On July 10, 2018, Disneyland Resort debuted one of its newest character dining experiences at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Previously the home of Chip & Dale's Critter Breakfast, Storytellers Cafe now welcomes Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and most of the fab five for Mickey's Tales of Adventure. This new character dining experience not only hosts new characters to the location, but a plethora of new culinary treats whipped up by the chefs of Storytellers Cafe.
The unique thing this time around for Storyteller's Cafe is that they will be rotating through menu items throughout the week, so if guests staying at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa decide to visit multiple times throughout their stay, they would get a slightly different culinary experience (save from the breakfast must-haves like eggs, bacon, waffles, etc.). As for the characters, we saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Chip and Dale, all in their new 'adventure-inspired' outfits.
Another unique set of items for this character dining location are the alcoholic drinks (not included with the price of the buffet). There are 8 unique drinks created by the culinary team at Storytellers Cafe that represent each mural depicted within the restaurant, continuing with the theme of the entire experience for all ages.
A small selection of the special alcoholic drinks available that are themed to each mural within the restaurant.
Now on to the best part, the food. There are lots of new food offerings available to guests, and of course a return of the breakfast staples everyone knows and loves with a Storytellers Cafe twist. The set up of the restaurant remains the same as before, so return guests will be familiar with where to find things.
For those of you worried, the fan favorite Mickey Waffles are still available each morning, because what is a Disney breakfast buffet without a Mickey Waffle? All of the newer items were excellent additions to the buffet, and really represented the variety of flavors you can find all over California. Some of my favorites were the quiche, chilaquiles, apple bacon cupcake, and surprisingly the cereal milk. The cereal milk was a unique idea for a breakfast buffet, and a sweet treat to finish off your meal.
All in all Mickey's Tales of Adventure is the character breakfast that Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa always needed. The storytelling theme and food are completely unique to the Disneyland Resort, which is exactly what guests are looking for with a Disney Dining experience. If you have already visited the breakfast buffet at Storytellers Cafe in the past, it is definitely worth a revisit to try all the new food offerings and of course take pictures with all the new characters.
do they still have the French toast?
Yes. They still offer traditional French Toast, and on some days will have special French Toast Sticks with Green Tea and Horchata dipping sauces as well.
Is this offered every day of the week during breakfast and will they be doing this on New Year's Eve? Thank you!

Socketware Upgrades Accucast E-mail Messaging System
Socketware Inc., a provider of Internet messaging software and services, yesterday said that it upgraded its Accucast e-mail marketing system to version 3.
The Atlanta-based company said Accucast v3 provides list sampling and campaign testing. It also provided functionality with AOL Time Warner's America Online service. Users can send AOL subscribers HTML-based e-mail, which can be accurately tracked.
"Previously, the world's largest ISP has been difficult for e-mail marketers to maneuver," said Michael Pridemore, Socketware's CEO. "With [Accucast], AOL customers will be able to see exactly what was intended, including HTML content. And marketers can track results from these accounts."
The upgraded system also lets marketers track viral marketing campaigns by letting them see the number of times a specific e-mail is forwarded. It offers integration with external systems such as multiple databases, customer relationship management software and point-of-purchase tools. The company said Accucast prevents e-mail messages from being automatically forwarded to the "bulk mail" folder by incorporating personalized data into the message.
Accucast v3 is available in three configurations: Enterprise, for sending millions of e-mail messages per hour; Accelerator, a Web-hosted version; and Agency, which lets Socketware customers offer their clients customized, targeted e-mail campaigns.

How good are your intentions?
A Supreme Court judgment handed down on 5 December has held that, if a landlord plans a redevelopment scheme to defeat a business tenant's right to a new lease, the landlord must be prepared to show it has an
unconditional intention to go ahead with the work – regardless of what, ultimately, the tenant may choose to do. This significant decision in S Franses Ltd v The Cavendish Hotel (London) Ltd provides useful clarity about the nature of the landlord's required intention when relying on the 'redevelopment ground'.
Under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, a business tenant has a right to a new lease unless the landlord can prove certain grounds for opposing renewal. One of these grounds – 'ground (f)' – is that the landlord has the intention to carry out works that it could not reasonably carry out without obtaining possession of the premises. A number of cases have sought to clarify the nature of the required intention which the landlord must prove in order to succeed under ground (f). It was previously generally accepted that the landlord must evidence a firm and
settled intention to redevelop and a reasonable prospect of achieving it – and that the landlord's motives and reasonableness are irrelevant provided that the intention is genuine.
It might surprise some, then, that the Court's decision went against the landlord. What is distinctive about this case is not just that the landlord admitted that the works served no useful purpose, and were devised solely to comply with ground (f) so the tenant would be evicted, but crucially (and specifically to the facts of this case) the landlord also admitted that if the tenant vacated the premises voluntarily the landlord would not carry out the works. The landlord's intention was conditional upon the tenant continuing to pursue the new lease and defend the landlord's application to terminate. Thus it was evident that although the landlord's intention was proven it was conditional.
What does this mean for landlords? While there may be a temptation to hide the true motivation behind an intention to carry out redevelopment works, the Court will no doubt be alive to this in future cases. A landlord's motives are still technically irrelevant – in that the works need not be reasonable or serve a commercial purpose – but those motives will be explored further in order to establish not only whether the landlord's intention is genuine butwhether that intention is also unconditional.

South32 acquired the remaining 83% of issued and outstanding shares of Arizona Mining for $1.3bn, EMR Capital agreed to offload its 80% stake in Martabe gold and silver mine in Indonesia for $1.21bn. Mining-technology.com wraps up the key headlines from August 2018.

Australian mining and metals company South32 concluded the acquisition of the remaining 83% of issued and outstanding shares of Canadian mineral exploration company Arizona Mining, in an all-cash deal valued at $1.3bn.
The completion of the deal follows an agreement signed by the companies in June. The amount for the transaction was funded from cash on hand.
Under the terms of the deal, South32 offered C$6.20 ($4.69) in cash for each common share held by former shareholders of Arizona Mining.
Australian private equity firm EMR Capital agreed to offload its 80% stake in Martabe gold and silver mine in Indonesia to PT Danusa Tambang Nusantara for $1.21bn.
Australian gold producer Resolute Mining will complete work on the world's first fully autonomous mine by the end of the year, with driverless trucks, loaders and drills scheduled to begin production at the Syama gold mine in southern Mali.
The mine will also benefit from a fibre-optic monitoring and guidance system, which will improve safety and productivity at the site, and the entire project has been designed 'to ensure future flexibility', according to Resolute Mining.
The company stressed that the presence of automated vehicles would not significantly reduce the number of workers at the mine; of the 1,500-strong workforce, only 80 jobs stand to be lost to automation, and many of these positions are currently held by foreign workers, rather than those from Mali.
Australia- based mining company OZ Minerals, through its Brazilian subsidiary, closed the compulsory acquisition of all the outstanding shares in Avanco Resources, in an A$418m ($323.2m).
The compulsory acquisition comes after acceptances for OZ Minerals' offer for Avanco exceeded 90% in June.
The company originally made the takeover bid in March, offering A$0.085 in cash and 0.009 shares to Avanco shareholders for each share held by them in Avanco.
Wesfarmers signed an agreement to sell its 40% stake in the Bengalla coal mine joint venture to partner New Hope for A$860m ($637.83m).
The company will continue to benefit from earnings and cash flow generated from its interest in Bengalla until the completion of the transaction.
Apart from Wesfarmers' 40% stake, New Hope owns a 40% stake in the Bengalla mine with 10% held by Taipower and 10% by Mitsui.
Kazakhstan-based copper company KAZ Minerals is set to acquire Baimskaya copper project in Chukotka, Russia, for $900m.
The project is being acquired from a group of investors, including Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich.
The transaction value includes initial consideration of $675m for 75% interest in the project and deferred consideration of $225m for the remaining 25% interest.
De Beers Group decided to initiate the closure of Voorspoed mine in the South African Province Free State after failing to identify a suitable buyer for the diamond-mining operation.
The decision comes after the miner conducted an extensive disposal process, which involved a due diligence exercise on parties interested in the acquisition of the mine.
Voorspoed was opened in November 2008 with an expected operating life of mine of ten years.
Rio Tinto exits coal mining in Australia by selling its remaining assets in Queensland for £3.95bn.
The assets sold by the company include its interests in the Hail Creek coal mine and Valeria coal development project to Glencore for $1.7bn.
Newcrest Mining will require an estimated total capital expenditure of $598m for the expansion of Cadia gold operations in New South Wales, Australia, according to a pre-feasibility study (PFS).
The capex includes $540m to develop next Macro Block PC2-3 and the remaining $58m for the processing plant and underground materials handling expansion.
The PFS has outlined future potential de-bottlenecking options to increase plant capacity to 35Mtpa, which is designated as the upper limit of Cadia's caving footprint capability until PC1-2 production increases.
Multinational metals and mining company BHP Billiton reported an outage at its Olympic Dam copper smelter in south Australia.
The company attributed the outage at the acid plant to the failure of several boiler tubes, adding that it is currently assessing the impact.

Kerguelenand (Anas eatoni) är en and som enbart förekommer på öar i södra Indiska oceanen.

Utseende
Kerguelenanden har en kroppslängd på 40-45 centimeter. Den påminner om en liten stjärtandshona och har ibland också behandlats som underart till den arten. Den är dock allmänt mörkare, mer rödbrun och fjällteckningar på flankerna mindre och mindre tydliga.

Hanen har förlängda mittersta stjärtpennor och en grön vingspegel kantad av vitt. En liten andel av hanarna (1%) antar en ljusare häckningsdräkt med spår av chokladbrunt på huvudet och ett vitt streck utmed nacken. Honan har brun vingspegel kantad av vitt.

Underarterna är lika, men drygalskii (se nedan) lite mindre, mer gulbrun på bröstet och vissa individer uppvisar fin marmorering på nedre delen av nacken och flankerna.

Utbredning och underarter
Kerguelenand delas upp i två underarter med följande utbredning:
 Anas eatoni eatoni – nominatformen förekommer på Kerguelen
 Anas eatoni drygalskii (Reichenow, 1875) – förekommer i Crozetöarna

Ekologi
Kerguelenanden hittas i små sötvattenssjöar, våtmarker, i vattendrag och på myrar, vintertid i skyddade kustvikar. Fågeln födosöker mest dagtid efter kräftdjur, ryggradslösa djur och olika sorters frön. Framför allt när den ruggar födosöker den även på natten och besöker då sjöelefantkolonier.

Fågeln häckar mellan november och slutet av januari eller februari. Den bygger sitt bo fodrat med mossa och dun oftast i gräs, ibland i en klippskreva. Honan lägger och ruvar fem blekt olivgröna ägg.

Status och hot
På 1980-talet uppskattade man populationen på Crozetöarna till 600-700 par och på Kerguelen 15.000-20.000 par. Sedan dess tros den dock ha minskat kraftigt i antal. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN kategoriserar arten som sårbar och den hotas av introducerade arter, främst tamkatt.

Namn
Fågelns vetenskapliga artnamn hedrar Alfred Edmond Eaton (1845–1929), engelsk naturforskare och upptäcktsresande.

This tween boy needed a room that he could grow in. Gone are the little boy toys, to make room for books and newly found hobbies (although there may still be some lego hiding in a basket or two). Although this room is large, with one wall being built-in wardrobes and another having three large windows, it was difficult to find a layout that allowed for a large desk that would meet current and future study needs. This desk was designed and built by HomeAnnaWay, to fit perfectly around the large windows and still provide large study space and plenty of storage for books.


Meh, that was strange. There is a negative loop with smashed eggs, which in some levels leads to situations where you either finish a level quickly or hardly finish it at all.
And this game needs some kind of progression, I mean new features appearing on newer levels. Like portals, hehe.
Graphics are good, there is music and sounds (which is rare), the art direction is nice (though dark semi-transparent icons on buttons surely were a mistake), but the long-term gameplay is quite questionable.
The basket's speed seems ok to me.


Daily Extras - Do the workout above "For Time."
20 DB OH press (strict) 15/20 ea.
20 DB squats 15/20 ea.
Workouts like this will help to move some blood around. That'll make you feel a bit better. Probably even help you recover a little faster.
Maybe just watch out for those pullups. It's probably a good idea to break them into small chunks by doing sets of 3-5. If that seems like too many, alternate between jumping pullups and kips.
You are on the clock, but use stellar form.
Use two DBs to weight the squats. Hold them anywhere. I like to hold them on my shoulders. Some like to hold them down to their sides.
Use only one DB for the HWS.

These ground beef casserole recipes are great for special occasions like family reunions. Of course you don't need to wait for a special event to make them. You can easily concoct this on any day of the week.
Begin this simple ground beef casserole by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 2 ½ quart casserole. Set a skillet to medium heat and brown the beef, onion and oil. Keep cooking until the beef's pink color dissipates.
Add the garlic and bell pepper. Stir it until the bell pepper softens. Then you can add the pinto beans, cumin and chili powder. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes hot.
Cut the tortillas into pieces. Toss half in the casserole. Pour half the mixture you just made on top of it. Spray half the cheese on it. Repeat this process for the rest of the beef and cheese. Sprinkle the top with tortilla chips.
Cook this easy ground beef casserole until the cheese dissolves. That will take about 25 minutes.
Cook the rice. Put it aside when it's done. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Put some grease on the casserole (2 quarts). The first step to making this ground beef casserole is to cook the beef. When its pink color fades, throw in the bell pepper. Cook it for a couple of minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients minus the cheese. Add in the rice and stir it. Pour this in the casserole. Bake this for about 25 minutes. Add the shredded cheese on top. Cook it for 5 minutes.
Sauté the onion, garlic and peppers. Add the vegetables and stir. Add the beef when the onion gets hot. Toss in the tomato juice and paste when the beef tenderizes. Set heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cheese. Put in a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes (350 degrees). Put more cheese as topping.

The year is 2000, and the national drought has gotten worse, and people become nomads looking for water. Aziza insists that the family "play Titanic" repeatedly. The movie is sweeping through Kabul through smuggled copies. Soon all kinds of products sold in Kabul are named after the movie. Laila speculates that everyone attached themselves to the movie because they wanted to be rescued from their current awful situations in Afghanistan.
Rasheed's store burns down in a fire, so they have to sell everything that they could spare to make ends meet. Rasheed is home during the day, because he got fired from working at two local restaurants. Laila harasses Rasheed about why he got fired, and Rasheed beats her, saying she would make him kill her. Food is running out, and the family is forced to skip meals often. Rasheed steals food when he can, but the family begins to realize that they might starve.
Mariam has a plan to save the family from hunger. She and Rasheed go to the Intercontinental Hotel. At the hotel, they see many men in turbans armed with guns. Rasheed says that these are the Islamists using the Taliban as puppets. During their visit to the hotel, Mariam realizes that the doorman looks familiar, but at the time she can't place him.
Rasheed and Mariam use a phone to call Jalil. Mariam reflects upon when Jalil came to see her in Kabul but she would only glance at him through a window. Mariam asks the operator in Herat for Jalil, but Mariam learns that Jalil had died in 1987.
In 2001, Ahmad Shah Massoud goes to speak with the European Parliament to get support for an opposition alliance against the Taliban. He warns Europe of the terrorists and asked for their support. Laila learns that the Taliban had destroyed the Bamiyan Buddhas and the world took notice after this destruction.
Rasheed, Laila, Mariam, Aziza, and Zalmai leave Kabul for Karteh-Seh. They are dropping Aziza off at what they tells her is a "special school", but in reality it is an orphanage that is in bad shape. Laila and Mariam promise that they would visit Aziza. The orphanage is led by a kind man named Zaman. Laila tells him that she is ashamed to leave her child in an orphanage, but Zaman understands. When Laila and Mariam leave Aziza, they try to be calm, but Aziza yells and panics.
In the beginning of Aziza's stay at the orphanage, Rasheed walks Mariam, Laila, and Zalmai to the orphanage to visit for 15 minutes. Sometimes, Rasheed starts walking and forces all of them to turn around because he does not want to walk. Then Rasheed begins refusing to go at all, so Laila attempts to walk alone. She is often beaten by Taliban members. However, she feels that the pain is worth it to spend time with Aziza. Aziza tells Laila that Zaman teaches them new things in secret every day.
Rasheed takes the family to the orphanage. Aziza demonstrates what she has learned. Zalmai would always ask if Aziza is coming home at the end of every visit. Aziza tries to comfort Laila and Mariam about the conditions at the orphanage, but Aziza begins to develop a stammer, which worries Laila.
Rasheed has begun work at the hotel and at times is able to bring home food. The family picks up Aziza and goes on an outing into Kabul. Rasheed lets Aziza pick a toy, but makes her put it back because he could not afford to buy both the gift for her and the gift for Zalmai. As they leave the orphanage, Laila suspects that the stammer might be indicative of something deeper.
When they return home, they see a man leaning against the door of their house. Laila recognizes it as Tariq, and she runs toward him. Mariam watches Zalmai while Laila visits with Tariq. He cries until Laila comes home to coddle him. Mariam then recalls that the doorman at the Intercontinental Hotel had looked familiar because he is the man that posed as Abdul Sharif and told Laila that Tariq had died. Mariam wonders how much Rasheed must have paid the man to lie to Laila.
When Tariq arrives, Laila throws her arms around him and cries. He tells her stories of his time in Pakistan. Laila is ashamed of her looks and her missing tooth. Tariq has aged as well, lost a tooth, and lost some hair.
Tariq says that his parents had died, and Laila shares news that hers have died as well. Tariq had lived in the foothills of Pir Panjul in Pakistan. Before that, he spent time in a refugee camp. He speaks of hunger, disease, the death of his father, and the pneumonia caught by his mother. He describes how he had to threaten a child in order to get a blanket for his mother. Tariq had tried to find work, but had difficulty doing so because of his missing leg. Once he was hired to transport a coat to another city, despite his suspicion that he would actually be smuggling drugs. The police cut the coat open and found hashish inside. Tariq was sent to prison.
In prison, Tariq met and befriended an older man named Salim who had connections to the outside world. Tariq learned of his mother's death while in prison. Upon Tariq leaving prison, Salim gave him his brother's address for a small hotel in order that for Tariq to have a place to stay. Salim's brother Sayeed hired Tariq as a handyman and a janitor. Sayeed is kind to Tariq, put him up in a shack behind the hotel, fitted him for a new leg, and bought him a coat. When Tariq had enough money, he bought his goat, Alyona.
Laila loves when Tariq speaks, but she does not want to tell him about her life. Tariq tells Laila that in prison he had learned to speak Urdu, and that he wrote to her often in the seven years he spent incarcerated. Laila eventually divulges everything to Tariq. She tells him how she thought he had died, got scared, and married Rasheed. She tells Tariq about Aziza. Tariq does not blame Laila for marrying. Tariq says that he wants to meet Aziza, and Laila says she would arrange a meeting.
Laila wonders what Tariq thinks of her now. When Laila is with Tariq, she feels as if nothing had changed between them since they had been together. Tariq realizes that Rasheed has beaten Laila, and he tells Laila that he wished he had taken her with him. Tariq apologizes for barging into her life, and he says he would leave if she wanted. Laila begs Tariq to stay, and they set up a time to visit Aziza.
Tariq tells Laila that he is not scared of Rasheed, and though Laila does not know what the future will hold, she becomes hopeful. Throughout Tariq's and Laila's visits, Zalmai tells Rasheed about "mommy's new friend". Rasheed figures out that Tariq is visiting Laila, and she accuses him of lying. Rasheed reminds Laila that she had also lied about who Aziza's father is. Rasheed calls Laila a whore.
Zalmai tells Rasheed that Laila lets Tariq see her face. He would cry every time Tariq came to visit, out of respect for Rasheed. Rasheed would question Zalmai about Laila's talks with Tariq. After hearing about Laila's talks with Tariq, Rasheed sends Zalmai upstairs. Mariam tries to stop Rasheed, but he beats Laila. Laila tries to fight back, and Mariam is yelling at Rasheed and trying to block his blows. Then, Rasheed beats Mariam.
Laila takes glass and cuts Rasheed's cheek. They fight, and Mariam tries to help Laila. Rasheed tries to suffocate Laila, and she begins to turn blue. Mariam hits Rasheed with a shovel. She calls his name to assure that he watches her beat him. Mariam thinks he appears regretful for a second, but then he looks as if he is about to strike back. Mariam strikes him with the shovel again, as hard as she can.
The infiltration of the Titanic phenomenon into Kabul serves as a reminder to the reader that the events of the novel are not taking place in an archaic setting, but rather in a time close to the present. Additionally, the movie appears like a symbol for a nation that is sinking, and those inside it are just doing whatever they can to hold on to what they have.
Mariam's attempt to contact Jalil for money offers significant revelations about her character. First of all, she is willing to swallow her pride in order to assist the lives of Laila and the children, and has shown a selfless but loving nature. Mariam does not exhibit shame in asking for money, but she does seem shameful that she did not hear Jalil out when he came to visit her in Kabul.
The solution provided for the family's poverty (to send Aziza away) is evidence that she is the most expendable member of her family. Aziza's strength throughout the whole ordeal allows her to do her best to assure Mariam and Laila that her life in the orphanage is fine. Zaman becomes the first male character in the novel since Hakim to place an emphasis on the education of girls.
Aziza develops a stammer which suggests her suffering and internal pain. Though it seems as if she is well taken care of within the orphanage walls, it must be difficult to acknowledge that her parents were willing to send her out of the house. Additionally, though she may be be better off in the orphanage than she might have been in the house, all of Afghanistan is suffering and her fate is no different regardless of where she remains.
Tariq's return to Laila suggests that their true love has not faded, despite the fact that years have passed while they were apart. Additionally, the two love each other regardless of their ragged appearances. Tariq is loyal and understanding of Laila's marital and child-bearing situation. The amount of tolerance and patience they have for each other displays how much unconditional love they both share.
Rasheed's final attempt to subordinate his wives comes as a result of him learning about Laila's time spent with Tariq. His rage is certainly not born out of lost love, but rather that he has been shamed. Something of his has been taken by another man. The struggle between Laila and Rasheed ends in poetic justice with his murder by Mariam. Mariam was the first woman that the reader witnesses Rasheed torture, and she endured the longest span of abuse.

National Security Advisor John Bolton has said that "all options are on the table" in regard to how America may respond to the situation we see unraveling in Venezuela.
U.S. military intervention in Venezuela will do nothing other than create a South American migrant crisis similar to the one we saw in Syria. It'd be safe to assume that many — possibly millions — of people fleeing violence would find their way to our southern border.
It will overwhelm our immigration system and drain our resources. It will flood our workforce with cheaper labor, putting countless of Americans out of jobs. It would lead to the further decay of American sovereignty and culture.
We are not prepared for such a crisis. And no, a flimsy steel barrier won't protect us.
Americans must realize we have been able to skate around the consequences of our foolish actions in the Middle East because we have had distance on our side. Those who fled war in Syria couldn't jump in a boat and sail here; they couldn't bum rush our borders.
Intervening in Venezuela would be like bombing our backyard — and that's bad for the neighborhood.

After ending the previous session somewhat lower, treasuries saw some further disadvantage throughout the trading day on Monday.
Bond prices came under pressure early in the day and stayed in unfavorable area throughout the session. Subsequently, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, increased by 2.2 basis indicate 3.163 percent.
The weakness amongst treasuries came although the Commerce Department released a report showing much weaker than expected U.S. retail sales growth in the month of September.
The Commerce Department said retail sales inched up by 0.1 percent in September, matching the uptick seen in August. Economic experts had anticipated retail sales to climb up by 0.5 percent.
Leaving out a rebound in car sales, retail sales edged down by 0.1 percent in September after increasing by a downwardly revised 0.2 percent in August.
Ex-auto sales had actually been expected to increase by 0.3 percent, matching the boost initially reported for the previous month.
The report stated closely seen core retail sales, which exclude cars, gasoline, constructing products and food services, climbed up by 0.5 percent in September after coming in unchanged in August.
"Overall, the current strength of underlying retail costs reflects the continued boost to earnings from the tax cuts enacted at the start of the year," said Andrew Hunter, U.S. Financial Expert at Capital Economics.
A different report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New york city showed the pace of growth in New york city production activity sped up by more than anticipated in the month of October.
The New York Fed stated its general service conditions index increased to 21.1 in October from 19.0 in September, with a favorable reading suggesting development in local manufacturing activity. Financial experts had expected the index to inch up to 20.0.
Looking ahead, trading on Tuesday may be impacted by response to reports on commercial production and homebuilder self-confidence.

In Ikebana the vase is just as important as the plant material you use. Each Ikebana piece is a unit formed of flowers and vase. The form, color, dimensions, and texture of the vase are all considered when selecting appropriate greenery and materials.
In principle, anything containing water can be used to create a floral piece in Ikebana. The challenge lies in harmonizing flowers and vase so as to create a fitting piece each time. The most common materials used to make vases are glass, clay, plastic, lacquered materials. In Europe you find a large range of glazed vases. However, these are often not suitable for beginners when creating traditional Ikebana pieces.

Maha arriving at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
On April 9, 2004, Maha Elsamnah Khadr and her 14-year-old son Abdul Karim, returned to Canada to seek medical help for Karim, who was paralyzed in the battle with the Pakistani military that killed his father -- who was holed up in a house with suspected Al Qaeda militants -- last fall. The Khadrs' return to Canada has stirred a fury of debate and anger among Canada's politicians, the public and the press. Was the government right to allow the mother and son -- who had admitted supporting Al Qaeda -- back into Canada where they are eligible for health-care coverage and social assistance benefits? Here is a sampling of Canadian editorials and opinion pieces.
» "Khadrs Wave Their Flag of Convenience"
"… The Khadr family last week strolled into Toronto waving a Canadian flag of convenience in their search for a surgical suite.
Elsamnah Khadr should be about 20 years too late to claim medicare for her 14-year-old son Karim, crippled in the 12-hour gunfight that claimed the life of his father, a notorious terrorist fundraiser.
And there's not much doubt she'd rather be elsewhere. Having deemed Canada unfit to raise her children lest they become drug addicts or, apparently worse, homosexuals, she left in the 1980s to expose her four sons to the joys of al-Qaeda training camps.
But her son's injury and the lure of free health care have forced her to return to a country she considered unworthy to live in and enter an Americanized culture her husband was allegedly committed to destroy. And that has caused a fury in the land, mixed with taxpayers' sense of helplessness as they watch Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty reluctantly cave to citizenship laws requiring him to extend the perks and privileges afforded any bonafide Canadian.
Clearly, the words of this matriarch and her outspoken daughter, the actions of her deceased husband and terrorist-suspect sons, and the notoriety of their infamous ringleader friends render the entire clan unworthy of citizenship or its benefits.
Sure, you feel for the son in a wheelchair. Even if he was actively engaged in the gunfight that caused his injury, this is a kid who was captive to an upbringing that undoubtedly forced him to graduate from toilet training directly to terrorist training. But the sins of his father are so many and this misuse of citizenship of such brazen self-interest, they lack any legitimate claim to Canadian compassion.
Various Khadr family members have worked as bin Laden confidants, injured Americans, raised funds for al-Qaeda, applauded the 9/11 tragedy and declared suicide bombing to be a public service. Elsamnah Khadr has been quoted as hoping her children die as martyrs to their extreme Islamic cause.
Nothing about this warped thinking fits with Canadian values. The only overlap is how Canadian tolerance and compassion allows this situation to develop and persist. If you visit the government Web site on citizenship, you will be told our core values are respect for cultural differences, freedom, peace, law and order and equality. In the Khadr world, a premium is placed on fighting and dying. They are not of our kind. …"
"… the family has effectively renounced everything this country stands for.
Except, of course, for our health-care system.
Karim needs medical treatment. So he and mom are back. It is hard to think of a more cynical abuse of the privileges of Canadian citizenship.
They will initially have to pay the teen's medical bills, because of his long absence from Canada. But they will ultimately be eligible for medicare. Foreign Affairs went to extraordinary measures to help them obtain exit visas from Pakistan and emergency Canadian passports for the trip.
Other Canadians -- say, Bill Sampson and Maher Arar, both of whom got no help from Ottawa while they were tortured abroad -- can be forgiven for wondering why the Khadrs merit such help.
They deserve Ottawa's attention all right, but for security reasons.
Even Abdulrahman [sic] has said his relatives could pose a threat to national security. But because this is Canada, an open, tolerant society, they will be able to resume their lives in safety -- no matter how grossly they have offended those values.
Let them reflect on that. And then let them try doing the same in bin Laden's hateful, evil, repressive, fundamentalist, terrorist world.
» "Can a Real Jihadi Be a Real Canadian?"
On the other hand, what were Ottawa's options? Responding to complaints, Dan McTeague, the Liberals' point man on the file, challenged critics to 'show me where [Maha Elsamnah and Karim] have committed a crime in Canada.' He has a point. Under Canadian law, joining or funding al-Qaeda has been illegal since December, 2001. But expressing solidarity with its aims while overseas is murkier territory.
Indeed the Khadr case shows how outdated our laws remain. Al-Qaeda's goal, lest we forget, is to destroy Western societies -- including this one -- and build on their ashes a global theocratic dictatorship. Its method for accomplishing this objective is random slaughter. Citizen or not, why should we be forced to accept any woman who embraces this creed, and, indeed, is willing to serve up her own flesh and blood in its furtherance? Has the Canadian concept of citizenship been so diluted by multiculturalism that no creed, no matter how radical or nihilistic, is out of bounds?
The vast majority of Canadian Muslims are peaceable and tolerant. It would be no insult to their religion to exclude from our shores that small minority who warp Islam's teachings to justify mass murder. … And there is no more reason to admit into this country al-Qaeda supporters than it would have been, 65 years ago, to admit unrepentant Nazis.
Our laws must be overhauled. In the future, Canadians operating abroad should be stripped of their citizenship once they publicly pledge their fealty to jihad. Likewise, non-citizen jihadis residing in Canada -- radical mullahs sponsored by foreign governments most notably -- should be expelled if they are caught preaching holy war in Canadian mosques. As for those jihadis who are both resident and citizen, there are a variety of laws prosecutors can use to discourage them -- including not only those against terrorism, but also hate speech, treason and violent incitement.
Maybe the Khadrs no longer espouse al-Qaeda's militant creed. Certainly, we hope that is the case. But regardless, their example shows that Canada's Islamists must be given a choice: Renounce this country or renounce jihad. This is a famously diverse nation. But even in Canada, diversity has its limits."
» "Intolerance at Centre of Khadr Controversy is Ugly"
"… Predictably, the return to Canada of partially paralysed 14-year-old Karim Khadr and his mother is generating howls from those who stir raw emotions with simplistic solutions to complex problems.
First Stockwell Day, the Conservative foreign affairs critic and lightweight cross that bears so heavily on Stephen Harper, seized the spotlight to demand the stripping of Canadian citizenship. Then Ontario Tory MPP Bob Runciman, who tilts as precariously right as the former Alliance leader, whipped froth into the growing hysteria by saying that along with losing their passports, the Khadrs should be denied social and medical benefits.
Stripped bare, both arguments irresponsibly appeal to the base instincts of the mob. They are also wrong.
In this diverse country, citizenship must be blind to political, religious and philosophical differences. Once legitimately taken, it cannot be legally withdrawn even from those who insult collective sensibilities or fall from favour with the state.
As for services, despite Runciman's histrionic posturing, the Khadrs will not be eligible for health and welfare benefits until they meet residency requirements.
Like Canadians of every creed and colour, the Khadr's have rights tempered by responsibilities.
What's far more worrying is the intolerance that is at the ugly centre of this controversy.
It is there in the matriarch's extreme words and the sad absence of empathy for the innocent victims of terror. And it's there in the knee-jerk response of politicians who would rather play to a narrow audience than accept a more constructive role in a darker drama.
Featured all too frequently in news headlines, that street theatre is seen in desecrated synagogues and cemeteries, in the burned-out library of a Montreal Jewish school firebombed to protest the treatment of Palestinians, and in the response of those who rushed there to wave Israeli flags.
Rather than joining the fool's errand of trying to strip from the Khadrs what is legally theirs, understandably upset Canadians and their political leaders could better spend their time reconsidering just what is required of citizens of a free, open and, yes, tolerant country. …"
» "McGuinty Suggests Khadr's Wife Apologize"
Ms. Elsamnah praised al-Qaeda and suicide bombers in a recent CBC documentary, but has since denied her family's involvement with the terrorist group.
Her husband, an alleged al-Qaeda financier and confidant of bin Laden, died in the gun battle with Pakistani security officers that injured her son.
Mr. Runciman wants the federal government to amend the law to allow the citizenship of proven terrorists to be revoked.
On Tuesday, Mr. McGuinty said the Khadrs' citizenship was a federal issue and the family would continue to be eligible for medical benefits and welfare in Ontario.
'I think it's important that we respect the rights of any citizens who find themselves in Ontario, especially when it comes to providing health care services,' he added yesterday.
On the CBC program, Ms. Elsamnah said she thought 'let them have it,' as planes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, killing nearly 3,000 people."
» "The Liberal Government is Wrong to Let the Khadr Family, Which Has Strong Al-Qa'ida links, Back into Canada"
That's simply too convenient. Now that her son needs better medical care than he can get amid the jihadi battlefields, Elsamnah becomes a proud and innocent Canadian, when mere weeks ago she was bad-mouthing the Western way of life to both Bell and the CBC.
The government's excuse that they were powerless to keep the Khadrs from returning because they are citizens is feeble and insulting. Under Canada's new anti-terrorism laws, the suspicion that someone might pose a security threat is enough to keep them outside the country, or at least detain them at the border until their case is resolved."

Buried in the following article is a statement about Netflix adding Saturday processing to all of its 58 fulfillment centers by the end of the year.
Currently, Netflix only processes DVDs Monday-Friday.
APRIL 23 - Netflix first-quarter profit and subscriber growth beat its own forecast as the company's video-streaming service appeared to have attracted more customers than expected. The company also said it would boost spending on its video-streaming service this year and planned to have its digital-delivery software embedded in most consumer-electronics components within a few years, though quashed talk of a streaming-only subscription option.
Net income jumped 68% to $22.4 million, or 37¢ a share, from $13.3 million, or 21¢, a year earlier, as sales rose 21% to $394.1 million. The company's subscriber base grew by a record 920,000 during the quarter and 25% from a year earlier to 10.31 million, the No. 1 U.S. movie-rental service via mail said in a statement today. Netflix was expected to earn 31¢ a share on $390.9 million in sales, the average analyst estimate in a Thomson Reuters survey.
Netflix has been augmenting its by-mail service with its video-streaming product and reached agreements last year to make its digital titles available for streaming through components such as Microsoft's Xbox 360 videogame consoles, TiVo digital video recorders and Blu-ray Disc players from Samsung and LG Electronics. The company plans to embed its software in most Internet-connectable consumer-electronics products within a few years, Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings said on a conference call with analysts today.
The strategy appears to be working, as Netflix beat its January earnings forecast of as much as 33¢ a share and its subscriber forecast of as much as 10.3 million. The company today boosted its end-of-year subscriber forecast from January by 5% to about 11.5 million customers and increased its full-year earnings forecast by about 9% to about $1.64 a share.
"While its clear that instantly streaming movies..is energizing our growth, our subscribers in total are renting more DVDs and Blu-ray movies than ever," Hastings said. Further DVD-rental growth will be helped as Netflix adds Saturday operations to all of its 58 fulfillment centers by the end of the year, Hastings said.
The company, which has estimated that subscribers for its DVD-delivery service will peak between 2013 and 2018, pegs its digital inventory at more than 12,000 titles, though blog HackingNetflix.com said last week that the number might be closer to 15,000.
Still, Hastings said a streaming-only subscription option was unlikely anytime soon, noting that since most of Netflix's digital titles are older, almost all of the subscribers who stream content also order DVDs by mail in order to get newer titles.
Since last week, at least three financial analysts said Netflix stock was overvalued, citing issues such as a 60% surge in share price this year, increased competition from Google's YouTube and the News Corp.- and NBC Universal-owned Hulu and the fact that Netflix doesn't charge extra for its streaming service.
Hastings also suggested that studios lower pricing on Blu-ray titles, noting that the 20% to 25% subscription-price premium Netflix is instituting this month for those who want access to Blu-ray titles is still less than the extra amount some studios charge Netflix for such titles. About 1 million Netflix subscribers were using the Blu-ray option as of last month, up from about 700,000 subscribers at the end of last year, while the company had widened its selection of Blu-ray titles in the previous six months by 60% to about 1,300.
Hastings added that while more customers who cancelled their subscriptions cited $1-a-night movie-rental kiosks, the rapidly growing sector was still more of a threat to brick-and-mortar stores because of the focus on newer titles.
"The long-term effects of ubiquitous $1 DVD rentals are not positive for us or for the industry as a whole," Hastings said. "By the end of the year, kiosks will be our No. 1 competitor."
According to a poster on the Hacking Netflix site, the Albany, NY distribution center has been processing DVDs on Saturday. Can anyone confirm this?
Albany NY shipped the past 2 Saturdays. Nice to get something on Monday - at least during the summer.
I was wondering this also. I received a shipping notice last Saturday for The Da Vinci Code blu-ray and I received it Monday. I normally mail out a movie on Friday so I get the following Tuesday new releases. I was hoping on getting Watchmen for Tuesday but instead got fooled with Saturday processing. Looks like I'll be mailing my discs out on Saturday now.
So, it appears they are processing DVDs here on Saturdays now.
I'm mailing The Da Vinci Code today because I want Fast & Furious for Tuesday. I ended up ordering Watchmen last night on Directv which was presented in 1080p.

A double negative is the use of negation twice within the same sentence. For example, "I did not hear nothing". Though the intent of this sentence may be to assure someone that I did not hear anything, the actual message that comes across is that I did hear something. This is why you should try to avoid these in writing and speaking to ensure that your target message is being portrayed correctly.
It is very important to avoid the use of double negatives in writing and in speech. Take a look at this sentence. "The man did not say nothing." This is what is call a double negative, because there are two negatives in this sentence. Some negatives would be "no", "not", and "nothing". "Nobody" would also be a negative. Notice here what these all have in common: The letters "no-".
There are some negatives that don't include "no", but many do. You cannot have two negatives coexisting in a sentence, because they cancel each other out. This sentence says, "The man did not say nothing." This is saying, if you take out the word "not", the man did say nothing. So, the man did not say anything. If you put the word "not" in there, you're saying that the man did not not say anything. You're saying that the person actually did say something. If you didn't track with me there, that's okay.
Here, you have the subject of the sentence and then the verb. You're saying that the person said nothing. There's only one negative in that sentence. Those are two possible remedies to the problematic double negative sentence right there.

Chapter 143: Bewitching Butterfly (2)
Su Chen activated his footwork technique. He looked like he was about to collapse under the pressure, but in reality everything was under his control.
Su Chen was still busy fighting the two of them when he suddenly felt his vision darken. He felt as though he was about to pass out for no reason.
He had just blocked the silver-armored youth's steel spear and was about to dodge the Dark Extermination Sword when this bout of dizziness slowed him down. In a moment of crisis, Su Chen forcefully pushed past the dizziness and twisted his body in midair. The edge of the sword brushed past his waist, and blood gushed out.
The sword only cut open a superficial wound, which burst open and formed a vicious wound. It was just a negligible scratch at first, but now Su Chen had sustained minor injury.
Su Chen retreated. He glanced at Jin Ling'er, only to see a bright smile on her face, her eyes concealing a brilliant light. He barely met her gaze before he felt the dizziness wash over him even more powerfully.
He knew the situation was not good, so he lowered his head, avoiding her gaze. Even so, that smile haunted his thoughts, and it even seemed as if there were faint laughter echoing in his ears, affecting his state of mind and his ability to interpret his surroundings.
Illusion Techniques!
Unlike Li, Jin Ling'er's illusion techniques could even penetrate into a person's heart. They excelled at attacking a person's consciousness.
Seeing the vicious wound on Su Chen's stomach, Jin Ling'er laughed, "He recovered quite rapidly. What a pity…... let's try again."
As she spoke, she turned around and floated into the air, her colorful clothing scattering the sunlight into blurred rays of colored light. At a glance, she resembled a colorful butterfly.
Jin Ling'er waved her hands. Wind formed around them, carrying a perfume-like smell, before she sent a gust to enshroud Su Chen.
Everyone who knew her would yell when they saw this. Jin Ling'er had even used her Jade Dew Fragrance!
The words "Bewitching Butterfly", just like "Poisonous Centipede", had two main implications. The word "bewitching" indicated the might of her illusion techniques and her ability to control the consciousnesses of others. The word "butterfly" referred to the Jade Dew Fragrance.
Although Jin Ling'er looked like she was being careless, in reality she had already taken out her trump cards.
The Jade Dew Fragrance floated on the breeze toward Su Chen.
Su Chen did not know what this fragrance was for, but that wasn't necessary to know it would not be easy to deal with.
His hands struck out as thunder rumbled, shaking up the fragrant wind and keeping it at bay.
However, against all of his expectations, this attack wasn't aimed at him. It had tricked him into making a move, but the silver-armored youth and Pan Yue simultaneously took in a deep breath. Immediately, their vigor returned to them.
The silver-armored youth stabbed his spear toward Su Chen. This strike was like a dragon shaking its tail, carrying with it a frightening momentum.
Su Chen swung his blade to block the spear. The violent power of the spear denied any attempt from Su Chen at blocking it, as it knocked the blade aside and stabbed Su Chen, piercing his defensive barrier. Pan Yue's Dark Extermination Sword also came flying in at this moment, its speed faster than before. Su Chen could not dodge it. He was left with only one option, which was to activate the Soul Eye which he had been preparing for a while now.
He originally planned to ambush Jin Ling'er with it. Although he looked like he was giving his full attention to this fight, he was calmly looking for an opportunity to deal with Jin Ling'er. However, he was forced by Pan Yue to use the Soul Eye prematurely.
Pan Yue's pause allowed Su Chen to speed past him, narrowly dodging their combined attack.
Su Chen was quite shocked. So that perfume isn't poisonous, it just raises one's combat abilities.
Had known this was the case, he wouldn't have tried to avoid it. Rather, he would have taken a deep breath and let his body take in as much as he could.
No, that's not right. Things definitely weren't as simple as that.
If that were the case, wouldn't the Jade Dew Fragrance only be effective against those who weren't prepared for it, and those who were prepared for it could react appropriately?
That meant......
Su Chen glanced at Pan Yue and the silver-armored youth. The two became even more filled with vigor.
Thinking it over, he began to put the pieces together.
It was highly likely that this Jade Dew Fragrance also had the ability to affect one's consciousness. If he had tried to breathe it in, assuming it was beneficial, he would have handed himself on a golden platter to his enemy.
He glanced at Jin Ling'er again, who was gently floating down from midair.
She was not disappointed by Su Chen's reaction to her Jade Dew Fragrance. She blew out a gust of air with her mouth instead.
The fragrant wind swept toward Su Chen, causing more illusory images to appear in front of his eyes. Everywhere he looked, he saw endless copies of Pan Yue and the silver armored youth charging at him. He was unable to tell which ones were real and which ones were fake.
This Jade Dew Fragrance was neither poison nor medicine. It was a Bloodline Origin Skill which could be controlled by those with the bloodline after being released. Not only could it bore into a person's consciousness and vitalize their combat ability, it could also apply illusions of varying shapes and sizes. It had an incredible variety of applications. Jin Ling'er was still young and couldn't draw out its full potential. Otherwise, the entire battlefield would be under the influence of her illusions. It would be next to impossible to distinguish between truth and illusion. The power of such a skill could be easily imagined.
Even if she couldn't draw out its full potential, Su Chen still found it hard to deal with.
He gazed at Jin Ling'er, then suddenly said, "I met Poison Centipede Kong Zhen. His poison was very powerful."
Jin Ling'er was taken aback. She had no idea why Su Chen would suddenly bring this up.
Su Chen continued. "But he was defeated. I also encountered a guy who was very proficient in battling at night, not at all hampered by the darkness, but he was also defeated. I also met an exam candidate skilled in the usage of chilling attacks. His Origin Skills could even neutralize all other Origin Skills, yet he was also defeated. They all were defeated because although their Origin Skills were indeed powerful, they were not invincible. They all had their own limitations."
Jin Ling'er's expression became slightly more serious. She watched Su Chen as he continued, "Your illusion techniques are powerful enough to let you control someone and use them as you please. According to reason, if you were able to control an expert, you would be invincible. But you didn't, did you? When you mentioned Ji Hanyan, you said no one would be stupid enough to provoke that crazy woman. That can only mean one thing: you can't control her. It doesn't stop there either - you can't even control existences like Zhang Sheng'an or Zhong Ding. Is that where the limitation of your Origin Skill lies? You cannot control those who are more powerful than you?"
A look of disdain flashed across Jin Ling'er's face. "Is this the discovery you made after battling me? So what, it's still enough to deal with you."
"No, that's not how it is!" Upon receiving Jin Ling'er's confirmation, Su Chen shook his head. "Control via illusion techniques doesn't depend on the target's strength, but on their willpower!"
Jin Ling'er revealed a shocked expression.
Su Chen laughed. "It seems like my intuition was correct."
"So what? How does knowing this help you in any way?" Jin Ling'er waved her arms, sending the fragrant wind into motion again. The illusions formed, concealing the attacks of Pan Yue and the silver-armored youth.
Su Chen went all-out to defend himself, but he continued to speak. "I'm not done talking yet. When you came, you only brought one person, but now you are controlling two people to deal with me. If your Origin Skill was that powerful, why didn't you bring more people to control? It's already been two days. If you wanted to, you could easily have controlled a few more people to do your bidding. But you didn't; instead, you only had one person with you. What does this mean? And earlier, you sent those two people to test me out before controlling Pan Yue. If you aren't stupid, why didn't you make the four of them attack me simultaneously? In addition, those two are still lying on the ground. You only have to wake them up and have them attack me simultaneously to make it a five-on-one fight. There's no way I could possibly win. So why haven't you done so?"
Jin Ling'er's expression finally changed.
Su Chen laughed. "That's because it consumes too much energy, right? You can control more targets, but every additional person you control increases the burden on you. You have only kept one person by your side, and only during battle will you temporarily add another one, maybe two. Thus, I have no need to go all-out with you. As long as I maintain my conviction, you cannot control me. And as long as I endure in battle, even if I can't defeat you, I can at least tire you out until you collapse. Tell me I'm wrong."
"Dammit!" Jin Ling'er began to panic.
Su Chen had hit the nail on the head. This was Jin Ling'er's greatest weakness. Although her control Origin Skill was very powerful and could cause others to do her bidding without question, she could not control those with a powerful will, and she could not control too many targets at once. Every second she controlled someone's consciousness, her Origin Energy was being drained, and if the target's will was attempting to resist, that consumption would greatly increase. If not for these drawbacks, she would be absolutely invincible - as long as she controlled Ji Hanyan, Zhong Ding, and Zhang Sheng'an, who could defeat her?
Su Chen had seen right through the weakness of her Origin Skill from the very beginning.
All he had to do was endure. He would let her exhaust her energy, and he would win.
There was one other thing he could do besides enduring, which was to taunt his opponent.
He said in a low voice, "Pan Yue, are you still asleep? Do you really want to be this woman's puppet for the rest of your life?"
Pan Yue's eyes became unfocused for a moment. The resistance of his will became stronger.
"Shoot." Jin Ling'er was shocked. She strengthened her control over Pan Yue, causing her energy consumption to skyrocket.
You two useless bastards, how come you still haven't taken care of him? Jin Ling'er cursed in rage.
At this moment, Su Chen focused all his attention on escaping, activating the Snaking Mist Steps to its limit. He didn't even bother counterattacking, instead choosing to delay as much as he could.
Jin Ling'er's expression turned uglier. "Bastard, do you think this tactic alone is enough to deal with me? Even without illusion techniques, the Bewitching Butterfly Jin Clan is not so easy to provoke."
A sword appeared in her hand as she shot toward Su Chen like a plume of smoke. She stabbed out, her strikes raining down like a blizzard.
The three bloodline experts attacked together. The spear wind and sword images generated a frightening turbulent flow.
When faced with the spear and sword waves, Su Chen could only retreat.
As he retreated, he pulled out all kinds of random items from his ring and slammed them toward his opponents. These included his cooking and eating utensils, such as a pot and ladle, as well as some beast hides and bones he had obtained after killing Vicious Beasts. There were even a few strange vials, beakers, and wine jugs.
Upon seeing such a scene, Jin Ling'er laughed. "You've run out of tactics, haven't you? Look at your sorry figure, you're just throwing garbage at me now!"
The three continued their onslaught amidst Jin Ling'er's maniacal laughter.
She flew into the air like a butterfly, scattering a hazy light through the air. One had to admit that even without her Bloodline illusion techniques, Jin Ling'er still possessed quite formidable combat prowess. With two people supporting her both sides, numerous Bloodline Origin Skills exploded forth. No matter what Su Chen did, he was unable to block it all.
However, at that precise moment, Jin Ling'er saw a strange smile appear on Su Chen's face.
When she saw that smile, she knew something was wrong.
An intense sensation of danger washed over her, but she couldn't tell where it was coming from. She instinctively retreated a few steps.
Su Chen retrieved his hand, then made a gesture like a lotus flower opening.
That was…... an explosion?
Fear appeared in Jin Ling'er's eyes.
All she could do was add a defensive barrier to herself as fast as she could.
A giant explosion blossomed at her feet, like a red lotus opening, tossing Jin Ling'er into the air.
