Chapter 316: The True Spirit's Eyes Open!
Now that the four divisions had made their departure, the city was mostly empty, occupied only by a small garrison of cultivators that had been left behind.
The forces of the Spirit Stream Division were the last to leave, mostly because of the vast number of people they had to transport. Furthermore, they weren't in Spirit Stream Division territory anymore, so moving the ninth mountain peak involved a huge effort. In fact, it would take several teleportations to get it all the way back to the sect headquarters on the Eastwood Continent.
Of course, Bai Xiaochun didn't have to get involved with the actual movement of the army, nor did the patriarchs have to waste energy on it. Zheng Yuandong was the sect leader, and it was in times like this that his authority was in full swing.
Some prime elders and even a patriarch stayed behind with the main force to escort them, but the founding patriarch took Bai Xiaochun and the other legacy echelon cultivators away ahead of them.
To use the teleportation powers of the ninth mountain peak required a significant wastage of power. However, as long as too many people weren't on the mountain, the sect could pay the price. It didn't take long before the light of teleportation was rising up into the sky. Countless cultivators looked up into the sky with respectful adoration at Bai Xiaochun and the other legacy echelon cultivators.
Sighing, Bai Xiaochun looked down at the earth far below. He wished he could take Big Fatty Zhang with him, as well as Hou Yunfei and his other friends. Even Zhou Xinqi. However, he didn't bother annoying the patriarchs with such a request. After all, with each additional person to be teleported, even more resources would have to be wasted.
"It's not that I don't want to help you out, brothers and sisters," he murmured, waving at his friends down below. "I just can't…." Even as Shangguan Tianyou looked on with gritted teeth, and Ghostfang gazed up somewhat blankly, Bai Xiaochun vanished.
Rumbling sounds echoed out, and Bai Xiaochun's vision swam. The power of teleportation gripped his mind for a while, and when things became clear, he found himself in midair above Mount Daoseed in the middle of the Spirit Stream Division.
The discomfort that came from teleportation didn't affect Gold Core cultivators, and as for Bai Xiaochun, he had a powerful fleshly body and a Heaven-Dao Foundation Establishment cultivation base. Although his face went a bit pale, and his cultivation base trembled unstably for a moment, after taking a few deep breaths, he felt fine. That caused the surrounding legacy echelon cultivators to look twice at him.
That was especially true of Li Qinghou, who seemed particularly pleased. It was on more than one occasion that, when in private with Xu Meixiang, he had brought up how proud he was of Bai Xiaochun.
"Come with me, Xiaochun!" said the founding patriarch, his expression serious as he strode forward. As for the other legacy echelon cultivators, they went back to the sect with the other patriarchs to begin making various important preparations. One of the reasons they had been teleported across continents to return was their status in the sect, but another reason was that they had an important task ahead of them.
They needed to create a fleet of ships, enormous vessels that could carry the divisions up the Heavenspan River. They would create a small fleet of Heavenspan Battleships!!
To make the trip to the Middle Reaches over land would be virtually impossible, and also incredibly dangerous. There were even some areas of the land that would be virtually impassable. The resources involved in making such a trip were difficult to imagine, and such wastage would put them in a bad position in the fighting to come. Therefore, after much discussion, the more than ten patriarchs of the River-Defying Sect reached their decision.
They would travel up the river!
Obviously, any ship that could go against the current in the Heavenspan River would be something completely beyond ordinary. The materials used to construct it would have to be meticulously selected. Obviously, neither the Pill Stream Division nor the Profound Stream Division was in a position to make such a vessel. Therefore, this vitally important task had come to rest on the shoulders of the Spirit Stream Division.
Although the Profound and Pill Stream Divisions had provided many of the materials necessary to make the ships, they still lacked material to make the keels!
The best thing to use for the keels would be the spine of some gigantic beast, and after much discussion, the Spirit Stream Division made a decision on what to use. What was now necessary was for the legacy echelon cultivators and the patriarchs to procure that beast spine, and then craft the battleships as quickly as possible. Then, they would have their Heavenspan Battleships, which would be able to carry the more than 1,000,000 cultivators of the four great sects!
Everyone immediately got to work without taking even a moment to rest. As for Bai Xiaochun, he followed the founding patriarch toward a restricted area behind Mount Daoseed.
"Xiaochun, your task is to do your best to concoct a River-Defying Pill. First, I'll take you to where the true spirit rests in slumber. Perhaps that will be of some assistance to you in your concocting work." Bai Xiaochun couldn't help but be nervous at the founding patriarch's serious tone. However, he was very curious about this most profound of the sect's reserve powers. At the same time, his heart was filled with respect.
"True spirit…." he murmured to himself. He followed the founding patriarch into the restricted area, and after having taken only a few steps, everything around him started to turn blurry, almost as if it were an illusion. Bai Xiaochun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried along nervously behind the founding patriarch. For some reason, he had the feeling that they were now somewhere deep underground, even beneath the Heavenspan River itself!
Soon, things became clear, and Bai Xiaochun saw an enormous karst cave up ahead!
Four cave entrances could be seen leading into the cave, with Bai Xiaochun and the founding patriarch standing in one of them. Down below, golden water could be seen. The glow of spell formations lit the entire area, which Bai Xiaochun quickly realized were connected to both the mountain peaks of the south and north banks, but also to the Heavenspan River itself! Furthermore, the spell formations seemed to be siphoning water from the river!
It wasn't an offensive spell formation, it was solely defensive.
Bai Xiaochun couldn't help but gasp at the sight of it. After looking around, his gaze came to rest in the middle of the karst cave, where he saw a coffin.
The coffin had no lid, and from his current vantage point, he could see that inside of it rested the corpse of a baby girl.
Despite being a corpse, the girl seemed to contain signs of life, as well as a profoundly ancient air….
Bai Xiaochun's mind instantly began to spin, as though something were sucking away at his consciousness. Suddenly, he felt as if he could see a supremely elegant woman walking toward him.
He felt like his soul and his body were suddenly beyond his own control. He forgot everything, even life and death. Even as he gazed blankly out at nothing, shivering, the founding patriarch whispered, "This is the true spirit of the Frigid School!"
Bai Xiaochun's mind began to recover, and he took a few steps back. His face was ashen, and his body was covered with cold sweat. The fear which he had felt moments ago continued to grip his heart.
The founding patriarch reached out and placed his right hand on Bai Xiaochun's shoulder."Your cultivation base is too low, so you can't look at her for too long. However, with my assistance, you should be able to last for about ten breaths of time. Hopefully that will be of some assistance in your concocting of the River-Defying Pill."
With that, he sent boundless cultivation base power into Bai Xiaochun, causing him to shiver as he once again looked over at the corpse of the baby girl.
This time, his mind didn't feel so much like it was being sucked away. He looked at the corpse as closely as possible, trying to commit every detail to memory.
Soon, the ten breaths of time were almost up. After a brief moment of hesitation, Bai Xiaochun decided that simply looking with his naked eye wouldn't provide much help to him in concocting the River-Defying Pill. Gritting his teeth, he opened his Heavenspan Dharma Eye.
The instant his third eye opened, what he saw was no longer the corpse of the baby girl. Instead, it was a supremely elegant woman lying there. Her eyes were closed, and she was completely unmoving. She was surrounded by writhing black mist that resembled countless maggots, which constantly attempted to chew their way into her body. Clearly, it was the spell formation and the water of the Heavenspan River that slowed their progress.
Inside of the woman's chest was a cauldron that emanated deep blue light. Apparently, the black mist maggots were terrified of the cauldron, and the light which shone out of it; they avoided it at all costs.
Unfortunately, the glow of the cauldron was very faint, as though it only contained the slightest scrap of power left within it….
Then, to Bai Xiaochun great surprise, something happened that he almost suspected was an illusion. The woman's eyes opened, revealing complete and utter blackness as she looked at Bai Xiaochun. "The River-Defying Pill draws life from the Heavenspan River water. Converge the energy of heaven and earth to stir the might of the frigid cauldron and suppress the power of the nine devils…."
Bai Xiaochun shivered and impulsively cried out, "She opened her eyes and said–"
Before he could finish speaking, the founding patriarch's face turned ashen, and blood began to ooze out of his mouth. Even still, a look of delight filled his face and he looked over at Bai Xiaochun.
"You saw the true spirit open her eyes? She spoke?!"
Bai Xiaochun nodded incredulously. The founding patriarch excitedly clasped hands and bowed to the baby girl, then led Bai Xiaochun away, peppering him with questions the entire time.
Even after stepping back onto Mount Daoseed, his eyes still flashed with excitement.
"The fact that the true spirit opened her eyes indicates that she also believes you have the potential to concoct the River-Defying Pill. Come. I'll take you to look at the one River-Defying Pill we have in the sect. After studying it, you can try to concoct your own!" He clasped Bai Xiaochun by the arm, and the two of them vanished. When they reappeared, they were outside an immortal's cave on the ninth mountain peak, a place heavily sealed by numerous spell formations. The founding patriarch immediately waved his hand, causing a box to fly out of the cave. When the box landed in front of Bai Xiaochun, the lid opened, revealing a violet medicinal pill.
It seemed completely ancient, as though it had been concocted countless years in the past. As soon as it appeared, strange colors flashed, and a huge wind kicked up. Bai Xiaochun could immediately sense an indescribable life force power within the pill.
"River-Defying Pill…."

Stars: 5 out of 5
Pros: Strong plot with fun historical characters
Cons: Climax could make some roll their eyes.
The Bottom Line:
New boss is murdered
Molly catches history
Hang on for the ride
For Her Second Case, Molly Has to Solve the Murder of Her Boss
Death of Riley, the second entry in the Molly Murphy Mysteries, finds recent immigrant Molly up to her Irish neck in danger in 1901
New York.
It's been several months since Molly arrived in
America, and she's still trying to find her
niche in New York City.
At policeman Daniel O'Sullivan's suggestion, she tries being a companion to a
wealthy woman, but her strong will and sharp tongue get in the way of that.
She really has her heart set on becoming a PI and using that business to hunt lost relatives. After much persuasion, she starts to assist Paddy Riley with his PI business. But she hasn't been there too long before she walks into the office one day to find her new boss dead. Why was he murdered? Molly's determined to use the few skills she has to find out.
I enjoyed the second in this historical fiction series. The author has done her research, and it shows. The detail is fantastic, and I was drawn into the world of 100 years ago. Not only does this research help with the physical details of Molly's world, but the attitudes are well shown as well. It truly was hard for a single woman to do anything at this time in American history.
I felt the plot in the first story dragged, but this book erases that problem. The plot moves quickly here until it reaches the climax. While the climax is a little out there, I enjoyed it for the historical events it incorporated. There are several sub-plots as well, most of which deal with the struggles Molly is having as a single woman in a strange city. They add the right mix to the overall story and never take over from the main story for too long.
I must admit I also liked Molly better this go around. She's the right mix of stubbornness and the naivete that would come from her previous life in a small Irish village. Her narration is half the fun as we see the world through her eyes and truly get to know her.
This book introduces us to Sid and Gus, two new friends who have become important supporting characters. They and their circle are a hoot by themselves and add another layer to the historical setting of the story.
If you like historical fiction or mystery, you'll enjoy the seamless mix of the two offered by Death of Riley. And if you love both like I do, you'll quickly be hooked on this engrossing series.
And you'll want to read the Molly Murphy Mysteries in order.

Named Country Hotel of the Year in the 2015 Good Hotel Guide, the Pear Tree Hotel at Purton works with buying specialist Lynx Purchasing to ensure that its menus, built around fresh, seasonal produce, are as profitable as they are popular.
Purtonis in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside, five miles from Swindon, between the Cotswolds and the Marlborough Downs. The oldest part of the building that is now the Pear Tree is the fireplace in the library. This has been dated to 1430, when King Henry VI was on the throne.
The building was originally Purton's vicarage, when it was located 400 yards away from its present position, in the churchyard next to the twin towered church of St Mary's. It was moved to its present site in 1912.
In July 1987, the Diocese of Bristol sold the house to Francis and Anne Young, who brought many years of experience in the hotel industry to their first venture in their own right. Having met while working at the Grosvenor Hotel in Chester, Anne went on to the Savoy in London and King Hussein of Jordan's Royal Palace in Amman, while Francis worked at the Sandy Lane in Barbados and opened both the Boston and London Marriott as Food and Beverage Director.
The Youngs initially turned the building into a restaurant and four letting bedrooms, and in the early 1990s the Pear Tree was extended to 17 rooms. The facilities now also include a conference room able to accommodate boardroom style meetings as well as weddings, and the recently refurbished Conservatory Restaurant, popular both with hotel residents as well as visitors coming especially for lunch or dinner.
Each of the individually decorated bedrooms and suites is named after a character associated with the village of Purton. These include, Anne Hyde, the mother of Queen Mary and Queen Anne, runner James Kibblewhite, cricketer EH Budd and Astronomer Royal Nevil Maskelyne.
The family connection has expanded along with the hotel's facilities. With Francis now retired, the founders' daughter Alix Young works alongside Anne as hotel manager, with her husband Tim also involved in the business.
The Pear Tree is part of thePride of Britain Hotelsconsortium, a collection of more than 40 independently owned hotels. Buying specialist Lynx Purchasing is the consortium's recommended buying partner.
"Until the start of 2014, we had used Lynx from time to time, but not regularly," said Alix. "We get calls every week from various purchasing companies, and we've always said that Lynx would be the one we'd use if we used anyone, because they've proved themselves with other hotels in the Pride of Britain group."
With the business growing, the family recognised that they needed support to take the Pear Tree to the next level.
"We had some financial consultants in to look at our whole business, and our food costs were identified as a concern. We really started looking into our profit margins, and areas where we could manage costs better."
A change of menu style in January 2014 put the focus on fresh, seasonal produce. "We moved to having lunch time menus that change daily rather than every three months. We really needed to start getting the most out of our ingredients, and out of our suppliers."
To cap matters, a change of personnel in the kitchen saw Adam Conduit step up to the role of acting head chef. "With all those factors coming together, we could see clear benefits in starting to work more closely with Lynx Purchasing, to support Adam as well as to improve our margins.
"It was a good time to start looking at changing food suppliers in particular, which is where Lynx has been a huge help. Lynx saw instantly that they could offer us better options in terms of alternative suppliers."
The Pear Tree now buys all it dry goods at prices negotiated by Lynx, which has generated savings of around 20% over the previous suppliers, "on basic goods, which is making a big difference. It's a significant saving in an area that isn't always the first you'd think about looking at." The hotel's cleaning and hygiene products are now sourced through a Lynx-nominated supplier, also generating substantial savings.
Given the focus of the menu, "with fresh produce you always have to strike a balance between quality and price," Alix acknowledges, but even here Lynx has delivered real improvements to the bottom line. Fresh fish is now sourced from a West Country supplier, generating savings of 8% for the Pear Tree over its previous supplier.
The Good Hotel Guide inspectors describe the Pear Tree as "a well-run, well-maintained hotel, with excellent service and good food." With the support of Lynx Purchasing, the award winning hotel continues to deliver on those high expectations.

Shannen and the Dream for a School
In 2012-2013 Shannen and the Dream for a School was the award recipient for First Nation Communities Read.
All children have the right to a school.
This is the true story of Shannen Koostachin and the people of Attawapiskat, a Cree community in Northern Ontario, who have been fighting for a new school since 1979, when a fuel spill contaminated their original school building.
It is 2008, and thirteen-year-old Shannen and the other students at J.R. Nakogee Elementary are tired of attending class in portables that smell and don't keep out the freezing cold winter air. They make a YouTube video describing the poor conditions, and their plea for a decent school gains them attention and support from community leaders and children across the country. Inspired, the students decide to turn their grade-eight class trip into a visit to Ottawa, to speak to the Canadian government. Once there, Shannen speaks passionately to the politicians about the need to give Native children the opportunity to succeed. The following summer, Shannen is nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize. Her passion and that of the other students makes politicians stand up and take notice, and becomes a rallying point for the community and for the country.
Shannen will never see her dream fulfilled. Tragically, she was killed in a car crash in 2010. Her family, friends, and supporters are continuing to fight and to honor her memory as they work for equality for children in communities everywhere.
Authenticity Note: This book has received the Authentic Indigenous Text label as it is written by Janet Wilson with the participation and support of members of the Attawapiskat community.

The National Retail Federation says it has launched a radio campaign in the home districts of key congressional members, urging them to insist on reasonable swipe fees for debit card transactions.
Currently, lawmakers are hammering out a final version of the Restoring American Financial Stability Act, and while it currently contains an amendment to keep these fees low, some are seeking to drop it altogether.
"With big banks and the credit card industry pushing hard to strip this important consumer protection out of the financial services reform bill, we want to make sure that members of Congress realize how angry small businesses and their customers are about these fees," NRF says in its release.
"These fees are driving up costs for consumers at a time when our economy is still recovering. Taxpayers have already paid for one bailout of the banking industry. Consumers shouldn't be asked to bail out the banks and the card industry again, but that's what would happen if this amendment is killed."

Kennewick, Wash. — By winning last year's NWAACC Championship, their fifth in the past 10 years, the Titans women's basketball team set the bar incredibly high for themselves.
Lane entered this season with almost an entirely new roster. However, the goal remained the same.
"We have expectations of winning the South Region and competing for an NWAACC title every year. That's our expectation," Lane head coach Greg Sheley said. "Now, being able to live up to those are another thing."
The Titans' hopes of repeating as champions were ended after a loss to Columbia Basin Community College in the NWAACC tournament semifinals.
Despite coming up short in their pursuit of another title, the fact that the Titans made it as far as they did is an accomplishment in itself.
Lane entered the tournament without starting sophomore guard Tori Mahaffie, who was sidelined with a knee injury, leaving the Titans with a starting lineup that featured four freshmen.
Their seven leading scorers were all freshmen, and only sophomore guard Haley Winter played in last year's tournament.
"I'm not disapointed at all," freshman point guard and leading scorer Shelby Snook said. "I'm very proud of how far my team got, especially after losing Tori."
The Titans finished the season 24-8 overall, with a fourth-place finish at the NWAACC tournament. It was their eighth trip to the final four in the past 10 years.
"We knew we had our work cut out for us with so many young women trying to figure out how to play the college game," Sheley said. "I'm very proud of the way we finished. I don't think the last game was (truly) representative of what we were."
Game 1— March 1: 71-68 win vs. Highline Community College Thunderbirds
Lane picked up its first victory on the tournament's opening day with a 71-68 win over the Highline Community College Thunderbirds, the third seed out of the NWAACC West region.
Both teams showed some early-tournament jitters. They combined for 18 turnovers and shot a combined 4-of-24 in the first half.
The Titans ended the half with a 31-30 lead and the Thunderbirds would continue to remain on their trail for the remainder of the game.
Titans freshman Heidi Walchi knocked down three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to give the Titans a 56-45 lead with 11:30 remaining.
However, Highline rallied back and cut the lead to as little as four after Thunderbird guard Allie Wethersby hit two free throws with 2:34 remaining.
On the next play, Lane Snook dribbled the length of the floor and converted an and-one layup to give the Titans a 67-60 lead.
Lane survived a free-throw battle for the game's last two minutes and picked up its third win of the season over the Thunderbirds. Snook led the Titans with 31 points and seven rebounds, and Walchi scored 11 points and grabbed four boards.
"I'm feeling ecstatic," Sheley said after the game. "I'm not even going to be critical. We found a way to win and that's all you have to do at tournament time."
Game 2 — March 2: 71-45 win vs. Community Colleges of Spokane Sasquatch
The Sasquatch, the fourth seed out of the East Region, upset top-ranked Bellevue Community College on day one to earn a spot in the quarterfinals against Lane.
Spokane went just 16-13 on the season, but featured one of the tournament's top players and the NWAACC's leading scorer, sophomore guard Riley Holsinger.
Holsinger showed how dangerous she was when she knocked down a deep three-pointer on the first play of the game.
However, Snook scored on the Titans' next three possessions, and Lane jumped out to an 18-9 lead to start the game, due to aggressive play on the offensive end from Snook and freshman guard Niki Duncan. Duncan connected on three shots from beyond the arc in the first half.
The Titans took control of the game with a 17-3 run midway through the first half and entered halftime with a commanding 42-25 lead. Lane kept their foot on the gas to open the second half, and Spokane never got within 14 points of the Titans' lead.
Snook led all scorers with 30 points, as well as 14 rebounds, and Lane used a tough zone defense to limit Holsinger to 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting.
"We wanted to make sure that everybody on the floor knew where she was at all times, so that if she got the ball, we were there," Snook said. "She's a great player."
Duncan scored 17 points for the Titans, and freshman forward Marikah Wright pulled down 13 rebounds and chipped in eight points.
Game 3 — March 3: 87-65 loss vs. Columbia Basin Community College Hawks
The Titans knew they were in for a tough matchup when they faced off with the top-ranked Columbia Basin Community College Hawks, the champions of the East Region.
The Hawks finished the regular season with a 23-4 overall record, and with their main campus only eight miles from the Toyota Center, they were essentially playing a home game.
Snook opened the game with a spin move through the lane for an easy lay-in, and despite some sloppy early play, the Titans jumped out to a quick 13-3 lead just five minutes into the first half.
After a timeout, the Hawks connected on three-pointers on back-to-back possessions, and scored several more buckets off of turnovers. Before the Titans could blink, their lead had suddenly evaporated, and they found themselves trailing 17-16 midway through the first period.
"They shot the ball extremely well," Sheley said. "We didn't do a great job of recognizing which shooters to get out on."
The Hawks turned up the pressure near the end of the first half. They double-teamed Snook on every inbound pass and forced the Titans to commit 11 turnovers, including five from Snook.
The Hawks ended the half with an 11-2 run, and the Titans limped into halftime, trailing 45-34.
Lane bounced back with a 7-0 run of its own to open the second half. Snook connected on layups on the Titans' first two possessions, and Duncan knocked down a deep three on the next to bring the Titans within four.
However, the Hawks responded with a 14-4 run of their own, and from there, things started to unravel for the Titans. Columbia Basin extended its lead to 73-57 with nine minutes remaining, and the Titans never got any closer.
Columbia Basin's bench players scored 58 points in the game, including a combined 16 from backup guards Lindsay Oswalt and Lacie French in the second half to help lead the Hawks to victory.
Snook led the Titans for the third consecutive game with 25 points, and Duncan added 11 points and four steals. French paced the Hawks with 20 points and 11 boards. Guard Kellie Ross also scored 20, while shooting 6-of-11 from three-point range.
"They clearly knocked down threes. They were a good team," an emotional sophomore guard Jolene Chanco said. "It just didn't fall for us today."
Game 4 — March 4: 71-50 loss vs. Blue Mountain Community College Timberwolves
With third place on the line, the Titans faced Blue Mountain Community College on the tournament's final day.
The Timberwolves finished third in the East Region during the regular season with a 19-8 record and picked up wins over Whatcom and Clark community colleges before losing to Umpqua Community College in the semifinals.
The Titans were worn down from the previous day's loss, and it showed early in the game.
They turned the ball over on three of their first four possessions and quickly found themselves in a 12-4 hole.
Duncan knocked down a three at the 15:20 mark to end a four-minute scoreless drought for the Titans, but the Timberwolves responded with another 9-2 run, which carried them into a 42-27 halftime lead.
Nearly four minutes elapsed before the Titans scored their first second-half basket, and by that point, Blue Mountain had taken over the game with a commanding 51-29 lead.
The Timberwolves led by as much as 30 at one point, and by the second half, Sheley had emptied his bench in order to give the Titans sophomores some minutes in their final game.
"I'm really proud of my team, we played some of our best basketball at this tournament," Snook said. "This last day was tough. We didn't come out prepared to play. I take responsibility for that a little bit."
Wright led the Titans with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Similar to the game before, the Titans' struggles started with poor long-range shooting. They shot 3-of-22 from beyond the arc.
"It was pretty tough, because it's hard to find the motivation when you have your eye on the prize and then you realize that third place is the best you can do," Duncan said. "It just didn't work out the way we wanted it to."

After cruising New Zealand's most spectacular natural sites in Fjordland, you'll call on Lyttleton, your access point to Christchurch, The Garden City of the Plains. But don't leave Lyttleton without seeing Ohinetahi, a secret garden filled with lush paths and peonies that surround the home of Sir Miles Warren. Fans of Lord of the Rings will be excited to visit Wellington and see the sites where the trilogy was filmed. Non-fans will love taking a cable car up the mountain for sprawling views. Thanks to adventure novelist Zane Gray, Bay of Islands has enjoyed the spotlight for its big-game fishing, but beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts are just as passionate about the many possibilities.

|Cruise Ports
|Port Kembla, Australia (EMBARK)
|6:00 pm
Port Kembla, Australia
Located in the Wollongong Region, Port Kembla - also known as the "Gong" - is about 50 miles south of Sydney. Its easy accessibility to its northern neighbour (just hop on the rail), laid-back vibe, charming bar and restaurant scene and variety of activities makes it a town worth exploring. Go for a swim and soak up the sun on North Beach. Or check out the stunning overlooks at Royal National Park. Meerkats, lemurs and tigers, oh my!. Those are just a few of a wide range of local and exotic animals you'll see at Symbio Wildlife Gardens & Zoo. And be sure to take the kids to the Science Centre & Planetarium. It's out of this world!

|Milford Sound, New Zealand
Milford Sound, New Zealand
Carved by ancient glaciers, Milford Sound, which is really a fjord, is the crown jewel of Fiordland National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is only nine miles long from its head to the open sea, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in grandeur. Its vertical cliffs covered in verdant rainforests provide a breathtaking backdrop to thundering waterfalls, misty rainbows and the tannin-stained waters of the fjord. Below the surface is the largest population of black coral in the world. Milford Sound receives an amazing 22 feet of precipitation annually, yet there are only two permanent waterfalls, Lady Bowen and Sterling Falls. Depending on the weather, waterfalls can appear around every corner, cascading down the mountain in spectacular fashion. Rising upwards of 5,555 feet, the iconic landmark of Milford Sound is Mitre Peak, named for its resemblance to a bishop's hat, known as a mitre. Five individual peaks create its distinctive shape.
|Cruise Doubtful Sound
Cruise Doubtful Sound
Although technically not a sound (it's a fjord), Doubtful Sound is the second longest in New Zealand-and the country's second most famous tourist attraction. It does, however, capture the top spot for being the deepest, at over 1,300 feet. Doubtful Sound sits at the far southwest corner of the country and winds its way for 24 miles, past small islets and lush mountains covered in dense, native rainforest. With a staggering amount of precipitation, up to 240 inches, it's no wonder that it's so verdant, and also why most days are wet and misty with low-lying clouds. But where there is rain, there are rainbows, which makes for spectacular scenes, especially at the many waterfalls, some of which fall over 2,000 feet. Doubtful Sound is also home to fur seals, crested penguins, bottlenose dolphin and whales. Black coral even grows here at relatively shallow depths (35 feet) thanks to the sunlight's inability to penetrate the top layer of freshwater, stained heavy with tannins from the forests.
|Cruise Dusky Sound
Cruise Dusky Sound
At 25 miles in length, and five miles wide at its broadest, Dusky Sound is the largest and most spectacular fjord in Fjordland National Park. Captain Cook named Dusky Sound in 1770, as he sailed past its entrance at twilight. Three years later, he returned and stayed 47 days as his crew repaired and replenished his ship, Resolution, after sailing 11,000 nautical miles from Cape Town. You can still see evidence of his landfall at Astronomer's Point, an overlook where the crew removed trees, so the ship's astronomer could get a reading on the stars. Dusky Sound is only accessible by boat or plane making its remoteness a haven for birds and a breeding site for Fjordland crested penguins. These endangered creatures are easy to spot with their bright yellow eyebrows. Other wildlife to look for include sunbathing seals on Seal Rock and southern right whales at Preservation Inlet. Upon entering Dusky Sound, it's customary to make a resolution as you sail past Resolution Island, named after Cook's ship.

Right, well I am trying.
It is hard. It is hard because I don't want to hate it. I don't want to be unhappy, or unsatisfied, or just... this. I don't want this.
But this, this is what I have got.
I am trying so hard to make the best of it. I am trying so hard to find the silver linings, the bright sides, the fun stuff.
The thing is, it sucks, hard.
It is hard to feel happy. It is hard to find that joy. It is easier to sleep. It is easier to let it all slip over me. It is easier to say, "I give up. I quit. I am done with this."
For now, I am resolving to keep trying to try. I am just going to hold on. Because, when it comes down to it, it is for me. I need to try for me.

After a long time, he saw a gasoline station and a drive-in.

The Philly Eagles will have to open their Super bowl title defense without their star Quarterback Coach, John DeFlippo. The Philly Eagles chalked their names among the Super Bowl greats when they clinched their first title earlier this year. One man that was crucial to that success was John DeFlippo. DeFlippo had been on the radar of other NFL franchises but he still managed to contribute immensely to the success of the Philly Eagles.
DeFlippo officially opened a new chapter when he concluded talks with the Minnesota Vikings as their new offensive coordinator. DeFlippo was announced shortly after Pat Shurmur headed to New York as the Giants head coach. The former Eagles QB coach beat out 4 other equally adept picks, such as Kevin Stefanski, the current Vikings quarterbacks coach, Darrell Bevell who is currently Seahawks coordinator, Saints assistant coach Dan Campbell, and Texan's coach Sean Ryan. He had also been interviewing to take the reins at the Cardinals and the Bears.
DeFlippo has become synonymous with making stars out of rookies. His hiring will shake up the NFL, if only for a year, as he could be headed for a head coaching gig next year. In the new position, he will be tasked with choosing a QB. Even though he will be working the more defensive-minded Vikings head coach, Mike Zimmer, he is largely credited with turning the likes of Carson Wentz and Nick Foles into super reliable players.
Fondly known as Coach Flip, he will have to work his magic on Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, and Teddy Bridgewater who are all headed for free agency. However, with Nick Foles also set to leave the Eagles on free agency, DeFlippo and the former MVP could reunite and reshoot for a possible Superbowl win for the Vikings.

Tarot cards have been around since the 15th century in various European card games, but were not used in divination rituals until the late 18th century, which is how they are used today almost exclusively. Containing four different suits (wands, cups, swords, and circles) and 78 different cards, a deck of Tarot cards is spread out on a surface in a certain pattern, and depending on the type of card and its location, the deck describes different aspects of the life of the person being read, including their past and emotions. Two of the card groupings in Tarot are Major and Minor Arcana, and it's a Major Arcana card we will be focusing on today.
The Judgement Card of the Major Arcana group is the topic of discussion today, and we will explain all about this card, including what it means and the symbols associated with it. If you'd like to learn more about Tarot before splurging on a deck of your own, check out this course on the meaning of Tarot cards, and this article on the High Priestess card to get a better idea of what it's all about.
The Story Behind the Judgement Card
We'll begin our discussion of the Judgement Card by describing the illustration that accompanies it. On it, several people, men, women, and children, are rising from their graves, rejoicing beneath the archangel Gabriel, who is blowing a trumpet. These people are awaiting a judgement from the angel, requesting sympathy from him. In the background are mountains and large wavelike formations that symbolize not only insurmountable obstacles, but also the fact that they cannot avoid judgement.
On some versions of the Judgement Card, there are certain symbols that are found in other cards of the Major Arcana, including Gabriel's red and white banner, reminiscent of the Magician's clothing, and water, which harkens back to the river that flows throughout Major Arcana, beginning with the Empress. This repetition is meant to emphasize the fact that, in life, as with everything else, the beginning is tied to the end, and the end is simply another beginning.
Judgement in the Past, Present, and Future Positions
Once a Tarot card is placed in front of you, its position dictates whether the card refers to your past, present, or future, and each position relays a different message. In the past position, Judgement indicates that you have made a big decision, either in your distant or very recent past, that relates to a specific way of thinking. Judgement doesn't say whether or not the decision was a good one, rather that your current situation, specifically, the one that made you consult the Tarot in the first place, was dictated by the outcome of this decision. You may even be defining yourself by this decision, causing you to take stock of your life.
In the present position, Judgement spotlights the finality and the internal conflict you are having due to a present decision. This decision, says Judgement, looms large in your eyes, even if it seems insignificant to others. Judgement is different than other cards in that it involves your free will, as opposed to the inevitability that surrounds other cards, and it signifies that whatever the outcome, the thing you end up deciding will have grand repercussions.
Finally, in the future position, Judgement wields its most power. It insinuates that your decision will have negative effects on your future life, rendering you miserable and guilty, but an incident of some type lies ahead that will unburden you, opening up your eyes to many possibilities, and, like the people depicted on the card who are rising from their grave, you, too, will hear a Heavenly trumpet being blown, resulting in a new lease on life. If you need a new outlook on life, this course on positive thinking techniques will change how you look at things.
Judgement Applied to Aspects of Your Life
Each of the Tarot cards are able to not only speak to your general life, but to specific aspects of it, offering up a special message designated for each.
- Work Judgment says your work efforts are being scrutinized, and that you should put in a bit of extra effort, especially in the details. If your efforts are successful, you will reap the benefits, but if they are in vain, prepare to find new work.
- Love In the area of love, Judgement dictates that you should make clear what you want out of your current relationship, then make an effort to achieve that. If not in a relationship, you should expect something promising soon, but make sure to not rush in and jump to conclusions about your new love.
- Finances Financially, Judgement is a very promising card, indicating that money is coming your way, but to be cautious, and take things slowly.
- Health Judgement says you will feel better physically and spiritually if you let go of any past wrongs that were done to you that you still hold on to, and, specifically, those dealing with chronic illnesses will benefit from any cleaning of the slate.
- Spirituality Concerning spiritual matters, you will find yourself exploring new avenues that you never thought you might explore, and as a result, may find truth and wisdom there. Judgement urges you to be adventurous in spiritual matters, and you will benefit in the end.
Judgement Combinations
Part of the richness of Tarot is the fact that, when combined with other cards, certain cards take on more nuanced meanings, and the Judgement Card is no different. Here are a few of the combinations.
- When paired with the Hermit Card, Judgement says your relationship is about to end, but with a period of productivity as a single person to follow.
- The Lover's Card indicates that your current relationship is about to kick into high gear, with a marriage or move-in imminent.
- A combination with the Temperance Card indicates that you will decide to stop drinking or doing drugs.
As you can tell, there aren't many straightforward answers in the world of Tarot, making it mysterious and alluring to some, and a simple parlor trick for others. If you're in the mysterious and alluring camp, and love the Tarot, perhaps you'd like to make a profession out of it. This course on becoming a professional Tarot reader from scratch, and this course on mastering Tarot for a profit will have you reading the cards for money in no time.

Oak Grove powers past O'Hara
By Shawn Roney The Examiner
Oak Grove emphatically refused to squander its rematch with O'Hara.
The Panthers, who lost to the Celtics 31-24 in Week 2, cruised to a 63-35 win Friday night at O'Hara for the Class 3 District 7 football championship. Oak Grove (10-2) piled up 519 rushing yards en route to the victory, including 290 yards and three touchdowns on 33 carries and a TD reception by senior Aaron Graham.
"We ran the football well, and I thought we did a good job blocking up front," Panthers coach Pat Richard said. "It was a good ballgame for us on offense."
Richard and Graham agreed that having four starters Friday who didn't play in Week 2 was key to the outcome in the rematch.
"Three of them were our linemen," Graham said. "They worked so hard in the offseason, so it was hard without them. ... We still put up a good game ... in Week 2, but we just fell short. We knew they were hungry coming into this game, and they did a really good job."
In avenging the loss, the Panthers secured a rematch with Maryville, which trounced St. Pius X 61-24 for the District 8 title on Friday. The Spoofhounds, who have a 42-game winning streak and are the two-time defending Class 3 state champions, defeated the Panthers 42-20 in the 2013 quarterfinals at Oak Grove.
"Hopefully, we can slow them down a little bit (and) stay close with them," Richard said.
The Panthers will be ready, Graham suggested.
"Our saying here is, 'Respect everybody, fear no one' – and we don't fear anyone," he said. "We're out with the same mission they have – and it's to win the state championship. We've just got to win and keep going."
The rematch is set for next Friday at Oak Grove.
"That's the big benefit of losing to these guys (Celtics) in the regular season. ... Now, we get Maryville at home," Richard said.
Graham believes having home-field advantage is "a big key."
"Our fans are a big part of us," he said. "We love the support they give us and the way they travel ... but it's so much better to have a home game because everybody comes out and has our back. It's good to have all that screaming and shouting going on."

This time of year is a busy one. We hardly have any time to relax because we are simply too occupied with too many things. Work, Christmas preparations, children (if you have them) and more. There is no time to breath. I don't know about you but this is my reality. For the record, I do not have children but I do feel very busy. So busy in fact that I feel something, or rather someone, inside of me plea for a break. A moment to relax. Some peaceful time. And I would truly love to give myself a minute but too many things are asking for my attention. But do they really? Or is it my own desire to show the world a perfect picture of myself?
This is the question that has been going through my mind in the last couple of weeks. The reason why I started pondering about this subject is because a month ago I felt the Holy Spirit ask me to cancel something from church. I felt miserable, especially since I do go very often. I hardly ever skip. It bothered me so much that I felt anxiety attacks coming up. Something inside of me was whispering that I had to go. What if I miss something important? What if they will stop liking me because I didn't go? Seriously the craziest ideas came to mind. Ideas that forced me to stop myself and think very carefully!
In my early twenties I was diagnosed with a General Anxiety Disorder. Even though I haven't noticed it for at least five years, I gradually recognised that it is back. A year ago I had to have a wisdom tooth pulled out and it was such a traumatizing experience that my anxiety disorder came back in full force. My mistake was that I ignored it for too long. I know the signs and symptoms but I stuck my head in the sand. Until I was in it so deep that I couldn't ignore it any longer. A stupid act on my part, especially since I have the skills to deal with it. (skills I learned in therapy) If I would have applied these skills early on, it would not have gone this far.
The skills I learned are easy. Whenever I become afraid I ask myself questions. Why am I afraid? What happens when my fair becomes a reality? And what is so bad about that? After asking myself these questions, I search for ways to turn my thinking around. By slowly changing the thoughts in my mind, I change my perception also. For example; I am afraid to cancel a get-together from church because I am afraid that people will stop liking me. The first question I ask myself is, what will happen if people indeed stop liking me? Well I would feel pretty bad about myself. I would also feel very alone.
Okay, next question. What happens if you feel bad about yourself? What happens if you feel alone? Nothing. Nothing would happen.
Another question. Is it rational to be feeling these feelings? No because in reality I am not alone. If some people won't like me, I still have plenty of other people left who will. People like my mom and dad, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, grandmother, my good friend. On top of that I will always have God. God will never stop liking me. So my feelings aren't rational.
By repeating these questions, I can slowly change my perception. In the end, the fear will become smaller and smaller, and often even disappear.
What also helps me is to reduce stress by planning moments of rest. It can be tricky at times but it is so valuable. Our bodies and minds need rest from time to time in order to recharge. Without rest, we would be developing a burn-out in seconds rather than minutes. I am learning therefore that it is good to say, "No" at times. In this case, I said no to church, to give my mind a moment of rest. You know what the point is? Our bodies may be able to handle a lot of stress but that doesn't mean that our minds are the same! Sometimes we can physically deal with a lot of work, while we mentally feel tired and weak. We have to try and find a balance in our life, where we can be meaningful and stress-free at the same time. A balance between duties (work, activities, family etc.) and rest.
I started my blog with a question. Am I really so busy or is it my own desire to show a perfect picture? I say yes. I am trying to show a perfect picture. I am trying to prove myself to everyone. I am trying to prove that I am worth it. But is this a rational thought? No because I am worthful for God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I do not need to prove myself in order to be loved. God the Father said it Himself two months ago, "I love you regardless of what you do". I do not have to earn His love. I receive it for free.
And you know what! My parents also love me. And so do my brothers, even if they forget to show me sometimes. I have God (three-in-one) and a loving family. What more do I need? The only person I need to convince that I am worthy is myself. It doesn't matter what other people think of me. What is most important, is what I think about myself! If I keep on finding my own inner happiness, I will be just fine.
"I see the sunflower in you. And all I ask, is for you to see it to". (From the poem 'The Sunflower, spoken to me by God the Father)

On January 2, 2008, two new special condition indicators for use on inter-dealer transactions were implemented in RTRS:
Trades reported with the above Special Condition Indicators will be included in the Lateness Breakout portion of the Dealer Data Quality Summary (DDQS) reports, also known as "Report Cards," beginning with the reports that cover August 2008 trades. In addition, the "away from market" indicators, M2c0 and M9c0, which fall under the end-of-day reporting deadline as of January 2, 2008,[2] will be shown as new categories on the Lateness Breakout.
The Lateness Breakout portion of the DDQS reports has a category for each type of reporting deadline, showing how many trades were reported timely and late relative to that deadline. The enhanced reports will be formatted to show the new deadlines. In the following hypothetical example, newly added lines are shown in larger type.[3] Only the inter-dealer portion of the report is shown. The customer portion of the report will be similar. "EOD deadline (away from market)" categories will be added to the customer portion, but the RTTM-related categories will not.
RTRS produces threee versions of the DDQS reports: a DDQS for clearing brokers covering one month, the same report covering 12 months, and a Dealer Data Quality – Summary of Correspondent's Trades (DDQ-SC) for correspondent dealers covering one month.[4] The new categories will be on all versions covering August 2008 and forward.
The DDQS reports are available through RTRS Web. Click here for the updated user guide to the reports.
The newly added categories will not be available on DDQS reports covering trades submitted before August 1, 2008. RTRS correctly scored trades in those categories as timely or late, based upon the Special Condition Indicator and the actual time of submission, but the trades were not separately tabulated in the Lateness Breakout because the categories were not present on the report. Therefore, for January through July 2008, trades that a dealer may have submitted with indicators Mc40 or Mc50 are not tabulated. A difference will result between the "Total Number" shown at the top of the Lateness Breakout and the "Total" at the bottom. The difference will be equal to the number of trades not tabulated.
From January through July 2008, "Away from market" trades (M2c0 and M9c0) were correctly scored as timely or late relative to the end-of-day deadline, but on the lateness breakout they were tabulated as though they had the 15-minute deadline. An M2c0 or M9c0 trade submitted after the end of trade date was scored late but was listed in the "15 minute – late" category of the Lateness Breakout; similarly, such a trade submitted before the end of trade date was scored timely and was listed in the "15 minute – timely" category.
Any trade submitted with Special Condition Indicator M230 or M930, indicating both "variable/commercial paper" and "away from market," will be tabulated as an "away from market" trade.
Questions about this notice may be directed to a Transaction Reporting Assistant.

Volatile markets can eat a portfolio alive -- but they can also create real bargains for investors, according to senior editor Jeffrey Kosnett of Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
At the top of his list is Apple.
"It's been a great year for Apple's business," Kosnett told CNBC.
"Why should a stock go down 20 percent in three hours, like it did the other day? They just had the misfortune to announce their earnings on the morning of the 'great panic.'"
Then, there's American Capital Strategies.
"The easy rap on that is that we're going to have a recession," Kosnett said. "But if you look at the quality of their positions, and the kind of companies they're in, it's very diversified, and they'd have to have a lot of problems for that dividend to be impaired."
American Expressis another victim of over-reaction, he believes.

Since the dawn of the Internet, millions of users have dreamed of getting true high-speed connections.
Well, fasten your seat belts folks…
A new breakthrough promises to provide Web and other computer networks links that are 85,000 times faster than what we have today.
No, that's not a misprint. But it is so fast it's hard to get your mind around-especially for those of you who remember using phone lines to surf the web.
Back then it seemed you could take a break, paint your house, cut the grass and clean the kitchen — and still get back to your computer before it finished downloading a photo.
Forget video. That sounded like a sci-fi fantasy.
Admittedly, it's gotten quite a bit faster since then. Over the past decade millions of users around the U.S. have joined the broadband revolution. It's now becoming standard to link to the Web at speeds of at least 10 megabits per second, or about 175 times faster than dial up.
But even at those speeds, the magnitude of the change I'm describing is hard to fathom. But I'll try.
Think of it this way: If dial up was a one-story home, then today's broadband would stand almost twice as tall as the Empire State Building.
Yet, to equal what I'm calling Ultimate Broadband–or 85,000 times faster than what we have now– you'd have to string Empire State Buildings 1.3 times around the entire surface of the Earth!
Internet Speeds Beyond Belief
It works using twisted beams of infrared light.
Now you know why this innovation will be so crucial for the future of broadband communication and entertainment.
Having just upgraded my home theater, I can speak from personal experience. Super-fast connections are what's driving the next wave of home entertainment and data services.
And here's the thing: you won't need wires to take advantage of these incredible speeds.
In fact, a global team lead by the University of Southern California used wireless gear to prove the system works. They achieved speeds of 2.5 terabits (2.5 trillion) per second.
They beamed data over open space in a lab. The idea was to simulate the type of link that might occur between satellites in space.
Team members manipulated eight beams of light. They twisted each one into a spiral shape. Turns out twisted light beams are very powerful because they can encode huge amounts of data.
This, by far, exceeds anything we can get today with radio frequencies used for WiFi and cellular networks.
Next up: adapting the system for fiber optics like those often used to transmit data over the Web.
I believe we are still several years away from making light-based data links standard. But I do predict this breakthrough will help lead us to the Holy Grail of computers — harnessing the speed of light.
To me the question isn't if we'll have optical networks– but when.
Blazing Fast Computers
Here's the thing. The USC news came out the exact same day that a second research team reported a breakthrough using light to create super-fast computer chips.
This one deals with an arcane field known as quantum computing. It's complicated so I'll simplify it for you.
Today's chips depend on the use of electricity to move or store data.
Quantum systems go much deeper — they rely on basic atomic-scale elements like photons. Think of these as tiny pieces of light that have neither mass nor electric charge.
But they do have speed. Lots of it, in fact.
Just ask the team from the University of California at Berkeley and the City College of New York who did the study. To encode data, they used light to control the spin of an atom's nucleus.
The result: chips several times faster than anything we can produce today.
Not only that, what they call "spintronics" would yield a huge increase in processing power — it would allow you to have multiple data streams running at the same time.
It gets better. The research team said chips would no longer remain fixed after they're etched in the factory. Spintronics would allow us to rewrite them on the fly.
Need a faster computer? Just zap your chip with a beam of light and you're good to go.
So you can see that light-based computers and networks represent a radical new approach to the way we obtain and share a wide range of data.
It's one of the reasons why I say the future will be like nothing we've seen before.

A fellow business blogger David Koay put this up his blog. Its a remarkable video. One that must be watched by all, especially our leaders. Even though I knew how the whole thing would turn out, it still made my eyes well up because it is so easy to have racism and discrimination instilled in us knowingly and unknowingly. Its powerful too. Kudos to the great teacher Jane Elliot.
Ms. Jane Elliott's "brown eyes, blue eyes" experiment in 1970 (the third one after her first in 1968). This "Eye of Storm" documentary was made by William Peters in 1970 for ABC News and later included in the documentary "A Class Divided" (1985), which included a class reunion (of 1984.)

The International Pruning Network maybe….
Well this has been kicking around in my head for a while, there's some brilliant groups out there in the world of horticulture, from alpines to cacti but there's none bringing together like minded gardeners (both professional and keen amateurs) who just love pruning and want to talk to others about it, share ideas and maybe ask about changing old ways of thinking.
6 thoughts on "The International Pruning Network maybe…."
I'd definitely be interested in joining in with this sort of discussion, as I'm about to start training a trio of air-pot grown, dwarfing apple trees at home. I'm also a volunteer gardener at Ordsall Hall in Salford, whose head gardener says it's time for the small orchard to have a bit of a re-think re: pruning and tree management, so it's a hot topic for me at the moment.
(On the technical side, I'd suggest a full WordPress install, maybe running the BuddyPress add-on for forum functionality. The only costs should be domain name registration at £10-£20ish for 2 years and then monthly hosting fees to rent the server space etc.)

I've Been Playing Around With Some New Jewelry Designs, So I'll Probably Be Completing A Few Of Those In The Coming Days. But It Sure Felt Nice Being Back At The Easel!
I've Taken A Step Of Faith And Ordered Some Larger Canvases - So Once They Arrive, I'll Be Planning Some New Larger Scaled Compositions. Working With The Smaller Panels Helped Me To Refocus And I'm Hoping I Can Really Give Myself Permission To Fully Explore My Depth As An Artist With The Large Pieces.
Hope Everyone Is Enjoying A Beautiful Week!

Richmond police investigating what appears to be an early morning home invasion.
Just before 4 a.m. Friday morning, police received a call about gunfire in a home on the 3200 block of Moran Ave.
When they arrived on scene they found a man shot multiple times and a woman dead in another room. The man is at the hospital in critical condition.
Police say someone inside the home called 911. They think it was a home invasion robbery or hot prowl robbery, meaning someone went inside to burglarize the home and got caught.
Richmond police are working with San Pablo police, searching for multiple suspects. They say they have already detained two people spotted in the area.
