A Gainesville man was arrested Thursday on allegations that he took a juvenile acquaintance to a motel room and tried to get the boy to engage in sexual activity.
A Gainesville man was arrested Thursday on allegations that he took a juvenile acquaintance to a motel room and tried to get the boy to engage in sexual activity.
Darrell Arnett Floyd, 53, of 6831 NW 39th Ave., was charged with false imprisonment of a child for prostitution and child cruelty, according to an Alachua County Sheriff's Office arrest report. He was also charged in a separate case with burglary of the cellphone company from which he had just been fired.
Floyd's former job was at Red Sky Wireless.
On Sept. 13 Floyd invited the boy to a motel room at the Knights Inn at 2830 NW 13th St. "to party," the report states.
Once in the room, Floyd pulled down the blinds, put a chair in front of the door, blocked the peephole with tissue, turned up the volume of the television and began masturbating, the report states.
The boy attempted to leave but was blocked by Floyd, deputies reported. Floyd offered the boy money to masturbate, but the boy refused. The boy asked Floyd for $20 to get food, and Floyd offered him $100 not to tell police, the report states.
Floyd gave the boy $20, and he went to a neighboring business to call someone to pick him up. They went back to the motel so the boy could get his backpack, and he was again blocked from leaving, the report states.
The boy yelled and was eventually allowed to leave.
Under questioning by investigators, Floyd said he and the boy went to the motel to smoke marijuana. He said the boy was lying and trying to extort money from him.
Meanwhile, Floyd was also charged with burglary and larceny on allegations he burglarized Red Sky Wireless on Wednesday and stole four smartphones valued at almost $2,000, an arrest report states. Floyd had been fired from his job on Wednesday and reportedly got into the building with a key that he did not return when he was fired.
The report states Floyd was seen leaving the business by an employee of an adjacent Chinese restaurant who was outside smoking a cigarette.

CHEYENNE – Lawnmower dreams do come true.
Granted, some people may not dream of lawnmowers. But for Bauner Borgman, a new lawnmower was a dream he held close to his heart.
Bauner, 21, recently graduated from Pine Bluffs Junior/Senior High. Despite challenges presented by cerebral palsy, students and staff members at the school saw Bauner as a bright light and shining star at the school.
Bauner's mom, Tabitha Borgman, said on graduation day, May 19, that leaving high school threw off Bauner's routine and left him unsure of himself.
But he always knew what he wanted for his future: a John Deere zero-turn riding lawnmower and a job selling tractors for the company.
John Deere and 4Rivers Equipment made at least one of those dreams a reality Friday.
Bauner arrived at 4Rivers Equipment at 1 p.m. expecting a meet and greet experience and an opportunity to look at all the John Deere equipment. He didn't know he'd be test driving his new lawnmower.
Bauner's dad, Dan Borgman, and Chris Miller, 4Rivers Equipment branch manager, helped Bauner move from his electric wheelchair into a John Deere Z540M Z-Track zero-turn riding lawnmower. Wearing the green John Deere ballcap Miller gave him, Bauner looked like he was made to ride that mower.
Bauner rode all around the lawn outside the store, learning to move forward and backward, to turn and to stop, smiling all the while.
When Miller handed Bauner the key to the mower, it seemed to take Bauner just a moment to realize Miller was giving him the lawnmower.
Miller told Bauner, "You did such a good job, I'm just going to give you this mower."
Then it sank in for Bauner that he wouldn't have to save up $5,000 for a new lawnmower, and he began to grin. Bauner could hardly contain his excitement. With a blinding smile, he responded, "Yeah! You betcha! I wanna help my dad mow!"
Bauner was so excited to have his new lawnmower, Miller arranged to have it delivered to his house immediately.
A 4Rivers employee followed Bauner's family home to deliver it.
Tabitha Borgman said Bauner previously had a smaller tractor mower, but he outgrew it, which disappointed him greatly. She said Bauner was afraid of lawnmowers when he was young.
"When Dan (Bauner's father) would mow, we'd have to turn music on and go in the bedroom and make noise, so he couldn't hear it," Tabitha explained.
Gaining this shiny, new lawnmower isn't just exciting because it means Bauner can help his dad mow just in time for Father's Day. Although, it's his second lawnmower, it's a celebration of Bauner overcoming his fears so well that he now enjoys what once caused him terror.
It became a celebration Friday for Bauner, his family, 4Rivers Equipment and John Deere. Hunter Barlow came down from the 4Rivers Equipment home office in Greeley to be part of the event.
Miller said the effort to give Bauner a mower began when he saw the article about Bauner's graduation, published May 20, in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. He sent the article to John Deere's advertisers, who sent it to the John Deere corporate office.
John Deere paid the cost of the lawnmower for Bauner. Miller ordered a seatbelt and a step to attach to the mower, so Bauner can get in more easily. 4Rivers Equipment paid for those extras.
But gaining this mower is just half of Bauner's John Deere dreams.
Tabitha said one of the first things Bauner did when they arrived at 4Rivers Equipment was ask them if they have any job openings. She said Miller told him they sure did.
After presenting Bauner with his new mower, Miller told him, "You gotta get on my website and apply for a job, OK?"
Bauner said, "You betcha!" Barlow told Bauner 4Rivers Equipment would be lucky to have him.
Miller said he'd never seen someone as excited about mowing as Bauner, but he added, "I like to believe that's everybody's dream."

I create and sell cards, prints, bookmarks and other creations all promoting the Word of God. Every one of these products have been hand drawn, painted using watercolour and professionally printed in Wales.

My prayer is that it would glorify the name of God and in some small way contribute in bringing more people to Him.
We have brand new products and designs in the making, so make sure to keep an eye out for those.

Nowadays, exotic car rentals are growing in popularity. This is most probably due to the expensive price of antique and luxury cars men and women have to resort to rentals because they can't afford to own a fabulous one. Most people don't want to invest in something so expensive that even maintenance fees are too huge priced. If you are looking for cars which are always dreamt of owning, you might benefit from car rentals instead of owning a new just one.
Have you ever experienced driving one day to see a luxury car drive past you? Don't you would like you could own one and feel the thrill of driving that kind of car? Dream no more, because it is about to become a reality. With car rentals, your dreams are about to come appropriate.
Or perhaps, you to be able to attend a special black tie occasion. Surely thwart your efforts . drive your old car to the event, would you? Whether you are attending a wedding day or you don't have access to your sports car since you are travelling, rental cars will help you with that.
There are so many cities that offer car rentals services. You have to check personally with the store if they have luxury cars, sports cars, or antique cars for rent. You will have to pay a higher amount of insurance though, and your driving records will be checked. Some rental companies may amount of reliability credit card rating, so be sure you have that ready.
If you would like to try the price of car rentals, these special cars usually cost as up to a night in a grand hotel. Most companies usually set their price at about one percent in the original price in the car per day. That price is quite reasonable, if you think about the associated with the car and how you are going to use it.
Each company has their own perks and promotions, so be sure to discover for them. Many of these perks include free delivery of vehicle to your home, a complete introductory guide or instruction before using your vehicle, and a GPS system. Look some extra software program as having a chauffeur if you are attending special activities. Of course, car wash is entirely up to you, but some companies clean the car before you are willing to take it to acquire a drive.
Although car rentals usually put an established limit on your driving speed, this is only for the safety of you and the car. Aside by way of the insurance, you end up being paying for other services, so it is advisable to ask the rental company for all the services and charges that you will want to pay before determining to rent a luxury car.
Whether you consider the car to thrill a girl, a legitimate income opporunity client, or if you simply want to discover the thrill of driving a car that was obtainable in your dreams, car rentals could be of service to your needs. You don't a billionaire every single child drive that car, an exotic hire car is all just a few ingredients!

Journeys by Design opened our eyes to a world of experiences we never knew existedRalph Lauren
Journeys by Design stands or falls on the quality of the service and style of safari it offers. In keeping with the spirit of our aim to create the most remarkable of individualised itineraries, so our ambition is to provide a level of service considered industry-wide as being extraordinary.
A complete travel solution, it's a service that takes as its starting point the importance of forming relationships based on mutual trust and respect. Once established, the planning of an actual itinerary employs the best in the business – be they pilots, guides or types of accommodation. The knowhow, the attention to detail and the style of delivery is, we believe, second to none.
It is for this reason that we only sell Africa. Africa's our passion and our area of expertise, and we make no attempt to sell a global product. It is our belief, therefore, that our clients come to us for an in-depth analysis of the continent, of the 18 countries in which we choose to specialise. Given this focus, this level of understanding, we are able to drill down to levels that the competition finds hard to follow, and so offer experiences both unique and extraordinary.
Journey by design At a Glance
- Journeys by Design provide a 'Complete Travel Solution'
- We have unique and special connections (our little black book)
- We strive to be at the forefront of frontier travel
- We offer private consultations anywhere in the world
- We offer VIP airport handling and we use only the very finest private guides, pilots and hosts
- We pride ourselves on our strong ethical stance on charity and philanthropy.
For more on services and style of safari, please see below.
'70% of all business is repeat or referred which, we hope, underscores the quality of service we provide'
– Will Jones, Founder and CEO
complete travel solution
Advanced Safari Preparation
As well as private consultations, home visits, and the drawing up of the safari itinerary, we design – and alert interested individuals, companies and border controls – a door-to-bush schedule. This includes wing-to-wing transfers, and ensures that clients arrive at their initial destinations with the minimum of fuss.
All of Journeys by Design's itineraries are tailor-made. We do not sell set-departure, group tours. With this in mind, our itinerary designs are about creating extraordinary, one-off experiences. Past examples of these types of remarkable experience include:
- Private invitation to the burial of Haile Selassie, the last Emperor of Ethiopia.
- Private meeting with the President of Ethiopia, Meles Zinawi, for the Young Presidents Organisation.
- Invitation to stay with Dr Richard Leakey at his Turkana Basin Institute.
- A one-of-a-kind world cup itinerary, threading the matches into a journey taking in the very best of wild South Africa.
Some of these experiences are remarkable for their historical provenance, others for the rarity of access granted. All bear testament to our willingness to think out of the box.
Support Network
Throughout the journey, and depending on the itinerary, clients have at their exclusive disposal an unprecedented level of support. This includes ground vehicles, light aircraft, VIP airport assistance, helicopters, pilots, guides and expert hosts. The team – assembled for the express purpose of a given itinerary – is highly flexible, highly skilled, and extremely well-connected.
In addition to using the very best of that which is available to the luxury travel industry, Journeys by Design represents a handful of private houses and ranches whose owners open their doors to a select group of discerning travellers. Whether based at exclusive stays, or at other more readily available super luxurious lodges, beach houses and boutiques hotels, the accommodation is outstanding in every respect.
Every safari will take place in areas guaranteed to provide clients with an experience that is authentic, personal and private. Most of these destinations' lodges, camps and ranches operate the lowest ratios of travellers to square kilometres of land found anywhere in Africa. They are all world leaders in the kind of sustainable tourism we support.
Open Black Book
Ultimately, it is our little black book of contacts that separates us out from the rest of the crowd – Richard Leakey, for example. Such contacts mean we are able to invite the client into a world of first class academics, professionals and policy makers – a small, significant group of men and women whose reputations precede them, and upon whom the future of wild Africa rests.
Long Range Support
In addition to an on-the-ground support team, clients will have access to an assortment of leading medical, administrative and legal organisations. This will include 24 hour contact with our offices in the UK and the US.
After Care
The return journey is planned and executed with as much care as the rest of the trip, and every effort is made to ensure that clients arrive home fresh, invigorated and inspired.
Philanthropic Opportunities
The thinking behind our clients experiencing the very best of wild Africa, and in arranging contact with leading conservationists and policy makers, stems from the belief that we are all – the safari industry, its clients and the host communities – important stakeholders in the maintaining of Africa's wildernesses. Travellers may discover that they are in a position to contribute – intellectually, professionally or materially. If this is indeed the case, then Journeys by Design's sister charity Wild Philanthropy is in the position to help. If you would like to know more, please visit the Wild Philanthropy website or contact Will Jones or Paul Herbertson.
Style of African Safari
While Journeys by Design offers a style of travel that is distinctive, adventurous and aimed firmly at meeting and indeed exceeding individual expectations, the experiences on our portfolio can be divided into two main areas of travel: luxury and frontier.
Luxury Travel
Luxury as a commodity is a much over-used word in the business of travel, and means many things to many people.
For us, for Journeys by Design, it means two things. It is, of course, the offer of an extraordinary level of accommodation, service and travel, a quality apparent in all aspects of a given experience, in the design of and materials used for the building of a lodge, in the breadth and depth of its cellar, the style of menu, the simple authenticity of the activities on offer, the care taken in attending to guests' needs. However, it is also the story of that experience, a narrative that is all about creating the kinds of journeys that may change lives – distinctive, meaningful, out of the ordinary.
Such experiences, by virtue of their rarity, the level of style and comfort on offer, are intensely luxurious and suit, therefore, the most discerning of clients, ones in search of the very best money can buy. In this respect, the Okavango Delta of Botswana, the highlands of Kenya and the parks of South Africa are the perfect adventure luxury destinations.
Frontier Travel
With Will Jones having spent so much of his time in many of Africa's more inaccessible wildernesses, Journeys by Design has always striven to be at the forefront of frontier travel. Such travel is always original. It is untried, exciting. It caters to a spirit of adventure that is as much about experiencing a new travelling self as it is areas rarely travelled.
To this end, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Namibia, Sudan, northern Kenya, Mozambique and the Republic of Congo represent our search for original adventure. We have excellent partners on the ground, the very best by way of pioneering expertise, and it is these contacts, these close working relationships, these often lifelong friendships, that have enabled us to seek out the more unusual corners of these countries, areas that others cannot reach. Small surprise, then, that travellers return with the kinds of stories children live for.
Please contact us to discuss your specific safari requirements.

Deleting Archive Log files in a Data Guard environmentPublished on: Author: Bastiaan Bak Category: Oracle
We recently configured an Oracle 12.2 database environment with a primary database, and a physical standby database managed by Oracle Data Guard.
The backup on the primary database removed all archive log files after a successful backup. For a normal standalone database this is a common configuration, but in a Data Guard environment this is not sufficient.
What will happen if your standby database is unavailable? Before you delete any files on the primary database, you should be sure you no longer need them for the recovery of the standby database.
Initial configuration
When you use the Data Guard Broker for the configuration of your standby database, it will create a remote archive destination on the primary, connecting to a service on the standby database:
We scheduled backups on both the primary and the standby database. Part of the RMAN backup script was the cleanup of all archive log files after a day, if there was a successful backup:
When to remove archive log files?
Our backup script was not really bulletproof. Although we kept our archive log files for at least a day, this is not really what we wanted. The files should only be removed after we are sure all transaction had been successfully applied to the standby database.
When querying the v$archived_log view for log_archive_dest_2 we can check what files are applied on the standby:
Why not let Oracle handle it?
Rather than changing the backup script it might be easier to let the database handle it. All files in the FRA could be managed by the database.
The documentation describes how we can configure automatic cleanup policy of the archive log files after they are applied on the standby database. We changed this setting in the RMAN backup configuration, and also removed the delete statement from the backup script.
After changing the RMAN configuration...
...and doing some log switches...
...we made another archive backup:
I first expected that the archive log files would have been removed at the moment of the backup, but this was not the case. The files were still in the FRA.
Maybe the files were not applied to the standby database? I checked the v$archived_log view again, but all the files - except the current - had been applied to the standby.
This was not really doing what I expected, so back to the documentation: "For primary databases, the archived redo log files are eligible for deletion after they are applied on the standby." So, the files are not deleted immediately, but they are eligible for deletion.
You can check this in the V$RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE view. We can see that some space for "Archived Log" is reclaimable, so eligible for deletion:
After more load on the database the FRA fills up to 85%, and this triggers a warning in the alert log:
This warning gives some suggestions on how to fix this issue. The first one is a bit strange. If we use Data Guard, we should consider changing the RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY. I think this is what we just did...
A little later the backup triggers another log switch, and we see more messages in the alert log. The database removes the oldest archive log files:
So, the automatic cleanup works, but only after space pressure in the FRA removes the files marked as eligible for deletion, as explained in the documentation. And the definition of space pressure seems to be an 85% usage of the FRA, which might trigger an ORA-19815 warning.
Back to manual cleanup?
Although the solution above does what it should do, I'm not really happy with this. The files are not really removed after being applied on the standby as the configuration suggests, and more serious; the ORA-19815 warning could trigger a daily monitoring alarm on a perfectly working database.
A good solution seems to be the configuration of the delete policy in RMAN, in combination with a daily "delete noprompt archivelog all" in the backup script.
For testing we first configure the policy:
Then, in the data guard manager, we stop the apply on the standby database:
After that, we make some log switches:
We can check that the new archives are not applied on the standby database:
Next, we make a backup in RMAN:
And, as part of the backup procedure, we try to delete the archivelog files:
The files are still protected against a delete. As we can see the statement triggers a RMAN-08120 warning, because the transactions are not yet applied on the standby.
When restoring the redo apply on the standby, the delete from RMAN is also working again.
Other Setups
In this example we used a Maximum Performance protection mode in Data Guard. Our goal was to apply all transactions on the standby as soon as possible, but with a minimal impact on the primary database.
Data Guard can also be used in various other configurations. You can configure an "apply delay", which can protect you for user errors on the standby database. Another configuration is the Snapshot Standby database, where you temporarily stop the redo apply on the standby, and open the database for testing purposes.
In both these cases your policy could check if the transactions are shipped to, but not applied on the standby database:
The "CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;" setting in RMAN is a good protection for the archive log files in a Data Guard environment where the standby is used for disaster recovery. It protects the files from being deleted before all the transactions are applied on the standby.
This setting also configures an automatic cleanup of the archive log files from the FRA. But files might only be removed after a confusing ORA-19815 warning.
A better solution is not to wait for the automatic cleanup, but to delete the files as part of the backup procedure.
If, for some reason, the transactions are not applied on the standby, the delete command triggers a RMAN-08120 warning, and the archived log files are not deleted. And if the FRA is filling up with a ORA-19815 warning, the automatic cleanup will still remove all files that are eligible for deletion.

Scene shifts to the living room at the Stone house as Zeke is walking down the stairs from Cal's room.

Ben turns the television off.
MICHAELA: "Amazing abilities"? He's gonna reveal the callings. Why would he do that? –
BEN: Fame, fortune. Once he breaks the news on national television, he's bound to make millions. The Internet's already blowing up about his return being the next 828. If he tells the world about his callings, people will assume we have them, too.

One of the many awesome things about my time spent in China were the relationships that were formed with the other Americans. We were fortunate to have newlyweds on our team. Spending an entire year very closely to newlyweds was anything but boring!
Jessica and Justin (click there to see Justin's Chinese birthday) live, work, and go to school in North Carolina so the likely hood of them being able to come out for the wedding was slim.
But today, I received a letter. With 2 tiny little cardboard Royal cut outs with 2 beautiful faces glued on.
They have requested to make an appearance at our Royal wedding.
And don't worry. She apologized for wearing white to the wedding :)

The company also will have to pay for fixing a freeway median barrier and regrading the freeway. It also may face fines from the state Department of Fish and Game and the California Highway Patrol.
CHP investigators suspect that driver Mark Hurtado fell asleep at the wheel shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday while he was hauling 8,500 gallons of gasoline from Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo. He had earlier stopped to rest at the side of the road about 4 miles from the crash site. A CHP officer asked him to move, and shortly afterward he flipped over on the freeway median.
Hurtardo was trapped in the cab until a passing driver stopped, broke the window and helped him out. The crash closed the northbound lanes of the Ventura Freeway for 15 hours.

Subject: Blood Pennies: Reincarnation (6) [Part 2]
Wed Jun 02, 2010 9:00 am
There are many wells in the world, some that have a mysterious background, others that are mysterious themselves. There are people that revere them because they are like portals to another realm, shrouded in darkness, and in some instances, even death. The land of Japan is one of those mysterious places that is engrossed with the world beyond the grave, with many wells littering the island from one end to the other.
However, there is only one well in all of Japan that emerges from the depths of legends onto the surface of the truth. A well that is thirsty for blood . . . and pennies.
er brush with death had scarred her. Even though Shizune Hakura had managed to escape the enraged Shinigami last night, she couldn't get to sleep afterwards. She was terrified of him. It had all happened so quickly--and without warning! The death spirit had chased her all the way back here to this shrine, and battled what she believed to be an angel that had protected her from it.
But why?
Why had the Shinigami attacked her without provocation? And why had an angel protected her? And why tell her to go to her grandfather's shrine to look for a treasure? On top of that, the angel expected her to go back to the Shinigami well in the grove?! She didn't care if he was a divine presence, he was nuts if he wanted her to really go back to that place!
Shizune angrily threw her hairbrush coated with her black hair across the room and flopped down on her bed, her violet eyes glaring up at the ceiling. This whole situation was stupid! Here she was, stuck in her own room, afraid to go outside because of that Shinigami. And if her grandpa found out about her late night stroll, a lecture was imminent. It's not like she could just ask him how to protect herself from one point blank.
"Shizune!" she heard her mother call from downstairs. "Shizune, get down here."
The girl bolted up from her bed, disgruntled, and stomped downstairs, expecting another slew of orders. After all, the whole reason her family had moved here just outside of Tokyo was to help her grandfather with the Hakura family shrine. And because Hojo Hakura refused to hire outside help, Shizune was stuck doing chores. It wasn't fair! First, she had to uproot her life for her father, now she had to take care of a grandfather she hadn't seen in five years! She barely remembered the man!
Sure enough, once Shizune was downstairs, her mother promptly "suggested" she go to the shrine and help her grandfather clean up.
"Fine, I'll go!"
"Shizune, your grandfather is old," her mother stated flatly. "He can't do everything by himself anymore."
"Why not hire somebody? He has the money!"
"Because it's more important to him if the family runs the shrine. You know that."
"Important enough to interfere in my life?!" Shizune demanded angrily, standing by the front door. "It was so important that he had to take me away from my friends and--and--the things I knew?!"
She slammed it shut before her mother could say anything and stormed towards the huge Hakura shrine, flanked by small statues of armor clad samurai, a total of six altogether, three on one side, and three on the other.
She found her grandfather inside, sweeping debris from the nearby trees out into the open.
"Hm? Ah! Shizune!" Hojo Hakura smiled, his white mustache and beard curving upward. "There you are! Would you be a sweetheart and help your old man out with the artifacts in the storage?"
"It's not like I have a choice," Shizune muttered under her breath.
"What's that?"
"I said yeah," Shizune replied impatiently.
"Great!" The elderly man picked up his cane to replace the broom and started to hobble ahead. "Come with me, Shizune. We store the Hakura possessions in the back."
Shizune started to tag along, noticing the shrine dedicated to whatever spirit it was her grandfather guarded. The shrine itself was built like a small Japanese home on a stand. Flanking it on either side was a statue of a fox that she believed to be the spirit of Inari, who preserved the rice. She found this odd seeing as how most of the surrounding area was nothing but valley and mountainous terrain. The land wasn't fertile enough to produce rice.
In the shrine gleamed a beautiful rectangular shaped blood red gem.
Shizune couldn't help but to remember the cryptic voice in her head the angel had spoken in. He had commanded her to find a treasure and take it to the well.
She quickly shook her head to forget the bad memories of last night and trailed her grandfather to the back of the shrine where the storage was located. Immediately, her grandfather had her sorting out boxes and dusting things, rattling off about old tales she had no interest in. She tuned him out fairly easy, focused solely on the job at hand.
". . . and that was how the kappa was vanquished!" Hojo proclaimed as she stacked the last box in place. He turned towards her and nodded approvingly. "Nicely done! It is so wonderful to have help like this! It takes a lot of my shoulders. And you know, I've been guarding this shrine since I was your age, Shizune!"
"Why?" Shizune asked bluntly, merely annoyed. "What's the point? What are you guarding it from, Grandpa? From the weather?"
"No. I'm upholding the royal decree that was dictated to the Hakura family five hundred years ago."
Shizune's violet eyes lit up. That number sounded oddly familiar. "What decree? What happened five hundred years ago?"
"Oh, it's such a dusty old story. You're probably sick of hearing my stories."
"Tell me, Grandpa!"
The old man straightened up and popped a few joints in his back, exclaiming at this exertion.
"Oh, alright. But only because you asked." He became quite serious. "The truth is that much of the story of the Hakura decree has regrettably been lost to time and disaster. But this much my grandfather knew. When I was a little boy, he took me aside and told me what he knew.
"The Hakura Shrine was originally a temple built to honor the Emperor's son in the year 1510. He declared that unless his son found a suitable woman to marry and ascend the throne with, not even the lad would claim the throne. It would be turned over to the Emperor's brother instead upon the current ruler's death. Now, I could tell you all sorts of rumors about how the Emperor's son died. Some say it was disease, others say he ran away. But whatever the reason, the Emperor's son simply left the face of Japanese history."
Shizune scoffed. "He just--disappeared?"
"That's right." Hojo Hakura nodded. "Gone. No trace of him to be found. You can imagine the Emperor's woe! Now, the Emperor's son had--like all royalty--a faithful knight to protect him. His name is recorded as being Ixinizhi."
Shizune's nose wrinkled. "What kind of name is that? That's not Japanese!"
"No, it wasn't. But you have to know that the Emperor's son was rumored to have been involved with some dark practices . . ." Hojo murmured. "Legend says that any of his personal guards the heir claimed he stripped them of their birth name and gave them a name that no one could decipher. Have you seen the statues outside this shrine, Shizune? Those statues are the representation of the six samurai that loyally followed the heir of Japan. There are five other shrines on this island and five only that resemble the Hakura shrine."
"Why? What's all this have to do with why you're stuck guarding this place?"
Hojo sighed. "Anyway, right after the heir vanished, the Emperor grew sick and died, wasting away with grief. Ixinizhi, the most faithful of the six samurai, came to this place with a piece of parchment and slew himself on this spot."
Shizune started. "He--killed himself? What for?"
"There was no one left for him to serve. No doubt he saw his existence as needless," Hojo frowned. "The piece of parchment turned out to be a last request upon his death. It was his will that our great, great ancestor, Hajime Hakura, Ixinizhi's vassal at the time, convert the temple into a shrine dedicated to the lost heir of Japan. However, Hajime loved his master so much that instead of dedicating the shrine to the lost son of the Emperor, instead, he had the shrine made in memory of Ixinizhi."
"So . . . you're protecting the shrine because of something that happened five hundred years ago?" Shizune said slowly. "I'm not saying it's not a sad story, but--don't you think it's time to let go of things? Five hundred years have passed!"
"You don't have to watch this shrine if you don't want to," Hojo remarked. "I definitely don't expect that from you. But this is a part of my heritage. It was such an honor for a measly peasant family like us to have been chosen to protect the shrine dedicated to the memory of the very samurai who was at the side of the Emperor's only son!"
Shizune shook her head. "I don't get anything. First of all, why waste your life for someone else that just abandoned you? Second of all, why die for them? And then try to dedicate a holy temple to that person?! People were really naive back then!"
"Don't say that!" Hojo lifted his cane sternly. "You insult every person in the Japanese history that ever believed in something more than what this new generation knows! You youth nowadays live in a world of peace and where sacrifice isn't needed. You're spoiled rotten compared to what our ancestors endured."
He had struck a nerve with Shizune. She let him have it, not holding back an inch.
"Oh!" she barked. "And I didn't sacrifice my life for you?! I didn't uproot myself from everything I knew and move here just so I could listen to you tell me how spoiled I am?! Damn it, what gives you the right to tell me what I deserve? When was the last time we even saw each other?! Five years! You don't even know me anymore!"
And with that fiery vehemence, Shizune whirled around and stomped out of the Hakura shrine, venting. She didn't care how hurtful her words were. She was convinced that everything she had said was the truth, therefore, it was justified.
he sat in her bed, lights off, in the dead of the night. She was glaring at the shining apparition staring back at her at the foot of the bed, motionless. It was now going on three hours since this staring contest had begun.
After the shrine incident, Shizune had gone back to her room without any disruptions, throwing herself in bed to wrestle with her anger. She hadn't gone down to dinner and no one had called her down to the table, but it was okay. She was not in the mood to eat. She was just too furious.
However, as night had began to creep into her room, Shizune fell asleep, and awoke at about ten o' clock to discover that the very angel that had saved her from the Shinigami was hovering at the foot of her bed, radiating that bright, untainted light.
At first, she had been rather frightened, but when nothing further had happened, she just curled up with her knees to her chest and watched him watch her. He said nothing, and she heard no voice in her head. She already knew what he was there for.
His bright green eyes were piercing. Shizune felt like she was being studied molecule by molecule and judged accordingly. She hated that. She hated that he was here now, perfectly still, only his red, red hair floating in a nonexistent breeze, the looming white wings framing his body. His magnificent sword was in his hand, prepared to defend or to attack. All he needed was a reason.
Go away. Go away!
However, the angel didn't waver. He just continued to gaze at her, almost accusingly. He wanted her to go down to the shrine and collect a treasure to give to the Shinigami that wanted to kill her. But she wouldn't. She refused. There was no reason why she should do something so suicidal.
Shizune couldn't take it any longer. At long last, her lips moved and the sound of her irritated voice shattered the tense silence.
"What the hell do you keep looking at me for?! Get the hell out of my room!"
She seized a random object off her dresser and hurled it at his head. He vanished for half a second as the object smashed against the far wall, and then his image reappeared in the same exact spot with the same exact countenance he had been wearing before. It irked her how she couldn't at least get him to change that stupid blank expression.
"Are you deaf?!" Shizune snarled. "I said to get out!"
No reply.
"Maybe I didn't make it clear enough to you. I am not ever going back to that well, even if I was paid to! You can't make me! Now leave me alone!"
At last, his thin lips grew thinner. His green eyes flashed dangerously, enough to make her momentarily shudder. He had such a terrible face when displeased. What kind of expression did he take when infuriated?
God Himself commanded of me to command of you. Who are you to refuse such a Being?
"I'm Shizune!" she retorted, satisfied to hear some sort of communication from this shining creature. "Just Shizune! And that's all! I don't know who you think you are, but you can't just show up and tell me what to do!"
Though it is true I have no power over you because of the Law of Free Will, I must remind you that I can be very persuasive, human.
Shizune grimaced at the way he'd said it, as though he were trying to make a point to her.
"I'd like to see you try!" she snapped.
He raised his sword, as if to strike her. She shielded her face, but instead, he merely pointed the blade directly into her face. And the glint in his eye truly terrified her so much so that she quivered in her bed, paralyzed with the fear she felt from his expression alone.
So be it! I will not hold back anything. Remember this: You brought this misery upon yourself! Heed my warning! Go to the shrine and do as was instructed of you, or be forever plagued with the woe I bestow upon you!
He vanished from sight. Shizune sat there for a moment, expecting the roof to fall in on her head. But there was only silence. She swallowed hard and dared to glance in all directions of the room. But nothing occurred. Convinced that he had been bluffing, Shizune immediately went back to bed, snidely remarking,
"Oh no! Not the dark! Anything but that!" She snorted. "At least he's gone now. Maybe I can get some freaking sleep without having some sort of crazy phenomenon hanging off the corner of my bed."
he crazy phenomenon was doing much more than hanging off the corner of her bed. It was everywhere. It all started the moment Shizune woke up that Tuesday morning. She heard whispers no one else seemed to acknowledge. And things seemed to teleport to other locations without anyone else's knowledge. The voices gradually turned into visions of floating dead people, and the moving objects escalated into flying projectiles that seemed to randomly fly past Shizune.
Scared out of her mind, Shizune had tried everything to block them out, from shutting herself into the closet with the headphones on her ears to actually leaving the shrine. But the dead were everywhere. They seemed to know she could see and hear them, because they kept on pestering her!
The closet apparently had occupants, her headphones became telephones, the earplugs were jerked out of her head and any space in the house at all had some sort of apparition there. Her mother had no idea some creepy looking man was hovering right behind her as she fixed breakfast. A woman with a transfixed stare tagged along behind her father as he attempted to work on the family car. Not even her grandfather was spared. He had his own fan club following him around as he did the chores!
Despite the fact that Shizune tried her best not to communicate to her family at all, they still noticed that she acted oddly, to the point that her mother finally asked if taking a walk would help. Shizune then got the idea that perhaps it was just the shrine that was infested with spirits, and proceeded to leave the grounds.
She couldn't have been more wrong. There were spirits in the form of spheres flying in the air by the hundreds. This whole mountainous side of Japan was just covered with the dead. She had no idea that there were this many souls around her all the time! And to add to that, even though the Shinigami wasn't anywhere to be seen, his hounds were certainly still around. The moment they saw her, they gave chase--in broad daylight! Narrowly escaping once more back under the Myojin torii gates, Shizune settled down to weep as the hounds paced back and forth in front of the barrier she was now able to visualize.
She was trapped, no matter which way she looked at it. If she stayed here, she was prone to break down from mental strain. Not all of these spirits were exactly friendly-looking. Some of them looked downright awful. But on the other hand, if she tried to leave the shrine grounds, the hounds would rip her apart. Either end was filled with misery.
Misery . . .
Shizune's violet eyes narrowed, and she abruptly stood up, shouting at the sky, "This is all
fault! Why are you torturing me like this?! I never did anything to you! You're the one that showed up and just--just took over my life!!"
Something hard cracked her in the back of the head, and she winced. Growling, she glanced down at the ground to see what it was that had hit her. A lone chestnut from a nearby tree had been the culprit. She stooped over and grabbed the nut, launching it at the tree that produced them.
"There!" she snapped. "Take your stupid seeds! I hope you get chopped down!"
And with that, she returned to her house, unable to do anything else.
That night wasn't much better. The spirits were determined to aggravate her. A bunch of them whispered constantly in her ear, but whenever she woke up, no one was around. And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, one of the spirits decided that it was time for American Idol, and started to sing in a rather screechy, off tune manner.
And once again, Shizune completely lost her temper. She jumped out of bed and screamed into the dark room,
"FINE!! FINE!!! I will drag my butt out of bed in the middle of the night, go down to the damn shrine, take the stupid jewel and go to the well!! Are you happy, God?!"
She jerked on a top and some shorts, snatched up a spare flashlight and went outside into the cold night air, her teeth grinding in her jaw. Now that it was night, the spirits seemed to be more active. There were oodles and oodles of them everywhere she looked. It was like snow.
She stormed into the shrine and angrily approached the column where the blood red jewel was housed. She seized it and placed it in her shorts pocket, then demanded, "Okay! I got the jewel! Now what the hell am I supposed to do, huh? Those hounds are still out there!"
The apparition of the angel briefly appeared at the doorway of the shrine, then vanished. Shizune gave chase, wondering what was going on.
"Hey! You! Get back here!"
He had reappeared a few feet away in the middle of the stone pavement. She ran after him as he vanished and manifested over by her grandfather's home. But when she reached him, he vanished once more, only to show himself starting down the dirt drive that led away from the shrine and towards the grove.
"Is he insane?" Shizune panted, a temple throbbing on the side of her head. "Those dogs are still out there! Even though that Shinigami is gone and it was in the middle of the day, they were still roaming around like they belonged there. If I step outside of the shrine grounds, they'll tear me to pieces!"
However, she did remember the fight that had ensued between the Shinigami and the angel before her. Every time it seemed as though Shizune was about to die, he always saved her. Several of those times were from those big hounds.
She gasped. The angel's voice was strong and commanding inside her mind. She hesitated, not sure whether she should go or not. But the sight of all these spirits and the thought of what another day of torture would hold for her made her break into a reluctant run after the angel.
And just as she had thought, he indeed led her down to the border of the shrine grounds, where the gates stood. So far, Shizune could see nothing from the tree line of the grove, but--that didn't mean they weren't being watched.
The red haired angel vanished from in front of her and reappeared on the other side of the barrier, his green eyes beckoning her to follow.
"I can't!" Shizune said impatiently. "Those things are out there!"
And you would believe I would have you die at their hands?
She bit her lower lip. "Prove it! Prove to me you are an angel. A real angel! I may not be a Christian, but I've heard my fair share of stories about angels that weren't angels at all! How do I know I can trust you?"
I cannot drag you to the well by your hair, but perhaps you need further convincing?
Shizune glanced nervously over her shoulder at the spirits, who were starting to crowd around her. She leapt forward and over the boundaries of the shrine grounds, standing in the middle of the dirt road. And as though waiting for this, the hounds exploding out of the grove trees, their blue eyes shining with bloodlust like their master's. Shizune screamed, frozen to the spot.
The hounds attacked the angel, their gaping mouths open, teeth flashing. But the angel merely cut them in two as though they were moving in slow motion.
Go to the shrine!
he ordered.
"I could die!" Shizune shrieked as a hellhound rounded on her. In an explosion of black mass, the angel dispatched the creature and bellowed in a tone that outmatched the thunder.
She screamed and broke into a run, not sure which way she was headed. She dove into the grove trees, her heart racing. The nightmare began again. The vivid memory of being chased through the dark, foreboding forest was resurrected into reality. She could hear the howls of the pursuing giant dogs, hunting her enthusiastically. They had long since been bored with waiting for her to come out from the shrine territory, and now that she was growing farther away, it only excited their hunger.
Tree limbs and growing shrubs assailed her body as she sprinted through the foliage, only this time, she had a flashlight for assistance. She remembered the creek that she'd accidentally fallen into last night and kept her eyes open for it so as not to repeat her misfortune.
The woods seemed to go on and on forever, and her sides were aching. She wasn't going to last much longer. And the hounds were gaining. Shizune questioned her reasoning. Was this really what she'd picked over being haunted by a few spirits? A race against death? She was crazy!
"How much further is it?!" she shouted, mostly to herself.
Her flashlight bounced wildly all over the ground until the light hit a great log that had fallen over. She heard the sound of rushing water and automatically knew she had found the creek. The girl bounded over the tree with little hesitation, knowing her time was short. The well wasn't far from here. At least she was going in the right direction.
Her legs were starting to cramp, and now, she could see the bright blue eyes of the hellhounds tracking her. They too were panting heavily, but far from giving up unlike Shizune. Not now. They had spotted their quarry.
Shizune's last bit of adrenaline surged through her legs, and she finally burst into the clearing, crying out triumphantly at the sight of the lone well sitting in the middle of the open where the dirt path ended.
"Alright!" she shouted at the sky. "I'm here! Now what am I supposed to do?!"
The hellhounds crashed through the trees, snarling. Shizune whirled, gasping. She instinctively shielded her face, waiting for it to tear her arm off her shoulder. Instead, the red haired angel burst out of the trees and buried his wondrous sword into the skull of the hound, causing it to explode.
Call upon the spirit!
the angel said telepathically.
Approach the well, and summon him to the surface!
"How do I do that?!" Shizune gaped.
The angel did not reply. He instead began to battle the numerous canines in a frenzy of flashing blades and teeth. One of the dogs snatched ahold of a large wing and attempted to tear it from his shoulder blade. The angel sliced the dog, however, there was blood seeping from the wound, stained feathers floating to the ground.
The horrified girl clambered to the well's side, shining her flashlight down into the depths.
"H-hey!" she called, unable to think of anything else to say. "Shinigami! I'm back! You want to kill me, don't you? Get up here!"
Distinctly, at the bottom of the well, she saw two bright blue lights flash open, and the glass to her flashlight exploded, causing her to fly back, screaming.
A loud chorus of ghastly howling followed by a sharp wind and a chilly atmosphere set in, heralding the Shinigami's approach. The angel stopped fighting long enough to glance over his shoulder at the well. Shizune trembled as a skeletal hand regaining its flesh clamped onto the well's mouth.
As the Shinigami arose from its grave, his compelling white light grew brighter and brighter, his enraged blue eyes shining like a deity. His snow white hair was covered in multiple blood spatters, his black robes long and flowing. The skull armor glared mercilessly at her shocked countenance. The ice blue sash draped around his waist floated around his body, both his head and where his feet should have been. In his hands was the infamous black scythe of skulls, whose blade sang the song of death.
Shizune recalled the fear clearly now. She was so frightened that she'd forgotten how to breathe. Her chest was paralyzed.
"SHIIIZUUKAAA!!!" the Shinigami bellowed, his voice like an earthquake. The black aura around his body was raging like a fire.
"Aaaargh!!" Shizune screamed.
The angel spoke into her head, dashing to her side, his sword ready.
Present the jewel! Present it if you want to live!
Shizune thrust her hand inside her pocket and dug ferociously, her fingers wrapping around the crimson jewel. The Shinigami swung his scythe back, this ungodly malice etched across his face.
Shizune lifted the jewel, and a vivid, blinding red light flashed, making her clamp her violet eyes shut. The light was so bright that the spirit of Shizuka Grove was even temporarily incapacitated, lowering his scythe.
There was a long, long silence. Shizune dared to peek at the scene. And slowly, both eyes opened and widened considerably. Standing before her was a man that she had never laid eyes on before. His hair was long and black, strips of red complementing his vermillion eyes. He was dressed in armor, and wielded twin katana in his belt. But that wasn't the extraordinary thing about this man.
The most incredible thing about him was that he had a pair of red fox ears atop his head, and a tail poking out the back of his body.
The spirit of Shizuka had completely seemed to have forgotten about Shizune. Instead, his ice blue eyes were fixed upon the being in front of him, his scythe dropping to the ground.
In a bare whisper, in which all other noise was rendered silent, the Shinigami choked out a word that Shizune was sure she'd misheard.

One Got Past The Keeper by Fertile FC
Fathering from a new father's perspective - no experts, just blokes... read more
Fathering from a new father's perspective - no experts, just blokes... read more
I always imagined I'd be a millionaire by my mid-30's, what with running a web development company and being on the bleeding edge of the internet, how could it not happen, sooner of later? Especially if I put in the long caffeinated hours, worked at a furiously pace and kept right at the fore front of the web.
Guess what? It didn't' happen. And its not likely to.
Its not that it CAN'T happen, but that I'm not willing to give up so much purely for money. What do you have to give up to make serious money? At the very least time, pouring it all into your business or career, rarely seeing your kids or wife, and no holidays, weekends, evenings even.
Somehow, over the years, I've come to accept this, and stopped living for the future, and started living for what I have already. Becoming a father helped in huge and unmeasurable ways, by putting a limit on the amount of hours I could work, at least if I didn't want to miss seeing Sonny (3) and April (6) grow up.
Realising that we can't all be millionaires, and that most of us will simply live our lives on a modest wage, has strangely made my life more exciting. If I won't be getting rich anytime soon, I can enjoy each moment with my great family, I can surf, swim, run and kick a ball around, go camping, on holidays, tend my bees and see my friends. And I'll get to enjoy the next year, 5 years, 10 years, instead of always working towards my future, investing all that time and effort just on money.
Its not so bad after all really is it?
Children are a great reason to live in the 'now, to live in the moment, and every moment is precious – I agree
Always good to keep it in perspective why we're here Yari. To steal a line from the Cold Chisel song Bow River. "I've been working hard, twelve hours a day, but the money I save won't buy my youth again". Never a truer word penned.
I think you get maybe 10-15 years of your kids attention, and then some more once they become parents themselves.
I think lapping it up now is great, and you can become a millionaire in your 50's, or may just be too set in your surfing, camping, ball kicking ways. 🙂
Good supportive words fella's, now I've gotta run as the surf is pumping

Wooldridge Uses Prisoners to Clean Levee
Related Story
WOOLDRIDGE - Prisoners from the Boonville Correctional Center cleaned up the brush on top of sandbags on its levee. The levee is supposed to protect the Petite Saline Creek from backing up into town if the Missouri River floodwaters push into it. The Petite Saline Creek waters will back up behind storm water that's already in front of the levee. Storm water cannot leave town though because there's a ditch that's keeping the water from getting out. That's one of the things crews will have to clear if they want to get more storm water out of town. They also have to deal with protecting the town from floodwaters though heading toward town.
"We need to make it possible to mow," Wooldridge Vice Chairman Jeff Vollrath said. "Right now you can't run a piece of equipment down it because there's so much all over the levee."
The prisoners will remove the sandbags that are on the levee right now after cleaning up the brush. Vollrath doesn't know yet if flood waters will get high enough for the village to put sandbags up again.

"Wake up Dear – father needs to speak with you", was how I was awoken in the dark to see my father, Abraham H. Solomon, sitting on the side chair near my bed late August 1963. Fifty years ago this month my civil rights activist father wanted me to know that he was leaving our Philadelphia home to join Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for the 1963 March on Washington D.C. . Being very close to my father, I asked if I could come along and became concerned when the response was 'no' as father felt these were troubling times and he could not assure my safety. We shared a prayer and bid farewell – even at nine I knew my father needed to leave to pursue with others justice for those suffering and I was proud.
Well now, that day was not REALLY unique in the Solomon household – father having gone to other such demonstrations, etc. . Often the infamous and famous sat at our dinner table in deep and serious discussion concerning important national and international topics relevant to the day"s news – frequently involving the pressing civil rights of this nation"s minority community. As a Jewish American family there was always the imperative impetus to further rights of other minorities and those oppressed. My Father always walked the walk so to speak – Abraham H. Solomon supported the NAACP, Voting Rights Act of 1965 and more. His legacy leaves we his family proud and enlightened … each of us continually striving to be just a small fraction of the great, moral and decent REAL man he was.
When I campaigned for Barack Obama the first [and second] time I knew and others close to me realized that I felt it my duty to fulfill my father"s REAL destiny by seeing an African American reach the highest office in this land. Actually, my husband shared that many of our dear family, friends and colleagues told him they fretted over my feelings should we have lost the 2008 Presidential election. Yes that is how deeply I felt communication with and responsibility to my late father – knowing this was REALLY the right thing for America.
Free at last, free at last, thank G-d almighty …
— I Have A Dream Speech
Those words are not yet a fully realized ideal, but that iconic historic speech is finally becoming a truly achievable possibility – this I promise my father, Abraham who is still dearly loved and always missed by many!
P.S. I am proud to have been invited to the 50th March on D.C. Anniversary, 24 August 2013. There will be more about that in my soon memoir, Heiress Mommy … A Modern Super Woman Life! and even further detailed in the the follow up, Life Journey of Heiress Mommy! Another important topic in my two books will be why [only] one reason my wonderful husband decided to legally take my last name and agree our children do the same was his being REALLY impressed by my parents and honored to carry their name forever – trust me, they are equally proud to have him and our children be Solomons !

The 29-year-old is hopeful regarding the European champions' silverware chances next year and spoke of his admiration for club coach Carlo Ancelotti
Cristiano Ronaldo has believes that Real Madrid can win everything possible in 2015 after a stellar 12 months saw them become European and world champions.
The Decima was won in May, shortly after they had beaten Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, and they capped off 2014 with a Club World Cup triumph as they extended their phenomenal winning streak in all competitions to 22 games.
Ronaldo, who has scored 32 goals in 25 appearances for the Blancos in 2014-15, suggested that they can capitalise on their current table-topping position in La Liga to do even better in the coming year.
"We've had quite a few amazing moments like the Copa del Rey final, the Champions League, the Uefa Super Cup and now the Club World Cup which we dedicate to all madridistas and everyone at the club from the president to every last employee; that trophy is for all of them," Ronaldo, 29, told AS.
"It's hard to single out which one of the four was best but, if I had to choose one, it would be the Champions League in Lisbon. But all of them were spectacular to win.
"I hope 2015 is even better than 2014. At Real Madrid we have a collective spirit which can propel us to win the most silverware possible.
"It's possible because Madrid will always amongst the candidates to win every competition they enter. We will be giving absolutely everything we've got to win every trophy in play next year."
Ronaldo also heaped praise on head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has been widely praised for galvanising a dressing room following Jose Mourinho's departure from the Santiago Bernabeu for Chelsea last summer.
"The coach has great importance," Ronaldo added. "He is a great coach and a great person. We are all delighted with him. Together we are a united family that will try to overcome the successes of 2014."
Real Madrid have a friendly tie against Filippo Inzaghi's AC Milan on Tuesday before getting back into competitive footballing action with a visit to Valencia in La Liga the following Sunday, on January 4.

Instead, an indirect, supportive technique is best: likelihood is you may ponder responding to condom-associated posts, shopping for a pay-per-click on advert campaign (for ads alongside the sidebar) or asserting an event, providing specific particular person assist or normal recommendation. It's a powerful message about how info has develop to be much much less about actual news and additional about chatter, social buzz and the race for rankings.
The Chernobyl nuclear plant was in northern Ukraine, which on the time was part of the Soviet Union. In April 1986, technicians made a group of errors. A sequence response throughout the nuclear core went uncontrolled and a sequence of explosions blew the roof off the containment vessel. A huge cloud of radioactive gasoline was launched and it drifted over Europe; it was detected as far-off as Japan.
Thanks so much in your article. It has helped me get along with my studies! I was stuck for ideas earlier than discovering this. Very helpful.
