First Morning
Chapter 6:
The warm breeze sweeps over my bare legs and slithers through my tousled, blond hair as I slowly wake up. I know this breeze isn't reminiscent of Toronto, but still, I lie in my comfy bed and let the morning wind caress every inch of my exposed body. I remember turning off the too-cold air conditioning in the room and instead opting for the cool of the night. Now, the sound of dancing drapes thinly covering the windows and the cries of seagulls and morning song birds wakes me from my comfortable sleep. I know I should be pissed right now about not waking up in my bed in down-town Toronto, but I allow myself a morning reprieve from being so miserable.
I yawn and kick back the rest of the sheets covering me. Stretching, I finally catch a glimpse on my new room in the morning sunlight. Last night, Gabrielle and I had returned just before our moms headed for bed. This was obviously a mistake since they'd made a huge fuss about showing me my huge new room. It was a soft purple with expensive-looking decor on the ceiling. I now have my own private bathroom and a shared balcony with Gabrielle, whose room is right beside mine.
Sitting up in bed, the events of last night at the party flood back. All the beautiful teens and Gabrielle fully enveloped in his girlfriend's hug. I know I shouldn't care, but a part of me stings with something that tells me that I should be caring. I try to shake off the feeling and get up from my new king sized memory foam mattress. God, even I have to admit that this bed is perhaps the most comfortable thing in the world.
One of the few things I'd done last night was unpack my laptop. Now it sits expectantly on my new black and white desk (small white flowers inside the black borders). The few things that my mom and I had packed into a small moving truck are on their way now, passing through intersections and small towns. My books, DVDs, and other miscellaneous objects will be here in a few days and the idea that that will make the move all the more permanent, makes my stomach churn.
I press the on button and walk through the double glass doors leading to the wide balcony. How anyone can get used to this kind of lifestyle is beyond me. Everywhere I look, from the grandness of my room to the oasis-like quality of the backyard, seems over-the-top for me. I mean, it is beautiful, but it makes the house feel more like a museum than a home. But hell, I am new here, what can I possibly know?
My hands grasp the stone railing of the balcony, taking in the heat from the morning sun that has already seeped in through the hard surface. The smell of grass and salt water from the pool is carried on the wind and it awakens me further. I may be mad at mom for doing this to me, but I might as well make the best of the situation. She just doesn't have to know that.
A loud grunt from somewhere in the backyard catches my attention. I lean as far as I dare to on the railing and see a very shirtless, very tanned Gabrielle working out on one of those large abdominal machines that are often on commercials. For a few minutes, I stand there and watch him from my voyageur's spot, but then a loud melody from my laptop back inside signals to me that I've got mail and I duck back into my room. It's from Sophie. I groan with embarrassment as I recall her making me promise to write her as soon as I was here.
From: Sophie LeVerde
To: Kristina Trinity
Where have you been? I'm freaking out here because last time I remember, I told SOMEONE to send me an email when that said SOMEONE arrived in Cali. Okay, whatever your reasons, save them because right now I'm just curious about your situation. Is it as bad as you thought it would be? Did your mom meet up with some Spanish dude or something up there? Were we right to assume that she just wanted to start her new dating agenda? Spill, spill woman! Without you, I just have Clara and Trista's gossip, which if you recall, isn't much compared to our looooong storytelling adventures! How's the new place? The new family? Oh god, how is that guy that you haven't seen since you were four?
Patiently yours, Sophie
From: Kristina Trinity
To: Sophie LeVerde
Ugh, the first thing I noticed when I got here was the heat, so maybe I got a heat stroke or something and forgot to write. Sorry!!
My mom didn't meet with a Pablo or Roberto or whatever, she just met up with her childhood friend, who by the way is ridiculously pretty, maybe I can get some tips from her about her awesome skin? There are a gazillion tanned people here, I feel like such an ugly duckling with all of these permanently bronzed individuals around me. I went to a party last night full of Typical L.A. guys, but they just talked on and on about football or whatever, so dull. Just remember that looks don't make you interesting, no matter how much you wish it were true. And as for Gabrielle he's... different.
I'll keep you updated! Stay patient :)
P.s. tell Trista and Clare to not even think about taking my place in the group.
I look over my email a few times, before deciding that this is the right way of introducing Gabrielle to my best friend. He is definitely different from what I had expected before coming here. Honestly, I don't even know what I'd expected to see when we'd finally meet again.
After a long shower and a messy search for a t-shirt and shorts amongst my two suitcases, I am exploring the kitchen. How two people need such a large kitchen is beyond me. The massive, stand-alone island hosts a top-of-the-line stove top and a bowl of fake fruit. Several bills are thrown at one end and a few school books are propped up against a box consisting of six Powerades, on the other end. Several pictures of famous chefs and restaurants around the world decorate the baby blue walls. The fridge, probably the biggest one I've ever seen, hosts a small flat screen TV and ice can be heard freezing and breaking for when I want crushed ice. I yank on the heavy door and pull out a large jug of orange juice. Placing it on the island, I focus on trying to find the right cupboard with the drinking glasses.
"It's the one just above the sink," Gabrielle's voice chimes in from where he's just walked in through the sliding glass doors. "You're looking for the glasses right? Use the ones above the sink."
I know that I should be going to that cupboard right now. I know I should be quietly thanking him before pouring myself a glass of juice, but all I can do is stare at him in all his half-naked glory. I hope to god he can't see me ogling him, though I haven't been able to take my eyes off him. Sweat clings to the creases that the muscles on his stomach make and his tan perfectly accentuates his arm muscles. If only time could stop for a minute...
"Kris?" His intrigued voice wakes me from my stupor and I walk towards the cupboard and pull out a glass, silently chiding myself.
"Thanks," I murmur, hoping to god that he can't see my face turning a brilliant shade of red.
"I'd go to my cupboard, the one by the fridge over there," he points to a large cupboard, "if you want something good for breakfast."
I nod slowly and he smiles quickly before heading out of the kitchen and towards his bathroom, I'm guessing, where he'll have to clean off all that sweat...
What is wrong with me? I've turned into some sort of pervert.
The sound of rustling trees in the wind relaxes me as I sit at the lawn table by the pool, a bowl of Special K cereal and glass of orange juice enticing my hunger. I also nabbed some yoghurt from the fridge before deciding to eat outside. The pool, Maria had told me yesterday, is salt-water controlled. This explanation, I later realized when I'd stepped on the balcony the night before, works alongside the sea-salt smell that wafts up from the pool.
The sliding door to the kitchen opens just as I start eating my cereal. Maria smiles widely at me and saunters over. How she can have so much energy all the time is beyond me. Her curls are safely tucked back with a headband and her warm chocolate eyes show a lot more emotion than her smile, which is a feat itself. Her small figure is in a loose-fitting red summer dress with a few flower vines rising up the sides and Greek-style sandals. She looks like some kind of tanned goddess.
"Hey you," she says, her voice as warm as the morning heat. "How'd you sleep?"
"Not bad," I admit, "though I do miss home."
She makes a sound of understanding as I continue eating my cereal. "Your mom is out hunting for a job as we speak, she's pretty determined to make this your new home."
I nod, trying to ignore the annoyance building in my gut. But then I remember something that shouldn't fit. "But, how can she get a job already? We just moved here."
"Didn't she tell you?" Maria sighs when she sees my confused expression. "Your mom was born in Florida, but her parents moved to Toronto a few years later. She's a citizen of the United States of America, so she can start working immediately."
I cough and some milk somehow makes it out my nose. My mom never told me she was born in the U.S. I just assumed that she was born and raised in Canada. This is all adding up to be one unfair coincidence. Maria giggles as I clean my face and she pats my hand.
"Later today I'll take you to the DMV so we can get your driver's permit. You have your G1 from Canada right?" I nod and she claps her hands like an excited kid in Wonderland. "Great, then it's settled. That way you don't have to depend so much on Gabe to drive you everywhere!"I smile at her show of emotion, wondering what other secrets mom has yet to share with me.

Mom arrested for letting her son, 7, walk to nearby park alone
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Nicole Gainey was charged by police after she permitted her 7-year-old son to walk to a local park alone near their home in Port St. Lucie, Florida. She is fighting back and completely dumbfounded. She said " "I honestly don't think I was doing anything wrong. I was letting him go play." ...A Florida Department of Children and Families Services official told her to expect the case to be dropped.

One red shoe
It sat there amongst the brambles, accusatory and sodden, a battered red baseball boot with frayed laces. It looked incongruous amongst the frosted leaves and brooding tree-trunks; it lay at an almost jaunty angle, poised for action.
Henry poked at it with the tip of his pen, lifting it gently by a loop in the laces and peering at the sole of the boot. His breath clouded about him and his nose throbbed in the cold. Damn, it was cold. A hip flask full of Tanqueray nudged him gently from his coat pocket; he bit his lip and tried to concentrate.
The boot was small, well-loved and falling to bits. Leather frayed about the soles, and the heel of the boot was almost worn through with use. Initials were scrawled in ink across the inside of the ankle; JB.
JB stood for Jennifer Byrne, a dark haired, skinny, whiplike girl of nine who lay in a bundle not ten feet behind him; deposited rudely at the bottom of a natural pit in the woods, her face turned away from the sky modestly. Henry tried not to look in her direction, but he could sense her lying there; her presence stirred the hairs on his arms and dried his throat. Feeling the pull of the hip-flask, he spat into the earth instead and slipped the boot inside a paper bag.
At first he did not hear his name as it was yelled across the clearing; the forest seemed alive with noise today, birds shrieked and twittered and branches creaked in a wind that was gathering strength. The weather was about to change; the crystal air and bright winter sun would soon vanish and Henry intended to be at home nursing a tumbler of gin when the sky broke.
"What?" He straightened his back and saw his assistant striding through the bracken, a grim look on his face. He was holding what looked like an envelope in his hands and looking put-upon.
"You might want to see this," he huffed, proffering the brown package.
"What is it?"
The other man smiled grimly.
"The end of my Christmas holiday, that's what." Henry ripped open the envelope and found a collection of polaroids inside. He flipped through each one and felt the cold suddenly creep right into his bones, right up into his brain. He glanced over his shoulder at the inert form of the girl and back at the polaroids.
"Where is this from?"
"Kent. It looks like..."
"I know what it looks like. There's been another one." He rubbed his hands across his face and stared into space, thinking. "How many is that, now?"
"Thirteen, Henry. One a week for thirteen weeks". Tom counted them out slowly on thick, bitten fingers.
Henry exhaled and watched his breath flow about him in bright tendrils.
"I think it's safe to say that we have a serial killer, Tom," he said, and made his weary way back to the car.

The Grand National can be the most difficult race of the year in which to find the winner. It is a unique race so some pieces of form will go out of the window whilst luck also tends to play its part with carnage a regular feature in the race. The Grand National winner is most commonly right in front of our noses though with the well fancied horses dominating the race in recent years. Seventeen of the last twenty-one winners were 20/1 or less whilst amazingly, only three horses at odds bigger than 20/1 have even managed to finish in the top five in the last four years. It should pay therefore to examine the fancied Grand National runners that have the best chance.
Barring any huge changes in the betting, the horse that starts favourite this afternoon in the Grand National will be Synchronised. It is not often that we see the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner line up in the Grand National and as a Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Synchronised has to carry plenty of weight, he carries top weight this afternoon. He will carry more weight to victory than any horse since Red Rum should he win but he has certainly earned his weight. He will need to bring his seemingly limitless stamina to this race, he has not only won a Welsh Grand National in heavy ground but also a Midlands Grand National over four and a quarter miles, also in heavy ground. Synchronised runs for Tony McCoy and Jonjo O'Neill who won the race two years ago with Don't Push It and it is pretty difficult to make a case against him.
Another of the horses who is likely to occupy most column inches today is last year's winner Ballabriggs. No horse has managed to win the Grand National more than once since four time winner Red Rum in the 70s but it is worth noting that Ballabriggs is trained by Donald McCain Jnr, the son of Red Rum's trainer Ginger McCain. Ballabriggs may be up against it for win purposes today but he certainly looks a decent place bet as four Grand National winners in the last decade have placed the following year. Those horses were Monty's Pass (2003 winner), Hedgehunter (2005 winner), Comply Or Die (2008 winner) and Don't Push It (2010 winner) and it would be no surprise to see Ballabriggs added to that list in his ideal conditions. Back Ballabriggs to place and get 6 Places and £100 of Free Bets on the Grand National.
There have been many horses backed and many horses that have drifted this week because of the changing going. The rain earlier in the week meant that Giles Cross and West End Rocker shortened in price. Many who backed Giles Cross may be ripping up their tickets as that one needs soft ground whilst West End Rocker is still of interest, he would prefer a bit of cut but handles good going. Meanwhile, Junior was on the drift because of the rain but the drying ground has seen a bit of money for the David Pipe runner but his jumping and inexperience is a concern.
Chicago Grey and On His Own are the best fancied Irish contenders, Chicago Grey will need luck in running as he is a confirmed hold up horse but if he avoids some of the carnage he could have a chance whilst On His Own merits respect as the choice of Ruby Walsh this year but he is the least experienced runner in the field this year (alongside Cappa Bleu who is also well fancied) with only six runs over fences and he may have a better chance next year. It is also worth flagging up Killyglen who fell last year when certainly in contention and he could be one of the best each way bets of the race.
When betting on the Grand National, it pays to shop around between the Grand National bookies as not only do the odds differ from bookie to bookie, but so do the offers. You obviously want the biggest odds on your Grand National bets but it is also worth noting the number of places your bookie is paying, some will only pay four places on each way bets whilst others will pay as many as six places. Other bookies compete for your bets though other offers such as refunds if certain horses win or money back if your horse finishes second.

Diana Krall - But not for me lyrics
But not for me by Diana Krall
But Not For Me
They're writing songs of love
But not for me
Lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall, get that way
Heigh-ho! Alas! Also, lack-a-day!
When every happy plot
Turns into a marriage knot
I guess he's not for meDiana Krall Lyrics Index

Have mercy!!! I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! I am now packing my bags and heading for Tanner's Ford to find myself a cowboy (or three). I just have to figure out how to pack the A/C and indoor plumbing... oh... and get kindle reception in the 1870s.. I may need to download and stock up. Nah. I think I just let those cowboys keep me busy... This is the second book in the Bride Train series and it stands alone just fine. (Good luck with that. Y'all will be going back and readin' book one the minute you hit the last page of A CONTRACT BRIDE'S TRIPLE SURPRISE.) In book one, BAREFOOT BRIDE FOR THREE, Beth became good friends with Prudence MacDougal. Prudence was very ill and eventually died, leaving Gill MacDougal a widower and new father to a baby girl. Before she passed away, she arranged for her sister to come to Tanner's Ford to marry Gill's brother Nevin and raise her baby as her own. I pretty much thought Prudence was uppity until the end of book one. She was a little too wimpy for the west, but I have to give credit where it's due. She could have asked to go back east and lived a little longer, but instead she made sure Gillis stayed with his family and Clan. Fortunately her sister, Amelia, was on the way. Amelia's fiancé left her after she ran into a burning building to save two children. The scarring on her face and arms meant her father would not be able to marry her off to further his business. Angry with her for her choice, he willed his home and possessions to his nephew and left Amelia high and dry. Amelia arrived in Tanner's Ford to discover her wedding contract was with the MacDougal Devil, Ross, not sweet Nevin as she had expected. Ross is a half-breed, half Irish and half Native American. He too bears scars earned as an Indian warrior. Scary and rough, Ross enjoys the way his reputation keeps strangers at bay. The chemistry is instantaneous. As she looks out her bridal suite window, she spots a man who ignites some serious lustful fantasies. And oh-happy-day when he strolls into her suite as her new husband! The wanting is obvious and present from the start. It's the trust and love that sneaks up when they aren't looking. And in Tanner's Ford style, Amelia ends up welcoming Gillis and Nevin into her bed and heart too. They married for duty and convenience. The fact that they both REALLY enjoyed the marital bed was a bonus, but neither expected anything more. This is a full-length novel that just kept flying by. Honestly, it's one of those books where you look at it and can't believe how fast you read it. This isn't just a story about a couple. It's a story about a town and the relationships there. Tanner's Ford has some power hungry individuals and some self righteous pigs, but it's also filled with men, women and children who know kindness and generosity. Their struggles make them endearing. Their failures make them strong. Their compassion for each other makes them interesting. And their desire to love and be loved makes them relatable. I laughed, I cried and I blushed more than once. With three sexy clansmen satisfying the only MacDougal wife, plenty of women friends to keep the banter going and my sides aching, and the dangers of living in the wild west keeping me on the edge of my seat, it was one truly satisfying ride I was unwilling to get off until the very end. Just one question Ms. Butler: When is the next one arriving? I can't wait for more! Ok, historical fans, cowboy f

Butler took me back in time with quite the adventure in this tale. Not only is this a highly erotic tale that kind of makes me wish that I'd lived in the Montana Territory, but Butler also weaves an intricate plot of life, love, and family that is so heartfelt that I couldn't help but fall for the characters. She also made me cry as she broke my heart. This tale was very emotionally compelling. I enjoyed the differences between the different relationships within this less than traditional marriage. The emotions involved and even the way that they treated each other were all apparent; all the while the whole came together in a seamless manner. Amelia's sheer naiveté and curiosity were charming. She was such an endearing character. She was the perfect counterpoint to the three other, very distinct, personalities that we get up close and personal with. Each tugged at my heart in their own way, yet all four came together in a unique manner that suited them. Butler has created something that is sizzling hot, yet that portrays the real emotions of the characters and that easily takes you back in time. I had a blast reading it.
The author of this book has created well-developed characters and an exciting plot line. Most books in this genre feature cardboard characters and simplistic plots interspersed with steamy sex. This book however, has it all, steamy sex, characters who are believable and a story I throughly enjoyed reading to the very end. This book stands above others in the romance genre. I plan on buying other books by author Reece Butler.

You can get a signed An American Life, by Ronald Reagan, for about $700. A signed Decision Points, by George W.

Treadway found guilty in elderly man's beating death
Indianapolis - After six hours of deliberations, a jury convicted Jeffrey Treadway of murder and robbery in the death of an Indianapolis dance instructor.
Treadway now faces a possible life sentence without parole, for attacking and killing 82-year-old Donald Carroll in 2005. Prosecutors say Treadway beat Carroll with a brick in his east side home.
They say he also stole money from the World War Two veteran and attacked his wife, who survived.
Jurors will hear evidence in the penalty phase of the trial Friday before recommending a sentence.

After the deaths of Carus and his son Numerian on campaign in Persia, Diocletian was proclaimed emperor. The title was also claimed by Carus' other surviving son, Carinus, but Diocletian defeated him in the Battle of the Margus.

|Rashi a medieval French rabbi and author of a comprehensive commentary on the Talmud and commentary on the Tanakh. Acclaimed for his ability to present the basic meaning of the text in a concise and lucid fashion, Rashi appeals to both learned scholars and beginning students, and his works remain a centerpiece of contemporary Jewish study. His commentary on the Talmud, which covers nearly all of the Babylonian Talmud , has been included in every edition of the Talmud since its first printing by Daniel Bomberg in the 1520s. His commentary on Tanach — especially on the Chumash — is an indispensable aid to students of all levels. The latter commentary alone serves as the basis for more than 300 "supercommentaries" which analyze Rashi's choice of language and citations, penned by some of the greatest names in rabbinic literature

|Emperor Antoku the 81st emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. His reign spanned the years from 1180 through 1185. During this time, the imperial family was involved in a bitter struggle between warring clans. Yoritomo, with his cousin Yoshinaka, led a force from the Minamoto clan against the Taira, who controlled the emperor. During the sea battle of Dan-no-ura in March 1185, a member of the royal household took Antoku and plunged with him into the water in the Shimonoseki Straits, drowning the child emperor rather than allowing him to be captured by the opposing forces. The conflict between the clans led to numerous legends and tales. Antoku's tomb is said to be located in a number of places around western Japan, including the island of Iwo Jima, a result of the spreading of legends about the emperor and the battle

|Chagatai Khan the second son of Genghis Khan. He was Khan of the Chagatai Khanate from 1226-1242 C.E. The Chagatai language and Chagatai Turks take their names from him. He inherited most of what are now the five Central Asian states after the death of his father. He was also appointed by Genghis Khan to oversee the execution of the Yassa, the written code of law created by Genghis Khan, though that lasted only until Genghis Khan was crowned Khan of the Mongol Empire. The Empire later came to be known as the Chagatai Khanate, a descendant empire of the Mongol Empire. Chagatai Khan was considered hot-headed and somewhat temperamental by his relatives, because of his attitude of non-acceptance of Jochi as Great Khan. He was the most vocal about this issue among his relations. Chaghatai himself appears to have been a just and energetic governor, though perhaps rough and uncouth, and addicted to hard drinking. At any rate, he was animated by the soldier-like spirit of his father, and succeeded in keeping order among as heterogeneous a population, as a kingdom was ever composed of

|Ibn Taymiyyah a Sunni Islamic scholar , Sunni Islamic philosopher, Sunni theologian and logician. He lived during the troubled times of the Mongol invasions. He was a member of the school founded by Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and is considered by his followers, along with Ibn Qudamah, as one of the two most significant proponents of Hanbalism; in the modern era, his adherents often refer to the two as "the two sheikhs" and Ibn Taymiyyah in particular as "Sheikh ul-Islam". Ibn Taymiyyah was notable for having sought the return of Sunni Islam to what he viewed as earlier interpretations of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and is considered to have had considerable influence in contemporary Wahhabism, Salafism, and Jihadism. He is renowned for his fatwa issued against the Mongol rulers declaring jihad by Muslims against them compulsory, on the grounds that they did not follow Sharia and as such were not Muslim, their claims to have converted to Islam notwithstanding. His teachings had a profound influence on the Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, and other later Sunni scholars

|Ulugh Beg a Timurid ruler as well as an astronomer, mathematician and sultan. His commonly known name is not truly a personal name, but rather a moniker, which can be loosely translated as "Great Ruler" or "Patriarch Ruler" and was the Turkic equivalent of Timur's Perso-Arabic title Amīr-e Kabīr. His real name was Mīrzā Mohammad Tāraghay bin Shāhrokh. Ulugh Beg was also notable for his work in astronomy-related mathematics, such as trigonometry and spherical geometry. He built the great Ulugh Beg Observatory in Samarkand between 1424 and 1429. It was considered by scholars to have been one of the finest observatories in the Islamic world at the time and the largest in Central Asia. He built the Ulugh Beg Madrasah in Samarkand and Bukhara, transforming the cities into cultural centers of learning in Central Asia. He was also a mathematics genius of the 15th century — albeit his mental aptitude was perseverance rather than any unusual endowment of intellect. His Observatory is situated in Samarkand which is in Uzbekistan.

You better be good at hill starts if you live in San Francisco! I presume it's slightly easier with an automatic transmission rather than manual?
Highly processed image via multiple tools in the GIMP until I came up with an effect I liked – multiple layers, b/w, gaussian blur, layer modes and more.
I had to rotate the image at first and reconstruct parts of the image, but I think it came out reasonably well!

Chapter Three: To See a Tear
Three months, 2 weeks, and one day later I was still struggling to move on. Keeping my house clean and the windows semi-opened helped my anxiety. Christmas had stolen the possibility of the nights that I would have sipped on white hot chocolate with Michael in front of the Christmas tree. I had ignored the ghosts of wrapping paper that would have been around me, and I had fought my way through the endless fog covering my eyes when I saw his name on the caller I.D.
But then, I had thought to myself whilst rubbing the shadows of loneliness from my eyes, we never had spent a Christmas together. Had never gone to New York City together to ride the sleighs that traveled heavily down the snow laden park. But yet, knowing all of this, I still missed Michael and his endless stories of a happy, two-sided marriage. I still don't understand why he told me such stories, all he ever achieved was making jealous.
On this quiet morning of March I stood in front of my beige curtained windows. The sun was shining through, the rays touching at my scars and the bird's music crept through the cracks of my semi-detached house to try and soften my heart. I had loved Spring back before I met Michael. I remembered eating soft ice cream from the nearly abandoned vendors by Lake Ontario and witnessing the rebirth of the trees and animals slowly. The quiet chirp of a baby bird would quiet me and cause me to sit in one of the cold benches to wait and watch nothing, just to listen.
I hugged my arms softly and felt my cotton shirt bunch up at my fingertips. I had thought over and over what to wear, and in the end I had settled for a simple blue cotton sweater and a pair of black straight legged jeans. My toes felt bear and I told myself that they would be warm in my flats. My wild brown hair hung around my face in tight curls and when I stood in my front of my bedroom mirror I could see it rising steadily up and down on my nervous chest.
My phone rang and I cursed softly as the sound surprised me.
"Hello?" I answered while trying to hide my annoyance.
"Hey, it's me. You ready?" It was Alice, her voice sounded exhausted.
"Did you run again?"
"I'm glad I call you my best friend, you know me well." She complimented. "Yes I did, as a matter of fact. I realized that I was running a bit late, sorry! I'll be there in five minutes."
"Okay," I responded, "I hope you're right about this."
Fifteen minutes later Alice parked the car into an empty space in the park that I used to frequent. This past winter had been disastrous, the wind had severed several tree branches and ice patches lined the paths like hidden Eden snakes. The grass was a hazy yellow and the lake itself was a mess of black waves, occasionally crashing on the jagged rocks.
My foot crunched down hard on the pavement as it broke a patch of black ice into several glassy fragments. I waited with the door opened while looking over at Alice as she got out of the car. Her purple hat swung off the tip were the ball of fluff followed the direction of the wind and her matching mittens held onto the door on her side.
"What do you think?" She asked in a voice that matched the sounds of the abandoned lake front.
"I think it is cold and empty." I answered, knowing that she would frown at me in disappointment I added, "But, it is relaxing."
Alice smiled. "Nice save."
We walked for about ten minutes, the idea of soft ice cream out of our minds, before we made a swift turn for the car. Alice rubbed her hands together in front of the steering wheel like she had always done whenever she wanted to know where to go next.
"I don't know," I responded. "Anywhere."
"How about some tea?" She asked with enthusiasm growing with every word.
I just smiled and shrugged, "Sounds good to me."
As we drove towards downtown Toronto Alice stole a glance at me and asked, in the most protective way possible, "So, how are you?"
"Fine." I knew where she was going and I didn't want to breach the subject. It was darkened territory for me.
"Is your house clean?' This somehow had become an inside thing between us and I had simply accepted it as a thing that could not be changed.
"Yes," I looked straight through the windshield. "Bed is made, as you can tell, I took a shower, and my house smells like the end of winter."
"Glad to hear it." She smiled at me before turning and parking in front of a Starbucks on St. George. The streets were busy with men in suits talking loudly on their cell phones and children skipping hours of school to instead have fun on the streets of downtown.
"You came all the way down here for a tea?" I asked, amused at her choice of venue.
"They make the best in town, trust me, I've looked." She assured me as she walked towards the entrance.
"Here, let me get that for you." she suddenly said pulling open the heavy door and holding it back, allowing a woman with a baby stroller out.
"Thank you!" The woman said before turning to me. "Have a good--"
My heart froze and if the wind had not been blowing with me then I would have crumpled to a heap of nothing. Her deep brown eyes looked me over, trying to place me, and her curved cupid's bow mouth sat sternly on her round small face. Her red hair was falling out of her messy bun in long wisps of loose curls and her black coat hid any signs of a previously pregnant body. In the stroller that she was holding tightly lay a baby boy, his blue hat a giveaway for his gender. He was a cute baby.
"I know you from somewhere." She said quietly. "I'm sorry, I'm horrible with these things."
I heard her giggle softly as I looked down at my black flats and saw the outline of my toes against the tight material. "It was at the company's party several years ago."
"Oh," she suddenly expelled, "right, you were Mike's old assistant. Right. Melissa?"
"Melanie." I corrected shortly.
"Right, sorry about that, I barely have time for my memory anymore what with Jules and all."
"Is that the baby's name?" Alice chirped in.
She looked forward lovingly at her sleeping son. "Yes, he is a handful, just like his father!" She giggled at some inside joke that she had just shared with herself and turned back to me. "It was nice seeing you, how are you?"
"I'm fine," I put on a smile that I was sure looked as false as it felt, "just trying to survive."
"Aren't we all?" She responded and quickly looked down at her son once more. "I'm sorry, but I have to go, it was nice seeing you again."
I nodded softly and fought back the tears that were all ready threatening my facade. "You too. Congratulations."
She smiled in response and waved goodbye to Alice before disappearing around a corner. As soon as she was gone Alice grabbed one of my shaking hands. "Are you all right?"
"Yes," I quickly shook my head and let the tears beat me down. "No, no I'm not."
"Was that her?"
I nodded.
"Trust Toronto to bring everyone together for a reunion." Alice muttered before opening the door to Starbucks once more. "Well, are we going to let your past problem stop us from drinking the best tea in town?"
To my surprise, the sound of laughter escaped my semi-choked throat through my tears.
"That's what I thought, now come on before I get yelled at for letting the heat out."

The Philadelphia Eagles bid goodbye to longtime QB Donovan McNabb on Sunday when they traded the six-time Pro Bowler to the division rival Washington Redskins. The Eagles' brain trust released the following statements about McNabb, who had been the team's starter since 1999.
Owner Jeffrey Lurie:
"Donovan McNabb was more than a franchise quarterback for this team. He truly embodied all of the attributes of a great quarterback and of a great person. He has been an excellent representative of this organization and the entire National Football League both on and off the field. I look forward to honoring him as one of the greatest Eagles of all-time and hopefully see him in enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton one day. I wish Donovan and his beautiful family great health and joy for many, many years to come."
Head coach Andy Reid:
"This was a very tough decision. Donovan McNabb represented everything a football player could be during his 11 seasons in Philadelphia. He carried this organization to new heights and set a high standard of excellence both on and off the field. We thank him for everything he did for this football team and for this city."
Team president Joe Banner:
"Donovan is the ultimate professional. He has an incredible work ethic and has been an integral part of our success. Over the years, Donovan has always carried himself with a great deal of dignity. He's an excellent role model for young men and women from across the region. In my mind, he'll always be remembered as one of the greatest Eagles of all time."

James Cracknell has never given up on anything in his life – and he is not about to start now. Whether it has been the years of sacrifice and training required to win Olympic rowing gold medals two Games running, tackling the world's toughest extreme endurance events, or battling to recover both mentally and physically from a life-changing brain injury, in achieving his aims little has stood in his way.
Facing him in what he calls his toughest challenge yet – to become a Conservative MEP for South West England at the European elections on 22 May 22 – is the rumbling Ukip juggernaut. Even though he is replacing Giles Chichester, who is standing down as one of three Tory MEPs representing a region that extends from Gloucestershire to Cornwall, the former champion knows he has a fight on his hands, and is leaving nothing to chance.
"Giles had a majority of 8,000 – brilliant in Westminster, but not in the European elections, where the electorate is 4.3 million people," Cracknell says, as he travels through the South West on an official "campaign day". "A one percentage point swing here or there is going to make a huge difference. The problem I've struggled with, like most things since stopping sport properly, is that this is not within your control.If we'd had this election while the Maria Miller issue was going on, we might have got hammered. In sport, like many things in life, if you prepare well, train well and deliver on the day, then you'll get the result you deserve – not in politics."
Two Ukip and a Lib Dem currently hold the other three of the six seats in the South West. Far from being a famous name parachuted in to shore up the Tory vote, the 41-year-old has strong family links with Gloucestershire and Somerset. Based in Chiswick, west London, the family also owns a home in the Devon town of Croyde, after which he and his wife, the journalist and broadcaster Beverley Turner, named their son, the eldest child of three. The South West was the only region he wanted to represent.
"I went the same route as anyone else in the country to apply. I didn't get any favours. It was incredibly humbling when I was voted third on the list because people realise I have something to offer other than sport."
He admits his fame gets him more doorstop hearings – but then he's in the same position as any other candidate. "I maybe get one question for free, but then people want to know what I'm going to do. I think that's brilliant. It doesn't matter what you've done in the past, it's how you can deliver in the future."
Ukip has attracted many with its focus on immigration and the return of Britain's sovereignty, but he questions whether Nigel Farage's party can deliver. "The harder thing is fighting for the bigger issues: getting a cut in the EU budget, keeping our rebate, things like that. People want change on immigration, but there are other important issues, too."
He hammers the Ukip leader for his voting record: according to voting statistics Farage has participated in fewer than 43 per cent of votes, leaving him ranked 759 out of 764. Those below him include the Ukip deputy leader, Paul Nuttall, at 760. Bottom of the pile is Godfrey Bloom, who resigned the Ukip whip last year following his "sluts" outburst, and who sits as an independent.
"In spite of all his expense claims, Farage just does not turn up," Cracknell says. "Ukip may be getting the profile over here, but you've got to deliver on the things that make a difference, and Ukip won't be able to do that."
Cracknell cites his Olympic training as evidence of his talent for long-term planning and delivery, especially in a European Union of 28 member states. Arguably, the trickiest European Cracknell has dealt with to date was his former German-born coach, Jürgen Gröbler, who has coached British crews to gold at the last six Olympics, including Cracknell's teams at Sydney in 2000 and Athens in 2004. "If Jürgen didn't agree with what you said and you didn't agree with him, he'd pretend not to understand you, so I'm hoping that technique works for me!"
He says he is prepared to give much more than the usual stock party line on the issues he is passionate about, such as fisheries or environment policy. "The worst thing is when you know the answer a politician is going to give before they speak. You are not going to be a robot and get what you want in Brussels; you need the ability to challenge people and work in a team, but also be yourself. That's what people want, isn't it?"
He has already taken an unorthodox route to Westminster – a 125-mile canoe challenge from Devizes in Wiltshire to London with ex-Royal Marine and trainer Bernie Shrosbree in 2009 – but although a return as an MP is not ruled out, it will have to wait. "There's a job to do in Brussels. I haven't gone the traditional route into politics. Whatever route I take is all going to be new to me. Will the frustration be too much or drive me mad? I genuinely don't know.
"All I know is that in the next five years we will see a massive change in Europe and I want to be there to make sure Britain and Europe get the best deal. We're better off being in Europe if it's done the right way and at the moment it's not."
Two years ago, Cracknell co-wrote Touching Distance with his wife, detailing in painful honesty his road accident in July 2010 and its aftermath. A petrol tanker's wing mirror smashed into the back of his head at 70mph while he was cycling through Death Valley. His injuries left him with frontal lobe trauma, changing his personality for ever; both husband and wife refer to "the old James". He has also lost his sense of taste and smell, and can only identify foods by their texture.
Since the book's publication, Cracknell's health has continued to improve. In recent months he has finally begun driving again; the DVLA had withdrawn his licence. Having to rely on others for transport for so long has led him to empathise with the elderly, housebound or less mobile in the South-west, who struggle to travel at all.
"It was hard doing the hustings in the South-west without a car, so I know exactly what those without transport go through. But I've learnt you need to make sure that you make the most of every day – and that's what this is all about."Reuse content

Pregnant women, and their partners, whose babies are due on or after 6 April next year can look forward to improved maternity and parental rights.
Details have now been released of the new rights affecting working mothers-to-be and new parents, which were first heralded way back in the 2001 Budget and are due to come into effect next spring.
The Maternity Alliance, the national charity which works to improve rights and services for all pregnant women, new mothers and their families, points out that the new rights only apply to you if your baby is due on or after April 6 2003 - regardless of when your baby is actually born.
Your due date is the date your midwife puts on your maternity certificate, MAT B1, which you get when you are about 20 weeks' pregnant.
"If your baby is due before April 6 2003, you cannot get the new rights even if your baby is born late (after April 6 next year)," warns Maternity Alliance in its new factsheet Pregnant at work 2003.
From April 6 2003:
Ordinary Maternity Leave (OML) goes up from 18 weeks to 26 weeks. All female employees can claim OML with the right to return to exactly the same job, no matter whether you are full-time, part-time, the length of time you've worked for your current boss or whether you were pregnant when you started work.
You can choose when your maternity leave begins, but the earliest it can start is 11 weeks before the expected week of childbirth (EWC).
Women who have been in the same job for at least 26 weeks by the fifteenth week before their EWC will be entitled to Additional Maternity Leave (AML). Maternity Alliance points out that this is when you are about 26 weeks' pregnant so, in practice, this means you must have started your job before you got pregnant to qualify. AML will be 26 weeks unpaid leave from the end of OML, giving a maximum leave entitlement of one year.
Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) goes up from 18 weeks to 26 weeks and will be paid at a rate of 90% of your average pay for six weeks followed by a flat rate of £100 a week (up from the current £75) for 20 weeks or 90% of your average earnings if that is less. You will get SMP, whether or not you are going back to work, if:
You've worked for the same employer for at least 26 weeks by the end of the fifteenth week before your EWC. This means you need to have started your job before you got pregnant, and
You actually receive at least £77 per week before tax in earnings on average in the eight weeks (if you are paid weekly) or two months (if you are paid monthly) up to the last pay day before the end of the fifteenth week before your baby is due. The figure of £77 has yet to be confirmed by the government and may change. For the year from April 2002 to April 2003, average earnings must be £75 a week or more.
If you are not entitled to SMP, you may be entitled to Maternity Allowance (MA), a benefit paid by the Jobcentre Plus to women who have changed jobs during pregnancy and/or are self-employed or have had periods of low earnings or unemployment during their pregnancy. This will be payable for 26 weeks (up from 18 weeks) at two rates, depending on your average earnings during a test period. The standard rate will be £100 a week.
Paid paternity leave is being introduced for the first time for fathers of babies due on or after April 6 2003. Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) will be paid at a flat rate of £100 per week, or 90% of average earnings if this is less, for two weeks. Paternity leave can be taken from the date of birth or up to eight weeks from the birth. To qualify for SPP, a man will need to have worked for his employer for 26 weeks by the fifteenth week before the baby is due and earn more than the Lower Earnings Limit (currently £75 and expected to go up to £77).
Adoptive parents, currently entitled to only 13 weeks' unpaid leave, will get a new right to 26 weeks' paid adoption leave with a further 26 weeks' unpaid adoption leave if they have worked for their employer for 26 weeks. Statutory Adoption Pay will be paid at a flat rate of £100 a week, or 90% of average earnings if this is less, for 26 weeks. When a couple adopts, they can choose who takes adoption leave and who takes paternity leave.
Parents of children aged under six, or disabled children under 18, will have the right to apply for work flexibility if they have worked for their employer for 26 weeks before making the request. Employers will have a duty to consider requests seriously and will be able to refuse only where there is a clear business reason.

SOURCE: S&D Group at European Parliament
State of the Union: "The glass is still half empty"
During the plenary debate in Strasbourg, he warned:
"With unemployment stabilising and statistics showing minor economic growth, there are some signs of recovery in the EU. But it is an incredibly feeble recovery. This recovery is a numerical one and the struggling people in Europe have not yet seen improvements.
"Too many people have no jobs or opportunities, cuts to public services weigh hard on them and the health and long-term economic effects will continue to haunt Europe's crisis generation. So the confidence of investors may be returning, but the confidence of our citizens is still at rock bottom.
"The most important lesson for the European Commission – and member states – is that the slight move away from austerity resulted in a slight economic upturn. The hint of recovery we see must now be amplified by further balanced policies for a real and sustainable European recovery. The worst thing to do would be to return to harsh austerity measures and undo the relative stability we have achieved."

Advantage or disadvantage of a decrease of blood oxygen affinity for tissue oxygen supply at hypoxia

A shift of the oxygen dissociation curve to the right is often interpreted as an adaptation to hypoxia favorable for tissue oxygen supply. However, animals native to high altitude tend to show a rather high oxygen affinity. In order to elucidate this apparent discrepancy we investigated by numerical computer studies 1. the effect of a shift of the dissociation curve to the right as reflected in the mixed venous oxygen pressure, and 2. the role of this displacement in pulmonary gas exchange with particular reference to the alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference and the pulmonary diffusing capacity for oxygen. A right shift had a favorable effect only in the range of moderate hypoxia (and of normoxia) whereas there was a detrimental effect with severe hypoxia. The most important criterion for this distinction was the direction of the change in steepness of the physiological dissociation curve (straight line between arterial and venous points). A favorable effect was associated with a steeper slope after the shift, an unfavorable effect with a less steep slope. There was only a minor influence of a right shift on the oxygen diffusion gradient in the lung. Comparison between man (higher affinity) and rat (lower affinity) suggests that animals of small size with high metabolic rate (high arteriovenous oxygen difference) living in normoxic or possibly exposed to moderately hypoxic condition only are better served by a relatively low oxygen affinity whereas animals native to high altitude are better adapted to severe hypoxia when having a high oxygen affinity.

I had heard and posted the same thing a couple of weeks ago and to me it looks like Muzzin has a compensation injury that is still nagging him. His foot was the big trouble and then in order to remain as competitive as possible and keep his spot on the team he used other muscle groups (etc) to try and compensate for his sore foot.
Now they are bothering him more than the foot. You can see him pulling up short at times and not being as agile/fast footed as he usually is. A two week break and he would be back to good imo but at this level of competition its hard to give up your spot.
JFB is a player that I say play in the Q before we drafted him and I honestly thought then that he would be a steal for someone. I was really happy when we picked him up and I still believe that he will put it all together and make the NHL in a few years.
It looks like he actually has started putting things together lately so here's hoping he keeps getting his game back. He has a ton of talent, its an issue of putting it together.

Dora Nettle, phlebotomist
My name is Dora Nettle, and, when I grow up, I want to be a phlebotomist.
I'm not quite shur sure what a phlebotomist it. I think I heard my mommy say that word once. But that's what I want to be.
I want to be a phlebotomist because that sounds really cool. I'm not sure, but I think a phlebotomist makes phlegm. That's what it sounds like. I think I'm already a phlobotomist because I have a cold and I always have phlegm in my nose and I have to blow it out into a tisoo tissue. My big sister yells when she sees this, she says it is disgastin desgusten icky. So I will be a good phlebotomist.
I think it would be good to be a phlebotomist becuase phlegm makes big sisters mad and gets them away. My friend's big sister does this. I don't like mine, so I should be a phlebotomist so she will go away when I don't want her around. Lots of people would buy my phlegm to get rid of theyre their big sisters, so I would make a lot of money and live in a huge and fancy house.
This is a good effort, Nora, and I quite like your imagination, but I don't think a phlebotomist would be a good job. Your big sister would probably not like you very much if you always sent her away. Maybe you could find another job which suits you and write about that? You should also avoid using words like 'icky' in an essay. Good try!
