I said oh thought it was at noon will get my stuff together, […] started getting ready an took a quick shower... when i had the door open taking stuff out... the guy from the desk came to the door and shouted gotta check out now, was only 11:25am.

There has been a lot of discussion about regulatory compliance on the announcement thread for these radios.
I thought I should explain a bit about why these radios don't already have compliance certificates, and what you can do to get involved in an effort to get them certified. I should first note that I don't work for 3DRobotics - I'm just a volunteer ArduPilot developer who happens to be very interested in these radios. I also wrote most of the radio firmware. So this is not an official 3DRobotics statement.
The basic idea with regards to regulatory compliance is that these are DIY radio parts. It is our understanding that, at least in the US and Australia, it is quite OK to use radios that comply with the relevant standards without getting them officially certified. Other countries have different rules.
So why didn't 3DRobotics get them certified anyway? Part of the problem is that the firmware is being rapidly developed, with new features regularly added. Under some certification systems that may mean re-certifying each firmware. That would cost a lot, and push up the cost of the radios.
The second problem is that there are so many different certification systems. There is FCC in the US, C-Tick in Australia, CE in Europe etc etc. Sometimes it may be possible to get quicker/cheaper certification of one type if you already have another type, but it is still complex.
So what do you do if you want to use/distribute these radios in a way that requires certification? I think the only reasonable answer is for the community to solve the problem. If someone puts their hand up to volunteer to do the legwork to get these radios certified in some area then they could share the results here and hopefully make life easier for someone else to work on certification elsewhere.
Meanwhile, if you post something about certification, please try to make sure you do your research carefully to make sure the information is accurate. If we can build a community effort around this then I think we can solve it together.
Cheers, Tridge
Hi Jake,
I know we are lucky to be able to do the "Self Cert", just not willing to do that unless it was tested before I put my business on the line, I will look into what Alan said above to see if there is some way forward there :)
OK, lets start with the regs for Self Certification which can be found here.
Now it may look complicated but when you study it it is quite simple. The 3DR radios work on 5 volts or 12volts and are battery powered. That immediately takes them out of -
Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC)
Article 1 states the Directive covers "any equipment designed for use with a voltage rating of between 50 and 1000 V for A.C. and between 75 and 1500 V for D.C, other than the equipment and phenomena listed in Annex II."
The 2 to comply with are (1) Electromagnetic compatibility and possibly (2) Radio and telecommunications terminal equipment. I would have to check further but I think they our outside of the scope for No. 2.
So I believe all it needs is the Electromagnetic compatibility, and I have explained how this can be achieved. We used a room for our tests but because these radios are so small then a small metal box would suffice with a small opening for the
spectrum analyser probe. You then compile a file as outlined in the article which is kept at the business address. Give the file a reference number and enclose a slip with the product stating it has been tested and include the reference number and the name and address of the supplier.
OK there is a bit of work but nothing difficult.
I would guess you can hire a Spectrum Analyser for about £200 pw.
It is something I ould do but unfortunately not at the present time, but I would help with advice.
Just a further thought - if you could get all the documentation from 3DR icluding the submission and results from the FCC then that should be sufficient to self certify without having to do the testing here as 3DR will already have done it.
As long as you have acted in good faith there is unlikely to be any action taken. Anyone holding the appropriate Amatuer Radio Licence could operate them without a CE marking.
3DR only makes the carrier board for the HopeRF module, I'm doubtful they could even certify it if they tried. If they've applied for anything it will be in the FCC database...
Don't see anything.
Jake & Alan,
Thank you so much for the information and help, it's great that you have both added to this chat with some new ideas and possible ways to work with the radios and move this forward, I do have a question on the comments you both made in the last few posts, the "FCC" if I understand correctly is like our Ofcom here in the UK, these people that are in charge of enforcing the rules on the "equipment" used, they make sure that the equipment be it a cordless phone for home use or a HAM radio are within spec and not causing interference to other users on the same or local frequencies, so should the 3DR radio have / not have an approval certification in the USA with the FCC like is needed here in the UK with the CE mark? As in the last few posts it's not the module in question but the sum of all the parts which needs to have the approval / testing?
Unlike the FCC, Ofcom do not test or approve any equipment, it is left to the person or company who place it on the market to ensure it complies. Apparently the 3DR radios are not listed with the FCC.
It is worth reading this.
Basically, you collect documentation for the parts from HopeRF and 3DR and subject the equipment to a test for electromagnetic compatibility (as I previously described). These devices are very low power output and unless way off frequency are unlikely to cause any problem. Radio equipment needs to effectively use the spectrum and not cause harmful interference.
Here is one way round the situation and I have seen it used with other products. You supply the Radio and the aerial separately although they can be both bought at the same time. This is a kit as you have to assemble the aerial onto the board also connect the power supply and load software.
R&TTE Compliance Association TGN 02 Rev 1
Technical Guidance Note on Requirements for Radio Kits
The R&TTED requires that:
"Apparatus complying with all relevant essential requirements shall bear the CE marking. It
shall be affixed under the responsibility of the manufacturer, his authorized representative
within the Community or the person responsible for placing the apparatus on the market.
This includes the identification number of the Notified Body used, if any and the Alert Sign if
Apparatus shall be identified by the manufacturer by means of type, batch and/or serial
number and by the name of the manufacturer or the person responsible for placing the
apparatus on the market"
The manufacturer of the Radio Kit however has no real control over the assembled
equipment and requiring that the assembled equipment (at the user level) needs
identification and CE marking is unrealistic and unnecessary. Although the user is
responsible for the actual use and operation of the assembled product the user can not be
forced to apply any CE marking to the assembled product.
We in the UK have a dedicated frequency of 459Mhz for model control which is well away from the 433Mhz band and virtually unused. It would be really good to get them working on this frequency. I believe it can be done with software.
Hello Alan,
I have looked at the 459 band and the great news is these radios do work on it, Tridge and I had a Skype chat about this application a while back, however until I can get the import / sales / certification questions answered we can't move forward on this, however your help is helping me see a little light at the end of the tunnel. The 459Mhz band is already used by some RC controllers from the open source market, so all this is possible! :) I will be putting some more time into this today, I really would like to get this taken care of!
Your help is great Alan, thank you again.
It is possible that I could certify the modules. If you think that a simple run on a spectrum analyzer is enough to tell that it is meeting the regulatory requirements I could do that at my university.
Someone also needs to check into the other firmware related requirements (duty cycle, hops, etc.). A test firmware that meets these requirements would also be a good idea. It will also have to hold one frequency long enough to settle and get a screenshot.
If it's as easy as it sounds I'd have no problem filing the paperwork under my business and certifying all the radios. Too bad the FCC is so much harder to satisfy.
Any traction on this? I'm curious too.
I'm in the US, so FCC stuff follows.
As I understand it, 3DR is staying this is DIY that allows us to utilize the 5 transmitter exemption the FCC allows, the rule for this is 15.23 and is titled "home built devices". It states "(a) Equipment authorization is not required for devices that are not marketed, are not constructed from a kit, and are built in quantities of five or less for personal use."
I don't think the 3DR radios would fall under that category. I'm not clear where a "Kit" built unit would fall. I'm not sure what makes something a "kit". I don't know that the 3DR radios are a kit anyway, don't they come fully assembled and all you have to do is plug them in, attach an antenna and perhaps configure them?
I don't think they fall into the Amateur band either, although the Amateur band is allowed at 902-928 MHz. It is my understanding that you must transmit your call sign periodically for compliance and that the operator must have a license granted by the FCC to operate a Transmitter. I don't think the 3DR radios transmit a call sign, nor is there a provision to do so.
Those exclusions tend to push my thoughts that this is a 15.247 transmitter, or perhaps 15.249, or even 15.231 if the power level were much lower.
I've run a few transmitters through the certification process for each of these rules and am reasonably familiar with what's required...Top of the list, each of these require an FCC ID with a submitted report and a certification from the FCC. An FCC label is required on the device...or if the device is too small, in the operating manual.
The process of certification is not easy and the measurements are difficult too...they require highly specialized equipment and even certified locations where the tests are performed.
It's not something that you can do "at home".

(CNN) -- The city manager of Cambridge, Massachusetts, said Sunday that he will not allow deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev to be buried in the city if such a request is made. "The difficult and stressful efforts of the citizens of the City of Cambridge to return to a peaceful life would be adversely impacted by the turmoil, protests, and widespread media presence at such an interment," Cambridge City Manager Robert W. Healy said in a statement. Tsarnaev lived in a small apartment in Cambridge before he died in a firefight with police days after the April 15 attack.

Ways to Deal with Menopause Symptoms
Hot Flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping, vaginal dryness, and other symptoms can occur before or during the onset of Menopause. While none sound fun, menopause is natural.
Concerns have been raised over Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) safety when used long-term. This and other factors have some women experiencing symptoms moving to alternative therapies in the fight against symptoms of menopause. These women prefer to fight "naturally," rather than suffer through it.
While there has been limited research on Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) related to menopause treatment, and results have been inconclusive for a number of reasons, some women swear by one or more of these (taken from a MayoClinic.com page on Menopause and Alternative medicine, and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine's web page on Menopausal Symptoms and CAM):

A review of the fine print in Ohio law could spell trouble for
Duke Energy in its dispute with Cincinnati about who must pay to move utility
lines to accommodate the city's streetcar project.
Readers of CityBeat's March 6 cover story know that one of the legal arguments made by Duke Energy is that it said the system qualifies as a utility itself under Ohio law. And one utility has no legal obligation to reimburse another utility, Duke added.
City officials disagree with Duke's interpretation, and the two sides currently are trying to negotiate a compromise to the impasse.
The city is willing to pay $6 million to relocate Duke's natural gas, chilled water, fiber and electrical infrastructure along the streetcar route, but the firm insists it will cost at least $18.7 million and possibly more.
A close reading of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), however, reveals it is unlikely that a streetcar system qualifies as a "public utility."
Under Ohio law, the following items are defined as public utilities:
"A motor transportation company, when engaged in the
business of carrying and transporting persons or property or the business of
providing or furnishing such transportation service, for hire, in or by motor-propelled
vehicles of any kind, including trailers, for the public in general,
over any public street, road, or highway in this state." ORC §4905.03
But motor-propelled vehicles aren't defined under Ohio law. The ORC does, however, define "motor vehicle" as:
"(B) "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle, including mobile homes and recreational vehicles, that is propelled or drawn by power other
than muscular power or power collected from overhead electric trolley wires.
"Motor vehicle" does not include utility vehicles as defined in division (VV)
of this section, motorized bicycles, road rollers, traction engines, power
shovels, power cranes, and other equipment used in construction work and not
designed for or employed in general highway transportation, well-drilling
machinery, ditch-digging machinery, farm machinery, and trailers that are
designed and used exclusively to transport a boat between a place of storage
and a marina, or in and around a marina, when drawn or towed on a public road
or highway for a distance of no more than ten miles and at a speed of
twenty-five miles per hour or less." ORC
Streetcars operate using overhead trolley wires, thus they aren't considered
motor vehicles under Ohio law. But do they even qualify as vehicles? The ORC
defines vehicles as:
"(A) "Vehicles" means everything on wheels or runners, including motorized bicycles, but does not mean electric personal assistive mobility devices, vehicles that are operated exclusively on rails or tracks or from overhead electric trolley wires, and vehicles that belong to any police department, municipal fire department, or volunteer fire department, or that are used by such a department in the discharge of its functions." ORC §4501.01(A)
Of course, streetcars run on rails and use power from electric
trolley wires. So, they aren't vehicles either. The conclusion: Either "motor-propelled vehicles" mean the same as "motor
vehicles" (in which case it doesn't apply to streetcars) or "motor-propelled"
is an adjective to "vehicle" (which also doesn't apply, as streetcars aren't
vehicles). In each instance, a streetcar system doesn't fall into the legal realm of a "motor transportation company" and therefore isn't a "public utility."

Critic scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more favorable reviews.
The result is a picture curiously yet intriguingly at odds with itself: One moment is edgy, the next is not; the cast is terrific, the direction is not; here it's satirically sharp, there it's sloppily sentimental; now we're happily engaged, then we're cruelly dumped. Some films are electric – Admission settles for alternating current. Read full review

Audi Outsells Mercedes-Benz Globally For First Time in Q1 2010
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
The apocalypse is nigh. How else can we explain how, for the first time ever, Audi managed to outsell Mercedes-Benz in global sales for the first quarter of 2010? Before we break out our Mayan calendars and go all 2012 on you, here are the hard numbers: Audi sold 264,100 vehicles worldwide between January and March while Mercedes sold 248,500 units over the same time period. For what it's worth, BMW has yet to release its final first-quarter sales figures.
On second thought, perhaps we should be holding back our inner Nostradamus. Audi has repeatedly signaled its desire and intent to become the world's leading luxury car brand by 2015, which would mean passing both of its German rivals, the aforementioned Mercedes-Benz and BMW, along with Japanese automaker Lexus. Plus, Audi offers a pretty compelling lineup of vehicles with which to do battle with those formidable competitors.
According to Autocar, the biggest single contributor to Audi's passing of Mercedes-Benz is the Chinese market, where Audi sells twice as many vehicles per year as Mercedes-Benz. In fact, one out of every five Audis built is sold in China. Considering how rapidly the Chinese market is expanding, Audi is certainly finding itself in an enviable position. Time will tell if it's able to maintain that growth in the face of constant pressure from its German and Japanese rivals.

For some people, spring begins with the first dark robin; for others, with the first tender asparagus in the supermarket. For me, it isn't really spring until I see the bridesmaids. Each year, whenever the sunshine and their mood match – in New England that could be two short weeks any time from late April through late June – about 2/10 of a mile of my drive to and from work is illuminated by a straight line of fluffy-topped trees blossomed into pink bouquets. Their position beside a church, always reminds me of bridesmaids waiting for the bride to emerge from her limo. I often wish that someone had thought to plant a white flowering tree at the end of the row.
In later weeks, they continue their show sending flurries of pink flowers into the sapphire sky – or lending color to a gray one – and landing as a rose-colored carpet that lasts only a few hours, a reminder that the snow it gone for awhile and the garden is safe for planting lettuces. Soon, it will be safe to move those tomato plants outdoors.
For now, I'd like to toss up something to match. This spring green salad should have only the slightest color provided by the shaved radishes.
For 6 servings you will need:
a can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed well
a bulb fennel trimmed and sliced as thinly as possible, save the frilly fronds at the top
a bunch radishes, trimmed and sliced as thinly as possible
2 unwaxed cucumbers, cut in half lengthwise, seeded with a melon scoop, and sliced as thinly as possible
a bunch scallions, trimmed, cut very thinly on the diagonal, using the white and half the greens
a bunch fresh mint, leaves picked from stems
18 fresh basil leaves, stacked and rolled together and thinly sliced crosswise (to look like grass)
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves only (optional)
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
coarse sea salt
black ground pepper
6 large leaves romaine or boston lettuce

Now also available as eBook
In recent decades enterprises worldwide have reaped the advantages of hiring employees on a contractual fixed-term basis, thus derogating from their traditional participation in the social protection of workers and insulating themselves from legal liability for unjust dismissal. A broad spectrum of effectiveness has emerged in this development, as different countries have adopted varying measures to regulate the conditions under which fixed-term employment contracts are written, applied, and interpreted. This important book – which reprints papers submitted to the 10th Comparative Labour Law Seminar of the Japan Institute for Labour Policy and Training held in Tokyo on March 8th and 9th, 2010 – details the regulatory approaches to fixed-term contracts in major industrial jurisdictions in Asia and Europe, providing an opportunity to explore normative directions for labour law and policy in the age of a diversified workforce.
Nine knowledgeable and experienced contributors describe and analyse the legal status of fixed-term employment contracts (including relevant case law) in Australia, Britain, China, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan. Among the central issues examined are the following:
• how four EU Member States apply the 1999 directive on fixed-term work;
• working conditions under fixed-term contracts;
• legal consequences of violation of regulations on fixed-term employment contracts;
• exceptions for certain groups of workers;
• permissibility of derogation by collective agreements;
• circumstances under which law on dismissal may be applied to an employer's refusal to renew a fixed-term contract;
• equal treatment between workers on fixed-term contracts and those on open-ended contracts;
• problems fixed-term workers may face in the country's social security system; and
• regulation of reasons for concluding fixed-term contracts.
Each author takes into account evaluations from scholars, policymakers, and stakeholders to his or her country's regulatory approach to fixed-term employment contracts, revealing an array of responses ranging from a view that such contracts enhance employment opportunities in society to advocating suppression of their use as inherently abusive and discriminatory.
The combined effect of these nine essays is to greatly increase our awareness of the nature of fixed-term employment contracts, from their fundamental value as social policy instruments to their inextricable connection with the law of dismissal. The book sets the stage for deeper and more firmly grounded work that promises to elucidate the underlying pattern of a new employer-employee relationship emerging on a worldwide scale.

Classic Car News
Porsche 928 has modern successor
Image: The Car Spy, 2011
The Porsche 928 may not be the best loved model created by this venerable German sports car manufacturer, but it has definitely graduated to the status of a classic over the last couple of decades.
It first arrived in 1978 and was intended to broaden the appeal of Porsche beyond its somewhat more specialised 911 range.
The use of a V8 engine mounted in the front also made the Porsche 928 a bit of a departure for the firm.
However, an interview with Porsche head, Matthias Mueller, conducted by Autonews Europe, has revealed that a modern equivalent to the 928 is in the process of being developed.
It will be based on the Panamera sedan, but will feature a traditional coupe setup and that all-important front mounted engine block.
Mr Mueller said that talks about the 928 successor were also still ongoing and it was all but confirmed to be put into production at some point in the near future.
Those who want to experience a Porsche grand tourer with a front mounted engine at an affordable price can pick up a classic 928 today, in anticipation of the cutting edge follow up that is taking shape in Europe.

What Drafters Do
Drafters use software to convert the designs of engineers and architects into technical drawings and plans. Workers in production and construction use these plans to build everything from microchips to skyscrapers.
Work Environment
Like other workers who primarily use computers to do their work, drafters usually work indoors and full time, although overtime is not uncommon.
How to Become a Drafter
Developments in new technology are causing entry-level requirements to rise. An associate's degree is the typical level of education needed to enter the occupation. In addition, drafters need skills from academic programs so that they may move into the work of designing directly for professionals such as engineers or architects.
The median annual wage of drafters was $47,880 in May 2010.
Job Outlook
Employment of drafters is expected to grow 6 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. Developments in software programs used by drafters and other professionals they work with are changing the nature of drafters' work and how this work will have to be done.

The American Home Rug Company Beach Shells Nouveau Coral Rug
Item #: 265AT072NY-P Add to Wishlist
$120 - $480 + FREE SHIPPINGDescription: The Beach Rug Collection offers fabulous colors in decorative seashore inspired designs perfect for any room with a nautical, tropical, or coastal living decor. Each rug is skillfully hand crafted using high quality yarns and dyes, creating a luxurious pile. Imported from China. 100% Acrylic Pile with No Fringe.
- Collection: Beach
- Brand: The American Home Rug Company
- Material: 100% Acrylic
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: China
- Available in the following sizes: 5' Round, 6' Round, 8' Round, 4' Square, 5' Square, 6' Square and 8' Square
This is a very pretty rug and really brightens up the room; however, I don't think it is going to hold up well. It picks up every single speck of hair or lint and probably wasn't the best choice for me considering I have 2 dogs. I have to vacuum it every single day. The white shells in the rug also turned dingy-looking very quickly from walking on it (or the dogs lying on it) so it is probably best to not wear your outdoor shoes while walking on this rug. I think it would need to be placed in a low-traffic area in a house without pets! It's too bad because it really is a nice looking, soft rug.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I love the rug. I ordered the 5' round,wish it would have been available in a 6' round. Color and quality are excellent!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Much prettier then the picture. Love the nap. Very well made.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love this rug. Very hard to find square rugs with coastal decor and this One is perfect. Color is vibrant and texture is very soft.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.After searching the internet for a 6' round teal rug, I finally found this! It's perfect -great quality, great price, perfect color! Now I need a runner to match.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful! It is thick and feel great under bare feet.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I actually got this in coral, not blue. Easy process. Quick delivery. Color was as it appeared online, which doesn't always happen. I will definitely order from this company again.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The quality of the rug is great! It looks just like it did on the web site. It was delivered in a very timely fashion, and I was able to track it online. The process from start to finish was easy, the prices incredible for the quality and I will order from them again!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was putting this rug in a more traditional space that I was actually trying to modernize a bit and the brightness of the rug made me a bit nervous. But I went for it and it really looks beautiful. It's also a very soft and substantial rug. It was tough finding a rug that was square and also had a fun print. I do wish this had been a bit more discounted! For some reason, this particular rug never seemed to be eligible for the really big sales.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

thanx for the update pokit
thanx for the update pokit
"The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine would be union of a deaf man to a blind woman."
thanks again pikit
anybodey can give me a pointer, is this Lin and Yue kids are in love or what,
may be poppy love? and why LHC bothers having such an affection for a kid?
theyre young adults i think...around 17ish?
LHC+YLS use to be a couple, but the YLS started liking Lin Pingzhi. LHC isnt over YLS yet...and YLS+Ling Pingzhi are most likely going to get married
"The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine would be union of a deaf man to a blind woman."
You should read Lanny's translations... it's all explained there. She's a teenager I guess (not a kid) and yes LHC grew up with her... that's why he had feelings for her.Originally Posted by marktio
you also have to remember there's quite an age gap between LHC and YLS.
She's barely 18 and he's close to 30 i think.
Where as with LPZ, they are closer in age. I also believe YLS realize her love for LHC was more of a brotherly/sisterly love and that with LPZ, she actually did love him.
Check out WXFS translated comic of Tian Long Ba Bu
Last updated: 02/04/2008
I think he's around early to mid 20's
Underneath the fluffly, cudly exterior lies the tormented and complex creature known as the panda.
I don't have the edited version with me so I'll post the update on monday.
Actually this is the age different between LHC and YLS.
"Yue Lingshan was only eight or nine years old and he was only around seventeen or eighteen years old."
thanks pokit for the explanation
i apologize spelling your name wrong before.
i am a bad typist
i am an old man , 64
but i like the story
so LHC is only 8 yrs older than the girl Yue
love is a strange thing, and it is hard to fall out of love, i guess
though i think usually when a man has more than one female friends, it should be easier.
Yue Lingshan softly said, "Little Lin, I didn't mean that your martial art isn't high enough. You're practising so hard that in the future, you'll surely be stronger than me. In fact if you're more familiar with the sword art right now and we fight in a real battle, I probably wont be your match."
Lin Pingzhi laughed lightly and said, "Only if you use your left hand then maybe we can have a competition."
"I'll help you look around. You're already too familiar with this house so you won't notice anything strange. But maybe I'll be able to recognise something," said Yue Lingshan.
Lin Pingzhi said, "Alright. Go have a look and see if there's something strange here."
After that Linghu Chong heard the sound of drawers and tables being pulled. After some time, Yue Lingshan said, "Everything is so ordinary here. Is there any unusual place in this house?"
Lin Pingzhi thought for a while and said, "Unusual place? No."
Yue Lingshan asked, "Where's the courtyard to practise martial art?"
Lin Pingzhi said, "We don't have a courtyard to practise martial art here. When my great grandfather opened the escort house, he moved everything and lived there. Both my grandfather and father also lived and practised their martial art in the escort house. Also, dad said the word "read", what's there to read in the courtyard?"
Yue Lingshan said, "That's true. Let's go to your family's study room and have a look."
Lin Pingzhi said, "We're an escort house. We have an accounting room but no study room. The accounting room is also in the escort house."
Yue Lingshan said, "That thing is really hard to find. What's there to read in this house?"
Lin Pingzhi said, "I've been pondering over what big brother told me. He said dad told me not to read what great grandad left me. But I think that this sentence might be the other way around, it might be that my dad was telling me to look for this thing left by my great grandad in this old house (Translator's note: the words in Chinese are rearranged to come up with the second interpretation.). But what's there to read in this house? I've been searching all over this place but I've only found my great granddad's Buddhist scriptures."
Yue Lingshan jumped up and clapped her hands. She said, "Buddhist scriptures! That's very good. Ancestor Da Mo left sword manuals inside Buddhist scriptures. So it's not uncommon for this."
When Linghu Chong heard what Yue Lingshan said, he got excited. He thought, "If martial brother Lin can find that sword manual inside a Buddhist scripture then it'll be good. He won't suspect me of embezzling him anymore."
But he heard Lin Pingzhi said, "I've already thought of this. I've read not only one or two scriptures, or even eight or ten scriptures. I'm afraid I've even read more than one hundred scriptures. I've gone and bought Jingang scripture, Fahua scripture, Xin scripture, Lengqie scripture and compared them all with my great granddad's Buddhist scriptures. But not one word is different. They're all normal scriptures."
Yue Lingshan said, "Then there's no point reading them."
She thought deeply and suddenly said, "Have you looked in between the scriptures binding?"
Lin Pingzhi pondered, "The binding? I haven't thought of that. Let's go take a look."
They each took a candle and walked out of the room hand in hand going towards the back courtyard. While Linghu Chong followed them from the top of the house by looking at lights coming out of the windows. They finally arrived at a room facing the northwest. Linghu Chong followed them and went down to the courtyard. He then peeped through a crack in the window.
Inside the room was a Buddhist hall. A water painting of Da Mos back was hung in the middle of the room. It was portraying the period of nine years when Da Mo meditated facing a wall. At the east side of the hall were a very old kneeling mat and a meditation table. On the table were a wooden fish, a small wooden hammer and a closed Buddhist scripture. Linghu Chong thought, "This was the place where Senior Lin established the Fortune Prestige Escort House. During those days, his name shook the world and he must have killed quite a few people. In his later years, he must have come here to confess for his killings." He then imagined a grand hero of the Jianghu, with his long white hair flying around, sitting alone in this hall, immersed in reading Buddhist scriptures while striking the wooden fish.
Yue Lingshan picked a scripture up and said, "Let's take apart the scriptures and see if we can find this thing in the binding. If we can't find anything then we'll just patch the scriptures again. What do you think?"
"Alright," answered Lin Pingzhi.
He picked a scripture up and started to pull apart the book-bindings. He then spread the scripture pages around the floor to see if there's any writing on the part of the pages that were bound. While Yue Lingshan took apart another scripture and put up each page in front of the candle to see if there's anything. Linghu Chong was looking at her back but he was able to see her jade white wrist. She was still wearing that silver bracelet on her left hand. Sometimes, he was able to see the side of her face as she gave a look to Lin Pingzhi and smiled at him before going back to take the scriptures apart. He didn't know whether it was because of the candle or because her cheeks had turned red, but the side of her face looked like a ripe peach.
Linghu Chong was standing quietly outside the window feeling sentimental while the two of them tore apart scripture after scripture. Before long, twelve scriptures were torn apart and were now on the table. Suddenly, Linghu Chong heard a sound behind his back. He quickly pulled back from the window and turned his head around. He saw the shadows of two people coming from the south side of the house. They made a hand signal before jumping down to the courtyard and noiselessly landing on the ground. The two of them then went to the window to look inside the Buddhist hall.
After some time, he heard Yue Lingshan disappointingly said, "We've already taken apart all the scriptures. There's nothing there." She was suddenly excited and continued, "Little Lin, I think we should bring over a basin of water."
Lin Pingzhi asked, "For what?"
Yue Lingshan answered, "When I was small, I heard daddy told me a story about manuscripts immersed in acid. Then they would write on it and when it's dried, the letters would disappear. But when the pages were wetted, the letters would appear."
Linghu Chong's heart turned sour as he remembered the time his Master told this story. Yue Lingshan was only eight or nine years old and he was only around seventeen or eighteen years old. Remembering those past days, the memories bubbled over in his heart. He remembered that day when he went with her to catch crickets. He took the biggest and strongest cricket and gave it to her. But her cricket still lost to his in a fight, so she wept incessantly while he tried to comfort her for a long time. Finally, he was able to comfort her before the two of them went to Master to ask him for a story. Remembering these events, tears started to bubble up in his eyes.
Then he heard Lin Pingzhi said, "Right, no harm in trying." As he turned around to go out, Yue Lingshan said, "I'll go with you." The two of them went out hand in hand. Those two people hiding beneath the window were holding their breath and remaining still. After some time, Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan came back to the Buddhist hall with a basin of water. They then soaked seven or eight pages of the scriptures in the basin. Lin Pingzhi couldn't wait anymore and took out a page out of the water and held it up against the candle's light. But there was no new letter appearing on the page. The two of them had tried more than twenty pages but there was still no clue at all. Lin Pingzhi said, "We don't need to test anymore. There's no letters appearing on these pages." After Lin Pinghzhi said these words, those two people hiding beneath the window quietly moved to the door and pushed it open. Lin Pingzhi asked, "Who's there?"
i smell trouble
thanx for the update
"The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine would be union of a deaf man to a blind woman."
Thank you for the update.
This is really getting exciting. I wonder if it will be possible for LHC to forget his first love and heartache and have feelings this strong towards another woman.
first love is difficult to foget.
thanks for the update
A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
The two people rushed in, moving like the wind. Lin Pingzhi lifted his hand ready to fight as one person attacked the side of his body. Yue Lingshan already pulled half her sword out when the enemy's two fingers were thrust towards her eyes. She quickly let go of her sword handle and swept her hand up to block the attack. Without missing a beat, that person changed the direction of his attack and was now stabbing towards her throat. Yue Lingshan was astonished and retreated two steps when she hit the side of the meditation table and couldn't go back anymore. That person immediately lifted his left hand and chopped down on her head. Yue Lingshan raised her two palms to block the attack but unexpectedly this attack was a fake as that person stabbed an acupoint on Yue Lingshan's waist with his right hand. She leaned on the table unable to move.
Linghu Chong saw everything that went on in that room and at the moment wasn't worried about their lives. He was thinking that there was no hurry to save them. Furthermore, he wasn't sure of the background of these enemies. Also, the enemies were looking around the hall right now. One took the kneeling mat and tore it in two. While the other one smashed the wooden fish into seven or eight pieces. Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan were unable to talk or move when they saw these two people tearing the kneeling mat and smashing the wooden fish. It was obvious that they were looking for the Evil Resisting Sword Manual. They both thought the same thing, "How come we didn't think that the sword manual might be in the kneeling mat or the wooden fish." But there was nothing inside the mat or the wooden fish and they both felt happy.
The two intruders were around fifty years old. One was bald and the other one was full of white hair. Those two people moved really fast and before long all the objects on the table were broken to pieces already. They then turned their attention to the portrait of Da Mo. That bald old man extended his hand to grab the portrait but the white-haired old man extended his hand to block it and shouted, "Wait, look at where his finger is pointing to!" Linghu Chong, Lin Pingzhi, and Yue Lingshan immediately looked at the painting. They saw Da Mo's left hand was behind his back holding a sword manual and his right hand was pointing towards the roof.
The bald old man asked, "What's so strange about his fingers?"
The white-haired old man answered, "I don't know! Let's have a look first." He jumped straight up and aimed his two palms at the roof where the portrait of Da Mo was pointing. With a crash, dust and bits of roof tiles started to rain down.
The bald old man asked, "What's there.... " He only said these two words when a red Buddhist robe floated down from the hole in the roof.
The white-haired old man extended his hand and grabbed the robe. He then took a look at it under the candle's light. He said, "It's... it's here." He was overjoyed and his voice was trembling. The bald old man asked, "What?" The white-haired old man said, "Look at it yourself."
Linghu Chong squinted his eyes and saw that there were many small words written on the Buddhist robe. The bald old man said, "Could this be the Evil Resisting Sword Manual?" The white-haired old man said, "Most likely this is the sword manual. Haha, we two brothers have done this great service tonight. Brother, put it away." The bald old man was so happy that his mouth was open as he folded the robe and put it in his bosom. He pointed at Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan with his left hand and asked, "Shall we kill them?" Linghu Chong gripped his sword handle waiting for the white-haired old man to reveal his murderous intention before rushing in there and killing these two old men. Who would have thought that the white-haired old man would say, "We already have the sword manual. Let's not pick a fight with Huashan School. Let them go." The two people then walked out of the Buddhist hall, jumped over the wall and went out.
Linghu Chong immediately jumped over the wall to follow them. Those two old men were extremely quick with their footsteps. Linghu Chong was afraid to lose those two in the dark so he quickened his steps but still kept a distance of twenty feet between them. The two old men went even faster but Linghu Chong kept up with them. Suddenly, they stopped and turned around. Linghu Chong saw a sudden flash of light and felt his right shoulder and right arm hurting. Unexpectedly, his shoulder and arm had already been slashed by their sabres. These two men suddenly stopping, suddenly turning around and suddenly slashing their sabres out were like that of thunder suddenly striking down.
Although Linghu Chong's internal energy was deep and his sword art was brilliant, he was still inferior to first-class fighters by a big level when faced with sudden changes in the battlefield or encountering strange and unusual enemies' skills. The enemies' attacks were so fast that it didn't even need mentioning that he didn't manage to use his sword to fight back. He didn't even have enough time to reach his sword handle before he got heavily injured.
The sabre art of the two old men were very fast as they quickly followed with a second slash. Linghu Chong was startled and hastily jumped back. Fortunately, his internal energy was deep which allowed him to jump back for twenty feet with one leap. He then jumped back again for another twenty feet. These two old men saw that he had been heavily injured but he was still able to jump really fast and far. They were alarmed but they still rushed forward. Linghu Chong quickly turned around and ran away.
Initially, his injured shoulder and arm didn't hurt that much. But now, the pain was so severe that he felt like fainting. He thought, "These two people have stolen the Buddhist robe with the Evil Resisting Sword Manual written on it. I need it to right this injustice I'm being blamed for. I must take it back and return it to martial brother Lin." He endured the pain on his arm and shoulder as he extended his hand to grip his sword handle. As he pulled the long sword out, it stopped halfway. Unexpectedly, his injured right hand was unable to pull the sword out any further. His right hand had no more energy. He then heard the sound of the wind at the back of his head. The enemy's sabre was chopping down on his head. Linghu Chong gathered his qi and quickly leaped forward while his left hand forcibly pulled on his belt tearing it. He then gripped his sword with his left hand and shook it free from the scabbard. When he felt the cold air rushing towards him, he turned around and saw the two sabres chopping down.

wow, Linghu Cong finally got owned since a very long time.
Underneath the fluffly, cudly exterior lies the tormented and complex creature known as the panda.
Hehe, LHC is still very inexperienced. He really is a sucker for surprise attacks =/
wonder who are these 2 elders??
TaZzY InC
Its not that hard to figure out. Let us look at the facts.Originally Posted by Tazzy1972
1> people (claiming) from the Devil Sect kidnap the nuns of heng-shan school.
2> at the same time, people from SongShan school turn up and want to discuss about uniting the 5 schools of the alliance. strangely without any regard for the missing nuns (who they should be considering as their martial sisters)
3> and looking back to the earlier chapters, we can see that SongShan school has stirred many troubles for HuaShan school (e.g. locating the missing members of HuaShan's Sword branch and supporting them for the leadership of HuaShan, the very same night that HuaShan school was attacked by the masked men at the old temple, they coincidently came to the same temple, and amongst other strange coincidences.
looking at these facts it is very easy to figure out that these 2 persons must be members of songshan school. And from that we can see that Zuo Lengchan must be a very ruthless and ambitious person. however there is another person in the 5 schools who is worse then him.
As sherlock holmes would say:
Elementary my dear readers. Elementary.
Can anyone help with this translation? Is this a phrase or there's background story to this?
What a disappointment! After XXDF and leeching so many people and using DG9J, he gets punked by 2 Songshan fighters. Didn't he blind 15 elite Songshan fighters even when he had zero inner energy?
at those times, LHC took the advantage so he was able to injure those 15 people. but now he was following them in the dark and coulddn't see the attack and did not react in time. and it isn't clear these guys are from songshan. if they were, they would have killed lingshan and pingzhi to cover up their identity. they weren't masked and they used sabres. most probably some elders from some unordotox school.What a disappointment!

he's the strongest in history but he's the disciple.
