Has everyone paid their association fee and is everyone that was behind caught up? If not, what is the association doing about it. If there are no consequences on not paying, then why should I continue to pay mine?
I would like to see a list of the people who have not paid. I would be willing to bet, they are the same people that drive to fast, spin their tires and tear up the roads that MY $200.00 goes toward.
And whoever drove up in my yard owes me for my time and material. And I will not be responsible for flat tires in the future!!

Hey Dave,
The majority of the property owners do pay their dues on a yearly basis. Unfortunately there are individuals who are late and/or do not pay. These individuals do accrue penalties and once behind two years are turned over to our attorney to file suit. I'm really sorry to hear that your yard was torn up. I did see the tire marks in your yard the day after several fire trucks were out on Lake Park due to a fire. Therefore I would assume that the fire department caused the damage to your yard when they were turning right at the mailboxes to attend to the fire. You may want to reach out to them to see if they would reimburse you for the damage. Have a great day.

Hi Pinkate14
I suspect you have the same irritation as me - under your breasts? If so, it is fungal. I was prescribed a cream and a lotion. The lotion for the dark patch - it makes it go away and the cream to cure the rash. It worked excellently for me and the rash hasn't returned for quite a while now. Steroid creams didn't work even though they kept the itching at bay... The lotion was Ketopine and the cream was Fucibe.

How could I not watch my girl Kim So Yeon in Falling in Love with Soon Jung? And coupled with Jung Kyung Ho they make a very interesting pair. I enjoyed this drama, but not enough to be exuberant about it just yet. It's a very complicated set-up to begin with, and it makes the drama more of a melodrama than a romantic comedy I hoped it would be. Nevertheless, I'm curious to see what comes of it.
Kang Min Ho, a.k.a. James Kang (Jung Kyung Ho), is a bitter 34-year old Director of Gold Partners, an investment/consulting group that has ties to his uncle's company, Hermia. He wants to take over his uncle's company because he has a grudge against him for taking over Hermia from his father. The company was stolen right under his and his mother's noses and many of his father's former friends ended up "switching sides" to Uncle Kang Hyun Chul's side. I say "switching sides" under quotes because there could be another side to the story. So Min Ho wants to destroy everyone who betrayed his father.
One of those friends who switched sides is Manager Kim, who turns out to be Kim Soon Jung's (Kim So Yeon) father. She grew up to become Hyun Chul's most trusted and senior secretary, and her first meeting with Min Ho does not go over well. When news spreads that Min Ho is out to take over Hyun Chul's company, she prevents Min Ho from entering the meeting room because he didn't have an appointment.
Hyun Chul's company is not doing so well at the moment either since news has broke that one of their cosmetics needs to be recalled after finding a poisonous substance in them. So with his company failing, Gold Partners is in a prime position to take over.
Soon Jung works at the company with her best friend Lee Joon Hee (Yoon Hyun Min), who's Hyun Chul's "hunting dog" and legal counsel. Basically he has to do all the dirty work. Joon Hee clearly cares for Soon Jung, but she's already taken by her childhood love, Ma Dong Wook (Jin Goo), a gutsy detective. In fact, Joon Hee helps his best friend win Soon Jung's hand in marriage, playing a part in a ruse to get her to a small performance space where Dong Wook serenades her and then proposes.
Soon Jung and Dong Wook are very very happy, while Min Ho is just… not. The same heart disease that claimed his father's life is afflicting him now, and his doctor believes he has less than a month to live based on how it's accelerating. Min Ho looks very fit despite his sickness, I might add. Because of the shortened timeline, he accelerates his plan on acquiring Hermia and barges into one of the factories where Joon Hee and Dong Wook's fathers work to sell it. Dong Wook faces off with Min Ho, as he has quite the short temper, not realizing that he just made more trouble for Soon Jung at work.
Min Ho has his eyes on Soon Jung now for revenge, and he decides to use her in one of his schemes to rattle Hyun Chul. He "buys" her for the day – in exchange he'll drop charges against her fiance – and makes her attend a secret meeting beside him. What she doesn't realize is that it's a secret meeting hosted by Hyun Chul with some important bondholders in the company. Hyun Chul doesn't believe his secretary betrayed him, since she didn't know about the meeting in the first place, and so Min Ho offers to buy everyone's bonds at face value immediately.
All of them bite, and want to sell to Min Ho. Unfortunately Hyun Chul discovers around the same time that Min Ho is suffering from a disease. In front of the bondholders who are about to sell to Min Ho, Hyun Chul reveals Min Ho's impending death, which ruins his potential deal with the bondholders. Min Ho believes that Soon Jung ratted on him, as she had accidentally discovered his condition when he fainted on her and she had to bring him to the hospital. The stress of feeling betrayed and his dreams shattering takes too much of a toll on Min Ho's heart and he passes out again, with one of his heart vessels this time completely giving out.
Meanwhile, during all of this, Dong Wook decides to investigate the Hermia case as he feels that if he can find the product manager in charge of the cosmetic he'll be able to help Soon Jung and Joon Hee in some way. The product manager had conveniently disappeared when the news had leaked about the poisonous substance, and so Dong Wook does everything he can to find the man. When he does, he realizes that Joon Hee has been hiding the product manager the entire time. That same evening, he confronts Joon Hee and discovers that his best friend has been working the entire time for Gold Partners and trying to stage a coup from within. Joon Hee is tired of being Hyun Chul's bitch, and wants to take over the company. He made the product manager put the poisonous material in so that Hermia's products would get recalled, and then Min Ho could swoop in to take over the company and destroy it.
Dong Wook can't accept this though. As a righteous and moral detective he cannot turn a blind eye to this. How convenient it is then that he gets struck by a white van and is left to die on the streets. Assumption is that Joon Hee killed him, but we don't know yet.
As Dong Wook is rushed to the hospital, dying, so is Min Ho. Soon Jung is with Min Ho when she learns the crushing news that her beloved fiance is dead. But it just so happens that his heart is a perfect match for Min Ho, and the transplant takes place.
Some time later, Min Ho has recovered enough to go outside of the hospital. When his friend and M&A director Oh Woo Shik (Lee Shi Eun again!) steps away to take a call, a young patient drops her rubber ball right under Min Ho's feet. He picks it up and hands it over to her, and then taps her on the nose – just as Dong Wook used to do for Soon Jung. First visible change in Min Ho is that he's smiling broadly.
Thoughts and Comments
The first two episodes were definitely quite heady as we had to establish why Min Ho hated his uncle and many other fathers so much. It's also such a small world because very quickly we see how all the fathers and their children are related to one another and work together. It was a lot of serious information, making the show more of a melodrama than I thought it'd be.
It also makes me wonder what direction the show will go in. Will we have to spend hours watching how Min Ho tries to take over his uncle's company? Or will his change of heart (hur hur) cause him to give up on that cause and just work to better Hermia from the inside out? Of course, he will have to woo Soon Jung the entire time, which is going to be a tall order for him because I really liked Jin Goo. (I know he had a small role but at the same time he was really lovable.) Will the show be more romantic comedy as it focuses on the romance, or more melodrama to show the business deals going on? And what of Joon Hee? Surely someone's going to have to find out about his duplicity. Right now it feels like there are more dark overtones than light ones on this show, which makes me feel like it'll be a lot more serious than I'd wish for it to be. But we'll have to keep watching to truly know, right?
I'm kind of surprised that Kim So Yeon took on this role. I haven't seen any of her earlier work, in which I know she did a few more melodramas in her day, and I haven't really watched her in historicals. However in the shows that I have seen her in, she always played a character with more agency. Here I feel like she gets pulled and pushed around too often, being someone's pawn from one scene to the next. I hope to see her character gain the means to take control of her life. So far she's the typical female character who's always working hard but upon which bad things just happen to her. It's not that she causes them, but she's just unlucky in that sort of way. I don't like seeing Kim So Yeon like this, so I hope her character changes soon.
In any case, I'm definitely curious to see more. I want to see how Jung Kyung Ho changes, and how subtle those personality changes are. (I hope they're subtle; Heart transplants aren't personality makeovers.) He was very convincing as an angry, bitter, and serious melodramatic lead, and so I'd like to see him infuse some of Dong Wook's more whimsical personality. I'd also like to see what happens to Joon Hee, who gave such a good first impression that it's hard to shake it off despite how evil he turned out to be.
But I am wary that this drama could veer way off the Cliff of Reason and into the Valley of Over-dramatics.

Concentration~Your Inspirational Quote Monday August 1 2011
Blog Post Boomer54 Mark
"The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there."
"When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two."
"Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of attention."
"On the way to work, concentrate on the way—not the work."
"Pay attention. Don't just stagger through the day."
~Jim Rohn
For more than 40 years, Jim Rohn honed his craft like a skilled artist-helping people the world over sculpt lifestrategies that have expanded their imagination of what is possible. Those who had the privilege of hearing him speak can attest to the elegance and common sense of his material. It is no coincidence, then, that he is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time, and thought of by many as a national treasure. Jim authored countless books and audio and video programs, and helped motivate and shape an entire generation of personal-development trainers and hundreds of executives from America's top corporations.
Born to an Idaho farming family in the mid-1900s, Jim was ingrained with a work ethic that has served him well throughout his life. At 25, he met his mentor Earl Shoaff. And over the next six years he made his first fortune, yet didn't get into speaking until he moved to Beverly Hills, California, when a friend at the Rotary Club asked him to tell his success story, which Rohn titled "Idaho Farm Boy Makes It to Beverly Hills."
His speech went over so well that he received more invitations to share it, and better yet, they started paying him for it. In the beginning, he spoke in front of college and high-school classes and at service clubs, before moving on to seminars in 1963, which launched him into the personal-development business. From then on, Jim Rohn became a trailblazer in the self help and personal development industry, impacting the lives of millions through his life-changing material.
Jim Rohn focused on the fundamentals of human behavior that most affect personal and business performance. His is the standard to which those who seek to teach and inspire others are compared. He possessed the unique ability to bring extraordinary insights to ordinary principles and events, and the combination of his substance and style captures the imagination of those who hear or read his words.

Looking for Win 7 Laptop for modern gaming
My old M1730 Dell has recently died, I am looking for a new machine. To be honest my old laptop was outdating and its passing was not a tragedy. I do not know a lot about Pc laptops, so i was wondering if anybody would have information for me. I have found a Alienware computer called Alienware ALW14-4681sLV.
I found it at a decent price, but would be able to run modern games like far cry 3, skyrim, and others. Any recommendations and comments would be highly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hell yes.
You might not be playing on maxed out settings with extremely GPU intensive games, but you can easily run the most demanding of modern games on medium to high settings with that. It should run Skyrim at or near to Ultra, and FC3 on high settings.
I've got a $250 Asus with an Intel Pentium 2.3ghz B970 APU, 4gb DDR3, and 320gb HDD and it runs Skyrim, Burnout Paradise, Serious Sam HD, Shadow Warrior, Saint's Row 2, Fallout 3 with lots of mods, and Farcry 3 on low-medium settings depending on the game at around 30-35fps if not more.
I don't use it for gaming much and mostly use it for browsing the web while I'm using my big PC for other things like games, streaming video, or when I'm watching television because my monitor is also my TV. It's a pretty low end laptop and it will run most modern games even if only at low settings. There are some games I can't run on it, but those are only a few extremely demanding titles.
Sometimes I game on it if I visit family and I'm away from my PC or end up in a waiting room for a while at a doctor's office or something. It's primarily for browsing and video streaming though. It's very convenient to have and only weighs about 3 lbs.
That Alienware laptop you're talking about is far, far more powerful than what I've got and should run those games with no difficulty whatsoever at decent if not maxed out settings no problem.
You're good to go with that laptop. It could run Crysis 3, the newest Call of Duty, Max Payne 3, or Battlefield 4 without issue at decent settings and those are much more demanding games than Skyrim or Far Cry 3.

Windows 10x64 Build 1709
I was just looking at the Alienware lineup a couple of days ago. They are still coming with Win7 for the most part (the main reason I was checking them out). I own a gaming laptop (Asus G74Sx) and suggest you check out their gaming lappy lineup. Well made, decent price and POWER for gaming. The newer (than mine) G75VW looks mighty tasty to me but you can find G74Sx's if you look hard enough. The 2 internal drive bays on MOST of Asus' gaming rigs are a real treat. The only thing I had negative to say about them is the customer support, it sux!

Thanks for the comments guys! Now i have the money to spare, but even thought i was wondering what you would consider to be a long lasting, performance based computer that is easy on the wallet. I would like to have more than one choice considering this computer needs to last as long as my m1730 did.

What is the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) ?
The result of each review is reflected in an "outcome report" listing the recommendations made to the State under review (SuR) including those that it accepted and which it will have to implement before the next review.
The UPR is a full-circle process comprising three key stages:
- Review of the human rights situation of the SuR
- Implementation between two reviews (4 years) of the recommendations accepted and voluntary pledges and commitments by the SuR
- Reporting at the next review on the implementation of those recommendations and pledges and on the human rights situation in the country since the previous review.
India's UPR
India was part of the first series of States whose UPR was conducted by the Human Rights Council in April 2008. Following India's first UPR, the Government of India (GoI) had accepted 18 recommendations made by governments at the UN Human Rights Council. WGHR has prepared a chart with an assessment of the implementation of those recommendations. At the second cycle of India's UPR on 24 May 2012, the implementation of these recommendations as well as new developments in the human rights scenario from 2008 onwards was assessed.
To view most important documents on India's first UPR and other useful UN documents visit the Resources page.
In the run- up to India's second UPR, WGHR coordinated the drafting of a joint "stakeholders' report" which addressed some of the most pressing human rights issues in India today. In order for the report to reflect the current human rights challenges in the country as precisely as possible, WGHR and its regional partners held a series of five regional consultations with civil society actors across India between 28 August and 28 September 2011. Click here to see the map of UPR consultations organized by WGHR. These regional consultations were followed by a national consultation on 11 – 12 October 2011, which, brought together representatives from all five regional consultations and looked at common patterns of human rights violations across regions. The pooled information collected both at the regional and national consultations fed into WGHR's stakeholders' report that was submitted to OHCHR on 28 November 2011.
Ahead of India's UPR in May 2012, WGHR also prepared a status report on human rights in India specifically as a resource document for India's UPR by adding information to the stakeholders' report. The report has case studies on important human rights themes and also has an updated chart on UPR I recommendations as an annexure.

Our last full day on 'Eua, and we decided to see some more of the sights the island had to offer. The lovely people at the Hideaway also ran 4x4 tours of the island, so the four of us opted to spend the day with Sifa again. The weather was beautiful again, although the seas were getting stormy and we learned that the ferry we had taken a couple of days before had been cancelled for the rest of the week. Luckily we'd booked the plane back to Tongatapu the next day.
We crammed into the 4x4 and first took another group up to the start of the Fangatave trek, before heading to our first sightseeing spot.
A view of the beach below the cliffs, our first viewpoint.
An example of a traditional house - this is now a school house.
Next we took a drive into the rainforest, and a walk up a river to a spring.
On the way we saw some Red Shining Parrots - unique to 'Eua. Unfortunately couldn't take any decent photos, but at least I can say I've seen a bird my dad hasn't yet seen!
Then we headed to see a sight I found absolutely amazing - a giant Banyan (strangling fig) tree. This particular tree is named Big Ovava, and you can see why!
Big Ovava is so big I couldn't take a photo of the whole of it in one go!
This tree is actually growing out of a giant sink hole, and we climbed down into it. It reminded me of the tree in Avatar, I could just imagine blue aliens swinging around in the roots and branches...
View taken from further down in the sink hole.
Another nearby sink hole, photo taken from the top.
And looking up from the bottom!
We made it down into the sink hole to the bottom of the tree - the roots are massive.
Sifa and one of the women in our group decided to climb back up through the roots and branches! I wasn't quite that brave!
After that little adventure we headed deeper into the rainforest - the vegetation along the track we drove was about as high as the car bonnet! Sifa took us to a cave called the Rat Cave - a name which didn't really encourage us to explore further...
Sifa headed into the small cave, I took a little more convincing...
But eventually I made it inside - it was more of a tunnel which opened onto a cliff ledge.
View of the rainforest coastline from the cliff.
Next we came to a man-made viewpoint, another lovely view of the national park coastline.
I managed to snap a photo of a white tail tropic bird (Tavake) - a pair of them were playing on the winds.
Another drive, and a short trek to a local waterfall, the Smoking Cave, unfortunately not much water in it at present.
A student fell to his death here not long ago, whilst walking in the bush at night. It would have been a pretty difficult retrieval, as the sink hole is deep and hard to access.
We then headed to Lakufanga - the Rock Gardens, where we had our picnic lunch and a little rest.
The cliffs at the Rock gardens.
There is a local legend about this place, where a starving family threw themselves to their deaths when they ran out of food and have been reincarnated as sea turtles. If you throw the fa fruit from the cliffs the turtles will come and eat them. You can read more about the legend here.
A natural archway - Li'anga Huo A Maui.
Legend tells that the archway was created by Maui's mother. Maui's mother had woken up Maui to do some hoeing on the island, and Maui, feeling quite angry about being woken up started hoeing and caused an earthquake. His mother stopped him as he was damaging the island and snatched the hoe from his hand, throwing it to the south of the island where it became embedded in the cliff face. Maui later pulled it out, creating the archway.
Our last stop after visiting the archway was a lovely empty beach. We had time to take a leisurely swim in the deep rock pools, and sunbathe afterwards.
It was another great day on 'Eua. I absolutely adored this island, if I came back to Tonga I think I would head straight here. Although we didn't have time to visit the other groups of islands that make up Tonga, I think we made a great choice in coming to 'Eua.

Congress to be held from 12th to 15th February at the "Camara de Commercio de Castellon" (Spain)
At Qualicer '06 - the 9th World Congress on tile quality - SACMI will present a report on a new application for Continua® compaction technology: this presentation is scheduled for 8.30 a.m. on 15th February.The Ceramic Division's R&D managers - Andrea Bresciani and Claudio Ricci – will illustrate a new process that allows ceramic slabs and tiles to be made with a layer of reinforcement fibre incorporated in the ceramic material.Because Continua® is so suited to the making of layered ceramic products, it allows a high-strength reinforcement fibre to be inserted between the layers without in any way compromising aesthetic potential or plant productivity.Now, for the very first time, this new process allows producers to make large-size ceramic slabs that can be installed on external facades. Also, because of the mechanical advantages provided by the internal fibre layer, it is possible to make the slab significantly thinner.As a result of the above developments, a host of new possibilities are appearing with regard to utilisation of ceramic in the lining of building facades and wherever else high impact resistance and in-built safety in the event of breakage are required.

Acclaimed Irish ensemble Danú will take audiences on a musical excursion to the Emerald Isle when the Mercyhurst Institute for Arts & Culture presents Féile Na Nollag: A Christmas Gathering on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center.
Christmas in Ireland is one of the most important times for families and friends. Holiday gatherings, in communities both urban and rural, have engaged generations in song, dance, music and stories. A Christmas Gathering offers a taste of these extraordinary events, creating a festive atmosphere of virtuosic instrumentals, spirited dancing and stirring vocals from Nell Ní Chróinín.
Hailing from counties Waterford, Dublin, Donegal and Cork, Danú is one of the leading traditional Irish ensembles of today. Their standing-room-only concerts throughout Ireland are anticipated events featuring high-energy performances and a tasteful mix of ancient Irish music and new repertoire.
Since their creation in 1995, Danú has achieved a unique classical Irish sound thanks to a brilliant blending of flute, fiddle, button accordion, percussion and vocals. To date, Danú has produced eight albums, including Think Before You Think, which was named the Best Overall Traditional Act by the Dublin-based Magazine Irish Music in 2000.
Winners of numerous awards, including the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, Danú has toured throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America, with stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Symphony Space in New York City and major concert engagements in the United Kingdom, India and Israel.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and $10 for students and youth 12 and younger. Tickets can be purchased online at miac.mercyhurst.edu or by calling the box office at 814-824-3000.
The 2017-18 MIAC Live season is made possible through the generosity of Dr. & Mrs. Robert Guelcher, Cumulus Media and the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority. The performance is sponsored by McCreary Roofing, Laser Dentistry and WQLN. MIAC has also partnered with Radius CoWork for this performance.

The ribbon clerks are gone, so it`s time for some serious basketball.
De Paul`s NCAA subregional in the Horizon is down to the four best teams. Best of all, De Paul is one of them.
The Blue Demons gave a crowd of 16,861 what it came to see Friday night, thrashing Louisiana Tech 76-62 in their tournament debut. Dallas Comegys and Rod Strickland, De Paul`s pair of aces, showed the full house what the NCAA tournament is all about.
But instead of resting on their laurels, the Demons (27-2) have to do it all over again Sunday at 4:07 p.m. They`ll face St. John`s (21-8) in second-round action, with the winner moving on to next Friday`s Midwest Regional semifinals in Cincinnati.
There, De Paul hopes to meet the survivor of Sunday`s Horizon opener, matching Temple (32-3) with LSU (22-14). But first, they must dispose of St. John`s by finding a way to deal with Mark Jackson and Willie Glass, the Redmen`s superior guards.
All it will take is an encore of Friday`s performance by the jittery Comegys and the flu-ridden Strickland. They combined for 54 points, 29 of them by Comegys, with offensive artistry that sent the stubborn Bulldogs (22-8)
back home to Ruston, La.
''If Strickland played sick tonight, I`d hate to see him when he`s healthy,'' said Tech coach Tommy Joe Eagles. ''He`s the heart of that team, even though Comegys took charge inside.''
The emotional tone for this game was set even before St. John`s had squeezed past Wichita State 57-55 in Friday night`s opener. When the Demons filed out to watch the last few minutes, the crowd let loose a roar that must have penetrated the walls of Tech`s dressing room. After they took the court to warm up, the Bulldogs kept glancing at the packed stands while the fans honed their pregame fervor to fever pitch.
''We played tight,'' Eagles admitted. ''Maybe it was the crowd and the building, but we didn`t execute nearly as well as we have been doing.''
De Paul rooters showed the symptoms of NCAA tournament fever, elevating the emotional pitch inside the Horizon even higher than the 103-degree temperatures that had afflicted Strickland and backcourt running mate Kevin Edwards earlier in the week. Actually, coach Joey Meyer had started the Demons` psychological bandwagon rolling before the players arrived.
''We were at the hotel for the pregame meal and our fans were all over the place,'' said Stanley Brundy, who ignored the pain of a swollen right index finger to contribute 21 valuable minutes in a reserve role. ''Coach Meyer told us, `With these fans behind us, no way you can lose this game.`
''When we went out to watch the first game, the fans made so much noise it was unbelievable. We were too high until Dallas got us together and told us just to go out and play our normal gmae.''
Under such conditions, that was impossible. The electric atmosphere spurred Comegys and Strickland to maximum effort, and the rest of the Demons were swept along in the tide.
So were the Bulldogs, who repeatedly closed ground but never could catch up. A sensational Strickland basket, with 14:52 to play and Tech guard Kelvin Lewis draped all over him, finally put De Paul out of reach at 50-37.
''Rod was making some incredible plays all night,'' Brundy said. ''When he came to the bench, I asked him how he could do it. He was unreal.''
Even Strickland was pleasantly surprised by his numbers: 9-for-11 from the floor, 6-for-6 at the line, 8 assists, 25 points.
''I got up and down the court pretty well,'' the Demons` playmaker agreed. ''I wanted to be aggressive and he (Lewis) was playing me so tight, I had some angles to the basket.''
At the end, it was Meyer who was pale and wheezing, apparently a victim of the same bug that bit Stickland and Edwards. Comegys and the rest of the Demons seemed ready to go play St. John`s immediately, though the Demons`
cocaptain confessed to an attack of nervous tension.
''Oh, God, that was awful,'' said Comegys, scanning the box score that showed he had missed 7 of 12 free throws. ''I was nervous at the start, because the ovation when we went on the court made the feeling run through my body.''
Comegys` 12-for-14 accuracy from the floor, along with 8 rebounds, soon sent a soothing message to De Paul rooters. But it was Comegys` defensive presence, along with the rest of the Schoolyard Dogs, that told Tech this was not to be their night.
''Comegys intimidated us on defense and took away our momentum in key areas,'' said Robert Godbolt, the Bulldogs` leading scorer, who topped them again with 21 points. ''He`s so quick and gets off his feet so fast, it`s hard to double-team him.''

The whole system of aqua culture does come with its own set of benefits. There are a lot of advantages which may be had from getting into the aqua culture industry. Among these advantages would be providing a more stable food source for countries all over the world, giving more possibilities for employment for individuals who previously had none, and the advantage of having more flexibility in the whole process of food production.
On the other hand, it also comes with its own set of disadvantages. Like many things in the world, there is always a downside to whatever is offered as a solution. You can find here below a short list of aqua culture's disadvantages.
Some Disadvantages of Aqua Culture
The first disadvantage of aqua culture is that it propagates invasive species. This means that as the production of waste increases, then the propagation of species like the janitor fish would also increase, mainly because this species feeds on waste. Plus, since it is easier for janitor fish to multiply, then they would also pose a threat to the life of the other, more food-related fish and other organisms. It becomes a fight for survival.
The second disadvantage of aqua culture production is that it poses a threat to coastal ecosystems. Quite contrary to what some defenders of aqua culture say, some oppose it saying that it threatens the diversity of the world's coastal ecosystems. The opponents say that aqua culture actually produces and causes waste. One of the common example is the culturing of salmon. This is usually done in pristine coastal waters. As a result, the discharged waste of the salmon is disposed to the aquatic environment, causing the pollution of the bodies of water. The wastes of the cultured species settle to the body of water, making it a source of waste.
The third disadvantage of aqua culture is that it poses a threat to human health and and contaminates water sources. The wastes that come from the cultured species hold the possibility of contaminating sources of water and causing health hazards to the communities within which these aqua culture farms exist.
It is therefore of great importance that you first see and understand the entire process before diving in headfirst into the industry. As has already been mentioned, make sure you visit the countries with strong aqua culture industries. To get on these trips abroad for cheaper prices, look for coupon codes using the following keywords: 'ctrip hotel welcome promotion code' or the 'expedia discount code where to enter'.

Caprice lands reality show
- Bang Showbiz
- 18 June 2013
Caprice has landed her own reality show, 'Ladies of London', which will document the lives of six of her super-wealthy friends including late designer Alexander McQueen's longtime friend Annabel Nielson and socialite and businesswoman Caroline Stanbury
Caprice has landed her own 'Real Housewives'-style reality show.
The 41-year-old model - who is expecting two babies this summer, one conceived by surrogate and the other naturally - has already started filming the Bravo series, 'Ladies of London', which will document the lives of six of her super-wealthy friends including socialite and businesswoman Caroline Stanbury.
A source said: "Unlike 'Made in Chelsea', there is no script. It's a documentary about real, rich women living in the capital with all the glitz, glamour and scandal that that brings.
"There's a lot more to these women's lives than just shopping and necking champagne. Viewers are going to be shocked by just what goes on in these elite circles."
Caprice has already been spotted at a top London restaurant shooting the show, which will be screened in the autumn and feature model Noelle Reno and late designer Alexander McQueen's longtime friend Annabelle Nielson, as well as cameos from former 'Holby city' actress Patsy Kensit and Jodie Kidd.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Caprice is trying to juggle her underwear business while preparing to be a mother for the first time.
"She is determined to keep up with the pace of life that these women in London lead, while frantically preparing for motherhood."

Online Reading Quizzes
The online reading quizzes are intended to provide you with an incentive to complete the reading assignments in a timely manner, to ensure that you have been attentive not only to the broad strokes of the author's arguments but the details, as well. There are eleven (11) weeks in this course with at least two days of reading, and thus eleven (11) online quizzes (available through Blackboard), each with 6 questions drawn in (roughly) equal measure all available reading assignments for the week.
The weeks with reading quizzes are as follows...
- August 24-28 (Week 1)
- August 31-September 4 (Week 2)
- September 7-11 (Week 3)
- September 14-18 (Week 4)
- September 21-25 (Week 5)
- October 5-9 (Week 7)
- October 12-16 (Week 8)
- October 19-23 (Week 9)
- November 2-6 (Week 11)
- November 9-13 (Week 12)
- November 30-December 4 (Week 15)
The quizzes will become available on Blackboard at noon on Mondays, and will close at 12:25 PM (a half-hour before class meets) on Fridays. Each quiz may be taken only once, and they may not be made up or taken late.
The Blackboard website for OU students may be found here (Blackboard). Please navigate to "Themes in Global Politics," and then select "Reading Quizzes" from the left-hand menu.
You must complete 8 of the 11 reading quizzes over the course of the semester. Your overall grade will be based on the total number of correct answers you submit in those 8 quizzes , out of 48 possible points (if you complete all 8 required quizzes, I'll give you an automatic two-point bonus, for a total of 50 points possible). Your grade will be calculated on the first 8 quizzes you begin (which is how Blackboard records these things--it is not possible to "check" the questions before you officially begin the quiz). You must complete the quiz in a single sitting. This is a requirement of Blackboard's, and I cannot change it.
You cannot take extra quizzes beyond your required 8 for extra credit, and you may not substitute the score of a 9th, 10th, or 11th quiz for one on which you did poorly. Because you may miss 3 quizzes with no penalty, there will be no-make ups or alternate assignments, and no excuses related to technological gaffes or failures will be accepted. You are expected to have access to a working computer and a stable, reliable internet connection for this class. To repeat: the score you earn for the first 8 quizzes you begin is the score you will earn, with no exceptions.
To summarize:
- You must complete 8 of 11 reading quizzes on Blackboard.
- 6 questions per quiz, for a total of 96 possible points (automatic four point bonus for completing all 8 quizzes, 100 points total).
- Reading quizzes cover ALL assigned readings for the week, Monday through Friday
- Each quiz becomes available at noon on Monday, and closes at 12:25 PM on Friday.
- Quiz Schedule is posted above.
- Once you begin the quiz, you must complete it--there are no "do-overs."
- No make-ups or alternative assignments. You may miss three quizzes with no penalty, so choose those weeks wisely.
- No extra credit for extra quizzes. Your score on the first 8 you begin is your score.

I made this for my Mother for Mothers Day. She loves to feed the wild Squirrels so I made a Birdhouse that really serves as a nut dispenser. The drawer slides out and it is filled with peanuts. The funny thing is my mom put it outside and the squirrels learned how to open the drawer! Pretty funny, now I have to build her a shelf..
I made all the parts including the trim and the drawer. The base is also cut out in an acorn shape. This one was lots of fun…

Subject: Magician and Priestess (Grubbs and Bec only)
Mon Aug 20, 2012 6:46 pm
Sticks and stones won't break my bones. It's the branches and boulders I shoulder.
That's how I felt. I felt alone here in this century, I barely knew anyone in this place was so different from my home. Dervish and I didn't get along, Grubb's hated me for taking Bill-E's dead body to bring me back to life, Beranabus was busy fighting demons in the Demonata. I was alone in the mansion but I knew Grubbs was coming back from the market. Dervish was called away on urgent business in the Demonata so it was just Grubbs and I now at the mansion until further notice. The teenager sure had a lot to deal with. After he got over the Bill-E factor he was a little kinder to me my second day I was here. I just hoped we could get along. I was worried about Bran, Kernel and Dervish but Grubbs and I had orders to stay here until one of them came back. Meera visited once in awhile, I was thankful. She and I were open with one another about things, even girl things that I couldn't tell others.
On the couch I was watching tv. Such a funny thing tv was. Movement in a box and sometimes it was skinnier than a box. I had a lot of getting use to, cars still scared me but I felt safer being inside of it than near it where I could get ran over. I only knew how to use the microwave, not the oven so a tv dinner was the best I could cook for food or grabbing something from the fridge or pantry. We didn't have much food here with Dervish gone so I waited for Grubbs to get back from the store with snacks and dinner. My stomach was rumbling already from the long wait and I was beginning to get worried he might have been attacked on his way there or back since he was long since due to return.

The walk home from the market brought me at least some peace. I often didn't get time to myself, it was either a fight to the death against demons... or let's face it more Demons. The fact was, now that I was alone... I could feel emotion's welling up inside me. It wasn't long after my half brother...Bill-E had passed after the occurrence in the cave that me, Bill-E and my friend Loch found. The worse thing about that... was I was the one to end him... me... his own brother for god sakes! And that's not half of what's happened. I'm now living with 16 hundred year old girl named Bec. She was the one who 'took' over my dead brother's body and carved it into her own. At first I didn't like it, I hated her for her insolence. But now, I've come to give her a chance. I just hope it's for the best.
I stop for a moment taking in the large L shaped mansion that my uncle owns. It wasn't just us now. Shaking my head before I get into another long day dream I set inside the mansion. I take a look around, not sure why, everything's normal. But I guess after battling demons and fighting non-stop you get nervous at times. I hold up the bag I brought from the market, carrying a few food items and drinks for me and bec, and walk into the kitchen placing it on the round table. "Hey I'm Home!" I call. I sit. and I wait.

I heard the door open and shut and Grubbs walk into the kitchen with the bags.
I said loud loud enough for him to hear and clicked off the tv meeting him in the kitchen. He didn't buy a whole lot, we had to spend money wisely since neither of us were working and Dervish wasn't here to make ends meet. I grabbed the juice out of the bag and stabbed the top of it with a straw and sipped it out quickly since I was rather thirsty. No news from the others yet but these days were getting longer and longer...I didn't belong and I could tell Grubb's agreed on that, even if he was trying to give me a second chance. In a way I could understand how he felt. Loved ones dying. He lost his brother like I had lost my entire clan back in my century. I missed Goll, the man who acted like a father to me. Banba my mentor. Hell, even Drust my male mentor even if he did try to murder me in the end. I was thankful Bran was there who saved my life before he killed me. I missed him too. He was the only one still alive from my era but he was in the Demonata with the rest of them. I wondered how that was coming along...
I ate my food silently at the island in the kitchen, sitting on a stool and looking down at the tiles like a zombie, lost in thought. "What if we go back...?" I didn't look up, I was too zoned out from my own thoughts. I couldn't live a normal life here even if I wanted to, there was still demons to kill but I knew our job was to stop them here. That was up until some kind of sound echoed through the house like a loud screech. It came from upstairs. I looked at Grubbs then up at the ceiling.
"What was that?"
I said lowly but I heard laughter sounding out. Now I needed to investigate so I grabbed I silently crept up the stairs, ball of energy in my hand prepared for whatever it was. Once up the stairs, I heard foot steps in Dervish's study, but it didn't sound loud. Dervish had boots and made loud thumps. Whoever this was had smaller shoes and light feet. I waited around the corner, wondering if Grubbs wanted to be the one to kick the door open or me. From my angle I could see the door cracked. It was a tall demon walking around, looking at the books on the shelves. He had to be a demon master if he could get through to our side. Was it using a host? Its tail stuck out of its trousers and the horns on its head were apparent.

I ate in silence, it was awkward around Bec, I admit that. It wasn't like we had a lot to talk about... even if we are centuries off from each other, you'd think i'd have tons to talk about like 'what was it like when you lived in a clan?' or something like that. Truth is, I could see she missed it. She wasn't meant for this world now, I could tell she had loved ones before... I was about to ask is she wanted some more then Hearing her question I bolted my head up to the ceiling and frowned "I don't know..." before i could answer again she was off, 'curiosity killed the cat' my Mother always use to say... and my gut feeling was that we are now the cats...Meow...
I crept up the stairs just to the side of bec, I didn't like the thought of staying behind her like a coward... well i'd like to think that. I knew it wasn't Dervish, he was too loud when he was in his study, with the large boots and thumps he made it was like a Circus in the study at times. I stopped just a bit infront of bec and squinted trying to make something out in the small crack in door. Sadly from here I couldn't make out a bloody thing. I turn to the small girl beside me and whispered as softly as I could "can you see anything?"

When the demon started coming closer I quickly grabbed Grubb's shirt and used a spell to make us invisible. Just a few seconds after the demon exited the room and walked past us. Grubbs got his answer on what it looked like. It stopped before the staircase and sniffed the air looking back towards the bedroom door with its fiery red eyes and dark large pupils. Now that he was close enough I could get a good look at him. Its arms were very long extending into sharp claws with blood spatters on them, a gap where its belly button should be only a concave surface on the inside where a couple apples sat. As if the hole in its stomach was a basket that held items. The demon turned its head and headed downstairs past the living room into the kitchen.
I let go of Grubbs allowing us to be visible again. My heart was beating, it wasn't that I wasn't use to seeing demons but the fact it somehow got inside and was walking around must mean something.
"It couldn't have gotten inside unless it was a demon master, right? Demons aren't powerful to crossover into our realm without a lodestone usually or a window..."
I looked inside Dervish's study then saw there was a symbol on the floor that I couldn't decipher. It was a summoning spell. That's how it got in.
"What are we going to do?"
I looked back at Grubb's nervously. This demon has to be extremely strong if it was able to do this and crossover.

With the demon downstairs lurking about I tried to come up with a plan... which wasn't my best skill. But then it hit me, the demon seemed to be sniffing and looking about, Perhaps it was looking for something in the mansion? If was as strong as a demon master i'm sure Bec's masking spell wouldn't help hide us... But it did... perhaps I'm over looking this... Maybe it's just a demon master who just wants to eat on our tender soft flesh? I look through the gap and see the summoning symbol on the floor. I turn to bec puzzled and nervous "But wait... if that demon master got here via a summoning?... who the hell summoned him?" the question ate at my brain... but before i could get a closer look, I could hear the demon again downstairs... I turn to bec with a pale ghost white face "I don't think the demon is in the Kitchen anymore"

I wondered who on earth could have summoned it. It wasn't Grubbs or me. Grubbs was gone at the store and I was in the living room the entire time. That must mean whoever summoned it must still be in the house!
"You don't have any friends who know your secret do you? Maybe it was the Lambs? But what reason would they have to summon demons if they want to experiment on your lycanthropy curse? Unless they summoned it to kill you or bring you in or something but...if its a demon master they wouldn't do it without a deal..."
I thought about it but then I shook my head.
"Never mind, I don't think it could be that..."
Either way we needed to figure it out quick before it figured out where we were. It probably knew we were in the house and was walking around looking for us.
I quickly pulled Grubbs into his bedroom and started piling stuff in front of the door as quietly as I could so we wouldn't be heard and did a barrier spell that cast over the wood. That way even if it was strong enough to break the door down there would be a magical wall that it couldn't get through unless it was stronger than I expected. I turned back to Grubbs and sat on the edge of the bed.
"We need a plan..."
Normally I was good at coming up with plans but I always had others around me to help give me the spark of idea...This was different. Should we call for help or could we deal with this on our own?
"How long do you think until it finds us? Or..."
now I got up.
"Its not going to the cave to open the tunnel into the demon world is it?!"
I remembered Beranabus awhile ago saying he cast protective spells over it to ward out demons, but that was for lesser demons. Was this demon powerful enough to get through it?

The thought of opening the tunnel made my stomach turn... it brought back the memories from the last time, painful, horrific memories of my now gone Brother Bill-E. "Well... seeing as it is here, Beranabus must of be able to detect it by now and perhaps he's on his way?" I look towards the door "but if your right... we should beat it there before it find's us" I turn and look towards the window of my bedroom. "Come on" I look at Bec before quickly and quietly going over to the window... I try hard to keep the sound low as I lift the window... wincing every time I hear a small hiss of the hinges. Slowly, I creep out of the window quickly grabbing a hold of the water pipe to secure myself "I'll go down and then you follow" I try so hard not to look down, I could my breakfast slowly curdling in my tummy wanting to burst out. I keep a tight grip of the pipe as I carefully climb down it... and to the relief I get when im on the ground is overwhelming that I forget for a minuet the small girl at the window. I take a quick look around in case there's anyone... or more likely anyTHING around before beckoning the girl to come down

(So do you want to bring in Beranabus and Kernel? I can rp Kernel if you want since I know how you wanted to be Bran. xD)
I watched as Grubbs descended down from the window and I followed after him after he gave me the signal that the coast was clear. As I was down the pipe hallway the things in front of the door shattered and went through the window. I quickly moved my head at a downward angle and closed my eyes so it wouldn't cut my eyes if anything else. I then looked up and saw the demon poking its head of of the window staring straight down at me. It was even more horrifying up close.
"Going somewhere?" It muttered in a melancholic tone and frowned. I immediately let go of the pipe and dropped to the ground landing on my back since it was quicker then climbing down. I rolled over onto my stomach then got to my feet grabbing Grubbs shirt and pulling as I ran.
we had to make it to the tunnel if we could before the demon caught us. It was a spell that cast out demons and luckily since we weren't we should be fine to enter. The quicker we got there the better. The demon then stepped one foot onto the railing and sluggishly rest its arm over its knee cap while smirking. "Hehehe this'll be fun." it said to itself.

I don't have to think twice after I spot the demon leering out of the window before I dart right after bec. My heart racing in my chest like a running rabbit... well I guess we are the rabbits and the demon is our fox. "we need to get to the cave! If anything that will be where beranabus and Kernel will go first!" I face bec and nod in the direction of the cave. I turn back to see the demon coming up close behind us, sheer death in it's eyes and I gulp before shaking my head and turning away from the demon to concentrate on running

(Bro...Don't even go there. xD Sorry I haven't been on hun, I was at Con! As you probably saw from my DA pics I posted lol. I TROLLED SO MANY PEOPLE. >:3)
After so much running we make it to the cave just in time as I shove Grubbs into the hole making him fall from the small cliff to the bottom. I stumble in after him and fall onto my butt luckily. When I look up I see the demon looking through the hole of the cave down at us but won't step any farther. It observes the spells surrounded the cave looking left and right and running its long fingers along the barrier that only shows its solid form whenever touched. Its finger stinges upon the touch and he backs up. "Do you think this spell will hold me off?" It glimmers with a sparkle in its eye from malice.
"Grubbs! Summon a window linking us to Bran and Kernel as quickly as you can!"
In the meantime I try shooting balls of magic at the demon but it dodges each one but never steps forward.

I wince hitting the floor on my back... OUCH! I give a quick glare at bec for pushing me down the hole but I knew she meant it for a good reason as I glance at the demon above. Without a second thought I sit down and concentrate on a tunnel linking to the old magician and the young Kernel. I turn out the sounds of the demon and Bec's spells to fully focus my thoughts on the tunnel. I close my eyes knowing the panels of lights are coming together to make the window... slowly... but surely. I had to hurry, I felt myself starting to panic. I hear a loud grunt fall back on myself from the shock... expecting to see a giant demon larking over me... Instead I see the old shaggy haired Magician grinning devilishly at me "You miss us Lad?" he said in a croaky but slow voice as he nodded at me by his feet

(Con was awesome! And yeah I did see him there! I saw like...3 different Slendermans. xD Haha NICE. When in October?)
I took heavy breaths once the demon backed off when seeing Kernel and Beranabus arrive and I was able to give myself a break from summoning magic. It was a workout if you had to use it nonstop and with tons of power. The demon scowled and stepped back but instead it sat down on the ground criss crossing its legs and arms folded looking down at us. "Calling on reinforcements? That's not fair game."
"What do you want?!"
I yelled up at him, my knee's hurting from being scraped from my fall. I didn't have the moment to have a reunion with the other two right now. Kernel looked up at the demon who was talking to them and ignored Grubbs and Beranabus talking. It almost looked familiar.
"I remember reading about you in a book once..."
I looked at Kernel surprised, he knew this demon?
"You're the demon named Liamen. You're fascinated by human interaction and especially the females since their minds are so complex. You were said to be around even in the age of Pandora shortly after she opened the box."
The demon's lips curled into a smile and he taped his temple then poked it, bending his long finger inwards. "You're sharp. How did you know?"
"I took mythology class before I became a disciple. I know a thing or two...But I never thought Greek myths tied into the demonata."
"There's lots of things that aren't suppose to interact with another and aren't suppose to know about. Just like humans shouldn't know about us demons but what's done is done." I looked at Kernel then back at the demon and got to my feet now that the demon wasn't trying to enter the cave but was only talking. He wasn't a threat as of the moment...
"So then why are you after us...?"
my question remained.

My mouth was hanging down... I couldn't blieve me eyes.. was kernel ACTUALLY talking, and, dear I say it... Making conversation with a demon?! I know it isn't like a tea party where we all wear formal dress and compliment each others host work... but this is unreal. Beranabus looked at the demon who had now stopped following the young grubbs and bec. He took a glance at kernel and was mighty surprised at his knowledge of mythology "
Aye, a lot of the mythical monsters in myths were more of less from the demonata
" he remembered his childhood, his demonic father, the Minator in the maze. I looked at bec as she questioned the demon, I to wanted to know why he was after us. Beranabus sneered at the creature "That's what i'd like to know as well" he sniffed and walked a step forward "
are you in league with the shadow? Lord Loss?

(Ah nice!
I'm so jealous, he's a pretty good voice actor. x3 I'm also going to another Con this month. It'll be my first time at this one. And sure you can join Amaymon. :3 Oh and if I'm right you told me awhile ago you liked Hunger Games right Grubbs? xD You're going to love this then.)
"Lord Loss? The Shadow?" The demon just laughed and looked down at us. "I actually came here to send a message. There was a reason I was chasing Bec specifically." Now I got defensive, he knew my name too? What kind of message was it? Now that I remembered it, the demon was summoned, he didn't just appear out of a window from the demon world. Someone had to have sent him over, but who?
"What's the message?"
I asked not sure if I wanted to know but I knew I needed to. Kernel was just as curious as to why this was all about Bec or was it because now the demons were interested in learning how she came back to life without completely dying? They probably wanted her power or something else but he listened anyways. "My master wanted to have a word with you...You two know each other. Although he wanted to bring the werewolf boy with you too. He told me once I found you to summon him. Conviniently enough, I can just summon him here because of the tunnel. But you might want to stop this barrier spell for me to do so."
"Like hell she will!"
Kernel yelled. He couldn't trust this demon even if Bec did know his master. If he was of the Demonata realm then there's no way the guy or girl should be summoned. And whatever they wanted, it must not be good.
I had a good idea of who it was now. There were only two men that I knew of the Demon world who knew about me and would be willing enough to even keep in touch. I couldn't even imagine what they wanted but it must be important if they were calling upon me.
"Which brother is it?"
I asked as I tore down the barrier to let the demon inside as he jumped down and stepped forward towards us.
"I think you can guess who." Liamen smiled and began to create a window in front of him to let through his master. He was strong enough and managed to make one quickly due to all the magic down here instead of up on the flat grounds near the mansion.

"Hello Bec, good to see you again."
I said as I walked through the window into Assiah, the human world. The smell here was pungent as usual and very scratchy against my nose. I normally came here to either visit my brother or scourge the human. Oh yes, and the Japanese candy.
"It's been some time since I saw you...How've you been?"
I pulled out a sucker from my pocket tearing off the wrapped and plucked it into my mouth instantly sucking on the apple flavor. I saw Grubbs, Kernel and Beranabus. I didn't trust that magician very well from our last encounter but I gave him my respect for not going insane and losing control of his human half. That took a lot of will power. I looked at Liamen and flicked a finger at his forehead, erasing his memory of the mission I sent him on.
"You did well Liamen, now I dismiss you. Return to Gehenna."
The demon did as he was told and disappeared through the same window that I came through.
"I came on behalf of my own reasons, my brother has nothing to do with this."
I noted knowing Bec was fond of the brother often called Loki and Trickster.
"I need to talk to you about the uprising in demons lately. My father can't seem to get any of them to talk...They are rallying up their numbers for a high superior. Something tells me you know what or who it is...I want to bring you and Grubbistch back to Gehenna with me to get further information."
I didn't care much for the other two but I had a hunch they would ask to come with.

(hunger gamess!!! *w* and that made me laugh so much!!! yeah but i didnt see him DX)
I watched the new figure come out of the window and started talking to bec. My mind was blown, so much happened in these few seconds that im not even sure what is what. I took in the new figures features and what he looked and sounded like... but I was snapped into reality hearing him mention my name... he knew my name as well? how was this possible? I couldn't stay silent forever
"Wait a minuet! just who the hell are you anyway?"
I gave it some attitude to try and make myself known to the two who were chatting.
"Uprising? what in merlins beard you talking about?!"
the old man with shaggy hair raised his voice.... demons uprising again? what for now? to be honest he was already high up in his quest to find the shadow and NOW theres a demon asking for bec and the boys help against them... something didn't tick well for him

"Is this about the shadow that's been talked about in the Demonata? The one that's been promising the demons what they want?"
I asked. I couldn't think of any other type of uprising in the Demonata. If there was one then Amaymon would know instantly. I didn't visit very often or live there like Beranabus and Kernel so I wasn't sure why he didn't ask those two for help instead of Grubbs and I who barely knew anything. When Grubbs was demanding to know who he was I almost forgot that since the first time they met, Mephisto erased all their memories of him and Amaymon. I was the only one who's memory he didn't erase. It was for the best they didn't remember who they were. If Beranabus found out Amaymon was a son of Satan he wouldn't allow us to go with him and say he's a threat to man kind. But he also wasn't aware that Satan was an even bigger threat than the Shadow.
"This is Amaymon. He's an old friend of mine. He's just as worried about this threat as we are. "
Now that I thought about it, Amaymon was the Earth King. I bet he could maybe take down the shadow himself, right? Or what about Satan handling it?
"How do we know we can trust him?"
Kernel said defensively. Just cause they were friends didn't mean he could be trusted. He was a demon none the less.

"You can't trust me."
I said bluntly. I wasn't going to lie to the bald head boy when it was the truth. Bec introducing me saved me the time of doing it myself and I didn't really care about introductions anyways.
"Is that what they are calling it? I've only heard rumors but word goes that it thinks it can overpower my father...I doubt it but it seems too cowardice to face him. Its likely hiding to grow stronger but it won't do much. Rumors are rumors, no one in Gehenna is stronger than father."
Bec probably didn't tell these measly magicians about Satan. They fought demons all their lives but had no idea that there was a King the entire time that ruled over them all. It was an honor to be in his presence or even die by his hands. His appearance was revealed once every millennium if not even that.
"You all can come with but I only require Bec if anything. I don't like the rest of you to put it simply."
I could care less about the others. They were just a number in the human race, they weren't as important. That wasn't all true, they played a very important part but to me it was another story.
"I'll be taking you directly to father to see about leads. Any information you have about this 'shadow' you have been talking about, tell him. Any of you."
The damn magician was ranting again and getting on my nerves. He didn't remember me but I remembered him. If brother hadn't erased all their memories of us then this wouldn't be a problem.
I pointed at Beranabus.
"You are to not attack no matter what your gut tells you. You will not survive no matter how long you've lived and knowledge you contain to defeat demons. Satan is not someone you want to threaten or his familiars. He will destroy you instantly with his azure flames if he so wishes it. You tell him what you know and say nothing more.
"Now, are we ready to go?"

"Your friends with a demon?" I frown at Bec, I admit it took me by surprise but I shake my thoughts away and Look at the tall green haired demon "Your Father? Satan?" the thought of satan sends shivers down my neck but I make out I look tougher than I feel. "I agree with Kernel... WE don't know him, we don't know if he's working for the shadow" looks at beranabus who seems to be more quiet than before... no doubt he's thinking this through... making sure he is always one step ahead like a sly fox

"You don't have to know me to come with. If you'd like I can erase all your memories of me right after but that's your choice. I could care less either way."
I waved a hand back and forth not giving a rats ass about his opinion on my father or I. I then raised a hand to open a window into Gehenna for us to pass through. Unlike magicians or normal demons I am of greater power and do not need to focus on patching one together. For a rank such as I it takes seconds to create one. Turning to Bec I outstretch my hand for her to grab to help her watch her step so she doesn't trip. The others seemed cautious of me, as they should. I didn't much like exorcists and that is precisely what they were whether they knew that or not.

Oh no. He was planning on taking us to go see his father? The king of all demons? Was he mad?
"Amaymon I don't think that's a good idea. I mean...What if he won't listen to the information we give him and tries to kill us? The devil takes no survivors..."
that's what I've gathered from the memories of my hosts body, Billy. All those horror books he use to read and the knowledge of hell he obtained from Dervish.
"Satan isn't going to take it lightly...I've encountered him once when I was with you and Mephisto but..."
I shook my head and sighed.
"I can't gurantee them their safety and I know you don't care about their lives being on the line. I can't let that happen unless they allow it."
I looked over at Grubbs and Beranabus.

Why on earth would Arkansas State University open a campus in Queretaro, Mexico?
This question has been posed many times in recent years. Responses have ranged from explaining that A-State did not have to pay a dime for construction, operation or maintenance of the $100 million campus to describing the broad range of academic benefits this venture will afford the main campus.
However, it was not until the recent grand opening ceremony of Arkansas State University Campus Queretaro that even I fully appreciated the real reason our university is engaged in this endeavor.
Her name is Samantha Morales. She is a freshman student at A-State CQ from Mexico City. Her uncle tragically died in the recent earthquake. She speaks five languages fluently.
Her name is Haley Stotts. She is a senior student and president of the Student Government Association at A-State in Jonesboro. She is from Little Rock. Her grandfather, whom she called Papaw, recently passed away.
These two young ladies are at different points in their educational journey. They are from different countries. They have different skin colors. They speak different native languages. They went to different schools and come from very different backgrounds.
Samantha and Haley had never met or spoken to each other, but when they did first meet on Sept. 21, it was if they had known each other forever. I stood in awe as they hugged and immediately began to talk about their academic studies and social lives. They talked about their majors, how hard certain classes are, and the amount of studying that is required. They exchanged social media contact information and even jointly produced a live Facebook video about their experiences at the grand opening.
The minute these two young people met, it was as if their differences made absolutely no difference at all. They were simply two college students dreaming of a brighter future. They were two young women seeking college degrees in different countries, but both from Arkansas State University.
They were Red Wolves, and that is all that mattered to them.
Too often the focus in this world is on what makes us dissimilar. Political, religious and cultural differences seem to be all anyone cares about. We are too quick to point out how someone is not like us and why that is a problem. Higher education has long prided itself on embracing our differences and binding individuals through common purpose.
I now have hope that A-State CQ can be a vehicle to unite our nations and our people.
A-State CQ is a groundbreaking venture that will undoubtedly change the face of higher education in both Mexico and the United States. The 800,000-square-foot campus is breathtaking, the credentials of the faculty are exemplary, the prospect for enrollment growth and revenue generation is exciting and the partnership opportunities are endless.
However, when I looked into the eyes of our A-State CQ students, none of those things mattered. In those 18- and 19-year-old eyes I saw hope, commitment, anticipation and dreams. I also saw a gratefulness for the presence of Arkansas State University and the realization that this new campus was going to forever alter their life opportunities.
Samantha and Haley made an impression on me that day that will never go away. I left the A-State CQ campus with a renewed sense of understanding for why we are there and why this work matters.
My view of our future is very positive, knowing that what we have in common is what really matters and by bridging our differences and embracing our common purpose we can achieve anything.
I watched these two students talking and laughing, and I have a photo of them in front of the new Student Union. It's a powerful photo and reminder that we all share the same hopes and dreams in life. The next time someone asks me why we are in Mexico, I will just share the photo.
Haley and Samantha have blind-ingly bright futures. They are smart. They are personable. They are passionate about their education.
Thank goodness they can both be Red Wolves. Wolves Up!
Dr. Chuck Welch is president of the Arkansas State University System in Little Rock.

A new exhibition at the Saint Louis Art Museum in St. Louis, Mo., explores Vincent van Gogh's relationship with the French avant-garde in the late 1880s. "Vincent van Gogh and the Painters of the Petit Boulevard," on display through May 13, features more than 70 works by van Gogh and his contemporaries, including Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Georges Seurat. Some of the works have never been seen in the United States.
Designed to take a fresh look at van Gogh's time in Paris and his years in Arles, St.-Remy and Auvers, it explores his interaction with artists he called the painters of the "petit boulevard" to distinguish them from the more established Impressionists of the "grand boulevard." While in France, van Gogh discussed new ideas with colleagues, organized a show of innovative paintings and helped shape the future of modern art in Europe.
Special events include lectures, a van Gogh symposium on April 20 and 21, and French bistro dinners on Friday nights at the museum ($41.95, which includes, besides the three-course dinner, live music and admission to the exhibition).
The Saint Louis Art Museum, 1 Fine Arts Drive in Forest Park, is open six days a week; closed Monday. Admission to the exhibition is $12 (free on Tuesday); advance purchase recommended. Call toll-free 866-846-2368; on the Internet, www.slam.org. Information: 314- 655-5204.

So I know its been a while since I have posted consistently, to my faithful readers I am sincerely sorry, but a lot has been going on these past few weeks!
Here's what's been keeping me busy:
1. I finished my internship at Totem with CAA Magazine at the beginning of June and I officially GRADUATED from the Centennial College Book and Magazine Publishing Program.
2. I landed an awesome part-time internship at 29SECRETS.com with Editor Jill Dunn who has worked for Elle Canada and Glow. Located in Toronto's fashion district, at 29Secrets I'll be helping out with updating and writing beauty, fashion, wellness and relationships content for the site!
3. My boss, Beauty Editor Denise Wild at my ongoing internship at Anokhi has also been keeping me busy. Early June, I worked on a beauty photo shoot for the upcoming Fall issue where I finally got to meet Anokhi's Editor-in-Chief Hina Ansari -a vibrant and intelligent woman- and have been interviewing some wonderful DESI BEAUTY MAVENS for some copy that will appear in the Anokhi issue that drops in September!
4. My fiance and I have been busy planning the details of our south-asian wedding—from sending out invites and finalising our last few vendors. In the next couple of months be sure to stay tuned for details of the most awesome and professional SOUTH ASIAN WEDDING VENDORS in the business that we are using this September!
5. All last week I soaked up the SUN in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with my family for our annual family vacation, We stayed at the RIU PALACE PACIFICO, a beautiful property with great food, drinks and entertainment.
So basically its been a really crazy month! But in all this time I've had a lot of time to think up of great new things to share with all of you. So stay tuned for great beauty product reviews, South Asian – Punjabi wedding info, cultural musings, and my first official blog contest over the next few weeks. As always I will continue to blog about anything South Asian that interests me and my readers so read on and let me know your thoughts!

I love dark clouds. It makes me feel super calm and small...like theres something big and mighty up there watching and somehow protecting us. Except dont make it angry because yknow... thunder and all. Holy shit, its been a month since I last wrote an entry. How are you? The past month has been completely chaotic and busy. I've probably offended a few people in one way or so because of this. But oh wells, you cant please everyone and still remain sane.
Anyway, today she told me about flies and CDs. She said that if you want to shoo a fly away, you just need to point the shiny side of a CD towards it and it will not come near because its afraid of the light. We tried it, but the fly still came. She looked at me and said "I guess its the same with Cancer...."
I started thinking about it but she continued telling me about the Old Lady who stays opposite the house...and how she talks to herself all day long because there is no one to talk to. She talks to the sky. She gets angry and starts complaining about her life really loudly, and then suddenly, she cries. I heard her cry once, wail actually...like how the wind howls when it rains, with the pitter patter of the rain drops echoing her tears and the thunder tearing the sky apart mirroring her anger. I asked H why the Old Lady cries so much, she said "I dont know, could be her children...but lets mind our own business."
And then the Old Lady started crying again and in the background, the rain got heavier. Synchronised tears. Goosebumps.

Tools that enable configuration management are required in the toolbox of any operations team, and many development teams as well. Although all the tools aim to solve the same basic set of problems, they adhere to different visions and exhibit different characteristics. The issue is how to choose the tool that best fits each organization's scenarios.
