All Characters created by Stephenie Meyer
Chapter 1
Lost souls
Isabella Swan, Bella to those closest, was a very selfless human being with a glowing personality which she tried to keep hidden from the world. It's not that she didn't attract attention, because she did she attracted plenty you see Bella is a very beautiful women, she had long naturally curly chestnut hair, deep milk chocolate eyes and porcelain skin which set off her natural beauty just perfectly but of course she didn't see herself clearly at all, to her she was plain but Bella Swan was certainly not plain. So she hid herself away from the opposite sex in hope that she would never have to experience any more heartache.
At 23 years old, Bella is completely alone. When she was much younger her parents Charlie and Renee Swan divorced. Renee had found love with a much younger man and left her husband for this baseball playing home wrecker. Bella's older brother refused to speak to Renee and expected Bella to follow suit but when Bella announced that she too would be in fact leaving Washington with her mother, Emmett Swan terminated both relationships with his only female relatives. Through time Bella lost all contact with her Father who still to this day lives in a small town called Forks, she doesn't know what has become of her brother and each day she hates herself a little more for not having her remaining family close to her.
At the ripe at of 18 Bella's mother was killed in a car accident, leaving Bella broken hearted and without her best friend. Bella remained in Jacksonville, Florida with her step dad Phil. That where she went to college and studied English literature. Bella found that writing stories and losing herself in a good book helped her escape the painful reality she lived in.
When Bella turned 21 yet again another milestone age was laced in tragedy. Phil had an underlying heart condition that know knew about so whilst coaching some local team he suffered a major heart attack and died. Now Bella had lost the only father she could remember and loved but instead of falling into a hole and crying her problems away she opens her rather pricey laptop, a gift from Phil, and wrote a story about a girl who didn't live quiet so happily ever after. Bella would write her feelings in her stories rather than live them. She was hiding in her words, she was playing this dangerous game that someday would come back and bite her in the ass but she continued to write about Belle and her life story.
College was over and Bella felt no need and that time to look for a job but just lived at her computer and created an alternative reality where she could be anything she wanted to be.
Bella inherited all her mothers and Phil's belongings and money, which for a 21 year old just starting out was a hell of a lot of pocket money. Bella was never the reckless type, so this money she had just sitting away in her bank account would most likely stay there for a very long time.
Bella loved Jacksonville, it was her home but it doesn't matter how longs she's lived there she's always had a first home which bared no resemblance to this place and no matter how long she lived in the sun, rain is always in her blood. This is what she was missing even though she didn't know it.
The stories that Bella know spent the whole of her spare time writing where making appearances on her online journal and getting great reviews, so when a big shot publishing company read the first few pages of the stories she wrote after Phil's demise, they tracked her down and begged her to allow them to publish her works. At this point Bella was 22 years old, alone and living too much in the fiction she wrote so she took her pathetic self and her grieving words and moved to Chicago, where hopefully her life wouldn't be so bad and maybe, just maybe she could have friends.
When she first moved to the big wet city, she saw a huge difference in the way of life. She didn't think she would fit in or even like it here but during the many grueling hours she spend at the main publishing house with her book Editor Esme Cullen, she saw the beauty in such a industrial place of course Esme's natural knack of seeing the beauty in everything rubbed off a bit. Esme's even saw the beauty in Bella's cold, dark book.
Esme was a wonderful human being, very compassionate. Someone Bella desperately needed in her life, even though Esme was a 49 year old happily married mother of two adult children she was a very good friend of Bella's. Esme reminded Bella of her own mother so much that some days it was physically painful for Bella to be in such close proximity to her.
Bella always turned down Esme's continuous offers of dinners at her home, Bella's excuse was always that of work or some prior engagement. The last invite was to her daughter's engagement party but of course Bella declined that offer, the real truth of the matter is that Bella can't stand being with happy families when she didn't have a happy family herself.
It was November already; Thanks giving were two days away so everyone everywhere was busying getting things ready and all up in arms about seeing family members that they haven't seen in months. Esme was her bubbly self as she and Bella put the finishing touches to her later chapters. Once again Bella was invited to the Cullen's but she gratefully declined the offer.
Esme was very concerned about Bella, she thought of her as a second daughter. Often Esme would leave work worried about Bella; she would air her concerns to her husband Carlisle who every day fell more in love with his wife and her unlimited compassion. Esme's son Edward was the one in fact who alerted his mother about Bella's stories.
Edward also writes on the online site to ease boredom at times and when he stumbled across brokenbellz stories he fell in love with them. Each story captured him and pulled him in but this one particular one made his heart break as though he was in the story, he felt belle's pain after the loss of her parents. Esme was so intrigued by the way Edward would talk up this author that she spends days and night searching for this girl until she tracked her down and demanded that she allow her to publish this book. Edward is still completely oblivious to Esme's latest signing.
Edward Cullen is a rather shy individual, after he was accepted to Oxford University in England he moved from the states and never came back. He missed his true home but he found it extremely difficult to say what he wanted, he hated making a fuss and he knows that if he came back there would be celebrations within the Cullen household from months, so he stayed put.
Edward is a very intelligent man; he studied the art of medicine but his true passion lay in music. Whilst training his mind to be a doctor, just like his father his heart learnt to play the piano. During the end of his teenage years Edward scoured the British coast looking for new and exciting music venues which set his soul on fire. Now Edward spent his time in these classic clubs where he wasted his spare hours. Edward lived on his own and liked his bachelorhood until the recent news of his sister Rosalie's engagement made him see that he was in fact a very lonely man who lived his life through others musical talents.
When Edward first started at London central children's hospital he loved his job but now with his new found loneliness he found it difficult to help heal children, something which he's always longed for. Edward had tried dating but none of the string of women he's encountered have keep his interest long enough to make anything serious out of it, with his outstanding good looks and his growing bank account, Edward only encountered one type of woman.
Edward stood out the most with his looks; he was to look at flawless. A bronze mass of hair that framed perfectly chilled cheekbones and enchanting jade eyes. He stood 6"2 off the ground, he took Carlisle's height that's for sure but his heart was as big as his mother's.
Now at almost 29 years old, Edward Cullen was at a crossroads. What do to with his life that was rapidly being thrown away? Esme begged her son to come home and after much consideration he agreed. Now Edward was landing with a waiting party eagerly taking up space at arrivals in the airport.
Carlisle was extremely proud of his son and had already gotten him a new job at the children's ward of Chicago's main hospital. Carlisle at first was upset that Edward gave up his real dreams of becoming a musician just to follow in his footsteps but when you see Edward doing his job you can't not help but think that is his true calling.
As Edward was greeted by his family he felt for the first time in years that he was home. He may be a little older and has a British accent but his is home, in his beloved Chicago. Esme was the first to welcome back her son, then Carlisle and last but certainly not least was Edward younger sister Rosalie.
Rosalie was an equally as beautiful as her brother, maybe even more so. Her honey blonde flowing locks, the exact same colour as Carlisle's, she also shared the same colour eyes of her mother's blue orbs. Her body was that of a model's but with beauty as great as Rosalie's came great consequences. She attracted all the wrong kinds of attention and was often treated as the silly blond bimbo.
Rosalie may be dressed in the latest fashions and have a regular appointment to have her nails done but you don't mess with Rosalie. In her job as a car technician it's rare to come across a woman, so discrimination is a regular occurrence but instead of taking the easy way out and complaining she worked her toned ass off and now is head of her division.
Rosalie unlike her brother has no interest in music and unlike her mother, Rose has no interest in books but she and her father share a passion of sports. Rosalie is also runs a local children's charity where she organizes events for under privileged children, so she often creates workshops for the children to take part in. This is where she can mix her two passions and enjoy herself fully. It was almost three years ago when she first started a baseball workshop for the children, that's where Rosalie met her future husband-to-be, Mr. Emmett Swan.
Emmett was finishing up yet another sports degree from the University of Washington but still hadn't decided what the hell he wanted to be in the crazy thing called life. Charlie was constantly on his case but Emmett never truly grew out of being a stroppy teenager. When Emmett saw an advertisement for a kiddies sports coach for a small charity he jumped at the chance to move away from Forks and actually get a job which hopefully wouldn't be too challenging.
So when he meets Carlisle, who was interviewing on behalf of Rosalie who was at work he feel in love with Chicago and more or less begged Carlisle to hire him. Carlisle saw a lot of a younger Edward in Emmett and hired him on the spot.
Rosalie was extremely impressed with Emmett's résumé and agreed with her fathers decision instantly, it's only when she met Emmett did she doubt their choice but after seeing him work with the children it was love at second sight. Emmett and Rosalie shared so many of the same interests that it didn't take long for them to fully commit to each other.
Charlie was finally pleased that Emmet's life had started. Charlie often wondered if he could have done more to make Renee and Bella stay or what he should have done as a husband to keep Renee satisfied so she shouldn't have found it elsewhere. Every day he regrets the decisions he made for both him and Emmett, maybe Emmett would have been more responsible if he had a his mother around and a sister to protect.
Emmett barley remembers his mother and his sister; over the years he's tried to block out all remaining traces of them because hurts to much but there's not one day that goes by that he doesn't miss his sister and wishes that he had the guts to find her and apologies for not being her big brother. After Charlie lost all contact with Bella and Renee it's as though they don't exist. Neither name is ever brought up around the Swan household, despite Charlie's new wife trying to convince Charlie and Emmett to build bridges. Both men have no idea of Bella's current whereabouts or situations but both me would never allow Bella to live they way she does if they did know.
After 3 years of dating Emmett finally proposed to Rosalie. Charlie and his wife Ellen where thrilled as where Carlisle and Esme. Rosalie decided that she wanted a small ceremony in the Cullen family home but all the final details haven't been sorted out yet.
Emmett was meeting Edward for the first time at the gates of the airport and within a matter of minutes of meeting one another, they were brothers. Edward and Emmett are polar opposites but some souls aren't meant to be apart. Emmett is used to befriending people completely different from himself and Edward with his shy manner and gentlemen way reminding Emmett of another old soul, His old college roommate and step-brother Jasper Swan.
Jasper was a very old soul living in a young boy's body and found Emmett's company fascinating. They came from similar back rounds, where's Emmett had no mother, Jasper didn't know his father and so when the holidays arrived Ms. Whitlock would come all the way from Texas to see Jasper. Charlie being the stand-up man he is invited Ellen and Jasper to dinner each year Ellen and Charlie fell deeper in love with each other until Ellen finally gave up and married Charlie. Jasper took the family name of Swan and was a proud member of an almost complete family.
Jasper had finished college with a psychology degree and got a job at a mental institute, not a perfect job for a freshly qualified young man but none the less if Jasper hadn't taken that job he would never have met Mary-Alice Brandon.
Mary is a very bright happy person who's had a life she didn't deserve. Her parents are highly religious and I guess Mary-Alice wasn't the ideal child so she was beaten, daily. When Mary turned 15 she stopped eating, she stopped talking and to fell into a black abyss where she lost all interest of living thanks to her parents and overachieving sister.
Mary-Alice was already small built, she was a mere 4"10 but with her lack of nutrition she looked so much smaller. She had long silky black hair with ended just below her shoulder blade, her eyes where an almost navy shade of blue. She was very beautiful but she didn't feel it.
Each time Mary got a lecture on what God expects from her she used to protest in her own way, she'd stop eating until she was hospitalized and for those few days that she wasn't hope, she was happy. Mary-Alice deep down inside was an extremely over the top person, she had such an explosive personality hidden away from the world it's should have been a crime.
When Mary-Alice turned 18 she hit rock bottom and so did her parents, they admitted her to a mental hospital. When there Mary-Alice's mental state got a lot worse until a new Doctor started working there. The doctor saw through the skinny exterior and pale complexion and finally saw the real Mary.
For the first time in so many years Mary felt beautiful, all thanks to Doctor Jasper Swan.
Jasper signed Mary out of the hospital and took her home where Mary cut off her long hair into a short pixie bob and refused to be called Mary, which was the day Alice was born. Not too long after that day Jasper took Alice as his bride in a small ceremony in Forks where the once depressed Mary Brandon was legally made Alice Swan. Jasper left the hospital to be a stay at home husband, his trust fund made sure that both of them were secure for the time being.
After much persuasion from Jasper Alice went to the local community college where she re-sat all her exams she missed when she went onto college to study art and design; which she passed at the top of her class.
After Emmett moved to Chicago, Alice noticed how Jasper missed his brother so much and applied for a job with a small gallery near Emmett's new home. When Alice finally heard back from them she literally jumped for joy when she got the job. Jasper was also over the moon at moving nearer his brother, Emmett was also ecstatic. Charlie and Ellen where the only ones a little sad at the news of losing both their sons to the windy city.
Alice was enjoying her job; the company she works for does a lot of cover designs for books and works with lots of different companies, so it was just another day in the office when Esme and Bella walked through the door. Esme had a specific idea in mind for Bella's book cover and she had been working with Alice to get it just right. Alice was completely unaware that Esme was Emmett's future mother-in-law as for work Alice uses Jasper's previous surname of Whitlock strictly for professional reasons and since Jasper and Alice are new to the city they haven't officially met. That what party tonight was meant to be, a family get together. Charlie and Ellen were making their way down as well.
Alice's first impressions of Bella broke her heart, she reminded Alice so much of her pervious self. Alice felt a pull to Bella, like they are meant to be friends. During the meeting Alice tried in vain to engage Bella in light non-work related conversation but Bella just passed it off as pity and just smiled politely at her.
Bella left the meeting with a weight lifted off her shoulder all that was left on her book to be worked on was the ending and since Esme is was always hinted that the ending can always be changed, Bella was unsure of what to do. Esme's knows that the girl with an unhappy ending was Bella and she always had hope for her.
But all hope went out of the window the moment Bella set foot into Grand Central bank and her future abruptly became bleak. She took her place in the queue behind a tall man who at first glance caught her eye by his unusual colour hair, the bronze shade of it reminded her a much brighter version of Esme's, this made her smile. The bronze haired man turned around and smiled at her, Bella's heart picked up and she couldn't help her body's reaction to this stranger so her face lit up and she returned the smile.
Edward was very taken by Bella. When he felt a new presence behind him he couldn't explain the urge he suddenly felt to look at this person. When he did turn around he wasn't disappointed by the Goddess who was only centimeters away from him. Edward attention was quickly diverted from Bella to Rosalie who was shooting daggers at him. Rosalie was busting his balls for dragging her all around Chicago on her engagement party night. They where mean to be meeting Jasper, Emmett and Alice almost half an hour ago. Emmett alerted Rosalie that they'll come and find them.
Bella caught Edwards's eyes moving from her to the blonde by the door, it figures a guy like Edward wouldn't want a girl like Bella or so her head told her. Bella returned to herself conscious self and turned her eyes to the ground so she didn't see her long lost brother stumble in and take the blond in his arms, she also missed Alice's graceful entrance along with her step-brother she didn't know. With her eyes still fixed on her scuffed up doc martins she also missed the entrance of another three people. In that moment her future has become unknown territory, along with all the other lost souls who just happen to be in the wrong place at the very wrong time.
Edward also missed their entrance because he was too fixed on the girl behind him. Rosalie and Emmett were wrapped up in each other to care about anyone other than themselves so they too were completely oblivious. Jasper was holding his wife in his arms as she read a rough draft of Bella's unfinished book which she gave to her as inspiration for the book cover, so both of them were also too busy to notice what was about to happen, until it was too late.
The three bodies who walked through the door were James and Victoria Thomas and Laurent bleu. All three of them had histories which set them on the path their currently on but their stories wasn't as bad as some of the others we've come to counter all ready but what makes the difference between them and all the other people?
You see Bella, Edward, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Emmett where born in different ways and grew up in ways, they made different choices and have been hurt badly but they weren't born with evil in them, some people are truly lost souls and the other three are classic examples of such people. Born with malice programmed in them.
After trying their hand at many different schemes the trio soon realized that the fastest way to an easy life was to steal the money they spend. Draped in designer clothing and driving the latest Ferrari model, they've become accustomed to their life and would do anything in their power to keep up their luxury lifestyle. A simple murder means nothing to them, the feel untouchable.
Over the many years, many lives have abruptly come to a premature end at the hands of those three. Now everything seems so boring, stealing a car, taking a house, killing. James needed a challenge and the other two agree. So robbing a major bank, in a major city at a busy time suited James just fine. James didn't really honestly care about the money his wife Victoria craved he lived for the kill and the chase after.
No one in the bank is safe; James's unpredictable nature suspended everyone's future. Now with Laurent and Victoria at his flanks he aimed and fired his gun at the nearest body, which happened to be an old security guard. The shot's loud bang echoed throughout the building alerting everyone to their presence.
Bella instantly removed her eyes from her shoes and Edward pulled his gaze from Bella. Jasper and Alice held each other tighter and Emmet and Rosalie stopped their display of public affection all six of them watched the three excuses of human beings laugh at the bleeding man. A few screams sounded around and panic was everywhere, there was no escape.
James had started the biggest chase of his life. His dark chuckles sent shivers down Bella's spine. Her now pathetic life didn't seem so bad, at least she had a damn life but now maybe it was a bit too late to start living it. Edward was experiencing similar regrets as were most of the people in the building.
Victoria hit the lock down button, and pointed her own gun at the shaking bank assistant. The lady complied with her wishes. In all of the terror Edward had reached out and held Bella's hand firmly, Bella's was very thankful at the soothing contact with another human being, it has been too long.
James was making rounds, looking each person up and down; chilling them to the bone with his cold stares. When James descending on the linking Bella and Edward he found something to his liking. A better more hurtful challenge. Edward was standing tall and holding Bells like his own life depended on it and James saw Bella as unobtainable, something that he really didn't like. He wished that Victoria would hold him like that; little did James know that Bella and Edward were complete strangers but he was extremely jealous an emotion James isn't used to experiencing and this angered him beyond belief.
As if Edward could read his mind he pulled Bella's tiny frame behind him and James growled, how dare Edward stand up to him. Edward wasn't in charge, he was and the blaring police sirens just proved his point more. Alice stopped the confrontation, instantly recognizing Bella she gasped. Jasper saw his wife's distress unaware that his step-sister was in danger. Emmett also watching the scene with Rosalie gripping him holding back tears for her brother was also unaware that it was his sister that Edward was protecting by staring a gun straight in face.
As the bank locked down and the road outside filled with police, James smiled rather hauntingly. This is what James lives for.
Life is such a strange thing, it can be taken away quickly as the guard now knows. Now it doesn't matter what has happened in everyones lives before this point, they may never get a chance to change what they wanted. Bella might die alone, Emmett might die without knowing his sister, Rosalie might never be able to tell those she loved how much they really mean to her, Edward might die not knowing Bella wrote those stories that were his only company at night, Alice might die not telling Jasper that hes going to be a father and Jasper might die not telling his pregnant wife he knows about the baby, because Alice can't hid pregnancy tests well.
From here on out their lives which at some point they've all hated or still hate mean more to them than all their trivial problems ever did. They have to hope for a second chance to live.
So what does everyone think? Please let me know!
Chapter 2 will be posted by Sunday.
Thank you a million!

Most people perform day-to-day tasks on autopilot. Are you guilty of doing the same thing with how you get referrals?
This webinar is intended to address the key lessons I've learned over 10 years. They include tips on how to generate more and better referrals as well as the lifetime advantages of why you want to persist with developing this skill and not retreat to old ways.
Evaluate yourself by viewing this webinar and asking yourself: 'What am I doing well and what do I need to get better at?'
Since 2002 Matt Anderson, The Referral Authority, has been fine-tuning referral systems that can work for any financial adviser willing to do the press ups.
This webinar will cover the best ideas he has to help you generate more revenue this year in the most rewarding manner - by having others endorsing you.
You will learn:
1. The keystone habits to be most consistent with asks and be more comfortable with asking for referrals
2. A simple 4 step system to get more referrals from clients and centres of influence (COIs).
3. How to refine your introducer list from 100 to 20
4. The most useful questions to use to identify opportunities with clients and introducers
5. The best tracking tools to measure your progress
All advisors have some quality relationships with people who could open some great doors if they were asked effectively.
Given that it's virtually a free way to market, and given how much we love COI referrals (because now someone else is telling others to meet with us), why are our results often so weak?
How do you tap into great referral opportunities from other professionals, friends and family, and/or top clients?
It's time to get these referral opportunities going. Join us to find out how other advisors:
*Decide who the best COIs are
*Build these relationships so that the COI is open to help them
*Coach their COIs so that they get the referrals they want
*Develop a system to keep the referral flow more consistent

This webinar is intended to address and share the key lessons I've learned over 10 years. They include tips on how to generate more and better referrals as well as the lifetime advantages of why you want to persist with developing this skill and not retreat to old ways.
Watch this webinar live so you can evaluate yourself in each area and ask:
"What am I doing well and what do I need to get better at?"
Even though most people know the benefits of a strong employee referral program, encouraging employees to actually submit qualified candidates can be challenging. Learn how Nitro - a digital document software solution used by over 50% of Fortune 500 companies - tackled this problem using software platforms RolePoint and Greenhouse.
In this Hiring Hacks webinar, Jennifer Trendler, Head of Talent at Nitro, discusses how she and her team created a seamless (and fun!) process to drive a high volume of qualified referrals. Jennifer will give an inside look into the processes that Nitro put in place that resulted in a thriving employee referral channel.

Mervyn King: (March vote - no change to policy)
The Bank of England Governor and chairman of the Monetary Policy Committee.
King joined the MPC in 1997 and was for a long time seen as hawkish –
regularly voting for tighter monetary policy than his colleagues. However,
since the financial crisis, he has softened his stance. He led the charge to
slash interest rates and launch quantitative easing, the buying of assets
using the Bank's balance sheet. In a speech on January 25, King hit back at
criticism that the Bank had gone soft on inflation, saying it would be wrong
to tighten policy in response to short-term price pressures.
– Dovish
'Raise interest rates before it's too late'

The New Zealand dollar was little changed ahead of the US presidential elections and a review of interest rates from the Reserve Bank of Australia that may narrow the gap with New Zealand rates.
The kiwi dollar traded at 82.44 US cents from 82.51 cents at 5pm in Wellington yesterday. The trade-weighted index was at 73.91 from 73.95.
In the US, the battle for the presidency remains too close to call. President Barack Obama pulled ahead of Mitt Romney in an October 31 - November 3 national poll conducted by the Pew Research Center, favoured by 48 per cent versus 45 per cent, compared with a deadlock of 47 per cent a week ago. In Australia, the central bank is expected to cut its cash rate to 3 per cent from 3.25 per cent.
The New Zealand dollar slipped to 79.55 Australian cents from 79.65 late yesterday.
"The key test for the cross will come from today's RBA meeting, which remains a close call," said Kymberly Martin, strategist at Bank of New Zealand. "If a cut is delivered it would likely see the NZD/AUD re-test September's 0.8060 highs. An 'on-hold' decision, however, could also prompt a significant reaction."
The first leg of this week's data on the labour market comes today with the labour cost index expected to show a quarterly gain of 0.5 per cent, unchanged from three months earlier, for an annual pace of 2.1 per cent. That's a precursor to Thursday's household labour force survey, which may show the economy added jobs while the unemployment rate fell to 6.7 per cent from 6.8 per cent.
"We are wary of some softer looking filled jobs and especially paid hours data from the Quarterly Employment Survey, following their strong readings in Q2," Martin said. "This may cause the market to increase RBNZ rate cut expectations as we head into Thursday's HLFS employment data."
The kiwi rose to 64.47 euro cents from 64.34 cents and rose to 51.62 British pence from 51.48 pence. The currency fell to 66.17 yen from 66.43 yen.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Reading the OLC torture memos is enough to make you ill. The techniques in question are plainly and instinctively abhorrent by any common sense definition, and the authors of the memos obviously know it. But somehow they have to conclude otherwise, so they write page after mind-numbing page of sterile legal language designed to justify authorizing it anyway. It's not torture if the victim survives it intact. It's not against the law if it takes place outside the United States. Waterboarding is OK as long as it isn't performed more than twice in a 24-hour period. Sleep deprivation of shackled prisoners for seven days at a time is permissible as long as the victim's diaper is changed frequently. And on and on and on.
Do they know this is torture? Of course they do. Glenn Greenwald is right when he says the excerpt below is probably all you need to read. What it says, in a nutshell, is that when other people do this stuff, we naturally call it torture. But when we do it, it's not. Sickening.

When we first got into Berlin we did a bus tour to see some of the main sights... Had dinner at the hostel and then went behind the Berlin Wall (East Side gallery) on the water for some drinks. The next day was another waking tour. Germany and in particular Berlin has SO MUCH history. Dating back to 18th/19th century and the times surrounding the World Wars! There were ...

... brings everyone, no matter how different they are, together. It was a beautiful morning. Some girl from our group tried to take a selfie and dropped her phone over the edge. The world spins madly on. After sunrise, we walked back 25 minutes to the hostel and Jordan N and I split a croissant from the cafe inside of the hostel, and we went to sleep at 6 AM. I'm happy to say that other than my time actually spent inside of the club, the night at the famous Berlin clubs was not so ...

The next day, I woke up early again (7:30) and went to the Museumplein, a quad of museums. This is also were the I Amsterdam sign is. I visited the Van Gogh museum and learned ...

Berlin is everything we expected and more: Spacious, liberal, artsy, cultured.... FUN. We've booked an apartment nearby for a few more days. The contrast to Prague can't be more stark. Prague is a medieval city that had no war damage, and so the narrow streets are packed with tourists. Berlin ...
We were and ready to go by 9 this morning, and decided to do a bike tour on the recommendation of a Melbourne couple on the tour. We walked to the TV tower, which thankfully is very easy to find and we have been using it to find our bearings. The tour started at 11 and went to around 4pm, stopping for lunch at a beer garden in the Tiergarten in the centre of Berlin. The Tiergarten is a huge park originally for the Monarchy to hunt in.

Wojciech Szczesny is convinced Arsenal can be serious contenders in this season's Champions League.
The Gunners were handed a favourable draw with Borussia Dortmund, Galatasaray and Anderlecht in Group D (click here for fixture details), but Szczesny admits they are fed-up of being also-rans in Europe.
Arsenal keeper Szczesny says they are determined to go further in the knock-out stages after falling at the first hurdle last season.
Szczesny said: "Obviously, if you take part in any competition and play for such a big club, you want to win it.
"It's a great competition, you know how tough it is, but with the quality we have got, if we stay consistent for the whole season, then we will give it a go.
"Even when you look at the Besiktas game, we were under a lot of pressure. We had to play with ten men in both games and we showed character and experience which made the difference.
"Hopefully that experience will get us through in the Champions League Group stages and go as far as people expect us to."
Szczesny also believes the addition of world class Alexis Sanchez can boost their European ambitions as he says the Chilean forward can be prolific this season after opening his account against Besiktas.
Szczesny added: "I'm sure there's many more goals to come from him. He's been around for a few weeks now, we see how good he is in training. He is very sharp, very strong as well, he's not the tallest but puts himself about.
Arsenal 1-0 Besiktas in pictures:
"He's a strong lad, works very hard as well so we're delighted for him to score his first goal because that will take the pressure off a bit.
"He wins headers. Even when we are ut under pressure against Besiktas, we had to go long and he won most of the long balls. He's a very strong lad.
"He will handle the physical aspect of the game. You're the best keeper in the world, he's got a great spirit?
"He's got plenty of energy, plenty of pace as well. he runs for 90 minutes. He will be a very strong player for us. Not only scoring goals but working hard in defence. He will be a really good player for us."

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Unfortunately, there's no specific treatment for IVH, except to treat any other health problems that may worsen the condition. Although care of sick and premature babies has advanced greatly, it's not possible to prevent IVH from occurring. However, giving medications (called corticosteroids) to mothers who are at risk of early delivery has been shown to lower the risk of IVH in the baby. These steroids are often given to women between 24 and 34 weeks gestation.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

The west country club, whose 60-9 rout of Newcastle left them one match away from their first Twickenham final for 12 years, have scored 18 tries in their last two home matches.
But they still want Glas, a substitute during the last World Cup Final, to increase their creative capabilities. He will decide within a fortnight whether to follow South African full back Thinus Delport to Kingsholm.
Director of rugby Nigel Melville said after the nine-try play- off quarter-final against Newcastle: 'We are following up indications that Stephane wants to play for us. He would be a fantastic signing for us because he would open up a whole area of our game.'
Gloucester are also planning an overhaul of their coaching strategy, which could result in Ryan being invited to make the short journey to Kingsholm and revive an alliance with Melville which goes back to their playing days at Wasps more than a decade ago.
Melville refused to discuss individuals but acknowledged that alterations are on the way. He said: 'I am planning some changes to my coaching staff. The current coaches know I am doing something in that respect.'
The changes will go beyond the hiring of Springbok physiotherapist Wayne Diesel. Any bid for Ryan, while emphasising Gloucester's ambition to knock Leicester off their perch, would be resisted by Bristol, who could, ironically, meet their neighbours in the play-off final on June 8.
Bristol chairman Malcolm Pearce said: 'Dean has another year to run on his contract and still has a job to do. I know he and Nigel are good pals but I'd be disappointed if Dean was not with us next season. I am close to him and if he wanted to do something else he would speak to me about it. He hasn't.'
It is a case of watch this space, which is what Newcastle patently failed to do in conceding tries to nine different players without reply. Significantly, they conceded all nine once Jonny Wilkinson's season had been brought to a painful end when he was collared by Gloucester's Samoan No.8, Junior Paramore.
Without their navigator, Newcastle hit the rocks at such regular intervals that they finished up listing badly enough to leak all the tries in a period of 60 minutes.
Manager Rob Andrew, extending the sea-faring metaphor, said: 'To ship 60 points is an ordeal. But they will be stronger for the experience.'
Newcastle's distinguished departing crew of Pat Lam, Doddie Weir, Gary Armstrong and George Graham deserved better than an hour of devastation which, if nothing else, revealed the extent of the side's reliance on their fly half.
His ankle damage gives holic Wilkinson no option but to do nothing for the next six weeks.
Lam, retiring at 33 before taking up an appointment as Scotland's assistant coach until the World Cup, predicted it would be only a matter of time before Wilkinson assumed the England captaincy.
Lam said: 'He has a huge future, not just as an international captain. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets it before the World Cup.'
Newcastle's disintegration without him guaranteed a triumphal end of season at Kingsholm, the home crowd revelling in what they saw as the perfect postscript to the sorry business of the race row which had marred the sides' previous match five months earlier.
For Andrew, there was no place to hide from the taunts and jibes, not that he would have sought one.
Melville said: 'Coming here to front up took a bit of courage. I'm pleased he came but that's the kind of guy he is.'
Andrew dismissed the hero tag, saying: 'What's the big deal? I've been through far worse.'
After the tear-jerking farewell to Va'aiga Tuigamala and the anxiety behind Andrew's apology to Olivier Azam over the race allegations, Newcastle had nothing left but to play the perfect guests, although Andrew said: 'We didn't turn up.'Reuse content

Throughout February and March, literary journalist, teacher and author Donna Bailey Nurse will be blogging for CBC Books about black Canadian writers and their important works. In her second post, she discusses her family history and some of her early literary discoveries.Here is how my mother's family made their way to Canada. In the mid-1950s the Canadian government began to invite black and Caribbean women to work as domestics. My mother settled in Toronto in 1959, shortly after marrying my father in Kingston, Jamaica. She took a job as a nanny for a Jewish family in Forest Hill. My father followed in 1960, enrolling as a student at the University of Guelph. When I was seven or eight, my mother's mother, Iris Levy, came from England to help care for me and my sister. This was bliss! It meant we no longer had to attend daycare; we could head home after school just like our friends.

If the chief ministers of Gujarat and West Bengal had met after hosting business summits in their respective states, what could they have spoken? (Proceedings at the two summits were in stark contrast to each other and the opposition and media in Bengal mocked the Mamata Banerjee government for the pathetic show at the Bengal Leads organised in Haldia earlier this week). OneIndia imagines a conversation between Gujarat CM Narendra Modi and Banerjee on the issue.
Narendra Modi (NM): Hello Ms Banerjee. Heard about your Bengal Leads, how was it?
Mamata Banerjee (MB): Great Mr Modi. We have done great. Bengal is leading the world. See, how we have changed our state within two years. Can you think of such development?
NM (grins): Really! But I saw a cow moving around at your business summit in some Bengali daily. Were the animals also invited?
MB: Cow! I did not see any cow. There were only investors and businessmen. The cow must have been a CPI(M) one! And this media... it's only making negative publicity. Who asked them to publish photo of a cow? My ministers were there. Party members were there. Why not their photo? I will take action against them.
NM: Okay, okay, please cool down Didi. I understand your problem. But did you get any investment proposal for your state during the summit?
MB: Yes, why not? We already have agarbatti industries. Scrap metal factories are there. We are leading in small-scale industries. What else do we need?
NM: But, I was actually asking about big industries for they generate employment. Agarbatti factories are not going to do that. What is your plan about inviting big corporates? I heard not a single big industrialist attended your summit. Is that true?
MB: I don't care whether the Tatas or the Ambanis come to our state. We can do without them. We will write our own success story.
NM: But how can that be possible without investment? Your state has fallen back all these years and if you do not have any policy or prompt initiative, then how will you register success? It is not that easy Ms Banerjee.
MB: Don't give me advice. I know what to do and what not. You can say all this easily for you have no CPI(M) in your state. You know how they create obstacles in our state? You know how much debt they have left for us to pay? The Centre is not helping us, either.
NM: I am sorry Didi, your points are fully out of place. As far as I know, it was you who had forced the Tatas leave West Bengal and I had invited them to come to our state. And there is no point in blaming others. Opposition will always be there. I am sure you had known about the financial condition of the state at the time of taking over. This is where leadership matters. It is true that in Gujarat, we have a culture that always speaks in favour of industrialisation. But that doesn't mean that I have no opposition.
If you have inherited huge debt from your predecessor and if the Centre is not helping you, then you should try all the more hard to generate resources for your state. I should remind you that the Centre is not a great supporter for me, either. But that doesn't pull us back.
MB: You have so many advantages. You have ports. We have nothing.
NM: This is not true. Every state has its own advantage. Bengal has a strong agricultural basis and a very good infrastructure of education. Why doesn't you capitalise on that? You speak about Ma, Mati and Manush. Why then you stress those words really by doing something for the women's financial development and agricultural growth? You don't have a land policy either. How can you expect industrialists to come to your state if you don't have a clear vision?
MB: We don't take land of the poor. It is not our plan. We are pro-people.
NM: You are actually doing more harm to the common people than good by taking these stands. If you don't take land, the industrialists will show little enthusiasm in investing in your state. The land resources in your state are so fragmented that it is impossible for any investor to buy land of his own. You are actually running away from your responsibility.
MB: Don't tell me all this. We are organising these summits every year, unlike you, who organises Vibrant Gujarat every two years.
NM: So what does that mean? If you do not have a vision, even holding summits every month won't help. I have also heard that you are organising beach festivals like those in Goa. You don't have any infrastructure and you directly aim to become Goa. This is nothing but hollow populist politics that you practise. Why don't you make a team of experts who can guide you? You can't be master in all departments.
MB: I know what is good for the state.
NM: That is a wrong concept. This is an age of speciality. I am never afraid to take valuable insights from experts and I have a team to back all decisions. I take care of the fact that no decision is delayed because of political bottlenecks. But if you try to do all by yourself, things are bound to get delayed and may never materialise at all.
MB: Industrialisation in Bengal is just a matter of time, Mr Modi. I am ready with my action plan.
NM: You sound over-confident. It is indeed not so easy. I thought the way you speak to industrialists, it is too casual and arrogant at times. Light words don't bring industries, they can work at filmfare awards. I suspect you do not have any serious concern for industrialisation in your state.
MB: I don't agree.
NM: That is for you to decide. But the way people are reacting to your initiative for industrialisation, it is clear that you are actually building a house in the air. But anyhow, you were the one who shattered the dream of Buddhadeb Bhattacharya. No wonder, you have changed little even if your role has changed.

I've had some discussions with Guillaume about this. There are some circumstances where having 2 versions of a jar, importing what you export, and loading the jars in the wrong order can cause problems. This is why Guillaume has adopted the servicemix approach. I think this is wrong and that such problems should be avoided by package versioning and scoping or bundle isolation. I don't think rfc 138 is going to provide a very usable solution but it is likely to be the best we can come up with at this point. Anyway I think we should follow everyone else's advice and import what we export. It is really only crucial when a bundle registers some services but I think it is still good practice. thanks david jencks > -- > Ivan

Care/maintenance Of A Marriage (HELP For The Home) by Miles Seaborn
"Help for the Home"
1 Peter 3:1-7, Gen. 23.
A little girl told her mother she had heard the story of
Snow White and came to the place where the prince kissed
Snow White. She awakened from a deep sleep and the
little girl said, "And then, Mother, do you know what
happened?" Mom said, "And they lived happily ever after."
The little girl said, "No, they got married!"
Even though you are married you ought to be happy. Our
homes are a little of the remainder of the Garden of
Eden. They should be one of the most wonderful, precious
places on earth!
ILL. Many couples today have not been married
by the Justice of Peace, but the Secretary of
War, and they need help.
Some people marvel at love at first sight! A bigger miracle
than that is to keep on looking at someone and loving
them. Amen? To love that goes on and on 10,000 sight.
The devil knew that if he can hurt us at home, he can
Hurt us all over. So his objective is to wreck and ruin
Our homes.
Peter illustrates his sermon with a story from the life
of Sarah and Abraham. A significant thing about marriage
of Sarah and Abraham is that it lasted!
ILL. Gen. 23. Abraham wept over his dear dead
wife Sarah who died at 127 years old. Couple
who celebrated their 100th wedding anniversary.
He kneels over the cold clay of her body, remembers
how he courted her, a pretty young bride, wonderful
life together. But now she had traded the Bedouin
tent for an ivory palace. He himself that one day
soon he will finish that pilgrimage for a city whose
builder and ruler is God. He knows, that one day
they will be united. Because death can hide, but
it can not divide and she is but on Christ's other side.
Again, through all there the amazing thing was that they
made it. "Til death do us part." They didn't make it because
they were such wonderful people. No super saints. They
were flesh and blood like ...

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
When I met my ex he had some minor health issues. Shortly they became serious due to obesity. Each month there was an excuse on why he could not pay. I was force to pay household expenses 90% of the time. He manipulated me in to believing that we were a "family unit". My bank found him guilty of fraudulent usage of my ATM. He even made my rental into a hoarder's den. He made me put on his socks, shoes, underwear and sweats daily. There was a clear pattern of abuse, manipulation and bullying. He financed a dump truck for his business, he asked if i would be willing to officially pay for all expenses for 2.5 years in exchange he would do the same and i could buy a new car. He made my house into a hoarders den forcing me to live in the garage for almost 3 years. He owes me ~$150K.
It sounds as if you had an agreement with him and he has breached the agreement. He agreed to support you for 2 and one half years and now refuses to do it and based upon his representations he paid significant funds for your support you can look into fraudulent inducement, recision of contract, breach of contract. The Federal, case touching on many of these issues in California is the Marvin case. If he stole money by and through your AMT hopefully you filed a police report and he was charged and convicted. This would be evidence of his state of mind. You did not mention in your statement, but it is going to be very important as to what witnesses you have to substantiate your allegations.

Thank you, Mr. Kitta for all this information. My PTSD in part has prevented me from returning to this website after I posted my question. Can you please either post or private message me with additional details regarding the Federal Marvin case? I would like to review this case. Regarding a police report, the Santa Clara PD has refused to provide a DV police report. They were hustled by my ex each time he called the police on me. Ha!!! I am not equipped to communicate effectively with the police due to my PTSD issues. For insurance purposes ONLY, the reluctantly provided an "incident" number. I was told that if I attempted to obtain a report again, I would be arrested. I have never been in any trouble with police in my life. Sadly, this experience with the police has forever diminished my view of police. I have witnesses within my immediate family, coworkers, and his parents. I appreciate your help immensely. It has been difficult to wrap my head around the solution to this issue as there has been significant roadblocks since moving out of my old house. The number one issue is that I have been homeless and unemployed since July.
The first thing I want to correct is that the Marvin case is a California case, not a Federal Court case. Apparently, there was a typo. You might remember the actor, Lee Marvin. Your factual situation is most complex and your having disability issues which are interfering with your personal participation. There is no easy road. A lawsuit would have to be filed and appropriate Motions would have to be made to force the police to provide you with all relevant documents, reports, etc. There are many experienced attorneys that do take a case on a contingent fee where they get paid if you win and they get a percentage of the recovery. Without the assistance of effective legal counsel, things are probably not going to go very well for you. I suggest you move quickly. The passage of time never helps the Plaintiff and can only hurt and you also may develop or have statute of limitation problems.
I am so sorry that you have gone through this. Your state is a community property state, please sit down with a local Santa Clara attorney and discuss your rights, you will be protected. Take care.

Agreed. You might also want to look into legal support from legal aid or battered women's centers in your area. There are people who devote their lives to help people in your situation.

Re: PlayStation Plus FAQ
ok so i download games to my vita and leave internet connection are the games still gonna work even tho they cant check with the servers to make sure that i still have an active subscription?
Re: PlayStation Plus FAQ
The games will work until they hit the expiration date, at which time you will need an internet connection so the game can verify that your subscription is still active.
Example ... just making up dates ... you subscribe to PS+ Dec 15, 2012 and have an expiration date of Jan 15, 2013. On Dec 30, 2012 you download a game as part your PS+ subscription. You can play the game fine until Jan 15. On Jan 15 you will get a message that the game has expired. If you renewed your subscription on or before Jan 15, and for some reason the game still shows that it has expired (there is a bug that sometimes causes this to happen on the PS3), your expiration date will update if you have an internet connection. If you do not, you cannot play the game because it shows as expired.
Hope that helps.
Re: PlayStation Plus FAQ
tremendously i have wifi at home so it connects every day i just wanted to make sure that i can take my games with me to work and still be able to play them thanx much
Re: PlayStation Plus FAQ
So I have a question and I apologize if it has already been answered. Is there any way to purchase a game that you got free with PS+ already? Here's my example. The Simpsons Arcade game is on sale right now, I want to buy it at the discount price of $4.90, but I already got the game free from PS+ back when it came out earlier this year. I like the game a lot and I really want it to own and not have to worry about losing it if my PS+ subscription lapses.
Thanks for your help.
Re: PlayStation Plus FAQ
Vincent-Kudo, no, as of right now there is not a way for you to purchase something that was free with PS+ while your subscription is active.
There are two camps. Some will say this is a bug that should be corrected. It would be helpful if a mod would jump in and respond, especially since this came up in the last week or so in another thread. The other camp will basically say "who cares" since you have the game for free and by the time your PS+ subscription runs out the game will probably even be cheaper than any current sales price being offered.
BTW, welcome to the PS Community.
Re: PlayStation Plus FAQ
Ah ... good point and nice correction, which makes it even more silly (stupid) that Sony doesn't let you do it under your PS+ account. Of course I have never wanted to buy anything that I got for free, but I digress ...
jpb - wishing you and yours a Happy New Year.
