Canon PowerShot G1 X: new king of fixed-lens cameras?
It was going to be hard for any camera, G-series successor or otherwise, to top the Canon PowerShot G12. However, Canon may have just shot the moon with the new PowerShot G1 X.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

The most comprehensive and authoritative rating of employee engagement in the federal government.Learn More
The annual Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings are produced by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service. The 2016 rankings include the views of more than 421,000 civil servants from 379 federal organizations on a wide range of workplace topics.
Since the first rankings were released in 2003, they have provided a mechanism to hold agency leaders accountable for the health of their organizations; serve as an early warning sign for agencies in trouble; and offer a roadmap for improvement.
For a second year in a row, we expanded on the traditional Best Places to Work rankings of large, midsize, small and agency subcomponents by placing a select group of agencies into five mission areas: public health, law enforcement and border protection, national security, energy and environment, and infrastructure.Learn More

Forex: EUR opens down 15 pips vs. Greenback, Dollar up on jobless
FXstreet.com (London) - Major US stock indices traded broadly positive on upbeat jobless claims. The DOW and S+P both consolidated gains this session. Nikkei opened gapped open to the upside off the back of US gains, gaining over 60bps
In early Asian trading the Dollar was flat across its major pairs today, broad picture looks like this: EUR/USD 1.4424/25 (+0.12%), Swissy 1.0261/64 (-0.14%), Cable 1.6153/57 (+0.22%), USD/JPY 92.34/35 (+0.03%).
EUR/USD has reversed direction and moves against of the Euro. Dollar confidence was boosted earlier today, when US jobless claims fell for the third time. Investors will extrapolate that these positive figures will also infer increasing likelihood of positive NFP data on Friday.
Valeria Bednarik, collaborator at FXstreet.com guides us on the technicals: while pair moving in a small consolidation range between 1.4300/1.4335 for the past hours. Ahead of U.S. employment data, investors could remain cautious during current session, keeping the pair range bound. Regional stock markets have mildly positive lead from U.S. stocks.
The pair is down almost 15 pips from the open and currently trades at 1.4306/8

It was a strange place, that dance school, tucked away from the world outside by a mile-long drive and consisting of several large, ramshackle buildings, joined together by a precarious network of covered passageways, corridors and tunnels. In the winter, when it rained and the bitter weather caused the water to freeze, students had been known to slip on the ice while trying to make their way to lessons, so classes usually finished in early December.
It was now June, and the annual show was fast approaching. Emma and Kate were both performing, but in separate groups, and they were constantly rehearsing and practicing and rehearsing and practising, all day long. Every evening when they returned to the dorms they were shattered, fit only to collapse onto the bed -- and then they had to go down to dinner, a taxing chore when they were that exhausted.
But the fatigue was nothing knew, because it was like that all year through. Take a regular week in Emma's timetable, for example. On Mondays, the morning would be dedicated to the core subjects such as English, Maths and Science, which were compulsory despite the fact it was a dance school. At twelve o'clock they had French, and at one o'clock it was lunch time. In the afternoon, she would head to the dance studio for her ballet class, which lasted for an hour and a half, before returning to the dorms for a quick shower.
From there she made her way to the gym for an Irish dancing class, two hours long. Ballet was just a cross-training exercise, nothing serious, despite the fact that she was at a high level and was perfectly qualified to dance en pointe if necessary. Each girl specialised in something different: Emma and Kate were among the Irish dancers, Danielle and Elizabeth did Ballet, Eleanor and Beatrice were into tap ... the list went on.
After the dance class, Emma had to attend two more 'real' lessons -- usually History and ICT on a Monday, although it varied greatly. Dinner followed soon after, and homework after that. There was little time for relaxation, but as Kate said, "The dance is our relaxation. It's what we love to do."
Understandably, many of the girls that attended such a strange place were rich. It was merely a coincidence, since the fees were relatively low and almost fifty percent of the students had achieved a scholarship to attend, although of course it could have been that to dance in the first place they would have needed money for classes. But they all pulled together, arguments were few and enemies even fewer.
Yet it was not a normal place, because there was one room that nobody ever went into.

Linked Data-as-a-Service: The Semantic Web Redeployed
Ad-hoc querying is crucial to access information from Linked Data, yet publishing queryable RDF datasets on the Web is not a trivial exercise. The most compelling argument to support this claim is that the Web contains hundreds of thousands of data documents, while only 260 queryable SPARQL endpoints are provided. Even worse, the SPARQL endpoints we do have are often unstable, may not comply with the standards, and may differ in supported features. In other words, hosting data online is easy, but publishing Linked Data via a queryable API such as SPARQL appears to be too difficult. As a consequence, in practice, there is no single uniform way to query the LOD Cloud today. In this paper, we therefore combine a large-scale Linked Data publication project (LOD Laundromat) with a low-cost server-side interface (Triple Pattern Fragments), in order to bridge the gap between the Web of downloadable data documents and the Web of live queryable data. The result is a repeatable, low-cost, open-source data publication process. To demonstrate its applicability, we made over 650,000 data documents available as data APIs, consisting of 30 billion triples.

"My beautiful ring from Angara! It's GORGEOUS!"
We had a "CUSTOM" 14kt white gold 7.5 inch length MOISSANITE Tennis Bracelet made from this style and it is absolutely beautiful. The MOISSANITE stone quality is excellent as is the workmanship of the bracelet. Staff works with you when you want to create your own design and the price points are very reasonable. Best place to shop if you want quality in the product and the workmanship.
"My experience with Angara was great. I got to work with a great jeweler, Barbara Stein and got the color stone and size I wanted. I also got the ring size I wanted that fits me perfectly. I love my ring so much! The customer service was great also and I also love how the rings are not already made they are handmade. It came really fast also when you select overnight shipping for $20. I will definitely use Angara again."
-Elizabeth Abramson
"The whole experience was great. Consider me a repeat customer!"
"Actually I wanted to share my nice moments after proposal. There is good news and very good news. Which one you want to hear first?:) Ok, good is that ring size I selected is perfect on her finger (it is her first ring overall!). And very good news-she said YES with happy tears in her face .(unforgettable moment)."
"If you prefer to forgo birth stones, I would suggest something in a deep holiday, wintry hue like this garnet necklace. I'm a huge fan of dainty jewelry as it can pair with almost anything and adds an air of elegance to any outfit."
-Julie Hiller (Joules)
"I chose to have my pendant's metal set in 14k yellow gold, but you can also choose from silver or 14k white gold. Also, you can select up to 5 gemstones. An 18″ chain is shipped for free with the pendant."
-Andrea Perullo (Andi)
"Just wanted to thank you for helping make this ring "the" ring. What I wanted was the perfect ring for her and you helped me match up reality with what was rattling around in my head. She absolutely loves it! I love it, and it looks good on her too!"
"I paired this oval garnet diamond necklace from Angara with the dress since the colors complemented one another nicely. It is a lovely delicate piece set in sterling silver that shines with a garnet pendant surrounded by tiny diamonds that give off a subtle sparkle. This would be a fabulous birthstone gift for any January babies or anyone who loves quality jewelry that you could wear everyday. I love the garnet stone for this time of the year. The deep red reminds me of berries!"
-Amanda Brezovsky
"I must say, when the beautiful package arrived to my door, I was immediately in love with my Garnet gemstone pendant. I can't wait to wear my birthstone in such a chic style. It is the perfect size, style, and you can definitely see the quality in the cut of the piece."
-Rachel Trampel
"This pair of 14k white gold fashion earrings are perfect to wear whether you are a mother or not and make a lovely gift option for any special occasion. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received on them since I started wearing them!"
"I just want to say 'thank you' for going above and beyond with helping me finally get the right ring for my daughter and future husband.. I appreciate your fantastic customer service."
"This ring was a gift to myself as a present for all I have been through in 3 years surviving a let go from my old job, moving onto a new job, getting a divorce after a 15 yr marriage came to a halt- which is now final, and dealing with my newly retired mother 😊. Big milestones. My birthday is October 5th 1976. I have never owned a ring which was made by a jeweler. Sad to say, but even my wedding ring was from my ex husband's deceased step grandfather. The engagement ring was selected and initially paid for by my mother in law and then paid off by myself. It was 2 sizes 2 big. Replaced then by a cheap ring from Overstock.com 10 kt white gold supposedly which took on the sheen of weathered steel after a year.
So guess what! You can imagine my heartfelt inner peace putting on this absolutely gorgeous ring. Thank you so much for your personal assistance and touch with my order."
"I just wanted to say thanks; you guys did a phenomenal job on the blue sapphire engagement ring."
"It came! I love it!"
"OMG! I JUST GOT ENGAGED – black diamonds are my favorite!! I love you Chris Ferrand I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you!!"

Shares of Google (GOOG) moved up nearly 3% in early trading Friday, following the company's mixed Q1 report that showed shrinking revenue at Motorola Mobility but gave Wall Street hope about a new "X-Phone" and mobile ads.
"While MMI results came in weak (again), core Google results came in almost exactly in line with our estimates," wrote RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney in a research note.
Google late Thursday reported EPS minus items of $11.58, up 15% and better than the $10.64 that Wall Street had expected.
Sales excluding what Google pays other websites to carry its ads were an even $11.01 billion, shy of the expected $11.1 billion.
Google showed "strong click growth" in mobile ads, wrote JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth. Enhanced campaigns and product listing ads, which are now part of the Google Shopping initiative, also are showing "positive" signs, he wrote.
Click volume grew a "healthy" 20%, Cowen & Co. analyst John Blackledge wrote in a research note.
But Motorola Mobility, the smartphone maker that Google bought last year, continued losing money, and its revenue fell vs. the prior quarter. Google cut 1,165 employees at Motorola in Q1, giving it 9,982 full-time staffers, notes Baird Equity Research analyst Colin Sebastian.
"Overall, we view the streamlining as positive given that new products with Google 'DNA' will most likely appear in 2H 2013," wrote Sebastian, who rates Google stock as outperform, or buy.
CEO Larry Page, on a conference call with analysts on Thursday, hinted that new Motorola products would have tough exteriors that wouldn't "shatter" when you drop them.
"It is too early to tell if Motorola is on a path to profitability, but we remain optimistic about the X-phone, which we expect in" the second half of 2013, wrote Jefferies Equity Research analyst Brian Pitz in a research note.
At least three investment banks hiked their price target on Google. Canaccord raised its target to 890 from 830. Needham & Co. raised to 900 from 850. And Oppenheimer's target rose to 820 from 765. Google was trading near 788 in the stock market today.
Google's one of several big Internet advertising companies — including Yahoo (YHOO) and Facebook (FB) — that are looking to capitalize on smartphone ads. Any new Google phone would compete with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, as well as phones that run a version of Google Android modified for Facebook users.

SAG HARBOR: SECRECY BILL IS PUT ASIDE -- The trustees of the village of Sag Harbor on Tuesday put aside a law to punish any village officer or employee who talks publicly about discussions in the board's executive sessions. Some trustees questioned what, if anything, could be considered too sensitive to be publicly discussed in the village of 2,100 people on Long Island's East End. An early draft of the bill, since rejected, sought to jail offenders for up to 15 days or fine them $250. The vote on a weaker version was called off after the State Committee on Open Government found such prohibitions of ''questionable legality,'' said Rosemarie Cary Winchell, the village clerk. Al Baker (NYT)
BUFFALO: RIFLE USED IN KILLING IS TRACED -- A pawnshop owner in Nashville remembers selling a Russian-made rifle to a man identified by the F.B.I. as James C. Kopp, the former fugitive charged with the 1998 killing of a Buffalo-area doctor who performed abortions, according to a published report. The F.B.I. traced the rifle to the A-Z Pawn Shop in 1998, the report said. The shop's owner, Patricia Osborne, told agents that she sold the Russian SKS rifle on July 16, 1997, to a man who showed a Virginia driver's license with the name B. James Milton. Ms. Osborne told The Buffalo News in a telephone interview, ''I don't remember what it cost, but SKS rifles go anywhere from $50 to $200.'' (AP)
ALBANY: NEW HEALTH CAMPAIGN -- The State Department of Health is spending $500,000 on a public service campaign to encourage people to plan for long-term care in their old age. The radio, television and newspaper campaign was developed by the Long Term Care Partnership, a consortium of government agencies and the private insurance industry. Under the partnership, some Medicaid recipients are eligible for long-term care coverage. The first ads will be in English and Spanish, and Chinese and Russian versions are to follow.

WHITE PLAINS: INTERNET PEDOPHILIA IS ALLEGED -- A school official was arrested yesterday on charges that he engaged in sexually explicit online conversations with someone he believed was a 14-year-old Westchester boy, said Jeanine F. Pirro, the Westchester County district attorney. The official, Stephen Graeber, 55, is an assistant schools superintendent and had at least three such conversations in the last month during school hours from his office at the Brewster Central School District, prosecutors said. Mr. Graeber is the 38th person arrested as part of Mrs. Pirro's investigation into Internet sex crimes. David W. Chen (NYT)Continue reading the main story
MANHATTAN: 3 IN PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE ARRESTED -- Three maintenance workers for the Manhattan district attorney's office have been arrested on drug charges, officials said yesterday. Investigators said they found narcotics last week in the home of one of the cleaners, Wilfredo Gonzalez, and later found cocaine inside a desk drawer in the district attorney's offices. Two of Mr. Gonzalez's co-workers used the desk to hide drugs they had found in his locker, investigators believe. Mr. Gonzalez has been fired, and his co-workers have been suspended and are likely to be fired. Barbara Thompson, a spokesman for the district attorney, said there was no evidence that Mr. Gonzalez was involved in drug sales. Kevin Flynn (NYT)
ARMONK: SCHOOL CLOSES AFTER THREAT -- Byram Hills High School was closed yesterday after a student received an e-mail threat, the police said. The school was searched, but no guns, explosives or other tangible threats were found. Lt. William Fischer of the North Castle police said no one was arrested. The names of the person making the threat and the one who received it were not immediately released. Judith Fox, superintendent of the Byram Hills Central School District, said classes would resume today with officers patrolling the halls. (NYT)
MANHATTAN: OFFICER ADMITS DRUG TRAFFICKING -- A New York City police officer pleaded guilty yesterday to heroin and cocaine trafficking charges, the United States attorney's office said. The officer, Willie Parson, was a homicide detective assigned to the Manhattan North Homicide Task Force. He admitted conspiring with other officers to act as couriers for Dominican narcotics traffickers in Washington Heights. Mr. Parson and two officers who pleaded guilty in February, Detective Steven Fuller and a retired officer, Philip Moog, face a maximum penalty of life in prison and a $4 million fine. Hope Reeves (NYT)
NEW LONDON: EX-TAX COLLECTOR FACES PRISON -- A former tax collector who the police said gambled nearly a million dollars at the Foxwoods Resort Casino has pleaded no contest to charges that she embezzled more than $300,000 from the town of Ledyard, where she worked as collector for 14 years. The former official, Yvonne Bell, 64, was charged with first-degree larceny in October after a six-month state police investigation. Police found that she had gambled $900,000 at Foxwoods since late 1997. Ms. Bell's plea agreement, filed Tuesday, recommends an 18-month sentence and five years' probation. She is to be sentenced May 15. (NYT)
HARTFORD: OFFENDER LAW TO BE AMENDED -- A federal judge's ruling overturning part of the state's new law establishing an online sex-offender registry prompted lawmakers yesterday to offer amendments to the law. On Monday, Judge Robert Chatigny of Federal District Court ruled that the registry violated the rights of some ''nondangerous registrants'' because they had no way to appeal. The speaker of the House, Moira K. Lyons, a Democrat, proposed an amendment to allow registrants to petition a judge to be removed from the list. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said he would appeal the ruling. Paul Zielbauer (NYT)
MARLBORO: FIRST CELL PHONE SANCTIONS -- The police have taken the first action in the state against automobile drivers who use hand-held cell phones while driving. Marlboro adopted the ban in July. The police issued the first summons on Tuesday and a second summons yesterday. The driver who received the second summons ''continued talking right up until he got out of his car,'' the officer said. The violations carry fines of up to $250.

Boytonrath is a townland in the barony of Middle Third (South Tipperary), Ireland. It is completely rural today and the nearest town is New Inn. It is also part of the Roman Catholic parish of New Inn & Knockgraffon in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. In the past though, it was a parish in its own right. It appears in early modern to 18th century records as having a considerable population, relative to the time.
The families most associated with Boytonrath are the Tobins and the Loughnanes (O'Loughlins). These have evidently dwelt here from at least the 17th century, and are listed as being the chief occupants of the Middle Third[1] (and almost certainly of Boytonrath) in William Petty's 1659 Down Survey.[2]
One large farmhouse, which is still occupied (by Loughnanes), dates from the 1640s or before. Also present are the ruined foundations of a once impressive castle. Of considerable interest, too, is a small ruined church and its graveyard, which has several well preserved headstones erected by families still resident in the area (including O'Donnells, Loughnanes and Tobins) which date from the 1700s.
A branch of the Butler family were settled here in the seventeenth century, but following the Irish Rebellion of 1641 relocated to County Clare. Sir Theobald Butler, Solicitor General for Ireland to King James II, was its most celebrated member.

At a meeting Tuesday, the 10-member Air Improvement Resources Executive Committee, made up of area county judges, county commissioners and mayors, said it would like to see an investigation into a vehicle inspection and maintenance program that could test vehicle emissions, possibly before next summer. "I think that would be more effective than trying to change people's daily habits," Comal County commissioner and committee member Jay Minikin said. Depending on the type of program implemented, costs for inspections could more than double from the current fee of $12.50. But something needs to be done to clean MILLIKIN up the air in the San Antonio region, committee member and San Antonio Mayor Howard Peak said. Others agreed. "Cars emit pollution all year," said Chris Treutler, a committee advisory member and USAA president. "In the summer, it cooks it into the ozone. But we breathe it all year." The committee is considering a measure similar to one that could be implemented anyway, albeit in several years. The San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Comal, Bexar, Guadalupe and Wilson counties, has exceeded federal airSee FEES/3A 1-35 narrowed to one lane today between FM 306, Ruekle Road From staff reports North and southbound traffic on Interstate 35 will be narrowed to one lane today between Ruekle Road and Farm-to-Market Road 725. Michelle Kopp, assistant area engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation, said the outside lanes in both directions would be closed at 8 a.m. and then would be opened again about 5 p.m. Kopp said TxDOT was narrowing the northbound side of I-35 to one lane to patch worn areas. Crews also will be picking up litter and other debris. The southbound lane will be closed to let road crews pick up trash, including rubber from passing tractor-trailers, along the outside lane. Kopp said traffic would be returned to two lanes on both sides on Friday. Group won't get state funds for hike, bike trail By Peri Stone-Palmquist Staff Writer State money won't fund a hike and bike trail from Landa Park to Walnut Avenue in the near future, but other trails are still in the running for state public enhancement grants. Comal County Trails, Inc., the nonprofit group working on the grant applications, pulled one of its four proposals recently when the state "asked for things we couldn't give," vice-president David Stinchcomb said. The Texas Department of Transportation, which is administering the grants, requested approval from all property owners living along the proposed trail route — in this case, along the Dry Comal Creek between Landa Park in front of Wursthalle and continuing to Walnut Avenue. The group will continue to seek funds for a 3/4 mile Little League access trail, a 4.6-mile Loop 337 trail and a 8.8-mile urban bike network, looping from Landa Park to the Faust Street Bridge to Gruene. With a tentative blessing from New Braunfels City Council, Comal County Trails, Inc. applied for the funding in August, but was recently given a two-week deadline to provide "additional details," Stinchcomb said. TxDOT officials asked for several items, including a map of the loop project and further clarification from the city regarding its commitment. In July, city council members tentatively approved the four projects but voiced concern about how much money the city would have to provide. The state provides 80 percent funding for chose projects and requires 20 percent funding through the city, donations or in-kind contributions. The letter to TxDOT, signed by Mayor Stoney Williams, said the city was "committed to pursuing specific funding sources upon receiving the grant." The actual dollar amount needed from the city will remain uncertain until Comal County Trails knows how much money TxDOT will give. The three projects total about $2.1 million, which means the group is seeking about $1.68 million in state funds. The rest of the money, $420,000, must come from the city or through in-kind donations. WORD approves contract Compromise forged with GB RA in regard to diversion of water from Canyon Lake By Erin MAGRUDER Staff Writer SATTLER — Water Oriented Recreational District board members unanimously approved a revised contract Wednesday night representing a compromise with the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority. On Sept. 8, WORD board members voted to contest GBRA's amendment application to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to divert more water from Canyon Lake. The permit would allow GBRA to increase how much water it diverts from Canyon Reservoir from 50,000 acre-feet per year to an average of90,000 acre-feet per year. In addition, GBRA was seeking authorization to use 11,000 acre-feet per year outside the Guadalupe River basin. One of WORD's primary concerns had been to conserve the natural resources of the district and improve public health, welfare and safety, board member Charles Stephens said. Initially, board members cited specific concerns about conditions of the amendment application, such as the total amount of water being diverted from Canyon Lake, the amount of water that would be deviated from above Canyon Dam and the amount of water from Canyon Reservoir that would be taken out of the district, board member Scott Watson said. The contract approved Wednesday night was the result of weeks of negotiations between GBRA, WORD board members and Comal County Commissioners. Because the WORD board was formed by commissioners' court, it is subject to supervision. Commissioners can approve or disapprove any action taken. For this reason, the proposed contract is between GBRA and Comal County. It will not have final approval, however, until county commissioners take action on it at a special meeting at 3:30 p.m. Friday at the Comal County Courthouse Annex. One condition of the proposed contract is that GBRA would continue to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a plan to release water more slowly from the See WORD/3A Inside Archives Anonymous.. ......5A Classifieds.................... ...3-6B Comics......................... ......8A Crossword................... ......5A Forum.......................... ......6A Local/Metro.................. ......4A Movies.......................... ......5A Obituaries..................... ......3A Sports........................... ...1-2B Today........................... ......2A Television..................... .....8A www.herald-zeitung.com Key code 76 Keep an eye out for goblins, ghosts By Heather Todd Staff Writer Parents and motorists are urged to use caution and follow a few safety tips when little goblins and ghosts haunt area streets Sunday night. Children dressed as their favorite television, movie and storybook characters will be trick or treating throughout New Braunfels for Halloween. For a safe and fun evening, parents are invited to take their children to New Braunfels Market place for "Trick or Treat Off the Street." The shopping center, 651 Business Loop 35, will offer trick or treating from 4 to 6 p.m. The Holiday Food Drive to benefit the New Braunfels Police Department's Blue Santa Program also will kick-off Sunday. Parents can send a non-perishable food item along with their children to donate between 4 and 6 p.m. in front of WestPoint Pepperell Mill Store at the marketplace. Law enforcement officials said parents taking their children trick or treating through local neighborhoods should heed a few safety measures. Sgt. David Wilson with the New Braunfels Police Department said parents should accompany young children or make sure an older sibling comes along. "If they can't go with them, then make sure the children go in a group and not by themselves," he said.

Casa Feliz offers spacious and supremely comfortable accommodation for up to 6 people in complete and blissful privacy. A beautiful detached three bedroom property with an unbeatable combination of light, space and luxury, this villa, surrounded by a beautiful fragrant Mediterranean garden and just the most sensational lake views, offers guests the very best in home comforts within a peaceful and secluded setting, but still only a couple of minutes drive into Iznajar.
This property has been designed for the ultimate relaxation experience! Situated in a quiet and natural environment, with its own swimming pool overlooking the lake, it truly is breath taking.
Beyond the private pool, the hillsides slope away into the valley and toward the lake, with pastoral olive groves filling the distance in between.
There are many outdoor areas to enjoy, including the swimming pool with a further, separate, fabulous sunbathing terrace with stunning views, a dining veranda with a BBQ area and enclosed rear courtyard.
From the patio, doors open into the dining area with table and 6 chairs and a fully equipped open plan kitchen. The kitchen area leads into a utility room and the downstairs family shower/bathroom. Also on the ground floor is a spacious lounge with modern wood burner, TV, comfortable reclining sofas and doors to the downstairs double bedroom with doors leading once again onto the terrace.
Doors from the living area open onto a secluded courtyard at the rear of the property.
A marble staircase leads you to the first floor where an additional two bedrooms can be found.
The very spacious master bedroom, with balcony overlooking the lake and pool, has a king size bed with luxury ensuite.
The second, twin room, with en-suite WC and hand basin, also has a balcony with lake views.
Casa Feliz offers a perfect setting for family reunions or that much needed time with friends. The property oozes a simple and relaxed style and is the perfect base for exploring the wonderful and varied region of Andalucia.
It is the best of all worlds; you are nestled in a secluded valley amidst the Malaga Mountains and its plentiful olive groves, just over an hour from the moorish historical cities of Granada & Córdoba, under two hours from sensational Sevilla, and just fifty minutes from Malaga and the airport, as well as being just a short drive from the beaches, glitz and glam of the Costa deal Sol.
The owners of Casa Feliz and their staff are dedicated to creating a truly memorable, relaxing and special experience for their guests.
Casa Feliz is registered with The Andalucia Tourist Board Reg No. VTAR/CO/098
Originally from London and Rome, we decided to make Andalucia our home after the need for a more relaxed pace of life, so we packed up everything and decided to buy this little bit of Paradise.
Experienced travellers, of all the great cities and countries we have visited, we knew this corner of Andalucia was perfect for us.
Steve in particular, has traveled the world on his motorbike. And I, Giulia, grew up between London & Rome.
Casa Feliz Iznajar purchased this villa in 2015
After years of searching high and low across the entirety of Andalucia, we stumbled across Iznajar and the amazing turquoise lake waters and were immediately spellbound by the beauty of the area, the excellent accessability to Granada, Córdoba, Malaga and Sevilla and the friendliness of the people. They say Andalucians are the friendliest of Spaniards... But then there are those from Iznajar.
The house itself is set in a secluded, but not at all remote position, with jaw dropping views... That is what did it for us: the views and the stillness of the lake's mesmerising waters during the day and the twinkling of the stars at night.
Peace and quiet :)
Ideally located between Malaga, Córdoba and Granada
Our experience at Casa Feliz was amazing. Guilia was exceptional - by far the best host we have every experienced at any of the many villas we have stayed in.
Her attention to detail to make this a 'home from home' villa was great - she had literally thought of everything. She gave us really useful info on what to do and where to go and even brought us a bottle of bubbly for our wedding anniversary. A truly lovely house with amazing views - 9 fabulous days spent with beautiful weather...we would love to go back!
We loved our stay in Casa Feliz and made sure we were home early enough from our outings to sit on the terraces and enjoy the scenery. Excellent location for all major sites such as Cordoba, Granada and we managed to visit Marbella in a day easily. Giulia was very helpful from the booking process and all throughout our stay especially with directions and tips on places to visit and we were greeted with a generous welcome basket filled with goodies. The villa felt like 'home' and not just a holiday rental accommodation. It has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. I had my 82 yr mum with me and she found it easy to move around. I enjoyed spending more time at the villa than all day sightseeing and would love to go back again for a restful and relaxing holiday. If you are looking for a luxury holiday to relax in the sun by the pool as well as sightseeing I strongly recommend Casa Feliz although I would prefer to keep it a secret!
Casa Felix is a lovely place to escape the rat race. The description regarding location, layout and facilities is completely accurate and it is a lovely place. The owner is discrete but helpful and we would certainly recommend this property. For us it was a get away but we do think that Iznajar is exceptional.
As a family of four (two 'kids' in their early twenties) we spent a week in Casa Feliz in August and really did not want to leave! The villa is just as the pictures show and has been thoughtfully kitted out with everything that you need - the fresh coffee went down a treat with my husband ! It is such a relaxing place to spend time. The pool and terrace areas are fantastic and wow what a view! Giulia and Steve could not have been more helpful and although it gets quite hot in August ( just remember it is the height of summer in Spain!) , they have plenty of fans to help cool the villa down. The villa is perfectly situated for visiting Granada and Córdoba and the surrounding area is beautiful - a real insight into rural Spain and its chilled out tempo of life. We will definitely be back - perhaps in spring/ early summer when the flowers are in bloom - lovely!
Thanks so much Giulia and Steve from Hamish, Trish, Alisdair and Jennifer.
Great well presented villa with good attention to detail - pool towels, plenty of good quality outdoor furniture, kitchen stocked with herbs & spices etc. Owner Giulia most helpful but not intrusive ensuring we had a superb relaxed holiday in a splendid location with great views across the valley and down to the lake.
Clear instructions provided to locate the villa from the airport.
Iznajar small but good local town with several bars and restaurants. Cordoba and Granada both well worth a visit with easy access to both.
Would happily return to explore more of the local area and would recommend this villa to friends.
Alan & Jane
Casa Feliz is a beautiful villa in a fantastic location overlooking a lake. It was equipped with all we needed including microwave, toaster, coffee maker etc. Nicely presented and furnished. Pool was perfect for swimming in. Really nothing that could be improved. It was great to be provided with beach towels for use by the pool.
Too hot for much sight seeing - we did get to Córdoba which is well worth seeing for its old town. It is only about an hr away as is Malaga if you want the sea and Granada is a bit nearer. So a great base for sightseeing when not so hot.
The local town Iznajar is very pleasant and has a few super markets. There is a bigger supermarket in Rute about 20mins and Carrefour in Lucena about 40mins away. Several restaurants are listed in the villa guide but we did not get a chance to visit them.
Giulia was incredibly friendly and helpful - she arranged some shopping for us which was a great help as not much is open on Sundays. She also quickly replaced a fan that stopped working.
Would highly recommend the villa to others - we did not miss having the sea and a beach nearby (there is in fact one on the lake but we did not use it). The location is really stunning.

More than 30 million passengers have also been affected by repeated closures of the line at weekends.
It has suffered repeated breakdowns mainly because of problems with the new £80 million signalling system.
Transport for London said the system was now installed but problems remained in the Neasden area, where there were more delays on Monday and again on Wednesday.
Caroline Pidgeon, leader of the London Assembly's Lib-Dem group and chairwoman of the transport committee, said the lost fares revenue "confirms that the upgrade on the Jubilee line has been a fiasco and quite simply a case study in exactly how not to upgrade a Tube line".
TfL bosses blame Tube Lines, the private sector consortium responsible for the upgrade. TfL took over the upgrade last summer.
The work was supposed to have been completed by the end of 2009 but was delayed four times.
TfL said the upgrade was completed at the end of last month. The number of trains has increased from 24 to 27 an hour with a further increase to 32 trains "early next year".
A spokeswoman said "lessons have been learned" and future upgrades of other lines, particularly the Northern, will be done with "significantly fewer weekend closures".
She said: "We share our customers' frustrations over the number of closures that have been necessary to complete the Jubilee line upgrade.
"Under the old Public Private Partnership system the work to install the new signalling system was delayed time and time again.
"It was only after TfL acquired Tube Lines last summer that a realistic programme to complete the work was able to be put in place."

Palavras-chave: Recém-renovado Cottage
Just priceless!! The cottage was very comfortable, and the lake was amazing. We woke up to views steps from Seneca Lake's edge that only our eyes could capture. It was a beautiful October weekend with above average temperatures and that just enhanced our stay. Cozy, clean, and well stocked for us to unwind; Bud and Roseann went out of their way to make us feel at home. Journey's End exceeded our expectations! If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful cottage in the Finger Lakes, I highly recommend Journey's End.
We stayed at Journey's End for a week and the cottage was beautiful and very clean. We loved the lake, however, due to the water being low, there was a thick mass of sludge along the beach area so we were not able to have our 2 year old grandson enjoy the beach at all nor were we able to have a fire in the fire pit because the smell from the sludge was pretty bad. Also it is advertised as being remote, but we were surprised to see that it was not remote at all. There was a cottage on each side of us and the parking was difficult because the one neighbor had 3 cars in at their place all the times we were there which made it hard for us to get in and out. Also I don't think it is ideal for small children because there is not a grass area at all for playing outside and there are numerous steps down to the decks and the beach area. Our grandson did enjoy feeding the ducks each day though and loved swimming in the lake (well floating with his floaties on). I will say that the sunsets and the sunrises were spectacular and the owners put a lot of work into the decks and outside of the cottage. Ed was also great to deal with.
I rarely do reviews, but I had such an amazing time I felt compelled to share. This cottage is small but very functional and enough space for 6 people. We had 4 adults and 2 children. Everything within the cottage is updated and thoughtfully placed. We were comfortable inside the cottage, but almost any time not sleeping or exploring the area was spent outdoors in the spacious deck, fire-pit by the water, or on the dock. Kayaks, paddle boat and row boats were available for use - all in excellent shape.
We rented pontoon boats few of the days from Roy's Marina and were able to bring it down to the dock (be aware, it does take a decent amount of time to get it here though) for the day.
Lake is gorgeous and the views from the deck/cottage/dock are priceless.
Ed is a hands-on and helpful host with excellent communication before/during/after the trip.
My favorite winery (not really a vineyard) was Domaine Leseurre - on Keuka lake, about 30min drive. A rather new place but I think it will become BIG. Fox Run had some good value-wines too.
The cabin was clean and very well appointed . All of our needs were provided for with a sharp eye for every detail. We loved the boating , fishing , fire pit and all the rest ! Only regret is we didn't stay longer . Well done ! See you next year ...
What a great cottage for a relaxing lake vacation! The location is perfect - about halfway between Watkins Glen and Geneva. My husband and I enjoyed our coffee/tea each morning on the dock while watching the sun rise over the lake and morning kayaking. And we all enjoyed watching the stars at night. Our college-aged boys enjoyed fishing, boating, chess, monopoly and card games. The cottage was very clean and has a well stocked kitchen.
To be brief, this lake house has character that words cannot describe. Even pictures have a tough time conveying the charm held by this quaint little home. It is, quite literally, lake side with a porch overhanging the gentle crash of waves below. A floating wooden walkway stretches out into the lake, ending in a private dock fully equipped with wooden lawn chairs and calming tranquility. If your heart so desires, a rowboat is also available to venture further out into Lake Seneca.
The house itself is cozy. It was perfectly sized for five adults. With two bathrooms, impatient urgency was never an issue. Sleeping arrangements were divided into three rooms. The master bedroom houses a queen bed and a regal view of the lake. The second bedroom has two twin beds. The third has a bunk bed, the bottom of which is a double, and an attached bathroom. Although the home has a 5 gallon chilled water dispenser, the tap water is fresh. A group of our friends stayed in another lake house down the road, and their tap water smelled a rather foul -- an issue not present in this home. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of dishes, cups, and utensils; the available dishwasher insures easy cleaning of said dishware. The home also comes with a washer and dryer which are useful after multiple retreats into the lake. The only flaw is that the living room is small and not ideal for the extended habitation of numerous television connoisseurs.
This home is perfect for a family or small group of friends looking to get away for the weekend. The property owners are mindful and a pleasure to work with, making communication and renting a smooth and painless affair. They were even kind enough to mail a pair of pants we had left behind. This home was truly a pleasure to stay in and I won't bother looking for another place when I visit Lake Seneca again.

Defense carries Spartans to 14-0 win over Purdue
Denicos Allen returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown, and Michigan State's offense finally added an insurance score in the fourth quarter of a 14-0 win over Purdue on Saturday.
The Spartans didn't make it past the Purdue 32-yard line until the fourth, when receiver Tony Lippett threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Gleichert on a trick play.
Michigan State (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten Conference) remains atop the Legends Division but clearly has work to do with the toughest part of its schedule still to come. Purdue (1-6, 0-3) kept it close after being routed by Wisconsin and Nebraska in its first two conference games, but Paul Griggs missed two field goals.

Brain Cancer Symptoms: Headaches and Seizures
Medical Author: Benjamin C. Wedro, MD, FAAEM
Most people seek medical care to make certain that nothing bad is happening in their body. They seek reassurance from their doctor that all is well. Unasked questions that linger fill patients and their families with dread until their concerns are addressed.
For golf legend Seve Ballesteros, there is something bad happening in his body. Two weeks ago, he experienced a grand mal seizure for the first time. As part of the evaluation of a new onset seizure, a CT scan of his brain was done and revealed a large tumor. It is amazing that significant parts of the brain can be destroyed and yet the patient can have normal function. Looking back, though, friends had reported that Mr. Ballesteros had been complaining of headaches, and perhaps he had had a few episodes of unusual or erratic behavior. Often the clues are recognized after the fact and can help explain previous events.
Seizures are relatively common in children and younger adults, and some may be due to an area of the brain that has an abnormal wiring pattern that can cause electrical surges. This can spread to the whole brain and make brain cells fire randomly all at one. This causes the jerking and stiffening motions of the body that we describe as a seizure. The brain doesn't like the irritation, and like a computer, logs itself off and then reboots. During this time, the brain doesn't take in new input and the patient can be sleepy and less than normally responsive. After a period of time, the brain returns its function to normal, and the patient returns to normal as well.

This Nun KILLS Alicia Keys' 'No One' [Video]
Now this is just not something you see everyday.
The Italian version of The Voice had a nun up there singing not a holy song, but instead covering Alicia Keys hit single "No One."
And boy did she nail it.
If anybody is familiar with the show The Voice the panel has their backs turned to the singer and press a button once they decide if that certain person is talented or not.
Let's just say, Sister Cristina Scuccia absolutely surprised… everyone!
All I have to say is… amen.
Check out the video below.

Dear Diary...Tell Me Who I Am
My turn at cataloguing my past, contemplating my present, and possibly foretelling my future. Feel free to peek inside my peculiar little brain, you might find something you like, and something you thought you might have lost.
I don't profess to have a special life.
Really, I don't.
Trust me, I dislike the people who always say that. I've met those people who say they're "special", as if they're a brand new creation, deserving of a different path to everybody else. Usually, those people aren't in my friends, and they're the type of person I work with when the teacher says so, or for the sake of politeness at a social.
But I wouldn't say I was boring either.
Do I think I was different from those around me at points in my life? Yes. Do I think that makes me better? No, not at all. I've been through things in my life, the odds are many have had it better than me, and more than many have had it worse. I won't write this to make you feel sorry for me, wish you were me (odds are, by the end, you'll be glad you're not), and the last thing I want you to do is hate me. Like all stories that I write, the arcs I create, the worlds I design, I make them so others can understand.
That's what I'm always thought a book was, a story. But not of the characters, that's just on the surface, beneath there's a story about the writer, their philosophy on life. We write so others can understand us, and we write so we can understand ourselves.
And this is just one story.
This is about me.
I want fame. I've never been shy about it. I have dreams, and I have aspirations. I wish that I could tell you that I never knew my path, then I could tale you a harrowing adventure of self-discovery, and this would become a wonderful bilsdungroman that young children look to for guidance. (I'd advice against that last one, be creative and mess up in your own way). The truth is, I've always believed my path was decorated with glitter and lights. Not in the way that a little girl wants to be a singer and have a sold-out concert, their names in bulbed lights, or the way she wants to be an actress and strut down the red carpet with paparazzi and fans screaming her name. But I want to be known, and I have a plan to make that come true.
I know it's highly unlikely my life will go to plan, but I'll try anyway. I want to be a writer, I want to spend four years reading and writing literature, make my family proud. I want to become an English teacher, to inspire as I was inspired by my teacher - and because I know my dream will take time. I will send off manuscripts for a few years, and then I want to be published and see the world. I want to touch hearts like writers have touched mine, I want to give somebody the enjoyment I have from absorbing into a world that isn't my own. I want to spend my career imagining, and I want to talk about my work for hours on end and have people listen to me without sneering or scoffing.
But before I get there, before I even get close to accomplishing my dreams, there are things I have to do first. My dad would always tell me, you have to know where you've been, to know where you're going. I was eight when he first told me that, and when you're a little girl dealing with bullying and the changing world (and the notion that, one way or another, you must change with it), my response was usually, unless where you've been will only keep you there.
I understand him now though, the old man does have some wisdom left in him. Once, when somebody asked me if I would go back and change my past, I said no. I still say no, the things I went through brought me here. Now I feel happiness, I have friends who I can call sisters, I have a loving family, fictional and real, and I have writing.
But there is one thing I would say to my younger self. I would never tell her not to do what she did, all I would do is tell her that, whatever happens, it gets better. Because as a young girl, I had dreams, I had fantasies and I had a heart.
But I never had much faith.

NZD/CHF: sell targets – 0.6900 and 0.6800
By: Dima Chernovolov
- NZD/CHF falls inside intermediate impulse wave (3)
- Next sell targets – 0.6900 and 0.6800
NZD/CHF has been falling sharply in the last few days – after the pair broke the strong pivotal support level 0.7200 (which reversed the previous waves 3, (B), (1) and 1). The breakout of this support level greatly accelerated the active minor impulse 3 of the 3rd intermediate impulse wave (3) from last month (which started when the pair failed to break above the strong resistance zone lying at the intersection of the 200-day moving average and the resistance level 0.7450).
NZD/CHF is likely to fall further inside the active impulse waves 3 and (3) toward the next sell targets 0.6900 and 0.6800.

Kuala Lumpur (dpa) – Hundreds of thousands of Hindu devotees on Tuesday celebrated the Thaipusam festival throughout Malaysia.
Devotees in colourful dresses and painted faces flocked to the Batu Caves temple on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur carrying jars of milk and other offerings.
Some 1.6 million people were expected to visit the temple during the annual celebration of thanksgiving and repentance.
Thaipusam, celebrated during the full moon of the Tamil month of Thai, which falls in January or February, to honour the Hindu god Murugan, is a national holiday in Malaysia, nearly 2 million whose 30 million population is ethnically Indian.
Prime Minister Najib Razak went to the Batu Caves to witness the celebration this year, noting that the event highlighted the predominantly Muslim country's rich and diverse cultural heritage.
"As our Hindu brothers and sisters observe this day by offering prayers of thanksgiving and fulfilling their vows at temples throughout the country, let us come together in solidarity to show our respect for each other's religious festivals," he said.

Brazil prosecutors seek to block Canadian gold mine in Amazon
By Anthony Boadle
BRASILIA, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Brazilian prosecutors want to block the permit for a massive gold mine planned by Belo Sun Mining Corp on the Xingu River in the Amazon, arguing that the Canadian company has failed to study the impact on local Indian communities, the prosecutors' office said on Wednesday.
The Volta Grande, or Big Bend, open-pit project is slated to start operating in 2016 and become Brazil's largest gold mine. It is in the northern state of Para next to another controversial project, Belo Monte, which is designed to become the worlds third largest hydroelectric dam and has also been the target of lawsuits and public prosecutors.
Environmentalists, and now federal authorities, are saying the double impact of the two massive projects on the habitat of two local Indian communities straddling the Xingu River has not been properly studied.
Federal prosecutors have asked the state government of Para, which is in charge of licensing for the project, to deny permission until the impact of the project on the nearby Arara and Juruna people can be studied. Thais Santi, the local federal prosecutor in Altamira where the mine is located, also wants Brazil's federal Indian affairs agency, Funai, to get involved.
The state of Para's environmental office, SEMA, which is responsible for the permit, has said that studies on the communities can be done after a permit is granted. It is not clear when state officials could decide on the permit.
Helena Palmquist, a spokeswoman for the federal prosecutors' office in Belem, the state capital, said Belo Sun has not heeded two requests from that office for assessments on the communities. "This is the second time we are asking," Palmquist said, adding that the earlier request was in February.
Belo Sun, based in Toronto, said it is dealing only with state officials because they are the ones who issue the permits.
"All I can tell you is that all the permitting for our project is done at the state level, and the approvals are at the state level," Chief Operating Officer Ian Pritchard told Reuters. "I can't tell you anything else." Continued...

Hey, who are you?
The town that I live in isn't large, but it's not tiny. I still know everyone that lives in my town because my dad is important, and well, I'm a freak. When I was younger, I was introduced to every doctor in my state. Random people would stop by to see if it was true that I was different. My parents didn't allow my being different to be announced to the world. Only my town and some towns close by knew of me. I look at these people and get a sense that they don't know I'm different. I wonder what made them decide to take my town. How would us surviving a week out here be useful information to them?
Fear is within each person I see. Most likely all of these people will learn that I'm worthless. The man leaves and things turn for the worst. People shout and cry. Anger, fear, hate, anxiety, curiosity, sadness is what is in these people. I must go find Merrick. I know that everyone has their powers back and Merrick will be dying.
"Merrick!" I shout. I leave my family. I know they won't care where I go and what I do. Others huddle with their families and people try to figure out a plan. "Merrick!" I jump and push through the crowd. I see so many people I don't know and others I do, but I don't see Merrick. "Merrick!" I yell as loud as I'm capable. I have never been this loud in my life. I like to be by myself, but right now I want to be with Merrick and I don't care what others think about me at this moment.
"Excuse me, are you okay?" I turn to see a young boy, about my age. He approaches me slowly.
"Yes," I say a little too loud.
"You sure? You don't look so calm."
"Just trying to find my friend." I calm myself down a tad.
"Why aren't you with your family?"
"Why aren't you? You don't need to be asking me all these questions. I can handle myself."
"I don't have a family."
"Oh! Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I'm usually not like this!"
"It's alright. I understand you're under a lot of stress right now. Could I maybe help you?"
"How could you help?"
"I'm able to find people at any moment in time."
"Okay. Then what do you need to know to find my friend?"
"Name and date of birth."
"Merrick Simmons. April third, nine-hundred-ninety-nine."
A couple seconds pass. "I got something. Okay, follow me."
He takes my hand and pulls me with him. If he didn't have complete control over me I would have yanked my hand from his grip. But I decided since he was helping me, I would allow him to guide me this way. Soon I begin to think it's hopeless. There's too many people and we're all still squished together. It'll be way too hard to find any of my friends. I see everyone using the power they possess and the joy on their face sickens me. I'm again surrounded by powerful people, while being the only one powerless.

I'm asking, because there is something so enthralling, so impactful about Adam Lambert.
He has…a presence.
Do you feel it too? Never met the man. Few have, as compared to the gale of global gazes that he has captured since setting foot on the Idol stage mere months ago. Yet, unlike any other artist since the last millenium, within or outside of Idol, there exists an immediate, collective, intuitive projection of global proportions that he is worthy of the highest pedestal on which to plant his platform boots.
There is that much 'artistry' in his 'package' performance.
Now the question arises…How do you effectively suitcase Adam's artistic engineering so that the fans have what they crave about him?
A CD of his recordings? Don't make me laugh. He is so 4-D that a CD only covers 1-D of what he projects.
Certainly a DVD (and its respective morphs) allows for audio and visual representation. Yet – can you feel it – it's not enough!
What's the next step up? Perhaps something playfully called "VADAMs"? Visual Adamlambertfans Digital Audio Messages – something not merely an audio CD and with more personalization than a music video. After all – we witnessed his LAMBIRTH. We cramped our fingers voting for him, drained our cell phone batteries for him. There was a euphoric common consciousness as total strangers Adamagnitized around the world.
What is there beyond that? A music hologram?
What's in your imagination? Comment below.

When she woke up, Ava expected to be back in her bed, buried under warm, fluffy blankets. But when she opened her eyes, she was staring at a white wall, the mattress she was lying on was soft but it wasn't hers, and the whole room smelled like disinfectant.
It smelled like a hospital.
Ava hated hospitals.
As far as thirteen-year-olds went, panicking about being in one of these places was not seen as an overreaction. It was understandable.
"Mom?" she whispered. "Jake?"
Silence greeted her.
Someone, please help me.
"Were you trying to kill yourself?"
His voice flooded into her ear as she stared at the wall. He stepped into her line of sight and frowned, running a hand through his dark hair. He crouched down and cupped her cheek, his blue eyes tense as he searched her face.
"Who gave you that bruise?"
She didn't reply to either of his questions. Instead, she rolled over and squeezed her eyes shut, willing him away with her mind. He wasn't real, she knew that now. He had come, each time, to her aid when something bad happened recently.
"You aren't real," she muttered. "You weren't there to protect me from that man."
"Ava, dear, who are you talking to?"
This voice was new, a female, and kind. The screeching of a metal-legged chair was dragged across the floor, and the sound of a body dropping into the seat echoed in the room.
"No one," said Ava, sighing into her pillow.
"But I heard you speaking to someone."
Ava turned her head to start at a woman that looked about the same age as her mother, with long golden hair and warm blue eyes.
Eyes like Ian's.
"It was no one," Ava insisted. She scrutinized the woman with narrowed eyes. "Who are you and why are you in here?"
"I'm Dr. Hadley," the woman replied, smiling. "Tessa, actually."
"I thought Dr. Hadley was a man," Ava said, scratching her head.
"Your mother thought so too. She didn't get to talk to me. She talked to my assistant. She just assumed Hadley was a male."
"You never answered my other question," Ava said. "Why are you here?"
"I'm your doctor," Tessa said, frowning. "I should be able to watch my patient and talk to her. When your brother brought you in here, you were unconscious, so I couldn't very well talk to you then."
For the first time since she had woken up, Ava looked at her arm; it was bandaged around her hand and it didn't hurt. There were faint scars along her wrist but she didn't want to tell Tessa that those weren't from the broken mirror.
"I won't tell," Dr. Hadley said, looking at her wrist. "Your mom didn't see them don't worry. But I want to run something by you. Feel free to say no, most people do."
Ava waited as she listened to the ticking clock on the wall grow louder.
"We, as in your mother, brother and myself, think your days would be better spent somewhere besides a scary, old hospital. I've talked to your mother and she's agreed, and we'd like to send you to a treatment facility."

Violet: Relief can hurt, you know.
So, by this time, practically everybody wanted pancakes-Apart from Tami, of course, who refused to part with her muffins-so me and Arc made them all. I was just lifting the pan up to flip one when I heard a 'Clang' a gasp, and an "Aysh!". I put the pan on the stove, turning it off, and ran to the living room, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. There was a guy I didn't recognise, slumped over on the sofa, Rephy, Aysh, Kayden, and Aurili standing around him. I looked at a tag tied around his neck.
Name: Adam Jenson
Condition: Rare
Status: Dormant
Codename: Techie
MNTK: DB Type 1
Aysh made an insulin needle appear, and Rephy injected Adam with it.
His head snapped up, confused. A shock of it ran down my spine.
Blood flowed into his cheeks like waterfalls regaining water after being dehydrated. He sucked in a deep breath, but let his eyes stay closed. Relief smacked me in the face so hard, I felt like physically saying, 'Ouch.'
"I think he's sleeping now." Rephy muttered.
Aurili touched his shoulder, and his clothes turned dry - obviously reversing time on his clothes to the way they were. Rephy smiled, and made Adam float upstairs with her. I'm guessing to find him a new bedroom. Well, not new, I guess, but to find a situation for his room. That sounded more accurate.
I took Arc's hand and lifted it up, then kissed the top of it. We continued to make these pancakes - damn I was getting hungry.
