Nothing happens unless first a dream
The light shining through the windows of the conservatory reflected merrily from the silverware that was established on the tea table. Draco Malfoy stood with his back to the inhabitants of the room, leaning against the windowpane and sipping his Château Lafitte Rotschild. His gaze wandered over the grounds of his family's manor in the Médoc. It was beautiful, sure, but he couldn't help but miss England. There was something there that touched his core and made him the person he was today. Maybe if his friends could have been here with him, things might have been easier. But both Pansy and Blaise were hiding, brought to secure places by the Order of the Phoenix.
5 years. It had been half a decade since he had last set foot in his homeland. He and both of his parents had snuck out of England on a rainy night, courtesy of Harry James Potter. Draco sighed and let his head rest against the cool glass when suddenly a hard pop made him whirl around, wand drawn and aimed at… Severus? Not relinquishing his own drawn wand, Lucius slowly approached the looming form of the Potions Master.
" Severus" He nodded to his old time friend. " Please forgive me for this… What did you want to be when you were a kid?"
Severus blushed and mumbled a quick "Vampire" before all the wands were dropped and a round of greetings was given. Lucius clapped his friend on the back, Narcissa kissed him on the cheek and hugged him and Draco, even though he was 21 now, threw his arms around his godfather's waist and hugged him tight. It had been too long since he had last seen the dour man. Severus allowed the movement for a short time and then gently pushed the blonde off him. Reclining in a comfortable chair, he accepted the tea that Narcissa handed him and let himself relax in the soft cushions.
He took a deep breath and exhaled it in a single, soft sigh.
" The war is over."
Looking at his friends, he could see the bewilderment on their faces. They had been out of England for so long, cut off from any news of the land overseas. The first 2 years, they still received an owl with the Prophet, but Voldemort had managed to overtake the Ministry and sever all communication with the other magical communities. The Malfoys had known nothing after that; who lived, who died, what was being planned and how their friends and family were faring.
Draco set down his crystal goblet before the pressure of his hand shattered it. " Over? Is… did we … How's Harry?" he stumbled, forgetting the rules of etiquette in favour of gaining information.
Severus pinched his nose and held his teacup to the right of his chair. A small house- elf appeared with a pop and took the China cup from him, to replace it with a tumbler full of brandy. Taking a swig, he locked eyes with his godson.
" Yes, our side won. Surprisingly, there were only severely injured, but no casualties. The Death- Eaters were clearly playing with their prey before they could deliver the final blow. I don't know how Potter did it, nobody does, but we found him in a clearing near the Forbidden Forest. He was unconscious and soaked with blood, but it was not his own and judging from the crystallised state of the Dark Lord's body, it couldn't have been from him too. It's a mystery that no one will ever know the answer too."
He sighed, swirling the amber liquid in his glass and avoiding eye- contact. He dreaded having to tell these people what had happened to Potter, how he was now. But he knew he couldn't escape his responsibility, he was in the company of some fine Slytherins and surely one of them would make the gears start in their head and come with an adequate conclusion.
'Ah yes there it is.' Severus smirked, when he saw Lucius frown, stroke the head of his cane and trace the carved fangs before piercing Severus with his ice- cold eyes.
" If everybody's so keen on knowing the bloody, gruesome details of the Final Battle, why don't they ask Potter himself about it?" He questioned with a sneer marring his fine-looking face, stroking his thumb over Narcissa's clenched fist.
Everybody else would think that Lucius was mocking the Hero, but Severus knew his friend well enough to decipher the thinly veiled concern in his voice, the anxiety of Narcissa's clenched fist and the tenseness of Draco's shoulders and the gnawing on his bottom lip. These people were worried about the boy.
Draco had gone to the green- eyed Gryffindor in the middle of 6th year and pledged his allegiance. Together, the boys had developed a way to prevent the Death- Eaters from entering the school grounds.
But it wasn't to be. Severus Snape had taken the Unbreakable Vow and was compelled to help Draco in the task given to him by their Master. He had begged Narcissa to nullify it after she and Lucius had had a heart to heart with their son. Seeing their son choosing his own path, they had done a quick re- evaluating of their beliefs and secretly joined the Light Side.
No faith but in one's own, they would not make the same mistake twice.
Unfortunately, the terms of a Vow cannot be changed afterwards. Severus had to help the Death Eaters into Hogwarts. But by quickly including the Auror Corps, there had been a nasty surprise waiting for the masked wizards.
Dumbledore though, could not be saved.
It was afterwards, when the Dark Lord and his minions had fled the premises, that the Malfoys had gone with the Potter boy to live at 12 Grimmauld Place.
There, Lucius had taught Harry about the Dark Arts with the help of Severus, working together with Remus to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts. It had not been an easy course of action, as the elder blonde and the young raven held a distinctive amount of distrust against each other, but at the end of the day a sense of respect had grown between the two and they could now bicker good-naturedly for hours. Narcissa helped Harry commit healing spells to memory, laughing with him and just letting him be a boy. She sang for him, played the piano that they had found in a drawing room, tried to order clothes by Owl for him and was by all means ' Molly Weasley'- ing him.
Draco himself focused on developing a better understanding with his Gryffindor antithesis, telling him more about the Wizarding World and Harry in turn made Draco see the wonders of the Muggle one, how they had developed a world without magic but were by no means beneath magical folks.
And then, 3 months after the death of Dumbledore, the Malfoys had fled the country. They were not out of harm's way from either side in this war. The Dark knew they were betrayers, the Light didn't trust them completely.
Harry had begged them to keep themselves safe, to return when it was all over. Narcissa had hugged the boy that she had come to see as a son, Lucius grasped his shoulder and gave it a brief squeeze, almost smiling at him. Draco had given his friend a hand and almost squeaked when Harry had pulled him closer and hugged the life out of him, burying his head in Draco's chest.
" Stay safe" had been the last sentence before they had separated and the Portkey whisked the blondes away. But which one of the two had said it ?
Severus sighed again, letting his elbows rest on his knees and rolling the glass between his long, spidery fingers. He had to tell them, he needed them for this.
" Potter… Harry… is not capable of telling us about that night. He hasn't said a word since he has regained consciousness. It's almost as if he's asleep but for the fact that his eyes are open almost all the time. He responds to nothing and no one." Narcissa gasped and put a delicate hand to her amaranth pink lips, tears sparkling in the powder blue depths of her eyes.
" The poor boy. What do the Healers say? Can't they give him potions or search for hexes, a curse?" She asked, clasping the fingers of Lucius' hand.
" No, the Healers have done everything in their power to help him. The only thing they're capable of is to keep him from dying." He looked up at his female friend, letting her see the hopelessness that shown in his own black eyes. " But they can't make him want to live."
Draco flung himself from the chair he had vacated before, pacing the length of the cherry wood floor. He needed to be there! Maybe he could help, with his training and determination he could surely help his friend, bring him back to him.
" Why tell us this Severus? It's not as if his friends and family will let us help him. According to them, we are nothing of Potter's. We are not family, nor did they ever consider us friends. I know I could help. I trained hard these past years and have my Healer's diploma but it but it's not as if they'd let me lay a hand on their Hero if all other Healers failed already!" Draco ranted.
" But you are a natural Occlumens and Legilimens Draco! You have specialised in the art of mind- diving, discerning all the signs and symbol in a person's mind and being able to separate your own psyche from theirs and stay sane. I tried, Merlin knows I did, but the stubborn Gryffindor won't let me inside his head!"
Here he flung his glass into the stones of the fireside. He watched the droplets of the alcoholic beverage drip down the bricks before it was cleaned away with the glass. Raking his hands through the greasy strands of his coal- black hair, he let out a frustrated growl.
" Something inside there doesn't trust me. He lost all trust in anybody who's ever held information from him or who manipulated him to fulfil his 'destiny'. We locked him away, coddled him when we should've seen him for the treasure he is; we putted him on a pedestal, Merlin knows the masses still do, when our concern should've been to keep him safe and train him; we expect too much and too little from him. Even now, when he's fulfilled the prophecy. We close our eyes and play pretend. And all the while everybody ignores the blatant truth: he's only in Gryffindor because he's a Slytherin with no sense of self-preservation."
"I see things in there, feel emotions. I, too, played a part in this puppet play… I cannot reach his core. Only a select few would ever be able to do that and that's not even the point here. What I need from you is to touch his heart! We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. "
He blushed slightly when delivering that last line, thinking it beyond sappy but it was the truth. Draco was a natural and had developed the methods on its own while being in exile. Severus was at a loss here. He was extremely skilled in protecting his own mind from intruders but had never quite learned to subtly penetrate another's defences. He tore through, ripping the fortifications of the mind to shreds and taking what he wanted to see. Potter had taken the brunt of his incapability during their Occlumency lessons, but Severus hadn't wanted to come clean to his absence of refinement.
" No matter what the Weasleys may think, or all the other parts of Potter's insane fan club, you are almost family to him. You never expected anything of him, other than to be who he was. You didn't adore him, or hero- worship. Draco sure made it hard on the boy, but he also challenged him and made him use his every wit to stand up against a true Slytherin's mind… He needs you, all of you, to be there and bring him back."
It was silent in the large room. The light that not even an hour before had merrily danced around the room, now seemed artificial and cold. The birds sung a mocking tune, and it was perhaps a bit darker than before. Lucius stood, shook out his outer robes and looked at his family.
" When do we leave?"

How do I advise clients to care for their nails that were damaged by improper drill use?
Advise these clients to start on a natural nail care regimen. Start by having them visit you once a week to receive a manicure so you can personally monitor the progress of their nails. Use gentle care when servicing the damaged nails and send them home with instructions and products for home maintenance between appointments.
Put them on a nightly routine of massaging in a quality cuticle oil and/or cream. Also have them apply a gentle nail strengthening treatment or even just a fast-drying top coat daily or every other day. The frequent application of a strengthener or top coat will keep your clients more aware of the condition of their nails as well as giving the nails some extra strength and durability. The cuticle oil will condition both their nails and cuticles to help bring them back to good health.Advise them to always keep color polish on their nails, even if it is a very light shade. The polish will act as a type of "armor" for their nails and protect them in their fragile state. — Patricia Yankee Williams, second runner-up in NAILS' 2003 AVAs in the Nail Technician of the Year category

Bone Turnover Markers for the Diagnosis and Management of Osteoporosis and Diseases Associated with High Bone Turnover
Bone turnover markers are biochemical markers of either bone formation or bone resorption. Commercially available tests are available to assess some of these markers in urine and/or serum by high performance liquid chromatography or immunoassay. Assessment of bone turnover markers is proposed to supplement bone mineral density (BMD) measurement in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and to aid in treatment decisions. Bone turnover markers could also potentially be used to evaluate treatment effectiveness before changes in BMD can be observed.
After cessation of growth, bone is in a constant state of remodeling (or turnover), with initial absorption of bone by osteoclasts followed by deposition of new bone matrix by osteoblasts. This constant bone turnover is critical to the overall health of the bone, by repairing microfractures and remodeling the bony architecture in response to stress. Normally, the action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is balanced, but bone loss occurs if the 2 processes become uncoupled. Bone turnover markers can be categorized as bone-formation markers or bone-resorption markers and can be identified in serum and/or urine. The table below summarizes the various bone turnover markers.
There is interest in the use of bone turnover markers to evaluate age-related osteoporosis, a condition characterized by slow, prolonged bone loss, resulting in an increased risk of fractures at the hip, spine, or wrist. Currently, fracture risk is primarily based on measurements of BMD in conjunction with other genetic and environmental factors, such as family history of osteoporosis, history of smoking, and weight. It is thought that the level of bone-turnover markers may also predict fracture risk, possibly through a different mechanism than that associated with BMD. However, it must be emphasized that the presence of bone turnover markers in the serum or urine is not necessarily related to bone loss. For example, even if bone turnover is high, if resorption is balanced with formation, there will be no net bone loss. Bone loss will only occur if resorption exceeds formation. Therefore, bone turnover markers have been primarily studied as an adjunct, not an alternative, to measurements of BMD to estimate fracture risk and document the need for preventive or therapeutic strategies for osteoporosis.
In addition, bone turnover markers might provide a more immediate assessment of treatment response and predict change in BMD in response to treatment. Treatment-related changes in BMD occur very slowly. This fact, coupled with the precision of BMD technologies, suggested that clinically significant changes in BMD could not be reliably detected until at least 2 years. In contrast, changes in bone turnover markers could be anticipated after 3 months of therapy.
Bone turnover markers have also been researched as markers of diseases associated with markedly high levels of bone turnover, such as Paget's disease, primary hyperparathyroidism, and renal osteodystrophy.
Several tests for bone turnover markers have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) using the 510(k) process:
1995: Pyrilinks® test (Metra Biosystems) measures collagen Type 1 cross-link, pyridinium

Londoners, daytrippers and tourists who make use of the capital's black taxis will be familiar with a tightening in the throat and sweaty palms when it comes to paying what often appears to be an astronomical fare. This is set to get worse from today as taxi fares in the capital defy the pay freezes in place elsewhere, and rise by 2.3%.
The average cost of hailing a black cab will increase to £10.39 during the day and £14.15 at night, according to Transport for London (TFL). The fare rise, the lowest annual increase since 2004, aims to take into account the rise in average national earnings and will also help drivers cover rising operating costs, which include increases to insurance and fuel costs, it said. Earlier this week, petrol prices rose to an average of £1.20 a litre, the highest on record.
The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "The capital is blessed with wonderful cabbies and we've deliberated long and hard to come up with an increase we think is fair to everyone during these tough economic times."
Bob Oddy, general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers' Association, said: "We welcome this small but important increase. Like everyone else, London's cabbies continue to face significant challenges."
While taxis drivers might breath a sigh of relief at the rise, passengers are likely to be less impressed. Anyone making a journey of more than a few miles will be used to paying substantially more than the average price quoted by TFL.
Before today's rise is taken into account, to travel six miles in the capital cost between £17 and £33, depending on the time of day and how long the journey takes. Meanwhile, a journey between Heathrow and central London typically cost between £40 and £75, though delays or heavy traffic can make this higher.
A separate scheme due to start this autumn will see the cost of a taxi from central London to elsewhere in the capital rise to up to £50. The "golden fares" scheme, devised by Westminster council, will operate from a taxi rank in Leicester Square on Friday and Saturday nights and will require passengers to pay before they get in the taxi.
Minimum rates will start at £20 for up to three miles and will rise to £30 for seven-mile trips. Ten-mile journeys will cost £40, while journeys up to 12 miles will cost £50.
However, price increases are unlikely to deter people from taking the capital's black cabs. Last year the vehicles were voted the best taxis in the world in a survey for the website Hotels.com, despite also being voted the most expensive. London cabbies, who can spend up to four years studying the Knowledge, the infamous in-depth study of a number of pre-set London street routes, were voted the world's friendliest and knowledgeable taxi drivers.

Caitlin: Long-Term MistakeMature
He was late. As usual.
"Can I get you anything?" The waiter was cute. I looked up at him with a smile, bathing in his looks. He was Italian, tanned and drop dead gorgeous. Shame about the ring on his finger. I dropped the smile and ordered a coffee, returning my gaze to the door.
"Sorry I'm late. Traffic." Bailey apologised as he dashed across the floor of the café, sitting opposite me with a cute smile. I blamed that smile. I could still smell the smoke on him so I subtly moved my chair backwards.
"You're always late, Bailey. I'm used to it now." I think I sounded annoyed, which was fair enough because I was slightly - but not at Bai. It was that waiter. Bloody marriage.
"What was it you wanted Cait?" He was waving to a waiter as he did, looking like he owned the place. He ordered and cast his gaze over the other occupants. I sat there, waiting for him to look at me again.
"Found yourself someone else yet? Or are you still looking? Want another few minutes?" That time I definitely sounded annoyed.
"Yep. She's at my place." He said without a care in the world. "Have you?"
He didn't get it, did he? Here I was, stuck in a rut because of him and he was having a casual conversation about my love life. My non-existent love life.
"No. Obviously." Then I watched the penny drop as his face fell when he realised how stupid he had been.
"How is she?" He asked. I could see the care coming back to his face - I hadn't seen that in a long time.
"She's fine. No thanks to you." I resented Bai for what he had done to me; he had ruined my life. The worst thing was that part of me still thought he cared about me, he still loved me. That was just stupid though. He had his bimbo back at his place - that's probably about as much love as he can take.
"Do you want money?" He looked serious and it scared me slightly. When I had told him the first time, he hadn't looked serious or happy or sad - in fact he hadn't shown any emotion - he had just ran.
"Yes. But it isn't just that." I knew that I could get a cheque out of him, even before we had started talking so when he pulled his chequebook out, I smiled to myself. "As much as you can spare."
He wrote down a rather large number that made me feel better all over - so money can't make you happy but it will make you feel less stressed.
"So what else do you want?" He asked and I relished hearing the reluctance and frustration in his voice.
"It isn't something that I want."
And with that, I held back a little chuckle as I saw the happiness drain from his face.
"Your daughter wants to spend some time with you."

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak believes Apple should pay at least 50 percent tax.
Wozniak started Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976, and was the chief developer of the hugely influential Apple I and Apple II computers.
He left the company back in the mid-1980s, but has been outspoken about its products and performance - for good and for bad - ever since.
Speaking to the BBC at the Business Rocks technology conference in Manchester recently, Wozniak had his say on the whole Apple tax affair.
After revealing that "Steve Jobs started Apple for money" while he himself "had no interest in personal money," Wozniak was asked about the furore that surrounded Apple's cosy tax agreement with the Republic of Ireland in recent years.
"I don't like the idea that Apple might be unfair - not being taxed the way I do as a person," he said
Having revealed that he himself paid "over 50 percent" of everything he earned in tax, Wozniak was asked if he believed Apple should pay that same rate.
"Every company in the world should," he replied.
Related: 9.7-inch iPad Pro review
Given that Apple has built up overseas cash reserves of around $200 billion (£1.39 billion), that would be some payment if enforced.
"On the other hand," Wozniak conceded in defence of his old company, "I look back any company that is a public company, its shareholders are going to force it to be as profitable as possible and that means financial people studying all the laws of the world and figuring out all the schemes that work that are technically legal. They're technically legal and it bothers me and I would not live my life that way."

The Oscar-winning actress is worried that work on the 20-mile long Thames Tunnel will ruin her local park, close to her £2 million Wapping home.
Thames Water plans to construct the £3.6 billion tunnel to collect sewage discharge triggered by rainfall.
The company says 39 million tonnes of untreated sewage overflows into the river each year and the Victorian sewer system cannot cope.
But campaigners fear King Edward Memorial Park will become "a building site" for up to seven years. Possible works include drilling a sewer access shaft through the park or "concreting over" the grass to run lorries and cranes to the foreshore.
Dame Helen said: "I give my full support to the SaveKEMP campaign. As a local resident I am aware how little green space there is in our area and hope that the beautiful King Edward VII Memorial Park Green continues to be a garden space for the many local people, who have nowhere else to enjoy a garden environment."
The Prime Suspect star joins about 4,000 Londoners who have signed a petition to save the park.
Campaigners want the works relocated to a nearby brownfield site. The plans are also opposed by Tower Hamlets council. Emma Dunsire, vice chairwoman of the SaveKEMP campaign, said: "Dame Helen has been very, very sweet to us. Even though she was so busy with the Oscars she took time to read our letters and get back to us."
Tomorrow, protesters will march across Tower Bridge to City Hall to present their petition to the London Assembly. They were offered a glimmer of hope last month when it was announced a drilling shaft on the other side of the river could be moved from a park to scrubland nearby.
Plans for shafts and access points to build the tunnel have run into opposition along its route including a proposed sewer entrance in Fulham.
A Thames Water spokesman said: "We are listening to people's feedback on every site and looking at alternative sites which may be more suitable.
"No final decisions have been made. We will present our updated plans for further public consultation this autumn."

Mr. WOMACK. I appreciate the leadership of our subcommittee chair, whom I will recognize and yield some time to in just a moment.
Obviously, we are spending more than we make. I don't know how many times we have to articulate the financial condition of our country: that we are borrowing over 40 cents on the dollar for everything we spend. The country is in a financial crisis, and you've got Members on this side of the aisle who are doing everything they can to bring fiscal sanity back to the table and to put America on a different path.
I am amused at how many times we continue to be portrayed as being insensitive to women, infants and children, to older folks, and how so many half-truths are being spoken about the things that this conference is trying to do in order to right America's financial ship.
Suffice it to say that we have much work to do, and it is our intent to do it in a way that is rational and feasible and brings this country back to fiscal order and can take away that cloud of uncertainty that continues to hover over the job creators in this country, the threat of higher taxes, the tremendous deficit and debt, the overregulation that is keeping those entrepreneurs parked on the sideline for fear of higher costs to job expansion and higher energy prices. On and on and on, the challenges facing this country are many and we have much work to do.
At this time, I would like to yield to the distinguished chairman of the subcommittee, the gentleman from Georgia.

The water pump keeps the engine alive. Circulating coolant goes all around the cylinders of the engine and takes away heat, which is expelled from the engine compartment through the radiator.
Things You'll Need
- Open or box end wrenches
- Ratchet wrench set with universal joint
- Assorted screwdrivers
- Drain pan
- Gasket scraper
- Wire brush
- Water pump and gasket
- Gasket sealer
- New hose clamps
Remove the Old Water Pump
Drain the water or coolant into the drain pan by removing the drain plug on the radiator with the ratchet or open end wrench. You may have to remove the lower radiator hose also. If the coolant is dirty or over two years old, take it to an environmentally safe disposal area. Replace the plug and the lower radiator hose.
Remove the main belt by applying opposing force to the belt tensioner.
Take out the water pump pulley bolts with a wrench. If the bolts stick, use a lubricant.
Take out the pulley.
Take out the water pump bolts. Remove the water pump and the old gasket.
Clean the gasket surfaces with the gasket scraper.
Install the New Water Pump
Install the new gasket following instructions from the manufacturer. Some gaskets may require a sealing gel or adhesive.
Put the new water pump in place carefully so the gasket isn't damaged.
Finger-tighten the main bolts. Tighten the bolts in two stages according to the torque instructions included with the water pump.
Install the main drive belt. Apply the same force as before to loosen the belt tensioner then move the belt into position.
Replace the coolant and check for leaking coolant.

Meita: Crying
I can't believe Arc had said that there is always a choice, it's not kill or be killed. I sigh and hear light sobs escape my lips. The door opens slightly and I look up to see Nero peering in.
I wipe the tears from my face as he closes the door and come in to sit down.
"I heard it was Renon" he mutters. I nod. Usually I would be calmed by Nero's presence but my anger seemed to be rising and rising.
"You want to talk or would you rather I leave?" he asks. I lean my head on his shoulder and feel his arm wrap round me.
"The party's still going you know" he whispers through my hair. I look up and him smiling.
"Let's go have a dance then" I say, jumping up and pulling him along with me out the door. When we get downstairs he pulls me into a hug and we just dance slowly.

Aston Villa 2-2 Forest
A late goal from Henri Lansbury earned Nottingham Forest a share of the spoils in a thrilling Midlands derby against Aston Villa at Villa Park this afternoon.
A stunning strike from Apostolos Vellios had put The Reds in front 12 minutes into the second half but Robert di Matteo's side turned the game on its head and took the lead through goals from Ross McCormack and Rudy Gestede.
But Forest weren't to be denied something from the contest as Lansbury equalised with three minutes to play and, despite a red card for Hildeberto Pereira, they were able to take a hard-earned point back to Nottingham.
Philippe Montanier made four changes from the side that beat Leeds United before the international break. Vladimir Stojkovic, Danny Fox, Mustapha Carayol and Matty Cash came into the side in place of Stephen Henderson, Hildeberto Pereira, Chris Cohen and Oliver Burke. New signings Nicolao Dumitru and Lica were named among the substitutes.
Villa started brightly with Jack Grealish in particular looking dangerous in and around the Forest penalty area. The home side were restricted to long-range efforts though and on 18 minutes it was Jordan Ayew who stepped up but saw his well-struck free-kick clear the crossbar.
The hosts continued to dominate and nearly found a breakthrough on 33 minutes after good work by Ayew. He found Jonathan Kodjia on the right-hand side and the former Bristol City man sent it a cross for McCormack at the far post. The summer signing from Fulham beat Lichaj to the ball but saw his effort rebound off the post.
In the closing five minutes of the first half Villa continued to create opportunities to go in front. Ayew was a constant threat and after he saw and effort go high and wide, he nearly turned provider by finding Kodjia at the back post. The tall striker rose above the Forest defence and directed a header low towards the bottom corner only to see debutant Stojkovic get down well to palm away.
Forest had offered little going forward until Vellios put them in front on 57 minutes. Carayol picked up the ball on the right, found Lansbury in the middle and he squared it to Vellios. The Greek international found some space and rifled a shot past substitute goalkeeper Mark Bunn from 25 yards out into the top corner. It was The Reds' first attempt at goal and a first goal of the season for Vellios.
Despite Forest taking the lead the hosts still dominated possession and were creating chances with every attack. They were finally rewarded for their dominance on 72 minutes when McCormack levelled the scores.
It was good work from Ayew once more as he skipped past the challenges of Kasami and Lichaj and found McCormack in the penalty area. The striker, who had missed a golden opportunity to put Villa in front earlier on, calmly passed the ball into the Forest net.
Forest were rocking and were behind two minutes later. Ayew was the creator once again as he crossed for substitute Gestede and the former Blackburn turned well and finished superbly beyond the dive of Stojkovic.
Montanier's men showed exceptional character and fighting spirit to come from behind and level with three minutes to go. Pereira, who had come on to replace Thomas Lam, went on a mazy run through the Villa defence but, as he was challenged, the ball fell kindly for Lansbury to send a smart finish into the net.
Pereira, who had already been booked earlier in the half, was harshly shown a second yellow for his part in the celebrations but it wasn't to make any difference to the final outcome as Forest took a highly-creditable point from Villa Park.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: ABOUT US: My name is Elvira Green. We are Proud Owners of 2 units at this complex. WE own 3 and 4 Bedroom Units. We are New Construction just recently completed two years ago. Having purchased our condos pre-construction, we were able to secure our condos at Prime location at the Heart of the complex!! Pool front location by Children's and Adult pool, Clubhouse, Gym, Outdoor Lounge area, Game Room & Internet café. Also, we take our renter review and suggestions seriously! Always adding extras to our unit to accommodate our renter's request. Our most recent is adding Flatscreen TVs to 3 of the 4 Available Bedrooms for all 3 of our condos. Other units in the complex only have Flat screens in the Master bedroom, we decided it was needed in at least 3 of the Bedrooms. Our condo has it all! 4 bedrooms! Pool Front clubhouse Location, and all the Extra perks you would want for your family! We pride our selves in making you vacation as smooth and joyful as possible...from booking, to answering questions promptly, and of course to provide you a luxury, resort style condo that your family will love and create cherished memories from!
Why the Owner Chose Davenport, FL, USA:
Having 2 wonderful Children who love Disney, vacationing in the sun, and spending hours by the Pool. The complex had it all. It gave my husband and I the resort like flare we were looking for and yet still had everything my children would need in terms of all their enjoyment. We had seen condos that had been worn from years of renting. So we knew after viewing those condos that we wanted a Brand new condo, which is why we choose pre-construction. And we wanted quality, which is seen through our furnishings and Granite. And of course location with a view. Which pre construction allowed us first choice so we are at the heart of the complex. Having Disney 8 miles away is perfect. Disney does not overwhelm us but we know we are only minutes away from the place our children love best!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
We offer you the BEST of both both worlds in terms of staying in a Luxury Mediterranean resort style condo and achieving that "getaway" experience while still having Disney close at hand to satisfy your child's expectations. It suites both the parent and the children in terms of enjoyment and fun!

Fiddler on the Bacon and Other Bacon-Filled Movie Titles
A popular pig product is generating heavy treyf-ic on Twitter.
For reasons JCarrot has not yet determined, one of today's trending topics on the social media site is #ReplaceMovieNamesWithBacon. The game is fairly self-explanatory: Twitter users suggest new names for well-known movies, having switched one of the key words with "bacon." Some sample tweets: "No Bacon for Old Men" (not bad, at least as medical advice), "Gone With the Bacon" and "There Will Be Bacon." Harry Potter movies seem to be an especially popular source of inspiration, with suggestions including "Harry Potter and the Half-Bacon Prince," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Bacon" and more.
We tried mixing this trend with Jewish themed movies and here's what we came up with:
Fiddler on the Bacon
The Bacon Commandments
Kissing Jessica Bacon
Meet the Bacon
You Don't Mess With the Bacon
Why this particular topic has lit up the Twittersphere, we can only guess. But we look forward to the day when kosher-food movies become their own trending topic. We've already got some ideas: "Lox, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," "All the President's Manischewitz" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Challahs."

How to Choose a Translation for All Its WorthA Guide to Understanding and Using Bible Versions
By Gordon D. Fee Mark L. Strauss
ZONDERVANCopyright © 2007 Gordon D. Fee and Mark L. Strauss
All right reserved.
Chapter OneThe Need for Translation
Many years ago a much-admired teacher of Greek stood before her first-year Greek class. With uncharacteristic vigor, she held up her Greek New Testament and said forcefully, "This is the New Testament; everything else is a translation." While that statement itself needs some qualification (see chap. 8 below), the fact that it is still remembered fifty-plus years later by a student in that class says something about the impact that moment had in his own understanding of the Bible. For the first time, and as yet without the tools to do much about it, he was confronted both with the significance of the Greek New Testament and with the need for a careful rendering of the Greek into truly equivalent-and meaningful-English. And at that point in time he hadn't even attended his first Hebrew (or Aramaic) class! Since the majority of people who read this book will not know the biblical languages, our aim is to help readers of the Bible to understand the why, the what, and the how of translating the Bible into English. It will beclear in the pages that follow (esp. chap. 2) that we think the best of all worlds is to be found in a translation that aims to be accurate regarding meaning, while using language that is normal English. Nonetheless, our goal is not to tell the reader which translation to use; in the end, that is a matter of personal choice. And while we think that everyone should have a primary translation of choice, we hope also, in light of the richness of available options, to encourage the frequent use of more than one translation as an enriching form of Bible study.
The Why of Bible Translation
The question of "why biblical translation" seems so self-evident that one might legitimately ask "why talk about why?" The first answer, of course, is the theological one. Along with the large number of believers who consider themselves evangelicals, the authors of this book share the conviction that the Bible is God's Word-his message to human beings. So why a book about translating Scripture into English? Precisely because we believe so strongly that Scripture is God's Word.
But we also believe that God in his grace has given us his Word in very real historical contexts, and in none of those contexts was English the language of divine communication. After all, when Scripture was first given, English did not yet exist as a language. The divine Word rather came to us primarily in two ancient languages-Hebrew (with some Aramaic) and Greek, primarily "Koine" Greek. The latter was not a grandiose language of the elite, but "common" Greek, the language of everyday life in the first-century Roman world.
Although modern Hebrew and Greek are descendants of these languages, the reality is that the languages spoken in ancient Israel and in the first Christian century are not the same languages spoken today. For contemporary Israelis and Greeks, reading the Bible in their original languages is like our reading the English of its early writers, such as the fourteenth-century Chaucer. We recognize many of the words, but many we do not, and the grammar is especially strange to our ears.
The third answer to "why do we need biblical translation" lies with a reality that might seem obvious to all, but which is often misunderstood. This is the reality that languages really do differ from one another-even cognate languages (i.e., "related" languages such as Spanish and Italian, or German and Dutch). The task of translation is to transfer the meaning of words and sentences from one language (the original or source language = the language of the text being translated) into meaningful words and sentences of a second language (known as the receptor or target language), which in our case is English. At issue ultimately is the need to be faithful to both languages-that is, to reproduce faithfully the meaning of the original text, but to do so with language that is comprehensible, clear, and natural.
As we will see, this means that a simple "word-for-word" transfer from one language to the other is inadequate. If someone were to translate the French phrase petit déjeuner into "word-for-word" English, they would say "little lunch"; but the phrase actually means "breakfast." Similarly, a pomme de terre in French is not an "apple of earth," as a literal translation would suggest, but a "potato." Since no one would think of translating word-for-word in these cases, neither should they imagine that one can simply put English words above the Hebrew words in the Old Testament or the Greek words in the New, and have anything that is meaningful in the receptor language. After all, the majority of words do not have "meaning" on their own, but only in the context of other words.
One might try in this case, as one of the authors has done regularly in introductory classes, to present the word "bear" to a group of students and ask them what it "means." In response one gets a large number of "meanings" for the word (large furry animal, to give birth, to carry, to endure, to put up with, etc.), but never the meaning that was actually in the mind of the professor. For he and his family were from the American west coast and were now living in New England. They had asked a service station attendant for directions to a high school gym in a neighboring town so they could watch their son play basketball. "Go down this (winding) street," we were told, "and when you come to the tree, bear right." Although context gave us a fairly good idea of what was intended by the word, this was a usage we had never before encountered.
In other words, knowing "words" is simply not enough; and anyone who uses an "interlinear Bible," where a corresponding English word sits above the Greek word, is by definition not using a translation, but is using a "crib" that can have some interesting-and, frankly, some unfortunate-results.
Thus the why of biblical translation is self-evident. The Bible is God's Word, given in human words at specific times in history. But the majority of English-speaking people do not know Hebrew or Greek. To read and understand the Bible they need the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words and sentences of the Bible to be transferred into meaningful and equivalent English words and sentences.
The What of Bible Translation
The ultimate concern of translation is to put a Hebrew or Greek sentence into meaningful English that is equivalent to its meaning in Hebrew or Greek. That is, the goal of good translation is English, not Greeklish (or Biblish). Biblish results when the translator simply replaces Hebrew or Greek words with English ones, without sufficient concern for natural or idiomatic English. For example, the very literal American Standard Version (ASV) translates Jesus' words in Mark 4:30 as, "How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth?" This is almost a word-for-word translation, but it is unnatural English. No normal English speaker would say, "In what parable shall we set it forth?" The TNIV translates, "What parable shall we use to describe it?" The formal structure of the Greek must be changed to reproduce normal, idiomatic English.
At issue, therefore, in a good translation is where one puts the emphasis: (1) on imitating as closely as possible the words and grammar of the Hebrew or Greek text, or (2) on producing idiomatic, natural-sounding English. Or is there some balance between these two? In the next chapter we will introduce technical terms for, and a fuller explanation of, these approaches to translation.
While we believe that there is a place for different translation theories or approaches, we think the best translation into English is one where the translators have tried to be truly faithful to both languages-the source language and the receptor language. In any case, the task of translating into English requires expertise in both languages, since the translator must first comprehend how the biblical text would have been understood by its original readers, and must then determine how best to communicate this message to those whose first language is English. At the same time, since English is now the most commonly known second language throughout the world, at issue also must be how well nonnative English speakers will be able to understand and use the translation. Some of the versions we will examine in this book were developed especially for remedial readers or those with limited English-language skills.
The How of Biblical Translation
The how question concerns the manner in which translators go about their task. Here several issues come to the fore. First, has the translation been done by a committee or by a single individual? While some translations by individuals have found a permanent place on our shelves (the Living Bible being a case in point), there is a kind of corrective that comes from work by a committee that tends to produce a better final product.
Second, if the translation was produced by a committee, what kind of representation did the committee have? Was there a broad enough diversity of denominational and theological backgrounds so that pet points of view seldom won the day? Did the committee have representation of both men and women? Was there a broad range of ages and life experiences? Did the committee have members who were recognized experts in each of the biblical languages and in the matters of textual criticism regarding the transmission of both the Hebrew and Greek Bible? Were there English stylists on the committee who could distinguish truly natural English from archaic language?
Third, if translation decisions were made by a committee, what was the process of deciding between competing points of view? Was the choice made by simple majority, or did it require something closer to a two thirds or three-quarters majority in order to become part of the final version of the translation?
While the majority of readers of this book will not have easy access to the answers to these questions, most modern versions have a preface that gives some of the information needed. It is good to read these prefaces, so as to have a general idea of both the makeup of the committee and of the translational theory followed.
We should note at the end of this introductory chapter that in recent years there has emerged a great deal of debate over which of these kinds of translation has the greater value-or in some cases, which is more "faithful" to the inspired text. But "faithful" in this case is, as with "beauty," often in the eye of the beholder. While we are convinced that a translation based on "functional equivalence" is the best way to be fair to both the original and receptor languages, we are also aware that at issue ultimately is which version communicates God's eternal Word in language that is accessible to the majority of English-speaking people. In this regard, almost all of them do. But some do so for certain readers more adequately than others. Related to this is the need for the translation to "read well in church."
While the authors of this book think the greater overall value lies with a translation that attempts to be faithful both to the biblical languages and to English, our ultimate goal is not to convince others of this. Rather, we hope to help readers understand the how and the what that goes into any good translation of the Bible.
In the chapters that follow, we will take up the issues of the what and how of biblical translation, spelling out in more detail why and how certain kinds of translations differ from others. We will also indicate the benefits and limitations of each type of translation. We then offer examples of the kinds of issues that all translators must face in order to render into both accurate and understandable English something that was originally expressed in Hebrew or Greek.
