Chapter 542: Elder Hong's Terror
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Seeing the young man walk in, Elder Hong's mouth twitched.
He had witnessed the tragic experiences of the other elders before him, and it had truly left him frightened.
'The Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus is a technique that I devoted ten years of my life to create. Even if Pavilion Master Kang were to cultivate it, he could only reach Initiate within an incense's time. No matter how talented this fellow is, reaching Minor Accomplishment should be an impossibility. There's nothing I should be worried about...'
Elder Hong calmed himself down by consoling him before pointing to the table in front. "The manual for the Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus is there. You have an incense's time starting from now!"
After which, he immediately lit the incense beside him and smoke slowly drifted within the room.
Zhang Xuan walked up to the table, touched the manual, and an identical copy appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
He flipped through the book with his hands, but his consciousness was inside the Library of Heaven's Path
"Nine Swords of Red Lotus, created by Elder Hong Qin. It consists of a total of nine movements. Flaws..."
After reading through the content, a bizarre expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.
"So many flaws? And they still dare to call it a profound sword art?"
The sword art before him had actually more than a hundred flaws. With so much flaws, how could they dare to call it a profound sword art... Even trying to get him to learn it... It was truly a wonder where this fellow got his confidence from.
But thinking about it, Zhang Xuan soon realized that he might be underestimating the difficulty of creating a sword art. Most battle techniques had been passed down through innumerable generations and undergone the refinement of many predecessors, thus reducing the number of flaws in it. Given that this sword art had just been created, it was natural for there to be so many flaws.
"Heaven's Path Sword Art, fuse!"
With a thought, Heaven's Path Sword Art and the many sword art secret manuals that Zhang Xuan had obtained before flew out and fused together with this book.
A new Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus appeared. Zhang Xuan hurriedly flipped through it.
Soon, he shook his head.
He had too few books on Spirit intermediate-tier sword arts. The sword arts he had gathered before were too basic to complement such a profound sword art.
Making an analogy, no matter how good a lump of feces was, it could never match the value of gold. That was an innate difference in their nature. No matter how accurate the concepts contained within these basic sword art manuals were, they were still unable to make up for the qualitative difference with the Spirit intermediate-tier sword art.
"There are still more than thirty flaws..."
After fusing the book, Zhang Xuan was in tears.
Ever since his transmigration, he had never cultivated a cultivation technique or battle technique that had flaws. This had made him a perfectionist when it came to those. Even for the Red Dust Heaven Ascending Steps which had three flaws, he'd had to muster up his courage before cultivating it... Yet, this sword art before him had more than thirty flaws! He really couldn't bring himself to cultivate it!
It was just like how a person whose taste buds is accustomed to the delicacies of a five-star chef couldn't possibly get used to roadside stalls.
But... if he didn't cultivate this technique, he would fail the test.
In a moment, he fell into a dilemma.
On the other hand, Elder Hong's face was gradually turning red, and it seemed as though left to be, he would explode soon!
Even though he didn't wish to lose the reputation he had accrue in the earlier part of his life to this fellow, he was still determined to remain professional in this test. Thus, he had been secretly assessing the other party ever since he picked up the book.
And the other party's actions made him tempted to rush forward and tear the other party apart.
He created this Nine Swords of Scarlet Lotus by observing the life cycle of a red lotus, and it spent him an entire ten years to master the technique. He was proud to say that this was one of the strongest battle technique available in Myriad Kingdom City, and he knew that it would definitely be passed on from generation to generation for innumerable years to come. Yet, the other party simply flipped through it swiftly as soon as he picked it up. It was clear that the other party didn't have the intention to study it properly at all.
Not only so, his face alternated between a frown and a conflicted expression. What the heck was that?
You look as though you had met with a huge pile of feces and you are about to puke at any moment...
The heck!
Was the technique that I created so repulsive that you would barf?
Infuriated by the other party's reaction, Elder Hong was about to blow up.
He had imagined many possibilities-the other party might perhaps reach Consummation within an incense's time, or perhaps, refuse to cultivate it altogether... But one thing he had never dreamed of was the other party being on the verge of vomiting upon browsing through the manual...
This is a top-notch technique among Spirit intermediate-tier battle techniques, even Pavilion Master Kang and the other elders were filled with praises for it... What are you trying to say by those reaction?
Just as he was seething with rage, the young man before him shut his eyes tightly and clenched his jaws. With an expression reminiscent of a soldier marching to his death, he said, "Forget it, if I have to die, so be it. At most, I'll just never use this technique after cultivating it!"
Elder Hong couldn't hold himself back anymore. He dashed up to the other party and bellowed, "Zhang shi, what do you mean by that?"
On the other hand, Zhang Xuan was just about to cultivate when the elder suddenly rushed up to him and yelled furiously in his face. Bewildered, Zhang Xuan stared at the other party doubtfully and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Does the sword art I created disgust you so much?" Elder Hong immediately questioned the other party.
"Actually, it's not entirely disgust but that... there was simply too many flaws in them. I don't really want to cultivate it..." Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"You..." Hearing those words, Elder Hong felt so enraged that he was about to go mad.
If someone were to ask you such a question, no matter how much you hate the other party, in view of the other party's pride, you should at least deny it or compliment him a little...
But this fellow actually just admitted to it straight!
'Not entirely disgust'... In other words, my technique does disgust you!
'Too many flaws'... Too many your head!
Do you know how much effort I put into creating this battle technique? For ten years, I skipped meals and barely rested, all in hopes of creating a mighty technique that would awe the world... Yet, you said that there are too many flaws in my technique...
"May I know what flaws there are in my sword art?"
Harrumphing coldly, Elder Hong suppressed his rage in fear that he might just kill the other party in a moment of rashness.
"You're seeking my guidance? Fine, I'll point them out to you then! Look carefully. I don't have much time, so I'll only say them once."
Placing his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan nodded and strolled around the room slowly, "I'll first talk about the first movement of your nine swords, Blooming of the Scarlet Lotus! This technique consists of a total of eighty-one transformations, and its might is indeed extraordinary. However... to stab one's sword out from one's waist while driving one's zhenqi through the Huangu and Wangchang acupoints is a move that will inhibit one's flow of zhenqi in itself, thus severely limiting one's strength! If, at that moment, I were to use a weapon, say an ordinary stick, to strike your Huihai acupoint, how would you deal with it?"
"Strike my Huihai acupoint?"
Upon hearing those words, the movements involved in the Blooming of the Scarlet Lotus appeared in his mind and he abruptly stiffened.
The blooming of a scarlet lotus was a very beautiful phenomenon.
As though reflecting that, this move was particularly eye-catching. Using this move, one would attack one's opponent through a violent surge of sword qi. Indubitably, it was a powerful move. However, it had a few fatal flaws, and Huihai acupoint was one of them. Putting aside a wooden stick, if one were to just touch it with one's finger, the entire sword art would fall apart. One would find himself incapable of exerting any might at all.
Even he had overlooked this flaw, and yet, the other party noticed it just by flipping through it?
"But so what if you know that my Huihai acupoint is my weakness? A sword art prides itself on its speed. By the time you can react, I would have already released five strikes. How do you intend to cope with that?" Elder Hong argued.
There was no cultivation technique or sword art that was without flaws. While it is true that the Blooming of the Scarlet Lotus had a fatal flaw, it would be impossible to exploit it under the barrage of attacks.
"Released five strikes? You're wrong. What if, at the very start, I were to move forward three steps to strike your Honghai, turn around to strike your Luoqiao, and take three side steps to strike your Fujiang... After striking these three of your acupoints, do you think you could dodge my attack on your Huihai?" Zhang Xuan said nonchalantly.
"If you were to strike my Honghai, I would twist my sword to block it and retreat a step backward. Then, when you stuck my Luoqiao, I would have to quickly withdraw my offense to defend myself, thus causing a sudden stoppage in my flow of zhenqi, making it impossible for me to launch any sword qi. Then, when you stuck my Fujiang, if I were to attempt to dodge it, my Huihai would surely be unguarded... Y-you..."
Elder Hong analyzed the scenario and initially, he didn't think much of it. However, the more he thought about, the paler his face became, and he started to tremble in shock.
If it were a real battle, if his opponent were to strike at these three points consecutively, his Blooming of the Scarlet Rose would immediately fall apart. Not only would he be unable to hurt the other party, he would even suffer severe damage from the backlash of his zhenqi.
Just by stabbing at three perfectly ordinary locations, his zhenqi would be inhibited and he would suffer severe damage from his own sword art...
"This is only the first move. Your second move, Radiance of the Scarlet Lotus, is filled with innumerable flaws. Against this move, even without a weapon, I can charge straight toward your Zhonggong and strike your Ruohai. You would then be forced to retreat... and the rest would be easy," Zhang Xuan continued.
After learning of the flaws from the Library of Heaven's Path, along with Zhang Xuan's deep knowledge of sword arts, finding a counter for them was quite an easy task.
Elder Hong unconsciously took a step back.
The second step, Radiance of the Scarlet Lotus, was a long-ranged attack. It looked powerful, but in truth, it would leave one vulnerable to close-range attacks. As long as an enemy were to charge in at this moment to strike one's Zhonggong and Ruohai, one's zhenqi would definitely be jolted, thus countering the sword art!
In the first move, the enemy would at least still have to stab four locations, but for this, two moves were sufficient to render him completely powerless!
How in the world…
Was the sword art he created really that worthless?
"Wait a moment... Under the assault of my sword qi, how could you have the time to possibly get close to me and make so many moves?"
After contemplating over it for a moment, Elder Hong's eyebrows shot up.
What the other party said was all theory. In a real battle, given how fast his sword art was, how could the other party possibly have the time and opportunity to strike him consecutively?
"No time?" Zhang Xuan shook his head. "Take a good look then!"
Zhang Xuan's body swayed, leaving behind an afterimage on the spot. In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled to the three locations and tapped on them with his fingers consecutively. The three fingers struck the acupoints that he had spoken of accurately.
Upon seeing this move, Elder Hong's body convulsed, and he nearly fell to the floor.
The other party's speed and offense were flawless. If he had really used the sword art previously and the other party launched such a counter... he would surely be defeated utterly in the blink of an eye.
Unless... he abandoned the technique and dealt with the other party through his absolute might. Otherwise, with just swordsmanship alone, he would be defeated thoroughly, perhaps even suffering grievous wounds in the process.
Cold sweat dripped down his back.
Having created so many battle techniques, this Nine Swords of the Scarlet Lotus was actually the one he prided himself the most on. He thought that this technique would have him unrivaled in the Myriad Kingdom City. He never expected his ten years of hard work... to be so worthless!
"Zhang shi, may I know if... there's a way to complete this sword art of mine?"
Clasping his fist, Elder Hong bowed deeply-a bow that only a student would make to his teacher.

Getting out of debt is tough for a lot of people. It's both a financial and psychological challenge. Think of it this way: Getting out of debt when you haven't learned how to manage money is like running a marathon without preparing physically. Both tasks are possible, but they're much more difficult than they would be for someone who was actually prepared.
This is why many folks need to use psychological "tricks" when they repay their debt.
For example, I'm one of many who used the Dave Ramsey version of the debt snowball to finally achieve debt freedom. I tried (and failed) to use the mathematically optimal method — repay your high-interest debts first — several times. Once I shifted my focus to repaying low-balance debts first, I was able to plow through my debt without a problem.
Another game people play when paying off debt is the use of visualizations. Take Alissa, for instance, the GRS reader who created a paper chain to represent her debt. Each link in the chain represented $100. Whenever she made a payment, she got to cut off a few links — until the chain was gone.
This morning, Kitty from Bitches Get Riches shared a similar way to visualize debt:
This is the debt visualization I use today. It's a brick wall representing my post-down payment mortgage debt of $252,500. Each brick represents one thousand dollars. I color one in for every $1,000 I pay down toward the principal. If you look closely, you'll see one brick with a dotted black outline. That's where I would be today if I only made minimum payments.
Although these sorts of visualizations and psychological tricks are most commonly used when getting out of debt, the same concepts can also be applied when building your wealth snowball.
What methods have you used to visualize your progress toward your financial goals?

Chaplin Farrant celebrates Norfolk Day
Chaplin Farrant were pleased to take part in celebrations for the first ever Norfolk Day on Friday 27 July.
Some of our guys and girls were out on site, but made sure they had their Norfolk Day flags with them! Architectural Technologist Kris Burnell snapped the above picture on his site visit to the nearly complete project at Bedingham.
Back in the office, we threw our doors open and hosted an 80 minute surgery to provide free advice to anyone with structural engineering, architectural or planning queries. Craig was one of the clients who visited us with a structural inspection query about a property that he was looking to purchase, and found the experience very worthwhile.
We would like to thank everyone who came and supported us on Norfolk Day, and look forward to next year!

Post Spam Am USMC Dress Blue enlisted EGA or not?
Posted 17 November 2011 - 08:53 AM
In spite of my searching of the forum threads, I cannot find the one or perhaps two threads in which this topic was discussed. And there are a few other photo's of this nature which depict some sort of dress blue collar device(s), not authorized at this time. SNM was stationed in Japan shortly after 1900, I'll leave the rest of his background to Dirk to cover.
I'm uncertain what these are? The top of the device certainly looks like an eagle, the rest is indistinguishable to the eye...
Even working the photo's further, than seen here, the details simply vanish. This is as good as it gets. Your thoughts?

I had friends over to make these recycled flowers yesterday. We still have at least one more day to go, but these are the ones I stayed up all night last night finishing…Fun.

If you are curious about the process, this is what we did. You need egg cartons or dividers for the flowers, toilet paper rolls or other thin cardboard for leaves and stems and vines, large sharp scissors, a glue gun or white glue, paint, paper towels and patience.

Paying Homage
A "retable" or "retablo" was originally a frame or shelf enclosing decorated panels or revered objects above and behind an altar. It has since come to also designate the painting or other image it encloses. In Mexico, it is common for families to have smaller versions of the larger pieces seen in churches in their homes. At the time I moved here in 2001, I could buy the undecorated, unpainted ornamental metal frames for retablos in a local artisan market and I started making retablos myself that paid homage to saints, Mexican legendary figures, artists, family members and friends. Over the years, my subjects have grown, as have the retablos. Here are a few of the hundreds I've created over the past 16 years. Recently, as the metal frames get harder to find, I have started using simpler boxes which I have constructed for me.

Before I leave to get busy with paper, scissors and glue at Campamento Estrella today, I want to share this crafty tradition passed on by my mother. It was my favorite family tradition.
The Daily Post prompt was traditional.
lifelessons - a blog by Judy Dykstra-Brown
Every year, my mom helped us make May baskets to fill with candy and leave on the doorsteps of our friends. As mentioned in an earlier post, we'd ring the doorbell and run. If the recipient caught us, they could kiss or pinch us—their choice.
Some years we bought fancy handled nut cups from the dime store and used them, but I liked best to make my own. One year, my mother showed us something special to use for May baskets. Her family knew how to make these incredible tissue-paper ornaments that, with a cupcake liner filled with candy glued into the bottom, hung down in a web-like form. We'd pin them at the top and when you held them up they would fall down in a lacy accordion effect so they were a foot or two high. The only way you could really get the effect…

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is, undoubtedly, one of the finest actors in Bollywood right now. He is mostly appreciated for his unconventional roles, which he more than justifies with his commendable acting skills.
Adding another feather to his cap, the brilliant actor has now entered Tamil cinema and that too in a Rajnikanth starrer!
Nawaz plays the antagonist Singaar Singh in Petta which also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Simran Bagga and Trisha Krishnan. Even in the past, Nawaz has shared screen space with the 'bigger' stars in many of his movies. Despite of that, he's made his performance count every single time. And on several occasions walked away with the accolades too! Remember Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan and Aamir Khan's Talaash. Is Petta one such movie?
Nawaz plays Singaar Singh with much conviction and even looks the part. He has not dubbed his lines in the Tamil version, but that doesn't come across as an obstacle in his acting. Unfortunately, there are too many things stacked against him. Firstly, Petta is literally a celebration of everything that is Rajnikanth. It's a movie for the Rajni fans made by a Rajni fan.
Secondly, there is another villain in Vijay Sethupathi —a phenomenal actor who delivers a solid performance in the movie. Both Vijay and Nawaz's roles seem to exist only to take the plot forward so that Rajni can regale his fans. Both villains have very little to do, and Nawaz even lesser.
Even in such an underwhelming script, Nawaz shines. He is very relatable and knows exactly when to switch gears. Importantly, he manages to hold his own against both Rajnikanth and Vijay. That alone is no mean feat!
By all means, Nawaz has made an interesting debut in the Tamil cinema. Is it one of his better performances? Maybe not. He might not have taken centre stage but he definitely doesn't fade out, too.

Apapa traffic: In Lagos, FRSC deploys 212 personnel to check trucks' roadworthiness
BEGINNING from September 1, 2015, any truck deficient of roadworthiness official requirements, would not be allowed to lift petroleum products from depot/tank farms nationwide especially in Apapa, Lagos.
This was disclosed by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Lagos last week. To ensure strict compliance, the FRSC has deployed 212 of its personnel to Depot/Tank farms across the country, with a mandate not to compromise, irrespective of who the owner of the defaulting truck is.
The Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, while flagging-off a 2-day safe-to-load training for officers deployed to Depot/Tank farms, said the initiative was taken after deliberations with stakeholders on the movement of petroleum products in the country for the purpose of standard as well as ensuring that vehicles used to lift products from tank farms were road worthy.
Oyeyemi, who was represented by the Corps Commander, Administration and Strategy, Mr. Augustine Ipor, said: "Our personnel are expected to check trucks tyres, vehicle parts and safety of the petroleum product the trucks are to carry.
Truck drivers are expected to have driver's license while their vehicles are expected to have all the necessary documents. Even the people at the tank farms have their own standards, such as tagging system that are expected to be on the trucks. All these must be in place before they (trucks) are allowed to lift petroleum products.
The age of the driver is expected to be 26 and above. Under-aged will not be allowed to load. Once any truck does not meet any of these standards, it will not be allowed to go in to load.
Checks will begin from the entrance of the tank farms. "We are deploying 212 officers from September 1, with four officers to one tank farm, and we will continue to review it with the tank farms owners to know if it is going to be permanent exercise or not."
He said the FRSC had commenced the training of truck drivers, and that during the training, some of the drivers were discovered not to have driver's license.
He disclosed that those affected would be assisted to acquire the document. Also speaking at the occasion, the executive secretary, Depot and Petroleum Product Marketers Association, Mr. Olefemi Adewale, who described the initiative as a right step in the right direction, pledged the support of the association's safety departments in all its terminals to ensure that no truck was allowed to come into its premises to load if it did not meet the minimum standard.
The Zonal Commanding Officer, Zone RS2, Assistant Corps Marshal Nseobong Akpabio, warned the personnel not to compromise, reminding them of the consequences of their action if a vehicle that was certified road worthy later develops problem relating to the specifications.

Slow Down, You're Going Too Fast!

Slow Down, You're Going Too Fast!
You wake up one morning and it hits you, you get and an epiphany. Something you saw or was stewing in your mind comes to a boil, and the cream has risen to the top, you now know what your documentary is going to be about. Yes, it is going to be the best thing since slice bread.
You look into your wallet, got money, now need a crew. You write notes on your traveling legal pad about the direction you are going with your documentary. You line up interviews, you set up B-roll days and you find great events to go onto your video tape. Hey, maybe you get luck enough to use high definition tape or even better, you get to record to a hard drive in your camera or to flash drive type inserted card.
You're thinking and you're thinking about all your shoot. That should include pre-productions and principal photography production. These are some terms you should at least know of and what they exactly represent. Most of you do. But most of you always forget about post-production. Or you wait till you are finished shooting. That is something that should be brought up in pre-production.
"All mistakes are made in Pre-Production."
This is a credo that is written and hangs out in my office. Working in film and video, but mostly film, and then mostly video, there are terms that are used there that has filtered into the video tape shooting world. They seem to be coming interchangeable at the moment. Like filming with video tape. We will leave it there for now.
Anyway what that means at least to me is that in pre-productions when you are hammering out the details of what your documentary is going to be, the things you need, the how and when of shooting – you also need to think of about how you are going to finish your documentary.
And with who?
You need to think also about a person to edit your documentary. Unless you are lucky enough to know how to edit already, you should look for somebody to be your editor. This is somebody that will be spending sometime with you. You'll be chained at the ankle. You better like them. If you pay them or not. (Do a good interview.)
I've known of people who've had their documentary shot and decided to edit it them-self. But, they were learning to first time edit at the same time as they were editing their own documentary. This is like hunting and pecking. Remember that this can slow down your creative process as you try to master the cut and dissolve of the time-line. Always go with creativity.
With an editor and I'm not talking about your 15-year old nephew with the newest release bootleg copy of one of the top 5 editing software. You need somebody on the same page as you. You need to find and talk to the editor about the direction 'YOU' want to go in. And that it will be a pleasant experience of sitting with this person for the possibility of months. Somebody who has insight is what you want.
Be careful of editors who have an agenda and want to make your documentary sing in their direction, so they can use it for their own video reel to show off.
This is your baby, you should know how you want it to grow. Don't be stupid and cut off the directions of your editor, when having the right one who is thinking as symbiotic as possible, then the life of your documentary can grow to meet the creative idea you started with.
It is up to you to learn to think about everything, especially if you are going to learn to produce your own documentary or in-tandem with others. Ask questions of other people who do documentaries, take their answers, mold them together and come up with your own direction. It is like a recipe for making a cake. Now it is up to you to decide how many layers you want it to be.
Is there anything you'd like us to talk about?We become better when you make comments. So help us help you.
I remain,Andre Campbell139 West Productions

Cryptocurrencies have been massively talked about in the media in the past few years. This has given the blockchain industry a major spike and it's actually something to be proud of if you are a crypto enthusiast. Lately, there has been a lot of comparison between the cryptocurrency market and the stock market. Anyway, there is a big difference as crypto is completely digital and also an online based asset. The inception of Bitcoin in 2009 has made a lot of cryptocurrency millionaires. Early crypto investors have made billions of dollars from their investments. This sounds great, right?
List of Cryptocurrency Millionaires

5. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss
These brothers are commonly referred to as the Winkelvii (plural for Winkelvoss). When these two names are mentioned, what comes to mind is their ordeal with Facebook CEO. Cameron and Tyler Winkelvoss sued Mark Zuckerberg after claiming that he stole their idea and developed it into Facebook. Facebook had to pay them around $65 million dollars for this. They later used their proceeds to buy a large amount of bitcoin. They were said to be in control of around 91,666 bitcoin as of January 2018. According to Forbes, their crypto net worth is estimated to be around $900 million – $1.1 billion each as of January 19th, 2018.

Don't be discouraged if you fall in the second category because we're all goona be rich and buy Lambos. Just keep the faith.

It's preseason. That needs to be repeated every time you feel any emotion while watching one of these exhibition games. Any thrill at seeing Fred Taylor break a big run, any disappointment at a 14 yard gain yielded by the defense, needs to be tempered.
The Patriots tested two things in this game: Wes Welker and the running game. Brady threw at Welker three straight times, putting him in tough positions, and eventually getting him hit pretty hard. It was Welker's first appearance in preseason, and you can tell that the Pats want to appraise him before they rely on him.
The Pats ran the ball. A lot. And it caught the Falcons off guard. So the two rushing touchdowns, Taylor's 54 yards, and Morris' 52 yards shouldn't be taken at face value. Then again, Atlanta allowed the 10th fewest rushing yards, and 8th fewest yards per carry in the 2009 season.
This team doesn't need the ground attack to win games for them. But they do need other teams to respect it. They need it for short yardage, 3rd down, and red-zone/goal-line situations. They need it for play-action pass. They need it to slow down and wear out opposing pass rushes.
The biggest concern I have with the runningbacks is their age. Sure, Taylor, Morris, and Faulk looked great. But they played half the game. Half a game in August. Will they still be this good in November and December?
One very positive thing from this game was the play of Aaron Hernandez. He's not really a tight-end. I think he can be a challenging guy for opponents to cover, though. The Patriots haven't had a reliable pass-catching tight-end since Fauria. And Hernandez can present some real matchup problems for opposing defenses.
How will the defense be this year? Probably inconsistent. Matt Ryan was finding holes in the zone just before he was pulled. Give skilled coaches, QBs, and WRs 4 quarters to figure the Pats' defense out, and things will get difficult. I like Chung at safety. But I didn't like how the unit looked against a no-huddle offense.
So while a 28-10 win with rookie tight-ends catching touchdowns, and runningbacks amassing 120 yards on the ground is very pleasant, there are still some concerns that might not manifest themselves until snow starts falling.

To match this classy exterior, most homes are furnished with items that denote a sense of being above standard without the air of snobbishness often associated with opulent homes. One way to achieve that quickly is to use building materials that are not what you would find in a normal home. These building materials are often exotic wood, polished stone and of course granite. The cool feel of granite and its quiet, unobtrusive characteristics just makes it look posh and rich without trying too hard.
Using granite for your kitchen countertop or even your bathroom countertop, ensures that your bathroom vanity or kitchen island will look classy no matter how long you've had it in your home or the amount of abuse it receives from sharp objects resting on top of it to kids playing on it.

Used sparingly, granite can stand out and enhance the home's feel without seeking too much attention. If used too much, you'll have a home that will feel cold and unwelcoming. Get a good interior decorator who can tell you what will work and what won't in your home before you make the actual purchase. This is a good thing since you wouldn't want to be left with an item you'd regret buying in the first place. After all, granite is a very big and heavy purchase. Of course, you can opt to decorate your home more than with the usual granite countertop. In fact, you can also choose from a wide variety of different materials like a marble countertop or a quartz countertop which is quite as classy and as elegant as the granite ones. And if you're feeling adventurous, mix and match and you'll have a nice combination of textures!

Cycling is healthy, we all know that! However, there are still many people who cycle little or not at all. They often have a car at their doorstep or use public transport. And you get tired of cycling, right? That may be true, but there are also many benefits associated with cycling. Below 6 reasons to go cycling (more)!
Cycling is a lot cheaper than driving a car. A bicycle itself only costs you a relatively small amount. You pay no road tax and you don't have to take out expensive car insurance. A Bike Insurance Centraal Beheer is beneficial and inexpensive. This way you can safely cycle around without worries.
In addition, cycling is a relatively safe way to move yourself. Studies show that most traffic accidents occur among car drivers. This is followed by motorcyclists, scooter riders and moped riders. How does this work exactly? You are much more agile on your bike. So you can react and evade faster. This way you prevent yourself from becoming involved in a traffic accident.
The environment
All harmful fuel gases in the air are not good for the environment. Airplanes, cars and trucks pollute the air . Moreover, trees are often felled for the construction of new roads. By cycling you also contribute a little to a good environment. It may not save much, but every bit helps!
As we wrote before, cycling is very healthy. Sufficient exercise on a daily basis is very important. However, there are many people who exercise too little. So get on the bike more often! That way you are more in motion and your fitness will also increase.
You are also a lot more flexible on the bike than in the car. That way you never have to search for a parking space. File's are also no problem for you. You can also get to more places by bike. Especially in the cities it is much more convenient to cycle. Then we are not even talking about all the traffic lights that you avoid …
To enjoy
As a last reason: it is enjoyment! You can enjoy the surroundings by bike. There are many cycle paths in nature reserves where you can relax. You can even go cycling with several people. So it will not be lacking in fun!
Enough reason to go cycling! Do you cycle enough? Let us know in the comments below!

James O'Callaghan, MD, FAAP, SFHM*1;Claudia Crowell, MD MPH1 and Susan Stanford, MPH MSW2, (1)Seattle Children's Hospital / University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA, (2)Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, WA
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Abstract number: 198
Categories: Quality Improvement, Research Abstracts
Keywords: Pediatrics and Pneumonia
Background: The 2011 the updated IDSA guideline on Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) in children recommends a blood culture in children with moderate to severe bacterial CAP requiring hospitalization. This recommendation was included in the Seattle Children's Hospital (SCH) Clinical Standard Work (CSW) CAP pathway, for several reasons: (1) blood culture results would drive treatment decisions, (2) since SCH is a tertiary referral center, blood culture results would provide information regarding regional bacterial surveillance and antimicrobial sensitivities, and (3) there was a belief that it is was already part of our local culture. Our QI initiative analyzed blood culture results over a 3-year period, to determine the utility of this recommendation.
Methods: Our CSW pathway for uncomplicated CAP was launched in September 2012. Patients were pathway eligible if they were suspected to have CAP and were >60 days old. Pathway exclusion criteria included: underlying immunodeficiency, risk for aspiration pneumonia, known lung disease other than asthma, malignancy, prior/current tracheostomy, prior/current ventilator dependence, neuromuscular disease, empyema and lung abscess. Blood culture results from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2015 were reviewed.
Results: During this 3-year period, 470 patients met our definition for an uncomplicated CAP and qualified for inclusion on our pathway. Blood cultures were obtained in 293 (62%) encounters with a total of 540 blood cultures obtained (range 1-16 blood cultures per encounter). There were only 5 positive blood culture results, for a ~1% positivity rate: (1) one patient encounter was coded incorrectly and the patient had bacteremia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae without evidence of pneumonia, (2) two blood cultures were determined to be contaminants, and (3) two blood cultures grew pan sensitive Streptococcus pneumoniae that did not impact or change patient care.
Conclusions: Blood cultures were not routinely obtained in children with moderate CAP, despite pathway recommendations. Positive blood culture results were very uncommon and did not drive treatment decisions or provide significant information regarding regional bacterial susceptibilities. The CSW team is now in the process of reversing the initial mandate to routinely obtain blood cultures on all children hospitalized with moderate to severe CAP.
