Thanks for another quick update foxs. How are things going for you? I hope everything is well with you and your family.
It seems like Jiaozhu and his Madame have a pretty loving and playful relationship. He seems to adore her to no end.

Yep... just wondering other than for pride why would an old man want a great grand daughter for s wife ? won't it be better to have a great grand daughter and great grand son in law to keep him company ?
Anyway, I guess I'll never be able to be in their shoes....
Thanks Foxs, as usual it's a much appreciated update.
Now it looks like our hero XB will be entering the next stage of his adventure.
errr, I miss his wifes leh....heh heh heh
FIRST!! .... wait, I forgot I am not eligible ... (first of what?)
Hoju! You don't know how many times I wanted to quit. But ... um, echoing Tweety, when are you going to continue? Sky, still no change. Crazee, Tweety, from their banter during the naming of the Heroes' Three Moves, I think they slept together.
Anyway, here is the end of Chapter 20.
Fat Toutuo said, "You are wielding the Five-Dragon Command, I am your subordinate, even if you beat me or curse me, I cannot revolt; much less you did not intentionally want to hurt me. My Shixiong and I have substantially different temperament, character, appearance and voice, just by swapping the name 'Thin' and 'Fat' will not change Fat Zunzhe into Thin Zunzhe, and change Thin Zunzhe into Fat Zunzhe."
Wei Xiaobao nodded his head and said, "So that's what happened."
Fat Toutuo continued, "Five years ago, Jiaozhu sent Shige and I on a mission. That mission was very 'thorny'; by the time we finished it, we were already three days overdue. Immediately we embarked the boat and returned to the Island. On the boat the medicine suddenly flared up, the suffering was very difficult to bear. Shige's temperament was very violent, his anger flared and in his madness, he kicked and broke the mast of the boat. The ship then drifted on the sea. Day by day passed, I grew taller and taller, and thinner and thinner; he grew shorter and shorter, and fatter and fatter. This leopard embryo tendon altering pill can stretch a short and fat person tall and slim, and press a tall and thin person short and fat; Hong Jiaozhu indeed has an extremely vast magical power. We were drifting like that for more than two months, at that time it was hard to say if the two of us would survive. We have finished eating the provision on the boat, we have killed the helmsman and the sailors one by one and ate them. By a struck of sheer luck we came across another boat, and were saved. We forced that boat to take us to the Divine Dragon Island immediately. Jiaozhu knew we finished the mission properly and did not tarry deliberately; thereupon he bestowed us with the antidote. It could be said that our two lives have just been snatched back."
The more Wei Xiaobao heard, the more he was alarmed; turning his head toward Lu Gaoxuan, he saw his expression was serious, so he knew Fat Toutuo was not lying. He said, "In that case, we have to obtain those eight copies of 'Forty-two-chapter Sutra' and return to the Divine Dragon Island within one year?"
Lu Gaoxuan said, "If we can obtain all eight copies of the Sutra, nothing can't be better; but isn't it easier said than done? As long as we manage to get one or two copies and hurry back, naturally Jiaozhu will bestow the antidote."
Wei Xiaobao mused, "I have six copies in my hand, when I really have to alternative, whats so difficult to part with one or two copies to give to Jiaozhu? Immediately he felt relieved and said with a laugh, If Jiaozhu does not give us the antidote this time, maybe we, the young will become old, the old will become young. I will turn into a seventy, eighty years old man, the two of you will turn into little babies; wont that be very interesting?
Lu Gaoxuans body trembled; he said, That thats absolutely must not happen. His voice was filled with terror. He continued, I have single-mindedly pondered over this, most probably the leopard embryo tendon altering pill was made of leopard fetus, deer fetus, the placenta, seal kidney, and other important supplement and rare drug ingredients to induce growth, mixed and refined together. The drug property is obviously to reverse the original bodys characteristic. I am guessing that when Jiaozhu manufactured this drug, his intention was to recover humans youthful vigor, but when he tested it on someone else, the effect did not exactly follow his hearts desires; therefore therefore
Wei Xiaobao picked up, Therefore, Jiaozhu did not personally take the drug, but use it on his subordinates.
Lu Gaoxuan hastily said, This is only my wild guess, it must not be considered as the truth. I am asking White Dragon Envoy never to raise this topic again.
The two of you may set your hearts at ease, Wei Xiaobao said, I guarantee that Jiaozhu will definitely give us the antidote. Please sit down, I have something to say to Miss Fang. He saw Mu Jianping the other day, hence he was eager to tell Fang Yi.
Lu Gaoxuan said, Madame Hong has already summoned Miss Fang, she says White Dragon Envoy not to worry, as long as you wholeheartedly handle this matter for Jiaozhu, Miss Fang will only have good things on the island.
Wei Xiaobao was startled, Miss Miss Fang is not coming with us? he asked.
Madame Hong has already sent someone to fetch her, Lu Gaoxuan said, She left a message to my wife and thats what she told her. Besides, that Mu Jianping, Miss Mu of the Scarlet Dragon Gate is in the same situation.
Wei Xiaobao groaned inwardly, just a moment ago he told Priest Wugen that he wanted to select several people from the Scarlet Dragon Gate to go with him, naturally he had Mu Jianping in his mind; who would have thought that Madame Hong had already anticipated this? With a trembling voice he asked, Madame Madame does not trust me?
This is our Cults rule, Lu Gaoxuan replied, Those who receive orders from Jiaozhu to go out on mission cannot take his family.
With a forced laugh Wei Xiaobao said, Those two Misses are not my family.
More or less, they are, Lu Gaoxuan said.
Actually, Wei Xiaobao was thinking that the next day he would leave the Island with Fang and Mu, two women, and was so happy; but this instant he could not help but feeling dispirited. He mused, Jiaozhu and Madame are indeed formidable, tying the leopard embryo tendon altering pill on my head[4] is not enough, they still hold my first and young wives hostage.
Early morning the following day, Wei Xiaobao had just woke up when he heard the sound of bugle horn, a lot of people were calling out from outside the door, The White Dragon Gate disciples respectfully send off Zhangmenshi on his journey, to handle matters for Jiaozhu wholeheartedly. This shout was followed by the sound of drums, string instruments and bamboo flutes.
Wei Xiaobao rushed out the door and saw about three, four hundred people were lining up outside the door. They all wore white clothes, young and old alike. Everybody shouted in chorus, Zhangmenshi will win victory on raising the flag, will have instant success!
After that, several dozen Cult members wearing blue clothes also came to send off their acting Zhangmenshi, Fat Toutuo.
Wei Xiaobaos spirit rose, immediately he felt invigorated. Together with Fat Toutuo and Lu Gaoxuan, they board the ship. While he was exchanging salute with Priest Wugen, Zhang Danyue, Yin Jin, and the others who had earlier to bid them farewell, suddenly he heard the sound of hoof beats, two riders galloped toward the boat. The two riders were wearing white clothes, surprisingly, they were Fang Yi and Mu Jianping, two women. Wei Xiaobao was greatly delighted, his heart was thumping madly as he mused, Could it be that Madame has changed her mind and let them go with me?
Fang and Mu, two women dismounted their horses and took several steps forward. In a loud and clear voice Fang Yi said, We received Jiaozhu and Madames order to send White Dragon Zhangmenshi off on his journey.
Wei Xiaobaos heart sank, They are only sending me off, he thought.
Fang Yi bowed and said, Subordinates Fang Yi and Mu Jianping received order from Madame to transfer from the Scarlet Dragon Gate to White Dragon Gate, we are ready to receive White Dragon Envoys order.
Wei Xiaobao was startled, but then he suddenly saw the light, Turns out you you have been Shen Long Jiaos member under the Scarlet Dragon Gate. Along the way you were only pretending on Jiaozhus order to deceive me into coming to the Divine Dragon Island. Fat Revered Monk failed to invite me, you came to invite me using a gentle method. Thinking about it, he was very upset; originally he wanted to say some intimate words with those two women, but now he lost interest completely. Suddenly he remembered something and said to Lu Gaoxuan, Mr. Lu, that servant girl who attend to me, Shuanger, send someone to get her, I want take her along in this journey.
This Lu Gaoxuan said.
Wei Xiaobao was angry, he shouted, What this or that? Get her, now!
He shouted in a stern voice, Lu Gaoxuan did not dare to disobey. Yes, yes! he replied, and turned and said something to the attendant onboard the boat. The attendant leaped on shore and dashed away. Not too long afterwards, he saw two riders rushed rapidly over. The one on the front had a petite and slender figure, she was none other than Shuanger.
Without pulling the reins, she called out, Gongzi! and leaped away from the saddle, lightly and deftly landed on the bow of the boat. In the eyes of Priest Wugen and the other martial art experts, there was nothing extraordinary with this kind of qing gong [lightness skill], but noticing that she was very young, yet her posture was very pleasing to the eye, they all cheered.
At first, when Wei Xiaobao knew the boat was about to sail, he was afraid that Shuanger had already fallen into some evil peoples hands, and thus he was very anxious; although her martial art skill was strong, she was a young child after all. Not only that, she was gentle and refined by nature, and did not understand the way of the world. On the sea-going ship, she had nowhere to go, and would definitely get the worst of it. Moreover, realizing that Fang Yi was actually a Divine Dragon Cults disciple, he suddenly also realized that the boat with which they came to the island naturally belonged to the Cult. Now that he saw Shuanger, he was very happy. He pulled her hands, but saw that her countenance looked wan and sallow, her eyes red and swollen, obviously she had been crying a lot. Did they bully you? he hastily asked.
No, they they didnt, Shuanger replied, I was only worrying about Xianggong. They they locked me up.
Alright! Wei Xiaobao said, We are going home.
Shuanger said, In here there are a lot of poisonous snakes, while saying that, Wah! Shuanger burst into tears again.
Wei Xiaobao cast a glance toward Fang Yi; he remembered she led him walk into the forest and let him be bitten by the vipers. A good deal of artificial gestures, all kinds of sweet speech and honeyed words on the boat, everything was a hypocrisy; he could not help but was furious. Casting a hateful glance toward Fang Yi, he said, Set sail!
Aboard, the sailors weighed the anchor; ashore, the firecrackers went off, the people sending off their masters chorused, Respectfully wishing White Dragon Envoy to win victory on raising the flag, to have instant success and will set up great merit for Jiaozhu!
Taking advantage of the fair wind, the boat hoisted its sail and slowly left the Island. Everybody on the shore shouted, With Jiaozhus treasured teaching always in our hearts
Wei Xiaobao thought, If I did not know Miss Fang had already entered the Cult, I would have missed her all the time. This way, I have nothing to worry about her. Yet when he recalled Fang Yis touching tender sentiments, he could not stop his heart from feeling melancholy.
He thought further, How could those two enter Shen Long Jiao? Its very strange. Ah, right, they were captured by Zhang Laosan and his men, Young Mistress Zhuang said she sent people to rescue them, apparently they failed, consequently they were forced to join Shen Long Jiao. Xiao Junzhu has taken Jiaozhus poison, its only natural that Miss Fang has also taken the poison. Um, if Miss Fang did not obey, she did not want to deceive me into coming to Divine Dragon Island, the poison in her will flare up and she die. Indeed she had no choice, so I cant blame her. Its just that this little mothers skin [小娘皮 - see Chapter 10] was putting on an act and deceived her husband without spending any effort at all; she is not a good person! Damn it, in the end, what is Shen Long Jiao up to? Although Laozi has become the White Dragon Envoy, I am completely in the dark!
Thinking that it was all because of Zhang Laosan, he mused, I wonder which gate does this old fellow belong to? When in the future Laozi is back on the Divine Dragon Island, I will have him transferred to the White Dragon Gate, then I will have this old fellows buttocks flogged three hundred times every day. He also thought, I wonder if Zhang Laosan is on the Island? Most likely he does not dare to report to Jiaozhu that I am Xiao Guizi; otherwise, when Jiaozhu heard that he had already caught such an important person but then let him go, Jiaozhu would have chopped his head. He is an old fellow, not a pretty boy [lit. little white face], which Jiaozhu and Madame are going to kill anyway. If they found out that he had violated such matter, wouldnt he be killed like, seventeen, eighteen times already? Thats right, Fat Toutuo did not dare to expose my trickery, Zhang Laosan also did not dare to expose my fraud[5]. There is one thing I do not understand, Madame loves little white face, thats not so strange, but why does Jiaozhu also love them? [Translators note: the part about little white face does not exist in the 3rd edition]
[4] The original word means ring. What came into my mind was Sun Wukongs headband from Journey to the West. (From Wikipedia: Guanyin understood that the monkey would be hard to control, and therefore gave Xuanzang a gift from the Buddha: a magical headband which, once Sun Wukong was tricked into putting it on, could never be removed. With a special chant, the band would tighten and cause unbearable pain to the monkey's head. To be fair, she also gave Sun Wukong three special hairs, which could be used in dire emergencies. Under Xuanzang's supervision, Sun Wukong was allowed to journey to the West.) Please bear in mind that this is only my impression, not in Jin Yongs original text.
[5] There is a play of words here, the original says, Fat Toutuo trickery [西洋镜 - xi yang jing, literally means western world mirror], Zhang Laosan fraud [东洋镜 dong yang jing, lit. eastern world mirror].
Hi tweety! Hope you're doing well!
You are doing amazing foxs, and you've got a loyal following to prove it.
WLWS is still on the back burner at the moment. I am currently part of a small team of mainly spcnet members that is doing a non-wuxia translation project of the internet novel, Bu Bu Jing Xin in anticipation of the drama release this summer. I don't think I could handle a translation on my own at the moment since the not-so-little (she's turning 1 in 6 days!!) baby takes up so much time and energy. One day, I hope to go back to Wu Lin Wai Shi. Until then, I will follow along in your project, foxs. Thanks for all your hard work!

Wow Hoju, time sure flies by. She's 1 already? Hope she doesn't give you too much trouble. Oh, so you've been hiding in the BBJX thread . Well, we will all be patiently waiting for WLWS.
Chapter 21 Golden scissors silently utter winding ground, treasured hairpin dreams of swallow clinging to a man.
(Translated by Foxs)
One day the boat reached Qinhuangdao [Hebei]; they came ashore and continued to Beijing. Wei Xiaobao said, I must think of a way to sneak into the Imperial Palace, but I dont know which day I will succeed. We all must find a place where we can take shelter. Immediately Lu Gaoxuan rented a house at the Xuanwu Gate, Hair Alley, in a quiet neighborhood; they immediately moved in.
After settling down, Wei Xiaobao went out alone to the Water Well Alley, to look at Tian Di Huis temporary lodging. He saw that the place had been turned into a tea-leaves shop. He tried to ask several questions according to the secret code of the Society, but the man was just staring at him not understanding what he was talking about; obviously the Society had moved out of that place.
Next he strolled around the Heavenly Bridge area, thinking that even if the Eight-arm Ape Xu Tianchuan was also forced to join the Divine Dragon Cult and was no longer at Heavenly Bridge, he might come across the rest of the brethrens like Gao Yanchao, Fan Gang, Qian Laoben and the others. Who would have thought that after strolling back and forth around the Heavenly Bridge several times he unexpectedly did not see anybody he knew. Thereupon he went to Xizhimen [main northwest gate of Beijing], to the inn he stayed at the last time he came to Beijing. He took out three taels of silver and tossed it to the counter, saying that he wanted the best room.
Seeing how liberal he was with money, the innkeeper greeted him very respectfully. Wei Xiaobao took out five more qian, and stuffed it into the inn servant's hands, insisting that he wanted the Heaven Wing, room number three on the second floor. By coincidence this room was unoccupied, so it can be considered that the servant had made an easy five qian.
Wei Xiaobao drank a cup of tea, then he lay down and closed his eyes to rest. After making sure there was no noise everywhere, he pulled his dagger out and pried the hole on the wall. The copy of sutra Emperor Shunzhi gave him was still nicely tucked inside the hole. He unwrap the oilcloth to inspect the book. Finding nothing out of ordinary, he put the brick back on the wall. Fat Toutuo had become his subordinate; therefore, there was no need for him to summon the Imperial Bodyguards to escort the sutra. Putting the book into his bosom he walked toward the Forbidden City.
When he reached the Palace, the Imperial Bodyguard on duty saw a young man in civilian clothes walking toward the Palace gate; he shouted, "Little fellow, what are you doing?"
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "You don't recognize me? I am Gui Gonggong of the Palace."
The Imperial Bodyguard looked at him carefully, and recognized him, it was indeed the Gui Gonggong, His Majesty's most favored eunuch. Quickly a big smile appeared on his face as he said, "Gui Gonggong, you are wearing this kind of clothes, hee ... hee ..."
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "His Majesty sent me out on an important assignment, I was hurrying to go back and did not have time to change."
"Yes, yes," the Imperial Bodyguard said, "Gui Gonggong's face is glowing with good fortune, naturally this assignment is completed without any trouble at all, His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely."
Wei Xiaobao returned to his own residence to change into his eunuch uniform. He wrapped the sutra using a piece of old cloth and then went directly to the Upper Study Room to see the Emperor. As soon as Kangxi heard that Xiao Guizi was seeking an audience, he said delightedly, "Come in quickly, come in quickly."
Wei Xiaobao quickly entered in and saw Kangxi, filled with joy, was waiting at the inner study room's door. "Damn it," he said, "Xiao Guizi, roll in quickly, why have you gone so long this time?" He only said those three character 'damn it' [ta ma de] in front of Wei Xiaobao, he had suppressed his desire to say those words for very long.
Wei Xiaobao kneeled down and kowtowed; he said, "Congratulations Your Majesty, it's an enormous happiness."
As soon as he heard it, Kangxi knew his Fu Huang [father emperor] was indeed still alive; emotion surged in his heart, his body swayed several times, he reached out to hold the door frame as he said, "Come in and tell me slowly." His chest ached, tears nearly flowed down his face.
Wei Xiaobao entered the inner study room, turned around to close the door and put on the door bolt. He looked around the bookshelves and after making sure there were no other eunuchs who usually serve the Emperor, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I saw the Old Emperor on Mount Wutai."
Kangxi grabbed his hand tight; he said in a trembling voice, "Fu Huang ... really became a monk on Mount Wutai? He ... what did he say?"
Thereupon Wei Xiaobao narrated how he met the Old Emperor in the Qing Liang Temple, how the Tibetan Lama intended to harm the Emperor, how summoning up courage and determination he had rendered his assistance, staking out his life to escort the Emperor, how luckily the Eighteen Luohan of Shaolin had come to their rescue; he told him everything one by one. This matter was already very thrilling, as it was being narrated by Wei Xiaobao, the excitement grew thirty percent, his own loyalty and gallantry grew by fifty percent.
He heard Kangxi was rubbing his cold-sweated hands and repeatedly saying, "How dangerous, how dangerous!" Kangxi also said, "We must send a thousand Imperial Bodyguards immediately to go up the mountain to protect the Emperor."
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "Most probably the Old Emperor won't want that." Thereupon he repeated everything Shunzhi had told him.
Kangxi heard how his father did not want him to go up Mount Wutai, and how he had praised him with these words, "He is a good emperor, thinking about the important matters of the imperial court first, not like me ..." He could not bear and broke in loud cry as he wailed, "Definitely I must go, definitely I must go!"
Wei Xiaobao waited until he had cried for a while before he took out the sutra and presented it with both hands, saying, "The Old Emperor wanted me to tell you: 'In the matters of the world, he must let nature take its course, nothing can be forced. It would be best if he could benefit the common people of the Central Plains. But if the common people wanted us to leave, then from the place we came, there we should come back to.' The old emperor also wanted me to tell you: 'If he wants the whole world at peace, 'never raise taxes', these four words [yong bu jia fu] should be firmly planted in his mind. If he can accomplish these four words, it is good enough for me, my heart will be happy.'"
Kangxi listened in daze, tears flowing down his face and dripped onto the cloth wrapper of the sutra; with trembling hands he received the bundle, opened up the wrapper, and saw a copy of 'Forty-two-chapter Sutra'. Turning the cover, he saw on the first page four large characters 'Never Raise Taxes' [yong bu jia fu]. The brush stroke was delicate yet supple, it was indeed his father's handwriting. With a sob he said, "Fu Huang's admonition, child will never dare to forget."
He calmed himself down, and then asked in details whether Shunzhi was in good health, how was his appearance now, whether he was suffering greatly in the Qing Liang Temple. Wei Xiaobao reported everything according to the facts. Kangxi was overwhelmed with grieve again and broke out crying.
Suddenly Wei Xiaobao had an idea, "Damn it," he mused, "I'd better accompany him crying for a while, then he would definitely give me more rewards; tears are free anyway." As soon as he had that thought, he started to sob, tears flowing copiously from his eyes. 'Boo hoo hoo ...' the more he cried, the more miserable he sounded.
Although Kangxi's grief was hard to endure and he cried audibly, but he had a reputation to maintain and must not demean himself, thereupon he constantly tried to suppress his emotion. Wei Xiaobao, on the other hand, intentionally putting an act and wailed loudly. This particular skill was developed when he was still in Yangzhou, and he was quite an expert on this. Before his mother's feathered bamboo clappers even reached his bottom, he was already crying an earth-shattering cry; moreover, although he was not really crying, but real tears would cascade down his face. It would be very difficult for other people to tell whether he was really crying or not.
Kangxi cried for a while, and then he wiped his tears and asked, "I miss my Fu Huang, hence I cried. But you are crying even sadder than I am; why is that?"
Wei Xiaobao replied, "I saw how grieved you are, and I remember the Old Emperor's gentle affection; he commended me repeatedly, saying that without giving any thought of my own life I protected him. He likes me very much, and thus I feel even more grieved." While saying that, he did not stop whimpering. He continued, "If I did not know how much you were concerned over this matter and wanted to rush back to report to you, I really wanted to stay on Mount Wutai to attend to the Old Emperor, so that I won't be worried over bad people bullying him."
"Xiao Guizi," Kangxi said, "You are very good, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Wei Xiaobao's tears had not stopped flowing; sobbing and sniffling he said, "Your Majesty is already very good to me, I don't want any reward. I only hope that the Old Emperor is safe and sound, we, as the servants, will be very happy." On the Divine Dragon Island he had heard people shouting loudly, 'Jiaozhu will enjoy immortal good fortune forever, his long life will be the same as the heaven's', and thought nothing of how shameful they were; inevitably his face grew thicker and thicker, his boot-licking skill made a tremendous progress. The more the Cult people wanted to make their Cult Leader happy, the more exaggerated their talk become.
Kangxi, however, accepted his speech as the truth. He said, "I am also deeply concerned that Fu Huang has nobody to attend to him. You said that that Monk Xing Dian is rude and impetuous, he is very clumsy; Fu Huang has no competent people by his side, it really makes me more anxious. Xiao Guizi, it's beyond my expectation that Fu Huang likes you ..."
Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao's jaw dropped and he could not close it up; while groaning inwardly, "Aiyo! Aiyo! This time Laozi is in a very big trouble; Laozi is blowing my horn a bit too hard."
He heard Kangxi continued, "... actually, I don't want to lose you either, but as a son, I have to have filial piety toward my father. Whatever I have in my hands, always give the best to my father. You are my most competent subordinate; although you are young, you are actually very competent, and very loyal and devoted to us, father and son ..."
Wei Xiaobao cried out in his heart, "Obedient my @ss! Mother! You send laozi to Mount Wutai to accompany the old monk, it's the same as sending me to prison."
Sure enough, he heard Kangxi continue, "Let's do it this way: you go to Mount Wutai, be a monk at the Qing Liang Temple and take care of my Fu Huang ..."
Wei Xiaobao realized the urgency of the situation: not only he had to accompany the old monk, he himself must become a little monk; the situation was far from encouraging, nothing could be worse than that. Thereupon without waiting for Kangxi to finish, he hastily said, "Taking care of the Old Emperor is very good, but you want me to be a monk, this ... I don't want to!"
And so Wei Xiaobao continues to improve in his understanding of the 64 stances of the Divine Boot-licking Skill. Unfortunately, he hasn't yet mastered the subtleties of the skill, where some stances have to be applied with care and discretion. Power and speed isn't everything in the marvellously nuanced world of fartial arts (named after Fartius, the Roman god of wind).
LOL, WXB's own fault for exaggerating and flaunting his accomplishments. But even without bragging, his accomplishment really is great. Yeah, WXB is definitely not monk material.
Thanks, foxs!
thank you foxs
Ali Derhamy
So sorry last time I only had time to post and had to leave immediately. Tweety, Crazee, KChill, Sky, I thought people with high level of internal energy can direct their bloodflow to down yonder ... no viagra needed. Besides, if they are really in love ...
Hoju! Happy birthday to the Little Angel ... Looking forward to the completion of your work, though ...
Pannonian, as always, your creativity amuses me. Why don't you try 'gulongize' some of Wei Xiaobao's antique? Rati4u, Ali, thanks for dropping by, I agree, WXB and being a monk should not be mentioned in one sentence.
I think Athlon was right, only 2 parts going into Chapter 21, I have already seen some details that the other translator skipped. Not a lot, but some ... Here it is. Enjoy! And oh, Happy Father's Day to all of you who are fathers (definitely not you, Hoju! and Sky ... )
Smiling slightly, Kangxi said, "I did not mean for you to be a monk forever. It's just that Fu Huang has wholeheartedly decided to meditate; if you become a monk, it will be somewhat more convenient to serve him. In the future .... in the future, if you want to leave the monastic order, it will be up to you." The implication was clear: someday Shunzhi would grow old and die [the original world denotes 'the dying of Buddhist monk or nun'], if at that time you don't want to be monk anymore, nobody can stop you.
It does not matter if Wei Xiaobao had a hundred excuses, right now he had his hands bound and was unable to do anything about it. Although he knew that the young emperor was very good to him, since the Emperor had issued an order, if Wei Xiaobao resolutely refused to go, not only his previous merit would go down the drain, the Emperor might become hostile to him and immediately had his head chopped off; now that would not be fun. Thereupon he sullenly said, "I ... I hate to part with you ... Wah ...!" he broke into crying. But this time it was not a fake cry, he was crying for real. Only it was not because he was loyal to his lord or he loved his master, but because he really did not want to be a little monk.
Kangxi was greatly moved; he gently patted Wei Xiaobao's shoulder and warmly said, "How about this: you become a monk for several years, serve my Fu Huang well. Later I will send someone else to take your place so that you can return to my side; won't that be good? Fu Huang does not allow me to have audience with him, I simply cannot come to him. It does not have to be too long before you can come back and see me again. Xiao Guizi, be a good boy and listen to me, in the future I will make you a good government official."
Seeing Wei Xiaobao did not stop crying, he said consolingly, "When you have time in the temple, you may study and learn to read, so that when you take an official post someday, you can be a high-ranking official."
Wei Xiaobao mused, "Whether I be a government official in the future or not, it does not damn matter, but right now, I am afraid me being a little monk has already been decided." But then he had a second thought, "If I go to Mount Wutai, I can talk nonsense and making a ruckus so that the Old Emperor will let me go; I think it won't be difficult. I will say that without me serving the young emperor, he does not feel like eating, this time I left him for a month or two, he already lost several catties and grew thin. The Old Emperor cherishes his son, certainly he would send me back to the Palace."
With this plan formed in his mind, he slowly stopped crying. He said, "Whatever mission you send me, I will go through water and tread on fire for you, under no circumstances I will decline. Let's not say being a monk, even if you ask me to be a turtle son of a b1tch, I will gladly do it. Your Majesty, set your heart at ease, I will definitely do my utmost to serve the Old Emperor, to make him, the Senior, strong and healthy, that he will reach a hundred years ... and ... and enjoy the immortal good fortune forever, his long-life will be the same as the heavens'."
Kangxi was greatly delighted; he laughed and said, "You left Beijing for several months, unexpectedly your knowledge also progressed, your use of the idiom is not bad. Why did you tarry on Mount Wutai for so long? It was not easy to meet the Old Emperor, was it?"
Wei Xiaobao thought that it would be best if he did not say anything about the Divine Dragon Island; "That's right," he replied, "No matter what, the Abbot of Qing Liang Temple, also that Old Yulin Fashi, did not want to admit that the Old Emperor was in the Temple, while I felt it was inappropriate to point it out bluntly; I had no choice but to rove around at another temple on the mountain while thinking of a plan. Today I went to Xian Tong Temple to perform sacrifice, tomorrow I go to Fo Guang Temple to feed the starving ghosts. From among several thousand big monks, little monks on Mount Wutai, I know at least a thousand of them. If not for those evil Lama coming to harass the Old Emperor, perhaps I would still be donating Buddhist robes and vegetarian meals even today."
Kangxi laughed and said, "You must have spent a lot of money! To get reimbursement of your expense, go to the office of the internal affairs." He did not even ask the amount, thinking that Wei Xiaobao had already set up great merit, plus he was willing to be a little monk; he thought that even if Wei Xiaobao wanted to embezzle some money, he would simply let him.
Unexpectedly Wei Xiaobao said, "To tell Your Majesty the truth, the last time you sent me to search and seize Oboi's home, your servant had already taken quite a bit of advantage. At that time I was embarrassed to report to you, so this time I went to Mount Wutai, after seeing the Old Emperor and receiving the Senior's lesson, I understand that I must not commit any dishonesty toward Your Majesty, thereupon I donated all the money I previously acquired to the temple. Just consider your servant is helping Your Majesty to amass secret virtue, hoping that Bodhisattva will bless and protect, so that the Old Emperor and Your Majesty will reunite sooner. That money originally belonged to Your Majesty, you do not need to reimburse me." He thought that if you, father and son, reunite sooner, the time I have to become a little monk would be reduced by several days; while at the same time he was covering his own back, just in case someday someone lodged an accusation against him by saying that during the search of Oboi's home he embezzled a huge sum of money, then he would say, "I have already donated the money on Mount Wutai on your behalf, what else do you want to investigate about?"
When Kangxi heard this, he was even happier; he nodded his head repeatedly and asked, "Is Mount Wutai fun?" Immediately Wei Xiaobao described the scenery of Mount Wutai. Kangxi listened with keen interest; he said, "Xiao Guizi, you go first, I will come soon. We have to think of a way to get Fu Huang back to the Palace. If the Senior is determined not to return to normal life and regain the throne, he could meditate in the Palace; won't that be the same?"
Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said, "I am afraid that would be very difficult ..."
Suddenly they heard the sound of boots outside the door, followed by a sharp and clear female voice calling out, "Huangdi Gege [Older brother the Emperor], why didn't you come to have a martial art competition with me?" While saying that, 'bang, bang bang!' she knocked the door as hard as she could.
Kangxi's face showed a faint smile as he said, "Open the door."
Wei Xiaobao thought, "Who is that? Could it be she is Princess Jianning?" Walking to the door, he lifted up the bolt and opened the door.
Like a whirlwind a girl wearing crimson embroidered clothes rushed in; she said, "Huangdi Gege, I have waited for a long time, you did not show up. You must be afraid of me, aren't you?"
Wei Xiaobao saw this girl was approximately fifteen, with an oval face and thin lips, her facial feature showed that she was quick-witted, there was a hint of heroic spirit in her mannerism.
Kangxi laughed and said, "Who's afraid of you? I'll say you can't even beat my disciple, you are not even worthy to fight me."
The young girl was surprised. "You have received a disciple?" she asked, "Who is it?"
Kangxi winked his left eye to Wei Xiaobao and said, "This is my disciple, Xiao Guizi; his martial art came from me." Turning to Wei Xiaobao he said, "Quickly pay your respect to your Shigu [martial aunt] Princess Jianning."
"Indeed she is Princess Jianning," Wei Xiaobao mused. He knew that the Old Emperor fathered six daughters; five died in childhood, only this princess grew up. [Author's note: Actually, Princess Jianning was Qing Taizong's[1] daughter, or Shunzhi's younger sister. The title Head Princess Jianning was bestowed only during Kangxi's sixteenth year. Shunzhi's daughter, Princess Heshuo, was actually Kangxi's older sister, who married Oboi's nephew. But in this novel, everything does not necessarily have to fit with historical fact; scholars and well-learned people do not need to perform an in-depth investigation.] She was the daughter of the Empress Dowager. Wei Xiaobao was extremely afraid of the Empress Dowager, normally he would not go to the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful, while the Princess had never been to the Emperor's study room. Consequently, today was the first time that they met each other.
Listening to Kangxi, Wei Xiaobao knew that the brother and sister loved to play around; thereupon he readily complied to please them. With a tee-hee giggle he stepped forward to pay his respect, "Shizhi [martial nephew] Xiao Guizi kowtowed in salute to senior Shigu; wishing Shigu ten thousand golden good fortunes …"
Princess Jianning also giggled; but suddenly her foot flew up and hit Wei Xiaobao right on his chin. This kick arrived without the least bit or warning, Wei Xiaobao was bending one leg, bowing in front of her foot, how could he evade? He had not finished speaking, his chin suddenly got heavy kicked; his lower jaw closed, biting his own tongue. "Ah!" he cried out in severe pain. When he opened his mouth, fresh blood streamed down the front of his lapel.
Kangxi was shocked. "You … you …" he stammered.
Princess Jianning laughed and said, "Huangdi Gege, your disciple's martial art skill is totally useless; I kicked him to test his skill, unexpectedly he could not evade. I think your own martial art skill is more or less just like this." Finished speaking, she giggled happily.
Wei Xiaobao was furious, in his heart he cursed several dozen times, 'stinky little mother, rotten little miss'; but in the Palace, Princess was his master, how could he dare to curse openly even for a word?
Expressing his sympathy, Kangxi asked Wei Xiaobao, "How is it? Your tongue is bitten? Is it very painful?"
With a forced laughed Wei Xiaobao replied, "Not too bad, not too bad!" But since his tongue was bitten, he could not talk clearly.
Copying his voice, Princess Jianning said, "Not too bad, not too bad! Most of my life has gone bad!" And then she broke out in laughter. Pulling Kangxi's hand, she said, "Come on, let's have a martial art match."
When the Empress Dowager taught Kangxi martial art earlier, Princess Jianning was watching with keen interest, so she nagged at her mother to teach her as well, and the Empress Dowager taught her a little bit. Seeing her mother was half-hearted, only taught her with far less attention she gave to her brother, in her desire to outdo others, she went to the Palace's Imperial Bodyguards and asked them to teach her boxing. Learning several moves from the east, training several styles from the west, she had been practicing diligently for two, three years, unexpectedly she made some progress.
These past several days she had learned several moves of qin na [grab and capture/grappling] techniques and had tested the new skill against the Imperial Bodyguards. Naturally everybody was yielding to her, they all put on an act and the little princess managed to rout them out completely. Yet she knew these Imperial Bodyguards were trying to make her happy, and was dissatisfied instead, thereupon she came to her Huangdi Gege to get him to have a martial art match with her.
Kangxi has not had any sparring with Wei Xiaobao for quite a long time, his hands and feet were itching, so he agreed to indulge his imperial younger sister and happened to have a match with her once. The two of them sparred in the small palace hall. Kangxi was half-hearted, half yielding and half serious; from five rounds, he won four. Princess Jianning was unbearably angry; she came back to her mother and badgered her to teach her some new moves.
The Empress Dowager was just recovering from her heavy injury, her vitality had not yet returned, so she expelled her out. Princess Jianning had no alternative but went to find Imperial Bodyguards again and learned qin na some more, and made an appointment with Kangxi today to have a match.
Unexpectedly Wei Xiaobao returned to the Palace and had a long talk, so that Kangxi forgot about this martial art match altogether. Obtaining news about his father emperor, Kangxi had mixed feelings of grief and joy, his heart and spirit were perturbed, how could he have any interest to play with his sister? He said, "Right now I have a very important matter to attend to, I don't have time to play with you. Go and train some more, we will have a match in a few days."
[1] Posthumous title of Hung Taiji (1592-1632), eighth son of Nurhaci; reigned 1626-1636 as Second Khan of Later Jin dynasty, then founded the Qing dynasty and reigned 1636-1643 as Emperor.

15 of America's Favorite Regional Sweets
There are still places where a trip to the candy store doesn't mean a Snickers or a Twix, but a souvenir worth writing home about—because you're likely to eat it before it gets there. Just in time for Valentine's Day, here are 15 of America's most storied treats.
The old adage about being happier than a kid in a candy store holds true, both at home and on the road. For Pittsburgh's Jon H. Prince, it's a Goldenberg's Peanut Chew that brings him back to childhood. And he knows candy: He's president of McKeesport Candy Company, where you can find 2,800 different types of confections (including many listed below). "Sweets are a unique window into social history," says Prince. In the Pacific Northwest, that history comes in a variation on the Turkish Delight made with apples and apricots from the local harvest. In Wisconsin, it's a candy so beloved that protests were staged when the factory closed. And in the south, it's all about the pralines, as it has been for 300 years. As a bonus for travelers, there's no sweeter way to sample local ingredients (macadamia nuts in Hawaii, maple syrup in Vermont, and um, salt water in New Jersey) than via local sweets. So ready your insulin pump for a tour of 15 treats worth crossing state lines.
Idaho: Idaho Spud
Of the 13 billion pounds of Idaho potatoes grown annually, none are as sweet as these spuds: coconut-flecked dark chocolate surrounding a springy cocoa-flavored marshmallow center. No actual potato here! But like the venerable veg, they're nothing if not versatile. Melt 'em down for fondue or ice cream topping, whip them Bavarian style into a pie, or pop 'em in the freezer for a ice-cream-like treat—or, you know, straight out of the package just like folks in the Gem State have been doing since 1918.
Get it: The confection was invented by Boise's Idaho Candy Company, which offers tours of the factory and has a shop onsite. idahospud.com; $4.99 for a pack of six.
Hawaii: Chocolate-Covered Macadamia Nuts
Honolulu's Ellen Dye Candies was the first to market the chocolate-dipped nuts back in 1927. The "Godiva of the Pacific" sold the company to Mamoru Takitani 33 years later. Under the new tiki banner Hawaiian Host, Takitani perfected the recipe and created a brand as iconic today as the crunchy milk chocolatey spheres are addictive. Descendents of the Dye family got back in the game in 2010 with varieties that include a touch of chili pepper, ginger, and sea salt all hand-dipped in haute chocolate made from locally grown and roasted cacao.
Get it: Order online from Waimea Chocolate Company (waimeachocolatecompany.com; from $8 for a six-piece box). Or find more mass-market brands—Hawaiian Host, Mauna Loa—anywhere and everywhere on the islands (around $6 for 14 pieces).
California: Turtles
It's a story too sweet to be true. Legend has it that back in 1932 Los Angeles, See's Candies chef Louis "Gordy" Hooper wooed Bobbi in the packing department with a surprise gift of soft vanilla caramel and chocolate poured over toasted pecans, inspired by her pet turtles. It took off, and so did the lovebirds, forming their own company up in Oakland and delivering orders on a beat-up Harley Davidson (allegedly a gift/blessing from Mary See herself). The candies have survived, but alas, the meet-cute doesn't have legs.
Get it: Turtles went mass market and are sold in drug stores nationwide. For a more local version, See's sells the treats under the name pecan buds at the company's numerous old-timey, black-and-white stores on the West Coast. sees.com; $20.40 for a one-pound box.
New Mexico: Bizcochito
Biscochitos in the north, biscochos in the south—or simply "that cookie grandma makes"—bizcochitos (with a "z") were christened as America's first official state cookie in 1989. Anise and cinnamon combine with a touch of wine or brandy in these Latin-inflected shortbread crumblies, first introduced by Spaniards to then-Mexico in the 16th century and now a staple at Christmas celebrations as well as quinceañeras and weddings (the traditional diamond shape represents purity). The secret to the flaky melt-in-your-mouthness? Love. And lard.
Get it: Golden Crown Panaderia sells classic bizcochitos in their Albuquerque shop and online (goldencrown.biz; $4 a dozen in store; $16.95 a pound online) Osito's Biscochitos spices things up with a raspberry/habanero version (biscochitos.net; $39.99 for a 92-count tin).

Contributors to gasbuddy.com have reported that the cheapest gasoline station in Bellaire was Valero at 4439 Bissonnet St. and Newcastle Street. this station was listed to have sold a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline at $3.19, and it was also offering the lowest gasoline price in the area last week. this gas rate was lower compared to the averages for Texas and the United States, while a few cents higher than the Houston average. on the other hand, three other gasoline stations in the area were charging more, according to gasbuddy.com. Shell at 5910 West Loop S. and Fournace Place was reported as charging a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline at $3.26. Meanwhile, both Chevron at 5020 Bellaire Blvd. and South Rice Avenue and Texaco at 6512 S. Rice Blvd. and Bissonnet Street were identified by users to have charged $3.27 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. these rates were more expensive compared to the Texas and national averages.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Gulf Coast residents are marking the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina today by casting wreaths into the water to remember the hundreds killed and listening to their leaders promise a brighter future. But part of the catastrophe lives on in abandoned homes with spray-painted circles indicating whether bodies were found inside after the storm and resulting flood.
President Barack Obama joined those hailing the recovery made so far in New Orleans, which he said has become a "symbol of resilience and community."
Former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial, now president of the National Urban League, says the neighborhood down river from the French Quarter known as the Lower 9th Ward is "hallowed ground now." That's where hundreds died and many homes have not been rebuilt.

I've heard from a lot of people that LEGO can be washed in the dishwasher, but I'm concerned about warping, losing stickers, wearing off of painted pieces, etc. Is it safe to actually wash them in the dishwasher? Is there any other precaution you should take?
I have had good experiences when putting them into a washing bag. Stickers will usually come off. Paint differs from model, year and make. Some of my bricks from the 80'ies (such as this one) still look very new, with the original print intact. | |||||
LEGO does not recommend using a dishwasher to clean your bricks: (emphasis mine) | |||||
The real answer here is no, but please have a look at my answer to this other question for an alternative that really works, bringing them up as new, with only a little elbow grease - a bath of Milton solution. | |||
At some point, LEGO recommended the use of a washing machine instead of a dishwasher, since you could limit the temperature to 40°. However, you'll need to make sure all parts are safely enclosed in a cloth (pillow case for example), and don't expect your bricks not to be scratched at all. | |||

Chapter 180 of the Laws of 2000, the Schools Against Violence in Education(SAVE), required that applicants for teaching and administrative and public services personnel certification and perspective employees of covered schools (school districts, charter schools and BOCES) must undergo fingerprint-supported criminal history background check. However, many school districts and institutions across the metropolitan New York area are now requiring that all students teachers, observers, interns or externs receive fingerprint clearance before they are place in educational settings that are required for their degree programs. Therefore, we recommend that you apply for fingerprint clearance upon acceptance to the program. Fingerprinting can be completed through appointments arranged by the Office of Educational Support Services. International students in teacher education programs, should contact the office for special instructions. (516) 463-5747
Fingerprinting is held in the
Office of Educational Support Services
School of Education,
Room 129 Hagedorn Hall
All students are required to be cleared for fingerprints for all field placements and New York State Certification. Fingerprint clearance from other states will NOT be accepted by the New York State Education Department.
If you have been previously fingerprinted by the City of New York (DOE), you can fill out an OSPRA 104 from which will forward a copy of your prints from the DOE to the New York State Education Department. For more information visit http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/ospra/nycprovisions.html

More About Jim Henson's Tale of Sand by Jim Henson; Jerry Juhl; Ian Herring; Ramon K. PerezOverviewDiscovered in the archives, "A Tale of Sand" is an original graphic novel adaptation of an unproduced, feature-length screenplay written by Henson and his frequent writing partner Juhl. "A Tale of Sand" follows scruffy everyman, Mac, who wakes up in an unfamiliar town, and is chased across the desert of the American Southwest by all manners of man and beast of unimaginable proportions. 152 pp.

Based on an unproduced feature-length screenplay by legendary visionary Henson and Juhl, this graphic novel follows its hapless protagonist as he is cast out into the desert by the cheerful Sheriff Tate for reasons as baffling to the unnamed hero as the reader. The scruffy hero is a pawn in a game whose rules are concealed from him, pursued across a surrealistic southwest U.S. by an implacable hunter and hindered by the eccentric, bizarre inhabitants of the great desolation. The prize waiting for him at the end of the chase, should he survive to reach the end, is one he will never guess at. While best known as the creator of the Muppets, Henson was a man of multiple gifts. More than two decades after his untimely death, Pérez has brought to life a little-known side of Henson's storytelling skill. The story eschews extensive dialogue, making events dependent on Pérez's ability to convey Henson's vision. Instead of trying to merely make a movie storyboard, Pérez chooses to make this pure comics, using an animated style somewhat reminiscent of Darwyn Cooke and stunning coloring that uses different palettes—muted pastels or striking duotone—to tell the story. An eccentric oddity, lovingly rendered into a haunting story. (Feb.)

Then I installed the fork deflectors and no more head buffeting even on the interstate. Now I can finally ride my bike and enjoy the experience. In my honest opinion these things should be standard on every cruiser. No need to sell a bike that beats the crap out of your customer when you can do something about it.

Kuryakyn Royal Riding Sheepskin Seat Pads Ray (Saratoga Springs, NY) Fit Quality Installation Recommend good Do a lot of long distant rides with my wife, she likes riding but around the 300 mile marker she starts shifting alot. I tried a few lesser gel pads with no luck but this one seems to do the trick. She used it on a 400+ mile foliage ride and made it without one complaint. Great product easy on and off didnt have to remove the seat to add tie downs. Locked it in saddle bags at stops to keep it safe and dry. Read All Reviews Expand [+]Less [-]
Kuryakyn Mega Grip Smartphone Holder with Handlebar Mount Patrick (Denison, TX) Fit Quality Installation Recommend Works great! It took me a few minutes to figure out how to put it together, but it mounts solidly to the handlebar on my Yamaha FZ-1. It handles the rough side roads around here without losing its adjustment. The elastic bands get in the way of the touchscreen a bit, but I'm glad for the security. If it breaks, one of my wife's ponytail things should work fine. Read All Reviews Expand [+]Less [-]

Piper, Laurence; Nadvi, Lubna (Zed Books, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: This chapter seeks to explore the character of popular mobilization in South Africa, mostly at the local level. This is done through exploring the interaction of two independent processes. The first concerns the relative empowerment of political parties and the disempowerment of civil society (especially social movements) by the democratization process in South Africa. The second concerns the introduction of new institutions of public participation in local governance. Hence, while the latter are portrayed as 'invited spaces' in which communities can engage the local state constructively, the poor design of these spaces, a lack of genuine will on the part of elites and the relative power of key social actors mean that, in practice, they are either meaningless processes or simply co-opted by political parties. Notably, civil society has tended either to disengage from the local state and focus on provincial and national levels, or to resort to forms of popular protest to be heard by local government – the non-governmental organization (NGO) sector usually favouring the first approach and social movements the second.

Africa, Cherrel; van Rooyen, Garth (SUN Press, 2012)[more][less]
Abstract: Small parties and independents play an important role in South Africa's democracy. It is on the level of the local that these small parties and independents have some chance to make indents in terms of winning a few wards that could turn them into council kingmakers, or at least represent some particular local constituency needs. This chapter examines the multitude of small and micro-parties, as well as independent candidates in the 2011 local government elections. It first features classification-based endeavours to 'make sense of this multitude of often-neglected but crucial political players in South Africa'. The classifications use the number of contesting candidates and election outcomes as the two classificatory principles. The chapter also explores the increase in contestation by independent candidates. Thereafter it investigates the details of their results, and the reasons for their largely dismal displays in local election 2011. The chapter concludes that while these political actors remain largely in an underworld of small and micro-parties, they retain enthusiasm for electoral contestation, thus continuing to add value to multi-party democracy in South Africa.

Impingement syndrome
Impingement syndrome is a common condition affecting the shoulder often seen in aging adults. This condition is closely related to shoulder bursitis and rotator cuff tendonitis. These conditions may occur alone or in combination.
In virtually all parts of your body, bones are the innermost structures and are surrounded by muscles. When an injury occurs to the rotator cuff muscles, they respond by swelling. However, because the rotator cuff muscles are surrounded by bone, when they swell, a series of other events occur.
The pressure within the muscles increases, which results in compression and loss of blood flow in the small blood vessels. When the blood flow decreases, the muscle tissue begins to fray like a rope. Motions such as reaching up behind the back and reaching up overhead to put on a coat or blouse, for example, may cause pain.

Towns are claimed areas of land that allow people pre-partitioned areas to build in. Towns offer protection - fire won't spread, people can't break your stuff without permission, and mobs can't enter the town boundaries unless enabled. (see the links at the bottom for commands)
Find any towns to join with:
/town list
If you're Legendary or higher you may sell your beginner plots and venture off to create a new town. Starting a town costs $500 for the first 16x16 home block and $50 for each additional plot claimed. You may place all plots available for sale and post an announcement sign near spawn with the warp for your town.
Once you buy a plot, other users may not build or destroy on your plot. We will automatically release the plot if you have not signed in to the server in one month. Each town may collect taxes, has it's own spawn point, etc.
Joining A Town
Some towns may require invitation first. To check if towns are open to join with or without invitation, use
/town list
After each town listed, you may see a [open]. This means that you can join the town without an invitation from the mayor or an assistant. To join an [open] town (towns with [open] do not require invitation), use:
/town join [name]
If you have been invited to a town a dialogue will appear in your chat.
To join the town, use
/t accept
To deny the request, use
/t deny
Starting a Town
Find an area with a lot of open land. No existing buildings or plots should be near it. You need to leave plenty of room to grow. If you want, we can temporarily redirect all new players to your town so you can have residents.
It might be easiest to ask a lead mod to help you figure out where the chunk boundaries are. A mod with worldedit can find them much faster.
First, you need to leave the town you're in. This mean you're giving up any and all existing plots.
Warning: When you leave a town, you will lose access to your home and chests. Moderators will NOT help you move forgotten items.
Leave any existing town with:
/town leave
Start your town with:
/town new [townname]
Now you need to deposit some money into the town bank so that it can afford plots.
/town deposit [amt]
Then, walk around to a few neighboring 16x16 chunks and claim them:
/town claim
Before you may sell them, you need to set a price, and optionally, taxes:
/town set plotprice [amt]
/town set plottax [amt]
Now, visit each plot you want to sell.
/plot fs
Take plots down that are for sale.
/plot nfs
That's it! To invite existing users to buy plots in your town, type:
/town add [username]
They will also need to leave any existing town.
If you want new users to buy plots in your town, we can make it their default for a day or two. Just ask botskonet (owner). You need to have some basic roads, the plots clearly marked, and trees in each plot (which lead mods may help you do).
The purchased money, and all taxes are put into you town bank account. You may use those funds to claim new land and grow, and you may withdraw some money for yourself.
Use //chunk
to select your current chunk (see video/wiki for explanation). If you have installed the client-side WorldEdit visualizer (I strongly recommend) you can easily see where the chunk is, and may add plots and plan roads/boundaries much better.

http://shop.rothco.com/p/ultra-force-tiger-stripe-poly-cotton-twill-b-d-u-pantsYes. Thats the one. I'm 5'8" and 160. The waist is pretty slim, but the thigh and calfs are pretty big.
These are the correct ones then, yeah?
So is the sizing between the two any different? I'm athletic, so my thighs are large for my build, I sometimes have to size up to 33 if the cut is super slim. Can't a tailor just fix the legs/butt area, or can they only taper?

I have a pair and I like them. They're not too slim but not baggy. Sort of like a slim-straight fit. The print isn't the strongest camo (more subtle for camo) if that makes sense. Quality I'd say is good. I bought my pair on sale so I can't complain. I'd say go true to size or try them on before making a decision.
I'm planning on buying a pair of these dockers alpha khaki this weekend...anybody have a pair already? What's the quality and fit on these?
Damn it feels good to be a Hansum.
Buy my brand new DS Supreme stuff: http://hypebeast.com/forums/apparel/170083/1/
Can some one who has purchased Propper, or Rothco BDU Shirts tell me how they fit? I know the sizing is kinda spotty on them. I cant determine whether I should go Small or XSmall. Any help appreciated.
