This ran in Sunday's paper, after Scott Van Pelt did his radio show in the District last week. This is a slightly expanded version.
For the last several years, it's become a sports-media cliche: well-known Washington sports broadcaster heads to Bristol for a job at ESPN.
Comcast SportsNet anchor Sage Steele joined the network in 2007. WTEM's Bram Weinstein left for ESPN in 2008. WUSA's Sara Walsh headed north in 2010. Steve Weissman, a graduate of Montgomery County's Springbrook High, went to ESPN in the same year. Jorge Andres left D.C.'s WZDC Telemundo Sports for Bristol in 2011. That was the same year that Lindsay Czarniak departed WRC for ESPN. Former WRC colleague Hakem Dermish soon joined her.
But before the ESPNEWS and SportsCenter sets began hosting daily D.C. reunions, there was Scott Van Pelt, drawing on his experience as a former intern for Steve Buckhantz at WTTG, mentioning College Park bars on SportsCenter, and frequently discussing his Washington roots on his ESPN Radio show.
"It means a lot to come home," Van Pelt told a downtown audience at The Hamilton last week, after his first live radio show in the District. "Because I'll never get to do this [full time] from home. My job will never bring me back home. So to get to do this today was neat."
Van Pelt, of course, grew up in Montgomery County, attended Maryland and frequently comes back to College Park, where he's a fixture at football and basketball games. But after more than a decade in Bristol, is Washington really home?
"Absolutely," he told me in the venue's green room, before beginning his show. "To this day, when people say where are you from, I say D.C."
"Oh, where do you live?" people will ask, and Van Pelt will tell them he lives in Connecticut.
"I thought you said D.C.?" they'll respond.
"I did, because you asked me where I'm from, and that's where I'm from," he'll explain. "I was in Clemson last week. I'll be in Alabama [soon]. When I land, I have to get my app out, punch in where I'm going, and some lady, some disembodied voice tells me where to go. When I land here, it's like the Swallows of Capistrano — I just start driving and I know where I am. It always, ALWAYS feels like home."
That feeling informs Van Pelt's frequent on-air excursions into the realm of Washington sports. When he interviewed Mike Shanahan in May, for example, he talked to the Redskins coach about the local sports-radio mania surrounding all things burgundy and gold – "as a guy who grew up in the Washington area, I'm acutely aware of how the Redskins dominate conversation," he said during the interview.
"I think about this often," Van Pelt told me. "The Redskins blot out the sun here, in a way that feels unique. That's not the right word, because unique means the only one, but there's a unique-NESS to it. Put it this way, if you told people in Denver you could keep the Broncos but you'd have to give up the Rockies, the Nuggets and the Avalanche, there'd be some pushback. If you told Washington D.C. you could keep the Redskins, but you'd have to give up the Nats, the Wizards and the Caps? Done."
The Redskins mania expanded during the past few months, when national programs seemed as anxious as the locals to discuss RGIII. Monday Night Football brought Van Pelt's program to D.C., and RGIII's "Operation Patience" gave him frequent opportunities to call on his background.
"To the degree that the Redskins are a national topic and this comes up, I try to frame it by explaining what I understand about this place," he said. "I think it's context, and I think it's real. Explaining that to somebody that's from a different really passionate place, they're like, 'Oh, it's like that here too.' Is it? But even so, it's like trying to explain to somebody about pizza. 'Oh, you've got to have this pizza!' Unless you've had it, I'm just telling you about something that you kind of understand, but you don't really."
And so, of course I had to ask about the RGIII mania. (Bear in mind, this was before the 2013 regular season started.)
"I think what's happened in the time since the Redskins were good is we've become intoxicated more than anything else by the possibility of something that might be," Van Pelt said. "If you had an 18 [at a blackjack table], that's a good hand. You might win with that. It's not blackjack, but it's 18. Redskins fans would [instead] take the ace and whatever's underneath. It might be a king, it might be a 2. They don't care. Robert Griffin is the ace, and anything else is an unknown — but there's a chance that it's blackjack, you see what I'm saying? That's the best way I can describe what he represents to the Redskins.
"If you said to Redskins fans right now, you could have Ben Roethlisberger — a guy that won two Super Bowls, big tough. He's an 18. But Robert Griffin, he might be better. We don't know that he's better. But he might be. And the possibility of what might be, I think, is more intoxicating to sports fans than a safe, known entity."
Van Pelt and I talked about Buckhantz, whom he sees annually at the beach. He saw Chris Cooley and talked about the former tight end's radio work. He talked about Andy Pollin's new show, and the legacy of Glenn Brenner and George Michael, and he talked about Maryland football's upcoming recruiting class.
A few minutes later, Van Pelt began his show. A couple dozen students, seated in the back, marked the occasion with chants of "Let's Goooooo, Maryland!" The host smiled.

For parents and carers, Christmas was only the day before yesterday - but for their young charges it has already passed into ancient history, that happy blur spanning the moment of their birth until an hour ago. (Our five-year-old calls it "when I was little".) Some of us may be nursing hangovers, but the nation's infants are keen to move on. They are bouncing off the walls, full of dynamite and Tizer, shouting, "Get off the sofa and play with me!" I took the problem to a top developmental psychologist. (Well, I say that. My mum raised us just fine - I mean, what do you want? A certificate?) And this expert told me that the only course of action is to call your child's bluff. They want to play? Ha! Then let's play. And nobody stops till they are too tired to hassle their poor carers any more.
I needed to develop an exhausting regime of physical recreation, but there was one problem - this is Britain at the wrong end of December, so the weather is likely to be awful and all sports must be playable inside. For help I turned to a pair of gifted sports scientists. Our neighbour Artemy, seven, is an athlete and his brother, Yann, five, is an innovator, and between them they've developed a sport that features all the drama of the Olympics with none of the £9bn price tag. From the foothills of Olympus to the suburbs of Britain, ladies and gentlemen ... it's the domestic pentathlon! Like its grown-up cousin, the modern pentathlon, the house-trained version features epee fencing, pistol shooting, freestyle swimming, show jumping on horseback, and cross-country running. But, crucially, these disciplines have been subtly adapted to the confines of the typical British semi-detached house or flat, promising minimum damage to walls and furnishings. (Terms and conditions apply. Caregivers who elect to use real horses in the penultimate event do so at their own risk.)
First, a lavish opening ceremony is staged. Each child paints a flag for themselves and invents the name of a country to represent. Then the stereo is fired up and each of the kids chooses an anthem. This is played to accompany their ceremonial laps around the living room at the opening parade, and also for their podium moments at the medal presentations. The opening ceremony also features plenty of cake and fizzy drinks - which brings us to the issue of performance-enhancing substances. Domestic pentathlon is all for them. Haribo's Starmix sweets work especially well. The more sugar one can get into the kids, the more thrillingly overexcited they will be. Medals are awarded after every event and are, of course, made of chocolate.
And so to the events. Epee fencing is done with the cardboard tubes from kitchen rolls and scored by an impartial grown-up. No biting or gouging, please. Pistol shooting is performed with rubber bands and one-penny pieces, and it's all about distance fired. The freestyle is swum across the living-room floor, and made more realistic by requiring the kids to don swimming costumes and goggles. Show jumping, sadly, has created a schism in the sporting body that governs domestic pentathlon. The Welsh sport now uses real miniature pit ponies that are brought indoors, while in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland the children sit astride brooms. The final discipline, cross-country, is run up and down the hallway, with extra points for skidding.
Success is all in the refinements, of course. An Olympic village is nice. Post-event interviews are popular, especially if recorded and played back to the kids. For older children a media centre, a team psychologist and a political controversy involving human rights are all fine additions.

Analysis of Yeast Telomerase by Primer Extension Assays

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures located at eukaryotic chromosomal termini, which are required for chromosome stability and are maintained by a reverse transcriptase named telomerase. Budding yeast has served as an extremely useful model system for analyzing telomere maintenance because the organism offers a wide range of genetic and biochemical tools. Several milestones in telomerase research were reached through investigation of the yeast system. For example, the consequence of telomerase loss was first characterized in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Lundblad and Szostak, Cell 57:633–643, 1989). The catalytic component of telomerase (telomerase reverse transcriptase; TERT) was likewise initially cloned from this organism (Lendvay et al., Genetics 144:1399–1412, 1996). Moreover, much of the current understanding of the structure and function of the telomerase complex was derived from yeast studies (Autexier and Lue, Annu Rev Biochem 75:493–517, 2006). In this chapter, we discuss one of the most useful tools for investigating yeast telomerase mechanisms and regulation: the primer extension assay. This assay can be used to examine the overall activity as well as the processivity of telomerase, which represents a unique aspect of telomerase enzymology (Lue et al., Mol Cell Biol 23:8440–8449, 2003; Bosoy and Lue, Nucleic Acids Res 32:93–101, 2004). It can also be employed to analyze the mechanisms of telomerase regulatory proteins (Zappulla et al., Nucleic Acids Res 37:354–367, 2009; DeZwaan and Freeman, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106, 17337–17342, 2009).

Compare the most common types of cuisine by NYC neighborhood
An NYU Furman Center study reveals the most prevalent type of restaurants by zip code, and no—pizza isn't the most popular grub in every single 'hood
Mon Mar 3 2014
Looks like the trope of NYC having every type of ethnic food holds up under data-driven scrutiny. The curious folks at the NYU Furman Center scoured numbers from the Department of Health and Hygiene's food inspections to place the most common cuisines by zip code on a map of the city, putting the data in a simple, easy-to-visualize format. (Note that they excluded restaurants filed as "American.") And the city's diverse culinary scene is pretty impressive, though we do notice an abundance of Chinese and Italian food—not that we mind.
Besides those two common cuisines, which New Yorkers are notoriously crazy for, we noticed the prevalence of Polish food in Greenpoint, Russian in Brighton Beach and Greek in Astoria. No surprise there, but we're intrigued (and slightly jealous) as to why ice cream is so prevalent on the southern tip of Staten Island. Check out the map below, and if you'd like to dig further into the data and find the top three most common cuisines in your zip code, click over to the NYU Furman Center.
Do any of these findings surprise you? Let us know via Twitter.

Running faster is fairly easy.
I'll explain…
If you came to this article to learn exactly how to run faster, then you've come to the right place.
That's because I am about to simplify speed for you, and tell you exactly how to run faster.
Here we go…
Running faster is about two things:
1. Having the strength to overcome your own body's inertia and propel it really darn fast.
- Put it this way, if you can make your body literally feel lighter to you, then you'll be running faster. '
- The smartest way to do this is to get stronger: As your muscles become bigger and stronger, your body will feel lighter to you and you'll be zipping around faster. Period. Strength is important, don't forget that.
2. Having the feet and lower legs to transfer all of that strength efficiently and quickly.
- Think about it, sprinting, cutting jumping, accelerating, all of it requires that you do it with your feet.
- Every step, every stride, every ground contact, it's you feet that hit the ground first and it's your feet that are there to transmit and control everything smoothly and efficiently.
- You need great feet if you ever want to be a superstar athlete, if you ever want to run faster than you are now.
Now, let's look at the "How" of how to run faster.
First off of our equation is Strength.
How do you get stronger? What muscles do you need to strengthen? How can you do it the fastest?
To get stronger, you need to be lifting weights, but not as much as you think.
If you can get to a weight training room at least 2 times a week, for 30 minutes, that'd be enough time to get stronger.
When you are weight training to run faster, you should be focusing on strengthening your hips and thighs, specifically your posterior chain.
And by picking 2-3 good exercises and only doing those and getting stronger with those, you'll find your strength improving more rapidly than you ever thought possible.
Here is a great sample workout for running faster that you can start today:
Exercise 1- Deadlift 5 x 3 (that's 5 sets of 3, ramp up the weight for each set)
Exercise 2- Walking Lunges 2-3 x 6-10 (that's 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps for each leg)
Exercise 3- Hanging Leg Raises 2 x 20 (that's 2 sets of 20 reps)
Perform that workout twice a week for the next 3-4 weeks and see how much stronger, and in turn faster, you get.
The second part of our equation is strengthening and training your feet to make you run faster.
This is a little bit more difficult prospect to fix, but it can easily be done, you just need to make sure you're doing the right things to fix this problem as fast and smoothly as possible.
And to find out EXACTLY how to fix your feet so you can be running faster (and I mean fix them so that you're running significantly faster within a matter of 10-14 days), go to the Official Truth About Quickness website.

Mr Greenleaf, I presume?
Disclaimer: Hermione Granger and the HP universe belongs to JK Rowling (of course), the character of Legolas Greenleaf is the property of JRR Tolkien and the movie version of The Fellowship of the Ring is owned by…
Sometimes I feel quite sorry for Hermione having to put up with two adolescent boys all day long, never getting any thanks for solving all their problems for them, so I decided to give her a present. In this vignette she meets a rather dashing (ok, it's the Orlando Boom/Movie version) young (ish) elf called Legolas Greenleaf, who gives her a bit of a break from 14 year old boys. Go Hermione! (Note: So I may have given Legolas the appearance of the Movie Elf, but I have tried to take his character straight from the book (i.e. by giving him some lines!)
"Damn boys, damn Quidditch and damn that Ronald Weasley!"
Hermione Granger stamped her way through the Hogwarts grounds, quietly fuming. Another argument had just erupted between her and Ron, with Harry taking Ron's side as usual.
"Why do they have to stick together like demented 5 year olds? Do they have to be so so boyish about everything? They're just so…. Immature!"
As she ranted her way away from the castle, and as far as possible from that blinkin Quidditch pitch, Hermione failed to notice how far she had wandered. Before she knew it, she was at the border of the Forbidden Forest.
"Oh, dear me!" She said aloud, as she stopped herself just before her foot came down outside school boundaries. The last thing she wanted was for Ron to have the satisfaction of seeing her in detention for breaking school rules. But just as she turned around to head back, she heard a whimper from inside the trees.
The whimpering noise carried on, sounding very much like Hagrid's boarhound. Hermione knew that Hagrid was at that moment absent on an errand for Dumbledore, and had left Fang behind under Harry's care. The dog must have escaped from Hagrid's cabin and made his way alone into the forest. Hermione stood still, thinking quickly. With no one with her to go up to the castle for help, she would have to go herself and risk Fang moving further into the wood. If he was seriously hurt, that could very well be dangerous for him. Hermione shivered as she thought of some of the creatures that lived in the depths of the forest…
No, she decided. She would have to go in herself and find him. If she could hear the hound's whimpering this loudly out of the wood, then he couldn't be too far away.
Carefully, quietly, Hermione entered the Forbidden Forest. She walked in the direction of Fang's cries, trying to keep to the tracks as much as possible. By the time she felt she must be quite near, the whimpers had got quieter and infrequent. Hurrying her pace a little, Hermione soon realised they had stopped altogether.
"Fang?" She called out for the first time, putting aside her fears that someone would hear her with the greater worry that someone or something had found Fang.
Hermione stumbled upon a clearing with some flattened grass and animal tracks. Following the tracks, she finally saw in the distance a form bent over a large, fat shape, looking a bit like a beached seal.
"Fang!" she gasped quietly, surely too quietly for anyone from that distance away to hear. But the figure in the distance, which had been huddled over Fang with a hand upon his back and chanting some kind of spell, immediately stood up and swung round.
They were tall, and wearing a hooded cloak of grey. Hermione could see little else but for some reason started towards the stranger. They did, after all, have Fang.
"Who are you?" The hooded face asked, as soon as she was close enough to hear his voice.
"Her- Hermione Granger," she faltered, "and that's Hagrid's dog, Fang" she added, indicating the prostrate form behind them. "But who are you?"
Moving closer towards her, the stranger reached his hands up to lower his hood. Hermione took a step back; worried that the hooded figure was dangerous, but as she saw his face for the first time she realised he was not angry, nor even frightening.
It was the face of a - well, she wasn't quite sure what sort of creature he was. She couldn't remember seeing any pictures like him in a library book. He didn't look more than twenty years of age, and yet he had a bearing of wisdom and experience. His soft blonde hair was longer than Hermione's own, hiding ears that curved into a delicate point. He was handsome - that was something Hermione noticed straight away - with a clear impassive face that looked at her with interested grey eyes. He was dressed oddly, underneath the grey cloak his strange garments were all green or brown. Across his back a beautifully carved bow lay alongside a quiver of arrows.
"I am Legolas, son of Thranduil, of the race of elves. You are of the race of man, but you should not be here, Hermione daughter of Granger. This forest is dangerous for you; dark eyes watch your every step. The trees say it is so."
"Huh?" Said Hermione.
The elf turned his head sharply into the darkness of the forest, as if he had heard a noise, although Hermione had heard none.
"You should leave," he repeated.
"Not without Fang," she said stubbornly.
"The animal is hurt, attacked by some greater beast. But I must heal his ills before he can safely move."
Hermione was touched by his apparent sympathy for a foreign animal, and more than a little endeared by his earnest manner. But even so, she had learnt long ago that no stranger could be absolutely trusted, and her head was telling her that it could quite easily have been the handsome stranger that injured Fang.
"Listen, Mr, um, Legolas? I don't think that - "
Just as she began to speak Hermione was interrupted by a curious wailing sound, half way between a shriek and a growl, coming from deep inside the forest. Her companion immediately spun round, an arrow already strung on his bow as his eyes spotted something in the darkness, and he fired.
A distant cry told them that his shot had been accurate.
"How did you…?" Hermione began as the elf stood alert and listening, a second arrow already in place.
"We should leave, as I said, this forest is dangerous. Whatever it was that attacked this hound would attack you also. From which direction did you come?"
"From the school. From Hogwarts. The grounds are just the other side of the trees."
"Then I will accompany you as far as the leaves extend. But let us go quickly!"
Hermione then watched in amazement as the strange elf then picked up Fang as easily as she would a teddy-bear and hoisted him under his arm.
Without another word, Hermione followed him.
"So you're an Elf? But you're nothing like Dobby or any of the other house-elves. I don't remember seeing anyone like you "An Illustrated Guide to Mythical Creatures". Where do you come from?"
"I know not of the House-Elves you speak of. I am of the ancient and long-forgotten Elves of Middle Earth. Most of our kind have long since left their lands, long before the earth moved and all that was familiar changed its form. I myself would be with them now, were it not for some powerful magic that sent me here. That truly is a riddle worth solving."
Hermione thought very carefully. Everything he said was like a riddle to her. She couldn't fathom what he meant by 'Middle Earth' or when the earth 'changed it's form'. But she did realise that this must all have happened a very long time ago.
"If you don't mind me asking, Mr.. um Legolas? How old are you exactly?"
"Many thousands of years by your way of reckoning, but to us time is of little importance. Centuries pass by in the same vein as hours."
"You mean, you're immortal?"
"An Elf can die in battle, or when he no longer wishes to live, if truth be told."
Hermione's heart seemed to skip a beat.
"Ohhh! That's so romantic!"
His only reply to that was to look at her curiously, his firmly set mouth twitching slightly, threatening to smile for the first time. Slowing his pace, he looked around them and said,
"We are approaching the edge of the forest. I must aid the hound if you are both to leave here together."
Putting down the heavy lump that was Fang, he gently went to work on the poor animal's wounds. Hermione set herself down on an old tree stump and watched him in silence. He spoke in a strange language to Fang; one that Hermione supposed was some ancient elvish tongue. It was almost musical in quality, and strangely restful to hear.
But as Hermione gladly relaxed in the pleasantness of this unique meeting, she realised there were no longer just three of them in their section of the wood.
Before Hermione had time to scream, a strong, disgusting arm went around her mouth and another took firm hold of her arm. Struggling against her silent attacker, Hermione began to kick out. Wildly moving her body in any direction she could, her heart pounding with fear.
"Mmmm MMMmmm Mmm!" She tried to scream, but couldn't. The filthy hand over her mouth just forced out mumbling noises. Terrified, she tried desperately to get the attention of her companion, as four more of her assailant's friends came to join them.
Why wasn't the elf helping her? She couldn't even see him now. He seemed to have blended into the trees somehow. That, or left her altogether, to be attacked alone. Her wand was in her pocket, but her arms were tightly bound to her side by her attacker. Just as she was starting to despair…
Whooosh! An arrow, sent from a very short distance away shimmered past Hermione's hair and into the chest of the creature that was holding her. An awful cry and a loosening grip set her free and her hand went immediately to her pocket.
"Stupefy!" She called loudly at the intruder on her left. The miserable looking creature fell to the ground with a thud.
"Well done, my lady," called the voice of Legolas, appearing from the shade of a large tree. His bow was strung with two arrows, which quickly took care of two more of the creatures, each of them catching an arrowhead in the throat.
As his two friends went down, the last remaining assailant launched himself on the elf, running up behind him.
"Legolas, look OUT!" Hermione cried, but Legolas had already swung himself round, in the process pulling out two long curved knives, which soon worsted the hapless creature before him.
"Oh my," Hermione gasped, quite bewildered, putting one hand to her head. She was feeling quite faint with all this bloodshed, but she didn't want him to know that. "What were those things?" She asked.
"Yrch!" He answered, in his own tongue, making the word sound like a swear word to Hermione. "Orcs, your people would call them."
"Orcs," Hermione said slowly, getting her breath back, "I've never heard of them."
"They died out many ages ago. There should no longer be any here that much is certain. Whatever magic it was that brought me here would bring these enemies too, I fear."
"But they - " Hermione was interrupted by the sudden growling of Fang, who appeared to have recovered from his ordeal.
The dog leapt into the trees behind him, barking furiously. They heard a bite, and another agonised cry, and a solitary arrow went swerving away from them both, knocked off its course. Legolas and Hermione rushed after Fang and found him tearing at the leg of a sixth orc, a bow still gripped in its hand, despite the pain in its leg.
"Fang, no! You'll get hurt again!" Hermione cried out, the dog letting go briefly at the sound of her voice. It was time enough for the Orc, which began to scamper away the minute its leg was free. But the elf was too quick, and an arrow in the back of its head stopped it dead in its tracks.
Hermione was quite speechless this time, and allowed Legolas to take her arm to draw her away from the strewn bodies and back in the direction of the school. He gave Fang a comradely pat, and the animal, now quite recovered, trotting along beside them, confident he had done his duty admirably.
Hermione, feeling much safer to be moving away from danger, especially with the alert eyes of her companion watching closely the dark trees, reflected on what had just happened. It wasn't her first meeting with murderous creatures. But, Hermione realised to herself, it was possibly the first time when she had not been preoccupied with protecting Harry from danger, and had time to think about her own. The first time that someone had been preoccupied with protecting her, rather than someone else. And, despite the fact that she was a courageous and little soul, that feeling was quite refreshing. Of course it didn't hurt that her rescuer was so decorative either. Or that he had superhuman capabilities. In fact, it was pretty cool.
"So…um," Hermione turned to Legolas, "do elves ever get married then?"
The tall elf turned to her and smiled.
"They do, but rarely to mortals."
"Oh?" Hermione voice sounded disappointed. "Why's that then?"
"We're here," was all Legolas replied, indicating the shape of Hogwarts castle in the distance. "I will leave you now," he explained, "You will be safe. I must return to the heart of the forest and seek answers to the riddles hidden there. And if I am right, perhaps I will come across some old friends."
The Elf's face had a wistful expression upon it, as he spoke these words, and Hermione was touched by it.
"Will you be safe," she asked, "what with Orcs and who-knows what else in there? I'm sure Professor Dumbledore - "
" - The trees will hide me, and I have more chance of finding the answers I seek in the forest. But I must thank you for your help, Hermione. And return to you your weapon, you dropped it earlier."
Legolas stretched out a strong pale hand that was holding Hermione's wand. She must have lost it after she attacked the Orc.
"Thank you," she answered "but its not a weapon - it's a wand."
"You have good sense, young one, I wish you luck!" The elf replied, readjusting the bow in his hand.
"And you - Legolas!" Hermione called after him, as he retreated back into the shade of the trees.
"Well Fang!" She exclaimed to the dog next to her, "Who is going to believe us about any of that?"
But Fang was no help. He just barked and wagged his tail.
Harry and Ron couldn't quite bring themselves to believe everything that Hermione had told them. In fact, Ron was so surprised that he had stopped eating his roast beef.
"You mean he talks to trees?" He was asking Hermione.
"Not just trees. He made Fang better straight away, and he could shoot Orcs through the trees where it was too dark to see anything!"
"Sounds like a lucky shot to me…" mumbled Ron.
Harry was looking at Hermione carefully. She wouldn't have made all of this up just to annoy Ron. "Are you sure he wasn't dangerous, Hermione?" He asked.
"I've told you, he saved my life! And he kept talking about a riddle; he didn't know why he was in the Forbidden Forest. That's why he went back."
"Sounds like a nutter to me," Ron said, recovering, and helping himself to more potatoes. "Wandering round the forest, not knowing where he is, talking to trees… Think he's better off in there."
"Oh honestly, Ron!" Cried Hermione, visibly upset, "I'd forgotten how childish you can be some times. Its amazing the difference you see after spending the day with someone with a bit more maturity!" And Hermione stormed away from the Gryffindor table, without having had any pudding.
"And with someone who's named after plastic bricks!" Ron muttered, reaching for the apple crumble.

Diciannove in the City
We went there last week for lunch and I have to say that I have to say that we love Italy and we go there as much as we can.
The Refettorio is the ultimate Italian experience outside Italy. If you are looking for a genuine Italien experience, this is the place to be.
All the waiters are very friendly, using their Italien charme. And furthermore the food is outstanding.
Can't wait to go back there again!

You know how it feels to take the helping hand of your one and only enemy who you'd rather not see till the grave? Not that good really. Especially when that enemy is Ethan Kenneth Marks.
When I saw him standing in front of me with his hand stretched out, I couldn't help but feel a little brainwashed. My mind was completely in silence for a while as I contemplated on what to do. Take it or not? He grinned at me a little before putting his hand out a little further. Ah well, my opportunity for vengeance wouldn't pass quite yet. I had time.
I started dusting my gown as it looked so ancient and tattered thanks to my grand fall right when the front door opened and I heard Alexis gasp, "Lynette," in a very surprised manner. This was partly her fault after all but this didn't feel like the right moment for me to let my temper out on her.
I stood up straight and limped forward but another piercing pain surged through my leg. Wincing, I took hold of Ethan strongly as my support and smiled sweetly at Alexis.
"Hi Alexis. I was just welcoming our guests and since I was happy to see Ethan, I decided to give him a great. Big. Hug."
Then before he could stop me or push me away or do anything "Ethan-like" so as to avoid the pain that would follow, I wrapped my hands around his waist and gave him the most torturous, bone-crackling bear hug I could ever give. And to think of it, I think I even heard a small bone crack inside him. Ah well, that's enough for now. I sighed happily and released him, stepping back carefully but not letting go of my firm clutch on his arm. Grinning, I said warmly, "Now why don't you all come in?"
I let everyone pass through first, smiling widely at Mr. Marks who smiled back and a red-haired boy who winked at me before starting some conversation with Alexis. Ethan and I were the last to go in and I looked up at him, an evil glint in my eyes.
"Are you planning to murder me tonight?" He whispered to me as we entered my house.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be the death of you. Well, not until your lessons come to an end anyways."
His grimace only made me feel even happier. Oh I'm such a sadist.
"Lynette, can you come over to the kitchen for a second?" I heard Alex call me but in the state my foot was in, I knew that would be difficult considering the kitchen was a mile off. It was sometimes annoying to live in a castle-like house.
"Sorry Alex, I think I broke my foot. I'm not able to walk now!" I yelled back.
"I could help fix it." I looked up at the same red-haired guy in front of me who grinned a little too much. Why did I have the feeling that this guy was trouble?
"And who might this be Ethan?" I smiled kindly at the punk in front of me while tightening my clutch on Ethan's waist.
"That's – that's my cousin Riley," he said back, a little breathless.
"Pleasure finally meeting you. Ethan's told me so much about you; but he didn't include the fact that you'd be this charming," the little twerp said, taking hold of my hand. If it weren't for the fact that Ethan's father was standing a few feet away and conversing with my father, I would've smacked Riley on the face.
"Well, I bet Ethan didn't tell you how much of a little devil I could be," I said with a laugh but trying to put the message across that this guy was messing with the wrong girl.
"Ah that can't be true."
"You have no idea," Ethan muttered and I finally let go of him.
Giving him a piercing glare, I said, "Excuse me gentlemen."
I started limping towards the kitchen when I felt someone's hand go around my waist. "You need help," someone whispered. I was about to slap the punk's hand away [assuming it was Riley] when I noticed it was Ethan himself. With a sigh, I led him toward the kitchen where Alexis was waiting.
"Oh finally, there you are-"
But she froze mid-sentence when she saw who was with me.
"My dear sister! Don't you know its not right to bring your visitor to the kitchen?"
"He opted for it, not me," I muttered, finally stepping away from Ethan and sitting down on a chair.
With a sigh, Alexis rolled her eyes at me. "So are you going to help me set up the table or not?"
"With a dead foot, no thanks."
"I can help!" Riley stepped into the scene and I groaned. I shook my head at my sister, now knowing the kind of flirt Ethan's cousin was.
"No it's alright. You and Ethan go 'hang out', I'll take care of it."
But Riley just had to get his way and before I knew it, Ethan and I were alone in the kitchen. He looked at me and I avoided his gaze by focusing on the ground. The silence was broken eventually.
"Are you alright?"
I ignored him and got up, limping back towards my parents. I wanted to avoid him tonight even though I knew that sooner or later, one of us was going to approach the other.
Dinner went well. It was mostly my father and Ethan's, Alex and Riley that were doing the talking while I picked at my food and remained quiet. Alex kept looking at me and signaling me with my eyes as if to open my mouth and talk but what would I say? There was nothing of importance for me to talk about. And why was it me that Alex had to point to? Why not Ethan? Oh yeah, I forgot. He's the guest. She can't force him to talk but that's still not fai-
"Hey dad, did you know that the tutor that's help Lynette's grades sky rocket is Ethan?"
I choked on the wine that I'd sipped and thumped myself on the chest, coughing. I glared at Alexis who grinned at me and decided not to open my mouth just yet, afraid that bunch of curse words would come out. Instead, I settled with a grim smile over at Mr. Marks and my father who both looked pleasantly surprised.
"Ah well that's great! How long have two known each other?" The question was directed towards me and I took my time dabbing at my mouth with the kerchief before saying, "Just a few days."
"By few days you mean about four months right?" Riley said with a grin. "Ethan told me he was tutoring some chick but I didn't think she'd be you!"
I smiled back at Riley and shot one of my death glares at Ethan. So what, he tells the world I'm stupid; that's encouraging. My pessimism was starting to spread inside me.
"Well thanks to your son, my daughter is doing alarmingly well in her classes. I'm finally not concerned that she won't go to college," father said, booming with laughter. Everyone laughed along but I couldn't help go red with the way he'd just talked about me. It's not like I was failing that badly before, I would have been fine without him anyways.
I finished my dinner quickly and excused myself. Usually, the 'rules' applied that I'd have to stay till everyone was done with their meals but I didn't have the patience. I just wanted a breath of air before I got back in there.
Stepping out through the back door in the kitchen, I smiled a little as I breathed in deeply. A cool wind came through and I sighed a little happily but that was when I heard a voice behind me.
"We need to talk."
Ah crap. Here comes the end of the world.

The sky is black and she still isn't here.
I haven't gone anywhere near the heart of the party. I can't relax, or celebrate, when I'm waiting. This time I haven't touched the wine. I want to see if she's different when I'm sober.
The same part of the forest. The same stars. The same faces over there dancing together. No Genoveva. At least not yet. She seems just the sort of person to be late, I comfort myself. Anyway, so what if she doesn't come back? I'll live. I sit down on the same patch of daisies, arranging the folds of my skirts around me. This time it's a reddish-brown, hardly formal. I tried something knew with my hair, winding it over one shoulder. I have her bracelet. I should really give it back.
"Hester?" A voice from behind me.
But it's not Genoveva. The voice is the opposite- it is deep and scratchy, but beautiful.
I stand up and turn my head, and he's there. He who left me a month ago with no explanation.
He nods. "You can't have forgotten me."
"No." Never. "Why are you here?"
"I'm as lost as you are. Some woman brought me here." What?
"Where is she?" I ask. What would Genoveva do this for?
"She went to the party." Lorcan says. "Like any other person would."
And then I'm running, my eyes watering and Lorcan calling after me.

I hated this and tossed it to garbage even before I used it up completely.I don't have sensitive skin&eyes but this stuff is so harsh that it burns my eyes like crazy.It's not on the oily side imo,to me Helena Rubinstein's eye makeup remover is oily BUT super effective and gentle to use on the eye area.But this is totally the opposite,it's more like watery-texture wise.Anyways no matter what its texture is,it burns! I don't even want to think how much pain this can cause for sensitive eyes.So beware!

Flash Fiction fans rejoice! Independent publisher Untreed Reads releases two new short stories, showcasing the breadth of America's vibrant short story scene. Both titles now available wherever eBooks are sold.
When Officer David Zellner is called in to investigate a burglary at a jewelry store, he soon discovers that although the employees and owner seem happy on the outside, each of them has their own motive for the crime. Zellner soon discovers that in the jewelry business, not all that glitters is gold. A work of super-short crime from our Fingerprints line.
Rekha is the author of numerous flash and short crime stories. Rekha's first appearance with Untreed Reads was with the flash fiction work Parting Shot.
Cynthia felt the time had come to tell the young boy the truth of his name, and of the fateful day of his birth. Time to tell the story of her beloved Olivia, a beautiful and vibrant woman full of love and happiness. Friend, lover, wife, savior—she would have been a great mother had she survived. So, Cynthia pulls her little boy onto her lap and recalls the day ten years ago; of Cynthia's pain, Olivia's parting words, and a baby's powerful will to live despite his small and frail body. Today, the boy will learn why Mother's Day means so much to Cynthia. A short story from our Nibs literary line.

Just Like Everyone Else
A short story I wrote for a competition but never made it to the shortlist. Would love critique, whether positive or negative. I think the best way of describing this is to say it considers the concept of life.
Just like everyone else.
The snow was piling up. A perfect white blanket hugging the ground, hiding the green of the grass and conifers that defy the cold and still grow bright and green. The roads were suddenly a death trap, the snow being flattened into ice and letting anyone slide wildly out of control. The sun would barely rise into the sky, venturing out carefully before deciding that it was too cold and running back under the horizon and to the hot countries on the other side of the world. A typical winter like any other.
It was during a typical winter like this one that a baby girl was born, like hundreds of others. This baby looked like any other. The round face and soft skin that seemed to be a little bit too big for her, closed eyes and a small tuft of fuzz planted on top of her head. The parents were married and happy, and as they left the doctors felt happy as another joyous family was made and sent out into the world to learn and love.
This baby slept, cried, whined during the teething stage, was curious, had toys and laughed just like any other baby. Her eyes went from blue to a lovely brown, and her tuft of hair spread over her head and shone like gold. She grew into her skin and her smile would light up her face and the entire room. Just like any other baby.
And this baby grew, learnt to walk and talk, skip, jump, ride a bike, and play with friends. Once she came out of the toddler period and started school her life became slightly different. Her name was Abigail. She was a petite character, her mother liked calling her a 'little fairy.' She liked Barbies and Harumika, Hama beads and pink jewellery. Her favourite dress was the purple velvet one with silver sequins along the collar and sleeves and some more that made a flower in the middle of the torso. She always wore it with silver buckle sandals and a silver flower clip in her hair.
But today, her favourite purple dress is at home, and instead she is wrapped up in a thick pink winter coat with fur lining the hood and black suede boots over dark blue tights. A grey woollen hat with pink cat ears sits snugly on her head with matching gloves and a scarf wrapped tightly around her neck in the way only a mother knows how. She is seven at this point, and has been at her friend's house. They live on the same estate and now Abigail is walking home, being careful while she is walking on the icy pavement with a gift bag with a Christmas present inside. It's already getting dark and cold and she is dreaming of a hot stew that her dad loves to make at this time of year. He always says that the stew warms you up right to the bones. After tea, she is planning cup of hot chocolate with mini marshmallows in her snowman mug and playing Trivial Pursuit with her parents and big sister. Of course, she knows always win, she always does.
She stops to cross the road, and looks both ways like everyone is supposed to. Completely clear except for a few patches of ice. But Abigail isn't paying full attention and doesn't hear the car coming round the corner. She doesn't know that the car is speeding down the road. Or that it is being controlled by a man who has had five whiskeys too many. The pub landlord tried to stop him but there was a rush for hot pies and pints of lager and the man slipped out without any fuss. Now he is just trying to get home, and he doesn't notice the icy road that is making his tyres lose grip. And he won't slow down. He will skid round the corner and slide along the road into the wall that Abigail is standing in front of.
Except a boy turns up, the annoying next-door neighbour called Ben who likes to spray Abigail from over the wall in the summer and throw sugary snacks into her garden to attract bees. In the winter he has to be imaginative, in fact once he went into the garden before bedtime and poured some water onto the patio so it would freeze into a puddle of ice overnight, except Abigail's dad saw and told Ben's dad. The next day he was forced to write a letter of apology.
But today there are no parents to tell him off, and he sees her standing at the edge of the road. His eyes narrow on the gift bag and his eyes sparkle with the joy of a perfect opportunity. The gift bag is in her hand, but the fingers are curled loosely around the handles. It would be too easy for him to run over and grab the bag and then disappear. His walking shoes would give more grip than the terrible boots she is wearing, so he could run off while she would either shuffle after him or run and fall over. He could already hear her sounds of frustrations and squirms with pleasure at the thought of getting one over her.
He makes the decision easily and sneaks over silently. She doesn't look around, her focus is on the road. Ben stifles a chuckle and reaches out for the straps. Again she doesn't realise he is there. One more movement and he has the bag. Abigail looks up in surprise and her eyes find the culprit standing right in front of her. Ben can't help but laugh as he watches the confusion in her eyes turn into pure frustration.
"Ben!" He realises then that her voice gets so whiney and high-pitched when she is annoyed. Normally it would grate through his ears but today it sounds like a choir of angels to him.
Ben can't help but carry on laughing and runs down the pavement. Abigail sprints after him, ignoring the treacherous ice to catch up with Ben and punish him for ruining her good mood. She snatches some snow from the wall as she run past and throws it at his head. It arcs through the air, some falling away but a lump satys intact and…bulls eye. Ben spins around, laughter gone and annoyance making him frown when he sees the dirty red car skid around the corner. His hand flies out towards Abigail as he watches it fly towards her, "Look out!"
Abigail looks around and stares at the metal machine aim at her. Her feet stumble back but in no particular direction. She can't move out of the way fast enough. The driver doesn't see her. Fear freezes her like the ice she is standing on. That's when she feels someone grab the fur-lined hood of her coat and yank her back with all their strength. She slams onto the ice and slides away from the out-of-control car as it crashes side-first into the brick wall with a deafening crunch . The front folds in on itself and the door crumples under the force. A pause of silence, broken by the lights that start going off and an alarm screeching through the streets.
Abigail can do nothing but stare at the wreckage that nearly killed her. She was alive. But how was that possible? The motion of falling plays through her head. No, not falling, she was dragged. By who? She looks away from the wall and sees Ben next to her. She registers that his normally annoying smug face is filled with concern and his cheeks are flushed. She nods and moves to get up, and his arm tries to help her up. They are silent for a second, unsure of what to do. Ben holds out the stolen gift bag with her present inside. A small smile crosses her face and she takes it, nodding to him again to say thanks.
"See you, smelly." Ben attempts to sneer, but the venom clearly isn't in his voice.
"Says you." Abigail counters, but the small smile is still on her face. They walk across the road as adults race to the car to see the damage and the state of the driver inside. It was clear they are trying to make it like the incident had never happened; to make it look like they still hated each other and that it would never change. And yet, when Abigail gets older, whenever she sees him playing football or is about to cross the road in front of that wall, she can't help but think about that evening. And she knows that she will never be able to forget that the annoying boy next door who ambushed her, made bees attack her garden and stole her stuff was the same boy that had saved her life that dark day so close to Christmas.

Wells Fargo & Co. is keeping busy on the digital payments front this summer.
In late May, the bank announced it will launch a mobile wallet in the coming months. Last week, the bank joined the clearXchange realtime payments network, and will offer instant P2P payments starting August 1.
Ahead of the earnings release next week, the two projects are a "primary focus" for the bank, but are not the only payments initiatives in the works, Ben Soccorsy, head of digital payments for Wells Fargo Virtual Channels, told Bank Innovation.
The payments space is evolving fast, and we need to make sure we are staying on top of it. So we are constantly looking at things like Amazon Alexa as ways to serve our customers and make banking easier. Banking through Facebook Messenger is a category we are interested in. Facebook's got a tremendous number of users, and we constantly look to see where our customers are to provide the "anytime, anywhere" banking experience.
Soccorsy did not comment on any specific collaboration efforts at this time. In fact, among the larger banks, Citigroup's the only one so far to reveal ongoing project with Amazon, developing in-app Alexa features.
For now, Wells is boosting its core app features to support instant payments, and the upcoming Wells Fargo Pay.
We have been building out customer experience related to this for some time. [Instant payments] is a necessary new feature and it was a natural evolution for our payments business. We believe that the clearXchange partnership and member banks have clear and distinct value propositions. Overall, the goal is to bring other banks into the network, and drive to more ubiquitous participation.
Real-time international payments are also on Wells's radar for "when it makes sense for the customers," and blockchain technology offers interesting opportunities in that regard, Soccorsy said (and Santander may confirm that ).
With the mobile wallet launch, the bank expects features like before- and after-purchase balance checks, as well as advance risk and fraud detection systems to drive widespread adoption. The bank currently has more than 17 million mobile users.1 - Reader Likes This Post

Wheaton College will follow other religious institutions by filing a lawsuit against the Obama administration's contraception mandate, president Philip Ryken will announce Wednesday morning. The college's suit in the D.C. District Court will be one of the more high-profile actions by an evangelical institution.
Health and Human Services announced in August 2011 that organizations would be required to provide contraception to their employees as part of the health care law President Obama signed. Religious institutions began filing lawsuits in December after it became clear the administration would not provide an exemption for religious institutions that are not churches.
"This morning, the Board of Trustees filed a lawsuit in the Washington, D.C. District Court opposing the mandate, which, if enacted, would force the College to violate its religious beliefs or pay severe fines," Ryken wrote in an e-mail to Wheaton's faculty and staff. "We are joining with Catholic University of America in order to demonstrate that a deep concern for the sanctity of human life and a strong belief in the importance of religious freedom are areas of commonality that transcend our theological differences."
Ryken said that the list of approved contraceptives includes "abortifacient 'morning after' and 'week after' drugs, presumably referring to contraceptives such as Plan B and Ella.
"I have every hope that Wheaton College will continue to provide excellent health care to all of its employees," he said in the e-mail. "However, we stand to face punitive fines for not complying with the HHS regulations as of January 1, 2013."
