My garbage disposal is clogged after putting down a handful of frozen turkey. It spins, but will not drain. Where is the clog and how do I unstop it?
By ALICE KLEIN from Glen Allen, VA
Crawl under the sink with a flashlight and look for the 'reset' button. It's usually on the bottom of the disposer.
You might have to take the trap apart and clean it out too.
This was the best technique ever! One thing I did differently was that I plunged the side of the sink that wasn't clogged. The clogged side was so clogged that it had too much pressure to get the plunger to go down. I plunged for maybe 10 minutes and then it was clear.
My Father-In-Law threw a bunch of potato peels in the disposal and stopped it up. Thank you so much for the tips. The hex wrench didn't do anything, but the vinegar, baking soda, hot water and a few plunges did the trick.
Yes, this worked. I ended up using 3/4 box baking soda; 3/4 bottle white vinegar, waited 10 minutes then used 1 kettle of boiling water, had to plunge very little and voila, it's working again. Thank you so much for this great idea. Saved me a ton of money! I had thrown carrot and potato peels down there and I know better than that. Felt really dumb as I knew this was gonna happen and that I was taking a chance. Anyway, thank you so much for this tip!
I had this exact problem today and was able to fix it by following the advice posted here to use baking soda and white vinegar. I used a 1/2 cup of baking soda and a 1/2 cup of white vinegar on both sides of the sink, waited 30 minutes, poured a kettle full of boiling hot water down the disposal side, waited a few minutes, and then plunged the disposal side until the standing water began to drain.
To unclog my sink with two drains (one disposal, disposal side clogged):
Scoop out excess water from clogged drain
Baking soda & vinegar down both drains.
Wait 20 minutes.
Run disposal to stir things up (10-20sec).
Wait a few minutes and unplug grinder.
Fill sink with hot water as high as I could (for water pressure).
Stick hand in unit and find the hole that water goes out.
Mine is about the size of my finger.
Plunged with finger directly in the hole (using a plunger on the clogged side only made it come up the relief. Worked finger back and forth vigorously...lol, sounds dirty, but someone had to do it. And it was dirty).
Potato and carrot skins that were the perpetrators.
Baking soda, vinegar, hot water & using the toilet plunger worked for me this morning. I was very skeptical, but the suggestions here turned out well for me!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This method worked beautifully, the very first time.
I poured a bottle of white vinegar down the disposal drain followed by a half a box of baking soda. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Then I poured boiling water down the drain and let it sit a couple minutes and then started plunging. Took a good 5 minutes of plunging, but it finally whooshed free the clog and the beautiful sound of draining water could be heard.
My wife put carrots and potato peels in the disposal and it is just a plugged up mess. It spins, but will not not drain. Any suggestions before I call the plumber? The disposal sits in the middle of the sink; it's not a divided sink.
By Scott
Try pouring in a 1/2 cup baking soda followed by a cup or two of white vinegar. Run the disposal. If that doesn't loosen try a second cup of baking soda followed by pouring another 2-3 cups of vinegar from the gallon bottle, With the disposal and water running as well. Follow with a pan of boiling water.
Then run cold water from the tap.Hope this works for you. It does at our house. And then run a weekly 1/2 cup baking soda and cup of vinegar down all drains in the house. Always follow with cold water to flush through. GG Vi
This is UNBELIEVABLE!!! 6 potatoes, 12 carrots, thought for sure RotoRooter was in my future. 2 rounds didn't work. Let it sit with vinegar and baking soda while I boiled a FULL kettle of water (took 25 min!).
Like a dummy, I put tangerine skins with seeds into my garbage disposal. I turned it on and the light over my sink died as well as the disposal power. I turned the power off and let the water drain from both sinks. Then I used rubber gloves and cleaned all the mess. I used a flashlight and it looked quite clean.
I turned the power back on, pushed restart button, but the blades did not turn, only humming. Will baking soda, white vinegar and hot water help? I am a woman and do not know what else to do except call a plumber. By the way, I can turn one of the blades manually with my finger, it seems quite loose. Many thanks for any suggestions.
By A B
There should be a reset button on the bottom of the disposal motor.
Look under your sink and see what brand the disposal unit is. Then look up the manual online, if you don't have one. Use the manual to find out where the reset button is located. If you can't find the manual, then just look on the bottom-side of the motor. There should be a small button or switch.
Hope this helps!
Have you got this sorted yet?
Because the light went out over the sink I'm thinking the problem may have become electrical-losing the light over the sink means the disposal and the light are on the same circuit, and something on that circuit is overloading. It may be one of the seeds has worked its way into a spot that is preventing the blades from turning but the motor is trying-which is shorting your wiring to the disposal and the light.
If you haven't already and if it is even possible to do so, unplug the disposal and see if that gets your light back on. If that works, you need to have your disposal gone over by someone who is handy, or factory trained to work on disposals. I don't think you can get a service manual online for free.
It may not be possible to unplug the unit if the disposal is hardwired into the circuit. If that is the case don't turn on the light or the disposal until you have a qualified plumber-electrician (or trust-worthy handy type) fix the disposal. You could be looking at a pretty serious fire hazard otherwise.
Disposal apparently disposed of about 14-16 egg shells. However, the sink then began to fill with water and dirty grit. About a week earlier, I had about 3 ft. of cast iron drainpipe in the basement removed because it was badly cracked and repeatedly filled with pumber's epoxy. The dishwasher drain had been improperly connected into the cast iron pipe years before, so the plumber had to do a new connection into the new plasic drain pipe. I'm not sure whether I had run the disposal between the repairs and when the grit started filling up into the sink. But I had run water into the sink, the primary sink side I usually use. It has now been about 2 days of not letting water go down that sink, so I assume the disposal is empty. What should I do to ensure that dirty grit isn't filling up into my sink through the disposal? I'm worried that perhaps a lot of cast iron pipe fell down into the pipe when that section was removed. I don't have a picture and the water has now gone down. There is only grit on the surface of my sink.
By Beverly
It is not uncommon to get a back up in your sinks when you have a disposal. I have some questions for you - does the disposal sink run water easily now? If so, I think your problem is solved. Is the dirty grit sand or ground up egg shells or something else?
I would seriously doubt that replacing a pipe in the basement would affect your disposal. If it is ground up shells, and these are still there, your trap may be plugged. What I used to do is run water in both sinks. Work the plunger in the disposal sink. If it is the trap, the gunk will rise up in the other sink. Plug that sink with something; another plunger is the best thing. Then plunge vigorously in the disposal sink to dislodge the plug. If this doesn't solve your problem, call your plumber back. Do not use any caustic cleaners in your disposal sink.
I read that vinegar, baking soda, and hot water was used to unclog the disposal. How much should I pour into the disposal?
By Judy
Cleaning a Garbage Disposal
Toss in a handful of baking soda followed by a cup or so of cheap white vinegar. This will foam and fizz. When the fizzing stops, add some more vinegar. Leave it in for about 20 min, then flush with very, very hot water. Easy, homemade and cheap, also non-toxic.
My garbage disposal runs and grinds up the food but the food just stays in the bottom. Is something clogged and if so, how do I unclog it?
By Marianne from Phila, PA
Perhaps you are not running enough water while the garbage disposal is on? Perhaps you put some items in the disposal that are not supposed to go in there, like banana peels? That is all I can think of.
Paint poured down my disposal. Will baking soda and vinegar clear it?
By Russ J. from Ft. Collins, CO
Certain food items such as potato and carrot peelings can cause a clog in the plumbing attached to your disposal. This is a page about clearing potato peelings from a garbage disposal.
When your garbage disposal won't drain it is typically the sink plumbing that is the culprit. You need to clear the plug. This is a page about garbage disposal won't drain.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
My garbage disposer drain won't drain. The disposer motor comes on and spins the water around and I see a flow of water coming out from the left side of the drain under the drain guard. All I did prior to this mess was put a bunch of old cabbage down the disposer. Help.
By Lin
The problem is probably the pipe under the garbage disposal being plugged. Try putting some drain cleaner in the left drain (which leads to a common pipe) to see if that will help. (08/21/2010)

Run a little water into the sink and use your bathroom plunger. Always works for me. (08/24/2010)
By Noella
I have been without the use of my kitchen sink for days because of a garbage disposal clog. I even tried a plumber to snake the drain. I saw this blog with recommendation of baking soda and vinegar. I had to do it twice. The second time I went for broke and used 1 cup of each. I poured hot water down drain and then plunged until my hands hurt. I have my disposal and sink back Thank you so much! It really works. (11/09/2010)
By Georgia
My garbage disposal will not drain. I tried the vinegar/baking soda/boiling water thing, as well as the plunger. The funky water retires to the top of the disposal/bottom of the sink level. When the disposal is turned on the water level sucks down an inch or so swirls around. When turned off it comes erupting up a few inches, then fills the sink about an inch or so, then slowly drains back to starting position.
By Stan from Kansas City, KS
Use 1/3 cup of white vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda and let sit. Use plunger. If it doesn't work, repeat. You don't have to turn on the disposal because it automatically will go down. We had to do it twice before it went down and you have to plunge it a lot. (07/13/2010)
By Jo
Your trouble is in the trap below the water level.
You will have to scoop out the water, then you can unscrew the elbow from below, having a bucket underneath to catch the little bit of water you can't scoop.
Once that is clean, keep these tips in mind.
Rice, spuds, and other starchy fibrous veggies will swell and you will literally have glue.
Don't use celery, cantaloupe skins, meat, or fats, or bones in it.
Most people just stuff it full, then turn it on, then add the water.
It goes water first, then a little of the substance at a time, then water still on for about 15 seconds to wash it down the drain.
I guarantee that you will find what I have come to affectionately call "food buggers" so wear gloves.
Good luck! (07/13/2010)
If after you clean out the elbow as described in the previous post it still doesn't drain it could be a partial or complete clog in the vent pipe. You may need a snake to fix it. (07/14/2010)

How do I unclog a garbage disposal using apple cider and baking soda?
By Joel from Kansas City
Take the allen wrench that came with the disposal and insert it into the hole at the bottom of the disposal and turn it counterclock wise. If you have lost the allen wrench go to a big box store and buy one. The size of the wrench is a standard size. The people in the plumbing dept should be able to help you locate one. Then after using it tape the wrench to the disposal so you know where it is the next time you need to use it. (12/02/2009)
By Deanj
I hope you meant apple cider vinegar, and not just plain apple cider?
To keep the drain lines clean from food fat/grease buildup, occasionally heat up about 1.5 gallons of water, pour into a bucket; then add 1 cup of TSP (trisodium phosphate) and pour into the disposal while it is "on", be careful not to spill this mixture onto the sink surface. It will dull/discolor. but it will definitely clean out the drain line. Years ago, it was used for cleansing car radiators.
Oops, forgot to answer your question. Pour 1/2 cup of baking soda into the drain; then pour 3/4 cup of vinegar (clear one). Let it remain for about 30 minutes, then pour 1-2 qts. of very hot water. This should eliminate the stubborn drain. (12/02/2009)

On the 21st April this year the National Grid announced that for the first time ever no coal had been burnt to produce electricity for an entire 24 hour period in the UK. However, as renewable energy and large nuclear power stations make up more of the UK's energy needs, the UK government and scientists are exploring a new avenue to produce electricity, the small "modular" nuclear reactor, or SMRs.
SMRs are not new, mini reactors have been used in both submarines and warships for many years (USS Nautilus, the world's first nuclear submarine was commissioned in 1954, had an SMR, and no Captain Nemo was not in charge!) and Rolls Royce have been supplying the Royal Navy with SMRs for decades. However, there are now plans to explore using SMRs in the UK's energy 'hotspots' that can tap into the existing National Grid.
SMRs are defined as being able to produce 300 megawatts of electric (MWe), around 10% of that produced by a large conventional nuclear power station and Rolls Royce believes it can produce SMRs at a cost of GBP1.25bn, less than 7% of what Hinkley Point C in Somerset cost. The big advantage of SMRs is their size and the fact they can be entirely factory produced, this means they can be made and placed in a small compact area, and once installed require minimal manual labour. Also, compared to large nuclear power station they only use a small amount of nuclear material, they can therefore be swapped out for newer models once they come to the end of their service life; with only a small amount of radioactive waste. This all looks especially attractive when some industry experts believe the total cost of Hinkley Point C could come in at above GBP80bn once financing costs are included.
What UK PLC is hoping is that it can become a world leader in SMRs, however, this is not a one horse race. There are currently 9 countries involved in developing SMRs (even Argentina is working on one) and there are major concerns over standards. As the World Nuclear Association stated: 'Design certification, construction and operation licence costs are not necessarily less than for large reactors, placing a major burden on developers and proponents'.
However, industry, entrepreneurs, academics and investors seem unfazed. As well as numerous smaller projects, heavy weights like Rolls Royce are forming consortiums, believing as they say on their website: 'UK industry has once in a lifetime opportunity to provide secure, reliable and affordable power for decades to come'. They go on to add that a study entitled 'UK SMR: A National Endeavour' urges Ministers to support the development of British-manufactured power plants, which could create 40,000 skilled jobs, contribute £100bn to the economy and open up a potential £400bn global export market.

All the little details One Room Challenge week five
Hello there! Are you new here? Welcome! This post is for the ORC challenge I'm participating in. Not familiar?
The One Room Challenge is a 6 week event which includes 20 "Challenge Participants" and hundreds of other "Guest Participants" (that's me!). All of us have the goal of transforming our spaces with only six weeks to get it done. A huge thank you to Linda, from Calling it Home, for organizing the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE! And a shout out for the two great media sponsors for this event, Better Homes and Gardens and Home Love Network. They will be picking their favorites to showcase as we all cheer each other on to the finish line. Exciting right?!?!?.
You can follow my Guest Room progress here:
Week one / Week two / Week three / Week four
And on to week five! This week is all about the details.
We finished the closet doors! I'll put a tutorial up later this week and I have to say LOVE how they turned out. A nice update for very little money. Here they are before and ALMOST finished.
We decided on a platform bed for the space as our mattress and box spring combo was freakishly high (and covering too much of the wallpaper). I LOVE the way it looks and it was super easy to assemble.
I also found some nice little accessories and a rug that I will be using to style the room. A minor set back with the lights I ordered (they were hard wired) totally my fault but I'm not sure I can find the plug in version I want and the electrician can't convert the ones I love. Sigh.
The only things left to check off are some cleaning and styling….plus photos! So stayed tuned next week for the final reveal (just in time for some Thanksgiving guests). Boom!
Be sure to check out all the amazing inspiration from my fellow bloggers. It is AMAZING what they are doing in six short weeks!!! Featured Designers and Guest Participants
Until next time,

News Release
|Maryland's Largest Single Rooftop Solar Power Installation Unveiled at Staples Fulfillment Center in Hanover
The environmental savings associated with the system will offset more than 43 million pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) over 20 years, equivalent to removing CO2 produced by more than 4,200 automobiles driving 12,000 miles per year. The zero-emission, silent photovoltaic system will generate approximately 1.2 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year, and 21 million kWh during the initial 20 years of the project. The solar installation was financed, built and maintained under a power purchase agreement (PPA) with SunEdison. Under the PPA, Staples will purchase the electricity produced for the term of the contract.
"The solar power system installed at our Hanover fulfillment center is the latest example of Staples' ongoing commitment to environmental leadership," said Mark Buckley, vice president of environmental affairs for Staples. "Through our relationship with solar services provider SunEdison, we are able to purchase solar energy from our rooftop at a rate below or equal to the cost of electricity from the grid. This reduces our operating costs while freeing up more electricity during peak times for use by local homes and businesses."
"We are proud to be a long time partner of Staples in providing economical solar solutions to meet their energy needs and commitment to the environment," said Carlos Domenech, President of SunEdison. "SunEdison continues to be an industry leader by combining cutting edge technologies with our unique project finance capabilities to enable large-scale development of solar."
"EPA applauds Staples for initiating this solar energy project to power its Hanover facility," said Shawn M. Garvin, administrator for the EPA's mid-Atlantic region. "I hope this work inspires other companies to use energy in a manner that does not contribute to global climate change. Staples is demonstrating the kind of leadership that is needed to reduce greenhouse gases and move our nation into a clean energy future."

The girls have been playing birthday party for a while now. The birthday party season starts in November and seems to taper off in late Feb. We have had birthday parties for the last 3 weekends and we have enjoyed them all. So Tuesday morning while we were getting ready for MDO Abby was "making" a cake with her Leap Frog ABC's. She told me that she was making a cake for her birthday party and that she was going to ice it. Then she told me she was going to get balloons, make goody bags, make birthday hats and get a present.
Abby & Allie are talking so much now. It is so funny to hear then talking to each other and to other people. I can hardly keep the quite any more.

Today, the U.S. White House is holding a conference involving certain selected individuals to discuss how to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It is being led by President's Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt, and David Friedman. Greenblatt blamed Hamas for most of the crisis and said yesterday, "We are beholden to a brighter future for the Palestinians of Gaza."
These three men have also been crafting a peace plan to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be released soon. Sunday, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "There is no concrete U.S. peace plan on the table." Whatever plan Kushner et. al. puts forward, it will not call for a two-state solution. So, I think it will be dead on arrival. This perennial conflict can only be solved with a two-state solution. It's just that I think the participants have always had the wrong two-state solution. (See my book, Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia.)Plus, the Palestinian Authority (PA) will boycott this Gaza conference. After President Trump announced recently the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the PA said the U.S. was no longer a peace broker representing them. I think the president made a poor decision in doing that. The PA is now asking the European Union to get more involved in trying to solve this conflict. I think that may be their best way to go.

Apparently there's one thing that National Rifle Association spokeswoman Dana Loesch hates almost as much as sensible gun laws: Neil Young's singing voice.
Loesch has tweeted at least 15 negative comments about the rock legend over the past decade, according to the Daily Beast, including referring to his voice as "a dying cow fart" at least three times.
Young was apparently unaware that he's been targeted by Loesch until the Daily Beast called it to his attention.
He was amused. Very amused.
"The spokesperson? That woman? She doesn't like me?" he asked. "Well, she's one of the gang over there. Although Trump likes my music. He'd come to all my shows."
After a pause, he said, "Well, I'm glad I got under her skin."
As for the comparison that Young's singing voice sounds like bovine flatulence, he wondered, "Why doesn't she just shoot me?"
He then thought better of his glib response.
"You know, I hate to say that, because I have kids and I really don't want anybody to shoot me. I've still got to bring up my kids, so don't take that seriously!"
Although Loesch has gone as far to suggest that if she ever won the Powerball, she would pay Young, Nickelback and Bush to stop playing, the Canadian-born Young says she's entitled to her opinion.
"That's the way it goes! That's what happens," he said. "You're out there in the world and people can say whatever they want. It's freedom. I appreciate that, and I think she should exercise it as much as she can."

Or the hypocrisy of the entrenched
I love George Takei's dry wit and intelligence as much as anybody. But this level of hypocrisy serves nobody.
This reminds me that he's a true artist because as F. Scott Fitzgerald so famously said.
An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional.
At 4pm (GMT) he's ridiculing Trump supporters for the idea the election process might be rigged. At this time Hillary Clinton was ahead and looking strong.
Two hours later it's looking very bad for Hillary Clinton as she's lost what amounts to the "poor vote" and minorities have switched from Democrat to Republican. Don't believe me, check out the figures. So now George tweets;
Basically he's saying it's only rigged because his chosen candidate started to lose.
So when Trump supporters were calling for re-counts and audits they were ridiculed and called insane conspiracy theorists. But now Hillary Clinton lost, it is fair game to cry foul.
This seems ironic given this video about the organisation known to have been hired by the DNC (evidence from Wikileaks) where Scott Foval, the National Field Director for Americans United for Change, talked about how they intend to commit mass voter fraud FOR HILLARY CLINTON.
It all reminds me of how the EU Remain campaign stated that if the results were reversed, that is to say 52% for Remain, that would be a valid referendum. But as they lost, it's not. How on earth do you justify that mentality without self awareness?
Neither group appears to be able to recognise the legitimacy of the opinion of other people. For them, they are 100% correct and anybody who points-out otherwise are idiots, liars or much worse.
It's this kind of blinkered "Us and Them" rhetoric that the Democrats correctly drew attention towards in George Bush's term in office. But this kind of monochromatic viewpoint seems to be the norm now and if anything, seems more valid in the views of people who label themselves as moderate and liberal.
What neither group appears to realise, which should be apparent to anybody living in the real world, is that the world is not black and white at all. It is in fact grey and in some cases, 50 Shades of it.
So you can see why independents like Jill Stein might want to have her profile raised… and perhaps her votes with it.

Turbochargers are simple one-moving-part machines that provide immense increases in piston-powered aircraft performance and capability. Pressurization, pressurized heated air, and sea level horsepower at altitude are efficiently available for turbocharged piston engine aircraft.
Turbochargers will usually last through the life of the engine with good maintenance such as: proper leaning, ample run-down time for bearing and lubricant cool-down, timely engine oil and filter changes.
Since maintenance and operational practices are not always known qualities, the following is recommended on an annual basis to help keep the turbo bearings and seals clean.
Following these steps may save your turbo from premature replacement.

- Third Party, Fire & Theft only provides cover if your vehicle is stolen or damaged by fire, as well as third party property damage. It does not cover your vehicle under other circumstances such as accidents.
- Third Party Property Damage covers damage that you cause to someone else's vehicle or property. Damage to your vehicle is not covered at all.
- Third Party Injury Insurance is compulsory in Australia. This cover may be included in your registration or you may need to take out a separate policy (Green Slip or CTP) and it only covers injury from a motor vehicle accident.
Home & Contents Insurance
Covering your home and contents may seem simple, however there are different types of cover and additionally, many people under-insure, leaving themselves significantly out of pocket during what can be a very stressful time. Often people who are renting don't insure at all which means if anything happens to the property they are living in they won't be able to recover the cost of their contents.
- Accidental Damage is a more comprehensive insurance option and also has higher policy limits and allowances. Accidental Damage covers accidental loss or damage to your property.
- Defined or Insured Events lists the specific events that you are covered for. If an event is not mentioned, you're not covered. Events may include fire, theft, storm, lightning, explosion, accidental breakage of glass, malicious damage, earthquake or impact
- Public Liability cover for you and your family living at the premises insured includes legal costs and compensation you become legally liable to pay as a result of an incident where you are found negligent and caused personal injury or damage to property of a third party
- Specified Valuables & Contents is often required for specific, valuable items such as jewelry, artwork
Landlords Insurance
Landlord's Insurance is important regardless of what type of residential investment property you own. Your policy can include cover for:
- Your building
- Landlord's contents / fixtures & fittings
- Liability where you are found legally liable for loss or damage to someone else's property, death or injury
- Loss of rent due to an insured event (e.g. fire, storm etc.) resulting in the property being uninhabitable
- Rent default & theft by tenants
- Strata title mortgagee protection in case the body corporate has not sufficiently insured the building
Residential Strata Insurance

- Buildings
- Common area contents

'Inheritance' smacks of a classic
It has neither the epic scope, the sumptuous cinematography, nor the star-studded cast. It's not even a Mafia movie.
But the Danish film "The Inheritance" has palpable thematic resonance with "The Godfather." In Per Fly's film, there is a young man, Christoffer, who reluctantly takes over the family business (here a steel mill, rather than a crime syndicate) from his iconic father. Like Michael Corleone, Christoffer discovers in himself a ruthlessness and drive that eventually divides the very thing he was trying to save " his family.
Some scenes pay particular homage to Coppola's masterpiece: Christoffer's sister pleading to have her treasonous husband forgiven; the gates to the family compound shutting out those not in good graces.
"The Inheritance," which opens tonight and plays again Wednesday (showtime is 7:30 p.m.) at the Wheeler Opera House, updates the ideas of moral corruption, family decline and destiny, and gives them a cold Scandinavian twist that separates it from previous works. But, if you're going to be compared to something, you could do a lot worse than "The Godfather."

Trade, Investment and Innovation
Trade, Investment and Innovation are powerful engines for growth and sustainable development. The expansion of trade across the Asia-Pacific in recent years has been a key driver of economic dynamism and rising prosperity. Trade and investment, for example through participation in global networks of production, have created employment, raised incomes and helped spread technology, knowledge and ideas throughout the region. But not all individuals and communities have been able to benefit from the growth that comes from engagement in international markets. Technology and innovation holds great promise to reduce inequality and support sustainable development. Countries in Asia and the Pacific are supported by ESCAP secretariat in their efforts to overcome challenges preventing them to better utilize trade, investment, technology and innovation to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals to all.

Home > Why eNZed Paramedical > The eNZed Difference
In New Zealand, employers consider it more professional for therapists to choose one agency, rather than signing up with several. eNZed was the first agency for therapists in New Zealand, and we constantly get told that we continue to set the standard for the industry.
Employers tell us that our candidates are better informed and prepared at interview and that they arrive to start work ready and well orientated. Therapists' testimonials support this.
"Christine have been extremely helpful along every step of the way. They are both dedicated to make it as easy as possible for you, which, for me was very pertinent as I was travelling alone. Their in-depth knowledge of the New Zealand health care system and factors contributing towards working in New Zealand has been tremendous. I would recommend them to any health care professional coming to New Zealand. If you want a reliable and knowledgeable source, choose eNZed Paramedical."

Meet the poster family for "HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2014!" Might have to add an honorable mention of "Best Dad Award" -- it clearly goes to Daddy Charles who got the dance party started with his three ladies in hot pink. This time of year always feels like the happiest of reunions for me. I'm really blessed that many of our clients share their family pictures tradition with me and if your thinking that the Wadlow Family looks familiar -- well then I owe you a BIG thank you because you have obviously been reading the blog for quite some time. Here's a quick link to the Wadlow's sessions over the years -- crazy to think we have shared so many of life's milestones...maternity, newborn, birthdays and many Christmas portrait sessions together! On a side note -- I know a lot of you Mom's are looking for wardrobe inspiration for planning your own family pictures for the holidays so go ahead and take a page from Mom Michelle's styling book -- pick three colors and then get creative mixing patterns, textures & accessories. Also...embrace a trend or two -- a big one we've seen this season for families is choosing unique colors beyond the Merry Christmas red & green :-)
Last but not least, if you are looking for our Annual Holiday Special K.I.S.S Event (Studio Session + Holiday Cards) for November here's your link to the details.

Your music takes me so deep. Deep within into the heart of hearts. Close to where what identify as myself ends and the universe begin.
Your music was vastly inspiring. I felt a deep inner smile spread across my mind as I felt the universal connection.
This music is alive, inspiring, creative and uplifting.
Dr. Sam Saba. Holistic doctor
Nadimi connects passion, beauty and spirit in his composition. Very powerful, very passionate at the same time it's inspirational and uplifting. It's just music of extreme beauty.
Your music is a magic carpet that helps me the way to open my heart and embrace the whole world.
I have so been enjoying your CD. I listen to it quite frequently, while painting. It is very soothing, yet uplifting and moving.
As I was listening to the music, I saw toucan birds, dolphins and more it seemed like I was swimming in a waterfall. I looked up and saw a rainbow I saw angels flying in the air I saw a mountain and begin to climb to the top; it fills as if I can fly into the sky. I saw a girl running into the rainforest and we played together and we were friends forever.
I have truly being blessed. The music is so peaceful until I play it everyday when I am in the prayer with God. It soothes my spirit and gets me in the place where I need to be when I am in the presence of god.

New show on the Travel channel that I hadn't heard about prior to catching it today. They showed it this afternoon at 2pm and it airs again on October 30th at noon. Not sure why they buried it like that. (no pun intended)
Essentially, it covers Halloween at a few parks. Shows some of the scary stuff and then focuses on a coaster before moving on. Pretty standard stuff packaged slightly differently. Might be worth setting the DVR if you're into such things.
If we get to watch the haunt actors get punched in the nuts, I'll definitely set the DVR for that.
Any idea what parks were featured?
Silverwood, Morey's, Kennywood, Lake Compounce, Coney Island, Busch Gardens Tampa, Worlds Of Fun
Might have been more, that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

CBB fans convinced Ann Widdecombe's going in the house as she's spotted at hotel in Elstree
The former Conservative politician, 70, has previously appeared on Strictly Come Dancing and Sugar Free Farm
CBB fans are convinced Ann Widdecombe will be entering the house after the former MP was seen at an Elstree hotel.
The 70-year-old's potential inclusion in the house has excited fans, who think she could stir up plenty of drama with her strong opinions.
The ex-Tory politician is a strong advocate of Brexit, has criticised modern day feminists and isn't a fan of reality stars.
Taking to Twitter, fans wrote: "Anne Widdecombe has apparently been spotted at the "hotel" could she be entering the house tomorrow? #CBB.
"Spotted Anne Widdecombe. Could she be on #CBB @bbuk tomorrow?!
"Apparently Ann Widdecombe was spotted at the hotel all the HMs stay in 😂😂😂.
"If Anne Widdecombe goes into #CBB I will be howling!😂😂
"Anne Widdecombe has so much potential to be brilliant 😂 #CBB."
So far, Rachel Johnson is the only celebrity to have been confirmed by the show.
For the first time, this year's offering will launch with an all-female line-up to mark 100 years since women were given the right to vote.
Other names reported to be taking part are transgender broadcaster India Willoughby, Tattoo Fixers' Paisley Billings and Gogglebox's Sandra Martin.
Male contestants will be added into the house as the series progresses, with rapper Ginuwine and Love Island's Johnny Mitchell set to make an appearance.
Ann is no stranger to reality TV having competed in Strictly Come Dancing, where she was partnered with Anton Du Beke, and Sugar Free Farm.
She is sure to ruffle some feathers following her comments on the recent Westminster sex scandal in which she questioned the women reporting abuse claims.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain in November, Ann said: "My problem has been with the whole of this chaotic scandal, which has engulfed Westminster.
"There are serious complaints, and those I take very seriously indeed. But most of this has been a lot of nonsense.
"I do not consider a mildly flirtatious remark sexual harassment. And actually, I don't think that the vast majority of the nation do. Everywhere I have gone, people have said 'what is going on?'"
She served as MP for Maidstone for 23 years, from 1987 until 2010.

EG Automotive Center is dedicated to providing customers with quality services. From the moment you enter our Quick Lube service center, we strive to deliver exceptional auto maintenance services. Our goal is to make sure our customers are completely satisfied with their Quick Lube experience. Here is a brief list of services EG Automotive Center can provide:
A fan belt, also known as a drive belt, is a belt connecting your car's engine to the front mounted accessories. The fan belt rotates the water pump and engine fan, which maintains a cool environment for the engine and its components. Sooner or later, your vehicle's fan belts will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on EG Automotive Center for all your vehicle's repair needs.
You not only have to get the belts replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the belts replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit EG Automotive Center today. The mechanics at EG Automotive Center will thoroughly inspect your car's belts; replace all worn belts; and adjust the installed belts.
Brake System Flush
Brake fluid is hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture). The absorbed moisture lowers the fluid's boiling point. It also corrodes the lines and cylinders. With the lowered boiling point, the brake fluid could boil during braking which makes you lose braking ability. Although this is an extreme scenario, it does happen in heavy braking. To reduce the effects of the absorbed moisture, auto manufacturers recommend that you have a brake flush done periodically. A brake system flush involves the replacement of used and contaminated fluid with fresh fluid. With EG Automotive Center's quick lube services, you will have a brake system flush performed by brake experts. Call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today.
Coolant System Flush
A car's air conditioning system contains a coolant which transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the a/c coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center in Dayton, NJ 08810 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs. Ensure maximum performance from your vehicle's heating and cooling systems today.
Differential Flush
The differential is a car part that compensates for the difference in travel distance between the inner wheels and outer wheels when the vehicle is turning. Due to the differential's position in most non-four-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles (located at the rear and under the car), it does not get any of the star treatment the engine gets. The one thing that every car owner needs to know is that failure of the differential will mean failure of the car. To save the differential from failure, you need to have differential fluid changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Changing the oil on the differential is as important as changing the car's engine oil. Although checking and changing differential oil is pretty easy, you need to visit an auto shop to get a comprehensive differential flush. For differential flush services, visit or call EG Automotive Center in Dayton, NJ 08810 today.
Fuel Injection Cleaning
A fuel injector is an electronically controlled valve that supplies the engine with pressurized fuel. When driving, the oxygen sensors tell the engine if it is getting too much air, which signals the fuel injectors to give the engine spurts of pressurized fuel. Since fuel injectors are small pieces of equipment (and the part that squirts the fuel is even smaller), any little piece of dirt can clog it. A clogged fuel injector will hurt your vehicle's performance. To avoid misfires, poor emission rating, poor performance, and rough idle have the car's fuel injectors cleaned regularly. For professional fuel injection cleaning services, call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today.
Headlight and Bulb Replacement
To maintain maximum visibility (and keep you safe), you should always make sure that your vehicle's headlight bulbs are in good working condition. Although replacing faulty headlight bulbs is a simple and quick process (takes very little time), you need to rely on an experienced auto mechanic to handle your headlight and bulb replacement. This way, you will have quality bulbs installed by experts. Remember, it is a critical part of your car's maintenance and your safety. For all your headlight and bulb replacement needs, call or visit EG Automotive Center today.
Hoses transfer coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine's cooling system (including the radiator). Sooner or later, your vehicle's hoses will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on EG Automotive Center for all your vehicle's repair needs.
You not only have to get the hoses replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the hoses replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit EG Automotive Center today. The mechanics at EG Automotive Center will thoroughly inspect your car's hoses; replace all worn hoses; and adjust the installed hoses.
Motor Oil Basics
Do you know the oil basics? Did you know that even some auto mechanics do not know the oil basics? In order for your car's engine to do its job properly, it is vital to have clean, fresh oil. The oil used in your car has two primary ingredients: base oil and additives. The base oil allows the motor oil to perform its vital function - lubricating the engine's moving parts to protect them against wear and tear caused by friction. The additives provide additional engine protection by helping to prevent the oil from deteriorating under the engine's extreme temperature conditions. At EG Automotive Center, we are motor oil experts - we will help you with motor oil basics. Call us at 732-329-6300 or visit our auto repair shop in Dayton, NJ 08810 today.
Oil Changes
Did you know that regularly changing the oil in your vehicle is one of the simplest, most effective and inexpensive ways to help protect its engine life? Oil lessens wear, reduces friction, and forms a seal between the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls. The oil also helps cool engine parts and even dampens the shock and noise of moving parts. For all your oil change needs, call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today. We have years of experience helping drivers with oil changes and other auto maintenance needs.
PCV Valve Change
The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is a very important part of some cars' emissions control systems. This valve, which is usually plugged into a rubber grommet in the valve cover, is a one-way passage for gases to escape from the engine's crankcase. With time, the PCV valve becomes clogged with sludge from the contaminants in the exhaust gases. If your car has a PCV valve, make sure it is regularly cleaned and (if necessary) replaced. To have your car's PCV valve changed by experts, call or visit EG Automotive Center in Dayton, NJ 08810 today.
Power Steering Flush
Power steering fluid is the hydraulic fluid that transmits the power in a steering wheel. Servicing the power steering involves flushing out the old power steering fluid and adding fresh fluid. A power steering flush will definitely help prolong the life of the power steering components. Failure to have periodic power steering flushes results in important parts like the power steering pump, the seals, power steering rack, and the O-rings wearing out. To have a comprehensive power steering flush, call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today.
Radiator Flush
A radiator is the part of your vehicle that keeps the engine cool and protects it from excessive heating. To be cool, the radiator needs to remain clean - always. With time, sludge, rust and other solid deposits build up inside your car's radiator. These make the cooling system become clogged and less effective. This in effect hurts your vehicle's performance. A regular radiator flush is enough to keep the system in shape. For this reason, make radiator flushing a part of your routine car maintenance schedule. For all your radiator flush needs, call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today.
Transmission Flush
Although most manufacturers recommend a transmission flush every 30,000 miles or every two years, some symptoms may indicate that you need a transmission flush sooner. Some of the symptoms that indicate that your car needs a transmission flush sooner are: transmission grinding or strange noises, problems shifting gears, slipping gears, surging of the car, and delay in vehicle movement. Flushing the used fluid from the transmission washes away tiny particles of dirt, clutch material, and metal shavings. For all your transmission flush needs, call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today - we are transmission experts.
Transmission Flush & Filter
Transmission flush and filter change is a comprehensive transmission maintenance service that involves the replacement of old, degraded transmission fluid and filter with new. The service is meant to prolong the life of your transmission. At EG Automotive Center, we offer the most comprehensive transmission flush and filter service. We will exchange your old transmission oil, remove dirt, replace the filter, clean the screen, and replace used pans. Give us a call at 732-329-6300 or visit our auto shop in Dayton, NJ 08810.
Transmission Service
Just like replacing your engine oil, transmission service is part of your routine vehicle maintenance. The service involves removing and examining the pan, cleaning or replacing the screen or filter, cleaning the pan, reinstalling the pan (with a new pan gasket), replacing the old oil with new, and adding an additive package. Adding new fluid restores the holding power between the clutches. This service helps improve lubrication and helps maximize the life of the transmission. For all your transmission repair needs, visit or call EG Automotive Center in Dayton, NJ 08810 today. We offer transmission services, reseal services, and clutch services.
Truck Service
To keep your truck maintained and problem free, call or visit EG Automotive Center today. We are here to keep you and your truck on the road.
We Service Most Trucks and Cars
At EG Automotive Center we service most cars and trucks. Call us at 732-329-6300 or visit our auto shop in Dayton, NJ 08810. Count on EG Automotive Center for all your maintenance needs.
Wiper Blade Replacement
Visibility is very important to safe driving. Having properly functioning wipers can help keep you safer on the road. If your car's wipers are not wiping well or are leaving lines, have them replaced immediately. To have wiper blades fitted on your vehicle, call 732-329-6300 or visit EG Automotive Center today.

Excellent job on the break system.
EG Automotive is a great place for car service. Joe is always friendly, honest, and professional. Stopped in today to have Joe inspect the brakes on my daughter's car before returning to school. The inspection was done in an hour and I was told that all was fine and that there was no charge for the evaluation. Amazing service. I would highly recommend EG for quality honest service. Mike Palumbo
Great customer service.. honest, fair and quick service!
Goodbye Tire Barn! Hello EG!
Great job, reasonable priced, friendly.
Good owners and techs. Oil change once, then issue with AC, and they diagnosed a major repair, but didn't charge as they knew the car wasn't worth the money.
Quality service! A friendly family environment and a clean waiting area! Great people there. Stop by and ask for Pete or Joe!
The experience I had here was amazing! I am not from the area and while driving to a conference my tire pressure light came on. I still had about 50 more miles and was concerned I was getting a flat or had a leak and didn't have a tire pressure gauge with me. I just so happened to be passing EG Automotive so I pulled in hoping they could help. They were friendly and extremely helpful. They immediately took my car back and tried to troubleshoot the issue. I waited at most, 10 minutes, if that. They checked my tires for a leak and filled them with air. I wish I lived closer so I could continue to give them my business!
Excellent service. Staff is very friendly and accommodating, will be back!
Peter and his son are great. Very accommodating and know the value of customer service. The only place I'll go for automotive needs.
Great services and a very knowledgeable staff! The staff as well as the owner are very knowledgeable in their work. Service is fast and efficient, never tried to guide you in wrong direction, fully trustworthy and always give you proper guidance and valid reason for the service required immediately on your car or wait till next appointment. All in all the one and only stop for your car services. I will recommend them highly!

Went in thinking I had a major engine problem that would cost me major $$. Turns out it was a minor fix that cost under $100. These guys could've beat me over the head because I told them I was expecting the worst, but they were honest and fixed my vehicle fast. I will never go anywhere else for my car's repairs or maintenance.
I will definitely be going back here again. They were very efficient and pleasant. Extremely satisfied!

Friendly, professional, and courteous. The price of my repairs was very fair. I couldn't be happier with the service. Joey & Pete know how to treat a customer; with respect!
Today I went to EG Automotive, my car was making a noise and turns out that my brakes were metal to metal. Joe and Steve took excellent care of me. I felt very comfortable and absolutely loved the service.
We stopped here after my car broke down on NYE on a long trip. The owner spent 20 minutes looking at my car and gave me great advice, filled my transmission with a lot of fluid and didn't charge us anything! Very knowledgeable and great customer service.
Quality service. Great prices!
When driving from Philly back home to CT, alternator went. They were able to fit me in and fix it and get me back on the road in a timely fashion. Friendly, fast service. Free TV to watch while you wait.
I showed up this past Saturday (Memorial Day Weekend) with a nail in one of my rear tires. Steve repaired the tire quickly and I was on my way. I've never been to EG but have lived in the area for a long time. I would definitely recommend this shop to friends and family.
Very happy with Steve and his tech crew, honest hard working guys, came in with engine light on, and he took care of it right the way.
Nice friendly and very effiently taken care of. Really busy business in the area.
Been using this place for a few months now. So far it's been a pleasure, great work and great prices, no games. They've done brakes, alignments, tires, and oil change for me on 2 cars. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for an honest repair shop.
Finally found a local automotive center that is professional, responsive and skilled. We've been blessed to find a family business who is fair priced and always accommodating. We have 2 older cars and, as seniors, truly appreciate their level of competence and customer service.
Wonderful local business, knowledgeable, courteous and HONEST, really honest and their prices are fair, never inflated. I trust them completely, a very rare commodity in this day and age, especially in this type of business.
Great guys. Our car over heated as we were traveling with two toddlers - it was Good Friday and EG was open. They checked out the car, determined we could make it to our destination, gave us a couple gallons of water (just in case it over heated again) and didn't charge us. Thank you!!
I've taken my car here for years, and the guys at EG never let me down, repairs and routine maintenance are always done promptly and well. Unlike other car repair places, they never overcharge or make up fake things that need to be done RIGHT AWAY for the tune of several thousand dollars or else my car is liable to spontaneously combust. The EG guys are courteous and helpful. I hope EG never goes out of business!
Simply excellent.
Great people.
Great service! I would highly recommend! Better than those chain places.
Very professional shop, work was done on time, at a fair price and to my absolute satisfaction. Recommend them.
EG Auto is an AWESOME shop!! Friendly staff and very helpful..I love that they fully explain everything out to you and there are no surprises!!! Thanks EG Auto for all your help, my honda can count on you!
Won't go anywhere else, this is the best service I've gotten from all the auto shops I've been to!
I've been coming to EG Automotive Center since 2014. Besides being friendly and professional, I feel like I can trust them. I've been told by them before "You could get that done, but you don't need to. Don't waste your money". That made me trust them. I appreciate their honesty, even if it prevents them from adding to their cost.
Friendly, professional, and courteous. The price of my repairs was very fair. I couldn't be happier with the service. Joey & Pete know how to treat a customer; with respect!
I've been coming to EG since the 1990s. They are the best. I recommend them to all my friends. Steve and Pete are so friendly and are always there when I need help with my car. Love those guys.
Thanks for checking out my tires when I got my oil change. I didn't know how bad the tires were. You gave me a great price for tires and now my wife and kids can drive safely.
Went there for an oil change and wheel alignment, they were absolutely honest and friendly and reasonably priced! I would send my friends and family to this place!

Beyoncé gave fans a glimpse into her private family life on Thursday by posting a rare photo of her twins, Rumi Carter and Sir Carter.
The picture, shared via Beyonce.com, showed the 1-year-old babies smiling ear to ear as they sat on their mother's lap. Queen B also looked relaxed as she lounged on the deck of a yacht—taking a much-needed break from the European leg of her OTR II Tour with Jay-Z.
The proud parents also posted another photo of Jay-Z holding little Rumi's hand. The tiny tot looked adorable as she overlooked the water in a white and yellow ruffled ensemble.

CIMSPA will have a difficult job in getting REPs members to move over. I have a lot of contact with instructors who are only members because their employers insists they must be on the register. Others have either never joined or left. The main reason for leaving is they felt they did not get anything in return.

Chapter 291 The Final Strike.
Chapter 291 – The Final Strike
In that moment, Jiang Baoyun's sword energy had pierced through Lin Ming's azure true essence, splitting atop his spearpoint. There was a black stream of light that sunk into the Heavy Profound Soft Spear, piercing Lin Ming's body!
Lin Ming wobbled, a strange feeling directly rushing into his spiritual sea. He could hear the clear whistling of a sword flying past his ear. This clear sound seemed very pleasant, but it was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Soul attack?
Lin Ming instantly reacted, but that sword sound that was in his ears had already flown into Lin Ming's spiritual sea!
Within Lin Ming's spiritual sea, a mighty black sword appeared, cutting down!
The sea boiled, massive waves of water rolling around; a Purple Flood Dragon shot up into the sky, crashing into that great black sword! Both forces struck each other, and thunder exploded. The black sword energy radiated outwards, causing monstrous surges within the spiritual sea.
Lin Ming shook, his face paling to the extreme. Was this great black sword the so called Sword Spirit body? Lin Ming had only heard of this before. Sword Spirit. So this so called Sword Spirit was actually a sword-shaped soul. Those who had an inborn Sword Spirit were extremely rare individuals. They could fuse their own soul into their sword intent. Their perception in all sword arts was astonishing, and they could cultivate the sword path with half the effort and twice the result.
Obviously, Jiang Baoyun had fused the sword intent within his soul into this strike, therefore he was able to create a soul attack!
Jiang Baoyun's soul force wasn't powerful, but with the fusion of sword intent, it wasn't something that a normal martial artist could compare with.
"What a strong Sword Spirit!"
Lin Ming's spiritual sea had integrated the Purple Flood Dragon Divine Thunder, his soul defense ability was beyond what anyone could imagine. And yet he could not actually immediately stop the soul attack of this Sword Spirit!
However, this Sword Spirit's indomitability had aroused the Purple Flood Dragon Divine Thunder's own arrogant heart!
The Purple Flood Dragon Divine Thunder burst into a loud roar, its entire body shining with a dazzling purple light. Its heavy claws smashed down on the Sword Spirit, shaking it and causing its radiance to dim.
Jiang Baoyun received his sword and drew back. In that strike a moment ago, he had felt sick to his stomach.
Although Jiang Baoyun was aware that Lin Ming had an incomparably formidable soul defense power, he never thought that it would be to such a ridiculous degree where it had easily broken his soul attack. If his soul wasn't wrapped in the sword intent where its defense was greatly strengthened, then he might have suffered a severe soul wound in that attack.
Jiang Baoyun's soul attack was nullified, and his sword energy attacks didn't work. The endless azure true essence continually protected Lin Ming, and Lin Ming's own bodily defense capabilities were just mind boggling; they were formidable to the point where it made anyone's blood boil with envy.
Jiang Baoyun could only break through Lin Ming's defense in a close range attack, but because he feared the Purple Flood Dragon Divine Thunder, he also couldn't get close.
Even if it was Jiang Baoyun, who was known for and proud of his sword's attack power, he also had a dreadful feeling of being forced into a dead end.
And beyond that, Jiang Baoyun had discovered that even after all this fierce fighting that had occurred so far, Lin Ming hadn't shown any difficulty in sustaining his true essence. This proved that Lin Ming's own endurance far exceeded his own!
If this fight dragged on, Jiang Baoyun wouldn't be defeated, but if it were too long, then his true essence would slowly be whittled down, and his defeat would only be a matter of time.
Realizing this, Jiang Baoyun pointed his sword at Lin Ming and said, "Lin Ming, you are the strongest individual that I have encountered in the younger generation in my 20 years of life. The speed and soul attack which I have been so foolishly proud of have no effect on you. Now, all I have is my final sword. If you can receive it, then I will admit defeat."
Lin Ming had also attained many insights through that soul attack just now. Hearing Jiang Baoyun say this, he responded, "Okay. After this battle, whether I win or lose, I am very willing to continue exchanging pointers with Senior-apprentice Brother Jiang. After this match, I have obtained many benefits."
"Haha, the feeling is mutual!"
Jiang Baoyun's momentum erupted once more. In that moment, it was as if his entire body had become a sword with violent potential, incomparably sharp!
"Sword Shattering Clear Sky!"
This was Jiang Baoyun's strongest move. It used his own fused Sword Spirit and sword intent as the driving force in order to activate the ultimate legacy skill of the Sword Faction. With Jiang Baoyun's current cultivation, he could only display the barest surface of this power. Yet even so, it still had the might of gods and ghosts!
Sword energy cut through the void, and a sharp whistling sword wind howled through the entire mountain valley.
Meeting this final strike of Jiang Baoyun, Lin Ming's vision was steady, and both hands grasped his spear. His heart had already focused into the shaft, and the power of the True Dragon was revolving to its limit.
Behind Lin Ming, the shadow of the True Dragon appeared once again.
With a faint dragon's roar, Lin Ming's spear thrust out!
Vibrating true essence screamed forth, violently smashing into Jiang Baoyun's sword energy. The tiles under their feet were shattered into fragments; with this attack, they were evenly matched!
For Jiang Baoyun to use a sword to meet a spear and simultaneously resist Lin Ming's 10,000 vibrating azure true essence filaments without even being forced back, the power of this Sword Shattering Clear Sky could be imagined!
At this time, another sword began to resonate. The Sword Spirit Avatar that Jiang Baoyun had created before had gripped onto its blue sword, cutting down at Lin Ming!
The audience cried out in alarm. Qin Ziya, Qin Xingxuan, and everyone else felt their hearts stop. This Sword Shattering Clear Sky was already unstoppable, but there was also the Sword Spirit Avatar. This was a double attack!
Lin Ming's pupils contracted, and true essence quickened within the Heretical God Seed. The weapon that he hid within his body, the coiling dragon steel needle, roared forth!
The coiling dragon steel needle struck above the sword light, the power of thunder exploded forth!
Ka ka ka!
It was like a glorious purple sun had dawned upon the martial stage. The Sword Spirit Avatar was immediately incinerated into nothingness, and the Blue Peak sword lost its consciousness, crashing down and slicing into the ground.
At the same time, the coiling dragon steel needle rushed forwards. Although its power was greatly reduced, it howled as it flew towards Jiang Baoyun!
The true essence protecting Jiang Baoyun's body was torn apart, his entire body paralyzed. He was sent flying backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
Jiang Baoyun slammed against the protective light curtain and fell onto the floor. Because the light curtain array formation had been reinforced, it was now able to protect against an early Xiantian master's all-out attack. This was why no matter how intense Jiang Baoyun and Lin Ming's fight was, it still wasn't able to shatter the array formation like before.
The entire audience was deathly silent. In truth, Jiang Baoyun's defeat was not beyond anyone's expectations. It was more accurate to say that no one actually knew who would win and who would lose. This could be seen from the gambling houses odds before the match.
However, as the audience truly saw Jiang Baoyun lying flat on the martial stage, severely wounded, they all felt as if they were living in some fantastical dream.
To them, Jiang Baoyun was a myth. Within a single year, he had repeatedly defeated four third-grade sects' direct disciples, which also included the top third-grade sect Peacock Mountain.
This success felt as if it were out of reach for anyone else. Within the Seven Profound Valleys, Jiang Baoyun was considered invincible among the younger generation. Even if it was Ouyang Ming who had attained a higher rank during the last Martial Meeting, no one believed that he had even the slightest chance of suppressing Jiang Baoyun.
But now, this myth known as Jiang Baoyun who was the greatest talent the Sword Faction had seen for centuries, was actually defeated by a disciple of the 36 countries. Not only that, but this disciple's cultivation was only at the early Pulse Condensation period…
This was no different than a dream!
In the Grand Hall, Shi Zongtian was heavily breathing, gasping for breath. In this last match, he actually favored Lin Ming's odds of winning. But after watching the entire battle play out, he was extremely shocked – this was because of the coiling dragon steel needle!
The second time that the coiling dragon steel needle appeared, Shi Zongtian had a faint feeling in his heart of what it was. But he didn't dare to affirm this guess, or it was more accurate to say, he didn't dare to believe.
In this match, Lin Ming had obviously integrated the coiling dragon steel needle within his body, using it to resist Jiang Baoyun and his Sword Spirit Avatar in melee attacks to make up for his disadvantage in speed.
To use the coiling dragon steel needle to this degree, how could it possibly be some destructive instrument created by a master?
Because of this, Shi Zongtian was able to affirm the guess in his heart that this weapon was created from the condensation of a Thunder Soul. And the grade wasn't low either. It was at least a high-grade human step Thunder Soul, or maybe even an earth-step Thunder Soul!
This was an extremely absurd and preposterous speculation. A high-grade human-step Thunder Soul could only be absorbed by someone at least at the Xiantian realm.
As for an earth-step Thunder Soul, even a thunder-attribute middle Xiantian powerhouse would have to be cautious in absorbing it!
How could Lin Ming possibly accomplish this?
Shi Zongtian glanced at the other elders present, and he saw that only the Refiner Faction Sovereign and Array Faction elders were shocked with disbelief. As for the other elders, they showed no difference. Of course, they couldn't be blamed for not recognizing what this coiling dragon steel needle truly was. Originally, a Thunder Soul was an extremely rare and scarce existence, and even the Seven Profound Valleys didn't have a thunder-attribute master, so they weren't familiar with it. Not only that, but the Thunder Soul in Lin Ming's palm had also changed shape into a needle.
Only those from the Refiner Faction and Array Faction suspected this. This was because they frequently dealt with the seven heaven and earth origin energies of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder. Of course, this was only a suspicion; they too weren't sure, and couldn't believe it.
Shi Zongtian couldn't help but glance at Mu Qinghong. Seeing that she didn't show any difference in expression, his heart immediately sunk.
This woman! She probably already knew!
Shi Zongtian hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything. This sort of matter was too shocking, if it spread out, then it would create unnecessary troubles.
Mu Qinghong pursed her lips as she sat near Shi Zongtian. Her eyes were bright as she gazed at Lin Ming. 'If his growth continues like this, then Lin Ming will enter into the Revolving Core realm. Not only that, but he will be a Revolving Core powerhouse who can fight above his realm!'
In the martial arts path, the further one walked, the more difficult it was to jump over realms to fight. This was because the higher one reached, the greater the gap between realms would become, and the higher the disparity in cultivation. This was because those that rose higher were all top-tier geniuses when they were young. For instance, when they were in the Pulse Condensation period, they were also like Jiang Baoyun and Mugu Buyu, first class geniuses that could jump ranks to fight martial artists with higher cultivation. But to jump realms in battle when facing even more talented geniuses, this was simply harder than ascending to heaven!
Thus those Revolving Core powerhouses who could jump realms in battle were pivotal existences within the South Horizon Region!
'It looks like even Qianyu underestimated him. He is a True Dragon within a deep pool. Soon, he will fly into the sky. It is just right that I came on this trip. No, I should have Qianyu come here personally!'
Mu Qinghong had a premonition that in the future, Lin Ming would become a main character who stood upon the greatest stage of the entire Sky Spill Continent, leaving his name for all of eternity!
Such a powerhouse would only be those Supreme Elders who founded their own Holy Lands and soared into the Realm of the Gods!
But, such mighty beings had already been absent from the South Horizon Region for thousands of years; it could be said that these figures no longer existed, and shouldn't be considered.
As Mu Qinghong thought this, she sent a true essence sound transmission to the maid behind her, "Inform Young Mistress Qianyu and have her come here personally."

Champions League draw fixtures: When are the next Champions League games after the draw?
THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE is now set to return to our screens next month, and teams are being drawn to determine who plays who right now. What are the next Champions League games following the draw?
Champions League fever is to grip the country once again as teams prepare to find out who they're playing in their first games come September.
Odds this year have priced former winners Real Madrid at a much lower chance of winning despite having lifted the trophy in each of the past three seasons.
Major changes in leadership have come as Cristiano Ronaldo moves over to Italian side Juventus, putting Real at a disadvantage.
With some of the groups now decided for the upcoming games, when will the first matches be?
When are the next Champion's League games?
The official draw for the Champion's League is taking place today, to be streamed live on UEFA's official website from 5pm today.
After the draw, football fans will be waiting a little while before the first matches take place.
The first round of matches will begin next month, on September 18 and 19.
Champions League 2018 fixtures: When are the next games?
From there, the tournament will continue for nearly a year, culminating in a final at Wanda Metropolitano stadium from June 1 2019.
The draw itself will determine who exactly is to play the first proper games of the Champion's League.
So far, the teams entered into pots ready to be drawn have been decided as the time approaches.
Rules this year have stated that no two teams from the same country will be drawn in the same group.
UEFA has also decided that teams from Russia and the Ukraine cannot play off against one another.
How do the Champion's League pots work?
The first pot in the Champions League consists of last year's Champions and Europa League winners.
Champions from each of the six-highest ranked nations taking part will also be included, which means the Spanish sides Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are all in the running.
The other three pots are confirmed via club coefficients - a ranking system banking on how well clubs in Europe have performed over the previous five years.
What are the Champions League pots?
This year's pots are:
Pot one
Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus, PSG, Lokomotiv Moscow
Pot two
Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica, Napoli, Tottenham, Roma
Pot three
Liverpool, Schalke, Lyon, Monaco, Ajax, CSKA Moscow, PSV Eindhoven, Valencia
Pot four
Viktoria Plzen, Club Brugge, Galatasaray, Young Boys, Internazionale, Hoffenheim, Red Star Belgrade, AEK Athens

For a while now I've been a little disappointed with the performance of the battery in my 15″ Mac Book Pro. I bought the laptop in January 2007 (just under a year ago) and have been more than happy with it ever since… apart from the battery.
I first started getting problems at the end of the summer when the battery health dropped to about 65%. With only around 230 cycles on it. At the time I took it back to the shop I bought it from and had it tested. This was shortly after Apple announced a battery recall program for batteries sold from February 2006 through May 2006. Unfortunately my purchase date put my battery out of this range.
In October 2007, however, Apple extended the recall for laptops sold up until April 2007. At the time my battery fell outside of the requirements for getting a replacement battery. However, in the last could of days the battery health has suddenly dropped from 60% to a measly 14%. Also, the charge time has reduced to 20 minutes (I don't think that's right somehow) or the time to charge has been "Calculating" for up to an hour. As soon as I remove the power cable the computer just dies.
With a few weeks left on my warranty I thought I'd give it a shot and called Apple support line. Five minutes later they have agreed to replace the battery and have taken my details (including my credit card incase I decide to not return the dud battery). The replacement should be here in 5 days and then I have another 10 days to get the replacement back to Apple.

I've just realised that it's two months now since I bought my new motorbike, a lovely yellow/grey BMW R1200GS, mint condition, full hard luggage, low millage, engine bars, ABS, alarm. And it been a month since some silly old lady pulled out in front of me without looking and the bike still hasn't been fixed… and I've got to have an x-ray on my knee
Never mind, with all the free time on may hands that I'm not spend on the bike I'm able to watch videos on YouTube about the 1200GS. My good friend Shane pointed me in the direction of the ones below:
We've been talking for sometime about doing a trip to Iceland on bikes and to do photography. Watching these makes me want to do something like that all the more. Now that Shane is learning to ride it might become a reality… so long as my bike gets fixed.
