I will tell you how I met Arthur. I planned to do some paperworks at overseas, because I thought I would be happier if I couldn't see my stupid boss' irritating face.
I decided to take a break from the tedium of my work, stepping out on to the soft sand of the pristine beach. The air was crisp and cool, the wind blowing teasing fingers and fluffing up my hair. The sea was still and calm, the only thing ruining the view was the dark blot of a large ship on the horizon
heading this way. When the ship got close enough to be out of the suns glare, I saw it was a beautifully designed and made galleon, I really want to ride that ship,feel the gleaming timber deck under my feet.
After a few minutes, the boat dropped the anchor, and longboats brought a handful of rew to the shore. I wondered what they were doing here. I saw a tall figure stand and jump down from the boat, his leather boots making the sand crunch. I saw he was a pirate.
He had a blond hair, I'm not sure of his eye color, but I think it was emerald green, He wore a red coat with a simple design on the edges and it was unbuttoned, his long sleeved undershirt was unbuttoned too, leaving his muscular chest exposed. A red sash wrapped around his waist. His ear was full of piercings, and he was wearing an eye patch but that makes him hotter, What!? What am I thinking!?
He walked towards me and took my hand and kissed it.
"Good day to you, love" he said in a calm voice
"G-Good day to you too"
"Are you by yourself?" he asked
"You can tell right?" I replied bluntly
"How rude, I love that" He suddenly tossed me like paper over his shoulder and dragged me in to the longboat. After a few minutes, we were rowed out to the ship.
"H-Hey, What are you doing!? Put me down!" I struggled, I elbowed him on the back but it didn't work, he was damn strong
"Relax, love. I'm not going to hurt you"
"Tell me where are we going and I'll stop"
"I heard that you're so busy doing paperworks huh?" he said as he kicked the door of his cabin and let you sat down on his bed.
"How did you know...?" Is he a stalker? or just have an eye on hell?
"Didn't you know? I'm also a country. Like you"
"Yes, really"
I hate to admit it but I'm amazed, It's my first time seeing a pirate, I lived 200 years and never saw one, The pirate who's standing in front of me was ridiculously handsome, I loved the way he acted like a gentleman but I'm not sure if that was his normal attitude or just acting because I've never heard of a pirate who's also a gentleman. Who cares? as long as he's acting like that! but I feel like I'm in danger...
"Do you live here?" I asked him as I crossed my legs
"Not really, I just wanted to sail and escape from paperwork" he sighed, he removed his hat also his coat and sat beside me.
"Wow? You're in the same boat as me!"
'literally' I added in my head
"I bloody hate paperworks, but even more than that, my boss' face!" he groaned as he lay down with his hands on the back of his head.
'We're the same, I also hate my freaking boss' face!'
Silence built up in the room, I don't know what should I say to him, I'm afraid because I might say something rude since It's my "normal" attitude and he might kill me because of it. I didn't notice that he fell asleep, he looked so careless, sleeping so soundly. I pulled him and let him lie on the pillow. When I arranged his head, he suddenly yanked me and cuddled me tightly.
"Sleep with me..."
"I know you're tired..." he mumbled
Yes, I'm tired but I don't know myself why I didn't refused, I feel like an idiot now, His body is so warm not just because of the sun. I slept like I'm dead, I hadn't slept for almost 2 days! I thought if I slept, I wouldn't wake up for months!
When I woke up, I saw the pirate leaning and sitting on the large window, watching the sea.
"Good morning, love" he smiled at me
"M-Morning!? It's already morning!?"
"Yeah and you were so cute last night" he smirked
"Huh? H-Hey... Did we do something...?"
"What if we did?" he said, raising one thick eyebrow.
'No way...'
Then, he suddenly smiled "Just kidding" he giggled
"Die!" I cursed
After that, he asked me to go outside and eat breakfast. When I stepped foot on the deck, the crew stared at us... no... at me. I hide behind his back.
"What are you looking at, gits?" he snarled
"Don't worry, love, as long as I'm here, they won't hurt you" he reassured me
We ate breakfast as we talked of how crappy our life being a country is, he said he's enjoying his life on seas, he's a pirate but he never robbed people. He told me his name, his name is Arthur Kirkland, he's the Great British Empire/England. You heard some rumours about the British Empire, they won a lot of wars and grew rapidly within 2 years. When we finished our breakfast, we went outside and watched the peaceful sea , talking all the while. I enjoyed talking to him, I always burst out of laughing when he made a joke, but sometimes I blush because of his compliments.
"...but you know, I might quit being a pirate someday..."
"I think it would suit you to just become a simple guy and wear suits or something" I giggled, he lifted me up and made me sat on the ship's wooden rail, he held my back to prevent me from falling.
"Just you wait..." he mumbled
After that meeting, I just saw him sitting in the World Conference, he's not wearing his pirate outfit, but a suit like I said on that day.

Loved this but confused. Did I miss a chap?
i think i missed chapter 19…..oh well….still this was great to read!
I loved this story soooo much
Wait WHAT DID I MISS A CHAPTER
D'awww its so cute and dang I just relized that like if me and Arthur were married and had kids we wouldn't be worried about who's appearance they would get cause I have bushy eyebrows and green eyes but sadly my hair is more red than it is blond but it's slightly blonde
Its like he just got back from preasent day and took reader-san off into the sun set!
(Adorable!) (Also kidnapping but adorable)
(Adorable!) (Also kidnapping but adorable)
it made no sense for me a lot of times, but the story was still very good!
Omg.. This story is AWESOME AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE!!! *-* I love this story x33But now I don't know what I should read now..? TT.TT I'm searching :3
I loved this story it was sooo cute!! Very nice!!
Finally finished this story...and I freaking love it!! It's actually 19 minutes after midnight here...and all this time I was reading this instead of sleeping, haha...
Anyways, I absolutely loved this!! Amazing work!!
Anyways, I absolutely loved this!! Amazing work!!
No! It can't be over!! It has to continue on FOREVER!!!!!! I won't accept this
... I accept this
But seriously you are an amazing writer!bravo
Besides that I liked the idea for me and Arthur being Alfred and Mathiew's parents ^___^
Well I'm kinda hot and cold for the ending I didn't like that everyone just suddenly hated Alfred. Having Arthur being depressed, then a flash back to when reader met him and suddenly ending the story.. It felt kinda rushed and I wished just alittle that there was alittle more to the ending. Like a good closure ending. But hey! Don't take this badly okay? It just my opinion but it seemed many liked it ^___^
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I didn't want it to end. Well, back to demon slaying with the help of Arthur. He is into witchcraft, but he still helps because he is more into white witchcraft then black, but he does dabble in black witchcraft. When I was young, I went to this sleepover. Me, my non genetically related twin sister, and my new friend slept outside (not really, we were looking at yoai! :3) My new friend fell asleep. And me and my "twin" got glowsticks and aranged them in a random patten. And we wore black, and sat before the circle and made a offering of a stuffed lion named Herald to Jesus. We did some sort of white a, but it wasnt witchcraft. We thought of starting some weirdo reformed christianity thing. And we started working on the "Bible" of our religious thingy. Wedid a weirdo ritual, and yeah. We were all like, what if your mom comes out and saw what we were doing, or what if Carolyn woke up o_o that would be bad. We prayed for good stuff, like peace. But then we prayed for our enemies souls to be vanquished. Creepy, I know
AAWW..but still,EPICNESS!
I am an influence on his life!!

I can only comment on Room 1 which was cold and noisy from the street traffic, despite the secondary glazing which was less than useless.
Although there was a heater in the room the radiator was cold and we had to ask on two occasions for the heating to be put on. The following morning it was off again. The light above the mirror didn't work and there was a draught coming through the wall under the sink. The beds were comfortable and tea & coffee facilities were provided. The romanticised description of 'your own private bathroom with key' was misleading as this was a coupe of doors down the corridor, extremely basic with no heating and, again, the light over the mirror didn't work. So don't forget to take a dressing gown. However, the menu and food was excellent and the dining room comfortable and full of Dickensian memorabilia. I can only assume the other bedrooms are en suite and warmer.

Very good, small gripes, would stay again!
Overall the stay was very nice and would definitely stay again.
The bedroom was very spacious with a large comfortable bed. The bedroom was tidy with facilities that you'd expect (kettle/tea/coffee/TV) and was full of character (four poster bed). It was heated using storage heaters though as I suspect the central heating wasn't working, this did mean that the en-suite was very cold (the one gripe!) The shower was also quite weak.
Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food at the restaurant was very good, traditional pub food, would recommend the braised lamb. The breakfast was a full English, no complaints.
The pub area was relatively small but felt cosy, felt like an old traditional pub which is what we were after. Ideal for a relaxing weekend away (if the bathroom wasn't so cold!)

A Brief Bio
I have served in full-time Christian ministry since 1991. After graduating from the University of North Texas and Dallas Theological Seminary, I served in the pastorate for 14 years at Denton Community Church, a church plant of Denton Bible Church. In 1995, I returned to seminary to complete my Master of Theology and Doctor of Ministry degrees.
During my years in the pastorate I began writing a weekly column for the Denton Record Chronicle, as well as articles for Kindred Spirit magazine and Bible.org.
Since 2005, I have served in leadership at Insight for Living, the Bible-teaching ministry of Chuck Swindoll. My role as an executive vice president allows me to lead and labor alongside a gifted team of writers, editors, and pastors. I'm a member of the Evangelical Theological Society, and I also have served on the Board of Directors for the National Religious Broadcasters.
I have been married to my wife, Cathy, for twenty-six years. We live in north Texas and attend Stonebriar Community Church. We have two daughters. (The nest is empty.)
Cathy and I took our first trip to Israel in 2000, and frankly, I have never recovered.
Writing about Bible lands is almost as exhilarating as traveling to see them with those who have never journeyed to Israel before. In my role at Insight for Living, I have the opportunity of traveling to Israel every other year and serving as a Bible teacher on one of the tour buses. I also try to lead my own tours on occasion. (Come with us!) In my doctoral education, I did extensive study on the benefits of understanding and experiencing the lands of the Bible. My research revealed that a single trip to Israel has a significant impact on a Christian's spiritual life.
I have written four devotional books (and audiobooks), Waiting on God, Grow Strong, as well as Going Places with God and Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus, which show the practical application of the Bible lands to life. For two years I wrote a weekly column called "Sites and Insights" for the online edition of the Jerusalem Post.
In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading, playing guitar, and woodworking.

Tasty no vinegar dressing
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2641684 on Oct 09, 2011
I am on a diet that doesn't allow for vinegar right now. This dressing is pretty much the only one I could find that didn't have vinegar or high sugar content. I enjoy the flavor and wish there were more flavor varieties out there that fit my needs.

Kate Middleton traced her roots during her latest royal visit.
The 32-year-old toured Bletchley Park Wednesday, where her grandmother worked during World War II.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a blouse and skirt from Alexander McQueen's 2011 Pre-Fall collection. Middleton first sported the military-inspired look during a Birmingham engagement in August 2011. She accessorized her ensemble by wearing Princess Diana's now iconic sapphire and diamond drop earrings.
Upon her arrival, Middleton met Lady Marion Body, who worked with her late paternal grandmother Valerie Glassborow during the war. Glassborow was a civilian member of staff and worked in Hut 16.
Her grandmother's workspace, now named Hut 6, was part of a restoration project at the "spy school."
NEWS: Kate Middleton helps Prince George walk at Prince William's polo match
During her visit, Middleton met with the restoration staff. She also pretended to decipher a Morse code message using a replica radio, similar to the ones that were used during the war. Later on, Middleton planted a tree to commemorate her visit and to celebrate the completed $13.6 million renovations.

i was reading some posts yesterday about this image regarding the possibility of an Egyptian statue on Mars (at least i think it was Mars but i saved the link and slept soon after!)
This link is to the Nasa picture that was provided from that link.
The statue didnt really do much for me and i began looking and zooming in around the rest of the image.
I have no idea if anyone has ever posted this before and a search would be difficult from the amount of 'object found on Mars' posts so i thought id just post and see what you think;
oh, and before you say 'rock' ... zoom in a little and notice the distinct 'I' on the 'helmet' of the (supposed) alien climbing the rocks in the centre (slight left) of this image!

To be fair I found quite a few things too, I think you can get from the 'tone' of the way I wrote my thread that I'm not stating this as fact, it was just a weird thing to see and of course looks typically 'alien'!!!
I agree that these threads are done to death but you dont have to read them if they pee you off that much!

Actually I did notice the door and also what looks like a 'keypad' on the side of the rock jutting out next to it, but hey i wouldnt want to go that far in my rock theories, people will think im seeing things!

Apricot White Fudge Recipe
"This fudge has become a family favorite because of the luscious blending of flavors," notes Debbie Purdue of Freeland, Michigan. "I try to make it for gifts at Christmastime." Use a candy thermometer or the cold-water test to make sure the mixture reaches soft-ball stage; then chill until set.
- 1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 12 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
- 3/4 cup chopped dried apricots
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil and grease with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, sour cream and remaining butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage), about 5-1/2 minutes.
- 2. Remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate until melted. Stir in marshmallow creme until blended. Fold in apricots and walnuts. Pour into prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Discard foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Yield: about 2 pounds.

Cyclops Sketch by kevinwadaWatch

You know, I'm not a fan of Cyclops, never have been, but I love this piece. I haven't looked at your other work yet, but just going on this picture, I like your style for this one. The white pen over the watercolor does wonders for this picture. Awesome!
great painting. love X Men TAS

UFC: Michael Bisping cleared for Tim Kennedy headliner on Apr 16 in Quebec
Michael Bisping passed his eye examinations in London this week, as per stipulated by the UFC doctors, and has been medically cleared to fight, averting fears that he would never compete again.
The British mixed martial artist has been fighting under the auspices of the UFC for almost nine years, and has a career record of (24-5).
There has been a two-and-fro battle for months on social media, but on April 16 at the Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City, middleweight contender Bisping (No 5 ranked) and Tim Kennedy (No 9 ranked) will settle their score in the Octagon.
UFC President Dana White announced today that Bisping, who was recovering from a detached retina, was medically cleared for the bout, which will headline a card which also features the Ultimate Fighter Nations finale.
The event will air on FOX Sports 1.

Mark Chandler, deputy news editor / / News
A Qatari man who murdered a Chislehurst teacher before burning her body has been sentenced to death by a Doha court.
According to Doha News, the mum of 24-year-old Lauren Patterson wept in court as her killer was sentenced.
Ms Patterson's charred remains were discovered shortly after she went missing, having left a Doha nightclub in the early hours last October.
According to prosecutors, who called her death "heinous, foreign and shocking to a society as conservative as Qatar's," she had been sexually assaulted and stabbed twice.
In a statement released today, her mother Alison said: "Nothing will ever bring my daughter back. As a family we will never be able to replace the times we were looking forward to: Lauren getting married, having children - all of those things and more have been taken away from us by these two individuals.
"Even though this trial is now over, we will never forget Lauren, nor the horrific way she was murdered.
"Because of the truly heinous and brutal way in which Badr Hashim Khamis Abdullah Al-Jabar and Muhammad Abdullah Hassan Abdul Aziz tried to dispose of Lauren's body, we were not able to say a final goodbye.
"This will be etched in my memory till the day I die. Nothing will ever make the pain and grief that we have all suffered go away. It is something none of us will forget."
A friend of Ms Patterson's testified they had left a nightclub at the La Cigale hotel together, and the men dropped her home, promising they would drop Patterson off later on
During his trial, Badr Hashem Khamis Abdallah al-Jabr, claimed Ms Patterson's death was accidental and he has been forced to confess the crime.
Another man, Mohamed Abdallah Hassan Abdul Aziz, has been jailed for three years after helping to burn the body.

This typically requires a third-party utility. On both Windows and Linux, there's a number of them, but my favorite (and the one most specifically suited to Linux distributions) is UNetBootin. Use it to create a bootable drive from an .ISO, or by picking a distribution from a menu in the program. The end result should boot and run as if it were the CD itself, although some distributions (openSUSE, for one) might require special tweaking to run properly.
Be mindful of all the hardware that exists on your netbook that's worth testing: the network connections (cellular, wireless, wired); the camera, microphone and audio subsystem; and so on. Some devices may require proprietary drivers to work properly, which not all distributions may carry by default.
Always keep in mind that you've got your pick of distributions. The overwhelming majority of them will cost nothing to download and try out. If one doesn't work, grab another.
You can typically try them out with no changes made to your computer. To that end, many of your favorite distributions -- Fedora, for instance -- may already work as-is.
Puppy Linux
Puppy Linux has earned a reputation for being one of the most compact, spiffiest and most all-around useful Linux distributions around, both because of and despite its quirks. It's well suited to netbooks out of the box in a lot of ways -- but it's also imperative that you make sure its batch of drivers works with your machine.
Puppy was written to run on a variety of devices, from ZIP drives to Flash cards. For that reason, the installation process requires a little more care and attention to detail than with, say, Ubuntu. Example: If you install from a flash drive, mount the flash drive (there will be an icon for it on the desktop; just click it) before starting the Puppy Universal Installer. That way you won't have to poke around trying to mount it later and possibly mess up the installation process.
Puppy does have some limitations that are probably a product of its hybrid nature. For one, it doesn't seem to support power management out of the box: hibernate and sleep aren't available. On the other hand, it boots and shuts down fast enough that this is scarcely an issue.
Another is the way hardware is detected and used: if you have hardware that requires closed-source / proprietary drivers, you may be in for a bit of a struggle with Puppy. Tip: If you boot Puppy in live mode and your network's not detected automatically, that's a sign you might want to go with another build first.
Ubuntu Netbook Remix And Xubuntu
Canonical's Ubuntu is Linux, for most people who sit down to try it out. And for most people with a netbook, it might well be the first distribution they try out anyway. It's hard to go wrong with Ubuntu on most hardware, netbooks included: the new 9.04 version intelligently detects display sizes and does its best to make sure visual elements are rendered correctly on small screens.
Ubuntu has another major plus: it supports a wealth of proprietary hardware, including (and especially) network cards. You'll be warned about whether or not proprietary drivers are in use when you're first up and running; there's a green "device card" icon in the tray at top right on the desktop when you have a proprietary driver running.
Aside from the stock version of Ubuntu, which runs fine for many users as-is, there are a few offshoots worth checking out. First and most obvious is the Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which fits in 4GB, contains no proprietary components (if you're concerned about such things), and sports a redesigned interface for quickly accessing common tasks.
If you'd rather not stray too far from a familiar desktop, there's Xubuntu, another Ubuntu derivative that sports the Xfce window manager and has been slimmed down in other ways, too. I had much less trouble getting Xubuntu and Ubuntu proper to run on my netbook of choice; you might try those first.

Respond to Review of Ciya Kebab
by twinkle
Review: I love Ciya!!! If I am over on the Asian side (it's in Kadikoy, one of the most beautiful and relaxing parts of the city) I almost always eat here. I also try to bring my guests here when I have friends/family visiting from abroad. The owner of Ciya, Musa, has painstakingly researched foods from different regions in Turkey, and you can get foods here you won't find elsewhere, unless you travel all of Turkey. They also cook seasonal specialties, like stuffed artichokes or stuffed zucchini blossoms in the spring. The restaurant has been reviewed in many top international food magazines and for good reason. The staff are very attentive and friendly, and its moderately priced, so there is no reason not to go! Ciya is a kebab place, and is not explicitly geared toward vegans and vegetarians, however, there are always lots of choices. They usually have some hot entrees to choose from, in addition to the salad bar. My favorite is the boiled bulgur balls, which you can have served with or without yogurt. The salad bar has a wide selection of salads to choose from. You choose what you want, and are charged by the weight. Ciya own several restaurants on the same street, and some of them serve alcohol and some don't. If you want to drink, make sure you go to the correct one. My advice to you!!! Take a boat over to Kadikoy (from Eminonu, Karakoy, or Besiktas) spend a day walking by the seaside and exploring the markets, and have a lovely dinner at Ciya!!!

Nagasaki International Hostel AKARINagasaki, Japan
Had a nice stay here, great location. The hostel is well equipped with information about things to do around the area. The staff were amazing and so helpful, they arranged luggage transfers for us which was really appreciated. Would definitely recommend this hostel.
Guesthouse U-EnOsaka, Japan
Had a really lovely stay here, the directions on how to get to the hostel are excellent. Nice rooms, twin room was very small but ideal. This hostel had a nice cosy feel to it. Only downfall was the walls are quite thin and there was quite a bit of noise on our first night but over all it was great, would definitely recommend this place
Guest House KURANagano Snow Monkey Park, Japan
Thank you so much for such an amazing stay at your guesthouse. My cousin and I loved every minute of it. We really appreciate all your help and advice, also so lovely of you to take us to the Onsen. Everything was perfect :)
Haka LodgeChristchurch, New Zealand
A really lovely, peaceful hostel. Perfect place if you need a night to chill out. Staff were really friendly. I would stay here again
The Flaming Kiwi BackpackersQueenstown, New Zealand
Had a great stay here, definitely one of my favourite hostels I've stayed at. Kitchens were so clean and the dorm rooms were cleaned everyday which was great. Kent and the rest of the staff were lovely, so welcoming and would do anything they could to help. Would recommend the flaming kiwi to everyone : )
Base WanakaWanaka, New Zealand
Typical base hostel. Really helpful, friendly staff. Only bad thing is that the bunk beds were the squeekiest beds I have ever slept in.... When you're in a 6 bed dorm that's a lot of movement causing a lot of noise.
Sir Cedrics Glow Worm Flashpacker HostelFranz Josef, New Zealand
When we arrived we discovered that this hostel was closed for refurbishment, the booking was passed to another hostel called Chateux Franz. It was nice, relaxed atmosphere. Only down fall was our room had an ensuite wet room which made the room smell quite damp.
Albatross Backpacker InnKaikoura, New Zealand
Lovely stay, a great atmosphere, really relaxed.... Loved it
Portside Inn Backpackers LodgeNapier, New Zealand
Had a nice stay, staff were helpful.
Tiki LodgeTaupo, New Zealand
Had a nice stay at Tiki Lodge, good location, just a short walk in to town. Motel next door was loud during the night and woke us all up.... I guess this can't be helped. Overall it was a great place to stay
Newton LodgeAuckland, New Zealand
Third time I've stayed at this hostel, it's nice and relaxed, free Internet, comfy beds.... Great, spacious showers
The Hive HostelPerth, Australia
I'm not quite sure how this hostel has one of the best percentages in Perth!! I'm usually very accepting of hostels and the condition they can be in, the toilets weren't very clean and our room was awful, the air conditioning unit has water dripping out all over the floor, causing a dreadful damp smell!' It's a new hostel and the staff are really trying, just get the feeling that some guests are taking advantage. They just need to employ some extra staff to help them get things together.

Kalbarri Backpackers YHAKalbarri, Australia
This was a lovely hostel, all the staff are really friendly (as long as you keep the noise down at night), and always willing to help with tours and day trips. The rooms were basic but clean with clean on suite bathrooms. Really good value for money. I would definitely reccomend this hostel and remould re visit it myself ....Thank you Kalbarri Backpackers!!
Airport Skyway LodgeAuckland, New Zealand
I have stayed at this hostel a couple of times due to its location at the airport. I feel like it's slightly over priced as a hostel especially as you have to pay extra for a shuttle and also wifi. The staff are really helpful and the facilities are clean. Nice and relaxed, I would recommend this hostel.
Newton LodgeAuckland, New Zealand
I enjoyed staying at this hostel, the staff are friendly and willing to help when they can. Its not very social as people are using it as a place to sort them selves out. Rooms and lounge area are nice and relaxed. I understand its a new hostel but could do with being cleaned more regularly. Over all it's a nice hostel which I would reccomend and go back to.

Read an Excerpt
The important thing is not to panic.
Like that was even possible. My heart pounded erratically in my chest, radiating terror through my veins. I had been treading water in the dark of night for maybe ten minutes, but it might as well have been ten hours. The floaty chiffon gown that had seemed so light and airy when I had selected it for the Ryans' Casino Night now clung to my skin and tangled around my legs, threatening to pull me down. Down into the deep, dark depths of the ocean where who-knew-what disgusting, slimy, razor-toothed things were waiting to nibble on my toes and fingers and
No. No. No. It was going to be okay. It was, it was, it was. If I could just keep my eye on the Ryans' boat, everything would be fine. I could still hear the piano music drifting across the Caribbean Sea, could still make out the cheers as a guest won big at the card tables. As long as I could see the boat there was the possibility it might come back for me. I stared at the merrily twinkling lights on the deck as the vessel sailed back toward St. Barths and willed it to turn. Sent a silent panic signal to anyone who might care. Noelle. Upton. Kiran. Dash. Taylor. Tiffany. Someone please just realize I'm not there. Someone go looking for me. Someone, anyone, hear me.
I caught a stray shout and my heart leapt with hope. But the shout was followed by a peal of laughter. They were just obliviously going about their partying. Everyone I knew on the island was on that boat. And it was quickly floating out of reach.
The important thing is not to panic.
But the mantra wasn't working. Someone on that boat had tried to kill me. Someone had torn off the ridiculously expensive diamond necklace I'd been wearing Noelle's necklace and shoved me overboard into the frigid water. A slim, hooded figure. Average height. That was all I had seen after plunging into the sea and struggling to the surface. A hooded figure slinking away, the white trim on the black hood practically glowing in the moonlight. I couldn't tell if it was male or female, old or young, but I had my suspicions. Poppy Simon, Paige Ryan, or Sienna Marquez. They were all jealous of me. They all wanted Upton Giles, my new sort-of boyfriend. One of them clearly wanted him enough to murder me and get me out of the way.
And it looked like she was going to succeed.
I was not going to let her win. Whichever one of those psychos had done this was going to be sorely disappointed. I couldn't wait until she saw me alive. I was going to walk up to her and spit in her face. And right after I did that, I was getting the hell off of St. Barths. This place was pure evil. I would have been better off vacationing on the time-hopping torture island from Lost.
The skirt of my dress wrapped around my right ankle and held fast, restricting my movement. Without a second thought I reached for the zipper at the side of the gown and, my cold fingers trembling and slipping, managed to yank it down. After a brief struggle I was free of the thing. It floated off on the waves like a lazy sapphire-blue cloud bobbing in the wind. Instantly, I felt twenty pounds lighter, and proud of myself for having made such a wise decision. I took a deep breath and realized that I was moving my arms much faster than I needed to, so I forced myself to slow down. Soon my heart rate calmed and my breathing stabilized. This was much better. I was strong. I was an athlete. I could tread water like this for hours.
Maybe. How long could a person tread water, technically? I had no idea. It wasn't a fact I'd ever thought I would need to know, hailing as I did from a landlocked state. But here I was, little Reed Brennan of Croton, Pennsylvania, treading for her life, half naked in the Caribbean Sea.
How the hell had I gotten here?
"I picked the wrong guy," I answered aloud. "Again."
My voice sounded odd and unbearably lonely. I resolved not to talk anymore. But now that I'd started thinking of Upton, I couldn't stop. If only I had stuck to my original instinct and steered clear of him, none of this would be happening. But how could I have resisted a gorgeous, incredible, worldly British guy coming at me full force with all his talk of how different and amazing I was? I was only human. And yeah, maybe he had been with a lot of girls, but how was I supposed to know that one of them was going to turn out to be homicidal?
Come on, Reed. Try learning from experience.
I looked at the boat and my entire body jolted with terror. The lights were winking in and out on the horizon. Winking. Winking. Winking. And then they were gone.
I whirled around with a splash, searching the endless waterscape. There had to be another boat. A light. A buoy. Anything. But all I could see for miles was the deep blue of the ocean, lit by the thousands of stars overhead. No land, no vessels, nothing. Nothing but water. I was alone. Alone and adrift in the middle of nowhere.
No one was coming for me. I was going to drown out here. By myself. In the dark. They would never even find my body. I was going to drift out here forever at the bottom of the ocean.
No. Stop. Just stop.
I couldn't let myself go there. Couldn't think that way. No matter how true it felt in that moment, I could not start thinking the worst. I had survived so much. I could survive this. I just had to give my tired limbs a break. I took a deep breath and forced myself to lie back and float, even though it meant taking my eyes off the horizon. I would float for a few minutes, regain my strength, and then start treading again. It was going to be okay. It was all going to be okay.
The stars formed a close-knit blanket across the sky. I had never seen so many in my life. It was beautiful. If it was the last thing I saw, it wouldn't be so bad. I wondered what it would be like to drown. Whether it would hurt. I thought of Thomas Pearson and the awful manner in which he had died, murdered by a girl who claimed to love him. A crazy girl with a baseball bat. I wished he were here with me now. If I only had the chance, I would tell him how sorry I was. I would tell him that I hoped Ariana Osgood had done the deed quickly. That he didn't have too much time to be scared. Like me. I was going to have a lot of time to be scared...terrified...desperate...before I finally went.
My heart seized in panic as the reality of the situation slammed into my chest, and for a brief moment, I went under. Salty water filled my mouth and nostrils, and my lungs exploded with pain. I fought my way to the surface again, flailing and gasping for air. There was still nothing. Nothing but the ocean and the sky. Midnight blue as far as the eye could see. Stars everywhere, but nothing else. Nothing but the ripples atop the water. I was never going to be able to survive this. Never, never, never.
But somehow, I kept treading. Minutes passed. Hours. I had no idea how long I had been out there when my limbs started to feel impossibly heavy. When my mind started to grow so very tired. I tried to float again, and as I lay back my eyes fluttered closed. Instantly I saw a flash of Sabine DuLac, her face twisted with ire, and I felt her hands grab my shoulders and shove me down. I struggled against her, but the more I squirmed and writhed, the further I sank. She was pushing, pushing, pushing me down. I opened my eyes under the water and they stung from the salt. I could see nothing. Nothing but...a shadow. Something moving. Something dark. And it wasn't very far away.
My heart burst with fear. I clawed my way to the surface and heaved in a breath, flailing around in the ocean, trying to find whatever it was I had seen under the water. Was it a shark, or a harmless fish? A turtle? A dolphin? A whale? I had no idea how big or small it was. How far away or how near.
Suddenly I felt something slither around my ankle. I screamed and kicked and started to cry. My God, please don't let anything be down there. Please just let it be my paranoia taking over.
But there it was again. Something sliding across my toes. I screamed again and swam a few feet away, my tired muscles barely functioning. As if a few strokes were going to free me from a water dweller. If something out here wanted me as its midnight snack, it was pretty much going to have me.
I was sobbing now. Gulping for air. Afraid that at any second I would feel it again. Or worse, that I would feel jaws close around my foot. See a fin sailing ominously by. I gasped in a breath and started to choke. Water filled my mouth and throat and I spit it out, coughing, choking, struggling for air.
I had to get a grip. If I didn't, my panic attack was going to drown me.
Maybe it was nothing. Maybe I was just imagining things. Or maybe it was seaweed. Or even my dress. Maybe it was still nearby but had sunk below the surface.
I took a breath. Yes. That was it. I told myself it was just the dress. And even though I didn't completely believe it, my breathing started to return to normal.
But still, the tears came. And suddenly, I was thinking about Josh Hollis. Josh, who was back in the States, probably out to dinner or cuddling on the couch somewhere with his girlfriend, Ivy Slade. I imagined what he would do when he heard of my death. Would he cry? Scream? Throw a fit of despair? He'd already lost his best friend. Would losing me push him over the edge? Or was he falling in love with Ivy? Had he already forgotten me? Would the news of my death be just one more tragedy, a story they could tell their kids as they grew older, how daddy's old girlfriend drowned tragically off the coast of St. Barths?
I scoffed a laugh at the thought of Josh and Ivy as a married couple. Forget Josh. What would Upton do? Would he miss me? Or would he just move on to the next girl? Would he ever know that it was one of his deranged exes who had done this? Would he even care?
The guy had claimed he loved me. But if he was so in love with me, how could he have just left me in the Ryans' stateroom like that? We had gone down there to snag a little alone time and been caught half undressed by Mrs. Ryan and Poppy, one of Upton's many ex-hookups. But instead of staying with me and pep talking me out of my abject humiliation, he had gone after Poppy to make sure she was okay. Was he still with her right now? Had he even realized I was missing? Why hadn't he come to save me?
My chin dipped under the water and I surged up again. My arms were moving slower and slower. My eyes had closed. I was falling asleep. For a moment I fought against it, but I felt my lids growing heavy again. And then my nose was under. Heart panicking, I pushed up with all my might, but I barely got my chin above the surface.
This was it. I had nothing left. I had done my best, but this was how I was going to die. I thought of my mother. Of how sad she would be. And my dad. He definitely wasn't going to take this well. I hoped my brother, Scott, would be there for them. The thought of the three of them alone together, without me, brought tears to my eyes and made my nose clog. I'm so sorry...but I can't do this anymore....
"There! I see something! Right over there! Shine the light!"
I closed my eyes. I was hallucinating. It was really over.
And slowly, I started to sink into the inky blue depths of the sea.
"Reed! Over here! I'm coming!"
I blinked. My brain told me I was hallucinating, but I raised my right hand just in case. The effort did me in, and instantly, I sank like a stone. Just before the water closed over my face, just before my eyes fluttered closed for the last time, I caught the briefest glimpse of a blond-haired boy tearing off his shirt and diving into the water.

Through the slats of the white vinyl blinds, I could see palm trees. They rustled in the wind, backdropped by an impossibly blue sky. Big puffy white clouds chased one another across the window and out of view. Somewhere nearby a bird chirped happily. Where the hell was I? Why was the window on the wrong side of the bed? What was that incessant beeping and why wouldn't it stop?
The brightness of the sun was too much. I turned my head away from the window and felt a tug on my neck, like something was stuck to the skin there. I reached my hand up to inspect and froze. Sitting at the end of my bed a hospital bed, I now realized with a jolt was Sawyer Hathaway, his hands clasped together under his chin. He was wearing a tuxedo shirt open over his bare chest, along with a pair of blue scrubs. His light blond hair was a tousled mess, as if it had air dried hours ago and not seen a comb since.
"Sawyer?" I croaked.
His gray eyes popped open and relief flooded his face. "You're awake." He stood up and moved so close to the head of the bed that I could see the flecks of brown in his irises. "Are you okay?"
As if that was even worth discussing. I simply stared up at him. "You saved my life."
A blush lit his chiseled cheeks. He gripped the metal guardrail at the side of my bed, his knuckles white. "How do you feel?"
"What's this thing on my neck?" I asked, lifting my hand.
I winced in pain and my arm dropped back down again. My muscles felt like lifeless bags of flour, as if I'd spent an entire day in the weight room at Easton. I tried to move my legs. Same thing.
"I can't move," I whimpered, closing my eyes.
"You were treading water for three hours," Sawyer said.
"Three hours?" My eyes popped open again. "How did you even find me?"
Sawyer pulled his chair from the foot of the bed and sat right next to me. He clasped his hands and rested his elbows on his thighs, leaning forward.
"When Upton couldn't find you at the party he got worried and sent everyone out to search the boat," he explained. His voice sounded pinched. Like he was fighting for control."No one could find you anywhere and Noelle lost it. Her dad insisted that the police send out search boats, and we all grabbed whatever boats we could find and searched too." He unclasped his hands and rubbed them over his knees. "I was in a boat with Noelle and my dad and brother, so it's not like it was just me who saved you."
"Please," I said, my heart welling as I remembered the fear, the sadness, the resignation. "I was just about to give up. If it wasn't for you..." I took a deep, broken breath. "Thank you, Sawyer."
His face lit up. For a moment it looked like he was trying to squash it, but the smile won out. Sawyer Hathaway looked me in the eye and smiled. It was only the second time I'd seen him do that since I'd arrived on the island. It was a very nice smile.
"You're welcome," he said simply.
"What time is it?" I asked. "Actually...what day is it?"
Sawyer smirked. "It's December twenty-seventh. And it's a little after three. You've been sleeping all day."
I took a deep breath. I felt like I could sleep for ten days.
A hefty nurse with dark skin and long black hair stepped into the room, wearing a starchy-looking pink uniform. She widened her eyes at us, then angled her head back into the hallway.
"She's awake!"
When she walked back into the room, she was followed by two police officers, one of them black, the other white. They were both tall, the black man broad and muscular, while his counterpart was more wiry. Both had stern, no-nonsense looks on their faces that made me instantly feel as if I was in trouble. They wore light blue polo shirts with blue shorts that showed their knees and leg hair, and sort of undermined their authority. I glanced at Sawyer, who had sat up straight at their entrance. His gaze was fixed on the cops.
"Good afternoon, Miss Brennan!" the nurse said in a Caribbean accent, walking around to the far side of my bed, across from Sawyer. "We are very happy to see you up and awake!"
"Thank you," I replied, keeping one eye on the cops while she wrapped a blood pressure gauge around my upper arm. I realized for the first time that I was wearing a thin hospital gown, underpants, and nothing else. No bra to speak of. Then I realized with a start that when Sawyer had saved me I had been floating in the water in nothing but a tiny pair of black undies and an even skimpier strapless bra. My face burned, wondering how much, exactly, he, Graham, and Mr. Hathaway had seen.
"Miss Brennan, I'm Officer Marshall; this is Officer Gravois," the white policeman said, pulling a small notebook out of the pocket of his shirt as he nodded at his partner. "How are you feeling?"
"Okay. Tired," I replied.
He smiled slightly, but his partner maintained his dire expression. "That's understandable. But when you feel up to it, we'd like to ask you a few questions about your accident," Officer Marshall said.
Accident? I felt an instant flash of shock and anger. The nurse removed the blood pressure gauge with a loud rip and I struggled to push myself up onto my elbows. The pain in my muscles was excruciating, but I managed to get there. Again, the bandage on my neck pulled at my skin, and I placed my hand over it, trying to calm a burning sensation beneath the dressing.
"I can talk about it now, thanks, and it wasn't an accident," I said. "I was pushed."
"What?" Sawyer blurted.
"Pushed?" the nurse echoed.
"Excuse me?" Officer Gravois asked dubiously, speaking for the first time. He had a French-Caribbean accent, like the nurse did, which somehow made him sound even more condescending than he looked.
"Someone on the boat tried to kill me," I said firmly. "They tore off my necklace and shoved me overboard."
I winced, remembering the priceless jewels Noelle had lent me. Jewels that were now lost forever. That explained the burning sensation on my neck. The bandage must have been covering a cut left by all those diamonds and sapphires.
"Someone shoved you," Officer Marshall said flatly.
Their doubt shot under my skin and I pushed myself up higher. The nurse procured some pillows from a closet at the foot of the bed and pushed them behind me, helping me to sit up.
"All I remember is this musky smell...like cologne or perfume," I said. "And then someone ripped off my necklace and pushed me. That's how I got this cut." I turned my head so they could see the bandage. "Whoever did this is a thief and a murderer."
"That would be attempted murderer," Officer Gravois corrected with a chuckle. His partner hid a smile behind his hand. I noticed he was holding a pencil, but had yet to write down anything in his trusty notebook.
"You don't believe me?" I demanded.
"Perhaps you are confused," Officer Gravois said. "Or perhaps you feel embarrassed because the entire St. Barths police force was sent out looking for you for hours. You want to make it seem as if you are a victim, not a mere...what is the word...klutz?"
Okay. Now I was pissed.
"I'm not a klutz! Someone wants me dead. How can you not believe me?"
"You were drinking, no?" Officer Gravois said.
Suddenly I felt even more alone than I had out in the open ocean. I needed help. Someone was trying to kill me and these were the people who were supposed to help. It was their job. But apparently they were too lazy to do their job and preferred instead to mock me. Desperation burbled up in my veins, making my heart race like I'd downed ten cups of espresso.
"Actually, no," I spat. "I had one glass of champagne. If I were drunk enough to imagine this entire thing, do you really think I could have treaded water for that long?"
"It wasn't that long," Officer Marshall said, flipping the pages in his notebook to check it. "It was only about three and a half hours."
"That's a long time!" Sawyer and I said in unison.
I glanced at Sawyer, grateful that I had someone on my side. The cops looked at each other, clearly amused by our overly dramatic antics.
"Look, you don't understand. This isn't the first time," I said, growing more frustrated. "First, someone spooked my horse and almost sent me headlong over a cliff. Then my Jet Ski went haywire and exploded, and now this. Someone on the island is after me."
My heart pounded as I told the story. I realized with a start that whoever was after me would probably try again. No. Not probably. Definitely. They'd already tried three times, so clearly, they were determined to get the job done. I swallowed hard, trying to dampen my fear.
"Miss Brennan, you must calm down," the nurse said, touching her fingertips to my arm. "You need your rest."
"I'll rest if you tell these guys to listen to me," I blurted.
"What's going on here?"
Mr. Lange's booming voice filled the room as he stormed in, followed by Noelle and Upton. I had never seen a more welcome sight in my life. Not only did the jackass police look instantly intimidated by Noelle's father, but Noelle and Upton's mere presence made me feel safe.
"We're just interviewing Miss Brennan, sir," one of the officers said. But I wasn't paying attention, because I was too busy staring at Upton and wishing I could touch him. Suddenly, more than anything, I just needed to cuddle into his arms and stay there for about ten years. But the room was so full now, he couldn't even get close enough to me to touch my hand. He and Noelle hung back near the foot of the bed while the nurse changed my IV bag. Noelle looked at me like she just wanted to hug me. I knew the feeling.
"Harassing her is what it sounded like," Mr. Lange replied, crossing his arms over his chest. His handsome face was red with anger, the little lines around his mouth deeper than usual as he frowned. He glanced over at Sawyer and me. "What's going on?"
"Reed told them she was pushed off the boat and they don't believe her," Sawyer said matter-of-factly.
"Pushed?" Noelle asked. She walked over to me now, practically shoving the nurse aside. Her long brown hair tumbled down her back in unwashed waves and she wore a plain white T-shirt, black shorts, and zero makeup. The most basic outfit I'd ever seen on her. "Who pushed you?"
"I don't know," I replied, my voice sounding small. "But I saw a...someone in a hooded jacket," I said, suddenly recalling. I glared at the officers. "I saw them moving away from the railing when I broke the surface."
"Can you describe this person?" Officer Marshall asked, his pencil at the ready. He cast a sidelong glance at Mr. Lange, as if he wanted to make sure Noelle's dad saw him doing his job.
"No," I said. "I couldn't make out their face from the water."
The nurse slunk out behind the officers' backs.
"You have to admit, it sounds a bit far-fetched," Officer Marshall said, looking at Noelle's father.
Mr. Lange took a step closer to the officers. "If the girl says she was pushed, she was pushed. I expect you to take her accusation seriously."
The two officers glanced at each other over Mr. Lange's shoulder. I could tell they were still doubtful, but they finally acquiesced.
"Yes, sir. Of course," Officer Marshall said. "Of course there will be a full investigation."
"Good," Mr. Lange said. "I'll be calling your supervisor to make sure your department is aware of the gravity of the situation."
Officer Gravois's jaw clenched. I could tell he did not like the sound of this, and I was glad. Glad that he was unhappy. He looked over at me and attempted a smile. "Get some rest, Miss Brennan. We're glad you're all right."
Yeah. Sure you are. More like you're pissed off that I just created actual work for you to do.
The two cops left the room and we could hear them bitching to each other in French all the way down the hall. Mr. Lange whipped out his cell phone and speed dialed someone, his lips set in a tight line.
"I'm going to go speak to the doctors," he said, holding the phone away from his ear for a moment. "Someone should be in here checking you out right now." As he walked out he barked into the phone. "Get me the St. Barths police department. Now."
"Thanks," I called after him meekly. Finally, Noelle, Upton, Sawyer, and I were alone.
"That's Daddy. Always multitasking," Noelle joked.
"He doesn't have to do all this," I said, a bit awed by his concern for and defense of me.
"Sure he does. He likes to be in control," Noelle said with a shrug.
Like father, like daughter. I heard him pause to talk to some people out in the hallway and recognized Taylor Bell's voice. I glanced at Noelle quizzically.
"A bunch of people came to make sure you were okay," she explained. "Dash, Kiran, Taylor, Tiff, Amberly, Gage, West..."
All my friends from Easton. Even Gage Coolidge, who usually called me Farm Girl. And Amberly, who was closer to frenemy than friend. Of course Poppy, Paige, Sienna, and Daniel, Paige's brother, hadn't shown. Why was I not surprised?
"You guys believe me, right?" I asked, looking around at my friends.
"Of course," Sawyer replied.
My heart welled with gratitude. I was about to thank him, but then Upton walked over and paused next to his chair. "You mind, mate?" he said.
Sawyer glanced at him, hesitated, then got up, pushing the chair toward the wall with the back of his legs without a word. Upton leaned over and kissed my lips, running his hand over my forehead before dropping right down in Sawyer's vacated seat.
"Just calm down and get some rest," he said, clasping my hand in both of his. His deep voice and sexy English accent sent a pleasant thrill down my spine. The first pleasant sensation I'd had since I woke up. "We can deal with all of this later. Right now you just have to take care of yourself."
"Okay," I said, my voice full. "I'm so glad you guys are here," I added, glancing at Noelle.
"We're not going anywhere," Noelle replied, pulling up another chair from under the window. "Just try to get some sleep."
I nodded and leaned back into the pillows, clinging to Upton's hand. A sense of peace came over me and I felt my eyelids growing heavy. Everything was going to be okay. Upton and Noelle would take care of me. And Sawyer. Sawyer had saved me. I wouldn't even be here if not for him. Plus, he believed me. He was the only one other than Mr. Lange who had actually said he believed me.
I forced my tired eyes open, intending to thank him again, but when I glanced around the room, he was already gone.

CareFusion delays filing of annual report
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Medical device maker CareFusion Corp. said Wednesday it has delayed filing its annual report in order to review with regulators the way it accounts for its Pyxis medication and supply dispensing products.
CareFusion said it discovered a potential alternative way of accounting for leases of the products.
The company, however, said it believes its current accounting method is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Before filing its 10-K annual report for its latest fiscal year, it is consulting with the Securities and Exchange Commission to get clearance for the current method.
If the SEC does not object to its current accounting policy, the company said it will file its 10-K without any changes to the results it reported on Aug. 9.
CareFusion received a 15-day extension to complete the report. That extension will expire Sept. 13. The company's fiscal year ended June 30.
CareFusion said the alternative accounting method would increase the amount of revenue recorded at the start of the lease of a Pyxis device and decrease the revenue recorded over the life of the lease. It said the method would likely result in a "modest increase" in cumulative revenue and earnings. The company said the change won't have a significant effect on its income or revenue in the current fiscal year.
CareFusion backed its fiscal 2013 guidance, saying it still expects adjusted net income of $2.11 to $2.21 per share. Analysts are forecasting adjusted earnings of $2.11 a share, according to FactSet.
Shares of CareFusion lost 4 cents to $26.46 Wednesday and were unchanged in aftermarket trading.

So far...Journal Entry: Thu Oct 18, 2012, 5:06 PM
Well school is slightly kicking my ass, mostly Art and English classes. Sorry that I'm not as art active as I used to be.
Busy with taking care of my niece, studying for the mid-term, and traveling around with appointments and going to Mexico occassionally.
Even though I posted artwork recently, those were for relaxing from my mid-terms as a treat. Blowing off stress.
I will keep in contact with my mobile to tweet, comment, and talk to friends. Helping me with assignments and practices (also using twitter to rant, updating, or do stupid things). I'm still working on commissions, done with a few but still have not been submitted, I'm letting those who have commission me will get their done and will be posted on my free time.
Also, remember the comic I been working on?
I decided to submit 3 or 4 pages til the end of each month. There has been a lot going on for the past few weeks and sometimes get on my laptop to work.
I hope you understand.
So far... by TogekisserWatch

She Had a Career in Politics Before Mitt
In April 1977, Romney was elected to a one-year term as a town meeting representative in Belmont, Massachusetts. "Who could not vote for a person like Ann? She was young and beautiful and energetic and enthusiastic and everything a voter wants in a person to represent them," fellow member Maryann Scali, told the Associated Press.

SUEK, Mechel Study Boosting Coal Shipments to Japan After Quake
Siberian Coal Energy Co. and OAO Mechel, Russian coal producers, may increase shipments to Japan after an earthquake-generated tsunami smashed into nuclear reactors in the country, threatening energy supply.
Siberian Coal Energy, known as SUEK, and Mechel are able to boost deliveries if necessary, the two companies said today in e-mailed statements. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin said March 12 that Russia could increase coal exports to Japan by 3 million to 4 million metric tons a year "quite quickly."
Tokyo Electric Power Co. was today attempting to stabilize three reactors damaged by the biggest earthquake in Japan's history after a second explosion rocked the Fukushima plant. No large release of radiation was detected after the blast, which didn't breach the No. 3 reactor and followed a build-up of hydrogen gas, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said in Tokyo.
