Korea has abruptly cancelled a joint cultural performance with South Korea that was scheduled for Feb 4 Spencer Long Redskins Jersey , blaming South Korean media for encouraging ""insulting"" public sentiment regarding the North, said South Korea's unification ministry said on Monday.


The North said it had no choice but to call off the performance, which was to be held in the North Korean territory of Mount Kumgang, as South Korean media continued to insult what Pyongyang called ""sincere"" measures regarding the Winter Olympics Seoul will host next month, the ministry said.


Early in January Morgan Moses Redskins Jersey , North and South Korea launched rare talks to bring North Koreans to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics after the North's leader Kim Jong Un said he was willing to open up discussions with Seoul.


The two Koreas had been in discussions regarding final details over the joint performance. They were also talking about a different concert in South Korea by a North Korean orchestra and sending South Korean athletes to train at a North Korean ski resort.


The North added that the agreement on the Mount Kumgang joint performance had come despite conflict with its internal celebrations, the unification ministry said. North Korea has at least two major holidays coming up next month - Kim Jong Il's birthday and a military founding anniversary.


Seoul said North Korea's decision to cancel the joint performance was ""very regrettable"" and stressed Pyongyang should uphold all agreements made between North and South Korea.


President Moon Jae-in's administration has faced criticism for its response to North Korea's participation in the Games, especially after it decided to form a combined women's ice hockey team with athletes from the two Koreas for the Winter Olympics.


Many South Koreans have complained the unified women's hockey team - the only such joint team to be formed - was unfair to the South Korean players, going so far as creating over a hundred petitions against the unified team on the presidential Blue House's website.


The controversy has sent South Korean President Moon Jae-in's overall approval rating below 60 percent for the first time since he took office in May last year, according to a survey released last week by South Korean pollster Realmeter Jamison Crowder Redskins Jersey , dropping more than 6 percentage points since the previous week.

" Boating season is here!

Those are beautiful words around Lake Norman, NC where hundreds and thousands of families take to the water for a very broad variety of fun things to do. This mammoth man-made lake covers 38,000 acres and streatches from Huntersville to Catawba, which covers 33 miles.

There are so many different areas of the lake that it would be impossible to cover even a small percentage in one article. So, for brevity's sake Mason Foster Redskins Jersey , this article will focus on our favorite places to hang out on Lake Norman.

- Family Island - This small island just south of Governor's Island is a family delight. This island features wide sandy beaches and a gentle sloping entrance into the water that makes this island really good for families with small children. In some places you can walk out 40-50 feet and the water is only 3 feet deep. Kids absolutely love this island.

- Little Creek Cove - If you go just west of the Little Creek landing, there is a long cove that provides some of the best water skiing on the lake. Especially during the week, this cove provides a long, well-protected and wide cove that will test the endurance of even the best of skiers. This is where I taught all of my kids to ski wakeboard, and still one of our favorite places to go.

- Lake Norman State Park - If you are looking for solitude Deshazor Everett Redskins Jersey , head north and keep going. After you go under the 150 bridge, keep heading north for another 5-7 miles, and you start to see Lake Norman State Park. You will know you are there because of the tranquility and lack of homes on the water. Explore some of these coves, I know of one that is over 5 miles long. Some really good places to park your boat and hang out on the lake.

- Midway Restaurant - If you are looking for fine dining, this is not the spot. But if you are looking for a great greasy-spoon home cooking restaurant Rob Kelley Redskins Jersey , you've come to the right place. Breakfast at Midway is my favorite, but so are the daily specials. And don't forget to try their cheeseburgers "all-the-way". If you don't know what that means, you're not a local, but you should try one to see how good they are.

- The Hot Hole - Down near the Cowans Ford dam there is a place called the hot hole, presumably from discharge of the power plant. I've never been in it Ziggy Hood Redskins Jersey , but my family and many of my friends love the place. It's like jumping into a sauna, in the middle of the lake.

- The Landing - This is another Lake Norman tradition, and serves up great bar food. The chicken wings are famous, but all their food items are good. This place is very popular on the week-ends, and you might expect to wait over an hour for a boat-slip or table. The wait is definitely worth it.

This doesn't include the countless number of other great places to swim Zach Brown Redskins Jersey , jetski or simply hang out on the boat. One of our favorite past times (especially while the kids were younger) was to find a sandy stretch of beach, park the boat and spend the day. Those were great times - packing a picnic lunch, taking the dog and just having the best family time that you can imagine.
