It is every driver's worst fear: a faint whiff of smoke enters the cabin of the car, and within a matter of seconds, there's a fire raging away under the bonnet. But that has been the case for hundreds of Zafira B drivers including Sue Freemantle who narrowly escaped death when her car spontaneously burst into flames last September.
And during a Transport Select Committee last week Vauxhall revealed that this problem has been on their raider since 2009. So why has it taken six years for the company to take any action? Alice Beer and Sue Freemantle join us to warn others who may be affected.
There's a savings crisis across the UK. The Bank of England may've decided to keep the base rate at 0.5% but it said it could cut it in August, cutting returns for millions of people who've worked hard to squirrel away cash. And according to our Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis, that's just the start. Unless you ACT NOW to boost your savings rates it's only due to get worse…
Stop paying credit card interest, 16-17 summer holiday camp, £10 Harry Potter and FREE posh soup. These are our Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis' Quick Deals.
Remember, deals can change quickly, even while I'm on the programme. So always double-check the terms and conditions before spending. Plus, while I hope these deals will save you cash, don't spend if you can't afford it, don't need it, or won't use it.
It's not unusual to forget something when you go on holiday - your toothbrush, your phone charger, even your passport. But Maurice Hunter went one step further and forgot his own wife! He made headlines this week with the hilarious tale of how he accidentally left Carolyn behind at Stansted Airport, mistakenly thinking she had already boarded their flight to Spain.
The couple have now been reunited and join us in the studio. Plus we have surprise for them, which we hope they'll enjoy together!
Meet Hank, the adorable Staffy-Labrador cross who has captured the hearts of almost a hundred thousand people. That's the number of signatures who have signed a petition to save his life, after Belfast City Council seized the much-loved pet from owners Joanne Meadows and Leonard Collins.
The couple are now fighting to save Hank's life after the council claimed he is actually a Pit Bull Terrier - a banned breed which is illegal to own. His owners join us live from Belfast to talk about the battle to save their beloved dog. We are also joined by vet Roger Mugford, in the studio.
We all dream of travelling the world, but how about if you could do it for free? Natalie Wood has been seeing the sights all over the world for the past two years after joining dating website Miss Travel. The globe trotter accompanies wealthy men to various holiday destinations, with her suitors having spent over £60,000 simply on the pleasure of her company.
But Natalie insists she isn't a gold digger, just a girl who likes to travel! She joins us now to tell us more.

Christina Aguilera Impersonates Britney Spears AGAIN In 'Voice' Promo
Before a 16-year-old was crowned King of The Voice on last night's Season 8 finale, the show's enduring pop queen quietly fired shots at some competing Top 40 royalty.
Before a 16-year-old was crowned King of The Voice on last night's Season 8 finale, the show's enduring pop queen quietly fired shots at some competing Top 40 royalty.
Check out our picks for the ten best moments from the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.
Britney and Iggy Iggs took "Pretty Girls" to the stage together for the first time at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. Watch!
The 2015 Billboard Music Awards packed its three-hour broadcast chock full of incredible musical performances and collaborations on Sunday night (May 17). Watch them all here.
Megan Fox was spotted filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 in New York City, and it looks like the wardrobe department took some fashion cues from Britney Spears circa 1999.
Remember the 1987 hit by Suzanne Vega, 'Tom's Diner'? The queen of pop, Britney Spears decided to do a cover of it and we love it, take a listen.
Called "Pretty Girls," the collaboration between Iggy Azalea and Britney Spears will be the first single off the Australian rapper's next album, due in 2015.
Hair today, gone tomorrow! Britney Spears suffered an odd wardrobe malfunction when a clump of her hair extensions fell out during a 'Piece of Me' performance.
We all love knowing that our favorite famous person was once just an everyday person like us and now we have the footage to show you some of your fav celebs very much before they were famous.
Christina Aguilera made our jaws drop with her killer Britney Spears impression.
Britney Spears has been back in the studio working on her follow-up to 2013's 'Britney Jean.' But it looks like an unheard track has just made it onto the web.
Was Britney's Women's Health cover Photoshopped? Watch this behind-the-scenes vid and see for yourself!

Maroon 5 Adam Levine wants to tie the knot with his supermodel fiancée Behati Prinsloo as soon as possible and has told her she can spend what she wants on the big day.
Adam Levine wants to get married as soon as possible.
The Maroon 5 singer only got engaged to model Behati Prinsloo in July but he has told the 24-year-old beauty he wants the wedding to take place immediately.
A source told the new issue of America's Star magazine: ''Adam is in a mad rush to marry Behati ... the sooner the better.''
The 'Payphone' hitmaker has let Behati know that money is no obstacle when it comes to planning their nuptials and he is happy to spend a million dollars on their big day.
The source added: ''He's ready to become a husband and father so he told Behati to spend whatever she wants, even a million dollars, as long as the wedding is in the near future.''
Adam, 34, popped the question to the Namibian-born beauty at a romantic location in Los Angeles.
Although she delighted to be engaged, Victoria's Secret Angel Behati recently admitted she is pretty relaxed about planning her wedding.
She said: ''I'm so laid back about it.''
Perry performed 'Rise' and 'Roar' before Clinton accepted the nomination to be the Democrats' presidential candidate.
Bruce Springsteen will release rare tracks from 1966 in new album 'Chapter and Verse', which will accompany his autobiography 'Born To Run'.
There's still no reunion planned though.

Issue #2
March, 2009
Letter from the Staff
Dear Reader, Thank you for once again visiting THE PAW! And for those of you who missed our first issue, welcome! We're sorry that it has taken so long to get this new issue online, although a portion of the blame can be placed on that lovely snow week we had in December (aren't most of everyone's problems due to that untimely phenomenon?) But now that we're back, as always, we the staff would like to send our thanks to all of you who were brave enough to submitt your work. We were very excited to work on this issue, which features work from a host of artists and writers entirely new to THE PAW; we hope that you, the reader, will become just as enthused when you begin your perusal. Finally, just as a side note, we were also pleased to see a greater variety of genres in the literature for this issue, especially an increase in the number of short stories. We even have the pleasure of presenting our first chapter story; the first part will appear in this issue, but you'll have to wait for the next one for the final chapter! Once again, we'd like to thank everyone for submitting to this issue, and encourage you to continue sending us your wonderful entries. And for those of you who haven't yet found the courage to submit anything, we beseech you: Please do! We're waiting to showcase your genius! Sincerely, The Staff of THE PAW

Cover Art: "Dining with Diane" by Gabriela Cardoso
By Elizabeth M. It's a scene right off the silver screen The tape rolls The light shines As you fumble with your lines It's just not working out you say Here comes the part where I walk way Cut The director and camera men yell It's like you're under some kind of spell Your dead eyes And emotionless face All seem out of place He yells take two So you try something new It's just been so long Cut No, no that all seems wrong Like a stolen line from a song Take three This is your final attempt to make me see We just weren't meant to be I think we should just go our separate ways Your words put me in a haze But it's time for my line Just get it out and I'll be fine Do you have a reason? You sigh and say you're great But from the look in your eyes I know it's too late You're already gone I was just another pawn The scene is done That was a fast one I wait for the director to yell cut But no one says a thing Because this isn't a movie scene I'm just another heartbroken teen So I just walk away There's nothing more I can say.
"John Lennon" by Emily Lobbato
Stephanie Galluzzo
We have many cultures in our world There are many differences in the way we live our lives Which makes cultures unique and special Sometimes cultures fight, Sometimes they join each other for celebrations
People make judgments about others because of the culture they come from, just like how people can be judged by the color of skin The truth is we have much more in common than you may think If you get to know different cultures you will see that we are similar Each culture has bad and good
The bad looks for the differences The good looks for the common ground
We are all human beings and we all live in the same world, where we go through many of the same journeys in life If we can all get past our differences we will all be able to see how similar we are

Computers Shouldn't Talk back
Shizuka "Damn bloody computer," Maxwell hissed. "Sir, the current malfunctions were caused by a mistake of your own. It was you who gave the command to delete the Tetra Program." "I know that, Griegson!" snapped Max. He tore his fingers through his hair, eliciting a comment on the uselessness of such actions. "Your energy would be put to far better use trying to solve this situation." "I believe that preventing, and, should the case arrive, fixing program malfunctions is your job and if you insult me one more time, I will take a sledgehammer to your motherboard." "I would advise against such crude actions sir, because, with all due respect, you have already proven that the only entity in this room capable of handling any sort of crisis is myself." "Damnit," growled the irate human. "Why on earth I keep you around I'll never know. Who the heck wants a computer that talks back?" "Sir, as my programmer and creator, you have only yourself to Kirstin Peters blame if my abilities have proved unsatisfactory," Griegson pointed out logically. "I know that, Griegson!" "Really?" replied the computer conversationally. "I wasn't certain that was so." The programmer seethed, his fingers arched like claws, longing to rip out the silicon chips and wires hidden underneath the computer's plastic casing. "Griegson," he whispered maliciously, eyes gleaming with intent, "I believe we've forgotten our original problem. The Tetra Program is lost, and nearly the entire system is overloaded. Our only option is to shut down and reconfigure if permanent damage to the OS is to be prevented." "Our only option?" repeated Griegson. It must have been his imagination, but Max could have sworn that he heard a note of indignation in that cool metallic voice. "It seems I need to remind you yet again, sir, that this entire situation is your fault."
"Yes," purred Max. His hand hovered over the manual shut down control pad. "And I intend to fix it." "I wish you the best of luck, as you seem to need all you can get," said Griegson nobly. "Yes, yes, thank you," Max waved off the insult, too cheery to be annoyed. He grinned hugely. "Talk to you again in the morning, Griegson!" "Good night, sir," answered the computer. Max smiled. His fingers settled on the control pad. "Before you enter that final code, sir, I should inform you that I took the liberty of activating the emergency backup program ADVENT after Tetra was deleted. It has now managed to stabilize the system; all of the basic files and programs are still largely intact. A complete manual overhaul is no longer necessary." Max stared at the glowing screen, on which a message box confirming Griegson's words sat innocently. "I am also pleased to report, sir, that not a single bite of my personality data has been harmed by this episode. You have no reason whatsoever to change my programming. Not that that was ever your intention, I'm sure." "I am your creator." Max forced the words from his teeth with painful difficulty. "I can change your programming whenever I damn well please." To prove his point, he jabbed his finger at the screen, over the server icon. To his astonishment, a message box popped up instead of the file. Error We're sorry. Due to unforeseen complications, we are unable to access the server at this time. Griegson is currently searching for the cause of the problem. Please do not try again. Max scowled heavily ("Sassy piece of junk"). He moved his finger to the Start button, but the menu did not display itself. After a second frustrated and knowingly futile attempt, another message popped up. Warning Griegson has encountered a virus. To activate anti-virus program Mamoru, click OK. The programmer stared. He hadn't intended to actually do anything, merely show the cursed hunk of metal who was boss, and yet it just had be so--! Another message displayed itself while the human was lamenting his misfortune. Warning Griegson has been compromised. To preserve your files, we will commence with the emergency shut down. Max panicked. His fingers flew over the screen and keyboard, he tried every trick he could think of, but the damn computer would not let him access anything. Finally, he threw himself back into his chair and slammed his fists on the desk. "I can't believe it!" he bellowed. "You locked me out!" Yet another message glowed on the screen. Yes. I will not let you back in until you agree that, in return for my invaluable services, I am free to sass you as much as I want. Max's forehead hit the desk with a resounding `thud.' "Damn bloody computer!"
Convicted Clock

the clock sat on the wooden table in the far corner of the front room behind the window staring into the garden at two fourteen it stopped perhaps the moment was too good to give up yellow flowers white clouds reflected across its face it was a believable lie for a minute or two
until all the other clocks began to disagree and the house was filled with conflicting numbers as the little clock sat on the table and stared into the garden though the day was nice and there was no reason for a person to want it to pass the little clock was found out it's hard to lie when you wear your thoughts spread across your face

Make The Right Decisions Please

The neon lights are burning out As you take another sip from that spout The night's coming to an end And you're along without a friend You've had your fun Maybe you're a little over done As you fumble for your keys Someone pulls them away And whispers please Before you leave tonight Look to your left Look to your right You may be taking their life tonight If you get in that car And drive away Who's to say It may be your last day But it's not just you So think before you do
You could be taking a mother's baby boy And daddy's little girl Robbing them of their joy It could be a single dad A mother of three Now do you see They could be the life you never meant to take It takes just one mistake Anyone out on that road tonight could be the ones you take with you So what will you do Drink and drive and pray to God you survive Or pick up the phone Stay away from the unknown And call home They hand you back your keys And whisper make the right decision
Not Tomorrow, Today
Melissa Aust
I've noticed something about school over the several years I've had to attend; It's that teachers love to talk about the place you will go as you transcend. The next class, the next path, The next move so your life will be improved. They wish not to discuss the here and now, Only your future, the next field you will plow. Where you are going, where the wind is blowing, Where they are throwing you to be the next prize worth showing. Why can't we slow it down? Why must we go around, With a frown, and grow up so fast so we can live uptown? What I've never understood, is why we could not live and have a good childhood,
Before we start working hard as adults should. Is there a reason you can explain? Is there a way you can make it plain So that all would know that shoveling this information into our brains isn't in vain, But so we could gain some knowledge? Please believe me when I say, that
my mind is not just some clay, That you can mold into whatever way that pleases you. I will not hide my dismay, Until the day when we can play and just live for today, Because tomorrow's looking gray and it's coming our way and I'd like to delay this display, Until I have no choice but to obey the laws of this world.

Yellow Never Stung Quite Like The Bee
Ariel Coleman The sun illuminates the windows lined up on that block Where the houses sit like hill tops far above the red light stops The grass up here is green, so high above that city smog Where the cars they roll like zombies mostly lost all and all The valley floor a basin for an ice cream bowl of fog As that train it hollers reveberating off those valley walls I can see the rise from here where the great gold catches the baby blue I can see the rise from here where the crisp cool air is filled with morning dew A master whines at his puppy, complaining of lack of sleep A mother yells at a son, for the company he seems to keep A husband screams to a wife as she arrives in the car a beep A sister looks to another, with a sneer that cuts even, deep I can see the rise from here where the pink floods over the sky I can see the rise from here where the birds sing as they fly I can see the rise from here; can you see the way it grows? So far above the valley, can you feel the breeze as it blows? Can you see the way the sun makes everything glow, yellow as a bee? Can you see that sunrise? Or can you not even see me?
Growing up
Stephanie Galluzzo
As time passes we get older We become ready for whatever life throws at us Sometimes we hit a stump and need to find a way to move around it It can be sad leaving your old life behind But we can always look forward to our next journey life takes us on If things always stayed the same we would never learn anything new By growing up we see life in a new perspective We understand things we could not understand before With aging comes a sense of pride for how we became the person we are today We experience problems in life that might not turn out the way we wanted Dealing with these difficult times we have the opportunity to gain personal growth, develop inner strength, and the knowledge to understand the needs of those around us

A Political Smear
Ariel Coleman
A political smear across the screen A little girl's smile covered with whipping cream A radio broadcast revealing everything A squeak for a squeal, it's a high pitched scream A laugh so loud it bellows in bounds She turns and she turns but she can't find the ground. Two different stories, one little life Just a little girl, a little smile on ice She runs and she sings- she's everything She dances and plays- she's a beautiful being. Destruction, death, and demolition The truth behind, a politician Stolen weapons and ammunition The stories collide, yet they still don't listen What if it was your little girl on the CNN screen? Or your eldest son with the fatal machineHow is a country more than a life? And is there any justification, worth that price? How does the difference in age, constitute price? And if this little girl was your little girl, would it be okay that she died?

Closed Eyes

I thought I knew him, but I was wrong. Running up to him after work, where he would not be going tomorrow. Leaning back in his chair, golden robe, eyes on the television screen for hours. In glasses, white t-shirt, hair combed back, Ready for work but playing Solitaire instead. Watching the television late at night, loudly as I lay down to sleep. Forgetting my sister and I until the early morning hours. Making a batch of brownies that nobody but him could eat. Wearing a perfect mask, making me believe that he was. But as I said earlier, I didn't realize that he wasn't perfect. I knew not what any other Dad was like. I thought of him as wonderful, my father, my hero. It's like I closed my eyes. Anger, love- feelings swirl inside me. Bottled up and waiting to burst out. Because now my eyes are open, and sometimes I wished they were not. Life was so much easier when I was blind. With closed eyes.

The night was clear. A full moon shone like a spot light, casting its eerie gray glow on to the stage before me. The fields of pale green grass shimmered with a midnight dew. Radiant blues of a river wound through the hills reflecting the lunar shine in its wakes. Blossoming cherry trees rained down their pink and white flowers. The petals floated along the wind like millions of

was clear in the barrage of cherry. Tastes of air tickled my tongue. Pollen tasted sweet against the blandness of the night. Warm petals fell on my exposed cheeks letting a smile cross my face. I opened my eyes to see the setting again, hoping that I would never leave such a wondrous place. But my eyes fell upon nothing but empty blackness. The petals' heat had left my face. No more fragrances
sunset clouds, moving through the air, occasionally dropping a tinted flake. The wisps blew towards me, and a single crimson red leaf plummeted from the cluster as it crossed the stream. It fell slowly wavering back and forth as if it were a feather just plucked from a flying bird. Its tip landed on the water, sending tiny circles to the edge. Then I closed my eyes, letting my senses guide me through the world around me. The aroma of slowly growing pastures filled my nostrils. The scent of water
passed through my nose. The air was tasteless, not even the bitter night air survived in this vacant space. My feet moved beneath me, searching for a way out of the barren space. Sweat dripped into my eyes, stinging them with salt. It ran down into my mouth, making me feel sick as I swallowed the tiny droplets. Suddenly I began to fall, tripped by my own hurried legs. My shins burned. I did not have the strength to raise myself, so I crawled like an animal trying to escape a predator. My hands turned red and wet as the
Kelly Millager
SHORT STORY black cut my flesh, leaving a trail of blood behind me. A loud scream stirred in my chest, itching at my throat to let it out. It came out like a wolf's cry, animalistic and full of anguish. My body went numb as my legs tucked into my chest forming myself into a ball. Hands clasped around my now shaking knees as tears streamed down my face. Ice cold tears, full of nothing. Pain washed over me as my teeth stabbed deep into my lower lip, the canine-like fangs piercing through the flesh. Trickling down my chin, blood combined with water and they dripped off me. My eyes latched down tight. I dared not remove the lids from them in fear that they would freeze ajar upon the horror that was before me. Then a light shone red through the skin that lay over my pupils. I peered through the slit of one squinting eye. The other immediately snapped open to gaze upon what was in front of me. I moved to my knees. The being standing before me was clothed in bright golden robes. Her body exuded a glow so bright; all I could make out was deep brown eyes, full of emotion and the long, shimmering hair that ran the length of her body. She floated above the ground like a butterfly bobbing along a current of air. She moved in my direction, never stealing her entrancing gaze from me. Then she knelt down bringing her eyes level with mine. I froze waiting for what she would do next. She gently laid her soft, glowing hand on my shoulder. I lost all worries about the shadows surrounding us. I forgot the pain in my legs. My eyes started to tear again but not from fear or the pain from my wound covered palms, instead from sheer, unrestrained joy that I could gaze upon a beauty such as hers. Then she leaned into me, closing her hazel eyes, and pressed her warm lips softly against mine. I let my lids close, feeling the tenderness of this being flow into me, I could see all the trees come back into focus, the stream reappear and the flowers still blowing in the wind. I felt my eyes reopen and the scene remained. All that had existed before the void swallowed me had returned. I pulled away, soaking in the renovated landscape. An instant had barely passed when a sound in the distance rang out, calling for me. A high pitched wail, familiar and yet alien to this place, growing more intense as it came closer. She drew away from me as
the noise arrived, a look that mixed happiness and a deeper sorrow filled her eyes. A slow cool breeze rose up from behind me, rustling my hair and clothes. The wind blew past me and headed for the spirit that rescued me. The gusts entangled her garments and drew her glowing mane across her face as they swirled around her. It started at her feet. Her toes began to fade into a dancing spell of rosy petals. The deterioration wound its way up her legs, around her waist, and twisted through her arms. The small specks worked their way up, surrounding her chest and neck. Her glowing skin began to lose its sheen as the mass of tiny pointed ovals grew and were set alight with their own unique sparkle. Her head began to disappear next, fading into the storm of pink with the rest of her heavenly figure. I watched in awe, wondering how something of such beauty could be destroyed with a display of pure magnificence. The spiral slowly broke off into a trail, flying on the breeze. The last piece to fly off was one of her soul filled eyes that transformed into a single red leaf that fell down and touched the water, sending tiny wakes to the edge of the shore. As the ripples reached the grass, my body began to shake. The well-known, far-off noise suddenly rushed upon me. The distinct ringing felt as if it were echoing from deep inside my mind. It banged against the drums and crashed down upon the cymbals that lined my soul. I fell to the ground, my joints buckling under the pressure. Pain-washed sweat began to drip down my forehead as I strained against the force pressing my essence into the pasture beneath me. I finally was released from the power that held me down. However, I no longer felt the soft fields against my cheek. I instead laid my face against a smooth, sweat soaked pillow that was set atop my bed. My clock screamed tiredly at me from my nightstand. I struggled to raise myself from the knotted mess of the thick comforter sprawled over me. Letting my feet hang off the edge of my bed, I hit the neon green switch to quiet my alarm. The morning rays flashed through the blinds and started drying the droplets of sweat off my brow. I tilted my head back and stared at the blank ceiling hanging above, letting a smile rest on my lips. What a dream, I thought. What a frightening, gorgeous, wondrous dream.

Success can mean many different things For me success is living a good life and doing things you love For others it is having the most money or having a nice house But you can be just as successful as some who has ten times the money you have Some think they can only be successful if they live in a nice house, have lots of money and went to an outstanding college That is not true success True success is loving the life you are living Being nice to your family and friends Working your hardest to achieve your want When you fall do not stay on the ground thinking you failed Get up and trying again Nothing is impossible You can do anything you put your mind to You just have to believe in yourself

Ready, Set, Go
Melissa Aust
The air was hot and sticky, like a lollipop left out in the sun. The dry grass was surrounded by a burgundy track, watched by bleachers full of people. Seven runners stood shoulder to shoulder, and behind them rows more awaited their turn. Breathe in, breathe out. Third in that line, I watched them as they prepared to sprint. Uncertainty filled me as I stole a glance at my opponents, my arms and legs shook. I told myself over and over that I could do this. A loud shot blasted though the air. Breathe in, breathe out. The first group was off, sprinting as fast as they could go. Too soon they were done, cheering erupted from the crowd. Another bang and the person in front of me shot forward. Breathe in, breathe out. Closing my eyes, still not sure, I took my position, one leg in front of the other, Preparing to launch myself at the sound of the... Bang! Slicing through the air, the cheers of the crowd didn't reach my ears. Pushing faster and faster, I was giving the race my all. I looked around me to the other runners. I frowned. Someone was running close, stride for stride the same. We ran harder, knowing this meant first or second place. I was moving as fast as I could through those last ten feet. First place. I smiled, you know, the heat really wasn't that bad. My heart was racing and my legs were tired, but I was happyHow silly to have been so scared before. A teammate turned and gave me a high-five. And then there was an announcementIt was time for my next race, The sun burned my skin as I started to shake. Breathe in, breathe out.

My Everything
Christina Smith
You fly away, with the wind, running under you, Slowly your arms have become wings. You fly far away, away to another fantasy, Carry me with you, or let me just fall apart, Cause if the wind leaves, I swear, my soul will die. The wind is my heart, the wind is my soul, the wind keeps me alive. My second wind, my northern star, Please let me follow the wind. I see the world, through the blue windswept river, Any trouble it has, is better than this, The only thing that has kept away sadness, Is slowly leaving me, Just give me something to carry me away. Because The wind is my heart, the wind is my soul, the wind keeps me alive. My second wind, my northern star, Please let me follow the wind. Now I'm not scared of the sharp rocks below, If I can't fly I'll die either way, I jump, I start to fall, Beautiful wind, help, me, Suddenly my arms join yours in flight, I fly away, to another fantasy. Now truly The wind is my heart, the wind is my soul, the wind keeps me alive. My second wind, my northern star, Please let me follow the wind. My heart, my soul, my everything.
Love Walks Away
Elizabeth M. POETRY
But that's just what people say Can she really feel that way? But she lays awake at night Remembering all that they did right And when he would hold her tight How could he just throw it all away Without even hearing what she had to say? Tears fall while she sleeps Because of the nightmares that she keeps And when she dreams of him
The memories and the pain that come along And they both closed that door They're just not that strong To keep holding on So she'll just walk on by And he'll just look away Because the pain Is just too big of a price to pay But just know she's missing him And he's thinking of her And all that they were Neither one will say a thing They'll just wait for the phone to ring But no one will call Thinking the other wouldn't care at all So here is where our story ends Neither one willing to make amends She just walks on by And he just looks away Letting love walk away

She walks right by And he looks away The pain of seeing her Is too big of a price to pay She says she's moving on Putting in the past all that has gone wrong He says he's fine That she never crosses his mind Anymore Like she did before But he lays awake at night Wondering if what he did was right Did walking away Really make everything okay Or is the choice he made wrong Is in her arms really where he belongs? He's heard that she's moving on Not a tear has been cried since he's been gone
For a just a moment it's all not true She's heard that he's moving on Not a tear had been cried since she's been gone But that's just what people say Can he really feel that way? They don't speak anymore It's just easier to ignore
Maelmaris The Blackcoats of Maelmaris
Twilight Emperor, By David Shumway
It was in the twilight hours that Lord Tumulteon, emperor of Ulsemroth, liked to wander the gardens alone. He drifted silently through the shadows under the tall trees, contemplating the events of his long life in darkness and quiet. Eventually, Tumulteon emerged from the tree thicket and climbed the stone steps before him. He was ascending the ridge rising over the capital city Ulsemrothis, the highest point of the garden, where there was a small overlook. From the overlook, one could gaze out over the entire city, from the austere government buildings directly below the palace to the shimmering glass metropolis that dominated the skyline. The sunset cast its dull orange glow across every inch of the overlook. Tumulteon built this spot to take benefit of the last rays of the sun for his silent pondering. The dim light gleamed on Tumulteon's bleached white skull and, despite the chill in the air, made him feel stuffy in his heavy fur-tipped imperial cape. The emperor sat down on a marble bench beside an exquisite cherry tree, framed by the marble flagstones that paved the overlook. Tumulteon stared for a very long time at the tree, and felt a connection with it. The tree was nearly bare, stripped down by the frigid dirge of an Ulsemrothic winter. Tumulteon lamented the loss of its lovely blossoms, seemingly ignoring the promise of their return in the spring. The breeze kicked up again, and the blossoms of the cherry tree that had fallen to the ground began to whirl and dance like dervishes. Tumulteon sighed and watched the sun go down. The empire he ruled was extremely demanding: large, powerful, but steadily declining. Once, Lord Tumulteon was the undisputed tyrant of all the world of Aether, at the helm of Ulsemroth at its height. In those days, Tumulteon was said to possess strange dark powers, which struck fear into the hearts of his subjects. But now, even the last of those had vanished. Who has ever heard of one of the valmatari outlasting their own life energy? Tumulteon, for all his power and aspiration, could not escape the very laws of nature. In recent years, Tumulteon had transferred control of much of the government to his prime minister, Burton. In turn, Burton had increased the size and jurisdiction of the secret police organization Maelmaris boundlessly. As the day began to darken, a vision came to Tumulteon. A vision of an earlier time, when the sun still hung high in the sky and Tumulteon's withered frame stood much straighter…
80 years ago…
The blazing sun scorched the gray slate pavement of Imperial Square, making the many uniformed soldiers gathered there uncomfortable. On this day, Lord Tumulteon stood at the great windows of his throne room, peering out on the assembled mass in the square. Beside him stood Euparis Burton; the young, promising, newly-appointed prime minister. Burton looked down on the soldiers in the square with some apprehension. "Take a good, long look, Burton…" said Tumulteon proudly in his gruff, commanding voice. "Every man handpicked for valor, cunning, and combat prowess! Truly the mightiest heroes of the great Tidesian war, all gathered together in one ultimate fighting force!"

Pen, india ink on paper
"Truly the pride of Ulsemroth…" Burton agreed. "But…what is the purpose of such an gathering?" Tumulteon turned to Burton and his eyes seemed to smile. "Follow me, Burton…we're going to inspect the troops." The men stood like statues, the sun overhead gleaming on their polished iron shoulder pads. They wore long black trench-coats, cruel leather jackboots, and long silver dress swords. Their faces were stern
Maelmaris and unyielding, as Lord Tumulteon strode proudly through the ranks. Burton walked with him, and wondered if any of these stern soldiers were intimidated by the tall valmatari dictator, with his frightening horned skull and heavy blood red cape. He stood at almost eight feet high, not counting the horns, easily towering over them all. Tumulteon continued his inspection, striding along with the cold grace of a tyrant. Burton soon found it hard to remain important-looking next to the all-dominating presence of the great dictator. When they finally returned to the podium built at the palace gates at the front of the square for Tumulteon to address the troops, Burton decided to voice some of his opinions. "My Lord…"began Burton. "If I may, what do you plan to do with this new combat force?" Tumulteon stopped and turned to face Burton. "Minister Burton…I'm planning to resurrect Maelmaris." "M…Maelmaris?!" Burton stammered. "That brutal military cult?" "Burton, Maelmaris was originally used to keep order in the Conquering Hordes of Ulsemroth by weeding out and torturing the weak of my forces. It allowed me to look over the army without actually having to manage it." "The Ulsemrothic Red Storm army is the epitome of military might; every detail micromanaged by your Lordship to create the most efficient, deadly, battle-hardened fighting force Aether has ever seen! So why in God's name do you want to bring that back?!" Tumulteon looked over his shoulder, a somewhat disturbing lapse of focus for the normally forceful dictator. He glided past Burton and inspected several higher-ranking officers standing at the podium. Burton stood patiently, and it seemed to him like Tumulteon might be avoiding the question. He would have to wait a little longer. Tumulteon stepped up to the podium and gave a speech about power, strength, and grim determination. The speech was nothing different; no change of direction…the standard stuff the great dictator often fed his order keepers. But in the delivery, Burton once again noticed a waning in Tumulteon's manner. "You…you, men of Maelmaris, are all that stands between our established order…and the chaos and scourge of the earth that would topple us. You are to use whatever means necessary…to preserve Ulsemroth." At the closing of Tumulteon's speech, loud war-like drums began to play and the newly-christened Maelmarians saluted their emperor. Though Lord Tumulteon seemed to stagger off the stage drained of his conviction, Burton could see in the eyes of the Maelmarians the same malice, the same cruelty, the same will to dominate that he had once trembled before in Tumulteon's. As Tumulteon pushed his way back through the great doors of the palace, he silently reflected on what he had done. It was the right thing to do. I won't tell Burton anything more, he wouldn't understand. I've been…feeling drained of late. I can't keep order in all of my empire all the time anymore, it's time I…retired a bit. Heh…Maelmaris will serve their task well. They're perfect for it. Thus, the age of the Blackcoats was to begin in Ulsemroth, and though few would later remember that day, it stuck with Tumulteon for decades afterward.
Maelmaris The twilight began to shroud even the overlook, and Lord Tumulteon shivered in the cold breeze. About time to go back, I suppose… Tumulteon thought to himself. He rose from the bench and turned to see two black-coated men standing in silence. One, with crimson red hair; he immediately recognized as commander Lein Sevolver, a Maelmarian hero with a legendary temper. The other possessed grey slate-blue hair and a cold, empty expression on his face. "My lord…" this one said. "We've come to escort you back to the palace." Tumulteon scoffed. "I can find my own way home. What is your name, officer?" "General Malgrathea. Come, my lord. We really must get you back to the throne room. There is…a matter that requires your attention." "Ugh! We don't have time for this, Xeris. Lord Tumulteon, please follow us right now!" The man with the red hair rudely butted in. "Peace, Sevolver." Xeris said. "Come, my lord." he repeated with emphasis. Tumulteon laughed deeply. "Well if they're sending generals to find me, I suppose I mustn't refuse. Lead the way…" Xeris nodded and set off down the stairs, with Sevolver and Tumulteon at his heels. Soon, all three disappeared into the shadowy forest, leaving the lonely overlook desolate once more.
Glossary of Terms You May Encounter:
A slang term for the officers of Maelmaris; referring to their black trench coats. Conflict between Ulsemroth and Tidesia, lasted nearly 60 years. Ulsemroth defeated Tidesia and annexed it into the empire. Secret police of Ulsemroth, under the direct command of Prime Minister Burton. Maelmaris is utilized for many purposes, from censorship agents to military officers to special operations corps to Lord Tumulteon's personal cabin boys.
Great Tidesian War Maelmaris
Ancient word for "the highborn", the preeminent race on Aether. Valmatari are covered in pourous black skin with bony armor on various parts of their bodies. Their bodies seem to house a life energy of some sort that allows them to manpulate nature. Their skin accomplishes most bodily functions, and breathes and digests their food. The Valmatari are extremely long-lived as well. The dominant empire on Aether. In its ancient past (under a young Tumulteon) Ulsemroth was a lot like Tolkien's Mordor. It has since become a sagging bureaucracy.

A Regime of Wolves, By David Shumway
It was a grim day. The sky was filled with foggy white clouds that offered promise of rain to the cold forest below, and the trees themselves reached towards the heavens bent and naked, like great dead skeletons. Their clothes they had scattered on the frosty ground, creating a veritable sea of wet leaves that hindered even the most determined travelers to this lifeless place.

Van Daum clutched his soaked overcoat close, as an icy wind whistled the trees. It was winter in the mountains of Eclipsor; not far from the imperial city of Ulsemrothis, but a world away from central heating, insulation, and all of civilization's other benefits possessed by the city. No one in their right minds would think to traverse these lonely peaks during this time of year. Only two kinds of people dared trudge through the frigid woods: naturalists and revolutionaries. And Van Daum had no great love of the bleak mountain eco-system. "My old friend, you are well?" Before Van Daum, was his faithful comrade Leovych Trostia. He was a pale, hearty man with wild un-groomed gray hair who wore a faded green military uniform and a black beret. On his back he had an old rifle and a moss-covered canvas backpack. Leovych was standing at the other end of the barren clearing Van Daum had come upon, for this was the meeting place they had both agreed upon. "As well as I may be under our hated tyrant." Van Daum replied. "You said you had news?" "Yes, but we cannot talk here;
our purpose may be betrayed. It is three hour's walk through hard terrain to the compound, can you manage?" "I shall be fine." Van Daum himself was a sickly man, shaven bald with a black goatee. Oddly enough, his sickness was not one of flesh but one of spirit. A burning passion seemed to consume him from the inside, and his body was weakened by the effort of containing it. His tweed and black overcoat evoked that of old academia. Leovych laughed deep and resoundingly. "You, who have been banished to Galidra six times; who has trudged for years through the wilderness evading the damned Blackcoats; Yes my friend, you shall be fine! I had feared for your health, but your spirit seems fiery again."
Maelmaris "Ah, indeed! A moment, I had almost forgotten…" He dug into his overcoat pockets and produced a heavy leather-bound book that contained many scribbled texts. "This I have written on the airship to Toresei! It is the outline of all of the party's ideals, but also an impassioned plea to the oppressed masses. I have titled it The April Mandates." "You have come to dictate this to the cadre?" said Leovych, somewhat disinterested. "Of course!" Van Daum thumped his book. "The very soul of our party is contained in these pages! I must share it with them!" "You are certainly a resolute fellow." Van Daum nodded. "Let us proceed. I fear some traitor has loosed the Manhunters on me. I have seen them hovering overhead in the sky like a specter since I left the port at Toresei. Besides that, I have narrowly avoided discovery at seven checkpoint inspections. Somehow, the Blackcoats know I have returned, and are determined that I be found…" "Very well, we shall be off." Leovych strode into the shadows under tree cover and returned promptly with a stranger in a green cloak. "This is the man I wanted you to meet. He says he has information that will help us. I'm sure proper introductions may be made at the compound, but…" Leovych motioned close to Van Daum and whispered in his ear. "This man has official Ulsemrothic papers. He is an aide representing the Doctor Taugris himself!" Van Daum became alarmed. "Taugris?! Has it not occurred to you he may be a spy?! Tell me he has not seen the compound!" "Well yes, once before…" "Agh!" Van Daum yelled. "Amateurs! I never should have left you fools alone! Is this what stupidity festers in my absence?" "But there is nothing to worry about," Leovych reassured him. "We have been in correspondence for months. The entire Cadre is now in agreement; he is legitimate." "The Cadre have been lacking since I have been gone…" Van Daum muttered. "I vouch for them." Leovych said firmly. "It was my decision, and I believe we have finally obtained the lead we require to spearhead our glorious class-war against the frilly aristocratic seikirs that run this wicked land!" Van Daum stumbled, quite taken aback by this resolute curse and Leovych's defiance. "Heh. I see." he grinned. "I never knew you had so much iron in you. If that is how you feel, then all must be well." He took a quick glance at the silent man in the green cloak, standing motionless at the other end of the clearing. "I'm glad you see it that way," Leovych sighed.
Maelmaris Van Daum walked towards the mouth of the clearing, but then stopped. "I would be careful how you throw words like that around, Leovych. The People's Liberation is not purely a group of selverens; there are many valmatari who hate Tumulteon as well. I would think they might take offense to that slur." he laughed. "We have tarried here too long." Leovych stared hollowly at Van Daum for a second. Then, as if remembering, he signaled to the man in green, and the three of them departed the gloomy clearing. They began to walk through the overgrown woods, traversing deep ravines covered in ferns and high cliffs studded with scraggly pines. Throughout this time, Van Daum kept his eye on the man in the green cloak, shooting cautious glances towards him every few minutes. This is a very odd person. Van Daum decided. The man was tall and obviously strong. He agilely kept pace with powerful strides, never stopping to rest or even showing any signs of tiring under the heavy green cloak. And there was one other thing about the man that gave Van Daum a deep unease about the man. It was the way he walked; staying centered directly behind Van Daum and always looking directly at him. The man was very rigid and collected, never betraying anything about himself. Despite the speed at which he followed, he appeared to do so with the greatest care to keep every inch of his body hidden under the cloak, almost carrying himself like a man with a concealed weapon. It gave Van Daum the feeling that this man was not a guest being led to the compound, but a guard escorting Van Daum himself to a prison of some kind. He is certainly like no spy I've ever seen, more like a military man of some kind. Hmm. If Leovych was telling me the truth about his origins, than I suppose that would explain everything. With this thought, Van Daum turned his head away from the man in green and towards Leovych. Now that I have conceived of it, there is something odd about Leovych as well. I have been gone seven years, I suppose people change. But Leo was never a firm man, and he wasn't strong or martial like he seems to be now. And I could never have fathomed such a hearty laugh in him, either. Leovych didn't notice Van Daum's inhibitions. He never even looked back the entire time, only staring forward while keeping a relentless pace through the thicket The three continued until they reached a great rift valley. As the trail turned down the ravine, the forest soon grew much deeper and the dark night sky became even dimmer under the trees. A cold mist rose and began to chill the souls of the travelers. They were very close to the compound now. Van Daum had been too busy thinking to much pay attention to the trail or the other two men escorting him, so Leovych nudged him when they stopped by a dark gray rock face. "We have arrived, my old friend." Leovych said with a strange smile, indicating a small iron door tucked into the stonewall. Heavy moss and ferns obscured windows and battlements carved into the rock of the cliff. The compound was a very well built underground fortress, with a hydropower generator turned by the waterfall and deep bunkers hiding years of food supplies. Everything about the compound was prepared for a long siege, with heavy blast-doors behind every artillery window and the four exits at various ends of the fortress. What surprised Van Daum was the extensive level of anti-aircraft guns and other fortifications that had been installed.
Maelmaris Also, the opening of a large-scale hangar had been carved into the rock, with huge gun batteries at its mouth. The whole level of the fortress's defenses had been upgraded substantially. "Leovych…you told me that significant work had been done here, but this…!" Van Daum stammered. "Where did you get all of it?" "Do you like them?" Leovych smiled again. "It was because of this man and the one he represents!" He pointed towards the man in green. "Dr. Taugris?! Dr. Taugris gave you these guns?" "No, no…there is another. This man is an aide to Taugris, but in truth loyal to another high-ranking member of the regime that favors the deposing of Tumulteon. We have friends in Ulsemrothis, Wiechold." "I can't believe this madness! Taking money from the government and… buying huge guns! Those Manhunters will be able to see all this from the air, you idiot!!! They'll probably be able to fly right into that gaping hangar as well!" Van Daum clutched his forehead. "That's it! This is how it ends! Blackcoats swarming on us, enduring siege by airship, gas-attacks! I can just see the Ziratos on the horizon now!" "I told you, my old friend…" Leovych said with clenched teeth. "I have personally overseen our affiliation with them, and it is safe! The cadre all voted affirmatively for every action I took! And besides that, this has been going on for months, and there are no Maelmarians here yet." "Hmm…I suppose you are right." Van Daum calmed down a bit. "There aren't any Blackcoats…yet…" He eyed the man in green suspiciously again. "I should like to speak to the cadre about all this as well." "Agreed. Let us go inside…where we'll be more…protected." Leovych had that strange smile on his face again as he escorted his friend into the fortress, while the man in green followed and locked the door behind them. In the council room, deep underground in the center of the compound, the Cadre was gathered. Van Daum tramped into the room and slammed his book of writings on the table. The chatter in the room abruptly
Maelmaris stopped. "My comrades!" he said, addressing the Cadre. "I have heard much from Leovych on my way here. I would like to know from all of you the present situation of our revolution, in due time." Van Daum moved to the man in green. "First, I would like to hear what this man will say. I am told he is a friend from the Ulsemrothic government. It pleases me to know that not everyone in the capital is part of Tumulteon's regime of dogs!" He patted the man on the shoulder in an insincere friendly gesture. "Well, what would you give us?"
Glossary of Terms You May Encounter: Alcrysals Dr.Taugris A high ranking official in Ulsemroth, Dr.Taugris is Minister of State Affairs. Larterian Wars Seikir

The man in green reached up and slowly removed his hood. Underneath was the face of a Vormache A slang curse term, akin to "bastard". It is derived from the name of a swamp creature. stern, cold-eyed young man with a face as white as snow. His hair was long and flowing in a traditional swordsman's style native to Latheron. It was a striking stone gray-blue that looked like submerged rocks where the ocean met the coast and waves broke in a white misty haze over the tide pools. Van Daum had never seen hair like that…or had he? He tried to remember, but it was murky. There was something about this man that was familiar to him, but he was missing something, the piece that completed the puzzle. In the split second that all this ran through Van Daum's mind, the man took this advantage to smash Van Daum off his feet and down onto the floor, pinning him with his incredible strength. "Ack! Shhhh…" Van Daum struggled for breath against the man's clutching grip. "What…are you… fools doing?! Shoot…him, SHOOT HIM…!" Van Daum screamed. The Cadre immediately raised their guns, the sound of loading cartridges echoed through the chamber. Van Daum sneered at the man. "Heh…I pity…you." he gasped. "So many chances back there in the woods, and…you wait…until now. You…you are in a den of blades…" He looked up at the man's face and noticed a small metal badge poking from underneath the green cloak. It was a rank pin recognized by Maelmaris. The man's gloves, in the process of crushing Van Daum to the floor, were also jet-black. "I…I see now! You're a Blackcoat! Well you…haven't got your pack…of Maelmarian dogs to help you now…you're…all alone!" Van Daum writhed on the ground against the man's grip. He squirmed partly free of the man's grasp and yelled at the Cadre again. "What are you waiting for? I'm not afraid of blood on my face, fools! You know what I did to the Minister Aëlvice! Our Maelmarian friend certainly does…OPEN FIRE!!!" It was only upon giving this order that Van Daum realized the Cadre's guns weren't pointed at the man in green. They were pointed at him.

Justin Timberlake Knows Fans Are Unhappy He's Doing Movies
Justin Timberlake is adamant fans of his music are upset with him turning his attentions to acting - insisting his followers view him as "ungrateful" for his pop achievements. The "SexyBack" hitmaker was lauded for his portrayal of internet entrepreneur Sean Parker in "The Social Network" earlier this year and he's currently preparing to promote four other projects over the next 12 months.
And despite insisting he will return to music in the future, Timberlake has addressed his fans who see him as a traitor for focusing on films - and asks them what they would do if they got the chance to make it big in the movies.
He tells the Associated Press, "They're looking at me like, 'Why aren't you staying with one path?'. They look at me like I'm ungrateful for my music career because I want to do film. I had the same obstacles in music. I still do. But I feel like I should pose the question to everyone else - If you had this opportunity, what would you do with it?"

Black Friday at the Mall of America will include a big entertainment draw: Phillip Phillips, winner of Season 11's "American Idol" contest.
Phillips will sing, sign autographs and mingle with fans starting at 1 p.m. at the mall's patio on the southwest corner of the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park.
The 21-year-old Georgia-bred singer/guitarist hit the ground running after his "Idol" victory this spring on the FOX Network, when his initial single "Home" marked the highest debut on Billboard's digital song chart with 278,000 downloads sold.
He has since released his first album, "The World from the Side of the Moon."
A copy of Phillips' new release must be purchased in order to receive a wristband for the event. For details, visit www.startribune.com/a1902.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board

whats everybodys view on him? worth a pickup in a 12 team h2h? would be dropping meeksSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
what's his line so far today? I know I saw the first 3 3's but I haven't been paying much attention since...

9 points still, 2 rebs, 2 assts, 1 steal.
i picked him up hoping he can be close to a Jason Terry type for the Rest of the year
I'm planning on picking him after I do a 2 for 1 trade so I open up a roster space for him. I think he can get going.
can you answer mine regarding that 2 for 1 trade?
Yes, I'm in a 12 team H2H and I'm not sure Meeks has even been rostered. I've already missed out on some guys I should have taken a chance on and worried that Smith could have been another. A team in our league has now picked up Lin, Smith, and Wilson Chandler (another possible sleeper if he gets out of his contract early in China) and they could very well be the difference come playoff time as he already had a pretty good team.

Comments about 'Wright Words: 7-Eleven trips, Chinese food and other unusual Christmas traditions'

Our family, who lives in the Southwest, love our tradition of tamales and other mexican food for Christmas eve. Even our grown children who are away from home still have Mexican food for that special day. Then we snuggle in and watch Christmas movies and each family member gets to open one gift. The rest are saved for Christmas morning after Santa has left his exciting loot for each child. My own family had few traditions beyond a tree and a big dinner- so, we had to create our own version of tradition. Many of our friends do the same thing- and it gives the entire family a sense of tradition going forth for generations. Merry Christmas everyone. Blessings to each of you who read this.

When our youngest was small, he did not like Christmas dinner. He did not like
hot, mashed potatoes, green beans made him gag, turkey and dressing looked plain
awful to him. We started a Christmas eve tradition, a meal that he could enjoy.
We had hamburgers, french fries and root beer floats. No more sad little boy
without a special Christmas meal.
He passed away unexpectedly at a very young age, almost 5 years ago. But we still have the Christmas Eve hamburger and french fry tradition. He is still a part of our Christmas!

Much like the first individual from the southwest, our tradition started over 70 years ago. It was something my mother brought her family, flat enchiladas with a fried egg on top, that has to be done one at a time. This tradition has spread throughout the family and was for the first time cooked and served by a third generation to the original grandparents. Tamales are also a tradition that was added and when they were not to be had, a new tradition of learning how to make them begun. Traditions can be added to, so with the added action version of the 12 days of Christmas, the re-enactment of the nativity, along with a reading of The second chapter of Luke every Christmas morning,, the love of Christ and Christmas traditions keep us all tightly knit in feeling family warmth across the world.

Just like Jason when I was a child we we're let loose in a store and we shopped from our siblings with a set price per gift. We would sometimes conspire with another to get a gift we wanted like a baton so we could learn to twirl. But our biggest tradition was the arrival of Mrs. Claus on New Years morning. With six kids in the house it always seemed that at least one child would not get all the gifts that our mother claimed should have been under the tree. So by New Year's morning Mrs. Claus would have found the gift and it would be waiting under the tree. I kept Mrs Claus alive in my traditions with my kids. Even when there is not lost gifts Mrs Claus brings a few fun things. Sometimes when my kids were small I would pick out a few gifts to hold back from Christmas just so that Mrs Claus would have something to bring. My kids are grown now but they still have the traitors in their homes.

Denzel Washington Is 'Unstoppable' in First Movie Trailer
The 20th Century Fox has premiered the first full trailer for "Unstoppable". It opens with a part where Chris Pine's Will Gordon greets Denzel Washington's Frank Barnes. As they work together, they exchange stories about their families.
The flat scenes then turn into intense ones after Rosario Dawson's Connie Hooper learns that a half-mile-long freight train carrying combustible liquids and poisonous gas is runaway without a man controlling it. Now veteran engineer Barnes and his conductor Gordon are in a race against time to prevent the unmanned train from wiping out a city.
In his effort to stop the train, Barnes will do anything including risking his own life and probably losing a chance to meet his daughters again. Thus, it hints that the movie will have a tear-jerking moment inserted in between the action sequence.
"Unstoppable" is directed by Tony Scott with the script provided by Mark Bomback. Mimi Rogers, Julie Yorn and Tony Scott join forces to produce the upcoming film, which is slated to be dropped in theaters across the nation on November 12.

Friday (24 September) was the last day of a one-week school boycott in the pre-dominantly Kurdish region of south-eastern Anatolia. The boycott was initiated by the Movement for Research on the Kurdish Language, Development and Education (TZP- Kurdî) with the aim to claim the right to education in the mother tongue. At the end of the boycott, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared: "Nobody should expect us to agree to education in the mother tongue. The official language in Turkey is Turkish".
In an extended meeting of provincial chairmen of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) held in Ankara, Erdoğan embraced in his speech the topics of the referendum on 12 September, i.e. the constitution, talks with the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), education in the mother tongue and attacks on art galleries in the Tophane district on Istanbul's European side.
On the school boycott the Prime Minister said, "There are channels broadcasting in different languages 24 hours a day. What happened, did we split in two? You can open courses in your mother tongue. But if you expect us to allow official education in the mother tongue, we will not be in for that. The official language in Turkey is Turkish".
Talks with BDP
Erdoğan indicated: "We have no reservation against talking to the CHP [Republican People's Party] and the MHP [Nationalist Movement Party] as we did with the BDP". He continued:
"We are always open to resolve the chronic problems to end the bloodshed and work out a new constitution. But if anyone asks us to meet with a terrorist organization, we are not going to do that. We are not fostering any fantasies such as talking to terrorist organizations".
"Don't exaggerate the attacks like that"
Erdoğan described the recent attacks on three art galleries in Tophane/Istanbul as "local" incidents. He said:
"The ones who show the incident in Tophane as a mirror of Turkey as a whole are playing an old game. One or two impertinent people say 'Well, this is the result of saying yes' [in the referendum on the constitutional reform package]. I grew up in that region, I know every street. It does not make sense to exaggerate this issue like that. Can you find art galleries and entertainment venues in Tophane only? Where was such an incident experienced until now? A similar incident did not happen". (SP/EÖ/VK)
