce at least 10 times in the hour and a half we're having coffee on a frigid spring day in Lindsay, Ontario. Over the many years she scraped by on government disability payments, she tended to stick to frozen vegetables. She'd also save by visiting a food bank or buying marked-down items near or past their sell-by date.
But since December, Bowman has felt secure enough to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. She's freer, she says, to "do what nanas do" for her grandchildren, like having all four of them over for turkey on Easter. Now that she can afford the transportation, she might start taking classes in social work in a nearby city. She feels happier and healthier--and, she says, so do many other people in her subsidized apartment building and around town. "I'm seeing people smiling and seeing people friendlier, saying hi more," she says.
Jim Garbutt sees moods brightening, too, at A Buy & Sell Shop, a store he and his wife run on Lindsay's main street. Sales are brisker for most of what they sell: used furniture, kitchen items, novelties. A Buy & Sell Shop is the kind of place where people come in just to chat--"we're like Cheers, without the alcohol," Garbutt says--and more and more people seem hopeful. "Spirits are up," he says.
What changed? Lindsay, a compact rectangle amid the lakes northeast of Toronto, is at the heart of one of the world's biggest tests of a guaranteed basic income. In a three-year pilot funded by the provincial government, about 4,000 people in Ontario are getting monthly stipends to boost them to at least 75 percent of the poverty line. That translates to a minimum annual income of $17,000 in Canadian dollars (about $13,000 US) for single people, $24,000 for married couples. Lindsay has about half the people in the pilot--some 10 percent of the town's population.
The trial is expected to cost $50 million a year in Canadian dollars; expanding it to all of Canada would cost an estimated $43 billion annually. But Hugh Segal, the conservative former senator who designed the test, thinks it could save the government money in the long run. He expects it to streamline the benefits system, remove rules that discourage people from working, and reduce crime, bad health, and other costly problems that stem from poverty. Such improvements occurred during a basic-income test in Manitoba in the 1970s.
People far beyond Canada will be watching closely, too, because a basic income has become Silicon Valley's favorite answer to the question of how society should deal with the massive automation of jobs. Tech investors such as Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes and Sam Altman, president of the startup incubator Y Combinator, are funding pilot projects to examine what people do when they get money with no strings attached. Hughes's Economic Security Project will pay for 100 people in Stockton, California, to get $500 a month for 18 months. Y Combinator ran a small-scale test in Oakland, California, last year; beginning in 2019 it will give $1,000 a month to 1,000 people over three to five years, in locations still to be determined.
This momentum figures to keep building as AI and robotics make even more inroads. Legislators in Hawaii are beginning to study the prospects for a basic income. The lawmaker who has led the effort, Democrat Chris Lee, worries that self-driving cars and automated retail checkout could be the beginning of the end for a lot of human labor in Hawaii's service- based economy. If machines can handle tasks in tourism and hospitality, Lee says, "there is no fallback industry for jobs to be created in."
But there's an important difference between that vision for a basic income and the experiment in Ontario. The Canadians are testing it as an efficient antipoverty mechanism, a way to give a relatively small segment of the population more flexibility to find work and to strengthen other strands of the safety net. That's not what Silicon Valley seems to imagine, which is a universal basic income that placates broad swaths of the population. The most obvious problem with that idea? Math. Many economists concluded long ago that it would be too expensive, especially when compared with the cost of programs to create new jobs and train people for them. That's why the idea didn't take off after tests in the 1960s and '70s. It's largely why Finland recently abandoned a basic-income plan after a small test.
If any place can illuminate both the advantages of basic income and the problems it can't solve, it will be Lindsay. The town is prosperous by some measures, with a median household income of $55,000 and a historic downtown district where new condos and a craft brewery are on the way. But that masks how tough it is for a lot of people to get by. Manufacturing in the surrounding area, known as the Kawartha Lakes, has declined since the 1980s. Many people juggle multiple jobs, including seasonal work tied to tourism in the summer and fall. Technology is part of the story too: robots milk cows now.
Basic income as a social equalizer
The Olde Gaol Museum is indeed an old jail, but it's also a showcase for things that reveal the texture of Lindsay's history--uniforms that nurses from town wore in France during World War I; tools and maps used by railway workers when this was a hub for eight railroad lines; 19th-century paintings by a local artist who depicted the timeless regional pastimes of canoeing and fishing. When curatorial assistant Ian McKechnie gives me a tour, he stops and plays a lovely tune on a foot-pumped organ called a harmonium that was made in Ontario more than a hundred years ago.
McKechnie, 27, has worked at the museum for seven years and is devoted to it. Unlike his previous job, when he was briefly a laborer at a goat cheese factory, it offers a chance to be creative and connect with many people in the community. He doesn't just give tours: he researches and organizes exhibits and writes supporting materials. But on the day we meet, the museum is not paying him to be at work, and therein lies a story about why he and the Olde Gaol's operations supervisor, Lisa Hart, both signed up for the basic income.
The museum gets almost all its revenue from grants, and one just expired. The manager of the museum recently left, and so it falls largely to McKechnie and Hart to keep things going until another grant comes in. Even when it does, these won't be lucrative jobs--perhaps $20,000 a year for McKechnie's. They could find positions in the area that pay more, but both would much rather continue their labor of love at the museum. Leaving now might undercut its momentum toward a more sustainable future, which could include a new cultural center that would connect the museum with a local art gallery.
Thanks to the basic-income trial, both can afford to stay on with the museum. And in the meantime, Hart says, she will no longer put off buying new eyeglasses. The basic income "allows you to spend time on something that's valuable," she says. "It's very sad to walk away from something where you're valued and doing something meaningful for the community because it just can't pay you a lot."
This highlights an intriguing aspect of basic income: it functions in different ways for different people. The way Hart describes it, it's fuel for cultural development. For Dana Bowman, who might now take classes in social work and regularly volunteers at a community garden, it's a food subsidy, an educational grant, and a neighborhood improvement fund all in one. For a married couple who own a health-food restaurant that barely covers its costs, it's a small-business booster. A man who hurt his back working in a warehouse told me he hoped it could augment his employer's disability payments. A student who was about to graduate from a technical college and had a job lined up said he planned to use the extra income to pay down school loans and start saving for a house.
For McKechnie, the basic income is something broader: a social equalizer, a recognition that people who make little or no money are often doing things that are socially valuable. "It gives one the assurance that the work you're doing is not in vain, even though you're not working in a bank or doing other things that are considered part of a career," he says.
Part of a safety net
Even if a basic income turns out to be a flexible and efficient government program, it's not clear that it would be a great way to respond to technological unemployment. Over and over again, people in Lindsay told me it won't reduce people's demand for jobs.
As a practical matter, the Ontario trial doesn't pay enough to eliminate most people's need to work or to rely on family for support. But even if a richer payout were feasible, that wouldn't change the philosophy of the program. Basic-income supporters want to improve the odds that people will take better care of themselves and their families. They want a humane and dignifying way of helping people who simply can't work. But they also argue that most people generally want and expect to work. "It's not supposed to be welfare for people displaced by technology," says one of the basic-income advocates, Mike Perry, who runs a medical practice in Kawartha Lakes.
Moreover, while giving poor people money helps them, it still leaves urgent and difficult questions unanswered about the impacts of automation and globalization. What will it take to ensure that entire regions aren't left far behind economically? What can be done to boost the supply of good, steady jobs? Basic income "is only the beginning," says Roderick Benns, former vice chair of the Ontario Basic Income Network. "It's not just 'cut a check and get on with building the corpo-ratocracy.' We have to ask what else we are doing as a society to get people to reimagine what they can do with their lives."
Benns, the author of several books, grew up in Lindsay. Until recently, he and his wife, Joli Scheidler-Benns, lived three hours away, but the pilot is so important to them that they moved back so he can chronicle it in a new publication called the Lindsay Advocate and she can do research for her PhD on the subject at York University. After Benns describes how basic income should augment job training and other social programs, Scheidler-Benns, who is originally from Michigan, nods and then adds: "I don't see how it could work in the US."
After all, she says, Canada does many other things to strengthen its safety net and reduce inequality. For one, it has universal health care. School funding in Ontario is primarily allocated at the province level rather than being heavily dependent on local property taxes, as it is in the US. Canada also traditionally spends about 1 percent of its GDP on workforce-development programs, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. That's about half of the proportion in other advanced countries, but it still dwarfs the US figure, which is about 0.3 percent.
Funding a different mind-set
Tony Tilly is the outgoing president of Fleming College, which specializes in preparing people in Kawartha Lakes for careers in both white-collar work and trades. About half the students don't come right from high school; they've already been in the workforce and hope to learn a new skill.
He supports a basic income because he thinks it could help people break out of poverty that has beset their families for generations. But even if the program continues past the three-year trial period, Fleming's essential challenge would remain: how to prepare students for a world in which more and more tasks are being automated.
Fleming is still priming its graduates to work in traditional strongholds of the regional economy: jobs tied to the environment and natural resources, infrastructure development, mining, construction, and government. But the school is trying to instill a different mind-set from the one students had when Tilly became its president 14 years ago. They now get more emphasis on so-called soft skills: teamwork, problem- solving, personal interaction. Above all, he says, they need to know "not only how to do some particular job but how to contribute overall to the success of an organization, whether it's a manufacturer or a provider of social services."
If the basic-income plan works as expected, Fleming might get even more students than it otherwise would. Dana Bowman could be one of them.
It's been years since she last had a paying job, as a receptionist. She has been on disability for a variety of ailments, including skin cancer and arthritis. But she feels she is up to doing some part-time work. In 2015, two years before the basic-income trial, Bowman asked a case worker if she could get help paying for transportation to a Fleming campus that offers classes in social work. The official said that would lead to cuts in other benefits Bowman relied on. The message Bowman says she got was: "You're unemployable. You're not worth investing in."
In contrast, the basic-income plan ensures a minimum for her without micro-managing how she spends it. For every dollar that recipients earn above the minimum, their payout from the province will be cut by 50 cents, but no one is made worse off by working.
Even being able to consider that prospect, Bowman says, has been good for her. "I don't feel 'less than.' I feel 'equal to.' Not feeling guilty walking down the street, thinking, 'I didn't do enough today,'" she says. "People want to do something. People aren't inclined to do nothing."

We started out catching the impressive Peg Newell at the Courtside Grill. What a beautiful voice and an extremely talented performer. She has more shows at the fair, don't miss her.
We caught Pop Rox playing on the Midway Under the tent Rockin The Row. These guys made sure we won't forget the rockin' 80's, from the Stray Cats to Van Halan they had people dancing and singing all our favorite songs.
Next stop was back to the Courtside Grill and Hard Promises. Never a disappointment. The Courtside Grill was bursting at the seems. Hard Promises keeps the promise of great music and a fantastic performance. We weren't able to stay for the second show after Blue Oyster Cult but I fear that there won't be much of the Courtside Grill in the morning. I am sure that Hard Promises will have everybody at the Fair dancing, singing and bringing down the house.

- State Data Overview
Across Missouri, there is a shortage of rental homes affordable and available to extremely low income households (ELI), whose incomes are at or below the poverty guideline or 30% of their area median income (AMI). Many of these households are severely cost burdened, spending more than half of their income on housing. Severely cost burdened poor households are more likely than other renters to sacrifice other necessities like healthy food and healthcare to pay the rent, and to experience unstable housing situations like evictions.KeyFacts204,055Or25%Renter households that are extremely low income$25,100Maximum income for 4-person extremely low income household (state level)-117,557Shortage of rental homes affordable and available for extremely low income renters$33,284Annual household income needed to afford a two-bedroom rental home at HUD's Fair Market Rent.70%Percent of extremely low income renter households with severe cost burden

South Downs Way Double
Cycle 200 miles, climb 22,000ft and open 200 gates in under 24 hours
For thousands of years, people have been crossing the South Downs using nothing but the power of their own two legs and in all that time, every traveller has been looking for the easiest route: what's the quickest way over the next hill – around it, over it, or across its flanks? Eventually, out of all those small, individual decisions a trail emerged, worn into the chalk over countless journeys.
The end result of all those collective decisions and knowledge is the South Downs Way.
Of course, of all those people over all those years, someone's got to have made the quickest journey, there-and-back. Nowadays, that's going to be someone riding a bike.
200 miles (there and back). 24 hours to do it in. It's that simple.
Congratulations to Julian Paphitis
Julian Paphitis - 23h 2m on the 1st August 2015. Perfect weather for Julian and by sheer coincidence Frazer was also attempting the Double! In Julians words: Julian's ride on Strava The decision to go for the double was fairly last minute, after an unsuccessful race...
Congratulations to Amanda Brooks
Amanda Brooks - 21h 44m 30s on the 4th of August 2014. Amanda rode her way into the SDD record books with the fastest female time ever. Riding unsupported, conditions were good until the very end where the rain came down hard in Winchester.
Congratulations to Mark Goldie
Mark Goldie - 19h 47m 39s singlespeed on the 17th July 2014. This is the 2nd fastest singlespeed time, and particularly impressive to witness when he realised he could get under 20 hours by picking up the pace late in the ride.

Domesticating Violence
The government's new initiatives on domestic violence have been broadly welcomed by men's groups. "Keeping a register of men involved in domestic violence is exactly what's needed," says Ned Weddernid, of the National Alliance for Male Empowerment. "Registered wife beaters are clearly the way ahead – for too long violence against women has been conducted in an entirely amateur fashion. Perhaps now we'll see some proper professional standards applied." Weddernid's organisation believes that domestic violence against women has gained a poor image due to a lack of finesse on the part of its practitioners. "It's usually perpetrated by some drunken oaf with absolutely no training or subtlety, with the result that he victim ends up looking like they've gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson and totally incapable of performing any useful function for weeks," he declares. "What's needed is a more scientific application of violence by a highly trained individual, which will achieve the objective of teaching the victim a lesson without incapacitating them."
He believes that the new system will also be beneficial to women. "What self-respecting woman would want to be beaten senseless by an amateur, when she can be chastised and dominated by a professional?" Weddernid asks. "If wife beaters are all licenced, then all women have to do is check with the national register to ensure that they're being slapped by a safe pair of hands." Weddernid points out that other registration schemes have been highly successful in regulating specialist fields of offending. "Just look at sex offenders – everyone wants to get on the register, it's considered a real badge of honour," he claims.

Madonna and Cher stand against Bolsonaro with the hashtag #EleNão
Singers endorse movement of Brazilian artists
International artists Madonna and Cher have positioned themselves against presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) in their social media accounts, by using the hashtag #EleNão (which literally means "#NotHim" in English) in their posts. The movement was spread by Brazilian celebrities like Daniela Mercury and Bruna Linzmeyer and had already been endorsed by international celebrities like Dua Lipa and Dan Reynolds.
In her Instagram Stories (image-sharing tool in which images disappear within 24 hours), Madonna shared a photo with her mouth sealed with a tape where it is written "freedom". She added the hashtags #EleNão and #EndFacism.

FCL Meets ECLC
May 17, 2017
On May 21st, members of the NPHS Future Civic Leaders of America Club will be going to ECLC in Chatham for an exciting event. They will be participating in a variety of field day events with students of the school, as well as developing lifelong friendships with these students.
Students from NPHS and ECLC will compete together in teams in array of different competitions throughout the day. These events will include Bocce ball, egg and spoon races, relay races, can and ring toss games, and beach volleyball. Students will also participate in opening and closing ceremonies; with students from NPHS singing the National Anthem at the opening ceremony and students from ECLC singing a song at the closing ceremony.
The opportunity for students to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would not have been possible without the amazing work of two FCL officers: Lizzie Scheader and Rebecca Pappas.
Since last summer, Lizzie and Rebecca have been planning this trip. They both have had a range of other experiences in volunteer work that prepared them for this. Rebecca has had past experiences working with people with disabilities that inspired her while planning; and has also volunteered at church events and with Relay for Life, as a team captain. Lizzie has previously had experience working with the Sharing Network and has also been a captain for Relay for Life.
Rebecca and Lizzie hope that this event will make the day for the students at ECLC. When they visited the school while planning the trip, a teacher said that the students would remember the field day for the rest of their lives. Although this field trip may not seem like that big of a deal in the eyes of many of the NPHS students, it will have a lasting effect on the lives of the students at ECLC.
Lizzie stresses the idea that despite the obstacles she faced in planning the trip, it is important to remember how accomplished and happy she and the other volunteers will feel they felt at the end of the day. It is all worthwhile when you realize you have done something good for someone else.

New lyrics search function?
I have no idea if this is possible, but could a new function be added to the search box that would only search things that are under the header "lyrics"? I think it would help people who are looking for a song and just don't know what it's called, and would make it a lot more user-friendly to find things. Cheers, sheepdean Try to speak as clearly as you can

Injured in an Accident? The Insurance Company is Not on Your Side!
Most personal injury accident cases are resolved out of court. Typically, the at-fault party's insurance company settles the case, which means that they pay the victim a certain amount of money in return for the victim releasing the at-fault party from any further liability.
If you've been injured in an accident, the fact that the insurance company has made a settlement offer to you may lull you into a false sense of security about being able to handle your case on your own. It's important to remember that the insurance company is not on your side, and the best way to protect your rights is to retain an attorney as soon as you can.
Insurance Companies Are Out to Make Money
To understand why this is, the first thing you should consider is the insurance company business model. Insurance companies collect premiums from their customers on a regular basis and then pay out when claims are made. Obviously, in order to make money, insurance companies must collect more in premiums than they pay out for claims. For this reason, insurance companies are actively trying to pay out as little as possible on every claim they receive. In fact, if an insurance company can find a way to deny your claim entirely, they will almost certainly do so. If they cannot deny your claim outright, they will offer you pennies on the dollar before you are represented by an attorney.
Insurance Company Tactics
are some of the things that insurance companies do in order to deny or minimize
- Taking a recorded statement from you shortly after the accident occurred, when you are still in shock, dazed, and confused
- Making a settlement offer within a few days of an accident, hoping that you have not had a chance to discuss your case with an attorney
- Requesting overbroad medical record authorizations in an effort to find anything in your past that could label an injury or condition as "pre-existing"
- Waiting until medical bills have piled up, knowing that financial pressure will make you more likely to settle your case for less than it's actually worth
- Misrepresenting your rights under the law (for example, telling you that you are not entitled to damages for pain and suffering)
- Pressuring you to provide a recorded statement to process their claim, hoping that you say something that can be used against you to justify reducing their settlement or denying your claim altogether
An Attorney Can Protect Your Rights
Fortunately, you are entitled to retain legal counsel even if there is very little chance that your case will end up in court. An attorney familiar with personal injury litigation can communicate with the insurance company on your behalf and make sure that they treat you fairly. In many cases, a lawyer will help you gather evidence that demonstrates your damages, making it more likely that the insurance company's settlement offers are reasonable and adequately compensate you for all of your losses. In addition, if the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, your lawyer may file a lawsuit on your behalf to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.

A reference bits primary application is to be used as a reference point to measure from when having to drill in a specific wall cavity (i.e. drilling down through top plate in wall with stapled bat insulation, up from basement in wall with blown-in cellulose or Styrofoam insulation). The hole created is so small that it will remain unnoticeable, even on a ceiling.
Don't Drill Blind! Use a Reference Bit First!
These small diameter reference bits allow you to drill a reference hole through material to check for obstructions, knots or other undesirables, and as a reference point to measure when drilling up through a top plate, or up from the basement through any kind of insulation. The hole created is so small it will remain unnoticed and does not need refinishing. Simply cut at an angle to create a point the length you will need, and drill. When using, the drill chuck must be fully closed and tight.
The Reference Point Bit is an extremely small (0.047" diameter) wire bit for preliminary identification of drill bit path. Made of 36" long spring wire, this bit can be cut at an angle and any length to make the smallest reference bit. Packaged as a convenient 10-pack.

Games are played on a huge mass nowadays. It has emerged into Esport where best gamers go professional and participate in top esports tournaments. PC gamers always check their game settings if it is causing any lag or not running smoothly and also check if any softwares are missing to execute the game smoothly. Some games run without additional software whereas there are other new or latest games that contain heavy new codings and algorithms which need additional software to run the games smoothly on PC. Different types of games have a different type of coding, functions or algorithms. It is difficult for the developers to develop different types of codings or functions for different types of PC's configurations or hardware. To make it easier for the developers Microsoft developed DirectX, Microsoft Dot Net Framework, Visual C++.
DirectX is a collection or set of APIs that means Application Programming Interfaces which acts as an interface between your hardware and game. It is a software which contains the library of all the codings, algorithm or functions with which the developer will get resources to write Windows based application software that accesses different hardware or PC's configurations easily through the game. It makes a path for the developer to connect those functions and codings which looked different between game and hardware. It is mostly used for game programming but it can also be used for multimedia or videos. Most gamers think that this software is important for games to run smoothly. Yes, it is true because most of the latest games nowadays possess latest algorithms and codings and to run on different hardware you need to install DirectX because it locates the codes or files which were missing on your hardware or graphics card or whatever needed to execute the game properly and run smoothly. It is a platform for the games to run smoothly on different configurations or hardwares. The latest version of DirectX will contain more updated features from the previous one. DirectX 10 and 11 are mostly used nowadays. DirectX 12 is the latest version till date which does not support every game but contains the best features and latest updates till date. Some latest games are releasing nowadays with DirectX 12 supported.
Now what about the Microsoft dot net framework or Microsoft Visual C++? Are they same like DirectX? Whats their role in gaming?
No, they are not same like DirectX but they do have some relations because sometimes these softwares come together with graphics drivers or DirectX full SDK files. Actually, these softwares are platforms to make the developers friendlier or easier for coding games because these softwares contains functions and algorithms related to games which can be used for coding. All about providing safe access to the developer to develop codes related games which will support the hardware or system configuration. Visual C++ is a powerful programming language software for executing dot net framework programming easily. Developers use it to write powerful dot net framework applications. Dot Net Framework provides a comprehensive programming model for building most of the games on Windows, and if you haven't installed the appropriate one or if you uninstall the file by accident, the game you're going to play won't be loaded properly. So when you find an error showing .dll or .net framework files missing after attempting to start a game then you should know that you have not installed DirectX or Dot Net framework on your operating system. Sometimes if a error appears that Visual c++ say 2010 version is not installed on your OS then you should know that you have not installed the redistributable Visual C++ version needed to execute the game. So install the latest versions of these three softwares to run the games on your PC without any errors related to the inavailability of these softwares.

As the days begin to darken earlier and cold weather creeps a little closer, there's no better time to open a bottle of our just-released Red Horizon 2013…
Jacques, AJ and I did just that a few weeks ago. Sitting at Open Door and catching up on all of Uitsig's progress, we found a worthy topic of conversation in Uitsig's newest offering.
Having spent over a year in one of just 65 barrels before being bottled and stored in the cellar, Red Horizon 2013 is a shade darker than its sold-out predecessor, and the differences don't stop there.
Aromatic, light and elegant, it's a very different Bordeaux blend from previous vintages. In the past, Constantia Uitsig's red blends have been primarily Merlot-driven, but our Red Horizon 2013 switches to a dominant Cabernet Sauvignon style (69% Cab Sav, 22% Merlot and 9% Cab Franc).
Possessing more concentrated fruits as a result, there are notes of plum, purple flowers and black cherry on the nose. And despite its time in French oak, wood is hardly detectable, giving way to a zesty interplay of fruits, complimented by the subtle presence of mint and eucalyptus.
Thanks to the Cab Sav influence, we found the wine to be slightly more full-bodied and beautifully layered, with no single flavour or varietal playing an overly dominant role.
"There's Merlot on the nose, Cab Sav on the palate with a nice acidity, and Cab Franc's floral follow-through." AJ notes adding, "Although on paper this blend may be Cabernet dominant, the different components come through beautifully."
Jacques agrees: "Thanks to our type of soil here, we're not looking to produce a heavy red wine, but rather one that's more approachable at a relatively early age. That being said, I find this wine to be unusually complex for such a light, easy-drinking red wine."
Certainly not a one-dimensional wine, we kept on picking up different qualities as the time progressed. Faring excellently at present, we surmised that this vintage would only get better over the next few years (if indeed, any unopened bottles survive that long).
Speaking of survival, Constantia Uitsig's vineyards continue to thrive under Jacques' capable care. "We've been pulling out quite a lot of vines, but planting an equal amount of new ones too."
The reason behind the changes are two-fold. Whilst some of our white vines were not healthy and needed replacing, Jacques would also like to explore a few new red options…
"Although our white wines and varietals have proven themselves, in the valley and at Uitsig specifically, I'd like to experiment with some new Shiraz vines and see what styles and cultivars work best with our terroir, appellation and soil."
Jacques' end goal? "An aromatic, light, elegant style suits our sandy soil. I'm excited for what the future holds…"
In the mean time, open a bottle of Red Horizon 2013 and watch it bloom in your glass.
If you insist on pairing it with a dish, we all agreed that light Italian fare would be a wonderful partner – from a great pizza to tomato-based pasta dishes.
Check out our next post on which pasta would be ideal. And if you're close to our Wine Shop anytime before the end of May, pop in to claim your FREE bottle of Red Horizon 2013 with every 6 bottles of unwooded Chardonnay purchased.

Beer production in Nepal is a growing industry. Some local beers are now also exported, and the quality of beer has reached to quite international standards International brands are popular in the urban areas.
Cocktails can pretty much only be found in Kathmandu and Pokhara's tourist areas. There you can get watered-down "two for one drinks" at a variety of pubs, restaurants, and sports bars.
(Nepali) or chyaang (Tibetan) is a cloudy, moderately alcoholic drink sometimes called Nepali beer". While weaker than raksi, it will still have quite an effect. This is often offered to guests in Nepali homes, and is diluted with water. For your safety, be sure to ask your guests if the water has been sanitized before drinking this beverage.
Raksi is a clear liquid, similar to tequila in alcohol content. It is usually brewed "in house", resulting in a variation in its taste and strength. This is by far the least expensive drink in the country. It is often served on special occasions in small, unbaked clay cups that hold less than a shot. It works great as a mixer in juice or soda. Note that it may appear on menus as "Nepali wine".
Although not as internationally famous as Indian brands, Nepal does in fact have a large tea growing industry. Most plantations are located in the east of the country and the type of tea grown is very similar to that produced in neighboring Darjeeling. Well known varieties are Dhankuta, Illam, Jhapa, Terathhum and Panchthar (all named after their growing regions). Unfortunately over 70% of Nepal's tea is exported and the tea's you see for sale in Thamel, while they serve as token mementos, are merely the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel.
Chay is a tea drink with added milk and also sometimes containing ginger and spices such as cardamom.
Most herbal teas are made from wild flowers from the Solu Khumbu region. In Kathmandu, these teas are generally only served in high class establishments or those run by Sherpas from the Solu Khumbu.
Salty tea made with milk and butter - only available in areas inhabited by Tibetans, Sherpas and a few other Himalayan people.
Problematic due to lack of sanitary facilities and sewage treatment. It is safest to assume water is unsafe for drinking without being chemically treated or boiled, which is one reason to stick to tea or bottled water.

Launder and Press Process
All shirts we receive at the front counter undergo several inspections before they are brought to the laundry area. During the initial inspection, stains and damages are identified and damages are repaired before they go through the laundering process. Minor repairs such as missing buttons and open seams are done without additional charges. We perform a standard machine press, and also offer press by hand for a small premium.
The shirts are washed in small batches to retain the colors and control damage. The laundering process itself prevents tangles, tears and damage to buttons. The shirts are pressed gently to eliminate wrinkles. They come out clean and without any fading color or weakened fibers.

Things to Consider Before Hiring Bands in Denver
When you plan to organize an event, you will be forced to take crucial decisions. If any of the decisions go wrong, then the event and the planned functions will get collapsed in the last minute. One important decision that every event planner needs to make during planning is choosing the venue. Do you know why it's important to choose the best planning center to conduct your event? The answer to the question is very simple because if the event conducting area looks good, you will get a better impact towards the invited people.
Many people think it's easy to conduct an event, but it's actually not like that. By hiring the best bands in town Denver, you can create an event that looks exactly the way you want. There are certain things which every planner needs to look into before hiring the bands in Denver. Here, we bring you some important points to your notice to choose the bands in a better way. Read more to know more.
Services offered in the venue:
When you're planning to conduct music-events, friend's get-together parties, office mate birthday celebrations or other types of parties in a venue, make sure you have all the services and amenities you're looking forward to. If you have any doubt about the services they offer, you can ask the support team through email or some websites provide the phone or landline number to discuss. Once you talk to the venue owner, you will come to know about the services they offer. If they are not transparent in the approach, then immediately skip them and go for the next service provider because there are many centers available to host your events in the best way, so choose wisely.
The way of handling:
Handling the invited people for the event in the best way is very important. If you're going to conduct a birthday-party for your colleagues or friends, the event organizers, with the help of their facilities, need to serve your guests. Confirm with the organizers about the servicemen and their quality in handling the guests. You can also ask your neighbors or friends regarding that organizer for more clarification because if you find someone who already did an event over there, where you're now planning to conduct an event will help you give the correct answer for your question.
Cost and Capacity:
Make sure the venue where you're planning to conduct the event is available for you at the affordable cost because in many places, people will be charged high and 200 people cannot even stand inside the organized area. If you're going for a big-budget event, you can go without any second-thought, but make sure you're getting every possible service for that cost. Many service providers give top-quality service to people at a very low cost. So, by searching properly on online search engines, you will also get one for your next event.
Conducting your event with the best bands in town Denver is not very far away. We hope you keep the above pieces of information in mind when you approach the bands in Denver as they will help you find the best one like never before. Enjoy your party!

Brutum Fulmen
Idle Threats
At one time, this was a bargain disc available from mp3.com which used to host indie music and burn CDRs for people. Anyway, this is a sampler of material from the first two official Brutum Fulmen albums, the pre-Brutum Fulmen Stipes & Patibulum, and tracks recorded for compilations.
I really liked the photo I took for the cover, and wish I could find the original or the negative. It's a nice blue sky with fluffy clouds reflected in a puddle in the muddy tire tracks of a heavy truck.
- "The Egg" - from Spork
- "Slough" - unreleased remix of "Oblivion"
- "Don't Go to Sleep with the Radio On" - from Stipes & Patibulum
- "Quartet for Plastic Toy Horns" - from Stipes & Patibulum
- "Grubs" - unreleased high energy mix of material used in "The Egg", eventually released on New England
- "Death of the Will" - non album track of recordings from a dog pound
- "Oblivion" - from Collapsing Orchestra
- "Avatar" - from Stipes & Patibulum
- "Symphony" (edit) - short version of 19 minute track from Collapsing Orchestra
- "The Exterminator and the Centipedes" - from Spork

You can waste hours keeping track of your competitors' activities but it can be done without any activity from your end and let Google do the job for you. Google indexes pages on internet and provides a very nice feature – Google Alerts where you get email updates of the latest relevant Google results as they happen.
Let us take a very simple example. I want to know who all are saying what about my site Go4Expert and so I create a Google alert for the following terms
Go4Expert -site:www.go4expert.com
Anybody mentioning my website name Go4Expert apart from my own site and the alert will be triggered. This way any website, blog or forum on the internet when they mention my site I am notified.
I prefer to have the frequency of email to as it happens but you can also opt for once a day or even once a week.
The disadvantage of these alerts is you can do the same for your competitor's name as well. 🙂 All you have to do is create a Google alert for your competitors name instead of yours.

To help continue the success of 2017 and create a growth in 2018 the club would like to encourage anyone that has an interest in the development of the club both on and off the field to come along to the AGM. The club is looking forward to seeing a great number at the meeting.
Good Luck The National Football League begins this weekend with Longford taking on Offaly in Tullamore on Sunday at 2pm.

Number of Babies Born in Montana (2015)
# of Children Under 5 Living in Poverty (2014)
% of Children Enrolled in Montana Medicaid (HMK)
This can be a happy and exciting time, but also stressful. There is so much to learn and think about.
It's important!
Begin prenatal care early and attend appointments as scheduled!
Keep regular appoints to allow for careful monitoring of your baby's health as well as your own. Each woman will have their own prenatal care needs. The Mayo clinic has some basic information on what you might expect during your visits during your first trimester, second trimester, and third trimester.Follow-up on Medicaid and insurance questions early. If you have insurance or Medicaid, check with your provider to learn what care is covered and other important information. Learn more about eligibility for Medicaid coverage in Montana or learn more about coverage options under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Ask for help!
Stay Healthy!
Manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity as directed by your doctor before becoming pregnant and during your pregnancy. Eliminate alcohol and drug use. Have all drugs approved by your doctor. Eliminate alcohol and drug use. Make sure you tell your doctor about all of the drugs or medications you are taking to make sure they won't harm your baby. Even legal drugs, like some prescription painkillers, can cause serious negative effects. Use of prescription opioids like Codeine and hydrocodone during pregnancy can result in neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). However, there are also serious implications for both you and baby if you regularly take opioids and stop suddenly. If you are struggling to quit and want your baby to be born healthy, tell your doctor so you can get the help and support you need.Learn More
Your mental health is as important as your physical health.
Talk to your doctor!
Discuss any mood disorders with your doctor. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, like postpartum depression, are very common and can be serious, but there is help available. Make sure to tell your doctor if you have experienced depression, or other mental health challenges in the past or if you think that pregnancy is effecting your mental health. There are safe medications to use when pregnant. For many women struggling with their mental health while pregnant, medications and counseling can help a lot.

Why do animal lover's leave their pet's in hot cars?
By ShelleBelle

It never fails when the weather gets hot we are always finding dogs locked in cars. The windows cracked to the width of a finger nail and a poor dog panting. I can understand that people lover their animals so much that they want to get them out of the house and let them hang their heads out the window, tongues blowing in the air but why, why, why do this when you are going to a certain place that you know you are going to have to leave them in the car! As defenseless(sp) as an animal is you may as well leave your child in the car. I do not have any animals and would like to understand this concept of leaving animals in the car on hot days. Is this somthing you do? And if you do, why?

It should be the same for pets as it is for children. Children aren't allowed to be left in hot cars alone and neither should pets. I'm not saying pets are humans or should they be treated that way but they can die from the heat. That isn't right and it should be illegal.

If I ever leave my pets in the car I have the windows rolled down all the way even if the vehicle is parked in the shade. I have pet birds, no dogs. I keep the birds in a carrier (they are small birds so they have plenty of room in a big carrier). Birds are very sensitive to heat and they need lots of water. I hardly leave them in the car, it is just not a good idea.

I have not a pet. I think if a person do this he is not a pet lover.

When you have a substance use disorder, chronic pain or a mental health issue, you aren't always the person you'd like to be. And when you aren't yourself, the people closest to you are the first to notice and feel the effects. Addiction puts pressure on your relationships with parents, children, friends and romantic partners, and it affects every one of your loved ones differently.
Different Ways Addiction Affects Relationships
Addiction has a different impact on a child than a parent. It affects a coworker differently than it affects a best friend. Yet all of these individuals notice the effects of your changing mental and physical health even if they don't know the reason behind it. And as your health and well-being changes, their health can begin to suffer too. Close bonds become strained and roles within relationships change.
Addiction and Children
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) explains that children who grow up in homes where addiction is present face difficulties both now and long into the future. They may have trouble trusting others or developing healthy relationships. They may look for love and acceptance everywhere, or they may become withdrawn and have trouble making any connection with others. They are at greater risk for mental health and substance use issues of their own.
Addiction and Romantic Relationships
When one partner has a substance use disorder, the other partner may feel like he or she has to keep the household together, work extra hours to pay the bills or protect a child from the truth. He or she will feel stressed, worried and overwhelmed. The partner of someone who uses drugs and alcohol may also turn to these substances or end up enabling addiction in their efforts to make things "better." Relationships become filled with secrets, anger, guilt, and unhappiness.
How Do You Heal Relationships After Addiction?
All relationships struggle when a substance use disorder is present. The great thing is that most modern treatment providers recognize just how important both old and new relationships are in recovery. They offer resources for healing and repairing relationships or for simply building great ones from the start!
In rehab and therapy, you'll learn new interpersonal skills. You may learn how to better resolve conflict or manage anger. You'll learn how to change unhealthy patterns and identify which relationships can be made healthy and which are not good for your long-term recovery.
Treatment should include family outreach. Expect rehab to involve family weekends or evenings and connect your loved ones to recovery resources of their own. The National Institute on Drug Abuse explains that programs like family behavior therapy can create a better living environment, teach parenting skills and help everyone use recovery tools in real life, practical settings.
The key to recovery is connection. If you connect with other people in recovery, you will get your real needs met. Healthy relationships are a great foundation to build a life of recovery.
When you include your family in your recovery, your relationships can begin to heal. When loved ones learn how to care for themselves at the same time they learn more about substance use and recovery, they are better able to set boundaries and guidelines that will keep everyone on track.
If you don't have relationships you want to save, rehab is still there for you. You gain immediate access to social support. Aftercare, including group therapy and alumni events, is a great way to continue building positive relationships with like-minded individuals.
Ending the Effects of Addiction on Relationships
No matter how much you think your drug or alcohol use is only your concern, it affects every relationship you're in. But no good relationship has to be lost to addiction! Your recovery helps your loved ones too. And as everyone begins to heal, relationships become stronger, healthier and more supportive than ever.

Christian Democratic Party
A congregation of people for SOLIDARITY and CONSCIENCE for LIFE
Families & Communities
Marriage & the Family Unit
We will campaign for the repeal of all legislation that undermines and devalues the healthy and natural attributes of family life and the family unit.
We recognise the importance of the family unit and its critically important role within society.
We value marriage (between one man and one woman).
We believe that marriage should be cherished, respected and supported. Tax breaks should be given to married couples, especially those with children.
Parental Choice & Consent
We respect the rights of parents regarding their children's upbringing, education, medical needs etc
The Children are our Future
Our children are our future. If we invest in them we invest in our future. We must ensure that every child has access to a good education and quality health care. To protect our children, all pharmaceutical companies must be forced to have some degree of liability regarding their products (i.e. vaccinations). Presently, they are shielded from all liability for harm caused by vaccinations.
We believe that all children, especially those at pre-school / primary school age, should be protected from all inappropriate sex education and that parents must have a choice as to what degree of information is given to their children.
Children should also be protected from being 'sexualized'.
Children should also have more access to outdoor play areas and events, such quality playgrounds and outdoor education activities, through schools, in term time
Each and every person within society has the right to feel safe and be protected from discrimination. We believe that every individual has a right to life - from conception to natural death. We also believe that those more vulnerable within society (such as the unborn, elderly, disabled and the ill) need even more protection and care.
Adoption & Abortion
The CDP believes that abortion is never an option and that adoption should be better valued, supported and respected.
We will support the dignity and rights of men, supporting them in their roles as partners, husbands, fathers and providers.
We will stand against the derogatory way men are often portrayed in advertising.
Both men and women deserve equal respect.
We will campaign against female circumcision / FGM (female genital mutilation)
world wide
and fight to defend the dignity of all women no matter what age or race, and value their presence both at home and in the work place.
We will support the dignity and rights of women, supporting them in their roles as partners, wives, mothers and providers.
We will stand against the derogatory way women are often portrayed in advertising.
Both men and women deserve equal respect.
