This delightful town on the Petaluma River charms first-time DogTrekkers with a historic downtown whose sidewalks are set about with water bowls for visiting canines. Cuddle up at the historic Hotel Petaluma to be right in the middle of the action, or move a bit away from the downtown core to the Sheraton Sonoma County Hotel, where you can relax in a peaceful, resort-like setting.
In our estimation, Petaluma is one of the most dog-friendly cities in California when it comes to places for on- and off-leash fun. Locals and visitors alike rave about Rocky Memorial Dog Park, named for a Petaluma police dog who died in the line of duty. At almost nine acres, it's one of the largest dog parks in the state. And that's not all: at a dozen city parks, licensed pups under voice control can frolic leash-free at designated dog run areas during posted hours, generally in the morning. At all of them, four very sensible rules apply: stay in the area with the dog, keep the dog under voice control, clean up after your pet, and don't bring more than three dogs per person.
In addition, most other Petaluma parks allow leashed pets. Shollenberger Park, with a 2.2-mile trail, is especially lovely. We at DogTrekker thank city officials and local dog advocates for their pawsitive approach to canine recreation!
Also near Petaluma, dog–friendly Tolay Lake Regional Park can be enjoyed through a day–use permit program or on frequently scheduled guided hikes. The 1,769–acre property, formerly the Cardoza Ranch, consists of ridges, grasslands, wetlands and a historic homestead that many Bay Area residents know as the site of an annual pumpkin festival that draws as many as 30,000 parents and kids. Hike to a high point for views of Mount Tamalpais, Mount Diablo and other regional landmarks.

Crowns & Bridges in Garland, TX
Your teeth are very durable and stand up well to normal wear and tear. But a tooth can become damaged for any number of reasons, and if it does, we need to find the best way to protect it. Likewise, if you suffer tooth loss, the best course is always to take action sooner rather than later.
At Garland Grove Dentistry, we understand the importance of prompt, expert treatment for decayed, broken, or missing teeth. Dr. Woo Sung Jung has the solution for all these issues in the form of high-quality dental crowns and bridges made using premium dental materials.
Why We Might Recommend a Dental Crown
There are many types of dental damage, and in many cases, a tooth filling is sufficient to restore and protect the tooth. When it's not, however, Dr. Jung recommends a crown at our Garland Grove, TX dental office.
Here are some cases where a dental crown would be the best solution:
- Fractured tooth – A crack or break in the hard outer shell of your tooth requires the protection of a dental crown to strengthen it and prevent the crack from growing. If a crack expands below the gum line, we may need to perform a root canal or even extract the tooth.
- Large or recurrent cavities – If a tooth has significant decay, or has been filled multiple times, a dental crown will reinforce and protect its structure.
- After root canal – Removing infected pulp material with a root canal saves the tooth from extraction but also weakens its structure. In this case, we would recommend a dental crown to strengthen the tooth.
- Cosmetic purposes – Worn, rotated, or misshapen teeth or large gaps detract from your appearance. In some cases, a dental crown is an excellent solution to restore your appearance and allow for comfortable chewing.
Getting a dental crown in Garland, TX is a process that typically takes place over two appointments. Our crowns are made using premium materials like porcelain, porcelain-fused-to-metal, gold, zirconia, and e-Max. Call us today so we can help you choose the one that's right for you.
Building a Bridge to a Perfect Smile
A lost tooth is another serious complication that we need to address as quickly as possible. You may feel self-conscious about your smile or even have trouble chewing comfortably. A gap in your smile also allows adjacent teeth to drift into the open space, become unstable, and potentially lead to further tooth loss.
A dental bridge is an affordable tooth-replacement that helps our Garland, TX patients smile again with confidence. If you can picture a suspension bridge, you have an idea of how a dental bridge works. Healthy teeth on either side of the space act as support, and suspend an artificial tooth called a pontic between them. The pontic sits in the open space to restore function and appearance to your smile.
The only requirement for getting a dental bridge is that the anchor teeth be strong and healthy enough to support the artificial tooth.
The process for getting a dental bridge is similar to getting a dental crown and typically takes place over two visits to Garland Grove Dentistry. If you want to replace missing teeth in Garland, TX, please call us for a dental appointment. We also offer full and partial dentures, dental implants, and implant-supported dentures.
Please Call to Schedule an Appointment
Don't let decayed, broken, or missing teeth compromise your smile and your self-confidence. Call Dr. Jung today to schedule an appointment, and we'll find the solution to restore your healthy smile.

Catonsville High's 23rd Anual Edible Art Show
April 25, 2017
April 4 marked Catonsville High School's 23rd annual edible art show, where students create various pieces and showcase them. There was only one rule for the art work: it has to be made entirely out of food.
Artists of all ages created their own artwork, whether it be sculpture, mosaic, or portrait that was creative and enticing to eat. Once everyone had set up their creations, attendees were allowed to vote for their favorites, and winners were called until all prizes had been given out. After that, everyone is allowed to eat any project they want.
Freshman Sydney Hogarth and Tori Rest won first place in the High School/Community category with their portrait of Snow White, made almost entirely of apples.
"We started our project at 3pm today; we had to make sure the apples wouldn't turn too brown before our project was judged. We saw the idea online and decided to try it ourselves; it turned out better than we thought!" described Rest.
Reeve Nyland, Sydney Brittingham, and Kathleen Prince created a piece of art that might look simple at first glance, but the meaning behind it is quite complex. These young Catonsville community members created a piece of art out of chocolate syrup that said "#Keelystrong31," followed by a heart decorated with sprinkles and marshmallows. Keely Horch is a 12 year old 6th grader at Arbutus Middle School who suffered a reaction to bacterial meningitis. After already undergoing brain surgery, Keely is currently staying at Kennedy Krieger Hospital.
"We've all been friends with Keely for a long time. We wanted to show our support for her and raise awareness about her cause…We love Keely!" Nyland explained.
Although most contestants were there of their own will, students who are in the CHS National Art Honors Society were required to enter the event. Many of their creations were very creative, demonstrating the artistic spirit which caused them to be in NAHS.
Twin sister NAHS members Hannah and Hayley Slask created an eye catching project that took them over two hours to complete.
"We decided to make a Maryland flag out of toast; our mom suggested it," described Hannah Slask.
Junior Zoe Waddell worked with sophomore Emily Ames to create a portrait of Phineas from the popular Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb. The two CHS students used tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, and olives to create the image.
"My project took me a half hour; I had to use scissors to cut my olives because I couldn't find a knife," Waddell expressed. "The Edible Art Show is a great opportunity to let students express themselves in a super creative way."
It is safe to say that this year's Edible Art Show was a success, and hopefully there will be many more to come.

Tropical golf 26/1
PSC Golf from Tropical Golf Group
Friday January 26, 2018, Crystal Bay – St
John, Tom, and Jim Sparkle at Crystal Bay
Wow, we are nearly finished with our first month of the New Year. Time marches on and speeds up. Its busy time at Tropical Golf, and today we had thirty-one golfers signed up for the trip to Crystal Bay. We had a rather early tee time, and as will be seen that was lucky. With the staff at BJ's Lodge bustling to get all golfers served, everyone loaded up and headed out before 08:00. For some troubles were just to begin.
The trip to CB always starts with the question "Sukhumvit or freeway"? Last time the freeway route was the loser, so this time a few "smart" drivers opted for Sukhumvit. Huge mistake! Due to construction delays it took over two hours to get to the course! Tee times were missed on a busy day, forcing the staff at CB to scramble to fit in groups well over an hour late. To their credit eventually all groups got underway, but on different nines. Lesson: If possible, always check traffic before heading out. Those that chose the "freeway made it on time" this day. More compliments to Crystal Bay in these times of rising prices, they have held firm at 1050 Baht to walk. The consensus is course condition would be considered "fair". A few greens were in need of repair but most were just fine. So how did the groups fare?
A-Flight (0-16): John Davis (c/h 13) kept his winning scores going with 36 points, winning on a narrow count-back over Rob Brown (10). Next "never gone for long" Brian Parish (11) had a fine 35 points, followed by Paul Sharples (16) taking final place on count-back.
B-Flight (17-22): Tom Herrington (17) posted the best score of the day with 39 points, followed by "messed up 18" Dick Warberg (19) with 37. Mick Coghlan (21) took the next spot with 33 points, and a surprised Paul Weatherley (20) took the final spot with 31 hard earned points.
C-Flight (23+): Jim Ferris (24) won his flight with 35 points, barely edging out Dave Cooper (23) and Karen Brown (38) at the 34 mark. Then the ever present Torsten Bishoff (26) took the final flight step with 30 points.
Best Nine (non winner): Visiting Arne Jorgensen and Takeshi Hakozaki won the best non-winning 9-hole scores.

I suffer from headaches daily (for nearly a year now - sometimes just annoying and sometimes pretty intense)-- the drs still have not determined the cause -- they started not long after I had tapered off the prednisone also. I recommend that you tell your dr about the headaches soon (as I've learned after all the testing I've been sent for) they may stem from a disturbance in your cortisol levels (this can happen as a result of being on prednisone), anemia "low iron", or a possible side affect to other medication -- quite common with Sulfasine (not sure of sp) I have been told. I am down on my last week or so tapering off the prednisone and my life has been one large headache these past couple of weeks. the pharmacist said it would improve in a few weeks and in my case since i was on the steroid so long it may even take a few months for my body's chemicals to balance back out. In my case - none of these -- but worth checking on. I experienced bad headaches almost on a daily basis for a couple of weeks when I was decreasing the amount of prednisone I was taking. I wake up with what feels like the worlds worst hangover but haven't been drinking. I have been sleeping in later because of the headaches but they haven't been going away. I have to keep telling myself that I am lucky that the prednisone took the flare up away because along with that pill I have had numerous other problems. I spoke with my doctor today and she believes it is not related! I usually don't get a lot of headaches so I'm pretty sure it was connected to me coming off of being on the steroids for about 2 months.

We're back… sort of!
Happy New Year!
I hope you enjoyed a restful, cosy Christmas and you're feeling ready to face 2019 head-on.
January always seems to me to be the worst possible time to make resolutions. I am usually fairly full of cheese by New Year's Day, so some sort of concession to vegetables and activity is essential – but is now really the right time to berate ourselves about what we could be doing better?
This year, I plan to think a bit differently and be a bit kinder to myself. Someone very wise told me recently that it's OK to give yourself a break sometimes. It's OK to take an hour out and do something just for yourself – and you don't need to feel guilty about it.
For me, that break involves a sweaty 60 minutes on the squash court. I had never played before this summer – but I bravely booked myself in for some lessons and discovered a new sport that I absolutely love. It's an hour each week that is completely mine: no business to run, no children to entertain, no one to please but myself. It's something that I look forward to for the other six days of the week, and something that I would try my absolute hardest not to miss.
How will you be kinder to yourself this year? I know that for some of you, flowers play a big part in boosting your mood – so why not promise yourself a little floral pick-me-up every now and again? I know, I know… this sounds like I am trying to sell you things again. But if flowers make you smile, have more of them in your life. Not necessarily from Gardenia (although ours are lovely) – but you could swap out that vegetable bed to make a cut flower garden, or head to the garden centre for a window box and stuff it full of cyclamen to keep you going through the dark days of winter.
When you think about it, it's not hard to find a way to brighten up life. We don't need resolutions; we just need a little bit more of what makes our heart sing. Let's make 2019 the year of being nice to ourselves. We deserve it.

Multiple sources have confirmed that Khloe Kardashian, 36, is four months into her pregnancy, expecting her first baby with 26-year-old NBA star boyfriend Tristan Thomson.
"Khloe is so happy you have no idea," a source told E! News.
The news comes within days of Khloe's younger sister Kylie's reported pregnancy with rapper, singer, songwriter boyfriend Travis Scott. With Kim and Kanye West also expecting their third child through surrogacy, we now have three Kardashian-Jenner siblings expecting to deliver within a month of each other, sometime early next year.
A source is believed to have confirmed to PEOPLE that Khloe and the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball star are, indeed, in the family way and are "thrilled" about the prospect of parenthood.
"This isn't something they were in a rush to announce to the whole world, and it's only been in just the past week or so that they've felt comfortable telling most of their inner circle," the source told PEOPLE.
Further substantiation came within hours of the news surfacing when E!News correspondent Ken Baker said on social media that he was "So happy to hear the news of Khloe K's pregnancy!"
PEOPLE's source went on to say that "Things were complicated a bit by Kylie's announcement as they don't want to be seen as intruding on that moment for her but it is now reaching a point where Khloe doesn't want to be openly lying to people, and just staying quiet isn't going to work anymore."
"This is something Khloe has wanted for years and years and yet it's more than that: she didn't want it unless she was in the right relationship for it," the source continued. "She never let it happen with Lamar, intentionally, and she never considered it with James or French or anyone else she has seen. But this is such a wonderful moment for her: not only is she going to be a mother, she is going to be raising a child with a man she truly loves. Everyone is over the moon for them both."
Khloe and Tristan have been in a relationship for a year now, having met on a blind date set up by a common friend back in September last year.
Speaking about her engagement rumors to "You" magazine in August this year, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star said, "I'm in the best relationship I've ever been in and it doesn't take a ring for me to feel that way."
Khloe also said in the "You" interview that she shared a common [religious] belief with Tristan and that it was important to her.
"Tristan and I are both Christians; we go to church, we pray, we're vocal about God and spirituality," she said. "A lot of my girlfriends get pregnant without talking about things such as religion with their significant others and then find they have different belief systems to them."
Khloe has made no bones about the fact that she and Tristan have been looking forward to starting a family together.
"He wants to have, like, five or six kids with me, and that's lovely," she said fondly of Tristan. "We could start at one and then grow from there. But now, knowing I'm not on birth control, it's really scary. It's like a really big step."
If there is any merit to the story, it will be Khloe's first child while Tristan has a nine-month-old son, Prince, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
While the Kardashians or Tristan may not have confirmed the report, they have neither denied it, which, in itself, is a kind of acknowledgment of the news – as many would like to believe.
Here are some of the reactions on social media
If Khloe Kardashian is pregnant y'all gotta stop with the mean jokes man. She's been trying so hard to have a baby. That child is a blessing

Golden Eaglets make history as the winners of 2013 FIFA Under 17 finals
Nigeria Under-17 team beat their Mexico counterparts in final of the 2013 FIFA Under -17 World Cup UAE 2013. They claimed the title and thus made history as the most successful nation in the Under-17 Category. This is the fourth time of winning the title since its inception in 1985.
The competition then named under -16 were held in China and Nigeria beat West Germany two nil in a tense affair. Sebastian Broderick's 1985 side showed traits exhibited by the current 2013 team. They had the technical skill, attacking trait, finishing touch, creativity and quick players to go with the tactical ability of the Coach Manu Garba. The only difference between the 1985 team and 2013 team is that current team showed their class right from the first match.
The Golden Eaglets started with 6-1 drumming of Mexico, who eventually recovered to reach final. The second group match against Sweden (who they met again in the Semi Final) ended in a draw. It was a tough match for the Nigerian team, as they were trailing 2-1 at half time and then later in the second half. It took a substitute Taiwo Awoniyi, who replaced Isaac Success in first half to draw level 3-3 in 81st minute. Taiwo Awoniyi showed his finishing quality with a double against Uruguay in the Quarter final.
In the final group game against Iraq, Golden Eaglets were back with a master class in finishing. They put 5 goals past the Iraq Under-17 team and this is on backdrop of 9 shots at goal. The goals scored by Musa
Muhammed,Chidiebere Nwakali, Musa Yahaya and finally by Chigozi Obasi showed not only strength in depth but the attacking trait all over the team.
As the group F winners, they met Iran runners up in group E in Round 16. It was another show of attacking strength, with a 4-1 score result. The match against Uruguay proved to be the most difficult, since the draw against Sweden. It started in typical fashion to previous matches.
Nigeria started brightly and took the lead in the 18th minute of the match. Taiwo Awoniyi started in place of Isaac Success, who was injured against a previous difficult match against Sweden. He latched on a wonderful through ball from Kelechi Ihenacho. Kelechi was the most creative influence in the Nigerian team and scored 5 goals. The two players combined in the 79th minute to put away Uruguay.
This quarter final match also showed the quality of the Nigerian Goal Keeper Dele Alampasu. He played in all the matches and in 630 minutes conceded 5 goals. The 3 goals were in the one match against Sweden and 1 each against Iran and Mexico. Dele was the calming influence for the defence and kept a clean sheet in 4 matches. The importance of his quality was also evident in the Semi Final against Sweden.
Nigeria took early lead in the Semi Final, similar to the Quarter Final and later in the Finals. However, there was a long period in between the first goal and the second goal. During this period, the opposition pushed forward looking to draw level. This made Nigeria to withstand a few goal threats, play on counter attack and rely on the Goal Keeper to save any slips.
Nigeria scored the second in the second half, after a succession of attacking plays from Uruguay. This pattern also occurred in the Semi Finals against Sweden and later in the Finals against Mexico. In the semi final, it was Taiwo Awoniyi who scored first goal and then defenders Samuel Okon in the 80th and forward player Chidera Ezeh in the 81th minute.
The final against Mexico was unexpected for most analysts. This was even after Mexico qualified from the group stages. They lost 6-1 to Nigeria in the first group match. They had to meet Brazil in the Quarter final, who showed their title potential in previous 4 matches. In the group phase, they won all 3 matches scoring 15 goals and conceding 2 goals.
However, it was a tight affair between Brazil and Mexico in the quarter final. The match ended in a draw after extra time and went into penalties with Mexico winning 11 -10. Therefore, Nigeria went into the final as favorites against Mexico. It started with a Nigeria showing attacking intent and took lead in the 9th minute through an own goal.
Nigeria continued the attacking intent with Musa Muhammed playing a captain's display and kelechi Iheanacho looking a likely scorer. He eventually scored in the 56th minute. He bounced on a shot that the Mexican Keeper Gudino simply parried in front of 6 yard box.
Then, Musa capped a wonderful match with the moment of the match and possibly of the tournament. He curled a free kick in top left corner. This was the moment that the Nigerian team, opposition team and their fans knew Nigeria have won the Final. Thus, made history as best nation in FIFA Under-17 Team.

The Pros and Cons of Consolidating Student Loans
By Ryan Laspina
Senior Specialist, Red Flags and External Reviews at APUS
Consolidating student loans is An option that Federal Student Aid (FSA) loan borrowers with multiple loans and lenders have. A consolidated loan groups all of your outstanding student loans into one lump-sum loan. This practice has both its advantages and disadvantages, and some of these pros and cons are explored below.
Pros of Consolidating Loans:
- A consolidated loan could turn 10 student loans into one large loan, which simplifies repayment, and eliminates multiple deadlines. Simpler is better when it comes to repayment, and eliminating deadlines will make it less likely that you will default on your student loans.
- Consolidating your school loans can produce some of the same benefits that refinancing a house or a car does; namely, you can get a lower interest rate than the original interest rates on your school loans. There is no guarantee, but it is more likely than not that a consolidated loan will have a lower interest rate. There are certain criteria you must meet to get lower interest rates, such as a good credit score. Make sure you talk to your loan servicer to see what the best option is for you.
Cons of Consolidating Loans:
- Consolidating your loans to get a lower interest rate may actually cost more in the long run. Sure, the interest payment each month could be lower, but you will probably be paying longer on the life of the loan. Lower interest rates usually only come with longer-term loans. On a monthly basis, this can lower your payment, but across the entire life of your loan, you may actually pay more than you would have if you did not consolidate.
Deciding whether you want to consolidate your student loans (assuming you have multiple loans and/or lenders) presents many factors to consider. While consolidated loans may simplify repayment, it could also cause you to lose certain benefits you had with other lenders. You can also usually get a lower interest rate if you consolidate your loans, but you may end up paying more in the long run. Make sure you understand all of these factors, and speak with your loan servicer to determine if consolidating is right for you.

The voices of women cooks in food markets in La Paz
Jorge Vladimir García, Marcelo Collao, Alejandro Guarín
Report/paper, 18 pages
Bolivian diets have changed significantly in recent years as a result of urbanisation, increased purchasing power, and changes in consumer preferences. Despite this, the food system in cities like La Paz is still based on traditional wholesale and retail markets. Popular dining areas, where cooked food is sold inside these markets, occupy an important place within this system as they enable people to access nutritious, affordable food, as well as keeping the country's culinary traditions alive. Nevertheless, the viability of these market dining areas is threatened by competition and by changes in consumption patterns.
This paper presents the results of research carried out together with women vendors in the dining areas of the Achumani and Obrajes markets in La Paz. Focusing on the voices of the women, through discussions and workshops, and through surveys conducted with customers, we gained valuable insights about the women's needs and concerns and about their customers' preferences.

Review Of "The Enchanted Sonata" By Heather Dixon Wallwork @SmithPublicity
Thank you Smith Publicity for gifting me a copy of this book, in exchange of an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I rate this book a 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
This is not my normal type of read, and because of that, I found myself putting off reading it. However, I did pick it up and I loved it! It was so rich, and lyrical. It had such a detailed and imaginative world, the worlds just flowed off the pages. I honestly felt like I needed to have The Nutcracker music playing while I read it.
I only wish I would have featured this, and review it during the Holiday season. However, a book this beautiful could be read and enjoyed any time of the year, and if you know anyone who loves The Nutcracker, or classical music, buy them this book! (Not to mention, It's FREE for Kindle Unlimited users)
I don't think I have read a book with such elegant, whimsical characters in a long while. This book was such a breath of fresh air. Now I need all the Heather Dixon Wallwork, especially if the covers are this gorgeous!

Although the Capitals were in engaged in a thrilling, back-and-forth battle of their own Tuesday night against the Maple Leafs, many of them had more than a passing interest in a game taking place in Columbus.
Why? Because the Blue Jackets' 3-1 victory over the Oilers extended their win streak to 16 games—one short of tying the 1992-93 Penguins' NHL record of 17 consecutive wins.
So when the Caps host the Jackets on Thursday night at Verizon Center, the game will mean much more two Metropolitan Division rivals crossing paths on a weekday night in January.
And Brooks Orpik can't wait.
"As soon as our game was over last night, guys were checking to see if they won or not," Orpik said after practice on Wednesday.
"We had it on. If anyone says they weren't [paying attention] they're lying because we had it on in the change room."
"As soon as we asked if they won or not, guys were like, 'I don't know, it said 2- 1 on the scoreboard during our game'," the veteran defenseman continued. "So guys were aware of it. It's something fun to watch. Everybody was paying attention to [Columbus'] game against Minnesota the other night to see who would win that one. It's a little extra challenge."
Indeed, the Blue Jackets present challenges all over the ice. They're a league best 27-5-4. Their power play is ranked No. 1 at 28.3-percent. They're allowing fewer goals than anyone else (2.03 per game) and are scoring more goals (3.44 per) than anyone other than Sidney Crosby and the Penguins (3.45).
Coach Barry Trotz said he considers Thursday's game to be a good measuring stick for his team, especially given the way the last two meetings between the clubs ended.
On Nov. 15 in Columbus, the Jackets rallied for a 2-1 win in overtime. Then, five days later, Nicklas Backstrom was whistled for high sticking Jackets captain Nick Foligno, who threw his head back despite the fact that Backstrom's stick did not contact his face. Columbus scored on the ensuing power play with 54 seconds remaining to steal two points.
"I think our guys are up to the challenge," said Trotz, whose team has won three in a row and is 10-2-3 in their last 15 games.
"This is a team that's leading the league. They're a team that I think both games were very competitive that we played. …I think guys look at it as they like the competition and I think it will be something that good pros look and go, 'They're a good team, so are we and let's see what happens.'"
Said Daniel Winnik: "We lost in OT against them and then the very phantom high stick call that they scored with a minute something left on the power play. It's going to be a good test for us."
Lars Eller said the chance to end the streak will add some juice to the game. But the veteran center also feels the November losses should provide the primary motivation.
"I think it should be a good motivational factor for us," he said. "But even more so, the biggest motivation for us is the last two games. We felt like we let points slip through our hands too easily when we should have closed the game. That's probably the biggest thing."
Orpik added: "We had two pretty good games against them earlier in the year that I think we felt like we were in good position to win and we kinda let it slip away against them. So hopefully tomorrow night will be similar to those two. …It's always a good measuring stick, especially a team that's going this well right now."

Big fires brought a lovely campfire musk to the valley this morning.
The wind started to clear it out, while we waited we stopped by the barber to get a shave
And check out this sweet wagon!
Also I didn't realize this but Salt Lake City had a USGS station and observatory in the 1860's. I think its fascinating in the current culture of Science v Religion that it was important enough to the Christian settlers of the valley to set up a celestial observatory along with accurate time keeping. They were checking in on the moons of Jupiter and tracking their orbits in between shifts of building a temple.
"What a glorious field of intelligence now lies before us, yet but partially explored. What a boundless expanse for contemplation and reflection now opens to our astonished vision. What an intellectual banquet spreads itself invitingly to our appetite, calling into lively exercise every power and faculty of the mind, and giving full scope to all the great and ennobling passions of the soul. . . . All the virtuous principles of the human mind may here expand and grow, and flourish, unchecked by any painful emotions or gloomy fears."

Throughout the years, social media has become a necessity rather than a want, as it is continuously made to improve our lives. As people say, everything is one click away when you use internet. Distance becomes less of a sore to families who are far from each other because of video calls and chats that social media offers.
But sometimes instead of making it your stress-reliever, social media has molded into a form of stress because of the toxic things that people are posting. Because of that we listed different types of toxic people online and ways on how to get rid of them.
The Dramatic One
These are the people who post their feelings online non-stop! The most annoying part is when you try to ask them what's wrong and they reply with "Hindi wala 'to," which seems contradictory as to why they decided to share their woes online when they won't even entertain help. They only want your empathy, sympathy and support–but not your advice!
To get rid of them, don't ever bother to ask them of their state or if you genuinely care for that person, ask them personally because we all know that personal problems require personal conversation and not public attention. Try not to get too involved with their drama because it's a trap and a non-stop loop – you don't want that kind of problem to tend too. Best tip: ignore them and continue scrolling.
Mr. Know-It-All
These are the people who are very vocal about politics online. There's nothing wrong in being knowledgeable on the things that happen around our country but sometimes, instead of enlightening others, the debates online become a source of stress. Usually they are biased and have their own beliefs they can't let others disagree upon.
To get rid of these kind of people on your feed, start a healthy conversation with them and if they start acting up, simply end the conversation. Try to converse with them intellectually and point out the pros and cons of their argument but this part is tricky because either they will accept it or they will just negate everything you will say. Best tip: let them be and set them as an example of what you shouldn't be.
The War Freak
War freaks are also known as 'keyboard warriors.' These are the vengeful people behind "hater comments". Constructive criticism is not in their vocabulary. They rant about anything under the sun.
To avoid having your day ruined, unfriend them. Watch your unhealthy online environment improve without them lurking. Best tip: call them out once, if you can, and try to talk to them about their toxicness – if this doesn't work, let them be.
The People Who Think It's Always Summer
Coming from the title itself, these are the people who can't help but post every single bikini photo of themselves. It's not bad when you really worked hard to achieve that body and your only goal is to inspire other people. But when it's obvious that you are just in it for the attention, it does get annoying.
To avoid getting a whiff of their vanity, block or unfollow them and just look for other online inspirations. Focus on improving yourself and don't get too discouraged by seeing how well they look – or so they want people to think. Best tip: work your ass off and post a picture that will swoon your followers and friends.
The Ultimate Share-r
Remember those post that suggest you should share a certain picture for "goodluck" or "to pass exams"? These posts bait on the ultimate sharers. Sure, it's humorous and sometimes hopeful to share such photos, but being flooded with their shared posts on our feed can get aggravating.
The sad thing is, there's no way you can avoid them especially if you're friends. Just disregard their posts and pray for longer patience. Best tip: do not share any of these posts, instead advice your friends that these posts are useless if they don't do anything to pass that exam or make efforts to change their lives.
The Fire Starter
These are the people who prefer to create issues online instead of talking to the person they have an issue with personally. Whether or not you're the target victim, remember not to snap back. If you feel that you are the person they are pertaining to, talk to them face-to-face.
An issue is hardly resolved online. Mainly the reason why people loves the attention they get when they post online about a personal fight or argument – knowing someone relates or has your back ignites that person's ego. Best tip: talk to that person if you know them closely, if not, just observe and do not engage to any conversation – it might get messy.
The Complainers
These are the people who love complaining about anything that is happening within the society – may it be about the government, their neighbor, or just things about their lives they couldn't seem to accept. This gets on your nerves especially when they post every hour – worse, when they get too caught up and post every 10 minutes. May it be about traffic, job workloads, gas price hike – please limit yourselves naman sa pag-aamok.
Let's face it, everyone deals with their own problems and issues in life and majority of us have access online. But that doesn't give us the privilege to post all our complaints and rants in life, for everyone to see and assess because most of them simply don't care. Best tip: unfriend, unfollow – just get that away from your screen, newsfeed, etc.
The "Angel-in-Disguise"
These are the people who love to post quotes from the Bible or any sacred activities online. They seem to look like goody-two-shoes but in real life? They don't even get near a church! Stop this hypocrisy.
This is very frustrating especially if you are a firm believer of your faith. You might even feel offended if you know what that person's real attitude or actions in real life – truly contradicting than what they're posting about. Best tip: talk to that person nicely and ask them to stop spreading the word of God if they can't even control the words coming out from their mouths – again, NICELY.
The "Jealous-Judgmental"
Here are your friends online who clearly don't know how to be contented and appreciative of what they have. They are the ones who notice others new relationship status, new branded bag or shoes, or any new posts about other's lives. Be careful, you may not know you are the one they're being jealous about.
Some people just love making it a habit to stalk or keep track with other people's lives and brood online of how perfect and put together theirs compared to the one they currently have. This is why you pity them somehow for what they're doing to their selves. Best tip: if you are close to them, reassure them of how wonderful they life is and tell them to stop comparing and judging other's lives – it won't make them any better.
Fake News Providers
Top of the list, no doubt. The mighty fake news believers and sharers that are very much rampant all over the Internet. Even some of your friends on Facebook do share them because of manipulative headlines and images. Hoax websites are wide-spread and if you are not careful enough, you might even get victimized by their news.
News is a kind of supplement everyone expose themselves upon, especially online, and it is disappointing to read fake ones, mocking issues, people, and events happening within the society. It is ones prerogative to double check a news they've read if it's real or not. Best tip: if you see a fake news shared by someone, comment a link to a credible one and let their eyes be opened to what the truth is.

|Trinidad & Tobago
|Stern John (30')
Stern John (65')
|The Hawthorns
|West Bromwich, England
Stern sinks Iraq
|Trinidad and Tobago striker Stern John had mixed emotions yesterday evening at the Hawthorns Stadium.
John's double guided Trinidad and Tobago to a 2-0 win over Iraq and brought his international tally to within three strikes of the 50-goal mark.
But his expulsion for violently reacting to a crude Emad Aoda tackle contributed to a nervous closing 25 minutes for the Caribbean tourists.
"It was real uncharacteristic for me," said the Birmingham City striker. "I am disappointed with myself and I apologised to the guys after."
It was a bittersweet afternoon for the men in red, white and black strip.
For the third time in four internationals since Bertille St Clair was appointed head coach in January, it was his assistant, Ron La Forest, who took charge after St Clair complained about feeling unwell.
La Forest, a former Joe Public and national youth team coach, also presided over a win and draw respectively away to Bermuda and was happy to maintain his good form on the bench.
"This victory means a lot for us," La Forest told the Trinidad Express, "because we are just getting our campaign started and it gives us something to carry forward."
In retrospect, the Iraqis were perfect opponents.
Purposeful, steady and blunt, the Middle Eastern outfit forced the "Soca Warriors" to work hard but lacked the quality to break them down.
Reports that the outing against T&T was their first since the United States invasion were wide of the mark.
Although their domestic competition is suspended, Iraq, who are ranked 43rd in the world, have already started their 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign and played three times this year including a 2-0 defeat to Japan in Tokyo.
Their under-23 squad has also booked a place in the 2004 Olympic Games.
Iraq started the match positively and striker Hussam Fawzi shot wide in the 12th minute following a Mahdi Karim through pass, which deceived T&T sweeper Ian Cox.
It was a rare error from the 33-year-old England-born central defender who made his debut four years ago under St Clair.
His agility and composure proved an adequate foil for the uncompromising Scotland-based defensive pair of Brent Sancho and Marvin Andrews.
At the interval, La Forest switched to a back four and pushed Cox into a defensive midfield role and the transition was seamless.
It was not nearly as fluent up front where John and North East Stars striker Jerren Nixon did not look as though they were in the same time zone let alone the same squad.
Still, the two strikers combined for the opener in the 30th minute.
A deft release from another returning veteran Arnold Dwarika, who now plays for Chinese club Beijing Guoan, sent Nixon clear and, as he dribbled Iraqi custodian Saad Nassir, the ball rolled obligingly for John to fire home.
There was a penalty shout, three minutes before the interval, when the Iraqis complained that Andrews used his arm to charge down an effort from Qusai Hashim.
But the Warriors never looked like conceding despite the vociferous backing of the Iraqi supporters who dwarfed the Caribbean contingent in the audience of 1,464 spectators.
Twenty minutes into the second half, John doubled the advantage with another clinical finish after a Dwarika pass.
Dwarika had joined John upfront by that stage as La Forest restructured the outfit at the interval.
New Southampton signing, Kenwyne Jones, replaced Nixon for his debut in central midfield-he got his first international taste under Hannibal Najjar-while England-born teenager Andre Bocaud also got his first cap after swapping places with the tidy Kerwin Jemmott.
By then, La Forest had changed 3-5-2 to a 4-4-2 system that offered more security on either flank.
Then came John's rush of blood.
Referee Mark Halsey, an experienced English Premier League official, had already whistled for an infringement on the striker when he took matters into his own hands.
John insisted that he pushed Aoda in the chest although the defender grabbed his face and rolled as though he was punched.
La Forest responded to the setback by introducing lanky stopper Dennis Lawrence and bustling left back Marlon Rojas as T&T switched to five defenders to preserve their advantage.
At the final whistle, a satisfied La Forest and technical director Lincoln "Tiger" Phillips had few complaints.
"Obviously we are just building so we are not on top of our game just yet," said Phillips. "But I think we are improving We kept the ball more and I think our defence was quite good."
He would hope to carry their form into their next outing against Scotland on May 30.

My turning point: From depression to true purpose
My upbringing was generally happy; the shocker for me was when, aged 28, I found out my mum had a history of depression and mental illness.
I discovered this the day she went missing from her home in Kingston, Surrey, and a policeman, clutching her suicide note, asked if she had 'done anything silly' before? I answered 'no', but my dad said 'yes'.
Growing up, my family was stereotypically British. The stiff upper lip ruled, nobody cried and emotions stayed hidden, which explains why mum was unable to process her feelings and silently suffered from bouts of depression – initially postnatally and, later, during a hormonally troublesome menopause.
It wasn't until the day mum failed to arrive at a friend's house, that dad revealed she had been hospitalised with depression twice: first a few months after I was born and, again, four years later, after trying to commit suicide following the birth of my sister, Anna.
The truth, though, was my mum wasn't battling depression alone. By the time she disappeared, I'd also been battling depression for years.
A highly successful recruitment consultant in the City, where binge-drinking – and later, cocaine use – was the norm, I was stuck in a work-hard, play-hard culture, where drink was just a way to escape from being unfulfilled at work and, like mum, I was disconnected from my emotions, alcohol conveniently numbed any feelings, especially stress.
Over time, I was pushing myself to the brink, physically and emotionally. Despite a few token sessions with a therapist, my lifestyle didn't change. The penny didn't drop until the day mum went missing and I found her slumped beside a river. She had overdosed.
As I sprinted to the ambulance, my body was heaving. I smoked, drank and was overweight and in that split second I knew my life had to change.
It sounds strange, but I felt like I was being guided by something more powerful, my Higher Self, and I remember thinking, 'I don't want to live my life like this.' I'd had a reading with a psychic not long before, who had told me things would get worse before they got better and, in that moment, I made a commitment to do something about it.
I went cold turkey on drink and drugs to break the cycle, sought counselling to combat my addiction and through The Yes Group, a personal development organisation for entrepreneurs, I made friends with people who didn't drink regularly.
This made me realise I had become a product of my environment and so I quit my job.
Eight years ago, I set up the European division of the Association of Transformational Leaders, a non-profit network of inspiring people dedicated to transforming the lives of others.
Last year, I launched the Kitty Talks podcast where these change-makers share their journeys. The podcast shows people how to build a life in alignment with their soul purpose and is growing in popularity. So far, it has downloaded in 50 countries.
I've realised that doing something fulfilling truly makes a difference. I'm now a qualified neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) practitioner and reiki master, which has also opened me up spiritually. I know I am here to help others grow and to show people they are more powerful than they have been taught.
My journey has changed my family too; we're now open books of emotion. Mum has sworn she'll never bottle up her feelings again.
I remember in my 20s feeling disappointed my life wasn't how I wanted. It took 10 years, but I'm now clear why I'm here. My favourite quote is by the great German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: 'Magic is believing in yourself.' Do this and you can do anything.
