In May, the Harrington's made a quick yet enjoyable weekend trip to Tokyo, Japan were a dear friend was teaching English and being visited by additional dear friends. Mid-August, that same friend-who-teaches-English-in-Japan made her way to Daejeon, South Korea to crash the Harrington's couch and get a feel for the country they so dearly love.
After conquering some poorly given directions and finding her way to Galma Station, Mandy enjoyed her first evening in South Korea around a game of Redneck Life with a handful of foreigners whom the Harrington's count among their dearest friends.
Considering Melissa had two more days of obligatory summer camp instruction, Mandy enjoyed her first morning in the land of the Morning Calm sleeping in, wandering and awaiting the return of Melissa. Upon the return of the hostess, the girls decided to explore a few wonders of Dunsan-dong and within moments found themselves entering one of Daejeon's 'Cat Cafe's'.
Here, guests pay a flat rate to enjoy a complimentary drink (coffee, tea, lemonade, etc.) and the company of any cats which can be convinced to be social. Mandy and Melissa spent a majority of their visit calling out 'Here kitty, kitty' and waving random toys in the air while other customers put down some cash to purchase some cat treats and therefore be swarmed by these sweet little bundles of warmth and cuteness.
Before allergies could settle in and cause problems for Melissa, the girls made their way to 5.5 Chuncheon Dalk-galbi restaurant where they joined Mike and Hyunhee for a fantastically spicy and delicious dinner.
During dinner, as should be expected with Mike and Hyunhee sitting at the same table, the Korean card game of 'Go-Stop' was mentioned. Seeing how Mandy has seen a number of Korean drama's, she immediately recognized the name of the game and was a willing learner, leading to the continuation of the evening which took place at the Harrington's Galma abode.
Never being one to play 'Go-Stop' and starting to feel a bit ill, Melissa opted make a plum cobbler for Hyunhee and snack on the mochi (rice cakes) which Mandy had brought from Japan.
After a good nights sleep, the girls woke in the morning and both prepared to make their way to Samcheon Elementary school where Mandy would receive a small glimpse into the life and work of Native English Teacher's in Korea. Having been thoroughly entertained by student role-plays and Melissa having said her final good-bye to Samcheon Elementary school, the two girls returned to the Galma apartment for a short rest before heading to old down-town with Hyunhee.
Unfortunately, Melissa continued to feel ill and was not the best of down-town shopping company. Fortunately, Hyunhee was able to offer her assistance and help Melissa acquire some medicine to ease the discomfort. Therefore, the afternoon progressed with Hyunhee and Mandy sharing a large bowl of Pat-bing-su and Melissa drinking hot tea.
After a dinner of dalk-galbi leftovers and a few more rounds of Go-Stop the entire crew drifted off to sleep anticipating a road trip and full-out vacation glory when morning arrived.

Did September 11 change the world?
Did the world change on September 11? I didn’t think so on September 12 and I don’t think so now.
It was a spectacular event, brilliant in conception and execution and awe-striking in destruction of a cityscape.
It greatly annoyed the Americans who have responded with great force to exterminate an evil.
Why such force? Because true evil doesn’t become good by persuasion. Bad might and often does. But evil is beyond redemption.
Only a pacifist, which Keith Locke very nearly is, can coherently oppose the Afghan adventure. The rest is humbug, dishonourable ideology or dishonest anti-Americanism.
To be sure, the United States, as the great post-1945 imperialist power, has, both as a country and through its corporate citizenry, done many people and even whole countries damage. Imperial powers do. Right is might. Ask Maori.
But the United States is not evil, as Bin Laden is. The good it does promoting the values of the open, inquiring, inventive society far outweighs the ill it does others and itself. I think Helen Clark, once anti-American, has now grasped that.
But when it stops, this just war against evil, will 2001 turn out to be a pivotal year in world history?
Is Bin Laden the historical match of Lenin, whose system set back many decades the (still fragile) liberalisation and (mostly still delayed) enrichment of hundreds of millions in central and eastern Europe?
Is Bin Laden the historical match of Hitler, who killed 6-7 million Jews and laid waste a whole continent and thereby triggered, in reaction, its great democratic unification?
Is Bin Laden the historical match of Mao, who derailed material advance for decades as he slaughtered, starved and impoverished in body and mind tens of millions of his subjects and thereby, in reaction, tied the United States into the building of Japan and the east Asian “tigers”?
In short, was September 11 the equivalent of the storming of the winter palace or the burning of the Reichstag or the Cultural Revolution?
Has September 11 pitchforked the world into a new era of terror? Maybe we will look back in 20 years and see that it did. But for now it looks no more than a marker in a century-long technological extension of terror’s reach and destructive power.
Did it unveil the makings of fundamentalist takeovers of states with muslim populations? Maybe in 20 years we will see that it did. But the early evidence suggests not.
Did it expose a new war of religions, the confrontation of islam and judaeo-christianity, oil-backed muslim masses against the technologically rich, effete peoples around the North Atlantic? Maybe in 20 years we will see that it did. But the early evidence, for all the overtones of medieval crusade in the American revenge, is unconvincing.
And, most important, will September 11 prod rich societies to see a duty to forgo, for decades, significant material wealth and work alongside poor societies to develop — in the way they, not we, see fit — the civil and economic conditions in which liberty and wealth flourish?
Maybe in 20 years we will see that it has. But the evidence now is flimsy.
Political leaders talk loftily of attending to the “root causes of terrorism”, by which they seem to mean “poverty”. But the root causes of terrorism are psychological or psychosocial, not simply socioeconomic. It is the building, over generations, of civil societies where now there are only enslavers and enslaved which will best beat brigandry — and in turn poverty.
The United States is an unlikely leader of such a project. It rejects an international court of justice and equivocates over the United Nations. After Afghanistan, will we hear of an American-led coalition for the Congo, the globe’s most ghastly tragedy, the exemplary failed state?
I expect not. But if Christmas has any meaning in a godless age, that is what “changing the world” on September 11 would mean — would have meant.
The meek do not inherit the earth. The strong do. This year’s Christmas message might have been that the strong will help the meek become strong. Then the world would have changed.
* The Speaker, Jonathan Hunt, has asked me to say that after reading my “offensive” column last week he ordered Timara wine deleted from parliamentary functions.

You can create a glorious presence for the Lord Jesus Christ to be in your very midst twenty four hours a day! The Lord will always be in your presence when you pray or praise Him.
When your heart and mind are set on the Lord Jesus Christ He will always be in your midst. When our hearts are off of the Lord and set upon envy, selfishness or strife, then every evil thing will be drawn to your midst. James 3:16 states, “For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.” You can make the choice of living a life filled with His mighty glorious presence or a life filled with every evil thing. You can see the light and glory of God flowing around and out from some Christians. You can also see the darkness around many Christians who are in strife and self-seeking. We have witnessed many people miraculously healed by the presence of God when they took their heavy hearts off of the world and set their eyes and heart on the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus Christ and the angels of God Almighty will always surround and dwell with you when you are praying or praising Him. God Almighty created you so He could pour out His love upon you and to hear your praises of Him continuously. All through the Bible, God Almighty was always there to dwell and inhabit the praise of the children of God whether in danger or in the good times.
Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

What Does The Dynasty Shingle Offer Over The Cambridge?
At Horch Roofing, our team is often asked how the Dynasty line of shingles by IKO compares to the shingle manufacturer’s Cambridge line. Both styles of asphalt shingle provide industry-leading protection for your home against the elements, but which one is right for your home or business? Let’s take a closer look at the differences between the Dynasty shingle and the Cambridge.
Horch Roofing was started by Peter Horch under a different company name in 2002. Peter started working either alone or with one other person doing light construction and roofing. Over the next four years he worked hard to establish a premium quality product, delivered in a timely fashion, with outstanding customer service, and all for a fair price.
Working closely with the midcoast's leading home builders Horch Roofing established an outstanding reputation that resulted in many customer referrals. Having a positive relationship with the customers, based on strong communication, was of high importance.
In 2006 Horch Roofing started to expand, ending the season with 4 employees and completing 87 projects. By the end of 2007, Horch Roofing had grown to 10 employees and completed 165 projects. In 2008 we expanded our expertise to include gutters and EPDM rubber roofing for flat roof application. We ended the year with a fleet of ten vehicles, 20 employees and finished 248 projects. The recent growth is a testament to our commitment to customer service.
Horch Roofing is a member of the Camden-Rockport-Lincolnville,Union, and Damariscotta Chambers of Commerce. Peter also serves on the board of directors at the Penobscot Bay Regional Chamber of Commerce. Horch Roofing looks forward to remaining active in community events in the future. We truly hope that you give us an opportunity to work on your home or business project. We are confident that you will be pleased with our services, our stability in the community, our commitment to quality, and our overall customer service.

Why go to a costume party when you can go to a church service instead? There were no tricks or treats for Hailey and Justin this year, who celebrated Halloween differently than most celebs. Take a look!
No couple costumes for these two! That’s because Hailey Baldwin, 21, and Justin Bieber, 24, would rather be worshipping! The newylweds went to an Oct. 31 church service in casual clothing, unlike most other A-listers who hit the streets in crazy costumes. The “Baby” singer wore a gray tee and cuffed tan pants, his newly buzzed hair hidden beneath a backwards baseball cap, while his model wife paired an all black outfit with a striped blazer. And while they may have spent the spooky holiday a little different than most, to each their own! We bet they had an amazing night at service.
Besides, Hailey has sported so many Halloween costumes over the years, that it was probably nice to take a break. Who could forget the time she wore a pink Barbie leotard with a matching headband and white leg warmers? Too cute! She has also dressed up as Sandy from Grease, a gyspy and a schoolgirl — complete with broken glasses. She even stepped out in a group costume with Kendall Jenner, 22, and Justine Skye, 23, once. She was Bubbles, the blue Powerpuff Girl, but heated up the look with a crop top, a mini skirt and thigh high stockings.
So while we’d be lying if we said we weren’t disappointed not to see Hailey and Justin in couple costumes this year, we understand why they’d want to spend the night their own way.
Besides, it’s not like this comes as a shock or anything! This isn’t the first time that these two have headed to church together — far from it! They go on dates to services all the time, whether they’re in Los Angeles, Miami or New York. So here’s to spending Halloween the holy way!

It turns out that companies around the world are missing a key point: that global leadership is distinctly different from the leadership skills needed in a hierarchical, command-and-control domestic operation. The global economy requires a new set of leadership skills-vertical, cross-functional and across cultures and nationalities-that were not as critical even a decade ago. In What Is Global Leadership?, the authors draw on cutting-edge research conducted by Aperian Global, as well as first-hand interviews with successful global leaders, which highlights 10 key behaviors critical to international settings. Whether one is leading an entire organization, a business unit or a geographically dispersed team, this essential guide provides an important resource for developing global leadership talent.

text: Eduardo De Filippo was a Neopolitan playwright, director, and actor known for his work in Italian theater and cinema. He was born into a family of dramatists--his father was also a playwright and his mother a costume designer. In 1931 he formed a theater company with his sister, Titina, and brother, Peppino. The three siblings also often appeared together in films. He penned several popular plays for the company throughout the decade, culminating in two works that would become his best known, "Napoli Milionaria" in 1945 and "Filumena Marturano" a year later. Titina became so well known for her portrayal of the title character in the latter film that she was often called Filumena by the Italian public. De Filippo made a film version of "Filumena Marturano," again with Titina, in 1951. He also maintained a healthy career as a film actor himself, making his debut in the 1933 comedy "I Sing for You Alone." As a director De Filippo enjoyed success throughout the '40s and '50s, often helming the film versions of his own plays. In 1954 he starred in Vittorio De Sica's comedy "L'oro di Napoli" with Toto and Sophia Loren. He continued to write, direct, and act up until 1981. Much beloved in his home country, he was made an honorary senator of Italy that same year. He died in 1984.

Why have my products stopped selling?
This is a question that many ecommerce ask themselves. A product with frequent sales suddenly stops selling for no apparent reason. This is not due to a loss of demand, because until a few days ago sales remained constant, there is no problem with their availability, because the product is in stock and ready to buy on the website. So what happened?
In most cases, the answer to this question is very simple; we are no longer competitive. Prices in the online world are constantly changing, today we may have a good market price, but if we do not keep an active watch, it is probable that tomorrow we will be 15% more expensive than the competition and the sales will plummet.
If we take into account the sales that we have stopped obtaining for all the products in this situation, we will understand the great economic loss that this causes to our ecommerce month by month. In addition, not only will it cause economic damage, but we are also giving our customers the opportunity to buy in the competition, and who is to say that they will come back to us later?
For this and other reasons, a tool for monitoring competitor’s prices is essential in ecommerce. The return on investment is guaranteed, because with just a part of the sales that we will avoid losing, we will have recovered its cost and more.

So, I’m working with an injury. Again. I spent much of last year with a tweaked hamstring and now I’ve done something to my shoulder. It happened a couple of weeks ago, and I was sure it would last only a few days, but I still have a fair amount of pain and limited range of motion. Pain is no fun, but the hardest part for me is always having to modify my practice. Chattarangas? I don’t think so. Arm balances? Handstands? Off the daily roster. I’ve never had a shoulder injury before and I am fast realizing the importance of the shoulder.
The stages of injury for me are always the same: 1) denial, 2) frustration, and 3) acceptance. Even with all of the mindfulness practice I’ve done over the years, it can still take me a good solid week to get to stage three. That’s the point where I finally realize that I am stuck with my injury for the foreseeable future, and I stop pouting over it and start looking for what can be learned.
Over the years, injury has become my biggest teacher. And while there is a part of me that wishes my shoulder would hurry up and heal, there is another part of me that is grateful for this opportunity to take a pause from my routine, and wake up into a new moment.
How do you deal with injury? What kinds of injuries have you had and how have you dealt with them? What have you learned? Write in and let us know!
I have had a neck hernia, this actually got be back into yoga. When I was a teenager I could do halasana, sarvangasana, matsyasana, padmasana without much effort. I never had a serious yoga class, only a teacher from India who demonstrated the poses once and I just imitated. So after a while I stopped exercising, stopped doing yoga and spend all my time working on an internet business at my desk. I gained a lot of weight(was always overweight though), developped bad posture and when I got back into exercising I developped a neck hernia. This got me back at taking hatha yoga lessons, I am still regaining the flexibility I had during my teens.
The first stage of any injury should never be denial. It should always be caution. “No pain, no gain,” BS. Pain equal less gain maybe even debilitation. When you feel a strain, stop. That’s it for now. Go through easy range of motion movements. Evaluate if it is an injury. Will it still hurt tomorrow? Ice it. Take an anti inflammatory if available.
You say it is hard to lift your backpack up because of your pained shoulder? Here are some tips. Make sure the backpack is close to your body. Gravity is not your friend. Don’t reach out to lift it. Bend your knees and keep your back straight. Slip your arm in and lift with your legs. They are stronger. If possible put the backpack on a chair first. Then simply slip in your arm and lift. Sometimes if we have an injury we overcompensate by using muscles and joints that we usually do not use as much. This can lead to further injury…Good luck.
Like many of us, I came to first came to yoga years ago because of pain. Too many hours of standing was causing low back pain that was not acceptable as an ongoing condition in someone so young. I was so grateful for the almost-immediate relief that came from yoga that a lifelong practice resulted. It took time and patience, but I haven’t had back pain for years.
While I have been blessed with very few injuries, the wiser part of myself finds it fascinating how much I’m willing to ignore my body when it tells me to back off. Whether it’s a deep-seated competitiveness, a lack of mindfulness, or (increasingly) an unwillingness to modify my practice for an aging body, I still sometimes manage to ignore that the purpose of the practice of yoga is more about consistent breath and a calm, focused mind, principal aspects of yoga no matter what the body’s state . So, like you Karen, I find myself very grateful for the sometimes-harsh, always-present teacher of my body when it tells me “That’s enough” and I’m listening closely enough to hear.
Eleven months ago 1) my partner was convalescing from deep-vein thrombosis, 2) my mother had several strokes and was hospitalized, and 3) my 6-year-old granddaughter was spending a couple of weeks with us and I was to fly her back home. In the middle of all this (and two days after Christmas), I broke my ankle. Yes, my first reaction was denial. “I couldn’t possibly have broken it! Yeah, I heard a snap, but it’s just a sprain, right?” and “I’ll ice it; it’ll get better.” It didn’t. There was no one to even drive me to Urgent Care, so the next day I finally drove myself! The wonderful Urgent Care doctor said, “Oh, you have way too much going on!” and she ordered me the Cadillac of walking casts. In the next two weeks, I took care of my partner, helped my father settle my mother into yet another hospital room, then flew my granddaughter through two airports to her home.
Through all this, I learned just how strong I am, but I also learned to listen to my body better. Yes, I was still a caretaker for others, but I added myself to that list of people to take care of. I decided that a bone break was pretty serious, and that I needed to be patient with myself.
Nonetheless, I was in yoga class two months later. In downward dog, I was a tri-pod with my ankle in the air, and that was okay. I spent time in Yin Yoga poses putting myself inside my ankle–existing there to investigate any pain, discomfort, or sensations–and to send it healing energy.
Thanks for sharing this amazing story of strength and patience!
Luckily , I haven’t been injured to the point of being down for the count . Too often we forget that health, in the various forms be it strength, cardiovascular, flexibility ect can be taken away in the blink of a warrior pose.
After reading this article, I am reminded how very fortunate I am to be flexible and springy, as I like to say. With that being said, it also gives me a better sense of how to transition posture to posture , pose to pose and so fourth and more importantly to slow down- take a breath ad just be.

Oh my am I familiar with injuries, having lived through shoulder surgery, torn hamstring muscle, and periodic lower back pain. I do not stop doing my yoga , but only do restorative yoga and meditation when I am injured. I am a lot more mindful in my practice and a lot more grateful for my health. Thank you for sharing.

Thinkspace (Los Angeles) – is pleased to present new works by Curiot in Warped Passage, opening May 28. Michoacán artist Favio Martinez, known by his pseudonym Curiot, currently lives and works in Mexico City. Raised in Costa Mesa, California, the artist relocated to Mexico, following his completion of high school, hoping to reconnect with his estranged cultural roots. He completed his BFA at the Universidad Michoacana in 2008 and since then has continued to hone his unique aesthetic in both his ambitiously scaled site-specific public mural pieces and his gallery works.
Renowned for his experimentally surreal and colorfully vibrant imagery, Curiot creates visual worlds with an anthropological suggestion. Simultaneously ancient and contemporary, they’re inspired by Mexican folklore, handicraft traditions, textiles, and patterns. His larger-than-life sensibility often borders on the abstract, as he combines the human and the animal into awe-worthy aggregates. Ambiguously totemic and ancestral, the works have been known to explore the primal coexistence, and contention, of the human and natural worlds. An advocate for the preservation and respect of this tenuous balance, Curiot has created a mythological shorthand with a wealth of characters and recurring symbols, immediately recognizable as his own.
In this new body of work, Curiot explores transition and metaphysical passage, working intentionally within a loosely defined future tense. In this dizzying new quasi-futuristic realm, the mythological creatures of his self-devised mythology have passed on, transmogrified, and are reincarnated as depictions of deities and icons for worship. Exploring both loss and expulsion, metamorphosis and inheritance, Curiot offers a labyrinthine splitting of worlds and paths.
Act 1: Warped Passage will feature a collection of new paintings, two new digital editions, an adventurous installation component, including musical accompaniment from Franz (Pira MD Records) as well as an offsite mural completed for the RFK Schools project via Branded Arts.

Like the news, fresh content favored. It is great when you constantly add new content but it is not so great when you only make small updates to existing content.
Search engines are looking for 300 words per page with your keyword mentioned 3 to 5 times. It is unrealistic to expect to rank for a web page that has less than 300 words.

How much does rolling resistance increase after adding sealant to a road bike tire? I think it's a given thing that nobody likes flats, but plenty of people do not want to give up a couple of watts for better puncture resistance. That's why I've been doing tests with sealant in a Schwalbe One Tubeless. Today I will share this information on Bicycle Rolling Resistance so everybody can decide for themselves if it's worth the trade-off.
I have been doing more fun tests with a Schwalbe One Tubeless that are only possible with a tubeless tire, like testing the rolling resistance of an inner tube. For this article I have used the same Schwalbe One Tubeless I've used before, I've done tests with 0, 20 and 40 ml Stan's NoTubes Tubeless sealant and reran all tests.
Adding sealant makes only a very small difference, noteworthy is that the rise in rolling resistance doesn't seem to be linear with the amount of sealant added to the tire. The first 20 ml only makes a very small difference, I suspect this is because a small amount of sealant sticks to the rim and bead where it doesn't add any rolling resistance.
After I removed the tire from the rim after testing, it contained 40 ml of tubeless sealant. There was quite a big puddle at the bottom of the tire, this should give very good puncture resistance. After removing 10 ml, there was still a decent puddle, removing another 10 ml resulted in not much of a puddle left. Based on these facts, I think the optimal amount to use should be 30 ml for a 25 mm road bike tire.
What about tubeless sealant in inner tubes?
These tests are run with a Schwalbe One Tubeless, which is a true tubeless tire that doesn't need sealant to hold air. Schwalbe does recommend adding some sealant to make this tire almost immune to punctures. You might think adding tubeless sealant to inner tubes to have the same effect but from experience I can tell you that it doesn't.
When conducting the puncture resistance tests, I use a standard butyl tube filled with Stan's NoTubes tubeless sealant. After puncturing the tire it does seal but it takes longer and after reinflating to high pressures, some holes start leaking again. The funny thing is that the outer tire does seal the hole and the air escapes through the rim and valve hole. Especially bigger holes in inner tubes don't seal as well when compared to a carcass of a tubeless tire which is much thicker. Tubeless sealant in inner tubes does work but not as well as in true tubeless tires, this is a big advantage for the tubeless tires.
The increase in rolling resistance of adding tubeless sealant to road bike tires is much smaller than I expected it to be. When using 30 ml of sealant in a 25 mm tire, total rolling resistance for a pair of tires increases by 1 Watt at a typical road bike speed of 23mph / 36 km/h. In my opinion, it definitely is worth it to run tubeless fluid in road bike tires.

Jacob and Justin Rossi have officially committed to Northern Kentucky University’s men’s basketball team, giving the Norse two more big men in the post.
The Rossi twins, both 6-foot-8-inch power forwards at Franklin High School in Ohio, have been playing together for 13 years and are going to continue as teammates at NKU.
It was not an easy choice for the twins, according to Jacob, because they had offers from different colleges, including Manhattan, Belmont, Morehead State and Toledo.
The twins chose Northern Kentucky because it was the best fit for them. They said it is close to home, they like the style of play and the coaching staff.
They are also very excited about NKU’s possible transition to Division I, and Jacob said the likely move was a huge part of the deciding factor for the two brothers.
Bales says he worked the team extremely hard, so he is confident they will succeed at the next level.
The work ethic shows, according to Jacob, who set a Franklin record for the first triple double and another record for most blocked shots (17).
Even though they play the same position, each Rossi brother brings something different to the offense.
According to Justin, he is the better three-point shooter, and Jacob is the better post player, pulling down 20 boards against Northridge.
The Rossi twins played other sports growing up, but basketball was the only one that they stuck to for a long period of time.
They played football in eighth grade and, according to Justin, they were the best players in the Coach Pitch, their town’s baseball league.
Growing up, the Rossis always watched the NBA and still do to this day.
The twins hardly watch college basketball, and they don’t like the NFL very much at all; but if the NBA has no season, then that means they will have to sit through two NFL seasons before they can watch basketball again.
The twins have aspired to be in the NBA since kindergarten, according to Jacob, and were unhappy about this year’s recent lockout, because they would not see their favorite players compete throughout the winter.
Justin’s favorite NBA player is Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers, because he likes his playing style at the power forward position.
Jacob’s favorite is Vince Carter of the Phoenix Suns, because he thinks that Carter is the best dunker of all time.
The Rossis want to major in finance. Justin plans to work on Wall Street, while Jacob wants to minor in criminal justice and intends to work in the Secret Service.

Establish paternity to avoid losing parental rights | Stange Law Firm, P.C.
If a mother wishes to give a child up for adoption she generally must have the consent and agreement of the child's father. However, if no man is included on the child's birth certificate and no man acknowledges the birth of his child, the actual father may lose the right to object to the adoption of his child by third parties.
Men who believe that they may have children that they do not know about are encouraged to talk to family law attorneys about what to do to protect their paternal rights. Seeking out children and acknowledging them as the biological offspring of an individual can be an important part of a father protecting his future with his children and the development of their relationship.

Factors To Consider When Looking For a Massage Therapist Massage has so many benefits such as stress-relief, pain relief, and even relaxation. That is the reason why people have no qualms about the relatively high prices of some sessions. However, not all massage sessions we have gone to have been fruitful which is why it is important that you select the right therapist. How then do you choose a good massage therapist? Make sure that the massage therapist has a license to practice. You will be puzzled at the number of massage therapists who are practicing unlicensed. That is why for your sake you should ascertain the qualification of a therapist and the best way would be to see their license because the government only gives therapist licenses if they are qualified. It is good to discuss with the massage therapist what you aim to get from the session. Some of the aims of getting a massage session is to get stress and pain relief or to relax. It will be easier for them to deliver what you need when they know what you want. As they say communication is key in any exchange.
The location of the massage session is also an important point of consideration. If what you want is a relaxation massage then it is advisable to go to a massage parlor. The parlors for this kind of massage is usually set to provide relaxation by dimming the lights, putting cool music and some scents that are calming when inhaled. However, if you need pain relief you may prefer to do it in your home to reduce movement. For this reason you need to find a flexible therapist.
Look at the costs of the therapist’s service. Even though money should not inspire your choice, go to a massage therapist who charges reflect the quality of service that they offer. Ask around from your friends and family who have had massage services that were satisfactory. By so doing you are more likely to consider both quality and price before you make a choice of a massage therapist. Look at the reputation that a therapist has before getting services from them. The best way to know their reputation is by getting feedback from their past clients. Go to a massage therapist with a good reputation but be wary of those who seem to leave customers dissatisfied. Look for a massage therapist that has a thorough knowledge of many techniques. If they are thorough in many techniques, you save time and money that would have been spent looking for different therapists for different services.

Stories seeps into your consciousness like a well-designed piece of furniture. At first you realize its presence in the room, but until you sit in it, you don't realize its exquisite detail and thoughtful construction. As an active member of such sound installation galleries as his own Gallery Studio Five Beekman, LaMonte Young�s Dream House and Diapason, sound artist Michael J. Schumacher specializes in creating music that hovers at the edge of perception and becomes part of your space rather than just something to which one listens. He admits to wanting to create music that goes beyond the concert hall. But Stories is not Satie�s Furniture Music � the pieces are too rich in timbre to be mere aural decoration � nor are they ambient in an Eno-esque way, for Schumacher prefers writhing pointillist attacks.
The pieces here are abstract, open-ended explorations of tone and texture, built up from layers of acoustic and digitally generated sounds. Conventional rhythms, harmonies and structural development are absent, and in their place Schumacher weaves a restless counterpoint. �Still� simmers as a stream of glitch and static, the near-tactile surface punctured by violin and cello squiggles, and echoing bass smears, an electric rainforest alive with chattering creatures. �Pulse� strikes a similar unsettling balance between organic and electronic tones. Flowing MIDI grand piano contrasts sharply with a tiny, needling tone that sounds like a marble being rolled about in a metal tube. An occasional voice, raspy and tattered, speaking an unintelligible language, heightens the otherness.
Aside from the piano on �Pulse,� acoustic instruments exist merely as sound sources, their traditional uses usurped by the extremely abbreviated lengths of individual tones. �Two, Three and Four Part Inventions� and �Room Pieces New York� utilize the full range of instrumental color, from human voice, jagged strings, woodwinds and skittering percussion to gurgling synths and dustings of static. The mix is entirely democratic, no sound or musical gesture more important than any other.
Schumacher�s sound pieces resemble, in their distant mood and juxtaposition of flashes of activity with moments of stasis, early electro-acoustic music, especially Stockhausen�s Kontakte. But unlike those meticulously constructed works, Schumacher generates his pieces on a laptop with random processes. He removes the hand of the composer, making Stories feel soulless in parts, as if all human presence is absent. In other words, Schumacher succeeds. It�s not the musicians or the composer, but the room in which it is played that gives Stories its soul.

Recently, the Network appeared information that the popular singer Beyonce gave birth to twins.
According to media reports, it happened at night on June 17. Beyonce decided to go to the hospital to prepare for childbirth.
“We are all people, – said the singer. – Even if you look perfect on magazine covers, even if you’re successful, it does not save you from sadness, resentment, heart wounds, anxiety and fear. To find a partner for fun and joy easily, much harder to find someone who will share with you the difficult times”.
Recall that the expectation of kids at Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z only became known in February of this year. Congratulations to new parents with such a happy event!

It does make a bit of sense that the mini tornadoes are triggered by the urban environment. It's well known the city centers create a bubble of heat that rises up. If there's any cooling effects nearby such as mountains or water, that heat differential from the urban core and the suburban/rural surrounding area could potentially trigger a tornado.
We've had similar mini tornadoes here in Massachusetts last year. You never know how many until you are part of sky warn. Again, they have started near the warm urban center and the colder rural space.

Dental Sleep Medicine - MidAmerica Center for Dental Wellness & Aesthetics, P.C.
An estimated 18 million Americans suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The condition is caused when the tongue or other soft tissue in the mouth moves while you are sleeping and blocks your airway. Sleep apnea actually causes you to stop breathing, which could lead to severe health problems and early death. It is also linked to teeth grinding (bruxism), headaches and daytime sleepiness.
Traditional Sleep Apnea treatment is the use of a CPAP machine. While these machines work well, many patients are unable or unwilling to continue using them due to noise and discomfort of being hooked up to an air mask while sleeping. They also make traveling difficult. Our office is now offering an alternative treatment that has been recommended by sleep apnea experts for mild cases or for those who have found CPAP machines too much of a problem. A Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) is a special type of mouth guard for treating sleep apnea. The mouth guard fits over the upper and lower teeth to keep the lower jaw forward. This keeps the airway open while you sleep.
Mouth guards require an appointment to take a mold of your teeth. This ensures that the mouth guard will be custom made to fit properly in your mouth, making it more comfortable to wear and more effective.

In recent days, I have found myself using the term "prophetic" ministry less and "revelatory" more. We are promised in Scripture, access to the mind of Christ through the Spirit of revelation. The very essence of prophetic ministry is gaining understanding and articulation of His mind. It allows entrance to the depths of God. This distinguished gift grants access to His thoughts and ways and will always remain consistent with His Word. When our messages have come fresh from the heart of God, they are saturated with Spirit and Life and impossible to be returned to Him void.
There are many benefits to the revelatory gifts in God. It is by the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation that we begin to understand our inheritance in Christ— the hope of our calling and the unfathomable riches of His glory. It also provides strategic insight and guidance to the Saints of God. Furthermore, the epistles of Paul teach us the proper functioning of the revelatory ministry in the Church can also produce conviction, repentance and restoration. The prophetic inspiration of the Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth and unveil the mysteries of the Kingdom set apart and reserved for this generation.
The prophetic anointing will also provide supernatural insight into the dilemmas of life encountered by many and break the bonds of confusion and oppression. All of these and more are attributes associated with the prophetic mantle of the Spirit. The needs and demands of this present generation, requires that our wisdom come from above. Even the noblest of men's abilities, pales in comparison to the words of wisdom that come from God. This form of counsel is essential for our spiritual and natural well-being and prosperity.
Even so, it is imperative to recognize, there are other sources of revelation that can substantially hinder our ability to be effective— if not properly discerned. Our adversary will oftentimes release deluding revelation from the heavenly places in which the forces of darkness dwell. This is done in an effort to circumvent the purposes of God through His Church. Naturally, there are those who are not Christians who set themselves against the Church and the work of the Holy Spirit. These would include but are not limited to, the occult, new age and others.
However, for the sake of this brief article, we are focusing attention on revelation released in and through the body of Christ. We need to be attentive to the fact that our adversary will attempt to cloud and disrupt the flow of insight we desperately need. That is not a feature to fear...only to identify and discern. We need not have a spirit of timidity as it relates to the revelatory ministry. Nonetheless, we must also embrace wisdom and knowledge when discerning the source of revelation.
Presently, the Lord is allowing many in the Church to see things taking place in the “second heaven” as well as portions of His perfect plan in the Third Heaven. The enemy would have people believe all is well, by calling evil what God maintains is good and emphasizing things which are good as though they were base or foolish. There is presently a deceptive voice that is attempting to find an outlet to hinder the preparation of God's people for the end-time battle.
From this place, spirits of divination and sorcery attempt to masquerade as the Holy Spirit creating disillusionment and discouragement in our camp. When people continue to unknowingly entertain revelation that comes from the second heaven, hopelessness is produced in their hearts. In reality, it is the impartation of the plans of Satan. It is imperative for the Church to understand this reality and be prepared for it.
There is a provision of Heaven for this generation, unprecedented in its power and Glory. However, it requires the refining work of recognizing seeds of corruption in our soul that can hinder our ability to fully appropriate His Heavenly resource. Spirits of deception will endeavor to make people believe they are spiritually rich and increased in goods, having need of nothing. When in reality, we are in desperate need of God and His garments of salvation and righteousness.
We have an open invitation to boldly come before the Throne of grace; yet, it remains a sacred and holy journey, requiring clean hands and a pure heart. The fruit of those who genuinely experience God this way will be evident. Revelations and expressions birthed in the imagination of man are likewise apparent. When people are moved by the inclinations of the soul, it opens the way for the imagination to formulate images and mental pictures that clearly do not carry the authenticity of “Third Heaven” revelation.
Misleading messages can manifest through prophetic words of flattery and self-promotion. That is not to say that a word coming from the Lord is always correctional or chastening...quite to the contrary. His plans for us are for our welfare and not calamity. His design for us is to give us a noble future and hope. He is however, pointing out areas needing grace and extraction, but always with a spirit of reassurance and expectancy. His admonitions are galvanized in charity and comfort to our spirit- not necessarily to our flesh.
It is our endeavor to live above the realm of worldly influences that imprison people in doubt, discouragement, fear, rejection and all the other attributes of the fallen nature. Our aspiration is to ascend above that place, into the Spirit, where our blessings of peace, hope, faith and charity can be accessed. The anointing of the Holy Spirit helps us to do so. There are those in leadership, who carry an anointing that can be imparted, to help individuals learn to walk in the Spirit.
Even so, that does not constitute a "third Heaven" revelatory experience where the visions and manifestations of the Lord are obtained. Isaiah, Paul and John record the virtue of that dimension and the awesomeness and awareness of God we desperately need. The Lord ardently desires for us to experience Him in this way. He is calling us to “come up here” as overcomers who share in His nature.
Deceiving forms of false prophetic ministry will also attempt to persuade people that it is useless to serve God in radical purity and faithfulness or to earnestly keep His word. As it states in Malachi 3:15, "So now we call the arrogant blessed; not only are the doers of wickedness built up but they also test God and escape." This will not be done with open words of rebellion, but with subtle patterns of justification and blame shifting that would inhibit the ability of the people to stand righteously before God and share in His highest provision.
There is coming a dangerous form of false prophetic ministry in the order of Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus. Even though some accurate information is conferred in the revelation, it must be grounded in God's Word and acknowledge the work of the Holy Spirit through the grace of God.
In this passage, we discover the apostle Paul rebuking the spirit of divination resident in the young slave girl, who had been accurately prophesying who they were and their Apostolic mandate. Apparently, the insight provided through this young girl must have been genuine and impacting, as it brought much profit to her masters. Deliverance of this girl actually initiated persecution against Paul and Silas from the beneficiaries of her false anointing.
In 1987, Bob Jones had a revelation concerning a second shuttle disaster that was to indicate a timing factor with God and pointed to this very subject. Naturally, that is not to say that the Lord initiated the disaster, only that when this occurred, it would mark a signpost for the Church. We have attempted to locate documentation of this prophetic word but have been unsuccessful. I did however, speak with another highly regarded brother with an international ministry, who clearly recalls the prophetic word and confirmed the essence of it.
The heart of the message is that the second shuttle disaster will mark a timing in which God will open the door of Heaven to grant access to the Third Heaven and His Throne room. This will be conferred for the purpose of releasing substantial insight with understanding. There will be "Throne room" prophets who receive their revelation from that lofty place. This is an invitation.
However, there is a warning that attended the word. With the accompanying increase of authority in Godly revelation, there will be a corresponding counterfeit anointing released as well. These will be, in large part, people with genuine gifts of revelation who allow it to be polluted and wrongfully administered. Baalam would be a further example of this form of prophetic presentation. Although possessing a clear prophetic gift, he unfortunately used his gift and authority for selfish gain. This obstacle is realized by employing true spiritual gifts through the soul rather than the spirit. Normally this occurs through wounds or when ambition and/or greed are present.
Careful examination of the Scriptures will disclose that Balaam possessed a genuine gift and was recognized as a prophet. He actually worshiped God with the proper method of sacrifice necessary for approaching God, as did Israel.
When the princes of Moab attempted to employ Balaam, he persuaded them to lodge for the evening while he inquired of the Lord (Jehovah). The Bible declares that God (elohiym) came to him and spoke with him concerning the request of Balak.
Unfortunately, as recorded in 2 Peter 2:15, Balaam "loved the wages of unrighteousness."...the sin of covetousness, which God declares to be idolatry. The adversary had gained an advantage by appealing to ambition and greed. The precious prophetic gift imparted to Balaam had become corrupted and he is forever remembered as a stumbling block before the covenant people of God. The book of revelations depicts this scenario as one that must be overcome to enjoy the blessings of the "victorious ones."
While the Scriptures clearly admonish us to "earnestly desire" spiritual gifts, it is the spirit within a person utilizing the gifts that is the distinguishing factor. The question must be asked, “is it our heart to truly build the kingdom of Heaven or to establish our name and individual ministry?” It is surprising how easily those two lines of demarcation can be blurred. History has proven that. We need the Holy Spirit to guard and protect our hearts from every form of corruption that would prostitute or merchandise the priceless gifts of God.
Another of the profitable aspects of revelatory ministry is enlightenment to the plans and strategies of the adversary set against the Church. As the apostle Paul openly announced, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood. Our contention is with principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. From that domain, plans and strategies are formulated against the work of God and His people. There are numerous prophetic people being endowed with insight and understanding into this realm to discover and disclose the schemes of the adversary. This is important to mobilize the troops for prayer/ intercession to overcome his attempts to inject his poison.
I have often been intrigued by the many creative ways utilized by military forces to spy on their enemies. Oftentimes, the victory in a battle hinged on the validity and accuracy of intelligence information provided by spies. When an opposing force had insight into the plans and strategy of its enemy, the victory was generally sure.
This is also true in the spiritual battle presently taking place in our generation. Our God is all knowing and He is willing to share His insight with us when we become trustworthy. He is willing to enlighten us to the plans of the enemy set against specific individual lives, churches, cities or conferences. By having this "intelligence" our forces can be mobilized to counterattack through prayer and intercession and also identify the enemy's spies who attempt to come into our camp for the purpose of disruption and division.
Elisha would torment the king of their enemies by relating to the king of Israel plans and strategies formulated in their private chambers. This spiritual principle is not only valid but immensely valuable in its application.
The Lord is preparing a people who will witness the dawning of the day highlighting the return of God's Glory. The coming days will provide greater dimensions of darkness in the world, yet our hope is for the appearing of God's weighty Presence. As emphasized in Revelations 3:20, the Lord stands at the door and knocks and to HIM who hears and opens the door to his heart, the Lord will dine with him. This is an individual commission and requires an individual response.
It is imperative that we guard against doing so much FOR God, when our invitation is to do things WITH Him. There is great value in learning from the mistakes of the past. Many distinguished leaders found themselves captured by doing things for God and unknowingly lost their sensitivity to the voice of His Spirit.
Our highest purpose is to have relationship with Him. Intimacy with the Lord is the essence of our design in creation and the highest purpose in the restoration of all things. To walk with God in the cool of the evening, is still our foremost aspiration.
The earth is entering into a season of travail. The world systems will be powerless in responding to the needs that are about to be present in the earth. Even those obtaining revelation through spirits of divination are prophesying essentially the same thing. Only when anointed with the Holy Spirit, can the Church impart wisdom and revelation that will provide genuine light in this dark generation.

Garden pasta salad is a favorite with my family.
Garden Pasta Salad is a great salad but a little different since the dressing is sweet and sour. We really like this for a change from the usual pasta salad. You can use your imagination and add other veggies, too.
Garden pasta salad is wonderful with any meal anytime.
Prepare pasta according to package directions for salad. In a large salad bowl add pasta and remaining ingredients. Toss with dressing. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Makes about 8 to 10 servings and keeps several days in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
Combine ingredients in a saucepan and cook on low heat on top of the stove until sugar dissolves. Pour over salad.
Don’t Forget to Pin Garden Pasta Salad!

I promised to make this, this weekend. I did, I love it..I know it will be made many times. Thank you.
Thank you so much Susan. So happy you like the salad. There are so many good ones on the site. You will have to try one each week. lol. Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for letting me know.
I bet the red, orange or yellow peppers would be great in the salad. I prefer them to the green one. Thanks for posting.
I would add some cheese cubes to this ,,,I love cheese.
Are you supposed to refrigerate after you pour the dressing on it? or is it supposed to be served warm? Looks good, and I can’t wait to try it.
Tried this today substituting red and yellow peppers instead of the green pepper….also added some cut up cold hard boiled eggs for protein and served for lunch….bowl was licked clean…thank you for sharing !!!
I made this today and brought it to work it was a HUGE hit. I’m not a pepper fan so i omitted the green pepper but it was still so yummy and fulfilling as well.
I also wanted to add that I added a whole alvocado to my salad too. before I added it to the mixture i drizzled lime juice over the alvocado to help prevent browning. Again this was a huge hit!! Thank you so much!
Loved this salad!! I used fresh basil and parsley from my herb garden instead of the dried. It will be in my favorite file from now on. Thanks so much. 🙂 My husband declared it a keeper!
This looks great, Judy—we had something similar for supper last night. I love cold pasta salad in the summer. I like that we can put almost anything from our garden in it…and it tastes good!

These companies were charged along with the former Chief of Army Staff, Air Vice Marshal Adesola Amosu; the former NAF Chief of Accounts, Air Vice Marshal Jacob Adigun; and the former NAF Director of Finance and Budget, Air Commodore Olugbenga Gbadebo, for fraud.
A prosecution witness of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) explained to the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos how funds paid into the Nigerian Air Force’s (NAF) Special Emergency Operation account with Zenith Bank Plc. were transferred to Delfina Oil and Gas Ltd. and Mcallan Oil and Gas Ltd.
The witness, Tosin Owobo, who is the Deputy Detective Superintendent officer with the EFCC, said Mr. Amosu wrote to the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) itemizing the need for maritime security and made a proposal for about N4 billion to fund the project.
He alleged that former Director General of NIMASA Patrick Akpobolokemthe subsequently released the sum of N3 billion, paid in three trenches, for the purpose, but the money was moved out to private accounts a few days after the payment.
“The money was paid in three installments of one billion [naira] each. We discovered that as this money came in, they were diverted to various oil and gas companies. These accounts were identified from the NAF account statement,” Mr. Owobo said.
He added that this prompted the agency to conduct further investigations into the accounts the money was transferred into.
It would be recalled that the three naval officers and some companies were arraigned before Justice Muhammed Idris on Wednesday, 29 June 2016 for a 29-count charge brought before them by the EFCC. They pleaded not guilty and were released on bail with some conditions.
A few weeks into the trial, the embattled air marshals opted for plea bargains but backed out because of the terms put forward by the anti-graft agency.
The trial continues tomorrow, 26 January 2017.

Ji Hao quickly wrote something on a triangle-shaped jade talisman, then flicked his fingers and sent the jade talisman flying away, followed by a hundreds of meters long bolt of lightning and a series of popping noise.
Ji Hao sent out over a hundred jade talismans like this, to give early warnings to Si Wen Ming, Yao Meng and the other friends of his. Then, he threw a heavy kick on the toad lying and crying on the ground and forced it to lead the way to that so-called deepest area of the river.
White Dragon River extended for hundreds of millions of miles. It was the top-tier large river system in this whole area, and included the territories of hundreds of earls and marquises around Yao Mountain territory. Even Cloud Dream Lake couldn’t be compared with this river.
More importantly, this river had a large number of branches, and by the sides of the main channel were thousands of meters tall towering mountains. With such a geographical feature, the river would normally flow rapidly between mountains, and that scenery would be stunning. But at the time of the flood, aquatic creatures in the river had been rampantly raising the water, such that the water-level had even gone higher than the mountains on both sides. Mountains were submerged, and the water surged down over the mountainsides. The mountains contributed to the power of the water, allowing it to create even worse damage.
While crying loudly, the toad led Ji Hao and his people to the upper reaches of the river. On the way, they saw groups of aquatic creatures. Countless different sized water-kind spirit creatures, even the other spirit creatures living in the woods around White Dragon River, all of them had been crazily raising waves to flood the surrounding area.
Ji Hao commanded his army to sweep across. The matter was serious, therefore, Ji Hao didn’t have the time to differentiate those spirit creatures. All captured spirit creatures were beheaded and thrown into the water, until the river water turned red, like a river of blood.
Killing all the way, five days later, the area in the front became extensive. A series of towering peaks were connected, looked like lotus petals. Two enormous mountains stood facing each other, with a misty water area in the middle.
This was where the few main branches of White Dragon River met. The mountains in this area were steep; the few large branches surged down rapidly, clashed against each other and created a dangerous whirlpool.
Observing from a distance, Ji Hao found that this water area was tens of thousands of miles in radius. Waves rolled, and other than the main channel of the river, three large branches had also been roaring into this area from both sides each. Six branches met in this place, bumping into each other and merging into that giant whirlpool.
From that long distance, Ji Hao heard the rumbling noise from the whirlpool. A strong friction was generated between the river-water in the whirlpool and the surrounding mountain, peeling off soil and sand from the mountains layer by layer, making the surface of the mountains as hard and sparkling as diamond.
Without a doubt, this whirlpool wasn’t so huge at first. No one knew how many years it had been milling until it reached such a magnificent shape.
What made Ji Hao frown were a hundred and eight water-tank-sized chains reaching out of this whirlpool, six chains as a group, and each group of chains tied a floating mountain. They fixed the floating mountain in the air, less than three meters above the river surface. White Dragon River God probably learned this skill from someone else.
The surrounding mountain were towering, while these eighteen floating mountains were merely hundreds of meters away from the water surface, and were completely sheltered by the surrounding mountains. Those towering mountains were just like a screen. If Ji Hao didn’t get so close today, he wouldn’t even discover these eighteen floating mountains.
Ji Hao couldn’t tell for sure how many years had White Dragon River God spent on building this place, because these eighteen floating mountains were all cast with a thick layer of lava mixed with liquid iron. By now, these eighteen floating mountains seemed to be entirely metal, and had a crazily great defensive power.
On these floating mountains, countless watchtowers stood in ordered lines, with lines of holes below them. From time to time, numerous spirit creatures would walk in and out of those holes and climb up and down those watchtowers, while showing their teeth and waving their arms.
At first glance, Ji Hao found tens of thousands of watchtowers on a single floating mountain. On each watchtower were ten to a hundred water-kind archers, vigilantly glancing around. A large number of water-kind archers on the eighteen floating mountains even made Ji Hao’s scalp numb.
Ji Hao opened his erect eye and carefully observed the bows and arrows of these archers, his face turning dark as a result.
Those were not roughly crafted bows and arrows that he imagined. Instead, all bows and arrows used by these water-kind archers had spell symbols sparkling faintly on them, and were entirely made from alloy, decorated with complicated and detailed patterns. These bows and arrows could even be described with the word ‘luxurious’, as they were made with great artistic awareness. Apparently, these bows and arrows were based on the special taste of Yu Clan.
The bows and arrows used by these water-kind archers were actually all good-quality ones produced by the non-humankind. Even though the quality of these bows and arrows was not top-grade, as they were produced by the non-humankind beings for sale and not for their own armies, these were still powerful, efficient weapons. With just enough magic crystals to provide energy, each arrow could puncture a foot thick alloy from fifteen meters away.
As Ji Hao saw, these water-kind archers had millions of arrows and bows with such a high quality. Unless all warriors were at the level of Magus Kings or above, any human army that dared to attack this tridimensional defense line formed by these eighteen floating mountains would be annihilated, and every Senior Magi would be shot into sifters.
"Damn it!" Standing beside Ji Hao, Feng Xing, who had the best eyesight, popped out his eyes in shock, staring at those well-equipped water-kind archers on those eighteen floating mountains. He couldn’t even believe his eyes.
Every since the army set out from Yao Mountain territory to clean up rampant water-kind creatures, all water-kind armies that encountered Ji Hao’s army suffered miserably. Among all aquatic creatures Ji Hao had seen, only Divine-Magus-level enormous spirit aquatic creatures could have one to two good weapons, and the others barely had any.
Many weak aquatic creatures simply sharpened the wooden sticks they found in the water with their teeth to use as their weapons.
To a great extent, these humble equipment made the water-kind armies vulnerable when facing Ji Hao’s army. Elite warriors under Ji Hao’c command chopped these aquatic creatures as easily as cutting tofu with large knives, and nothing was difficult at all.
However, this White Dragon River Army they faced right now was equipped with great weapons. The armors worn by those water-kind archers were in relatively lower quality, but at least each archer had a metal or fish scale armor that had a considerable defensive power. Added with the defensive system in this place, if Ji Hao launched a frontal attack, not too many warriors under his command would be able to survive.
"Where did they get so much money?" Shaosi had been doing the financial management for Yao Mountain territory, and at the moment, she was totally shocked. Over ten million high-quality bows and arrows produced by the non-humankind, that was a great fortune. As the God of a river, White Dragon River God shouldn’t be able to earn so much money, not even if he sold himself in parts. He should never be able to afford all these, should he?"
Looking at the roaring whirlpool, Ji Hao helplessly sent out another tens of warning messages.

A lot has changed around Elon’s campus since I first arrived three years ago. We have more buildings, new majors, and all new menu options in Elon’s dining halls. For example, there are healthy dishes at all locations, from salads and fruit to multiple protein options. I have found myself always leaving Elon Dining halls with a big smile, full stomach, and stronger friendships.
I even met my best friend at Acorn Coffee Shop over two cups of coffee and chicken salad sandwiches!
Not to mention friends with the dining workers, who’s beaming faces greet me each day and make me eager to return the next day.
On Tuesday, February 20, I had the opportunity to walk all around campus and sample all of the great changes Elon dining has made since my freshman year.
Digital menu boards give the dining halls a modern feel.
When I think of Lakeside breakfasts, I picture the omelet bar and Sunday morning waffles.
Upon walking in, I immediately noticed the digital menu boards featuring the menu, nutritional information, and allergens for each available dish. I was impressed by the signs around meals indicating which dishes incorporate fresh ingredients and locally sourced products.
After I noticed the long line wrapped around the yogurt bar, I noticed all of the options: the fresh fruit – strawberries, green and red grapes, melon, pineapple, mango, oranges – granola and muesli, and three flavors of Chobani Greek yogurt: Plain, Strawberry and Vanilla. No wonder there was such a line. The options were amazing!
After making a strawberry yogurt bowl topped with grapes and strawberries, I headed over to the Comfort station for cage-free scrambled eggs, sweet potato fries, and a small breakfast burrito. I sampled the new Sir Kensington Organic Ketchup – it was tasty, flavorful, and a healthier option!
My friend had a custom omelet with bacon and onion, and a bowl of vanilla Greek yogurt topped with strawberries and granola. After we finished our breakfasts, we got cups of coffee to-go and headed over to the library!
After my 12:25 class ended, I headed over to Freshii for a refreshing late lunch. Instead of opting for the Teryaki Twist like I did last year, I decided to try something new and chose the Pokii bowl.
The Pokii bowl has kale, brown rice, avocado, edamame, sesame seeds, and ginger with sesame dressing and spicy yogurt sauce. I also chose chicken as the additional protein. Happy with my bright pokii bowl, I sat outside on the Lakeside Patio and devoured it.
Side note: Winter Garden now has iced coffee carafes! I’ll have to keep that in mind for a hot day or whenever I’m in need of a caffeinated pick-me-up.
With a full stomach, I decided to stop by Fountain Market, the grocery section next to Boar’s Head for some take-away snacks. I couldn’t believe all of the great new options that Elon Dining has to offer!
The Gluten-Free wall of snacks has expanded immensely to include multiple types of Glutino pretzels and cookies, Beanito’s Bean Chips – with flavors such as Garden Fresh Salsa, Hint of Lime, and Black Bean, and a variety pack of Glutenfreeda oatmeal featuring Maple Raisin, Brown Sugar, and Apple Cinnamon with Flax.
Also, the fountain market has THREE iced coffee options now by the beverage station! As an avid coffee drinker, I love to know that there are so many places with iced coffee around campus.
As someone with a heavy sweet tooth, I naturally made my way over to the dessert section. I noticed the many Ben & Jerry’s options, Hazelnut Chocolate Chip and Fudge Brownie Talenti Gelato pints, and to my delightful surprise – a large selection of Halo Top ice cream! As a healthy, low-calorie alternative to traditional sugary treats, I can finish the whole pint without ever feeling guilty. My personal favorite flavor is peanut butter cup, but other flavors available include Cookies and Cream, Mint Chip, Birthday Cake, Pistachio, and Sea Salt Caramel.
Elon’s campus teems with places to study – many of which feature dining options (Acorn, Argo, Moseley, Daniely… to name a few)!
Wanting to try something new, I used one swipe for tea and two small sliders. I sampled the new brioche bun slider options at Argo as well – the Turkey, Brie, and Apple and the Chicken Pesto. I highly recommend both, especially the chicken pesto.
Feeling slightly under the weather, I asked the two Argo workers which teas they would recommend. Per their suggestion, I ordered a hot Carolina Honey Tea. One of them called after me as I left, “I hope you feel better!” It honestly made my day.
Heading home to hang out before dinner, I walked past Acorn. While Acorn is known for its M&M Carnival Cookie, the Acorn Delight Cookie remains my personal favorite. As a combination of peanut butter, chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips, the Acorn Delight tastes even better after being microwaved for 10 seconds.
I chatted with two of my favorite workers, Joyce and Andrea, who I’ve known since the first week of my freshmen year here at Elon. Walking into Acorn is always a breath of fresh air, as I know I am always guaranteed to see familiar smiling faces, asking about my day and telling me about theirs.
Pulled Pork sliders at Clohan!
Hungry again, I met some friends for dinner at Clohan Hall. I tried Tuesday night’s dinner special: pulled pork slider with coleslaw, a side of Greenworld’s cheesy cauliflowers (which taste just like mac and cheese!), and seasoned carrots. We sat in a big cozy booth in Greenworld and exchanged stories from our weekends. Afterwards, the three of us split a big bowl of chocolate ice cream from Clohan’s ice cream bar.
It was an eventful day back in the dining hall, sampling old favorites and new dishes. Not only did I enjoy the few snacks I ate by myself, but I enjoyed hanging out and eating with friends.
After all, food brings people together, and food tastes better when you eat it together.

Crown Trade‘s expertise were recently used by Bootham School in York, to protect the historic building.
Crown Paints Specification Team were called in to attend Fox House’s windows, situated on Portland Street in the city centre. Crown Trade Stronghold Exterior Gloss and Crown Trade Stronghold Exterior Primer Undercoat were specified for the job.
Contract Sales Manager at Crown Paints, Nick Hargrave, explained that due to the building’s location, the windows had deteriorated as they are subject to pollution from the busy road as well as being exposed to all of the natural elements.
Specifically formulated for use with the Stronghold Exterior Gloss, Crown Trade Stronghold Exterior Primer Undercoat offers long term protection for exterior timber as well as correctly prepared metal work.
With a proven durability of six years, the high-performance solvent-borne glass offers a flexible finish for exterior wood.
A product that would protect the windows and last for the long-term was required and the Stronghold Exterior range will do just that, explained Nick Hargrave. The flexibility of the products means they work with the timber frames well and offer UV protection, he added.

Since the Queensland government announced its plan to introduce Australia’s toughest liquor lockout laws earlier this week, a petition has been launched to stop any 1am lockouts from being implemented in Cairns.
Created by Cairns local Jeffrey Rufino, the petition hosted on Change.org is calling on the state member for Cairns, Rob Pyne, to vote against the government’s controversial proposed laws, which include a 2am last drinks policy and 3am last drinks at venues which agree to implement a 1am lockout.
“Our local MP Rob Pyne is sticking to the party line, rather than listening to and representing the will of the Cairns Community,” the petition reads.
“The proposed law changes stem from problems experienced in Brisbane, however the government is hell bent on forcing early lockout and closure across the state.
The petition claims Cairns’ public transport system isn’t strong enough to cope with the proposed lockouts, and suggests the regulations would damage the city’s night-time economy. The petition also suggests having linked ID scanners for all venues trading beyond 2am, as a preventative measure.
“This will weed out the tiny percentage of trouble makers and let this generation of young and emerging Cairns adults enjoy the freedom of choice that generations past have,” says the petition, which has gathered over 250 signatures since launching yesterday.
The Queensland government’s proposed lockout laws were to be debated in parliament today. If they do eventually pass, they will be the toughest late-night drinking laws in Australia.
A 3am lockout currently applies to all late-trading licensed premises across Queensland.
