Parents and guardians can be rest assured that their children travel safe with Downbelow's international standards!
For a 1-day program, International School Nan Jing from China witnessed the coral reef of TAR marine park through our Snorkel Safari program, and also tried the worlds' longest island-to-island zipline! And there are still plenty of adventure activities to explore around Sabah for our travelling groups, such as white water rafting on Padas River! Many of our group clients are from schools and universities, because the reputation of safety at our Downbelow operations is stellar, and that's the most important aspect when organising activities for children and young adults.
For more information on specialised group programs, our Downbelow Travel Centre experts have years of experience to create an itinerary to provide a unique Borneo experience!
At Downbelow Marine and Wildlife Adventures, a very special event took place – Boy Scouts Singapore Troop learn SCUBA for the first time at our Gaya Island beach house!
While learning to scuba dive during the day on our PADI Open Water Diver course, the 12 Boy Scouts enjoyed camping overnight at our premier PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre too. Camping where their many island activities will be conducted means they make the most of their time to complete as many new skills as they can for merit badges (and they completed many!), such as a beach clean with our island staff team of PADI professionals to learn about marine conservation. Some will enjoy snorkelling, as will their 4 Boy Scout leaders (also their adult chaperones on their trip), and everyone will have the chance to experience the worlds' longest island-to-island zipline!
Most important with group travel is safety, especially when the group participants are young. Contact our experienced Downbelow Travel Centre experts on an itinerary suitable for a group of younger travellers to experience Sabah, Borneo.
Salt Trails adventure for Expedition Borneo is the safest 'Bear Grylls'-esque experience for our 10 Danes!
For 4 days and 3 nights, our 4th group from Denmark this year experience the last of the adventure activities on their 1-month program that our Downbelow Travel Centre experts personalised for them. Before groups visit Sabah, they are prepared with a set of frequently asked questions to offer answers to any general questions, such as 'Will I be travelling alone?' Teamwork is essential to many of the activities especially river crossings of the Crocker Range Salt trails route, and it would defeat the purpose to even participate – so, no, travelling independently is not the goal on our Expedition Borneo program!
For more information on group travel, get in touch with our experts who have years of experience arranging unique adventures in Sabah, Borneo!
Camps International adventurers' are very lucky to enjoy our spacious PADI Dive Centre to study SCUBA skills to qualify as PADI Open Water Divers!
Our Gaya Island beach house in Kota Kinabalu, is a perfect location for groups of students to spend an adventure during their schools' summer holidays. There's a variety of fun island activities, of which many have never been experienced by our young adventurers' and they not only have the chance to do so, but also to gain a lifetime dive certification!
For our dive operations to maintain its high standards in scuba diving training, safety of our participants is made the highest priority throughout all adventure activities – and this gives them the best chance to learn as much as possible about Sabah!
Contact us at our Sabah Travel Centre, for our experts to create an itinerary for your travelling group to explore Borneo!
No better way for Camps International groups to learn about the environment than getting to know marine life up close in the South China Sea.
The last two groups, 'Epal' and 'Orang Utan', were really lucky to have witnessed so much marine life when completing one of their adventure activities: the PADI Open Water Diver course! And the best part of it all, is the marine life is in its own natural habitat of the sea! Harmless jellyfish crowded around groups of school students and their Instructors in the shallow waters of the sheltered bay where the young adventurers' need to complete the performance requirements to qualify in the entry-level course.
Following their skills practise, boat dives are arranged to visit different dive sites to repeat those mastered skills in an open water environment, and it also introduces them to more varied and different marine life.
The objective of their experience is to spark their interest by giving a value to protecting and preserving our environment – simply: to continue enjoying scuba diving, supporting the Project AWARE movement will affect positive change!
Contact us, at Downbelow Marine and Wildlife Adventures for more information on the conservation and outreach programs our Sabah Travel Centre can personalise for groups.
Cardiff University's tropical ecology field trip group of students explore Sabah's ecotourism through an extra land day trip arranged by our Sabah Travel Centre!
At our partner, luxury Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort and Spa, the Orang Utan Sanctuary educates our travelling group from the UK even further on the benefits of ecotourism in Sabah.
The orang utan primate is an endangered species, whose population is dwindling on the South East Asian island of Borneo! Sanctuaries and rehabilitation centres, such as the one at Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort & Spa and the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre on Sabah's east coast, exist to protect and preserve the endemic breed.
Through an educational video prior to witnessing the 'jungle man' at the feeding platform, the students of Cardiff University were delighted to have contributed their time and money to a worthy establishment who are passionate about our natural biodiversity. And reintegrating orphaned orang utans into the wild is just one trip that focuses on ecology!
Kinabalu National Park, which will be opening its summit trail to the public in September, practices plenty of conservation at its Poring Hot Springs, Botanical Garden and Canopy walkway, all of which our clients can experience on our popular 1-day Kinabalu Park day trip!
For more information on conservation efforts in Sabah contact our Kota Kinabalu HQ, where our helpful experts will assist in creating a suitable itinerary for your Borneo travels!
Cardiff University are back with Downbelow Marine & Sabah, Borneo for a tropical ecology field trip, and this time with students of the following academic year!
To experience Borneo's ecology is valuable for students and professors alike. The rich biodiversity found in South East Asia is paradise for both the budding marine biologist and the seasoned teacher; and Borneo lies within the 'Coral Triangle'!
Many Schools and universities visit our premier PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre to learn the practical skills required of them during their degree courses, which they will then put into practice once their education is complete and they are working in the field. The skills workshops are conducted by resident PADI Course Director Richard Swann and his team of PADI professionals using various specialised equipment for example quadrats, tape measures, fish sizing charts and more …
Changes within the reef over time are witnessed by our team who are always working within the same environment, this makes them Project AWARE & reef ambassadors, and their expertise assists the students to best understand data collected from their underwater surveys.
Go PRO internship candidates completing professional courses, such as the PADI Divemaster or the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) will also benefit when assisting our team of PADI Instructors to organise dive logistics for the students.
For more information on group travel or specialised educational programs with Downbelow Marine and Wildlife Adventures, get in touch with our Kota Kinabalu HQ, where our experts will create a suitable program to explore Sabah, Borneo!
Group travel at our premier PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre where Downbelow PADI Instructors welcome Expedition Borneo group C is a regular event our dive operations look forward to!
Expedition Borneo is a 30-day program to include the very best attractions around Kota Kinabalu and Sabah, one of which is a day trip to explore Tunku Abdul Rahman marine park!
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor Azhar and PADI IDC Staff Instructor Strike have our adventurers' familiarise themselves with the general island facilities because they will soon be back for a few nights of camping. They will camp overnight for 5 nights, and learn to scuba dive on the PADI Open Water Diver course during their days. The opportunity to qualify in entry-level scuba diving is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people, and for many of our past Expedition Borneo participants, they return to Sabah for our highly successful Go PRO internship programs.
Scuba diving leaves such a strong impression on our young adventurers' that a couple even went on to enrol onto our award winning PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) after completing the PADI Divemaster!
Get more details on group travel and recreational or professional scuba diving courses and programs to include in your own personalised program, when you get in touch with our Sabah Travel Centre experts in Kota Kinabalu.
Wildlife spotting in Sabah is exceptional on the eastern coast of the state, and is an experience always best in the wild!
Downbelow's Expedition Borneo program, for our adventurers' who have just arrived in Kota Kinabalu not even a week ago, is a 30-day experience program in which time they will gain an appreciation for the natural beauty in Sabah, Borneo. Ecotourism is our chosen form of responsible travel and tours, and each of the adventure activities of our Expedition Borneo program, are conducted with this as a priority for our clients to appreciate their global footprint is reduced as much as possible!
Along the Kinabatangan River, participants have the opportunity to spot rare and endemic animals, such as orang utan, proboscis monkeys, macaques, crocodiles, and if they are incredibly lucky there are Bornean pygmy elephants (though a very slim chance, because of their low population!)
Boats used for the river cruises do not have a roof, so when Sabah Travel Centre Manager Alice delivers the presentation on their wildlife safari activity, they are encouraged to visit our KK Dive Shop (only next door!). They are advised to invest in a rashguard in particular, which they can use for ALL of their activities – from learning to scuba dive on the PADI Open Water Diver course to climbing Mount Kinabalu!
Get more information on a program we can personalise for your travelling adventure group to explore Sabah, Borneo, when you contact our Kota Kinabalu HQ!
If someone wanted to learn more about themselves, they need to seek those experiences, such as climbing Mount Kinabalu that pushes personal limits!
For our most recent adventure group on our Expedition Borneo program, they have experienced so many activities that are totally far from their comfort zone, which broadens their minds to receive a unique education.
Seeing the real lifestyle of others from a completely different walk of life, such as the local villagers along the Salt Trails jungle trekking route through the Crocker Range is incredibly eye-opening for the young adventurers'.
Climbing Mount Kinabalu is a test of endurance for the participants to attempt, and know that by choosing an eco-tourism operator, such as Downbelow Marine and Wildlife Adventures, they contribute to a worthy cause of protecting and preserving the natural World Heritage Site – Kinabalu National Park!
In a 2D1N standard climbing Mount Kinabalu package created specially to suit our Expedition Borneo program, our Sabah Travel Centre prepares the group for all their adventure activities with plenty of information on pre-travel preparation.
For more information on our various unique educational programs, similar to Expedition Borneo, contact our Kota Kinabalu HQ to receive a bespoke itinerary for your adventure group's needs to travel Sabah, Borneo!

Thomas Keller has recruited Chefs José Andrés and Costas Spiliadis to be apart of New York City's biggest development since Rockefeller Center.
Keller, chef and owner of the renown French Laundry, is curating the dining options at Hudson Yards, which is on track to become one of the best collections of restaurants in the world when it opens in fall of 2018.
Hudson Yards will also be the largest private real estate development in the history of the U.S. Some 24 million visitors are expected annually.
The restaurant collection at Hudson Yards will be comprised of a dozen restaurants including the Spanish modernist fare by Andrés and a rustic Greek seafood taverna by Spiliadis. Both restaurants will be inside the 1 million-square-foot Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards complex.
"I'm incredibly excited to join the roster of amazing talent ... that will bring life to this dynamic new neighborhood," Andrés said in a statement.
Andrés, who has many restaurants nationwide, is famous for his re-interpretation of Spanish food and for popularizing tapas in the U.S. He's also appeared on "Iron Chef America." This summer he made headlines for a spat he had with real estate developer Donald Trump after the Republican candidate made derogatory remarks about immigrants and pulled out of a deal to open a restaurant inside a Trump-owned hotel in Washington, D.C.
Spiliadis, a Greek native known for bringing high-end Greek fare in the U.S., owns Estiatorio Milos restaurants in New York, with outposts in Miami, Montreal, Las Vegas, Athens, and London.

Arsene Wenger has hailed the current youth set up as the best he has had since he joined Arsenal 21 years ago.
Wenger has already forged a good reputation working with youngsters, having promoted a number of them from the academy to the first team in the past.
Our academy has become one of the best under Wenger's tenure and it appears we are yet to actually see the best of the academy.
Despite the illustrious list of youngsters who have worked under Wenger, the manager believes the current crop of academy players are the best he's had in his 21 years at the club.
Ahead of the Carabao cup against Doncaster Rovers, Wenger said:
"They are comparable to the best I've had before – some are really promising. Now we are at a stage to find out if they have the quality and the second step is to develop them by good coaching.
"The third step is to integrate them in first team and that is the most difficult because the level of competition in the Premier League is so high now. This season is a very important one for some of them and this competition (the League Cup) is a very important one for them too."
A couple of these players like Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson are believed to be knocking on the first team door already and are expected to break into the first team in the nearest future.
Alex Iwobi, Hector Bellerin and Jack Wilshere are some of the stars that progressed from the academy to the first team and Wenger will be hoping many more will follow in these footsteps.

FAO: people from elsewhere
not UK/Ireland
where do you live?
how'd you hear about DiS?
I'm from Toronto, Canada.
I cannot remember exactly, but it wasn't even about music. i google'd something and one of the top results was a thread from DiS and there happened to be an interesting conversation going on, so i signed up.
i'm from norway
been in uni in the uk for the past couple of years though and kiiiind of still is. i was told by someone that i knew from another forum that i should sign up.
how long have you been on the forums?
I'm going to guess 5 years.
I first visited DiS when I was googling for reviews of Bloc Party's Silent Alarm. There was something in the review I wanted to respond to, so I signed up. Promptly forgot about the place for another year and a half, before I started posting tentatively in the music forum (newbie phaze) and then a bit more boldly.
Wasn't long before whiterussian encouraged me to dip my toe into the social board by promising that everyone would be nice to me (gullible, ain't I?). My visits to social were initially intermittent, and I spent most my time posting lengthy, dull arguments about the nature of objectivity in the music board, rather than lots of flippant one-liners in social.
Nowadays, I still do both, but I do the latter far more frequently than the former. And judging by this comprehensive history of robluvsnic's DiS visitations, I'm also prone to posting the odd lengthy, dull message on whatever takes my fancy.
and I'm a gonna revoke your twat status if you don't pick up your game, mate
you've been too quiet latelydrakepress this'd this
It's 8:12am
I'm in work a bit earlier than usual today. Had to meet someone at 7:30.
I work in a university
consequently, I have plenty of time available for posting here.
i feel ya.
at first i thought i was suppose to spend 5 minutes thinking of a post-worthy post that would create a stirring discussion. however, soon afterwards i realised i was wasting my time because no one was replying (partially due to me posting at 3am GMT). i still feel subordinate when i post, not sure entirely why because im not a very self-conscious person.
Okay, I lied
there was no explicit promise of niceness, but I like to think it was implied:
Picture me with a David Boon moustache
and you'll have me down to a T.
ahh, it's all coming back to me now
i hate reading my old posts, it makes me realise how ridiculous i am
so you're finally admitting that your crumpet topping preference
is just plain silly.
now who's being ridiculous!?
hint: it's not me
aussie rules, love
rugby's for people who can't hack the physicality and pace of aussie rules.
I don't actually think that
I like footy (aussie rules) but I'm not an avid fan. Other than that most sports don't interest me. Rugby just doesn't entertain me.
Also, in Australia code-loyalty is split with League being the premiere sport in three states (including the biggest state) and footy being played in the other five.
Marysville/Port Huron, Michigan by SARNIA
though I think we've talked about that on tinychat? Live in East Lansing though for uni. Ummmm through another DiSer via last.fm.

Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.
You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.

As time goes on, my European experience seems further and further away. Fortunately, I will be reunited with Jennifer in less than a week and we can reminisce to our little hearts desire, but until then I have found a way to not only remember the amazing times I had, but also keep me busy during these long summer hours….What is it you ask? Scrapbooking!
A high school hobby of mine, scrapbooking has always been an exciting and hands on way for me to remember the amazing memories I have made and preserve them for the future. I can't wait to look back in 20 years with my children and see what amazing places I visited, crazy clothes we wore, and spectacular people I met.
I promised pictures a few posts back so as part of my bargain the following are a bit of my most recent scrapbook creations. Perfect by no means, but they do the trick and provide me with countless hours of activity before I head to work in the evenings.

11 second club mini challenge blog
as many our aware, there's a mini challenge exercise group being set up on facebook. I'm also trying to set up a blog.
One of the merits I hope to achieve from the blog, is build a starting point for where to find answers. During voting period, many many times are the words 'please return to basics' written as a comment. But where do you start?
Now, from this blog, I do not plan to give definate answers. Different people learn in different ways. However, it would be cool to provide for examples the top six places to learn about the bouncing ball. The best books to read? Where to learn about walkcycles both human and animal. Where are the best places to find out about cinematography and staging?? Lip sync??
I'm looking mainly for the sites that really made something click, or were most helpful. As better resources are found, the lesser useful may be replaced.
Alongside this there are regular mini challenges being set up and the finals showcased on the site.
I'm hoping this will work alongside the main site, not against, which is why I havent added rigs like moom etc.
Now I know next to nothing about animation, especially compared to a lot of the animators on here. here is an example of whats trying to be achieved http://11secondclub-challenges.blogspot … rence.html
hope you guys see the potential, would love for some help
Please note, it has been set up with an independant email address, so i have no ownership. I hope it'll not be my voice, but a voice of many and hopefully in time it will support itself.
thank you

This year the Minnesota Legislature will be considering a bill that will ban the use of cell phones in work zones. As BringMetheNews recently reported:
According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, there have been about 26,000 crashes in work zones in the last five years, resulting in more than 4,000 injuries and 41 deaths, KSTP reports.
Although it's a challenge for law enforcement to determine distraction as a crash factor, Minnesota's Office of Traffic Safety estimates distracted or inattentive driving is a factor in one in four crashes.
An Edina lawmaker says cracking down on distracted driving in work zones could make an impact on the number of accidents.
There is a question of whether the law should go further. I use my cell phone when I drive. Could I live with it being banned or at least hands free being required? I think so. There were many years that I drove around thinking CB radios were the height of automotive communications. So we really could live with having to drive and actually pay attention to the road.
The New England Journal of Medicine concluded that :
The use of cellular telephones in motor vehicles is associated with a quadrupling of the risk of a collision during the brief period of a call. Decisions about regulation of such telephones, however, need to take into account the benefits of the technology and the role of individual responsibility.
And the Cell Phone Safety pointed out:
A University of Utah study implies driving while talking on a cell phone reduces a driver's response time to the same levels observed in drunk drivers and "old folks." …. statistics are mounting that suggest distractions from cell phones increase accidents.
Profoundly alarming studies, however, fly in the face of even current cell phone legislation. States that ban use of hand-held phones while driving fail to acknowledge the growing body of evidence that shows, hand-held or hands-free, it's the act of participation in a conversation that's paramount in the cell phone safety debate.
The proof seems to support that more phones simply aren't mixing with driving. It looks like this time the Minnesota legislature is looking in the correct direction. Maybe at minimum, look at incentives to reduce their use.

We recently redesigned the Kicker site.
Kicker is a "non-news, news" source for 14-24 year olds. The site not only offers an important daily story, what to expect in the coming week, but many of the contributors are youths. The site needed a current, edgy and "non-newsy" look to appeal to the right crowd. There also needed to be an easy way for readers to take action and then get involved with a particular issue.
From the site: Kicker is a place where you can "opt out of the crazy news cycle and find out about what's really important. You won't find breaking news on Kicker. Being first is over anyway. Instead, we provide a daily must-read that gives you an overview of the most pressing issue or event of the day, along with ways to go deeper if you want."

Author's Note: Inspired by (an unhardened) Alistair's comment about being terrified to lose Elissa at the end of the game (post ritual) after having defeated the archdemon. In the cut scene, what must have he been thinking as he watched her plunge that sword into the archdemon's neck?
The battle had been fierce upon reaching the rooftop, Elissa un-shouldering her bow to land a mighty, well aimed shot to draw the arch demon's attention. Once achieved, she'd tossed the bow aside and pulled her swords, casting a quick, almost feral grin Alistair's way, before plunging into the melee.
Fast and fierce, the quartet worked like magic even as Morrigan called upon the forces of nature. Chilling blasts followed by pulverizing blows shattered resistance and pushed back those who would have thought to encircle them. Alistair put his templar talents to good use, banishing the magic of the Emissaries before ploughing in to hand to hand combat.
Elissa and Zevran worked on his flanks, moving from shadow to shadow to step in behind the Emissaries to place devastatingly accurate stabs to vital areas. Spinning and twirling, they moved out of range as the Hurlocks and Genlocks bore down, leaving a trail in their path as Elissa vaulted over a dying Genlock and raced for the archdemon. Zevran took another route, backtracking to eliminate archers who were taking a bead on Morrigan.
Alistair was quick on Elissa's heels, ploughing aside the remaining and cutting them down in her wake. Morrigan brought up the rear, focusing on the archdemon as she called upon the primal elements of nature to lock it to the deck. Frost covered the archdemon as Elissa reached it, allowing her time to race around the side before planting her daggers with devastating effect into one haunch and pulling it downwards.
Blood spurted, covering her, but she held on grimly, replanting the daggers as the archdemon let out a roar, kicking back with the injured leg. Elissa ducked, barely managing to avoid the blow only to be sent sprawling by a sweep of its tail.
Something cracked as she landed, her head hitting the deck with a painful thumb. Almost immediately, the pain disappeared, the warmth of Morrigan's healing magic flowing through her. That Wynne had ever agreed to teach Morrigan about healing magic remained one of their party's great mysteries - but one that Elissa was ever thankful for.
Rolling back to her feet, Elissa's attention was diverted by a nearby ballista. Inspired, she darted away. "Keep it busy!" she ordered as Alistair's shield took the brunt of a claw attack, his sword - Duncan's sword - flashing in riposte.
"Sure, no... problem!"
Sliding on the blood spattered cobblestones, Elissa was pleased to see the dwarven army spilling out onto the rooftop - belated but welcome - as they set about hacking the darkspawn with determined efficiency. They, more than any other unit under her command, deserved to be at this final battle. Skidding to a stop next to the large crossbow, Elissa sheathed her swords and put her hands to the sides of it, pushing it into position.
She spun, steel flashing in reflex, at a sudden noise at her back and deflected an over handed chop from a Hurlock who'd escaped the other's notice. Dispatching it with a flurry of blows, she turned back to her task, taking a bead on the archdemon. Except it was too far away. Wishing she'd kept her bow, she noted Morrigan on the far side of the archdemon, alternatively freezing it solid for Alistair to land brutal blows, but Zevran was closer and Elissa moved to the edge of the platform.
The elf cocked his head, back flipping out of the way of a tail sweep and landing with an agility Elissa still envied. He paused, not taking his eyes off the archdemon, and Elissa knew she'd heard him.
"Bring it this way!"
Pain exploded through her back as the word left her lips and she turned with a shriek, one sword already in hand and out to block the next blow. The axe the Genlock had been using was wrenched from his grasp at her sudden turn, her other blade flashing in from the side to take his head from his shoulders. With a hiss, Elissa blocked out the pain as two more converged on her, another three behind them.
Adrenaline surged through her system and she used the falling corpse for leverage, launching herself into the middle of the group with devastating consequences. Surprised by her sudden move, they were unprepared when she set one foot and began to spin, lashing out in a whirlwind of death that, when she came to a stop, left her as the only one standing.
In those moments, Zevran had done as she asked. The archdemon's attention had been focused on the Antivan elf, ducking its head as it stalked closer, Alistair on his back several meters away from what could only have been a stunning blow. Swinging back, she stepped back to the ballista and sighted it. Zevran jumped about before it, tucking into a roll to minimize the damage as he was sent across the cobble stones by the wave of one clawed forepaw.
"Now." The word was whispered as Elissa hit the firing mechanism. The bolt shot from the oversized crossbow, true to form, and impaled the archdemon in the shoulder, rending a wing and stealing what little power of flight it had left.
It screamed, its pain and defiance echoing for miles as it turned its attention her way.
Elissa took note of the archdemon's injuries, of the way it bled and of the way it fought; it wasn't done yet. With a yell to drive back the sting of her injuries, she bolted from the side of the weapon and back into the fray. Flames licked her skin as she ran head long into its released breath weapon, the sting of those burns minimized thanks to the enchantments glowing on her blades.
Alistair rejoined her, their blades flashing almost in unison as they impaled the beast again and again. Morrigan rejoined the fray with a devastating whirlwind of snow and ice before considerately unleashing a series of healing magics on their group.
Zevran lost his footing in the snow as he ploughed back in, going to his knees but not letting it stop him. His daggers flashed, tearing through hide and severing an important tendon on one foot. He took a blow straight to the chest, the claws of the archdemon digging in before sending him flying. A limp rag doll, he crashed to the ground and didn't move.
Falling back, Elissa let Morrigan's magic work, concentrating on keeping the Genlocks and Hurlocks at bay.
And then, the moment was upon them.
Elissa rushed back in as the storm dissipated. Without thinking, she launched herself from the back of a dying Hurlock, straight towards the neck of the dragon. Her blades flashed as she caught hold and unsheathed them, the twin blades diving straight into the neck of the beast.
The dragon bucked her off and she landed with a roll, ignoring Alistair's call, her swords still stuck in the neck of the dragon. The archdemon thrashed, attempting to get up, and Elissa raced back in. Her hands closed about the hilt of a sword left by someone in the corpse of a darkspawn, lifting it with both hands, she let out a war cry as she brought it up and over her head to slice into the neck of the archdemon.
Morrigan and Alistair watched as Elissa rose to her feet, her expression a mask of determination and victory as she brought her pilfered sword up.
"No!" Alistair made to move as she brought the sword over her head, knowing he'd never get to her in time, but needing to try - except Morrigan's hand closed about his elbow.
"Don't you fool; you can't help her!"
"Elissa!" Her name was torn from his lips fearfully as she brought the sword down, slicing deep into the archdemon's neck. Energy was released, Elissa's whole form writhing and bucking within the maelstrom. She twisted like a burning strand of hair, curling about the sword she refused to relinquish and Alistair doubted.
He doubted Morrigan and her ritual.
He doubted the outcome; that the archdemon would truly die.
He doubted his ability to stand there and watch as the soul of the archdemon destroyed his one good reason for living.
He doubted what would come next.
He doubted - and he prayed.
Maker please - don't take her from me. Not yet; not now. It can't have all been for nothing. Alistair thought desperately, looking at Morrigan for a brief moment before looking back to his betrothed. Anguished, powerless, he could do little but watch as she seemed to bend with each surge of power as the archdemon died.
This... This has to work - Elissa!
A wave of energy threw him back as an explosion rocked the spire, sending him sprawling several meters away. Morrigan was thrown from him and he blacked out for a moment when his head hit the rock, his helmet rolling free. Coming to with a trickle of blood running down his face, Alistair groaned and pushed himself to a sitting position.
All around him dwarves were getting to their feet, other who had resisted the blow, already at work finishing off the remaining darkspawn. Zevran, to his surprise, was also starting to stir - though he moved very carefully, as if in great pain. Morrigan was nowhere to be seen and Alistair dismissed her from his thoughts almost immediately as his gaze came to rest upon Elissa's crumpled form.
"Elissa!" the hoarse call didn't sound like his own voice as he scrambled towards her, not quite making his feet before he dropped to his knees. "Elissa - Maker, no." He stretched out his hands, reaching for her, but stopped just short, paralysed with the fear that he'd touch her to find her cold. "No, please no. Not her; not yet."
The need to hold her overrode his fear and he gathered her into his arms. Using his teeth, he unlaced one gauntlet - heedless of the darkspawn blood coating the laces - and shook it off, not caring where it fell. His bare fingers caressed her cheek, cool under his finger tips, but not cold. His heart leapt into his throat as he leaned down, looking and listening for signs of life as he laid his palm on her chest.
For the longest moment he could hear nothing but his own ragged breathing and the pulse of his heartbeat in his temples.
And then he felt it.
A single flutter under his fingertips.
Holding his breath, he wasn't certain he didn't imagine it - until her heart fluttered a second time and then a third, as if restarting under his palm.
A sob of relief escaped him as Alistair closed his eyes against the tears that suddenly and abruptly surged into his gaze. They slipped from closed eyelids and he pulled her close, wrapping her tightly in his arms as he bent his head to hers.
Morrigan hadn't lied and they'd come through this together.
"Thank the Maker." he breathed brokenly, cradling her close. "You're going to be alright, my love," he told her softly, his voice ragged and relieved. "It's all going to be alright."

Downtown Disney — Disney World's entertainment district — is currently transitioning into Disney Springs. This major renovation of the entire destination will ultimately result in doubling the shopping, dining, and entertainment options in this bustling area!
It's divided into three distinct areas: Marketplace, The Landing (formerly Pleasure Island) and the West Side. You'll find popular chain restaurants, quick service snacks and elaborate table-service menus, and several restaurants combine dining and entertainment such as live music and spectacular themeing.
Rainforest Cafe includes an extensive menu and an interactive rainforest theme. While it is not terribly different from the version outside the Animal Kingdom as well as many other worldwide locations, it can provide a fun and easy dining option in Downtown Disney. Guests can also enjoy a limited menu and drinks at the connecting Lava Lounge.
T-Rex is similar to the Rainforest Cafe, except with a dinosaur theme instead of the rainforest. Like the Rainforest Cafe it has a large menu as well as an interactive, if somewhat loud, theme.
Earl of Sandwich creates signature sandwiches with custom-made sauce, fresh ingredients and artisan breads. This counter-service establishment also serves breakfast.
Wolfgang Puck Express has both West Side and Marketplace locations. This is a very popular location for guests seeking counter-service with a bit more quality.
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain offers both fantastic ice cream as well as wonderful chocolate options for guests looking to indulge their sweet-tooth.
Fulton's Crab House is housed in a replica riverboat. Enjoy seafood specialties in a nautical dining room or eat under the stars on one of the three outdoor decks.
The Landing
Raglan Road offers Irish Pub food with live music and a team of Irish Dancers providing entertainment.
The Boathouse is a high-end restaurant with a culinary focus on steaks and seafood. While the food is the star of the show, guests can also enjoy live music and even tour the Village Lake in an Amphicar (for an additional fee).
Portobello Restaurant is a table-service Italian restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere.
Paradiso 37 is a fun establishment offering "foods of the Americas" with a focus on small easy to eat portions. Be sure to also check out their tequila bar.
Cookes of Dublin offers a counter-service Irish menu specializing in hand battered selections. With fresh, high-quality ingredients, it's worth venturing here for a quick service meal.
Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC features a specialty menu consisting of gluten-free, mostly organic, vegan baked goods. Items are also dairy-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, and egg-free, making it a great destination for guests with special dietary needs.
West Side
Bongos Cuban Cafe' sizzles with colorful old Havana and South Beach motifs. This Cafe Cubano serves Caribbean and Cuban inspired dishes in a multi-tiered restaurant shaped like a pineapple.
Starbucks at Downtown Disney West Side features all the regular Starbucks beverages you know and love, but this location also boasts an evening menu featuring tapas-style foods along with beer and wine.
House of Blues has made its way to Downtown Disney, featuring live music and southern food.
Splitsville Luxury Lanes is a bowling alley, but with items like sushi, artisan pizzas and Giant Cake on the menu, you'll find much more than standard bowling alley fare. Visit to bowl, dine, or both!
The Disney Food Trucks have their home base at Exposition Park on the West Side. Each of the four food trucks features food favorites based on popular dishes in the four Disney World parks (typically three out of the four Food Trucks are available at Exposition Park).
The Smokehouse is where you want to go for classic barbecue items served up in a relaxed, outdoor atmosphere. Most evenings, guests can enjoy live music under the hanging lights.
AMC Dine-In Theater means you'll never have to choose between dinner or a movie. Thanks to their "Fork and Screen" experience, you can enjoy both at the same time!
Wolfgang Puck Cafe and Dining Room are both presented by renown chef Wolfgang Puck. The "Cafe" is downstairs and features a more casual setting, while the "Dining Room" upstairs is more formal. Both offer California/Asian fusion dishes.
Wolfgang Puck Express has both West Side and Marketplace locations. This is a very popular location for guests seeking counter-service with a bit more quality.

Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream offers 14 different flavors of ice cream to choose from.
Planet Hollywood is a well-known franchise the world over. American food and lots of movie memorabilia.

Visiting the former Fort Hamilton — now Fort Whoop Up, Lethbridge, Alberta: recalling 19th century rogue traders
A poignant National Historic Site of Canada
This review of the former Fort Hamilton — now called Fort Whoop-Up (its previous, colloquial name), in Lethbridge, Alberta, has caused me to use a provocative title which indicates recollections of rogues who traded here.
So what happened in the second half of the 19th century, that rogue traders gave Fort Hamilton — rebuilt and enlarged — a bad name, to the extent that its more colloquial name has now overtaken the former usage?
What happened was that free trade in whiskey, centred at trading posts such as Fort Whoop Up, created what would now be called synergies of supply and demand particularly among local First Nations, with destabilizing consequences for the North West (in which Alberta was included until 1905). Not long after the setting up of Fort Hamilton trading post in 1869, over 70 people from the Blackfoot First Nations died of alcohol related issues.
There was another explosive addition to the trade mixture: weapons, in the form of repeating rifles. When on October 20, 1870 a Cree force met forces of the Blackfoot Confederacy close to present day Fort Whoop Up, a massacre ensued when death in the form of lead bullets reigned down upon the more lightly armed Cree (1), during the Battle of the Belly River. It is estimated that 40 - 50 Blackfoot were killed, but losses among the Cree were approximately 200-300. Numbers among the opposing forces were equally balanced, with several hundred fighting for each side, but undoubtedly the possession of new repeating rifles enabled the Blackfoot to gain the upper hand, to devastating effect.
Finally, more widely, what addiction to whiskey and the profusion of repeating rifles failed to produce, the arrival of the deadly disease of smallpox did.
For many First Nations, the history of Fort Whoop-Up is partly synonymous of many facets of death and destruction which the coming of Europeans signified.
However, there are also other aspects of local heritage which are commemorated at Fort Whoop Up, now a National Historic Site of Canada. First Nations' products such as weaved items are regularly bought and sold here.
It is also recalled that the North West Mounted Police — now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police — was created specifically to bring law and order to a region formerly affected by much social turbulence and even the fear of US intervention.
Historical panels at the Fort and a well-stocked gift shop combine to provide the visitor with memorable information and items.
The current, wooden structure of the Fort dates from 1967 as a Centennial project. The original Fort was located in the same general area as the present structure, but not in the identical location.
The Fort may be accessed at 200 Indian Battle Park Road, Lethbridge, close to the Oldman River.
March 24, 2015
(1) Far more severe in degree and numbers, the massacres on the Somme some decades later yet represented a similar, grim collision between insufficiently prepared ground troops with developments in machine gun and poison gas technologies. (These occurred, even as Anglophone High Tories raged in favour of imposing Conscription upon on Quebec; and machine gun technology was also used by Toronto-recruited troops to kill protesters in Quebec City.). So, this article indeed has a provocative title; but the title's negative connotations are not restricted to isolated rogue elements. Belying a Canada which today sees itself as a peaceful, trading nation par excellence, its history 100-150 years ago contains evidences of sanguinary, roguish impulses at the highest levels of policy. (This is not to try to deny the honourable military service and sacrifice of many Canadians down the years.)
Also worth seeing
In Lethbridge, notable sights include the Galt Museum; the Japanese Gardens; Henderson Lale; the record-breaking High Level Bridge, dating from 1909; dining in the Water Tower Restaurant; and many others.
Nanton (distance: 121.4 kilometres); the Air Museum commemorates Canadian aviators of Bomber Command during World War Two and notably possesses a Lancaster bomber. There are various well appointed antique shops close by.
Waterton (distance: 124.6 kilometres): this outstandingly scenic location - part of Warterton-Glacier International Peace Park - has striking views from the much photographed Prince of Wales Hotel over the often snow-capped Rockies and the Waterton Lakes.
How to get there
Air Canada, flies to Lethbridge Airport, via Calgary, with wide North American and other connections, from where car rental is available.

My apologies for the late reply. What I noti...Hi!

My apologies for the late reply.

What I noticed with thoughts is that they are very repetitive. We tend to recycle the same thoughts and pull them out over and over. I think looking at these thoughts, as you put it, is very useful. Understand why we think them, where they come from. With compassion and kindness toward ourselves, we can get to understand ourselves better. This helps us let these thoughts go.

Where you stop the process depends on the situation. It's great if you can catch yourself early and stop your mind from even pulling out the thought, but it's also good if you can't do that and accept the thought and the feeling with it. Don't be so hard on yourself. However you practice, it's a good practice.

Much love,
MelindaMiracle Foresthttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1492790599850100099.post-30751667194395859452017-05-18T14:04:55.218-07:002017-05-18T14:04:55.218-07:00Hi Melinda, thank you again for all your beautiful...Hi Melinda, thank you again for all your beautiful meditations, posts and quotes. They have helped me so so much. One thing I stuggle with in understanding though is how do you accept all thoughts and feelings as they are if we are not to look closely at our thoughts and just let them pass? I hope that makes sense...I stuggle with worrying about the future and I get confused as to whether I should stop my mind from pulling those thoughts out of the line or whether I should let them come, accept the feeling for what it is knowing that it is a delusion and wait for it to pass. Thank you so much again for all your knoweledge. Love amd light to you ❤Unknownhttps://email@example.com

? "I first worked with Maria Scard whilst MD at Splash FM where she produced one of the best sets of PR images of presenter Anna Bingham (Anna B) of any I had seen. I was already aware of her work for overseas charities and her pictures are widely known around the area. Since working with her I have observed that the consistent theme running through her work is an ability to capture the essence of people. When it came to select a partner for the Prospectus for Worthing High School, Maria was a obvious choice. Her ability to befriend her subjects, capture the warm side of their personalities, do so in a technically proficient way and in often makeshift conditions - and her post-production before presenting the final images is quite superb. Maria works to high standards and still manages to surprise us with something extra each time. I would recommend using her before she becomes a household name and beyond reach!"
"You are a highly talented woman, Maria, everyone commented on what a delight you were - which is not usual, as photographers are observed, but not always singled out for their lovely personalities.
I think it is that, in part, that you bring to your work which makes it so special, together with your professional experience.
What a day!
I want to reiterate my sincere thanks for all your hard work - above and beyond 'just a shoot'.
thank you, from my heart."
Hey Maria

New Hardwood Flooring
This dining and living room was transformed with beautiful new hardwood flooring!
"I had four contractors out for estimates. There was something about these guys that was very honest and sincere. I can't put my finger on it. I was very comfortable and impressed with their professionalism. They delivered on everything they said they would and then some. They went that extra mile to deliver excellent service and on time. My living room and dining room floors are beautiful. I have already hired them again for my study floor, would never consider anyone else."

Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has had a rough few years lately, with his three most recent films getting scathing reviews and struggling at the box office. Yet that's not stopping one of the world's biggest movie stars from working with him.
According to Deadline, Shyamalan will direct an "untitled futuristic science fiction adventure film" that will star Will Smith (I Am Legend). Smith's son Jaden will star in the picture alongside his dad, and just to make it a complete family venture, Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith is listed as one of the producers, along with her husband.
Shyamalan has co-written the script for the movie (with Book of Eli writer Gary Whitta), which was reportedly titled One Thousand A.E. when he first began talking about it late last year. The tale, set in the far future, involves a young boy and his father whose spaceship crashes on Earth 1,000 years after it has been abandoned. Shyamalan said in a newly released statement, "The chance to make a scary, science-fiction film starring Jaden and Will is my dream project."
Will and Jaden Smith have acted together before, in The Pursuit of Happyness, while Jaden also appeared in the ill-conceived remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. His dad, of course, has starred in sci-fi blockbusters like Independence Day, I, Robot and Men in Black (the third MiB entry is now filming again after script problems shut production down for a couple of months).
As for Shyamalan, his last two original films, Lady in the Water and The Happening, were both critical and box-office disasters. His adaptation of The Last Airbender did reasonably well at the box office but was panned almost across the board by critics, moviegoers and fans of the TV series.
There's no word yet on when production will begin. Do you think this is a good team-up? Does Shyamalan deserve yet another chance, and can working with Smith bring out the best in him?

Judge resets trial in Iowa City Ped Mall shooting to Jan. 22
Lamar Wilson plans to use 'stand your ground' defense
IOWA CITY — A judge on Wednesday reset the start date for Lamar Wilson's first-degree murder trial to Jan. 22 after Wilson waived his right to a speedy trial.
Wilson, 21, claims he should have "stand your ground" immunity in the Aug. 27 fatal shooting on the Ped Mall in Iowa City because, he says, he was acting in self-defense.
Wilson asked for his trial — originally set to start Nov. 27 — to be continued following 6th Judicial District Judge Paul Miller's ruling on Friday that denied Wilson's request for an evidentiary hearing to determine if Wilson, who is using the "stand your ground" law in his defense, was justified in using deadly force when he fatally shot Kaleek Jones, 22, and injured two others in the shooting. Jones died as the result of a gunshot wound to his back and neck.
Miller said Friday he will let a jury decide the verdict and then make a separate ruling on the immunity issue.
In addition to the first-degree murder charge, Wilson faces two counts of attempted murder, three counts of intimidation with a dangerous weapon and criminal gang participation. Initially, he demanded his trial start within 90 days of arraignment, which meant the trial had to start before Dec. 6.
The trial will take place in Polk County District Court. Miller previously granted Wilson's request to move the trial out of Johnson County based on extensive pretrial publicity.
If convicted of the murder charge, Wilson faces life in prison without parole.

Yelp.com is in court. Again.
We recently realized that all the money we pay for advertising has been going nowhere. We have hundreds of 5-star reviews on our DC-based Yelp account, but until recently, only one review of our Alexandria location. Now, we only have one location, but somebody wrote a review for the Alexandria location, which gave us two accounts. We did NOT want to advertise on the account that only had one review. We wanted to showcase the one with all our reviews.
Anyway, when we figured out they were promoting what was essentially a dead site, we were pretty miffed. We talked to them about getting some kind of refund for the thousands of dollars that went nowhere, but they're not exactly jumping up to show us what rock star customer service looks like.
I'd quit advertising with them by now, but that's the problem -- when you do that, all your bad reviews reappear and your 5-star reviews never last longer than a week. Next to the IRS, it's the shadiest organization in the country.

you had me until the last line. a little unnecessary, don't you think?
any way something like bbb could help?

Unnecessary? Yeah, probably. Nobody knows how to flex authoritarian muscle like the IRS. They could squash Yelp.
I used to have fairly high regard for the BBB until I realized it was just another pay-for-play thing. A few years back Hamas had an A- there. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/business-bureau-president-apologizes-errors-grading-system/story?id=12153392#.UeH0PT7N44w.
They're always trying to get me to re-up for their listing service.
Angie's List may be the best review site. Unfortunately, you have to pay for it. That makes it harder to get reviews there. Still, we have about 45 -- all A's except for one B and an F. (We never helped the guy who gave us an F--he gave us that grade because I pushed back when he accused us of shenanigans because he didn't scroll down on his estimate far enough to see the figures. Fun story.)
