MEXICO -- The Oswego County Sheriff's Office says a 15-year-old boy, from the Town of Mexico, was charged with juvenile delinquency last Friday for two incidents.
The suspect was accused in October of forcibly touching a female under the age of 15 while traveling in a vehicle in the Town of Hastings.
The suspect was accused in October and November, for subjecting a different female under the age of 15 to numerous acts of forcible touching.
In both instances, he was charged with juvenile delinquency for acts, which if committed by an adult, would have constituted the crimes of felony sex abuse and misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child.
The suspect was referred to the Oswego County Probation Department for further processing.

A young team in the UK has come up with a neat way of creating a social application to help people keep their promises - for instance, keeping up-to-date with their coursework.
Without getting into the details of what they're up to, they believe that small, pre-agreed cash fines are the right 'stick,' and research has suggested that this has to be instant. Their users are willing to volunteer to be fined, but experiments where they've simply been told what they 'owe' haven't worked.
The obvious solution is some kind of mobile payment.
Their website already captures email addresses and mobile numbers, and they are using text messages and email to track progress and report problems (e.g. if I see you out when you said you were working, I can report you and you'll get a text).
To be clear, they don't have, and aren't planning, a mobile app. The solutions they've come up with so far seem pretty good, but they have (for them) high monthly charges. They need the lowest possible recurring cost, even if this means a high per-transaction fee.
The solution needs to work in the UK, and allow pre-pay mobile users to pay a small fee (<£5) - either simply as a fine or as a payment for some virtual goods such as an image, an audio or video file. It has to be possible to trigger this with nothing but a mobile phone number, leading to a simple automated process that could include an exchange of text messages. For instance,
- The payment could be triggered by replying to the message
- Or by clicking a link in the message (without depending on smartphone quality browsing)
- Or the initial service set-up could include some kind of opt-in, so that 'fines' would be fully automated
The team aren't concerned to make money - they consider themselves a 'social enterprise' helping people to help themselves. But they will need at least to cover external costs for a payment service, even at low initial usage volumes.

A lifelong small-scale speed-mobile builder and driver, Rapid Raceway co-owner Rick "Rapid" Raducha initiates aspiring 1:24-scale motorists into the ways of the controller with two massive slot-car courses. Racers can challenge the grooves of the 145-foot Grandstand track, where they'll command their electrified speedsters through its tricky S-curves before flooring it on two 13-foot straightaways. Fast fingers can also test their abilities on The Whip, which features two 34-degree banked turns and more than 88 feet of raceway that'll leave drivers little time to break for necessary pit stops or unnecessary blueberry-scone runs. This Groupon provides a rental car and remote so casual competitors don't have to propel cars with mind control, but slot-car gurus are welcome to bring their own models.
A New World unfurls its ultramodern laser tag arena across 7,000 square feet of murky terrain and tactical refuges. Atmospheric tunes fill the air as combatants volley their laser bolts across the arena's cavernous corridors and black-lit fluorescence, cautiously traversing an ominous, all-encompassing mist purloined from London's native fog factories. Photon-firers can rack up extra points by training their laser on the opposing team's blinking bases, then duck behind temporary shields and widespread laser sprays when cornered by encroaching competitors. Blasters aged 3 and up can be fitted with the game's featherweight vests, and a cozy lobby ensconces loungers amid reclining couches and an on-site arcade alight with 30 diverse games, air hockey, and a pool table.
High Rollers is a state-of-the-art bowling, dining and entertainment destination located in the heart of Foxwoods Resort Casino. The 35,000 square foot venue features 20 bowing lanes, billiards, 60 high def TVs, video games, innovative cuisine and creative cocktails.
Despite its sprawling floor plan measuring 3,000 square feet, Jumpin' Jeepers still offers unfettered sightlines for parents to keep track of youngsters as they whiz down slides or hoist themselves up the facility's two-story mesh and plastic play structure. Youths develop social skills as they play together, donning whimsical dress-up clothes or crawling through the play structure's maze-like tunnels. Tinier tots can bound about in age-specific areas stocked with scaled-down apparatuses. And guardians relax at the onsite café, which boasts organic snacks and obviously inorganic WiFi.
Stretched in front of a black-lit backdrop of the New York City skyline, the neon-speckled bowling lanes at Spins Bowl entertain guests with bowling bouts inside the expansive Grand Prix New York facility. Brightly colored bowling balls barrel down the center's 19 lanes and explode against pin formations, which echo into the lounge's plush seating area. Bowlers compare scores on their lanes' large LCD projection screens while cheering strikes over beverages and American-style dishes from Fuel, the onsite restaurant and bar. In addition to its 12 public lanes, the bowling alley hosts private events, children's birthday parties, and hamster-ball crash tests on seven VIP lanes.
World-renowned fighter Tiger Schulmann and his staff of certified instructors motivate jabs from knees, legs, and feet during calorie-blasting kickboxing classes. Schulmann crafted his style with techniques from mixed martial arts and street self-defense, concocting each kick to improve students' strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and the ability to fight back against vigilante soccer teams. The studio's martial-arts mavens also help novice kickers craft a customized diet plan during a nutrition consultation, and more modestly clothe naked fists in a pair of complimentary training gloves. Once students master beginning moves, they can advance to other martial-arts challenges, such as high-kicking their way out of a room made of Jello.
In the middle of the floor, surrounded by 150 blinking and dinging arcade games, a 24-foot rock-climbing wall stretches to the ceiling. That's how jam-packed Sportime USA is with attractions. As if all those games weren't enough, there's the XD theater—a 4-D virtual ride that combines 3-D movies with specialized motion seats. Neon-lit laser tag continues the tech trend, and bumper cars and roller coasters provide old-fashioned fun. Batting cages, billiards, and a multilevel playground are only a few of the other attractions ready to entertain families and friends of all ages.

Pete Hines: Bethesda's "mature" Wii game is Wheelspin
Remember when, back in May, Bethesda Europe managing director Sean Brennan lamented about the Wii's dry-as-a-desert pool of "mature" games? Well, for those who don't, he also teased the "really big" announcement of a mature Wii game from Bethesda.
VG247 asked Bethesda VP Pete Hines for clarification concerning that title, and here's what he told us:
"[Sean] was referring to the Wheelspin Wii game Bethesda is publishing in Europe (only) and that is being shown in our booth at GamesCom this week."
Wheelspin is — if the title didn't give it away — a racing game. Its goal, in addition to going really, really fast, is to "push the hardware further than any other Wii racing game to date."
It's out this autumn, if you're interested.

Cage: Heavy Rain's "not really a videogame anymore"
Are you drunk on David Cage yet? Of course not! You need one more shot of his strongest words, and we're here to provide that for you.
Speaking at GamesCom, Cage told VG247 that Heavy Rain's gone beyond the limits of what you'd typically call a "videogame."
"[It's] something that is not really a videogame anymore. It's fully interactive; I'm not talking about that. But in the matter of format, objectives, and the way it works, it's not really a videogame anymore," he said.
"So all the rules that have been defined by this industry to promote games, like trade shows and demos, you have to ask yourself if it's really the type of thing worth doing."
Well, that's enough Cage for us. We're off to lose our last three day's worth of lunches behind a dumpster now. But we're lightweights. You, though — you want more. We can see the look in your eyes, the fire. Go read the rest of the interview. Do what we couldn't.

David Cage: The PS3 is a "truly fantastic" machine
During an interview with VG247 at GamesCom, the main brain behind Heavy Rain, David Cage, spoke of his admiration for Sony's PS3.
"It's incredible — all the things you can do with it. I mean, you can have a video conference. It's a media center. It connects to your PC and allows you to use your movies and your songs. It's just insane. I'm not sure when people compare consoles, they compare the same things. It's a Blu-Ray player. It does so many things. It's truly a fantastic machine," he exclaimed.
"And I'm not saying that just because [an SCEE guy] is behind me," he added. "Honestly, I really think it."
Obviously, then, it's not much of a stretch to say that Cage is excited about the recent PS3 price drop. He told us that it' "is really the right price now."

LittleBigPlanet GOTY Edition a no-go for Europe
Yesterday, Sony let the cat out of the sack concerning a Game of the Year edition of LittleBigPlanet, topped off with such bonuses as 18 new levels and a ModNation Racers beta code. One problem, though: the announcement only mentioned a North American release for the game.
We asked Sony about this glaring omission, and — unfortunately — were told that Europe's just going to have to make do with the plain jane version of LBP, as there are "no plans" for a European GOTY edition.
"Unfortunately there are no plans currently to release a LBP GOTY edition," Sony UK's Laura Bentham told VG247.
Cue that totally heartbreaking Sackboy cry-face. You know the one.

Sergio is KGBT's Interactive Manager and a reporter for VALLEYCENTRAL.COM.
People from all over South Texas are flocking to a former gas station in Kinsgville to get a glimpse of a unique ground mural of the Virgen de Guadalupe.
Located off East Lee Avenue and North 6 Street, some vistors say the mural is responsible for miracles in their lives.
Texas A&M Kingsville Art Professor Santa Barraza said she and her students teamed up with local artist Daniel Cuellar to bring the mural to life.
The project was recently blessed by a Catholic priest and officially dedicated.
Many people from Kingsville, the Coastal Bend and South Texas have all paid a visit.
"People have come because they feel an affilation with the Virgen de Guadalupe," Barraza said.
Many visitors have shared their stories with Barraza.
One visitor from Ricardo told Barraza that her son had taken his life and that she had lost her faith but it was restored after seeing the mural.
Another girl told Barraza that she saw the mural prayed for her mother who was in jail.
The woman was released from jail the next morning and came with her daughters to help work on the mural.
Elba Rosa De Lopez said her son was one of those helping the the project.
While her son was helping work on the project, Elba prayed for her daughter in Minneapolis, who was sick and also needed And need help resovling a legal problem.
Both problems were fixed, so Elba decided to leave roses at the mural as a form of thanks.
"It was the Virgen de Guadalupe," the Kingsville woman said in Spanish.
But Barraza said that the mural is more than just a power religous symbol.
"I use the Virgen de Guadalupe in my work but i use it mostly as an empowerment symbol, mainly for women... to empoower women," Barraz said.
Barraza said the next step is to apply a sealent and make the mural permanent and protect from the elements.

Joining us -- KT McFarland former deputy assistant secretary of defense.
Thank you so much for joining us this has exploded again.
Yeah and it's gonna continue to get bad now why.
Morrissey the Muslim Brotherhood is the new dictator and what we've got an eighteen months as we got rid of another dictator Mubarak eighteen months ago.
A pro American dictator dictator -- great but for Americans -- And now what we have in this place a new dictator.
And he's not pro American he's anti American anti Israeli -- part of the Muslim Brotherhood which is the movement has carried on throughout the Middle East Hamas.
As a Muslim Brotherhood madrassas or -- have -- governed by the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a dictatorial way you're seeing instability political instability in short my my guess is -- the next ones.
To fall and -- you've got an entire Middle East which eighteen months ago.
With stable and pro American and today is unstable.
Anti American and it's only going to get worse 88208.
Can really describe it pro American -- -- just had a peace agreement with Israel.
That's for forty years which is kept the peace.
Mubarak was an ally of the United States or maybe an accurate to some people but an ally of the United States.
Qaddafi not a good -- there was some people but was cooperating with us on the war on terror.
I do think that you're seeing these are these changes were gonna happen and why all the ingredients are there eighteen months ago it's caused people to go -- into the streets are still there.
More so.
75% of the population of all of these Arab countries is under the age of thirty.
They don't have jobs they don't have any prospects for jobs they toppled their dictators eighteen months ago thinking things are gonna get better things haven't.
Things have gotten worse and so their their back on the streets.
Is -- possible that we that we misinterpreted or look through rose colored glasses at what the uprising was all about I mean what -- eight.
Pro democracy you know Arab Spring people fighting for their rights and and you know against oppressive governments when really it was more.
More about religion nor -- do we misinterpret what.
-- much about religion as it was about economic prospects if you look at the history of the world when -- revolutions happen when you have a very large boom population.
If it was that it was the Chinese revolution.
It was the American revolution the French revolution the revolution in Iran even revolution in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
When you have a large population bubble like that.
That's our answer -- population and when you add to it.
Economic disaster end and very few.
Good prospects down the road he of people taking to the streets and that's what you've had a that's what you will continue to have the economy -- -- -- hasn't gotten any better as kind of a lot worse.
Read I was gonna -- and unfortunately once federal drops and you need a forced to come in.
And set them on the right track to top prosperity that are not what is happening we just replaced with another dictator -- to be well but either -- if I'm Barbara problem is that -- let's say their three sanction others.
An exit aid for an investor coming to each of -- hasn't come in the last eighteen months because of the political stability wealthy egyptians they're leaving they're getting their money out.
And so you don't have that -- every institution.
Business opportunities and prospects and so people are back out in the streets and and the problem too is that Egypt is our country if they don't get a billion and a half dollars a month.

The Lord of the Rings
In THE LORD OF THE RINGS, the world that Tolkien has created is rich and real, complete with civilizations of men, orcs, trolls, dwarfs, elves, and hobbits, all fully imagined, with customs, traditions, and languages of their own. Full of quiet humor and high moral seriousness, the trilogy appeals equally to young and old, to aficionados of fantasy and serious students of literature.
In Part 1, THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, the hobbit Frodo, his servant Sam, and his companions Merry and Pippin set out on the first stage of the quest to destroy the ring. They are joined by the wizard Gandalf and a mysterious man called Strider, later revealed as Aragorn, King of Gondor; these two are the most formidable of the heroes leagued against Sauron. Along the way they are hounded by the Black Riders, Sauron's agents, and the party splits up.
Part 2, THE TWO TOWERS, tells of the opening of the War of the Rings, in which the forces of Gondor defeat Saruman, the traitor wizard and minion of Sauron. It goes on to recount the journey of Frodo and Sam into Mordor, Sauron's black and blighted kingdom.
Part 3, THE RETURN OF THE KING, recounts the defeat of Sauron and the triumph of Aragorn, made possible by the fulfillment of Frodo's quest. THE LORD OF THE RINGS, which can be enjoyed both as an adventure story and as a profound exploration of the nature of good and evil, is a deeply rewarding work that invites rereading.

Some see 2013 shaping up as 2012 all over again -- at least on the issue of health care.
The dispute over President Barack Obama's signature health reform law, which he signed three years ago on Saturday, is back on. Democrats say the law will expand access to health care and rein in the rising costs of healthcare. Republicans say the law is bad news for the health care system and the economy.
Obama was flying home on Saturday from his trip to Israel and Jordan, but noted the anniversary with a statement saying the law reflected "the principle that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one should go broke just because they get sick."
"Already, millions of seniors are saving $600 a year on their prescription drugs," he said, touting what he described as the law's successes. "Millions of young people have been able to stay on their family's health plan until age 26. Preventive care, like mammograms for women and wellness visits for seniors, is covered free of charge. Most importantly, for the sake of our fiscal future, the growth of health care costs is beginning to slow."
Republican opposition
But Republicans don't see successes. House Speaker John Boehner said Saturday Democrats passed the law with a "host of promises that are proving more empty by the day."
"Instead of keeping the coverage they have, an estimated 7 million Americans are at risk of losing their health insurance, including millions of low-income and minority seniors enrolled in Medicare Advantage," Boehner said.
"Far from 'bending the cost curve,' Obamacare's projected price tag has nearly doubled. Health insurance premiums have spiked and are expected to climb even further when the law takes full effect next year. The millions of jobs Democrats promised are nowhere to be found, and businesses large and small are already pointing to the impact of Obamacare as the reason for 'planned layoffs and a reluctance to hire more staff,'" he said.
Both chambers held votes this week on a repeal of the law.
Senate Republicans united behind an amendment to the Senate budget resolution which would repeal the health reform law. It failed in the Democratic-held body 55-45 while the overall budget proposal passed early Saturday morning.
The left-leaning group Center for American Progress says Senate Republicans proposed at least seven amendments to that resolution to either partially or fully roll back the law.
The main amendment for repeal was proposed by Sen. Ted Cruz, a freshman Republican from Texas. He told CNN on Friday that if it goes into effect "it could very well cause a recession."
"I intend to keep trying to repeal Obamacare and to fight for pro-growth policies every single day," he said. "The economy is not growing, and implementing Obamacare now raises a real possibility that we will push this economy into a recession."
The fight to repeal the law has fared better in the Republican-controlled House. Budget Chairman Paul Ryan included a repeal in his budget that passed the GOP-controlled body on Tuesday.
But that's where the progress stops. Even if the Senate were to do the unlikely and pass a repeal of Obamacare, the president would veto it. It appears unlikely that Republicans could muster the two-thirds majority in both chambers needed to overturn a presidential veto.
"The House Republicans have voted more than 30 times to repeal Obamacare," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters last week. "That seems at some point to be time not well spent."
Law was challenged in 2012
The Supreme Court heard challenges to the law last year and upheld it by a 5-4 vote. The high court found constitutional the law's key individual mandate provision, which requires most Americans to obtain health insurance or face a tax penalty.
The four conservative-leaning justices who dissented argued the majority -- the four liberal-leaning justices and Chief Justice John Roberts, who was appointed by President George W. Bush -- was rewriting the law to consider the individual mandate a tax.
That decision also paved the way for the full law to take effect next year.
It also came amid the 2012 election year politics, as the two parties were wrangling for control over the White House and Capitol Hill.
Obamacare, Romneycare and Obamaneycare
The health care law was heavily debated on the campaign trail between Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who drew cheers at his campaign rallies with the promise to repeal the law. Ryan was then his vice presidential candidate and also pledged to abolish Obamacare.
The term Obamacare itself was initially seen as a derogatory term. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida, protested Republican use of the word on the House floor in 2011, saying, "It [is] a violation of the House rule wherein members are not permitted to make disparaging references to the president of the United States."
But the president eventually embraced the term, saying on the campaign trail that yes, as the moniker implied, he did care, and that was why he proposed the health law.

Shaun White is a global snowboarding icon who has been a member of the Oakley family for over a decade.
At the age of seven Shaun entered and won his first amateur snowboard contest. At 13 he turned pro. At 15 he captured his first major pro win at the Oakley Arctic Challenge and less than a year later he earned his first Winter X Games medals: Gold in both the Halfpipe and Slopestyle events. Today, Shaun holds a record-breaking 14 Winter X Games gold medals, two Winter Olympic Halfpipe gold medals, and a slew of other honors and accolades from contests and organizations around the globe.
Shaun takes a creative approach to everything he does. Off the slopes, in collaboration with Oakley, he released Oakley's first ever Signature Series Snow Goggle (four versions since) and will soon release his second Signature Series Collection. Shaun was also the first athlete to co-design an Oakley sunglass, which he named "Montefrio," after the street he grew up on in San Diego, California. Since then, Shaun's collection has grown to include the lifestyle glass, HOLBROOK®, a limited run collector's edition of Oakley's timeless FROGSKINS®, and a new Signature glass, the JUPITER® LX.
"True relationships stick around. With Oakley, I feel like I'm part of the family," says Shaun. "Oakley products have always given me a competitive edge, and these guys have always been there for me, right down to little things like being at the top of the pipe ready to pass me a new lens when conditions change. It's a good feeling knowing you're riding in product you can trust."

Anh, Ali, you are welcome. Wandering, Tweety, Crazee, I wish that is the case. During LOCH, I had to wait for the other translators, hence I finished everything and posted daily update. That was fun, I don't have to worry about not meeting the deadline ... my own deadline, that is ... For many years I spent my lunch time playing card games on the computer (solitaire, freecell, hearts, and the like), now I spend my spare time working on my hobby: wuxia translation. But, as I offered you before, I can always finish one chapter and post it in one go if you like.
9dragons, as I said, I am not Chinese literate, I rely heavily on dictionary, and those were the words I got from it; 斧头 and 菜油. If you think the dictionary is inaccurate, please kindly let me know, I'll report it to them. However, not that I am trying to dampen your spirit, I simply translate what Jin Yong has written. Even if he made mistake, I would still translate it as is. IMHO, we are reading a fiction, not a scientific article. Smurf, Grundle, your discussion is very interesting.
Merry Christmas y'all, and God bless us, everyone! I am not going anywhere this Christmas, hopefully I can get some more before the year is over.
Chen Jinnan rushed forward to hold him up again, they saw Guan Anjis eyes were wide open, but he had already met a violent death. His body was still warm though, apparently he had not died long. The people were shocked and grieved. Feng Jizhong, Priest Xuanzhen, and the others jumped outside, but did not see any trace of the enemy.
Chen Jinnan untied Guan Anjis robe, and saw a blood red hand print on his chest. Feng Xifan! he said in choked voice.
Priest Xuanzhen angrily said, It is definitely Feng Xifan! This red sand palm is his Kunlun Pais unique martial art skill. After suffering serious injury, that evil thief must have circled around a moment later. Its really damn it, its alright if he wanted to save Zheng Er Gongzi, but why did he have to kill Guan Erge?
Everybody cursed in rage. Guan Anjis brother-in-law, Jia Laolius [Ol Six Jia] cry shook the heavens and the earth. In his grief Chen Jinnan was silent.
They returned to the hall. Qian Laoben said, Zongduozhu, we all know about Er Gongzi and Da Gongzis struggle over the Wangye position. Our Tian Di Hui has always been impartial in this matter; Da Gongzi is older, naturally we support Da Gongzi. Er Gongzi has always considered you as a nail in his eyes, this time he received Feng Xifans instigation, and was thinking of seizing this opportunity to get rid of you. Today we have offended Er Gongzi. I am afraid Wangye might believe their slanderous report. Hereafter Zongduozhu cannot return to Taiwan anymore.
Chen Jinnan sighed and said, Guoxing Yes benevolence to me was very heavy, even with torn body and crushed bones it would be difficult for me to repay his kindness. Wangye has always been wise, plus he is very respectful toward me; he cant possibly harm a loyal and good person.
Priest Xuanzhen said, As the saying goes: distant relation cannot separate flesh and blood relation. Er Gongzi has already determined that our Tian Di Hui refuses to follow Taiwans order. If even in the Central Plains he was already like this, would he give you any leeway in Taiwan? Their Zheng Family has altogether eight Gongzi, everybody is fighting everybody else to seize the power, our Tian Di Hui does not need to be involved. Zongduozhu, while its true that we are not Qin Hui, but we are definitely not Yue Fei either[2].
Qian Laoben said, Zongduozhu is loyal and devoted, and has always served the Zheng Family all your life, yet you were nearly killed by Er Gongzi; no matter what we cannot simply swallow this matter.
Chen Jinnan sighed again and said, A real mans conduct has a clear conscience against the heaven and the earth, whatever other people say, long or short, has nothing to do with him. Its just that I have never imagined such misfortune would befall us. Just now if it were not for Xiaobaos resourcefulness, we all would die a violent death ay, its a pity Guan Erge
Wei Xiaobao was relieved to hear that his shifu would not investigate the scattering of lime and the nailing of the coffin. Afraid that it was merely a momentary lapse of memory, he decided to change the subject immediately. We have made quite some noise, he said, I am afraid all next door neighbors have heard it; if they report to the authorities, I am afraid I am afraid We must move immediately.
Absolutely, Chen Jinnan said, My mind is in turmoil, unexpectedly I havent thought about it.
Right away they all went back to the garden to dig a hole and bury Guan Anjis body. After shedding more tears and kowtowing, they carried their belongings out and left immediately. The Tian Di Hui warriors were constantly on the move around the Capital, moving their residence was a common occurrence. Wei Xiaobao was afraid his Shifu would ask him about his martial art training, he took the opportunity to take his leave and return to the Imperial Palace.
Back at his residence, he bolted the door, and opened the six copies of sutra one by one. Indeed he saw a lot of sheepskin pieces in between the cover of the sutras. He took out the pieces and stitched the cover back to its original state. But after stitching the cover of less than one book he already fed up with it; he thought, It would be best if Shuanger is here. Right this moment she is most likely still outside Shaolin Temple waiting for me. I was captured by Shifu Jiu Nan, this good servant girl must be extremely worried. I must send someone to tell here to come here. Sewing several stitches later, his eyes grew very heavy; he hid the sutra well and fell asleep.
Early in the morning the next day he went to the Upper Study Room to wait upon the Emperor. Kangxi said, I am going to issue an imperial decree tomorrow, sending you to escort Princess Jianning to Yunnan, to be married to that little b@stard surnamed Wu.
Yes, Wei Xiaobao replied, Its just a pity that I have not served Your Majesty for several days and I will have to be far away from you.
Kangxi lowered his voice and said, The Empress Dowager has told me a very important matter. This time you go to Yunnan, you may try to take this opportunity to work on it. Wei Xiaobao complied.
Kangxi continued, The Empress Dowager said, that evil maid servant impersonating the Empress Dowager, actually it was part of a great conspiracy: her mission was to find the location of our Manchus dragon vein, and try to find a way to break it.
Wei Xiaobao blurted out without thinking, That old wh0res crime is great, her evil extreme! But then he hastily covered his mouth, realizing that he had cursed with vulgar language in front of the Emperor, unavoidably it was too disrespectful.
Who would have thought that Kangxi did not give it the slightest thought? Correct! he responded, That old wh0re is indeed not a thing. The Empress Dowager had to endure disgrace and endure suffering, she would rather die than reveal the secret; only by doing that did the old wh0res evil scheme fail. With the Heavens blessing therefore the Empress Dowager is safe and sound until today, and has been able to hold on without revealing this big secret.
Wei Xiaobao already knew the secret early on, but he said, Your Majesty, it would be best if you do not tell me this huge secret. One more person knows about it, the danger that the secret will leak also increases by one part.
Kangxi praised him, You are making good progress; you understand that in everything we must be cautious. However, since the first time you work for me, you have never leaked anything. If I cant even trust you, I can trust nobody else.
Wei Xiaobao felt that the several hundred bones in his body, each bone was several taels several qians lighter. He kneeled down and kowtowed, while saying, Your Majesty trust me this much, even if your servants tongue is cut, I will not dare to divulge half a word of what Your Majesty is going to tell me.
Kangxi nodded; he said, The secret of our Great Qings dragon vein is actually hidden in the eight copies of the Forty-two-chapter Sutra.
Wei Xiaobao pretended to be astonished; he repeatedly said, Ah, strange, is there such thing? Its absolutely unthinkable!
Kangxi continued, After the Shezheng Wangye [master king regent] entered the pass, he bestowed eight copies of sutra to the Eight Banners Banner Commander. Within the Eight Banners, the troops and horses of Plain Yellow, Plain White and Bordered Yellow, three banners are under the command of the Son of Heaven. But the farmland and material belongings of these three banners are still the Banner Commanders responsibility. The Plain Yellow Banners copy has always been in Fu Huangs [father emperor] possession, which he took with him to Mount Wutai. Later on he sent you to bring it back and bestowed it to me. Because the Bordered White Banners Banner Commander committed a crime, the Bordered White Banners sutra ended up in the Palace, and Fu Huang bestowed it to Empress Duan Jing.
Wei Xiaobao said in his heart, The Old Emperor doted on Empress Duan Jing; naturally he wanted to give the best thing to her. If it were me, if all eight copies ended up in the Palace, I would bestow all to her.
Kangxi continued, The old wh0re murdered Empress Duan Jing, naturally she took hold of her sutra. Oboi was the Bordered Yellow Banners Banner Commander. When I sent you to search and seize Obois home that day, the old wh0re wanted you to find two sutras, one was precisely the Bordered Yellow Banners, the other was Plain White Banners.
Yes, Wei Xiaobao said, If I had known the old wh0re was bad, your servant would have reported to the old wh0re that I could not find it, and quietly presented the sutras to Your Majesty.
Kangxi laughed and said, At that time we did not know that the old wh0re was a fake Empress Dowager; we also did not know that there is such great responsibility inside the Forty-two-chapter Sutra. If you were fooling around like that, I would have I would have flogged your buttocks.
Yes, yes, Wei Xiaobao said. In his heart he said, Flogging my buttocks and thats it? You dont need to be polite! He asked, The Plain White Banners copy, I wonder where did Oboi get it from?
Kangxi said, He has killed the Plain White Banners Banner Commander Suksaha, and seized his family property, his belongings, including his copy of sutra. Humph, even death cannot wipe out that rebels crimes.
Yes, Wei Xiaobao said, In that case, the old wh0re had three copies in her hands.
Only three? Kangxi said, She also sent the Deputy Chief of Imperial Bodyguards Rui Dong to make things difficult for the Bordered Red Banners Banner Commander Hechabo. At that time I did not know the reason, that fellow Hechabo had always been in collusion with Oboi, so I did not pay him any attention. Now that I think about it, naturally it was to seize his copy of the sutra. And then Rui Dong mysteriously disappeared; the old wh0re must have killed him to close his mouth.
Yes, yes, Wei Xiaobao said, Your Majesty can see things like a deity [i.e. prophecy with supernatural accuracy; you will see shortly why I kept the literal translation]. While in his heart he said, You are convinced that Rui Dong was killed by the old wh0re, hence I praised you that you can see things like a deity; that is striking a nail on one foot. If in the future you find out that Rui Dong was killed by me, you cannot go back on your word by questioning me. Otherwise, you are acknowledging that you cannot see things like a deity. In your capacity as the Emperor, how can you see things not like a deity, but like a demon?
Kangxi said, But if my guess is incorrect
Wei Xiaobao busily said, Definitely correct.
Kangxi said, the old wh0re had four copies of sutra in her hands. But there is one very strange thing: Fu Huang bestowed to me that copy of the Plain Yellow Banners sutra, all along I put it on the table in the Upper Study Room, but suddenly it disappeared. You think who has such a nerve to brazenly come to the Upper Study Room and steal something?
Wei Xiaobao said, Can come and go the Upper Study Room, and have guts to take a book without permission, only only
Princess Jianning! Kangxi said.
Wei Xiaobao did not dare to interrupt; he mused, This time indeed you can see things like a deity.
Kangxi said, The old wh0re sent her daughter to steal my copy of the sutra. In that case, she had five copies in her hands.
Let us quickly go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful to search, Wei Xiaobao said, The old wh0re was running away out of the Palace empty-handed, she did not bring anything. While his heart was pounding madly, If this moment the Emperor search my room, even if Xiao Guizi has a hundred heads, all will be chopped down.
Kangxi shook his head, I have already searched carefully, he said, I could not find anything. I only found a monk robe. The old wh0res good friend was actually a monk. Ha ha, ha ha !
Wei Xiaobao started to laugh, but after only two has, he felt it was extremely rude, so he hastily stopped laughing. Kangxi was still laughing heartily, however, as he said, Its just that when that short winter melon ran away, carrying the old wh0re with him, I saw that he had long hair, hence I was surprised. Most likely he was like that palace maid impersonator, his hair was fake. That fellow was short and fat; the old wh0res man was not a good steal, why did she look for such a short winter melon?
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, That short winter melons martial art skill was very high. If he was handsome, he might not necessarily have the ability to sneak into the Palace. Last time that fake palace maid was also very ugly.
Kangxi laughed and said, You got that right. After a short pause, he said, The other three copies of the sutra are in the hands of Plain Red Banner, Plain Blue Banner, and Bordered Blue Banner, three Banners possession. The current Plain Red Banners Banner Commander is Prince Kang, I have already ordered him to present the sutra to me.
Wei Xiaobao thought, That night someone stole Prince Kangs sutra, and right now it is in my possession; how can Prince Kang present it to the Emperor? This time that Ol Kang will be a deep trouble.
Kangxi continued, The Plain Blue Banners Banner Commander Fu Deng is still young. Just now I asked him, he said that his predecessor, the Banner Commander Jia Kun died during the assault of Yunnan; the funeral arrangement was taken over by Wu Sangui. What Wu Sangui handed over to him was an official seal, several army banners, and several tens of thousands taels of silver. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Wei Xiaobao said, The sutra must be embezzled by Wu Sangui.
Thats right, Kangxi said, For that reason, when you get to Wu Sanguis mansion, carefully investigate this matter, think of a way to get the sutra. That servant Wu Sangui is very crafty, you must never let him know the inside story.
[2] Yue Fei (1102-1142), Song Dynastys patriot and fames general. Qin Hui (1090-1155), Song Dynasty official who betrayed General Yue Fei and had him executed.

By Caitlin Dineen Staff writer
The state Department of Transportation has awarded contracts to complete four separate road projects in the Cape Fear region.
Crews can begin as early as March 1 to replace the bridge over Little Rockfish Creek on Strickland Bridge Road, west of Hope Mills, DOT officials said.
The department awarded a $1.2 million contract to S.T. Wooten Corp. of Wilson to replace the Cumberland County bridge, which was built in 1951. The bridge is considered structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, meaning it is safe but needs repairs.
The work is expected to be completed by Sept. 1, according to the DOT. After then, crews will complete the landscaping.
Another project is the resurfacing of the eastbound lanes in a 10.9-mile section of U.S. 74 from N.C. 41 to the Columbus County line in Robeson County. A $2.4 million contract was awarded to Barnhill Contracting Co. of Tarboro for the work, which can start Jan. 28 and must be completed by May 31, DOT officials said.
The DOT awarded a $8.8 million contract, also to S.T. Wooten Corp., to widen and resurface a 17.3.-mile stretch of U.S. 74 from U.S. 74 Business near Whiteville to N.C. 214 in Columbus County. The contract calls for the work to be completed by Nov. 15.
The Tara Group of Lumberton Inc. was awarded a $1.7 million contract to build a new bridge on U.S. 74 over Gum Swamp Creek, northwest of Laurinburg. It will replace the current 74-year-old bridge, which was built to design standards that are no longer in use and is considered functionally obsolete.
The new bridge will be built alongside the current bridge, which will remain in use during construction. The bridge will become part of I-74 westbound when the highway is upgraded to interstate status.
The project can start as early as Jan. 28 and should be finished by Sept. 15, 2014, according to the DOT, although vegetation and planting work could continue into March 2015.
The contracts were among 23 awarded by the DOT in December for highway and bridge projects throughout the state.

GNO Inc. did the perception study (Bridging the Perception Gap: Results of National Opinion Survey) of New Orleans and it shows four out of ten would consider moving to the Crescent City if given the opportunity; and that increases to six out of ten for individuals who have visited in the past two years, showing that visiting improves perception.
It seems the Super Bowl could have a much wider economic impact than the nearly half a billion dollars that will immediately be felt. CEO Michael Hecht says "They are missing these much broader effects (in the impact dollar amounts). Individuals, now we know, empirically, who come to visit want to stay here. So I think since we put on such a successful week and the town showed itself so well that this will have a positive impact on net in-migration something of which we've now had for five years. This will only help."
For the full study from GNO Inc., click here
The study shows overall Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill actually helped bolster impressions of the city as tough and resilient. But it also elevated concerns about the city's susceptibility to disaster and subpar quality of life.
"The good news from the study is that everybody loves New Orleans and we're a beloved brand," says Hecht "And people have very positive associations with us particularly in terms of culture." But the study also shows people are very concerned about flooding here, inspite of the fact that we came through Hurricane Isaac bone dry.
But his outlook for New Orleans is much broader than just the impact of the Super Bowl. "We could really be one of the boom regions for the next 20 years, not only because of what we're doing here, but also if you look at what's happening in the economy particularly in energy where there's going to be an oil and gas boom nationally, centered on the Gulf coast," says Hecht.

Wes Anderson movie to open Berlin film festival
BERLIN (AP) - Wes Anderson's new movie, "The Grand Budapest Hotel," is to open the 2014 Berlin Film Festival.
Festival organizers said Tuesday the event kicks off on Feb. 6 with the world premiere of the movie, which stars Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Jude Law and Edward Norton.
The Berlin event is the first of the year's major European film festivals. Director Dieter Kosslick said: "With unmistakable Wes Anderson charm, this comedy promises to kick things off in a big way."
The latest movie from the director of "Moonrise Kingdom," "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" features Fiennes as a concierge at a European hotel in an adventure that involves the theft and recovery of a priceless painting.
The Berlin Film Festival runs from Feb.6-16.

Great for the price....
By Rusty
from Cincinnati
Comments about Quick Sling™ Cross-body Camera Strap:
Well made for the price, not a Black Rapid, but not bad, my only gripe is the use of plastic in high stress areas such as the piece that connects the strap to tripod screw, would like to see aluminum here, but for lighter weight gear, it seems durable enough. Previous post saying it doesn't fit Canon????..wrong!! It uses a standard 1/4-20 thread and will fit any camera with a tripod socket.....

The mechanism that is supposed to screw into the base of the camera DOES NOT FIT any of my Canon cameras. Will not work with Canon Rebel XT, 50D or 6D. Thread size is not correct for Canon cameras. Unfortunately, store where I bought it would not give me a refund!

I thought I would make this topic for everyone to share their excitement and expectations of the fifth album. As we all know, Avril is working her butt off writing new songs while The Runners are producing and L.A Reid seems to be very happy with her progress. The Runners were recently quoted talking about Avril at The Grammy's:-
"It's awesome. It's an honor. We feel blessed to be here," Dru Bet of the Runners told Billboard.biz. Bet wore his Grammy nominee proudly as he and Mayne Zayne chatted with friends. The pair, who also produced songs for Chris Brown, are currently working with Avril Lavigne. "Avril is just a genius. She's writing all the songs right now," Bet said. "And Mayne and her, they clicked creatively together, [it's] excellent."
And she's even having a new sound!
Also, any fifth album news we hear, could all be posted here, just to keep the forums clean
I found this site which supposedly has 'information' about Avril's fifth album, obviously I've never heard the source so it could be BS, but i thought it was interesting to post as a discussion topic
"Avril Lavigne : My New Album is Very Emotional
March 16, 2012 by: MADISON VANDERBERGShare015 ShareEmail
0 15
ShareEmailAvril Lavigne just ended her whirlwind "Black Star" tour and tells us that she's already back in the studio working on what will become her 5th studio album.
"I'm in the studio right now and I'm working with another Canadian guy who is super rad, Chad Kruger from the band Nickelback and David Hodges, he's also a super talented [producer] who did a lot of Evanescence stuff," Avril tells us at the launch of her Abbey Dawn collection presented by Just Fabulous.
She also says she's working with a high profile X-Factor judge, "I'm working with LA Reid and we're all really excited."
That will only further fuel the rumors that she is in talks to join the judging panel of The X-Factor. Though when we asked about the judging rumors, she simply says, "I already performed on the X-Factor and that was awesome."
For now we can absolutely look forward to her new album, which she says is not as "young" but definitely very "fun."
"I don't think it's as young," she says of her new album, "A lot of acoustic guitars and pianos. There's a deep message…it's emotional, [but] it's a good time because the album is a little more upbeat I think. It's got some pretty crazy fun songs. It's about living life and just like making the most of it and having a good time.""
Replies for this Forum Topic
LOL check this video out about Marilyn Manson talking about shaving Avril's head, singing on one of her new songs and he say's her album is good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rA30TOvvI4
Latest news:
'Following the success of Goodbye Lullaby, Avril Lavigne announced that she had begun work on her fifth studio album, which was targeted for release in late 2012. She revealed the names of two of the new album's tracks: "Fine" and "Gone", which were originally intended for Goodbye Lullaby.
She confirmed that the album would be more pop and fun, more towards the direction of The Best Damn Thing, and that she had moved to Epic Records.
The 27 year-old singer is now taking a short hiatus, and will be releasing the album after her hiatus. Meanwhile, she has debuted a brand new hairstyle which could be a trend sometime in the near future – a half-shaven head.'
Fine, we will see what the future holds ... but I look forward to get a new colorful homepage. The dark Goodbye Lullaby one right now is a bit frustrating.
@thequiet Shouldn't listen to rumours. Besides, Avril made no hint when the album would be out. All Avril said was that the album was done and she was taking a break before venturing on her next musical adventure. A break could be anything from 2 months - 1 year but she's preparing for all the promotion etc since coming back to L.A or she's planning the photoshoot.. unless she has done it already.

Great location, walking distance to many things. Room accommodations were excellent for anyone staying several nights. Very comfortable, two rooms, full... kitchen, bedroom living room and sitting area and great bathroom and shower, which is unusual for European hotels. Breakfast was adequate but not elaborate, as some Continental breakfasts that we experienced at other hotels. Breakfast service was excellent. The major problem we experienced is that the complimentary wireless internet was not working 4 out of the 5 days that we were there. They had a major problem that took 4 days to resolve which caused a major inconvenience for us and many of the guests since many of us use our laptops or iPad to stay in touch with our offices and families in the states. The front desk staff was very nice and very apologetic but the problem lasted too long. They did give us a reduction in the rate but the inconvenience of no internet was annoying. Other than that, the hotel was a very lovely and comfortable hotel. Σχόλιο από επισκέπτη της Hotels.com στις Σεπ 9, 2012
