[露中 R18] Sticky
Series: APH Hetalia | Pairing: Ivan x Yao (Russia x China, 露中) | Genre: Lemon, Humour, Romance | Rating: R-18
Synopsis: It's Dumpling Festival and Yao is making rice dumplhttp://blog132.fc2.com/admin/images/icons/wysiwyg.gifings for dinner with Ivan and his siblings. Ivan drops by a little too early and decides that he wants more than dumplings. First published on 14 June 2010 to commemorate Dumpling Festival.

Wang Yao was extremely busy today. It was Dumpling Festival and he had been up and about all morning and afternoon, buying and preparing ingredients and making dumplings. He was expecting important guests to join him for a dinner of dumplings today - Wang Xiang and Wang Wan, his siblings who also celebrated Dumpling Festival, and his Russian neighbour Ivan Braginski, who, despite not celebrating Dumpling Festival, used every Chinese festival as an excuse to visit Yao. Yao did not mind of course, even if he enjoyed pretending otherwise. As usual, he would prepare some special dumplings for Ivan. They would contain the usual traditional ingredients, but he had also bought Ivan's favourite Vodka to add to his share of dumplings.
The doorbell rang, just as Yao was in the midst of wrapping blobs of glutinous rice into triangular dumplings.
"Aiya! Ivan, you're too early aru! The dumplings are not even finished yet," Yao scolded as he opened the door to let Ivan in.
"I missed you, my little sunflower~ I wanted to see you as soon as possible," Ivan enveloped Yao in a hug. Yao swerved his head and Ivan's lips missed its target and landed on Yao's cheek.
"Aww~!" Ivan sulked.
"Later, Ivan," Yao untangled himself from Ivan's embrace. "I'm up to my ears with the dumplings aru."
"Are you making dumplings now? I can help da?" Ivan bounded after him into the warm kitchen.
"All right aru. You should help since you always eat the most," Yao smiled.
How Yao wished he had never let Ivan into the kitchen! After a quick ten minute shower, he re-entered the kitchen, only to be greeted by the appalling sight of a plate of slightly deformed-looking heart-shaped blobs of glutinous rice in front of its chef. Even as Yao was seething, Ivan was still happily shaping another blob of glutinous rice while whistling a Russian folk song.
"Ivan! What on earth are you doing aru? Didn't I tell you to just wrap them up in the leaves and shape them like the ones I've already made?" Yao cried.
"But Yao~ Hearts are prettier and more romantic! Don't you think so?" Ivan pouted as Yao snatched away the dumpling he was shaping to undo his misdeed.
"Aiya! Dumpling festival isn't supposed to be romantic aru!" Yao scolded. "It's a festival to remember the sacrifice of Qu Yuan, a patriotic scholar, minister and poet from my country. He jumped into the Mi Luo river out of grief towards the corruption of the sovereign in his era."
Ivan watched in silence as Yao reshaped one deformed glob after another into triangular tents with his deft fingers.
"Yao, why do the dumplings have to be in this shape?"
Yao paused and looked up thoughtfully. The tradition of making and eating dumplings had begun from the time Qu Yuan's countrymen made and threw dumplings into the Mi Luo river to feed Qu Yuan's soul. The dumplings were wrapped in bamboo leaves to prevent the fish from eating the rice. However, come to think of it, he wasn't sure why they were shaped like triangular tents.
To hide the fact that he was not completely knowledgeable about his own festival, he avoided the topic, "Why do you ask?"
"Well, because these dumplings remind me of something."
"What aru?"
"They remind me of tents..."
"That's what they're supposed to look like aru."
"...The kinds I get in my pants whenever I think about making love to you."
A dumpling fell back into the plate with a plop sound as Yao's hands froze in midair. Ivan looked on in amusement as Yao's face turned from pale white to sickly green to raging red.
"Aiyaaaa! Ivan Braginski! How dare you! This is sacrilege aru!" Yao lashed out at any spot he could reach on the Russian's large body.
"Ewwww! Yao~ your hands are sticky!" Ivan complained laughingly as Yao smacked him on the face.
"Serves you right for always thinking about such filthy stuff aru!" Yao snapped. "And now I'll have to wash off all this glutinous rice from my hands after touching you with them. You're such a nuisance!"
"Yao, let's not waste food."
Ivan grabbed Yao's wrist and brought his hand to his mouth. Locking his fiery violet eyes against Yao's confused amber ones, he slid his tongue slowly from Yao's wrist, upwards across his palm and to the tip of his third finger. One by one, he swirled his tongue around each finger, licking, kissing and sucking tenderly, yet possessively.
"I... Ivan..."
"Stop it aru!" Yao said weakly as he tugged his hand away. The feel of Ivan's smooth, wet tongue against his skin gave him goosebumps that spelled trouble.
Ivan maintained a firm grip on Yao's slim wrist.
"But I'm hungry, Yao," Ivan's face closed in dangerously on Yao.
"You can have a dumpling first! I just need to wrap it in bamboo leaves and steam it. It will be ready in no time." Yao said in a high-pitched voice as he backed away hastily. Ivan made no signs of wanting to let Yao get him his early dinner.
"But I need to eat now," Ivan advanced forward, once more closing up the distance between himself and Yao. Ivan gazed so intensely at Yao that Yao thought he could see blue flames dancing in the purple eyes.
"I'll scoop you some glutinous rice then!" Yao squeaked. He backed further away, and felt his bum hit something hard. He turned his head to look at the object of hindrance. The kitchen counter sealed his sole path of escape.
"But I don't want glutinous rice, Yao, I want you," Ivan leaned forward and whispered breathily into Yao's ear. They were in such close proximity that Yao could feel Ivan's tent pressing against his own. His own tent.
"Ah ha~ you really want me too da?" He placed his hands on the kitchen counter, trapping Yao between them and forcing Yao to lean back further.
"No! Ivan! It's broad daylight and this is hardly the right place! Can't we wait until tonight..."
Yao let out a yelp as Ivan pushed him down onto the counter.
"I told you, I need to eat now."
Ivan smothered Yao's protests with his lips.
This would teach Yao to reject his kiss. Kolkolkolkol~!
Chapter 2: Ivan's Early Dinner
Warning: This chapter contains explicit descriptions of male-on-male lemon.
Yao did not want it, although his body was gradually urging him otherwise. Intimacy was for the bedroom, under the camouflage of the dark night. Right now, it was late afternoon. They were in the kitchen, a place for cooking, not carnal activity for heaven's sake. Xiang and Wan would be coming over in a couple of hours and there were tents... no, dumplings to be wrapped and steamed.
Ivan's soft but aggressive lips kissed him breathless. By the time they left his own, Yao was gasping for breath. But all hopes of regaining normal air flow vanquished when Ivan clamped a large palm over his mouth and nostrils hard. Not hard enough to suffocate him, but enough to restrict his breathing, and consequently, his movements.
Yao despaired to find his strength and will power to struggle ebb away, replaced by a dull ringing in his ears and blurring vision. He kicked his feet, the only parts of his body that were free to move now, but they felt as reluctant as though he was wading through swamp. Instead he only succeeded in causing a throbbing pain in the small of his back, which was pressed against the edge of the kitchen counter.
"Don't struggle so, my little sunflower~ You're wasting precious energy for more fun things," Ivan slipped a large hand inside Yao's pants, "that we can do in a moment."
"Stop!" Yao tried to shout through Ivan's fingers, but it only came out like a frightened squeak.
"I like how easy your pants are to remove. No buttons or string, just an elastic hem. Very practical da~"
The pants in question slipped down to Yao's ankles in a split moment. Yao felt terribly exposed as his boxers followed soon after.
"But these buttons on your shirt have got to be the most redundant invention ever," Ivan fumbled with the small, intricate frog buttons with one clumsy hand, while the other hand remained firmly clapped over his lover's mouth.
"Well, how about it? Would you like to remove your own shirt, or do I have to ruin yet another nice shirt of yours?" Ivan tugged hard at the mandarin collar, threatening to rip it apart.
Yao glared at Ivan through tears of indignation and discomfort from the lack of oxygen. The shame of submission was hard to swallow, but if the Russian was going to get away with what he wanted, as he always did, there was no reason to do so at the expense of another pricey silk brocade shirt. Shamefacedly, he drew two limp hands up to his collar and undid the buttons.
"Good boy," Ivan cooed as the last button unclasped, revealing a smooth ivory chest. He lifted his iron grip off Yao abruptly. The sudden influx of oxygen made Yao's head spin momentarily. While Yao fought to normalize his breathing, Ivan removed his own clothes. He pressed his muscular torso against Yao, who trembled at the feel of soft chest hair against his naked skin, and trailed moist kisses down his nape and shoulders, where he paused to leave fresh marks of passion over faint pink scars from a previous encounter. One free hand supported Yao's waist, cushioning him from the hard kitchen counter while another hand snaked down to his erection. Yao shivered with each stroke of Ivan's masterful fingers, knowing that he could stay indifferent no longer. Ivan understood his body far too well.
"Don't," Yao whimpered. A soft moan of pleasure barely escaped his lips.
Ivan left behind an especially red mark that caused him to gasp in pain, and proceeded to suck and lick his nipples. Yao shuddered and sobbed, fully aware that he had lost yet again to his body's wanton desires. Without a stitch on, it was far too easy to see what he truly wanted in spite of his pained expression. Yao stifled yet another moan, but he was helpless about the warm milky liquid that flowed from his erection over Ivan's hand.
"Just nice for the lube," Ivan rubbed the sticky liquid between his fingers. He snuck two fingers inside Yao's buttocks and moved them in and out. He was pleased to fill the warm muscles close in on his fingers invitingly, to hear Yao become increasingly vocal about his desires. It made Ivan even more conscious of his own needs.
Ivan drew out his fingers, now moist from his lover's juices. He grabbed Yao around the waist and lifted him up onto the counter so he could now lie in a more comfortable position.
"Your turn to pleasure me now," Ivan licked his lips as he leaned over Yao.
As Ivan breathed heavily and pressed his desire against Yao's groin, Yao's heart raced faster from hearing and feeling Ivan's yearning at such close proximity. This was by no means the first time they had made love, but the kitchen was such a bizarre choice of location! Chopping vegetables on the kitchen counter would never be the same again…
Then thought was forgotten as his legs were pushed back towards his shoulders and Ivan was positioning himself at his entrance. Yao gasped as Ivan's magnificent appendage slid inside his intimate passage, impaling him fully. As Ivan settled over him so that his face was directly above his, Yao's legs were released so that he could wrap them around the larger body.
Yao moaned irresistibly as he felt the hard flesh within him vibrate against his prostrate. In response, Ivan's body writhed pleasurably over him, rubbing against his sensitised nipples and slowly hardening flesh, his lips and tongue leaving affectionate touches down Yao's face and neck.
Yao could feel Ivan's pleasure as well as his own, each man fueling the other in a rapidly intensifying spiral. He was clinging to the bigger male, digging his heels into the powerfully muscled body. His back was bruising against the hard kitchen counter top, but his mind registered none of the pain as sparkles appeared in the darkness behind closed eyelids, a sign of his rapidly approaching climax.
Yao was kept teetering on the edge, wave after wave of pleasure crashing over him. Finally, he was plunged into a deep ocean of bliss, an incredible burst of joy in his mind as wet heat flooded his body. He cried out his own completion, as his lover collapsed on top of him, panting heavily.
Moments later, when both men had begun to relax from their dynamic union, Ivan lowered his head so that he was whispering into his lover's ear. "You are truly delicious~"
"Shameless pervert! Get out before I lose my temper!" Coming back to his senses, Yao snapped irritably at his lover.
"Aww~ Is Yao mad da? Would you prefer if we do it in the bedroom?" Ivan asked smilingly, making no effort to move out of Yao's warm sanctuary.
"Well… such things should always be done under covers, behind closed doors. Of course the bedroom is the most suitable place for such deeds aru," Yao said grumpily.
A smile of evil tidings appeared on Ivan's radiant face.
"I see~ I'll be glad to fulfill Yao's wish this very moment. Kolkolkolkol~"
Chapter 3: Second and Third Helpings
Warning: This chapter contains explicit descriptions of male-on-male lemon.
"These bamboos thrive really well. The last time I was here, they only reached my shoulders. Now they're so much taller than me," Kiku admired the dense and tall bamboo grove in Yao's front garden.
"I'm hungry da-ze~!" Yong Soo pawed at the tender, green leaves on the strong bamboo shoots. "I could start eating like a panda now."
"The door is just right ahead. Da Ge won't be pleased if you destroy his bamboo grove," Xiang pulled Yong Soo away.
"Aren't we a bit too early?" Wan pouted as she patted foundation on her face with the aid of a hand-held mirror. Her make-up regime had been rudely interrupted when Yong Soo turned up unannounced at her house with a disheveled Kiku and Xiang behind him half an hour ago, demanding that they visit Yao for dinner together because "Chinese rice dumplings originate from Korea da-ze!" Knowing his big brother too well, he had insisted on making all his siblings accompany him so Yao would not have any excuse to turn him out.
"I hope we aren't imposing ourselves on Yao-nii," Kiku said worriedly. Yong Soo had thundered by like a hurricane such that he did not have time to prepare any presents or bring anything apart from himself.
"You and Wan haven't visited Da Ge in awhile. I'm sure Da Ge will be pleased to spend more time with both of you," Xiang said.
"Hey! Why didn't you mention me? Aniki must like me most because China originates from me da-ze! And so do Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong da-ze!"
"That's why," Wan rolled her eyes.
The four siblings trooped towards Yao's front door. Yong Soo made to bang on the door, but Kiku, ever so observant, grabbed his wrist to stop him.
"Look at these footprints pointing inwards," Kiku pointed at the large imprints of Ivan's boot in the soil in front of the door.
Xiang knelt down and studied the footprints. "They're fresh. Someone came before us, and he hasn't left," he confirmed Kiku's concern.
"The door is unlocked," Wan announced as she gently turned the door knob, but did not push it open.
"The Russian bear struck!" they said in shushed voices. Yong Soo looked at his siblings with a puzzled expression.
"If none of you are knocking on the door, I'll shout for him. ANI-"
Kiku landed a smart karate chop on Yong Soo's neck, and the Korean fell to the floor.
"Now, to gather material for our new yaoi doujinshi!" Wan pulled out her camera, which came with a flashlight suppressor and a silencing feature. 'The ultimate videography equipment for voyeurs', just as the online advertisement had promised.
"You're always so well-prepared," Kiku marveled gratefully.
"Elizaveta said that a doujinshi author should be well-prepared to capture new subjects at all times," Wan beamed. "Let's go seek them out?"
"I don't know why I always let you two have your way. Da Ge is going to kill me if he finds out what you have been doing. He hasn't completely forgiven me over that *video leakage incident," Xiang sighed.
(A/N: *Shameless shout out to my first smut fanfic "Sex and the Forbidden City")
"Because we help you to hide all your explicit drawings?" Wan sniggered.
Ivan withdrew his still eagerly upright organ. Effortlessly, he lifted his lover in a bridal carry, chuckling happily as he did so.
"Ivan! Stop it aru! I still need to clean up and make dumplings," Yao exclaimed as he tried to reach out for the kitchen counter for support to clamber out of Ivan's arms.
"Yao, your siblings won't be coming any time soon right?" Ivan hugged Yao more tightly against his torso, much to Yao's trepidation.
"B... but... Kiku's always early. So he might come anytime soon aru," Yao stammered. The intensity of the Russian's hungry gaze unsettled him greatly.
"He couldn't come, remember?" Ivan grinned heartily. "Something about being busy with the World Cup? You got so upset that you cried until I cheered you up with my special ways." He licked his ear, inciting an involuntary groan of pleasure.
"Yao is still upset about your brother da? Let me cheer you up again!" Ivan chuckled as he marched off towards the bedroom.
"But I don't need cheering up aru! Put me down!" Yao flailed his arms and legs.
"Don't worry Yao~ I'll put you down on the bed. Kolkolkolkol~"
"Thank goodness, I thought we missed the show for good," Wan heaved a sigh of relief from outside the kitchen window.
Ivan's lips pressed gently, lovingly over the red marks that he had left behind from their earlier union. Once certain that he had kissed each one to make them last longer, he moved on to suckle each nipple, relishing their heat and hardness.
"Yao, I love you," Ivan whispered as their lips met. The kiss started chaste, soft and gentle, but quickly became hard, wet and dirty.
Ivan tore his own clothes off, hurling them aside, a rumbling growl emanating from deep within his chest. He knelt between Yao's thighs. Yao gazed up anxiously as Ivan intertwined their fingers, pinning his arms over his head, and settled his body over him.
Ivan began exploring. He knew every inch of his lover, possibly even more than Yao himself even did. Yet it never ceased to amaze him how soft and sweet he always tasted. He pressed his nose against the slender chest, inhaling deeply, scenting, licking and tasting before pressing another fresh round of bites against Yao's already reddish and well-marked skin. Open-mouthed kisses trailed from jaw right down to navel. He moved his tongue around it, gently sucking and licking. Yao whimpered from the sensation of butterflies fluttering in his stomach.
Yao looked up at Ivan, breathing rapidly and painfully, anticipating the Russian's next move. He could not do anything but let Ivan have free reign over his body. One forceful hand on his chest and the other on a thigh held him down. He could feel each ridge of each finger dig into his skin, making him feel wanted and needed in so many ways he could not imagine.
Ivan gave him a feral smile. Convinced that Yao, weakened from pleasure, would not leave the bed, he lifted his hand off the chest and moved it down to his lover's manhood. Pushing against Yao's thigh with his other hand, he made sufficient space between the lithe thighs to place his head and took the gradually hardening organ in his mouth. The wet heat on the sensitized skin was almost more than Yao could bear. He writhed and moaned as Ivan's tongue wrapped around the slowly swelling flesh. The long tongue curled and squeezed, creating unfamiliar bolts of lust that struck like lightning. Subconsciously, Yao spread himself wider, offering himself, wanting and needing more. Ivan responded to the silent plea, ploughing and possessing, rubbing the sweet spot mercilessly until it became too much. Yao came hard, shuddering and crying out Ivan's name as he spilled into the eager mouth.
"You taste so good, my little sunflower," Ivan licked the sticky liquid from his lips.
Too spent to do anything more than pant, Yao whimpered softly as Ivan flipped him around so that his stomach was against the soft bedsheets. Ivan trailed kisses from his neck all the way down his back, softly licking and puffing out warm breaths of air. Yao trembled with pleasure. Two fingers pushed inside him, followed almost immediately by three. No pain this time, except for a mild tingling sensation.
"You're so wet. You really want me da?" Ivan's harsh whisper penetrated the unidentified buzzing in his ear.
"No... I don't want... Get off me..." Yao gritted his teeth in a futile attempt to remain modest.
"Lying begets punishment, my naughty sunflower~"
The self-proclaimed disciplinary rammed his hard knob inside him, inciting a cry of protest and pleasure.
Ivan rocked back and forth in small increments, massive erection slowly sinking into Yao's body. When he was buried deep inside him, Ivan lowered himself so that his head was beside Yao's. He grabbed his lover's jaw emphatically, tilting it so that their eyes met.
"Promise me, Yao. Promise that you'll never leave me," he demanded.
"I'll never leave you. I promise, Ivan..." Yao gazed back lovingly in spite of his discomfort.
Satisfied, Ivan closed their distance to claim Yao's lips. His tongue slid inside the small mouth, tasting all its flavours and textures. Then he wrapped it around Yao's tongue, vanquishing it completely, before sucking it victoriously into his own mouth. He felt Yao's body relax, the tightness around his organ easing fractionally as his rebellious lover ceded his body to him. He began to move faster in deep rolling thrusts, rotating his hips firmly and steadily. Yao wailed unresistingly in impassioned lust, his body coiled tight with need. Ivan grabbed his slender waist to steady his writhing body and thrust in and out in a hard, unforgiving rhythm. Yao made incoherent sounds of desire, encouraging Ivan to do whatever he wanted. Their movements became complementary, hard and fast, hot and wet, giving and taking, Ivan's powerful body pushing into Yao who pressed back to meet every thrust.
"Van... Vanya!" Propelled to his pinnacle, Yao cried out is lover's name in a most intimate manner reserved for their most intense love-making sessions. He gripped the bedsheets hard, whitening knuckles reflecting the tenseness of his muscles.
Turned on by Yao's vocal expression of pleasure, Ivan rammed inside impossibly deeper, causing the entire bed to jerk with the power of his movements. One, two, three more thrusts from his strong haunches and Ivan moulded to Yao's body, filling him with his hot ejaculation as he roared to climax, pushing his lover over into the abyss. Yao shuddered and jerked helplessly on the appendage as his essence was released for the third time that day.
Ivan gently turned Yao around to face him.
"You're gorgeous," Ivan pushed away the long bangs, moist with perspiration, so that he could see his lover's amber eyes clearly. Yao looked away, embarrassed, knowing how Ivan was going to tease him about his tsundere tendencies.
"And so defenseless..." Ivan grabbed the trembling chin and angled it upwards. The wide-eyed innocence and helplessness reflected in his lover's reddening face only made his raging libido more insatiable than ever. He pressed their lips together, plunging his tongue inside while strong hands moved in a predatory manner over the svelte back and perky butt cheeks.
"Really, that's enough!" Yao gasped, alarmed by the feel of fingers threatening to intrude his back entrance again.
"Yao, I can never possibly get enough of you..." Ivan whispered dangerously as he moved in for the capture.
Chapter 4 - Mysterious Headaches
Yao opened his eyes slowly, his body throbbing in pain from its thorough usage. His lower body ached, reminding him of his intense and passionate lovemaking with Ivan, but for some inexplicable reason, his head was giving him the most trouble. He rubbed his sore skull as he tried to rearrange his thoughts in an organized manner. The last thing he saw was Ivan's devilishly smiling face inching towards him before his vision grayed out. He had no further recollection of what happened after that. Did this mean that he had collapsed in the middle of having sex? How embarrassing! What kind of man was he if he could not even tolerate his partner's 'acts of affection', as Ivan was fond of calling it. Compared to the times when Ivan did knock Yao out with his ravenous appetite, Ivan was actually considerably gentle this time, if you could even use such a word to describe the zealously lusty Russian.
Yao turned on his side, half-dreading, half looking forward to seeing his lover grin at him from his side of the bed. To his surprise, he drew a blank. Ivan was not lying beside him, nor was he present anywhere in the room as a matter of fact. Yao sat up straight, throwing the blankets off him. He was astonished to find himself fully-clothed in clean clothes and free from perspiration and sticky mess. Annoyance at his lover turned to alarm. Ivan hardly ever took initiative to let him get cleaned up, much less clean him up after sex "just in case we're going for another round". The only time he did was before he had to leave the world to adopt a new form following the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Yao had woken up the next day in the same situation, fully clothed and cleaned as though nothing had happened, safe for the memories and bodily aches.
The unhappy retrospection frightened his still-groggy self into letting his most unpleasant imaginations run wild. He ran around the room frantically, diving under the bed and opening all the cupboards and drawers. Such was his distress that when Ivan came back to the bedroom, he quickly found himself with his arms full of sobbing lover.
"I... I thought... I thought..." Yao stuttered, unable to get the words out.
"Sorry, my poor little sunflower," Ivan murmured as he showered Yao's tearful face with kisses. "I was in the kitchen. I didn't want to wake you up."
Yao opened his mouth to accept Ivan's tongue, letting the feel of the agile organ possess his mouth. Ivan felt his manhood rise. Yao was most agreeable when he was upset. He snaked his hand into the hem of his pants...
"I poured the vodka over the dumplings like you said. Now what?" in walked Xiang suddenly, inciting a shocked gasp and violent shove from Yao.
"Xiang!" Yao goggled at his younger brother. A deeply disgruntled Ivan massaged his crushed butt on the bedroom floor.
"Oh sorry," Xiang mumbled and made to retreat. Then he leaned back in through the door and called, "By the way, how's your head, Da Ge?"
"My head? What's wrong with my head? How do you know that something's wrong with my head aru?" Yao demanded, his increasingly hurting head now swarming with questions like what Xiang was doing in his house and why had he poured vodka over dumplings. Dumplings... The shocked expression on Yao's face contorted to horror as the answer became apparent.
"Aiya! I'm supposed to make dumplings for Xiang and Wan! And Xiang is already here! Aiya aiya aiya!" Yao chewed agitatedly on the edge of his sleeve.
"It's all right, everyone is helping out. I have everything under control. Calm down, Da Ge," Xiang said.
"Everyone? Who's everyone aru?" Yao cried, upset at the prospect of being labeled a terrible host who made his guests prepare their own food.
"Aniki! Your breasts are mine!" Xiang found himself being shoved into an open wardrobe as Yong Soo trampled past him, hands in an outstretched motion towards his unsuspecting big brother.
Kiku grabbed Yong Soo's long hanbok with the best intentions of preventing him from inflicting further trauma to Yao's undoubtedly battered body. Yong Soo lost his balance and fell headlong into Ivan's lap.
"Kiku! I wasn't expecting you! I thought you were busy with the World Cup!" Yao pounced on Kiku and hugged him tightly.
"Well, family comes first," Kiku blushed slightly as he patted his brother on the back, inciting a snort from Ivan. The jealous Russian vented his anger by smacking the fallen Korean on his head.
"OW! Aniki! He hit my already hurting head!" Yong Soo wailed as Ivan shoved him out off his lap.
"Yong Soo! You came too!" Yao detached himself from Kiku and gave Yong Soo a rare but quick hug.
"What's wrong with your head aru?" Yao asked as he helped Yong Soo to his feet.
"It huuurts da-ze~" Yong Soo flapped his sleeves wildly. "My brain's been doing somersaults in my head ever since I got here!"
"Really? That's odd, I have a headache too aru," Yao mused, as the throbbing in his head announced its presence again.
"Headaches originate from me da-ze!" Yong Soo sang.
"For once, you got that right," Xiang dusted his sleeves as he crawled out of the wardrobe.
"Aniki! I'm hungry! I've been waiting for hours and hours da-ze! Wan is still doing her make-up, Xiang doesn't know what he's doing, Kiku-hyung takes half an hour just to wrap one miserable dumpling and all Ivan wants to do is make disgusting Vodka dumplings da-ze! Go make dinner!" Yong Soo rubbed his empty stomach piteously, oblivious to the fumes of anger radiating from the people he had just thoughtlessly criticized.
"You didn't even lift a finger to help!" Xiang complained, stung by the jibe at his lack of domestic talents.
"I fainted and was out cold for hours like Kiku-hyung said, wasn't I? You couldn't possibly make a sick person do work da-ze!"
"Hours? Do you mean... you all have been here for hours? And what's this about Yong Soo fainting aru?" Yao widened his eyes in alarmed. He glanced at his clock. Barely less than two hours ago, he was being sexually assaulted right in this room by a certain starving Russian. Did this mean that...
Yao felt his face turn hot as he choked on invisible tears, "you saw... you saw Ivan and I..."
"No we did not," Xiang replied a little too quickly for comfort.
"Ahahaha Yao-nii," Kiku laughed awkwardly. "You know how Yong Soo enjoys exaggerating. Actually, we only just got here. Right, Ivan-kun?"
"Da~! Poor little Yong Soo fainted because I greeted him a little too enthusiastically with my water pipe~" Ivan placed an arm threateningly around the Korean's neck, intimidating him from speaking further.
"Yes. When we saw you, you were already fully-clothed and clean," Xiang tried to salvage his mistake, only to have dug a deeper hole in the ground. Kiku kicked him hard in one leg and Ivan trod hard on a foot.
"In conclusion~ they arrived only after I finished eating my early dinner~" Ivan smiled suggestively.
Yao blushed, but refusing to get distracted, he narrowed his eyes and watched their faces searchingly. Three pairs of eyes stared back as earnestly as they could (Yong Soo was too busy trying to wrestle free from his prison warden), willing the Chinese nation to accept their half-baked lies. Xiang was just beginning to feel his eyes water from the strain when a welcome distraction arrived in the form of Wan.
"Da Ge~!" The vivacious young lady squealed as she threw her arms around Yao's neck.
"Wan-wan!" Yao exclaimed, surprised but pleased that his favourite little sister was so excited to see him.
"How are you? You haven't come to visit me in ages!" Yao said anxiously, all his own fears having evaporated sky-high into the clouds.
"I'm very well, Da Ge. All thanks to you~!" Wan giggled happily. She stretched out a hand behind her and extended three fingers to make an 'OK' sign at her accomplices.
As Yao fussed over Wan, Kiku mopped perspiration off his brow, Xiang let a tear flow freely and Ivan released Yong Soo. Yet another day had passed, in which Yao had been spared heart-attack-inducing details of his perverted siblings' voyeuristic fetish. In spite everyone's differences, there was unanimous agreement that Yao did not need to know the truth behind his and Yong Soo's mysterious headaches.
It would certainly do no good for Yao to learn of how Yong Soo, having come round outside Yao's front door to find himself alone, had barged into the bedroom just as the couple was about to make love for another time. Out of the blue, Xiang came soaring in through the bedroom window, legs extended in a flying split. In one powerful motion, he kicked both Ivan and Yong Soo hard on their heads. Yong Soo passed out promptly, while Ivan's head rammed against Yao's. Thanks to cushioning from his thick skin and big bones, Ivan received a temporary headache, but Yao went out like a light. Exactly what Xiang wanted. His poor big brother really did not need to know how out of four siblings he brought up, two of them were perverts while another was a moron. Some truths were better left concealed forever.
It was the middle of next day when Wan woke up with a nasty hangover from Vodka dumplings. She felt weak and ill, but she was immensely satisfied. Thanks to her wonderful big brother and his boyfriend, she had finally finished drawing the hot yaoi sex scene for her doujinshi, the one and only obstacle that stood before her submission deadline to Yaoi Times, the most prestigious fan magazine in Japan. Having sent Xiang to submit her completed pages to the editor, Wan lazed in bed, fantasizing about receiving tonnes of fanmail from her grateful readers.
Her cell phone rang and she glanced at the display monitor. "Ah, here's one," she said happily to herself before answering it.
"Hi Elizaveta~!"
"Wan! I just saw the new copy of Yaoi Times! Your section was so hot! You bled my nose dry!" The Hungarian fujioshi shrieked into her ear.
"Thank you teacher. It's all thanks to you for teaching me the tricks of the trade! Kiku-nii has been very helpful too!" Wan replied happily.
"No, no, you must teach me your tricks. I offered Yao Lake Balaton in return for some tame pictures of him and Ivan kissing and he won't even budge. And yet here you've got him going all the way for the camera. I know there's the saying 'Blood is thicker than water', but still, that Chinese prude doesn't strike me as someone who would allow such provocative photos to be taken no matter what. How did you persuade him? Tell meeee!" Elizaveta blubbered.
"What? How did you know that I got my muse from them when the doujin is of Sebastian and Ciel?" Wan replied, utterly confused.
"What doujin, dear? I only saw a page of photos of Yao and Ivan credited under you and Kiku."
Wan ended the baffling conversation, feeling greatly unsettled. She was about to put the blame on hallucinations from Vodka intoxication and go back to sleep when an urgent series of knocking sounds came from outside her door. She opened the door to let in a distressed-looking Xiang pulling a suitcase behind him.
"What happened?" she asked worriedly. Xiang hardly ever displayed any expression on his face unless it was a life and death situation.
"Quick, pack your bags, we must run now," Xiang said with a manic expression on his face. He grabbed the nearest bag he saw and began shoving Wan's things into it.
"Hey!" Wan shouted in protest. "What are you doing? Say something! You're scaring me!" she tugged urgently at his sleeve.
Xiang turned to look at her. Suddenly, tears began falling down his cheeks.
"I've done it again..." he said tearfully.
"Done what? Stop crying and speak up!" Wan grabbed his shoulders and shook him urgently.
Xiang opened up the large brown envelope in his hand, revealing a CD labeled 'doujinshi'.
"In my drunken stupor, I gave the editor the CD labeled 'photos' instead. We're in so much trouble now..."
An angry roar rang out from further North.
"Killing originates from... No wait, what did I do da-ze? Help! Put that sword down!"

Booher Voted OAC Men's Golf Coach of the Year
Written by Jeremy Morgan
AUSTINTOWN – Head coach Brian Booher of the Otterbein men's golf team has been named Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Coach of the Year in his respective sport, announced Tuesday morning by the league office.
Booher, in his fourth season as the men's coach and fifth year at the helm of the women's program, receives his third consecutive honor on the men's side with this year's following a staggering 28-stroke victory at this past weekend's OAC Championships.
Under Booher's direction this season, the Cardinals notched their eighth-straight OAC regular-season title and fourth-straight conference tournament championship, boosting the program's total for league titles to 20 including wins in eight of the last 10 championship events.
Otterbein also placed all five of its golfers among the top-15 competitors at the league championships this past Sunday, led by sophomore Kurt Fortman who secured top-medalist honors while three others earned All-OAC accolades to help the Cards punch their fourth-straight ticket to the NCAA Division III Championships.
The Cardinals will now turn their attention to the NCAA D3 Championships to be played May 15-18 at Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C. Otterbein has already logged experience at the venue earlier this spring when it went 3-1 at the NCAA D3 Match Play event.
Otterbein University is a private, non-profit, United Methodist affiliated, regionally-accredited institution.

Scores and Reviews
The Wine Advocate
Wine Spectator
The Wine Advocate - The medium garnet colored 2009 du Tertre conjures notions of kirsch, black raspberries, warm plums and potpourri on the nose with hints of sage and menthol. The palate is medium-bodied, soft, juicy and seductively approachable with a lively finish.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 14/03/2019
Jancis - Lightly treacly nose. Interesting. Very different sort of nose. The fruit is kept in check – not too aggressively sweet. Tamped down to provide much more of a classic Margaux style but with lots of pleasure. Very cool indeed.
(Jancis Robinson MW, jancisrobinson.com - Apr 2010)
Wine Spectator - Floral and perfumed, with blackberry and blueberry. Full and silky, with a lovely finish. Balanced. Lovely chocolaty character and texture. Big improvement. 55 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 percent Merlot, 15 percent Cabernet Franc and 8 percent Petit Verdot.
(James Suckling - Wine Spectator - March 2010)
Parker - A seductive, opulent, textured Margaux with notes of licorice, black fruits, asphalt, pen ink and truffle, this is one of the finest du Tertres ever made. It has a hedonistic quality to it, but at the same time, there is great class, precision and freshness to this full-bodied, concentrated, but very supple-textured wine. Drink it over the next 20+ years
(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Feb 2012)
Decanter - Fine deep red, good briary berry fruit with concentration and elegance, good florality, length, structure and very good potential
(Steven Spurrier - Decanter - Apr 2010)

The Grape
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% (Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
The Region
If Pauillac can be seen as the bastion of 'traditional' Red Bordeaux, then Margaux represents its other facet in producing wines that are among Bordeaux's most sensual and alluring. It is the largest commune in the Médoc, encompassing the communes of Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labaude, in addition to Margaux itself. Located in the centre of the Haut-Médoc, Margaux is the closest of the important communes to the city of Bordeaux.
The soils in Margaux are the lightest and most gravelly of the Médoc, with some also containing a high percentage of sand. Vineyards located in Cantenac and Margaux make up the core of the appelation with the best vineyard sites being located on well-drained slopes, whose lighter soils give Margaux its deft touch and silky perfumes. Further away from the water, there is a greater clay content and the wines are less dramatically perfumed.
Margaux is the most diffuse of all the Médoc appelations with a reputation for scaling the heights with irreproachable wines such as Ch. Margaux and Ch. Palmer, but also plumbing the depths, with too many other châteaux not fulfilling their potential. There has been an upward shift in recent years, but the appellation cannot yet boast the reliability of St Julien. However, the finest Margaux are exquisitely perfumed and models of refinement and subtlety which have few parallels in Bordeaux.
Recommended Châteaux: Ch. Margaux, Ch. Palmer, Ch. Brane-Cantenac, Ch. Rauzan-Ségla , Ch. Dufort-Vivens, Ch. Ferrière, Ch. du Tertre, Ch. Giscours, Ch. d'Angludet.

Kia Motors has internally identified the need to utilize big data analytics (BDA) for its marketing campaigns to maximize the efficiency of its investments. An analytical model was developed to recommend the right type of vehicle for a customer based on the integration of internal and external information. Recognizing that the results of the model can be applied differently to its advertising and promotional efforts, Kia Motors decided to split the teams in their activities while sharing the same model.
The analytical model uses an extraction algorithm that sorts out prospective customers based on data collected through partnerships with SK Telecom, Daum Kakao, and Google. Close collaboration was carried out between the Kia Motors team and its partners to ensure there is an alignment between the data and its interpretation. In addition, machine learning (ML)–based customer behavior predictive modeling was also implemented. As a result, both advertisements and promotions improved from previous campaigns by over 400% and 300%, respectively. Since then, Kia Motors has used data analytics in its business processes to drive all marketing campaigns.

Silver Cliff, Colorado
The Silver Cliff property lies within the historic Hardscrabble Silver District, and consists of 96 lode claims where high grade silver, gold and base metal production came from numerous mines during the period 1878 to 1894. It is located 44 miles WSW of Pueblo Colorado and has year-around access by paved road. The property underwent substantial exploration between 1967 and 1984 for the purpose of defining mineral inventories. The major explorers were Freeport, Hecla, Homestake, Moly Corp, Coca Mines and Tenneco Minerals.
Silver Cliff is thought to overlie a large caldera and porphyry system which increases the prospect's potential to host a number of deposits from both precious metals to base metals. This has been demonstrated in the mineralogy and grade historically extracted from numerous underground mining operations dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The Company has an exploration target of 40 to 50 million ounces of silver.
Multiple exploration targets have been delineated for drilling
Past drilling at Silver Cliff was designed to test only the flat-lying shallow mineralized bodies with vertical holes but not the High-angle mineralized structures which are the ultimate controls for the emplacement of these mineralized bodies. This indicates that follow-up drill programs need to include angle holes which will cut these mineralized structures, potentially upgrading the deposits.
Drilling in the 1980s by Tenneco resulted in a historical pre-feasibility study which formed the company's decision to put the property into production. Known historical silver grades range from below detection to a high of 2,125 g/t (68 o/t) Ag over 13.4 metres. Known historical gold grades range from below detection to a high of 9.06 g/t (0.29 o/t) Au over 1.2 metres. Plans were halted due to the restructuring of Tenneco after it was sold.
Silver Cliff Property Geology
The fall of 2016 drilling shows that the silver mineralization (blue grey) is hosted predominantly by a gently-dipping unit of highly altered rhyolite tuff that was deposited during volcanic activity in the Silver Cliff caldera.The Kate Silver Resource (the "KSR") at this juncture appears to be the result of extensive alteration by hot hydrothermal silver/lead/zinc-bearing fluids that ascended up along deep seated faults and related fractures. These rhyolite tuff units can be found over a large lateral extent are susceptible to extensive alteration by metal rich hydrothermal solutions and maybe the greatest promise for the KSR in the other deeper unexplored stacked horizons. These may be found associated with high grade epithermal veins that could underlie the KSR.
The geology shows that the silver mineralization (blue-grey mineralization) is hosted predominantly by a gently-dipping, silicified carbonate reef that formed during a volcanic hiatus. The Kate Silver Resource at this juncture appears to be the result of simple carbonate replacement by silica-rich, silver/lead/zinc-bearing fluids adjacent to interpreted deep seated epithermal veins. These carbonate rock systems replaced by silicification-associated resources are commonly found over large lateral extents and the greatest promise for the Kate Silver Resource may eventually lie in undiscovered stacked horizons, in combination with high-grade epithermal veins that may underlie the Kate Silver Resource.
Phase 1 Geologic Mapping & Surface Sampling
In July 2016, Viscount commenced Phase 1 exploration program at the Silver Cliff Property in Colorado and begin by identifying historic drill collar locations, surface sampling, detailed geologic mapping, geophysics, and geochemistry.
The Company is accessing previous data including locations of historic resource estimates, drill holes, old mines, and exploration targets. Target models for the Property provided in the available information include near-surface blanket-style mineralization and high grade vein deposits which remain generally untested.
The Company completed over thirty line-miles of magnetic geophysical surveying. The resulting extensive data package has subsequently been compiled and clearly shows a good correlation between high magnetic responses and silver mineralization encountered by historical drilling. Not only do the high magnetic responses correlate with known silver mineralization, but there also are other high response zones that remain open or untested by drilling. These represent areas to target for discovery of extensions to reported mineral inventories and additional zones of mineralization.
The detailed mapping that was completed in October 2016 revealed a previously undocumented, silicified carbonate reef complex. The silicification indicates replacement by hydrothermal fluids. Further, both the Kate Silver Resource and the silicified carbonate reef occupy the same stratigraphic position, directly above an obsidian bed. If the carbonate reef was completely replaced by silica, it would be a very brittle rock, easily shattered by minor tectonic adjustments, creating a breccia whose matrix could become mineralized by hydrothermal fluids from an epithermal or hypothermal feeder vein. The discovery of the carbonate reef complex has yielded a completely different genetic model for the Kate Silver Resource than that proposed by previous geologists.
Preliminary results of representative, continuous rock chip sampling and geological mapping at a scale of 1:240 around the perimeter of the 7960 bench in the existing aggregate pit shows that silver, manganese, lead, zinc, gallium, and indium are present. Only recently have indium and gallium become of great importance, with indium used in LCD televisions and computer monitors, and, gallium in medical devices, microwave circuits, high-speed switching circuits and infrared circuits. Semi-conductive gallium nitride and indium gallium nitride produce blue and violet light-emitting diodes (LED lights) and diode lasers.
Detailed geologic mapping at a scale of 1:1000 by Viscount geologists done in the vicinity of the Kate Silver Resource suggests that the polymetallic resource may be a combination of epithermal vein and a carbonate replacement deposit. Previous work considered the Kate Silver Resource to be of supergene origin. Supergene processes of enrichment produce ore deposits that occur relatively near the surface as opposed to hypogene processes which occur deeper below the earth's surface and result in deposits that are much later discovered after being exposed by erosion and by drilling.
Phase 1 Drilling Program at the Kate
In November 2016, a drill program was commenced with the objective of confirming the historical documentation on one of the Silver Cliff deposits known as Kate Silver Resource and will also include angle holes which will test steeply dipping mineralized structures that have the potential for enhancing historical estimates based on vertical holes that tested flat-lying mineralized bodies.
In this first phase of core drilling, the Company completed 9 holes totaling 1,502 ft. (457.8 m), and were assayed at ALS Canada Ltd., at their laboratories in Reno, Nevada, and Vancouver, BC. This program will begin to define the deposits. As stated previously, the Company on the basis of historical estimates has a target of 40 to 50 million ounces of silver on the Property. However, potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
In December 2016, Viscount Mining reported high grade silver intercept at its Silver Cliff Property for assay results for confirmation on hole K16-01 drilled at an inclination of -60° averaged 1,778 parts per million (ppm, i.e. g/t and which equals 57.2 oz/t) over 20 ft. (6.1 m) from 60 to 80 ft. (18.3 to 24.4 m) of core interval. Each analyzed sample in this interval represented 5 ft. (1.52 m). The 50 ft. (15.24 m) of mineralized core from 55 to 105 feet (16.76 to 32.00 m) averaged 837.35 ppm (26.92 oz/t). The collar of K16-01is estimated from historic maps and field evidence to be within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of historical drill hole DDH 73-2 for which reports show 1,927.7 g/t silver over 13.5 m (62 oz/t over 44.29 ft.).
Based on core logging, the mineralization is associated with silica which has replaced locally vuggy limestone of a reef comprised of fossilized stromatolites. Viscount's technical team attributes the difference in silver values between 2016 drill hole K16-01 and historical drill hole DDH73-2 to the fact that such replacement typically is not uniform. The mineralized siliceous zone intersected by K16-01 is located at a depth from which it could be mined efficiently utilizing open pit techniques, and, because the reef appears to be nearly flat-lying, there is potential for lateral extensions of the mineralization.
Given the fact that there is a historical silver resource and PEA completed for the Silver Cliff project, we believe the region containing, and immediately surrounding the Kate Silver Resource is materially underexplored and the historical resource there could be greatly enhanced in the future with just a few strategically placed drill holes.
In January 2017, Viscount Mining reported additional high grade silver intersectios of drill holes at its Silver Cliff property from the drill program commenced in mid-November 2016.
Nine holes with a total of 1,502 ft. (457.8 m) were completed in the recent campaign and this release is reporting values from K16-01, K16-03, K16-04, K16-05, K16-06, and K16-08 from which core was assayed at ALS Canada Ltd., at their laboratories in Reno, Nevada, and Vancouver, BC. In the case of K16-08, core sampling and, hence, assaying inadvertently stopped at 173 feet (52.7 m), only 3 feet (0.9 m) past the historical intersection of silver mineralization. Viscount will extend the sampling of this hole when the next phase of work commences.
A summary of drill intersections for which assays have been received to date is presented below. The hole collars lie within a northeast trending corridor that is 833 ft. (254m) from K16-05 to K16-03. Holes K16-03 and -04 were drilled at -90° (vertical) and the others toward north at -60° to the horizontal. Although rock units dip or slope at 2° to 5° toward the east-southeast as noted under the heading "Silver Cliff Geology", the present interpretation is that silver-bearing mineralization and silica have replaced portions of a porous limestone reef unit. Such replacement is typically uneven rather than uniformly tabular. Because of this and the early stage of drilling, true widths are not estimated.

" 10 of the Kate Silver Deposit historical drill holes were twinned. They will be drilled to an average depth of about 328 feet (100 metres) versus an average of 197 feet (60 metres) for historic drilling at Kate.
" Results will assess upside potential and contribute to the verification of historical resources at the nearly flat-lying Kate Silver Deposit which at less than 70 feet (21 metres) depth, and up to 88 feet (27 metres) apparent true thickness, would have open pit mining potential.
" Historical records show that deeper rhyolite tuff layers have elevated silver concentrations. In particular, a number of the few historic holes deeper than 197 feet (60 metres) either ended in or passed through mineralized tuff.
" Drilling will also test the potential continuity and grade of the deeper mineralized tuff with 5 of the 10 planned holes probing to depths of more than 328 feet (100 metres). One or more of the holes also will test prominent cross-cutting faults for high grade silver, either in altered adjacent volcanics or in veins within the fault zones. If the deep drilling locates other horizons with potentially economic concentrations of silver, it will have significant bearing on the next phase of work.

Parenting is tough enough without having to deal with a child that is constantly ill, or worse, trying to support your family when you are snotty and sick. Your health and the health of your family is a priority for reasons that do not need elaboration. If you are looking for an online resource for general well-being, nutrition, and parenting tips among other helpful information; Mommy Authority is a useful site that will be able to support your inquiries. If you are wanting to take a few additional measures to ensure the holistic health of yourself and your family – we recommend implementing these Ayurveda Lifestyle Tips into your daily routine.
But First, What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a 5000-year-old system of natural healing that was developed by the sages, or ancient physicians, of India. Translated as the science of life ("Ayur" meaning life and "Veda" meaning science or knowledge), these teachings help to promote health and vitality by focusing on the balanced relationship between the body and the mind. Ayurveda offers a more personalized approach to health, providing more crafted recommendations on diet, exercise, and other lifestyle aspects based on mind-body types called Doshas. These are unique blends of the elements and are considered to be the life energies behind all bodily functions. The following tips, however, are general things to keep in mind to implement and enrich a more holistically healthy lifestyle.
Tip #1. Pay Attention To Oral Health
Oral health is seen as a direct link to overall health. Various Ayurvedic oral hygiene practices have been developed to not only enhance the taste of food and drink; but support digestive strength, promote detoxification, and boost immunity. Over and above flossing and brushing, a few of these practices include:
- Oil Pulling – To swish coconut or sesame oil in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes in order to detoxify teeth and gums of bad bacteria, which in turn detoxifies the body. Spit out the oil and rinse with warm water.
- Tongue Scraping – Using a stainless steel tongue scraper; remove dirt and toxins that cause bad breath from your tongue by rinsing off and repeating until there is no chalky substance left.
- Chewing Specific Spices After Eating – Anise seeds, fennel seeds, cloves, and cardamom are known to have cleansing and disinfecting properties which help to jump-start digestion.
Tip #2. Eat Bright & Take Delight
Quality nutrition is vital for building and maintaining a healthy body and mind. Fresh foods from all the colors of the rainbow have many health benefits as the variety of colors and phytonutrients ensure that the body has all of the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants it needs for optimal functioning. Another way to ensure you and your family are receiving a balanced diet is to include the 6 tastes, known as Rasas, in every meal to balance out your doshas. The six tastes are:
- Sweet; such as wheat, rice, cereals, dairy, dates, and pumpkins.
- Sour; such as wine, lemon, vinegar, pickled and fermented foods.
- Salty; such as black olives, Himalayan and Rock salt.
- Astringent; such as pomegranates, cranberries, and green beans.
- Pungent; such as garlic, ginger, onions, mustard, and hot spices.
- Bitter; such as turmeric, green vegetables, and tea.
Digestive energy, or Agni, is also a very important part of Ayurveda which sustains healthy functioning and eliminates waste. A few ways to strengthen your digestive fire include:
- Sitting down in silence and free from distraction when eating.
- Drinking hot ginger tea throughout the day.
- Practicing the Kapalabhati breathing technique.
- Minimizing raw foods.
Tip #3. Meditate & Be Mindful
Mindfulness and meditation are ways to both strengthen the mind and body while balancing these energetic entities in perfect harmony. Meditation comes in various forms and should be practiced every day in order to build up strength and resilience. A few types of meditation include:
- Expressing gratitude every day.
- Breathing Exercises.
- Dry Skin Brushing.
- Daily Oil Massage.
- Yoga or Tai Chi.
By paying attention to oral health, taking delight in bright and flavourful meals, as well as practicing mindful meditation every day; both you and your family can become stronger and more resilient in body and mind. These 3 tips inspired by the ancient practice of Ayurveda will promote a more healthy lifestyle in a considered and holistic way.

text: YUM Baits' Baby Christie Critter Ned Kehde - June 22, 2016 A member of the Finesse News Network who spends a lot of time searching for soft-plastic baits that Midwest finesse anglers can affix to a mushroom-style jig told us that YUM Baits' Baby Christie Critter looks to be a creature bait that might strike the fancy of some Midwest finesse anglers. He said it should be an effective supplement to the four-inch soft-plastic lizard that some Midwest finesse anglers employ in late April, throughout May, and early June. And it can also supplement their use of a tube.The Baby Christie Critter is a 3 1/2-inch creature bait. It is the creation of Jason Christie of Park Hill, Oklahoma, who is a professional angler who nowadays competes on two Bassmaster circuits, as well as at the Texas Toyota Bass Classic and Major League Fishing events.According to Christie, it is at its best when the largemouth bass are spawning and during the post-spawn period. He also describes it as an effective sight-fishing tool.The top of its head is dome shaped. Its torso consists of seven wide segments, and these segments, which some anglers call ribs, encircle the top, sides, and bottom of the torso. A relatively long and thin appendage radiates off each side of the second segment of the torso below its head. These appendages are also curled. Four major appendages embellish the tail end of its torso. Two of them are wide and wing-shaped. Some anglers say they are spaded-shaped. Other anglers describe them as big flappers. The other two appendages are narrow, long, and curled. These six appendages are designed to move a lot. As they move, they displace a significant amount of water, and the movement and displacement of water are thought to be alluring to largemouth bass at times.Christie says he likes to use it as a trailer on a skirted jig, and it allows the jig to fall at a quicker pace than it falls when it is affixed to a bigger, wider, and thicker trailer. He also affixes it Texas-style to a 5/0 hook and a slip sinker, and he flips and pitches it. Furthermore, it can be rigged Texas-style on a Carolina rig. Christie's finesse presentation, which Midwest finesse anglers call power finesse, is accomplished by affixing it Texas-style onto a shaky-head jig.But these are not the ways that Midwest finesse anglers will rig and wield the Baby Christie Critter. What's more, it is also a tad too big for most Midwest finesse applications. But Midwest finesse anglers are inveterate customizers. Thus, they will remove its head and the segment of its torso adjacent to its head, making it a three-inch bait. Then they will affix it to a small mushroom-style jig with an exposed hook, which will allow them to employ it with all six of the standard Midwest finesse retrieves. (For more information the six Midwest finesse retrieves, please see the Midwest Finesse column at this link: https://www.in-fisherman.com/midwest-finesse/six-midwest-finesse-retrieves/) The appendages can also be removed or customized.It is manufactured in the following colors: Black Blue Flake, Black Blue Shadow, Black Neon, Green Pumpkin, Green Pumpkin Purple, Junebug, Watermelon Candy, and Watermelon Green Pumpkin Laminate. They are impregnated with Yum's proprietary scent.A package of 10 cost $2.99.

When I locate the bait, I use a cast net suitable and according to the size of the bait and the depth of the water. For very small bait, a Betts® 1/4" mesh #25 Series is good. For the price conscious, the Tyzac™ #4N, 1/4:" Nylon Series net will also work.
The best all around bait net for medium and above size bait is the Betts Old Salt™ Series, 3/8" mesh, which has the reputation of being the best and most dependable net made. For the price conscious, the Betts® Hi Tider™ Series, #HMPB, works fine in water under 5' deep.
In all of the series, a 6' and 7' works good. If you can cast a 4' net you can cast a 7' net.

Hello, pals! We recently made the switch for all of our Barley Labs treats to use an organic barley flour -- the same flour we use in our Mutt Mash flavors.
This transition will take some time to hit your local shops where Barley Labs is sold, but you'll know when you see the green "Now Wheat Free" circles on the packages.
The treats you buy directly from our site have already transitioned, so they all are wheat free.
The best part? As your VP of Quality Control, I can confirm that the treats are just as nommy as before. It's a ruff job, but I do it for all of you.
Woofs & Love,

the first game to allow cross-network play between Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and all it needs now is to "find out where we stand politically with everyone".In an interview with Gamespot, Psyonix vice president, Jeremy Dunham said:

Rocket League - PlayStation 4$19.99on Green Man Gaming
"Technologically everything works, we've got it figured out, just a little bit of time to get everything up and running. Right now, excitement is the best way to put it. We just want to get in there and make it happen."
He added: "The only thing we have to do now is sort of find out where we stand politically with everyone, and then it's full steam ahead to finish the solution that we've already started."Microsoft has extended an open invitation to "other networks" (Sony), while Sony is "happy to have the conversation" about allowing the service (with Microsoft). It seems like something of a stand-off at this point, with Psyonix looking like a mediator for the two.
Dunham is keen to emphasise the benefit of cross-network play to developers, citing how it makes adding new features and tweaks an simpler process:
"More players, for everyone, means more games, and more games means more participation and community feedback, which we can then put into the game as a whole and not have to worry about siloing off certain features of certain platforms because this version doesn't have it, or whatever the situation may be."

NG Bailey has highlighted the general lack of realisation over the next update to the Energy-related Products Directive (ErPD) and their implications, particularly for air handling units (AHUs).
The company's central engineering design and development manager Will Pitt – a member of the H&V News editorial advisory board – shared the technical bulletin he prepared by his company to help draw attention to the issue.
"It has become clear that there is a widespread lack of awareness of the changes which are due to come into force on 1st January 2016," he said.
"I've put together an internal briefing for our business as they are likely to have both design and cost implications," said Mr Pitt.
The bulletin states that all AHUs will need to be ErP compliant from January and this will involve a "cost uplift and will also require a greater footprint" to the increased efficiencies required.
These are included within Lot 6 of the directive, which focuses on minimum performance levels for ventilation units and implemented between 2016 to 2018.
Mr Pitt's ErPD technical bulletin is reproduced below.
"There is clearly still quite a lot of work to be done to ensure all manufacturers are up to speed with this important new legislation," said Lochinvar managing director David Pepper.
He further stated that manufacturers had already conducted "expensive testing", however, absorbing the cost without passing these on to contractors, and also added:
"All manufacturers do have a duty to provide contractors with the data they need to ensure products are compliant."
18th November 2015
Technical Bulletin
Energy Related Products Regulations And Air Handling Units
1. Introduction
The purpose of this technical bulletin is to provide an overview of the key requirements of the EcoDesign Directive and the Energy-Related Products Directive (ErP)specifically in relation to Air Handling Units.
All air handling units supplied and installed from the 1st January 2016 must conform to the legislative requirements of the EcoDesign Directive and the Energy-Related Products Directive. ErP compliant air handling units will have a cost uplift and will also require a greater footprint in order to meet the increased efficiencies of the regulations.
All tenders must ensure that AHU quotations include for ErP compliant air handling units.
2. What is Eco design and ErP?
The Eco-Design Directive establishes an EU-wide framework for setting minimum energy efficiency standards for energy related products. It aims to improve the energy efficiency of products throughout their life-cycle and includes provisions to enforce the use of EU energy labelling. The Directive has been transposed into law in the UK by the Eco-Design for Energy-Related Products Regulations 2010.
3. What is Eco design Directive Lot 6?
For practical reasons, the implementation of the Eco design Directive is split into a number of areas of related products, called "lots", focusing on the product areas with the most substantial energy consumption and the highest potential for energy savings. Lot 6 concerns ventilation units, a highly relevant product area, since ventilation, heating and air conditioning represents about 15% of the total energy consumption in the EU, and there is a wide variance in energy efficiency among the products on the market. The Eco design Directive Lot 6 will achieve its target by setting up minimum performance requirements for ventilation products, which will be implemented in steps from 2016 to 2018.
4. Classification
Ventilation units are classified either as "Residential Ventilation Units" (RVU) or "Non
Residential Ventilation Units" (NRVU). NRVU units means any unit above 250 m3/h and in the instance where a manufacturer has not declared its product range with air volume ranging from 250 m3/h up to 1000 m3/h as being for residential use only, the product range falls into the NRVU classification automatically.
Most units supplied and installed by NG Bailey will fall under the category of NRVU's.
5. Exemptions
_ Fans in a casing according to 327/2011 and with a power input of less than 30W;
_ ATEX Directive (explosive atmospheres);
_ Fans required for emergency situations;
_ Certain extreme temperatures;
_ Power supply voltages greater than 1000V AC or 1500V DC;
_ In toxic, corrosive, inflammable environments or in environments with abrasive
_ Ventilation systems that include a heat exchanger and a heat pump for heat recovery. Note a DX heating and cooling coil is not heat pump heat recovery.
_ Kitchen fans.
6. Requirements for Non Residential Ventilation Unit (NRVU)
a) All ventilation units, except fans with more than one range of application (for example fans used for both ventilation and combustion gas extraction) shall be equipped with a step-by-step or a variable speed controller i.e. inverter control.
b) All ventilation units with two directions of airflow shall have a heat recovery system.
The Directive definition for 'heat recovery system' (HRS) means the part of a bidirectional ventilation unit equipped with a heat exchanger designed to transfer the heat contained in the contaminated exhaust air to the fresh supply air.
c) The heat recovery system shall have a thermal bypass. This means heat recovery regulation between 1-100%. Acceptable solutions include: Face and by pass on Plate
Heat Exchangers, speed controller on Rotary Thermal Wheels and on/off control on
Run-Around Coil pumps. Although it is not explicitly stated in the directive, it is believed that a mixing box does not constitute heat recovery.
The Directive definition of "thermal by-pass" is any solution that circumvents the heat exchanger or controls automatically or manually its heat recovery performance, without necessarily requiring a physical airflow bypass (for example: summer box, rotor speed control, control of air flow);
d) In ventilation units with two directions of airflow, the minimum thermal efficiency of all heat recovery systems (except run-around liquid systems) shall be the following:
• As from 1 January 2016: Min. 67%
• As from 1 January 2018: Min. 73%
Note: These minimum efficiencies are to be based on equal balance air volumes and are above the UK Part L2 2013 minimum requirements (current Part L2:- 50% for PHE, 65% for RTW).
Note: There may be project specific heat recovery efficiencies in the thermal model to achieve ADL2/EPC targets.
e) In ventilation units with two directions of airflow, the minimum thermal efficiency of run-around liquid heat recovery systems shall be the following:
• As from 1 January 2016: Min. 63%
• As from 1 January 2018: Min. 68%
Note: These minimum efficiencies are to be based on equal balance air volumes and are above the UK Part L2 2013 minimum requirements (current Part L2:- 45% for RAC).
Note: There may be project specific heat recovery efficiencies in the thermal model to achieve ADL2/EPC targets.
f) The ratio between the internal limit specific fan power (SFPint_limit) and the heat recovery system's efficiency is specified in a formula. For example, if the efficiency of the heat recovery system is higher than 67%, a higher specific fan power (SFPint_limit) is permissible. This requirement will be implemented in two steps. The first step will be implemented on 1 January 2016, and the second, with more stringent demands, on 1 January 2018.
g) Unidirectional ventilation units (UVU's) intended to be used with a filter have a
SFPint_limit of 250 W/m3/s.
There is also a limiting fan efficiency for UVU's. A formula within annex iii must be used to calculate the limiting fan efficiency for units below 30kW. Above 30KW, the limiting efficiency is 63.1%.
Unidirectional ventilation unit (UVU) means a ventilation unit producing an air flow in one direction only, either from indoors to outdoors (exhaust) or from outdoors to indoors (supply), where the mechanically produced air flow is balanced by natural air supply or exhaust;
When receiving quotes from AHU manufacturers please ensure they:-
a) Confirm the SFP Internal limit (int_limit)
b) Demonstrate that the proposed unit SFPint is less than the calculated limit using
the methodology described in the ErP Regulations.
7. Design Implications (detail removed for legal reasons)
8. Electrical Motors
Regulation (EU) No 640/2009: Eco-design requirements for electric motors for AHU fans shall be applied in accordance to the following timetable:
1. From 1st January 2015, motors with a rated output of 7.5 to 375kW shall be IE3 level or IE2 equipped with a variable speed drive
2. From 1st January 2017, motors with a rated output power of 0.75 to 7.5kW shall be
IE3 level or IE2 equipped with a variable speed drive.
9. ErP Regulations and Part L Building Regulations
Compliance with the ErP Regulations is in addition to the Building Regulations Part L2 2013.
SFPint_limit is specific to the individual ventilation equipment and should not be confused with the Part L Specific Fan Power which is based on the entire ventilation system.
