The first all-female hard rock formation in Germany, Rosy Vista, have reunite after 35 years after the band's launch. The band from Hanover, released an EP ("You Better Believe It", 1985) and two singles ("Tables Are Turned" and "Sound Of Your Love") and played in concerts with acts such as Uriah Heep, Joe Cocker or Mötley Crüe.
But the band were missing and album and now it will finally see the light. Its title says it all, "Unbelievable". The band's lineup stays almost the same, featuring Anca Graterol (guitars), Andrea Schwarz (vocals) and Marina Hlubek (drums). New to the band is bassist Angela Mann.
Unbelievable consists of twelve songs (eleven originals plus one cover), six of them brand-new compositions penned by all four musicians together, plus five tracks from their 1985 EP, all of them updated and rerecorded, as well as a cover version of the Steppenwolf classic "Born To Be Wild". The official release party will be at the Hanover Musikzentrum on 9 February 2019. Just in case if you'll have medical tests after the party, check this site for great tips to consider.

Three Months Down In Federal Prison
Well, as Justin assured me I would, I have survived my first 3 months in Prison. At times it has felt like a year. Here are some random thoughts and observations:
1. I have read 17 books, I have lost 19 pounds and I have jogged approximately 210 miles.
2. As I stated before, Time passes slowly in Prison. You have to engage in a multitude of activities (reading, writing, exercising, classes, etc.) to try and make the time pass in a productive fashion.
3. Federal Prison costs money. I spend around $ 140.00 per month on Telephone and Email services. At the beginning of your sentence, you have to purchase casual clothing (sweats, shorts, tennis shoes, underwear and socks) so you can exercise.
Each month you need to purchase personal hygiene supplies including aspirin, tooth paste, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, etc. Some prisoners spend $ 200.00 per month on food from the prison commissary as they refuse to eat prison food. I spend very little on food but i do purchase protein bars, tuna packs and chicken packs to supplement the high carb/high starch diet in the chow hall.
4. Prison will dehumanize you if you let it. Prison is full of people who are angry, sad and depressed. Living 24/7 in close quarters with people in this frame of mind can cause you to begin to assimilate these characteristics. I try to live each day using proper manners and trying to interact with positive people who are planning on living productive and lawful lives upon their release. Positive people are around, you just have to find them.
5. Planning for your Post Prison life should start upon your arrival at Prison. Rather than wallowing in self-pity or simply shutting down, A prisoner needs to work on a plan to emerge from Prison a better person capable of living a productive life. That may require the prisoner to take a variety of actions to produce the desired result. It could be classes at the local college. It could be reading and writing. It could mean self-help books or taking advantage of prison mental health services. It could mean reaching out to folks in your network to maintain contacts who may be able to assist you with employment opportunities down the road.
Upon entering Prison, many people feel their lives are over. I disagree. The conduct that placed Me in Prison is a snapshot of my life at a desperate and depressing time. It is not the moment that will define the remainder of my life.

VIDEO: MODIFIED Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons TAKE OVER London!
This past summer we've been to London a few days and spotted an incredible amount of modified Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons driving around the city centre of London! It seems like the G-Wagon is one of the most popular cars amongst the rich celebrating their holidays in London. Which G-Wagon in this video is your favorite?

Contributing columnist April 19 at 4:43 PM
Robert S. Mueller III is a distinguished public servant. But his much-anticipated report comes up short in many respects, and Democrats made a mistake to put so much confidence in it as the touchstone of accountability for President Trump and his campaign.
Congress's choice to "wait for Mueller" before pressing an investigation of Trump wrongly elevated a report that was always — by design — going to use a narrow aperture and a very specific standard to examine the events of 2016 and their aftermath. As a result, some Democrats on Capitol Hill are foolishly pointing to the report as a rationale for not pursuing a thorough investigation of the president and his team — a letdown for democracy resulting from a misguided buildup of Mueller.
The oft-repeated wisdom that Mueller "knew things we did not know" turned out to be vastly overestimated. Many of Trump's worst acts — his encouragement of Russia to illegally spy on his opponent; his repeated use of materials stolen by foreign intelligence assets as fodder for the campaign; the firings, inducements and intimidations to shut down investigations — were all known; the anticipation that Mueller still had "a smoking gun" in his pocket unfortunately normalized the ghastly things that were already public. It turns out — thanks to a combination of ongoing indictments and brilliant journalism — we had Mueller's key findings months ago; their public release was more reprise than reveal.
But if expectations were too high for Mueller's report, the inevitable disappointment was exacerbated by how Mueller fell short in what he delivered.
This starts with his failure to get Trump to answer questions in person. There was ample precedent for insisting on such an interview: Bill Clinton testified before a grand jury in the Whitewater investigation; George W. Bush submitted to an interview with special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald about the Valerie Plame matter. In this case, with uncertainty about what the president knew about his son Donald Trump Jr.'s coordination with foreign hackers and meddlers; with the president at the center of lies about dealings and meetings with Russians; and with doubts about why the president did so many things to try to derail Mueller's probe — commonly seen as indications of guilt — why didn't Mueller press harder to question the president directly?
Some have argued that Mueller did not question Trump because it is common for prosecutors not to question targets of their probes; others suggest that it was because Mueller believed that Trump would assert his Fifth Amendment rights. But Mueller's report does not offer either of these rationales — and if the sitting president's intent was to take the Fifth, that should have been put on the record.
Instead, Mueller only offers the wan explanation that — by the time he formally asked for an interview with Trump (Dec. 3, 2018) — he already had "substantial evidence" about the events being investigated, and therefore, "the costs of potentially lengthy constitutional litigation, with resulting delay in finishing our investigation, [outweighed] . . . the anticipated benefits for our investigation and report."
[Randall D. Eliason: William Barr's incredibly misleading words]
This reflects two mistakes of historic proportion. First, by delaying the question of Trump's interview until month 19 of his tenure, Mueller allowed Trump to run out the clock — a grave tactical error. And second, in an investigation of this public import, getting "substantial evidence" but not the word of the president himself fails to fulfill the special responsibility of a special counsel. In a run-of-the-mill criminal case, a prosecutor's decision to bypass questioning a difficult figure might make sense; when we are seeking to learn whether a presidential candidate worked with a hostile foreign power to win an election, the public deserves to have that candidate answer questions under oath.
Finally, some of Mueller's other decisions should be publicly debated. His determination not to bring campaign finance charges against Trump Jr. for soliciting foreign assistance to damage Hillary Clinton's campaign has been blasted by one of the foremost election law experts, as it turned on a curious view that Mueller could not prove the value of the assistance Russians dangled in front of Trump Jr., and that a prosecution for solicitation of foreign election assistance raised "First Amendment concerns."
Most important, Mueller's decision not to also bring charges against Trump Jr. — a private citizen, not protected by any Justice Department policy against prosecution — for conspiring with WikiLeaks (either as a violation of campaign finance laws or other statutes) remains a mystery given the extensive evidence of direct interactions between Trump Jr. and the WikiLeaks team. It is this Mueller decision — which enabled Trump's "no collusion" boast — that merits the greatest scrutiny in the days ahead.
In sum, Mueller has served our country well for decades and deserves respect. But he might not have met the full measure of his duty in this latest assignment. If Congress allows his report to be the last word about accountability for the president and his people, it will fail its duty as well.

Tummy Time Tuesday_SF Magick Squares
Quick story:
I'm the Magick Square Queen. It's one of the first things I ever made well, and I kept making them...verrry well. I don't want to consider the calories nor the sugar content of a "real" magick square.
(I spell it with a "k" because when I was first baking at age 12 I also believed myself a witch and dabbled in wicca and sorcery and the like....the "k" is common in wiccan texts.)
Embarrassing childhood phases aside.....remember Gollum Grub? Probably not, it was one of my very first posts and that was a spin off of my Magick Square recipe. Here is another that is vegan and sugar free unlike any I have made before...just as delicious.
1c oat bran
1/2c rolled oats
1 mashed banana
1 (14oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
1c unsweetened Baker's chocolate, chopped (this may be too much for you, add other chocolates due to your taste)
1c chopped dates
1 1/3c flaked unsweetened coconut
1 c chopped nuts (I like a mix of pecans and walnuts)
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Mix oat bran and rolled oats. Set aside 1/3c coconut.
2. Mash banana and heat in microwave 30 seconds, add to oat mixture and combine as well as you can.
3. Press into bottom of 9x13in pan.
4. Pour 1/3 can of coconut milk on top and spread to even out.
5. Combine 1c flaked coconut, chocolate, dates, and nuts in a bowl, sprinkle half the mixture on top.
6. Pour another 1/3 of the can of coconut milk on top and spread that out.
7. Sprinkle next half of the coconut, date, nut mixture on top of coconut milk layer.
8. Pour the rest of the coconut milk on top, smooth, and finish with last 1/3c of flaked coconut.
9. Bake for 25 minutes or until the coconut browns.
10. Cool for at least two hours before cutting.
11. Store in refridgerator!
These are just as good as the ones I have made for years with real ingredients!

It might seem like everyone is moving towards cloud deployments flawlessly, but no transition is going to be bump-free. According to CDW, a technology solutions company, organizations struggle the most with migration and integration. In their Cloud 401: Navigating Advanced Topics in Cloud Computing Study, survey respondents reiterated what they've been saying for years: Reliability is critical. The survey is designed to identify challenges and successes that companies face when embracing new cloud solutions. Over 1,200 IT workers in a number of industries responded, noting their experiences in everything from data to application services.
By far, the biggest obstacles were migration and integration—a whopping 59 percent said they would like to take advantage of more cloud services. However, the migration and integration were just too complex and time consuming. Many respondents said they felt "held back" by the complicated process. Worse, a majority of respondents said they thought cloud services were overall affordable to purchase but turned costly when it came to integration.
Getting Their Heads in the Clouds
However, just because organizations are wary of the integration and migration steps, that doesn't mean they're opting out of cloud services. Over 33 percent of IT services involve the cloud according to the survey. Plus, respondents said they're going to keep integrating cloud. It's expected that 35 percent of all new IT services will involve cloud technology.
According to the CP of cloud and managed solutions at CDW, Stephen Braat, "This study provides a clear understanding of where cloud computing is most widely adopted along with the hurdles organizations encounter in adding cloud to their IT mix. Cloud services have such great appeal that departments outside IT are often sourcing them independently, but rather than diminishing IT's role, the data suggests that IT has a more critical role than ever: Integrating cloud with traditional services and architecting for reliability and continuity of service regardless of delivery mode."
Easy Does It
It's no surprise that businesses choose cloud solutions that are easiest to implement first. According to respondents, this usually means web hosting and email. It's pretty simple to transition to cloud-based web hosting: You simply choose a web host that offers it and they'll take care of everything. That's a lot easier than integrating CR management, marketing automation or enterprise resource planning cloud solutions.
However, respondents did note that implementations gets faster and simpler with practice. The survey reveals that the very first cloud implementation averaged respondents 14 weeks, but following implementations took just 10 weeks. A little more practice, and the average time was whittled down to six weeks.
Trust Issues
No matter how long the transition took, respondents say that reliability is their most important factor. In fact, it was ranked as the most critical component by 43 percent of respondents. The runner up was lowest total cost at 25 percent. Unfortunately, 75 percent of respondents noted that they had at least one cloud vendor who didn't meet service agreements or contracts—which is probably why reliability is so important.
Security is another major priority, even though the survey found that only 28 percent of IT professionals considered it their biggest "problem child." Braat says that, "Security is always going to be a top concern for IT with any service, but securing IT assets in the cloud doesn't have to be a dramatic departure from securing assets locally." Security also butts up against costs, since 53 percent of respondent revealed that when they did their financial cloud cost modeling, they were off by over 10 percent.
Security, reliability, ease of transition and costs. Those are the big players when it comes to cloud embracement, and it really comes down to the quality of the vendors you select.

In a situation where enterprise cash flow is not as consistent as it used to be : late payments, debtor count rising and the banking information administration has become more of a overhead. Although the turnover and individual deal count has decreased, this job has not become less of a hustle. Actually, it's the opposite - partly paid invoices, many payments per invoice, last-minute payments often make banking information administration even more difficult and time consuming. But the need for more effective work due to heightened market competition, forces to devote more resources to added value generation and the administration side is left behind.
In order to help enterprises which use HansaWorld Enterprise (HWE) to get to terms with these challenges, we've created the Bank Assistant.
The Bank Assistant is a module which is based on user-configurable functionality. This functionality allows to transfer electronic bank data information transfer directly into HWE. Without the help of bookkeepers, the new functionality identifies customer and invoice, automatically creating the required records in the system - Payments and Transactions. Sign up for a demonstration now!
* Bank Assistant is compatible with banks that support data export in the FiDaViSta format developed by the Latvian Bank Association.
Automatic Reminders is another solution that's originated from a time when debtor control has a special priority for enterprises. This functionality has proven to be a very effective tool that our customers use to control their debtors and improve overall cash flow.
Automatic Reminders allows bookkeeping to forget about due invoices, because HansaWorld Enterprise will do it automatically. This will happen based on previously set up daily intervals where debtors will receive a full report on due invoices along with a notice letter. Again, the content of this notice letter can be customized, depending on the due day count. Sign up for a demonstration now!
In close cooperation with the leading printer cartridge and office equipment maintenance leader in Latvia - Biroja Tehnikas Servisa Centrs - we have developed a unique equipment servicing solution. It is based on HansaWorld Enterprise functionality and is fully integrated with its ERP and CRP functionality.
The solution incorporates automatic servicing and technician appointment scheduling, full servicing history accumulation (logging even the tiniest spare part), spare part ordering, technician time registration and many more diverse functions, which all are characterized by their common aim - to optimize servicing work.
It is possible to connect the Burti Equipment Servicing to a web based Equipment Servicing portal, which offers customers to place servicing requests and see full servicing history over the Internet. If you want to sell your products, we can connect the Servicing Portal with the HansaWolrd Enterprise Web Shop. Sign up for a demonstration now!
With the help of experienced car servicing professionals, we've crafted a solution for small and large car servicing companies - Burti Car Servicing.
This solution is based on HansaWorld standard modules, but its user interface is specifically designed for usage in a car servicing environment, where a workplace with a desk, a workstation and HWE are out of place. At the same time, all ERP and CRM functionality is completely retained, thus the solution is accessible for any requirement - call central, car mechanic, bookkeeping and the CEO. Sign up for a demonstration now!
Sending balance reconcilations takes a lot of your bookeepers time and should be done couple of times a year to get good results.

A Mexican tostada is basically an open-faced quesadilla with endless possibilities for toppings. In this tostada recipe oven-toasted tortillas are topped with spicy sautéed chicken, corn, zucchini; crumbled feta; and tangy avocado-lime salsa. These tostadas are family friendly, adaptable to likes and dislikes, and they're simple to throw together so you can get a delicious Mexican dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less.
There's one concept I can always rely on for making a quick dinner that everyone loves: heap a bunch of stuff onto a tortilla, top with cheese, broil until the cheese is melted and gooey…. Even better when the "stuff" includes lots of fresh veggies.
Recipes like this are why I love summer eating, because in 25 minutes or less you can have a healthy dinner, starring fresh seasonal vegetables, that the whole family loves.
Tostadas are often fried and heavy. Not so here. This recipe, adapted from Cooking Light, is made with flour tortillas that are toasted in the oven. The toasted tortilla "tostada" is topped with a quick sauté of chicken, corn, zucchini, onions, cilantro and cheese.
Once they're loaded up, the tostadas go back under the broiler for a couple of minutes until everything is hot and the cheese is melted.
A generous dollop of tangy avocado salsa or guacamole adds a scrumptious final layer of flavor and excitement.
If you make this tostada recipe from scratch (using raw chicken, fresh corn on the cob, and making your own avocado salsa) you can have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. If you start with cooked chicken, frozen corn and store-bought guacamole, you can pull off dinner in about 15 minutes. I've given you instructions for both the quick and the super quick versions.
If you're thinking that I sound like Rachel Ray, focusing so much on time-saving tips, I have to admit that lately I've been somewhat obsessed with developing quick and easy recipes that are as delicious as can be.
Here are two more quick and delicious family-friendly Mexican dishes you might enjoy – Tex-Mex Tortilla Casserole and Huevos Rancheros.
Cheers to quick delicious dinners!
Here's the recipe for Mexican Chicken Tostada with Corn, Zucchini and Avocado-lime salsa. If you make this I hope you'll come back and leave a comment to let me know what you think.Print

Southern Ash) was Highballs. Aka a "_____ & Soda". I drink quite a lot of high balls. I think this stems from the fact that I am a Drinker first, and someone that gives a shit about fancy drinks second. As a Drinker, it is quite helpful to have something that is moderate enough in alcohol that I can still face tomorrow after 4-to-10 drinks on a Tuesday. I make soda water in 5 gallon kegs and blow through about one a fortnight. Margarett likes me to make the soda water with around 5 volumes of pressure, which I think is double what commercial soda water is. I find that to be on the threshold of painfully fizzy, but it is worth enduring for the times when guests attempt to serve themselves, and the soda water rockets into their glass and sprays their drink all over them.
One of my favorite highballs is the Grapefruit Chuhai served at Tanuki, a weird bar place in Portland. Tanuki is the only place I've ever been close to a regular at, and it's a great place to go if you are able to slam 4 beers during happy hour and then eat 15 different ocean creatures while a giant tv plays videos of tentacle horror softcore. A Chuhai was originally a shochu highball, which through the Japanese love of packaging became a canned Mike's Harder-equse alcoholic soda / premium malt beverage. Tanuki serves theirs with a big whack of bitters in it, which is nice.
While shochu would be a great choice, I selected Taiwanese cooking 'wine' to stay truer to the canned Chuhai experience. Michiu is something like a kome shochu, a spirit distilled from rice. I say something like, because I really don't know much about it except what the label tells me and what light googling yields. I DO know that it costs $5/bottle and is 19.5% abv, and tastes pretty good. This version has no salt added which is HIGHLY IMPORTANT. Is there shame in drinking cooking wine? I say no. Good enough for teens good enough for me.
If you have grapefruit soda I bet that would work. I had a Florida grapefruit that someone mailed me for Christmas because they aren't aware that we have grocery stores in Oregon now. This was great, and I expect the first one will pair well in my stomach with the four that will be following it over the course of Robo Vampire.

Mixology Monday - In Which I Actually Enjoy A Drink For A Change
2 comments:
I just found your post after purchasing a mysterious bottle of alcohol labeled only as "michiu". It seems you are the only person on the internet who advises that it's ok to drink and you're cocktail recipe sounds lovely. In the process of broiling a grapefruit right now, hopefully the michiu I bought isn't the added salt kind...ReplyDelete
Hope that the cocktail worked out for you, and that you didn't get salt poisoning! I really enjoyed your blog just now, especially the poopoo airplane drawing.ReplyDelete

Big Box Sealed
Just heard about this format that has grabbed my attention: Big Box Sealed. Everyone receives a display box of boosters. Opens all 36 boosters, and builds a 40 card deck.
So its just normal sealed, but with 36 boosters instead of 5. It seems to be the most efficient way of having fun while opening boosters, that is if you measure efficiency in terms of packs/hour.
I'm hoping I can get some people together to do it at the cave, please contact me if you'd be interested in doing this with 10th edition (black borders are kewl) or with Lorwyn when they come out.Tagged as : Limited (Draft Or Sealed), Magic the Gathering

The State of Transparency
The word "transparency" has many meanings both within and beyond the sphere of marketing. When we refer to the need for transparency, we as Knotch are simply calling for everyone involved in a marketing campaign to be looking at the same data set…one that is pulled and framed without anyone's interests in mind. We want brands to have access to truly raw data, so that they can make decisions that are informed by the truth.
It seems simple enough, but the fight for transparent data when it comes to reviewing paid content campaigns has been surprisingly drawn out. In the nascent years of brands investing in content marketing, the status quo dictated that they had to rely on numbers provided by the publishers they were paying at face value (or see almost no data at all). That was just the game. Of course, as the environment has matured and the investments have grown, so has the demand for trustworthy, third-party data. That demand is why we as a company exist, but it has much larger implications for the industry - and internet - at large.
In a larger sense, this demand for transparency is also a philosophical one. It is better for everyone - brands, agencies, publishers, and consumers - to exist in an advertising ecosystem wherein the playing field is level and no one feels the need to constantly look over their shoulder. And as social media behemoths like Facebook have proven their influence over world affairs and drawn increasing ethical scrutiny from the global community, the issue of transparency has become much more than an agenda item for a brand and their publisher to argue over. As a whole, the digital community is moving towards a place of necessary clarity. Brands are demanding better for themselves and their customers, walled garden social sites are starting to turn their keys, and, perhaps most importantly, the consumer audience is galvanized and vocal about change in this industry.
Making a prediction about when the marketplace will become completely transparent in some ways feels like a fool's errand, given the turbulent and often confusing path that has lead us to this point. However, the past has a lot to teach us about how these shifts happen - and it all comes down to the leadership of major brands and entities in the space. The slow yet tectonic openings in the major social networks - who are now our biggest media companies, make no mistake - forced by big-name global brands like Unilever and JPMorgan Chase are the most salient signals of a drive towards total transparency. When these companies transition into an open format, the rest of the industry will have no choice but to follow. Optimistically, this will fully take hold within the next several years - the progress made over the past 18 months is slow but incredibly significant. Total trust when it comes to digital media may seem like a moonshot, but the more we can work towards that goal, the better off we'll be

'Gaia' – The perfect channel for Grounding
We all have those days when we get clumsy…drop things… getting lost in our thoughts. We also often miss the road we have to take and struggle to get tasks accomplished. All these signs indicate that we are not grounded.
Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature. When enough sins have accumulated, illnesses will suddenly appear.
" Grounding " means being present .. being in the NOW .. being connected to our roots and Mother Earth. It makes us feel balanced, protected and secure.
It is the most important practice that helps us experience life by living in the moment and to become a conscious co-creator. This practice can be done anytime we feel disconnected .. unable to focus .. exhausted .. and when connecting to Higher Self.
We come into this physical three-dimensional world to experience human life. Our energy body/etheric body is connected to Gaia by a grounding (or etheric) cord. This cord can be visualized as a pipe connected from the root (or feet) chakra going all the way into the core of the Earth, which acts as a two-way channel to send and receive energy.
We are designed to send the toxic energy into the earth, receive pure and charged energy back from Mother earth. However, due to our disconnected lives, we tend to clog these pipes and thus, block the energy flow.
These blocks are the root causes of all our problems and therefore we experience exhaustion .. fatigue .. lack of abundance.. and thus, feel stuck. Hippocrates, father of medicine quoted that, "Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature. When enough sins have accumulated, illnesses will suddenly appear". So, being grounded is very essential for a healthy and happy life.
Crystals are my go-to tools for grounding exercises.
Here are my 3 favorite Must-Have Crystals !!!
"Here is my favorite grounding meditation technique:
This can be done literally anywhere. In your car, before a meeting you go, at a party or any stressful event.
- Sit comfortably on the floor or if you are sitting in a chair both feet must touch the ground. You can even just stand.
- Straighten your back, close your eyes and bring your awareness to the breath. (while doing this you can even hold a crystal in your hand if you wish)
- Visualize yourself as a big strong tree with strong roots.
- Visualize your roots going down deep into the core of the earth.
- See them going through the layers of rock, oceans, deep within Gaia and wrap around the huge iron core.
- Now with your intention when you exhale send all the toxic energies, any pain, confusion from your body into the earth and when you inhale receive pure life force from mother earth.
Do this exercise for a minimum of 7 breaths. You will immediately feel the difference.
You can do this anytime you feel disconnected or just to bring your awareness back to this moment when you feel scattered.
Mother Earth is the greatest healer of all. "Earthing" is the process of being in contact with Earth directly which gives a powerful experience in balancing the flow of energy and this can be achieved by walking barefoot, living in contact with Earth's natural surface charge or meditating on the Earth's surface.

Library of Heaven is Path
264 Heaven"s Path Disguise Ar
Library of Heaven is Path Author:Heng Sao Tian Ya Vote(33) Comment
Chapter 264: Heaven's Path Disguise Art
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: GaiaNove
White clouds floated by and the wind whistled.
The Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast's massive body soared through the skies. Sensing the powerful aura of a Half-Zhizun, the other savage beasts immediately fled in fear.
In the housing on the savage beast's back, Zhang Xuan and Mo Yu were seated opposite to each other.
"There are so many savage beasts in the air. If not for the Howling Firmament Beast, even though our safety wouldn't have been a problem, we would still face quite some hassle with them."
Mo Yu said as she stared out of a window to observe the boundless sky.
Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement.
Through the books in the library, Zhang Xuan had gained some understanding on this matter.
The aerial space may seem peaceful like a safe haven, but in truth, it was actually no different from the world below. In the end, the strong still preyed on the weak.
If the savage beast one rode on wasn't strong enough, there was a probability of it being targeted and attacked by other savage beasts.
This was precisely the reason why the cost of savage beasts increased exponentially along with their cultivation realm.
As much as it was a matter of speed, it was also a matter of safety.
"To find the Poison Hall, we'll have to first head to Red Lotus City!"
After a night of rest, Mo Yu finally managed to suppress her anger and reverted back to the prideful and cold princess.
"Red Lotus City?"
"Right, it is an ancient city at the foot of the Red Lotus Ridge. One has to pass through the city in order to enter the mountains. The person whom I spoke of previously lives in the city." Mo Yu nodded.
"Is he a poison master?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"No, he's a herb king!" Mo Yu replied.
"Herb king?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.
Regardless of whether it was for pill forging or to treat illnesses, there was great demand for medicinal herbs. Herb kings were people who had special connections to those who cultivated, purchased. and sold these medicinal herbs.
Given the sinister nature of the Poison Hall, why would a herb king have ties with it?
"This is a classified secret of the kingdom. I only happened to overhear people speaking of it."
Frowning, Mo Yu explained, "The Poison Hall is hidden in the depths of the mountains. Every year, countless people attempt to scale the mountain in hopes of learning the Way of Poison. However, most of them end up dying because of the poisonous mist. Rumor has it that the only way to find the Poison Hall is through the herb kings. The reason is that the Poison Hall requires intermediaries to purchase a large amount of medicinal herbs for the crafting of poison, as well as to sell their poison... And the intermediaries are the herb kings! There is a total of thirteen herb kings in Red Lotus City, and the one that I'm bringing you to is the greatest of them all, the Great Herb King."
"The Great Herb King controls the flow of medicinal herbs in the Red Lotus City, and if anyone has connections to the Poison Hall, it must be him. However..."
Mo Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I heard that the Great Herb King is already advanced in age and has gone into seclusion. It would be almost impossible for us to meet him and get him to bring us to the Poison Hall."
"Impossible? You said that you were going to bring me to the Poison Hall..." Zhang Xuan was speechless.
This person said that she would help me find the Poison Hall. Yet, it turns out that it would be impossible to meet with the Great Herb King and, not to mention, for him to bring me there. What kind of help is this?
"I only said that I will you to find that person. As for whether you can meet him and convince him, that's none of my business!"
Mo Yu said gleefully.
Aren't you always trying to anger me?
See how I'll get back at you!
"Ah, that seems to be the case!"
Recalling carefully, it was true that the other party only mentioned that she would bring him a person who knew the way to the Poison Hall. She had never said that she would bring him to the Poison Hall.
Zhang Xuan felt that he had been taken advantage of, having guided the other party in pill forging only to receive such a miserable amount of information in return.
All along, he had been the one to hoodwink others. To think that this fellow would get the better of him.
Even so, Zhang Xuan wasn't too bothered. Compared to his previous situation, at least he now had an idea of where he should begin to work from.
Mo Yu thought that the other party would panic upon hearing her words. In the end, he only said an 'Ah, that seems to be the case' and fell silent. Sneaking a peek at him, she saw a relaxed expression on the other party's face, as though none of it concerned him.
"Aren't you worried that the other party might refuse to meet you?" After a moment, Mo Yu couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore.
I said that the Great Herb King is advanced in age and doesn't meet anyone. Why isn't this fellow flustered at all?
"Of course I'm worried!" Zhang Xuan replied.
"Then, you..." Mo Yu blinked in surprize. Is this how you look when you're worried? I can't tell at all.
"But there's no use worrying about it. Rather than wasting my time, I might as well think about when you'll pay me my money..."
At this point, Zhang Xuan stared at her doubtfully, "Right, can it be that your identity as a princess is impersonated? Otherwise, how can you be so poor? Having not paid the fee, how can you be so thick-skinned as to ride on my Beast Mount?"
Mo Yu's slender body swayed violently.
She initially thought that she had finally won one over Zhang Xuan and would be able to admire the exasperated look on his face, but contrary to her expectations, he appeared completely calm. On the other hand, the moment he spoke, her rage soared once more.
Damn it!
I knew that nothing good can come out from this man's mouth...
Looks like I should avoid talking to him in the future. Otherwise, it would just be a matter of time before I die from his words...
Mo Yu ground her teeth together, but she didn't dare to say anything else. She decided to ignore the other party and pouted her mouth.
"Sigh, despite owing money, you refuse to let me speak about it. Why are people so thick-skinned these days?"
Muttering under his breath, Zhang Xuan stretched his back.
Mo Yu felt a strong regret for following this fellow to Red Lotus City.
On seeing her beauty, everyone would always act carefully for fear of offending her. Yet, this fellow managed to push her buttons with every single word he said. It was as if he wouldn't be content until he gave her a heart attack.
How can there be such a fellow in the world?
She thought that she would die from anger in the two-day journey, but unexpectedly, the fellow didn't pay her any attention. Rather, he sat quietly in a corner of the room and remained in... a daze.
"What is he up to?"
Initially, Mo Yu thought that the other party was intentionally putting on an act to vex her. However, his trance lasted for an entire day, and his eyes had reddened in fatigue. Deciding that it was unlikely for the other party to go such great lengths just to prank her, she became perplexed.
Speaking of provoking others, this fellow was capable of murdering with his words.
In terms of talents, even Mo Yu, a renowned genius, wasn't a match for him.
In terms of wisdom, he had been in a mindless daze. What was he up to?
Staring at the fellow before her, she realized that the more she knew about him, the less she comprehended.
Oblivious to the other party's confusion, Zhang Xuan was occupied inside the Library of Heaven's Path, fully engrossed in reading through the books.
Given that his awareness was immersed entirely within the library, it looked as if he was in a daze from the outside.
Zhang Xuan was able to access the books duplicated in the library with a single thought in his mind. However, while they were stored in the library, this knowledge didn't yet actually belong to him. He was still unable to utilize it freely under all situations.
Having transcended into this world for over twenty days, Zhang Xuan knew that he mustn't just rely on the Library of Heaven's Path if he wants to become a true master teacher. He has to read more books and learn more. Only with sufficient knowledge will he be able to reach greater heights.
While the golden book has the effect of assimilating the content within all of the books in the library into his very own knowledge, no one can tell when it would be formed. In any case, since Zhang Xuan didn't have Heaven's Path Divine Art for the Half-Zongshi realm to raise his cultivation and was free, he might as well read some more books and take in more knowledge. Perhaps, it might even turn out to be useful to him later on.
"Hm? To think that there would be so many books on disguising in the Tianxuan Kingdom's Book Collection Vault."
Sweeping through the innumerable books he had collected in the kingdom's Book Collection Vault, Zhang Xuan stopped before a particular bookshelf all of a sudden.
There were more than a thousand books placed on it and all of them were about altering one's appearance and disguise.
"I heard that when Emperor Shen Zhui was younger, he once roamed around the world. Could he have collected these books then? After all, as an emperor, there are too many people who wish to take his life. It would be much safer for him to don a disguise."
An idea popped into Zhang Xuan's mind.
Rumor has it that Emperor Shen Zhui once traveled around the world when he was younger to train himself and to widen his boundaries. However, if he were to have walked around in his original appearance, he would have probably been killed by his enemies back then.
After all, the allure of a throne is too great.
Even blood-related brothers would brutally slaughter one another for that one and only seat.
When Emperor Shen Zhui was traveling around the world, his cultivation had yet to mature. He probably collected these appearance altering and disguise books in consideration for his safety.
"Since there are so many books here, I might be able to form a Heaven's Path secret manual!"
Thinking so, Zhang Xuan started to organize the correct content within the books. Soon, they melded together to form a single book.
"It worked!"
A delighted gleam flashed through Zhang Xuan's eyes.
"The art of disguise is centered around intent. Changing one's appearance with pills and suppressing one's voice is actually the most mediocre type of disguise. A true disguise requires one to have absolute control over their muscles..."
The book was filled with knowledge on disguising oneself.
After having flipped through a few pages, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It was no wonder why Liu Ling and the others could tell that something was amiss when he was disguised as Yang Xuan. After reading through this book, he realized how subpar his disguise then was.
It was due to the lack of powerful experts in Tianxuan Kingdom that no one could see through his disguise.
Otherwise, even if it weren't Tianwu Kingdom, Zhang Xuan's disguise would have been exposed in any other Tier 2 Kingdoms.
Very quickly, he finished reading the entire book.
"Even though these are just the fundamentals to disguising, I should be able to hide my appearance from most people!"
Even though the books in Tianxuan Kingdom covered just the bare fundamentals of disguising, after mastering these, Zhang Xuan was nevertheless able to easily alter his appearance to the extent that even Liu shi and the others would find it difficult to notice.
"This disguising method has a demanding requirement on one's control over their muscles as it works by moving muscles around to change one's appearance. It would be impossible for anyone else to cultivate this technique because being able to control every single muscle in their body is a nearly impossible. However, it's a different story for me! After cultivating the Heaven's Path Golden Body, the muscles in my body have gained immense flexibility and I am able to move them as I please."
Zhang Xuan smiled gently.
Just by reading through the Heaven's Path Disguise Art, Zhang Xuan had more or less mastered the skill.
At this moment, even without using pills for his disguise, Zhang Xuan was able to easily alter his appearance without anyone noticing anything amiss.
With this ability, even if Zhang Xuan was unable to defeat someone, he would be able to avoid him by altering his appearance.
This meant that Zhang Xuan had just gained another mean for survival.
"We've reached!"
Zhang Xuan was about to test out his disguising technique when Mo Yu's voice resounded.
Looking out of the windows, Zhang Xuan could see massive mountains appearing before his eyes.
The entire ridge extended for several thousand kilometers. The barren land was devoid of any greenery and its crimson surface was filled with sand and rocks.
"Is that the Red Lotus Ridge?"
The rise and fall of the geographical terrain extended toward the horizon, and one couldn't see the end with a single glance. It looked as though a massive red lotus had spread across the vast area of the earth.
It was no wonder why Mo Yu said that it would be impossible to locate the hall by casually fumbling around. Given the massive size of the ridge, it would be indeed difficult to discover an intentionally concealed Poison Hall.
"That's right. That over there is Red Lotus City!" Mo Yu pointed.
Following her finger, Zhang Xuan saw an ancient-looking city beneath the glow of the morning sun.

To find the perfect toasted bread, researchers painstakingly toasted more than 2,000 pieces of sliced bread in what must have been the most blatant abuse of grant money since the Hooters and Lube Squirt Gun Experiment. They found that there are certain specific conditions that the best toast in the world must meet. The bread must be exactly 0.55 inches thick. It must be toasted in a 900-watt toaster that is maintained at a steady heat of 309.2 degrees Fahrenheit for exactly three minutes and 36 seconds. Finally, the King of All Toast must be gently moved to a plate that is warmed to 113 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal condensation and slathered with 0.44 grams of butter per square inch.
Well there you go, time to meet the Godhead of all Toastkind and -- aw, shit, all you have is rye? Damn. Well, that's clearly inedible. How about that perfect pancake formula? The problem with pancakes is not the recipe -- anyone can mix up a half-decent batter. The hard part is the flipping. Good thing, then, that scientists have figured out the perfect way to do it. Here's how:
"Dad, you have to stop chanting that formula every time I try to help out with breakfast."
Oh, right. Obviously. We can clearly see that "L" indicates the hand's distance from the inner edge of the pancake, "H" is the height of the flip and "D" is the diameter of the pancake. Still, we can't help but feel that the vast majority of humanity isn't ready to wrestle with equations before their morning coffee, especially when attempting to flip a flat lump of scalding batter.

Varicose vein and arterial diseases are very different. Basically, veins get streched out and arteries become plugged up. Treating one doesn't affect the other. If your veins are working badly and causing symptoms, they meet the criteria for medically necessity and then can be covered under most insurance plans. Even small green and purple veins cause many symptoms, but do not meet the criteria for being covered by insurance. Sclerotherapy when perfomed properly will result in the closure of a treated vein. The blood previously flowing thru these bad veins will be shifted towards the remaining good veins. Your question hints at a good point. If a person has arterial disease affecting the arteries supplying the heart muscle, they often need to have a leg vein removed to bypass a blocked heart artery. One might ask, What if I need that vein in my leg for a future procedure to treat my heart disease?" Well, a diseased vein is not a good "spare part" as it is streched out and may not fit well around the heart. Keeping such a vein "just-in-case" is not a good argument since there are many other blood vessels in the body that can be used as a "spare part". The risks for treating abnormal veins is minimal. A complete list of these may be found at our website.
Excellent question. No getting your varicose veins treated will not increase your risk for heart disease.
Vein problems and cardiovascular disease are unrelated. The leg veins are used in bypass surgery, and since treatment of leg veins involves elimination, normal veins should not be eliminated. Abnormal veins would not be suitable for bypass, and since more stents and less bypass surgery is used to treat cardiovascular disease, there is little lost in treating abnormal veins. Treating abnormal veins by eliminating will not worsen your circulation or lead to cardiovascular disease.
The many causes and risks of cardiovascular vascular disease include genetics, diet, other diseases such as diabetes, and lifestyle choices such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Sclerotherapy uses a non-toxic FDA approved sclerosant that is a medical grade detergent and only has a local effect near the injected vein. The sclerosant works by a mechanism called "protein theft" that is limited to a small area and the sclerosant is inactivated within seconds by its interaction with blood proteins. This treatment does not damage the cardiovascular system and will improved venous circulation by removing dysfunctional veins. New veins will still grow easily throughout your life as needed while dysfunctional veins reduce overall venous flow by increasing venous reflux and venous pressure. Finally, the risk of varicose veins is unrelated to the risk of coronary and arterial disease.
Varicose vein removal does not cause other cardiovascular problems. There is no correlation between leg vein problems, such as varicose veins and venous insufficiency, and heart disease. Nor is there any correlation between leg vein treatment and other cardiovascular problems, such as heart attacks and strokes. Getting varicose veins treated will help improve the long term health of your legs. It may also help reduce your risk of DVT (deep venous thrombosis), which is a dangerous cardiovascular condition. For patients that have a history of heart attacks or coronary artery disease, as well as those patients who have a strong family history of heart disease, consideration needs to be given to saving a section of great saphenous vein in the legs. This vein is sometimes harvested at the time of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and used to perform the coronary bypass around blockages in the arteries on the heart. Getting your varicose and spider veins treated does not put you at risk for needing coronary bypass surgery. If the saphenous veins are ablated in both legs, and later you need coronary bypass surgery, there are other vessels that can be used for the bypass, such as the internal thoracic artery (also called the internal mammary artery), and the radial artery. These days, most coronary artery disease is treated with angioplasty and stents, thus avoiding coronary artery bypass surgery altogether.
The short answer is no. When we treat varicose veins, that means that the vein is defective already and cannot be used for cardiac bypass surgeries. Other veins (mammary...) will be used instead. Regarding sclerotherapy, the volume is so small and the concentration so diluted that the cardiac risks are almost non-existant. Sclerotherapy has been used for over 40 years now with excellent results and almost no cardiac side effects whatsoever.
Treating your venous reflux disease should not cause cardiovascular problems. An ultrasound evaluation will determine which veins are affected by reflux. After this is done, I would be in a better position to advise further.
There is no correlation between varicose veins in the legs and coronary heart disease. Treating varicose veins, which are dysfunctional, does not increase the risk of cardiovascular problems.
No. The veins are very superficial and carry relatively small volumes of blood. They do not have major effects on cardiac function.

Southwestern Seminary renames education school
FORT WORTH, Texas (SWBTS) – Trustees at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary approved the president's recommendation to adopt a new name for the seminary's education school during their fall 2009 trustee meeting, Oct. 21. The School of Educational Ministries, one of Southwestern's six schools, was renamed the Jack D. Terry, Jr., School of Church and Family Ministries, effective immediately.
"The changing face of church life in America and in the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention has revealed an alarming loss of emphasis on the preparation of families in the local church to accomplish tasks assigned by our Lord," President Paige Patterson said in his recommendation to the board of trustees. "To reverse this trend will require innovative and aggressive strategies. Already, Dr. Waylan Owens has been elected as the new dean of the School of Educational Ministries. Major efforts are underway to determine precisely what the churches need and how to meet those needs."
Patterson said that changing the school's name to the Terry School of Church and Family Ministries will encourage this family-oriented approach to ministry. The seminary has also attempted to foster this approach to ministry by establishing a concentration in family ministry and by planning a family ministry conference to be held in Spring 2010. The education school's new name reflects the variety of programs within the school as well as this focus on the family.
"We train leaders for all types of local church ministries, and our emphasis on the primacy of the home in its relationship to the local church is central to all we do," said Waylan Owens, dean of the Terry School of Church and Family Ministries. "In Genesis, God began the family, and in the New Testament, Jesus is the foundation of the church. As a seminary, we do not build new foundations. Rather we serve the local church and the home as the institutions created by our Lord upon which and through which all the work of Christian education, discipleship and leadership must be built."
According to Patterson, the education school's name change also honors "a man who has given as many highly productive years to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, serving in varied positions, as anyone ever has."
"Jack Terry has given an unbelievable 40 years to Southwestern Seminary," Patterson said. "He has taught as a professor, served as the dean of the School of Religious Education and as vice president for institutional advancement, raising significant funds and building long-lasting relationships that continue to benefit the seminary today and into the future. All of this he has accomplished in the context of functioning as 'churchman par excellence.' No one could be more deserving of this honor, but more important is the fact that the seminary will display the model of what education ought to accomplish in our churches by attaching Dr. Terry's name to this vital program."
Terry presently serves as vice president emeritus and special assistant to the president as well as professor of foundations of education at Southwestern.
Before joining Southwestern, Terry was professor of Bible and Religious Education at Hardin Simmons University and served on staff at several Southern Baptist churches as minister of education and minister of music. He also has served as interim pastor for churches in Texas, as well as in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
Born in Houma, La., Terry graduated from East Texas Baptist University in 1956 and from Southwestern Seminary in 1962, 1967 and 1994. He also completed postdoctoral studies at North Texas State University and the University of Heidelberg, Germany. He has been recognized with Outstanding and Distinguished Alumnus awards from both East Texas Baptist University (1974) and Southwestern Seminary (1999). Terry and his wife, Barbara, were married in 1955. They have two children and four grandchildren.
Terry has authored and contributed to several publications, such as Leadership in Higher Education: A Handbook for Practicing Administrators (1983), "The Theological Foundation of Religious Education" in The Ministry of Religious Education (1978), and "God as Teacher" in The Teaching Ministry of the Church (1995). He has contributed to many publications and authored numerous teacher training guides and curriculum for church educational programs. His involvement in the community includes service on the board of directors for the Fort Worth Metro Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), on the board of trustees for Birdville Independent School District, and on the board of directors for the Haltom/Richland Chamber of Commerce.
