When I woke up the next day, i saw Juliet, dad, and mom sitting beside me. I got up and rubbed the back of my head where i felt a bump.
"What the hell had happened to me?" I asked them.
"You had fainted dear. In the middle of your birthday party," mom said.
I wasn't in such a good mood after what had happened. So what i had said back to her, came out as a snap.
"I already know that!"
We were all silent for some time. And then Juliet started talking.
"After you passed out, Nathan and Dylan helped us carry you to your room upstairs. You didn't wake up at all after that...till now."
The pain in the back of my head started coming back and it made my head feel like it weighed a ton. I fell back onto the bed, resting my head on the pillow.
Why had I fainted? Was it because of all that 'skull damage' Dylan had done to me the day before my birthday? Was it because of the kick in the gut i had gotten from Melanie? Or was i just running a cold? Before i could answer any of those questions, I was asleep.
When I woke up in the evening, i felt way better. The bump in the back of my head had practically disapeared but i stil felt a bit nauseated. I went down the stairs to the living room where I saw Juliet playing PS2. I heard a few sounds coming from the kitchen so i guessed mom was inside. The clock read 7.00 p.m. Dad had probably gone out to do some work. He would come later on that day.
Juliet turned around and saw me on the staircase. Her face lightened up and she yelled.
"Mom! Lukas woke up!"
"Has he?" Mom's voice echoed through the kitchen walls.
I fell on a sofa nearby and closed my eyes. Even though i felt better, i still felt a bit exhausted. I don't where this nauseated feeling was coming from but i hoped it would go away.
"Lukas honey, how are you feeling?"Mom said, sitting down.
"Sick," I said.
I didn't expect my voice to sound so hoarse. But it did.
Juliet dragged a chair to sit on.
"Has anybody called for me?" I asked her.
"Nathan called 3 times and Dylan twice. They were both concerned about you. Also, this girl called Reese called...is she a friend?"
Juliet looked suspicious when she mentioned the Reese part. I guess she always wanted to know about my love-life.
"Just a partner from class."
After a while of talking, mom told me to rest some more but i got up and decided to take a walk. I can't always be sleeping!
I wasn't really worried anymore about my 'sickness'. What was really on my mind was the call i had gotten from Reese.

In almost every case, wine is gluten-free to well below the legal limit of 20 parts per million of gluten. That includes champagne, since champagne is simply sparkling wine. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule for wine.

If the wine in question has any added coloring or flavoring (fruit-flavored dessert wines, for example, often include added ingredients), then it might not be gluten-free—you'll need to contact the manufacturer to make sure.

Other Ways Wine Might Not Be Gluten-Free

If you're extremely sensitive to gluten cross-contamination, you may find yourself reacting to certain wines—even wines without additives. You're not imagining your symptoms—there are a couple of other ways gluten can sneak into wine.

In some cases, the culprit will be the use of wheat gluten as a fining, or clarifying, agent for the wine. Since we expect our wine to look clear, wine makers turn to products that can remove any visible particles. These products are called fining agents.

Fining agents are made from a wide variety of substances ranging from clay to egg whites and the shells of crustaceans (which is why people with certain food allergies need to watch out for wine). It's uncommon—but not impossible—for a fining agent to contain gluten. If this is the case, the wine maker does not have to disclose it on the label.

In other cases, the culprit in a glutening from wine will be the wheat paste used to seal the wooden wine casks used to age the wine. Again, not all wine makers age their vintages in wooden casks (many prefer stainless steel tanks these days), but if you react to a wine that has been aged in a cask, you may possibly be reacting to that wheat paste used to seal the cask.

Whether you're dealing with a gluten-containing fining agent or a wine that was aged in a wooden cask sealed with a wheat paste, it only will add a truly miniscule amount of gluten to the finished wine—perhaps in the range of 1 to 2 parts per million (or even less).

Now, this is a tiny amount of gluten—so small that it takes the most sensitive gluten testing methods to detect. And the vast majority of people of those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity will never notice symptoms from it. So unless you know for certain that you react to certain wines, you shouldn't worry about it.

What if Wine Gives Me Symptoms?

First, experiment to make sure they're not from something else. I've frequently compared glutening symptoms to the world's worst hangover, so make sure you're not mistaking a real hangover for the kind induced by gluten.

In addition, some people with irritable bowel syndrome-type symptoms find that alcohol (yes, wine too) is a trigger for them. Learn more about this possiblity: Is It Gluten, or Is It IBS?

But that being said, a very few of those who react to gluten will notice symptoms from the tiny trace amounts of gluten in wine. If you're one of them, take heart: you don't have to give up your wine! Fortunately, there are a couple of steps you can take.

First, you can consider looking for varieties that are aged in stainless steel casks—that solves the problem of the wheat paste used to seal wine casks made from wood. I've had great luck with sauvignon blancs from New Zealand, but there are plenty of other options out there.

Second, you can contact individual vineyards to see what fining agents they use. With the growing popularity of the gluten-free diet, more vineyards have become aware of the needs of their gluten-sensitive clientele, and may be open with you about their fining agents.

Finally, if you find a wine you like (obviously, one that doesn't cause your typical glutening symptoms), buy a case and stick with it. That way, you'll always have safe wine to drink.

In a tight first set, in which Djokovic took the first game after the opening point was won by Murray, the British player saves four break points in the sixth game. Djokovic is the aggressor, no more so than at 3-3 when he bludgeons his way to 30-0 on Murray's serve. But there are no breaks of serve. Murray plays a perfect tie-break, helped by a Djokovic double-fault, to win the set.
Serving at 0-1 in the second set, Djokovic holds serve from 0-40 down, as his comeback is aided by a Murray forehand which goes a whisker wide. Murray is the better player. Djokovic gets a little testy and the world No 1 shows his frustrations at 2-3 by kicking a ball into the stands (left). But again there are no breaks, despite Murray also falling to 40-0 down in the 10th game. In the next game Murray wows the crowd with a cross-court forehand winner for 15-0, but he is unable to break the Serb's defences as the set goes to another tie-break.
At 2-2 in the second set tie-break Murray is distracted between his first and second serves by a feather blowing in the breeze (left) and the world No 4 serves a double-fault. When Murray serves at 3-5 in the tie-break Djokovic wins a thrilling point, punching the air after Murray's backhand goes into the net. Another netted backhand gives Djokovic the tie-break 7-3.
Before the start of the third set Murray sends for a trainer and has a blister on his right foot taped after having the area slathered in iodine. His movement seems increasingly impaired. While Murray is being treated, Djokovic uses one of the barrels containing drinks to lean his leg on while he stretches his groin.
Murray begins the third set moving relatively fluidly and in the first six games the match follows the rhythm of the previous sets. After nearly three hours both players look as if they are beginning to tire. Djokovic makes the first break to go 5-3 up in the third set, which he takes in the next game when Murray hits a return long
Before the fourth set Murray remonstrates with the umpire, over his failure to keep the crowd quiet. He wins the first game, battling to deuce after Djokovic takes advantage of the Scot's rattled temperament. At 0-1 in the fourth set Djokovic holds serve from 30-40 down, saving break point with a service winner. It is Murray's last break point of the match. He hobbles with a hamstring problem
In the next game Murray saves one break point with an unreturned serve but on the next puts a backhand into the net as the match swings firmly in Djokovic's favour
When Murray serves at 1-3 in the fourth set, he misses two forehands on game point. On break point he concedes a double-fault to give Djokovic a double break
Djokovic serves for the match at 5-2 and on the second point the Serb hits a smash which catches the top of the net and the balls topples over the other side. Three points later he converts his first match point.

Children at the palace
Babycare and pushchairs
Baby-changing facilities are available and pushchairs can be easily taken around the palace as there is a lift to all floors. Pushchairs may be left in the cloakroom at owner's risk.
Visits to Kensington Palace involve plenty of walking, so please do wear comfortable shoes. Please note that Heelys cannot be used inside the palace.
Food and drink
Visit The Orangery, where children's meals and small portions are available. We offer children a special treat - their very own version of afternoon tea. The Orangery has high chairs and staff will provide hot water for bottle warming.
Extra care should be taken in the palace gardens, especially near water. Please do not allow children to touch or eat the plants as they may be harmful. Also, please treat the swans and geese with caution; they are wild birds and should not be approached or fed.
The use of balls, bicycles, scooters and rollerblades is not permitted within any part of the gardens. Please see the park regulations at the entrance to the grounds for further details.
Lost children
Please approach the nearest member of uniformed palace staff if you require first aid assistance or have lost a child.
Visiting with children on the Autistic Spectrum
This guide (Adobe PDF, 1.46MB) was compiled with the help of the Kensington Palace Access Panel and some families with a child on the Autistic Spectrum. The guide aims to give information and suggestions that may help inform people who bring children on the Autistic Spectrum to Kensington Palace. As every child on the Autistic Spectrum is different, and responds to things differently, parents/carers need to decide how to plan and undertake a visit, so we hope this guide will answer common questions and highlight issues of relevance.

One of UC Berkeley statistics professor Deborah Nolan's favorite classroom activities involves coin flipping. She splits students into two groups, and asks both to write the results of 100 coin tosses on a chalkboard. The catch? One group actually tosses the coin, and one group just writes what they think the results would be. When Professor Nolan returns, she's always able to identify the group that actually tossed the coin, because their results are always littered with seemingly improbable streaks that the other group would have never thought to write down—despite the fact that they're university-level statistics students. This is one demonstration of the law of large numbers: even though a coin always has a 50 percent chance of landing on heads, in five tosses of a coin, you might come back with a streak of four heads. But if you toss that coin 50, 100, or 1,000 times, the average of heads to tails gets ever closer to that true 50 percent probability.
Take a look at the picture below. Can you guess which box is the result of real-life coin tosses, and which box represents someone's guess of what the result of 100 coin tosses might be? It's a quick exercise in the science of chance.

Stochasticity means randomness, which can be thought of as unpredictability happening within a set of predictable rules. 00:08
An experiment at UC Berkeley had one group of students flip a coin 100 times and write down the results, and another group simply write down what they think the results of 100 coin tosses would be. A statistician looks at both results and knows which team actually flipped the coin, because the real results show patterns that don't show up in the fake results -- long stretches of only tails, for instance. 00:35
In a stochastic system, you can never predict the exact results, but you can forecast the probability that certain sequences will show up. 01:20

Is it just me, or are vampires getting younger? Never mind policemen, it's those blood-sucking mythological revenants that make you feel your age by becoming sleeker, more youthful and ever more gorgeous. Wasted, pale and sharp of tooth is the new look, judging by the lust for Twilight, the vampire film about to be released in this country. Women, in particular, have crowded the cinemas in the United States, where the film made back its $35m budget on the opening night. It opens here next week.
The star is the British actor Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films – and critics have hailed Twilight as "the young girl's answer to Potter". He plays Edward Cullen, a 108-year-old vampire who happens to look like a teenage boy, and who is trying really hard not to eat humans. Then 17-year-old Bella Swan falls for his lupine looks and strength, assuming he must be a superhero. "What if I'm not the hero?" asks the angst-ridden Cullen. "What if I'm the bad guy?"
What indeed? Bella wouldn't be the first young lady to fall for the Byronic charms of a vampire, the archetypal bad boy who always gets the girl. But Twilight is different. It's written by a Mormon, Stephenie Meyer. So Edward must fight the desire to sink his fangs into Bella's neck, and she must deny the urge to consummate their relationship. Free of the sweaty things hormonal teens do with each other in real life, Twilight is as safe as High School Musical.
Meyer has written four books so far. A fifth would have been released soon but a rough draft was leaked on to the internet recently. An angry Meyer has now put it on her own website so that fans can read the legitimate version and "stay honest".
Her books are the biggest thing in vampire fiction since the original Dracula by Bram Stoker was published in 1897. He was using Balkan folklore, and there are stories of bloodsuckers in ancient Babylon and Egypt. But it is only in the movies that these monsters have evolved, astonishingly, into heart-throbs.
The silent Nosferatu of 1922 features a hideous Count with rat teeth. Bela Lugosi created the classic Dracula in 1931 and was quite attractive, if you like a cape and fangs. But all women were required to do was simper and present their necks for lunch.
Then along came the TV version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1997, doing exactly what it said on the DVD box. Buffy prompted a rush of glamorous young gothic vampires, such as Kate Beckinsale in Underworld. But Twilight is the first traditional teen romance for bloodsuckers, giving young women the chance of an equal relationship with a vampire. As long as you bear in mind the old rule: always be sure what's at stake when he asks you out for a drink.

JORDAN has some Europa League tips to share and as always with this tournament they come with a warning even though at this stage sides will be looking to go all the way and claim that Champions League prize.
He says: It's the Europa League so you know what the means. Things may not go according to plan and small stakes should be advised. I'm drawn to the price of Spurs – not for a win but to score.
OK, Dortmund are playing well and held Bayern to a draw on the weekend but they were battered by Munich who on another day could have easily won 3-0.
So now they host a side chasing Premier League glory in Tottenham but have dropped points over their last two games. A surprise defeat at West Ham which saw their brilliant away scoring form end (18 games) and a 2-2 draw against Arsenal despite having the one-man advantage last weekend.
As well have Dortmund have played recently they have conceded goals in the Europa League this season at home to PAOK, Krasnodar and Odd, not three teams who you'd expect much of at the Signal-Iduna.
Dele Alli is suspended so we'll likely see the kryptonite Heung-Min Son come into the line up. The Korean has five goals against Dortmund in his career, more than any other club he's played against. Obviously Kane will be the Spurs favourite but Son looks a big price at 4-1 against a team he's hurt on a few occasions, as does Erik Lamela who is biggest 11-2 despite scoring six goals in the competition.
Spurs have conceded in six of their last seven in all competitions, their last seven of nine on the road, and in three of their four European away game this season at Monaco, Anderlecht and Fiorentina.

Describe the most rewarding experience that you have had working with a patient?
Its great every time a patient gets a Non Surgical Nose Job and tells me that, since they were little, they've been dreaming about fixing their nose in exactly this way, but I am the first one who could do it. It makes me feel special and its nice to hear that I can make people's dreams come true.
What is your favorite quote or saying?
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Winston Churchill We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Winston Churchill
What makes your specialties the right fields of medicine for you?
I've wanted to be a doctor and help people as long as I can remember. I decided to train in surgery because its exciting and the rewards are immediate. As I finished my training, I felt that I was losing touch with my original goal and I missed some creativity in my professional life. I've focused on Non Surgical procedures and I can both help people and be creative.
Finish this sentence: If I weren't a doctor I would be___.
1. .. an international soccer star. In my dreams. 2. ... unhappy. A more realistic answer.
When (your age) did you first realize you wanted to enter the health & medical field? And did you experience anything in particular to motivate you to achieve this prestigious goal?
My mother is an esthetician. I grew up working in her salon and I always loved the skin care / aesthetic field. I gravitated toward it naturally during training and found that I had a good eye and precise hand. It wasn't the prestige that attracted me. I felt like this was the only field within medicine where I could be creative.
Can you tell us in your own words what you consider a perfect outcome of a surgical procedure?
Perfect outcome has 3 components. 1. The patient sees exactly the results that he/she imagined. 2. Nobody can tell that the patient has had anything done. 3. The patient is not bankrupt.
What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?
Any of the Non Surgical procedures (Nose, Chin, Eyes, Cheekbones). They're fun to do, they involve creativity and people are very happy with the results. And sometimes I get a box of chocolates afterwards.
In a perfect world, when would you like to retire, where would you go and what would you do?
I would never fully retire. I would continue to explore my interests in cosmetic procedures and innovate. Working with people in a creative way is invigorating and keeps you alive! Eventually, I would decrease my practice, travel and pursue my hobbies (whatever they may be at the time). But I'm in no hurry.
What Sets Us Apart
Alexander Rivkin M.D. is one of the nation's foremost authorities on non surgical aesthetic procedures. His innovations, including the Non Surgical Nose Job, are changing the field of plastic surgery and providing real alternatives to invasive procedures.

In simple terms, DAW software, or any computer program, is a series of instructions that are executed sequentially by a central processing unit (CPU). Many DAW programs already incorporate multi-threading into their code. Here's how it affects Cakewalk's SONAR 3.1. Thanks to Ron Kuper of Cakewalk for this explanation.
A program that employs threads, or is multi-threaded, takes a sequential series of instructions and replicates it. Rather than having one sequence of instructions for all tasks that need to be done by the application, a multi-threaded program uses many sequences of instructions, one per thread. It's like having many different little sub-programs, all running simultaneously, or in parallel.
Obviously on a single-processor computer these threads don't really run simultaneously. The computer's CPU can only perform one instruction at a time. But the operating system is able to provide the illusion that multiple threads are executing in parallel. It does this through a procedure known as scheduling.
In the Windows operating system the scheduler allows multiple threads to run in orderly fashion, one at a time, by carefully selecting which one should run next and then limiting how much time it gets before moving on to the next one. This scheduling mechanism allows applications to set priorities for each thread, to make sure that threads which involve user interactions remain responsive, and to allow threads to relinquish their "time slice" if they have nothing left to do.
Multi-threading with multiple CPUs: Multiprocessing
Multi-threading in Windows really starts to show its power on multiprocessor systems. The Windows scheduler detects the presence of multiple CPUs, and allows more than one thread to run – truly in parallel – by assigning one thread to one CPU and another thread to the other. Note that a Windows application must be written with multi-threading code and multiprocessor support in order to benefit from multiple CPUs.
Even on a multiprocessor system the weakest link in any application is the thread that carries the highest CPU burden. For example, prior to version 3.1, SONAR performed all audio mixing and DSP on the same single thread. This meant that you could create a project with a single solitary audio track, and then load this track with audio effects to the point where the project won't play – not on a single processor system, or a quad processor system! This is because one CPU would be struggling to do all the mixing and DSP while the other CPUs would be sitting idle.
In other words, the division of labor between threads must be carefully chosen in order to get the maximum benefit from multiple CPUs. Ideally the most CPU-intensive sections of code would be multi-threaded. In the case of SONAR, it meant that the code that does mixing and runs plug-ins and soft synths, needed to be designed in a way to be run on multiple threads.
Mixing, DSP and Multi-threading
The SONAR 3.1 audio engine contains a component called a basic "audio processing unit" upon which tracks and buses are built. So the logical progression in SONAR 3.1 was to allow the processing of each of these audio processing units to be performed on different CPUs.
An audio processing unit in SONAR 3.1 can process either a project track, a project bus, or a software synthesizer. Therefore, for example, a project with 8 tracks, 4 buses and 4 synths uses 16 audio processing units. Along with the existing set of threads already created for the user interface, disk access and MIDI functions, SONAR 3.1 will create one mixing/DSP thread for each CPU on the system. During audio streaming, the SONAR audio engine executive constantly builds a first-in, first-out task list, with each task corresponding one audio processing unit. At the same time, in parallel, each mixing/DSP thread removes items from this task list until all tasks are complete and the list is empty.
This design is analogous to a construction site where the job manager has a checklist of jobs to be done. Some jobs must be done before others, and the manager knows how to order them. Workers come to the manager one at a time and receive a task to do. When a worker finishes a task he comes back to the manager to get another. When the task list is empty everyone can go home!
The benefit of this design is that the program and the CPU are constantly self-adjusting to meet the workload of the project. Most real-world music projects have effects spread out among all tracks and buses, and have several synth instances. This means that the mixing/DSP workload naturally spreads out across all available processors. By contrast, imagine a design where even-numbered tracks were arbitrarily assigned to one processor and odd-numbered tracks to the other. Such a design would not suitably divide the work done by buses and software synthesizers.

Poem by: Shekhar Srivastava
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
There It will be a great day if their will be no instruments like gun,
Just think, we will have a lot of fun.
No wars and no fights,
We will see world's best sights.
Instruments like bombs should be banned forever,
But some think-'No, No, Not ever'
Is this the World that God has created?
Is this the world that no one had hated?
We can change the World. It is in our hand.
We can melt the arms in this land.
There should be no difference between us,
Because it has already given a lot of curse.

Measurement in and for Mathematics Education
The goal of this presentation is to look carefully at the role of measurement in mathematics education. To do so, I will introduce Item Response Theory, specifically one version of this psychometric theory, in the context of the study of young children's learning of whole number concepts in inner-city school settings. The presentation will describe one hypothetical learning trajectory in the context of a method of instruction. The theoretical base for this trajectory was originally proffered by researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. The central feature of this theory of learning asks how students interpret "word problems" and integrates student's chosen strategies into a theory of instruction. In this presentation, we ask how the theory of learning informs the construction of test items, the scaling of these test items, and the building of measures. We close by examining recent changes in psychometrics and their implications for measurement in mathematics education.

Under a fullmoonMature
It burned. Greater then anything he had ever felt. It hurt, but it didn't. His contorted features matched those of his body. His mouth was agape, yet no sound came out. No whimper, no moan. Nothing. It burned. He didn't know what to do. It felt horrendous and absolutely wonderful at the same time. He felt more alive then ever before but the burning was so intense he wanted to die. He began to shake. Slightly at first, but grew. It ended up with full blown convulsions. Bones began to twist, Began to bend. Now the pain became unbearable. Skin tightened. Muscle bulged. Bone broke. That was the last straw. A great howl of pain and madness and anger and sorrow burst from his body. It sent chills to even the most hardened members of those standing in the room. One member looked on with pity and sorrow. Tears threatening to over flow. She cringed as she heard bone break. Feeling each as if she were the one going through the torment. In an instance, some semblance of sanity crept into his mind, and for an instance their eyes meet. In an instance, things changed. Something else began to flow through his body. Trading one pain for another. This new howl made every one take a few steps back. His body continued to twist and contort. It started to reshape, reforming into something else. Things seemed different. His vision started to swirl, sharpen, refocus. For three long hours the burning continued. Not just for him, but also for a few others standing, watching the gruesome spectacle. Finally the shuddering ended, the contortions straightened out, the burning and pain finally ceased. One of the people stepped forward.
"Welcome, brother…"
His eyes opened. Except they weren't his eyes. They seemed… animalistic, angry. He scanned the room with his new eyes. Things looked different. His new nose twitched, he could smell the fear coming off some of them. He smelt kindred, he smelt flesh, he smelt…something else. He began to rise, awkwardly at first. His muscles learning their new strength. Eventually he reached his new full height. He towered over the tallest member of the room easily by a foot. His eyes locked on her and he could see a shiver run down her spine at his gaze. His face contorted into a snarl and anger began to fill him up. He couldn't stay here any longer. With out a second thought he lunged straight for the window. A few others tried to stop him but he moved to quickly. With breaking of glass and the screeching of twisting metal he lunged out the window and into the night beyond. She looked on with something in her eyes not even she could explain.
Things had changed….
1 week earlier…
"I told you to stop that" he said for the fifth time in the last minute. Kaitlin just ignored him and kept poking him in the arm. They had been standing in this line for the last half hour and it didn't seem to get any closer to the end. But Lukas' patience was. His little sister kept poking him; a vacant expression on her face said it all: she was bored. Why his mum insisted he bring her along he will never know. "Im warning you" he said as Kaitlin kept poking him. She just ignored him and continued. Just as she was about to land another poke, Lukas' hand came up lightning quick and clamped down hard on her hand. She literally jumped with surprise and pain as her hand began to be crushed. Lukas just looked down at her with a blank, cold annoyed expression on his face. "I warned you" was all he said. He kept squeezing until she finally let out a yelp of pain.
"Ow, that hurt" she whined as she rubbed her sore hand. They both let out an exasperated breath as the dullness of the day set in once again. Kaitlin started fidgeting again, looking around at the drab marble walls and tiled floor and at the occupants of the room and the ridiculously long line. "I'm bored" she finally said after a total of thirty seconds.
"And I'm annoyed" came the quick response from Lukas.
"I want to do something"
"And I want you to be quiet"
"Can I go get a candy?"
"Can I go get a drink?"
"Can I…"
"You ask me one more question and I'm locking you in the car" Lukas could feel others eyes on him and his sister, but right now he really couldn't care. After another half hour of waiting and annoyance Lukas finally heard the words that saved him from this torment.
"Next please"
"Finally" he said as he approached the teller. "I like to make a deposit" he said to the less then bland women sitting behind the window.
"How much?"
"$600" he said as he pulled out a check from his wallet and handed it through the gap at the bottom of the window.
"One moment please" she said as she took the piece of paper and began typing something on the computer next to her. Thankfully this process only took a few minuets and Lukas and his sister were walking out of the bank and on to the side walk and into the sun. Lukas wasn't claustrophobic but it felt good to be out in the sun and air of this dead end town. He looked up and down the main road and sighed. He had been living here for nearly 12 years now, well more if you counted his early childhood, but Lukas never counted his childhood as living. He had managed to get away once, but this town had a habit of drawing you back in. he hated this place.
"Get in the bloody car, Kaitlin" he said as he saw his sister start twirling around in circles. He unlocked his car and eased into the rather cramped interior and started up the engine. His sister hoped into the passenger seat next to him and started to play around with the radio. The one thing he liked about his sister was the fact they had the same taste in music as she stopped on a channel that played some really got beats. Not any of the pop crap, but music that meant something. Often it was angry and hate filled, but there were a few songs that made you feeling good and not happy but better.
"Is it true you know the dude on the radio, Lukas?" she asked as a voice came over the radio going on about something random.
"Is it true you have an off switch hidden somewhere on you?" Lukas replied as he pulled out onto the road.
"Well is it?" Lukas looked down at his sister and knew that she would not give up until she had her answer.
"You're a persistent little thing aren't you" he said as he pulled up at the lights. He let out a sigh. "Yes, I know the dude off the radio". Which was in fact true, but he failed to mention that he also helped set up the station its self. A project that he and his mates had been working on for a while now, and was finally paying off. Well, for the others anyway. The radio distorted and Lukas looked down to see his sister playing around with it again. "Quit it" he said as he smacked away her hand and reset the station.
"Can we go home now?" Kaitlin asked.
"No. I've got a few more things to do." Lukas replied as he drove down the street.
"Like what?" she asked.
"Like dropping some things off at mates place, then I've got to do my food shopping for the week then I've got to go into work and get some shit organized, then I've got to drop off your sorry ass then I can relax for the rest of the bloody day" he took a deep breath as listened to the music drifting from the speakers.
"You okay?" she Kaitlin asked.
"Your sixth sense is uncanny"
"I've learned from the best" she said with a rather happy tone and a smile on her face. Lukas looked down at her and gave a little laugh. Kaitlin in fact was a bit psychic and it was unusually powerful for some one who's only ten. And Lukas was the only one who knew. He had been helping her with her powers ever since she told him that she could see things out of the ordinary. She could see where a person is and point to them on a map, hear other people's thoughts, even predict the future. But there was a down side to this. Her powers were hard to control and they often had a physical side affect when she used them. She was strong, but she was also dying. Lukas looked back to the road as he came close to his mates place.
"Okay. Stay here and don't touch anything" he said as he got out of the car and went over to the boot. Kaitlin gave him a showy pout but nodded when she saw the look on Lukas' face. She watched him go inside and waited for him to go inside before she reached over and turned on the radio. She listened to the same music they were listening to before but it wasn't long before she got bored. She looked around the inside of the car, looking for something to do, or pillage. She jumped into the back seat and continued looking. She spotted a rather plain looking wooden box on the floor hidden under the seat. She reached down to pick it up.

Hey, its Storm here. This is a new story and Co written with the amazing Patastic. Check out her story. :) I just hope you enjoy this because we both worked really hard. Also, maybe if you could review one of ares please go to the other person and review. That would be lovely. :) Here's Patti!
This is Trish (Patastic) right now. Wow, its actually getting published! So excited! Just, don't hate it okay? It actually took us brain power to start this story :)
Yeah, and thats asking a lot from me. :p On to the story! (Our baby XD)
Child's Play.
Ashley, was kidnapped and turned into a vampire at the young age of seven years old. Befriended by little Renesmee, Ashley doesn't realize how much danger she is truly in. Can her unexpected gift and the help of the Cullens save her before its to late?
I sat on my bed and looked up at the afternoon sky through my window. Looking all the way down to the ground, I saw the big clear yard just waiting for me. It reminded me of Hansel and Grettle, and how the explored through the whole forest just to be caught by that witch. Its a shame, I bet they were really tired, after all that adventure. The idea of exploring made me smile as I jumped of my daybed to my momma.
If I wanted to go outside, I needed permission.
"Mommy!" I yelled, running down the stairs and into the kitchen where she was making lunch. I jumped the last few steps but regretted it once I saw mommy's sour face. The broken door squeaked and I silently walked into the kitchen but I was still bouncy.
"Yes, honey?" She asked flipping some bread on the pan over the stove.
She turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back.
"Can I go outside?" I asked hopping up and down clapping my hands. I didn't get to go out today, at all, because it hasn't stopped raining since the morning. I don't know why Mommy had to pick a wet place to live.
Washington. Forks to be exact. Whenever someone asks were I live I start to laugh because it reminds me of a fork that you use to eat with. And she even asked me were I wanted to live and I said Australia, the name sounds so cool. And the day before that we learned about Australia in school, it sounded amazing. They said it was warm all the time, with cool animals like the koala bear and kangaroos ran around like our birds and squirrels. She almost promised me, we almost moved there.
But, instead she picked this dreary little town and its always raining. But when I complain mommy says that I will survive, and survive I do.
"How about you eat first?" Mommy said. Mommy turned around, and her red skirt flowed behind her, and gave me a bowl.
"Um, what is it?" I asked, scrunching my nose.
She smiled "What does it look like, silly?"
"Ice Cream!" I yelled and started jumping up and down again.
"No," I stopped jumping right away and frowned. "You eat that way to much. But, I'll make a deal, if you eat all your grilled cheese I'll allow you to have ice cream."
I thought about that. Do I want to eat the stupid sandwich and then eat ice cream or eat the sandwich and skip the ice cream? Or skip the sandwich and eat the ice cream? But then I can't have it, unless I eat the icky sandwich. "I want ice cream."
"Then eat the grilled cheese." She said and picked me up and sat me in the chair.
I giggled "Then the ice cream?" I asked with a piece of food in my mouth. I kicked my legs a little. There was such a huge space between my feet and the floor. Still dangling them, I listened to my Mommy's sweet voice.
"Yes, then the ice cream. And please don't talk with food in your mouth." She said leaning against the counter.
"Okay. Whoops." I said closing my mouth and mom just laughed shaking her head. I think my Mommy's laugh is the prettiest song in the world. I could listen to it all day.
I finished the sandwich in 4 bites. "Ice cream, mommy!" I said pushing my plate to the middle of the table to make room for my ice cream bowl.
She laughed, "Okay, honey." She walked by the table and grabbed my plate on the way to the freezer. "What kind? We have chocolate-"
I cut her off. "Chocolate!" I yelled, banging my fists on the table. My mommy shook her head in disapproval. She tsked and stood with her hands on her hips.
"What do you say?" She said getting the container out.
"Please." I sighed.
"Hey, no attitude, little lady, you're lucky you're getting anything sweet at all." She said pointing at me and I just giggled. She gave my two big scoops of ice cream and sat it down in front of me.
I took one bite, "Yummy." And I took another. I slowed down just a little bit. I remember getting a brain freeze, it hurt really, bad.
Mom sat next to me at the table. "So, are you ready for your first day of second grade tomorrow?" She smiled as I took another bite of my ice cream.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so, so, so excited. And Liz said that Mrs. Thompson are super nice. And I'll get to see Kate again. I didn't get to see her at all." I took another big of my ice cream, finishing it all. "Done." I said pushing the bowl away and jumping off the chair. And I burped then giggled.
"Ashley. And she is, super nice." Mom said disapprovingly.
"Excuse me. Can I go out now?"
"Yes, you can go out. But please put your shoes on this time. I don't want your white socks to look brown when you come in." I smiled and remembered the time that happened. It just rained and I didn't want to mess up my shoes, so I ran out and splashed in the mud. It was sticky and gross but really fun. I fell and laughed then I heard my mommy call me.
She was so mad at me. The mud went all the way up to my knees and she yelled and screamed at me. I felt so guilty that I ruined my dress. But I had fun and I would do it again. I hated those socks anyway.
"Okay." I said running down the short hall and slipped my untied shoes on and ran out the door. I went past the steps and opened our little red door. The door can be hard to open sometimes, and it can get stuck. Sometimes my mommy can't even pull it open.
"I love you Ashley!" Mommy yelled after me.
"I love you too!" I told her, just like I promised to every time I leave.
I remember her crying one night telling me that she never said she loved daddy one last time. Every time I leave the house now, she says she loves me, as do I to her.
Outside, the cool crisp air slapped my face, my cheeks heating up from the cold. I wanted my jacket but remembered that if I went back inside, Mommy might not let me back out. Instead, I went to the shed and looked around in it. Now, where did I throw my ball the last time I was out here?
"Do you know, Joshua?" I asked but he didn't answer. Of course. When I actually want help from him he doesn't. Ah well. What a silly friend.
I opened the door further and I saw a little shiny patch and went over to it and found my ball in the back behind the never used tent we have. I walked out and shut the door behind me. Dad told me to before he died. He always said, 'Don't forget to close that shed door, Ashley. Do you know why I want you to close it? So no animals well get in. That could leave on big mess or you could end up getting hurt. So, please just remember to close it.' Then he would pick me up in the air or tickle me.
I really miss daddy, but mommy said that he was in a better place and was looking over me. Its been two years since daddy last told me he loved me, but mommy says if I pray to him and tell him I love him he will tell me at night, in my dreams. At night I pray and daddy says he loves me.
My eyes started to water but I held it back as best as I could. Play time is not the time to cry. But remembering the night when they told us daddy was missing and they couldn't find him. That was the time to cry, but not here.
I walked into the middle of the yard and threw the ball in the air. It flew through the air and landed towards the woods. I ran over and went to pick it up, I heard a noise in the woods and looked over but saw nothing.
The rumbling started again, and I got a little scared. The darkness was everywhere and I squinted my eyes like Mommy does when she can't see and searched for the thing making the noise. I think I heard a growl from the scary area and backed up a little. A feeling in my stomach told me to get away from there now, but I shivered it away and skipped back to the yard.
Probably just a chipmunk or something, I thought. That kind of stuff happens a lot because there's a lot of animals here. But I bet animals in Australia are probably cooler but I guess I'll never know.
I took the ball back to the middle of the yard and threw it in the air. I threw it a few times and the one time it hit the ground and rolled towards the woods and I heard the same rustling sound. I picked up the ball and peered into the woods. I stood in the same spot and looked at where the noise was coming from. The feeling came back in my stomach and I think I started to feel sick. I ran to the house and opened the door. "Mommy! I keep hearing a noise!" Mommy stuck her head out the window, her hair blowing in the wind, squinting her eyes at me.
"Its probably just an animal, honey. I'm going downstairs to do laundry if you need me." She said from the kitchen. I couldn't fully see her but I could still hear her voice so that was fine with me. "Stay away from the woods and the trees. You hear me Ashley?" She screamed down.
"I know!!!" I yelled back.
I ran back to the yard and resumed playing with the ball. I threw it in the air and mid throw I heard the rustling noise, louder then before and I was further. It couldn't be a chipmunk. They're not that loud.
"Joshua?" I asked aloud. He's my friend. My Mommy says he's imaginary but he's real and been with me forever.
The sound was there again I started backing away, slowly. Then I turned around and went to run to the house but I felt something cold grab my waist. Like ice cubes trying to grab me down. I struggled and screamed. The hands that felt like snow covered my mouth and pulled me back into the woods.
I started to scream again but whatever it was put a hand back over my mouth and had a strong grasp. I started thrashing to try to get them to loosen their grip, but they were too strong. They felt like a really cold rock, stuck on my skin. I couldn't do anything. I tried screaming louder through their hand but it was to muffled to be loud enough to hear.
"Mommy!" I cried but it was muffled. I wish daddy was here, he was always outside with me. I felt tears pour from my eyes. I couldn't see anything. Everything was blurred by my tears that refused to disappear. "Mommy..." I got out, it seemed like a whisper. A sad, ghostly whisper.
Then the it started to talk. "Its okay, sweet dear. I'm here for you. Your mother doesn't want you anymore, so I'm here to take care of you forever." The lady said, that was clear. Her voice was motherly and it seemed that I could trust her, but I was told not to talk to strangers. "Don't worry, I'm here to be your mother. Now, if you don't scream I will take my hand off of your mouth, but you have to trust me. Do you trust me?"
Her hand hurt, but her voice was soothing. I wanted to yell and run, but her tight hold prevented me. Please, I thought to myself, someone help me.
I really didn't have a choice, so I nodded and, like she said, she removed her hand. "That's a good girl. Please, stop crying. There's no reason to. I'm not going to hurt you." I listened and tried to stop the tears, only a few slid down, but then it completely stopped. "Good job." She said turning me around so it was the first time I saw her. She was really pail and had very reddish purple eyes, which was different but cool. I never saw anyone with red eyes before. She had brown hair that hung down to her waist and blew back lightly with the wind. She was beautiful, but scary. Really scary. She looked like a barbie. A life sized, cold waxy barbie.
"Now, I'm taking you to my place. As I said, your mommy doesn't want you anymore. I'm saving you from going to another family." Mommy doesn't want me? But she said she loved me this morning. Mommy wants me, I know she does. Why wouldn't she? She'd get lonely with out anyone. So, she has to love me.
"Why doesn't she want me?" I asked, trying to be strong and not cry. It sounded like a little squeak, and I flinched when she turned to look at me. She said she wouldn't hurt me but she already did when she grabbed me. I looked around. We were deep in the woods. It was dark, haunting place where sounds came from everywhere. I curled up and hugged my knees, and tried my best to stay away from the barbie woman.
"You are just a burden in her life. She never really wanted you. You were just a bad accident. Remember, these are her words, not mine." She said and smiled a sad smile.
"An accident? So... so she never loved me? She lied when she told me she did?" I asked as a tear slid down. Why would she lie? She said that was bad, to always tell the truth, but she was lying all along. But I am just little me. And I was taught not to talk to strangers, especially not scary beautiful ones. I don't have to believe anything she tells me. Nothing at all.
"I'm sad to say, but yes dear." I don't believe it. She may say things about my lovely mother, but she know nothing of my daddy.
I thought about that. So, was daddy lying? Did he not really love me anymore, too? "Well, what about my daddy? Didn't he love me either?"
"No, your father, he loved you very much. Its really a shame he died." Who was this woman? This living barbie who knew so much about me? She doesn't know my daddy!
Then how does she know he died? I voiced what I just thought. "How do you know he died?" I whimpered a little. I feel comfortable around her, even though she could hurt me really bad.
"Well, I use to be friends with your mother and she had informed me. But after your fathers death we started growing apart. I always kept an eye on you because I knew that people that usually lose their husbands are not as they use to be for a while. I would know, I lost my husband in the war." I looked at her face. Daddy always said I was too smart for my years, and that I could read people really well. I studied her barbie face.
I glanced in her eyes and saw sadness. I felt bad for this lady. She seems so much like a mother. But she seemed like a woman who could get whatever she wanted. Her clothes were some things I know my mommy can't buy. Her hair looked perfect, and her shoes looked expensive. She could have taken another child. She could have adopted someone, like Ronnie from school.
He would tease me and tell me I'm weird. Daddy would say I'm special, and Mommy didn't like to talk about it. I almost cried when I realized that I may never see Ronnie again. That surprised me, even though he was awful toward me. Ronnie's older brother got lost in here. The woods are known for taking children.
"Why me? Why did you pick me to take?"
"Well, as I said before, your mother use to be my friend, so I kept an eye on you. Plus, you are very special." She smiled at me again.
I giggled. She sounded like my father, and anything that reminded me of daddy made me happy. I felt happy around the barbie lady, but I shouldn't. She took me away from mommy and I want to go home. But maybe if I act like I like the Barbie, she'll take me home. "Really?"
She nodded, "Really."
Her head shot up and I heard a creaking and shoving of the front door opening. "Ashley!" Mommy yelled. She sounded worried. I don't like it when she sounded worried.
My stomach lurched when I heard her voice, feeling like she was there to save me. I went to answer but the lady whispered in my ear. "Say your getting your ball that went in the woods." I wasn't going to obey her, I don't listen to anyone but mommy, but the Barbie lady growled at me, and made my heart beat really hard in my stomach, I even felt it in my head. I recoiled a bit but did what she said automatically, whether I wanted to or not.
"Im just getting my ball, mommy." I yelled back and the lady nodded in approval. She smiled at me, but it wasn't her gentle smile from before. It was evil looking, scary, twisted, and made me want to hide.
"Well, hurry up and get out. I told you not to go in there." She said . I could see mommy a little. Her brown hair hung loosely and freely on her back. Her red skirt was one of my favorites, and it looked odd with the green and brown colors of Forks. I could tell she wasn't wearing any shoes, because she liked to go barefoot around the house. She never liked wearing her apron but she never wanted to ruin her skirts so she wore them anyway. They had beads and shiny things on it any I always like them. Her skirt swung around her as she turned to shut the door. I fed my eyes on Mommy, something telling me that I may never see her again. I started to cry a little when I heard the front door shut, but the Barbie lady grabbed my face and looked at me.
"Very good, Ashley. I think it's time to go." She started backing into the woods further and further, very slowly.
I was leaving my mommy forever and I was being taken by this barbie lady that's now going to take care of me. I wonder how it will be? The woman kept telling me she didn't want me. I started to believe her, because she said at every moment. I guess mommy doesn't want me so it should be fine. I wonder why mommy would lie to me. Why didn't she just tell the truth?
She started walking though the woods at a fast pace. "She didn't want to hurt you, dear. But, don't worry, I will tell you the truth, always. I've always wanted a kid."
I stopped a little. I was hers now. Not mommy's.
"Why don't you have your own baby?" I asked and the barbie lady stopped too.
"Well, that's the thing, I can't. I could never have them and never will be able too. But I'm sure your a better kid then any that I could have."
"Really? And where are we going?" The questions blurted out. I felt like I was still talking too much . I couldn't see any ending in these woods. They seemed endless. I couldn't walk this far! I have little legs and little feet. I think Barbie noticed the look on my face, and picked me up. She picked me up fast, and my head got a little woozy. It was like sitting on a wooden bench.
"My house it on the other end of the woods. It might seem like a while till we get there but don't worry, its really not that far. Just close your eyes and well be there before you know it." She sped up a little and the woods and trees blurred past me. I couldn't see anything. I tasted the ice cream and sandwich I had earlier trying to come back up.
"I'm not tired. So I'm just going to see where we're going." I straightened in her arms. Her arms tightened around me, and it hurt really bad. I struggled a little more, and she squeezed tighter. Tears slipped through. She was being mean.
"No, your are going to sleep. Now fall asleep." She ordered harshly.
I thought she said she was going to be nice. I looked up at the sky through all the trees. It's about two o'clock and she's making my fall asleep. I don't want to go to sleep. I want to see where my new house is. Why is she so mean? I want my mommy back. She's nice, and she never hurt me.
Barbie couldn't tell me what to do. She wasn't my momma!
"No. I don't want to." I then just passed out, without a warning. I could still hear everything but I couldn't see, nor move. I felt paralyzed and it scared me. I went to scream but nothing came out.
What came next scared me more. I heard an ear piercing scream then it was quiet. "Wow, that was a simple." I heard Barbie say. Simple? She just killed someone? "Now, lets see. I need to make a child's room really fast." I felt like I was being sat down. I was places on a couch.
Whats happening to me? Why is this happening? Is she going to torture me? She's not as nice as she seemed. She was just trying ways to get to me. Did she lied about the whole not lying thing? Is she lying to me right now? And why can't I move? Why can't I talk? Is she some witch from my mommy's scary stories? She castes one of her sleeping spells?
Without notice, I woke up and she was standing over me. My head throbbed and something on my side hurt really bad. I looked back up at Barbie."How was your nap?" She said smiling.
She was too close to me. I wanted her to back away. I wanted Joshua to protect me. I want my daddy. I just want to get away from the Barbie woman. "I want my mommy. I don't want to be here. Please, take my back." I said going into a quick sitting position. I inched back so that she was even more away from me, and her grinch looking smile would wipe off her face.
She noticed. Her smug grin fell, and she frowned.
"I'm sorry, she doesn't want you. And I'm sorry I was rude to you. That was really uncalled for. Please forgive me, honey."
She called me honey! I'm not her honey. I panicked, and stood on the dusty red couch. "No! I want my real mommy!" I yelled and she straighten up away from me, a little startled by my sudden loudness.
"I'm really sorry. Please stop. I swear that will never happen again." She said through clenched teeth. A fear flashed through me and I got goosebumps. Did I make a mistake?
"You scare me!" I cried. I tried to push her away, but she felt like a wall.
"Well, maybe that's a good thing. You listen to me." Barbie growled.
I felt my side hurt again, and I pulled my shirt up to reveal a terrible, ugly bruise, on my entire side. Barbie sighed, and grabbed at me.
"Sit down." she ordered and I did. I stood again. Why was I listening to this woman!
I flinched again. Her face angered again, but couldn't take this anymore. I jumped from the couch and ran to the door. I turned, and the woman stood there staring at the the spot where I stood. I opened the front door and ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. Not looking, I suddenly ran into something hard and fell down with a grunt. I looked up to see the only thing I didn't want to right now.
She stood over me and grabbed the front of my shirt and held me up, "That..." She started, her grin spreading wide across her face "... was very foolish of you, little one." She said smiling, showing all her teeth. "You must be taught a lesson."
She knelt to the ground, hand pushed hard on my shoulder to keep me down. I was trying to wiggle free but it was useless. She bend over my face, her face to close to my face. "This is only going to hurt a little, but it's the only way we can be together." She bent down closer.
"Wait!" I yelled throwing my hands in front of me and she did stop. "Momm- my old mommy, made me promise to get to know a person before I stay with them. Please, tell me about you before you hurt me again."
Barbie stared at me really hard. I shivered a little from the cold air of Forks. I looked back into her eyes, and they were no longer the violet red I saw before. They were a frightening black. Pitch black. I recoiled. The Barbie opened her mouth to speak.
"How would you understand anything, Ashley? You're only eight." She looked at me again, then answered. "My name in Mary- Ann Sullivan. And I am a vampire." She said.
"A vam-" I broke off screaming when I felt a sharp pain in my neck as she bit down. I don't want to die. I kept chanting in my head. And I swore I saw my daddy, before everything in sight went black.

McYondis O'Dents
A poem based on a character within the fictional country of Felonia, located east of Estonia, which contains a distinct culture, language, and history.
McYondis O' Dents
And so its been said, wither and whence,
That no man is known like McYondis O'Dents.
He travels to and fro, and has for many years,
Weighs just 15 shnoggles, and has no fears.
His trademark, the jingle of coins in his pants,
Gathered from others all across the land.
He preaches the Sheesin, tales spill from his chin,
Chanting words: Argus, Adondo,
Shneed, Shnod...What a Wando!
Bincus and Nevus, Fishfongo and Phelps,
Sumpy and Wumpy and even Treegelts
Little is known of McYondis O'Dents,
No one is sure if he is making sense.
But still he smiles, from ear to ear,
And brings laughter to all those who hear.
Yes, little is known of this great man,
