Most people have heard of acupuncture, but what exactly is acupressure? Acupressure is a form of massage therapy that uses the fingers to apply light pressure to various key points on the body. Acupressure seeks to help energy flow freely by unblocking pathways in the body that have been clogged by stress and tension. If you've been dealing with physical or emotional discomfort, acupressure can provide the relief you need. Here are just a few of the benefits of regular acupressure.
Physical Recovery
If you've recently experienced an injury or illness, acupressure can help in your recovery process. Acupressure relieves muscle tension and improves blood circulation, which helps your body rebuild lost strength. Acupressure also strengthens your immune system by unblocking energy pathways that help to prevent disease in your body.
Pain Relief
Acupressure is a great way to relieve chronic pain. Acupressure applies force to points that control that blood and energy circulation of certain parts of the body. If the right pressure is applied to an affected area, blood flow will be increased, which helps to eliminate regular aches and pains.
Emotional Well-being
Acupressure has emotional benefits as well. Acupressure can help to alleviate the emotional stress that results from physical tension. If the body develops a buildup of physical tension, it can lead to a mental and emotional blockage. Acupressure works to relieve emotional stress by clearing up the physical discomfort that leads to mental anxiety.
If you've been experiencing physical or emotional pain, acupressure is an effective form of massage therapy. The benefits of acupressure extend beyond the physical; the treatment works to unblock energy pathways in the body to promote mental health as well. If you're looking for help with physical, mental or emotional pain, contact us at SHANTI WELL-BEING INC and our trained massage therapy experts will provide the relief you seek.

Well..I had to choose 1 of the games to earn a 2 hour credit to complete my Diploma..If I didn't join any..I can't graduate from TARC..SHIT.!!!
Let's choose together in here,k..
Netball..Nah~~ For girls..Swimming..Nah~~ Not with my skinny body..The swimming pool just located beside the clubhouse (a cafeteria..lots of pretty chics from Business..Accounting..and Mass Comm eat there)..
Volleyball..My fren said..quite hard with assignments and tests..So..Never mind..Dancing..Full of pretty girls in that dancing room..
Everytime I passed-by the room..CHIO LA.!! Those girls ROCKS.!!
But..need to perform when there's an event..something like TARC Carnival..Convocation..and other big events..
So..again..never mind bout it..although got lotsa girls..girls..and girls..hahahaha..
Then..there's Basketball..Althought I'm quite good in 3-point shot =P …But..I really sucks in every other positions..and dribbling..all sucks..except for my 3-point shot..hehehe..
So..just left Football..Although I'm not so good in it..but..better than any other games I mentioned above..
And my coursemate Ben, wants to join Football..okla..had to accompany him..

We are afraid if there're not much people join on Thursday morning..We wait at the TARC field..well..just the 2 of us..WHAT DE HECK..?!?!?!!?
Until the time..8.30am..At last..A guy came out from no where..so..there're just 3 of us waiting for the coach to come..
There are a group of students from DQS (Quantity Survey) doing their project at the field..So..we get to look on chics while waiting for the coach..
About 8.45am..the coach showed up..He called us..wanted to talk something to us..
Here he goes.."Alright..We just have 4 students for today's activity..so..we can't continue our activity..I had to change u guys to other games..izzit ok.??"

Machu Picchu is a big deal. The feature piece of Inca architecture, it was designed with strong connections to nature. We will talk about this in our next post, but one major point we picked up is that the Inca's beliefs strongly influenced not only the design of their cities, but the relationships between the cities.
The ruins of Llactapata provide a classic example of this. Situated on an opposing ridge, Llactapata has been designed to have structures that align with both the solstice line and key buildings in Machu Pichu.
The reasons behind the alignment with the solstice line are speculation, but the solstice would likely have been a major event for people that worshiped the sun. At this time of year the sun is closest to the earth and the Incas probably staged major rituals in their sun temples and around their intihuatana stones.
Several clues suggest that this is the case. In Llactapata a stone corridor has been built in alignment with the solstice line. Mark Adams notes that when the sun rises during the solstice it's light runs straight down the corridor. In Machu Picchu, Mark was the first to establish that during the solstice light shone directly through a window in a major building, the Torreon (also known as the Room with Three Windows and other variations), and is thought to have lit up a golden statue of Pachacutec inside.
The last clue is the placement of the intihuatana stone near the hydroelectric train station. This can be found about 10-15 minutes walk uphill in the direction of Machu Picchu. The word intihuatana literally translates in Quechua as 'hitching post for the sun'. It is thought that the Incas wished to stall the suns passage, possibly to ensure a good harvest. Such stones are present in Pisac and Machu Picchu, however there were many more before the Spanish destroyed them.
Armed with this knowledge we decided to try a different way of getting to Machu Picchu. We had already been put off by the cost of the traditional hike and there was also the issue of not knowing when we would be passing through Peru (our haste to get to Brazil in time for Lollapalooza had put us off booking events too far in advance). So, with the help of the kind folk at the South American Explorer's Club and the handy Trail Blazing Guide (which contains a map of Llactapata), we decided to go the back route…
This consisted of catching a local bus to Santa Teresa, which lies north west of Machu Picchu. From here it is possible to catch a taxi south to the western side of the ridge where Llactapata is situated. We intended to stay a night in Santa Teresa and then tackle Llactapata in the morning. The plan was to then walk down the eastern side of the ridge to the train station, where we would catch the train to Aguas Calientes (you can also walk along the train line if you can be bothered, but we wanted to squeeze in more beer drinking time).
All this was well and good until we were struck with food poising during our night in Santa Teresa. Terrible timing! We were guttered as we had been looking forward to this for months. Our main worry was missing Machu Picchu, so we hedged our bets and bailed on Llactapata. This, fortunately, was the only compromise we needed to make for this leg of the trip. We still visited the intihuatana stone (which we had to ourselves) and despite feeling somewhat sorry for ourselves, there were no 'incidents' on the train.
We highly recommend this approach to getting to Machu Picchu. The trip on the local bus was very scenic, amazing views. We would however recommend taking a tour to Santa Teresa if the budget affords – the van will travel at a reasonable speed and you won't be packed in like sardines. Our driver was an asshole with a death wish. Several passengers were car sick (literally throwing up in plastic bags on their laps and he refused to stop or slow down) and we had several close calls on the windy mountain roads. The worst stint we've had, and we've had some bad trips.
That aside, the trip is great, as is the section through to Aguas Calientes. You can actually see Machu Picchu from the train and the intihuatana stone, which gave us goose bumps. The landscape is lush with tropical forest and you'll have to resist the temptation to jump into the Urubamba.
Getting to the Intihuatana Stone
We found our books to be a bit vague on the stone's location so perhaps our advice may make it easier. To get there walk about 10 minutes in the direction of Machu Picchu. Keep an eye on your right hand side for an unmarked dirt path that runs up the hill. Follow this path to a little house (ignore the carved rocks), where the path hooks left beside the house. Carry on as the path hooks right again and takes you to another railway line. Head along the tracks towards Machu Picchu and you should see a path to your left. There may be a sign but don't count on it. Head downhill and within seconds you will see the stone.
We found the scrappy remains of 'Caution Do Not Enter' tape around the ruins so it may be that the Government doesn't want people visiting. If you do go please don't climb on the intihuatana stone and do your best to leave it as you found it. It was really interesting and worth a look if you have the time!

JOHOR BARU,. A group of PKR members staged a flash mob in Johor Baru city centre to create awareness among Johoreans working in Singapore to return to vote on May 9.
However, after 20 minutes of members shouting out their slogan "Balik balik, undi balik", they were stopped by the management of Komtar JBCC mall.
Among the PKR members were Bukit Batu assemblyman Jimmy Phua Wee Tse and Johor Baru branch chief Akmal Nasir.
A spokesman from Komtar JBCC said they stopped the flash mob because the management did not allow any political party to stage flash mobs in the area.
Akmal said the group dispersed right after they were told to leave.
They lasted for about 40 minutes but Pua said the public response was positive.
"There were motorists tooting their car horns in support," he added.

How can a dedicated cyclist be a whole week out in the daily count?
Previous post indicating 500th ride was wrong!
Following a day excursion train trip to Oamaru Ride #501 was very short Saturday.
Sunday's ride (Rides #131& #152) saw the local favourite MTB loop armed with a GoPro HD2 camera. Results not yet available.

Wow. This week was soooo fun. I cannot believe a year ago I was in Whitefield ward having a great halloween party. Wow so many memories! It's crazy how time flies. We had our interviews with the mission president this week and I just think President Ulrich is wonderful! I am so grateful that he is my mission president. I have learned a lot from him and his wife.
This week we had tea at the Caffrey's and I mentioned how I played violin and so they pulled out this violin from their closet and let me borrow it! Wow. It has been so great. But, I don't think it's been tuned for a while because... the string broke when we tuned it. haha. But it's okay! They'll get new strings and it'll come back better then before.. :P
Don't you think this pumpkin looks like me? I sure do. IT's great to have! I didn't carve it but Elder Faupula did and it was great to have. We had a fun halloween party with trunk or treat, music, jacket-potatos and loads of family fun! We just had a blast and it was great to feel the wonderful Spirit that comes when members come together. We also had a few nonmembers which was wonderful to welcome to our fun get-to-gether!
This is Aaron. He is such an amazing kid! He's so funny. His family is wonderful as well!
The whole hole digging squadrent. We rock and we totally destroyed this thing at our digging party! haha. It was funnnn!
Other than that things are going well! I love life and I love my mission. What more could I ask for? I am safe and sound. I am so blessed to be here in this beautiful country serving among these wonderful people.

WHAT'S ON: Players put on first of two am-drams in Grantham during November
Fans of amateur dramatics are in for a treat next month with both of Grantham's theatre companies putting on a production at the town's Guildhall Arts Centre.
First up is 'Sand Castles' which is being staged by the St Peter's Hill Players, the town's oldest drama group, on November 9, 10 and 11.
The Pattersons and the Billets have holidayed in their respective beach huts for years.
They have an unwritten 'Law of the Hutters' which they teach to Doug, the 'renter' of the middle hut, and his two 'nieces'?
Meanwhile, ordinary holidaymakers encroach on the hutters' beach space.
Confrontation is inevitable . . . will there ever be calm again?
The play was written Bob Larbey, based on an idea by Trish Larbey. Bob Larbey famously co-wrote 'The Good Life'. His other hits include the TV comedies 'A Fine Romance' and 'As Time Goes By'.
Speaking of 'Sand Castles', he says: "It's about chaos on a British beach, full of strong characters and hopefully a damn good laugh."
Curtain up is 7.30pm with tickets priced at £8.50 and £7.50 for concessions.
Two weeks later is Grantham Dramatic Society's production of the classic Ealing comedy 'The Ladykillers', a version written by Graham Linehan, the originator of 'Father Ted'.
A comedy with a dark side and a delightful cast of characters, it promises to be a brilliant adaptation of the much-loved film.
When five robbers need somewhere to plan their next heist, they pose as musicians to rent a room from suspicious Mrs Wilberforce.
She sees criminals everywhere, but doesn't think to look under her own roof.
With only her ailing parrot for company, Mrs Wilberforce is alone in her lopsided house with five desperate criminals.
What happens next will have you rolling in the aisles!
Again, it is curtain up at 7.30pm, from November 22 till 25, with tickets priced at £10/£8 concessions (£9/£7 Wednesday).
Tickets for both productions are available from the Guildhall Arts Centre, call 01476 406158 or visit www.guildhallartscentre.com
