I already woke up with a hard-on and decided to start my hunt early. The good thing is that especially in the morning there are so many cute boys around. The bad thing is that they are mostly in a hurry. The first boy I met was quite funny. Maybe not a top-model but very sexy for my taste. When I offered him money to show me his dick he immediately asked me wether I was gay and I would want to fuck him. Surprised by his openness I persuaded him with a huge amount right away. Well, what happened in my shower a few minutes later was less funny... Anyway. I am persistent. And when I met that little angel smoking his last cigarette in the park I was even happy that I didn't waste more time with the first boy.

See how mutch he show me.... ;)
What a cutie. Incredible. He remembered me someone from TV. But I still don't know who? Anyway – it doesn't matter. Normally I am not so much into guys with such very young looks. But when I saw him skiing I just decided to wait until he finishes. And then he came together with a friend. I wasn't sure anymore if it would be still the best idea to talk to them both. Well, obviously I still tried my luck. The second boy wasn't interested in my offers at all. But my main target – the boy with the base cap – was quite attracted by my dirty offers. He told me his soccer team came here for skiing and that they lived in a nearby pension. That would be really cool: to fuck him in his own room.

MPs are being urged to reject a Conservative party attempt to water down a new law designed to make it more difficult for big businesses to sue journalists, academics and bloggers for libel.
Former solicitor general Sir Edward Garnier has launched a bid to remove the need for corporations to prove they have suffered "substantial financial loss" before they launch a case in the high court.
But the Tory MP and libel lawyer's move has been condemned by Labour, with shadow justice secretary Sadiq Khan warning it could "chill free speech" because people would feel threatened by the financial muscle of big businesses.
The Libel Reform Group has said unless the clause was preserved the "inhumane effects of libel bullying" would be perpetuated.
Sir Edward's amendment would remove changes previously made in the Lords and will be debated in the House of Commons at 4pm on Tuesday.
Khan said on Monday night: "We need to modernise our defamation laws if we're to strike the right balance between upholding free speech and protecting against damaged reputations.
"I urge MPs on all sides to accept the improvements made to the bill led by Labour peers in the House of Lords. We need to grasp this once-in-a-generation opportunity to update our defamation laws to suit the challenges of the time, and complete the cross-party work begun under Labour in 2009.
"The bill before the Commons tomorrow [Tuesday] is markedly better than the government's original proposals, which Labour sought to improve at every turn.
"In particular, it's crucial that we prevent large and powerful institutions using the mere threat of defamation proceedings to chill free speech.
"That's why we will be voting against Conservative attempts to change the safeguards introduced in the House of Lords which would stop a big institution from using their financial and legal might to intimidate scientists and academics.
"We hope the Liberal Democrats will abide by their manifesto commitments on this issue and support Labour in defeating Conservative attempts at diluting the bill."
The popular Mumsnet website warned the bill would be "gutted" if Sir Edward's amendment was passed.
The website said asking corporations to show evidence of financial damage would help end "vexatious" libel clams "which sadly Mumsnet sees on a near-daily basis".
Justine Roberts, Mumsnet chief executive and co-founder, said: "This amendment would do great damage to a bill that we are proud to have campaigned for over the past three years. It would be a great shame if the government were to support it."
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said the government was seeking to "overturn" the proposals on corporate libel action and another clause which would prevent local councils from suing individuals "as they are costly and unnecessarily restrictive".
"Removing this amendment from the bill will not have any effect on the existing common law principle which prevents local authorities and governmental bodies from bringing a defamation claim."

PERI formwork systems are helping build one of the highest concrete bridge piers in the world in Turkey, a task that is challenging given the unique shape of the reinforced concrete pylons and the complexity of the mounted parts.
The Yavuz-Sultan-Selim Bridge is currently being built across the Bosphorus in the north of the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul and will be the third and largest bridge over the strait.
The general contractor on the project is the ICA Consortium (Consortium IC Ictas/Astaldi), while a joint venture between Hyundai Engineering and Construction and SK Engineering and Construction is the contractor for the shell construction. Peri, Weissenhorn (Germany) and Peri Kalıp ve İskeleleri, Istanbul (Turkey) are responsible for field service. The project is scheduled for completion next year.
The suspension bridge is supported by two A-shaped pylons and reaches a height of around 330 m, making it one of the highest in the world. The construction of the upper area of the two piers is being carried out in 21 concreting sections, each 4.6 m.
The 59-m-wide bridge carries eight lanes and two railway tracks with a span of 1,408 m across the Bosphorus, and connects – as part of the new 260-km-long North Marmara Motorway – the European and Asian continents.
"Thanks to the Peri ACS self-climbing system and Vario GT 24 girder wall formwork, the stringent requirements in terms of flexibility, surface quality and dimensional accuracy have been met," says a spokesman for the Germany formwork manufacturer.
The efficient workflow processes from one level to the next has resulted in very high productivity and extremely short cycle times made possible through the hydraulic climbing system, he adds.
For the inclined surfaces of the A-shaped pylon legs, the adjustable version of the ACS V self-climbing formwork is being used. "This can be optimally adapted to suit the sloping side surfaces of the pylons. In order to facilitate safe and ergonomic working conditions at great heights also on inclined structures, the working platform is always positioned horizontally," the spokesman explains.
For the almost vertical surfaces, forming is carried out using the ACS R version which is the standard system of the ACS self-climbing formwork. Within the pylon legs themselves, the ACS P platform version is being used alongside the ACS V.
The spokesman says that a major challenge during the planning phase was to adapt the formwork solution in order to match the cross-section requirements of the four pylon legs which steadily become narrower as they climb upwards.
"The construction has a triangular-shaped base structure with broken corners. Over the height of the pylon, the three long polygon sides are reduced by 1.4 m respectively. The required adjustment of the working platforms have been implemented by means of centrally positioned filler platforms whose supporting surfaces are easily adapted to the outer neighbouring platforms. The formwork adjustments are realised using compensation plates and bolted filler elements which are gradually dismantled accordingly."
In addition, the Peri self-climbing solution provides, in particular, the flexibility needed when assembling the steel mounting parts for the stay cable holding devices. The planning solution takes into consideration the varying dimensions and positions of the large-sized steel mounting components. "Determining the climbing axes required a well thought-out planning process in order to avoid any collisions with the stay cable boxes. For this, a high degree of dimensional accuracy is required," he adds.
Peri's formwork solutions also provide a high degree of workplace safety and enhanced efficiency.
The spokesman elaborates: "All ACS climbing units are provided with a trapezoidal sheet cladding. The enclosure of the lower working platforms with completely closed trapezoid sheeting provides anti-fall protection as well as additional wind and weather protection for site personnel.
"From the other working platforms on Level +1 and Level +2, the reinforcement is installed in advance for the entire next floor. The perforated trapezoidal metal sheeting in this area lets through light and air. Up to 42 tonnes of reinforcement materials in total can be stored on the top three platform levels.
"On the forward-inclined platform, a rotary distributor for concreting is climbed at the same time. Access to the elevator was also integrated in the self-climbing system during the planning phase. This well thought-through solution, along with the creation of 3D views for visualisation, was implemented within a short time by all site personnel in efficient teamwork operations. The experience and competent planning, as well as just-in-time deliveries of large amounts of material from Peri, have facilitated problem-free working and thus maintaining the short construction schedule."
Citing the importance of the bridge, the spokesman says the Yavuz-Sultan-Selim Bridge should relieve the two existing Bosphorus bridges quite considerably.
"The megacity of Istanbul, with around 15 million inhabitants, is the fourth largest city in the world. It straddles two continents and two seas, making the Turkish metropolis unique, but it is plagued by chronic traffic problems. In particular, the two existing Bosphorus crossings from 1973 and 1988 are tremendously overloaded."
The new North Marmara route bypasses the centre of Istanbul by a wide margin, crossing the Bosphorus about 25 km to the north of the city centre. It is also directly connected to the planned mega-airport.
Green certificates
As one of the largest providers and manufacturers of formwork, shoring and scaffolding systems in the world, Peri aims to provide its clients with the most efficient and cost-effective solutions, regardless of project size and its complexity. In addition to its innovative products, it offers engineering, planning, special software, rental service and logistics support.
The spokesman points out that the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) have recognised Peri as an ecological manufacturer.
He says Peri guarantees to utilise only timber which comes mainly from certified growing areas in Norway, Sweden, Finland and various other countries. In addition, the company has all raw and auxiliary materials inspected by its own environmental auditor before being purchased.

The main focus of THS's music program is to introduce all students to the love and enjoyment of music with the hope of instilling a life-long desire to continue to grow musically.
Students learn the main musical elements of music history and theory. This includes melody, rhythm, form, harmony, and tone color. The Kodály concept of teaching music is implemented with all kindergarten through fifth-grade students. Kodály is an experience-based approach to teaching music that recognizes the voice as the most natural instrument and one which every person possesses; therefore, learning through singing precedes instrumental training. Using the Orff Schulwerk method, instruments are introduced beginning with the use of xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels as well as other percussion instruments. Students in grades 6-8 elect to participate in Beginning Band or Chorus.
Yearly music program highlights include an all-school Winter Celebration held in December, a spring musical in March, and an end-of-year music showcase assembly. This year's spring musical is James and the Giant Peach.
The art program at THS has three main goals. The first is to encourage our students to express themselves creatively within the context of specific projects. The second goal is to expose our students to a wide variety of materials, techniques, and disciplines. The third goal is to introduce artist's works from geographically and ethnically diverse groups and provide students with a sense of the history of art within the context of their own artwork.
Studies indicate that children who learn a second language show greater cognitive development in such areas as mental flexibility, creativity, divergent thinking and higher order thinking skills. By offering our students Mandarin, Spanish and English, THS provides instruction in languages economically, politically and culturally important in the 21st Century.
The Spanish program is designed for students to develop communicative competency in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and the Latin culture. The progression is gradual and linguistically appropriate for all ages. As students progress through the program, they are encouraged to take linguistic risks, be vulnerable, and use their intuition. Differentiated instruction complements various learning styles, abilities and language backgrounds. Our Spanish program is aligned with the National K-12 Foreign Language Standards. Our goal is to thoroughly prepare our students for a strong fundamental background in Spanish I.
Students are introduced to the phonetic system of modern, standard Mandarin Chinese, including pin yin, transliteration, and tones. Students learn to recognize characters and sentence patterns as they develop listening and speaking skills, communicating about themselves and their environment using sentences containing basic language structures. Activities to practice oral and aural skills include dialogue, interviews, surveys, presentations of poems, songs and traditional games. Throughout the program, students will gain insight into China's diverse cultures and customs.
Our goal in physical education is to build conceptual knowledge of physiology, food, exercise, teamwork and motor skills while fulfilling the needs of the individual for lifelong health and wellness. Self-responsibility, positive social interaction, and the strengthening of self-confidence are all developed within the dynamics of teamwork.
Students Learn to:
- Demonstrate competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.
- Understand movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to learning and performance of team activities.
- Achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.
- Exhibit responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others in physical activity.
- Value physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and social interaction.
The Garden at THS is a place to learn, play and connect with nature. Working with our Garden Coordinator and parent volunteers, students get the opportunity to plant, work, harvest and prepare healthy delicious food. When in season, the students harvest and prepare salads to serve at lunch, make smoothies using produce from the garden and learn about new fresh and healthy foods. The garden provides an environment for hands-on learning and teaches valuable concepts and skills that integrate with several subjects and educational goals, including personal and social responsibility and building community. Most important, it is a place to have fun!

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) View 1 more image (Newser) – With Joe Paterno and Penn State's president both fired—and assistant coach Mike McQueary on "administrative leave"—has everyone who kept quiet about on-campus child abuse been publicly outed? Not by a long shot, reports McClatchy. Parents, janitors, and other school supervisors also knew or suspected that Jerry Sandusky was raping boys in the showers. "They were probably thinking of their kids, and where their next meal was coming from," says one advocate for child sex abuse victims. "Who could say how we would act if it affected our job?" According to a grand jury presentment, a school janitor saw Sandusky performing oral sex on an underage boy, but only told a supervisor. The parents of two alleged victims did speak to authorities in 1988, which led to an on-campus investigation—which means that Penn State police officers, university legal staff, and district attorney workers who saw the school's report may have known but remained silent. "The bottom line is we as a society don't know what to do," says one law professor. "The fear and shame that surrounds this issue precludes people from reporting it."

UZBEKISTAN: Four 15-day prison sentences for regular, registered worship service
Some twenty Anti-Terror Police officers raided the regular Sunday afternoon worship service of the registered Donam Protestant church in the capital Tashkent on 23 August, claiming it was "unauthorised". Seven church members were arrested and Christian literature was confiscated, Protestants told Forum 18 News Service. Three men were soon freed but four – including the church's pastor, Vladimir Tyo – were sentenced to 15-day prison terms for "violation of the procedure for organising and conducting meetings", even though the regular service was included in the required quarterly report to the city Justice Department. The court verdict also records that the judge ordered the confiscated literature destroyed without giving any reason. Raids on both registered and unregistered religious communities, fines, imprisonment and confiscation of religious literature are frequent in Uzbekistan.
The verdict also reveals that Christian publications seized during the raid are to be destroyed, a common fate for religious literature confiscated by police during raids on religious communities in Uzbekistan (see most recently F18News 7 July 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1322).
Forum 18 has been unable to find out why officials believe a regular service on its registered premises by a registered religious community which had included the event in its required regular quarterly report to the Justice Department that registered it is regarded as "unauthorised". Forum 18 has also been unable to find out why confiscated religious publications are to be destroyed even though they have not been proven to contain any illegal content.
The official at the State Committee for Religious Affairs who answered the phone of the Chairman, Artyk Yusupov, told Forum 18 on 25 August to talk to the Committee specialist, Begzot Kadyrov, about the case. However, Kadyrov's phone went unanswered.
The raid on the Donam Church and imprisonment of four of its members are the latest in a series of moves against communities and individuals of a variety of faiths across Uzbekistan.
In autumn 2008 the Uzbek authorities began an intensive campaign against followers of the late Turkish Muslim theologian Said Nursi which is still continuing. Several dozen adherents have been given long prison sentences so far in 2009, with others being arrested and facing trial (see F18News 31 July 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1333). The most recent Nursi-related sentences known to Forum 18 came in early July in Khorezm and in Samarkand (see F18News 31 August 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1344).
State officials in the city of Bukhara have also reportedly banned local Muslim women from attending mosques (see F18News 17 September 2009 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=1349).
Raid on Donam Church and sentences
Some 20 officers of the Anti-Terror police, led by Timur Daminov and Rustam Tajihanov, arrived at about 3 pm on 23 August in four cars at the worship building of the Donam Church where the service was underway, Protestants told Forum 18. Joining the officers was the local police officer Akramov and an official of the city Justice Department.
The service was being led by the assistant pastor, Andrei Sim, who explained to the officers that the Sunday afternoon service was a regular church event which had been approved by a general church meeting and whose details had been submitted as part of the regular quarterly report that all registered religious organisations are required to submit to the local Justice Department which registered them.
However, church members complain that the officers paid no attention to this. They say Daminov and Tajihanov forced Sim to write a statement about what they termed an "illegal" meeting.
The Anti-Terror officers ordered the local police officer Akramov to draw up a record of violations under Code of Administrative Offences Article 201, which punishes "violation of the procedure for organising and conducting meetings" with a fine or imprisonment of up to fifteen days, and Article 202, which punishes "creating the conditions for conducting unapproved meetings" with a fine of up to ten times the minimum monthly wage.
When church members showed the Anti-Terror officers the documentation proving that Sunday afternoon services were part of the approved church activity, the officers dismissed the information, insisting that church members would have to show the documents to the court.
Church members complain that the officers forced all those present to give their names and home addresses. Officers stood at the door of the church to prevent anyone leaving without giving their identity.
Police confiscated 28 videos and 181 Christian books and brochures from the church building.
At 5.30 pm that day, officers took seven church members to the Yunusabad police station. Three of those arrested - an elderly, infirm man, another man whose heavily-pregnant wife came to the police station and threatened to blame the officers if she had a miscarriage and a third man whose child was crying - were soon released from the police station. Not released were Andrei Sim, together with the church's pastor, Vladimir Tyo (who was not present at the service but who had been summoned by church members), and two other church members Yuri Tyo and Dmitri Sim.
One of those arrested, Yuri Tyo, had three young children with him. On the way to the police station, officers left the children unaccompanied on the street to find their own way home. The children arrived home safely later. Church members expressed particular concern about the police abandoning the children on the street.
Although police told church members the four detained men would be freed later that evening, they were held for more than 24 hours. Church members complain this was a violation of Article 288 Part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offences, which allows a maximum detention of 24 hours without charge for those accused of these offences.
Some time after 8 pm on the following evening, 24 August, Judge Akbar Turabov heard the case of the four at Yunusabad District Criminal Court, who all protested their innocence of any wrongdoing. According to the court verdict seen by Forum 18, the judge dismissed the accusations under Article 202, as well as religious offences under Articles 240 and 242, as the congregation is registered and the leaders were able to demonstrate that they have higher religious education. However, judge Turabov upheld the accusation under Article 201. He found the four guilty and handed down the fifteen-day prison terms.
Judge Turabov ordered that the religious literature and videos confiscated during the raid should be destroyed. The verdict gives no reason for the ordered destruction.
After the trial the four men were taken to the detention centre of the City Police in Kuyluk District to serve their terms. A relative of one of the four was able to have a brief meeting with him in the detention centre on 25 August.
Tashkent-based human rights activist Surat Ikramov told Forum 18 that homeless people, hooligans and petty criminals are held at the Kuyluk detention centre, with about ten to fifteen people in each small cell sleeping on the wooden floor. He added that food provided to prisoners is poor.
Also detained at the same service and fined five times the minimum monthly wage was a visiting South Korean citizen.
Officials refuse to discuss raid and imprisonments
The secretary of Judge Turabov at Yunusabad District Criminal Court, who did not give her name, confirmed to Forum 18 on 25 August the sentences of the four Uzbek nationals, but refused to say anything about the South Korean national. She said Judge Turabov did not want to talk to Forum 18 about the case. "I cannot give any more information on that over the phone," she said.
The Deputy Chief of the Interior Ministry's Anti-Terror police, who did not give his name, said he was not aware of the case. "Call me back tomorrow," he told Forum 18 on 25 August.
No one at the Justice Ministry in Tashkent was available to talk about the case. The Assistant to Akborhon Nabiraev – the official who oversees work with religious organisations at the Ministry - kept asking Forum 18 to call back later on 25 August, and finally at the end of the working day telling Forum 18 that he was not available to talk: "I myself am not aware of such a case," he added.
Nor would anyone at the Tashkent City Justice Department comment. The official who answered the phone on 25 August told Forum 18 that Umid Rasulov, the chief of the Department, was on holiday. He added that everyone else was busy with checkups of various organisations.
In the wake of the raid and the imprisonments, twenty eight church members signed a letter of protest to Uzbekistan's Interior Minister, Bahodir Matlyubov, the Tashkent Justice Department and Uzbek President Islam Karimov, of which Forum 18 has seen copies. They spoke of their shock over the raid and imprisonments following a peaceful, regular, approved religious service, describing it as "an unprecedented example of the violation of human rights".

When shopping for unique prom dresses the internet provides you with an opportunity to look at endless choices of dresses without leaving your home, which eliminates the tiring journey of walking from store to store.
Whether it is a cheap prom dress at a discounted price or a designer prom dress, you can find what you want while sitting in front of your computer!
You could also buy a prom dress and your graduation dress together. You could get discounts on both, and save a great deal of cash!. So… one of the biggest benefits is lower Costs.
But…you will need to be careful to follow some guidelines whether shopping on the internet or in your local dress shop.
It is extremely important to consider you body type when picking a unique prom dress. If you pick the right Prom dress or gown that fits you and your body type… you will look so much better that if you just pick a dress that you like the most.
If you have an hourglass figure, your body type may be thin, or you might be a plus size. Whatever your body type… picking a dress that ultimately compliments you is very important to how good you will look in your Prom Dress.
Hourglass figure: A good choice is the strapless or halter top dresses.
Boyish or straight figure: Choose a dress with open shoulders and a flared skirt.
Plus sizes: choose a low neckline, empire cut dress and a flared skirt
Pear Shaped: Choosing an A-lined dresses or empire waist dress will lengthen the legs and the torso. This choice should also be darker at the bottom and lighter at the top as well.
SIZING: When you have decided on the perfect unique prom dress for your body type, then you will need to get your size right!
A common problem is that many dress manufacturers sizes vary. Your dress size may be 10 for a particular manufacturer but size 12 for another.
This particular problem can be solved easily by shopping online.
Many online stores provide you with an online catalogue that has a chart of sizes that you can concise to your measurements.
If you must have a dress that is not available in your size, buy the largest size! You could alter the dress if it is a size or two big for you but if the dress is small, you will need to go through the process of returning it.
No matter how careful you are to find a Prom Dress that fits you well… When your Prom is 2 weeks out you may need to consider altering your dress. We gain or lose weight, and this will affect how well your dress now fits.
So buying wedding gowns, graduation dresses, or unique prom dresses on the internet not only saves you money, but since it is likely you will need an alteration… it will ultimately prove to provide you with a better variety of choices, and help you save a ton of money as well!

By Lauren Tara LaCapra
May 11 (Reuters) - After reports that users of the company's financial terminals were investigating potential leaks of confidential information, Bloomberg LP CEO Daniel Doctoroff said that the company had made a "mistake" by giving journalists access to data on clients' terminal usage.
The financial information and news company sought to assure its customers that Bloomberg News journalists will no longer have any information about what users of its terminals are accessing.
Bloomberg, whose financial data terminals are widely used on Wall Street, had allowed journalists to see some information, including when customers had last logged in, and how often they used messaging or looked up data on broad categories - such as equities or bonds.
Doctoroff said in a statement on Friday that reporters, however, could not see which particular news stories clients read, or the specific securities they viewed.
Goldman Sachs flagged the matter to Bloomberg in April after a Bloomberg reporter in Hong Kong asked Goldman about a partner's employment status, noting that the person had not logged on in some time. Goldman argued that the information was sensitive and should not be seen by journalists.
"Having recognized this mistake, we took immediate action," Doctoroff said in the statement posted on Bloomberg's blog. "Last month we changed our policy so that all reporters only have access to the same customer relationship data available to our clients."
The questions about Bloomberg reporters' access have moved beyond Wall Street banks. The New York Times, citing people briefed on the matter, reported that banking regulators at the U.S. Federal Reserve are examining whether their own employees were subject to tracking by Bloomberg reporters. A Fed spokeswoman declined to comment.
Doctoroff said Bloomberg also created a new position of client data compliance officer to continue to ensure that its news operations never have access to confidential customer data.
No clients had canceled their subscriptions because of the issue, a person briefed on the situation said on Friday.
Privately held Bloomberg has about 2,400 journalists worldwide. The company gets the bulk of its revenue from terminal sales to financial institutions. It has more than 315,000 terminal subscribers globally. Last year it posted revenue of $7.9 billion.
Thomson Reuters' , the parent of Reuters News, competes with Bloomberg.
In a statement, Thomson Reuters said the news division operates "completely independently with reporters having no access to non-public data on its customers, especially any data relating to its customers use of its products or services.
"Thomson Reuters collects and analyses customer data to improve product functionality and customer experience. There are strict controls in place that prevent access of this data in any form by Reuters or other staff without permitted use," the company said.

Today I finish my employment with Southern Districts Basketball Association after 35 years, having the time of my life doing the thing I love in life, basketball.
I need to say a huge thank you to all those people over many years who have been part of creating Queensland�s most successful and developing club.
It has been an honour to work with so many greats such as Steve Lennon, Karen Ellis, Creig and Gaye Stephens along with Ian (Wally) Battis and Big Joe. I apologise for not naming so many others but you know who you are and a huge thank you.
I also must say thank you to those champions from other clubs who, through their own passion and drive, forced the Spartan family and myself to work even harder. Thanks Brian Kerle, Harold Peacock, Fred Van Dongen, Bob Young, Rod Popp, Sid and Beryl Page, Norma Connolly and Warren Berginey to name just a few. Basketball is indebted to you all along with so many others.
I leave the club knowing that it is in the best possible hands under the direction of Peter Foster and a new professional board who will take the Spartans on to the next level.
To the multitude of juniors that have moved through the club during my time, in reflection, I enjoyed every minute of the experience both good and bad. Without the experience of defeat there can be no joy in success.
A special mention to Aaron Honeyman, Ben Thompson, Shona Burrell (O�Bree) and Bec Stephens (Lewis) for allowing me to be part of your development as players and great young Australians. These fine young athletes epitomise what the Spartan family is about and I thank you for your loyalty over such a long time. You all made the work worthwhile and I thank you for your dedication and support.
While I may be departing I commit to serving our great family club whenever needed in the future. Again I thank everyone for the great experience and wish everyone well in the future.
Allan Ladewig
�Remember today is the first day of the rest of your life. Enjoy it�

OVER-SPENDING on healthcare is posing the biggest threat to our economic recovery, the European Central Bank has warned.
Health Department expenditure – already €49m over budget three months into the year – needs to be reined in if our recovery is to stay on track, it said.
Ireland is also vulnerable to international trade issues – but health spending is the one area singled out as problematic in the ECB's annual report that the Government has direct control over.
Health Minister James Reilly's department has missed its budget targets by €49m – 1.5pc above the €3.159bn budgeted for the first quarter
If that level of spending continues, the department could find itself in a similar situation to last year when it needed a €200m mini-bailout from the Exchequer.
"Looking ahead, Ireland needs to address the remaining fiscal vulnerabilities, especially in healthcare spending, and to continue to comply with its fiscal targets in order to provide a positive signal to markets," the ECB said.
The warning is contained in the bank's annual report which includes its first update on Ireland since the bailout ended in December.
The focus on health spending echoes similar concerns that were raised back in November in the final report of the troika before the bailout ended.
"Health spending is the biggest risk in terms of the elements that the Government here can control. It is down significantly year on year but did run ahead again in the first quarter," according to Dermot O'Leary of Goodbody Stockbrokers.
Health spending is high here relative to other countries, he noted, but he said the numbers reflected the impact of high unemployment, which means more people have a medical card.
As the number of people in work improves it should feed through to health spending, Mr O'Leary said.
Along with the EU and IMF, the ECB was one of the three international lenders that made up the troika, which oversaw the bailout.
In its annual report, it praised the Irish bailout exit as it "underlines the success of the necessary, but sometimes painful, measures".
It said: "The implementation of the adjustment programme for Ireland remained on track, enabling the authorities to conclude the programme successfully in December 2013."
Indicators at the end of last year suggest "a further strengthening in activity" in the economy.
And despite some suggestions that the straitjacket imposed under the bailout could be relaxed, the ECB stresses that it is "crucial for Ireland to continue implementing the necessary reforms".
The Government is expected to cut around €2bn in next October's Budget.
Bank reform in particular is needed in "order to safeguard market access and its long-term economic prospects".
Elsewhere in the report, the ECB said it was not consulted by authorities here ahead of last year's promissory note deal to shut down the former IBRC and replace its debt to the Central Bank with long-term government bonds. It's listed among 21 cases of non-compliance by 17 eurozone members which had an obligation to consult the ECB on relevant legislation.
The ECB said it understands the reason for the failure was the "urgent nature of the situation".

Definition / general
- Note: in this topic, "T4" means total T4, unless stated otherwise
- Usual daily production is 110 nmol/day; half life is 7 days
- 100% produced in thyroid
- 50% of T4 is 5' deiodinated to form T3, 40% is 5 deiodinated to form reverse T3 via 5-deiodinase
- Higher T4/T3 ratio when abundant iodide
- 70% of T4 is bound to thyroxine binding globulin, 20% to transthyretin (thyretin), 10% to albumin
- Up to 5% to IgM, IgG and lipoproteins
- < 1% of T4 is free, but this form is active
- Protein bound T4 is inactive and does not enter cells
- Altered protein-binding characteristics:
- Account for more abnormal T4 values than actual thyroid dysfunction
- May be due to drugs that increase protein binding and cause increased T4
- Patient may be clinically euthyroid
- Recommend measuring free T4
- May be due to familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (increased albumin binding of T4), clinically euthyroid (J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab 2002;15:801)
- Patient may be euthyroid with high T4 but peripheral resistance (Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab 2006;20:529)
Thyroxine administration
T3 administration
Reference range
Conversion factor
- TSH is a more sensitive and specific screening test for thyroid dysfunction than total T4, but total T4 may be helpful in interpreting TSH results
- TSH surge at birth causes increased T4 levels (Thyroid 1999;9:71)
Thyroxine administration
- T4 levels usually constant
T3 administration
- Does not affect T4 levels
- Immunoassay
Reference range
- Serum
- 5-12.5 μg/dL (lower in children, upper limit is higher in pregnancy, Thyroxine chart)
- Amniotic fluid (Bayer ADVIA Centaur)
- Not detectable (Am J Clin Pathol 2007;128:158)
- Note: within laboratory variation is frequently high (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2005;129:318)
Conversion factor
- Multiply by 12.87 to convert from μg/dL to nmol/L (Conversion Chart)
- Primary hypothyroidism: low T4 and high TSH
- Primary hyperthyroidism: high T4 and T3 and low TSH
- T4 thyrotoxicosis: high T4, low / normal T3; due to iodine, beta blockers, amiodarone, steroids or nonthyroidal illness
- T3 thyrotoxicosis: low / normal T4, high T3, low TSH
- Severe nonthyroidal illness: low T3, low T4, associated with poor prognosis
- Euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia:
- High T4, normal TSH, otherwise euthyroid
- Due to increased binding proteins associated with estrogens (pregnancy) or liver disease, psychiatric illness (Acta Psychiatr Scand 2006;114:132), familial dysalbuminemia
- Recommended to measure free T4, which correlates better with thyroid functional status

Business Cards Size And Setup
Traditionally , a standard business card size is 90mm x 50mm, that is finished size. Another size that is commonly used is 85mm x 55mm, it all depends on personal preference.
Many printed designs include bleed. The "bleed area" is an extra 3mm of space for design elements or backgrounds that extend beyond the finished size of your card. A business card design with bleed is printed at 96mm x 56mm and then cut down to size, giving the appearance that the printing "bleeds" off the edge of the card, rather than having white borders.
Play it Safe near the Borders
Because cutting may vary ever so slightly, it's a good idea to keep all of your valuable text and logo information within the design margin area. This zone is about 3mm to 4mm around the margin of your card. Make sure your text is within the safe working area of your card. You wouldn't want to have the last digit of your phone number trimmed off.
Two-Sided Business Cards and Custom Business Cards
Using double-sided business cards is a good idea when you need more space to work with or want to provide a special offer or extra info about your company or product. Create a separate page in your file for the back side, keeping each page with the size specifications above. There are many options available for commercial printing of custom business cards including round corners and custom printing effects. Contact Us to find out how we can make your company stick out from the rest.

Since there are no muscles to tone under the chin, no amount of "chin exercise" can rid you of excessive fullness in this area. Furthermore, double-chins don't necessarily come from being overweight and can be simply hereditary. With more focus on social media profiles, people just like you often don't like the appearance of their neck and jawline and may even use filters to alter the contour digitally. As a result, Dr. Elizabeth has treated many young, fit patients with chin and neck lipocontouring and skin tightening, and our exclusive "ProfileLift" has become one of our most popular procedures! By combining liposuction with the latest advanced laser technology to facilitate additional skin tightening, this optimizes the improvement in the neck and chin contour. This innovative Signature "ProfileLift" is offered only at Atlanta Face & Body. To address both jowling and submental fullness, our exclusive "No Incision" Signature PrecisionLift and advanced laser technology combined with liposuction can greatly improve the contours of the jawline and neck.
An almost "incisionless" procedure, access points are created under the chin and typically at the base of the earlobe as well for contouring of the jawline. The laser fiber allows Dr. Elizabeth to perfectly target the smaller volumes of excess fat or skin under the chin, both breaking up the fat and tightening the loose skin. This means that incisions and the resulting scars are smaller and swelling and bruising are minimized.
The Signature ProfileLift or Signature PrecisionLift can be performed in less than an hour. For the first few days of recovery, you'll wear a compression bandage over the treated area. Your neck may show some swelling and bruising, but this diminishes in as little as a week.

As you consider pet friendly travel, you are going to need to learn all you can about communicating with your pet. Pet friendly hotels are not welcoming of aggressive animals, so you will need to know how to spot potential problems and stop them before they escalate. Understanding your pet's body language can help with this.
First and foremost, make sure you always interpret your pet's body language in context. Playful behavior and aggressive behavior can be quite similar in the way they look, so you will need to know what is going on before you determine what your pet is saying to you.
However, there are some signs that are easy to spot. In dogs, if the dog's tail is wagging vigorously, his ears are up and forward, his lips are soft and floppy, and his tongue is out and loose, he is probably happy and playful. If his mouth is closed or tight, his ears are back and his eyes show white "half moons," he is likely feeling aggressive or scared, and should be left alone.
The body language of cats is not always as obvious. When their eyes are wide and alert and the body is in a semi-crouched position with the mouth slightly open, they are in "predatory" mode and are likely hunting something. However, if the cat puffs up his tail and arches his back with the same wide eyes, then he is in "fight or flight" mode, and could attack.
The longer you live with your pets, the more comfortable you will become with reading their body language. Take the time to get to know them, and you will see that they are definitely talking to you, just without words.

So atheists are smarter than religious folk.
A number of my atheist friends on social networks have rather gleefully been posting this story today: Science has now proven that atheists are more intelligent than religious people.
The Independent writes,
A new review of 63 scientific studies stretching back over decades has concluded that religious people are less intelligent than non-believers.
A piece of University of Rochester analysis, led by Professor Miron Zuckerman, found "a reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity" in 53 out of 63 studies.
According to the study entitled, 'The Relation Between Intelligence and Religiosity: A Meta-Analysis and Some Proposed Explanations', published in the 'Personality and Social Psychology Review', even during early years the more intelligent a child is the more likely it would be to turn away from religion.
In old age above average intelligence people are less likely to believe, the researchers also found.
And so on.
There are legitimate methodological concerns to be raised, especially in terms of how religion is defined and measured. According to the researchers, religiosity is defined as "involvement in some (or all) facets of religion." Uh, what? Not exactly clear. And, as the Independent article mentions, the study measures analytic intelligence, not emotional or social.
Speaking of which, intelligence is defined by the psychologists thusly:
the "ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience".
Some of the reactions I have seen on said social networks from religious people have been a bit panicked, ranging from half-assed deconstructions to sarcastic dismissals.
But I don't think us religious folk should be too worried. Nor should atheists be too proud of themselves.
Because intelligence isn't a virtue in and of itself.
According to the Catholic Catechism, virtues are "firm attitudes, stable dispositions, habitual perfections of intellect and will that govern our actions, order our passions, and guide our conduct according to reason and faith. They make possible ease, self-mastery, and joy in leading a morally good life. The virtuous man is he who freely practices the good." So virtues, like the cardinal ones (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) are life habits that morally shape individuals and orient their characters towards the good.
Intelligence does not necessarily do that. It took "ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience" to conceive of and organise the holocaust. The atomic bomb was built by the smartest people in the world.
There's something about our culture that instinctively sees intelligence as a good thing. But upon reflection, in and of itself, intelligence is neither good nor bad. It can serve the good immensely, yes. But likewise it can enable the bad in absolutely horrifying ways. It's not a virtue. It can be helpful, but only to the extent that its use is shaped by the virtues. So while today's study is interesting and all, its significance – morally, at least – shouldn't be overemphasised, neither by atheists nor religious people.

Consilium Staffing, Your Partner in Locum Tenens, has a New Home!
Consilium Staffing relocated its headquarters and is now located at 6225 North State Highway 161, Suite 400, Irving TX 75038. The move comes in response to tremendous growth in 2012 and plans for additional expansion in 2013.
"We feel blessed, and are extremely grateful to our clients, to have had the level of success and growth that we experienced last year," Said Matt Baade, Executive Vice President for Consilium. "But we are just getting started. This move to the beautiful 161 Corporate Center building is a sign of what we have accomplished, but is really more indicative of what we will accomplish."
Last year, Consilium expanded by creating Primary Care, Psychiatry, Hospitalist and Emergency Medicine focused teams. The move to the 161 Corporate Center more than doubles the square footage of the Consilium headquarters and allows Consilium to continue to expand their locum tenens services. "We have big plans for the future, and now we have the space we need to execute those plans."
Consilium made the move to the new facilities over the last week of December, 2012 and the first week of January, 2013. "Moving can be a real challenge and a real distraction, but our move went about as smoothly as it possibly could have," said Baade. "Our Consilium team members were instrumental in the transition. It was true team effort and we were operating at full capacity on day one at our new location."
Baade added, "A big thanks goes to Luke Davis of Stream Realty Partners for locating the new home for Consilium."

Both moms and kids profit from breast milk. With a powerful history in Indigenous authorized training, developing energy in dispute decision and access to justice, and main rising students within the fields of constitutional law, health law, prison law and business law, the college also affords a extremely-regarded mooting program, joint diploma programs and international alternate alternatives.
§ a hundred forty five.894 directs the state commissioner of well being to develop and implement a public schooling program promoting the provisions of the Maternal and Youngster Nutrition Act. The Faculty of Law prides itself on providing an modern, enriching, pupil-centred learning atmosphere for our seven-hundred or so college students. Interviews with scores of state officers, authorized-companies advocates and labor specialists point out that the failure to enforce minimal wages touches each corner of the country, however is especially acute within the six states that don't have any investigators probing wage violations in any respect.
David Weil, who headed the Wage and Hour department under Obama, mentioned that rebuke needs to be considered in context: Fully 76 {a1a37d972dbe6cefb7cb20d888a25bc52c3b0cf1b206021b9b8cb5a506879e7a} of again wages are paid directly to staff by their employers, he mentioned, and the quantity returned to Treasury represents solely 5 p.c of the entire owed. If the royal succession law had been invalidated by the court docket, the federal authorities can be confronted with a choice: refuse to the touch the Constitution and default on Canada's obligations to the Commonwealth, or open a doubtlessly contentious spherical constitutional negotiations, where the provinces could bring demands to the desk.
In general, bigger companies avoid the risk of violating wage-and-hour laws by preserving low-wage workers off the payroll. Till they do that, advocates say, the nation's wage-and-hour laws will likely be followed solely when employers feel like doing so. Generally, Moore will advise complainants that they'd be higher off hiring a private attorney or taking their cases to the federal Labor Department.

(Independent contractors, who theoretically work on their very own, should not covered by minimum-wage laws.) All three downstream arrangements squeeze revenue margins, creating, for contractors and franchisees, a possible incentive to chop corners on labor laws.

Day 315 (Indonesia – Flores Day 32)
There was very little we had to do today. After a sleep in and another humungous breakfast, Jayden, Megs and I headed into town to return our scooters. The lady who served us tried to make a point of scratches on one scooter and called the owner to come and have a look. Fortunately, I'd made a point of taking a bunch of photos so we knew the scratches weren't new, as did the owner, who gave us no trouble. Next up was a traditional massage at Flores Spa. Having my now-muscly legs massaged felt so incredibly good. We had lunch at La Cucina, where I ordered an octopus pizza. After collecting a bunch of cash for our impending boat trip, we chilled out at Made In Italy where we had coffee and milkshakes. Back at home, Jayden and I relaxed at the pool with a beer and chatted to a Polish guest. I got excited when the Polish guy said Steve Backshall (my idol) was on the same plane as him as he came into Labuan Bajo. This means Steve is on the island somewhere, no doubt having an awesome adventure as part of a TV series. Maybe I will bump into him on Komodo tomorrow! In the evening, we went to Paradise to meet up with our boat captain and pay for our trip, then visited the night market for dinner. I stupidly left my beloved drink bottle behind so I now face the challenge of trying to get it back.

In an instant, Qing Shui and the Battle God Statue swapped positions. After the swap, Qing Shui directly entered into the middle of the formation. At the same time, the Demon Lord also entered the formation. Both of them were stunned once they were inside.
Ancient Formation!
This was the Ancient Formation? Qing Shui could see that there was fog everywhere. Additionally, there was a heavy killing intent around and an Eight Trigrams drawing at the bottom of the formation. Moreover, Qing Shui saw that within the formation, there was an elder who was struggling inside.
He was not certain what this formation was, but he knew that this was at least a type of trap formation. In terms of killing techniques, it had the Battle God Statue outside. After a while, the struggling elder finally found the door to leave the formation.
Qing Shui observed for a bit and figured it out. If they moved forward more than halfway towards position the formation, the Battle God Statue will give up on attacking. He looked at the Demon Lord and said, "Don't leave the formation. Move at least one half of the way and wait for me there."
Suddenly, the Battle God Statue rushed over with the momentum of a stampede!
Nine Palace Step!
Qing Shui's footwork helped him completely dodged all of the Battle God Statue's attacks. The Battle God Statue that had been tangled did not look like it was using extra effort. Earlier, Qing Shui wanted the Demon Lord to wait for him so they could enter together without being ambushed.
When the Demon Lord arrived at the location that was a bit more than halfway through the formation, Qing Shui flashed over and instantly appeared next to the Demon Lord's side. He appeared very close her, to the point where he could smell her fragrant scent
The entrance to the formation was already this difficult to deal with, the lower palaces would undoubtedly bring unprecedented danger to them. Since Qing Shui had already encountered the Ancient Divine Shrine, he wanted whatever it was inside.
Though he had never seen this Ancient Divine Shrine before, he knew that there were good items inside. Any Ancient Divine Shrines with restrictions were bound to have good items inside.
Once Qing Shui and the Demon Lord left the formation, they felt a strong sense of danger and was followed up by an overwhelming killing intent. It felt like an overflowing energy that was rushing towards them
Qing Shui did not think too much. This power was too strong, so he grabbed onto the Demon Lord's hand and instantly cast his Nine Palace Steps.
He did this because his spiritual sense had already locked on to something a while ago.
Nine Palace Steps, Vanish!
Qing Shui and the Demon Lord disappeared from their location!
Bang bang bang……
The place where the two stood before suddenly turned into a complete mess, even refined gold would turn into dust at that level of destruction. The two of them, hand-in-hand teleported several thousand of meters away. Only after they managed to stand firm on the ground did Qing Shui turned around to look at who had attacked him and the Demon Lord. It was a group of three elders, but he did not know which one of them had attacked.
Regardless of what or whom, it was without a doubt a Sure Kill Heavenly Technique.
Suddenly, his hand felt a feeling of softness and warmth. It felt so delicate that it could melt his heart and had a miraculous feeling that he could not describe with words. He finally noticed that he was still holding the Demon Lord's soft hand.
"Can you let go?" The Demon Lord's voice was cold but it was natural, without any emotional fluctuations.
"Yes, of course, I can. I really like you, you should consider me first," Qing Shui smiled as he said. Last time, he already thought it through. Towards this woman he had to be as thick skinned as the city's walls or otherwise, he would have no chance. Since there was no worst result, anything would be better than their current stalemate situation.
The Demon Lord did not think Qing Shui would suddenly be so bold. He suddenly said these words in front of her, and she responded in her usual coldness, "I don't like you, nor do I like men."
"…" Qing Shui almost choked until he was half dead.
As he heard those words, Qing Shui was ecstatic within his heart. Those words were proof that there were emotional fluctuations within the Demon Lord's heart. Even if it was little, he had already filtered out the other words she said.
Right now, Qing Shui could see the situation within this Battle God Mountain. Other than the center of the formation was a giant, divine shrine.
Ancient Divine Shrine!
This building exceeded even the heights of the clouds, the upper levels were emitting an ancient aura. It was covered with an everlasting, ancient-like aura that made people's heart tremble.
There was no Guardian Ancient Beasts in sight. They currently should be inside the divine shrine.
The three elders across from them were all wearing different clothes. One of them wore the clothing of the Sword Heart Pavilion. No wonder the elder from the Sword Heart Pavilion was so arrogant, one of them had already rushed in here.
"Just like those outside, all of you are not real men but men without any balls," Qing Shui said directly towards the people on the other side. Even if they were far away, they could still hear him clearly.
The Demon Lord did not look at Qing Shui. However, her body was still swaying slightly, as if it was restraining something.
"Since you guys came out, then we shall fight here until one side dies. This will save us from having a battle later," the elder in the middle elder with a vigorous appearance said.
"You think that if we don't stop you, you could successfully enter the Ancient Divine Shrine?" Qing Shui laughed as he looked at the opposition.
"Without your interference, of course, we can enter the Ancient Divine Shrine," one of the elders said with utmost confidence.
"Have you heard of the Guardian Ancient Beasts?" Qing Shui laughed as he asked.
"Of course we have. Are you telling me there are Guardian Ancient Beasts here? If there was a formation technique outside, then there will be no Guardian Ancient Beast inside. Do you not know this common knowledge?" One of the elders mocked.
Qing Shui thought about what the Ancient Fire Snake had said. There should be no mistake on what it said, the spiritual intelligence of beasts was strong. He laughed, "I won't stop you guys, but do you dare to enter the Ancient Divine Shrine?"
"You're just deliberately trying to complicate things. If that is the case, we will just enter first." The elder finished speaking and entered the shrine hall.
The surrounding area was filled with towering ancient trees. They were rare, but most of the trees were only pine trees. They looked especially vigorous and gave off a feeling of standing tall and never conceding until the end.
The Demon Lord didn't react as she watched the elders enter. This woman was forever frigid. In a certain sense, people wouldn't feel that they were being snubbed. She was just like a crane in a flock of chicken. Moreover, she was not just like any other crane but a red-crowned crane. She emitted a sense of self-assured superiority. Rather than feeling that she gave them a cold shoulder, people would feel unworthy of standing next to this heavenly beauty
Within the Ancient Divine Shrine, nothing could be heard. It was as if a stone had sunk into a deep, silent ocean.
"We should enter, let's see what good stuff is inside," Qing Shui laughed.
"En, be careful!" The Demon Lord thought for a bit and said. She then slowly moved towards the Ancient Divine Shrine.
Qing Shui was ecstatic in his heart. This time, he felt that those words carried something different.
The Ancient Divine Shrine was too big, it was larger than any open area mall in his past life. It was also not as simple as several dozen stone houses, the architecture of the building must have taken a long time to build. The materials used were also unique and had a special restriction, it could resist earthquakes and even counteract any force. Unfortunately, these materials could not be used to make an armor, otherwise, it would be invincible.
Once they entered, they could see a huge space before them.
Stone Beast!
There was also an ancient and old looking box. The three elders stood outside, one of them was injured.
"How is it? Does this count as a Guardian Ancient Beast?" Qing Shui greeted them as he walked.
"This is the first stage of the shrine, it's not easy to attack this Stone Beast. Its strength is formidable and nothing can shake it. That treasure box should have a treasure inside, why don't you guys try to see if you can get it or not?" One of the elders said slowly as he looked at Qing Shui and the Demon Lord.
"Can you not take it though? If you can't make it through you should probably retreat." Qing Shui looked at the elder.
"Hmph, we're giving you a chance. If you don't want to take it or are you waiting for us to defeat the Stone Beast and then steal the treasure box?" The elder looked at Qing Shui, seemingly wanting to annihilate both of them.
"I don't have time to play with you guys as I have to go to the next level. You guys enjoy your time with the Stone Beast!"
Qing Shui looked at the door behind the Stone Beast when he spoke.
The Stone Beast in front of them looked like a giant stone boar. It was 300 meters tall, with a giant grey body that would leave anyone speechless. The Stone Beast was given Divine Sense. It was carved out of a special type of rock. Its movements were simple and it only relied on its fierce power, sharp claws, and jaws. These were enough to make it unbearable for some.
"Dream on. If you don't beat the Stone Beast, you can't enter," The elder said with disdain as he looked at Qing Shui.
"Watch how we enter."
Qing Shui summoned the Dragon Slaying Beast, then he suddenly rushed towards the Stone Beast.
This Stone Beast's divine sense only allowed him to move within a certain perimeter. Once something had entered the perimeter, the Stone Beast would attack it.
To guard the treasure box and door behind it, the area the Stone Beast could move around was not large. However, trying to kill the Stone Beast from afar was impossible. Qing Shui did not know if the indomitable Dragon Slaying Beast could pass through the Stone Beast or not.
With this Stone Beast's Divine Sense, if the Dragon Slaying Beast's beast could not break through, then the Dragon Slaying Beast would be sent flying. The Dragon Slaying Beast's indomitable abilities weren't able to penetrate everything, especially this Stone Beast. However, it could be possible.
The door behind the stone beast was open. They could enter as long as they could pass thru the Stone Beast. However, the stone door was not very big and was also blocked by the Stone Beast. Even if they could lure it away, it would still block the door. It was a type of guardian that would guard the objective even in death.
Qing Shui used the Nine Palace Steps but no matter what he did, the Stone Beast would not leave the vicinity of the stone door. It would also continuously attack using the mystical powers of its body. The Stone Beast was like a robot that would never get tired. Other than eliminating it, there seemed to be no other way to enter.
Qing Shui did not know how he would deal with this tricky situation in front of him. He already landed many attacks on the Stone Beast but it seemed that Qing Shui's attacks had no effect on it.
"Haha, all words and nothing to show for. Doesn't your actions result in the same thing…"
The elder took the opportunity to mock Qing Shui.
Qing Shui was a bit annoyed. The Dragon Slaying Beast constantly cast Ice Bullet Attack on the Stone Beast several hundreds of times. However, this was his only method.
Ignoring everything to do with level or grades, it had a chance to freeze the target.
Even if the chance was small, it was still a chance. Qing Shui was waiting for it.
"I say, are you guys even going to make it. If not, retreat then. In any case, you guys won't be able to retrieve the treasure here, so stop trying to get yourselves in trouble."
After the elder's words were finished, the giant Stone Beast was frozen by a large piece of ice on its body. Qing Shui once again grabbed the Demon Lord and blinked without any hesitation.
Nine Palace Steps, Displacement!
Qing Shui was the king within the Nine Palace, allow this giant statue to shift slightly was still alright, there was a crack that would allow one person to squeeze through, they rushed towards the crack. The Dragon Slaying Beast had already passed through.
He also squeezed through as they flashed over. At that moment, Qing Shui and the Demon Lord were facing each other. He could feel the softness in front of his chest and the light touch of her lips on his, the feeling was intoxicating. In this small crack, the two of them were glued together. It was a tight fit to get through, especially when the Demon Lord's breast were so plump.

Four Bainbridge Islanders were appointed to committees this week to write statements for the Kitsap County Voters Pamphlet supporting and opposing the "Connecting Bainbridge: SAFE Mobility Levy" that will be on the November ballot. The committees include:
Pro Committee: Loanne Harmeling, Herbert Hethcote, Jon Quitslund
Con Committee: Doug Rauh
The City received five applications for the Pro Committee and members were selected in a random drawing, as there is a limit of three members per committee. Doug Rauh was the only applicant for the Con committee.
The Pro and Con Committees will prepare written arguments and rebuttals on the ballot measure. Each committee's statements for the Voters Pamphlet are a maximum of 250 words and are due to Kitsap County Elections on August 13. The rebuttal statements are limited to 75 words and are due by August 20. Please see pages 14-15 of the 2018 Candidate and Measures Guidelines book for specifications.
If passed by the voters, the levy lid lift will raise $15 million over seven years to pay for non-motorized transportation projects that would include: building new trails and safe routes to schools, sidewalk improvements and shoulder widening. A small percentage would be used as an "opportunity bucket" for any opportunities that may arise during the seven-year period. A group of Islanders, who represent multiple Island demographics, would choose the projects to be built using the ballot proposition funding.
The estimated increase to the property tax rate is $0.28/$1,000 of assessed value. If the levy is approved, the owner of a $660,000 home (median value) would pay $185 in property taxes per year over a seven-year period.
The City Council convened a citizen task force in 2017 and asked this group to examine options and provide recommendations for funding transportation infrastructure improvements on Bainbridge Island.
At the June 5, 2018 Council Study Session, the task force presented its recommendations for non-motorized transportation improvements to the Council. The recommendations included $15 million in new revenue to be dedicated to non-motorized transportation. The Council then identified a property tax lid lift as the preferred method to raise the $15 million over a period of seven years. A property tax lid lift is a voter-approved increase in property taxes above the one percent increase limit set by state law.
At the Council's June 19 Study Session, the Council conducted the first reading of a property tax lid lift ordinance and discussed the option of placing a levy lid lift proposition on the ballot in the fall of 2018.
During the July 24 City Council Business Meeting, the Council approved Resolution 2018-21 that explains how the funds raised by the ballot measure will be used and how the public will be involved in making decisions on the use of ballot measure funds.
