Maurice Hooker: "If He Stays At 147, I Would Love To Fight Danny Garcia"
By: Hans Themistode
It simply wasn't the night Maurice Hooker was hoping for.
With the 32-year-old looking to make a big splash during his welterweight debut, Hooker attempted to halt the hype train of rising contender Vergil Ortiz Jr. The two battled it out in front of a mostly pro-Ortiz crowd in Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas in 2021.
Despite Ortiz Jr. being known as a huge puncher, Hooker attempted to fight fire with fire, routinely meeting his younger and stronger opponent in the middle of the ring. Although he had his moments, Hooker would ultimately come up short, losing via seventh-round stoppage but citing a hand injury as the primary result.
Though he's been spending his time sequestered on the sidelines, Hooker plans on not only returning to action soon but in a perfect world, he knows exactly whom he would face next.
"I would love to fight Danny Garcia but I think he's about to move 154 now," said Hooker during an interview with BoxingInsider.com. "If he stays at 147, I would love to make that happen. I would love to fight Danny Garcia. He's a good fighter, he was one of the best at 140 and that's a fight we can make happen."
Garcia, a former two-division world champion, has remained out of the ring since losing a lopsided decision against unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. in December of 2020. Following his failed attempt at another world title, Garcia has heavily considered a move up in weight. With the Philadelphian unwilling to hang up his gloves before winning gold in a third weight class, a move to 154 pounds is in his immediate future.
If, however, Garcia were willing to put his plans on hold and remain in the welterweight division, Hooker is putting his name first in line if Garcia is in need of an opponent at 147 pounds.
Terence Crawford On Vergil Ortiz Jr. Calling Him Out: "He Really Don't Want Me"
Terence Crawford was a bit stunned as he watched his stablemate Maurice Hooker succumb to a seventh-round stoppage defeat at the hands of Vergil Ortiz Jr. last night.
The WBO welterweight belt holder was even more surprised by what took place soon after.
Immediately following Ortiz Jr.'s win, he grabbed the microphone and proceeded to call out Crawford for a showdown later on this year.
While most of the boxing world began wondering how a contest between those two would play out, Crawford simply brushed off Ortiz Jr.'s comments. According to the pound-for-pound star, Ortiz Jr. was merely following the same script that many fighters do.
"He really don't want me," said Crawford following Ortiz Jr.'s win. "That's just the thing to do, call for the fighters that's at the top."
Despite Crawford believing that Ortiz Jr. won't knock on his door for a possible showdown, the 22-year-old has reiterated on numerous occasions that he will in fact pursue the Nebraska native. Currently, Ortiz Jr. ranks number two in the WBO sanctioning body.
Although most are under the impression that he is a bit too inexperienced to make the leap, the Dallas native is firmly under the belief that the fashion in which he handled Hooker should prove to the world that in actuality, he is ready.
Coming into his showdown against Hooker, many pegged the young contender to stop his man at some point during their match. Hooker, on the other hand, would hear none of it.
Early on, the former 140-pound champion used his height and movement to somewhat befuddle his younger opponent. Though he found moments of success, they were few and far between as Ortiz Jr. began breaking him down.
A sixth-round knockdown was the beginning of the end and the following round sealed it.
In what appeared to be a bit of a whacky play, Hooker landed a shot on the top of the head of Ortiz Jr. and immediately grabbed his hand in pain and took a knee. Referee Laurence Cole waved off their contest soon after.
Officially, Hooker was down considerably on all three judge's scorecards. Yet in the mind of Crawford, their matchup was a close call.
"It was a good fight, Mo (Maurice Hooker) broke his hand but both of them did good. Vergil was slowing down but Mo got caught with a couple of good body shots that slowed him down too."
Unlike some of his counterparts who choose to insult their possible future opponents in an effort to drum up interest for a feasible showdown, Crawford refused to bash the young star. The former three-division world champion simply tipped his cap and praised his efforts.
"He's doing his thing and he's doing what he's supposed to do. I got nothing negative to say about the dude."
Maurice Hooker: "Everybody Overlooking Me"
At this point, Maurice Hooker has lost track.

For most of his ten-year career, Hooker believes he has walked into the boxing ring with little to no one firmly in his corner. With undefeated knockout artist Vergil Ortiz Jr. taking him on at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, tomorrow night, it neither surprises nor upsets him that he is considered a sizable underdog.
Despite being a former world champion, Hooker knows that many are banking on Ortiz Jr. to score the knockout win. In his opinion, however, those who doubt him may want to avoid watching what he does this Saturday night.
"I'm okay with it," said Hooker during an interview with Fight Hub TV. "Everybody overlooking me. I'm prepared for this and ready to go in there and upset a lot of people."
Presently, Ortiz Jr. is pegged as one of the bright young stars in the sport of boxing. His 100% knockout ratio has positioned him as the number two contender in the WBO welterweight sanctioning body. Currently, pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford holds that title. Should he win, both Ortiz Jr. and his promoter Oscar De La Hoya, have expressed an interest in making that fight happen next.
Hooker, on the other hand, believes they are wasting their breath even mentioning a Crawford showdown. After spending a good portion of his training camp sparring and discussing a game plan with the aforementioned Crawford, Hooker maintains that Ortiz Jr. will never get his chance to face him.
Regardless of Hooker losing his 140-pound title to Jose Ramirez in 2019, he is under the impression that the best is still yet to come.
"I'm anxious man. I'm ready to get in there and show the world why I'm still one of the best in the world."
While Hooker claims that he pays little to no attention to the odds, the Dallas, Texas product has a difficult time understanding their reasoning.
Granted, Ortiz Jr. has annihilated everyone he has walked into the ring with, including his most recent opponent, Samuel Vargas. Yet for Hooker, he has several key advantages, the most glaring of them all, a ten-inch reach.
That, paired with his experience at the world class level, has the former belt holder incredulous that most are giving him no shot at winning.
"My skills, height and everything. I have all the advantages. A lot of people are going to be upset."
Robert Garcia Reveals The Immediate Plans Of Vergil Ortiz: "If Everything Goes Well In The Hooker fight, We Want Crawford Next"
Legally, Vergil Ortiz is barely allowed to drink liquor. However, that isn't stopping his current trainer in Robert Garcia from believing his man is ready to face who many believe is the best fighter in the world.
"We are going after Crawford," said Garcia during an interview with Little Giant Boxing. "That's the fight we're going after right now. I think Vergil is ready."
Obtaining a fight with Crawford, the WBO 147 pound champion, could be much easier than many anticipate due to Ortiz (16-0, 16 KOs) ranking number two in the sanctioning body. But while a win over Crawford would stun the boxing world, the Dallas native has a major roadblock standing in his way in the form of one-time 140 champion Maurice Hooker.
The two are scheduled to meet in the main event slot at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas on March 20th. Hooker, 31, is considered by far the toughest fight of Vergil's career. A win is far from guaranteed, but if Vergil can pull it off, Garcia believes his welterweight contender would be in the best position possible to land a shot at Crawford.
"If everything goes well in the Hooker fight, we want Crawford next. Vergil is already ranked in the top two in the rankings, something like that. Golden Boy and Top Rank have been working together and doing championship fights together so I think it's the easiest fight to make."
After spending years facing what many would consider less than stellar opposition, Crawford is now staring down the barrel of a long line of several top contenders. Outside of a possible showdown with Ortiz, Crawford is rumored to be in the running to face either eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao or former two-time 147-pound belt holder, Shawn Porter. The pound-for-pound star was last seen in the ring roughly four months ago.
In an empty MGM Grand arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Crawford delivered a one-sided beating to former champion Kell Brook, dropping and later stopping the British native in the fourth round.
Oscar De La Hoya: "Vergil Ortiz Will Beat Anybody At 147 Right Now"
Things can change immensely in a short time span. COVID-19 has proven that statement to be true as most of the world is still adjusting to life with the infectious disease. In the case of rising welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz, he's proving that his professional career is also changing in just the blink of an eye.
After winning ESPN's boxing prospect of the year in 2019, Ortiz now finds himself on the fast track to a world title as he takes on former belt holder Maurice Hooker on March 20th, in his hometown Dallas area. While Ortiz is solely focused on convincing everyone that he is truly a player at 147-pounds, promoter Oscar De La Hoya doesn't need to be convinced any longer.
Although he might be just 22-years-old, De La Hoya has sat ringside at nearly every single one of the Dallas native's fights and has witnessed body after body crumple in agony after getting blasted by his young star. Not only is De La Hoya under the impression that Ortiz will get past Hooker in roughly two months but he ultimately believes that no matter who is placed in front of him, the results will be the same.
"When you think about Vergil Ortiz, he has to be the best fighter out there at 147, or any in weight class for that matter," said De La Hoya during a recent press conference. "I've said this all along, Vergil Ortiz will beat anybody at 147 right now."
In the case of Hooker, he'll present a much sterner test for Ortiz than what he has grown accustomed to. Not only has the 31-year-old former titlist faced fighters similar to Ortiz and managed to walk right through them but he'll also have every physical advantage checked on his side of the boxes, including a ridiculous ten-inch reach over his man.
All of those reasons and more, have led De La Hoya to having a few restless nights as he admits it won't be a walk in the park.
"I think Hooker has the advantage. He's going to present to Vergil different movements, footwork, speed and mannerisms. They're all totally different than what Vergil has been used to fighting. He's fast, explosive and very elusive – it's going to be different for Vergil. The question is will he pass that test? Will he knock Hooker out? Vergil Ortiz has been knocking everybody out so we want to see Vergil go several rounds."
With Hooker holding the upper hand in nearly every category other than youth, many have questioned why on earth would De La Hoya place his young and quite possibly brightest star, in harm's way with only 16 fights under his belt? For the former multiple division champion, however, he views the number of fights that Ortiz has accrued during his career as just that, merely a number.
Once upon a time, De La Hoya was in the same position as Ortiz. Just like the 2014 Hall of Famer managed to pass several tests placed in front of him at a young age, De La Hoya believes both he and Ortiz are cut from the same cloth. Should his young star leave the ring with another explosive victory on the night, then he'll be well on his way to superstardom.
"I fought for my first world title when I had 11 fights. I believe Vergil Ortiz is on the verge of becoming a superstar. I think skies the limit if he gets past Hooker."
Maurice Hooker vs Vergil Ortiz Jr. Officially Set To Take Place On March 20th In Dallas Texas
The Dallas Texas area will be split right down the middle come March 20th.
Former 140 pound WBO belt holder Maurice Hooker and current welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz Jr., are officially set to clash from their respective Dallas hometown with a chance to take a big step forward in their careers.
For Hooker, his upcoming showdown against Ortiz Jr. will represent his first in his new weight class. Originally, the former Jr welterweight champion was expected to take on a much lesser foe in order to get his feet wet in his newly joined division. However, with Ortiz Jr. currently holding the distinction as one of boxing's hottest prospects, the 31-year-old views a matchup with Ortiz Jr. as a no brainer.
"I've never been one to shy away from a fight," said Hooker. "The decision to fight Ortiz was an easy one as it allows me to prove to the world something that I already know, that I'm one of the best welterweights in the world. I have a new team around me who has taken my game to a whole new level, and I feel amazing at this weight class. I can't wait to put on a show for all the fans on March 20. Dallas, get ready."
While Hooker might be brimming with confidence, Ortiz Jr. feels the exact same way. Although he has yet to face anyone the caliber of Hooker, the soon to be 23-year-old has sent a statement to the welterweight division each and every time he has stepped foot inside of the ring. With none of his 16 career contests making it past the seventh round, Ortiz Jr. is not only excited to be facing someone that he has known most of his life but also someone that he knows will fight fire with fire.
"First and foremost, I'm really grateful to be fighting back at home again," said Ortiz Jr. "Not only that, but I'll be fighting another Dallas native in Maurice Hooker. I've known Hooker since back in the amateur days. I know we're going to give the fans back at home a fight to remember."
Maurice Hooker Opens Up on Failed Regis Prograis Fight Negotiations: "He's a Coward, I Will Slap That Dude"
The 2020 boxing schedule was turned upside down the moment COVID-19 announced it's presence. Contests such as Deontay Wilder vs Tyson Fury 3 and Teofimo Lopez vs Vasiliy Lomachenko were thought to be impossible to make until at least 2021. Thankfully for fans though, promoter Bob Arum assured the public that those contests will in fact take place.
Wilder vs Fury has a tentative date of mid December, while Lomachenko vs Lopez is currently eyed for September 19th.
Unlike those newly rescheduled matchups, a contest between former 140 pound champions in Regis Prograis and Maurice Hooker, which was originally set to take place on April 17th, at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, has gone by the wayside.
A matchup between the two former belt holders was amongst the most anticipated contests of the pre COVID-19 year. Plans to salvage the bout via a closed door event was recently discussed between both parties.
However, discussions never materialized into a new fight date as constant back and forth bickering over weight closed negotiations early.
Prograis immediately pointed the finger at his opponent, claiming that Hooker wasn't "professional" amongst other choice words.
Now that their contest is dead in the water, Hooker has opened up about exactly what happened.
"I decided to move up to 147," said Hooker on FightHub. "In my last two or three fights I've been having trouble making 140. Me making 140 takes a big toll on me on fight night. So I decided to move up to 147. I told Regis and them and he was just like he's not going up to 147. So he said let's do it at 144 and I told him that's still too low. But he just kept trying to call shots like he's Floyd Mayweather or something."
"We both don't have a belt so we can fight at whatever weight we want to. I told him let's do 145 and he just kept saying nah 144 so I just left it alone. If you really want to fight me then you'll just come up to 145. What's one more pound? He really don't want to fight."
For Hooker, the back and forth discussion over weight was pointless. Making the 140 pound limit was taking a "big toll" on the 6 ft former champions body. And while 145 pounds wouldn't be easy, Hooker was willing to acquiesce for one reason and one reason only.
"I'm willing to die making weight, just so I can get my hands on him," explained Hooker. "I just want to beat the guy."
Animosity in the boxing world is often manufactured as a way to sell tickets to the viewing public. But in the case of Hooker and Prograis, the genuine dislike for one another is as real as it gets.
"I will slap the shit out of that dude," said Hooker. "He's a coward. When he sees me in person he's going to shut up, he won't say shit. I promise he won't say shit because I will slap that dude. When he sees me he better keep that same energy. And if he do, I'm a slap him."
With their contest officially in the rear view mirror, fans can only imagine how things would have played out. For Hooker though, he doesn't have to assume how their matchup was going to unfold. It's clear as day for the former title holder.
"I was going to stop him. I was going to hurt him."

1000 Words: Hollywood Goes Fishing
This week in Hollywood Goes Fishing we get a really cool studio action shot of the lovely Jean Simmons, in promotion of the 1954 film She Couldn't Say No. The plot of the movie is predictably corny -- Simmons plays a wealthy woman who's life was saved by a small community who pitched in for a surgery she needed while a child, and who returns as an adult and falls for local doctor Robert Mitchum. There is a neat fishing scene in this movie, as evidenced by the photo.
Simmons was a London born actress who acted steadily from the late 1940s through the 1980s. A versatile actress, she is probably best known for her turn as Sarah Brown in the 1955 hit Guys and Dolls, for which she won a Golden Globe. During her long career she was nominated for two Academy Awards and five Golden Globes. She also won an Emmy Award for The Thorn Birds. She died in 2010 at the age of 80.

Ryan O'Neal believes Tatum O'Neal and his family are the reason Farrah Fawcett got cancer - VIDEO
The 70-year-old actor - who has four children, daughter Tatum, and sons Griffin and Patrick from previous relationships, and son Redmond with Farrah - was devastated when his long-term partner lost her battle with the disease in June 2009 and thinks his fractured relationship with his children caused her undue stress, triggering the illness as her life was otherwise healthy.
He said: "What bothers me the most is that there was turmoil during my love affair with Farrah. A lot of it caused by my family, by my kids. All of them. Particularly Tatum. That I just think that if she had never met us, would she still be alive today?
"Because nobody knows what causes cancer, do they really? And she didn't smoke. And she didn't drink. She exercised every day. And she believed in her good health. And then we came along. The four of us. And gradually she got weaker. I don't know. I think it's highly possible. I wasn't able to straighten out the mess that we were in and we sucked her in."
Ryan is still struggling to come to terms with Farrah's death and revealed he often has to talk Redmond - who has a history of substance abuse and has spent time in jail on drugs charges - out of wanting to commit suicide.
In an interview on CNN show 'Piers Morgan Tonight', he revealed: "You know, Farrah was a very strong presence in my life. So strong. She permeated my mind and my being. She still does.
"I hear songs that we loved and it stabs me and brings her back. And I'm OK with that. I had somebody that I loved.
"And I have a son who struggles with his life because he's tempted to join her, and he's 26. He's tempted to go because he misses her so much. And he feels he shamed himself so much. And it's tricky.
"It's crazy. I say to him that's not what she wants. She wants you to have a wonderful life. Live it for her. She doesn't want you to join her. And he agrees, but I'm not sure he does. He just says he agrees."

Exela Technologies (XELA)
Source: Have a nice day Photo/Shutterstock
Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) is a global business process automation and information management solutions provider. Headquartered in Texas, Exela serves more than 4,000 customers in over 50 countries. Its platform enables customers to automate manual processes, improve data quality and compliance, and reduce costs. One company that constantly comes up when discussing penny stocks is Exela Technologies.
Why? Exela Technologies is in a good position right now. It has secured some big contract victories recently. Exela's Exchange for Bills and Payments segment contracted an order with a total value of $136 million in June. The same division secured a three-year, $18.3 million deal, which started accruing in the third quarter of 2022.
The company has high debt levels, which poses a problem for investors. However, Exela Technologies has done well in the last few quarters, paring debt substantially. Investors should pay attention to whether the debt-EBITDA ratio will continue to lessen.
One of the brightest spots for Exela is DrySign, a proprietary e-signature platform. DrySign enables organizations to sign documents with high security and compliance electronically. Exela is well-positioned to continue its growth in this market, which is expected to grow to $42 billion by 2030.
Exela's growth has been slowing in recent years. Blame it on intensifying competition, slower-than-expected adoption of its products, and uncertain macroeconomic conditions. However, the company has made some progress in adapting its business model to the new realities of the global business process automation software market. It is now well-positioned to capitalize on the secular tailwinds driving demand for its solutions.

FlexShopper (FPAY)

FlexShopper (NASDAQ:FPAY) is an upcoming fintech company proving to be a great challenger in the current market. Its principal business is lease-to-own furniture, which is gaining ground as consumers become affected by inflation. Its lease-to-own offerings are an appealing and practical solution because they provide a way to get the furniture without breaking the bank.
The percentage of consumers using financing or leasing programs has increased dramatically in the past year. A recent survey of 2,688 consumers in the U.S. found that nearly 58% used a financing or leasing program when buying durable goods within the past year. With inflation remaining at its highest rate in decades, the trend will not change anytime soon.
The latest results from FlexShopper illustrate the company is doing very well due to these trends. Analysts expected a loss of 5 cents per share for the second quarter, and the company blew past those numbers with a 51-cent profit. Revenues of $36.55 million also outpaced analyst estimates of $32.08 million.
Its recent performance is driven by several tailwinds. These include rising demand for its lease-to-own services, a favorable product mix and inflation. Given the company's strong fundamentals and favorable industry trends, FlexShopper is in a great position to grow in the quarters ahead.

Volcano music scribes tell you where to go

POP ROCK the reaching
I'm going to go ahead and admit something. I love Coldplay. There, I said it, and I feel better for getting that off my chest. I guess the reason I have a soft spot for the pop rockers stems from my affection for the Fab Four. Apparently I'm not alone in my admiration for Chris Martin and company as Seattle's own The Reaching construct songs in a similar fashion to the new darlings of London.
Formed just under 11 months ago, the quartet of Kyle McGuire (guitar), Mark Blaney (bass/vocals), Ericka Wallace (drums) and Jake McVay (keys/guitar/vocals) cleverly mix electronica with organic for a sound that is similar to early Radiohead. With inventive and complex guitar riffs and bass lines, they have a definite U2 vibe and are lyrically as prolific as Bono. They have only three tracks posted on their MySpace but they are all brilliantly produced and radio-ready. No full-length to promote yet, but they are currently in the studio with an expected release date of mid-2008.
Despite all my comparisons, The Reaching are unquestionably original and are a refreshing change of pace from the bevy of metal and punk bands who fill up the South Sound's clubs. — Tony Engelhart

ROCK artimus maximus
Russell Crowe played Maximus in the flick, "Gladiator." I half expected Bremerton-based band Artimus Maximus to be a heavy-handed metal band dressed in Roman garb. Boy was I ever wrong. The trio of Artimus Maximus (vocals/guitar), Michael Jackson (bass) and Scott Rohwein (drums) are a punk rock outfit who are as quirky as the Offspring and as loose as the Stooges.
Declaring proudly that their hometown sucks, these guys don't pull any punches. Originally formed in 1998, the first generation of the band released its debut, the Maximum Asshole in 1999, but wasn't heard from live again until 2002. After reuniting with bass player Scooter from Mos Generation and drummer Brudder Mykee from Earthwreck and Sower of Dischord, Maximus hit the studio a second time to record Crazy Alcoholic Wife. The band's third outing, She Might Be, continued down the path of camp the band has become legendary for. Not musically complex, their songs are short, loud and consist of maybe four chords. What drives the band's creativity is they don't give a s*** what anyone thinks; they're just having fun.
Apparently hungry for gigs, they say they'll play anywhere, even in your bathroom. — TE

FOLK brant o'brien
I give kudos to anyone who stands firm in his convictions, goes against the popular majority and unapologetically speaks his mind. While Kent-based singer/songwriter Brant O'Brien is self-labeled as a folkie with deep-seeded Christian values, his music doesn't preach. Rather, he paints abstract pictures that are open for interpretation.
Born to musical parents, O'Brien grew up exposed to a multitude of genres. From folk and country to Beethoven, he began a love affair with music while in the crib, but it wasn't until after high school that O'Brien began searching for his voice. He says as his Christian beliefs grew stronger, he became more confident in his abilities.
In 2006 O'Brien released his debut, Goin Home. The tracks on the album reflected his morals, ethics and relationship with his creator, but also his personal struggles. The acoustic-based recording features only guitar and violin. The lush two-part harmonies that are captured here are akin to Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan.
O'Brien is currently in the studio working on his follow-up which is slotted for a Spring 2008 release. — TE

A: packagingExcludes does not appear anywhere in maven-assembly.
And issues related to packagingExcludes involve projects like apache/maven-war-plugin, which does declare packagingExcludes in WarMojo.java
So you might not have that option available for making an archive with maven-assembly.

Crunchy pecans, sweet raisins, and flavorful curry powder make this Curried Fried Quinoa the perfect warm and light side dish.
There are things I just can't seem to figure out.
Like, how many dryer sheets should you use per load? I mean, really. How many do you use? 2? 3? 1?!
Or, "The Real Housewives". How are they housewives when many of them are not housewives – they are single!
Also, I can't figure out why people say, "hey, how are you???", as they are walking right past you at the mall. Really? If you want to know how I am, shouldn't you stop, collaborate, and listen?
I am also having a hard time figuring out who would win in a fight – Chuck Norris or Jack Bauer?
And, do frogs have ears?! And why do your parents AND grandparents have the best food in their fridge? Always.
Maybe I should just stay in the kitchen where I CAN figure things out.
At the very least, I can figure out how to make a delicious Fried Quinoa. Holla!
Sometimes you just need something spicy, something fried, and something good. Also, sometimes you just wanna bite into something new.
I had no intentions in frying the quinoa until I found myself in an OMGIneedfriedfood! mode. I was just going to make a quick lunch recipe for yours truly, similar to Dorie's Quinoa, Fruit, and Nut Salad, until this little voice in my head said, fry it fry it FRY IT! Ummmmmm. K?
So I made it, bit into it, LOVED it, took a picture of it, and boom! In yo' face! Literally.
Enough rambling. We need to get to the recipe so that you can hop into your kitchen and make this quinoa dish for the Fam. It will take you all of 25 minutes.
In a medium sized saucepan combine the water and quinoa; bring to a vigorous boil.
Reduce the heat, cover and let simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt.
Chuck Norris for sure. Thanks for the recipe, it looks so tasty!
This recipe was so good. The flavors were awesome. A definite keeper!
Yes please to curry and quinoa, I could eat that entire bowl!
Hahahah totally agree about the how are you thing! That is always so awkward!
This sounds wonderful! I love quinoa, love curry and love frying. Win all round! And lots of ingredients to help my body recover too!
Love this idea so much – great flavors and the frying? Yum!
My great grandmother always had the best food in her fridge. Everytime I came to visit, she would take it out and create a nice spread on the kitchen table for all of us. It was the best. This fried quinoa looks delicious. I fried quinoa last year, and now I'm addicted.
I use quinoa in my restaurant but I never fried it. I am going to make this dish for my customers and family. Thank you.
What an absolutely beautiful and healthful dish with good flavors. I've been wanting to try quinoa again (the first time I made, didn't turn out great). I'm going to start with some of your quinoa posts to get me on track!
Every time I stop by, you seriously blow me away!
Sounds very interesting. I have yet to try quinoa but maybe, one day.
Totally Jack Bauer will win!! I love your food styling here and the pictures are stunning.
Love the styling here, Kate! And the dish sounds fantastic!
Winter time just begs for some crispy crunchy fry action. Actually, spring does too. So pretty much, I'm all up in this dish any day of the week!
I'd never wondered about frog's ears but now I am so curious about it oh wow??
And also the "how are you?" thing gets on my nevers too. Ahh, why won't they wait to hear my answer?
I wonder the same thing about the Housewives. They are all getting divorced or they are single. This fried quinoa is absolutely amazing.

Scientific Drilling International is an independent directional drilling and wellbore navigation, surveying and logging service company serving customers worldwide.
Scientific Drilling International was founded in Houston, TX in 1969. Since then, our company has grown to be a leading provider in the global wellbore navigation services market as well as the US directional services market.
Our presence reaches over 26 countries and nearly 40 locations, being the only company to offer a complete navigation solution for the energy services sector that includes High Accuracy Gyro Survey, MWD, LWD, MagTraC MWD Ranging™, and Cased Hole Solutions.
Scientific Drilling International serves a diverse range of customers in all energy sectors. Besides participating in some of the most complex conventional and unconventional oil and gas projects in the world, Scientific Drilling also has extensive experience in working on geothermal wells and drilling horizontal laterals in coalbed methane reservoirs.
When the phrase "Scientific Drilling" was coined, sometime after World War II, it conjured up the notion that independent scientists could probe the earth's depths to learn more about the nature of this planet and how its resources developed.
In 1969, James Murray, an engineer living in Houston, TX launched a technology company. He wanted to use the latest scientific drilling practices and navigation solutions to help oil and gas producers, miners, and geothermal companies plumb this planet's depths for new reserves. Aptly, he named the company Scientific Drilling Controls (SDC).
Murray soon introduced the world's first downhole electronic steering tool (called "the Eye") to enable directional drillers to accurately orient downhole motors to deviate wellbores. Building upon its earliest triumphs, in 1977 SDC introduced the world's first surface readout gyro (SRG) tool, then in the 1980s, launched directional drilling and specialized north seeking gyros.
In 1986, Don van Steenwyk, a World War 2 veteran (Navy) and electronics engineer, owner of California based Applied Technologies Associates (ATA), acquired SDC to be the execution arm of his engineering designs and concepts in wellbore navigation and real-time communications while drilling. Scientific Drilling International (SDI) was formed! With his guidance, the company would grow immensely and prosper, continuing to deliver cutting edge technology to the industry.
Fast forward to 2017, and SDI, under strong leadership, has a vision "to become the ultimate partner in wellbore placement and productivity around the world." It continues to produce innovative and robust technologies that deliver the ultimate value in accuracy, living up to the founder's dream. SDI is dedicated to its employees, without whom, none of these would have been achieved.

1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. 2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah. 3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did. 4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan. 5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him. 6 For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses. 7 And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not. 8 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. 10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. 11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes: 12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them. 13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. 14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house. 16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. 17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field. 18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. 19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? 20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him. 22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem? 23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them. 24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? 25 Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it. 26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you? 28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria: 29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand: 30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern: 32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. 33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand? 35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand? 36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not. 37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 2 And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left. 5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. 8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. 9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying, 10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered? 12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar? 13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah? 14 And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 16 LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God. 17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, 18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. 19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only. 20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard. 21 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. 22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel. 23 By thy messengers thou hast reproached the LORD, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel. 24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places. 25 Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. 26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up. 27 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest. 29 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof. 30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. 32 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. 33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD. 34 For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

Q: Index usage stats DMV indicates no index activity I'm trying to obtain information on indexes.  According to several websites, the below TSQL query should join information on indexes to the indexes table, returning indexes and related information.  The below query is simplified to the bare join, as I'm currently trying to return data and then from there, I will return what I need:
SELECT *
FROM sys.indexes i
     INNER JOIN sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats s ON i.object_id = s.object_id

This query returns nothing.  Yet, in several databases there are hundreds of tables that have at least one index, and according to various articles online, this query should return those indexes (because it's joining on the object ids).  Also, if I try to change the query to the below query, it returns nothing as well:
SELECT *
FROM DATABASENAME.sys.indexes i
    INNER JOIN DATABASENAME.sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats s ON i.object_id = s.object_id

Why isn't this query returning data?
Added
If I run the below queries, I receive data from both of these SELECT queries:
SELECT *
FROM sys.indexes

SELECT *
FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats

The problem (on the original query) is the object_id join.  However, I don't know why I have objects in one table that don't exist in another.
Final: Martin had the right answer originally - even though data was being returned from the sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats table, it was on the msdb database, not the specific database I was seeking.  I ran queries on tables again, and found the database id in the table.  Unsure of why the sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats table didn't retain data from previous queries on that database.

A: One possibility would be that you don't have sufficient permissions to view the metadata.
Another is that sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats only reports on indexes that have been used at least once since the server was last restarted. Also

whenever a database is detached or is shut down (for example, because
  AUTO_CLOSE is set to ON), all rows associated with the database are
  removed.

AUTO_CLOSE is the default for SQL Server Express.
You need to filter sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats by database_id to determine if it has metadata loaded for a particular database also the join should include index_id
SELECT *
FROM   sys.indexes i
       LEFT JOIN sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats s
         ON i.object_id = s.object_id
            AND i.index_id = s.index_id
            AND s.database_id = DB_ID()


The uptake of BREEAM has grown considerably over the past ten to fifteen years. Figures displayed by BRE, show that over 15,000 projects have been BREEAM certified since the rating system was first launched in 1990. This equates to more than 200,000 buildings.
More and more building professionals are seeing not only the environmental benefits but recognising that having green rating certifications such as BREEAM will increase the value of their buildings. However, embracing these assessments doesn't come without its challenges: for many contractors the amount of work and costs involved can be discouraging.
Contractors often have the responsibility to deliver a building project to a certain budget and green standard. Systems like BREEAM allow contractors to ensure they are delivering to the required green standard. However, traditionally when it comes to BREEAM, the main challenges for contractors is co-ordinating the large amount of evidence required for each credit and the documentation required. This presents difficulties in terms of keeping track of not only the project stages, evidence to be submitted and reporting to the client, but the entire project team as well from Assessors to Design Team members.
Most building projects consist of very large design teams, each with their part to play in the BREEAM process. The challenge with this is ensuring that each individual knows exactly what's required from them and when their work is due. It's imperative that everyone completes and submits their work on time to ensure the project is on track to accomplish the required rating.
Since the early 2000's cloud-based project management systems have emerged to simplify these processes. They are secure, centralised and don't come with any traditional IT issues around backup, diskspace and availability. Everything is managed in real-time and administrative tasks traditionally done manually are done automatically, making it much easier to focus on bigger tasks. Tracker systems are also tailored to the BREEAM process so encourage best practice and help projects achieve the best rating possible.
These systems make it much easier to report and be transparent – as documentation is uploaded and reviewed the BREEAM score is automatically updated and can be easily accessed as you go along. The process of submitting evidence takes seconds and minutes rather than hours and days and contractors can report to their clients easily at the stages required and much more easily manage the whole design team.
Unlike with traditional methods, contractors can report on multiple projects very quickly. They can also group projects together online by region or client. Bouygues contractors use IES TaP for all of its BREEAM projects, which allows them to see what they are doing with regards to projects in different regions that they work in. They can see the scores in each region, and globally, and check their progress with regards to timescales and targets. With tracker systems you can effectively manage your whole portfolio and reporting from one interface.
Tracker systems are also handy for keeping track of multiple projects and multiple Assessors. A large Contractor could easily have 50 different projects going on, and therefore potentially have 50 different assessors. Without a tracker system they would need to contact each one to ask for a report, which may be all in different formats, and check their progress so they can then generate their report. However, if they had a tracker system and all their assessors were using the same system, they could get all the live information themselves and generate their report from one place.
People management is one of the most important things to get right when undertaking BREEAM assessments. Most tracker systems solve the issues that come with this by assigning credits and evidence required to each member of the design team, detailing exactly what is required from them and by when. Some even send automatic email alerts when evidence is due or overdue to ensure the whole team is on track. When you have a huge team to keep track of, this feature is priceless.
Bouygues UK for example were not making their design target until midway through the construction stage of a project, whereas now using the IES TaP system they are now meeting the design targets sometimes prior to starting on site. Because they can easily keep track of their teams and Assessors it has made the whole process a lot faster. You can read more on how Bouygues UK is benefitting from the use of IES TaP in the IES case study.
Some tracking systems allow you to tie in project milestones against BREEAM credits and evidence. If the project is financially bound whereby you need to be at a certain BREEAM score by a particular date, or if the project is being managed by RIBA stages and you need to be at a certain BREEAM score by a particular stage, this is a great benefit. Dates can be assigned against the project milestones to automatically set the deadlines for providing evidence and completing BREEAM credits in-line with the project stages.
Tracker systems are not only a great benefit to Contractors, assessors and their design teams they also make things much easier and more efficient for Ratings Providers such as BRE. Some Tracker systems, such as IES TaP have the BRE Badge of Recognition (BBoR). This means that BRE can automatically log on and quickly see all of the submissions and reporting for each project. Traditionally all reports would be sent by CD in the post. With tracker systems that have the BBoR, the process is much quicker and simpler – BRE are notified once a completed assessment is submitted by the assessor, and they can then log on to the system to review it, provide their feedback and issue the certification.
There are many tracker systems on the market with different levels of capability, the one thing they all have in common is that they allow users to wave goodbye to 'old fashioned' slower methods of working and say hello to quicker and more efficient ways that save time, costs and increase productivity. For me it's a 'no brainer' – to move forward the industry needs to embrace online cloud-based technology and use it to its advantage. By making it easier for building professionals to adopt green building rating systems, tracker systems have the ability to further increase the uptake and accelerate the green building movement to reach the ultimate goal of a healthy, energy efficient and sustainable built environment.


Magical Barbara has been crucial to me since I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of 2015 at the age of 40. On meeting Babs, hearing her knowledge and spirit I thought for the first time 'I am going to survive this'. Babs injected positivity and a belief in me that made me strong. My first oncology massage was incredible and I was lucky enough for Barbara to visit & treat me in my hospital. Her infusion of skills were huge for me from preparing me for surgery, working on my scar tissue post mastsectomy, treating all the horrible side effects from chemotherapy & radiotherapy and the hormone drugs that followed. I continue to see Barbara as often as I possibly can. Everyone should see Barbara. Don't wait until you are ill! She is an inspiration and a real force!
Visited Barbara at Brighton Wellbeing Clinic early on in April. Have just booked to go back. Having suffered from Arthritis since the age of 10 and having tried all sorts of therapies and massages over the years, nothing has helped me more than my visit to Barbara. She understood just how my arthritis affected my back and hip joints in particular and tailored the treatment specifically to help. I just wish I lived closer as I would visit every week if I could! Would highly recommend! thank you Barbara at Brighton Wellbeing - I look forward to my next appointment.
Barbara is such a warm and inviting character, she is very knowledgeable and instantly knew the areas that needed work to release tension. I came to her for a very stiff neck and even after the first session it started to feel so much better. I will continue to go back to Barbara to treat any other issues, and would recommend her to everyone!
Brighton Wellbeing is centrally located, just off London Road, which makes it very convenient to reach. Step inside and you will find a cozy reception and softly lit, tranquil treatment room, with warm, smiley Barbara waiting to meet you. After interviewing you about your particular problem, she personalises a massage to focus on exactly what you need. I have tried a number of Barbara's extensive range of massage treatments, according to what I require at that moment, and each has been excellent. I would highly recommend Brighton Wellbeing if you have a chronic problem, or just fancy treating yourself. You will also find prices are less than other places in Brighton.
Barbara has always given me massages that leave my body feeling completely refreshed. With today's treatment, she worked on the tension in my shoulder and lower back and eased it away. I felt as if I floated out of her treatment room at the end of my hour and a half of her amazing massage and manipulation. Thank you, Barbara, for your healing hands. I gladly and strongly recommend you to my family and friends. It's definitely worth having a massage from Barbara. I intend to do so regularly.
The massage I received at Brighton Wellbeing was easily the best massage I've ever had! Barbara used so many different massage techniques, I've never experienced anything like it before. Not only does Barbara understand you holistically, but she is also ridiculously strong! I've always wanted to experience a proper professional sports massage, and this is definitely what I got. Barbara also worked on my neck which had been stiff for a long time, and after the neck massage I haven't had issues.
If you're looking for a professional massage therapist in Brighton, you should definitely book with Barbara at the Brighton Wellbeing clinic.
I went to Barabara because I have elbow and back problems. She knew just what to do and manipulated my muscles in a way that suited me. She was really strong and made sure the pressure was ok. I felt very relaxed, comfortable and really enjoyed it.
Barabara at Brighton Wellbeing was recommended to me by a friend for problems with back pain, tight hips and locked up spine. She is very knowledgeable about physiology, and was extremely detailed our discussions about my back pain and in the massage itself. I go for the full 1hr30 min treatment – in hard times it can feel like an expense, but it really does make a difference, she's just amazing and it really helps my back!
Barbara really works with you and your needs and puts you at ease - I recently had a facial here and came out feeling refreshed revived and relaxed. I would highly recommend treating yourself today!!!
Barbara is a highly qualified professional, and offers massages tailored to the client's "body and mind". I was very happy to enter a relaxing environment, have an assessment, and a chat over my needs and expectations. I was very pleased with the results, since my body had a great benefit from the massages, for example with a considerable decrease in muscular tension and pain. Definitely going to get more massages.

Barbara has totally sorted out my back pain which I had developed as a result of cancer treatment. She took the time needed and never rushed. I am very grateful and recommend her highly.
I booked into see Barbara for ear candling, the treatment was wonderful and she even incorporated some nurturing foot and head massage. Her knowledge of health and the body is truly enlightening, and she has such a gentle and warm nature. I walked in needing this functional treatment (due to blocked ears) and walked out not only with clear ears, but feeling light, relaxed and revitalised. Barbara gave 100% and more in her treatment, and is a true professional.
I recently had a truly amazing facial by Barbara with her knowledge and experience Barabara made me feel at ease and special by working with my needs leaving me feeling refreshed and revived and relaxed - I would highly recommend treating yourself today!!!
Barbara is an exceptional masseuse. She has shown far more interest in my hip and neck pain than my GP, and her massages have been significantly more effective than my visits to the osteopath, chairopractor and acupuncturist. I feel very relaxed with Barbara and feel that she retains a good knowledge of my body between visits. She often ends sessions by suggesting useful stretches and exercises, which I very much appreciate. Barbara's place is clean, quiet and very central. I couldn't recommend Brighton Well-being highly enough.
I had a facial done at Brighton Wellbeing and I can tell you: the best one I've had so far! I usually don't enjoy facials that much since I'm really conscious about my skin and face, but Barbara made me feel really relaxed and she took great care of me. She also was extremely knowledgeable of the different products, which BTW smell amazing! After the facial my skin looked better than ever, I've always suffered from slight redness but the day after the facial it was totally gone! You should definitely try, it's such a calming experience in the wonderful clinic. Thank you, will book again for sure!
I have been so stressed recently I had to visit Barbara at the Wellbeing Studio. I had a very intense massage which I have to say relieved a lot of tension. I can highly recommend Barbara. Please pay her a visit, you will not be disappointed.
I suffer of chronic pain in my shoulders and with a series of treatments with Barbara the improvement has been incredible. She is expert, competent and when massaging gives you 100%. Her studio is lovely and very relaxing.
Recently I went to see Barbara about my injured ankle which she cured after only two massages. She is so knowledgable and treated my problem holistically which makes so much sense. I can honestly say that her massage is by far the best when I compare it to other osteopathy and physiotherapy treatments that I've had in the past.
I'm not exaggerating when I this but it was the best massage I've had to date. I'm an acrobat by trade and had flown 30 hours from Aus the day before. So with the flight and my craft combined there were a few issues. Barbara was able to identify most of these issues at first glance then some through conversation. She has an incredible intuition. She was gentle and soft initially then moved gradually into more firm and thorough which my body responded perfectly to. My neck injury is in a good place as a result and all round look and feel more energetic. Which is perfect for opening night tonight. Highly recommend.
Barbara is the real deal. Her knowledge is incredible. And during the treatment she sent me to another dimension! I literally floated out of the Brighton Wellbeing Studio. She also mixed up my own personal aromatherapy oil which she used and then gave me the rest to have in a bath. Nice touch. She has created a warm, safe, skilful haven!
Barbara is truly magical! It's a massage like no other, she is so knowledgeable and really gets to the root of any pain, niggles or issues. I felt taller, had more energy and a real sense of well-being after my last massage. It's hard to describe, I can only say it's an incredible therapeutic experience. So lucky to have you in Brighton Barbara!
I had a fantastic experience at Brighton wellbeing. Barbara was attentive to my every need and very thorough in her initial questioning of how I was feeling and what I wanted to get out of the session. She asked me which oils i liked so she could adjust aromatherapy to suit my needs. The room was toasty warm and well decorated, with beautiful lighting which helped me relax and enjoy the experience. She used crystals initally and placed them over me and my bump and wrapped me up toasty in a blanket before starting. It was a wonderful relaxing session. She reguarly checked in about how much pressure i wanted. I had a full body massage. And i hope to go back for another before i am full term.
Had a wonderful massage with Barbara, very professional and thorough. Highly recommended! Such a lovely bubbly lady. Felt very comfortable.
Just to put out an amazingly huge thankyou to Babara Palloni, my sons massage practitioner! After complaints of neck pain, and tightness across the sternum, I took my son to the Brighton Wellbeing Studio, and was pleasantly suprised to find a gem of a healing space just off London Road!
The studio space was clean and bright, and we were warmly welcomed into the healing room, where soft lighting and comfortable furnishings gave us both a sense of calm. My son was talked through what treatment he would be receiving,and was made to feel instantly at ease... Wow, an hour later and he was a different child! Relaxed, relieved from pain, and smiling!
Barbara gave us all the neccessary info for massage aftercare, and I was left feeling that I really had made the right choice in positively influencing my son's wellbeing. I would not hesitate to take my son back for another appointment in the future.
I've had several massages with Barbara in the past couple of years. What amazes me is how every experience is entirely tailored to your needs. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.
I would highly recommend a visit - Barbara instantly makes you feel at ease and really works with you and your needs making you feel special and revived! This was my first visit and cannot wait to book in again - if you are going to do one good thing for yourself today make it an appointment here!
I was referred by a friend after I got neck and back pain and I am glad he referred me to Barbara. She has done wonders and reversed years of tension!
Barbara has always given me massages that leave my body feeling completely refreshed. With today's treatment, she worked on the tension in my shoulder and lower back and eased it away.

Thank you, Barbara, for your healing hands. I gladly and strongly recommend you to my family and friends. It's definitely worth having a massage from Barbara. I intend to do so regularly.
Barbara is so knowledgeable about the body, and her massages are wonderful. It's half sports-massage and stretches - very intense! - and half spa treatment, with hot stones, aromatherapy oils, reflexology, Indian head massage... Absolutely loved it.
I just wanted to thank you for the great treatment that you gave me this week. I have a chronic and complicated medical condition and my body is a total diva. I felt in totally safe hands (which very rarely happens). Your treatments were exactly what I need and I felt both relaxed and energised ever since (until the referendum results came in last night). Luckily I've got another session booked next week.
Hi Barbara, I just wanted to thank you again for the most amazing massage, did wonders for my body and self-awareness! The massage was so skilled and intuitive, I think perhaps the best of I've ever had! I've been telling everyone about it and will definitely be booking again and sending other clients your way!
Yesterday I had a massage in the new studio and it was great. The new venue is an excellent environment, vary relaxing and well equipped with a great atmosphere. Barbara, as usual, put her hands, heart and soul into the massage: she is very competent and dedicated. Highly recommended!
Barbara is the most fantastic masseur she puts her heart & soul into each session. I always come out feeling rejuvenated and usually with some extra piece of wisdom that she has passed on- she has a rare gift, a born carer!
I had another massage with Barbara this evening, this time in preparation for an operation. I really think she has an exceptional talent and will be seeing her again to aid my recovery. I couldn't recommend her enough.
The oncology massages I had with Barbara were wonderful, she is a very gifted masseur My insurance recommended her and paid for some sessions.They really helped loosen muscles that had seized up from surgery and left me calm and relaxed. I've been blessed to meet some very special people through this journey and she has been of of them.
Fantastic fusion myofascial release/trigger therapy massage from Barbara today. Highly recommend her!
Thanks Barbara Palloni for a good deep massage using a variety of techniques to ease and relax a couple of well set-in sports injuries. Effective and professional therapy.
This was my first massage and I am converted - bliss. Even better was discovering that you are local to Uckfield. I will have more.
