Move Over Kale; This is the Healthiest Vegetable
In This Article
Every year, one food is listed as the "must-eat" food of the year. This year, it looks like watercress is the leafy green to beat. Full of essential vitamins and minerals, watercress provides many health benefits. Read more below!
Although kale is the current darling of the health food industry, new research discovered by the William Paterson University of New Jersey in 2014 has uncovered that there are several vegetables that are healthier than the world's most popular green.
Topping the list was the unlikely green watercress. Watercress has long been used as a garnish, in tea sandwiches, and occasionally in vegetable mixes. However, health trends have overlooked this water-based lettuce in favor of other, larger greens.
It turns out, that may have been a mistake. Of over 100 vegetables profiled for nutrient density, watercress tops the list with a score of 100. Researchers determine a vegetable's score by how much of a person's daily vitamin requirements could be met by eating 100 grams of the vegetable. Kale, on the other hand, had a score of just 49.7.
If you're curious about what makes watercress so healthy, read on:
Nutrients in Watercress
These are the biggest nutrients contained in watercress.
Vitamin A, K, and C
The three largest concentrations of vitamins in watercress are vitamins A, K, and C. In 100 grams of watercress, there is about 96 percent of your daily requirement for vitamin A, over 300 percent of your daily intake requirement for vitamin K, and 72 percent of your daily recommended intake for vitamin C.
Vitamin A is essential for eye health, for boosting the immune system, and for growing healthy cells. Studies indicate that watercress is beneficial in maintaining eye health and possibly even reducing cancer risk, due to the high concentration of vitamin A and antioxidants.
Vitamin K is an undervalued nutrient that has recently been uncovered as a highly beneficial vitamin. Vitamin K is used to build strong bones, bolster the immune system, and even in preventing heart disease. Vitamin K is also linked in several studies to a reduction of plaque in the brain, which may help prevent the onset of diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Vitamin C, is obviously beneficial for the immune system, but it also acts as an antioxidant and can help work with other vitamins to build healthy bones and to reduce iron deficiency.
Watercress also contains medium amounts of many vital minerals including magnesium, selenium, manganese, copper, iron, and potassium. Calcium is necessary for heart health, muscle health, and bone and teeth health. Magnesium is essential for almost all bodily functions- particularly efficient thyroid function. Potassium is essential for regulating blood pressure and sodium levels in the blood.
B Vitamins
Watercress contains many of the important B vitamins that are important for proper cell, brain, and energy functions. Watercress contains riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, and thiamin.
Flavonoids and Antioxidants
Watercress is packed full of minerals and antioxidants. Watercress contains calcium, copper, potassium, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorous. It also contains the flavonoids carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Flavonoids are used to develop healthy cells and fight free radical damage. Manganese works together with flavonoids to boost the antioxidant power of other nutrients.
Watercress is one of the few vegetables that contains gluconasturtiin. This is what gives the leaves their somewhat spicy flavor. According to studies, when gluconasturtiin is converted into the body, it converts to 2-phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), which has been identified to help inhibit phase I cancer enzymes (mono-oxygenases and cytochrome P450s).
Scientific Studies on Watercress
There have been numerous studies conducted on the health benefits of watercress specifically. Watercress and Lung Cancer In 1995, a study published in the Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prevention Journal found that when smokers at watercress, a cancer-causing chemical in their blood was neutralized.
Watercress and Free Radical Damage
In a study conducted by the University of Ulster in 2007, researchers found that eating watercress daily was able to reduce DNA damage to blood cells and prevent damage caused by free radicals over a two-year period. This study also revealed that the compound found in watercress, phenylethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), was able to reduce blood triglyceride levels by 10 percent and an increase in lutein and beta carotene between 33 and 100 percent. These nutrients can reduce a person's risk of getting eye diseases as they age.
Watercress and Breast Cancer
Another study on PEITC conducted by the University of Southampton in 2010 found that the nutrient starved breast cancer tumor growth by turning off the signal that causes cancer cells to grow. According to the study researchers, "as tumors develop, they rapidly outgrow their existing blood supply so they send out signals that make surrounding normal tissues grow new blood vessels into the tumor, which feed them oxygen and nutrients." This means that by turning off the signal, tumors are unable to get enough blood to continue to grow.
Watercress and Prostate Cancer
In 2004, a study conducted on the benefits of watercress for prostate cancer found that when When human prostate cancer cells were exposed to PEITC, the multiplication of cancer cells and the production of tumors were inhibited. Additionally, the compound also triggered the death of existing cancer cells. According to this study and the breast cancer study, there is growing evidence that watercress is extremely beneficial in not only preventing the onset of cancer, but may even be able to reverse it. Although further study is necessary, currently all signs point to watercress as an effective and powerful cancer-fighting vegetable.
Other Watercress Benefits
Other studies have shown that including watercress in the diet regularly was able to cut down on risk for developing osteoporosis, anemia, colon cancer, and even heart disease.
How Much Watercress Do I Need to Eat?
100 grams of watercress is about 3 cups or about three large handfuls. This is quite a bit of leafy greens to eat in a day, but if you combine about a handful of watercress with some of the other top vegetable superfoods, then you will get a variety of nutrients and keep all of the positive benefits of watercress.
Other Powerful Superfoods to Add to Your Diet
In addition to watercress, the William Paterson University study listed several other surprising picks for the top 10 healthiest vegetables. These vegetables included:
As you can see, leafy greens continue to top the list for the foods that pack in the biggest concentration of nutrients. Many of these greens have a bitter flavor when consumed raw.
Luckily, almost anything tastes delicious when it is cooked with butter. You will find the following nutrients in each of the healthiest vegetables:
Chinese Cabbage: glucosinolates, vitamin A, vitamin K, B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, manganese.
Chard: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, B vitamins, choline, calcium, iron magnesium, copper, potassium, manganese.
Beet Greens: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, B vitamins, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese.
Spinach: vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, vitamin A, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, manganese Chicory: Vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, calcium, copper, manganese
Leaf Lettuce: vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, manganese
Parsley: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, B vitamins, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese Romaine Lettuce: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate
Collard Greens: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, B vitamins, vitamin K, choline, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese.
The study was conducted on 100 gram serving sizes, which is about three cups of raw greens. If you aim to get a full 3 cups of greens daily from any of the top 10 vegetables, you will ensure you receive the maximum cancer-fighting, and body-benefiting nutrients in these amazing greens.
However, when you have the choice, choose watercress as often as possible. Not only is it higher in complete nutrients, but it is also tastier than many of the other greens on this list. Beet greens, for example, are quite bitter when consumed raw- but taste much better when cooked.
Add More Greens to Your Diet this Year
New studies come out every year about what is the vegetable with the highest level of nutrients. Watercress tops the list this year, and it is an extremely healthy food to add to your diet on a regular basis.
All studies indicate that watercress is extremely beneficial in reducing cancer risk (particularly prostate cancer and breast cancer), protecting brain health, building stronger bones, and boosting the immune system. The main concentration of vitamins- A, E, and K- contained in watercress and other leafy greens are fat-soluble. This means that eating the greens along with a healthy fat source (such as by sautéing them in butter) will allow your body to absorb and use more of the nutrients. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it can be consumed raw and must be taken daily to work properly in the body.
A combination of both cooked and raw greens will provide you will all of the vitamins that you need to stay healthy throughout life. When you add watercress and the other top vegetables to your diet, you are working to dramatically improve the health of your entire body in the most efficient way possible. Watercress and the other vegetables on this list are amazing health foods that will set you up for a lifetime of healthy living.

The Bible states that unrighteous refuse to offer praise to God. Rom 1:21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. & Rev 16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.
But God's people have & always will be a people of praise. It isn't surprising that the Word of God reveals many ways to express our love, gratitude & worship to the Lord. A survey of Scripture reveals we are to praise God with our mouths, through our bodily movements& through the playing & singing of music.
Thee Hebrew words of the Old Testament demonstrate how believers are to use their mouths in praising God. (1) Hallal means "to be vigorously excited; to laud, boast, rave, & to celebrate." This type of praise is done with aloud voice. (2) Barak Is "to bless, to declare God the origin of power 7 success, prosperity & fertility; to be still." This praise may be quite & hushed, (3) Shabach, means "to commend, address in a loud tone, to shout." As we set our hearts on worship God acceptably, the Holy Spirit will teach us how & when to use our mouths in offering praise to God.
Bodily movement is also associated with praise, as we see in two old Testament words for praise (1) Todah means "to extend hands in thanksgiving." (2) Yadah is to worship with extended hands-to throw out hands, enjoying God."
It is time God's people realised that raising hands in worship is not a new charismatic fad; rather it is a scriptural principal. For example, the psalmist commanded, "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary & bless the Lord" (Ps 134:2). In Psalm 107 urges longingly " Oh that men would praise [yadah] the Lord for His goodness & wonderful works to the children of men."
So as you worship God, obey the leading of His Holy Spirit. Don't be afraid to stand, knell, bow, dance, clap your hands or lift them up to the Lord. Each of these forms of praise is perfectly scriptural when done decently & in order.
We are not only to use our mouths & our bodies in worship; we are also employ music in praise, Zamar means "to pluck the strings of an instrument, to praise with song," & tehillah is the word for singing in the spirit or singing the hallals or psalms. We can worship God through singing songs of praise.
We must not be afraid to yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit & to let Him teach us how to our mouths & bodily movements & our music to worship the Lord.
After we have brought our petitions to God our Father, we should return to praise. The words,
"For thine is the kingdom & the power & the glory for ever & ever," are idle words to most people. many believers do not realise that God has lovingly invited us to become participants in His kingdom, His power & glory.
"For the kingdom is the Lords," declared the psalmist Ps 22:28 & Jesus said "Thine is the kingdom Matt 6:13. He also said "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Lk 12:32.
Paul also teaches that we are partakers in God's kingdom. "Giving thanks to the Father... Who has delivered us from the power of darkness & has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son" (Col 1:12-14). To Timothy Paul said " & the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, & will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom: to whom be the glory for ever & ever" 2 Tim 4:18)
Therefore as you pray "For thine is the kingdom" praise God your Father who delivered you from the powers of darkness & translated you into the kingdom of love & light. Make the faith declaration " The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work & preserve me into His heavenly kingdom." Give God praise because He has invited you to be a participant in His kingdom.
David wrote, "In thy hand is power & might) 1 Chron 29:12), & he declared "Be thou exalted, Lord, in thou own strength so we will sing thy power" (Ps 10:12). God made the earth by His power for ever.(Ps 66:7) Yet God our Father has made us participants in His power. He gives strength & power to His people (Ps 68:35) & gives power to get wealth (Deut 8;18) He gives power to faint (Isa 40:29) & keeps us by His power (Pet 1:5) And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power (1Cor 6:14).
Jesus declared Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Lk 10:19 Just before His ascension, the Lord instructed His disciples.
Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." Lk 24:49 In Acts 1: 8 we read again the words of Jesus promising the power of the holy Spirit: But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. & in 1 Corinthians 4:20 He affirms For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. Give praise to God your Father because He has invited you to be a participant in His power & has made His power available to you. This what the psalmist says who the King of glory is: The Lord strong & mighty, the Lord mighty in battle (1 Chron 16:20) God Himself declares. I am the Lord: that is My name: & my glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images. Isa 42:8 God's Glory is the manifested perfection of His character, especially His righteousness. We know all people short of the glory of God (Rom 3:22), yet He has invited believers to be participants in His glory. Jesus made it possible as we see in Heb 2: 9,10 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. Paul assured believers that if we suffer with Him, we will also be glorified together. Suffering was of little consequence to Paul, for he knew that the presence sufferings cannot be compared with the glory which will be eventually be revealed (Rom 8:18) As we behold the glory of the Lord that is His character &ways of God exhibited through Christ-we are slowly changed into His image by the Spirit of God (2Cor 3:18),& the character & ways of the Father & the Son are formed within us. As we are Brought into Christ's likeness we will enter into eternal blessedness, for God our father has called us into eternal glory. (1Pet 5;10) Is it any wonder Paul charged believers that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory. 1 Thess2:12 David urges believers to witness to others of God's kingdom power & glory: All Your works shall praise You, O LORD, And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. Ps 145:10-13
We praise You Father, for thine, is the kingdom the power & the glory forever, yet you have invited us to become participants. May we never leave or enter Your presence without humbling bowing before You & offering a sacrifice of praise. May we proclaim with David: Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, And You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all. "Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name. 1 Chron 29:10-13
Prayer outline1. The Kingdom A. Praise the Lord because He has translated you out of the kingdom of darkness & into the kingdom of love & light. B. Make the faith declaration: "The Lord shall preserve me from every evil work, & preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom." C. Praise God because He has invited you to be a participant in His kingdom. II The power. A Praise the Lord because He has invited you to be a participant in His power. B Meditate on the power of God your Father. Measure your problems against His mighty, miraculous works & His great love for you. C. Make this faith declaration: "I am strong in the Lord & in the power of his might. I have been endued with power from on high. Greater is He who is in me then he who is in the world. My Father gives me strength & power to get wealth. He gives power to the faint. As my day so shall my strength be. He keeps me by His power. He has given me power to tread in serpents & scorpions, & power over the enemy. Nothing by any means shall harm me.
III The Glory A Behold the glory of the Lord-the character & the ways of God exhibited through Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to that you be transformed by the renewing of your mind by the Word of God. B. Ask the Lord to help you walk worthy of Him & to help you serve Him as He deserves to be served. C. Praise Him & give Him glory. If the anointed presence of the Lord seems to be fading in our lives this may be because we are not rising early day by day, worshipping & receiving from Him what we need. If we are not beginning each day by entering into God's presence with thanksgiving & into His courts with praise, we are carelessly neglecting God's exceeding & precious promises by which we are partakers of the divine nature (2Pet 1:4). & not allowing Him to be our righteousness, sanctifier, peace, healer, provider, banner, shepherd & the overflowing present One in us. Therefore often taking His name in vain.
If we do not set the rudder of of our life (that is our tongue) upon God's priorities for our life declaring, " Thy will be done in me, my family, my church& my nation," our priorities will seem to be upside down much of the time. If we are not praying specifically & tenaciously every day, "Give us this day our daily bread," Then we will not prosper in many areas. When we do something wrong we must confess our failures to Him & He will freely forgives the moment we do. If we don't rise every morning & say "I confess every known sin to the Lord, even the ones we don't know we have committed – I accept that you have forgiven me, & I also set my will to forgive those who have sinned against me." We do not need to fight battles of fear & depression, we can expect to win when we put on the Lords armour, then we know how to effectively wield the sword of the Spirit, or skilfully employ the shield of faith to ward of the devils attacks.
How can we fight the good fight of faith when we do not pray in our prayer language daily &live in an attitude of prayer. Praise may not continually flow out of or spirit to God, but we can & should put on the garment of praise (tehillah) for the spirit of heaviness by singing songs of praise to God. Isa 61:3 Each day Of our life we need to thank God that, because of the blood of Jesus, we can call Him Father. We must also praise His glorious names, appropriate his mighty promises & seek to sanctify His name through our manner of living. I am so busy these days, but it's mostly work for the Lord, so I have His peace inside of me, in my home & at church, this is because I prayer over myself, my family & my church, also this nation, "The Great South Land of The Holy Spirit," declaring that God's priorities in those areas are set in order.
I go boldly into His Throne room & declare that His righteousness, joy,& peace shall come & that His will be done. No longer am I worried of frustrating circumstances. Instead experience the abundant provision of Jehovah-jireh, He sees my needs ahead of time & makes provision for them, but I do not take God's blessings for granted. Every day in prayer I set my will to make God's kingdom my priority, & then I pray my needs, claiming & receiving God's promised provision. You too can experience more & more freedom from frustration by setting your priorities straight. The day you answer the call to prayer, He will meet your every need. If you are plagued by guilt or problems with people, remember you must forgive. Believe me that just doesn't happen automatically. Every day we need to forgive our debtors before we can receive God's washing & cleansing, then set our wills to forgive those who may have wronged us that day. As we learn to release & forgive our offenders & offences to God, we become candidates for the supernatural. If you want to stop letting the devil pushing you around, if you want to leave him sitting in the dirt for a change, you must learn to put on the whole armour of God each & every day, & pray a hedge of protection around yourself, your loved ones & all you have. Learn to overcome satan in prayer & by the blood of the Lamb & by the word of your testimony, if you do, you will be an overcomer. If Jesus needed to pray every day, how much more must we. In order to illustrate the importance of prayer in the life of our Lord, here is just one day in His life. After walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee calling Peter, James & John to follow Him & become fishers of men, Jesus went into the synagogue at Capernaum, there He taught the people, concluding His message by casting out an unclean spirit out of a man who had disrupted the service. Next He went to the home of Peter & Andrew & healed Peters mother-in-law of a fever. That evening when the sun had set, a crowd had gathered at the door of Peters home. They brought to Jesus everyone who was sick or demon possessed & He healed them. He may have been quite exhausted when His head finally hit the pillow. I don't think so because everything He did would have been in His Fathers strength. In the next verse we see Mk 1:35
Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. That pattern continued throughout Christ's ministry. At the place of prayer Jesus found the power & guidance He needed to fulfil His Fathers will each day. He was the Son of God, yet He prayed. Jesus was the busiest, most important man who ever walked the face of the earth, yet prayer was the primary focus in His life. It is time we made an agreement with God to meet Him every day, If you choose to make it early morning, jump out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off, don't roll over & mumble the reasons why you need more rest, get up & give your heavenly Father the first part of your day. If you need coffee to wake you up then those extra minutes spent in the kitchen will be time well spent. To develop an effective prayer life, you must overcome three enemies: interruptions, drowsiness &wondering thoughts.
The telephone & the doorbell can become dire enemies of the believer who seeks to make a discipline of prayer. That's why many choose to pray early morning before the distractions begin. David didn't have a telephone or a doorbell but he did have eight wives, ten concubines twenty two children & a kingdom to run, so it's not surprising that he chose to prayer early in the morning, in Psalm 5:3 he said: My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. If you feel the enemy of drowsiness when you pray you could try standing & or walking rather then sitting I ask the Lord to keep me awake & He does. If your thoughts wander & you have a difficult time concentrating, I generally come & sit quietly at His feet (so to speak) & sooner or later I come into His presence this takes time maybe ten minutes or much longer but I get in to the place where I can pray in His presence. Always pray aloud & not quietly in your head, Pastor Anne Edgar at Victory life Bible training Centre said that was only thinking about prayer & not praying.
I thank God for that lady, she taught me all I know about prayer. Always be sensitive to the Holy Spirit & pray over each request in the manner He directs, for God has sent His Spirit to come to your aid in prayer & plead in your behalf with groanings to deep for utterance (Rom 8:26). Learn to be sensitive by using your prayer language, praying in the spirit & listening for the Holy Spirit's promptings. At times the Spirit will lead you to verses of Scripture & turn them into petitions or bold declarations of your faith. Sometimes you may find yourself weeping or travailing over an urgent need. Sometimes you will break out into worshipful singing or laughter as God's peace & joy flood your heart. Prayer Guide. 1. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. A.

Time Out says
Yusho wants you to drink cocktails. You will have no problem with this. The vibrancy of the room, with its vintage furniture, mishmash of light fixtures and Pendletonesque fabrics, puts one in the upbeat mood for a drink. Just one thing: Don't go for anything other than the cocktail on draft, a bubbly, lemony shochu drink that is a riff on the Japanese cocktail chu hai. Whereas some of the other cocktails are just fine (the fruity Cate's Esters), and others are regrettable (the Alderman's Hodo-Hodo tastes like sweetened, watered-down whiskey), the chu hai has an addictive sweet-tart profile that makes you want to eat. And you want to eat at Yusho. The eating here is much better than the drinking.
That isn't to say you shouldn't drink here, of course. You have to drink, because these dishes—many of which take cues from Japanese yakitori—are drinking foods. What are you going to do, eat a trio of earthy chicken meatballs with a glass of water? Take down juicy chicken wings—which you dunk in bonito salt (the more the better)—with a cup of coffee? Don't be insane. Drink your drink. Slide the beef tongue off the skewer, drag it through some Sriracha, put it in your mouth with some massive pieces of (graciously tamed) elephant garlic. It's earthy, fatty, tender, spicy and begs for a beer. Ditto the tart and tiny pickled quail eggs, and the steamed bun filled with short ribs and topped with crunchy peanuts. Yes, the bun is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, and elegant enough that you could eat it with red Burgundy. But you won't. The beer, or that cocktail, will suffice.
Wine just doesn't seem like the thing here. Wine is for three-course dining, or a wine bar where you're going to eat a bunch of cheese and bread. There's little of either on this menu, which may help explain how chef Matthias Merges, a veteran of Charlie Trotter's, keeps the food so clean, so bright (will you think I've had too much shochu if I say "so shiny"?). After eight or ten of these dishes you may see patterns emerge: Fruits play a big role, as do nuts (and often they are used together, as in a very lovely, very sumptuous piece of tofu, topped with pineapple and walnuts). And yet still each dish tastes new. Merges tops onions with onions in his leek dish (they're tossed with miso and sprinkled with fried shallots), and he wisely offsets the gumminess of mochi (one of two desserts) by stuffing it with a crisp, candy bar–like combination of hazelnuts and chocolate. These dishes are so successful, and instill such high expectations, that when a dish shows up that doesn't perform as perfectly, it can be doubly disappointing. Twice-fried chicken is indeed crispy but ultimately nothing much more than chicken fingers. The tuna doesn't reach beyond your average maki roll, deconstructed. And the croquette of pig's tail that is set over the otherwise delicious "poser" ramen seems to fall into a trend trap that Yusho otherwise so adeptly avoids. Why would Merges bend to the public's will, with its endless appetite for fried foods and pork? Doesn't he know we need chefs like him, and restaurants like Yusho, if we're ever going to move past this porkiness? The public will come to Yusho, and the public will not miss the cheese and the fat. Because Yusho leaves little to be desired.

This place so soooo soooooooooo delicious. Hubby and I sat at the bar and did a multi-course tasting menu that did not disappoint. Not only are the dishes creatively envisioned, they are also impeccably executed. Udon noodles were tender, flavor combinations were interesting and satisfying. It doesn't hurt that the space is super cozy and charming. Definitely a great winter spot :)
Yusho's Sunday special is not one to miss out on--$25 for ramen, dessert and a drink, all day long. The space is beautiful, too, so if you're not careful you could end up spending the whole day there.
You cannot possibly go wrong with ramen at Yusho in Logan Square. Service is pleasant and the space has a nice ambience, with good tunes typically playing overhead, too.

Design for London (DfL) will continue with a 'core team' of seven, within the housing regeneration arm of the Greater London Authority (GLA), the AJ can reveal
The saved jobs, believed to be senior designers and head Mark Brearley, are among the 45 'specialist'staff rescued from redundancy by DfL's parent organisation, the London Development Agency (LDA) in late January.
These 45 positions are 'over and above' the 105 staff originally preserved by the LDA to oversee the agency's official closure after March.
DfL's future was thrown into doubt last June (AJ 17.06.10) when the government decided to close down all the regional development agencies, including the LDA.
Brearley said: 'This is good news for Design for London. With a core team of seven confirmed for the next financial year we can continue our work for the Mayor and London, helping to shape a better city. We will roll forward with our usual enthusiasm.'
It is understood that several DfL capital spending projects, including High Street 2012 and work on the Royal Docks, will continue following the staffing announcement.
However, with the rescued LDA staff's £56 million annual cost still yet to be approved by the treasury, any security for the roles – which include development, property and environmental specialists – remains short term.
A GLA spokesperson said: 'We are still awaiting our final settlement before a decision can be taken on the final folding of the LDA.'
LDA deputy chief executive and group director of design, development and environment, Peter Bishop was unavailable for comment.
Open letter to the Mayor of London in support of Design for London, 22.03.11
To the people of London, to the Mayor.
The attractive among the world cities are so to a wide audience. They are attractive because they have a lot to offer to residents and visitors alike. Large cities excel at being economically powerful, they are hot-spots of social activity, they absorb and transform cultural energy, and they exhibit the world's best buildings and spaces. In short, they are the stage for what has turned out to be one of the biggest attractions to people in our age: the urban environment.
How good that stage is depends on the quality of its spaces and buildings, on the quality of the way these are arranged and on the diversity of the arrangements. Enter design guidance on an urban scale - enter Design for London. Working with London's impressive development community, Design for London was set up to help nurture urban qualities, to seek ways to improve the existing townscape and to find ways to connect – to mutual benefit – the new and the old. It does so not by designing, but by making sure that design briefs and the people involved in their execution match, by facilitating their collaboration and by making sure that money is spent where it matters to the people of London. Its budget compares to that of the city as the price of the oil that lubricates an engine and keeps it running smoothly.
News has circulated the world (yes, the world) that Design for London is under threat. As architects from many countries, we want to encourage the Mayor to secure the survival of this remarkable team. We hope that he is aware of how widely admired the efforts are of this small group of talented designers. London should consider itself lucky to have a skilled, knowledgeable and creative organisation supporting efforts to make it a better city.
It would be a tragedy if Design for London were allowed to wither away.

O loving and merciful God, with Your help I begin this new week. I do not know what will happen to me in the course of it. Much evil and misfortune can happen in a single day—how much more in a whole week! And so I come to You at the very beginning of the week and commend myself wholly to You. O my God, grant me Your Holy Spirit so that He may sanctify, lead, and govern me, bearing witness with my spirit that I am Your child. Bless me this week. Bless my going out and my coming in. Bless the labor of my calling and occupation. Bless every step I take. I lift my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. O Lord, if You lead me, I shall not stray. If You keep me, I shall not fall. Let Your faithfulness and mercy guard me in all my ways. Bless all that I have, and let Your blessing prosper me.
O my God and faithful Father, protect and keep me from all harm, danger, and misfortune. Let me remain under Your gracious protection day and night. Guard my house on every side like the house of Job. Let the holy angels camp around me and my possessions, and I will dwell securely. Hear my prayer when I cry to You, and let me not leave the throne of grace without being heard. Keep me from grievous sins. Show me Your ways, O Lord; lead me in Your truth. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Grant that this week I may become more pious and godly, that I may increase in my knowledge and love of You. As I am leaving behind one week and entering another, grant that I may grow inwardly. Let me add to my faith, virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, patience; and to patience, godliness. If the last week of my life has now arrived, grant me assurance of Your grace. If this week should become a week of crosses to me, strengthen me by Your Holy Spirit, that with Your mighty aid I may be able to endure and overcome them all. Be my helper in every need, and deliver me from every trouble. I commend myself, my body and soul, and all that I have, together with all pious Christians, to Your gracious and fatherly protection.
Direct, control, suggest this day All I design or do or say That all my pow'rs with all their might In Thy sole glory may unite. Amen. LSB 868:5
Forth in Thy name, O Lord, I go,
My daily labor to pursue,
Thee, only Thee, resolved to know
In all I think or speak or do.
The task Thy wisdom has assigned,
O let me cheerfully fulfill;
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect will.
Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes my inmost substance see,
And labor on at Thy command,
And offer all my works to Thee.
Give me to bear Thine easy yoke,
And ev'ry moment watch and pray,
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious day.
For Thee delightfully employ
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace has giv'n,
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heav'n. LSB 854:1–5

...things bound to go away someday...I was planning to make this post today, but just didn't have the time. Talked to my dad yesterday. My grandfather has died. My dad said he died around Sunday. That most probably explained why I felt somewhat "lost" during the weekend. Yesterday I was thinking of my mom so much, wondering if she's okay. The good news is: she's back. I received an sms from her just now. I miss her so. She's okay, a bit of sore-throat because the weather had been hot there. She must have gone through a lot with all the burial custom and such. I feel sorry that I wasn't there. 4 grandparents and I only attended one funeral. The grandfather from my father side died before I was born (I guess). I only know him from picture. In the picture he looks so skinny, he must have worked a lot. A lot of lines in his face, maybe he was a very strict man. The grandmother from my dad side died when I was so young. She died in Jakarta and I think...I wrote I think because I was so young, so this is what I think happened. I think the family rent a plane to take all of us and the corpse to her home island. *sigH* I can feel somewhat sad thinking about this, because this was one of my earliest memories. I can't really tell you what I remembered but I did write it once in my diary. Again, I was so young so I don't really know if what I remember is correct. The grandmother from my mom side died on Sunday. I remembered that so well because on Monday, it was my first day in high school. It was one of the toughest week in my life. So much changes. I was actually the one who broke the news to my mother because my grandfather's sister (I think she was my grandfather's sister) told me to call my mom at work. I dreaded doing it. I remember that my grandma actually call me "Ika" instead of "Eka". I should have spent more time with her, but I was young and ignorant. When she died I guess I have not seen her for years and years. My grandfather from my mother side died recently. The last thing I did with him was in 2002. My mom was supposed to take him back to his home island. I was going back home 1 day before she supposed to leave and I asked my mom if I could come along and she just booked the ticket for me. You know there's so much that I miss out being in Singapore. Sometime I wonder if it's worth it. *sigH* Anyway, I'm happy that my mom had the chance to spend some last moment with his dad. She didn't get that chance with her mother. I wonder if I'll ever be as strong as my mom. So glad that she's back....

There's nothing better than getting into Fresh Pants or a Little Black Dress after hiking the gorgeous cliffs and valleys of the Obed region on the Cumberland plateau. In fact, at least half of the rock climbers, kayakers, hikers and campers winding down from a day in the great outdoors at Lillypad Hopyard and Brewery enjoyed more than one of these .
Little Black Dress, Del Scruggs' signature porter, and Fresh Pants, an APA made with hops grown onsite, are two of several beers on tap in the front-yard brewery that is a gathering spot for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. Del and his wife Marte, along with Monster, their one-dog welcoming committee, have met climbers from 140 countries.
"It's amazing that people from everywhere from Ottawa to Poland have drunk my beer," Del says.
It's no surprise to learn that he's bonded over beer with all of those visitors, as the brewery and campground sit on the property where Del and Marte live. Adjacent to their property is the Obed Wild and Scenic River, part of the National Park System. Climbers can make the short drive to a trailhead leading to Lilly Bluff, where routes such as Heresy and Spawn will challenge and thrill experienced climbers.
While enjoying the mellow, welcoming vibe around the fire pit at Lillypad, I learned that regardless of where these adventurers call home, they share a common love of community, craft beer and a deep respect for nature. The rivers, trails and bluffs, along with the native plant and animal life are of utmost concern for those who want to preserve and protect the natural resources they so enjoy.
Back in the comforts of civilization, Cameron Mitchell, Tennessee Wildlife Federation's East Tennessee Field Manager, joined me for a pint to talk about conservation, giving back and shared his favorite recipe for pairing with a cold beer in the winter.
Community Through Conservation
"We really want all generations in the state to respect and appreciate what they have here in Tennessee. It's one of the most ecologically diverse states in the country," says Mitchell.
It is this cause that brings together outdoorsmen from all walks of life. From the hunters and fishers of rural west Tennessee to the mountain bikers of middle Tennessee and the whitewater rafters of east Tennessee, the land has been entrusted to all of us to protect.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Tennessee Wildlife Federation is known for its science-based conservancy work with dedicated efforts in three areas: stewardship, youth engagement and public policy. They work with everyone from individual supporters to businesses and organizations to legislators to conserve the natural resources of the state.
The public policy piece of the Federation's work has proven beneficial to wildlife, habitats and people across the state. In 2010, after seeing efforts in other states to eliminate entire hunting seasons, they fought to preserve the right to hunt in Tennessee, eventually amending the state constitution in confirmation of that right, no easy feat.
Along with their avid guardianship of the laws and policies regarding our state's great outdoors, Tennessee Wildlife Federation staff and volunteers encourage responsibility among the state's residents to care for and conserve these resources. Following the North American Model, most notably endorsed and advanced in the early 1900s by Teddy Roosevelt, the Federation believes that our natural resources should be held in public trust. This means that because we (the public) own them, we must take care of them.
Anyone who enjoys outdoor activity has an obligation to maintain it. From packing your trash out on an overnight hike to obtaining proper hunting and fishing licenses and abiding by game limits, every person who enjoys the outdoors has an opportunity to maintain it.
Tennessee Wildlife Federation places a strong emphasis on stewarding youth into a conservation mindset as well. Through family events and programs, children and their parents have opportunities to learn about and participate in the Federation's efforts. In fact, passing an understanding of and respect for our natural resources to the next generation is paramount to the cause.
Hunters For The Hungry
As charitable giving goes, none is more fulfilling than using your talents and renewable resources to provide for others in need. The Federation saw the opportunity 20 years ago to allow hunters to donate venison to local food banks.
The premise is simple, but the impact is huge: when a hunter harvests a deer, he or she delivers it to a processor who has been inspected and approved, the meat is processed, then delivered to a partner ministry, pantry or food bank and it is then distributed to those in need.
Since its inception in 1998, Hunters for the Hungry has received donations of over 1.5 million pounds of venison, providing around six million meals to the hungry. Cameron Mitchell's background as a chef and lifelong love of hunting has been the perfect combination to help further the reach of this program to both hunters and those who simply want to help.
In the spirit of stewardship and inclusion younger generations, the Federation created a way for high school students, even those who are not hunters, to get involved.
Through the Hunger Challenge, high school students form teams and compete to raise funds to support Hunters for the Hungry. Even private schools in suburban areas participate, where students might not have longstanding family traditions in hunting.
Participants gain skills in leadership, club-building, humanitarianism and philanthropy. The teams compete at both regional and state levels for awards. Along with these benefits, students become more aware of the Federation's broader goals of conservation and science-based approach.
Nature lovers and outdoorsmen of all interests can agree that conservation is a cause everyone can connect with. Even those burly hikers who love slipping into a Little Black Dress.

Venison Stew
Mitchell brings his love of cooking and well-stocked freezer together for a hearty winter stew just begging to be paired with a crisp cold brew.

The deep burgundy color and bready malt aroma with hints of zesty orange make this light bodied beer perfect for pairing with a rich, flavorful stew. The Special's clean, dry finish complements the decadent vegetable sauce.
5 lbs 2"cubed/cleaned deer meat
All Purpose Flour
2 large yellow onions, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
3 T minced garlic
14 oz lima beans
14 oz corn kernels (or cut from 5 ears)
14 oz dark kidney beans
2 T beef base ("Better than Bouillon")
1 qt. seasoned tomato sauce
14 oz diced tomato
4 oz Cabernet
olive oil
dry thyme
dry marjoram
Heat cast iron pot over medium heat and add olive oil, garlic, yellow onion and celery. Stir while cooking for 4-6 minutes.
In separate bowl, toss deer meat with flour. Mix until meat is evenly coated. Add more olive oil to stock pot if needed. Add deer meat to pot and stir constantly but gently. Once flour begins to cook and lightly brown, add 1 quart of your favorite tomato sauce, add red wine and 1 quart of water and dry herbs and stir all.
Turn heat down to medium, so that the stew "rolls," but not a boil. Cover and cook for one hour. Add lima beans, kidney beans, corn and diced tomato. Continue to cook until meat is tender to touch. Remove the lid and allow to cook 20+ minutes or reduce to preferred consistency.
Serve over white short grain rice or oven baked potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Yield 10-12 16 oz servings.

Leadership expert, John Maxwell teaches "leadership is influence—nothing more, nothing less." The truth is you are a leader because you have spheres in your life that you can influence. Jesus' life reveals that your personal ministry impacts these three spheres of influence:
1. Your Family.
In my twenty years of ministry, I've seen leaders and personal ministries thrive when they see their family as their first ministry. I've witnessed the opposite as well. If I do not minister to my family first before I minister to others, I should not be in full-time ministry. Jesus' first miracle in His personal ministry was for his mom: "On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, 'They have no wine.'…This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him." (John 2:1-3, 11 NASB). Bible scholars are astounded because Jesus first foreshadowed His blood shedding for humankind at a party! But, I think it's even more astounding from a Christian's perspective in America, where we tend to try to "do more" rather than love our family well, that Jesus did His first miracle for his mom! If you want to live out an impacting personal ministry, start with your family.
2. Your Friends.
Friendship is a dying art form. Culture has changed the true meaning of the word "friend." I love everyone, but I cannot be a true friend to what Facebook has labeled my 2,129 "friends." After Jesus commands us to love, He defines what love is with the concept of friendship: "This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you." (John 15:12-15 NASB). Jesus called His disciples "friends." Knowing what He would do for them on the cross, He defines friendship as laying down His life for His friends. Then Jesus let the disciples know they're His friends. Then, He affirmed their friendship by confirming that He had shared everything with them. Who are truly your friends in your sphere of influence? How have you showed them they're your friends? How have you shared your life with this sphere of your influence?
3. Your Co-workers.
Interestingly, Jesus revealed His presence, Himself, to the disciples as they were working catching fish: "But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. So Jesus said to them, 'Children, you do not have any fish, do you?' They answered Him, 'No.' And He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.' So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish." Then, "Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead." (John 21:4-6, 13-14 NASB). Jesus saw a place of work as a sphere of His influence to reveal Himself. How are you befriending your co-workers, revealing to them the presence and love of Jesus?
How have you been doing this? What ideas do you have now to enact in your everyday influence to mobilize your personal ministry? Comment below. Let's continue the conversation. Also, be looking forward to the release of our ministry film, Spheres of Influence, to visualize how impacting your personal ministry can be.
This thriving ministry, along with this new ministry film, are only made possible through people like you who donate or become a monthly giver to Mobilize Ministries™. All giving to this ministry is tax deductible:

Rick is simply the best! We decided to sell our home and first went with an agent that was known to our family for sometime. We got very disappointed because she was not fighting for us, she took long to communicate and when she did, she would give half baked information. She was always coming up with excuses for the house not selling for example; there are way too many homes on the market, your house lacks this/lacks that and so on. This was very troubling because the market was a sellers market, homes similar to ours were being sold off in seven days. This went on for over a month and we decided to get a more experienced and proven realtor and there came Rick. He visited our property and the first thing he said was this home is going to be an easy and fast sale. He arranged the first open house over the weekend and the following Tuesday we had an offer and the same folks bought our home. He did the opposite of what our first agent was doing, he was very aggressive and not passive, he did not just sit and wait for clients to call, his office has buyer and seller agents who do round the clock marketing of your home. They were always calling me to set up appointments for people to come and view the home which is a very good because some sloppy agents relay on just open houses. I highly recommend Rick and his team and next time we are shopping, we will definitely use their services again.
-Afande J
Rick did a wonderful job for us! The day after we signed on with him, he created an amazing webpage of our home, and some lovely brochures, as well. We had an overwhelming showing from the start, due to Rick's guidance. He helped us through it all, patiently answering all of our questions, and we ended up getting more for our home than it was listed for! We are so grateful to Rick Fuller and his staff!
Mike & Nicole in Antioch, CA
I've worked with Victoria Malik and she is one of the most professional broker I've had to deal with. Her performance is outstanding and she has the best interest for her clients. If you're looking for an agent to work with in the area, make sure you contact her first.

My wife and I wanted to move out of Oakland to the Tracy, Manteca area. We chose Alfonzo to be our realtor. We still work in the Bay area so we were very specific with an area close to freeway, 3+ Bedroom and 2+ bathrooms. My wife even more specific on style and design and how she wanted it laid out. I',m a realest so I didn't think it was possible but Alfonzo did not disappoint ,he fond a lot of properties and was very patient with us through the process, at times it seems like he was more determined then us because it can get discouraging , which was awesome to keep us motivated. Then he pulled a jewel out of no where , very spacious close to the freeway ,it met all of my wife's criteria's (surprisingly). The best part it was in my price range and less then I thought it would be. Not only do I recommend Alfonzo, I've recommended him already. Great agent, but a Better person
Alfonso E.
Rick is a pleasure to work with. Very professional with great marketing skills. He gave us a thorough explanation of what to expect when we listed our home and our house sold within two weeks of listing it. Very happy with Rick and his staff and highly recommend his company for any of your real estate needs!
Debbie, L
Rick was exceedingly professional and straightforward in his approach. He knows many excellent vendors in the area and handles everything that needs to be done quickly and efficiently.
Lisa S., Lafayette
My husband and I are first time home buyers. Rick Fuller and his team were there every step of the way to make our dream come true. We would give them more than five stars if we could. Our real estate agent Shelby was very dedicated, professional, patient, and informative. She made things very easy for us and she was always honest, and straightforward with us. We also worked with their in-house lender Christine who also was very professional and dedicated. She helped us make sense of the complicated financial process. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to purchase not only our first house, but also the house we were hoping for. It was a pleasure working with them. We would greatly recommend Rick Fuller and his team to anyone in the market, purchasing or selling a home.
Eda O.
When it came time for me to sell my home, I was unsure and really nervous but Alfonzo Edwards helped me through the process. He is very professional/knowledgeable and answered all of my questions/concerns. Open houses were a breeze and he always made himself available. I didn't have a long drawn out process of back and forth negotiations. Which I was thankful for. House sold quick! His work ethic is awesome so I was excited to use him to buy my current home. Thanks!

Ryu here with the last chapter in the New Akatsuki title. No it is not the end of my story. Read the end. It explains my reasons. So the final chapter, The End
Zetsu leaves to report back to Madara and the Cloud ninjas have been brief on the situation that just occurred. Killer Bee was sent later that day to the mysterious Island. Because the original plans the Raikage had in mind had be scratched do to Naruto being "unavailable" at the time, The Raikage had to send more of his own men to be Bee's bodyguards. Do to his sensory abilities Shi was picked to be one of the guards but not without protest for he wants to be on the battlefield. Kasumi and Omoi asked to go with Bee to the island. It had been a long time since they went and wanted to protect their sensei with their lives. Raikage agreed and the 4 of them along with the man named Motoi were off across the sea to their destination. Still unbeknownst to them, Kisame Hoshigaki was right there with them.
The Konoha and Suna allies stayed to see Bee off. Once that was done, the Raikage told the young Kages he would hold a meeting in a week back in Kumo to discuss the alliance. Once finished and everyone bid each group farewell, Konoha was on their way back to the village.
Along the way Kakashi received a message from a messager pigeon of some great and terrible news. Tsunade had recovered and was briefed on the situation. She took over the duties of Hokage again while Kakashi was gone. Happy of these detail but knows with him still being appointed the sixth Hokage, Kakashi was not out of the woods yet. The terrible news, Anko and her search team were found with her the only survivor. Upon reading this info Kakashi knew that the mission to track and taking down Kabuto Yakushi was unsuccessful. He had to know if Kabuto gave any info about his plans. From his run in with him in the past, Kakashi knows a hit of his plans would be in Kabuto's message. He just can resist doing this. So his group sped up to return to village and prepare for the up and coming Fourth Ninja War and the possibility of this new threat.
Orochimaru's hideout
Once Madara was done with implanting Itachi's eyes into Sasuke, Zetsu returned with the news of the battle between the Cloud brothers and Kisame's infiltration. Zetsu figured Madara would be upset that the eight tailed beast was gone but Madara emotions were the complete opposite. He was glad that his plan was going ahead of schedule. He had figured that because this Island was the only place Madara had not been within Kumo over the years because the location was a secret only a select few knew, he had to know its location. He knew from the past that during the wars, to keep their Jinchuuriki safe Kumo would send the host to this island. So he came up with a plan and explained it to Zetsu. He's plan was for Kisame to infiltrate the Island via Samehada and once the location is known send a message back and proceed to capture Hachibi. With little info on this Island, something powerful could be on this island that could help or hurt his chances to win this war.
The next day.
Madara called a meet minus Sasuke. He wanted to let everyone know that everything was going according to plan which gave Naruto some strange and uneasy feeling that his own plans had just been put in major jeopardy.
Because Sasuke seems to trust Naruto, Madara allowed Naruto space to do what he must do to prepare for the up and coming battles, however Madara still had mixed feelings because of Naruto obsession to bring Sasuke back in the past but if Naruto was there then maybe he was wrong about the Nine Tailed Jinchuuriki. However Madara could tell Sakura had strong emotional ties the Konoha and may try to kill Sasuke but he needs her medical hands to increase Sasuke's recovery time. She was "asked" to heal Sasuke's "wounded" eyes. She was not to remove the bandages and during her time with Sasuke, Jugo was to be by her side at all times. Once that was done Madara and Zetsu disappeared to "tend to some important battle arrangements". Once alone again, Naruto quickly sent word though his toads to Lord Fukasaku and for him to send word to Kakashi of the situation
Mount Myouboku
After a discussion about giving Naruto the "key" to the Kyubi's full powers, the Great Elder Toad order for Naruto to be sent to Mount Myouboku to reread his future and ask him if he was up to the task. While Naruto was sleep in his room Fukasaku reverse summoned Naruto in front of the Great Elder. It was here that Naruto was given the choice to take the key or go on and finish his duties before taking on this tasks and responsibilities of the key. Naruto knew that if the key was with him and if he was taken by Madara he could put the entire world endanger but remembering his father and both his teachers and sensei's words of encouragement and belief in him. Naruto knew the time would come when he must try to control the fox and that time would come very soon. So he decided to take the responsibility. Soon after Gerotora entered Naruto, he asked to be returned to his room in the hideout a.s.a.p. If he was missing for too long the other members would get suspicious. He was sent back where he lay back in the bed, and began to think of how he would get to Sasuke with Madara constantly around.
Back in the hideout
Sakura everyday for four days would enter Sasuke's room with Jugo in tow. She would get Sasuke to lie down and begin to heal the swollen nerve endings and muscle tissue. She wanted so bad to tell Sasuke how she and Naruto really felt but knew Sasuke was far to gone to understand their hearts. Many of times she would begin to cry and tear drops would fall on Sasuke's cheek. At first he would get annoyed but for some reason he begin to feel something deep inside himself. Were these his true friends' tears? But then Itachi face would bounce back into his mind and his anger would swell again.
On the fourth day Madara returned to assess the healing process. He knew Sasuke was ready but had to finish his preparations first. So he asked Sasuke to wait for him to finish his side as to keep other hidden villages out the way of help Konoha when they attack.
For those same four days Naruto continued to train himself to staying in Sage Mode longer. When word came down to Naruto that Sasuke was healed and Madara would leave again soon. He felt it was time for him and Sasuke to have a one on one talk.
A week has passed.
The meeting of the Kage and other Alliance members had come into session. Tsunade and Kakashi both represented Konoha. It was here that with Killer Bee on the Island that would give the Alliance a lot more time to deal with this Moon Eye plan of Madara's. Even though every Kage let Naruto deal with Sasuke, once Kakashi told them the truth about where Naruto really was, the Raikage nearly had a heart attack and really wanted to strangle Kakashi but Tsunade stepped in and let them know Naruto would not let Madara take him without a fight and by that time that happened the war would be over. Though anger the Raikage did promise and will live by his word not to interfere unless Konoha can't deal with the situation.
Fukasaku appeared suddenly with word from Naruto of the situation going on at the hideout with the Akatsuki. This gave the Alliance a better description of how to handle this war. Also Kakashi warned of the possibility that Kabuto would appear and with his newly augmented powers he could be an even more dangerous foe then Orochimaru himself was. Finally once the meeting was finished the Kages left back to their respective villages to finish preparing for the war and unless some movement from the Akatsuki was spotted then they would meet again with their forces in another weeks to head after Madara.
Orochimaru's hideout
Days after Madara asked Sasuke to wait; he searched for the remains of Nagato without confronting Konan. However once he, nor Zetsu could not find the place themselves Madara face Konan to force her into telling him of the whereabouts of Nagato. Madara defeated Konan and was close to finishing his preparations after he had obtained the Rinnengan from Konan (Chapter 509 ) and implanted one in left eye. It was time to ready his army of White Zetsus.
Once he was ready for war he would march on but he decided to let Sasuke and Naruto have their revenge first. This would get Konoha out of the way for a much more effective advantage in the war. During this time, Naruto decided to make his move to try and somehow talk Sasuke out of this foolishness. Sasuke himself healed but waiting on word from Madara that he was ready to move, was outside the hideout over looking the view of the sunset over the sea next to the hideout. With a Akatsuki robe's hood over his head, hiding his new Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke closes his eyes and dreams until he hears footsteps coming from behind him.
Yes I know this is not my best work but as it says at the top this is the end of this part of my story. I had to end it this way or you all would be looking at 5 or 6 more boring chapters with no battles. I am also ending this title and going with a new title more appropriate to the way this story is heading. Also in this new part of the story we will see way more battles and the fated fight between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
End of the New Akatsuki (New Atasuki)

Southwest Calgary Boiler Service & Repair
Highmark Plumbing has your Southwest Calgary boiler service & repair. Our skilled plumbers understand how boilers work, including those vintage boilers that were put in around the 1950s or earlier. Boilers are old technology by modern standards. They were first used extensively in the early 1800s as part of the industrial revolution. Those early boilers were scarcely more than a cylinder filled with water that was heated by flowing hot gases over the surface of the liquid. Fortunately, modern boilers have come a long way since those early models.
Although boilers are older technology, they are making a comeback because of their efficiency and sustainability. Boilers create hot water that can be used as part of a radiant heating system simply to supply household hot water or hot water for a large building, or even to turn a turbine to create electricity. In fact, nuclear power plants utilize boiler technology to turn the turbines that create electricity. Boilers used to be huge ungainly things that lived in a basement, but modern boilers are much more compact and can be situated in a small space in your basement or even installed in a closet on the same level as your living space. Your modern boiler comes with pressure gauges, safety valves, and thermostatically controlled heaters. This is a huge advance over the original models and meets many of today's standards for sustainability.
Highmark Plumbing has your Southwest Calgary boiler service & repair, just give us a call at(403)407-5750 and we will be glad to discuss your boiler service needs. We can install new boilers and boiler systems or we can service existing systems. Even been new boilers, and some hot water heaters need periodic maintenance, in order to function at their best.

Italian Bread
Italian cuisine is, quite simply, a love affair with freshly-baked bread, carefully prepared and combined with other basic ingredients. Olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, white meats, herbs, pasta and bread come together to form the most tantalizing dishes of Italian origin.
Italian cuisine forms the basis of the Mediterranean Cuisine, which is sometimes referred to as the Mediterranean Diet. Often dismissed as a passing trend, it is an integral part of life in Italy. Olive oil is essential to all forms of Italian cuisine. It is present in every meal either as a condiment that one can add to their food or as an ingredient in most dishes. Bread dipping, where freshly-baked bread is dipped in extra virgin olive oil, is also very popular.
Bread is an absolutely essential part of the Italian diet. There is hardly a meal where bread is not present and, though it may seem to be a very basic ingredient, Italian cuisine would not be Italian without it. Bread finds a large number of uses in Italian cooking. Bread dipping with olive oil or fresh herbs and spices, toasted bread and garlic, as part of stuffing – these are just a few of those uses.
Some very popular types of Italian bread are the French Loaf and the Panelle bread. The French Loaf is basically a long baguette sprinkled with sesame seeds. Found in Sicily, Panelle bread is baked in ovens made of brick, giving it a delicious 'authentic' taste. Round in shape, it has a hard crust and soft interior, making it an excellent choice for bread dipping dishes with olive oil or various soups.
High quality bread, freshly baked and warm from the oven, dipped in extra virgin olive oil and spices is excellent as a snack or served before the main course of a meal. So-called 'Italian Bread' from local stores is usually soft and white, and should be avoided. It is lacking in taste and cannot compare with freshly baked bread from a bakery. Bakeries often have many types of 'Old Country' breads, including Baguette, Ciabata, French, Panelle, and Tuscan breads. Which bread you choose is, of course, a matter of which type you like best.
