The Avalon Of Five Elements
Chapter 149: Crescent Moon
Chapter 149: Crescent Moon
Translator: JL Editor: JL
Threads of elemental energy bubbled relentlessly from Ai Hui's pores, creating a ring of dazzling light.
Ai Hui's mind was blank.
The sword force in his body was as boundless as an ocean which was, at this point, rumbling with a fury. In the midst of the storm, Ai Hui's mental state was a helpless leaf constantly rolled about by the waves, falling, and being torn into pieces before finally being engulfed by the ocean.
Fatty's continuous beatings had facilitated the sword force within Ai Hui's body to actively penetrate outwards. Under normal circumstances, the elemental energy would not have been able to do this. Furthermore, due to his training, Ai Hui's skin was like copper, more tough and durable than an average student's. Thus, it was more difficult for the elemental energy to leak out of his pores.
Fatty's constant "efforts" had finally paid off. Vast amounts of elemental energy bubbled out from within Ai Hui's body like steam.
Once the elemental energy was drained away, the pressure within Ai Hui's body lessened. This allowed Ai Hui's unstable mental state to finally have a breather and regain an ounce of clarity.
"Ai Hui! Use your sword!"
Lou Lan's reminder was like an explosion in Ai Hui's mind but also seemed to be coming from the opposite end of the sea.
Use my sword?
In the midst of his confusion, a sword technique came to mind with lightning speed.
Within his elemental energy that was vast as an ocean was a slender bowstring that connected Ai Hui's left hand palace to his right hand's palace. The elemental energy cord with which he had always had difficulty was completed with ease while Ai Hui had been unaware.
At the moment of the elemental energy cord's completion, the elemental energy bubbling out of Ai Hui changed abruptly.
Instead of leaving him, it surrounded Ai Hui's surroundings while rotating at high speeds.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
It was as though there were countless sharp small swords flitting about speedily in the air. The stake and ropes that had initially tied him down became fragmented and of different lengths. They hovered in the air in segments, as if supported by an invisible hand. Constant cuts were made on the brick flooring beneath Ai Hui's feet by the sword, and chunks of brick flew wildly.
Within Ai Hui's body, the roaring of the elemental energy ocean stopped preemptively the moment the elemental energy cord was completed.
Time seemed to have come to a standstill.
As if Ai Hui had practiced it countless times, he was familiar with the move in its entirety. The Dragonspine Inferno, which had never left his hand, was placed horizontally before him. Together with a single stride, he swung the sword.
The Dragonspine Inferno, which weighed one hundred kilograms, was as lithe and agile as a skipping stone on water.
The elemental energy that had been dammed in Ai Hui's body rushed like the flowing waters of a dike and into the Dragonspine Inferno in Ai Hui's right hand.
As a spring vibrates with flicked, the deep thrumming of the Dragonspine Inferno gave rise to a slight tingle. A sheen of dazzling light appeared on the black body of the Dragonspine Inferno.
A crescent culminated on the sharp end of the sword, disappearing within moments.
The expressions of the dean and mayor changed after being exposed to Ai Hui's imposing manner. The dean was especially shocked. How could he have been ignorant of such a brilliant student at his school? Such an explosion of aura was not something easily surpassed. Even the top genius of Central Pine Academy, Duanmu Huanghun, would find it difficult.
How could a student have such an imposing air?
Wang Zhen, too, was incredibly amazed, but for different reasons from the dean's. When he received Shi Xueman and Sang Zhijun's reports, he did a thorough background check on Ai Hui. There was nothing about him that he did not know. Ai Hui had been born to a life of hard work, staying in the Wilderness for three years. An exception was made, allowing him to enter and train in the Induction Ground. He achieved the base level of two palaces and was also a disciple of Wang Shouchuan. Even Ai Hui's hand in the Bunny Hair's profit was not absent from Wang Zhen's knowledge; he had done an incredibly detailed investigation.
What made him deeply respect Ai Hui, however, was actually the fact that not only did Ai Hui survive two encounters with the blood beasts, but also that he played a pivotal role in the group's successful escape. Aside from Shi Xueman's and Sang Zhijun's reports, Wang Zhen had also seen the reports from Teacher Xu and Cui Xianzi. Both of them also mentioned Ai Hui as the one to have first realized that something was amiss.
Ai Hui seemed to have an extraordinary intuition towards the blood poison. It also happened to be the main reason behind seeking him out.
But all of the intelligence he received failed to mention that Ai Hui had such an uncanny capability for swordplay!
Was this truly two palaces? How could such frightening waves of elemental energy result from just two palaces? It most certainly had to belong to at least seven palaces! Could it be that this chap was concealing his talent?
He would not have been so shocked if it were simply the waves of elemental energy. The moment the tip of the sword transformed into a crescent moon, his facial muscles trembled involuntarily. Such awe-inspiring swordplay gave him goosebumps.
The sword seemed to head straight for his glabella; with the sword's next movement, it would even pierce him.
Both Wang Zhen and the dean reacted immediately.
Wang Zhen suddenly held a stained knife. His aura underwent a transformation, as though he had become another person. Even his height seemed to have increased. His bearing was indescribably fierce and severe. He wordlessly brought down his knife in a single stroke, its gleam similar to an inverted waterfall.
The dean's wide sleeves emitted large amounts bubbles like the ones blown by soapy water. Under the sunlight, they reflected a myriad of colors, dancing alongside the wind in a dream-like sequence.
The crescent which had disappeared from the tip of Ai Hui's sword appeared before them as if out of thin air. It intersected with the gleam from Wang Zhen's knife.
Like fragile porcelain, the crescent silently shattered into a multitude of fragments.
Wang Zhen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately held his knife horizontally and exerted his left palm outwards.
The shattered crescent suddenly transformed into numerous sword gleams and enveloped the entire courtyard.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
The sword ray collided with the bubbles. They popped as though pricked by a needle, bursting immediately. However, the dean's billowing sleeves seemed to be a bottomless pit, gushing out colorful bubbles in a relentless torrent.
The spheres increased in number, covering the dean from view.
The sword gleam, which had been aimed at Wang Zhen, now seemed to have hit an invisible barrier and set off rippling waves.
A glint of the sword beam shot towards Duanmu Huanghun. Waking up from his stupor, he immediately used his [Viridescent Flower]. A circle of branches materialized around him, and the sword gleam collided into the branches. With a tremble, Duanmu Huanghun successfully blocked the sword gleam, but there was not a trace of celebration on his face. His gaze was instead fixated on the V[iridescent Flower]'s branches that were slowly rotating around him.
The small pinhole on a single leaf was extremely blinding.
How could it be....
He almost could not believe his eyes. From the moment he entered the training hall, the impacts came in wave after wave. The Ai Hui in front of him felt like a stranger.
He had recently improved tremendously, with the encounter in the Garden of Life and the bitter battle outside of the city serving as stimulation. He was already talented, but with the threats of death, he was able to fully exploit and expand his talent and capability.
Three days ago, he managed to activate the fifth palace, known as the earth palace.
The implication was that he was entering the territory of greater skills. With each activation of the four palaces-earth, sea, gate, and sky-the strength would increase by leaps and bounds. Although everyone's constitution was different, in general, the earth palace could store 1.5 times more elemental energy than the hand palace. Additionally, the activation of his earth palace enabled him to practice moves from the [Viridescent Flower] that he had been unable to previously.
Thus, his strength increased tremendously, and he was pleased beyond expectations.
But that was before today. The waves of elemental energy that Ai Hui emitted sent chills to his heart. Duanmu Huanghun was certain that he would be unable to produce such frightening vibrations even with a base level of five palaces.
And that sword move....
Just one move from Ai Hui had forced the dean and the mayor into such a situation. This far surpassed any knowledge Duanmu Huanghun had of Ai Hui.
Duanmu Huanghun was clear about his capability. While he shot into fame after just one battle, he immediately became low-key and restrained afterwards. He knew that his brilliant results happened only because everyone was unfamiliar with him, unfamiliar with his [Viridescent Flower].
In the end, he had been a freshman with the base level of four palaces. Once everyone familiarized themselves, they would be able to think of ideas to counter him.
Base level was a weakness that he could not avoid. While it required talent, it also needed time and patience.
However, Ai Hui seemed to have skipped the latter requirement.
From the activation of his natal palaces to both of his hand palaces, and now... How many palaces had he activated to produce such strong elemental energy waves?
And that unnerving yet grand sword move. Was it an absolute art? Didn't they say that swordplay was in decline? How could such impressive swordplay be in decline?
His own rapid improvements were supported by several reasons. He was gifted with talent and imparted with an absolute art. His family was rich, and with external triggers, there was nothing strange about his tremendous improvement.
Yet he could not comprehend Ai Hui's improvement. There was no reasoning he could see behind it. His skills were nothing extraordinary, he was poor, and he was also older. How could he ever understand why that fellow's improvement was greater than his?
While the bubbles seemed powerless as they would burst upon contact, the volume was simply so much that it seemed limitless. All of the sword gleams were forcibly blocked by them. With the exception of Duanmu Huanghun, everyone was sheltered and protected behind him.
"This feels good!"
Wang Zhen burst into laughter for a long time, containing a whole ten years' worth of battle intent. His hair and beard fluttered around him, and his gaze was bright and animated. Holding onto the rusted knife, he was in high spirits.
"Central Pine Academy had a concealed talent! I cannot believe that there's such an expert here! Ai Hui, show me all that you've got. Let's have a hearty battle!"
Wang Zhen's thundering voice left a buzzing sound in everyone's ear.
He raised his blade and approached Ai Hui. Each stride was large, pressing into the hearts of those present. Even the floor trembled.
Duanmu Huanghun's pupils constricted while the expressions of the other teachers changed. Nobody could have expected the inconspicuous mayor to have such violent capabilities and strength.
"Ai Hui, could it be that you have lost your guts?"
Wang Zhen roared loudly and took a leaping step.
In midair, Wang Zhen's vigor was at its peak, and he felt an indescribable contentedness. He was all fired up.
No one would be able to block this move!
Ai Hui, who was below him, fell face down like a blockhead, unconscious.
At his side was Lou Lan, thoroughly relaxed. He had exhausted all of his sand core's elemental energy. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier as he mumbled deliriously, "Lou Lan is tired...."
Wang Zhen landed back on the floor with a stiff expression.
The dean, who had just finished dispersing the bubbles, was dumbfounded.
Ai Hui, unconscious. Fatty, unconscious. Lou Lan, unconscious.

I had no idea Time Out for Women was this month! It seems like everything is moving so fast! Sawyer's birthday is almost here, September is almost over, the FFA kids have already gone to the fair! Things are moving very fast! And Savannah went to Time Out for Girls?? I haven't ever even heard of that! :) I am so proud of her! Tell her I love her! Also, Tell Sis Hammond and my other Momma that I say hi and that I love them! :)
Brother Clow is taking us to Frankie's fun park again! :D I promise I will take it easy though. It has been raining hard since last night, and it just stopped a couple hours ago, so it is nice and cool outside too! :)
I am so happy that I was born into this faith, and that I have parents like you and Dad. It is amazing how much I have grown to love the gospel out here. And now I can see how much I have been taking it for granted. Thank you for providing this for me Momma. I love you :)
Yes, I got my Salsa package a while ago actually. I think it was last Saturday. :) And everyone in my apartment was very happy about that one. :)
I am always so jealous that y'all get to go to the temple weekly! I really really wish that I could go! We bike past the temple frequently, and it is so pretty! I can't wait for my first chance to go inside of this one! :) And, after my mission, Y'all need to come down here and go through with me! :)
The Benson's just had their farewell!? I thought they had left a while ago! That's insane! I bet they will love serving. :) The senior missionaries always seem so much happier than anyone else. :)
I can't tell you how much I am enjoying myself out here Momma! Everything is just so great! This week we have another fireside, and we are all pretty excited for that, we should have a couple of our investigators there! :) This past week, I went on exchanged with Elder Gundersen's new Companion, Elder Maurer, and it was another one of the best days I have had yet. We biked all over my area, and we talked to like 20 people on the street in one day! :) We taught a bunch of people too! And he said that, if he didn't know that I was a newer missionary before hand, he wouldn't have been able to tell. :) I really loved going on exchanges with him.
We have been spending some of our time helping M****** tear her apartment down in preparation to move, so that has been fun too. Her father is picking us up Saturday morning to have us help load things in the truck, and we are both excited to finally meet him. :) On Saturday, we went over to the Clow's and did service for them (Sister Clow took pictures and had me give her your info so she could send them. ;) ) It was good service, but it was hard because we were cleaning a pool...and I couldn't get in… :) Haha but we joked around and had a lot of fun!
My ankle is doing well, and I am still working it out every morning, I am also starting to have dreams about teaching the missionary lessons each night, so I think I am now a true missionary.
I love you family!
The church is true!
Thomas S. Monson is a prophet!
I love the Gospel! :)
This morning I had a bit of an accident :/ But I am alright haha.
We were all rough housing, and for some reason, Elder Sumner was holding a 10 lb. weight.
I happened to whip around just at the right moment to smack my head into said weight... :)
Elder Sumner got to hold a turtle! :)
This is Elder Maurer :)
Cleaning the Clow's pool. Trying not to "Fall" in. ;)
We also found a huge Zipper spider, and fed it a cockroach! :)

There is a verse in Isaiah that has always captured my imagination. It goes like this:
"And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay and you are the Potter. We are all formed by your hand."1
I have this wonderful image of God sitting on a wooden stool with the potter's wheel positioned between His knees. In His hands He holds a lump of clay specially chosen by Him from which He is going to form me.
As He puts the clay onto the plate He makes sure that it is centred and then He begins to spin the wheel using His feet while both of His hands start to mould and shape the clay.
As He works He prays unceasingly. He speaks words of love, encouragement, joy and kindness into my life. He starts to visualise the life He wants me to live. So much thought has gone into the making of me. As I begin to take shape in His hands He realises that actually there is something even more special He wants for me so He kneads me back into a lump and starts again.
Once the item of pottery has been formed it is then put aside in a safe place to dry.
Once it is dry it can be painted and decorated and then it is put into an oven to bake.
A close eye has to be kept on the item while it is baking to ensure that the heat doesn't damage it.
We have all been created individually by God. Some of us are plates, some cups, some bowls, some jugs – it doesn't matter what we are – we all have two things in common.
The fact that we were created by Him and the fact that we can all hold or contain something that can be poured out.
God decided He wanted me to be a jug. He visualised me as a beautiful jug filled to the brim and overflowing with love and the ability to do so much good in the world. In His mind there is not a blemish or a scratch on me and He has painted me inside and out with beautiful bright coloured flowers – crimson, yellow, blue, orange and green. I am so amazingly beautiful in His eyes because I am His creation.
In fact in Ephesians 2:10 it says exactly that "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do".
For many years I felt that in making me God had got stuck on the kneading and moulding stage or had forgotten me in the oven. I also felt that during the process of making me He became distracted and that was why I was far from perfect.
I never seemed to be able to grow into my full potential, there was always a nagging feeling inside of me that something was missing and a lot of the time I did not feel that my life had much worth or value. There were so many times when I felt such deep hurt and pain and loneliness in my life that I was sure He had forgotten me in the oven and that I was damaged beyond repair.
I longed to make a difference in the world. To be able to touch other people's lives and bring comfort and healing to them but always felt that I was not worthy.
Then one day I realised that I would never be able to do any of these things if I was constantly in the process of being made. How could I offer anything of value to anyone else if I did not feel I was worthy and complete myself.
There is a verse that says "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works so that no one can boast".2
This is the most wonderful verse in that it takes a lot of pressure off us to perform and if we truly believed what God tells us "I am the Lord who sanctifies you"3 we wouldn't have the need to 'work' so hard at being Christians!

Investing $10 million in R&D in India to Accelerate Cloud Development. Appoints Google Veteran as Head of Engineering in India
ThoughtSpot, the leader in search-driven analytics in the enterprise, today announced the expansion of its engineering operations with the opening of its India Engineering Center in Bangalore. The newly established research and development hub is ThoughtSpot's first in the Asia Pacific region and third globally, complementing offices in Seattle, Washington and its Silicon Valley headquarters. To fuel the expansion, ThoughtSpot also announced plans to invest $10 million in R&D in the India Engineering Center to accelerate the development of search-driven analytics in the cloud and support ThoughtSpot's commitment to providing world-class data and analytics service to today's leading global enterprises.
ThoughtSpot's next-generation analytics platform is built on a modern scale-out architecture that is designed from the ground up to leverage large-scale in-memory computing. This enables ThoughtSpot's Relational Search engine to analyze billions of rows of data across multiple data sources, while delivering sub-second performance and enterprise-wide security. While ThoughtSpot has always provided customers the freedom to choose on-premise or cloud deployments, customers have been constrained by the limitations of in-memory cloud architectures until recently. ThoughtSpot's India Engineering Center is chartered to take advantage of new advancements in compute power and in-memory cloud architectures to help large enterprise customers extend or migrate their on-premise deployments to the public cloud.
"With the advent of large-scale in-memory computing in the cloud, enterprises are now embracing the flexibility of extending analytic workloads to a hybrid cloud environment," said Amit Prakash, chief technology officer and co-founder of ThoughtSpot. "Our new engineering hub in Bangalore will be front and center in developing the innovative capabilities required to support our customers as they embark on their analytics journey to the cloud."
Leading the India Engineering Center as Head of Engineering is Puneet Agarwal. Agarwal brings over a decade of experience architecting and building large Web-scale, high-performance systems at Google for its Search and Ads businesses. Agarwal holds an MS in Computer Science from Stanford University and will be responsible for building out the engineering team and accelerating product development in India.
"We're incredibly excited to have Puneet join us as Head of Engineering in India," added Prakash. "Puneet brings both a technical experience in building large-scale search platforms at Google and a proven track record of recruiting and leading engineering teams in tackling the industry's toughest technical challenges."
"ThoughtSpot's mission, to make data accessible at human scale, necessitates taking on some of the most unique and complex challenges in software," said Puneet Agarwal, Head of Engineering in India for ThoughtSpot. "Bangalore is a hotbed for top engineering talent and we invite engineers to come join the ThoughtSpot team in shaping and building the most innovative and differentiated search-driven analytics solution in the market."
Recently ranked #1 in Forbes list of The Best Data Companies and CEOs to Work For, ThoughtSpot is actively hiring in Bangalore, India. Interested candidates can apply to open positions directly from ThoughtSpot's career page.
ThoughtSpot is coming off a banner year in 2016. Key business milestones achieved include:
- 270% growth in customer base, with 28% of customers coming from Fortune 500.
- Increased customer adoption with over 3 million total ad hoc searches on the platform, saving an estimated 5 million hours of data analyst time and $250 million in labor costs.
- Expansion in partner program with notable new partnerships with HPE, Epson, and Peak Indicators.
- 40% of customers increasing their initial investment by 220%.
- Debut in the Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant for BI & Analytics Platforms.
- Selection as a Red Herring Top 100 North America Winner.

The trouble with IT companies is that they haven't a fucking clue about how to communicate with people. It's a weird thing, because the IT marketing people all appear to be human beings, yet they have no idea how to talk to other members of their species.
Now here's a thought - maybe they're NOT human beings? Perhaps skynet-style AI supercomputers do exist and they're attempting to infiltrate our society through marketing 'replicants'. I often wonder, as I sit in meetings with them and listen to new acronyms, what would happen if I took an iron bar to their heads. Would white milky stuff and plastic parts be dashed onto the boardroom table?
If I were paranoid I'd suspect a conspiracy. Maybe all the advancing technology that's being sold to us is a honeytrap - perhaps iPods are actually brainwashing tools? Maybe the disintegration of our society isn't due to our iniquities, but all part of the IA plot? Perhaps the plan is to get us to wipe ourselves out?
Ahem, getting back to this brand campaign...
We came up with a nice idea that used real people (not the smiley, perfect, carefully multi-ethnic Americans sitting joyfully in front of their brainwashing machines - sorry, laptops) and real situations to get over the benefits of the product. The tone of the scripts was cheeky and irreverent - teenagers trying to get one over on the adults etc.
The client liked it, after a pause as the IA fed back the appropriate response (possibly via Bluetooth). However there was a problem - she had to show the work to the 'brand compliance and ethics unit'. Now I don't know whether this is another IA entity or a committee of some description, but it's job is to make sure the brand isn't associated with nasty human failings like dishonesty or selfishness - even in the form of fictional characters.
Now this leads me to the crux of this particular rant - how can you connect your brand with human beings if the people in your ads can't display the flaws that make us human? It's this kind of stupidity that will - thank god - ultimately mean the failure of the IA ultramind plot...

Physical Environment. Creating a more collaborative negotiation means creating a more comfortable environment. The physical environment is no exception. People are the most creative when they were comfortable enough to focus on the task at hand. In San Diego, the teams did their best to keep the hours reasonable, the chairs soft, and the food readily available. All found this to be very effective in moving the negotiations forward.C. Between Parties At The Table And Key Stakeholders: Building Credibility And Cooperation
Tackling Issues. The group had more than 30 issues to discuss, ranging from wages and mentor teachers to transfer and sick leave policies. A calendar was created; topics were scheduled for certain days; prep work was provided in advance; and topic experts were scheduled. The group tackled simpler, less emotionally loaded issues first, to establish a pattern of collaborative negotiation and develop relationships under less stressful circumstances. The key to keeping the group focused and productive was to introduce a new issue every day, whether the last issue was finished or not. As a result, bargainers did not get bogged down on one issue. Unfinished issues were assigned to a subcommittee made of union and management team members, and time for the subcommittees to meet was built into the process.
Defining Commitments. Making-commitments-as-you-go on issues in a complex negotiation usually becomes a process trap. Often, if a group commits to issues one at a time, by the time the group reaches the last few issues, their prior commitments may have boxed one team into a corner. But the usual remedy -- re-opening issues settled earlier -- often feels to the other side like foul play. Another trap associated with the commit-as-you-go method is backlash from either team's board - forcing a team to come back to the table and renege on their commitment. This undermines their credibility and authority. For these reasons, it is essential to make no firm commitments on any issue until the agreement is workable in whole. In addition, we encourage teams to refrain from using the words "tentative agreement," which implies different levels of commitment depending on who you ask. In San Diego, the bargaining team defined and used another term, "Yes-able Proposition:ö if everyone on the bargaining team liked the option, the option would stand for the time being. Later, it could change if the union or management board did not approve it, or another issue affected it.
Separating the Relationships from the Problem. There has been a considerable amount written about the importance of separating the problem at hand from the individuals engaged in it. The hope is to avoid at least two pitfalls: blaming one another for the problem and taking the situation personally, or sacrificing what the parties really need for the sake of preserving the relationship.
It is our experience, however, that these pitfalls are hard to avoid, as our senses of the problem solving and relationship aspects of negotiation are often very entwined. The San Diego case offers a powerful example of the effectiveness of separating the relationships from the problem and applying energy to manage both, without letting one adversely impact the other.
The parties at the table had a series of discussions about salary compensation. One day, after perhaps the most difficult conversation, they were scheduled to appear together at a celebratory event. It was an event designed to illustrate the strengths of their new working relationship ¢ a talent show for which they planned a funny, raucous joint skit. Surprisingly, they went to the talent show. They actually enjoyed doing the skit. And they returned to the bargaining table that same night to work further on the hard and challenging problem and conversation.
In this instance, they honored the social commitment they had made, and did not allow the genuine bottom-line problem they faced about compensation to degenerate into recriminations and personal attacks. They also did not let the friendly nature of the event they attended dull their advocacy the next day for their needs.
Perhaps the clichķ that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger does not apply here. In tough situations it is how you handle it that makes you stronger or weaker. This situation made the negotiation teams stronger. They benefited from it because they honored their word and agreement. If they had handled it poorly, they may have been weakened by it.
The Danger: The success of an exceptional contract that has been agreed to by all at the negotiation table is undermined if the union or management's governing board vetoes it; if parents, taxpayers, or other groups protest it. Even when the key parties are working well with each other, stakeholders who are not at the table can still torpedo the work. Especially when the parties at the table are beginning to work with each other, certain stakeholders may become more suspicious and wary of the process.
Some helpful actions include:
Education. Prior to the contract negotiations, many parents, teachers, union representatives, principals, community and religious leaders were invited to collaborative skills training. ThoughtBridge conducted two seminars with approximately 400 people in each. These included past and potential critics of contract bargaining. In both sessions the superintendent, union president, and school board president spoke of the need to move beyond the strike and to work together. This broad exposure to the interest-based approach served the negotiations well as a larger segment of the community became familiar with the collaborative approach.
Third Party Communications. Minimizing damage caused by outside influences is essential to creating an environment of teamwork and joint problem solving. In San Diego, the bargaining team agreed to keep discussion of conflicts inside the room. The group also developed procedural guidelines for handling these conflicts constructively.

"The Face," by Daniel McNeill. Little, Brown and Company. 374 pages. $25. Daniel McNeill is a face man. Go ahead. Try and stump him. What part of our face has grown over the last 200 generations? (The chin.) What part of the face is the easiest for a police sketch artist to draw? (Hair.) What's the oldest part of the face? (The mouth.)
The next question is harder to answer: Who cares?
McNeill certainly does. To him, "the living face is the most important and mysterious surface we deal with. It is the center of our flesh." A science journalist, he says we have learned more about the face in the past 20 years than in the previous 20 millennia. And he seems intent on sharing every morsel of data. The result is either the world's most interesting collection of trivia, or a work of nonfiction that will cause your eyelids to droop.
Oh, yes, eyelids, page 27: One millimeter thick, thinnest skin on the body, translucent enough to register light. McNeill can go on all day about the eyelid. He can go on all day about anything. Why we blush. How we lie. The anatomy of a false smile. This is Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Parts of Your Body You Weren't Sure You Ever Wanted to Know Everything About.

Packing for a bucket-list trip to Nepal or Peru or Thailand may seem daunting, because hey, it's not every day you head thousands of miles from home. How many socks? Should I bring the trekking poles? What goes in my carry-on? And how do I keep my passport safe?
We sat down with two experts at REI Adventures, our adventure travel arm that offers 150-plus active guided trips around the world, and one REI employee travel-guru to bring you top tips from their combined 50-plus years of travel experience.
1. Keep important documents safe. What you need with you at all times is your passport, driver's license and travel insurance—seriously, if you're going on an adventure travel trip, buy emergency medical and evacuation coverage. Keep these on your person at all times. It's also a good idea to scan these documents and save them to your phone and email them to yourself and your contacts at home. For the rest of your important documents—like reservations and itineraries—save them as photos you can access in your phone and create an email folder you can easily access from any location. "If you're traveling internationally, also have a physical copy of your passport and pack it separately so you can go to the closest embassy and show it to get help faster," says Belinda Gardner, REI Adventures program manager.
2. Lighter is better with adventure travel. If you're touring by bike or exploring multiple destinations, you "may be moving every night, so you don't want to have a ton of stuff. Keep your luggage light and small," says Janel Jensen, REI Adventures travel program manager. Don't know where to start? Ditch items that don't serve two purposes—for example, Belinda packs a poncho instead of a rain jacket and pack cover.
3. Be smart about your carry-on. Belinda always carries a warm layer, spare toiletry kit, medications, clean socks and underwear in a day pack. She wears her hiking boots and straps her cycling shoes and helmet to the outside of her carry-on (which doubles as a great conversation starter), so she's ready for day one of her adventure, even if the airline loses her luggage.
4. Go with quick-dry clothing. "You want clothes that you can hand-wash and dry overnight on a towel rack," says Janel. Synthetic pants and shirts not only pack small but wick sweat and dry lightning quick after washing. Be extra prepared by bringing detergent along too. We love the Sea To Summit Trek and Travel (liquid) and Pocket (mini-sheets) laundry wash—which are both TSA carry-on compliant.
5. Fewer clothes are better. Janel brings three pairs of clothes—a mix of trekking pants and shorts and long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts, and usually one dress, too. "People get so worried about wearing the same clothes over and over again—but no one is paying attention," adds Belinda. Remember what you're there for, and think and pack like a backpacker.
6. Pack small. The experts were split on the age-old debate on rolling clothes versus folding them. Proponents of rolling say they take up less space and you can see all of your stuff at a glance. Those who fold say the flatter clothes are more easily packed and that wrinkles are inevitable. Whether rolling or folding, all recommended Eagle Creek packing cubes. They separate underwear from toiletries to keep you organized on long excursions. Remember to fill every single inch of space in your luggage. "I always have a hat and it's upside down in the center of the bag with clothes stuffed inside. It seems to keep its form well that way," says Ashlee Langholz, program manager for content at REI, and avid adventure traveler.
7. Use a duffel. "Duffels are better than hard-case luggage because they are soft," says Janel. It's true: whether playing luggage tetris in the trunk of a taxi or on the backs of pack animals, duffels have a leg up on hard-sided bags. The REI Co-op Big Haul 60 Duffel, with its easy backpack conversion, is a super versatile option. Simply put, duffels with straps make rushing through the terminal or running for the bus that much easier, not to mention they're durable and smashable, necessary for adventure travel. Plus, "I feel like I'm training when I walk through airports," says Ashlee.
8. Double-up on socks. They're the one thing that barely takes up any room. "I don't skimp on socks. I don't mess around with them," says Janel. Don't forget stashing away your 'sacred socks.' That's the pair you only wear when literally everything else is soaking wet or ruined.
9. BYOWB (Bring Your Own Water Bottles). While you can't carry water in water bottles through TSA, you can fill up your bottles on the other side. It's one way to be more eco-friendly during your travels, even as your carbon footprint expands with each plane ride. We are all about the Katadyn BeFree Collapsible Water Filter Bottle because it collapses into next to nothing and filters water as you drink.
10. Be prepared for rain. In fact, be prepared for any weather. Think like a backpacker and bring a rain jacket—and depending on the climate, rain pants and a pack cover too. After all, "when you're on an adventure travel tip, you're going to hike regardless of the weather," Janel says.
"As long as you have your passport, clean underwear and a sense of adventure, you're good to go." –Belinda
11. Always have your Ten Essentials. "I have the REI Co-op Expandable Packing Cube that I keep my Ten Essentials in. It goes with me everywhere, and I often travel with it if I'll be doing anything active on the trip," says Ashlee. "And remember to take out your multi-tool if you're not checking the bag!"
12. Bring your own over-the-counter medications. If you're on a guided expedition, your guides will have plenty of group first-aid options. But even so, having your own tried-and-true blister kit, hydrocortisone, antibiotic ointment and allergy pills is important. Janel reminds us that it can be really hard to find what works for you when traveling abroad. Be sure to bring extra prescriptions meds in your carry-on, too. There's no way you're getting your hands on certain things in far-flung places.
13. Take a bandana or Buff. Probably one of the most versatile items you can pack, use them for warmth, dust, sweat, runny noses, new hair styles or fashion statements. And if you're in the backcountry, pack two and you'll have a pee rag, too.
14. Don't forget your light source. Janel uses her phone's flashlight in dimly-lit shared spaces, so as not to bother her roommates. Places vary, she says, like "in Nepal where they regulate their light. Sometimes you're caught without electricity for hours on end, and you'll need a light source," or you'll be stuck in the dark. We recommend a small, rechargeable headlamp like the Black Diamond Iota.
15. Locks can be theft deterrent. But they're not theft proof. If you're going to put a lock on your duffel or luggage, get a TSA-compliant lock so airport staff can get into your checked luggage without destroying your zippers or bag. As always, don't pack anything valuable, keep it on your person instead.
16. Ask your airline for backpack protection. If you're only flying with your backpack, make sure to protect all the straps by cinching them tight and wrapping your hipbelt around the back of your pack, then packing the whole thing in a large plastic bag, which most airlines can provide or, in your own large duffel bag.
17. Check your trekking poles. It's an age-old question: carry-on or check? Although we've heard tales of carrying them on, most airlines require you to check them because they do have a pointed tip. "I love my Leki trekking poles that weigh nothing and fold up. Just be sure to make sure they fit in your suitcase," says Belinda. To protect your duffel, use the trekking poles' tip protectors, and to protect them from bending or breaking, pack them close to something substantial, like your day pack.
18. Keep your lesser-used items at the bottom of your duffel. Stack the bottom of your duffel with heavy items you aren't planning on accessing right away—think extra shoes, rain pants, crampons, daypack. And what are you using right away? Pack toiletries right on the top, so you're not digging through your pack if you get to your destination late at night.
19. Double-check TSA regulations before you pack. This is your full resource.
- Batteries (restrictions may apply)
- Bicycle chains
- Bicycle pumps
- Camp stoves
- Canoe/kayak paddles (checked)
- CO2 cartridges (restrictions may apply)
- Crampons (checked)
- Helmets
- Hiking/ski poles (checked)
- Ice axe/picks (checked)
- Life jacket
- Lighter (one, carry-on)
- Matches (one pack, carry-on)
- Multi-tool without blades
- Multi-tool with blades (checked)
- Nail clippers
- Safety pins
- Sewing needles
- Skis/snowboards/snowshoes
- Tents (check with airline)
- Tweezers
- Bear spray
- Camp fuel
- Insecticides
- Liquid bleach
- Strike-anywhere matches
- Torch lighters
20. What gear should you bring and what should you rent? Belinda has this down to a science. If she's spending a day or two doing a sport, she'll rent everything she needs when she gets to her destination. If she's there for a longer tour, she'll bring the most important gear she needs for each activity.
- Cycling: Pack your helmet, shoes, gloves and saddle. Leave your bike at home—you can rent really nice bikes and try out a new brand in a different country. Plus, you'll save yourself the cost and hassle of taking your bike apart, flying it there and putting it back together.
- Backpacking: Pack your boots, sleeping bag and backpack. You can rent pads, tents and trekking poles from most guiding companies.
- Mountaineering: Pack your boots and harness. Your guide can provide the rest.
- Water sports: Pack your favorite mask and snorkel—because if you're in Baja swimming with sea lion pups, you'll really want a good fit. Rent the wetsuit, paddles, PFDs and boats at your destination.
- Yoga: Pack your mat and towel. It might take up some space in your bag, but being comfortable is worth it. Plus, if you're planning on enjoying your practice on the beach, a local park or even in your hotel room, it's much harder to rent a mat abroad.

Life on the edge in San Diego
Rescue mission, bounty hunters, boat live-aboards, runaways, process servers, knights in Balboa Park
Various Authors 8:30 a.m., Dec. 15
At the Mira Mesa Recreation Center, playing for my fifth-grade youth basketball team, I watched as my coach threw a chair onto the court in anger. On another occasion, the referee threw my coach out of the gym during an argument. The following year, with a different coach, my grandmother was in town from Los Angeles, watching me play for the first time. I stole the ball, dribbled up-court, and missed a layup. My coach was furious. He put his hands around his neck and yelled, "Choker! You're a choker! You missed an easy layup!" He threw his hands up in disgust. I lowered my head. I didn't even want to look over to where my family was sitting. A teammate put his arm around me. "Did Coach even see the last three baskets you scored?" I glanced at the scoreboard and wondered if the coach realized we were up by 16 points.
I look back on the memory and wonder: Why are coaches — adults — so hard on children? At the youth level, between ages 4 and 16, children should be taught the fundamentals of the game, sportsmanship, and fun.
When you get into high school sports, that's when you get cut from the team if you aren't good. Or benched if you miss easy layups. You may have to run laps at practice if you forget a play.
On the news this year, we saw video of a youth wrestling match. An angry father jumped out of the stands and tackled a 14-year-old getting the better of his son. He claimed the child was doing an illegal move but failed to address why he didn't let the ref handle it (that father is being charged with injuring a minor).
Competitive parents can be tough. I coached youth basketball for a few years. In Poway, Padres Tony Gwynn and Garry Templeton were always mellow while their sons played. But in La Costa, I coached a tall, skinny kid on the fifth- and sixth-grade team who wasn't aggressive at rebounding or scoring. And he was really quiet. His dad, however, was a screamer. Not only did he yell at referees, he'd yell instructions to his son. One play was designed for his son to set a pick underneath, then run and post up at the free-throw line. The ball would come to him, and he'd pass to either of the two guards that were cutting to the basket. Well, Dad yelled for his son to shoot the ball. His son heard and forced a shot that was an air ball. When the play was called again later, there were more disastrous results. The shot was blocked by a defender. I called a time-out and instructed my player to listen to me, not his dad. When halftime came, I walked into the stands and approached a 6'3" balding guy. As a 22-year-old, and in front of the other parents, I didn't feel comfortable doing it. "Sir," I said, "I need you to stop yelling things from the stands. It's distracting to the kids. I have plays designed for them. If you want to coach your son, that's great. But do that on your own time." To my surprise, he apologized. And for the rest of the season, I never heard a peep from him.
We did have a mother a few weeks later that came out to half-court in high heels to scream at the 16-year-old volunteer referee. She insisted her son hadn't traveled with the ball. Her five-minute shouting match didn't change the call. It only embarrassed her 10-year-old son.
I went to the ice rink in UTC and talked to Tijana Martinovic, the hockey and figure-skating director. I asked her about parents who are a little extreme. She said, "Oh yeah, we see a lot of that. We had an incident one time that got really bad. Child Protective Services got involved. It was a Ukrainian woman. She yelled at her kids and forced them to skate when they didn't want to. They would always come off the ice crying. Other parents would complain about her. After a woman from Child Protective Services filed a report, we didn't see her again. With parents, whether it's ice-skating practices or hockey, we have a rule that while a coach is on the ice with the kids, the parents have to be quiet."
Aside from the shouting and yelling, what about moms who start their little girls' training sessions so early in the morning? What about the tendency to begin training at such a young age, hoping to get the next Nancy Kerrigan?
"When kids first start ice skating, the sessions are not that early. But that's the only time the ice is available for practice. College hockey teams practice at night, and during the day, people are using the ice. If the kids enjoy it, they get used to waking up early to practice before going to school."
Matt Smith works with Tijana. He's got bushy red hair and a thick Swedish accent. He's worked at the UTC rink for a year and a half. He adds, "I've never seen anything like I have here in Southern California. The parents are so competitive. All they want to do is win. They want their kids to get to the NHL or win a gold medal in the Olympics. These are five-, six-, seven-year-olds. Parents are yelling at me in my office, complaining that their kids are not getting enough ice time. And we give them all the same amount of time. One game, one kid might get 30 seconds more. I don't sit there with a stopwatch. But it evens out in the next game. I'm trying to teach the sport and have fun. But they [the parents] get furious. I had a team of nine-year-olds. They were the youngest team in the league. They lost 30 games. When they finally won a game, the parents of the other team were so upset. They cornered this young referee. It was only his second game officiating. I felt so bad for him."
Well, someone sent a letter to the Reader about how there were more "soccer dads" than "soccer moms" that did crazy stuff.
Well, just this morning in the Union-Tribune, is a story along those lines. At an Otay Ranch High School soccer field Friday, a coach allegedly choked and punched two 17-year-old players from the opposing team.
The 39-year-old men's varsity coach is being charged with three counts of felony battery.
And, more than a dozen officers rushed to the fields, when a San Ysidro High School player fouled an Otay Ranch player and was flagged for a penalty.
The scene ended up escalating into spectators fighting on the field.

Last day in Rome. Tomorrow it's off to Athens, Greece.
Tonight's blog is all about food. Rightly so. We're in It'ly for cryin out loud! (Ever seen Only You with hunky hunk RDJ in it? The guy that plays Bonnie Hunt's husband - also the guy who plays the bad guy in a movie about the Luigi brothers - says, "It'ly? What's she doin in It'ly?!") Ok....
But before we get to the food...here's one of me at the Pantheon. Frickin amazing. Seriously.
We saw several Bernini's today in little, off-the-beaten-path churches like this one:
And we were promptly kicked out even though we were quiet and respectful. Ain't no hospital church, that's for dang sure.
And we saw Michelangelo's Moses. But I didn't catch that one with the iPhone. Sorry.
Ok, so here is a replay of some of the best food I've ever eaten.
Mom's ravioli from lunch was perfect. The "red" sauce is really light:
My "grilled cheese and ham" simply amazing....
Well the menu didn't lie. It was grilled cheese with ham. Sans bread. The Atkins form of a grilled cheese. Grazie Roma!!
Some AMAZING candy from a sweet little Italian guy:
Mint and chocolate gelatto...yes please:
And for dinner, the piece de resistance....
Authentic lasagna for Davis (again with the perfect "red" sauce):
And tornelli caccia e pepe for me! (Noodles with goat cheese and pepper....served in a pastry...)
With this work of Bernini's as the view:
Ciao Rome! Arrivederci! E Buona sera!

What is an Honor Girl? Each week we select one girl that stands out above all the rest during practices and the last game. Each girl is chosen for her own reason and this award is to show her that the coaches and fans notice her for her efforts. The Honor Girl gets her name called out at the beginning of the game and receives flowers, the spirit stick and a patch for her jacket. She also gets to be that weeks captain and has her name put into the Denton Record Chronicle on the following Thursday. Here is the list of all the special girls we have had for the 2004 Season.

So, it must have been sunday when I last wrote. I'd just done the alphane moon and those two were looking hopeful. Monday everything was soaking everywhere so we went back to am as it was dry. We all did arabald (7b) to warm up and those two made progress. I didn't climb on the alphane moon again (for obvious reasons).
Tuesday was the first of the mint days. Drove back to chironico and went to centrale to warm up, then I tried serre moi forte. Which is the hardest problem in the world. Ben P did cliques a claques. Walked out to freak brothers - wet, then on to no mystery/schule des lebens. Gangle did no mystery. Thought I could do it but didn't.
Wednesday, brione. Frogger was wet, ganymede start driable but wet really. Pamplemousse looked implausible. Some international dudes turned up and did ganymede and pamplemousse - one of them was michel caminati - he climbs 8c. I hurt, and was lying in the sun, but they made it look so easy I had to have a go. I knew I could do it and waited for them to go before doing so. James looked possible, ben's elbones hurt and he stopped. Brione is lovely. Stopped somewhere on the way back down and then went to the pizza shop to celebrate.
Thursday, yesterday - felt good. Went back to finish serre moi forte. All do papa razzi (7a), bp does cliques a claques again, none of the rest of us can do it. Serre moi forte holds out, although I do manage to get out of the sitter into the stand, but am unable to link it. Two sections. Very hard. Went round to the alphane moon - those two make progress, and james has a great link towards the end of the session and it looks on, but he fades. Go back to freak bros which is now dry, but flippin desperate. Suspect not warm and feeling it as would be my thing another time. I'd be keen to go back on it.
Today, last chance saloon. I'd like to do no mystery. Cresciano.
