The Book of Sacred Remnants
Prince Alexander entered the library, which was kept under lock and key with guards posted outside the door. Sighing, he ran his fingers along the spines of the books, absently reading the titles and wishing he had time to read the books themselves.
No, a prince rarely had time of his own when his father was away at battle, his mother was ill, and his two younger sisters needed his attention as constantly as humanly possible.
Aha, there it was. The Book of Sacred Remnants. Alexander honestly could not have cared less about the trespassing of the young woman, but -
Alexander stopped short when he realized he hadn't even asked the prisoner what her name was! How absent-minded could he be?
Deciding there were more important things to do than try to remember if the girl had said her name or not, Alexander pulled the book he'd been searching for from the shelf and set it down on a table. Seating himself, he scanned the contents until he found what he was looking for: the sacred grounds.
Long ago, the nation of Avana had believed in many gods. Those who didn't believe in Avana's religion had been killed or tortured. Now, Avana practiced the freedom to believe according to one's personal convictions, but one thing remained: the sacred grounds, where the traditional theists of Avana believed the gods dwelled. Granted, Alexander didn't believe in Avana's gods of old, but it was important to the kingdom that its sacred grounds remain untainted.
"The intentional shedding of blood upon sacred grounds must be punished by a lifetime in prison; however, if the bloodshed ends in death - whether it be the death of an animal or a human - it must be punished by the offender's death."
For some inexplicable reason, Alexander felt great disturbance at the idea that the mysterious criminal would have to be put to death. Trembling, though he couldn't fathom why, Alexander continued to read. What he saw next put his heart at ease.
"The offender may be pardoned by the king; however, the one who pardons the offender may expect no small measure of consequences from the gods themselves."
"'The offender may be pardoned by the king,'" Alexander murmured to himself. "So I cannot pardon her, but my father can..." But no, there was a problem. Alexander's father was a highly religious man. He took the sacred grounds very seriously...so the chance of the young woman being pardoned was very slim.
Leaning back, troubled by what he'd read, Alexander drummed his fingers on the table's surface. "Father expected to be away for at least three months at war," Alexander muttered absently, "so I hold the right to keep the prisoner until he returns."
Of course, Alexander doubted the prisoner would be thrilled by the idea of being kept inside the palace, but it was the best the prince could do. He could help the young woman escape, but...
But as much as Alexander didn't want to admit it to himself, he found the woman intriguing. Maybe she would consent to being his mistress. Tia had left Alexander, after all, as soon as she'd found out that he hadn't had any intention of promoting her from mistress to wife.
Sighing, Alexander stood. He would present the matter to Adrian. Adrian always knew what to do.

Smiling :)
"The stories we tell will make you smile!!",the setence obviously is not mine own but from a song by Phil Collins on the soundtrack for "Brother Bear"....And it got me thinking about people who provide the same effect on me.
For various reasons.
One has to be my mother: Sharon Flood.
I guess the other would be my remaining three friends by no reason of importance:Dayla,Beatrice and my boss Faye Meridith.The last one is without the doubt the female I spend the most of my time with, in and out of work.
A friendship that came out of my cirscumstances of being out of one job and in search of another.What a blessing, for this woman is quite a friend and quite the human being.
She voted for the first time since registering!! I must have tired her ears off !But she is much more than that she understands my jokes for what they are and sometimes she just calls me "Rude...Very rude.",as you can see in this past three months she grew to know me quite well!...Lol.
But what makes me smile the most are not the people i grew to know that are not my sons,they always make me smile even when it is for sadness(when they are hurt,or sad),it is not a person it is in fact a program.
Or to be more specific the news.
Well to me it makes me smile,sometimes even giggle.Seriously,but most time I simply see myself saying"Oh,no!",but thankfully that is not as often or a norm.
So what makes me smile on their account humans and news alike ?
Well it all comes back to this,interaction with me.
A connection with a thought,a shared laughter.An instant smile.
We humans show everything that we feel in our faces.We really do,there is even as expression for that it goes I think like this " Wear you heart in your sleeve",or maybe I am thinking something diferent :)

Will the Good Times Last at Pearson?
Few people expected Marjorie Scardino to last this long. When she was appointed chief executive of Pearson more than 11 years ago, the news sent the company's share price into a downward spiral. "The market was looking for a hard-hitting, well-known character, and they didn't get one," harrumphed one analyst, by way of explanation.
The first woman to take the helm of a FTSE 100 company was a former journalist who had grown up in Texarkana, Texas, racing horses around oil barrels at rodeos. More prescient observers noted that she had, for almost five years, headed the Economist Group, half-owned by Pearson, and presided over the rise of The Economist, which had enjoyed a 78 per cent sales growth in little over three years.
The rise of The Economist continues, as does Dame Marjorie's tenure at Pearson. Yesterday she announced that, in spite of its exposure to the American economic downturn, the company's performance for 2007 was better than market expectations, with adjusted operating profit up by 14 per cent to £634m, and underlying sales growth of 6 per cent.
"This is another record set of results and an excellent performance from every part of Pearson," said Dame Marjorie in a statement. "We continue to shape Pearson into a more digital, more international and more efficient company, and those changes make us confident that 2008 will be another good year."
As analysts digested the results, the principal murmurings of doubt concerned fears that American students, colleges and state education officials might be less inclined in 2008 to spend money on the text books which are a major part of Pearson's business.
Pearson admitted this sector would be flat in 2008 but Dame Marjorie later went out of her way to point out that the company was multi-faceted and insulated from cyclical change. Pearson Education, she said, does not just supply school books but is also at the forefront of testing students and compiling data on the workings of the education system. Furthermore, it has a £1bn education business outside of the US.
Dame Marjorie, 61, has steadily grown Pearson's global media business with a strategy based on three watchwords: digital, diverse and international. At the heart of the empire is the Financial Times, which during Dame Marjorie's time at Pearson has been the subject of continuous rumour that it will be put up for sale. Such speculation was encouraged by the last advertising downturn of 2000, which saw the FT's profits wiped out. Since then Pearson has rebuilt the paper into a highly profitable multi-media offering, incorporating FT.com. The print edition has enjoyed increased circulation (up 2.2 per cent) and critical acclaim, winning the What the Papers Say award for newspaper of the year in 2007. FT Publishing, which includes the newspaper and other specialist titles, made a profit of £56m, compared to £27m the previous year.
Whereas in 2000 the FT Group depended on advertising for more than 50 per cent of its revenues, the modern business, which includes niche digital intelligence offerings such as Mergermarket and Money-Media, now makes less than 30 per cent of its money from this source, reducing its exposure to a slump.
Other media companies have switched focus to sophisticated online services, notably the Anglo-Dutch company Reed Elsevier, which offloaded some of its business-to-business titles, such as Farmers Weekly. The FT Group recently sold the national titles FT Deutschland and Les Echos to concentrate on the FT's global ambitions.
Rupert Murdoch had been at the top of the list of parties supposedly interested in prising the FT from Dame Marjorie but the biggest media mogul now represents a different threat as the new owner of the rival Wall Street Journal, which he is expected to re-position in an attempt to make it the undisputed global leader.
Dame Marjorie yesterday played down the threat, suggesting the Journal was one of many competitors. "We see ourselves not as having one major rival ... we are a niche paper, we are more international and we think that niche strategy is a more resilient strategy and different from the Journal," she told Cantos.com.
When she started in her role, Dame Marjorie could never have imagined that her company's profits might be enhanced by an internet-based interview or "Webinar" conducted by Oprah Winfrey about a single book. But tonight some 500,000 people in 125 countries will form the online audience for a conversation between the chat show host and the author Eckhart Tolle.
Penguin, an important component of Pearson, published Tolle's book A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose in 2005, selling a relatively modest 500,000 copies until Winfrey endorsed the title a month ago, since when a further four million have been bought. Other key Penguin authors include Alan Greenspan, Khaled Hosseini and Jamie Oliver. Despite gloomy predictions in the print media, Dame Marjorie expects Penguin to enjoy double digit margins in 2008, partly by taking advantage of digital production opportunities.
Dame Marjorie might be one of the most prominent women in the City but she is still a private individual, wary of her public image. When she briefly returned home to Texas after landing the Pearson job, she professed herself "so hurt" by locals who suggested she had affected an English accent, though she retains her American vowels a decade later.
And yesterday, as she attempted to put across her message that "I do have quite a lot of confidence" for the year ahead, she could not escape questioning over rumours that she is looking to move on. Not at all, she said; she was "excited" her digital and international strategy was "taking hold" and there was still "a lot to accomplish".
Even after more than 11 years in the Pearson saddle, the one time young rodeo rider still can't convince everyone that she has her hands firmly on the reins.

Legend Chronicles The First of Many;Mature
my summary is coming soon ;D
Prologue. Decisive
Not so much as a single legend remained, after the world was struck with ruin. Yet, you managed to survive, even when the gods were against you. You are a special one Mia, keep that in mind.
"I am not special", she replied as she looked up from the ground. " I corrupted the cycle."
You are in no right to take the blame. Your wings were born for you from your past life, Gaius, do you not remember? You were born with wings of gold.
"And now they are stained with an incurable felony," Mia exclaimed."They have lost their hue of gold. One is white and the other is ..."
"Black", he added. "You can cure this Mia, just have patience."
I shouldn't have to wait Hhrunehmn. I've been waiting for decades, and now.... I am to loose everything.
"What is there to loose Mia?"
"Him", Mia said in shame as she pulled on her glass necklace. "I promised him that I would change. I promised him that I would rebuild Milidia."
"You promised?!" Hhrunehmn paused as he shot her a glance."We do not make promises that we cannot keep!"
Well I can keep this one. If he promised, then I would do the same.
"And what did he promise you? A remembrance? Some key?"
"He promised me, that he would take me, to Eden. The first world before the last."
"Ha", Hhrunehmn chuckled." If a human was he, then what makes you think that he still lives?"
He bears the same mark, but no wings.
"Then he is no legend; either a pallasch or a senecke", Hhrunehmn added.
Either way, our precepts remain the same, but this promise will remain my constant ambition.
"What about your purpose?" Hhrunehmn teased.
"What about it?" Mia snarled.
"The gods did not bring you back into existence to follow after some false promise. They brought you back to fix the cycle."
"To bring them down", Mia answered. "The Rhenajlem."
Exactly. So why diverge from the path?
"Help", Mia replied as her eyes wandered the dawn hued skies. "I will not be able to do this alone."
"But I am your guardian", Hhrunehmn whispered as he threw his hood over his face. "I am the only help you need."
"No, you are not." Reaching down next to the left side of her waist, she withdrew a long hooked blade and held it close to her chest.
"If I am to diverge from the path, then it is my choice, not yours. You are the one who follows in my shadow. If you do not agree then you are not a part of it. You, are against me."
"I am not!" he declared as he reached for her weapon. Holding up her blade, she lifted it away from her chest and held its tip at the bridge of his neck.
"If you are with me, then do not question my judgement. If you against me then take your leave!"
I cannot do that Mia. It would be considered disloyal.
"Then you are with me?" she grinned as she also pushed her hood over her head. " It would be most wise."
I am with you.
"Very well" she announced. "Our first home is in the Avian Empire; in the northern district, underneath the kingdom; it lies in Tehra. Everything changes once we arrive there.
"What changes?" Hhrunehmn requested.
"Everything..." Mia vowed. "Everything."

Ratings for Dr. David L. Yeh
My expirience in Holly Cross was the worst I had ever had as a patient. Since the beginig the customer service was terrible an when I met Dr. David Yeh, his didn't pay atention to anything that I was saying. He gave me a wrong prescription for glases and contact lenses. I went 2 times to request a new prescription but he and his assitant didn't care when that i saw blurry and couldn't see the small letters. I paid $150 for the appointment and for contact lenses that were not right for me. When I asked for my money back, the Dr. said No and he said that I was not capable for using contact lenses which is not true because I have used them before. I do not recomend this clinic and Dr. David Yeh to anyone.
Very caring doctor with a good bedside manner. The Rockville office is very spacious and comforting and the staff is wonderful!
Dr. Yeh was referred to me by my physician daughter as a Harvard graduate, intelligent, and skilled ophthalmologist, the kind of doctor whom you would refer your own mother to. His clinic is staffed with friendly and efficient receptionists. I was seen promptly at my appointment time.My ophthalmology appointment involved an initial detailed eye examination followed by a second dilated eye exam. When Dr. Yeh examined my eyes, he was very focused as if I were the only patient in his clinic. Dr. Yeh spent at least 60 minutes of hands-on time with me, including two thorough eye exams, writing lab orders, and calling another subspecialist's office to make an appointment for me. He also called my daughter to discuss my findings and lab results, and faxed a referral summary to the neuro-opthalmologist whom he referred me to. I will certainly return to him for my annual check up and general eye issues, and I'm happy I found a competent and conscientious physician whom I can totally trust.
Waited 1 hour 20 minutes to be seen for a 330pm appointment and the Dr. was literally running around the office from patient to patient as it was getting close to 6pm before I was finished with a ROUTINE eye exam. I somehow walked out of there with a broken blood vessel and he accused me of scratching my eye - I hadn't even touched my eye at all before it showed up while in the office. He suggested contacts to correct my astigmatism and then gave me an Rx for regular contacts. I would never return to this practice or recommend Dr. Yeh.

Nov. 13 marked the one-year anniversary of the Paris attacks, where 130 individuals lost their lives as several Islamic State (ISIS) militants brought an onslaught of violence and chaos. The bloodshed and terror was a symbolic and ruthless attack against the western world, as Paris is the epitome of occidental culture, and has represented western ideals since the French Revolution in the 18th century.
Cities are more important than ever in efforts to address climate change. By 2050 global city populations are expected to almost double in size, but urban areas already account for nearly 75 per cent of total carbon emissions. Cities all around the planet have the opportunity to transition "from grey to green."
We are witnesses to history as we watch countries come together this Earth Day to formally sign on to the Paris climate agreement. In December, we cheered as 195 countries agreed to keep global warming beneath a 2C threshold, and aim for just 1.5C from pre-industrial levels. While that agreement was hard fought and much celebrated, it wasn't the end of our work. It was just the start for governments, businesses and organizations. And now we've come to the next step: signing the agreement.
Gone are the days of uncomfortable metal cots and tattered rented towels. No more slipping gingerly into sketchy sheets - hostels are stepping up their game, appealing to the more sophisticated jet-setter. The posh hostel (or '¬poshtel') is here to stay. With the rise in demand for fancier digs, many hostels now provide high-end toiletries, afternoon wine tastings and sheets with an actual thread-count. Think non-conventional, boutique amenities at hostel prices.
When our children's children look back to what we did to keep our planet livable, they may see this year's United Nations climate conference in Paris as a turning point. The 21st Conference of the Parties (COP21) may have been our last chance for a meaningful agreement to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy before ongoing damage to the world's climate becomes irreversible and devastating. Government ministers, negotiators and world leaders spent the first two weeks of December creating a guide for the next stage of humanity's action on climate change.
I've always believed that if you shut people in a room for long enough, they'll find something to agree on. A fiery debate maybe more fun, particularly over a drink with friends, but if it never reaches resolution it never actually achieves anything. Agreements can come naturally, but more often they don't -- in which case they require capitulation or compromise. Given that no one likes capitulation (unless it's by the other person) compromise has to be the norm. So it was at the COP21 in Paris.
As the dust settles on COP21 we know that while historic steps have been taken, the demands of justice are still unfulfilled. Together we are challenging the fossil fuel system, we are ushering in the era of solutions, and we are moving the political yardsticks of what it possible. While our political leaders walk, our movements run.
Whether our numerous interventions are justified or not, we cannot continue to let our self-imagined grand delusions make us blind to the fact that our actions abroad can come back to haunt us here at home. The problem with this admission, however is that it forces us to look in the mirror to confront our very own imperfections. Yet until we're able to do so, peace in our times will continue to remain an elusive fantasy and the carnage is destined to continue.
When something terrible continues to happen, over and over, all of us are to blame. By allowing news outlets to turn these seminal events into cheap sensationalism, by believing that changing your profile pic equals action, by not resisting old ways of thinking nor doing whatever you can to open eyes, by not demanding better of your country or culture.
As is usually the case in the rush to war, this chorus of angry voices ignores the messy and uncomfortable reality of the situation. They propose a course of action that would put Canada in greater danger, strengthen its geopolitical foes, involve a far greater sacrifice than Canadians are willing to make, and fail to improve the situation in Syria or Iraq.
The coordinated killings that rocked Paris over the weekend are an unspeakable horror. But we must not allow the horrific nature of this atrocity to drag Canada back into the racism, Islamophobia and war-mongering that characterized our last government. The burden to hold firm on the change that we demanded in the October election is jointly shared between Canadians and our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The act of madness is followed by a wave of madness, where states are bombed to rubble and the cycle of irrational thinking becomes the rule that governs the game. I wish, as we utilize our resources to discuss issues facing our societies, we could do the same with these acts of violence so that we can discover a solution.

Author's Note: I'm going to make the note a bit longer this time. Why? Because I feel like it, okay! If you don't like reading boring author's notes, then just skip it. See if I care.
Do I really have to go over the list of things I don't own? Twilight, Storm Hawks, my little brothers (although I wish the last weren't true, then I could make them my personal slaves, Mwahahahaha). This is the disclaimer. Now it is done. Continuing with my longer-than-usual-but-still-reasonable-in-length author's note.
I have been thanking my reviews (I mean, who doesn't? Reviewers are awesome!), but I really want to take some time to let you know how much they mean to me. (Yeah, right. Nothing's going to stop me from writing this story. I write for the fun of it, not for reviews. That doesn't mean I don't like reviews!) So, I'd like to do a mini review corner here, in which I get to tell the people who reviewed how awesome they are, and the people too lazy to review get to be all 'Aw, man' and skip over and begin reading the story.
Helliexx: If there is one person who reviews all of my stories…well, let me put it this way—you have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you so much!
Smileyfacer: I'm glad you like it so much! In my opinion, the Bella in the book is nasty, selfish, and manipulative, but she tries to be nice. Really, sometimes she just nauseates me, especially the nasty way she pushed Jacob away when Edward comes back. I don't even like Jacob that much, but I certainly feel bad for him for being strung along. I personally think Cyclonis does a better job, because she may be just as nasty as Bella, but she knows she is, and she's a lot more honest about it. The way Bella in the book drools over Edward? It's truly sickening. She's such a bad role model for women. *sigh* Now that my rant is done (who am I kidding? I haven't even begun ranting yet) I'd like to thank you for your wonderful review. I am really glad that you're enjoying my twist on this story.
Missy-Dedocakes: I'd like to give you a giant thank you for your reviews. It meant so much to me, especially the way you pointed out the particular parts you liked. Truly, I felt that not only did you tell me what you thought, but your feedback will help me become a better writer. I am so grateful for your reviews. Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you enjoy the story, and hearing your comments always make my day brighter. ;-)
YOU: Yes, you, the ghost-reader, the lazy person who is reading this chapter and isn't going to review at all. I allow anonymous reviews, so I don't care whether or not you have an account or if you remembered to sign in today. Just review! You don't even have to say anything, 'hi' is fine, I'd just like to know that you're reading and maybe one word what you think. Is that too much to ask?
First class happened to be English. Which meant Mr. Mason got to be my punching bag.
Teasing teachers is a lot more fun than bullying other kids. For one, you have to be smart about it, because if you go out of line, they can get you in trouble easily. To tease a teacher, you need to hide your comments well enough so they know exactly what you mean, but can't punish you without seeming unfair.
"Thank you for joining us, Miss Cyclonis," Mr. Mason said in a disparaging tone.
"For what? Breakfast club?" I replied politely. "I'm not late. The bell is ringing right…" I glanced at my watch. "…now."
"Although the three walking in the door right now technically are late. Will you greet them with such sincerity as you have me?" The class all laughed, and Mr. Mason flushed red.
"So, um, get out your homework," he mumbled.
I raised my hand. He glanced at me, then grimaced, but everyone waited on him to call on me. Finally, he did. "What homework?"
A few people scoffed. I might have been insufferably rude when I was in the mood, but I was never a slacker.
Mr. Mason's eyes narrowed. Give me a homework slip? It seemed like a dream come true for him. He was waiting for the catch, then went to gleefully proclaim, "Reading chapters 13 and 14 and writing a one-page essay on the theme. I announced it in class, and it was written on the board. Now, do you want to come get a homework slip for missing work…"
He trailed off as I pulled out a two page essay, because I'm just an overachiever like that. "No, I'm referring to the fact that the latter aspect of the compound word 'homework' is work, and the stuff that you assigned us certainly was not work. There was absolutely no originality or thinking required; the stated the theme for you on page 97. In fact, it was so easy that I practically did it in my sleep." Not a lie—I had sleepwalked, sleeptalked, sleepsung, sleep-played-the-piano before; I wouldn't be surprised if I sleep-did-brainless-homework.
He opened his mouth like he was considering berating me, then thought better, and closed it. I sighed, then smiled contently. One and a half months here, and I already had the teachers well-trained.
When class ended, both Mike and Eric decided to escort me to the next one. Mike was prattling on about this beach trip he was planning for the weekend. Apparently, I was going, too, although I hadn't really been informed. I tried to sound fairly eager, and reminded myself that Social Services and my adoptive father, Chief Swan, wanted to see me socializing and being a normal high school girl.
The rest of the morning passed in a blur, which was a welcome relief, because already I was tired of the things these kids called classes.
For some strange reason, I was impatient (at least, more impatient than usual) when Jessica and I entered the cafeteria. I was curious—was Edward having another one of his weird mood swings, or was he back to the cold, indifferent person that I could tolerate? Jessica babbled about her dress shopping plans, and I tuned her out expertly.
I glanced towards the Cullens' table, and was slightly disappointed to notice that there were only four of them. It made little sense. Based on the behavior patterns that I observed, all of them sat at the same table every day, yet at the same time, why would Edward randomly ditch, especially after being here this morning?
"Edward Cullen is staring at you again," Jessica stated, catching my attention. "I wonder why he's sitting alone today?"
I followed her gaze, and sure enough, there was Edward, smiling crookedly, staring at me from an empty table across the cafeteria from where he usually sat. Once he'd caught my eye, he motioned with his right index finger for me to join him. Then, to my disbelief, he had the audacity to wink at me.
"Does he mean you?" Jessica asked with such astonishment it bordered on insulting.
"No, I think he's paging my imaginary friend," I retorted. "Who else? I'm his Biology partner. I bet he wants help on his homework or something." With that parting line, I sauntered away, ignoring the feeling of her stare burning holes in my back.
When I reached his table, I unloaded my backpack off the shoulder. I was already halfway into the chair when he invited me, "Why don't you sit down with me today?"
My cheeks flushed a delicate pink. Although, I had to give him credit—by officially inviting me to sit with him, he both made it clear that the power here was his, and made me feel rather rude for sitting down without being invited.
Then, I realized I was overanalyzing everything.
An awkward silence stretched between us, which I didn't mind at all. I proceeded to ignore him, and start on my lunch. Finally, I glanced up, and saw that Edward looked a lot more uncomfortable with not talking than I was. I decided to make it easy on him, open up the conversation. "So, this is different."
"Well," he paused, then the rest of the words came out in a rush. "I decided that as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly."
I glared at him again, my irritation evident in my expression. "Are you referring to the fact that you believe I'm evil enough to corrupt you, or are you worried about getting in trouble by being with me and have decided that you might as well go all-out?"
He flashed a smile. "Yeah. Well, the second part at least."
I snorted. "Okay, onto the next mysterious, lame statement with a cryptic undertone designed specifically to keep me up at night wondering. Which they kind of fail at doing, because I'm a heavy sleeper."
He glanced around. "Well, um, your friends look rather mad at me for stealing you."
Rolling my eyes, I replied, "Yeah, right. Well, my male friends might hate you, but I think my female friends are forever in your debt for giving them something to gossip about besides what dress they want to wear to the spring dance. Trust me, they'll survive without me."
"I might not give you back, though." His eyes glinted wickedly.
I felt fury rising in me, making my stomach burn. "No, Edward, you will not be 'giving me back,'" I spat. "To give me back, you have to own me in the first place. I am an independent woman. If I return to their table, it will be on my own terms."
He chuckled. "Someone has a temper."
"Get used to it."
"Oh, I plan to." My eyes widened, surprised. Was that the most pathetic pickup line ever, or had I been hearing hidden meanings that weren't really there?
"What brought this on?" I asked carefully.
"I told you—I got tired of trying to stay away from you, so I'm giving up." He was still smiling, but his eyes conveyed far more serious emotions.
"Edward, you were the one boy at this school who does not annoy me to the brink of insanity," I replied. "In addition, I did not begin to hate you once you opened your mouth. Sometimes, you actually have something worth listening to, to say. However, I'm tired of your weird statements which make absolutely no sense and have contradictory meanings. In plain, pre-schooler English: are we friends now?"
"Friends…" he mused, dubious.
"Acquaintances, companions, peers, however you wish to put it. Or will you go back to not talking to me, please? One or the other. I can't stand your weird, in-the-middle actions."
He grinned. "Well, we can try, I suppose. But I'm warning you now that I might not be a good friend for you."
I shrugged. "You say that a lot. Besides, I'll be the judge of what is or is not good for me."
His golden eyes smoldered, intense. "It's because you don't listen to me. If you were smart, you'd stay away from me."
I returned his gaze, retorting, "If you were smart, you'd stop trying to boss me around."
He smiled apologetically, and I turned back to my lunch. On the one hand, I missed the silent Edward who didn't bug me, but on the other, I was enjoying our verbal sparring matches immensely. It was a marvelous change from the normal high schooler's conversation, which I had discovered were no different if the only response was "Uh-huh."
"What are you thinking?" he asked curiously.
"Cogito, ergo sum. I think, therefore I am. Do you really think I'm going to blurt out my innermost identity by giving you access to my secret thoughts?"
Edward looked nearly sheepish. "Um, yes?"
I sighed. Flashing back to our previous conversation, he seemed pretty upset every time I brought up his super-powers. "I'm trying to figure out who—or what—you are. Care giving me a DNA sample, and making my life a lot easier?"
He shook his head, grinning, but I could see by the way his eyes narrowed slightly and his forehead crinkled that he was paying far more attention. "I'm more intrigued about how much luck you're having on your own."
I sighed, loud and fake. "Not much, you haven't been giving me much to go off of."
"Any theories?"
"A theory is a compilation of proven hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. I can't even make a hypothesis with the limited data you have provided. At best, I can make an educated guess, and even then it wouldn't be that educated. And even that, I'm not telling." I felt the childish urge to stick my tongue out at him, which I repressed.
His golden eyes narrowed. "You know, this is really frustrating," he complained.
"No, I don't see why it would be frustrating at all," I spat, getting out all my pent-up annoyance. "You not only defy the laws of physics, you defy the laws of how teenage high school boys act, according to moi. You've done a wide range of bizarre things, from saving my life under impossible circumstances one day to treating me like a pariah the next, and again, with no reasonable explanation. You are not the one allowed to be frustrated, okay?"
"So you admit that I saved your life?"
"That's beyond the point!"
We glared at each other, then suddenly, he broke off, staring over my shoulder. To my surprise and amusement, he began to grin. "Your boyfriend is quite mad at me. He's wondering if I'm being unpleasant to you, and is contemplating coming over and breaking us up."
"Don't think you can distract me," I snapped. Then, of course, I had to ask, "But who are you talking about? I don't have a boyfriend." I glanced over my shoulder to see Mike glaring at the pair of us. "Oh. Yeah, definitely not that brainless drone. But tell me, what gave you that idea?"
He smiled, glad that my annoyance was directed at someone else for a change. "Most people are easy for me to read."
"Everyone but me. Yeah, we've been through this before."
His mood shifted abruptly, his eyes turning brooding. "Yes, everyone except for you. I wonder why."
I looked at my food and decided that I definitely was going to pack a lunch for tomorrow, because this cafeteria stuff was complete junk. I pushed my plate away from me slightly, wincing.
"You're not hungry?"
"No, I am absolutely starving, and that is why I'm pushing the plate away from me." He looked at me blankly, and I sighed. "No, I'm not hungry. What about you? Aren't you hungry?"
"No, I'm not hungry either." His expression was one of morbid amusement, like he was enjoying some inside jokes. I'm fine with inside jokes, as long as I'm on the inside of them. Otherwise, I completely and utterly loathe them.
I wondered briefly why I was spending so much time with Cullen, if he made me this mad. Then I decided I sort of liked being mad, it made things fun.
"Could you do me a favor?" I asked, after a second's hesitation.
He was suddenly wary. "That depends on what the favor is."
"Actually, I don't have one in mind right now," I admitted. "I was trying to see if you would give me a blank check. Still, I think I'll save the favor for later."
"That sounds fair, may I have one thing in return?"
I grinned viciously. "Depends on what that one thing is."
"A theory."
"Evolution, the Big Bang, relativity—"
"Fine, a not-very-educated guess."
"Black holes do not exist because they are a mathematical improbability, there are no infinities in our universe—"
Now his voice was a little bit annoyed. "About me."
"Didn't I already tell you? Bipolar, weirdo, multiple personality disorder—"
"I mean what you thought about…you know…the van…and my…"
I laughed. "Will you stop interrupting me?"
He glared; I don't think he was finding this as amusing as I was. "Will you stop answering the wrong question?"
"Touché. Although, the way you phrased it, technically they weren't the wrong questions." I played with the cap of my water bottle, letting him squirm a bit, before beginning, "Well, I've considered bitten by radioactive spiders."
"That's not very creative," he scoffed. He almost looked a bit relieved beneath his swagger.
"Don't you dare insult the spider-monkey theory! I do not look in comic books for inspiration. My father and I created a serum that was supposed to create a super-soldier, which has absolutely nothing to do with my non-existent plans for world domination, and it was basically a radioactive venom. It worked, too—the guy went super-strong, super-fast, and indestructible for about three hours, then he died. We saw why—the mutagens in his bloodstream were actually producing extra chromosomes, and the stress on his cells was too much. Father figured if we had given him blood transfusions, we could have prolonged his life-span, but without them, it was only three hours."
Edward looked very, very nervous. "Well, sorry to disappoint you, but there are no radioactive spiders." He forced a laugh. "No kryptonite, either."
"Don't you dare put down radioactive crystals. Or was one slam into the wall not enough for you?" He winced at the memory.
I sighed. "I'll figure it out eventually," I continued.
"I wish you wouldn't try." His tone was dark, serious again.
"Give me one good reason."
"What if I'm not a superhero? What if I'm the bad guy?" He smiled playfully, but his eyes were impenetrable.
"Well, I'd have to say I'm very sorry," I replied, keeping my eyes glued to his face. His expression didn't disappoint: his eyes fell, and his mouth twisted up in a self-deprecating smirk. "In the oncoming world order of Cyclonia, lead by your truly, the role of 'Tyrant, Dictator, or Da Big Boss' has already been claimed. By Moi. However, I still am looking for evil henchman. The Dark Side is always hiring, and you know what they say about cookies isn't all rumors." His mouth fell open, like a capitol O, and his eyes went all wide. I smirked, continuing. "You know, really, this is the best news I've heard in a while. We can get together and drink tea and exchange world domination plans…" I trailed off, glancing up expectantly.
He finally recovered enough to speak. "You're not kidding, are you?"
"No, nope, no way, nada." I flashed him a smile. "You know, you better not be kidding, because that's called stringing a girl along and I will extract nasty revenge."
The bell rang, cutting off his reply, and I stood abruptly. "You coming? Or are you determined to be late?"
"I'm not going to class today." Somehow, he had managed to steal the lid of my water-bottle, and was now twirling it. Jerk. He better recycle.
"It's healthy to ditch class now and then."
"You know something I don't."
"I don't like it."
"How did you put it? The bell rang, are you determined to be late?"
I wanted to tell him that I was ditching, too, but knowing my previous records for ditching for days to participate in complex experiments, Chief Swan probably wouldn't take it so nicely. I would have to go to class. Then, I realized I was just standing there sputtering at him. I pivoted on one heel, then stormed out, leaving him sitting there, that annoying smile covering his face.
Time for Biology, or should I say bore-ology. Considering the amount that my knowledge had increased from information I had gathered in that class, I concluded that the latter would be a more appropriate name. I slid into my seat a few moments after the bell had rang, but lucky me, the teacher was even later than I was.
Mr. Banner came into the room, calling class to order. He seemed slightly out of breath and was balancing far to many cardboard boxes in his stubby arms. He plopped them all down on Mike's table, so roughly that one nearly capsized, and enlisted the boy to help his pass them around to everyone in the room.
"One piece from each box," he instructed, snapping on white gloves. I wrinkled my nose in disgust. Maybe it looked cool in movies, but in actual labs, you never snapped your gloves. Never. There were too many substances that you didn't want to fling or hit…it just gave me a bad feeling.
"Indicator card, four-pronged applicator, and micro-lancer," he explained, holding all of them up in turn. Instantly, my visceral feelings of dread found an intellectual base: there was a good chance that he had been doing blood-typing with all of his classes, and due to the funding of this school, 'sterile' meant 'run them under water in the men's restroom.' I felt nauseated at the thought of pricking myself with such an unsanitary tool.
He started at Mike's table, carefully putting one drop of water on all the squares, then grabbing Mike's hand and jabbing the spike in. I felt my stomach heave again, and I was completely thankful to Edward Cullen for making me too annoyed to eat lunch. Because if I had eaten…
"Mr. Banner, I already know my blood type," I said, trying to sound superior. I failed miserably, only giving a sick, weak impression. It also didn't help that I had begun to hyperventilate.
He sighed, then called, "Will someone take Miss Cyclonis to the nurse?"
I was too upset about the unsanitary lab equipment surrounding me to bother getting mad at him for messing up my name, again. Most of the teachers got it right, but some still stubbornly refused to call me my last name without adding the title 'Miss.'
Mike volunteered. Surprise, surprise. This guy just couldn't take a hint. I wondered if I threw up on him, would he stop trying to hit on me?
The boy offered me his shoulder to lean on, and even in my state, I managed to give him a look of loathing and disgust my father would have been proud of. Then, with as much dignity as I could muster, I stood on my own and walked out. He followed behind, tagging like a sad puppy-dog. (Seriously, what is with this boy and puppy dogs? Didn't he get the memo—I'm a cat person.) It took all my self-restraint not to sprint away from the scientists' nightmare of high school students, blood, and dirty, contaminated tools.
When we got out of the range of vision of the classroom, I stopped, sinking down the wall of lockers to a seated position of the floor. Mike plopped down next to me.
"You okay?"
"Fine, just need some air, keep that hand in your pocket!" I put my forehead in my hands, inhaling deeply, taking in the chill, crisp air.
"Cyclonis?" This was a different voice, from a bit of a distance. It was a low, velvety voice. A familiar voice. As in his voice.
I bit back a groan. Seriously, he had the worst timing. Of all the people I didn't want to see me weak, the only person who topped Edward Cullen was my father. I squeezed my eyes shut, wishing to disappear; it was an illogical response, but given my current nauseated, sickened condition, it was one to be expected.
Mike seemed stressed, his voice filled with tension. "I think she fainted. I'm not really sure why, she didn't even stick her finger."
Suddenly, I was no longer on the ground. "Cy? Can you hear me?"
I opened my eyes and snapped back weakly, "What do you think?"
"I'll take her to the nurse. You can go back to class now." He began walking forward, ignoring Mike's protests until the idiot boy shut up. It took me a few seconds to get used to the rocking feel of being carried, then I realized I sort of liked it. There was a soothing, calming aspect to the motions. Suddenly, I didn't feel like I was about to die. My breathing returned closer to normal.
"So, you faint at the sight of blood?" I looked up, slightly surprised he was speaking to me.
"No," I replied. "I find it repulsive to give insane high school students contaminated laboratory equipment, and then tell them to prick their fingers. It doesn't help that I was raised in a very…strict, ordered environment, especially when it came to laboratory hygiene."
"So…how would you put it, in simple, pre-schooler English? You don't faint at the sight of blood, you faint because of your paranoia of contamination?" He seemed highly amused, especially when it brought a chuckle out of me, too.
"You know, Edward, I find it quite hilarious when you can't think of a witty enough comeback of your own so you have to use one of mine." He continued chucking, though, his good mood refusing to be dampened.
As he got me to the front office, there were a chorus of "Oh, dears," first from the receptionist then the nurse. Nursey made me sit down with an ice pack, and Edward got me excused from my next class, Gym. It wasn't three minutes before someone else came limping into the sick room, also helped by Mike (which made me wonder if he was just interested in getting out of class after all), and I was let go.
I decided to make conversation as we walked along the buildings, the only students outside. It was a strange feel, like the whole place was deserted, but at the same time so alive.
"So, do you also faint at the sight of blood?"
Edward grimaced. "No."
"Then why ditch? Obviously, the blood typing was the something you knew which I didn't."
He was silent. "Okay, maybe I do. Just don't tell anyone."
I gazed at him carefully, taking in his posture, expression, and tone of voice. It was all perfect, too perfect. "I think you're lying. Your first answer was closer to the truth. I will figure you out, Edward." I turned, breaking off from him and heading towards my car.
His hand was on my shoulder in an instant. "Where do you think you're going?"
I flashed him a sneer. "Do you see any other ugly red trucks in the parking lot?"
"I said I would get you home safe, and I will. You're in no condition to drive."
I glared at him. Seriously, I was getting to be an expert at glaring because of the way he could so easily annoy me. "So, what? You want me to walk? You know, you're in no condition to order me around."
He grabbed my arm lightly, but dragged me with an iron grip towards his silver Volvo. After a few stumbling steps, I realized where he was taking me, and complied. When we finally reached the passenger door, he opened it for me, waiting.
"You are so pushy," I huffed.
"It's open."
I didn't move.
"You know, you'll make but three steps before I catch you, so don't even think of making a run for it."
"I wasn't," I leered. "I was contemplating which I disliked more: hearing the roar of my engine deafen me or the humiliation of backing down, on this issue at least."
His grin widened. "Get in, Cy."
I was about to correct him on the usage of my nickname, then I realized that we were 'friends' now, so he was allowed to called me that. Holding my head high, I slid into the seat, waiting for something else to further my embarrassment.
"So, you don't like your truck? You know, I wouldn't mind picking you up for school every morning."
"I prefer my independence more than I detest my truck, but give it a few weeks, and I'll probably be begging you."
He nodded, turning up the heater. As he started up the engine, the stereo turned on, playing a certain piano piece that I knew.
"Claire de Lune?"
"You know Debussy?"
"No, it was a random guess. Of course I do, I was forced to learn to play this song on the piano." Before he could ask, I continued, "My father made me take lessons from age three to five, he thought that it would give my fingers more precision in the laboratory."
He nodded, relaxing a bit. I closed my eyes and let the music wash over me.
Of course, the peace couldn't last. Not with Edward Cullen in the car. "So, I've heard a bit about your father, but what was your mother like?"
"I don't know," I replied shortly. "She died giving birth to me. A burden I've lived with my entire life."
He turned to face me, making me wonder how much safer it was to drive with him, asking, "How old are you, Cy?"
"You don't seem seventeen."
"Neither do you." He grimaced, and I almost felt bad for him. I guess extra maturity was another one of the strange, unexplained phenomena surrounding him?
"So you lived with your father?"
"What was he like?"
"Why are you asking me all these questions?" Edward was silent. "He's an absolute genius, very strict, but quite brilliant. I miss him a lot. I guess I was the only person who really understood him, and I worry about him sometimes. How he's getting along."
Edward nodded.
"So, are you going to tell me about your family?"
"What do you want to know?" he replied. His expression was guarded, and I knew the answers I received would be carefully worded as to not give anything away.
"The Cullens adopted you?"
"What about your real parents?"
"They died a long time ago."
I felt sorry for him—I knew what it was like to lack a parent. "I'm sorry," I whispered.
His eyes widened in sympathy. "Don't be," he assured me. "I don't remember that that clearly, and Carlisle and Esme have been my parents for a long time now."
"And you love them?"
"Absolutely. I couldn't imagine too better people."
Jealousy twisted in my gut. Rich, educated parents, siblings, the perfect family…what wasn't there to envy? My childhood had been bleak, and nonexistent; I was expected to behave as an adult since well before I had reached double digits. Although I knew it was such a gift to have received such higher learning, I still sometimes wished for the simpler pleasures of life.
A small change in the subject was needed. "What about your brothers and sisters?"
"My brothers and sisters will be highly annoyed with me if they are forced to wait in the rain."
I gave a small start, realizing we had reached Chief Swan's house. It wasn't like me to be so unobservant.
I got out of the car, into the cool, clean air, and couldn't help but smile. Really, the weather over here might be the only thing I did truly like.
"Cy? Will you promise me one thing?" His voice, his eyes, his entire expression was tense.
"Be careful this weekend." Then he drove away, leaving me to wonder what was so dangerous about the beaches at La Push.

|Game over: Guy Boucher has no tricks, only respect for Claude Julien
|05.28.11 at 2:38 am ET
Much was made of Lightning coach Guy Boucher's mind games, as they seemed, in the Eastern Conference finals. The Tampa coach, who does have a degree in psychology, displayed various tactics to seemingly mess with the Bruins' heads, from discussing imaginary Tim Thomas quotes to saying before each of the first two games that Patrice Bergeron would play, to overemphasizing Tyler Seguin's impact, to cleverly calling out a referee without using his name. During the series, Bruins coach Claude Julien would have subtle and not-so-subtle responses to Boucher's methods, noting that Boucher was hyping the Bruins more than he was his own team, and after Game 6, Julien said he feared the pre-game referee talk could have influenced the game.
With the series in the books, Boucher had one last press conference, and it turns out that if he used a trick at all, it was a case of killing Julien with kindness. When asked how he felt the Bruins might fare against the Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals, Boucher was sincere with his answer and made a point of it to express his respect for Julien.
"Both teams that make it there, to me, they are on even grounds, but one thing for sure, [the Bruins] are very well coached," Boucher said. "You know Claude, I coached against him in Juniors, he's always done a very good job. I was always very happy for his success in the past, obviously not tonight, but as he moves on, if there's somebody that is going to beat us, that's one guy I hope gets success."
|Bruins and Lightning taking different approaches on day of Game 7
|05.27.11 at 1:33 pm ET
There are plenty of ways a team could treat a game of Friday night's magnitude, and the Bruins and Lightning are taking two different approaches. Claude Julien said on Thursday that he wanted his players to be excited and he wanted them to fully realize the opportunity that was in front of them. He reiterated that Friday morning.
"Our guys just have to enjoy this whole process," Julien said. "As I mentioned yesterday, there's 27 teams right now that would love to have the opportunity that we have in the playoffs right now. This is one of those days where I think if you don't enjoy the moment, you're wasting a pretty precious day. You take advantage of it today, you get ready, you get excited about it, you come out tonight and you leave it all out there on the ice. Simple as that. Anything less than that is a waste of a day."
The Lightning are taking a slightly different approach. Guy Boucher is trying to rein in his team's emotions and not get caught up in the magnitude of the game.
"I think that's the challenge is to be able to control these emotions," Boucher said. "We didn't want our players or ourselves playing the game last night or this morning or this afternoon. It's our job to make sure that we stay focused on what we've got to to do, not the hype of everything else that this game means."
It will be interesting to see if one approach pays off more than the other, or if either approach even has an effect on the game. Players often say that everything goes out the window once you get into the flow of the game anyway, so it's entirely possible that neither team's game-day mindset will mean anything once the puck is dropped.
Versus NHL analyst and former NHL center Ed Olczyk joined the Mut & Merloni show Friday to talk about the Eastern Conference finals Game 7 showdown between the Bruins and Lightning. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
Olczyk made a comment during the Game 6 broadcast on Versus about Bruins coach Claude Julien needing to mix up the lines to get more consistent offense. While he acknowledged Friday, "I think Claude has pushed a lot of the right buttons," he stood by his analysis.
"If you look at the [David] Krejci line, with them having the majority of the success at even strength, I just kind of felt at that time, when you look up at the shot [totals] and there's not a lot of generating going on, you look to try to change it up," he said. "You look to add a little spark somewhere."
Olczyk also suggested making a change on the Bruins' power play, which has struggled all postseason.
"If you are struggling ' and I think at times the Bruins have done all the right things, they just haven't been able to score," he said. "So, the issue is, the check and balance is, do you drastically change your personnel and load up? I think for me, I think at some point if you're going to play Big Z [Zdeno Chara] in front of the net, I think you've got to put Patrice Bergeron on a point on the power play if you're not going to play him down low because you've got Krejci and [Nathan] Horton and Chara down there and you've got [Dennis] Seidenberg and [Tomas] Kaberle. I think you load up. I think you put Patrice Bergeron on a point on the power play with Dennis Seidenberg ' if that's my first unit."
Added Olczyk: "I would suggest loading up your first-power-play unit. And Patrice Bergeron's got to be on that first power-play unit. I just think he has that ability. He had a quiet game [Wednesday]. I think he's been terrific since he's come back, but he was very quiet, probably a little too quiet in Game 6. But for me, I would put Bergeron on a point with Seidenberg. I would put Kaberle on the second unit. And I would load up with Chara, Krejci and Horton on that first power-play unit. If you're going to go down, go down with your best guys. Go down swinging.
"But if the Bruins can play well defensively, and I think they will, I think they'll take on the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals."
|Mark Recchi only man missing from Bruins morning skate
|at 10:42 am ET
Mark Recchi was the only Bruin to not take the ice in Friday's morning skate in anticipation of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. Recchi generally takes his veteran option for morning skates, leaving a "Recchi's dozen" of the remaining 11 forwards plus healthy scratch Shawn Thornton out there for forwards.
Defensively, everyone was out there, including healthy scratches Shane Hnidy and Steven Kampfer. Hnidy did not participate in Wednesday's morning skate.
Check back following the skate for updates from players and coach Claude Julien.
|Bruins can draw on Game 7 vs. Canadiens, but only to a certain extent

The Bruins have experience winning a Game 7 at home, having done so against the Canadiens in the first round. But how much can they actually draw from that come Friday night? Players say at least a little.
"We got some confidence," David Krejci said Thursday. "We know we've been there before, so it's nothing new to us. Hopefully we can use our experience to our advantage tomorrow."
Perhaps that will be the case, but there a few flaws in the theory that the Game 7 against Montreal will give Boston any sort of an advantage Friday. First, the Bruins didn't look nervous at all to start that game. They jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 5:33, which is an anomaly for a team that has surrendered seven goals in the opening three minutes of games this postseason. So you can't really make the argument that they'll be less nervous.
Second, and more importantly, the Lightning aren't new to this whole Game 7 thing either. They beat the Penguins on the road in Game 7 in the first round, so no one should expect them to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere and magnitude of the game.
"Obviously we have played in a Game 7, but so have they," Chris Kelly said. "You can kind of look back and realize how you approached it, but at the end of the day, it's two new teams, a new situation and a new experience."
Kelly hit the nail on the head with that last line. A Game 7 in the first round is one thing. A Game 7 in the conference finals with a berth in the Stanley Cup finals on the line is another.
Claude Julien said his team realizes that and that he hopes his players are excited about it.
"Why shouldn't we be excited? This is what playoffs is all about," Julien said. "If you had told us at the beginning of the year that we had to win one game to go to the Stanley Cup finals, we would be excited about it. And that's where we're at right now."
|Looking back at Bruins' Game 7 history over last decade
|at 4:38 pm ET
The Bruins will be fighting for their playoff lives when they take the ice for yet another decisive Game 7.
How many times have B's fans heard that phrase in the last 10 years? Well, Friday night's Game 7 against the Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals will be the sixth time in the last decade that the men in black and gold have played in the most-pressure packed game in professional hockey. In fact, Boston has played in a Game 7 in five of the seven seasons that it qualified for the playoffs over that span.
But that Game 7 history hasn't been necessarily a good one. The Bruins are a horrid 1-4 in Game 7's since 2001, with the lone win finally coming this season in the opening round against the rival Canadiens.
Here's a look back at how the B's fared in each of their Game 7's of the past decade.
2004 Eastern Conference quarterfinals, 2-0 L vs. Canadiens
As the second seed in the Eastern Conference, this series against the seventh-seeded Habs should've been an easy one on paper. After the first four games of the series, it looked like that would certainly be the case as Boston jumped out to a 3-1 lead. But this was still the NHL playoffs, arguably the least predictable of all the professional North American postseason tournaments, and the Habs stormed back to score five goals in both Game 5 and Game 6 to tie the series.
In Game 7, it was Montreal goalie Jose Theodore's time to take over. The netminder stoned all 32 shots from the Bruins while Richard Zednik potted both goals in the third period, one on an empty net in the waning seconds, to give the Habs the series win. The Game 7 win marked the first time Montreal had ever come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a playoff series. If there's any silver lining for the Boston fans looking back on this loss, it's that current Bruins bench boss Claude Julien was actually calling the shots for the Canadiens at the time. (Julien is 2-3 in Game 7's for his career.) Read the rest of this entry »
BEDFORD — One day after a complaint about officiating may have suggested Guy Boucher could be getting to him, Bruins coach Claude Julien said Thursday at Hanscom Field that he is not concerned with what the Lightning head coach is saying.
Boucher called referee Eric Furlatt "lopsided" against the Lightning prior to Game 6 in Tampa Bay, and after a game in which the Bruins weren't satisfied with the four penalties called against them, Julien said that "hopefully what was said [by Boucher] didn't have any impact" on the officiating. Boucher fired back in his press conference by pulling out the box score and counting that the Bruins were penalized less than the Lightning.
After the team landed in Bedford, Julien declined to take the semi-war of words any further.
"I'll tell you what," the coach said. "I've been around this game too long to worry about what's going on on the other side. Right now I'm focused on our team. It's as simple as that."
Game 7 will be played Friday at TD Garden.

Third party sellers on Amazon right now are charging a ridiculous $144 for the Tales of Zestiria Collector's Edition on PS4. While normally a $100 purchase, it appears GameStop is looking to sell off its stock with a rare discount to $70 with either free shipping or store pickup available. Besides the base game, the Collector's Edition includes a Steelbook case, Dawn of the Shepherd Blu-ray, Hardcover artbook, DLC pack, Chibi kyun Chara Figure set, 8-bit Retro Keychains, and Special Selection music CD.
This week Green Man Gaming launched a Grand Theft Auto V sale for PC. The GTA V game itself is 48% off after coupon, which is a good deal, but perhaps more interesting are the discounts on Grand Theft Auto Online Shark cards. The Megalodon Shark Card ($8 million in-game cash) is down from $100 to only $56 – a rare 44% off. Similar discounts on the less expensive Whale and Great White Shark Cards. Note that the copy of GTAV is a Rockstar Social key vs. a Steam key (of which a Rockstar Social Club account will be required anyways).
Another notable offer this week on PC is a 25% price break on Dark Souls III. Now until Tuesday's release, GamesPlanet has the price down to £31.99 in British Pounds (20% off). While they only display that GBP price, you can buy world wide, which after currency conversion translates into only $44.99 today – a full 25% off. Fully authorized retailer, so you'll get the Soundtrack pre-order bonus and pre-load if available.

Trinity is part DJ, part live act. Part house, part techno. Part Sydney, part Berlin. The finished product is one that encapsulates all of the above.
In her hometown of Sydney, Trinity runs events "Nightime Drama" and "4our" that have carved a niche in Sydney's underground scene showcasing the likes of Peter Van Hoesen and Steffi.
Trinity has performed across Australia, displaying a versatility of sounds such as pounding techno, minimal and Chicago house along more dub techno soundscapes, playing alongside artists such as Dasha Rush, Vril and Marcel Dettmann.
In the cooler months, she heads to Europe and spins at clubs like Harry Klein in Munich, Kompass in Ghent. In 2014 she unveiled her new live techno set in the basement at Berlin's fabled techno hub, Tresor.
An established producer, she recently joined the Nightime Drama family – a stable that includes XDB, Patrice Scott and Eli Verveine. Trinity's first vinyl record was released on this label with Eric Cloutier contributing a remix to the release. The second record included a remix by Steven Tang which was played at Panorama Bar the first week of release. Dreams, they do come true.
Trinity's debut album 'Blinded by 1000 Points of Light' co-produced with friend John Tzineris dropped in 2014. Showcasing nine tracks comprised of atmospheric melodies and deep chords, it traverses techno and minimal soundscapes – all recorded live.
Trinity is the thinking musician's musician. From the pride and care evident in all her productions, to the ability to get a dance floor absolutely heaving — she is a musical force to be experienced, savored and enjoyed.

Eric's work schedule for the past five months is a schedule I wouldn't wish on anyone — or anyone's significant other. His final deadline is on Monday, and I couldn't be happier for life to return to normal. Five months is a long time to be a supportive girlfriend. (Although, admittedly, sometimes I was less supportive than he would have liked.)
But the good news is, he realized last night that the best way to bounce back from five months of stress is with a vacation!
And…I need your input on where to go!
First, I'm not a beach person. I'm not opposed — I enjoy a day at the beach — but it's not my first choice. Not only do I not really like the water, but it's 80 and sunny in Houston right now, so I don't feel like hot weather is synonymous with vacation anymore. But if we're doing something hot and sunny, I'd prefer a great pool to a beautiful beach.
Second, I like my vacations to be a little bit busy. (That is probably the main reason I'm not a beach person.) The reason I love traveling abroad is because there are so many historic sites to visit, tours to go on, and things to do all day. And at night, there are a lot of drinks to be drunk and foreigners to flirt with.
- Sleep in later than I ever would at home (because I was out all night the night before).
- Sober up and/or rehash the shameless behavior of the night before.
- Go out to lunch and then do one or two cultural/historic/touristy things in the afternoon.
- Grab a snack from a street vendor or cafe and something to make for dinner from the grocery store and head back to the flat/hostel/hotel.
- Take a late disco nap.
- Have dinner and lots of drinks at the flat/hostel/hotel. (Go out to dinner at least once or twice during the trip.)
- Go out all night. Do something shameless with someone forgettable.
Now, as fun as that agenda is, it is probably not the way I want to do vacation with my boyfriend, especially since we're over the age of, um, 22, so let me update that a bit to express what I'd like to do on this vacation.
- Don't set an alarm, but naturally wake up kind of early. (Except for a few days when we were up all night the night before. In that case, sleep in late, have some morning sex, check the itinerary, and say, "Ooops, we missed the tour!" Then do nothing but read in bed until dinner.)
- Go do something fun/relaxing (shopping, going for a walk through downtown) OR something cultural/historic/touristy.
- Go out to lunch.
- Do something cultural/historic/touristy OR something fun/relaxing.
- Grab a snack and then head back to the hotel to change for dinner and have a couple drinks. Maybe work out if there is time, but probably not.
- Go out to dinner someplace delicious and drink a little too much.
- Go to a cool bar or do something cultural (show/concert/comedy club).
- Have lots of sex.
My main thing is that I want to be sure we go some place with enough to do that I don't feel bored, but I have no desire to be overscheduled. I'd rather be out and about in town than reading by the pool, but I'm sure Eric will want a few totally lazy days, in which case I'd like to go someplace where I can go off on my own when I want to.
And we definitely don't have go to a big city; I'm mostly concerned with what there is to do and what the weather will be like in April (not very warm is fine; cold and rainy is not).
Oh, and two more things to keep in mind! We're sticking to the US and we're looking for something that would work over about five days (like a Wednesday to Sunday trip).
So, with that in mind, do you have any fabulous US cities to suggest? (And I mean US cities that don't just happen to be your city. It's not that I don't want to hang out with you…it's just that I only want to see you on this trip if you happen to live some place that fits in with all the other criterion! We haven't decided if we want to go somewhere where we have friends to see, but if we do go that route, I'll be pushing hard for D.C. or New York.) I have a few destinations in mind, but I'm not an experienced US traveler and I don't know enough about all the great things to do here.
Oh and if anyone can tell me why I feel like Stacey McGill right now and where said baby-sitter decided to go when faced with the same situation, you'll win major bonus points.

And not only my users constantly complain about it. AFAIK this is also true for other commons components. Though, there is an end of live for jdk1.3 and so we sould also to define such a point in the future. Personally I see this point reached in 6 months, but understand if we have to stick on 1.3 for the next year. Then we should jump to jdk 1.5 (with jdk 1.4 api) and use retroweaver to provide the jdk 1.4 version. Our releases should then contain jars for both (1.5 and 1.4) I know there are the same issues with api compatibility, but if we run our tests against both jdks we should be fine, also it might be possible to have an api checker which will check the generated classes against the classpath. Whatever, we might find a way to archive this. I know, this is somehow radical, but our code starts to smell and become spider webs if we have to stick on 1.3 for the time being ;-) --- Mario --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Immigration To Australia | Introduction : Immigration Solutions Mumbai
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) manages the arrival and settlement of migrants to Australia. Australian immigration is controlled by the Migration Act 1958 and associated Regulations.
Immigration Solutions Mumbai has been providing honest and professional services for migration to Australia. Many of the client's reviews and ... kindly visit ashttp://immigrationsol.com
Most Australian citizens have the right to enter or leave Australia at will. For citizens of other countries wishing to visit, work or remain permanently in Australia, a visa is required.
This guide explains, the different visa types, how to choose the most appropriate option and then apply for an Australian visa.
The many varieties of Australian visas fall into two broad categories: temporary and permanent.
There aresix main categories of permanent visas:
skilled migration
family migration (http://www.hwimmigrationlawyers.com/
business migration (http://www.hwimmigrationlawyers.com/
employer-sponsored (http://www.hwimmigrationlawyers.com/
refugee / humanitarian, and
special eligibility (former Australian residents)
Temporary visas allow people to visit Australia for a limited time for the purposes of tourism, study, work, business, medical treatment or to visit relatives.
Beyond these major categories of permanent and temporary visas there are approximately 140 Australian visa subclasses with their own sets of eligibility criteria.
Consequently, the task of deciding which visa to apply for can be quite demanding. Furthermore, these criteria intersect with the extensive and complex structures of Australian immigration law.
Reviews Immigration Solutions Mumbai Review Immigration Consultants in Mumbai, India provides Immigration Migration Visa Consultants...... kindly visit ashttp://immigrationsol.com
Australia had a largely discretionary migration system until 1994, when new regulations were introduced. The legal framework establishes definitions of key criteria, processing priority guidelines, policy guidelines used by immigration to interpret and apply the criteria, when an application is validly made, what family members may be included in an application, the conditions applicable to visas, the powers of the Minister for Immigration including important powers to determine and cap annual visa numbers and appeal options available if a visa is refused.
This overview offers a guide to the Australian immigration system and the legal processes that govern it.

Australian Immigration System
The Australian system of government
In order to properly understand how Australia's immigration laws work, it is important firstly to have an understanding of Australia's system of government.
Australia has operated as a 'federation'
All Australian laws relating to immigration and citizenship are determined at the national level by the Australian Commonwealth – that is, the federal Parliament of Australia.
The divisions of responsibility between the levels of government, as well as the powers of the Commonwealth Parliament, are set out in section 51 of the Australian Constitution. Specifically relating to immigration, section 51 of the Constitution grants the Australian Commonwealth Parliament the power to legislate (make laws) concerning naturalisation, aliens, immigration and emigration. Thus it is the Commonwealth Government, and not the states, territories or local councils, that is responsible for making any laws regarding Australian immigration and citizenship.
The Constitution also sets out a doctrine of governance that divides the functions of each level of government into three distinct branches known as the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. This is referred to as a 'separation of powers' and is designed to ensure that Australian governments and laws retain their integrity and remain fair and impartial. Put simply, the legislature makes the law, the executive applies the law and the judiciary interprets the law.
In Australia, the legislature is the Australian Parliament, the executive consists of the portfolio-holding ministers of parliament responsible for the different government departments (for example, the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship is responsible for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship)
