Restaurant review: Hong Kong Inn in Ventura
Doors open again at landmark restaurant
Downtown Ventura's Hong Kong Inn, closed since the autumn of 2012, is back in business with new management, a full menu and bountiful portions.
The landmark restaurant, which opened in 1964, had been owned and operated by the Kwan family, until brothers James and Thomas Kwan decided to retire. Taking over the reins is Ken To Chen, who also operates Dragon Palace in Oxnard's Seabridge Marina Center.
We stopped by for lunch, and even after having checked out the menu online, we still found ourselves hemming and hawing over which dishes to try. As there were a few of us we decided to order moo shu pork ($10.95) as an appetizer, and it was a hearty four rolls with good flavor, though the wraps were a tad dry.
Location: 435 E. Thompson Blvd., Ventura. 648-3161; hongkonginn.com.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 10:30 Fridays and Saturdays; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays; and 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.
Impressions: Large dining space, plus bar and entertainment areas; prompt and friendly service; wide-ranging menu focused on Chinese dishes but with Thai and a few other selections as well.
What's hot: Cantonese pan-fried noodles, beef with snow peas, pad thai with shrimp.
But the best was yet to come, with our selected entrees exceeding our expectations. I went for the pad thai with shrimp ($10.95), expecting a modest plate of food, but it turned out to be a heaping platter of noodles enticingly lapped with lots of sauce, generous sprinklings of peanuts and lots of shrimp. It was beyond delicious. When I finally finished the leftovers at home, it was good to the last noodle.
The beef with snow peas ($10.95), ordered when another dish was not available, was a happy combination of tender beef and bright green snow peas, with rice. Cantonese pan-fried noodles ($14.95) filled another large plate with the crisped noodles topped with shrimp, beef, chicken and vegetables.
For the frugal or the less hungry, Hong Kong Inn offers lunch specials from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; prices range from $7.50 to $8.50. The orange chicken from the latter list was perfectly cooked and crunchy with outstanding flavor. With it came a cup of sweet and sour soup, nice and spicy but a bit tepid in temperature, plus egg roll and fried rice.
We barely touched the abundant choices on the menu. Appetizers featured all the old-time favorites, plus onion rings, shrimp tempura, chicken katsu and roast duck. Soup can be ordered by cup for $2.25, or by bowl at $7.50 to $9.95, the latter a seafood soup. There are various chicken salads and a shrimp version.
The Chef's Special section stands out in the five-page menu, beginning with lobster Cantonese-style seafood at market price, but including crispy walnut shrimp, sesame beef, a sizzling plate with scallops and beef and our choice, the Cantonese pan-fried noodles.
As for the rest of the menu, there are 19 chicken choices, including Mongolian chicken, teriyaki chicken and Princess chicken; nine pork dishes, among them twice-cooked pork, Szechwan spicy pork and pork with mushrooms; nine beef options and four egg foo young variations. And there are lots of shrimp dishes among the 19 seafood options.
The Taste of Thailand section offers six dishes, including pad thai, pad see-ew and ping fish and chili. Groups of lo mein, fried rice, vegetable dishes, chop suey and six Triple D'Lites, featuring three meat or fish options on one plate, wrap up the main menu listings.
The lunch special dishes are gleaned from the main menu and there's a Kids' Menu for the under-12 set at $7.50. It comes with fried rice and egg roll plus a main item choice.
I had hoped for Thai iced coffee, listed on the menu, but it was unavailable at the time.
Still, Hong Kong Inn showed us a reasonably priced menu with plentiful food and a handful of dishes we really enjoyed.

Are you seeing the error "Cannot play media. You do not have the correct version of the flash player. Download the correct version" on the BBC web site or on YouTube "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player"?
I have been on my Dell Mini; I suspect the problem was the upgrade route I took from XP-Home -> IE8 Beta ->XP Prof meant the registry was a mess. Repeated re-installation of Flash and Shockwave had no effect.
After much fiddling I fixed it by downgrading to IE7, running the Abode Uninstaller, the installing Flash and upgrading to IE8 again. However I suspect I did not need the IE downgrade first, but I had done this previously.
Hope this saves yo some time.

Roxul vs Guardian Insulation?
I'm about to insulate my whole house and have to decide between using Guardian brand or Roxul brand insulation. Please share your experiences with each and help me choose. I have to decide Friday. Thanks!
Do you have a source for either locally?
Yes I can get either locally.
Roxul is stone wool that isn't faced which is my one concern. I plan to use a vapor barrier on external walls but had hoped to use Kraft faced insulation then a vapor barrier before drywall. Perhaps this is just my lack of knowledge ....is it just as good to used the roxul stone wool without a facing and just put plastic vapor barrior over it?
Which will give better insulation ...the stone wool or fiberglass? Roxul claims an R-23 and the guardian is r-19 for 2 x 6 channels.
I would go with the Roxul since it is a better product.
I would just go with the Roxul and then apply a poly vapor barrier. If you are really that concerned about a vapor barrier, you could get a thicker (more mils) vapor barrier that will more resistant to holes and tears during construction.
I went with the Roxul r-23 for 2 x 6 exterior walls. It installs so easy and stays where you shove it. It fits between the joists snuggly. I recommend it!

A rat for every day of the month
I, Dr. Fraud, sit and watch my twitching patient. This one has always been a tricky person to get through to. Last week he had told me that he was certain that frogs were following him everywhere, so now I sit here wondering what he has been stalked by now.
"Jonathan?" I say in my professional, silky voice. "What has been bothering you?"
Jonathan jerks his head in my direction and his eyebrow twitches uncomfortably. "I see them doc."
"See what, Jonathan?"
"The rats."
Silence follows his confession and I draw in my breathe, remember, he is only here for an hour. "The rats?"
"Yes doc," he looks around the room, as if suspecting me of holding him against his will in a place were the "rats" could get him.
I nod and start writing down what I have acknowleged today and let Jonathan continue.
"They are everywhere, multiplying as the days continue! One of them talked to me last night, by that time there were already five of them together."
"A rat talked to you?"
"How did that make you feel, knowing that a rat was talking to you?"
"What do you expect doc? I nearly thought I was going bonkers, but then I thought, hey, at least frogs aren't stalking me anymore so it is perfectly fine for rats to talk."
He says this all in one breathe and I watch him regain his watchful eye over my office.
"Okay," I say quietly. "What did these rats say to you?"
"Not these rats, the ONE rat. The Mufasa of the pack, the big man, the Godfather, the--"
"Yes, yes," I say. "The leader rat."
Jonathan nods multiple times at a ridiculous speed and he nervously scratches his arm. "Yes, the leader, leader..."
"Yes, what did he say?"
"Scary," Jonathan muttered and stared at me. "Scary things."
"The world will be taken over by rats."
I write on my clipboard and suddenly stop as Jonathan says in a very strange, low, husky voice. "For every day of the month there will be a rat-- a rat for every day of the month. Scary."
I nod and listen to the timer go off.
"Okay Jonathan, I will see you again next week."
"Please warn all about the rats!"
"Okay Jonathan, I will."
With a silent click, the door to my office closes and I prepare myself for the next patient.

You do know that torque is the actual gain that is felt, right? Horsepower is the result of a calculation: Horsepower= (Torque * RPM)/5252 Saying that you felt "bull**** torque" is like saying that you had sex with a girl and just felt bull**** vagina.

Hello.... I can understand your concern , a woman can have stomach pain for so many reasons less commonly in pregnancy.... Since pregnancy test is negative , we should look into other causes causing stomach pain. With Polycysic ovarian disease pregnancy is difficult... Even gastritis can cause abdominal pain.....

Self-reported by organization
We educated 520 adults last year through our adult literacy program and are educating another 600 this year. Our literacy program brings new readers up to a fourth grade reading level and teaches numeracy and other life skills. We are in the process of expanding Makunda Christian Leprosy and General Hospital's labor ward. From a single room that housed only six beds, we are building an expansion that will house 60 beds, 10 labor tables, and will be closely connected to surgical facilities for emergencies. Our estimated completion date is April 2016; the total cost of this project is only $120,000! We provided $31,000 in assistance for Nepal flood victims this past summer! Our partners, the Emanual Hospital Association, and Leprosy Mission Nepal, worked on the ground, treating the injured and rebuilding devastated areas. We are int the process of serving 17,000 children through our Children's Festivals, at only $2/child! Children's Festivals occur during the summer holidays and provide values-based education through materials that are uniquely indigenous, for children who may not have any access to schools.

Funding Needs
Our partner, Makunda Christian Leprosy and General Hospital, needs to expand their labor ward. This has been perviously cost-prohibitive, but overcrowding is so extreme that a new labor ward needs to be urgently constructed. The proposed capital expansion is estimated at $120,000. Makunda hospital serves patients who cannot afford to hospitalized deliveries due to the great expense. Their purpose is to serve the poor; a consultation fee is a mere 20 Rs. ($0.40). Delivering a baby costs 3,000 Rs. ($75—that's two tanks of gas) and a Caesarean costs 10,000 Rs. ($250—a couple of trips to the grocery store). Makunda also provides pro bono care to the poorest patients, including food and lodging. Help us improve tribal and refugee maternal and infant care, while preventing pregnancy related fatalities. Reaching 17,000 children annually through Children's Festivals . At $2/child (including teacher training, curriculum construction and printing), the cost is nominal and the potential great. Sponsors are needed for this $34,000 program. Printing adult literacy materials eight languages. 6,000 students are enrolled in our second literacy class a new tribe; each level of workbooks costs $3,000 to produce. We need $15,000 in total to print all literacy materials to enable this tribe to read and write their own names, empower the community.

Wal King talks to Ali Moore
Engineering and construction giant Leighton Holdings has forecast better times ahead, after announcing a 56 per cent profit fall for the half. The result followed heavy write-downs of assets, but the company has $37 billion of work in hand and CEO Wal King says there's too much pessimism about the state of the economy.
TranscriptALI MOORE, PRESENTER: Engineering and construction giant Leighton Holdings has forecast better times ahead, after announcing a 56 per cent profit fall for the half.
The $111 million result followed heavy write-downs of assets, including toll road operators and a mining contractor.
But the company has $37 billion of work in hand and CEO Wal King says there's too much pessimism about the state of the economy.
I spoke to Wall King earlier this evening.
Wal King, a 56 per cent fall in earnings with big pre-tax write-downs, and your stock goes up 6 per cent. Is the worst behind you?
WAL KING, CEO, LEIGHTON HOLDINGS: Well, I think you've got to look at the underlying performance of the company. Whilst the after-tax position is down it's due mainly... absolutely and completely due to impairment of assets.
And in this volatile world in which we live assets are a big issue. So, you really have to look through to the operating performance of the company, the uncompleted work, and the cash flow and all of those are strong.
We have an exceptional high level of work in hand. So at the end of the day cash flow enables you to pay dividends to enhance shareholder value.
ALI MOORE: You said today the major earthquakes have happened?
WAL KING: Well, I believe so. I mean, I think all the experts next year will be able to look back and say that the bottom was the 10th of August 2009.
There's not too much people predicting the bottom at the moment.
ALI MOORE: And the 10th of August?
ALI MOORE: The 10th of August's my birthday. So if you look back, I mean, I went to Davos in 2007, and all the experts there were wrong. In 2008 they were wrong.
And they've all been there this year and hopefully they'll be right. I think what we've seen is the major earthquake has happened and what we are now suffering is aftershocks.
And those aftershocks will continue through this year, I believe, but my belief is we're sort of at the bottom. But that doesn't mean that there'll be more bad news tomorrow.
There could be more bad news tomorrow, but followed a week later by good news, and you see that volatility in the stock market as a reflection of the fact that actually no one does no.
So, one day people are happy, the next day people are sad. The major earthquake, in my view, has happened, and we will travel along a rocky bottom with aftershocks and the world will recover.
And it will be a different place; it's been a different place after every recovery and maybe it should be.
ALI MOORE: What makes you relatively optimistic about post-August - and I take your point that no one really knows what is going to happen.
But you talked today about the contradictions and the anomalies in the market; the fact that some contracts are not going ahead, others are.
Big buildings or property deals can't get financing, small homes can, it seems a very, in many ways, confused picture.
WAL KING: Well, I think the whole world has got a very confusing outlook and that confusing outlook is what I call anomalies or contradictions.
In the end, means that there is no clear direction, and if there was a clear direction you would see the stock market either going down or up.
ALI MOORE: But what makes you confident?
WAL KING: Well, you know, I'm an optimistic person and you can see we are moving through change, and change has happened.
We've had the earthquake. If there is another substantial earthquake, which I very much doubt, in the financial world, I mean, we're in for a sad time.
But the governments around the world, in particular the Federal Government in Australia, have taken positive action and that they're giving the stimulus package, if you like, a shot in the arm; another shot in the arm.
And eventually the economies will respond to these shots that have been put. And if you see in the bulk commodities market there are tentative signs that shipping rates are recovering and shipping volumes are recovering.
So, I think in all of this the key issue is to keep a proper perspective on where you are and where you're going.
And that's difficult sometimes if you're completely beat up and lying in the gutter to say, 'well, tomorrow's going to be a better day'. But the world will move on and it will move on and it'll emerge the other side of this in a somewhat different shape.
ALI MOORE: If we can look at the Government's second stimulus package, a large part of that is on infrastructure spending, schools and homes and the like. Do you think that'll have the desired impact in the desired time frame?
WAL KING: Well, it certainly... you've got to congratulate the Government for taking positive leadership.
The question of how quickly can it be put into the field and infrastructure projects are notoriously difficult to get regulatory approval, get engineering approvals and so on and so forth.
And it's going to, at state level not Federal level, going to require very positive action. And that can happen if leadership is there.
And I would also congratulate the Queensland Government. The Queensland Government have provided great leadership in taking projects into the field, cutting through the red tape.
But certain other parts of Australia have shown lack of leadership in taking projects forward.
ALI MOORE: You've given numerous examples in the past of a disconnect, if you like between the will and what happens on the ground.
I mean, do you think there are parts of regulatory Australia that don't understand the urgency?
WAL KING: Well, they probably don't want to understand; it's not in their interests or their perceived interest to do it.
But I mean, you can take regional differences in Queensland, where there is strong leadership, and that strong in fact motivates and directs the bureaucratic organisation to achieve ends.
ALI MOORE: And where would you compare that to?
WAL KING: Well, I wouldn't want to comment too much. I mean I think people pretty much...
ALI MOORE: New South Wales?
WAL KING: Well, New South Wales is a problem, isn't it?
ALI MOORE: Wal King, let's hope that your birthday does mark the turnaround, if not earlier. Thank you very much for joining us.
WAL KING: Thank you.

Wow- I had no idea there were 27K members in AHS. What activities to
members participate in most? I kind of feel like I must be missing
something- since the listserv and recieving the magazine,(oh and the seed
exchange some years), and the only things I've ever participated in. Are
there other activities available for those of us not living in the DC area?

Subject: [CHAT] Re: Re: We are so sorry to announce ......
"due to low participation"
Thanks for clarifying that Sue. I was having a tough time understanding
what you meant by "low participation". It seemed that every time we
'participated' too much the list crashed - for as much as 2 weeks. Then
when participation slowed in Dec-Jan because of the exodus, 'low
participation' became the problem. This left me confused, a sort of
Catch-22, damned if you do and damned if you don't, participate.
So now we know it wasn't our own participation that did us in - it was
lack of interest on the part of other AHS members. Four tenths of one
percent participation within an organization does sound pretty tiny -
and it's less than that since many of the subscribers were not AHS
Understanding the situation, however, doesn't make the dumpee feel any
better. AHS opened this opportunity to us and embraced this new
communications tool. But they didn't participate. The low participation
was on the part of AHS. Yes, you advertised it in your mag, but AHS
never lead the way, never provided any structure by joining in. On the
AHS-MG list, which I assume you are dumping as well, we occasionally
received interesting news about newly released books from a hort book
publisher. AHS could have done something like that. Or sent a weekly
bulletin updating activities at River Farm. Or sent us interesting links
that we could discuss - just as people would meet for a book club. Lots
of ideas.
So maybe someday AHS will give it another shot. They may once again see
the need for a gardening forum where people can easily share ideas and
ask questions. They may see the value in this communication tool and
attempt to use it to better effect. Unfortunately, most of us will be
busy elsewhere.

Solace and Grief
Solace Morgan was born a vampire. Raised in foster care, she has always tried to keep her abilities secret, until an eerie encounter with a faceless man prompts her to run away. Finding others with similar gifts, Solace soon becomes caught up in a strange, more vibrant world than she ever knew existed. But when the mysterious Professor Lukin takes an interest in her friends, Solace is forced to start asking questions of her own. What happened to her parents? Who is Sharpsoft? And since when has there been a medieval dungeon under Hyde Park?
A young adult urban fantasy novel, now available at most Australian bookshops and elsewhere through the power that is Internet. You can view the book trailer here. For those with a Kindle, Solace & Grief is now available in ebook format here.
What the reviews are saying:
'Melbourne author Foz Meadows has written a well-plotted novel…Solace is such an appealing character as she learns to accept who she is. It's a little Scooby-Doo, a little bit Buffy and a lot of fun for readers 15 and up.' – The Sunday Age
'…a clever and funny supernatural romp, with a chilling underside to it…a smart and appealing read for the Vampire Academy crowd.' – Bookseller + Publisher
'This is a vampire novel, and I think it'll appeal to paranormal romance fans, but also to people who don't like the whole vampire trend. It's just different enough to make it refreshing but also appeal to the people who already love books like these.' – Steph Bowe, Hey! Teenager of the Year
'This one really does have it all…Meadows' language is descriptive and evocative and her imagination seemingly limitless. Through her well-crafted narrative she creates a sense of menace and mystery that is threaded through even the more light-hearted scenes. Her characterisation, too, is excellent. Foz Meadows is a name to watch.' – Jenny Mounfield, Buzz Words
'This is an absolute ripper of a debut from a young Melbourne writer. It's in the realm of young adult urban fantasy, recommended for 15 years plus, but deserves to win a much broader audience.' – The Sun Herald
[…] Solace and Grief […]
Just letting you know I have read your book and there will be a review of it coming up the April issue of the webzine, The Specusphere. Ill let you know when the review is posted and the link is live – won't be for a few weeks.
BTW – loved the book!
Best wishes
Astrid Cooper.
Hi Foz,
I just caught the last few minutes of a nine news article about tunnels and a lake under Hyde Park. I thought this was really interesting, having recently finished Solace and Grief.
So, my question is was this the inspiration behind the dungeon underneath Hyde Park? Or is it just a creepy coincidence?
Kinokuniya Capsicum Girl

hey foz,
i loved reading solace and grief, though it has been a little while as i read it when it first came out and since then i have been wait for the 2nd one to come out…i was just wonding if you have a release date or a rough date on which it will be released, i look forwards to reading it when it hits the shelves

I just finished reading Solace & Grief which was Amazing. I kinda feel out of date because the second book's already out and I MUST get it 'cause I really enjoyed the first book. I was just wondering if you could give me some tips on writing because I write my own stories and I would also like to publish one day, once I'm done with school and all.
I'm looking forward to read The Key to Starveldt =D and I hope Solace and Glide get together. I love his character eventhough he betrayed Solace, not that I don't love the others. I do, but Glide's my favourite.
Thanks Foz, this advice really helps and I'll keep it in mind. =)
can you say When will the third book will roughly come out?! I'm going to DIE if you don't answer!
Just finished Key to Starveldt (devoured it in one afternoon because it's just *so good!*) and I absloutely love what you've done with the characters. Very eagerly awaiting the next book 🙂 Oh, and I love that my faith in Aussie writers – especially YA – has been restored. It was incredibly refreshing, if a little jarring at first, to read a paranormal book set in Sydney, of all places, where I could recognise places and names and really get carried away with the realism of it all, (insofar as you can in such a story) rather than a non-descript country town in america as they so often are.
Any word on book three, Foz? I've been dying for it since TKTS, and recently I got my sister to read the series (not an easy task, she's 12 and cat obsessessed and refuses to read anything with a human protagonist. I managed to sway her with Duchess and Manx) and after a slight period of grief following the finale, she was very impatient for the next book. I can not wait for the third book, please hurry!

The zwartbles down the road are an attractive lot, although at a quick glance it's hard to tell one from the other because each has the white facial blaze, white socks and white tipped tail that their pedigree demands. Their fleeces are dark brown to black and so dense one longs to bury one's fingers in the thick layer of wool.
Although robust, they are slender of build, with narrow, rather intelligent-looking faces and a friendly personality. At the moment the ewes, some of whom are first-time mothers, are accompanied by newly arrived lambs. Easy lambers, they have happily produced twins and triplets … and one huge surprise.
With his newborn lambs safely settled in individual pens with their mothers, their owner went on to his next job. A short while later, a visit by another member of the family found more lambs in one pen than there should have been. Hasty phone calls were made to confirm just how many lambs should be with each ewe; somehow one had managed to get out of its own pen, abandoning mother and siblings, and got into an adjoining pen. But a quick check made it apparent that those who should have had two lambs still had two, and those who should have had three still had three … all, that is, except for one mother of triplets who, despite a thorough examination after birthing, had gone on, to everyone's utter astonishment, and produced a fourth after everyone had left.
Now, although most of the lambs are out and about, to ensure that all of them will be fed properly (for ewes have only two teats and suckling lambs are not noted for their manners), two of the quads and some of the triplets are being fed at their owner's home. With so many mouths to feed, it's hurray for the invention of semi-automatic warm-milk feeding devices, which can replace the use of hand held bottles meaning more time for owners and more natural feeding patterns for lambs.

Welcome to our website!
How can you improve your profit and increase competitiveness by reducing costs?
The current market asks for a new approach regarding cost management - not to find easy short term fixes and misguided cost cutting but to uncover a fully more efficient and low cost way of delivering value to customers.
Companies that achieve this can create a environment for a higher level of performance to take them through the immediate economic constraints and give them a platform for short term growth through increasing market share and long term growth as demand rises in the future.
How we can help you:
Focus on "who is your ideal client": by re-examining the goods, services and propositions that are offered. Through checking how existing goods and services meet changing customer requirements there is the opportunity to re-designing those offerings so that they cost less to produce and deliver
Find out what you need to change in your organization and delivery chain: by looking at new, lower cost operating and delivery models. This can be achieved by considering channels to market, new distribution and production partners, and new internal operating model, which focus on the goods and services you know your customers want
Maximize internal efficiency: by stopping any activity that does not add value: companies should uncover inefficient end to end delivery processes right across the supply chain; drive out waste and the cost of failure, increase the use of the capacity of all resources; and seek new value by exploring options for services and components.
To find out more about rebuilding business performance through effective cost management, please contact us now.

Hi, I am Sherry Young, your ISN CFS/Fibromyalgia Guide and an ISN Story Editor.
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in January 2002 after a lengthy struggle between mind and body. I did not have time to be sick, but finally I could not ignore my body any longer. I had to leave a job I loved as it was physically more than I could handle. I am in the process of filing for disability. My husband and children are very supportive and always willing to pitch in to do what is needed.
I enjoy reading, writing, and surfing the net for new and useful information. I have recently taken up cross stitching, and it has only taken me five days to get 100 stitches done!
I became involved with ISN early in my battle when I was struggling for answers. I decided to volunteer as a Story Editor because it is something I enjoy doing and I feel like I am contributing to something worthwhile. The Fibromyalgia Guide just fell into place sometime after that.
My personal story is online at Sherry: Fibromyalgia, Hypothyroidism and Raynaud's

I walked to the hospital cafeteria with Selena. I paid for 2 bottles of water and gave one to her, clasping mine between my supple hands. She mumbled a quick thanks. We started talking about how fast Taylor was recovering, he was nearly ready to go home now. But something stopped us. 3 hooded boys walked in. I recognized them. The boys that beat up Taylor. And linked arms with them was Rose. Rose was our friend once, she was one of us. But then she left us for the popular group, shouting at us and calling us retarded nobodies who needed to get a life. And now look at where she was. Her dyed bright blonde curls fell below her shoulders, and her luminous pink belly top stuck out like a sore thumb. Her super short mini skirt was, well, super short. Heaven forbid her leaning over. I stood up, ready to throw them all a punch. As I stormed over to her, Selena jumped up and held me back.
"You saw what they did to Taylor. Right?" She whispered angrily into my ear. Her teeth gritted together. She wanted to kick the hell out of them, too. I pulled and shook my way out of Selena's tight grip, and went and sat down at our table. I leaned down, squeezing my head, using all my will to restrain myself. As Rose and the boys took a table at the front of the cafe, near the door, Scarlett walked in. She immediately spotted them. Her eyes widened in anger, and she ran toward them. She recognized Rose, and I guess she knows who the boys are. She punched and kicked all four of them uncontrollably, bringing them all to the floor. Her eyes glinted in craziness. Her dark black hair was now swept across her pale face. Me and Selena ran over there and pulled her off of them. Anger was painted on the boys faces. I picked Scarlett up off the floor and we fled back to Taylor's ward. Between my teeth I heavily muttered to her,
"Thank you, I so nearly did that myself." She smiled her devil smile. I quickly glanced behind me before we whipped into the room. They weren't far behind us.
I sat down in the room.
"Crap. They're here," I said to the guys quietly. Jake's head snapped round. He rose from his chair and sternly marched over to them.
"You. You leave my friends alone." He growled.
"Oh, no." Rose smiled. I jumped from my seat and stood beside Jake. Roxy and Selena soon followed. "I wanted to be friends again." She laughed without humor.

A report released by ATB Financial Wednesday predicts a modest improvement in Alberta's economy in 2017.
The ATB Alberta Economic Outlook suggested several factors in particular — higher oil prices, the approval of two pipeline projects and U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to expedite the Keystone XL pipeline — have created optimism in the energy sector.
Still, the recovery is expected to be slow, with GDP growing by 2.2 per cent this year, due mostly to oil price improvements.
"The petroleum sector has stabilized and is entering 2017 in reasonably good shape," said Todd Hirsch, ATB's chief economist.
"Oil prices are forecast to remain in the range of US$50 – US$60 for the WTI benchmark price. But growth in energy sector investment is expected to be soft," Hirsch said.
The report predicts delayed job growth and high employment until the second half of 2017. That will keep Alberta's unemployment rate close to eight or nine per cent until later in the year when a gradual improvement is expected.
READ MORE: Oil will help Alberta's economy lead Canada iin 2017. But that won't translate into more jobs
Growth areas in the province include agriculture, agri-food and tourism. Wheat and canola receipts should be stable, and tourism could see another record-setting year thanks to the relatively weak Canadian dollar, an influx of visitors from Asia and Canada's 150th celebrations.
Construction spending will slow, especially for commercial projects.
ATB predicts positive population growth despite net inter-provincial out-migration.
READ MORE: Numbers show Alberta economy improving, but no change to $10B deficit
"The projected growth in our GDP represents an end to the 2015-16 recession — but it ushers in an era of modest growth," Hirsch said. "It will stand in contrast to the high-growth period of 2010-14 when the economy expanded by four to five per cent annually."
The report predicts GDP growth of 2.3 per cent in 2018.

Description :
Breakfast at the Hotel.
Full day sightseeing tour of Kathmandu City, Swayambhunath and Patan City
Kathmandu City,Durbar Square :
Kathmandu Durbar Square in the heart of old Kathmandu city in Basantapur never fails to impress first time visitors with its intricate wood carvings and rich history. Surrounded by concrete buildings, the complex is an oasis in a fast developing, chaotic modern city. Once the residence of Nepal's Royal family, all coronation ceremonies were held here. The palace is an amalgamation of eastern and western architecture with additions by Rana and Shah Rulers over the centuries. An unbelievable 50 temples lie within the vicinity including the temple of the titular deity, Taleju Bhawani. The Durbar is divided into two courtyards, the outer Kasthamandap, Kumari Ghar, and Shiva-Parvati Temple, and the inner section consisting of Hanuman Dhoka and the main palace. Some floors have been converted to museums dedicated to three generations of Shah kings. Most parts of the palace premises are open to tourists throughout the week.
Some important monuments to see in this area are:
The Taleju Temple is the tallest of all structures, built by King Mahendra Malla in 1549 AD. This temple is open to the public for one day each year during the Dashain festival.
The Jagannath Temple, built in the 16th century is known for the fascinating erotic figures carved on the wooden struts.
The Kal Bhairav, one of the largest 17th century stone statues in Kathmandu, representing the terrifying aspect of Lord Shiva.
Swet-Bhairav – the temple is open to the public once in year during Indra Jatra Festival.
The 17th century Kumari Temple (the temple of Living Goddess) is an example of highly developed Nepali craftmanship.
Kaandasthamp, from which Kathmandu derives its name, is said to have been built from the timber of a single tree.N autalle Durbar (the nine storied palace)
Swoyambhunath :
Swoyambhu literally means 'Self-Existent One.' Swoyambhunath is believed to have been established more than 2,500 years ago. According to translations from an inscription dating back to 460 A.D., it was built by King Manadeva and by the 13th century, Swoyambhunath had developed into an important center of Buddhism.
Legend has it that Swoyambhu was born out of a lotus flower that bloomed in the middle of the lake which the Kathmandu valley once was. The largest image of the Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal was recently built on the western boundary of Swoyambhu. Behind the hilltop is a temple dedicated to Manjusri or Saraswati – the Goddess of learning. Chaityas, statues and shrines of Buddhist and Hindu deities fill the stupa complex. The base of the hill is almost entirely surrounded by prayer wheels that were recently installed. Devotees can be seen circumambulating the stupa at all times.
The stupa sits atop the hill and the exceedingly steep stone steps leading up to the shrine is quite a challenge. However there is also a road going up almost to the top and you can drive up. A large numbers of Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swoyambhunath throughout the day. Swoyambhu is perhaps the best place to observe religious harmony in Nepal.
Some important monuments to see in this area:
The huge gold plated Vajra 'thunderbolt' set in the east side of the stupa.
Buddha statue on the west side of Swoyambhu.
The sleeping Buddha.
The temple dedicated to Harati, the goddess of all children. It is said that she was an ogress before Lord Buddha converted her to be the caretaker of all children.
The Dewa Dharma Monastery, noted for a bronze icon of Buddha and traditional Tibetan paintings.
Patan City, Patan Durbar Square:
Patan Durbar Square complex is perhaps the most photographed of the three durbar squares. Located in the heart of Patan city, this was once the palace of the kings of Patan. The square is a display of Newari architecture that had reached its pinnacle during the reign of Malla kings who were great builders and patrons of the arts. The palace has three main courtyards: the central and the oldest is Mul Chowk. To the west of the complex are a dozen free standing temples of various sizes and built in different styles. A masterpiece in stone, the KrishnaTemple,BhimsenTemple, the Golden Temple of Hiranya Varna Mahavira and Sundari Chowk mark the artistic brilliance of the Newar craftsment of that era. The Sundari Chowk with the sunken bath of Tusha Hiti, showcases exquisite woodcarvings, stone and metal sculpture. Like the other palaces,Patan Durbar Squarealso houses a temple dedicated to Taleju Bhawani.
Some important monuments to see in this area are:
The Golden Gate and golden windows of the old palace
The famous Krishna Temple with 21 golden pinnacles.
The bath with many carvings in stone at Sundari Chowk.
The Taleju Temple.
The temple of Bhimsen with a magnificient golden balcony overlooking the square.
Char-Narayan temple, which is among the finest examples of woodcarvings.
Chyasi Dega
Manga Hiti
