sigh....today Hungarian F1 will be hard fr Ferrari, beaten to front by even BMW, who are strangely resilient this season. just heard Alonso been bumped off the pole position due to delaying tactics that cost Hamilton his outlap. for some reason, had taken a extreme dislike that seem to grow since his 1st yr in F1.
Ferrari supporter.....actually in this order- Ferrari, Honda and BMW. never been Mclaren, dun know why.
theres a 612 fr sale in the mkt...any interest from anybody here?? seems like the 612 never seem enticing to many??? any reasons? or am i dreaming?
Which brand has a better car to drive..??not comparing the price..!!and most of all attracting a lot of attention..hahahah Ferrari,Lamborghini and Porsche...????maybe these car's 2007 f430 , 2007 gallardo, GT3...?? Some of you guys here had own all these cars mention here, so maybe you can share your experience
thanks for everything this morning fong. last time i felt this sore was the morning after i got married. ouch...
Dont worry, this morning is just the breakin, next time, we shoot for longer sessions, I'll bring some form of water based lubricant, thus less evidence of our morning romps Esp since you said you not tired, all we need to do is to find the perfect position, then you can perform the accurate excertion of strength and pumps, thus prolonging the enhanced experience of circular movements...
yup back. Great drive this am... 1hr 50mins from toll to toll. 2hrs 30mins... door to door. Kids just slept all the way down.
Walking Damages The Planet From The Sunday Times... Walking does more than driving to cause global warming, a leading environmentalist has calculated. Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby. The sums were done by Chris Goodall, campaigning author of How to Live a Low-Carbon Life, based on the greenhouse gases created by intensive beef production. Driving a typical UK car for 3 miles [4.8km] adds about 0.9 kg [2lb] of CO2 to the atmosphere, he said, a calculation based on the Governments official fuel emission figures. If you walked instead, it would use about 180 calories. Youd need about 100g of beef to replace those calories, resulting in 3.6kg of emissions, or four times as much as driving. The troubling fact is that taking a lot of exercise and then eating a bit more food is not good for the global atmosphere. Eating less and driving to save energy would be better. Mr Goodall, Green Party parliamentary candidate for Oxford West & Abingdon, is the latest serious thinker to turn popular myths about the environment on their head. Catching a diesel train is now twice as polluting as travelling by car for an average family, the Rail Safety and Standards Board admitted recently. Paper bags are worse for the environment than plastic because of the extra energy needed to manufacture and transport them, the Government says. Fresh research published in New Scientistlast month suggested that 1kg of meat cost the Earth 36kg in global warming gases. The figure was based on Japanese methods of industrial beef production but Mr Goodall says that farming techniques are similar throughout the West. What if, instead of beef, the walker drank a glass of milk? The average person would need to drink 420ml three quarters of a pint to recover the calories used in the walk. Modern dairy farming emits the equivalent of 1.2kg of CO2 to produce the milk, still more pollution than the car journey. Cattle farming is notorious for its perceived damage to the environment, based on what scientists politely call methane production from cows. The gas, released during the digestive process, is 21 times more harmful than CO2 . Organic beef is the most damaging because organic cattle emit more methane. Michael OLeary, boss of the budget airline Ryanair, has been widely derided after he was reported to have said that global warming could be solved by massacring the worlds cattle. The way he is running around telling people they should shoot cows, Lawrence Hunt, head of Silverjet, another budget airline, told the Commons Environmental Audit Committee. I do not think you can really have debates with somebody with that mentality. But according to Mr Goodall, Mr OLeary may have a point. Food is more important [to Britains greenhouse emissions] than aircraft but there is no publicity, he said. Associated British Foods isnt being questioned by MPs about energy. We need to become accustomed to the idea that our food production systems are equally damaging. As the man from Ryanair says, cows generate more emissions than aircraft. Unfortunately, perhaps, he is right. Of course, this doesnt mean we should always choose to use air or car travel instead of walking. It means we need urgently to work out how to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of our foodstuffs. Simply cutting out beef, or even meat, however, would be too modest a change. The food industry is estimated to be responsible for a sixth of an individuals carbon emissions, and Britain may be the worst culprit. This is not just about flying your beans from Kenya in the winter, Mr Goodall said. The whole system is stuffed with energy and nitrous oxide emissions. The UK is probably the worst country in the world for this. We have industrialised our food production. We use an enormous amount of processed food, like ready meals, compared to most countries. Three quarters of supermarkets energy is to refrigerate and freeze food prepared elsewhere. A chilled ready meal is a perfect example of where the energy is wasted. You make the meal, then use an enormous amount of energy to chill it and keep it chilled through warehousing and storage. The ideal diet would consist of cereals and pulses. This is a route which virtually nobody, apart from a vegan, is going to follow, Mr Goodall said. But there are other ways to reduce the carbon footprint. Dont buy anything from the supermarket, Mr Goodall said, or anything thats travelled too far. ###
Here in Singapore, our free access to various shipping lines and popular travel routes for international shipping and container traffic has lead to our total dependance on imported foods. The low cost of transport and frieght has once again impacted our vision on the effects of importing food products. We fail to embrace the fact that our neighbouring lands, has an agricultural base that has been long neglected as one ofour core sources of food in the region. Our political sitigma has time after time affected our ability to tap the natural resources that are so close by. We must forgo the political stigmas of the past, and begin to try and understand that this economy and region is no longer a cluster of nations who via for economical and fisical position through the muscle of power might and finances, but it is not a muster of economical regions in a global community and village. Globalization is not an issue that begins with the joining of superpowers, but the ability to look beyond the scope of political and goverence bitterness. Globalization is the ability to look at our neighbours, and realize that bitterness will not make the region a better place when one surpasses the other, it is the ability to find common ground that global issues are problems that we share and should engage together as a global village, not as competitive governments vying for position. Transport, shipping, autombiles, industralization are all factors that contribute to ones economy, but drags down the enviroment. It is an evil we cannot live without, but it is a system of life that can be better controlled. Our first step is to stop belittling the actions and pondering on the political past that continues to mare our neighbouring ties. It is now a time to engage that soon, the problems will not be pondering why the GDP growth of one's nation is lower or higher, but to realise that the global enviorment in which we live in today is the home of our children and it is the current generation's responsibility to tackle the problems of the present.
