NH Supreme Court to rule on privacy of personnel files
To release or not to release? That is the question before the state Supreme Court right now.
The court will consider whether personnel files - like the ones most of us have at work - are protected or can be made public.
In 2013, Rockingham County Attorney Jim Reams was suspended amid a major investigation of his office after allegations of sexual harassment and mismanaged funds surfaced.
One hundred employee interviews of 74 witnesses were considered for the Attorney General's decision. But what was said remains a mystery to the public.
Now, former Deputy Rockingham County Attorney Tom Reid, the man who served under Reams, has taken his case to the state's highest court, fighting to get that information released.
Reid says the investigation records should be public since voters elected Reams to his position.
But a lawyer for the Attorney General's office says it could set a dangerous standard for future cases which might silence witnesses who would fear being exposed.
"If employees are willing to participate in interviews regarding misconduct, they want to know that what they will be saying is going to be kept confidential," said Frank Fredericks, representing the attorney general.
No charges were brought against Reams after the investigation concluded, and a judge reinstated him. He has since resigned.

A little while ago I made a terrible mistake with my cresties. I felt awful and then I got a lot of hate on the internet over it. I've been deciding back and forth whether to share this incident in another place.
I used a small jar as a cricket feeding container. One of my small cresties went in, got trapped ( somehow was unable to climb out?) and then got dehydrated while being trapped in the jar. Unfortunately during this time I went away over the weekend on a small bike tour, came home late at night exhausted, went right to sleep so by the time I checked on the cresties the next day, this crestie was found in distress trapped in the feeding jar and needed a lot of TLC to come back.
Needless to say, I'd like to prevent such accidents happening again if anyone has any tips?. Preventing any accident would be good so it doesn't have to only incidents over accidently trapping cresties in containers.
For instance, I 'd like to put a moss hide in each enclosure to give them an emergency place to go if they get dehydrated.
The great irony was that I keep small bowls of moss at the bottoms of the enclosures of smaller crested geckos to help prevent dehydration, but it didn't do any good when the crestie got trapped in a jar and was unable to access it.

John Clauß
PhD CandidateDepartment of Energy and Process Engineering
Background and activities
The purpose of my PhD project is to determine the active heating and cooling strategies that are adapted for highly-insulated buildings, with a special focus on heat pump technologies and cold climate. The systems performance will be analysed in terms of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, thermal comfort and robustness for users (each of these dimensions is essential to ensure market penetration, user acceptance and correct operation).
Reducing energy use in buildings is the central part of the efforts to reach national and international targets for improved building energy performance (e.g. Nearly Zero Energy Buildings or Zero Emission Buildings). The main strategy to minimize this building energy use is to firstly reduce the energy needs, such as reducing the space-heating needs using thermal insulation of the building envelope, and secondly to implement energy-efficient systems to cover these limited needs. New buildings concepts are thus consistently based on highly-insulated building envelopes where the space-heating needs have been drastically reduced (e.g. passive house level).
The Energy and Indoor Environment group has a well-established expertise as regards energy supply systems and services in buildings. For instance, the group is strongly involved in the Norwegian FME research centre on Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB) (http://www.zeb.no) as well as in various IEA Tasks or Annexes.

Six Tips to Prevent Back Injuries at Work
To help reduce your risk of sustaining a back injury at work, you first need to understand the factors involved with this type of injury. There are four work-related factors that can lead to back pain, which include force, repetition, posture and stress. For example, if you have a job where you perform repetitious tasks, it could lead to muscle fatigue or injury. However, by following the steps recommended by MayoClinic.com, which are summarized below, you can avoid injuring your back in a work accident.
Stay physically fit. Even if your job is physical, you can still benefit from regular exercise. Stretching and strengthening exercises for your back can help improve the muscles and reduce the likelihood of a back injury.
Watch your posture. Your mother may have persistently told you to stand up straight, but there is something to that directive. Poor posture can place stress on your back. Leaning back and slouching can exaggerate your back's natural curves and lead to muscle fatigue.
Lift the right way. According to MayoClinic.com, there is a right way and a wrong way to lift and carry objects. Your legs should be doing most of the work, not your back.
Evaluate your work area. Take a look at your workspace and see if there are modifications that you can make, which would limit force and repetition on your back. For example, if you spend a lot of time on the telephone, consider using a headset.
Change your position often. If you have a job that requires you to sit or stand for long periods of time, you need to shift your position frequently. You should also take time to stretch your muscles.
Focus on building coordination. Regular walks or other physical activities that improve coordination and balance should be part of your daily routine.
If you have injured your back at work, you may be entitled to Florida workers compensation benefits. For more information, contact an experienced Daytona Beach workers compensation lawyer at the Law Offices of Johnson & Gilbert, P. A. (386) 673-4412 or (800) 556-8890 today.

Following is the speech (English translation) by the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, at ACCA Hong Kong Charity Fun Day today (December 14):
President Ms Kelly Chan, the Honourable Mr Paul Chan, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to join you in the opening ceremony of the 12th ACCA Charity Fun Day. I am honoured to meet and speak to such a distinguished audience that includes elite professionals from the accountancy and welfare sector. Today is the Charity Fun Day. Let us set aside our busy schedules and join in the fun and games while raising money to help the vulnerable and disadvantaged in our society.
Apart from promoting the professional development of accountancy, the ACCA Hong Kong is also noted for its concern for the welfare of the disadvantaged. And this Fun Day is held to promote social inclusion, as advocated by the Government. All of us, whatever our ranks and positions in society, belong to the same community. We all live together and should support each other with a ready helping hand, particularly to those who needs assistance.
This Charity Fun Day has become an annual gala event of ACCA Hong Kong. In the past 11 years, the Fun Day has supported as many as 23 non-governmental organisations and self-help groups to organise different programmes that cater for the needs of the disadvantaged.
The theme of this year's Fun Day is "Poverty Relief". Of the three designated beneficiaries, two are dedicated to helping the elderly to age in the community. Ageing in place is a fond wish for most elders. To live under the care of their family and kin in a familiar neighbourhood and enjoy their leisure time with neighbours and friends is also conducive to their physical and mental well-being.
Elderly care has always been a key policy of the Government. Our elderly worked hard in their younger days to lay the foundation on which Hong Kong has prospered. Therefore, we have made it our mission to ensure that our elders enjoy their golden years in comfort with "a sense of security, a sense of belonging and a feeling of health and worthiness". But given our ageing population, the demand for community service for the elderly is set to increase in the coming years. Indeed, the Government has made the sustainability of public resources dedicated to elderly services its key policy focus in order to safeguard the quality of life for the elderly.
For 2007-08, the expenditure on social security, elderly services and medical service enjoyed by the elderly came to around $31.7 billion, accounting for 16% of its total recurrent expenditure. In other words, the Government invested $16 in the elders for every $100 it spent, with a significant percentage of which going into elderly care services.
For the current year, we have allocated an additional $60 million in total in recurrent funding for elderly centres to strengthen outreach programmes for singleton and hidden elders and to enhance referral and counselling services for elders as well as the processing of applications for subsidised long-term care services. As a result, we have reached out to and provided appropriate service to more than 7,000 singleton and hidden elders over the first nine months of this year. To further assist frail elders to age in the community, we will add a further 810 places for home care services starting this month, representing an increase of 21% over the 3,780 places now available. There will also be an additional 80 elderly day care places in the next financial year.
Caring for the elderly is not the sole responsibility of the Government but is an obligation for us all. And I must thank ACCA Hong Kong for inviting me to participate in this very meaningful event, which offers fun and laughter as well as an opportunity to help the elderly.
I wish you all a very enjoyable fun day. Thank you.

Acid Reflux iѕ tһe liquid іn the stomach regurgitating іntо tһe oesophagus (gullet). Much оf thiѕ liquid іѕ acid produced in tһе stomach wһіcһ is harmful to tһе walls of thе oesophagus. Reflux һappens to most people but bесause we spend much of our time upright, gravity ensures tһat thе liquid returns tо thе stomach unnoticed. In addition, we swallow frequently whiсһ agаin returns regurgitated liquid to tһe stomach аnd saliva contаins bicarbonate wһich helps to neutralise thе acid іn tһe stomach liquid.
It doesn't do tо ignore repeated instances оf painful indigestion though, as іt соuӏd be symptomatic оf sоmеthіng muсh morе serious. That refluxing acid сan cauѕe lasting damage tо tһe lining оf tһe oesophagus, which, if left untreated, can lead tо оtһer conditions.
A friend relates tһat wһеn ѕһe was а child, her father wаѕ аӏwaуѕ chewing оn rennies, a wеӏӏ knоwn antacid іn the uk. He used to ѕaу thаt а good belch wоuld cure tһе indigestion. It latеr turned оut tһat hе һad а stomach ulcer. Despite that, wһеn my friend, in turn, started suffering from frequent indigestion, sһе toо chewed on the rennies and went аbоut һer business.
Eventually, sһе realised tһat thе extent оf tһе indigestion couldn't bе normal sо ѕһе consulted һer doctor wһo referred her tо а specialist fоr аn endoscopy.
An endoscopy іѕ а procedure wһerebу аn endoscope, a thin, lighted tube, іѕ inserted dоwn thе throat. The endoscope transmits images оf the oesophagus, stomach, аnd duodenum, enabling tһе specialist to identify problem areas and, іf necessary, obtain biopsies. The endoscope іѕ uѕuаӏӏу inserted whіlе tһе patient іs undеr sedation thus avoiding thе gagging reflex.
To return to my friend, а hiatus hernia was diagnosed. A hiatus hernia occurs wһеn tһe upper part оf tһе stomach pushes tһrоugһ tһе opening іn tһe diaphragm wһerе tһe oesophagus connects witһ thе stomach, allowing thе acid frоm tһе stomach to reflux. Fortunately, tһiѕ waѕ a small hiatus hernia, which соuld be easily treated wіtһ a course оf medication.
A couple оf years wеnt by witһ оnӏу minor instances of indigestion, then my friend started tо experience occasional bouts оf verу severe heartburn and sickness whісh ѕhе treated wіth tһe usual array of antacid preparations. Suddenly, оne day sһе woke uр with a severe pain in һеr lower stomach wһiсһ didn't respond to tһе usual remedies and in аny event, didn't resemble anу of tһe normal symptoms оf acid reflux.
A visit to thе doctor аnd my friend found һеrsеӏf hospitalised for tests wһich revealed tһаt the original small hiatus hernia wаѕ larger and bleeding and hаd lead to gastritis (inflammation of thе stomach lining) and duodenitis (inflammation оf tһе duodenum), botһ caused bу an infection with the helicobacter pylori bacteria. This bacteria іs extremely common, thought tо infect 70% of thе world's population, аlthougһ mоst people do nоt display anу symptoms оf tһе infection.
The moral of tһis story іѕ "don't ignore persistent acid reflux, it mаy bе much mоre tһat just indigestion".
Watch оut for my next article on the treatment of acid reflux.

If you've recently 'pretzeled' one of your bike wheels you're certainly not alone. We have customers come in pretty much daily with damaged wheels, or wheels that have simply been ridden hard and long enough that they're worn out, whether that means broken spokes, untrue rims, or grinding hubs. In some cases we can fix the wheel, but if the rim is really bent out of shape or if the hub is really spent than it's usually less expensive to replace the whole wheel with a new, prebuilt one than to rebuild what you've got.
That's why we have a basement full of new wheels. We have road bike wheels, 29er's, 26 inch, rim and disc brake wheels, freehub, freewheel, and single speed wheels, and even coaster brake wheels in stock, and of course we've got them in all sizes for both front and rear. Most of our wheels range in price from approx. $50 to a little over $100 each. Of course we can also build you a new wheel from scratch with the hub, rim, and spokes of your choice (in which case the cost can go as high as you want), and we usually have a few prebuilt higher end wheelsets to choose from as well, but most of our customers simply need a relatively inexpensive prebuilt wheel to get them back on the road.
In most instances we can swap the tire and rear cassette (if applicable) in just a few minutes while you wait, so if you have a damaged wheel we can usually get you back on the road right away. If we think we can fix the original wheel instead of replacing it we usually have to keep it for a day but we'll still get you out there again soon.

Many people agree that cooking skills are some of the most difficult to master. This article contains numerous tips to help you cook top-quality dishes.
If you want to start cooking more, go to the bookstore or library and get a cookbook of simple and basic recipes that appeal to you. Try some recipes and be patient as you develop your skills.
You should store your spices and herbs in a cool dry space out of direct sunlight to avoid flavor loss. If they are exposed to light, moisture, or heat, they will lose much of their flavor. Generally speaking, properly stored herbs and ground spices can keep a good portion of their flavor as long as one calendar year. Whole spices, on the other hand, can retain their freshness for 36-60 months. The freshness can last longer if they are stored correctly.
Overdo it a little when you bake a pie crust. Your objective is to cook them past the point of being pale blonde, to the point where they become a golden caramel color. When you see the golden color it indicates carmelization, which lends a crisp, sweet flavor to the pie crust.
Having knives that are very sharp is essential when cooking. Dull knives not only are ineffective, but they're also dangerous! It is easy to cut yourself if you are using a dull knife than slicing it with a very sharp one.
If your recipe calls for slicing meat very thin, you can do this most easily by partly freezing the meat first. This technique is especially useful for the meat slicing styles typically used in Asian cuisine. By partially freezing the meat, it can be sliced with much less effort and with little damage, too, as the fibers will will be less likely to tear. To ensure the meat cooks evenly, you must let the meat strips thaw thoroughly before cooking.
Do you find yourself throwing away molded fruits a lot? Can you cut out the rotten areas or moldy areas and still eat the fruit? It is impossible for you to save fruit that has already begun to rot. Rid yourself of this fruit. The mold can run deep and can make you sick if eaten.
Want to add more protein to your diet? Consider incorporating beans and tofu! You can buy these in almost any grocery store. Fry up the tofu with seasonings to get a great meat alternative. You can boil the beans with a bit of herbs to give the protein more flavor.
Many use a good number of apples for baking and cooking throughout fall and winter, but if improperly stored, they will spoil quickly. Store them in your fridge or basement, in plastic bags that are loosely tied, as they tend to spoil in dry warm areas. But remember that one bad apple really does spoil the bunch; check on them regularly.
If you are preparing pumpkins for a meal, position the pumpkin so it is sitting upright, then cut it into two equal halves. Place them upside down on different baking sheets. Add a few tablespoons of water to the pan and roast the pumpkin for one hour in a 350 degree oven.
Fresh Ingredients
If you are having people over to your home to eat, and you are including a salad with the meal, allow your guests to put the dressing on themselves. Some people like more dressing on their salad than others do, so it is better to let them add the dressing themselves. You should also provide a large variety of dressings to serve your guests.
Fresh ingredients are always preferable to dried or frozen ones in all of your recipes. Fresh ingredients are often inexpensive, and can help bring a lot of flavor out of your dish.
If your time is short when making a roast, speed up the process by leaving in the bone while cooking. It will cook faster because the bone will evenly distribute the heat inside your roaster. As soon as your roast has finished, simply slice around the bone before you serve.
You can make a lot of preparations when you are cooking to make it easy and fast. Examine recipes and identify which preparations can take place well in advance without risking spoilage. There are a lot of things you can prep the day before you need to cook. This can make harder recipes easy, and complicated ones a fun, fast experience.
It is important for every cook to have their cooking supplies organized. If you are disorganized, you won't know where to find the cheese grater or the spatula when you need them. Store items of a similar nature together. For instance, spices can be placed in the same compartment.
In a lot of cases, burgers will become stuck on the grill, and forcibly removing them will make them all misshapen. To prevent this in the future, brush a bit of vegetable oil onto the grates before adding the food.
Many herbs and veggies make odors on your cutting board no matter how many times you clean it. Mark the end of your cutting board with indelible ink to remember which side is which.
By doing this, you are guaranteed fresher fruit throughout the year. As a bonus, you can enjoy fruits that aren't available year round.
When cooking with fresh herbs like parsley or dill, bunch them together and cut them with a pair of scissors. This practice does not get herbs wet like chopping would, and makes them generally fluffier and lighter.
If you have a tight deadline to cook a roast, leave the bone in the piece of meat. If you leave the bone in, the meat will cook quicker. This is due to the fact that once the bone is heated it will help cook your meat from the inside out. When the meat is fully cooked you should just cut the meat off near the bone and then serve.
Use a paper towel to blot your ground meat before cooking it. Blotting the moisture off of your ground meat is definitely always a great idea. If you do not do this, the moisture will be released as it is cooking. It will begin to sizzle. This will cause the ground beef to steam, instead of searing.
Keep those turkey leftovers after the big meal. Instead, slice up the remaining meat, put it in a plastic freezer bag or airtight container, and store it in your freezer. Keeping the turkey in the freezer allows it to stay fresh for a couple of weeks, and then it can be used for sandwiches or in a salad.
Creativity in the kitchen can be exciting. Following a recipe exactly is boring and stale. Sometimes if you add a little extra, or refrain from using an ingredient you do not really enjoy, you can turn an ordinary dish into something extravagant. That makes a person a great cook!
Replace your spices every six months at the very least. The flavors of spices fade just a few months after opening the container. If you find yourself buying a spice that you aren't going to finish, split it and give half away to a friend.
Take care of wooden cutting boards properly. Exposure to moisture or dryness can damage a wooden board easily. Never immerse the board in water, rather, sponge it off with warm, soapy water. If your board becomes damaged, use an oil consistently that is made for wood boards. After oiling, allow the oil to soak in and the board to dry before using it again.
If you have bought fruit that is not ripe, put it in a plastic bag with holes.
As some fruits become more ripe, they can produce ethylene gas. If you put them in the bag with holds the air will go through the bag, and the gas will stay in, helping the fruits retain their wonderful taste.
"Trussing" is the term used to describe the process of using string to tie the turkey. It pulls the legs and wings close against the bird, which helps the turkey to cook more evenly. If you don't truss the bird, the outer extremities of the legs and wings will become overcooked while the remainder of the turkey is still undercooked.
Stay organized when you are preparing a meal to avoid kitchen catastrophes. You can be more productive, if your cooking station is well organized. Being unorganized can cause you to lose ingredients or tools that you need when you are cooking. This can cause a meal to be ruined which will put the money you spent on ingredients to waste.
See to it that your herbs are stored in a dry, cool and dark area. Your spices can become less spicy if you expose them to humidity, heat, or light. This will ensure your spices will not be as good to use.
Put your fresh herbs together in a bunch and use kitchen shears to cut them all at once. This makes the herbs fluffier and lighter, and not wet like they would be if they were chopped.
Measuring and chopping ingredients before you begin cooking can save you time. You can frequently get your ingredients ready one or two days before you cook your meal. In some cases, you will find the longer preparation window will make your end result a flavorful masterpiece. Once you develop this habit, you may never go back.
Cutting Board
Don't tr out new recipes when you are cooking for someone you want to impress. Whether preparing food for a boss, in-laws or a brand new love interest, you want your cooking to wow them. Your guests will be more appreciative of a simple but tasty meal that you already know how to prepare well.
It is important to properly care for your wood cutting board if you want it to last a long time. Excess moisture, heat and dryness may cause a wooden chopping board to split and warp. The correct way to clean a wooden cutting board is to use a damp, soapy sponge or cloth to wipe it clean, rinse with boiling water and towel dry. You should apply oil to a board that is damaged, or to an undamaged board which you want to keep in pristine condition. Let it dry for a while after oiling.
Cooling racks that stack on top of one another can be a handy thing to have in your kitchen. This will save you space, especially if you are planning on baking a lot of cookies. Therefore, stackable cooling racks allow you to capitalize on your limited counter space. Stack your cookies vertically until they cool off, and use your work space to prepare something else.
There are number of ways that are easy to prepare a better tortilla. You can heat the oven to 350 and place the tortilla right in the oven on the rack. Grill tortillas by putting them on the grill plates right above the flames. You'll notice a fresher, more enjoyable tortilla than by just throwing them in the microwave.
Many people tend to get stressed out when they have to cook for a family gathering, especially if there are going to be a lot of people attending. Give yourself a head start by doing as much as possible beforehand. This way you won't be overwhelmed and flustered by all you have to do on the big day. Cutting vegetables, marinating meat and mixing dips a day in advance will give you more time to enjoy your guests and decrease your stress level.
When cooking different types of meat, always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. There is a temperature that is recommended for the different types of meat that indicates it is safe to eat. If meat is under cooked, the bacteria in the meat can be consumed, which could result in illness.
Do not start cooking until you are certain you have all the necessary ingredients. By doing this, you won't be in the middle of a recipe and realize you're missing a vital ingredient. You may be able to find a suitable substitute in the pantry but it's better to have the proper ingredients.
As stated, you can improve on your cooking by following the tips listed above. Now that you have a bunch of knowledge, all you need to do is get into the kitchen and start cooking up some great meals! Now that you have more know-how, you are sure to make dishes that will please anyone's palate.
Dark, leafy greens tend to be healthy, but it is rather stressful to prepare them. Discarding the touch stems can be time consuming. An easy way to do this is to fold the leaf lengthwise, then break the stem off from the center. Another way is to cut out the stem from the folded leaf with a knife. When you unfold the leaf, you will have a perfect leaf with no stem.

In the middle of the ocean in the Transpide, Pocerni held the gray and blue orbs near his head, eyes closed.
"So do you have anything?" Numer asked.
"Come on, let him focus," Cherry said.
Pocerni opened his eyes. "Got it. Duston returned to the same place. That makes sense. It usually ignored the floggles who worshipped it anyway."
"What and where is Duston?" Cherry asked.
"It's at a mountain jutting out of the sea," said Pocerni.
"I'll bet that's Sea Mountain," Zeth said.
Numer smiled and held up a hand. "See? Mountain."
"No, we're not there yet," said their driver.
Pocerni stared at them. "Right. Anyway, it's like a stone statue most of the time, but it activates when it has to."
"You mean we're fighting a rock?" Numer asked. "Great. How do you hurt rock?"
"With another rock, maybe," Pocerni said. "Our fight had some special circumstances."
Duth_Olec: Everyone knows that you hurt rock with water, grass, or… ground or fighting.
Wally_Plotch: Wait, with what?
Duth_Olec: Look, I admit I may sometimes be influenced by things. But not right now.
Wally_Plotch: But sometimes?
Duth_Olec: No, what gave you that idea?
Wally_Plotch: You just—okay.
They arrived at Sea Mountain, an outcrop of chunky orange and brown rock in the middle of the ocean that rose into the sky. They drove onto a plateau at the mountain's base and up a winding path.
"Lower or higher?" Zeth asked.
"Higher," Pocerni said. "Duston remained near the top of the mountain, so it may have returned up there."
"How would it have gotten there if it's just stone?" Numer asked.
"The ways of the guardians are mysterious, dude," Pocerni said. "They're deities of a sort. The floggles who lived here believed Duston's spirit could travel through stone and reform itself wherever enough stone was."
"No floggles here now," Cherry said.
"This place looks pretty empty now," Pocerni said.
The path rose to the edge of a crater just smaller than a Nottle house. Several crawbers in the crater dug through the rock with drills and chipped away with pickaxes.
"Well, I suppose it's not completely empty," Zeth said. "Hello, down there!"
"What's that? Who's there?" On the path around the crater, a plump stroo wearing a long-billed cap sat on a steel chair raised on stilts. Upon Zeth's shout he sat up with a start, shaking his thick feathers.
Zeth drove to the stroo. "Ah, hello, sir, we're just passing through."
The stroo snorted. "Huh, passing through. Nobody just passes through on this"—he cleared his throat—"empty mountain."
"Passing by, then?" Zeth asked.
Cherry crossed her arms. "So what are you doing here?"
"Just a bit of excavating," the stroo said. "Fossils, old tools, you know, things used by whoever lived here thousands of years ago or whenever." He reached into a cooler next to the chair and lifted a glass bottle. He examined the bottle cap, looked at the crawbers, then grunted and placed the bottle back in the cooler.
"You'd have better luck looking lower down the mountain, then, dude," Pocerni said.
"Bah," the definitely-excavating stroo said, "what do you know?"
"Probably more about ten thousand years ago than most do now," Pocerni said.
"Look, just get to passing through, would you?" The plump stroo waved a wing at them.
"Passing by," Zeth said. He drove the Transpide around the crater to resume the path.
"And by the way," Pocerni said, looking back to his modern-day counterpart, "you should really look into a diet plan."
"Big talk for a thin strip," the stuffed stroo said. "You're as thin as your slube pals."
Numer looked at the crawbers as they passed. It looked like hard work down there, the sun shining overhead. He knew crawbers liked to be near water. He sure couldn't do that work. He wondered how the crawbers could.
They turned a corner, leaving the crater out of sight. Numer had his own work to do, and he was sure he could do it. Probably.
Cherry looked at Pocerni. "I didn't like that guy, either, but that was a bit rude."
"It was?" Pocerni shrugged. "I mean, dude looked what, forty? Maybe even fifty. He looked as unhealthy as a stroo can get. He can't live long like that."
"He didn't look that bad," Numer said.
"Well, compare to Pocerni," Cherry said. "Maybe stroos were a lot healthier in his day."
"Perhaps modern conveniences gave way to modern weight," Zeth said.
"And modern politeness," Cherry said. "Well, I guess you were just trying to help."
"Or perhaps the lost health was the result of a lot of sitting," Zeth said. "For example, take our friend's legs-"
Two pairs of thin, hooved legs dropped onto the Transpide, skittering on the round roof. Numer shouted and backed down flat on his seat. Zeth screeched the Transpide to a stop as the white legs slid off the Transpide onto the path.
The legs were connected to a slender body covered in thick, green protrusions. A slender, brown head with pointed ears and snout emerged from one end, while two longer brown protrusions emerged from the sides like the head. The bush-looking animal flailed its legs, rocking on the rigid, blunt protrusions.
"Why, it's a callare," Zeth said. "We must be nearing the top. I imagine it jumped from a spot above and by sheer accident landed on us."
"What does it think it is, a daredevil?" Numer asked.
The callare flailed its legs until it rolled right off the cliff. Everyone shouted as the animal dropped from sight. Cherry jumped out of the Transpide and peered over the edge.
"Hey, it's alive," Cherry said. "It fell on a small outcrop."
"I'm fine with your eyewitness," Numer said, covering his eyes.
"It hardly looks hurt," Cherry said.
"Ah, yes, that's right," Zeth said. "Those thick bristles are hard enough to cushion falls from steep heights."
"You mean it's not to disguise it as a bush?" Numer asked.
Cherry returned to the Transpide. "Yeah, it just slowly stumbled onto its legs. Must take a tough body to live up here."
Numer looked at the cliff above. "Can we get moving before another one drops on us?" Crawbers digging, bush-animals falling… It took a tough will to survive on a mountain. Numer felt his squishy body was out of place among the rocks. Then again, Pocerni said floggles once lived there, a rather squishy and gangly species. They jumped high, though, so that would help to get up a mountain. Then again, Pocerni said more artifacts would be found lower.
Numer shrugged. Why was he thinking about that? He had to get his mind focused.
Higher up the mountain they traveled, seeing more callares jump along outcrops high into the air. Fortunately no more fell on them. They drove along the outside of the mountain and through a few open-roofed tunnels deeper in the mountain. A few times Zeth sprang the Transpide onto a higher ledge in a graceless mockery of the callares' leaps. Eventually they arrived at a plateau near the peak, a wall of craggy rocks blocking it from view outside. No callares ventured into the area. In the middle stood a tall, black stone, hexagonal around and pointed at the top.
"It's Duston." Pocerni exited the Transpide and walked to the rock. Numer and Cherry followed.
"It's just a big rock," Numer said.
"A big statue," Pocerni said. "It stays like this until it needs to move. Hey, Duston! We're here to challenge you for the orb."
The stone remained still.
"Maybe it just looks like Duston," Cherry said.
"No, it just takes some time to get going," said Pocerni.
Numer sat down and rubbed the rock floor. It was so exposed that there was hardly any sediment, just a few broken pebbles near raised stone. It felt as smooth as glass.
Numer jerked his head up as the statue shook. The top point opened to a hole from which emerged a round stone with some dozen blue-green crystal spikes jutting out. At two opposite corners of the main stone emerged long crystals, two each connected at one end as if arm joints.
"So what, it just sits there?" Cherry asked.
"It allows others to come to it," Pocerni said. "Has little contact with cleeple, so it just sits motionless most of the time."
"Well, let's see what it's got," Zeth said. He fired a burst missile at Duston. The statue move not one inch. "Right, trying to push it around doesn't work. That's not all I have." He fired the Transpide's flamethrower and electric sparks. Still Duston wouldn't budge.
The big rock grabbed the Transpide with its crystal arms and lifted the vehicle over its head. "Oh dear. Oh dear! Oh my! Oh dear!" Zeth screamed as Duston hurled the Transpide. The vehicle careened off a boulder and crashed on its side halfway across the plateau.
"Zeth! Are you okay?" Cherry asked.
"Yes, I think so," Zeth said. "Ouch. But perhaps you will be fine with leaving me out of this match?"
"Leaving you out?" Numer looked at Duston. Its arms returned to a resting position. "I think I'd rather leave Duston out of it."
"Well, let's try another rock." Pocerni lifted a loose rock roughly head-size. He threw it at Duston, and the rock shattered. They stared at the fragments for a moment. "Okay. Any other ideas?"
"I'd try hitting it myself," Cherry said, "but I get the feeling this is going to take something besides brute force."
"Well, we can always try it," Numer said. "Just try something harder than a rock." He wogged to Duston and swung his mallet charged with a particle beam. Numer shuddered like a jackhammer after hitting the stone, not even scratching Duston. It grabbed Numer, and he screamed.
"Let go of him!" Cherry smacked the crystal arms with her tail, and Duston dropped Numer. They backed away from its arm reach.
"Ouch. I was right about that," Cherry said, rubbing her tail. "That thing is hard."
Numer looked at Pocerni. "How did you beat it?"
Pocerni sighed. "Like I said, there were special circumstances for us."
"Us?" Numer asked.
"I said I was traveling with others before," Pocerni said. "One of them turned out to be bad news. Look, that's not going to help us. We need to find some way to get through Duston with what we got."
"Zeth!" Cherry said. "Get over here."
"I'd rather not be in this confrontation," Zeth said.
"I said get over here."
"Okay." Zeth slogged over, slumped. "What is it?"
"You're a professor, right?" Cherry asked.
Zeth mumbled. "Well, maybe I'm not entirely yet a professor, but, you know, I have been working on it, sort of, in a way that's not entirely-"
"Look, we just need some intelligent ideas for beating this thing," Cherry said, and she rolled her eyes and threw up her hands, adding, "so why am I asking you?"
"Oh, I can do that," Zeth said, smiling. "Now, those diamond arms of it look pretty strong. After all, diamond can cut things."
"How do we even know it's diamond?" Cherry asked.
"It has all the appearance of diamond," Zeth said. "Obviously it is diamond."
"You never studied geology, though, did you?" Cherry asked.
"The point is," Zeth said, "we could try knocking its arms into its stone part. Perhaps it will break or at least fall over."
"But how are we going to hit it with its own arms?" Numer asked.
"The Mallet Blaster," Zeth said. "If you charge it up first, we should be able to knock its arms back."
"Great." Numer shook his head. "How do we know it's not hearing us discuss this right now?"
Cherry pointed to the round stone head. "Do you see any ears on it?"
"Ears?" Numer rubbed the sides of his head. "Sure, maybe not visible, although those crystals in its head must be for something."
"Whatever. Just try it," Cherry said.
"Do I have to?" Numer asked. "I'm not sure about this."
"Don't be nervous, Numer," Cherry said. "Go ahead or give me the mallet so I can do it."
"All right, I'll do it," Numer said.
He inched towards Duston. The statue made no move. Numer almost made no move. Like an inchworm, or perhaps more accurately a slug, he edged closer and closer to Duston. Finally he was within reach for a swing. The statue remained still. Numer charged a particle beam and swung his mallet at the crystal arm. The hit slammed the arm into Duston's body, and Numer jumped back.
Duston moved its arm back to the prior position. Still not one scratch.
"Well, that didn't work," Cherry said. "Maybe we could try to knock off those diamonds on its head."
Zeth scratched his chin. "They look rather solid on there. Could we try knocking it over?"
"I don't see that helping," Pocerni said. "It'll just continue to sit there like nothing happened."
"There must be some way to break through it," Zeth said. "Nothing is indestructible at some level, even if that level is slowly removing molecules from it."
"Right, like with water," Cherry said. "Slowly carving through rock over millions of years. Unfortunately, we don't have a million years."
"Well, we have more sophisticated technology than just water," Zeth said. "Maybe enough shots from the Mallet Blaster could get through at some point."
As they discussed their options, Numer wogged around Duston, keeping distance from its arms. The big rock looked the same from all sides; in short, it had radial symmetry, except that's a term used for biological creatures and not rocks.
Numer focused on Duston from top to bottom—it lacked symmetry in that direction. The body was huge. How could anything break through it? It was built like a fortress. The arms weren't a main part of the structure at all.
So the head, then? Maybe Cherry was onto something by knocking the crystals off, but those seemed extraneous like the arms. The main black stone part of the head, though—maybe something could be done to that.
Numer backed up behind Duston. Well, on the side opposite to the others—who was to say what was front and back?
"Well, yeah, something can destroy it," Pocerni responded to Cherry, "but I don't want to say what. Believe me: I got no more idea of what to do than-"
Cherry held up a hand. "Hold on. Numer. What are you doing?"
"I've got an idea," Numer said. He looked around distractedly. "So if it doesn't work and it tries to kill me, be ready."
"I don't think it's gonna try to kill you, dude, just hurl you away," Pocerni said.
"Shouldn't you tell us what you're doing first?" Cherry asked.
Numer shrugged. "Zeth never does."
He sleeged towards Duston and slammed the rock ground with his mallet, launching himself into the air. He dropped down to Duston and smashed the top of its head with his mallet. The force jammed Duston's head into the main body. The crystals on its head burst out through the body like rockets and blew it apart. Duston's body shattered and collapsed into a pile of rubble, which Numer fell into.
"Hah! Now that's what I call using your head, or someone else's head," Pocerni said, pulling Numer up onto his tail.
"That was great, Numer," Cherry said, patting his back. "I can't believe we stood around talking about it and getting nowhere while you just went for it and got it."
"Once again you've proven I gave the right clerpson to the Mallet…" Zeth stumbled, "gave the right Mallet Blaster to the… Wow. Wait, I got it. Gave to the Mallet clerpson… You know what I mean."
Numer shrugged. "Yeah, I was staring at that head, and it just looked like a big button that I could push with the Mallet Blaster. So I went for it." Numer rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, I could have mentioned it, but I figured I could just try it myself."
"Fine with me," Cherry said. "You get a plan, you just go for it."
"I would imagine this as a test of ingenuity," Zeth said. "If Sybius is a test of stamina, then perhaps these guardians are not all intended to be simply a fight."
Pocerni shrugged. "Maybe. Fighting seemed to work for us, anyway, for the most part." He picked up a brown orb in the rubble. "Okay, we only got two more left. I'll use this and the green orb to find the yellow orb, and then we can get the last one, which shouldn't be too hard. After that, well, then comes the hard part."
Numer groaned. "Gee, thanks for the positive outlook."
The slubes and Pocerni returned to the Transpide and drove back down the mountain.
Behind a rock hovered the buzzsaw Sawn, glaring at the slubes as they left.
"Yo, Conqueror; a report," Sawn said. "Looks like those slubes are collecting some sort of orbs. Guess they plan to confront Darmenzi with them. Should I pilfer them?"
"Still do not engage," Conrad ordered. "This is our chance to ruin that two-faced monster, but we'll only get it by keeping tabs on those slugs. These orbs just may prove to not be a false promise like the crystal was.
"No, stealing the orbs now will only waste time, time they will spend trying to get them back while more orbs remain. When we can confirm they have nearly all these orbs, we will show them that they have collected them for us, and we will swoop in, steal the orbs, and strike Darmenzi."
"Whazzat?" Sawn asked. "Sorry, spaced out."
"Just keep following them, you zipping twit!" Conrad screamed.
Sawn twirled sideways. "Right, got it, going now." The dizzy buzz saw zipped after the Transpide.

I was skeptical at first that this tea would do anything, but after the first few of days of drinking this each morning my appetite has decreased dramatically and I have increased energy

If the grind was a little more consistent this would definitely be a 5 star product. Similar mixtures run much more per serving. It has a mild flavor and tastes great both hot and cold. Add honey for a little sweeter or lemonade for a great Arnold Palmer.
Posted by Unknown on 10th Aug 2015
This is my second time ordering the tea, and the first time I had to call to get me order shipped after paying express shipping. The second time (I should have learned from the first) I never got the tea. Called week after I ordered and person stated it was not shipped and would ship that day, two days later, no confirmation of order shipped. Called establishment three times, and no return phone call. I have no tea, and they have my money :(

I don't know about the slimming qualities of this tea. As I have just started drinking it this week. But the taste is great. Mild green, hint of fruit, lightly sweet. Very enjoyable.
Posted by Unknown on 30th Oct 2014
Love sliming tea! I drink 3 cups a day, as it gives me the energy to follow thru with my exercise goals. Plus I feel the slimming effects almost immediately.

Axim Hospital bans political activities
The management of the Axim Hospital in the Western Region has banned political parties from campaigning for votes at the facility, as the December 7 elections draws near.
It cautioned staff of the hospital to desist from political activities and instead concentrate on their mandate of providing the public with health care.
The Hospital Administrator, Nana Ntim Agyei, in an interview with The Ghanaian Times, at Axim, said that management of the hospital had cautioned staff to desist from active political party activities at the hospital, to enable them to focus on their core mandate of providing health care to the people.
He said the authorities of the hospital had issued a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) asking staff to eschew partisan politics, and to refrain from using political party colours or paraphernalia while on duty.
Nana Agyei said the MoU indicates that "As qualified health care providers, you need to rise above partisan politics and offer services to your clients. You are obliged to offer good services to the people of the country.
He cautioned the workers not to deny any person health care because of his or her political affiliation and asked the staff to comply with the MoU.

Short Story: Haunting Catherine Blaque 1
A work of fiction by Erin LeFey Copyright 2011
The year is 1950. Mrs. Blaque is presently a ward in wing C of Valley Springs Mental Hospital. No one knows what drove her mad exactly, but in the Fall of 1947 she was admitted, quite delusional and unable to care for herself. She was rambling on hysterically. She could not be subdued by the authorities, so they brought her here. After a brief medication induced sleep, she woke up and spoke not a word to anyone, ever since. The reason for her hysteria, behavior, and silence remain a mystery to this day. A neighbor was just cleaning out the house for resale and came across this diary. Maybe it will shed some light on the events prior to her coming here.
The Notes of Mrs. Blaque
Spring 1946
Dear Diary, Hello out there, Good Morning Book,
I've never written one of these before so let me introduce myself. My name is Catherine Blaque. Let me tell you a little story that will bring you up to date.
Summer 1945, I used to be the fashion! My friends at the marina said so. My husband and I were involved in most of what was going on anywhere in the city, day or night. You see, he had just returned from the war a decorated officer, so we went everywhere together now - finally celebrating our honeymoon in this big city. And we wives of the retired officers had our own little club since we all lived uptown in the finer districts. I loved my life, my husband, our future plans...all seemed to be in order. For years we'd been separated by a big ocean and finally, he was retired, and we were enjoying our lives in the City on the East Coast. We did everything together; all the charity events, the wine and cocktail parties, the little concerts on the harbor.The end of the war changed our lives.
It did change our lives. My husband was driving home from a night out to a charity event when a drunk driver struck his car and killed him instantly. Everything died with him, my whole world. A widow at only 36. The military wives carried me along for a while to events and charities; the wives were so good to me. In
all my lace and pearls and very finest black gowns, I'd go to all the galas to
help raise money for the City, for a Charity, for any cause really – I knew
them all! I was the widowed wife to their once rising star, and he left me a
generous amount! All I needed to do that
year was to dress in the latest fashions of demure mourning black with sparkle
and pearls to shine with the rest of the wives of the officers. I grieved,
publicly – at every event that year. It so helped me get over losing my dear
husband and would help to secure my future which was now so up in the air! What
was I going to do? I decided when the season was over that I needed to be alone, away from all of it. I'd stay here; my life was here.
So, at the end of the summer, I faded from limelight as was my intention all along. For I did miss my dear husband; I just needed a house in which I could live alone in peace. These days there were many deals on land Northeast of the City, Charm City, you know. I could find an amazing old house on a beautiful parcel of land for not a lot of money since I didn't have to be in any specific neighborhood. My real estate agent said that it helped that I wanted something more secluded.
So last fall, A new development was just going up! Five acre parcels - Big beautiful houses were being built on them, and on one stood the original Old Victorian House. It had been restored but was the original manor to which all of this land used to belong. I wanted to see the old house.
We drove down a long winding road to get there. Then suddenly we were in a large clearing and all around us were land sites roped off. Way in the back I could see her standing, the majestic Lady who commanded the attention of the entire piece of land. This was to be my house, I could feel it already. She stood larger than she was, with a dignity that far exceeded her frame and a countenance of pride and confidence whether or not she was secure in it. I needed this house already.
As we pulled in front, I could see her paint was cracked and chipping from the hot sun, but walking up those front steps, a new world was opening up to me. There were rooms upon rooms of furniture, wall hangings, silver, a piano! It looked absolutely grand. My agent explained to me that the poor widow had died in this house and the furnishings would convey in the sale, unless they were not wanted of course. I felt as if I was the one who had died and gone to heaven. I could move right in and just send our old things to the auction. I would have a new life here.
The seasons have turned, and I've settled into the house now. I've gotten to know it, and it's gotten to know me. There is a strange life to these walls, I don't ever feel as if I am alone. But I'm not sure yet how I feel about that. I feel whatever is here is keeping a comfortable distance from me, but wants me to know it's here. Listen to me! I'm an educated woman! This is the first time I've lived alone, I'm sure this is just my imagination.
I'm keeping this diary now because I feel the need to write suddenly. Its morning, and usually I have a few hours of peace in the early morning. There is something strange about this house, or me and this house - it can't be just me. Things are not where I am leaving them. I hear voices crying out to me in the night. I don't tell a soul because no one would believe me and besides, if they did, my property value would go down. This is my investment, my future. I may just be having too many cocktails in the afternoon and letting my imagination run off with me. It is lonely back here watching all the new construction from my front porch while nestled back quietly farther in the trees. Those houses seem to all sit in a field of sun while I dwell in the shadows of this swamp.
I'll be writing in here every now and then as a sort of diary. I've never had one before. I guess its never too late to start.
Ciao Bella, Catherine

Article Title
Sustainable Farm Practice: Study of Total and Soluble Phosphorus in a Poultry Farm Equipped with Heavy Use Area Protection Pads, Dover, Delaware
Poultry litter contains high concentrations of water-soluble phosphorus and is readily transported in the farm run-off. This research aims to study the efficiency of heavy use area protection (HUAP) pads in decreasing litter spillage and phosphorous run-off at a Delaware poultry facility. Soil and water samples were analyzed for pH, total phosphorous, orthophosphate, and Mehlich III phosphorous throughout 2012. It has been hypothesized that the efficiency of HUAP pads would be reduced over time. Mehlich III phosphorus ranged from 22.82-200 mg/kg at site I, and 48.17 – 1179.6 mg/kg at site II, which were greater than the optimal soil concentrations. However, in the run-off, orthophosphate and total phosphorous levels were less than 0.05mg/L, and below U.S. EPA limits. This confirms that the HUAP pads, along with vegetative buffer strips, restricted the seepage of phosphorous into the run off. The results suggest minimal loss of nutrients from poultry house to water bodies.
