Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium, London's first 'cat cafe', is a hit with feline fans in east London. Tara Cleary reports.
REPORTER: It's not hard to guess who's the cat's whiskers in this café. Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium in London opened its doors on March 1st and is already fully booked until the end of June. Customers pay five pounds, around $8 U.S. dollars, to stroke and cuddle the resident felines for up to two hours.
CHARLOTTE ALLMANT, CUSTOMER: "I absolutely adore cats. So when I heard that this cat cafe was happening I was so excited so I got it as a Christmas present."
CHRISTY MCCORMICK, CUSTOMER: "I thought that it would be really, really cool to just hang out with loads and loads of cats which it totally is."
REPORTER: Co-owner Anna Kogan says her cat-loving clients come from all walks of life.
ANNA KOGAN, CO-OWNER OF LADY DINAH'S CAT EMPORIUM: "The idea is that you can come, have a peaceful lunch, high tea and be surrounded by cats. Occasionally you'll catch them in a very wild mood and if you're lucky one of them will fall asleep on your lap."
REPORTER: The café has 11 cats and Kogan says they're not hard to find.
ANNA KOGAN, CO-OWNER OF LADY DINAH'S CAT EMPORIUM: "We didn't really have to look for cats because unfortunately in UK and most countries there is plenty of unwanted animals and all these cats would have ended up in shelters."
REPORTER: Britons share more than 3.8 million online photos and videos of cats every day. And even though customers are wild about these animals, sometimes the cats just want to chill.
1. If something is the cat's whiskers, it's the best thing, person, idea, etc. • He thinks he's the cat's whiskers (= he has a high opinion of himself).
2. To hang out with someone is to spend time relaxing or enjoying oneself. • Musicians like to hang out with their own kind.
3. A walk of life is a person's occupation or position within society. • The courses attracted people from all walks of life.
4. If you are wild about something, you are very enthusiastic or excited about it. • I'm not wild about their music.

Butterflying a chicken will speed up the cooking time of a whole bird and give you impressive looking meals. It may seem daunting, but trust me – you can do it!
Here's what I did:
Remove the neck and giblets, then place the chicken breast side down. Using kitchen shears or a very sharp knife, cut along the backbone from one end to the other.
Take out the entire back bone. I know it looks gory, but it's really not that bad.
Then, flip the bird over so it is breast side up and spread as open as possible. Place both of your palms in the center of the bird and press down firmly until you hear the rib bones crack and the bird is laying flat.
There, you did it!
Use your favorite rubs or marinades to cook up your butterflied bird. Try my Grilled Cornish Hens with Lemon-Thyme Butter for starters!

Western High School has a rich football tradition and our expectations for the 2018 season are extremely high. A majority of our players have bought into our off-season strength program and are achieving awesome results, as we continue to work and prepare for the season I am extremely excited to see that hard work pay off for our players in the fall. While our players have put in a lot of time and work this off-season, our work is far from done. Our summer phase of our off-season program is the most important phase and it is vital that each player buy in and do their part to help our football program reach our championship goals. The investment of hard work in the summer will pay huge dividends in the fall.
We open our season on the road against Twin Lakes, then we return home to play Lafayette Jeff, we will travel to Rensselaer, then play at home against Benton Central, travel to Tipton, travel to Lewis Cass, play at home against Northwestern in the "BATTLE OF THE BELL", play Hamilton Heights at home, and we will host the Hoosier Conference Playoff in our last regular season game.
We will compete in Class 4A Sectional 21 once again. Sectional opponents include: Mississinewa, Delta, Marion, Yorktown, Pendleton Heights, Frankfort, and Lebanon. Mississinewa is the defending sectional champion.
Our summer weights and conditioning program is critical to our success during the season. All players are expected to attend. We will meet 4 days per week from 8-10 am for weights & conditioning. On Thursday mornings during June we will have position drills and installs from 7-8 am before weights. We will be training with the basketball team this summer for our weights and conditioning, we will have a lot of people in the weight room at one time so it is important to be on time and ready to start at 8 am. It would be a good idea to bring something to eat right after lifting to refuel your body. Our first day of Summer Weights will be Tuesday, May 29th and we will lift Tuesday-Friday that week.
We will host our team camp at Western High School once again this year. TEAM CAMP WEEKS ARE THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT WEEKS OF THE SUMMER!!! During team camp we will install our offensive and defensive systems, practice important drills, and we will have scrimmages against other schools. Our first week of Team Camp is July 9th-12th and the second week of Team Camp is July 16th-20th. During Team Camp we will lift from 3-4, then transition to the field where we will practice in helmet & shoulder pads from 4:30-6:30 pm. We will attend Manchester University for their 7 on 7 and OL/DL Camp on Saturday July 14th, this will be at no cost to the players it will be paid for by the football program.
The IHSAA allows schools to schedule a limited number of competitions so we have scheduled two 7 on 7s and two scrimmages. On June 16th we will travel to Center Grove High School to compete in their annual 7 on 7 tournament and OL/DL challenge and on July 14th we will travel to Manchester University for their 7 on 7 camp and OL/DL camp. At the end of our first week of Team Camp on July 12th we will travel to Hamilton Southeastern for a scrimmage, at the end of our second week of Team Camp on July 20th we will travel to 2016 State Runner-Up Eastbrook for a scrimmage. As you can see we have beefed up our summer competition schedule in order to better prepare us for our regular season and sectional opponents. Summer scrimmages and 7 on 7s are a fun opportunity for players to compete and showcase their abilities.
July 30th-August 3rd will be our 2-A-DAY practices. During this week players will come in the morning (8—11 am) to lift/run/meet/walk-thru, and return in the afternoon (3:30-6 pm) to practice. Beginning July 30th players are required to attend all practices and football activities. If you miss any practice or activity without contacting a coach it is considered an unexcused absence.
Once the season begins we will practice after school until 5:30 Monday-Thursday, and have film on Saturday morning at 8 am. Junior Varsity will usually play on Monday nights, with an occasional Saturday morning game. Thursday after practice we will have a team dinner in the cafeteria. Friday nights are varsity games, all members of the high school football program will dress/travel for varsity games.
We will practice Labor Day, September 3rd from 6-8 PM (VARSITY ONLY). Fall Break will take place October 15-19, which is our first week of the Sectional Tournament. During fall break our JV will play their final game on Monday; however JV players are expected to continue to attend practice and games until the varsity season is finished.

Chapter 1: Jungles of Phantog
. . .
"Master Mage, we are half a day's trek from Apys, and that is as far as I have
contracted to transport you. We must make good speed now. There is something
that has picked up your trail, and I have not been able to hide your scent from
it. You must tell me now that you will honor our bargain."
Kennarith Ko frowned. "How do you know that something has picked up my scent?"
he snarled. "If you had told me there was any necessity to hide my scent, I
could have been doing so for days. Perhaps it is you that something trails."
"Perhaps, but I have been here before. When faced with a choice of taking me or
taking the wizard with me, it has always chosen the wizard. Perhaps it is magic
that the creature desires. You, you are full of magic, and I have none."
The Huntmaster looked at Kennarith grimly, staring straight into the icy blue
eyes of the foreign wizard. "Think what you like," he said calmly. "I need to
know. Will you pay me exactly half of the dowry you will gain should you win a
bride from Apys?"
"I told you I would," answered the wizard, "but let us be clear about this. If
the dowry is money, then you can have it all. If the dowry is magical objects,
then we can divide them between us. but I get first choice, and we take turns
choosing the other objects. If there is an odd number then you can have the last
item. If the dowry is some spiritual thing," he hesitated to let the concept
sink in, "if it is increased magical ability or souls or something as yet
inconceivable to me, then you get nothing. I am a wizard, yes, but I am no
master, and I cannot divide the intangible, nor set values on unknown objects."
Krokett the Huntmaster looked disconcerted. No one had ever spelled out these
different possibilities for him before, but than no one had ever paid him
before. "Will you take an oath on those words?' he asked.
Late afternoon sunlight slanted down through the heavy foliage above them and
stray beam caught the wizard and made him shine for a just a moment in the
general gloom of the forest. "I vow that I will pay Krokett, and only Krokett,
as I have sworn to do with the dowry from Apys. This I swear on my mother's
head, and on my spirit's freedom, and on he honor of the Wizards Guild of
"I accept your vow. Try to keep up!" said the rugged huntsman. He strode off
between two trees and promptly vanished, just as if he had become invisible or
were only an illusion to begin with.
"So," mused Kennarith, "The huntmaster seeks to test me. Very well!" The bracken fern parted as kennarith swiftly followed after the Huntmaster. His years doing menial labor for his magical training had toughened not only his mind, but his reflexes as well. Indeed it had spared him from more than one mishap with Osrek the Alchemists… accidents. His side still tingled when he smelled distilled essence of flame demons.
Kennarith broke into a trot and followed the Huntmaster. He saw movement some forty feet ahead–something pushing through a tangle of vegetation. In seconds he reached it, and shoved through himself. On the other side were two paths leading in two different directions, and the guide was not visible on either one. How did he move so fast, and why?
One path was fairly open and empty as far as the eye could see. The other quickly clogged with the malodorous shrubbery that infested this jungle. Kennarith chose that one, and pushed rapidly forward.
A strong hand reached out from behind a tree and grabbed the wizard's upper arm, pulling him roughly to the side.
The wizard breathed a sign of relief.
"Good, you kept up with me. Now get ready to fight. Watch!"
A strange beast appeared on the path the wizard had just left. It had the size of a large cat, the face of a fiend, and the tusks of a saber-toothed cave tiger. Krokett locked his gaze on its slitted yellow eyes, took one step forward with knife in hand and let out an explosive yell.
. . .
Krokett's yell startled the Fiend, because in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
"Whew," the wizard gasped. "What was that?"
"Don't relax!" snapped the Huntsman. "It is only changing the direction of attack. His head moved from side to side as he scanned the forest. Then he grabbed Kennarith's shoulder and spun him to face the Fiend as it materialized in a leap coming right at him.
Kennarith Ko had thought about what to do, but when the time came for action, he reverted to the most basic kill spell he knew and he put all his wizardly energy into it. The wizard's staff crackled with purple energy and an eye-searing bolt of killing force shot out of it and struck the fiend fully in its tentacled chest.
The Thing fell to earth just shy of the two men because of the magical impact, but then shrugged it off, and gathered itself to continue the attack. In that momentary hesitation, Krokett leaped on it, flailing madly with the great bush knife. Man and beast rolled across the ground in a cacophany of growling (from the man) and a kind of whistling screech (from the fiend).
For the first minute of the fight the wizard watched with eyes agape as man and creature struggled. He quickly understood that this was more than just a physical fight between a man and a beast–it was more of a spiritual struggle manifested on the worldly plane. Once he saw a fiendish claw rip a gaping hole in Krokett's stomach, but neither blood nor entrail flew out of it. In the next instant the wound closed again af it had never been.
Then the two moved in his direction and it seemed as if the fiend would break free of the man. Kennarith threw off his horror and leaped into the fight, jabbing at the monster with his staff, wielding it like a spear to poke and smash the horrible creature. Every blow seemed to simply glance off the fiend, but Krokett threw him a grim smile, more of a twitch of the lips as battled. Every little bit helped.
And then it was over. With a final howl the unnatural beast stiffened and lay still. Now wounds began to appear on its body, dozens of wounds where none had been visible before. Dead!
Krokett forced himself to his feet, leaned down and cleaned his gore-encrusted blade on the animal's hide. His clothing had been torn and slashed in many places. Purple bruises began to rise on his flesh.
"Are you all right?" the wizard asked.
"I will live."
Krokett knelt and pushed a mass of tentacles aside, then made a deep incision in the fiend's chest. Thrusting his hand into the bloody opening all the way up to the elbow, he felt around and then jerked his arm back out, bringing with it an internal organ.
"What?" The wizard gaped in amazement.
"Its heart. If I do not take it, the creature will live again. See, it still beats." The bloody red organ still shivered and squirmed in the Huntmaster's hand.
"What will you do with it?"
"We should eat it. You helped beat it, so you are entitled to a share. Of course, it may poison us, but if it doesn't . . ." he left the implications unspoken.
. . .
Kennerith's mind raced as his stomach churned. The thought of eating a
still-beating heart disgusted him, but the though of facing a beast
immune to his spells a second time chilled him to the bone. Furthermore,
if the heart was unhealthy to eat, then letting Krokett eat it all would
place himself in dire peril as well. He could ill afford to let his
guide die – without his help he would quickly become lost in this
jungle, not to mention the other unknown dangers that could lurk in a
place where monsters had developed immunity to magic.
No, far safer if both he and Krokett became ill, but remained able to travel. of course, this was assuming that a single bite would not prove fatal…
This was no time for dithering. Faint heart never won fair maiden, and winning a fair maiden was what he was here to do.
"We'll split it half and half," said Kennerith reaching out his hand, "but perhaps it would be safer to eat cooked?" Fire appeared and danced in the wizard's palm.
"Are you going to cook it in your hand, wizard? I think I'll eat my part raw." Krokett used both hands and tore the still throbbing heart into two pieces. He handed the smaller piece to the wizard, then bit into the larger one. Blood dribbled from the sides of his mouth and into his beard.
Kennarith Ko did cook the fragment of fiend heart in his hand. Spitting the fragment on the point of his own sax, he directed little blasts of flame at the meat until it darkened, stopped bleeding, and actually began to smell good.
(Lest you think that the wizard was fireproof, let it be known that calling flame in this manner is usually the first spell a wizard learns. The flame never actually touches him, but springs into existence far enough from the wizard's hand to not actually burn him.)
"Mmmmm, chewy," said the wizard as he bit into the fiend's heart. When he swallowed it, it felt as if a ball of flame passed through his throat, through his chest, and into his stomach. But even as it went down he felt his body being recharged with the kremm energy of magic.
The huntsman washed his bloody meal down with several gulps from his canteen, then offered it to the wizard. Ko took it, wiped the mouth with the sleeve of his robe, and took a big gulp. He was in for it now, no point in being cautious or timid if he hoped to keep his guide's respect.
"Let us go on," said Krokett. We are not that far from our destination." He stepped back onto the path he had been following and set off briskly. Kennarith grabbed his staff and hastened to follow him.
They walked for a couple of hours as the sky grew darker and afternoon advanced. They climbed, and the vegetation changed, somehow seeming lighter in both color and tone as they gained altitude. At the same time, the ground grew soggier, and the muddy forest floor squelched with every step.
Then they crested a ridge, and Krokett pointed. In the center of a rocky hollow stood a great hive building more than 200 meters in height and twice as broad, a building unlike any the wizard had ever seen before.
"This is it," said the guide, "the home of the Manukans, the People of the Buzzing Bees. This is where you must go to win the Bride of Nature that you seek."
Chapter Two: Into the City of the Manukans
Kennarith looked down and saw six soldiers striding up the eastern side of the crater towards him. They walked on stiff-jointed hind legs with a pair of similarly inflexible arms coming out of the mid-point of their bodies. The ebonic sheen of their chitinous skin was swathed with bands of shaggy brown-gold fur. Multi-faceted eyes and twin antenna completed the inhuman picture. Each guard also carried a large pair of diaphanous wings that vibrated as they walked, not enough to lift them into the air, but perhaps it lightened their steps because they approached swiftly. Each guard also carried a long bronze-headed halbard.
"I will leave you now," said Krokett. "Remember our bargain, and seek me where we first met if you make it out of the hive successfully." The Huntsman faded back into the jungle.
When they reached his side the leading bee-man looked the wizard over intently. Apparently satisfied, he began to speak in a buzzing version of the Common Speech. It took a few sentences for Kennarith to understand, but the bee-man rejpeated himself until finally Kennarith interrupted him.
"You speak my tongue strangely," he said slowly, "but I am beginning to understand. You want me to follow you."
"Correct." The leader turned and strode away. Kennarith immediately followed him back down the hill. The other five fell in behind him.
In a short time they reached a broad ramp leading up into the hive-building. It led to an arched doorway illuminated by a large sphere that glowed with crimson radiance. Kennarith wondered how many men had passed through this ominous doorway. One of the escorts touched his shoulder and buzzed, "You are the seven thousand five hundred and sixty-first."
The number seemed absurdly high to the Khazani wizard, but then he reflected that the Manukans were said to have been on Trollworld longer than the men had, and almost as long as the elves.
The soldier continued to speak. "This portal is a means of destruction should our queens decree. The photonic forces it subjugates may be released in any direction they desire. The effect is stark; existence is negated."
The red light energy made his flesh crawl with a kind of tickling sensation as Kennarith passed through the doorway. The chamber inside held at least a thousand burning beeswax candles, and the air hung heavy, cloying and sweet in his lungs. A wave of sleepiness assailed him, but the wizard clenched his hands and fought it off. It would not be wise to lose consciousness here.
Many more of the soldier Manukans flanked both sides of the atrium. Kennarith could see now that it was but a passageway connecting the exterior with the interior of the structure. A larger, heavier beeman crawled from a passageway above and to Kennarith's left. He fluttered down to stand directly in front of the wizard.
"You are the thirty-sixth and last of this cycle's contenders for royal marriage," he droned. "I repeat, you are the last. This means that the wooing will begin on the morrow."
"I understand," answered the wizard.
'You may rest, take nourishment, and think about what level you would like to compete for."
Fed with unfamiliar foods, lulled by the humming that seemed to permeate the strange city, Kennarith Ko was taken to a sleeping chamber and left to his devices. He quickly fell asleep.
When he awakened he found cool water and a scroll waiting for him on the bedside table. He washed his face and quenched his thirst. He had eaten so well before his sleep that he felt no hunger. Turning to the scroll he read these cryptic words:
There was a space to indicate his choice, and a pen and ink for writing it.
After some deliberation, Kennarith Ko decided to go for the easiest challenge, and wrote the number 2 in the space provided. As soon as he had done so, the paper magically faded out of his hand. At that moment he realized that he was sensing magic from all sides, and was unlikely to have any warning should enchantment come upon him.
His chamber door opened and in came the large man, or his twin. "Be thou ready for your challenge?" he asked.
"What is my challenge?" asked the Wizard.
"You have chosen to woo Apida the Harvest Queen. It is her duty to ensure that the Phantagonian flowers come to no harm, that they are free from disease, and protected from herbivores that her people may be assured of plentiful pollen supplies."
"Sounds like a vital task," Kennarith muttered to himself.
The guide led Kennarith to another chamber deeper inside the hive. Five other wizards were already there. The bee man made introductions and Kennarith Ko met Nux Fractor, Spontaneous Combustius, Perry Stroika, Ali Bongo and Sly Toffand. All were human except for Perry, who despite have rounded ears, was a half-elf.
The bee man led the six contestants into another chamber even deeper inside the hive. There, draped languorously upon a couch reposed the young queen, Apida.
As Manukan women go, Apida was truly lovely. She sported a full and firm thorax, cute stripes of ochre and burnt umber, two lively antennas, and bee'guiling. (Ken's note: Mark has filled this section of the adventure with as many bee puns as he could come up with, and they are plentiful, but I may skip most of them. If you want to bee entertained by them, get the adventure.)
Apida was besotted with all her suitors. She clapped her four hands together and dismissed the bee man, whose name was Bee'de. "My bee'trothed must have a fine voice," she buzzed. "You shall all sing for me." She opened a cabinet and brought out 6 scrolls. "These are some of my most bee'loved songs. Each of you shall choose one and sing for me."
The six songs are:
1. Honey for my Honey
2. Let it Be'e
3. Be'e My Baby
4. The Buzz of it All
5. Just Can't Help Be'elievin'
6. Be'e Good to Me
By the luck of the draw, Kennarith Ko got to be the last singer.
The six wizards studied their scrolls for a few minutes. None of them were puzzled by them, though some figured then out a little faster than others. Their bee'havior was very civilized, and they took turns singing for the queen. It took a little about an hour for them all to have a turn.
The queen kept score in her head, but did not give any sign of whose singing she liked it best. (the adventure as written says to give the 6 contestants wooing points. Having made all the necessary attribute and saving rolls this is how it stands after the first round of competition:
When the singing was over Bee'de the bee man attendant came in with a tray upon which there were six golden goblets, each brimming with a thick brown brew. An overwhelmingly sweet aroma rose from the liquor.
"Drink, or do not drink, as you choose," said the bee man, "but be aware that this is very potent liquor, and it may becloud your thinking."
Because he was the last to arrive, Kennarith was the last to confront the queen and give her his one word description. Though many ideas had run through his head, the word he finally decided to use was "majestic".
After seeing what had happened to Sly, none of the other wizards dared even touch the queen. When his turn came, Kennarith simply knelt before the queen and said "you are the most majestic person I have ever met, but then again, I not met many kings or queens." A line like that would have made most humans smile, at least, but Apida's face showed no emotion.
The tests had been gentle so far, but Apida's thoughts turned to the physical. She feared that her mate might break during the exchange of genetic material that must eventually come. It had happened in the past, and so, a test of physical capability was developed.
The queen retired through one door, and the bee man Bee'de took the six of you off in another direction. He brought you all to a hollowed-out honeycomb that was a replica of the queen's nuptial chamber. There were six divans made of sculpted wax, and he told you all to lie down upon them. He then began to spurt honey on Perry from a bell-shaped receptacle on wheels with a hose and nozzle attachment.
"Ewww!" said Perry. When Bee'de finished he was completely immersed except for his head.
"Are we in any danger from this?" asked Ali Bongo.
"You will not be harmed if you do not struggle," answered Bee'de, "but you may be seriously injured if you resist."
It occurred to Kennarith Ko that he as a wizard, and that whatever was in store for him when he was coccooned in a Manukan miasma of melted molasses (okay, honey, but the feeling would be much the same), he should not just take it lying down as a warrior would. He might be able to do something to himself as a wizard, and he wondered what spell he might cast upon himself to better his chances.

He might be able to do something to himself as a wizard, and he wondered what spell he might cast upon himself to better his chances.
Kennarith thought about the warning–he had been told not to move, and the one spell that would freeze him in his tracks was Hold That Pose. He cast it on himself at level 3, knowing that would hold him for up to 8 minutes, and hoping that would be enough.
The honey was extremely hot, and beneath it the wizards heated up very quickly. However, all of them had the same thought, and all had cast Hold That Pose. They all endured the heat well enough, and a few minutes later, Bee'de brought attendants to clean them off. He was somewhat surprised to see that all six contestants came through the ordeal unscathed.
The Queen took one look at her wooers and smiled slightly.
"And now, my would-be wooers," she buzzed, "it is time for us to take a walk in the forest. Gather what protective gear you may have, and meet me at the entrance to the hive one hour from now." She departed to make herself ready for the excursion.
Kennarith did not have much in the way of special provisions to make for himself. He had no armor and little in the way of weapons, since he had counted on the Huntsman to protect him in the jungle. Instead he made certain that he had plenty of water in two canteens, some high energy food, and he put two healing potions in the pockets inside his robe. He wore knee-high boots and a leather cap inside his wizard's cowl, and hoped that would be sufficient.
An hour later the six wizards stood at the entrance to the hive. Apida appeared with an escort of 20 soldiers, all fully armed and armored. The bee men and the queen have protections that outsiders such as Kennarith and the other wizards would never dream of. No such protections were offered to the wizards.
"This walk may be extremely dangerous for you," warned Bee'de. "Before you risk your lives in the Phantagonian jungles, think, and if you wish, you may back out now."
The bee soldiers escorted Apida, Perry, Ali, Spon, Sly, and Kennarith along a trail visible only to them. Nux had announced at the beginning that he really didn't feel up to trekking through the jungle that day, and had retired back to the hive. The constantly beating wings of the soldiers did at least provide enough of a breeze to evaporate the sweat off your body, and thus provide some measure of coolness.
After several minutes of walking, Ali Bongo sidled over to Kennarith and began to speak in the Thieves Cant of the Khazan ghettos. "Ey, matey, 'ow you like der tests zo far? Gotta offer for ya. Innerested?"
Kennarith looked at the other wizard coldly. "Wotch gots in yer mind?" he answered in the same almost unintelligible jargon.
"Look ere, Palzy. Itz gonna be hard ta know how to win dis ere game. Wotcha say we nooj der oddz a bit. Iffin I wins, i do give you a top job ere, an' you does der same fer me iffen you gets der young missy. And," he waggled an eyebrow knowingly, "we alzo duz wut we kin ter 'elp each udder wen we kin gainst der odders ere. Woddya say? Deal or no deal?"
Kennarith smiled at Ali, and made a
thief's sign with his left thumb and forefinger. "Deal,
Palsy," he whispered, "but keep it on der downlow, hokay?"
"Ri-ite!" grinned the other wizard. "Laters!" He wandered
off. As the walk continued, Kennarith noticed that Ali
approached some of the other wizards as well. Sly gave him a
big grin, Spontaneous looked confused and Perry said, "Wut?
Get away from me!"
Suddenly the brisk march through Phantog ended. The party
entered an octagonal clearing filled with luscious
lascivious, lurid blooms of epic proportions. Another
twenty Manukan soldiers were standing around the clearing to
protect these flowers.
Some workers opened a large wooden chest they had been
carrying and took from it several large goblets carved from
a translucent, jade-like stone. They gave one cup to each
"Go to the flowers and collect the pollen within them,"
buzzed the queen.
The wizards set to work. For a half-elf, Perry did not
seem to react very well to plants. After only a short time,
he sneezed so hard that he dropped his collecting cup and
spilled what little pollen he had gathered on the ground.
Bee'de approached and told him to stop–his part of the test
was over. The others all managed their tasks with varying
degrees of success. Surprisingly, Sly was the best at
accumulating flower pollen. When he presented his cup to the
queen, it had half again as much pollen in it as the second
best (Ali) and nearly three times as much as Kennarith had
collected. On the other hand, the other wizards all looked
both tired and dehydrated after collecting pollen for half
an hour, but Kennarith, who had brought plenty of water, and
drank liberally from it as he worked, just felt better and
Just as the queen finished checking Kennarith's cup, a
strange beast charged into the clearing–a wide-nostriled
mucous wrangler. It charged, head down, nose down,
firing a shower of snot pellets in all directions. One
noxious missile hit Ali in the forehead and spattered all
over his face. He went down flailing; his skin turned green,
and he began to vomit, all very quickly.
The soldiers ruahed to attack the elephant-sized beast. It
had already trampled one flower and was bearing down upon
the queen.
With 40 guards coming to the defense of the queen, not to mention three other wizards, Kennarith figured that his best option was to try and save Ali's life.
His first action was to cast a Call Water spell and wash the poisonous mucous off of Ali's head, reasoning that the sooner the infection was removed, the less damage would be done. He wished he knew a Too Bad Toxin spell, but he didn't. It was within his powers to cast it, but a fourth level spell, and as a 2nd level wizard who had recently graduated to 3rd level, he simply hadn't learned it yet. 4th level spells cost 1500 gold to learn, and the truth was that many wizards learned their higher level spells by getting more advanced wizards to simply teach them outside the guild offices.
Ali still looked like he might die, his complexion distinctly green and his breath coming in short harsh gasps. Kennarith reached into one of his inner robe pockets and pulled out one of the two healing potions that he had brought with him. He poured it down Ali's throat and hoped for the best.
Between the death spells of the other wizards and the furious halbard work of the bee soldiers, the mighty Mucous Wrangler didn't last long. One soldier was hit by the falling monster and squashed flat.
Queen Apida noticed that three wizards had cast spells in her defense, but that Kennarith had rushed to the aid of the only person in serious danger from the attack. She awarded points to the three wizards who defended her, and none to Kennarith and Ali, but kept in mind that Kennarith had kept his head during the emergency and preserved a life.
When the excitement subsided it was time to return to the hive. The cups full of pollen were closed with lids on top, and the four functional wizards were told that they must carry their cups back to the hive balanced atop their heads in order to leave their hands free for self defense. Kennarith and the other wizards tried balancing the flat-bottomed cups on their heads, and managed for a short time, but they were constantly in danger of falling off. "This is silly," Kennarith declared. He removed the cup from his head, pulled open his robe, placed the sealed cup in his largest pocket, and then proceeded along the path with little danger of losing the precious pollen. The other three wizards made similar arrangements. Sly simply used his hands after the first near mishap, figuring that there were plenty of soldiers to defend him in case of another attack.
Suddenly Apida pointed into the dense lushness of the jungle. "We will take the short cut back. There is something I want to show you. Quick! Find the secret door and we shall be safe and have time to play!"
Perry, Spon, and Sly dashed forward, magic crackling from their fingertips. Ali remained in the litter that two of the soldiers were carrying. His condition had stabilized, but he was still in no shape for a rigorous walk in the woods.

Hi everyone...first post here,
I have a '95 3.4L Camaro. I've been trying to fix it up a bit to drive it occasionally, and it has 172K on it now.
I've been tackling different issues with it, and right now I have a coolant leak around the left side of the water pump. I know the timing cover gasket can be a problem on these, as well as intake manifold gaskets and (maybe) freeze plugs.
I've pressure tested the system, and this seems to be the one problem area. Is there any way to tell if it is for sure the timing cover gasket, or something else?

Oh, lupakan perihal Ramadhan ku diperantauan yang sangat hambar dan suram tahun ini, kerana topik itu sudah basi diolah pada post yang lepas. Post ini seharusnya tertumpu pada Syawal yang bakal menjelang Insyallah esok atau lusa.
Baju Raya...
Alhamdulillah... tak seperti tahun lepas beraya tanpa walau sepasang baju raya pun, tahun ini aku ada 3/4 pasang baju raya. Dan semestinya I'm lovin all of em. Ibu tersayang sanggup menjahitkan sepasang baju raya untuk aku dan menempah khas lagi 3 pasang daripada tailor kegemarannya.
1 Syawal...
Apa aku nak buat di pagi raya?? Ya Allah, sedihnya bila mengenangkan 1 Syawal aku tahun ini. Kalau 1 Syawal jatuh hari Ahad, daptlah aku join group yang nak solat eid di masjid mana ntah. Kalau tak, silap2 aku akan duduk rumah sorang2 mengadap laptop. Saddish.. I know. 3rd day show of BFM pulak jatuh pada hari Ahad. Memang bertambah2 syahdulah aku hari tu. Maka, akan berhingusanlah ketua kampng Eco Village kerana menangis menelepon kampung halaman terchenta.
Open House...
Buang tebiat ke ape? I cant even call my place a "house". It's too small to be called a house. But, it's definitely a "home" to me. Nak buat Open Room pun macam tak sanggup je. Bukan apa, aku seganlah. Rumah kecik, nak terima tetamu ramai2 pun, kesian mereka tak boleh nak duduk dengan selesa. Hajat hati nak menjamu kawan2 Umsa committee ku. Tapi, my financial status pun agak goyah. Harap2, Allah murahkan rezeki nak menjamu orang sebelum balik Malaysia ni.
Ooohhh, assignments yang berderet di hari raya. Sepatutnya, aku ade dateline on next monday which is d 2nd day of Syawal. Mujur juge lecturer tu consider kami yang nak beraya ni. Maka, dateline ditangguh ke minggu berikutnya. Terima kasih sgt2 la kat dia. Tapi, still, aku ada presentation next week. Haih! Inilah pengalaman beraya di tempat orang. Mahal okey, pengalaman ni. Kat sini mana ada public holidays for eid-ul-fitr. Dorang bukan tahu pun ape menatang tu.. huhu.
Oh, Allah... Aku mohon keampunan dan rahmatMu. Semoga berakhirnya Ramadhan kali ini memberi 1001 pengertian buatku. Aku mohon agar aku dapat bertemu dengan Ramadhan yang akan datang. Limpah dan murahkanlah rezeki yang halal padaku agar dapat ku menyambut Syawal kali ini bersama teman2 di perantauan ini, Ya Allah. Ameen.

Basically, Umsa Ball was my first, my last, n would most probably be my one and only BALL in my life. Was held on the 30th August 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Auckland CT. I presume that this post will be super extra lengthy because I have so much to share about this event. One of the most important events in my life.
Few days after that, Naomi and I went to a clothes' shop somewhere which I couldnt remember the name of the place, and we bought all d clothes to make drapes for ceiling and photospot's deco. It cost us around $200 ++.
I am a very particular person when it comes to all these stuff. The bowls and d centrepiece shud be handled using gloves or anything to make sure no finger prints was left on the glasses. Plus, those items were signed under my name thus, they were my responsibility. It really broke my heart to see those bowls left in the middle of the stage with stuff hanging around them, people doing work here and there. If something fell on them and broke any of those..... =_='

I had Lingo paper at 2pm today. Been struggling to cram everything into this little coconut up hear inside my head. Damn... if I could scan d electrons inside my brain, n d storage system up there, I guess, it would definitely look like what my mum would call as "sarang tikus" or "pusat pelupusan sampah"! Everything has gone haywire. Mixed up everything here and there. Well, of course, I managed to finish reading all the notes and quite a number of pages in the prescribed textbook... I would really love to use the word "study". But, I highly doubt that any learning ever took place throughout the reading process. Lol!
It was the worst feeling I have ever had prior to sitting for a test/exam. Very unprepared, and useless. The test was yet to start but, I already felt like I might screw that one up. *sigh* History has always been my weakest subject at school. Why do I have to take a history of ENGLISH pulak now??? Why???
Really hope, I wont flunk this course.
- Starts off as total strangers
- Became acquaintance
- Next is friendship
- We argue, fight, and tease each other
- I want to be there for u... always supporting u no matter what
- You hold my hands when others are not looking
- Then you touch my face
- There's a whisper in our hearts that only we could hear
- Start missing each other
- Then, it becomes a fully blossomed tree... hehehe
Is this how it normally grows?? Are there some particular stages that should be undergone in orders? What if the process stops at No.9 or earlier? What are the chances of moving to No.10?

One day (indeed, almost everyday), a girl named Alice called her so called boy friend at around 9pm. However, because their relationship is a LDR (long distance relationship or "Cinta antara Benua"), it was around 5pm for the boyfriend. Let's call the boy, Eric. So, yeah Eric picked up the phone and they talked for no longer than 2 mins, maybe. Eric asked Alice to call him back at around 1am, Eric's time. 1am??!!! Doesn't it mean 5am, Alice time??!! Yes! That's true. Eric knew this fact. But, he still tried to persuade Alice to call him at that time. Alice somehow bought Eric's sweet talk though she did feel a lil frustrated on Eric's inconsideration towards her.
That night, Alice was so tired and sleepy. She really wanted to go to bed. But, she knew if she were to sleep now, she would not wake up at 5am to call Eric. So, she decided to stay awake till 5am and called Eric. While she was waiting for the time to slowly pass by, she reflected how she was treated by Eric ever since she became Eric's gf. Eric is always a good, nice guy. But, he was so insensitive towards Alice. It seemed to her that Eric likes to take her for granted. She has always been the one to make the effort in their relationship. She hates waiting. But then, she really wanted to make this relationship works. Plus, they rarely had the chance to talk on the phone for more than 10mins without interference and distraction by his friends. So, she tried to be positive and ignored all the negative sensations she had all inside her.
It finally 5am! Yay!!! Alice was so excited to call Eric. Firstly, because they have not had a serious, lovey dovey conversation for quite some times. Secondly, because it also means that she could go to bed right after the call. She, dialled Eric's number and waited for him to pick it up. Once, twice....... the 27th time, and counting... Eric still had not picked up the phone. Alice's patience was being tested that night. She wanted to give up. But, on a second, third, fourth thoughts, after those hours that she had to stay up just to make that one call to Eric, and now, she wanted to give up just like that?? No way... She tried to comfort herself by saying that Eric might be in the toilet, or watching tv and left his phone in the room AS ALWAYS. She kept on trying and trying and trying, until finally... Eric picked it up! Wow! It was a miracle! He apologised and said that he was on the bike and now he was hanging out with his friend. At this point, Alice knew that that night would be just like any other night, when she would be neglected and hurt by Eric. But still, she tried to remain as positive as possible. She was trying to sound cool and happy even though she was very sleepy, frustrated and almost break down into tears.
Eric did not realise this, of course. He was so happy telling Alice about his day. He then asked Alice about Alice's day just to make things equal, I guess. Alice started to feel that there is still hope in their relationship. Alice was telling Eric about her day, only to be interrupted by a boisterous laughter, after telling 2 sentences of her story. It was very noisy and it was very hard for Alice to hear exactly what been said by whom. Then, she realised, that she had been talking alone to the phone because Eric was chatting with his friendssss right after he asked Alice about her day. Alice immediately went to silence and she tried to listen to the boy's conversation. But all that she could make sense was Eric's laughters followed by his friends'. After about 5mins Eric leaving Alice alone on the other side of the line, he returned back to the phone maybe when he realised that he was still on the phone with his girlfriend. He continued the conversation as if nothing happened, as if he has always been talking to Alice from the beginning. Alice really could not take it anymore. She would definitely going to break down if she remained on the phone. So, she told Eric that she wanted to go to bed as she was very tired. And, AS ALWAYS, that's how their phone call ended.
After that phone call, Alice came to her sense and put her pride, senses, and thoughts before her emotions. That was not the first or second time Eric that to her. She even told Eric what she felt everytime Eric did that to her. But, still the same things continued to happen. She knew that Eric loved her, but the love was not portrayed thru his actions. She sacrificed her time, energy, and of course, money for him. She was the one who made all the phone calls. She never demanded Eric to call her because she understood that they were both not working, and it was more expensive for Eric to call Alice. However, Eric should at least, texted Alice once a while. At least, once a week. It wasn't expensive at all to leave a simple text to Alice. Alice had been telling Eric the same thing and Eric's respond was always, "Okay, I will." and of course, no, he never leave a single text. He even requested Alice to call him very late at night without considering about Alice's condition, her sleep, her class the next day, etc though, he had been reminded by Alice about the time gap.
Not just that, Eric did not have internet at home. He had to surf the net in the nearby restaurant with free wifi. Thus, Alice and Eric never got the chance to chat/see each other thru video conference. It was just because Eric said he was too lazy to surf the net which left them with the only option to keep in touch thru Alice calling him. It was not cheap for Alice to call Eric, you know... Though, it was cheaper than Eric calling her, but still, it wasw still expensive. Alice decided not to call Eric anymore and instead, she just left an offline message to Eric, hoping that he would go online oneday, and read the message. Alice thought that, Eric would definitely try to contact her if he missed her sooner or later. But, all that she received was another offline message. Not a single text, still.

Oh God, I have been neglecting this blog for as long as I could remember.. Was planning to update my practicum experience every week, but it seemed only the first week of practicum was up (and that one could not even be categorised as an update because it was posted quite late too...lol!).
I wanted to blame my hectic life for causing me to totally ignoring my dear blog. When I said "ignore", I really meant it. I seriously have not opened my blog ever since my last post was published.
Yeah, so these are the ups and downs, bits and pieces of my life that you have been missing out:
- -practicum every Thursdays for 5 weeks, following with 1 week-mon to fri (this 1 week burned 1 week of my mid term break, darn!!!)
- -BFM practices... dancing, singing, acting every week -very taxing.
- -Preparation for Umsa Ball which caused too many problems and issues... very irritating!
- -Never ending assignments and tests being chucked in 2 weeks -like hell!
- -The Umsa Ball itself -the hard work paid off! (This particular event/ bit of my life will be covered in detail under a post of its own coz it is too special to be ignored)
- -BFM 1st full rehearsal 2 days ago -now everyone is counting the days to the real performance days...
The list above might not be able to successfully represent my packed, daily schedule, but they are actually enough to make me forgot to comb my hair before i dash out to meetings and practices, eating fruits and neglecting my proper meals because of the lack of time and energy to cook, mounting my laundries for 2 weeks till i had no more clothes to wear (this time I really can't blame my procrastination habit because doing laundry here requires me to be available at home for at least 3 hours which was impossible for the past few weeks), and the most unforgivable part was when I forgot the actual submission date for my assignment which nearly caused me a heart attack!

The European Commission has 25 working days after a deal is filed for a first-stage review. It may extend that by 10 working days to 35 working days, to consider either a company's proposed remedies or an EU member state's request to handle the case. Most mergers win approval but occasionally the Commission opens a detailed second-stage investigation for up to 90 additional working days, which it may extend to 105 working days.
Under the simplified procedure, the Commission announces the clearance of uncontroversial first-stage mergers without giving any reason for its decision. Cases may be reclassified as non-simplified - that is, ordinary first-stage reviews - until they are approved. (Reporting by Daphne Psaledakis)

Booklaunch by Kate Rigby, commentary by Franz-Josef Brüggemeier:
"Crossing the disciplinary divide to bridge the sustainability gap"
In order to reduce the "the growing 'sustainability gap' between what we know needs to be done and what is actually being done'" (Fischer et al. "Mind the sustainability gap." Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 22.12, 2007), new modes of research are required that cross the disciplinary divide between the natural sciences and the humanities and social sciences. Dancing with Disaster attempts this difficult crossing with respect to the sustainability challenge of climate change mitigation and adaptation by exploring environmental histories and literary representations of past 'natural' disasters, real and imagined. These histories and narratives disclose the complex entanglement of socio-cultural and bio-physical processes and agencies in such calamitous occurrences, as well as raising questions about human ethical responsibility towards others (human and nonhuman) in reducing vulnerability, saving lives, and assisting recovery.
"Dancing with Disaster operates within what is [...] the most productive vein of contemporary environmental-theoretical thought and mines that vein significantly further in both theoretical and practical ways."
— Frederick Buell, CUNY Queens, author of From Apocalypse to Way of Life: Environmental Crisis in the American Century

"… I am with you always!" (Matthew 28:20)
What could be worse than being told you have cancer?
Being told your cancer is back!
I didn't want to hear that my body had been invaded by cancer. The first time was difficult enough, but now AGAIN? The news is terrifying—earth shattering. There are so many questions and no answers: What treatment method should I use? How will/should my lifestyle change? Will I survive? What should I do?
What did I do? I prayed. I prayed fervently and read the Word in search of answers. One day it finally came. I heard the voice of God say it was okay. He would be with me no matter what. He had my back. What else could I possibly need?
God's assurance that he is with me gives me the courage to face each day. I don't know what lies ahead, but I've recommitted myself to healing, not only my body, but my spirit as well. No more half-hearted attempts to eat right. Only nutritionally sound food allowed in God's temple. No more half-hearted attempts at faith or superficial displays of devotion. Only an open heart will discover true intimacy with God. I will trust that He is my strength. Through daily prayer and devotion, I will find the strength I need. No matter what happens, He has my back. Through an intimate communion with God, I will find peace—God's peace—the peace that passes all understanding.
Dear Lord,
Thanks for second chances and for hope. Carry me through this journey to the place you want me to be. No matter what happens I know you've got my back and you love me and I can trust you. Help me do my part: obedience and deeper intimacy with you. AMEN

Handwashing Gets Skipped a Third of the Time in Outpatient Healthcare: Study
Washington, DC, April 11, 2016
Despite having policies in place to prevent infections, staff at outpatient care facilities fail to follow recommendations for hand hygiene 37 percent of the time, and for safe injection practices 33 percent of the time, according to a study published in the April issue of the American Journal of Infection Control, the official publication of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).
Researchers from the University of New Mexico and the New Mexico Health Department conducted a cross-sectional study of 15 geographically-dispersed outpatient facilities in which medical students assessed infection prevention policies and practices during the summer of 2014. Medical student interviews with outpatient facility staff indicated that 93 percent of recommended policies were in place across the 15 facilities. However, when the students observed behaviors, they noted only 63 percent compliance with recommended hand hygiene practices and 66 percent compliance with safe injection practices. In 37 percent of hand hygiene observations, no hand hygiene was performed.
"Despite high levels of report of hand hygiene education and observed supply availability, observations of hand hygiene and aseptic injection technique showed lack of similarly high behavior compliance," the study authors commented. "This project highlights the importance of assessing both the report of recommended infection prevention policies and practices, as well as behavior compliance through observational audits. This is critical because there have been outbreaks and infection transmission to patients reported in outpatient settings due to these types of infection prevention breaches, including transmission of hepatitis B and C."
Medical students assessed prevention policies using an outpatient infection prevention checklist developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that included 14 topic areas including administrative policies, education and training, occupational health, environment cleaning, hand hygiene, and injection safety. In addition to assessing policies via the checklist, the students evaluated injection safety and hand hygiene practices through direct observations. Each student was asked to observe 10 injections and 20 hand hygiene opportunities at their assigned outpatient practice.
Of the 163 injection safety observations, only 66 percent of the preparations complied with all of the recommended infection prevention steps, which included performing hand hygiene, disinfecting the rubber septum, using a new needle and syringe, properly discarding single-dose vials, and dating multi-dose vials upon opening. During the 330 hand hygiene observations, students reported that hand hygiene supplies were available 100 percent of the time.
"These findings highlight the need for ongoing quality improvement initiatives regarding infection prevention policies and practices in outpatient settings," conclude the authors.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Color Fusers July Blog Hop! I hope you've all enjoyed what you've seen so far and have been inspired. The line up is at the bottom of this post, please be sure to view everyone's blog for more inspiration.
I really enjoyed working with these colors this month and I hope you enjoy my card!
For my project today, I created a birthday card. An X-ray card to be exact! The window sheet gives the illusion of an X-ray. When I looked at these colors, I immediately thought of a masculine card. While this card is masculine, I'm thinking it would work best for a younger boy's birthday.
Inside of the card
I used the stamp set, No Bones About It (138756). This is the first time I've used this set and I'm hooked! When I showed my boys the card, they thought it was a magic trick haha. I actually cased this card from video by Dawn Griffith, click on her name to view the video. Since it was more of a child's card, there is minimal embellishments which makes it pretty quick to complete.
I hope you've enjoyed this card as much as I did making it. If you're interested in purchasing any of the supplies to create this card, please feel free to visit my site. I'd love to have your business. If you've ever thought of selling Stampin Up, now would be the perfect month to do so! Stampin Up is offering some Christmas in July incentives to new demonstrators. Please contact me for more information if you're interested! It would be fun to add you to my team!!
Here is a list of the supplies I used followed by the blog hop lineup. I'm so thankful you stopped by my blog today and I hope you've picked up some inspiration. Enjoy the hop and I'll see you soon!

Long car trips can be fun, but they can also be very tiring and expensive. This is why it's important to have a plan in place to help you anticipate how much time and money you need to spend.
Lots of people go on long rides for fun. As they say, "getting there is half the fun." If you have enough time and money to spend, you can be as leisurely as you want. You can even go on side trips to check out some sights off the beaten path. However, this is not the case for those who need to travel with time and budget restraints.
"Josh Recommends" for the Week of November 1, 2019 By Josh Garrick
Can't get enough Halloween goodness? I can't, either (or of those giant bags of candy we're supposed to hand out to trick or treaters...). I've gathered some great articles from our site and the sites of several of our editors - all great writers with spooky things to share.
Note: This is an important column from one of our favorite artists and environmentalists, Jason deCaires Taylor (you've seen his work here on Wandering Educators for years). Jason allowed us to republish this article about an incredible new art installation, called Pride of Brexit.
When I first entered the stylish and graceful Hotel Belvedere in Locarno, Switzerland, I was unaware of the structure's history. A 2017 renovation instilled modernity into the hotel, so the historical value of the property was not readily apparent. My visit to this 4-star hotel, commanding lovely views of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains, was made in conjunction with an early September Hiking in Style media trip to Switzerland. A tour of the hotel opened my eyes to the building's historical value and its incredible art collection.
"The word death is not pronounced in New York, Paris or in London,
because it burns the lips. The Mexican, in contrast, is familiar with death,
jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it; it is one of his
favorite toys and his most steadfast love."
-Octavio Paz, The Labyrinth of Solitude, 1961.
Whether you are new to European Christmas markets, or you're an old pro, you know that there is wonder involved. This year, head to the Island of Mainau, on Lake Constance (Bodensee, in German) on the Überlinger See, in SouthWest Germany.
There's a new holiday market in town, along with some incredible Scandinavian-focused activities, and cold-weather traditions.
One of the major drawcards to life as a traveling educator is that you get to experience different cultures without having to forego your passion for teaching. Debt can place a damper on that experience, and according to research, those with debt experience high levels of guilt and shame.
