Rising star Sanjay Dwivedi once ran errands in his family's hotel in south India; having risen through the ranks at the Michelin-starred Zaika, he now runs the kitchens at Deya. The glamorous setting - cool cocktails meet rococo ceiling - is deceptive when it comes to the pricing. The vegetarian tasting menu costs £22, for example, or £35 with matching wines. Dwivedi's cooking style is subtle and fragranced; just right for the extensive cellar.
Old India
34 St Nicholas Street, Bristol (0117 922 1136)
The dark wood panelling and vaulted air space of the former Bristol stock exchange are well suited to the lofty ambitions of Bristol's grandest Indian. A mini-temple houses the bar; cane furniture lends a colonial feel and the warm, spicy aroma of regional cooking alerts you to the authenticity of the cooking. Menus change regularly, but the aubergine dish Bagar-e-Bagun, with its sauce of tamarind, peanut, chillies, coconut and yogurt is a local favourite which is never taken off. Average spend? Around £20.
James Street, Birmingham (0121 212 3664)
It's been called a vegetarian's paradise, but chic Indian eatery Lasan also caters to rampant omnivores with its exotic fish and meat dishes, such as black bream in malabari sauce and duck on fine bean curry. Entry to the pared-down dining room, with its cream walls and sculptural chairs is through a cavernous bar on St Paul's Square. Staff and customers tend to be lean, keen and groovy.

1. I will definitely shop there again
By Daniel from Georgia on Oct 13, 2010
I have ordered all the parts to build my first computer here. Great prices, fast shipping, and a user friendly web site made planning and buying my system a breeze. All the correct parts arrived when they were supposed to. When FedEx ruined several pieces during the delivery process, brilliantstore's customer service department bent over backwards to help me replace them at no extra cost to me. A replacement also came damaged by FedEx and they shipped THAT replacement to me overnight with no shipping charge. As you can tell, I'm impressed with them and their customer service department. (NOT FedEx!!) I will definitely shop there again and recommend them to my fellow "geeks".
2. Really Excellent Customer Service
By Deshawn from South Carolina on Aug 11, 2010
Shopping through this seller saved me $120 and I was kept completely informed throughout the ordering/shipping process. When I sent them positive feedback expressing my satisfaction, they sent me a few free gifts to express their gratitude. I was very impressed with the service and am already a repeat customer

9 cell battery, I dont need to really say more. Works great!
4. Flaw but Good Service
By Louis from Montana on Feb 27, 2009
The package box was partially broken when arrived. The batteries were in good condition. The one battery was missing. Called the customer service - she was very friendly and this battery arrived in a couple of days. Overall, it has excellent Service and Shipping as two batteries out of five totally arrive DOA. Customer service was excellent and replacement batteries arrived overnight. By the way, I think the ability to track the order status would be beneficial as opposed to just getting the email from the shipping company. Just a suggestion. Thank you for this.

Get the Clarets newsletter
17:45 4th February 2012
A stunning goal from Jay Rodriguez four minutes from time raised the temperature at a frozen Turf Moor as the Clarets left it late to avoid a sixth home defeat of the season.
The Clarets' top-six hopes were put on ice, for the time being at least, as they struggled to cancel out Paul Taylor's early goal in blizzard-like conditions.
But a storming second-half fightback finally brought them some reward thanks to that man Rodriguez.
The striker is in the form of his life and after striking twice in mid-week to fell Forest, did it again to move to 17 for the season.
This time the former England under-21 international did almost all the hard work himself to produce a magnificent solo effort and make it five goals in five games.
And while the Clarets ultimately paid the price for a sloppy start, their determination not to finish empty-handed at least earned them a point towards what could still be a play-off total in three months' time.
Touch of class as Jay-Rod makes it 1-1
After scoring early in winning at Nottingham Forest in mid-week to put the play-off places within touching distance, the Clarets almost did it again through Charlie Austin, who scuffed a shot wide at the second attempt after a long throw-in from Ben Mee had dropped for him eight yards out.
But that's where the similarities ended in a first half which was as poor as anything Burnley had produced since launching their winning streak back in November.
Peterborough had been one of the teams to capitalise on the Clarets' early season uncertainty with a 2-1 win at London Road and they belied their recent poor form with an impressive display that could have yielded more than a one-goal lead by the break.
Burnley's defence looked nothing like the rock-solid unit that had kept six clean sheets in their previous seven games as they were undone after 12 minutes.
Austin had just headed at Joe Lewis at the other end when a long clearance from the Posh keeper was flicked on for Taylor to pounce on hesitation from Ben Mee and rifle a shot past Lee Grant.
Paul Taylor puts Posh in front
That was far from a flash in the pan as Peterborough cut through almost at will and when David Edgar and Michael Duff got in each other's way, David Ball skipped through to hit a low shot against the inside of a post.
The lively George Boyd also flashed an effort wide when he should have done better after Tommy Rowe had weaved his way into the penalty area.
And in freezing conditions, Burnley's response was invariably laboured. Ross Wallace saw a shot rear up awkwardly for Lewis and bounce off the keeper who was doubtless relieved to see Mee direct a shot just wide as he looked to make amends for his earlier mistake.
But the keeper's only real save of the half was a close-range parry to keep out an Austin header as Burnley at last strung together a few passes and gave Kieran Trippier the chance to deliver a typically inviting cross.
Charlie Austin goes close in the first half
And the improvement continued after the break as the Clarets, now playing in a snow storm, wound it up in search of an equaliser.
Rodriguez was invariably the main threat as he worked space around the edge of the penalty area for a couple of goal-bound efforts, although it was set-pieces that remained the most likely source of a goal.
Josh McQuoid failed to connect cleanly from a Wallace free-kick and then when Trippier swung over another one Chris McCann headed over from in front of goal.
The Clarets' tried and tested corner routine almost let in Rodriguez after his inital shot had been deflected wide and with 20 minutes to go Burnley were virtually camped around the Peterborough penalty area as the blizzard finally abated.
Eddie Howe sent on Keith Treacy to try and save the day and the winger quickly got behind the visitors' defence to pull another ball across the face of goal.
Amid growing frustration the visitors looked to have weathered the storm and got a slice of luck with five minutes to go when full-back Mark Little looked to block a Wallace shot with his raised hands.
Chris McCann drives the Clarets forward
But the Clarets kept going and after McCann had shot over and Austin had forced Lewis to save, Rodriguez produced his piece of magic to make it 1-1.
Picking the ball up just inside the Posh half the striker was surrounded by black shirts.
But in his current form there is no stopping him and Rodriguez duly waltzed his way through before calmly steering the ball past Lewis and into the corner of the net to give the Clarets the least they deserved.

Hey guys , I have a year of ps+ I'm waiting to activate. I just picked up killzone today and realized they give you seven free days of ps+. I also heard ps4 already gives you two weeks free. Is that true? I was also wondering if the non ps exclusives give you free trials. I still have ghosts and ac to pick up but waiting till the 12 for those since that's when ac is released. Anyone who already picked up their copy of ghosts let me know if there is a trial code inside. It would be awesome to get five weeks free, but even three is still good.
UPDATE : Now you get a 30 day voucher inside every PS4!
30-day Free Trial of PS+ , MU , $10 vouchers with Every PS4
Now comes an even sweeter deal !
You can easily grab an additional year subscription to PS+ for $30 during Gamestop's Black Friday sale.
PS+ can be stacked as well, so you can buy as many years as you like. Taking in consideration of the sale above, I plan on buying 5 years then, which would cost me $150 (5 years x $30 per year subscription), normal price of 5 years would be $250 (5 years x $50 per year subsciption), which means the sale is a cost saving of a $100. You can buy as much as you like though and highly suggest if you jump to PS+ to buy it during the Black Friday sale at Gamestop !

Instead of the political fireworks often generated in Northern Ireland contests, the current campaign has been one of unprecedented dullness – voters will go to the polls tomorrow against predictions of a particularly low turnout.
Even the outside possibility that a republican surge might give Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness enough seats to become First Minister has failed to produce real alarm among Protestant voters.
With major constitutional issues fading into the background, most campaign debate has centred on bread and butter issues which are not usually to the fore in Northern Ireland contests: health and education have been prominent.
The results are expected to consolidate the positions of the two largest parties, the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein, which have formed a partnership that has come to dominate local politics.
The close relationship that has developed between the two has led to complaints from smaller parties that they have together engineered a "carve-up" of power. During the campaign the big two have carefully avoided clashing with each other, concentrating instead on attacking their opponents.
The Assembly has contributed to a growing sense of stability during its four-year term. But it has also been criticised as cumbersome and slow-moving, leading many of the parties to call for reforms to its structure.
The fact that no supporters of violent republican groups are fighting the election is taken as a recognition of the fact that, with their limited support, they would attract a humiliatingly small number of votes.
One of the few incidents of note during the campaign came several days ago when the First Minister, Peter Robinson of the Democratic Unionists, over-balanced and toppled into his fish pond.
Well known as an enthusiast for koi carp, as he called for help, he said his family "either chortled and convulsed, or searched for insurance policies". He added: "Responses about slippery slopes, 'carping' on about issues and expressions of concern about my fish do not meet my need for sympathy."

NEW YORK -- With a heavy dose of curves to Carlos Delgado and a consistent fastball down in the strike zone, Mike O'Connor baffled the New York Mets for his first major league win.
The lanky lefty pitched two-hit ball for seven impressive innings and Alfonso Soriano hit a long two-run homer, leading the Washington Nationals to a 6-2 victory Tuesday night.
"Make sure I mix up my pitches and keep guys off balance and I think I'll be fine," said O'Connor, who planned to give the souvenir ball to his family.
Pinch-hitter Damian Jackson also had a two-run shot and new leadoff batter Marlon Byrd got three hits and scored three times to help Washington win for only the second time in 10 games.
The Nationals (9-18) improved to 2-6 against the NL East-leading Mets this season.
"You've seen how ugly it's been and how desperate we needed to win a game," Washington manager Frank Robinson said. "Hopefully, this will get us going."
Making his second big league start, O'Connor (1-1) allowed only a homer and a single to Paul Lo Duca. With his mom and girlfriend in the stands, the 25-year-old struck out six and walked two.
"Arms and legs coming at you," New York's David Wright said. "He threw a solid game."
Mike Stanton and Chad Cordero completed the three-hitter. Carlos Beltran homered against Cordero leading off the ninth.
John Maine (0-1) lost his Mets debut, giving up four runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Acquired with reliever Jorge Julio in the January trade that sent Kris Benson to Baltimore, the 24-year-old right-hander fanned six and issued two walks. He was pitching in place of injured rookie Brian Bannister (hamstring).
"I didn't pitch nearly as well as I could," Maine said. "I still had butterflies, but not too nervous."
O'Connor was called up from the minors last week to replace starter John Patterson, sidelined with a forearm injury. He was also solid in his major league debut, allowing three runs -- none earned -- in five innings last Thursday against St. Louis.
"He's pitched two excellent games. Why would we send him back?" Robinson said. "I like the way he conducts himself, handles himself on the mound. He seems to have excellent composure out there, veteran composure."
O'Connor fanned Beltran, Delgado and Wright in succession in the sixth and seventh. Plate umpire Jeff Nelson then turned toward New York's dugout and ejected manager Willie Randolph.
"Getting thrown out of the game is protecting my players," Randolph said. "I just voiced my opinion and I was thrown out."
The Mets had won five of six. Slumping slugger Cliff Floyd lined out to shortstop with runners on second and third to end the fourth and slammed his helmet down in frustration.
"I'm just more frustrated overall with myself," he said. "I'm not really pouting. I really want to come through for our team."
Byrd and Marlon Anderson opened the game with consecutive doubles down the left-field line, putting the Nationals ahead. Lo Duca tied it with a solo shot in the bottom half.
Byrd doubled to right in the third and Soriano drove a 2-2 pitch from Maine an estimated 440 feet down the left-field line and into the second deck, about five rows up. It was Soriano's eighth home run.
"I hit it very hard," Soriano said.
Nick Johnson snapped an 0-for-16 skid with a leadoff single in the sixth and stole second. He moved to third on Ryan Zimmerman's grounder to the right side and scored on an RBI groundout by pinch-hitter Jose Guillen against reliever Darren Oliver.
Byrd singled with two outs in the seventh. Just after a black cat sneaked its way onto the right-field warning track, Jackson connected on Oliver's next pitch to make it 6-1. It was Jackson's first career pinch-hit homer.
O'Connor was Washington's 2005 minor league pitcher of the year. ... Cordero had retired 13 consecutive batters dating to April 15. ... Stanton pitched his 1,000th career inning. ... Randolph was ejected for the first time this season and the second time in his career. ... The slow-footed Johnson has four stolen bases. ... Olympic figure skaters Sarah and Emily Hughes were on the field before the game.

Abe's Stimulus Program Has Lifted the Nation's Economy, but Companies Are Reluctant to Raise Wages
TOKYO—Like many Japanese, Itsuka Nonoguchi has yet to see the benefits from her country's economic resurgence.
Ms. Nonoguchi is spending more on gasoline to visit her mother in a nursing home and her family's food costs have increased. At the same time, her husband, who works at a small company that installs electric wiring, sees little chance...

I Forgot to Love You: Three
The cafeteria was always crowded by the time I got there. Every group in the school had its own designated common table; it was a tradition that had to be respected for the years to come. Or that was what the higher echelons of high school social classes made us think and we could do nothing but to abide by those once self-created laws. The food, most of the time, looked inedible, and today was no exception. After a quick survey of the menu, I walked to my designated table without a lunch tray and without appetite.
"Dude!" the tallest of my friends greeted me between mouthfuls of the poor excuse of a potato salad. "How've you been?" That question had become far too common and connected with subtle implies concerning "her". "Why don't you have any food with you, part of a hunger strike to get her back?"
"Rick, you can be so insensible at times." Helen rolled her eyes and turned to look at me with honest concern. Her deep, wise blue eyes were sharpened with black eye shadow in her eyelids and thick layers of mascara in her eyelashes, that wasn't uncommon among the girls whom I hang out with. "Don't listen to him."
"Never do," I said, dropping my bag to the floor and taking an empty chair. The noisy room had gotten to my nerves. I never missed eating outside, sitting on the grass under the shades of the trees, more. It was hard to define my group; most of us were skaters and hard-headed garage musicians who were in constant hopes of one day becoming famous with our loud music and carefree personalities. But for now, we only played for our heart's content. We never went so deep as to becoming junkies or druggies, at least some of us didn't, we struggled with the classes just like everyone else, but I guess that at the end of the day the people with whom you hang around with determines your place in society.
I heard her melodious voice. The terrible thing about dating someone from your school and breaking up was that you had to face that person five days out of seven. In this particular high school, kids around here knew each other very well to have knowledge about the affairs of their neighbors. After all, what else can you expect from a school in a small town? Not everybody cared about the subject though, and I felt immense gratitude toward those who rendered the matter with indifference.
I saw her. My heart was caught in my throat and my eyes went numb with agony. I saw her walking just in front of me, through the casual gaps between passing students and teachers. Her light stride and natural demeanor were both mesmerizing and alluring; her blonde hair fell behind her back like a waterfall in a warm summer day, as if golden rays of sunlight were mirrored in the transparent water. Her eyes were the symbol of serenity and the reflection of the azure kingdom above our heads. Her lips were tip just slightly upward, in an attempt to a small smile to please her friends. Somehow, I saw through her deception and her feigned happiness and longed to hold her close to me. She was now staring at the floor. Her long eyelashes were covering her eyes from the world and her lips had fallen just slightly and were now a sad indentation on her pretty face; a remembrance of something out of her control that went wrong and she had a hard time coping with it. Maybe her tears weren't over yet, unlike mine during my stolen moments.
Every now and then I wondered what happened to us, what part of us break. But I didn't expect the air to answer me back and so I continued living on, or at least tried to. I realized, when our relationship got into deeper waters, that I wasn't strong enough to support us both from drowning, and one of us had to let go. I was the one, and so, both of us sank into the dark waters of hopelessness and despair. None of us had emerged from them yet, she was still waiting for her knight in shining armor and I was only waiting for a lifesaver.
I closed my eyes and turned my head to stare at the grimy table with crumbs of food everywhere. It was painful enough to just think about her, let alone watch her walk around school with her broken smile. I couldn't do anything about it, like any selfish guy, I had to worry about my own collapsing world and fading sanity. She walked through the remains of my shattered dreams, being torn apart from the inside out, and I wished to save her, to save us both. But my pleas were neither heard nor acknowledge and my strength ever fading. We were now walking the thin tight rope held in the air on each side by the tip of a razor blade just above the sea of depression. What would snap first, the thin rope (the journey) or the razor blade (the destination)? I hope neither.

Chris Leben (pictured) will most likely be fighting for his big league life at UFC 162. On this week's edition of FUEL TV's "UFC Tonight," it was announced Leben will battle Andrew Craig in the July 6 event. Leben has dropped two of his last three scraps, including two straight. "The Ultimate Fighter 1″ contestant performed horribly in his last outing against Derek Brunson, and UFC president Dana White took notice. Considering Leben has been suspended twice for performance-enhancing drugs, his apparent decline and the UFC's quick firing trigger finger, this could very well be do or die for "The Crippler." Craig, meanwhile, was perfect through his first eight professional bouts before losing to Ronny Markes in his last foray. The 27-year-old is 2-1 inside the Octagon. MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the festivities.

Lanzante, J. R., 2016:
Distributional testing employing the Kuiper's and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests
accounting for temporal coherence.
To be submitted .
It is shown that the Kuiper's, and the closely related Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests of
distributional goodness of fit can result in a serious overestimate of the
significance of the results if temporal coherence, commonly found in daily weather
and climate time series, is ignored. Alternately, employing the commonly used
"effective sample size", based on the lag-1 autocorrelation, can result in a serious
underestimation of the significance. A practical method to overcome this quandary
is presented.

What are the steps for using an inhaler?
There are several simple steps to follow for using an inhaler:
- remove cap
- hold the canister upright
- shake it
- place it in mouth
- actuate (release the drug) by pressing the canister in the inhaler
- breathe in as you actuate
- hold your breath for a few seconds
- breathe out
- repeat if needed
Possible side effects of using inhaled asthma drugs
Even though when using inhaled asthma drugs, a person can breathe in an adequate dose, most of the drug is actually deposited in the mouth and the back of the throat, where some irritation may occur, especially when using inhaled corticosteroids.
In addition, because corticosteroids in particular upset the balance of the micro-organisms that live in the back of the throat, a yeast infection (monilia or candida) may result, causing a hoarse voice or scratchy feeling in the back of the throat. This side effect can be reduced by gargling with water after using a corticosteroid inhaler, or by using a "spacer".
Using a spacer to improve the delivery of inhaled medications
The use of a spacer device allows more of the drug to be inhaled, and prevents the large deposition of the drug at the back of the mouth and throat. Also, less drug at the back of the throat means less drug getting into the stomach and being absorbed that way.
Using breath-actuated delivery systems
Breath-actuated systems contain the drug in a powder form. Generally, they are easier to use than metered-dose inhalers because it is not necessary to coordinate actuation (release of the drug) with inhalation.
There are four breath-actuated systems that work with specific drugs:
- The Turbuhaler can be used to deliver a corticosteroid (Pulmicort®), a beta2-agonist (Bricanyl®), or a long-acting beta2-agonist (Oxeze®) or combination therapy Symbicort®
- The Foradil Inhaler dispenses a long-acting beta2-agonist
- The Diskhaler can be used for a corticosteroid (Beclovent®) or a beta2-agonist (Ventolin®)
- The Discus can be used for a corticosteroid (Flovent®) or a long-acting beta2-agonist (Serevent®)
Using a nebulizer for the delivery of asthmatic drugs
Because nebulizers deliver larger doses of a drug than metered-dose inhalers, some people find them helpful when they are having a problem taking a deep breath. For example, when a bronchospasm is so severe that more than a few puffs from a metered-dose inhaler or breath-actuated device are needed, the asthmatic may benefit from the larger dose provided by a nebulizer. This can sometimes avoid the need for a trip to the hospital.
However, while there are some advantages to using a nebulizer, most asthmatics don't need this type of device to deliver bronchodilators or corticosteroids.

Chapter Twenty-Three
Word Count: 3,952
The girl standing at the bar appeared simple. Her brown hair had natural red highlights and it hung in comfortable curls down her back and over her shoulders. The black silk dress she wore was gorgeous, probably the most gorgeous thing about her. The strange thing was that I wanted nothing more than to rip it off her and leave it on the floor in my room. But she was so plain. For a vampire, at least. She had very little that was distinctive, except that her eyes were a warm brown. I'd never met a vampire who could have natural looking eyes without contacts and those were not contacts. I could smell her from across the nightclub, every inch of her skin seemed to be calling out to me.
So as you can imagine, when the dirty blond guy beside her stopped checking her out for the first time all night and excused himself to the bathroom, I was walking over there without really thinking about it. I vaguely heard a friend of mine calling out to me.
"Ethan, man, where are you going? Dude, get back here."
I had reached the girl by the time I even thought to turn around and by then it was too late. Who really would have wanted to, anyway, with this girl standing before him smelling like lavender and freesias? I reached out and gently tapped on her shoulder, watching in fascination the way the silk moved against her backside as she turned around to face me. And then she was this close and I couldn't breathe and I almost felt lightheaded. Her large doe eyes met mine and I felt so inferior, as if there was something inexplicably powerful pacing in the depths of her eyes, waiting to get out. Her gaze stirred something deep in my chest and if I didn't know any better, I'd swear my heart was going to start beating in my chest.
I smiled down at her and watched the corner of her mouth turn up into a smirk. She reached into her little black clutch and pulled out a long, black cigarette. Was that a clove? I do believe it was. She lit it as I watched, holding the lighter a mere four inches from my chest. Perhaps I shouldn't have stood so close to her, she didn't seem very responsible with that flame. That wasn't safe. Instead of acting on that thought, I reached out my right hand and pressed it against the edge of the bar, consequently leaning my torso closer to her. Her small hand reached up and took the cigarette from between her lips as she exhaled a soft cloud of smoke. Her clutch and lighter had vanished. I studied the black smoke in her hand, positively enthralled by the faint glistening of her lip gloss against the paper.
I met her eyes again, those melted chocolate pools tugging at my chest.
"Hi," I croaked out. What the hell was this? I didn't think I was nervous, why was my voice breaking?
Yeah? What kind of greeting was that? And did I really just sort of swoon at the sound of her voice? Let's try that again.
"I'm Ethan." At least my voice didn't break.
"That's nice." Her tone was flat, uninterested. She wasn't teasing, she wasn't complimenting me. And yet her voice sent hot pin-pricks all over my body. I felt like I'd never spoken to a girl in my life before, suddenly my stomach was churning and exploding with nervous flutters. Fucking butterflies. Great.
"What's your name?"
"Her name's Bella. You can go now." I fought to tear my eyes from hers as she exhaled another puff of smoke in my direction. When I finally ripped my eyes from her, I met the fierce glow of a pair of green eyes. Another vampire without contacts? What the hell? I pulled my sight back so I could focus on more than just blondie's eyes. He stood with his arms crossed over his chest, his back straight, clearly unhappy with my relative position to his lady.
"I'm rather comfortable, thanks." If looks could kill...
"James, why don't we go dance?" Her voice again. Those same pin-pricks on every inch of my skin. And I do mean every inch. I straightened myself up, grabbing her hand and smirking at her friend.
"I'll dance with you, baby." With that I tugged her onto the dance floor, placing us in the center of the room, before I pulled her against me as much as she would allow. My hands cupped her waist, so small it easily fit in my grip, as my eyes stayed on hers. She danced slowly, not nearly the way she had withJames. This knowledge pissed me off. Why wouldn't she dance with me that way? I pulled her closer forcibly, leaning my face down right against the side of hers. I told her she smelled fantastic. She stiffened momentarily but relaxed slightly. Slightly. She had one hand on my chest, keeping me from moving any closer, and she continued smoking with her other hand. Why was this woman so fucking sexy to me? I pressed my nose against the dip in her neck where her pulse would have been if she were human, inhaling the heavy scent of her skin.
Her friend was tapping my shoulder. I was ignoring him. That is, until he grabbed my arm and yanked me backwards by a few feet, forcing me to release her. Instantly, my body ached to fill the few spots she'd been. With my nose burning from her smell, my mind barely registered that I was speaking.
"Sorry buddy, but I think our lady friend is having a good time right here. Don't be an ass, man, let the woman dance." My voice was sure, confident, but mostly stupid. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew this guy could be trouble. It was clear. It was hard to miss, actually, even just with a glance at him. The way he held himself, the way his jaw set, the way his clothes hung casually from him. He didn't wear anything that would restrict his movements, which was smart. But only if you were used to trouble. The way his hands were buried in his pockets, as if to keep him from swinging. Even standing there, his legs were set apart slightly as if he were bracing for impact.
Yeah, this guy was trouble, all right. Not someone you'd want to mess with. So why was I antagonizing him, then?
Beats me.
The low growl that rumbled from his chest nearly shook me, and if I'd had any sense I would have bowed out and left. Not just left them alone, either, butleft the bar entirely. Yet, I didn't. I took a long breath, inhaling nothing but her scent, and felt a cocky sneer lift my lips up. What the fuck was wrong with me? Did I really want to fight this guy? Unwillingly, my eyes darted to the topic of our disagreement, smoking casually a few feet away from the both of us. I hadn't noticed that the rest of the patrons on the dance floor were avoiding the three of us entirely. Even drunk these humans had more sense than I did.
"You want me to get you outta here, baby? He seems a bit controlling, I'm sure you'd like the chance to get away. Maybe have some fun for once." There it was, my voice again. Speaking without permission. Stupid, stupid idea. I watched his eyes spark with a new level of angry. Perhaps he was right up at rage now? Yeah. Stupid fucking idea, that talking thing. His furor shone in his eyes like a fire blazing in the distance and I knew I was done for.
"I think you should leave."
"I think she wants me to stay. Someone has to get her out of here." I reached out and went to graze the skin of her arm with my fingertips, planning to grab her hand to prove my point.
"I would think twice about touching her, if I were you. Just a suggestion, but I won't repeat myself." This was a bad idea. A very, very bad idea.
"James, why don't we just go home?" Her voice shook, despite her clear attempts to make it even. Baby was scared. What was she scared of? A fight here? Or of him when they got home? Did he fucking abuse her? Oh fuck no. I didn't even bother to disguise myself as I turned to look at her, studying her creamy skin and large doe eyes. She was a vampire, there would be no bruises, but I couldn't help scanning her body anyway. Is that what she was afraid of, him abusing her?
I felt a surge of protectiveness rush through me, mentally watching all my restraint and common sense leap from the window. This was stupid. So very stupid. But she clearly needed someone to step in on her behalf. No one would abuse this girl. I inhaled deeply before I let out a low, menacing growl from my throat. The smell of freesias filled my head, making my vision blurry.
"You don't have to go home to this asshole, baby."
"Really, Ethan, it's all right. I think we should go, James." Her voice was panicked now.
"I would really suggest that you stop calling her that, Ethan." He spat my name at me like it was a filthy word. I felt my own anger building in my chest. This was going to end badly. But I was fast, faster than any vamp I'd ever met, and I intended on putting that to good use.
"Why don't we take this outside?" Before either of them could really expect anything, I swept her up into my arms and bolted out the back door of the nightclub. She had just started to struggle as I set her down outside, her lovely face forming a malicious glare directed right at me. Had I done something wrong? I was trying to help.
"Bella! Did he hurt you?" For the first time since I'd spoken to this James, his voice was gentle, a soft caress between them without the use of hands. I wanted to believe it was fake, it was all a show, but I struggled with it. It didn't stop me from my next stupid idea, however.
I swung my right fist directly into James's jaw. I watched him fly backwards and hit the brick wall of the building we'd just exited.
There was something to be said about being thrown towards a brick wall via impact to your jaw. Pain was an understatement, really. Even as a vampire, I couldn't neglect the throbbing ache in my face. I wondered if he'd knocked a few teeth loose. A human would have shattered every bone in his hand with a punch like that. This kid packed a punch, I'd give him that. But he was also stupid. Oh yeah, a few teeth were loose. I could feel them stitching themselves back into their rightful places.
It took absolutely no effort on my part to halt my speeding path to the brick wall. I forcibly threw myself the rest of the few inches, having only been concerned with destroying the wall and bringing attention to us. Even using telekinesis to toss myself into it destroyed part of the wall, though that wouldn't even be noticed until a worker had to take the trash out in the wee hours of the morning. I didn't need Ethan noticing my ability before I wanted him to. So a quick collision with the wall was something I was willing to suffer through for the advantage of surprise. Bella was at my side, cooing in my ear and attempting to dust off the particles of demolished brick from my shoulders. I didn't even bother lifting myself from the ground before I brought my hand up and lifted Ethan from his feet from across the parking lot. I threw him into a parked car. The metal crunched beneath his weight as the tires pushed sideways, forcing the first car to collide with another one beside it. And then another.
I curled the fingers of that same hand into a fist, pulling him out of the wreckage and slamming him down on the ground. Hard. I heard bones snap. The thing about being a vampire, though, is that even broken bones heal in seconds. I opened my hand, releasing my hold on him, and waited for him to recover. No need to kick a vampire while he was down, it wasn't fair and was typically looked down upon by any self-respecting person. Bella wouldn't approve if I destroyed this kid without giving him a fighting chance.
I stood up and dusted myself off, glancing up when it registered to me that Bella was rushing to Ethan's side, running her long fingers through his hair as he lay on the ground face down. She was speaking quietly to him, asking him if he was going to be all right. What. the. fuck.
Now that was just infuriating. Any polite break I was willing to give the kid was shortened dramatically by my temper being aggravated. What the fuck was Bella doing? Did she honestly have any concern for this little shit? I growled low in my throat and lifted my hand again, his body rising from the ground. I stood him up in the air and dropped him to his feet from about thirty feet in the air. Nothing dangerous. He landed on his feet, crouched down with his knees bent and his right palm flat on the concrete. He was healed fine, and I wondered if I regretted that. His head rose slowly as he looked up at me and I knew that look. Fury was not appropriate. Unequivocal malice might be.
He returned my growl and lunged at me, faster than I expected, slamming me to the ground and proceeding to punch me directly in the face. Again. His free hand gripped my shirt and he lifted us both off the ground. I'd let him have his moment, and then I would slaughter him. He pulled me up just inches from his face, growling in his throat again as he spoke.
"No more gifts, fucker. We end this on fair ground." Fine, kid, I can do that.
"Fine," my normal smooth tone was long gone, my voice held nothing except contempt and rage and a fire that was eating me alive.
So this was jealousy, or the vampiric equivalent.
I lifted my left hand and swung with as much force as I could muster directly into the side of his head. He released me and stumbled back a few steps, his hand going up to soothe his now-injured head. Then he turned quickly and brought his foot up in a round-house kick towards the side of my head. An eye for an eye. I ducked and threw my own leg out, catching his grounded foot with mine and knocking him off balance. He landed on the pavement face-first. I heard the cracking of his nose as it gave beneath his weight. That was oddly satisfying.
Bella was yelling but it was nothing more than background noise at this point. I could have tried to understand what she was saying except that to do so would have distracted me from side-stepping a punch to the stomach. But since I wasn't trying to understand Bella's panicked screams, I side-stepped said punch and brought my knee up to meet his mouth with a loud crunching noise.
Ow. That probably hurt.
I reached out and grabbed a fistful of his hair, yanking him up to his feet and throwing him backwards in one powerful toss. He slammed heavily into the dumpster across the parking lot, the metal creaking and folding around his form. He slid to the ground before rolling out of the damaged dumpster and lifting himself to his feet. He shook off the collision quickly and stalked towards me, slowly. He was being deliberate, thinking he could frighten me off by acting unfazed. We circled each other for a moment, taking steps at the same time, watching the other's movements carefully. We were sizing each other up, and if I was being honest, the annoyance across from me was more of a challenge than I gave him credit for. At least, without the use of my gifts he was. It was his speed, really. But it hardly mattered, I was faster. I knew I was faster. But it had been a long time since someone could push me to have to be faster. I could feel my muscles tightening all throughout my body, anticipating my next attack. He lunged at me again, always the eager one, and I leaped from my spot on the pavement. Curling myself into a ball, I spun in mid-air and landed on my feet. Directly in the center of his back, pinning him to the pavement with an explosive pop. I stepped off of his shattered spine and walked a few feet away, giving him room to move. No use making this too easy.
Bella's screams became more urgent but, really, neither of us were paying any attention.
That is, until a streak of white-hot flame flew directly between us and caught a parked car on fire. Then, we payed attention. It had almost looked like a comet flying passed me, the tail of it dancing with little licks of golden yellow flame and bright orange sparks. Slowly, I turned my head in the other direction, my gaze landing on Bella. She was on her knees, her warm brown eyes large and shocked. Panic was clear on her face and the backs of her hands rested on her thighs, her fingers curled up slightly as if she were tense.
Of course she was tense. Someone just fired off a flame-thrower behind her. That's when it hit me, Bella was in danger. I took off running towards her, scooping her into my arms as my eyes covered the entire span of the parking lot and the area passed us. No one. She was untouched, luckily for the shitfuck who'd done it.
"Find the fucker with the flame-thrower, I'm going to put her somewhere safe," I couldn't believe I was calling Ethan to arms to defend the woman we were, in essence, fighting over. But this wasn't about us, this wasn't about jealousy, this wasn't about pride. This was about Bella, it was about keeping her safe. And it meant I needed someone to watch my back as I hid her, and he was the only one here. He would have to do. I ran towards the ocean, my speed literally so fast that my feet never fully touched the ground. Easily two hundred miles an hour. I held Bella firmly against my chest as I ran, wondering if she knew what was going on at all. She hadn't said anything, her eyes were still wide with shock and I was not going to make it worse by telling her exactly what I thought was happening. There really was only one option.
It was a rare occurrence, to be sure, but it did happen. It was happening. Some egotistical human somehow found out about vampires and didn't simply dismiss the notion. Instead, he went and bought a flame-thrower and decided to eliminate the species. Yeah, because that was the logical thought process. Obviously, it was an even more rare occurrence when the moron succeeded. And when he did, it was only one vampire and it was always by way of absolute surprise.
He was usually slaughtered shortly thereafter. Sometimes, it has to be done.
I was at the water's edge now, Bella in my arms. I set her on her feet and cupped her small face in my hands. "Baby, listen to me." Her eyes lifted to meet mine, but I knew that she was barely here with me. She was somewhere else entirely, buried in her mind beneath shock and fear and surprise. I wanted nothing more than to lift her back into my arms and run my hands through her hair and soothe her until she was no longer afraid. But the only way I could do that would be to eliminate the threat entirely. "Bella, you have to go underwater for me, okay? Stay here until I come to get you. Go out about three miles and sit on the ocean floor. They won't be able to find you there. Okay? Do you understand me?" She nodded gently and I kissed her lips hard. I took her clutch and hid it a few feet away. I returned to her and kissed her again, quickly. "All right, baby, go now." And she did, diving into the water and speeding off just like I told her to.
Then I sped back to the parking lot. It took me no more than a minute and a half. Ethan was scouting the area as I'd instructed but when I returned, he looked at me as if I'd lost my mind.
"There's no one here, James. No one could have gotten away that quickly. If it was a hunter, he'd have stayed until he could hit one of us. Don't you think?"
The kid had a point actually, but I had to be sure. I couldn't risk someone coming after Bella simply because I trusted some kid. Some kid I didn't even know.
"We look again. I can't take that risk."
And so we looked. Everywhere. Rooftops, cars, buildings. We looked in cars that were hundreds of blocks away. I scanned the minds of everyone within range. Nothing. We couldn't find a single trace. In fact, every fresh scent in the parking lot was either from us or was traceable into the nightclub. There was nothing for us to find. But I kept Ethan searching for hours. We were chasing nothing, even I knew it, but I couldn't let it go. The fear of someone coming after Bella because I'd neglected one tiny little thing was overwhelming.
"Dude, we aren't finding anything. Why can't you just let it go?"
"Because Bella is the one at risk here," I spat. The acid in my voice was painful even for me, my throat burned with it as I spoke. Ethan looked shocked.
"She's not at risk if there isn't anyone at all to find, James."
"Then how do you explain the fucking fireball, Ethan? If you're so fucking sure of this, explain that to me."
And then, as if Ethan had punched me in the back of the head, the realization hit me. And it hurt. Christ, I was so fucking stupid. How could I have overlooked this? I felt my knees buckle and crash into the pavement. Ethan froze where he stood, his mouth half open as if to respond to me. Shock was apparent on his face, he had no idea what could have caused me to collapse like that. Vampires don't have heart attacks.
"Uh. You okay?"
The tension was still thick between us and the idea of having to ask the other if he was okay was simply torturous. All we wanted to do was make sure hewasn't okay, but until the threat was discovered we were forced to work with each other. And I was certainly not okay.
"I figured it out."
"What? Where is the guy?"
"About a thousand feet under water."

Cardinals 6, Brewers 1
Associated Press | Last updated August 04, 2012
Adam Wainwright pitched a five-hitter and also contributed at the plate, leading the St. Louis Cardinals over the Milwaukee Brewers 6-1 Saturday night. Wainwright (9-10) moved closer to .500 after starting the season at 0-3. He threw 73 of 98 pitches for strikes, walking none and fanning seven. All of Wainwright's strikeouts came during a stretch between the third and seventh innings when he retired 13 batters in a row. The complete game was his second of the season and 10th of his career. Wainwright also hit an RBI double and a single, and he scored a run. Carlos Beltran hit his 25th homer, giving him an NL-leading 77 RBIs. Jon Jay also homered for the Cardinals and Yadier Molina added a two-run single. Ryan Braun drove in the Brewers' run with a sacrifice fly in the first. After spotting the Brewers that 1-0 lead, St. Louis tied it when Beltran hit the first pitch from Mark Rogers (0-1) in the second just over the right-field wall. The ball bounced off the stands and back on to the field, and Beltran initially had to stop at third. After a one-minute review by the umpires, Beltran was awarded home. The Cardinals broke it open by scoring four times in the third. Daniel Descalso and Wainwright led off with doubles and Allen Craig had an RBI single. Molina's two-out single made it 5-1. NOTES: The Cardinals honored members of 1982 World Series championship clubs before the game and both teams wore retro jerseys. St. Louis defeated Milwaukee, then an American League team, in seven games in the Series that year. ... Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez, who had a cortisone shot in his sore left wrist Thursday, was out of the starting lineup for the second straight game. . . . Marco Estrada will face the Cardinals' Kyle Lohse in the series finale Sunday. . . . Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia went 4 1-3 innings and allowed two hits and one run while striking out six in a rehab assignment for Double-A Springfield on Saturday night.

Gaithersburg, Md. — Lakeforest Mall in Gaithersburg, Md., today announced a $1.2 million renovation plan. Improvements will include a reconfiguration of the center court, a new and improved children's play area and new furniture for the food court.
Work will level the 5,245-sq.-ft. center court to create a space that will host community events such as the Lunar New Year Celebration, Summer Camp Expo and holiday promotions. Center court renovations will finish up by early November.
A new play area, Adventure in The Forest opened in the courtyard near J.C. Penney in July, featuring an oak tree, jeep, helicopter and canoe in a Maryland woodland backdrop of Black-eyed Susans, a terrapin turtle and a Baltimore Checkerspot Butterfly.
