Chapter 9: THIS GUILTY BLOOD
"I DON'T REMEMBER THERE EVEN BEING A CELLAR HERE," Jace said, staring past Clary at the gaping hole in the wall. He raised the witchlight, and its glow bounced off the downward-leading tunnel. The walls were black and slick, made of a smooth dark stone Clary didn't recognize. The steps gleamed as if they were damp. A strange smell drifted up through the opening: dank, musty, with a weird metallic tinge that set her nerves on edge.
"What do you think could be down there?"
"I don't know. " Jace moved toward the stairs; he put a foot on the top step, testing it, and then shrugged as if he'd made up his mind. He began to make his way down the steps, moving carefully. Partway down he turned and looked up at Clary. "Are you coming? You can wait up here for me if you want to. "
She glanced around the empty library, then shivered and hurried after him.
The stairs spiraled down in tighter and tighter circles, as if they were making their way through the inside of a huge conch shell. The smell grew stronger as they reached the bottom, and the steps widened out into a large square room whose stone walls were streaked with the marks of damp—and other, darker stains. The floor was scrawled with markings: a jumble of pentagrams and runes, with white stones scattered here and there.
Jace took a step forward and something crunched under his feet. He and Clary looked down at the same time. "Bones," Clary whispered. Not white stones after all, but bones of all shapes and sizes, scattered across the floor. "What was he doing down here?"
The witchlight burned in Jace's hand, casting its eerie glow over the room. "Experiments," Jace said in a dry, tense tone. "The Seelie Queen said—"
"What kind of bones are these?" Clary's voice rose. "Are they animal bones?"
"No. " Jace kicked a pile of bones with his feet, scattering them. "Not all of them. "
Clary's chest felt tight. "I think we should go back. "
Instead Jace raised the witchlight in his hand. It blazed out, brightly and then more brightly, lighting the air with a harsh white brilliance. The far corners of the room sprang into focus. Three of them were empty. The fourth was blocked with a hanging cloth. There was something behind the cloth, a humped shape—
"Jace," Clary whispered. "What is that?"
He didn't reply. There was a seraph blade in his free hand, suddenly; Clary didn't know when he'd drawn it, but it shone in the witchlight like a blade of ice.
"Jace, don't," said Clary, but it was too late—he strode forward and twitched the cloth aside with the tip of the blade, then seized it and jerked it down. It fell in a blossoming cloud of dust.
Jace staggered back, the witchlight falling from his grasp. As the blazing light fell, Clary caught a single glimpse of his face: It was a white mask of horror. Clary snatched the witchlight up before it could go dark and raised it high, desperate to see what could have shocked Jace—unshockable Jace—so badly.
At first all she saw was the shape of a man—a man wrapped in a dirty white rag, crouched on the floor. Manacles circled his wrists and ankles, attached to thick metal staples driven into the stone floor. How can he be alive? Clary thought in horror, and bile rose up in her throat. The rune-stone shook in her hand, and light danced in patches over the prisoner: She saw emaciated arms and legs, scarred all over with the marks of countless tortures. The skull of a face turned toward her, black empty sockets where the eyes should have been—and then there was a dry rustle, and she saw that what she had thought was a white rag were wings, white wings rising up behind his back in two pure white crescents, the only pure things in this filthy room.
She gave a dry gasp. "Jace. Do you see—"
"I see. " Jace, standing beside her, spoke in a voice that cracked like broken glass.
"You said there weren't any angels—that no one had ever seen one—"
Jace was whispering something under his breath, a string of what sounded like panicked curses. He stumbled forward, toward the huddled creature on the floor—and recoiled, as if he had bounced off an invisible wall. Looking down, Clary saw that the angel crouched inside a pentagram made of connected runes graven deeply into the floor; they glowed with a faint phosphorescent light. "The runes," she whispered. "We can't get past—"
"But there must be something—" Jace said, his voice nearly breaking, "something we can do. "
The angel raised its head. Clary saw with a distracted, terrible pity that it had curling golden hair like Jace's that shone dully in the light. Tendrils clung close to the hollows of its skull. Its eyes were pits, its face slashed with scars, like a beautiful painting destroyed by vandals. As she stared, its mouth opened and a sound poured from its throat—not words but a piercing golden music, a single singing note, held and held and held so high and sweet that the sound was like pain—
A flood of images rose up before Clary's eyes. She was still clutching the rune-stone, but its light was gone; she was gone, no longer there but somewhere else, where the pictures of the past flowed before her in a waking dream—fragments, colors, sounds.
She was in a wine cellar, bare and clean, a single huge rune scrawled on the stone floor. A man stood beside it; he held an open book in one hand and a blazing white torch in the other. When he raised his head, Clary saw that it was Valentine: much younger, his face unlined and handsome, his dark eyes clear and bright. As he chanted, the rune blazed up into fire, and when the flames receded, a crumpled figure lay among the ashes: an angel, wings spread and bloody, like a bird shot out of the sky….
The scene changed. Valentine stood by a window, at his side a young woman with shining red hair. A familiar silver ring gleamed on his hand as he reached to put his arms around her. With a jolt of pain Clary recognized her mother—but she was young, her features soft and vulnerable. She was wearing a white nightgown and was obviously pregnant.
"The Accords," Valentine was saying angrily, "were not just the worst idea the Clave has ever had, but the worst thing that could happen to Nephilim. That we should be bound to Downworlders, tied to those creatures—"
"Valentine," Jocelyn said with a smile, "enough about politics, please. " She reached up and twined her arms around Valentine's neck, her expression full of love—and his was as well, but there was something else in it, something that sent a shiver down Clary's spine….
Valentine knelt in the center of a circle of trees. There was a bright moon overhead, illuminating the black pentagram that had been scrawled into the scraped earth of the clearing. The branches of trees made a thick net overhead; where they extended above the edge of the pentagram, their leaves curled and turned black. In the center of the five-pointed star sat a woman with long, shining hair; her shape was slim and lovely, her face hidden in shadow, her arms bare and white. Her left hand was extended in front of her, and as she opened her fingers, Clary could see that there was a long slash across her palm, dripping a slow stream of blood into a silver cup that rested on the pentagram's edge. The blood looked black in the moonlight, or perhaps it was black.
"The child born with this blood in him," she said, and her voice was soft and lovely, "will exceed in power the Greater Demons of the abysses between the worlds. He will be more mighty than the Asmodei, stronger than the shedim of the storms. If he is properly trained, there is nothing he will not be able to do. Though I warn you," she added, "it will burn out his humanity, as poison burns the life from the blood. "
"My thanks to you, Lady of Edom," said Valentine, and as he reached to take the cup of blood, the woman lifted her face, and Clary saw that though she was otherwise beautiful, her eyes were hollow black holes from which curled waving black tentacles, like feelers probing the air. Clary stifled a scream—
The night, the forest, vanished. Jocelyn stood facing someone Clary couldn't see. She was no longer pregnant, and her bright hair straggled around her stricken, despairing face. "I can't stay with him, Ragnor," she said. "Not for another day. I read his book. Do you know what he did to Jonathan? I didn't think even Valentine could do that. " Her shoulders shook. "He used demon blood—Jonathan's not a baby anymore. He isn't even human; he's a monster—"
She vanished. Valentine was pacing restlessly around the circle of runes, a seraph blade shining in his hand. "Why won't you speak?" he muttered. "Why won't you give me what I want?" He drove down with the knife, and the angel writhed as golden liquid poured from its wound like spilled sunlight. "If you won't give me answers," Valentine hissed, "you can give me your blood. It will do me and mine more good than it will you. "
Now they were in the Wayland library. Sunlight shone through the diamond-paned windows, flooding the room with blue and green. Voices came from another room: the sounds of laughter and chatting, a party going on. Jocelyn knelt by the bookshelf, glancing from side to side. She drew a thick book from her pocket and slipped it onto the shelf….
And she was gone. The scene showed a cellar, the same cellar that Clary knew she was standing in right now. The same scrawled pentagram scarred the floor, and within the center of the star lay the angel. Valentine stood by, once again with a burning seraph blade in his hand. He looked years older now, no longer a young man. "Ithuriel," he said. "We are old friends now, aren't we? I could have left you buried alive under those ruins, but no, I brought you here with me. All these years I've kept you close, hoping one day you would tell me what I wanted—needed—to know. " He came closer, holding the blade out, its blaze lighting the runic barrier to a shimmer. "When I summoned you, I dreamed that you would tell me why. Why Raziel created us, his race of Shadowhunters, yet did not give us the powers Downworlders have—the speed of the wolves, the immortality of the Fair Folk, the magic of warlocks, even the endurance of vampires. He left us naked before the hosts of hell but for these painted lines on our skin. Why should their powers be greater than ours? Why can't we share in what they have? How is that just?"
Within its imprisoning star the angel sat silent as a marble statue, unmoving, its wings folded. Its eyes expressed nothing beyond a terrible silent sorrow.
Valentine's mouth twisted. "Very well. Keep your silence. I will have my chance. " Valentine lifted the blade. "I have the Mortal Cup, Ithuriel, and soon I shall have the Sword—but without the Mirror I cannot begin the summoning. The Mirror is all I need. Tell me where it is. Tell me where it is, Ithuriel, and I will let you die. "
The scene broke apart in fragments, and as her vision faded, Clary caught glimpses of images now familiar to her from her own nightmares—angels with wings both white and black; sheets of mirrored water, gold and blood; and Jace, turning away from her, always turning away. Clary reached out for him, and for the first time the angel's voice spoke in her head in words that she could understand.
These are not the first dreams I have ever showed you.
The image of a rune burst behind her eyes, like fireworks—not a rune she had ever seen before; it was as strong, simple, and straightforward as a tied knot. It was gone in a breath as well, and as it vanished, the angel's singing ceased. Clary was back in her own body, reeling on her feet in the filthy and reeking room. The angel was silent, frozen, wings folded, a grieving effigy.
Clary let out her breath in a sob. "Ithuriel. " She reached her hands out to the angel, knowing she couldn't pass the runes, her heart aching. For years the angel had been down here, sitting silent and alone in the blackness, chained and starving but unable to die….
Jace was beside her. She could see from his stricken face that he'd seen everything she had. He looked down at the seraph blade in his hand and then back at the angel. Its blind face was turned toward them in silent supplication.
Jace took a step forward, and then another. His eyes were fixed on the angel, and it was as if, Clary thought, there were some silent communication passing between them, some speech she couldn't hear. Jace's eyes were bright as gold disks, full of reflected light.
"Ithuriel," he whispered.
The blade in his hand blazed up like a torch. Its glow was blinding. The angel raised its face, as if the light were visible to its blind eyes. It reached out its hands, the chains that bound its wrists rattling like harsh music.
Jace turned to her. "Clary," he said. "The runes. "
The runes. For a moment she stared at him, puzzled, but his eyes urged her onward. She handed Jace the witchlight, took his stele from her pocket, and knelt down by the scrawled runes. They looked as if they'd been gouged into the stone with something sharp.
She glanced up at Jace. His expression startled her, the blaze in his eyes—they were full of faith in her, of confidence in her abilities. With the tip of the stele she traced several lines into the floor, changing the runes of binding to runes of release, imprisonment to openness. They flared up as she traced them, as if she were dragging a match tip across sulphur.
Done, she rose to her feet. The runes shimmered before her. Abruptly Jace moved to stand beside her. The witchlight stone was gone, the only illumination coming from the seraph blade that he'd named for the angel, blazing in his hand. He stretched it out, and this time his hand passed through the barrier of the runes as if there were nothing there.
The angel reached its hands up and took the blade from him. It shut its blind eyes, and Clary thought for a moment that it smiled. It turned the blade in its grasp until the sharp tip rested just below its breastbone. Clary gave a little gasp and moved forward, but Jace grabbed her arm, his grip like iron, and yanked her backward—just as the angel drove the blade home.
The angel's head fell back, its hands dropping from the hilt, which protruded from just where its heart would be—if angels had hearts; Clary didn't know. Flames burst from the wound, spreading outward from the blade. The angel's body shimmered into white flame, the chains on its wrists burning scarlet, like iron left too long in a fire. Clary thought of medieval paintings of saints consumed in the blaze of holy ecstasy—and the angel's wings flew wide and white before they, too, caught and blazed up, a lattice of shimmering fire.
Clary could no longer watch. She turned and buried her face in Jace's shoulder. His arm came around her, his grip tight and hard. "It's all right," he said into her hair, "it's all right," but the air was full of smoke and the ground felt like it was rocking under her feet. It was only when Jace stumbled that she realized it wasn't shock: The ground was moving. She let go of Jace and staggered; the stones underfoot were grinding together, and a thin rain of dirt was sifting down from the ceiling. The angel was a pillar of smoke; the runes around it glowed painfully bright. Clary stared at them, decoding their meaning, and then looked wildly at Jace. "The manor—it was tied to Ithuriel. If the angel dies, the manor—"
She didn't finish her sentence. He had already seized her hand and was running for the stairs, pulling her along after him. The stairs themselves were surging and buckling; Clary fell, banging her knee painfully on a step, but Jace's grip on her arm didn't loosen. She raced on, ignoring the pain in her leg, her lungs full of choking dust.
They reached the top of the steps and exploded out into the library. Behind them Clary could hear the soft roar as the rest of the stairs collapsed. It wasn't much better here; the room was shuddering, books tumbling from their shelves. A statue lay where it had tipped over, in a pile of jagged shards. Jace let go of Clary's hand, seized up a chair, and, before she could ask him what he meant to do, threw it at the stained-glass window.
It sailed through in a waterfall of broken glass. Jace turned and held his hand out to her. Behind him, through the jagged frame that remained, she could see a moonlight-saturated stretch of grass and a line of treetops in the distance. They seemed a long way down. I can't jump that far, she thought, and was about to shake her head at Jace when she saw his eyes widen, his mouth shaping a warning. One of the heavy marble busts that lined the higher shelves had slid free and was falling toward her; she ducked out of its way, and it hit the floor inches from where she'd been standing, leaving a sizeable dent in the floor.
A second later Jace's arms were around her and he was lifting her off her feet. She was too surprised to struggle as he carried her over to the broken window and dumped her unceremoniously out of it.
She hit a grassy rise just below the window and tumbled down its steep incline, gaining speed until she fetched up against a hillock with enough force to knock the breath out of her. She sat up, shaking grass out of her hair. A second later Jace came to a stop next to her; unlike her, he rolled immediately into a crouch, staring up the hill at the manor house.
Clary turned to look where he was looking, but he'd already grabbed her, shoving her down into the depression between the two hills. Later she'd find dark bruises on her upper arms where he'd held her; now she just gasped in surprise as he knocked her down and rolled on top of her, shielding her with his body as a huge roar went up. It sounded like the earth shattering apart, like a volcano erupting. A blast of white dust shot into the sky. Clary heard a sharp pattering noise all around her. For a bewildered moment she thought it had started to rain—then she realized it was rubble and dirt and broken glass: the detritus of the shattered manor being flung down around them like deadly hail.
Jace pressed her harder into the ground, his body flat against hers, his heartbeat nearly as loud in her ears as the sound of the manor's subsiding ruins.
The roar of the collapse faded slowly, like smoke dissipating into the air. It was replaced by the loud chirruping of startled birds; Clary could see them over Jace's shoulder, circling curiously against the dark sky.
"Jace," she said softly. "I think I dropped your stele somewhere. "
He drew back slightly, propping himself on his elbows, and looked down at her. Even in the darkness she could see herself reflected in his eyes; his face was streaked with soot and dirt, the collar of his shirt torn. "That's all right. As long as you're not hurt. "
"I'm fine. " Without thinking, she reached up, her fingers brushing lightly through his hair. She felt him tense, his eyes darkening.
"There was grass in your hair," she said. Her mouth was dry; adrenaline sang through her veins. Everything that had just happened—the angel, the shattering manor—seemed less real than what she saw in Jace's eyes.
"You shouldn't touch me," he said.
Her hand froze where it was, her palm against his cheek. "Why not?"
"You know why," he said, and shifted away from her, rolling onto his back. "You saw what I saw, didn't you? The past, the angel. Our parents. "
It was the first time, she thought, that he'd called them that. Our parents. She turned onto her side, wanting to reach out to him but not sure if she should. He was staring blindly up at the sky. "I saw. "
"You know what I am. " The words breathed out in an anguished whisper. "I'm part demon, Clary. Part demon. You understood that much, didn't you?" His eyes bored into her like drills. "You saw what Valentine was trying to do. He used demon blood—used it on me before I was even born. I'm part monster. Part everything I've tried so hard to burn out, to destroy. "
Clary pushed away the memory of Valentine's voice saying, She told me that I had turned her first child into a monster. "But warlocks are part demon. Like Magnus. It doesn't make them evil—"
"Not part Greater Demon. You heard what the demon woman said. "
It will burn out his humanity, as poison burns the life from the blood. Clary's voice trembled. "It's not true. It can't be. It doesn't make sense—"
"But it does. " There was a furious desperation in Jace's expression. She could see the gleam of the silver chain around his bare throat, lit to a white flare by the starlight. "It explains everything. "
"You mean it explains why you're such an amazing Shadowhunter? Why you're loyal and fearless and honest and everything demons aren't?"
"It explains," he said, evenly, "why I feel the way I do about you. "
"What do you mean?"
He was silent for a long moment, staring at her across the tiny space that separated them. She could feel him, even though he wasn't touching her, as if he still lay with his body against hers. "You're my sister," he said finally. "My sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you"—he laughed soundlessly and without any humor—"to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what I want to do. "
Clary's breath caught. "You said you just wanted to be my brother from now on. "
"I lied," he said. "Demons lie, Clary. You know, there are some kinds of wounds you can get when you're a Shadowhunter—internal injuries from demon poison. You don't even know what's wrong with you, but you're bleeding to death slowly inside. That's what it's like, just being your brother. "
"But Aline—"
"I had to try. And I did. " His voice was lifeless. "But God knows, I don't want anyone but you. I don't even want to want anyone but you. " He reached out, trailed his fingers lightly through her hair, fingertips brushing her cheek. "Now at least I know why. "
Clary's voice had sunk to a whisper. "I don't want anyone but you, either. "
She was rewarded by the catch in his breathing. Slowly he drew himself up onto his elbows. Now he was looking down at her, and his expression had changed—there was a look on his face she'd never seen before, a sleepy, almost deadly light in his eyes. He let his fingers trail down her cheek to her lips, outlining the shape of her mouth with the tip of a finger. "You should probably," he said, "tell me not to do this. "
She said nothing. She didn't want to tell him to stop. She was tired of saying no to Jace—of never letting herself feel what her whole heart wanted her to feel. Whatever the cost.
He bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly—and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. "If you want me to stop, tell me now," he whispered. When she still said nothing, he brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple. "Or now. " He traced the line of her cheekbone. "Or now. " His lips were against hers. "Or—"
But she had reached up and pulled him down to her, and the rest of his words were lost against her mouth. He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn't gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her, gathering her against him, and they rolled over on the grass, tangled together, still kissing. There were rocks digging into Clary's back, and her shoulder ached where she'd fallen from the window, but she didn't care. All that existed was Jace; all she felt, hoped, breathed, wanted, and saw was Jace. Nothing else mattered.
Despite her coat, she could feel the heat of him burning through his clothes and hers. She tugged his jacket off, and then somehow his shirt was off too. Her fingers explored his body as his mouth explored hers: soft skin over lean muscle, scars like thin wires. She touched the star-shaped scar on his shoulder—it was smooth and flat, as if it were a part of his skin, not raised like his other scars. She supposed they were imperfections, these marks, but they didn't feel that way to her; they were a history, cut into his body: the map of a life of endless war.
He fumbled with the buttons of her coat, his hands shaking. She didn't think she'd ever seen Jace's hands unsteady before. "I'll do it," she said, and reached for the last button herself; as she raised herself up, something cold and metallic struck her collarbone, and she gasped in surprise.
"What is it?" Jace froze. "Did I hurt you?"
"No. It was this. " She touched the silver chain around his neck. On its end hung a small silver circle of metal. It had bumped against her when she'd leaned forward. She stared at it now.
That ring—the weather-beaten metal with its pattern of stars—she knew that ring.
The Morgenstern ring. It was the same ring that had gleamed on Valentine's hand in the dream the angel had showed them. It had been his, and he had given it to Jace, as it had always been passed along, father to son.
"I'm sorry," Jace said. He traced the line of her cheek with his fingertip, a dreamlike intensity in his gaze. "I forgot I was wearing the damn thing. "
Sudden cold flooded Clary's veins. "Jace," she said, in a low voice. "Jace, don't. "
"Don't what? Don't wear the ring?"
"No, don't—don't touch me. Stop for a second. "
His face went still. Questions had chased away the dreamlike confusion in his eyes, but he said nothing, just withdrew his hand.
"Jace," she said again. "Why? Why now?"
His lips parted in surprise. She could see a dark line where he had bitten his bottom lip, or maybe she had bitten it. "Why what now?"
"You said there was nothing between us. That if we—if we let ourselves feel what we might want to feel, we'd be hurting everyone we care about. "
"I told you. I was lying. " His eyes softened. "You think I don't want to—?"
"No," she said. "No, I'm not stupid; I know that you do. But when you said that now you finally understand why you feel this way about me, what did you mean?"
Not that she didn't know, she thought, but she had to ask, had to hear him say it.
Jace caught her wrists and drew her hands up to his face, lacing his fingers through hers. "You remember what I said to you at the Penhallows' house?" he asked. "That you never think about what you do before you do it, and that's why you wreck everything you touch?"
"No, I'd forgotten that. Thanks for the reminder. "
He barely seemed to notice the sarcasm in her voice. "I wasn't talking about you, Clary. I was talking about me. That's what I'm like. " He turned his face slightly and her fingers slid along his cheek. "At least now I know why. I know what's wrong with me. And maybe—maybe that's why I need you so much. Because if Valentine made me a monster, then I suppose he made you a sort of angel. And Lucifer loved God, didn't he? So says Milton, anyway. "
Clary sucked in her breath. "I am not an angel. And you don't even know that that's what Valentine used Ithuriel's blood for—maybe Valentine just wanted it for himself—"
"He said the blood was for 'me and mine,'" Jace said quietly. "It explains why you can do what you can do, Clary. The Seelie Queen said we were both experiments. Not just me. "
"I'm not an angel, Jace," she repeated. "I don't return library books. I steal illegal music off the Internet. I lie to my mom. I am completely ordinary. "
"Not to me. " He looked down at her. His face hovered against a background of stars. There was nothing of his usual arrogance in his expression—she had never seen him look so unguarded, but even that unguardedness was mixed with a self-hatred that ran as deep as a wound. "Clary, I—"
"Get off me," Clary said.
"What?" The desire in his eyes cracked into a thousand pieces like the shards of the Portal mirror at Renwick's, and for a moment his expression was blankly astonished. She could hardly bear to look at him and still say no. Looking at him now—even if she hadn't been in love with him, that part of her that was her mother's daughter, that loved every beautiful thing for its beauty alone, would still have wanted him.
But, then, it was precisely because she was her mother's daughter that it was impossible.
"You heard me," she said. "And leave my hands alone. " She snatched them back, knotting them into tight fists to stop their shaking.
He didn't move. His lip curled back, and for a moment she saw that predatory light in his eyes again, but now it was mixed with anger. "I don't suppose you want to tell me why?"
"You think you only want me because you're evil, not human. You just want something else you can hate yourself for. I won't let you use me to prove to yourself how worthless you are. "
"I never said that. I never said I was using you. "
"Fine," she said. "Tell me now that you're not a monster. Tell me there's nothing wrong with you. And tell me you would want me even if you didn't have demon blood. " Because I don't have demon blood. And I still want you.
Their gazes locked, his blindly furious; for a moment neither breathed, and then he flung himself off her, swearing, and rolled to his feet. Snatching his shirt up from the grass, he drew it over his head, still glaring. He yanked the shirt down over his jeans and turned away to look for his jacket.
Clary stood up, staggering a little. The stinging wind raised goose bumps on her arms. Her legs felt like they were made of half-melted wax. She did up the buttons on her coat with numb fingers, fighting the urge to burst into tears. Crying wouldn't help anything now.
The air was still full of dancing dust and ash, the grass all around scattered with debris: shattered bits of furniture; the pages of books blowing mournfully in the wind; splinters of gilded wood; a chunk of almost half a staircase, mysteriously unharmed. Clary turned to look at Jace; he was kicking bits of debris with a savage satisfaction. "Well," he said, "we're screwed. "
It wasn't what she'd expected. She blinked. "What?"
"Remember? You lost my stele. There's no chance of you drawing a Portal now. " He spoke the words with a bitter pleasure, as if the situation satisfied him in some obscure way. "We've got no other way of getting back. We're going to have to walk. "
It wouldn't have been a pleasant walk under normal circumstances. Accustomed to city lights, Clary couldn't believe how dark it was in Idris at night. The thick black shadows that lined the road on either side seemed to be crawling with barely visible things, and even with Jace's witchlight she could see only a few feet ahead of them. She missed streetlights, the ambient glow of headlights, the sounds of the city. All she could hear now was the steady crunch of their boots on gravel and, every once in a while, her own breath puffing out in surprise as she tripped over a stray rock.
After a few hours her feet began to ache and her mouth was dry as parchment. The air had grown very cold, and she hunched along shivering, her hands thrust deep into her pockets. But even all that would have been bearable if only Jace had been talking to her. He hadn't spoken a word since they'd left the manor except to snap out directions, telling her which way to turn at a fork in the road, or ordering her to skirt a pothole. Even then she doubted if he would have minded much if she'd fallen into the pothole, except that it would have slowed them down.
Eventually the sky in the east began to lighten. Clary, stumbling along half-asleep, raised her head in surprise. "It's early for dawn. "
Jace looked at her with bland contempt. "That's Alicante. The sun doesn't come up for another three hours at least. Those are the city lights. "
Too relieved that they were nearly home to mind his attitude, Clary picked up her pace. They rounded a corner and found themselves walking along a wide dirt path cut into a hillside. It snaked along the curve of the slope, disappearing around a bend in the distance. Though the city was not yet visible, the air had grown brighter, the sky shot through with a peculiar reddish glow.
"We must be nearly there," Clary said. "Is there a shortcut down the hill?"
Jace was frowning. "Something's wrong," he said abruptly. He took off, half-running down the road, his boots sending up puffs of dust that gleamed ochre in the strange light. Clary ran to keep pace, ignoring the protests of her blistered feet. They rounded the next curve and Jace skidded to a sudden halt, sending Clary crashing into him. In another circumstance it might have been comic. It wasn't now.
The reddish light was stronger now, throwing a scarlet glow up into the night sky, lighting the hill they stood on as if it were daylight. Plumes of smoke curled up from the valley below like the unfurling feathers of a black peacock. Rising from the black vapor were the demon towers of Alicante, their crystalline shells like arrows of fire piercing the smoky air. Through the thick smoke, Clary could glimpse the leaping scarlet of flames, scattered across the city like a handful of glittering jewels across a dark cloth.
It seemed incredible, but there it was: They were standing on a hillside high over Alicante, and below them the city was burning.

I stupidly placed an order for yeezy shoes. I got a really weird email confirmation and started to get nervous about a scam. There is no way to contact them other than email. I canceled my order but the next day I got a shipping confirmation with no way to contact them again. The tracking information does not show up. The amount charged to my credit card is more then what I paid.Show more...
My demands:
I just want to get the information out there. Several people have fallen for this and I doubt the shoes are real.

Today's blog post is brought to you by the word "Renaissance." The word has multiple meanings. It refers to a period of cultural rebirth in European history, stretching from the 14th to 17th centuries, but it also can refer to any period of new growth or renewal of life.
One could argue that, in the past five years, I've experienced my own renaissance by embracing fitness and healthy eating, and taking command of my own health. In fact, I'd argue that until I was blue in the face. (And my family and friends will vouch that I'm a stubborn bastard that LOVES a good argument.)
But today's post isn't about my renaissance, it's about… skyscrapers. Specifically, two skyscraper complexes about 1700 miles apart. The first is the Renaissance Center, in Detroit, Michigan, and it's the venue of my next stair race.
I'll be racing in the American Lung Association's Fight For Air Climb, in that center tower, this Sunday morning. In fact, there's a good chance I'll be on a plane to Michigan exactly when you're reading this. Or maybe I'll waiting at the airport. Or maybe I'll already be in Michigan. How am I supposed to know? I'm not psychic. Sheesh.
Anyway, that center tower is 70 stories (1,035 steps), and while much of the seven-tower Renaissance Center serves as world headquarters for General Motors, that center tower is a Marriott Hotel. I dined at the restaurant on the top floor with my father a few years back, and I can't wait to get to that restaurant again… using my own two feet.
On the other side of the country, in Phoenix, Arizona, is another skyscraper complex with a similar name. Let me introduce you to Renaissance Square:
There are two towers: one is 26 stories, the other is 28. It's home to another American Lung Association Fight For Air Climb, and yesterday, I signed up for it. That's right, I added a sixth race to my 2015 race schedule, and this one sounds fun, because it's in both towers (up the stairs, down the elevators).
I was able to sign up in the "Elite" category, which always makes me feel good. Elite climbers are the crazy fast, competitive athletes that are going for their best time possible, and they're typically the first ones to enter the stairwell at the start of the race.
Furthermore, this race had another option, which they call the "Extreme Climb." It's going up both towers twice. I'm not gonna go on the way to Phoenix and not do all the stairs I can, so going Extreme was a no-brainer. One climb of each tower totals 53 floors, so the Extreme climb equals 106. That's a few stories taller than climbing the
Willis Sears Tower in Chicago – in other words, a lot of stories.
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, in Arizona, I'll be both Elite and Extreme.
You know what I just realized? It's been a good solid month since I hit you all up for money! Where has the time gone? That's sarcasm, by the way. In all seriousness, I'll need to raise at least $100 for the American Lung Association before going to Phoenix in two and a half weeks. Can you help me out? Click Here To Donate!
Your donations are so important to me. First of all, once I reach this goal, I will have raised over $700 for the American Lung Association this year (spread out amongst various chapters), and that's nothing to sneeze at. Furthermore, having sponsors adds a legitimacy to the race that I take very seriously. I have to give my all, each and every time, because you all opened your wallets and supported me, and I can't and won't let you down. So thank you for your prior donations and thanks in advance, if you're able to support me this time around.
Two final things:
- I'm not done signing up for races. There's a little race in Oxnard, California, that I'll probably do in early June (but I haven't registered yet), and I'm waiting for the date for this year's San Diego TOWERthon – and keeping my fingers crossed that it won't conflict with my travel plans. Neither of those races require fundraising, but I'll likely share links anyway because they support great causes.
- I've been training in preparation for Detroit, and I think I'm ready. Over the weekend I hit the Culver City Stairs with my friend Kirsty, and climbed those three times. Then, last night, I went to a practice session in the Aon Center and climbed that 51-story stairwell three times. It was slow-going and hard, because I was tired and sore from a good week's worth of workouts, but I did what I set out to do.
Detroit, here I come!
Keep it up, David!

I always cringe when a TV show or a movie has a plot twist where one of the characters is wandering alone somewhere, just a few feet away from help, but she never realizes it and ends up having some sort of a bad thing happen to her.
I feel the same frustration when I hear people say things like "But I can't get organized!" Yes, you can get organized, help is just around the corner! And if you are the DIY type, there is still help available, like these 5 Secrets to Organization:
It is extremely important to set up a filing system and stick with it. Whatever it is you gain from inaction is not worth the anxiety and frustration you are certain to experience down the road. The system does not have to be a certain way – If you prefer to throw all of your receipts into an accordion file instead of neatly placing them in a file folder, that is fine. The important point is that you are able to find the records you need.
1 – Sweep your desk, your office, or your kitchen counter on a regular basis. It doesn't have to be every day, but it does have to be consistent. An unexpected bonus to having a clean work space is increased concentration!
2 – Open your mail daily. Touch it once, act on it, and get it out of your sight. Forever.
3 – I recommend getting a sturdy, cross cut shredder for you to hover over while sorting the mail, so that it is actually physically easier to dispose of the junk.
4 – Adopt the 90-10 rule. As you are sorting, throw away 90% and only keep 10%. If you are unsure of whether or not to keep something, ask yourself:
– Do I need it?
– Is it important, as a memory?
– What are the reasons I'm keeping it?
– Does the next generation really care?
– Will they have the same sentiment attached to it?
5 – Check your credit report once a year. We are entitled to one free credit report from each credit reporting agency, every year. If there are mistakes, it is best to take care of them sooner rather than later.
As they say, "A rolling stone gathers no moss." I don't know who "they" are, but they've got a point. Staying on top of your filing is the only way to avoid miserable nights during tax season. The good news is your file system can be tailored to your personality, and keeping up with it can be effortless.
Judith Heft & Associates has recently added a new team member who specializes in home office organizing. If you've tried everything but just can't figure out what that file system should look like for you, contact us to talk about it!
Judith Heft, Principal, Judith Heft & Associates is a personal financial concierge with offices in Greenwich and Stamford. She can be contacted via email or by phone 203-978-1858

It is always a musician's dream to own a guitar that was played by one of the best guitarists to ever rock the world. Some collectors would spend millions of euros or dollars just to own these memorabilia.
There is nothing really special about these guitars only that they were played by the best of the best.
Jimi Hendrix's Stratocaster – $2 million
If we're talking about guitar legends, you can't leave out the teeth grinding, flame igniting guitar genius Jimi Hendrix. Back in August 1969, Woodstock in the United States, Hendrix rocked the stage with his electrifying guitar solos and on-stage charisma.
His performance was iconic, especially his unforgettable guitar solo rendition of the Star Spangles Banner.
Hendrix up that stage with his red bandana was a memory to stand the test of time. The audience during that event was all well aware that they are in the presence of a music demigod.
The guitar is with Microsoft's co-founder Paul Allen. We're pretty sure Allen won't ever let that guitar out of his hands.
Eric Clapton's 1939 CF Martin & Co. 000-42 – $791,500 (2004)
This acoustic guitar gave fans of the legendary Eric Clapton the best memories of their lives. This guitar can be traced back from World War II as it is one of the first 113 Martin 000-42 to ever be made. Clapton used this guitar during many of his concerts in his music career.
The guitar was sold during an auction to raise money for Clapton's Crossroads charity in 2004. The guitar was sold for $791,500 and just think about how much the guitar is priced today.
The owner lent the 000-42 to different music museums like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum in Cleveland and the Metropolitan of Modern Art Museum in the big apple, New York City.
Bob Marley's Washburn 22 Series Hawk (Custom made) – $2 million
Bob Marley's reggae music is timeless for millions of fans all over the globe. Believe it or not, Marley only had 7 guitars in total when he was still alive and this Washburn is one of them.
This guitar is a national treasure to the country of Jamaica that represents Marley's life and music journey he shared with the world.
John Lennon's 1964 Rose-Morris Rickenbacker – $900,000 (2015)
This guitar is the dream of millions of guitarists out there played by the late John Lennon when he was still with The Beatles. Think about it, who wouldn't want a guitar played by a member of the best rock and roll band of all time?
Do you know who bought the guitar during the auction? None other than Indianapolis Colts' owner and CEO Jim Isray.
Reach Out to Asia Fender Stratocaster – $2.7 million
This guitar wasn't actually played by the legends but it has their signatures. Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, Tony Iommi and Paul McCartney are just some of the names you'll see signed on this guitar. Now you know why it reached its $2.7 million price tag.
This list surely showcases some of the most expensive guitars in the world. We hope you enjoyed learning more about these instruments and their legendary owners.

May 30th is National Recruiter Day.
Update 2019: What an amazing year. We received more than 100 recruiter nominations for our People's Choice Best Recruiter Award and the winner is.... Rebecca Oppenheim from nextOPP Search. Read her advice on what it takes to be a great recruiter below.
Update 2018: National Recruiter Day 2018 was a huge success. We hosted our first ever People's Choice Best Recruiter Award where Tabitha Cavanagh was named the best recruiter of 2018. Read her advice on what it takes to be a great recruiter below.
Can you believe it!? Up until May 2017, there was no National Recruiter Day.
There is a National Popcorn Day, a National Vodka Day, and even a National Custodial Workers Recognition Day.
There are thousands of national holidays but for some reason, no National Recruiter Day.
Well, the moment that every recruiter has been waiting for is here.
National Recruiter Day!
On May 30th, 2017, National Recruiter Day was born via a LinkedIn post that went viral:
What is National Recruiter Day?
National Recruiter Day is the one day of the year when recruiters can take a break.
Recruiting is not easy. There are a lot of negative attitudes towards recruiters.
The least we can do is allow them one single day when we appreciate the good ones out there.
Sadly, as in every profession, there are some bad recruiters out there who have tainted the title 'recruiter'.
National Recruiter Day is a day for everyone to hear about the life-changing impact a good recruiter can have on a job seekers career.
Should Recruiters Take This Day Off?
Yes! Recruiters are underappreciated and underpaid.
Your company can afford to give you one single day off to show their appreciation for the hard work you put in every day.
Let your manager know, if he/she appreciates you, they will read this article and give you the day off.
How to Show Appreciation to Recruiters
Since National Recruiter Day was born on LinkedIn, it is only appropriate to show appreciation to your favorite recruiter on LinkedIn.
On May 30th, write a post on LinkedIn sharing your story about an amazing experience you have had with a recruiter.
If possible, tag that recruiter in your post and #NationalRecruiterDay.
Not only are you going to make that recruiters day, but you are also going to be a part of something huge!
Good recruiters are hard to come by, the ones who go above and beyond deserve a little recognition.
People's Choice Best Recruiter Awards
Best Recruiter 2019 - Rebecca Oppenheim
Rebecca Oppenheim was voted by LinkedIn members as the #1 recruiter in 2019.
We asked Rebecca how it felt to be the winner and what advice she has for other recruiters. She responded:
I am humbled to be chosen for this year's People's Choice Best Recruiter! And thank you Mike for personally nominating me. It means a lot, especially since my company, nextOPP Search, helped you fill a leadership role earlier this year. There were a lot of incredible recruiters mentioned in the comments - people I am lucky to continually learn from. This is really for all of us.
As far as my advice to new recruiters - find mentors. Recruiting is a roller coaster filled with daily wins and losses, but you aren't alone. There are so many successful ones before you who love paying it forward - sharing best practices and lending advice when you are in a rut. I'm lucky to have found my now co-founder, Gail Buck, when I first started recruiting. She's helped me accelerate my recruiting career and I'm forever grateful. But it doesn't have to be someone within your company, or even your city. We constantly tell candidates to network - we should do it as well!
Best Recruiter 2018 - Tabitha Cavanagh
Tabitha Cavanagh was voted by LinkedIn members as the #1 recruiter for 2018.
We asked Tabitha how it felt to be the winner and what advice she has for other recruiters. She responded:
I am extremely grateful and humbled to have been chosen as this year's People's Choice Best Recruiter! There are so many wonderful & deserving recruiters out there, some who were named and many who were not. To share the recruiter spotlight among these elite professionals is a true honor.
My advice to new recruiters: Always begin with your WHY. That will drive you when the going gets tough. This business revolves around consistently and passionately elevating others. Be their advocate. Build authentic relationships and, at the end of the day, simply care about people. Ezra 10:4
National Recruiter Day Fun Facts
- National Recruiter Day began May 30th, 2017 on LinkedIn.
- It is a felony to say anything negative about a recruiter on National Recruiter Day (according to this author's own legal system).
- National Recruiter Day is recognized in over 15 countries including the USA, India, Brazil, UK, Canada, France, Italy and Mexico.
- National Recruiter Day is awesome and worthy of a day off (for recruiters only).
- Recruiters are 'thanked' 10x more on National Recruiter Day than any other day of the year.

If they do this, it will spark one of the largest legal battles between the states and Fed in decades. Sessions is a pseudo-Christian lost in a 1950s time warp. It would be like trying to re-institute prohibition in 1940. They ignore the science behind the many benefits of marijuana while relying on myth and ignorance.
What they need to do is deal with the opioid epidemic supplied by big Pharma right here in the good ol USA. Ironically, where marijuana was legalized around the world, opioid and other dangerous drug use declined.
The GOP is all about small government and states' rights until something like this just pisses off little Jeffy Sessions. The truth is that the DOJ is removing restraints from local prosecutors to go after sellers of weed. No one in CA, or any other state will be wasting time on that.

Having their own sound could be considered an understatement when describing this indie-pop band consisting of three females on the front-line and a guy on drums that play with an incandescent energy that could light up every streetlamp in all five boroughs. These creative songs burst out of the starting gates with a brisk pop and then dash down the straightaways before turning some unexpected corners with lyrical dexterity and finesse to some never explored cool parts of town—illuminated by ambitious and actualized idealism. Hard to describe, but very easy to like this band that remembers the concept of playing and living up to potential!

Today, I was in my little office. Some admin was done, a bit of cleaning, and then meeting a student to chat about Stuff.
One of the questions that was asked – and which is often asked of me – is what a Druid Priest actually does. And every time, I have to pause and think.
There wasn't a moment when I suddenly looked around and realized 'Wow, I'm a Priest!' Rather, it was a process of doing the work and being called by that title, until I had to face up to the fact that I was Doing It.
I've written about it before in other places, and no doubt will do so again. But today, it got me thinking in a new way.
Yes, Priest-ing is looking after, guiding or otherwise holding space for folk. When working, I do that.
But as time has passed, and my health has created interesting new speed-bumps to life, I'm having to Priest to myself as well.
I'm very easily tired. I give my all, and it wears me out. I'm not going to stop doing that, by the way, so don't ask! I willingly do what's needed, saving some energy to get myself safely home, and then setting aside time to rest. But it's the question of how best to recharge that's been in my mind lately.
Doing things that I enjoy helps, certainly. Sometimes, distractions that make me laugh, such as comedy movies or television. Knitting, with its repetitive but focused creativity. Books – absolutely. If the right one can be found, total engagement as I let myself sink into that particular world for a while.
But I think more is needed now, otherwise I'm finding myself wiped out for longer each time. So perhaps ritualised 'wind-down' is needed more than ever – something I've tried before, but found difficult to get into the habit of.
I'll no doubt explore this and natter about it as I move forward. But for today, the inspiration from another led me back to myself. Unusual, but needed, I think.
Holding the space to stop doing, and simply ponder…

The K-Works Empowered power cord is a very worthwhile upgrade. Just plug it into any of your components and you will immediately hear the difference. And it keeps getting better as it breaks in! We guarantee you will hear the difference and LIKE it! The Power Cord 1. Must pass steady state current adequate to the task or better, from and audiophile-overkill view, without pushing the limits of the current handling of the gauge involved. This means 14 gauge for all but the very largest amplifiers. Even 16 gauge for line level equipment is actually adequate for this, but it also: 2. Must not compress large instantaneous peak currents for any reason, either inductively (due to either the construction/layout of the conductors or inductors) or resistively (due usually to gauge). 3. Must keep the power supplied by a power filter device clean between that device and equipment the cord is powering. This means that: 4. The cord needs to be shielded from RF (Radio Frequency) interference, and a means of sinking,shorting or otherwise disposing of that energy is necessary. 5. If there is no power filtering ahead of the power cord, then it must have some capability to filter incoming power itself in order to provide the cleanest power possible in every circumstance. 6. It should be flexible, of reasonable thickness, and reasonable to use. This is not just a matter of practical ergonomics. A stiff fire hose of a cord will bridge vibration noise past isolation bases and other quieting devices placed under equipment, rendering them less effective, if not pretty much ineffective in the worst cases.
There are, typically, miles and miles of power wires between you and the power stations. By the time the power reaches you in our electricity-and electronics-dependent world the power is thoroughly polluted with noise from thousands, if not millions, of devices with motors, switches, and other devices or circuits which put every manner of electrical noise back into the lines that power them. Our atmosphere is polluted nowadays with an amazing variety of radio frequency/microwave noises (RF), and the power distribution net is, in effect, millions of miles of antenna that picks up this pollution, too. You canít hear these frequencies directly, but they do affect your electronic equipment negatively, and the results are usually audible in their effects on the noise floor of every piece of gear you have. Electrical and RF noise also have more direct negative effects upon your digital equipment. Even your digital equipment itself can affect other equipment in your own system negatively, as most digital equipment is known to put some high frequency noise back into the power line. This noise needs to be filtered out for best sonic results, and the cleaned power needs to be delivered clean, without picking up new noise on the way to the equipment it serves. Power filters are an audiophile necessity nowadays, but they cannot deliver that power in perfect condition if the cord picks up fresh noise along the way to the equipment, as is the case with most power cords. The Empowered Cords are built from flexible, user friendly 14 gauge wire. The cord starts with a high quality (wall) plug with enough room to include three small capacitors inside, a metalized-film type, and two Vishay HV ceramics . The reason for good plugs is obvious. They are needed to make a good, solid, dependable connections. Beyond that, there is a limit to what an exotic diminishing returns plug can do after miles of wire and a large number of non-audiophile grade wire junctions along the way. These plugs were chosen for their sonic performance/value rather than hyped glamour and every one is hand-polished and treated (both inside and out) with contact preservative. The capacitors filter the incoming power without any transient suppressive losses, right at the plug. They also stop equipment originated digital noise from going the other way and reaching your other equipment. Then, the cord is shielded with a mildly conductive but non-transient suppressive Mylar-content braided cover that provides a ìpath of least resistanceî to the RF. The attractive cover is not conductive to the touch, and is connected to the plugís ground with a ground drain in order to ìsinkî the noise the shielding cover stops. At the other end, the shielding cover ends a few inches short of the IEC plug to guarantee that RF cannot jump the gap to the equipment. This also spaces the Ferrite away far enough from the equally carefully chosen and contact surface treated IEC connector to allow the cord to bend easily at the back of the equipment in order to avoid a wall or cabinet back. Included inside the IEC is a new hi-tech RF absorptive paper, ERS, to further strip away noise. A special low frequency-capable Ferrite caps the end of the shielding cover to stop any RF from passing that way. There are many types of Ferrite formulations, and the ones most commonly seen are meant to operate at much higher frequencies than are optimal for audio. The result of the construction of the Empowered Cords is a flexible, easy to use power cord which cleans up the power it carries and keeps it clean and RF free. While it is not a substitute for serious megabuck power filtration, it will deliver an audibly cleaner noise floor, with the attendant improvement in dynamics this gives, and a cleaner, crisper soundstage and depth. The user-friendly flexibility avoids the problem of ìbridgingî or carrying vibration into equipment, which stiff cords will do, right past any isolation devices under the equipment. Empowered Cords impart a sense of cleaner effortlessness to all equipment and just powering a piece of digital equipment with one automatically puts a measure of noise isolation between it and the rest of your equipment as the filtration works in both directions.

That Ye May Teach the Children
reviewed by Robert Nguyen Cramer
|Bottom of Page
That Ye May Teach the Children - A Bible Outline with Questions for Parents and Teachers, by Joan Koelle Snipes, illustrated by Kristin Joy Pratt Serafini (Shepherdstown, WV, USA: Bible Teaching Press, 2001 - 304-876-1332, email@example.com). This 250-page workbook not only is a good Sunday School teachers' guide for teaching the Bible, but it also is a very useful means for adults to explore the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
Except for the introductory material, the book itself is comprised almost entirely of questions. In most cases the answers are found by looking up the Bible references or other resources' references within parentheses immediately following the questions. Some of the answers refer to biblical resources that are older, out of print, and/or may not be in most people's bookshelves, but other reliable resources certainly can be used to explore the answers. (For some guidance in selecting high quality resources that currently are in print, you can browse BibleTexts.com's "Recommended Bible Study Books & Resources" at http://www.bibletexts.com/reviews.)
That Ye May Teach the Children asks many of the questions that students should be asked in order for them to have a well-rounded grasp of the Bible. The bibliography could be stronger, the Apocrypha and intertestamental period is not touched, and many controversial issues are not addressed in the questions; however, Snipes' overall work does reflect current conclusions of most reputable scholars' regarding the authorship of the letters attributed to Paul.
BibleTexts.com recommends That Ye May Teach the Children as a very helpful preparatory tool for Sunday School teachers.

Hope Springs
In Hope Springs, Meryl Streep stars in the tale of one woman's last-ditch attempt to flog some life into the dead horse that is her marriage. Her husband is Tommy Lee Jones, effectively playing himself. Steve Carell gets the thankless role of the marriage counsellor who guides them though the wreckage of their relationship and back into the bedroom. Streep is fluttery and sweet as Kay, Jones is a parsimonious grouch as Arnold. And, while it is refreshingly unusual to see a film that deals with the sex lives of older couples, it's not a lot of fun to watch. The extended therapy sessions are simply tedious; the bedroom nitty-gritty is horribly awkward. David Frankell, 12A (100min)

Broadly, my research interests lie at the intersection of social, personality, and health psychology. My current lines of inquiry focus on behavior change and relationship processes that impact people's physical and psychological well-being. Listed below are research questions that I am currently investigating:
What processes govern the initiation and maintenance of health behavior change? How do individual differences in self-regulation and other aspects of personality relate to health behavior change? How can maintenance be improved?
How do relationship processes affect well-being and health behaviors? Does it matter if relationship partners agree or disagree regarding important attitudes and values? How do power and influence dynamics relate to well-being?

Winter barley: Disease risk as temperatures increase
The rise in temperatures this week will create disease pressure on crops. Rhynchosporium (rhyncho) has been seen in some winter barley crops already.
Depending on the part of the country you're in, crops may be more forward than others and pressure may be greater.
Taking these factors and variety choice into account, farmers may try and push out the first spray timing. However, prevention is always better than cure, so don't wait until rhyncho is rampant across fields to spray.
However, where disease pressure is low and the T1 is applied late, a two-spray programme may be implemented in some areas. The number of sprays applied will also depend on how quickly crops will grow as temperatures increase.
Two-spray programmes are impractical in high disease pressure areas, particularly in the south of the country.
Farmers should be keeping an eye on disease levels and, where disease is present on winter barley, a T1 spray should be applied as soon as possible.
T1 options
T1 options should include prothioconazole and a strob. Where net blotch is a threat, a strob should be added. Mildewcide should be applied where the disease can be seen.
Some farmers may opt for an SDHI and a triazole at this timing. SDHI products are a good option for crops which will not receive a T1 spray immediately or may not receive it until towards the end of the month.
Know your variety
It is important to know your variety. Look out for the diseases that varieties are most prone to. For example, KWS Cassia has a low resistance to rhyncho and KWS Tower has a low resistance to net blotch.

Steamboat, Hayden to discuss laxer rules for pot shops
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Marijuana is on the agenda for two city council meetings in Routt County on Tuesday, May 7, which could bring more retail pot shops to the area.
Steamboat Springs City Council is set to vote on two ordinances, the first of which would change land use regulations to allow dispensaries in more parts of town. The second proposes changes to how the city hands out marijuana licenses for shops and could allow for an unlimited number of licenses.
The first ordinance, as proposed, would allow marijuana stores to open under a limited use, rather than a conditional use. A limited-use system permits a dispensary to open as long as it obeys the zoning requirements, such as maintaining a buffer zone around schools and parks.
It also allows dispensaries to set up shop in commercial zones around town as well as near Steamboat Resort. Stores could open in the Old Town district, but the ordinance prohibits them along Lincoln Avenue.
Support Local Journalism
Council members sought direction from the city's Planning Commission on establishing buffer zones for dispensaries around schools and parks, as well as a clustering prohibition to keep pot shops a certain distance apart. The Planning Commission and City Council had differing stances on these matters, which will have to be smoothed out Tuesday.
The second ordinance, as written, proposes opening the marijuana license application process to an unlimited number of applicants but establishes a merit-based system to vet the number of recipients. Council members modeled the system after other towns in Colorado, like Longmont, which recently selected four dispensaries out of a pool of 13 applicants, according to city documents.
The application would require aspiring dispensary owners to submit a business plan, a detailed security plan, a community outreach plan and an odor management plan. It also lists nine additional criteria — such as the applicant's experience operating a dispensary in Colorado and the shop's impact on the surrounding neighborhood — city officials may use to approve or deny a license.
The ordinance would also decrease the vertical integration requirement, which says dispensaries need to grow a certain portion of the store's cannabis themselves. As written, each store would need to produce half of its own products, a drop from the current requirement of 70%. It further specifies businesses must manufacture those products within Routt County.
What: Steamboat Springs City Council meeting
When: 5 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Citizens' Meeting Room in Centennial Hall, 124 10th St.
Those who cannot attend the meeting can contact City Council or watch a live video stream of the meeting by visiting the city's website, steamboatsprings.net.
To view previous meetings about fire funding and the fire station site selection, visit http://co-steamboatsprings.civicplus.com/653/Key-Sessions-Topics.
What: Hayden Special Town Council meeting
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Hayden Town Hall, 178 West Jefferson Ave.
These changes are not set in stone. As a form sent by the city attorney's office points out, council members could nix the vertical integration requirement entirely.
"This is certainly an option for City Council, though it would likely lead to a large number of new applicants," according to the form.
City Council's proposed amendments:
- Treat marijuana stores as a conditional use, allowing them in areas near the Steamboat Resort base area and some downtown zone districts. Dispensaries would be allowed on numbered side streets, Yampa and Oak in downtown.
- Reduce the allowed area between dispensaries, schools and parks from 1,000 to 500 feet. This distance would be measured using a route of direct pedestrian access.
- Limit marijuana stores from being located within 1,500 feet of one another.
- Allow dispensaries in lots adjacent to areas zoned for residential properties.
Planning Commission's recommendations:
- Treat marijuana stores as a limited use, allowing them to open in areas near the Steamboat Resort base area and some downtown zone districts as long as they meet buffering requirements.
- Reduce the allowed area between dispensaries, schools and parks from 1,000 to 500 feet. This distance would be measured using a radius between the two locations.
- Allow marijuana stores to open less than 1,500 feet from each other.
- Allow dispensaries in lots adjacent to areas zoned for residential properties.
Just 20 miles down the highway, Hayden Town Council will discuss a request to open a retail marijuana store near the Yampa Valley Regional Airport. This comes after town officials placed a ban on the manufacturing cultivation and retail selling of marijuana in 2013.
If town council members decide not to move forward with the request, other Hayden officials want to bring the matter to the public, according to a document included in the meeting's agenda packet.

Grinding Gear Games, the minds behind Path of Exile, announced today that Tencent had acquired a majority stake in the company, 80% to be exact. To put it simply, they own the company now.
Chris Wilson, CEO of GGG, took to Reddit to post a brief FAQ to assure players that this is not at all a nightmare scenario, and that Tencent will be hands off of game development.
Tencent, after all, has a hand in League of Legends, as well as Activision (Blizzard), and those companies seem to be doing fine, but only time will tell if that's the case of Path of Exile as well. Chris Wilson also throws in that 4.0.0 is planned to go into closed beta in 2020.
