#Whisper# (Means to chat with another player)
5 A.M. at the Wandering Sword. It was still dark outside without a single soul about and the lights of the inn outlined the windows of the main hall in the darkness.
Adamas and Grant along with the innkeeper were sitting down at the table eating a congratulatory breakfast in the main hall. As soon as Grant arrived he offered to pay for breakfast. When they ordered more than 10 dishes for breakfast the inn-keeper came by and asked them what the occasion was. When Grant told her that Adamas had just passed "Hell's Ground" twice in a row she busted out some of her special grape juice and gave some to Adamas.
"It's on the house", she said as she gestured for Adamas to drink with no reserve.
Adamas frowned at his cup unsure if he should drink and the inn-lady laughed.
"Don't worry, its non-alcoholic, We don't give out our alcoholic drinks to children.
They and another group were the only people up and awake eating in the main lobby.
The other group consisted of two bow-women and one swordsman. They were huddled up together whispering in low voices. They looked like a suspicious lot to Adamas, mainly because he didn't know whether they were players or NPCs. It was one of NLR's special features where an ordinary player or NPC can't tell if someone is a "destined" one or just another resident of NLR.
"I'm telling you that's the kid we saw at the Training Hall!! That's the head instructor Grant sitting right beside him!!"
The only male in the three-man team spoke up in an excited whisper.
"He doesn't have anything to do with us…."
The girl dressed in dark green pants, shirt and vest with the large long bow leaning beside her chair said in a low barely audible tone.
"Of course he does! Don't we want to join the "Fierce Fighters" guild!? That kid is our ticket into the big leagues! If we're able to hand him over to them they'll have no choice but to accept us. They are expanding a lot of resources just to locate the kid. Imagine if we hand him over! They'll love us!!"
The other girl dressed in light green with a short bow and two daggers on her hips turned her attention to Gaurald and spoke up in a cautious tone.
"You saw how he fought at the Training Hall, if he can fight like that in a real battle then we won't stand a chance in close-quarter combat…. and I'm beginning to have second thoughts about the Fierce Fighters. Their leader isn't capable enough. While he does have good values his capabilities as a proper leader are severely lacking according to the rumors that have been circulating. He isn't able to coordinate the guild well."
Gaurald laughed in response to what she said.
"It's just a little kid Lindsey! Even if he does know how to fight there's no way he can take on all three of us! I'll hold him off with my sword and shield while you back me up from behind and Hailey can pick him off with her god-like sniping from the distance with her long-bow! And if you're talking about that supposed rape incident involving the Fierce Fighter (FF from now on) members, I heard that's it's all a lie made up by the other guilds so FF can lose face…. Even though I still can't say with certainty whether or not the incident happened, but do you really think that players can rape NPCs in NLR? I really doubt that's possible.
Currently they were all in search of a good guild where they would be able to grow and become stronger. They wanted to become the best players in NLR in order to make the maximum profit possible. They were MMG (Money-Making Gamers) or what people like to call them: Dark Gamers. They decided to become dark gamers in order to make some cash on the side when they were attending middle-school. They have played many different popular MMORPGs and have made at least 1,000 dollars a month. Sometimes when they're doing really well they would make up to 5,000 dollars a month. And joining a guild meant more cash.
Since there weren't many players that would join a guild before the one month lock-down period most guilds didn't have more than 40 members. Only three guilds managed to pass the number barrier that every other guild had. Right now the three friends were looking to join up with one of those three major up and coming guilds that popped up in Greenage. Loyalers, Fierce Fighters, and Valiant. Loyalers wouldn't allow them to join since they knew the guild leader and he didn't really like them. Valiant is a secret group that did not have as many as FF or Loyalers but according to Gaurald they only accept players who have completed a G-rank quest which is almost impossible to find during the lock-down month. So the team's only option was Fierce Fighters which boasted of the most members at 1,572.
One thousand five hundred and seventy-two members is actually a large amount of players since most of the people who started NLR the day it came out were already done with their 10-day growth period. FF is extremely popular and more people flock to them as each day passes. According to Lindsey's calculations if FF keeps on growing at the rate it is, it will be one of the top 10 strongest guilds in NLR.
The girl who had spoken up first, aka Hailey ignored the conversation between Lindsey and Gaurald and peaked at Adamas in a thoughtful manner. She was the silent type and would never say anything un-necessary within the group. She loved using the bow both here in NLR and in RL, so she was considered a prodigy with it by her friends and family. She would always go hunting with her father in the mountains when she was young and they would always use longbows instead of the usual compact bows or guns that hunters usually used. Her time with her dad when she was little had a great impact on how she turned out and she knew it. She loved him the most out of everyone else in her family, which is why it hurt her inside whenever she thought of him.
Hailey observed Adamas closely and was beginning to have second-thoughts about capturing the kid. Through her years of taking life and being able to read every minute detail in her prey's body language Hailey was able to sense something abnormal about Adamas
When Hailey looked at Adamas something inside of her told her not to confront the little boy head on in a battle. It wasn't his vulgar way of eating as if he hadn't eaten anything in weeks or his terrible smell that permeated from his body. It was just a gut feeling she had. She just felt that he wasn't your average kid.
This kid is dangerous…..
|You have unlocked the new skill Aura Perception!!
|Aura Perception (Passive Skill)The ability to sense the auras of any living entity or object and perceive whether there is anything more than what meets the eyes. Can measure the level of danger any entity can pose towards the user or measure true value of any object. This skill requires the user to concentrate greatly when observing their target. Can only be used passively on one target at a time.
Hailey was slightly surprised and concentrated her stare towards Adamas until a small bar came into her vision. From the left the bar was colored green and as it moved to the right it became darker until it started to turn dark red at the end. A white arrow appeared towards the right where the bar was beginning to turn red.
So I guess this means he's dangerous…….
Hailey turned her head away from Adamas and the bar disappeared like smoke from her view.
She looked back at her group leader Lindsey and waited for her decision. Lindsey's brows were wrinkled as she thought about the team's next course of action. She was always the intelligent one in their little group. She would always map out their plans and finalize their decisions.
Hailey looked towards Gaurald and he was eagerly looking at Hailey awaiting her decision. He was the only guy in their team and despite his lack of caution he was pretty good with the sword and shield. He mostly used his shield over his sword but it didn't mean he was unable to use the sword. Whenever he would go on the offensive his sword strikes were quick and brutal. He was also their information gatherer. He would go out and interact with NPCs and players for info and look for any quest-givers. He was really good at finding the truth in rumors and gossip. He had a knack for socializing.
Hailey then once-more looked at Adamas and concentrated her sight on his two swords strapped to his back.
Two-swords? …..Dual swordsman?
Haiey was brought back to attention when Lindsey sighed out loud. Lindsey raised her face to her two companions and spoke up with resolve.
"Fine let's do it. I hate it when we have to resort ourselves to something as low as kidnapping but if we don't join a guild soon, being the best will be 10 times harder. We're used to MMORPGs but this one is different guys, we shouldn't underestimate the kid just because we were able to find out that raising our stats during the growth stage was easy."
Hailey smiled at what Lindsey said. It was all due to Gaurald that they were able to find out about raising stats early on.
"Here's the plan! If he logs out before we capture him we'll just let the Fierce Fighters know where his location is so that when he logs back in they can take care of him. They should let us join the guild if we do that much. If he doesn't log out and puts up a fight then we'll capture him. Remember though, our objective is to ONLY capture him not to kill him. It would suck if we were hunted by the guards before the lock-down around Greenage goes down."
Last thing we need is to become like Crazy Kong.. Hailey thought while stealing glances at her new target.
There was a rumor of a crazy player who killed two other players outside the inner wall and became a "marked" payer. Ever since then he's been on the run from the guards living in the outer city away from civilization. He was a Korean with Kong in his name so everyone calls him "Crazy Kong". At first the team didn't believe the rumor but once Gaurald authenticated the information they had no choice but to accept it as the truth.
Lindsey spoke up again informing them of their plan
"We'll injure him badly enough and disable him so that he can't fight anymore than tie him up with ropes. Since i know the bandaging skill I'll always be near in case his health gets too low. Gaurald you don't have to cross swords with him. Just be our argo so that Hailey can injure him. Once you see an opening start using the ropes to hold him down while we run towards you. Hailey you'll be far out of sight in order to disable him with shots to his limbs. Do the both of you agree?"
"You're the boss Linds", Gaurald said with a grin.
"Okay….", Hailey said in a small voice without showing interest.
Linds short for Lindsey. She asserted her position of leader and brains of their little three-man team when they both agreed to her plan.
Hailey took one final peek at the little kung-fu kid sending out a silent apology.
I'm sorry kid… No matter how dangerous or strong you are… we can't let our ticket into Fierce Fighters just walk away…
Adamas, unbeknownst of the approaching danger, continued eating the delicious breakfast while the inn-lady and Grant continued to talk about how he performed during his training.
"Fifteen hours!? That is really long, but I'm even more surprised that he finished it at such a young age!"
The inn-lady who used to be a famous adventurer truly did look surprised but Grant just laughed at what she said.
"Hahaha! If you think that's a huge accomplishment then you'll be blown away by how he improved by an hour less than 15!!"
"Wow, looks like you've got yourself an accomplished little genius! I wish my daughter was as hardworking as he is, she does nothing but slack off lately. I feel like she needs a good push in the right direction."
The inn-lady released a long sigh and looked at Adamas with envy written all over her eyes.
Adamas could only continue eating his food awkwardly under the gaze of the inn-lady. He was ravishing everything within his sight on the table. He was reaching out for the biscuit slathered in grape jam when the inn-lady spoke up suddenly.
"Child, just make sure to pass by this establishment before you leave Greenage after your month is up. Gathering relevant information about your destination is also an adventure's duty."
Adamas retreated his hand to his side and looked towards the inn-lady in confusion.
"What makes you so sure that I would decide to leave Greenage after a month?"
The inn-lady and Grant looked towards Adamas in uncertainty as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Don't you already know? As a destined one you should have the desire to go out adventuring in the world. Aren't you going to leave Greenage after you've stayed here for a month?"
"Y-yes, I will but how did you know that I would want to leave after only a month?"
Do they know about the one month-restriction that doesn't allow player to leave the city?
"It was decreed by the Gods and Goddesses! That's how. Four years before you were born, most of the High Gods and Goddesses sent down messages through the oracles that informed the citizens of Alvernon that our kingdom would soon greet the "Destined Ones" in each of our 6 Threshold cities. Great individuals who even had the potential to rival our exulted 7 heroes and would eventually bring drastic change into our lives. They would all be free without any allegiances to any kingdom including the ones they're born into.
They said that most of the destined ones would have the desire to leave and explore the world as soon as they could walk and this made the council of Alvernon worry for their safety. The council took the news of the arrival of the destined ones calmly but they were worried inside since they knew how dangerous it is beyond the borders of the cities and villages so it was decided unanimously by the council to hire the Great Sages to erect a barrier around each city with a month growth limit. The barrier would not allow any "Destined One" who hasn't been alive for more than a month inside the city to leave the walls. The people on the other hand were more than calm when they heard of the "destined ones""
Grant interrupted the inn-lady by slamming down his mug of watered down ale and spoke up with good humor.
"Haha, boy, every person in Alvernon was excited by the news. The council said to the citizens that they would welcome the "Destined Ones" with open arms when they arrived but in the end we were all caught by surprise when the oracles told us how they were exactly going to arrive. Hahaha. If you could have seen the look on everyone's faces!"
The inn-lady smiled with a nostalgic feeling and continued her narration.
"Yes, we were all caught by surprise. For three years the High Church's oracles did not receive word on how or when the "Destined ones" would arrive. Everyone began to feel as if they had done something wrong to anger the High Gods and Goddesses. We were all on edge making sure to not commit any type of sin in fear of further angering the High Gods and Goddesses. Until finally about 9 months before you were all born, most of the High Churches sent multiple messengers out on their fastest horses all over Alvernon with word from the High Gods and Goddesses. The oracles had once again received word that the destined ones would be born onto this world from the people of Alvernon after 9 months! We were informed that the women of our fair kingdom were chosen to give birth to the Destined Ones."
Grant snorted in laughter and added in his own bit.
"Don't misunderstand boy, they didn't just magically become pregnant. They had to work hard with their loved ones in their bedrooms in order to give birth to you all! I remember it all like yesterday. It was the night after the messengers rode into town. I went to my usual tavern and it was empty! Not a soul inside except for the bartender. When I asked him where everyone went, he let me know that all the men were at home with their wives hoping to make their own "Destined child"! Hahaha, those poor fools. The whole kingdom was in heat that whole month. Some of my instructors would show up with bags under their eyes because their wives wouldn't let them get a good nights sleep! Gwahahaha, Thank god I'm not married!"
The inn-lady joined in with Grant's laughter.
"It was really hectic that whole month. Almost every family had a pregnant wife that would soon give birth to their own Destined Child. Even the council members were working hard with their spouses! Me and my husband on the other hand decided that having one trouble maker in the family was enough so we didn't really have the desire to raise any of the destined ones. The oracles let everyone know that the "destined ones" (DOs from now own) would continue to arrive in our world even after the first month they were born. The only requirement is that the family has to pray to their gods and they will most likely be answered in 9 months."
The inn-lady finished her narration and took a drink of some water for her dry throat.
Adamas stared at his mug of water slowly digesting everything he recently ate and heard. He was excited. Knowing that there was an actual back-story for the players arrival in NLR was pretty cool, unlike all the other MMORPGs he had played before.
They even have a back-story for the one month restriction! I wonder who the Great Sages are, they sound like really powerful mages…
Adamas looked outside one the inn's windows and saw the first rays of morning light streaking through the sky. He stood up and looked towards the inn-lady and Grant who suddenly stopped talking to each other when they noticed Adamas standing.
"I should get a head start so I can make it back home in time for dinner…Thank you for letting me stay here ma'am, I'll make sure to stop by before I leave Greenage. Grant, thank you for the training, I'll be glad to repay you in any way when I'm grown up."
"My name is Anebelle, and please do, I look forward to seeing how stronger you get from now on."
Grant just laughed and said "No Problem, it was fun."
Adamas smiled and left the table to head towards him room in order to pack with his super dimensional bag that was currently no where in sight. He recently found out that the bag can not only take in items larger than its size but that it can also disappear and reappear whenever he wants. The weight of the bag still pulls him down but it can easily be accessed without having to carry it. It just appears right besides him. Magic. That was the only explanation Adamas had and it was all he needed for now.
As soon as Adamas stood to leave, Hailey and her friends stood up and left before Adamas could. They waited in an alley across from the inn where they could keep a good eye on who left and came. As soon as a little child exited the inn the group slowly followed behind the kid making sure to keep their distance.
Adamas was now past the inner city's gates jogging towards his NPC parent's home. The sky was dyed in red as the sun announced its arrival for the day. He spent the past 70 minutes observing the many people who were also on the same road. Some were merchants in a large cavern, soldiers on horse-back, travelers, families, and they were all diverse consisting of high elves, dark elves, wood elves, humans, wild dwarves and even a couple of mountain dwarves.
When he realized he was getting closer to the spot where he heard the strange sound of something being dragged he decided to concentrate on his immediate surroundings. Ten minutes later he diverted from the bustling main road onto the small empty road that was used to get to his house. He decided to stop for a quick break after he realized he was almost upon the same spot where he heard the suspicious sound
He was warned by his NPC mother to not diverge from the road on his way to the inner city but she said nothing about him staying on the road on his way back. Adamas smiled while he thought about how witty he was and took out some of his smoked rabbit meat. As soon as he was about to take a bite he changed his mind and decided to soak the meat in some of the special sauce Anabelle had given to him. He then proceeded to lower his hand from his mouth towards the jar that contained the savory sauce.
As soon as the rabbit meat met the jar of sauce on the ground an arrow passed through the space between his hand and mouth. The exact same place where his hand would be if he had taken a bite without Annabelle's sauce.
Adamas recoiled in shock by falling on his back.
Where the hell did that arrow come from!!
Before Adamas could think on the origins of the long purple fletched arrow, somewhere near the bushes to his left he heard a rustling sound. He looked up towards the bushes when suddenly a full body armored man came out with his shield in front of him. Adamas quickly rolled to the side and stood up. He began to raise his hand in order to draw his swords when another arrow came flying towards him. Out of some mysterious force of luck the arrow struck his right writ's gravity armament and bounced off harmlessly. Adamas was dumbfounded by his luck recently and realized it might be because he had actually gained some stat in luck from Hell's Ground.
Thank you Hell for the luck.
Too distracted to realize the irony in his thoughts Adamas was caught unawares when the unknown man with the shield suddenly sped up. The guy lowered his body and pulled back his shield in preparation for a shield dash. Adamas seeing the enemy in front of him getting ready to wham him with the huge shield that was twice his size, he reacted by crossing his arms and jumping up by raising his knees in front of his stomach. Floating in the air with a defensive stance The full armored guy bashed Adamas at the end of his dash with an enormous force that shook Adamas's whole body.
He flew for a couple of yards rolled up like a cannon ball until he hit the ground where he rolled around like a rag doll for the next 4 yards. Adamas was face down in the dirt unable to move feeling more than a bit hurt.
Shit! What the hell is going on! Who are these people!
Luckily Adamas flew into the woods on the side of the road where he had enough cover to avoid any more deadly arrows. He still remembered that long purple fletched arrow that almost took out his hand. The man on the other hand was once again charging towards Adamas. But this time, instead of a shield he had ropes in his hands.
Adamas had four more seconds before the stun effect would wear off and the guy in full armor heading his way would reach him in less than two. He quickly thought about using the gravity field on the huge junk of metal that was currently heading his way. As soon as he thought about his target being weighed down by his item skill, a couple of words flashed in front of Adamas's vision.
The big hunk of metal that was currently running towards Adamas suddenly stopped in surprise. Despite the small amount of extra gravity working on the shield-bearer, he was still taken by surprise which gave Adamas the time needed to recover from his stun-affect.
He quickly jumped up and unsheathed his swords. Once his swords came out the guy in full metal armor was suddenly approached by a woman who was wielding a short bow.
Is she the one that has been sniping me… No her arrows have red feathers, the other arrow had purple instead, so that must mean another one is still out there. Damn I don't think I can win with these odds.
The new arrival came up to her friend and when she saw that he was okay she took aim at Adamas with her short bow.
Adamas jumped behind a nearby tree only to hear the arrow skim of its trunk. He took a glance back at his two enemy's only to find them approaching his location fast. The girl was now wielding two dangerous looking daggers and the shield-bearer now had a sword out. Adamas quickly retreated further into the woods. He ran between every tree possible in order to gain cover from his pursuer's arrows. Arrows started whizzing by. They would all hit tree or empty spaces until one of the many arrows finally met their mark. Adamas was hit violently on his left shoulder, he turned his head and looked at the arrow stuck in his shoulder during his short flight due to the arrow's impact and saw that it had purple fletching. Argh!! Shit it hurts!! But god damn this person is a monster with the bow. He hit the ground and fell down.
Due the ground's decline he rolled down what seemed like a hill loaded with trees sticking out. Adamas was afraid he might collide with a tree resulting in more damage. His HP was now already in the yellow due to the purple fletched arrow and colliding with a tree would definitely make the situation worse. He continued his roll down without luckily hitting any of the trees breaking the arrow lodged into his shoulder in the process. He rolled and rolled until he arrived at a line of bushes on the even ground where instead of rolling through them, he suddenly plummeted down a hole hidden under the surrounding bushes. He yelled out in surprise only to get the rest of his breath knocked out of his lungs when he landed with a thud on a dirt covered floor.
|You have discovered the secret mini-dungeon Wanderer's Bane!!
+100 Fame
Adamas rolled on the floor and sat up right holding his wounded shoulder while looking at his new destination.
….Never a dull moment in this game…huh.
"Where did he go!!" Lindsey yelled in frustration!
*Sigh* "I don't really know Lindsey, I did see him roll down the hill but after that I don't know where he went….. What did he hit me with back there."
Gaurald mumbled the last part to himself wondering what the little kid did to him when he suddenly felt heavier as if his whole body weighed a bit more.
Lindsey and Gaurald were currently searching the area where they thought Adamas had landed but their efforts did not bear any fruit.
They heard rustling from behind and Lindsey took aim with her bow and Gaurald raised his shield and sword up.
Hailey burst out from the nearby trees and stopped in her tracks when she saw the tension in her teammates. Lindsey sighed and lowered her bow while Gaurald sheathed his sword but still kept his shield at the ready. Hailey looked around and found part of her arrow with blood on it that hit the little kid lying on the hill. She frowned and thought to herself
…So it did hit….
She didn't feel good targeting a child but once the hunt starts all emotions must remain in the back-seat. That was what her father taught her and that was why she was so good.
"We can't find out where he bloody went" Lindsey said in frustration as she threw up her hand in proclamation.
…….You can tell she's really mad when her British accent starts showing….
Hailey looked at her friend and told her in a calm low voice.
"It's okay…. We can still call FF…. and tell them that he's here…"
Gaurald smiled and put his hand on Lindsey's shoulder.
"She's right, maybe he just logged off, this is still a city. Even though I'm not sure if you can log off in the middle of a battle…. I guess you might be able to in the city… But that doesn't matter now. Let me just whisper the guild and tell them we know where their little kung fu kid is and we'll tell them where exactly only if they let us join!!"
Lindsey visibly relaxed by taking a deep breath and letting it out.
"You're right, the situation is out of our hands now. Our next course of action should be to contact FF and tell them we know where the kid currently is in exchange for becoming members….. Will you do us the honors Gaurald?"
Gaurald grinned and said.
"No Problem Linds"
Gaurald walked off a few steps away from his teammates and controlled his menu bar to whisper one of his acquaintances in the FF guild.
#Hello, Leon?#
#……Hey Gaurald, what's up?#
Gaurald grinned mischievously and whispered back.
#You won't believe who we just met…..#

Here at Tubbs, we eagerly wait for winter so we can get out and explore. Though we test our products year round it's always a joy when the snow levels lower and get within an hour drive of our home base in Seattle, Washington. As the winter rolls in we can get our latest models out on the snow and explore as we please.
This year Tubbs is excited to introduce improvements on our top of the line snowshoes, as well as our entry-level snowshoes. We believe that our products should be continually put to the test and improved upon to get you further on the snow, in product that functions perfectly, but also looks good.
The Mountaineer snowshoe, for those ambitious backcountry travelers, features a newly developed frame shape – The ProStep Frame. This frame is beneficial because of the way it combines both the importance of ergonomics as well as flotation. The ProStep Frame helps follow your natural stride from heel to toe with the continuous frame bend found in both the tail end and front of the snowshoe. This lower height provides more flotation, with more surface area covering the snow. Early testers have raved about the new frame shape being an improvement – we know you'll love it too! Also updated were the graphics, with new designs on both the Men's and the Women's Mountaineers.
Tubbs is also excited to announce our expanded size in our FLEX ALP snowshoe. As our FLEX models have gained popularity, we had to respond to the desire to have a FLEX model with increased surface area to provide more flotation for backcountry ascents. Those with heavier loads relying on the increased flotation will love the traction that the FLEX ALP XL provides, along with the comfort of the same great ActiveFlex™ binding. These snowshoes will
provide the perfect traction and comfort for backcountry travel, whether it's for an afternoon or over a weekend!
We are also excited to announce a new binding this year – the QuickPull binding, featured on the Xplore snowshoes. This new binding is a dream to use – very simple to get into as well as secure and comfortable with multiple systems to keep your foot in place without pressure points. Testers raved about the simplicity of this binding and the security it provided. The Men's and Women's Xplore snowshoes also were enhanced with new graphics, black and green for the Men and purple and white for the Women's. Those new to snowshoeing and those that love trail walking will love the features on the Xplore!
Check out these great features on the Tubbs Snowshoes and come join us at one of our many demo events or Tubbs Romp to Stomp out Breast Cancer Series this winter! We also would love for you to share your adventures on our facebook page: www.facebook.com/TubbsSnowshoes.

I had the Connect to UPS module working on all cylinders until I had to ship to Canada and realized that the international shipping options weren't available:
So, I looked for another alternative. This UPS shipping module seemed to be more robust and offered international shipping from anywhere in the US, Canada, or Mexico.
However, when I installed it, it wasn't working and offered no error, just that "There are no carriers that deliver to the address you selected." still.
I troubleshooted and found the error was the ShipFrom state wasn't acceptable. I changed it to "TX" instead of "Texas" and that worked. I was able to get the rates from UPS Standard and UPS Worldwide Express, which allow my client to ship international.

Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian cannot stop arguing over these holidays and who is invited to the family event. It looks like Scott won't be able to have a merry Christmas this year.
Scott is currently dating Sofia Richie, and Kourtney does not want her anywhere near her kids, so it seems that Kourt banned her from the family festivities.
By banning Sofia, Kourtney practically made Scott choose between spending his winter holidays with her or together with his three kids. He doesn't think that this is a fair thing to do.
'Kourtney made it clear to Scott that his girlfriend Sofia is not allowed at any family holiday events' an insider stated.
'Kourtney has several issues with Scott dating Sofia and does not like it at all. Kourt has banned Sofia from meeting the kids despite how serious things are getting between Sofia and Scott. Kourtney is also trying to prevent Scott from bringing Sofia to the big annual Kardashian family Christmas party. Kourtney wants to maintain family tradition, and she does not think Sofia fits into that ideal,' the same source revealed.
It was also reported that Scott will not tolerate his ex to tell him what he can't or cannot do. He is furious that Kourtney dares to judge his relationship while she is also dating someone much younger than her.
He really wants to spend the holidays with his kids, and he is mad at Kourt for banning Sofia. He feels that Kourt will ruin his holidays because of her jealousy towards Sofia. Scott thinks that Kourtney is nothing more than a hypocrite considering that she has already introduced the kids to Younes Bendjima, her boyfriend.

Adolescent Therapy
Adolescent Therapy
Adolescents don't come with instructions and raising a teenager to become a successful contributor to society can be stressful. Adolescent counselling can help a parent to ensure that they are on the right track, and to deal with any issues they may be facing.
It is common for teens to face challenges and adolescent therapy can be very helpful. One of the main areas this type of therapy addresses is the interpersonal relationships between the teenager and his or her family members. It can help improve communication and interactions between the family members and promote healing.
Teenagers need a lot of love and a strong support structure in which they can heal and grow. It can be challenging to be on the cusp of adulthood and adolescence is often a very challenging transitional period. Adolescent counselling offers a secure and non-judgmental environment for teenagers to transition from childhood into adolescence. It will address issues of behaviour, puberty, emotions, and in some cases even nutrition.
If you are looking at Adolescent Therapy for your child, have a look at the counsellors listed below.

Marshalls Street Furniture Launch Outdoor Living Rooms Concept
Outdoor Living Rooms is an innovative new concept in street furniture from Marshalls Street Furniture's French Partners Sineu Graff. Developed to promote the creation of public spaces by encouraging social interaction and participation, and with the objective of ultimately building sustainable communities, the ranges include seats, armchairs, loungers, footrests and low tables. Furniture can also be grouped in configurations to provide opportunities for socialising and relaxing.
Outdoor Living Rooms showcases five new co-ordinated ranges; Garden City has been designed in collaboration with industry designer Cecile Planche and has a light transparent aesthetic which is constructed from steel with luxurious arm rest facings in a mahogany tinted hardwood. Optima uses clean and elegant lines with steel legs and hardwood slats in a deep mahogany finish, only the essentials are retained in the design to create an outdoor suite designed to be as uncluttered as possible. Optima also has a bench and a high table making it suitable for the creation of a contemporary eating area.
There are three ranges in cast iron and timber; Opera has a restrained design offering simplicity and elegance and the more traditional Café range features cast iron legs that incorporate an integral armrest. Elite brings contemporary design with an original leg profile.
Marshalls Street Furniture specialise in the design, manufacture and sourcing of beautiful street furniture and the Outdoor Living Rooms concept is just one of a full range of products for architects and specifiers who are looking for coordinating furniture to make strong statements within their schemes.
Full information on Outdoor Living Rooms is contained in the new 2008 Marshalls Street Furniture Product Selector. For a copy please call: 0870 600 2425 or visit www.marshalls.co.uk/streetfurniture

One Love, One Lifetime
"For life or for death, however, separated.
To our wives, we pledged our word.
We held their hands; we are to grow old together with them. "- James Legge
From the Daily Mail's, an old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Platell, had their golden and diamond wedding anniversary. They had hoped to make it to their platinum wedding anniversary. However, while they got older, Mrs. Platell had advanced Alzheimer's and Mr. Platell had falls and minor strokes. At the Mercy Care home, they shared a room and their beds were pushed together. Then he broke his hip and had an infection to make him weaker. Recently, they had both passed away peacefully.
I would like to share with you about certain points that touch my heart to show my respect to them:
- Long-term relationship
Mr. Platell would pick roses or biscuits for his wife. They had been married for 70 years and I believe that their relationship would still go on and on. It is really harder and harder to have this "one love, one lifetime" relationship in this modern society. There is too much attraction and you would easily look for excitement and changes to bring energy back to your life. That makes it more difficult to find your Mr. Right or Ms. Right and your soul mate.
- Love at first sight
Mrs. Platell said: "The first time she dated Mr. Platell. She raced home to tell her twin sister Lorraine she had just met the man she would marry." This is so romantic and lovely. Many people have searched and searched but no result. How fortunate they are to find each other.
- Long-term care
Mrs. Platell had Alzheimer's. Mr. Platell was not well, either. He still insisted to take care of her and accompany her like feeding and washing. He would go to the care home to have meals with her. They would watch TV and hold hands. Mrs. Platell would feel at ease and fall asleep on his shoulder. Even when they were so weak that they needed to be bedridden, their beds were side by side to support each other.
- Know where you belong
Mr. Platell said: "Home was wherever Mum was." That is the best feature to describe mentally what home is. No matter where your home is, the point is to be together with each other. It does not actually matter that much where you live or how luxury your house is. You both live together and your hearts are together. You share the same value and respect each other. Love makes you strong and helps you grow.
- Role model
Mr. and Mrs. Platell did not have a college education and much money. What puts this family together is love.
Her daughter said: "We may have been short of money, but never on love." They worked as a team to raise their three children to be someone who is capable of helping people —a pharmacist, a surgeon, and a journalist. Their children made them proud.
- Correct and righteous philosophy and value
Mrs. Platell wrote: "Remember that the only important things in life are family, friends, love, loyalty, and integrity. Nothing else matters." It is true and people seldom see things so clearly and realize the truth. Most of the time, money and physical things like appearance matter more.
- Have a good contact with your parents constantly
It is very possible that your children or even you would work abroad or far away from home. Maybe you are, too. When your parents get older, they would get sick very often. To make a phone call to share your life and what happens around you means a lot to them. Get connected with them and let them know you care about them. Mr. Platell said to his daughter: "Our often hour-long calls were like opening a window on the world for him." Though Mrs. Platell couldn't reply, she would like to listen to what her daughter said.
- Amazing grace
I believe that all of you would agree with me that by the time you are over 90, most of your family and friends are dead. However, people who are inspired by this lovely couple, around 250, accompanied them before they were laid into the grave. Just imagine that all your life till the end, would so many people attend your funeral? Do you do something right so that people including the unknown would say a final goodbye to you?
- Perfect end
At their last moment in life, they passed away almost at the same time. They held hands and stayed together until the end of life. Mr. Platell left before Mrs. Platell to make sure everything was fine. That is the perfect end of all.
To be honest, this romantic and moving story shows me that true love does exist. I believe that anyone who reads this story would feel the same. How lucky they are to have each other. How lucky I am to read this story and thank you.
I hope you like my article. Welcome to share with your friends and family. And let me know if there is any comment you would like to share with me. If you'd like to read this later, please save it to Pinterest.

Okay, it's hot hot hot! First week in Viet Nam on the mountainous roads from Dien Bien Phu to the area of Hanoi. Turn at 1000 m of ascent per day approximately, for 55 80 km daily. It's hard, but it's beautiful!
Laos, its adorable and if smiling people its beautiful landscapes... A relatively flat southern part, but on the other hand... mountainous northern part!
Two wooden boat, a Board, and a motor, that is our boat to cross the Mekong from one island to the shore, in the South of Laos. It was beautiful, it was nice!
Week in the mountains. Bike on the trails, walks in the waterfalls, boat... It is so good!
What country! We come out changed and marked by 1 month passed in Cambodia. We were to meet the people of this country by exchanging a few words of English, visited the temples of Angkor time, celebrating the first of the year in Phnom Penh, having regard to the Cambodian jungle, Plains graaaandes all flat, was muted by the horns of trucks on the roads of the country.
Sabadiiii! The North of Laos is really nice. People are hyper-nice, it is full of cyclists, and driving with James for a COL of anthology. Remembered the three days spent with our favorite scout!
A sensational entry! The happiness of border Arhh! Our first contact with Laos was a thousand leagues of what we lived then. Fortunately!
Already 5 months! Time passes more and more quickly we say!
Pressed a little more in the Laotian hinterland, and multiply contacts with the locals. It becomes a little more account of the popularity of this destination among the cyclists: it crosses so many travellers like us! It's quite amazing. Landscapes here put us good slaps: it is so unusual, so beautiful.
First week in Laos, and is far from being alone. In addition to the home hyper friendly population, it drove with two other french riders, and was found for an evening Dudus, our friends cyclists of Turkey.

It was the third time I had written that day. I sat on the pavement next to my car, quickly scribbling the thoughts that had been whirling around my brain. Once I got the thoughts out, I could stop thinking them. I could stop having conversations in my head. Quiet would follow, even if only for a short while.
I was initially reluctant to journaling. Resistant, you could even say. It took months to give into my counselor's prodding to write about why I didn't want to write. Fast forward several years and I understand that the friction I was experiencing stemmed from an unwillingness and a fear of truly examining myself. For many of us in the business of sadness and self-sabotage, self-awareness might mean facing demons that, in some ways, provide familiarity and comfort. Of course, I only learned these things through journaling itself.
Your story might sound like mine. It might not. Regardless, journaling provides an outlet for reflection which is critical in learning. As an educator, I often teach others about learning theories. One step required for learning to occur is reflecting on our experiences. We reflect, draw conclusions and notice themes, and decide how to proceed in the future. Without taking the time to reflect, we don't learn and we don't grow.
Need help getting started?
Here are a few of the tricks I found most helpful in turning journaling into a welcome practice:
1. Get a pretty journal. Seriously. If you can imagine it on Instagram next to a latte, you'll be more willing to pick up that pretty stack of paper on the regular.
2. Try different styles of writing. Free writing is great to start with; let your thoughts just pour onto the paper. Try letters to self or letters to others, as well. I'm not the only one having a constant conversation with myself or an imaginary friend in my head. Now, I just put it on paper. Get creative with haikus or poetry if the mood strikes. Remember, no one is reading this but you. There's no pressure for anything fancy unless it helps you write.
3. Theme your journal. Gratitude journals are the most popular option here. Every day, write 3-5 things from your day or your life for which you are thankful. Or focus on self-love. Jot down a few things you love about yourself, especially on those days when you're really in a funk. Note one random act of kindness you witnessed. Note any accomplishments, big or small, from your day. Or create your own daily list. All of these things will cultivate an attitude of positivity and you'll shift your focus to optimism without realizing it. You'll catch yourself writing lengthy entries rather than a bulleted list and diving deeper into your thoughts as your journaling expands.
4. Set a time. Pick a time, whether it be first thing in the morning, during your lunch break, or after dinner. Choose a time that will work nearly every day. Stick to that time, even when you don't feel like journaling or life seems too busy. If you promise yourself just 3 minutes of writing, you might find that you have more to say. If not, you've written 3 minutes of thoughts and that's worthwhile!
5. Invest in a journal with prompts. Still stuck? A myriad of daily journals with prompts, questions, or quotes to get you going are now out on the market. While they'll cost more than an empty notebook, they're perfect for anyone needing an extra push or more inspiration.
Start with journaling. As it becomes more natural, begin reviewing previous entries to notice the ebbs and flows of life, themes in work and relationships, and changes in mood when circumstances change. Examine these and look deep. What stories do you tell yourself? Are they just that – stories? What do you want to change or improve and what is holding you back? As you continue this process, you'll have a way to look back at your growth through the very tool that supported it.

The Plunkett Foundation's cooperative approach provides a sound financial model, while bringing communities together as one.
The English countryside may be a rural idyll in the minds of stressed city dwellers, but an increasing number of villagers suffer from isolation and loneliness. The closure of about 200 local shops a year means focal points of village life are vanishing, exacerbating a sense of disconnection from the wider world.
Many shops close when owners reach retirement age and no one is willing to replace them. Supermarkets and home shopping make it tough to run a thriving business. But the Plunkett Foundation promotes a community ownership model that is working well financially, as well as addressing rural isolation. Last year, 17 new community-owned shops opened, meaning there are now 330 across the UK, up from 27 in 1994. A further 150 are in the planning stage.
"People say 'the original shop couldn't make it as a private venture so why would a community-owned shop be different?' But the engagement of the communities themselves is the key," says Plunkett's Katherine Darling. "Locals usually come to us saying they need a shop so they have a vested interest in making it work. Volunteers reduce costs and work to strengthen the local community. They provide a loyal customer base. Local businesses provide produce. The shops often act as service centres, providing access to essential goods and services, including food,medicines, fuel and cash."
Darling says once a community shows an interest, the Plunkett Foundation sends a general advisor to explain the democratic model, which gives each member an equal vote irrespective of whether they invest £1 or £100,000. Later, specialists advise on planning, marketing and raising finance. The goal is not just to run a successful business, but also to become a thriving hub of village life. With the cooperative model, these goals are one and the same.
"The goal is not just to run a successful business, but also to become a thriving hub of village life. With the cooperative model, these goals are one and the same"
Katherine Darling
Hannah Barrett, Plunkett Foundation Frontline project coordinator, says the shops are a powerful tool for building community spirit. "They lead to increased social contact by giving volunteers an opportunity to get involved in community life and creating support networks for vulnerable people. For many people we speak to they provide a sense of belonging, purpose and self-worth," she says.
The village of North Marston, in Bucking- hamshire, is a case where a local shop has transformed village life. At one time the village had four pubs, a blacksmith, tailor, garage, four private shops, and a post office. But that number dwindled to just one pub. Until the local shop opened in 2011, villagers had to travel six miles to the nearest shop.
Barrett says: "The impact of The Shop at North Marston on its community is remarkable. From the outset members made inclusivity and reducing isolation a core objective. They included the whole community with hand-delivered questionnaires and their comments were integrated into the business plan. That ensured it would meet the needs of all residents and fostered a sense of ownership and commitment. A lot of volunteers commented on how they had become fully-engaged community members after being previously isolated."
The Village Store and Café in Cottingham, Northamptonshire, has had a similarly transformative effect. The large space has permitted a wide range of services. The café is a meeting place for mothers after the school run and the large upstairs room hosts small businesses and social groups. A small upstairs room, with sofas and games, is a gathering place for young people. "Cottingham creates a network hub where people's paths cross. Even if the shop and café fall out of favour with certain groups, its ability to unite people just by being there will remain," says Barrett.

See Me by Susan Hatler, Book Review
Amy Love, a high school junior, plays a Ouija board with friends one night and unintentionally connects with someone whose, well, not visible to the naked eye. When her body's taken over and her soul is stuck watching helplessly—she's terrified. When the zombie guzzles bologna that she will have to work off at the gym—she's angry. And, when her zombied body pulls up a news article on her laptop about a boy named Jonathan Miller who was recently in a car crash—she's . . . intrigued.
When the zombie chooses another host, Amy learns that the zombie is actually teen Jonathan Miller, son of the famous Maisy's Meow comic creator Jacob Miller. Jonathan tells Amy he doesn't know whether he's dead or alive, only that when he's not in a body, she is the only one who seems to know he exists.
Amy decides to help Jonathan discover what happened to him and, when they can't find his body, they try to find a substitute—preferably one that isn't occupied. On the journey, Jonathan leads Amy into all kinds of danger. To her surprise, he also leads her heart to somewhere unexpected. She's always heard of love at first sight, not love at first fright, but how can Amy be falling for a boy she's never even seen?
My Review:
I just finished reading this book and the word that best describes it is awesome! It is full of so many different emotions, from laughter to tears, from fear to love! This book covers it all and I couldn't put it down! It is so different with the zombie/ghost craziness and the story has this pull that I could not resist! The dynamic between all of the characters was realistic and I laughed so hard at parts there were tears in my eyes. Then in turn there were parts where I had tears from sadness. There is plenty of action in it too and the story played out nothing like I imagined! It was pure awesomeness and I cannot wait for a second book like this one! See Me is one YA paranormal book that any teenager or one at heart will not want to miss! Hatler continues to amaze me with her ability to write any genre that pulls me in hook, line and sinker!
You can pick up your own copy (and you should because it is awesome) via Amazon.
Happy Reading!!!

Imagine a dude gives you a gift. I dunno what the gift is. Just imagine the most awesomest gift you can imagine. And the dude says "You totally deserve this man. Some chic gave it to me. I dunno why she gave it to me, but she said I totally deserved it."
Are you thankful to the dude? Are you thankful to the chic? Do you think, "there must be some first giver who started the chain"?

No complaints here. Having Kudlow in a position of influence should come as a relief to every free-marketeer who feared Trump was about to fall irretrievably under the spell of a trade-warrior crank like Peter Navarro. I can understand why a Republican president would take a shine to him.
But why Trump would take a shine to him? No idea. Or at least, no idea from a policy perspective. The guy's most recent column is titled "Tariffs Are Taxes," for cripes sake.
Larry Kudlow on Wednesday accepted an offer from President Trump to head the White House's National Economic Council, according to three people familiar with the decision…
Kudlow, 70, is described by White House officials as someone who connects with the president personally and politically. Kudlow, born and raised in New Jersey, shares with Trump a hard-charging personality and a fondness for being a media figure and both have hosted television programs. Kudlow has also been an informal Trump adviser over the past year.
He was also an adviser to Trump during the 2016 campaign and worked closely with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on the design of an initial tax plan.
If you're worried about the end of NAFTA or the start of a global trade war, having Kudlow inside the Oval Office whispering in Trump's ear should make you sleep easier at night. (Three days ago he "predicted" that Europe will end up being exempted from Trump's new tariffs. Whew.) If you're *not* worried about trade wars, if in fact you'd like to see NAFTA blown up — and a whole lot of Trump voters do — then what's the point of this appointment? A few days ago, having announced the steel and aluminum tariffs and bid "globalist" Gary Cohn farewell, it looked like Trump was all set to go Full Metal Nationalist. He got elected with votes from working-class whites who wanted to see a tilt towards protectionism in the name of preserving U.S. jobs. Now, in year two, Trump was about to deliver. He had stopped listening to his swampy establishment advisors and was intent on doing things his way.
And now, suddenly, a Reaganite supply-sider like Kudlow is top man on the White House's economic totem pole. W-w-what?
I assume the spin here will be that Trump is building a "team of rivals," with Kudlow prepared to square off with Navarro and Wilbur Ross in a battle for the president's economic soul. (Trump: "We don't agree on everything, but I think in this case I think that's good because I want a divergent opinion.") Okay, I guess, but is that why steelworkers and coal miners voted for Trump? To send him to Washington and let the nationalists and "globalists" joust to see who should prevail in U.S. policy? Trump had a particular vision, yet he keeps staffing up with people who don't share the most unorthodox parts of it, the parts that seemingly gave him a decisive advantage over generic conservatives in the GOP presidential primaries.
And not just in matters of economic policy, either. As one Twitter pal said yesterday, between Mike Pompeo's elevation at State and the growing likelihood of John Bolton joining the administration, Trump seems to be re-creating a Marco Rubio White House of superhawks. Is that what his nationalist fans wanted?
Or did his nationalist fans essentially vote for the idea "In Trump We Trust," indifferent to actual policy so long as POTUS is happy with the course of action he's taking?
Weirder still, Politico reported just yesterday that Trump is already eyeing aggressive new tariffs on China, which will really get a trade war cookin'. Now here's free-trader Kudlow ready to climb aboard the Trump train. They're old friends who've moved in the same cable-news circles for years so it's not out of left field that Trump would think about bringing him onto his team, but it would have made more sense at the start of his administration when he was listening to supply-siders. Not in year two, when he's taken a turn towards the left.
I wouldn't ask this with any other president, but … is it as simple as the fact that he sees Kudlow on TV a lot and Kudlow (almost) always has nice things to say about him, policy be damned? He'll be "loyal," and loyalty's more important than global economic policy, I guess. God help us if Trump fires Jeff Sessions and decides to use cable news as a shortlist in filling that vacancy too.
Here's Kudlow on CNBC just a few days ago eviscerating the new tariffs. Congrats to Trump fans on the new appointee.
