"American Idol's" final 4 took to the stage once again on Wednesday night (no one was sent home last week), and Access Hollywood caught up with the gals after to the show to find out how they felt about their performances.
Candice Glover - the golden girl for the evening - was happy with her performances and thrilled by the judges' positive feedback.
"It felt really good -- especially after coming from the Bottom 2 last week," Candice said. "Last week felt horrible. I [have] never been in the Bottom 2 before. It does not feel good.
PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Alumni
"So I know that I said, 'OK, this week I'm coming out swinging. I'm not playing no games,'" she added. "I have to get everything together. So I'm just glad that they love my take on both songs."
Kree Harrison, whose performance of "Stormy Weather" caused a tiff between Randy Jackson and guest mentor Harry Connick Jr. over which superstar's version of the classic she should have performed - said she agreed with Randy's opinion, but loves Harry.

"I definitely agree with Randy -- at the end of the day, I've got to be Kree," she said. "I love Harry, I think he's so hilarious. We had so much fun with him and the fact that we are from the same part of the world, I love. He's just good people and I've respected him -- not just as a person, as an actor, but especially as a musician because he [performs] jazz standards -- that's my lane."
Angie Miller defended her toned-down version of Rihanna's "Diamonds" (which judge Nicki Minaj didn't care for).
"It was meant to be a very unplugged, very acoustic version of the song," she explained. "There wasn't really like a big like, climax to it and that was on purpose. So, it kind of stinks that they didn't like that and they wanted the climax.
"But I don't think that every performance needs to have that big bang," she added.

Amber Holcomb, whose performance of "My Funny Valentine" wowed the judges, said she feels confident heading into Thursday's elimination round.
"Whatever happens, I feel like I will be OK," she said. "'American Idol' is a platform and it let America [see] who I am. So, I mean I [couldn't] be happier with my position."

Most of us think of Microsoft Excel as a number-crunching tool. In the right hands, however, the software can produce some impressive art.
Tatsuo Horiuchi, a 73-year old painter, exhibits his elaborative Excel-made artwork in Japan. He uses the program's "Auto Shape" features to create elaborate Japanese motifs, skipping expensive dedicated graphics programs and painting more easily than with actual paint. In an interview with PC Online, Horiuchi says he tried using Word at first, but the page size limitations made Excel a better option.
Take a look:
It takes a skilled artist to transform Excel into a painting tool, but with all the sophisticated shapes, you could try it out too. [h/t Instant Fundas]

PHNOM PENH – Italy's Mount Etna, the hill forts of Rajasthan and the Namib Sand Sea were among the natural wonders and cultural jewels granted World Heritage status by UNESCO at its annual meeting on Friday.
Other entrants into the coveted list include the Mountains of the Pamirs in Tajikistan and China's Tianshan range.
"From vast deserts in Namibia and Mexico to high mountain ranges in China and Tajikistan and a volcano in Italy, the new World Heritage Sites are a celebration of the beauty of nature and our joint commitment to conserve it for generations to come," said Tim Badman of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Mount Etna, at 3,300 meters the tallest active volcano on the European continent, has been written about for 2,700 years and has "one of the world's longest documented records of historical volcanism," UNESCO said.
According to local legend, on Etna there is a sweet chestnut tree that once sheltered hundreds of horsemen during a storm. The kingdom of Sicily issued an act of "public protection" for the tree in 1745 — one of the world's first recorded environmental protection actions.
UNESCO also inscribed the Namib Sand Sea, "the world's only coastal desert that includes extensive dune fields influenced by fog," to the World Heritage list.
"It is an outstanding example of the scenic, geomorphological, ecological and evolutionary consequences of wind-driven processes interacting with geology and biology," UNESCO said, highlighting the richness of flora and fauna in the desert.
The six hill forts in northwestern India were hailed as "the most authentic, best conserved and most representative sites of Rajput military architecture of Rajasthan region."
Other sites that won heritage status included the El Pinacate and Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve in Mexico thanks to their "dramatic combination of desert landforms, comprising both volcanic and dune systems as dominant features."
UNESCO also inscribed 16 wooden tserkvas (churches) in the Carpathian mountains of Poland and Ukraine, saying they were "outstanding examples of the once widespread Orthodox ecclesiastical timber building tradition in the Slavic countries that survives to this day."
The Mountains of the Pamirs, home to the longest valley glacier outside the polar region as well as a number of threatened birds and mammals, are Tajikistan's first natural World Heritage site.

New Delhi, Dec. 20: The prospect of Etihad picking up a stake in Jet Airways looks bright as the revival proposal of Kingfisher Airlines has failed to enthuse the Gulf-based carrier.
Both Kingfisher and Jet are in talks with Etihad for a stake sale and a decision is likely by next week, a civil aviation ministry official said.
Since last year, Etihad has been on a buying spree, picking up minority stakes in Virgin Australia and Ireland's Aer Lingus and raising its shareholdings in Air Berlin and Air Seychelles.
Sources said the airline was interested in an Indian carrier to increase its presence in the country.
Kingfisher Airlines chairman Vijay Mallya and chief executive officer Sanjay Aggarwal had been in talks with Etihad. Mallya made personal presentations on restructuring his airline's debt in case of a possible deal. However, sources said the talks had remained inconclusive. Etihad will only consider buying a majority stake if it is convinced about the revival plan.
According to sources, Etihad officials have asked Kingfisher to pay salaries to its employees to begin operations. Mallya has decided to infuse Rs 425 crore into the carrier to partially restart operations.
Airline sources said the carrier was likely to resume operations with 21 aircraft but had not set a date to submit its revival plan to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The airline's licence, which was suspended on October 20, is set to expire on December 31.
Mallya has been seeking funds for Kingfisher for more than two years. The airline, which had the second highest market share in India a year ago, has not made any profit and has an accumulated debt of Rs 8,500 crore.
According to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (Capa), Jet Airways will be the most viable option for foreign direct investment, and Etihad is likely to finalise a deal with the Naresh Goyal-led carrier.
"Jet is a powerful franchise and it would be very valuable for any alliance or airline," Capa's India unit official said. "It looks that Jet might be the first carrier to receive foreign airline investment after the recent policy change."
According to industry insiders, buying into Jet is more lucrative for Etihad as it can target the market share of Air India and Dubai-based Emirates Airline, which dominate routes between India and West Asia. Jet Airways has a code-share agreement with Etihad for the Abu Dhabi-Paris route. This is in addition to the existing code-sharing between the two for flights connecting Mumbai and Delhi to Abu Dhabi.
Jet Airways had 116 aircraft, including Boeing and Airbus planes, and flies to 125 destinations, including Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Jeddah, Kuwait and Muscat.

Hi, I am working on my first theme and the first ever style switcher. I am not a jQuery ninja so i need help!! I am following the style switching method from following: http://designshack.net/articles/css-style-switcher It is working very good but I need to change background image as it changes the colors.(i dont want to use separate stylesheets for backgrounds) So how can we change the background image which may remain the same even after refreshing the page?
They've used the cookies method in above example for stylesheets, but how can we use the same for separate image backgrounds?
I've added all the data in a fiddle. http://jsfiddle.net/mrto2/e9bbn/16 .Now the color schemes/fonts are working perfectly. When we click on blue then the font changes into blue and cookies are stored. (Default is not working in fiddle but its perfect in my PC). I've tried to add background image switch but it is giving 2 problems.
1) the cookies are not stored for background image/pattern. (here i need your help the most. If You could incorporate it into "styleswitcher.js" or just into fiddle then my life would be easier)
2) Just the background color is working and it is not picking the background image….
I's be very grateful if anyone could help or my life would be much easier if someone can share complete code of such switcher…..

Karl Hinett and Jaco Van Gass Honoured In Debretts "People of Today'
Jaco Van Gass and Karl Hinett who took part in Walking With The Wounded's 2012 Everest expedition have been included in this year's edition of Debrett's People of Today.
Debrett's publishes the influence edition of Peerage and Baronetages. In 1982, the publisher diversified away from the aristocracy with its People of Today edition. People of Today a keeps a record of luminaries within the British establishment like newspaper editors or Nobel prize winners.
2012's People of Today is a much more democratic affair and includes everyone from TV presenters, Olympians to our very own Walking With The Wounded alumni.
To have Karl and Jaco appear in a list of honours that includes this year's crop of Olympic heroes is a tremendous honour and shows how much these two have achieved despite their life-changing injuries.
Congratulations to both.

Johnny B. Goode, Or Else!by Jeffrey Alan Schechter
Halfway across the universe, the possible acceptance of Earth into the Federation Of Celestial
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
If ever there was a kid that could blend into a crowd, Jonathan Benjamin Goode is that kid. Johnny is the most average kid in the world; solid 'B-' student in school, teachers often forget his name, he never makes an impression on anyone. That's all about to change.
Halfway across the universe, the possible acceptance of Earth into the Federation Of Celestial Orbiters (F.O.C.O.) is discussed. F.O.C.O. is the governing body of planets; with alien ambassadors of all shapes and sizes meeting in an orbiting space station to work out their differences, share knowledge, and keep peace in the universe. Once a planet becomes civilized enough to be considered it must first be tested to see if the inhabitants would make good citizens of the universe. Earth is the next planet up for consideration. The only question is...are the inhabitants of Earth sufficiently evolved to be members of F.O.C.O.?
In keeping with Federation policy, a representative of Earth is selected to undergo five tests to proves his "universanity" (as compared to "humanity"). If the earthling representative passes all five tests, earth will be admitted into the Federation. If the representative fails even one of the tests...Earth will be turned into a Class 5 slave planet; basically, stuck washing the boxer shorts of the universe until the sun burns out. In order to make the tests as fair as possible, the most average person on the planet is given the honor of representing the planet. Johnny B. Goode is chosen by F.O.C.O. as the world's most average person, and the Tests of Inclusion begin.
Making things more complicated, Johnny is allowed to tell only one person about his exalted role as earth's representative. As it is explained to him, if too many people know what he's doing it will throw off the test results. Does Johnny tell his mother? His best friend? A trusted teacher? No! Johnny accidentally tells Amber Barnes, the most beautiful, perfect girl in school who is forced to become his reluctant ally.
Together, Johnny and Amber must figure out how to pass each of the five tests to prove that our planet is ready for cosmic citizenship. Will they do it? The Earth's fate rests on the very average shoulders of Johnny B. Goode.

Østensjøvannet ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a lake in Oslo, capital of Norway. It is well known for the wide variety of birds and other wildlife that can be found there. It is surrounded by the Østensjø borough. It is currently a wildlife preserve, though urban development posed a serious threat to the lake and its environs during the 1980s and early 1990s.
The name[edit]
Østensjøvannet ("Østensjø lake") is named after the old Østensjø farm (Norse Austansjór). The first element is austan 'east of', and the last element is sjór 'sea, lake'. The farm is situated on the lake's east side. The last element is the finite form of vann 'water; lake'. The meaning of the name is then 'the lake belonging to the farm Østensjø'.
Østensjøvannet is well known for its birdlife, and over 200 different species of birds have been sighted at or near the lake, quite a significant number by Norwegian standards.
Other wildlife is regularly sighted at the lake, but the variety of species is not much different from surrounding places, such as Østmarka.
Fishing during the summer is forbidden, while ice-fishing is allowed.
Cultural history[edit]
Finds in the area suggest that people may have been living in the area as far back as the stone age. Farming in the area started around 500 AD. At various locations surrounding the lake, there are burial mounds from the Viking Age.
Abildsø Farm, located on the lake's west side, was Norway's second farm school, and is where Minna Wetlesen started Europe's, and possibly the world's first "household"-school where girls and young women could learn about running a household and performing the various tasks related to it.
Environmental issues[edit]
Situated inside the Oslo city limits, surrounded on all sides by built-up areas, has put a considerable strain on the lake, both in terms of pollution (especially caused by leaks from less-than-perfectly maintained sewage systems) and plans for using the fields and forested areas surrounding the lake for various purposes, including housing, a cemetery and even a small golf course.
The lake itself has been a wildlife preserve since 1992, while Abildsø Farm was preserved by the Norwegian Riksantikvar in 1997. June 11, 2002, the Oslo city council passed plans for the "Østensjøvannet Environmental Park", which in effect preserves the various habitats and "green areas" surrounding the lake.
The sewage systems affecting the lake have been better maintained in recent years, and the environmental state of the lake is currently much better than it was a decade or two ago.

Rick Owens Hires Competitive Step Team To Replace Waifish Models [Video]
Fierce women shoulder their way to the stage for Fashion Week in Paris.
Instead of having to watch yet another stick-thin model glide down the runway at this year's Fashion Week in Paris, Rick Owens decided to blow people away with a troupe of step team dancers who quite literally shook the stage.
According to a tweet from Bergdorf Goodman's Linda Fargo, the dance team was brought in from the US, and they weren't there to blend in to the background either. The dancers made sure to put on their most intimidating faces, stomping down the runway and leaving no doubt in the audience's mind that they were brimming with confidence.
Modelling the designers Spring 2014 collection, it also made a refreshing change that these models had the kind of body you would expect to find on a real woman. The demonstration also made sure to crush recent discussions around lack of diversity and race on the runway.
You won't be able to fully understand just how powerful these women are without watching the video:

TORONTO, Ont.– As the global economy continues to recover, demand for Canada's exports will pick-up, fuelling real GDP growth in the period ahead, according to the latest RBC Economics outlook. RBC is forecasting real GDP growth of 2.5 per cent in 2014 and 2.7 per cent in 2015.
"For the last four years the household sector has been the key driver of Canada's economic growth. We expect that to change in 2014 – as the global economy continues on its path to recovery, exports will become increasingly central toCanada's growth story," said Craig Wright, senior vice-president and chief economist, RBC. "Not only will the drivers of growth change, but the pace of economic activity will gather speed following two years of sub-potential increases."
RBC notes that this transition has already started to happen. Net international trade contributed a relatively modest 0.3 percentage points to growth in 2013, which represented the first positive contribution since 2001.
Export volumes stood 5.0 per cent below their pre-recession peak at the end of 2013. A large part of this underperformance is attributable to the subpar U.S. recovery, says RBC. Competitiveness issues also weighed on growth; the relatively strong Canadian dollar during the post-recession period was one of these factors.
"It is the changing fortunes of both the U.S. economy and the Canadian dollar that will act as catalysts for stronger exports in the year ahead," added Wright.
RBC expects the loonie will trade at $0.87 U.S. at the end of 2014 and $0.85 U.S. at year-end 2015.
"A weaker Canadian dollar enhances the competitiveness of Canadian goods in the U.S. market – historically, a 10 per cent depreciation boosting export volumes by 3.3 per cent in the following two years," explained Wright.
RBC expects the majority of provincial economies in Canada to accelerate their pace of growth in 2014. Alberta will stand atop the provincial growth rankings, well ahead of Ontario, the only other province to grow at or above the national rate. The remaining provinces will grow at varying paces below the national average.

Upon holding up her newborn child for cameras, 11-year-old Kordeza Zhelyazkova said, "I'm not going to play with toys any more – I have a new toy now."
Kordeza went into labor during the wedding ceremony to her teenage boyfriend Jeliazko Dimitrov. She still was still wearing the white dress and tiara when she gave birth to her daughter, Violeta.
Dimitrov, who is facing up to six year in prison for having sex with a minor, met Kordeza on the playground of her Roma gypsy school in Sliven, Bulgaria. Within a week Kordeza was pregnant.
Her family greeted the news warmly as a girl giving birth at 13 years of age is fairly regular in Sliven.
For now Dimitrov, his child bride and baby will live separately as prosecutors the statutory rape case. The legal age in Bulgaria is 14. Kordeza will live with her grandmother in a dilapidated house in Sliven's gypsy ghetto.
On her plans for the future, Kordeza says, "I don't want more children right away. I think one is enough for now."
That's probably best.

One of the more common things people need to do is transfer files from their mobile device or tablet to their desktop. Sometimes it's a photo, sometimes it's a song, and many other times it's some sort of document, presentation, or other file that needs transferred. There are actually quite a few ways to transfer files from Android to PC (and back again) and we'll take a look at them here.
- Put some more bounce in your step with the best productivity apps for Android!
- Get even more work done with the best office apps for Android!
[Price: Free]
AirDroid is one of the most popular ways to access your Android device from your PC. With it you can do things like send/receive SMS messages, see notifications, and they're currently testing out ways to control Android and use apps like WhatsApp, WeChat, etc but that feature requires root. There are also plenty of other features. Of course, you can also send files to your PC from Android and vice versa and you don't have to connect your device to any specific network to do it. It's a great way to put your Android device on your computer.
Cloud Storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box.com, etc)
[Price: Varies]
One of the most popular ways to deal with files is to put them in cloud storage. Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box.com, and many other cloud storage companies let you sync your device to the cloud and also have integration with PC. Thus, you can send files to the cloud then access them in your web browser or download them to your PC for later use. Then you can upload stuff to your cloud storage from your PC and access them on your Android device. Uploads can take some time, depending on your Internet speed, but it's a great way to not only transfer, but store files in a place where everyone can see them. Check out this article for the best cloud storage apps!
[Price: Free / $4.99 per month / $39.99 per year]
In the space of apps that connect PCs to Android devices, Pushbullet is right up there with AirDroid as one that is considered "among the best". It does the SMS send/receive from PC along with stuff like copying a link from Android and pasting it on PC, check notifications, and file transfers. Like AirDroid, your device connects to your PC regardless of what data network its on so you can transfer files and check messages from anywhere which is nice and the developers have been working hard to create a clean cut and efficient interface as well. There's also a Chrome extension for easier use. It's free to use many of the features, but obtaining all of them will run you about $40/year.
Solid Explorer
[Price: Free / $2.99]
Solid Explorer has grown up quite a bit in a short time and is now among the best file manager apps available right now. On top of being a top notch experience for browsing your various files, it also comes with FTP, SFTP, WebDav, and SMB/CIFS baked in so you can connect to the Internet in various ways and download various files. It also has cloud storage support for a variety of services which can help you navigate them fmore quickly. It also comes with foot tools, Chromecast support, and a ton of other features. It's free to try as a trial, but eventually you'll have to fork out the $2.99 to use the full version.
Sync by BitTorrent
[Price: Free]
Sync by BitTorrent is an application that those with security concerns should definitely read more about. Sync allows you to pair your device with a computer without using the cloud or anything like that so you can transfer files between your devices directly. It has some decent features, including automatic camera backup, universal file type support, and the biggest feature is that it connects directly to your computer with no middle man. You can transfer as many files as your computer hard drive will hold and essentially turns your computer or laptop into your own, personal cloud storage server. It's completely free to use, so check it out!
Non-app ways to transfer files
If apps aren't your deal, there are still some other ways to transfer files from your PC to Android and vice versa.
- Use Bluetooth – If your laptop has a Bluetooth module or if you have a Bluetooth dongle for your desktop or laptop, you can pair your device with your computer using Bluetooth and send files that way. Do be warned, the transfer rates are very slow and you'll probably only want to do this with small text files, pictures, or documents. You probably don't want to use this for stuff like large videos or lots of files at once.
- USB On-The-Go – USB OTG cables allow you to connect your device to USB devices such as mice, keyboards, and external hard drives. That also includes flash drives. You can use the cable to transfer documents to your flash drive or external hard drive or off of those things on to your Android device. They're also relatively cheap on sites like Amazon and eBay.
- Share to email – This only works with small files like photos or documents, but you can send most types of files over email. There is a size limit for most services (usually around 20MB), but that's more than enough for something like a simple PDF file, a document, or even some music files. It's not optimal but it's easy and everyone has email.

Chapter 37 : Curious Cousins
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 25
Background: Font color:
"Are you introducing Scorpius to everyone today?" he asked as a cool breeze rustled through their hair.
Hugo whirled around and looked at Rose expectantly. Since he'd heard several days earlier that she had 'officially' decided to start calling Scorpius her boyfriend, he'd been very put out that she hadn't found the time to "put the two of us in a room" (as her brother had put it). When she'd pointed out that Hugo had spent plenty of time with Scorpius over the past several years, given how much time they spent with the Potters during holidays, he'd told her - with the wisdom of his vast thirteen years of life experience - that it simply wasn't the same.
"I don't know," she muttered, shoving her hands further into her jacket pockets. "I don't want anyone to scare him off."
Albus outright laughed at her. "Rosie, if you haven't managed to do that - don't look at me like that, you know what I mean - I don't see them doing it."
"Hey, there they are!" her brother exclaimed, jolting her back into the present. Three figures were waving to them from their position near the entrance to the village.
"Good morning!" Victoire called out as they approached. "I feel like I haven't seen all of you in ages."
"It's only been a few months," Dominique pointed out. She'd been leaning on the sign denoting the village's name.
Victoire smiled, and Rose could have sworn that a dreamy look appeared in her eyes. "But so much can happen in a few months, can't it?"
Dominique straightened up and rolled her eyes at Rose. "They're -" she started, gesturing to Victoire and Teddy, who had his arm around the redhead, " - getting married next summer. I suppose you're going to have to get dressed up, too. They'll have a time finding a color that suits all of us that isn't black or white."
Rose had never been to a wedding before, and while it wasn't particularly surprising that Teddy and Victoire would decide to take that final step - they'd been living together for years - she wasn't quite sure how to respond. She was happy for them, but she had absolutely no idea how to express it. She managed to stumble through a congratulations while Albus and Hugo exchanged hugs with the two.
"Wow, Teddy, now you really will be part of the family, and I don't even have to live with James."
Teddy laughed and hugged his godbrother again. He didn't seem able to stop smiling. "Didn't your father quash that idea every time James brought it up?"
Dominique caught Rose's eye and seemed to understand her predicament. "I know," she said dryly. "Can you believe we're letting that rabble into the family?"
Rose grinned, and Victoire shoved her sister gently. "Shut up," she said as Hugo threw his arms around her again.
Dominique winked at Rose, who felt herself begin to relax. "Congratulations," she said again. "Really, guys. That's great."
Victoire peered into the groups of students streaming by. "Where's my brother? Have you seen him yet today?"
Just as they were shaking their heads, however, Louis emerged from one of the groups approaching them.
"Louis!" Victoire and Dominique cried simultaneously. Before he could do more than exchange a hug with them each, though, Victoire blurted out, "I'm getting married."
His eyes widened. "Right now?"
"Yes, right now," she said sarcastically. "No, you idiot, next summer."
He looked at Teddy. "You mean he's actually going to be my brother-in-law?"
"Hey, Lou. Nice to see you too."
Louis grinned. "No, really, congratulations." He hugged Victoire again before moving on to Teddy. "It'll be nice to call you my brother without using a qualifier."
This process was repeated three more times in the next fifteen minutes, with first the appearance of Lucy, then Lily, and finally James and Roxanne. By the time everyone had congratulated them and they'd begun to wander through the village, it was just after ten.
It was a perfectly enjoyable morning. Rose looked for an opening to mention Scorpius, but she couldn't find a way to work him into the conversation - though admittedly, she wasn't trying very hard - and her cousins were too distracted with talk of the upcoming wedding and generally catching up with Teddy, Victoire, and Dominique to do it for her.
By the time they entered the Three Broomsticks that afternoon, she'd essentially given up. She'd tell them next visit. As a group of them enjoyed their butterbeers (or, in Teddy's and Dominique's case, firewhiskey) at a table by one of the windows, Fred seemed to appear from nowhere and pulled a chair up to their table.
"Hey. I thought I might find you here. I can't be away for too long, but Dad sends a few of their people to help on days that the Hogwarts students come in, so I ducked out for a bit. We're making a killing. The new swamps are already sold out. What did you do with them?" Lily and Roxanne grinned at each other over their butterbeers, and Fred laughed. "Well, keep doing it every time we have a new product."
As Teddy talked about his most recent trip to France, which had apparently involved the catacombs, Rose saw Charlotte Finnigan walk into the Three Broomsticks with Evelyn and Noah's brother, Andrew. She nudged Dominique and jerked her head toward them. Dominique looked over, stiffened a little, and turned determinately back to Teddy.
Charlotte, Evelyn, and Andrew sat down at a table near them. Lucy leaned over and began talking to Andrew about an astronomy assignment. After a moment of hesitation, Charlotte called over, "Hi, Dominique."
Dominique turned. "Oh, I didn't see you come in," she said breezily. "How are you?"
Charlotte shrugged. "A little busy. You know how seventh year is. How's training?" she asked, her gaze lingering on Dominique's newly-shorn hair and the bandage on her arm.
Dominique laughed gaily and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Terrific. No regrets at all." She noticed Charlotte looking at her arm, and gestured toward the bandage. "Got a burn off a Welsh Green on Tuesday."
"Looks nasty," Charlotte commented.
"It'll be mostly healed by next week." Dominique shrugged. "Really, this is nothing. You should see the burn Piper got three weeks ago, she was in St. Mungo's for days."
Rose resisted the urge to sigh. From the way Dominique was addressing Charlotte, you would think that they were nothing more than casual acquaintances. In reality, they'd spent half of the previous year going out.
Victoire had stepped in and seemed to be trying to smooth everything over, which was funny in and of itself. Victoire could be quite blunt; if she was trying to play the peacemaker, Rose clearly wasn't the only one who thought that Dominique was being a bit unreasonable.
Charlotte hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you like to take a walk? We should catch up. I haven't talked to you in months."
Dominique shrugged, as though it didn't make any difference to her at all. Rose was fairly sure she didn't believe the show of apathy, so she wasn't surprised when Dominique answered, "I suppose. It's nice out. The fresh air would be nice."
James had apparently been listening in on their conversation, too, because as Dominique got up, he said, "Right, because you never get fresh air, since dragons are really indoor creatures at heart." As she walked past him, Dominique smacked the back of his head lightly. "Hey!" She looked over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out at him. He grinned back. After the door had closed behind them, he leaned over to Rose and whispered, "Don't you wish we had the cloak with us?"
"Yes," she admitted.
Victoire leaned over to them both and hissed, "If she doesn't tell you, she doesn't want you to know. Leave her be."
Rose frowned as a thought occurred to her. "Do you spy on me?"
"Nah." James took a drink of his butterbeer. "Your relationship isn't interesting enough. And unlike Dominique, you're willing to tell me about it."
"What relationship?" Victoire asked.
"Nothing," Rose said quickly, wishing that she could kick James without anyone else noticing. "James has got a girlfriend, though, he's going out with Marion Thomas. You should ask him all about it."
Victoire, Teddy, Fred, and Lucy all looked at James with interest. "So that's worked out, then?" Fred asked.
James, however, unlike Rose, was very difficult to phase. "Seems like that."
Louis did not seem nearly as interested by this. "Have you finally, then? It's about time. Hasn't she fancied you for years?"
This clearly did take James by surprise. "Has she?" He furrowed his brow. "How would you know?"
Louis shrugged. "You just need to pay more attention." He took a sip of his butterbeer and added, "But you shouldn't let Rose distract you from her relationship."
Albus grinned. "Yeah, we shouldn't. She has got a boyfriend."
"I - well - oh, shut up." Albus raised his eyebrows, and she felt her face start to burn. "You know, you're not helping."
"Were we meant to?" asked Roxanne. "I thought we were meant to embarrass you. My mistake."
"Who?" asked Victoire quickly.
"Scorpius," Albus said before she could reply. When she turned her gaze to glare at him, he was still grinning.
"Scorpius Malfoy?" asked Victoire, looking a little surprised. "Your friend?"
Albus nodded. Rose was starting to feel rather like a cornered rabbit. She was starting to wonder whether it would be worth it to jinx a cousin or two to make an escape when James shook his head.
"Rosie, you can't jinx us." He held up his arm. An innocent-looking charm was dangling off the cord around his wrist.
She scowled and glanced around the Three Broomsticks. She didn't see anyone who might have rescued her from the conversation, and Lucy had gotten distracted and was now chatting with Evelyn. This was quite unfortunate, as she was probably the only cousin who might have been willing to help Rose change the subject.
"Leave me alone," she mumbled. It would be just her luck if Scorpius walked into the Three Broomsticks just then.
"Hey, Scorpius!" Albus called. She jerked her head up and looked toward the door. There was no one there. She glared at Albus, and he laughed. She had just put her head back down onto the table when he called out again, and this time, she heard Scorpius' voice calling back.
She groaned and picked her head up off the table just in time to see Scorpius separating from Noah and Claire and made his way toward them. "Hey, Al. Rose." He paused. "The rest of you. It'd take half the afternoon to name all of you. No Dominique?"
"She'll be back at some point." Louis pulled a chair over to their table. "Sit down and let us interrogate you, I haven't had the chance to do it properly."
Scorpius hesitated. "Only if Rose is okay with it, since I assume that's why I'm being interrogated."
Rose sighed, deciding that it was probably best to just get it over with. If he wasn't going to break up with her for eavesdropping on him telling his cousin that he was in love with her, he probably wouldn't do so for this. "Yes, it's fine."
"All right." He sat down. "It's only that it looks like you could fry an egg on your face, and that's usually not a good thing."
"You're Johanna's cousin, right?" Teddy asked, and Scorpius nodded. Rose saw a small smirk and Teddy's face, and she realized that if Scorpius's cousin Johanna was really as close with Teddy as Scorpius seemed to think, her soon-to-be cousin probably already knew at least half of the story. "Who's your team?"
That was such an abrupt change of subject that it took Scorpius a few moments to process it. "Pride of Portree," he said at last. He looked apprehensive; he clearly knew that one's Quidditch team could be a major factor in getting a person's approval. This was especially true in Rose's family, but she didn't see how he could know that, unless he was drawing his conclusions from the number of them who had played Quidditch in school.
Teddy's expression cleared. "Oh, good." Teddy had been raised on Pride of Portree - not even Rose's aunt's time on the Harpies had been able to sway him from his grandmother's favorite team. "I'm a big Portree fan myself." He made a face. "No matter how much I hate McDonnell. I've heard they're getting tired of him, though; did you see that they started Cooper instead yesterday?"
Scorpius shook his head. "No. How'd he do?"
"Scored a hundred points," Teddy said. "Though I think Anderson and Grant both passed when they could have shot, to make him look even better. They're tired of McDonnell, too."
"Hold on," Fred said loudly. "Maybe Portree makes him acceptable to you, but it just makes it worse for me. Portree aren't willing to play rough. They're always whining about being hit or fouled—"
"So says the Falcons fan," Teddy said scornfully. "No, seriously, Scorpius, don't listen to Fred. He doesn't matter."
Rose had to admit to some amusement when, fifteen minutes later, they were all still bickering about Quidditch teams. Quidditch really was a good ice-breaker. Scorpius had clearly relaxed a fair amount: he was arguing with Louis about whether the Tornadoes' inconsistency was due to simple bad luck when Dominique returned.
"Hello, Scorpius Malfoy," she said, sitting down.
He looked at her. "Hi," he said, rubbing the back of his head. Her reappearance had clearly made him feel a little more awkward, and Rose had a brief moment of jealousy and insecurity before she realised that it was probably Dominique's slightly discomforting appraisal that was putting him on edge, not her looks.
Rose knew the feeling.
"We've been arguing about Quidditch teams," Fred told her, grinning.
"Who's your team?" Scorpius asked. Rose had to stop herself from groaning.
Dominique leaned back in her seat and folded her arms. "Arsenal."
Scorpius frowned. "Come again?"
"I said, Arsenal."
"Football," Rose said quickly. "Dominique thinks that football is better than Quidditch."
Scorpius opened his mouth, looking confused, and closed it again.
Teddy laughed. "Yeah, we all think she's mad, too. Don't worry."
Rose expected Dominique to begin reciting her list of all of the reasons why football was better than Quidditch, so she was surprised when her cousin led Teddy's comment go and instead asked, "What do you want to do when you leave Hogwarts, Scorpius?"
Despite the initial appraisal, Dominique was clearly on her best behavior. Rose made a mental note to thank her later.
"I'm thinking about being a Healer," he said tentatively.
She nodded. "Worthy profession. I hope you can patch me up when they wheel me in covered in hideous burns."
Well, maybe not her best behavior.
Scorpius glanced at Rose. "It really does run in your family, doesn't it?" She shrugged.
Louis rapped on the table to get Scorpius's attention. "So, Scorpius, how long have you liked Rosie for?"
Rose couldn't quite manage to stop herself from giggling at Scorpius's expression. Now that the Quidditch banter was over, he was the one starting to look trapped.
"I've changed my mind," Scorpius said abruptly. "I don't like Louis. Andrew and Evy are clearly delusional."
Louis snorted. "Is the question really that hard to answer?"
"With all of you breathing down my neck? Let me think about it." He paused. "Yes. Next question?"
Three uncomfortable questions later - Rose's cousins were clearly getting into the spirit of it - Scorpius said pointedly, "You know, I'd really appreciate it if you all made an effort to remember that there are eight of you and one of me. I didn't have to sit down and get interrogated. I'm doing it because your cousin adores all of you and I really like your cousin."
Albus wasn't doing a very good job of hiding his smile.
Fred was the first to react to Scorpius's speech. "Oh, I guess you're okay. I still don't really like you, but don't take it personally."
"Thanks. I'll try not to take that personally."
The corner of Fred's mouth twitched. "I've got to get back to the shop - I'll see you all later. And V, Teddy, congratulations again."
"We just got engaged," Victoire said in response to the confusion on Scorpius' face.
"Oh," he said. "Congratulations."
Teddy stretched. "I'm tired of sitting around. Lou, do you want to go find Hugo and wander up to the shrieking shack? Scorpius, ignore Fred, you're fine in my book. Portree fans are very rarely bad people, and you're clearly a real fan."
"As opposed to what, Teddy?" asked Victoire. She looked as though she was trying to hide a laugh.
"As opposed to a fake fan. You know, the kind of person who just becomes a fan when the team starts winning and can't actually name most of the players."
Dominique smirked. "I'm a real fan. I can name every Arsenal player who's been registered with the team since 1998."
"Well, bully for you," Teddy, Louis, and Lucy said at the same time. They rolled their eyes at each other.
"At any rate," Teddy said, reaching out a hand, "it was nice to see you again."
Scorpius shook his hand. "You, too."
Teddy looked at the rest of them and said, "It was good to see you all. Don't feel too compelled to behave yourselves. That's never fun." After he and Louis had departed, Dominique looked at Rose. "Rosie, can I have a word?"
"Sure," Rose said, getting up. She followed Dominique to a corner.
Dominique sighed and tucked her short blonde hair behind her ears. "Rosie, he really does seem perfectly nice. Just don't get too caught up in the relationship. It's clear that he likes you a lot, and that's terrific and all, but there are so many more important things than boys. Don't give up anything just because of him. He really shouldn't enter into any of your decisions about your future. If he can't adjust, he can find someone else."
Rose had known that this was exactly what Dominique was going to say. At least she was consistent.
Rose leaned against the wall. "So what did you and Charlotte talk about?"
She was pleased to see a faint tinge of pink in Dominique's cheeks. "Nothing," she said levelly.
"Oh, so you weren't talking, then?" Rose teased.
Dominique smiled. "We also walked." After a moment, she relented. "We were mostly talking. Honestly, I'm not going to get too fussed about it. I need somebody a bit more adventurous." She jerked her head toward the table. "We should get back."
Not long after that, Dominique and Victoire regretfully got up, saying that they had to get going. After bidding them goodbye, Rose, the rest of her cousins, and Scorpius joined the students who were starting to head back up to the castle. After a few minutes, she realised that the rest of them had melted away, leaving her alone with Scorpius.
"It's probably my turn to apologise, huh?" she asked.
Scorpius looked at her sharply. "Why would you have to?"
"My cousins…" Rose trailed off, not sure how to finish the sentence.
He laughed. "Oh, that wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it might be."
"How bad did you think it was going to be?"
"Worse than that," he said vaguely. "Look, don't worry about it. Most of them were perfectly nice." She gave him a skeptical look. "No, I'm serious. Don't worry about it. When you meet my cousin Johanna, we'll be even. She's… well, she's something. Though, if I'd known I was going to get interrogated, I might not have bothered to get you a birthday present."
"You got me a birthday present?"
He grinned. "It is next week, right?"
She tightened her grip on his hand and leaned over to kiss his cheek. A few passing third years let out loud giggles, and she shot a glare at them.
"You haven't thought the better of going out with me, then?" he asked. She shook her head, and he pulled her off the path and into the covering of trees. Her heart began to beat faster as he let go of her hand, and he sank his fingers into her hair as he gave her a deep kiss. "Good."
A/N: So this used to be the end.
It is not the end any longer. I'm not going to add an enormous amount to it, but I am going to add another chapter about their fathers prying into their business a little more (because come on, we all love that - and yes, Draco is going to be a characteristic twit in his a new, especially annoying way - and also probably a mention of how they're going to meet each other's families for the first time, though I likely won't actually depict it.
After that, I'm going to move onto editing the sequel to this: "The Wrinkles of the Road," which focuses on them in the year after they leave Hogwarts. It'll be my Camp Nano project, so I'm hoping to get a lot done on it. It's going to remain about Rose and Scorpius, of course, but I'm thinking I'll include more of Scorpius's pov than just when Rose gets knocked unconscious (aha, are you interested yet?), and potentially make Albus and James pov characters as well. If you have any serious thoughts about where you want me to go with that, I'm pretty malleable with it at the moment, so now is the time to share them. ;) I can't promise I'll do what you ask, of course, but I'll certainly take it under advisement.
Oh my god, guys. It might not seem it, but this was a ridiculous amount of editing. Two or three weeks of super concentrated work... but I'm really, really glad I did it, because now my muse is back. (Though my graphics muse is still around - I'm abhorsen. and was visenya. on TDA, so you may have seen my graphics floating around here sometimes. That's what I've been doing rather than write. :P But I'm ready to balance them now!
This has been a super long A/N, and this isn't even the last chapter. Sorry!
Anyway. Reviews are loved, you guys are great, I hope you've enjoyed the edits.

NY State Releases Final Report on Environmental Impact of New Tappan Zee Bridge
New York has just released the final environmental impact statement for its new Tappan Zee Bridge.
The state says over the last six months, it has received over 3,000 public comments about the project, and the EIS document groups them into four categories: concern about construction impacts (noise/dust/air quality/traffic),the design aesthetics of the new bridge, the construction impact upon the Hudson River environment, and transit capability of the new bridge.
Here are some ways the state says it will deal with the concerns:
- Construction noise and air quality will be monitored 24/7, and the results will be publicly available online
- A "Blue Ribbon Selection Committee" will participate in the design selection -- meaning some members of the public will have input into what the new bridge will look like
- Dredging will be limited, the discharge of sediment into the river will be minimized, and the state will use "bubble curtains and other technologies to minimize acoustic effects of piles driving on the fish."
- The bridge will be designed "so that it could accommodate transit in the future."
The report does not include a widely touted plan to turn the old bridge into a greenway. The State Thruway Authority says it will demolish the existing structure.
More later. In the meantime, you can read both the summary and the entire report here. And please comment below to let us know what you think of the report.

Mortgage rates held steady last week, according to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac.
The 30-year fixed-rate average dropped to 4.51 percent with an average 0.7 point. It was its first decline in three weeks. The 30-year fixed rate was 4.53 percent a week ago and 3.4 percent a year ago.
The 15-year fixed-rate average bumped up slightly, going to 3.56 percent with an average 0.6 point. It was 3.55 percent a week ago and 2.66 percent a year ago. Before rising above 3.5 percent three weeks ago, the 15-year fixed rate had remained below that mark since late September.
Hybrid adjustable rate mortgages showed little change. The five-year ARM average ticked up to 3.15 percent with an average 0.4 point. It was 3.05 percent a week ago and 2.67 percent a year ago.
The one-year ARM has remained at 2.56 percent with an average 0.5 point for the past three weeks.
"Mortgage rates were little changed amid a week of light economic reports," Frank E. Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, said in a statement.
"Of the few releases, the private sector added an estimated 238,000 jobs in December, which exceeded the market consensus and followed an upward revision of 14,000 jobs in November, according to the ADP Research Institute. Also, the Institute for Supply Management reported a greater slowing in growth in the non-manufacturing industry in December than the market consensus forecast."
Meanwhile, mortgage applications increased last week, according to the latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The Market Composite Index, a measure of total loan application volume, rose 2.6 percent. The Refinance index climbed 5 percent, while the Purchase Index edged up 1 percent.
The refinance share of mortgage activity accounted for 63 percent of all applications.

Submitted to: Virology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/1/1998
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a virus that causes Marek's disease, a serious economically important disease in chickens. The virus grows in cell culture in a cell-associated form by direct cell-to-cell contact. No cell-free infectious virus particles are produced in cell culture. In contrast, cell-free infectious virus is produced in skin cells associated with the feathers of chickens. The resulting virus is shed from the skin, infecting nearby birds and quickly spreading throughout a flock. It was not known why cell-free virus is only produced in cells associated with the chicken's feathers. Using reagents developed in another laboratory, we found a protein, produced by MDV, that is not made in cell culture but is made in the same infected cells in the chicken that produce the cell-free viruses. This protein is similar to a known protein produced by a herpesvirus that infects humans. The human herpesvirus protein is also known to be required for the generation of cell-free infectious virus. Thus, our findings suggest that certain unknown factors in chicken skin cells induce the MDV protein to be produced and that this protein is used to complete the process of making cell-free viruses. Our finding is the first report that may explain why the virus spreads so efficiently in chickens. Ultimately, this information may help us control the spread of MDV in infected flocks.
Technical Abstract: Glycoprotein D (gD) and its homologues are essential for many alphaherpesvirus life cycles. A gene encoding a homologue of gD was recently found in the Marek's disease virus (MDV) genome. Interestingly, gD negative MDV mutants apparently replicate unimpaired in both cell culture and in chickens. In this study, we show the expression of the gD homologue of MDV in feather follicle epithelium in infected birds. The gD homologue was detected in a few feather follicles even when most of the follicles were expressing either pp38 or gB, other MDV specific proteins. These observations indicate that the MDV gD homologue is expressed in a very limited set of cells and may be differently regulated. Since feather follicle epithelium of infected birds are the only place where the infectious cell-free MDV virions can be recovered, analysis of the transcriptional regulation of gD may lead to the understanding of the cell- -associated nature of MDV.

"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"
"I loved my daughter's invitations! Excellent quality and overall service as well as quick shipping to Greece. Thank you so much for making this birthday memorable!"
"My first impression of the invitation was the nice paper quality. It's thick and the flat finish absorbed the colors beautifully-- so they are true to what you see online. I tend to be drawn to simpler designs and this one was a perfect fit of cute without looking messy. I also like the way my picture cropped into the space provided."
"I chose tiny prints to purchase birthday invitations for my son's first birthday. I was amazed as I was browsing through the products. Even more amazed when my purchase arrived at my door! Great quality in every possible way! Very impressed!"
"This card was amazing! I ordered it for my niece's first birthday invitation and it arrived two days before it was supposed to which was perfect! The card was a bit small, but it worked out well. They are cute and the picture is just right. VERY nice job on the printing. The design was very cute. Just perfect for a baby girl--simple and cute. I cannot wait to pass them out!"
