: It is a boon to both the foreign and domestic tourists who are visiting Kanyakumari as they could purchase mangoes for cheaper price at Pazhathottam near Kanyakumari.
The Horticulture Department has started the sale of naturally ripened mangos at Pazhathottam.
Pazhathottam is situated on 34 acres with 135 mango trees apart from other fruit trees. It sells mangoes for two seasons in a year — main season from April to June and the second season from November to December.
The Horticulture Department has set up a stall in Pazhathottam to facilitate the people to purchase mangoes, including Bangaloora, Kalappadu, Pankanapalli, Malgova etc.
Hence, officials of the Department of the Horticulture have made an appeal to people make use of this benefit.

Love the boxes and the colors
Steve, I love the design's boxes and colors. Not that we have to keep those specific colors, but I like the use of pastels for each box. And even though the heading boxes use a more saturated color, they're not as saturated as the colors in the previous design, which leaves them looking more contemporary and more in keeping with the new FamilySearch.org designs displayed on FamilySearch Labs.

The Berkshires
ALBANY, N.Y. -- The case of an Albany teen accused of stabbing and paralyzing a 15-year-old Rensselaer teen in May now heads to trial.
According to the Albany County District Attorney's Office, for the second time in two weeks, Juan Anderson rejected a plea deal in court Monday morning. District Attorney David Soares says Anderson stabbed Adeujuan Adams in the neck in the South End during a bicycle robbery. Adams' spinal cord was nearly severed and the DA said Adams almost died.
The plea deal would have required Anderson to serve 18 years in prison.
Anderson faces 25 years in prison if convicted at trial of felony assault and robbery charges.
Authorities say Anderson stabbed Adams because Anderson wanted to steal Adams' bike.
Adams, who is now unable to use most of his body, underwent intensive therapy at a rehabilitation hospital in Atlanta and a tube was inserted into his neck for him to breathe.

Although they just arrived to the minimalist market less than a year ago, Merrell certainly seems determined to make up for lost time.
The Barefoot Run line will be the road running counterpart to Merrell's outstanding Trail Glove and Pace Glove minimalist trail shoes. (See my men's Trail Glove review here , and my women's Pace Glove review here .) These will also come in gender-specific versions: the Dash Glove for women, and the Road Glove for men.
Although my wife has tested Merrell's Barefoot shoes (with a Lithe Glove review coming shortly), she's most interested in the Bare Access Arc, one of the new transitional models for Spring. Her preference is for zero-drop shoes with moderate cushioning, such as the GoLite Amp Lite and the Altra Intuition (review coming shortly also).
I'm somewhat curious as to how sales of the new Barefoot lines will fare across the board; one possible downside of so many options is that there may not be any standout model that makes a big impact on market share like the Trail Glove managed to do this summer. There's bound to be a certain paradox of choice involved with so many new models hitting the market at once, and it wouldn't surprise me if several of the new styles disappear fairly quickly after release, especially in the water and lifestyle categories. Time will tell, though – and I've certainly guessed wrong before.
All of the Spring 2012 styles are scheduled to be released in February, and select items will be reviewed here as well. If you're interested in the very long-winded version of this preview, the entire press release follows below.
Merrell Expands Barefoot Designs to Run and Play Naturally with BareForm Fit and Zero Drop Approach
Spring 2012 Marks New Road Barefoot and Access Running; Barefoot Water; Training and Lifestyle Shoes
ROCKFORD, Mich. (June 2011) – Bringing the benefits of barefoot running to other activities, Merrell expands its barefoot-inspired shoe offerings with new Barefoot Run road running shoes, Barefoot Train, for athletic training, Barefoot Water for water enthusiasts and Barefoot Life, for a connected fit and feel in all steps of life. In running, Road and Dash Gloves offer a natural fit for road surfaces. New Merrell Access running designs are "gateway" running shoes that maintain Merrell's zero drop, foot contoured design approach with a 8 mm M-Bound cushion for an entry into natural movement. New barefoot styles will be available in February 2012 at Merrell retailers and on merrell.com.
"As we looked to design the next generation of Merrell Barefoot, we did a lot of listening and learning," said Craig Throne, vice president of global marketing at Merrell. "We realized that the benefits of barefoot running should be leveraged to other activities where enthusiasts want a barefoot fit and ground feel but need a bit of protection. Our Merrell approach is simple, we work from the ground up knowing that the closer a runner is to his or her terrain, the better a runner's form."
Run Naturally – Barefoot Running Shoes
Connecting runners to the road with a natural stride, Merrell introduces gender specific barefoot road running shoes that provide a zero drop ride to let feet land pancake flat. Dash Glove for women is a synthetic leather and mesh running shoe with DWR treated uppers to repel water. Reflective details offer visibility in low light. Road Glove for men is a synthetic leather and mesh running shoe with a fused rubber toe bumper for durability and protection.
Knowing that runners have individual needs, Merrell is providing a range of barefoot options for the "right shoe for you." Merrell Bare Access (for men) and Bare Access Arc (for women) are positioned as "gateway" running shoes that maintain Merrell's zero drop, foot contoured design approach with an 8 mm M Bound cushion for an entry into Merrell's BareForm movement.
Bare Water
Water enthusiasts can now experience the benefits of Merrell Barefoot. From stand-up paddling to scrambling through rivers and canyoneering, Merrell Barefoot Water allows feet to feel the underwater terrain with the slight protection needed. A Vibram sole provides extra grip enhancing traction and performance on boards, riverbeds and boats.
For men, Current Glove is a water-friendly lace-up with drainage ports in the heel and toe to shed water. For a quick-cinch fit, Rapid Glove is a slip-on with an adjustable in-step webbing strap for a precise fit. New barefoot water worthy sandals include: Hydro Wrap, a sandal with a rear sling for stability and three strap hook and loop closure for adjustability; Aqua Wrap, a secure fitting, double hook and loop closure sandal; Battari Wrap, an easy on and off sandal; and Paciki Wrap, a barefoot flip flop.
For women, Swift Glove is a lace up with a bellows tongue to keep debris out. For an easy on and off water companion, River Glove is a Mary Jane styled slide. Sandals that keep enthusiasts connected include Pipidae Wrap with a three-strap closure system and secure heel and Hylidae Wrap, a playful criss-cross strapped design with a toe loop for added femininity.
Barefoot Train
From yoga to circuit training and Cross Fit, Merrell Barefoot Train shoes encourage natural motion to align and empower the body. The BareForm design allows the foot to splay pancake flat for greater stability and sensory feedback. This improves alignment and stimulates muscles for optimal strength and conditioning. Introduced in the fall, the Embark Glove Gore-Tex and Sonic Glove soft shell barefoot shoes for men offer next-to-skin protection for any fitness adventure. For women, the new Lithe MJ Glove offers the power of connection in a fabric and synthetic leather Mary Jane style ideal for cross training.
Barefoot Life
Putting the power of intention on feet for everyday adventures, Merrell Barefoot Life shoes sport the wellness and foot strengthening benefits of barefoot in stylish silhouettes to wear out to dinner, at work or to the farmer's market. Each step is taken the way nature intended. Two new styles for guys offer just enough underfoot protection, while letting feet land flat and feel the terrain on which they play. Edge Glove is a progressive, athletic sneaker and Slant Glove is a slip-on moc. For women, five new whimsical styles keep feet connected and body aligned. Serene Glove is a barefoot ballet slipper with a playful ankle ribbon for unique styling. Delight Glove is a casual moc and Wonder Glove is a cute Mary Jane style. For warm weather jaunts, Spirit Wrap is a barefoot sandal with an ankle wrap detail and Burst Wrap is a barely-there flip-flop.
Merrell's mission is to inspire the outdoor athlete in everyone by aligning its "Let's Get Outside" brand to increase outdoor participation with running and adventure races, festivals and other community events to increase outdoor participation. By partnering with events such as the Oyster Racing Series, the Down & Dirty Mud Run, the Naked Foot 5K, food and wine festivals and the Mountain Jam Music Festival, all representing a similar inclusive outdoor ethos, Merrell is working to inspire more people to get outside and live outdoor lifestyles. Once you're out there, Merrell provides the shoes and clothing to keep you going in full comfort and performance. Merrell is also a partner and proud supporter of our Public Lands through its affiliations with the American Hiking Society, National Trails Day and National Parks Foundation. These synergized partnerships aim to make our natural playgrounds more visible and accessible in an effort to inspire more people to get outside and enjoy their natural resources.

Saturday mornings are great for casually sipping coffee, learning about beans, roasting methods, proper grinding, brewing at altitude, and picking up flavor profiles and nuances. Add snow to the mix, and it's a perfect November day in Boulder, Colorado. Thank you Briana May for your beautiful photos.

I've been averse to plastic in my kitchen for a long time now and as a result haven't bought plastic wrap in years. Living in a dry, high altitude town means your beautiful freshly baked baguettes will turn into crackers without being stored in plastic, so I've kept plastic bags in the kitchen for those moments when I can't finish a loaf in a day. But, I came across a unique solution a few months ago on Food 52- Bee's Wrap.
Bee's Wrap is made with organic cotton covered in beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. The warmth of your hands molds it to your baguette (or cheese, bowl, sandwich), and then it stiffens when it cools and maintains its shape.
You can wash it in cool water with mild dish detergent, let it air dry, and it lasts approximately one year. I haven't had mine for a year yet, so I can't testify to what starts to happen that you'd realize it was time to buy a new one. I also have only used mine for bread thus far.
I love the opportunity to not just keep plastic from my foods, but keep it out of landfills, and hopefully be part of a growing number of consumers voting with their dollars against our non-stop creation of thousands upon thousands of miles of plastic wrap each year.
If you live here in the Boulder area, you can pick up some Bee's Wrap at Cured. Otherwise, check out their interesting website and at least consider it. If it's not for you, then for your super environmentally-friendly friend.
Boycott Zeal Food for Enthusiasts
- At September 27, 2014

Zeal- Food for Enthusiasts, a not-quite one year old establishment, has just fired their second executive chef in ten months. First time restauranteur Wayde Jester has, according to comment from his staff, refused to listen to advice from veterans in the industry and has preferred to run a place where people are fired for not fitting in with the "love will see us through" front of the house philosophy that has formed a cult of sorts in the management.
Front of the house issues have been apparent from the start, which is expected when one has no experience and tries to play restauranteur without listening to and following the advice of industry professionals who have worked hard and done this all before. But, the back of the house was originally staffed with professional chefs with experience at OAK at Fourteenth, L'atelier, Frasca, and Jax, to name a few successful restaurant models here in town.
The most recent shift has brought A Bolder Table to the decision to boycott Zeal. Their executive chef, Sean Smith, had poured everything he had into running that kitchen and was called in for a meeting on his day off to be blind-sided and fired, effective immediately, with no severance, for doing a great job and working incredibly hard, but not leaving the kitchen to socialize with Zeal's guests. I'm sorry folks, but chefs usually don't socialize- they run the kitchen and make your dining experience possible with the help of the front of the house staff being there to touch tables and mingle with diners. Wayde Jester fired a chef with no one next in line to be trained in Sean's duties. He then lied to the staff about the staff change, and is refusing to repay the former chef for out of pocket restaurant expenses incurred while employed. Staff moral is very low and each and every employee has reached out to Sean in tears, outrage, or just plain disbelief.
The "love is all we need" facade will only last so long. Showing zero love to one of the most hard working and important employees of their establishment is the antithesis to who they say they are. A number of employees have been put on probation for "bad attitudes," a number have quit, and people continue to be fired. There is almost no one present besides the owner who has been there since it opened in December 2013. If you're in the restaurant industry, you'll recognize this as a red flag. If you're not, you can probably see the difficulties ahead for the fledgling establishment, especially in a small town. So, I can no longer support Zeal with compliments and accolades. Instead, I'm eager to see the next place that opens in their current space.
*Disclaimer- Sean Smith is connected to A Bolder Table, so we are not just passionate about the issue, but know all of the unfortunate details.
Eataly, Chicago- A Gourmand's Dream Come True

You walk in to a gourmet fresh produce market with raisins dried on the vine, exotic fruits, fresh vegetables, and a free vegetable butchering service. Turn to the right and approach a coffee bar, then a snack bar, an ice cream shop, chocolate shop, and home goods specialty shop. Head up to the second floor and enter a brewery, winery, olive oil shop, bakery, cooking school, pizzeria, vegetable restaurant, fish market and restaurant, cheese shop, fresh pasta shop, butcher counter, salumi shop… I'm definitely forgetting a number of "shops" under this two-story department store sized restaurant and marketplace. But, hopefully you get my point if you haven't had the pleasure of visiting EATALY in NYC, Chicago, or any of its other European, Middle Eastern, or Asian locations.
Sean and I did a really quick reconnaissance after enjoying The Publican, and decided to return the next day for lunch.
We chose to dine at the Verduri restaurant, and started with their Bruschetta del Giorno.
And a couple glasses of rosé in EATALY glasses (available for purchase, of course).
Next came the Asparagi dish with a beautifully fried egg on top.
We followed that with Verdure Piastra, which was essentially a big serving of farro topped with roasted veggies.
And chef had to try their Green Pea Farrotto, as he'd just been talking about wanting to put a Farrotto on his own menu at Zeal.
The verdict? The Farrotto, which is essentially a risotto-style dish made with farro rather than rice, seemed to be rapidly prepared rather than slowly cooked the way this labor intensive dish is best made for a creamy, delectable experience. It seemed like pre-cooked farro was added to a pea broth rather than cooked in a broth over a long period of time. But, the flavor was good. The Verdure Piastra was a HUGE portion of food, yet priced the same as the Farrotto. This seemed off to us. And in the end, lunch cost $130 including tax and tip. That's a pretty expensive lunch!
The Publican, Chicago
- At August 4, 2014

- In appetizer, local foods, Restaurant Review, salad

The Publican is a meat-centric James Beard Award Winning establishment in the meatpacking district of Chicago. Not necessarily a great choice for vegetarians, but absolutely worth a metro ride out to this neighborhood that still clings to it's meatpacking past of warehouses, wide streets, and the stench of fish from a loading dock floor that maybe wasn't hosed down too well with bleach the day before.
This is a place that takes itself very seriously, and their attention to detail was impressive. The interior design, service, sourcing of product- every single thing was well done in what I could tell from our hour or so experience sitting in a booth that resembles a hog's pen, with a chest-high door shutting us in and all. Pig paintings decorate the walls, and they have their own butcher shop across the street: Publican Quality Meats. We definitely weren't in Boulder…
Like all great places nowadays, local farms are highlighted on their menu so you know exactly where that Little Gem Salad is coming from.
We started off with beverages, of course. (Sean and I can be a couple of one trick ponies)
I tried a cider, and he went for a flight of rosé. When the flight arrived, I asked our server to please place it down for a photo before unstacking the unpretentious wine glasses. For me, this presentation was another nice touch. The Publican has beer glasses to match every beer, but wine, on the other hand, not so much. Rocks glasses for wine, totally rocks.
Not being incredibly hungry, we went with a cheese board and a Werp Farms Little Gem Salad. We had just eaten a Werp Farms Little Gem Salad at the Green Zebra the night before, so we decided to compare…
You can't even compare the two salads. The Publican fills a plate with Little Gem lettuce, fennel, radish, buttermilk dressing, and fried pig ears (which we got on the side). Green Zebra, unfortunately, skimped out on the little gem lettuce and essentially mis-labeled their dish. But anyway, back to this amazing salad. I had never had pig ears and he insisted I try them, so we got a pile of thinly sliced, fried ears on the side rather than in the salad.
I didn't like them at all. Sean swore they were amazing, but the flavor wasn't something I really wanted to linger in my mouth. I'm just not too adventurous about eating animals, that's all.
But cheese, on the other hand… I could eat cheese all day. Especially when presented like this-
I really wasn't on my game this particular day after my first night in a new city, where we were up before dawn to fly at 6 am, and learned they have a 4am last call at some bars, so I'll admit to having no idea what cheeses and accouterments we enjoyed. But, it doesn't really matter because The Publican is a place that frequently features different cheeses, etc., so whatever you enjoy on your cheese board will be completely different from my mid-July experience. Just know it will be good. Really good. Amazing, I dare say. Go now, Go often.

A piece on cinema of 2014 that addressed racial issues in the year after such progress with films like "12 Years a Slave."
It's a mission so impossible that not even the U.S. Marines can do the job. No, this one will take — don't hold your breath — yes, One Man. The invention of the One Man Movie has been one of the handiest story devices to come along since the Fruit Cart. All I need do is quote two sentences from the trailer, and in your mind, you know exactly how the Deep-Voiced Trailer Guy sounds when he says them: "My daughter … is on a goodwill mission on that station. There's only One Man who can get her out … Snow!"
OK, now, hold onto your seat. The worried father speaking is — why, the president of the United States, of course. And where is the station his daughter, Emilie (Maggie Grace), is on a goodwill mission? I'll bet you can guess this one. It's a maximum security prison in orbit around the Earth, naturally. And what about One Man Snow (Guy Pearce)? He is a brilliant and versatile man of action, capable of all things, and yet the Secret Service is pursuing him because he has his hands on a briefcase and is suspected of spying. And what is in the briefcase? My best guess is: a MacGuffin.
I probably mention MacGuffins half a dozen times a year. I wonder if there's anyone left who doesn't know what one is. First defined by Alfred Hitchcock, the MacGuffin is whatever everyone in the movie is in a lather about. All we need to know is that Snow has it and the Secret Service wants it. It doesn't matter in the slightest what's in the briefcase; Snow doesn't know, so why should we?
Snow is an overwritten hero who talks like a sitcom character. Every line is a wisecrack, a gag, or what he fondly thinks of as a witticism. If you were on a mission to rescue the president's daughter from a space station commanded by a tattooed psychotic with glowing eyeballs (Vincent Regan), would you have time to think up one-liners? Of course you wouldn't. That's why this job can only be undertaken by … One Man Snow!
They say no one has ever escaped from Alcatraz by swimming. A prison in orbit is even more escape-proof. And there's another detail. Many of the space station's prisoners have been cryogenically frozen and are being held in suspended animation. A prisoner like that, he isn't going anywhere.
Why, you might ask, would the president's daughter take it into her head to go on a goodwill mission to an orbiting prison? She wants to be sure the deep-frozen prisoners aren't being mistreated. This woman is all heart. Unluckily, some of the most violent prisoners have taken over the prison, and with Emilie as their hostage, they're in a powerful position.
The generator of this story is the inexhaustible French producer Luc Besson ("The Fifth Element," "La Femme Nikita," "Ong-Bak" and dozens of others). He has skillfully assembled the story elements and left them in the hands of directors Stephen St. Leger and James Mather, who reason that with breakneck action and shiny special effects, we will have no complaints. It just about works. The idea of the president's daughter being held captive isn't blindingly original (it's an alarmingly dangerous occupation), but placing the story on a space station is a masterstroke, since we're about filled up to here with prison movies set on Earth.
I imagine the movie's intended audience will enjoy itself. I enjoyed myself in my own peculiar way. I like to ask myself how real people would feel in a situation like this. If I were sent on Snow's mission, I would be paralyzed by fright most of the time. But then I'm not One Man. I would be dead several times over by the ending of this film. But not to worry. I'm not gonna tell you they parachute to Earth and land in New York City. Nothing like that.

Council Moves for Redistricting "Plan B"
Kansas City, MO – Mayor Mark Funkhouser came out on the losing side of two significant council votes yesterday.
The first defeat for the mayor was the override of his veto of the council's renewing the appointment of the chairman of the Port Authority, which the mayor has said needs more of an "international flavor."
Then the mayor voted with the four Northland council members on a move to send a charter amendment to voters that could delay redrawing council district boundaries if the council deadlocks on the issue.
Councilman John Sharp pressed for the charter change. He says, "Every jurisdiction everywhere in the country redistricts after the census data is published."
Sharp's side prevailed. The council will ask a judge for permission to put the charter revision on the November ballot, for which the deadline has passed.

Advocates for Action Guest Post: Providing Hope and Opportunity
The prescription drug abuse epidemic has ravaged southern and eastern Kentucky. We have been hit harder than most, but our pain is now being felt by others as the scourge has spread across the country.
Drug abuse affects virtually every family in the country, including my own. I have two nephews struggling with substance abuse and a brother who has been recovering from addiction for the past 20 years. Their successes and setbacks provide motivation for me to help others in similar situations. I persevere armed with faith that God will guide our efforts and strengthen our resolve.
My heart breaks every time I meet a child who has not eaten at home in days because his or her caregivers are more concerned about feeding their drug habit than feeding their children. I want to scream when these children share stories about seeing parents inserting needles in their arms or describe their deplorable living conditions. Far too many kids have become innocent victims of abuse or neglect because of their parents' addiction.
Sometimes it is difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel; drug abuse is like a dark cloud obscuring the possibilities of a brighter future. Before we can turn things around, we must reach out to the next generation. We must show young people that no matter how dire their current circumstances may appear, there is a way out. The road may not be easy, but with the help of loving, caring adults and their peers, there is hope and opportunity for a better future.
These stories are repeated in every community across our great Nation. Many dedicated individuals and organizations are leading crusades against prescription drug abuse. But success comes slowly. That is why UNITE organized the first National Rx Drug Abuse Summit in 2012 (and will host a second Summit in 2013). Stakeholders discussed prescription drug problems in their communities and came together with a focus on ways to make an impact through holistic collaboration.
UNITE's efforts seek to impart hope: Hope for addicts seeking help. Hope for families confused and frustrated by a loved one's addiction. Hope for those in recovery that they can once again become productive members of society. And, most important, hope that our children realize there can be a better tomorrow.
Operation UNITE is a non-profit organization providing a holistic approach to substance abuse through law enforcement, treatment, and education initiatives.

The Reaves Utility Income Fund Increases Its Monthly Dividend 5.0% To $0.13 Per Share
The Reaves Utility Income Fund (NYSE MKT: UTG) is pleased to announce today an increase in its monthly dividends, to a rate of $0.13125 per common share per month. This is the 6 th increase since the Fund's inception in February 2004. The increased dividend rate represents an annualized yield of 6.30% based on the current market price. As of September 20, 2012, the Fund's market price was $24.99 per share and its net asset value was $25.87 per share.
Ronald J. Sorenson, the Fund's portfolio manager and Chief Investment Officer at Reaves Asset Management, the Fund's investment adviser, recently commented that the Fund's ability to increase its dividend is a function of the ability of the companies in which the Fund invests to increase their dividends. "The majority of companies in which we invest have the earnings visibility and growth potential to raise their dividends nearly every year. Ultimately, it is the demonstrated dividend growth ability of our investments that give us the confidence to raise our dividend."
The Fund has formally implemented the 19b-1 exemption received from the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2009. A portion of each distribution may be treated as paid from sources other than net income, including but not limited to short-term capital gain, long-term capital gain and return of capital. The final determination of the source of these distributions, including the percentage of qualified dividend income, will be made after the Fund's year end.
Not less than eighty percent of the Fund's assets will continue to be invested in the securities of utility companies. As a policy, the Fund continues to strive to provide a high level of after-tax income and total return consisting primarily of tax-advantaged dividend income and capital appreciation.The following dates apply to the upcoming dividends that have been declared:
|Ex-Distribution Date: October 17, 2012
|Record Date: October 19, 2012
|Payable Date: October 31, 2012
|Ex-Distribution Date: November 15, 2012

"well you said we were going to Freljord and I am the dragon that can speed up our travel by a lot so..." Eredar replied
Konnan raised his eyebrows. "Okay then. Do so, and I'll direct you."
((Will be off for teh night. Sorry, parents forcing me.))
(( hey guys sorry had swim meet ))
as soon as Eredar got past the last building he turned himself into a dragon when he was done he swiveled his head around and ask " well, get on "
Arya looked at Eredar change into a dragon, her eyes filled with wonder. She approached him and put her hand on the side of his neck. "Wow. What- what are you?" ((note: shes never even heard of a dragon before.))
((im not trying to slow us down, im just trying to rp in character. And in character, she would act this way.))
Konnan simply got on the dragon's back. "Impressive, I guess. You're probably as good a flyer as any dragon, but when we get up there, do NOT, under any circumstances, pull a Jayko. I've experienced that once before, and it wasn't a pleasant experience."
((Jayko is my character in another RP and a few short stories I wrote. A Jayko is a complicated aerial maneuver that causes people who have only been on dragons a couple times before to vomit uncontrollably. I'd go into detail, but I don't want you getting any ideas.))
" I am as I said before half dragon, and Konnan you insult me I reign over the sky I can fly much faster than a normal dragon, now get on Arya let's go." Eredar replied amused.
(( blegh why did my grammar suck so much that post :/))
((I never said he flew any slower, I just said that he was just as good as any other dragon (As in not worse) and that he shouldn't pull a Jayko, which, to be precise, is a quadruple loop-de-loop, followed immediately by a 10,000 foot power dive, pulling up in an extremely sharp maneuver, then barrel rolling for ten seconds, afterwards coming to an immediate stop after accelerating to the extreme speeds caused by barrelling towards the ground at a few hundred miles per hour, or quite a number of meters per second.))
Arya nodded, still in awe at the beauty of the dragon. As she got into position, he clothes ripped again. This time the damage was irrepairable. "Screw it." She ripped the thing off and threw it to the ground. "Why do humans' wear clothes anyway? Its not that cold and all they do is restrict their movement."
((im predicting a lot of awkward comments that will come from Arya at some point or another.))
Once both of them had gotten on Eredar said "hold on tight!" and jumped off the ground . Once he was off the ground he prepared to fly as fast as possible.
(( hehe jayko just so you know he can fly at about 4 times the speed of sound so he doesn't have to fly as fast as he can if you don't want him to ))
Arya was about to say something else when she was thrown backwards at the take off. She screamed in surprise but nothing could be heard over the wind. After flying for sometime, she loosened up her death grip on Eredar and looked around.
The sight was the most beautiful she'd ever seen and she was never more happy she left her people to see the world.
She wanted to let go and try to move along the dragon as they flew, but decided to test it first with her ability. She summoned a clone of herself and had it let go and stand up. The moment it got close to doing so, the wind snatched the clone and flung her off the dragon, soon reaching the end of it s range and appearing behind Arya looking quite pissed. The clone slapped Arya in the back of the head before dissapating.

Huntington Beach HotelsThere's one major draw for visitors to Huntington Beach and that's the surf. This is a real surfers' paradise, and from the massive waves which draw those board-loving enthusiasts to the Surf Hall of Fame, the whole place is geared around celebrating that most hi-octane of watersports. It's not just about the waves, though, with plenty of restaurants and shops on hand, as well as a pier for leisurely strolls and of course the perfect sands of the beach itself. Things to seeOne of the most iconic elements of the region is the Huntington Beach Pier which is well over 500 metres long and is, aside from being a treat for the eye thanks to its long concrete design which stretches out into the water and is modelled on the original 1914 version, a popular hang-out spot for the surfers who come here in their thousands. It's a great place to watch the waves, and the riders on them, as well as to grab a snack. Huntington State Beach itself is a place to kick back and relax on the sugar-white sands, surf, fish, or gather round a bonfire, but it's also – perhaps more surprisingly – home to a number of rare birds including the California least tern. For a change of scenery, Huntington Central Park is a huge, 350 acre park where you can picnic, camp, or just wander around the paved paths and play a spot of Frisbee. Hotels in Huntington BeachThis isn't just surf city, it's also one of the best and most popular beaches in the region, so it's no surprise that there's a whole range of hotels in Huntington Beach that you can choose from. If you want luxury, you can find it – plenty of hotels will offer the whole works, from multiple on-site swimming pools, service spas, on-site restaurants, and health clubs. It isn't just at the top-end where you can expect excellent service, however, with most hotels in the region offering complimentary WiFi, flat-screen televisions, and tea and coffee making facilities as standard. Where to stayIf you choose to stay in Huntington Beach you'll soon discover that surfing doesn't just dominate the appeal of the place, its laid-back attitude can be felt throughout the area, from the friendly service to the leisurely pace of life as you stroll from pier-front to Main Street and its many quirky and inviting shops. If you are a surf fan, you'll find plenty of surf apparel stores to choose from, but when you stroll along Main Street and hear the musicians performing or while away an hour in a café you'll feel right at home even if you never take to the waves. How to get to Huntington BeachThe most likely entry point for a visit to Huntington Beach is John Wayne Airport which is around 11 miles from the center of town and has a wide range of internal flights from throughout the United States, as well as a wide range of transfer options from taxis to complimentary shuttle services offered by a number of local hotels. Long Beach Airport is another option for internal flights, while the local Amtrak rail station links the area by rail to the wider California region and beyond.

I have one of the earlier Hayes Mag levers with the pressed pin, not the hex bolt using the Allen wrench. I know that that you have to use a hammer and a punch pin to remove it. I know that there is a removal tool but its costly and would be only used once which is not worth buying it. I am planning to use a vice on a work table, so how do I take the pin out using a table vice without damaging the lever body? Anybody used a vice to remove the stubborn pin?

Migrant groups celebrate International Domestic Workers' Day
Published on Jun 16, 2014 1:40 PM
SINGAPORE - Migrant worker group Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) celebrated International Domestic Workers' Day with an event on Sunday for maids here.
The afternoon of performances, games and singing was organised together with the Indonesian Family Network and Filipino Family Network at the YWCA Fort Canning Lodge, and attended by some 150 maids. There were also booths providing information on legal issues and breast cancer.
"All too many employers and employment agents subject domestic workers to verbal and psychological abuse to instill fear in them and to make them subservient. They also do so because of prejudices," said TWC2 president Russell Heng. "We all have a responsibility to help realise domestic workers' rights."
The International Domestic Workers' Day is June 16. It commemorates the passing of a convention and set of recommendations for the rights of domestic workers by the International Labour Organisation in 2011.

How to Make a Gift Card Personal
When you buy someone a gift card, there's usually a little story in your mind about the person you're buying for–maybe their favorite hobby or what's going on in their lives–that makes the gift card a great idea for them. But the gift card itself doesn't necessarily tell the recipient that story. That's why it's…Read More

text: Time Off Work As an employer, there are rules you must follow that allow your employees reasonable time off work for certain purposes. This factsheet gives details. It does not try to describe every detail, and it is not a full statement of the law. You can find more detailed information in the publications listed later in this factsheet. These rights apply in England, Scotland and Wales. You can find guidance on the similar rights which apply in Northern Ireland in a series of Northern Ireland Small Firms Factsheets, which you can order by phoning Tel 02890 257 678. Do these regulations apply to my business? The regulations apply to all businesses, no matter how many workers they have. When must I allow time off? You must normally allow your employees time off to carry out public duties as a Justice of the Peace or a member of: o a local authority o a police authority o a statutory tribunal o a prison visitors board or a prison visiting committee (in Scotland) o a National Health Service (NHS) Trust o a health authority, a special health authority or a primary care trust (in England and Wales), or a health board (in Scotland) o the managing or governing body of an educational establishment maintained by either a local education authority or a further or higher education corporation (in England and Wales ) o a school council or board, the management board of a self- governing school, a college of further of education, or the governing body of a central institution or a designated institution (in Scotland) o the General Teaching Council for England and Wales o the Environment Agency or the Scottish Environment Protection Agency o the service authority for the National Criminal Intelligence Service or the National Crime Squad or o the Scottish water and sewerage authorities and water industry consultative committees.

Certain employees aged 18 have the right to complete study or training they have already started. The study or training can be in the workplace, at college, with another employer or a training provider, or elsewhere. How much time off must I allow? You have to allow only as much time off as is reasonable. What is reasonable will depend on all the circumstances. There are no set rules about this. You will need to consider the size and resources of your business the likely effect of the employees'absence the amount of time off needed for the stated purpose and the amount of time off already allowed. In some cases it might be reasonable to refuse time off altogether (although you cannot refuse time off to deal with an emergency).

In case of time off for antenatal care, you must allow the woman enough time off to keep the appointment, This includes the travelling and waiting time as well as the time taken up by the appointment. If an employee needs time off to deal with an emergency involving a dependant, they are entitled to take a reasonable amount of time to deal with the problem and put any other necessary arrangements in place. What time is reasonable will depend on the type of emergency. For maternity leave, see the separate factsheet on maternity rights. For parental leave, see 'Where can I get further information' at the end of this factsheet. Must time off be with pay? Yes, you must pay your employee unless the time off is for carrying out public duties taking part in activities of an independent, recognised trade union of which the employee is a member dealing with an emergency involving a dependant. parental leave or maternity leave (special arrangements apply - see the separate factsheet on maternity rights). Is there anyone who is not covered by these rules? Yes, the rules do not cover self-employed people, independent contractors and some trainees and certain other groups, including some working at sea and some public servants and members of the police service and armed forces.

Slim fitting parka with puffer lining from Scotch and Soda. Originally purchased for $300+. The jacket is great for the winter months. Super warm due to the lining. It also has a hood with a wire in the brim which is great for windy days (it gives it some shape and keeps it stiff). Light wear and in amazing shape. No rips, tears or anything of that nature. Please add $12 to price for USPS Priority Mail shipping (2-3 business days).

My YES Prep student service group recently volunteered at ESCAPE, and I was impressed for many reasons. Sandi Mercado, the executive assistant, was extremely organized. As soon as our students showed up, she had kid friendly tasks for them to complete. Additionally, she treated our students with the utmost respect. Our students were able to decorate banners for the marathon group running on behalf of learntoparent.org. Through the extremely well planned service project, students were able to learn about the importance of ESCAPE. As a teacher, I would be excited to have our students volunteer here again.
