Edward never came back. A year later, Bella is the singer in the band Werewolf. Every song has the same dedication. "To the vampire who broke my heart and left me for dead." What happens when Edward comes across a CD?

Rating 5/5 Word Count 2322 Review this Chapter
Going Under
I took slow, deep breaths, trying to calm myself down. I missed the numbness. The numbness made everything easy. Always. But now, I had to face reality.
He was gone.
He didn't love me.
And he was never coming back.
For four months, Jacob has been my rock, my personal sun. He was the most important person to me now, the only person who could hold me together, even if he would never mean more to me than he did. Jacob knew all of my dark secrets. Just as I knew his.
Of course, to Jacob, we were more than just close, we were together. And, honestly, to anyone on the outside, it probably looked like it. We always held hands, kissed (on the cheek –of course). And, as of three months ago, we spent most of our time either in his room or his garage, all because of my newly discovered skill. I had discovered a new way to let my emotions about him out, no danger or voices involved – In fact, I haven't heard the voices since the motorcycles.
I could write songs. And I could sing. Well.
So of course, Jacob was quick to inform me that he knew how to play the guitar – pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. Another convenient fact – Embry and Quil can play, too. So, the four of us got together, I on vocals, Jake on guitar, Embry on drums, and Quil on bass. Together, we are Werewolf.
Yes, such an uncreative name…
Tonight was our first big gig. If we did well tonight, we could get picked up by a talent scout, and actually become more than a small-town garage band. We could be somebody.
We were taking the first song that I wrote, a month after he left. Its name, you ask? Going Under.
Right, so back to deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out. I will not hyperventilate, I told myself sternly. I will not hyperventilate.
I worked on relaxing my body, one part at a time. Slowly, the tension dissipated until only a peaceful calm was left behind. Of course, it wouldn't last long. Tonight, in my dreams, I would be punished. Anything involving him led to nightmares. And singing songs inspired by his actionsdefinitely counted.
I opened my eyes slowly, taking in my reflection. My hair was dyed, a very deep brown, almost black. My dress was knee-length and blood red, a corset at the top, leading to flowing material that folded just at my knees. The entire dress was bordered by a black trim, gothic, about two inches thick. I had on black leather knee-high heeled boots to complete the outfit. The only make-up I had on was mascara. (Emily insisted on something – "You can't just leave your face empty after all that dressing up, now can you, Bella?")
All in all, I looked completely different from the Bella Swan of Forks High School.
There was a knock at the door, then, and it opened, revealing Jacob. He wore his long, black hair down, and sported midnight blue jeans with ripped knees and a black T-shirt. His face lit up when he saw me, and he was next to me in four strides.
"Hey," he greeted me, taking in my new look.
"You're definitely ready in terms of your attire," he laughed. "You look like a Goth."
"Hey, you're the one who decided on Dark attire," I reminded him.
He rolled his eyes. "Did you honestly expect us to dress in anything else when we're playing such depressing songs, Bells?"
The door opened again, then, followed by booming laughter. Embry.
"Just a tip, Jacob," Embry advised, walking over to Jacob and I. Quil walked into the room as well, but seemed distracted. "Never insult a song in front of the songwriter."
"I wasn't insulting her songs," Jacob defended himself. "I like them. I was just pointing out the theme among them. Would I be here if I didn't like the songs?"
"Yes," Embry and I answered immediately. We all knew that Jacob would be here, whether or not he was in the band or even liked the songs. We were here, and so, he would be, too. We all laughed.
"Quil, you're being quiet," Embry pointed out. "What's bugging you?"
Probably Claire . . .
Quil looked up, smiling guiltily. "I'm just thinking," he said. Then, with a sly smile, he added. "But I'm sure you guys wouldn't understand things like that." That earned him a punch on the arm from each of the boys, followed by more laughter.
I smiled. I may not be whole, but this was as close as I was going to get. During the day, I was, for the most part, normal Bella Swan. But come nightfall, when I went to bed…
I shivered.
The nightmares were horrible. They didn't have any ghosts or anything scary like that, though. There was nothing. Just… nothing. I would walk around in the forest in Forks, searching… I didn't know what I was looking for; I couldn't remember. I became more frantic in my searching. Then, it would hit me. There was nothing for me to find. Because my reason for existence was gone…
That was usually when the screaming started.
Jacob frowned, taking in my unexplained frown. I tried to smile convincingly at him. Now was not the time to think about the nightmares. We had a gig to do…
The door opened a third time, revealing Cooper, our stage manager. He wore his backstage and VIP passes, both laminated, with a silver chain holding them around his neck. He didn't walk in, just poked his head in, seeming glad to find us all in one place.
"You guys are on in ten," he told us. We all nodded to show we understood. Cooper disappeared.
"Well, then," Embry said, as nervous as the rest of us were.
"Let's do this," Quil finished. We all muttered sounds of agreement, before shuffling out the door. Now that it was time for us to actually perform, we were all nervous. I wondered absently if, if we actually became something, if he would ever come across our music.
The hole in my chest rippled, taking my breath away.
Be good, I reminded myself. Now is not the time for that… Never is the time for that. Even if he came across it… he wouldn't care…
"Ready, Bells?" Jake asked me, pulling his guitar strap over himself and positioning the guitar. He smiled encouragingly at me, and I half-smiled back.
"Ready," I confirmed.
"Alright!" Embry's nervousness had quickly faded; the high of playing always came to him first.
"And now," I hear distantly, a male voice, speaking into a microphone. "For our listening pleasure, I am proud to introduce to you, Werewolf!"
"Here we go," Quil muttered, his fingers tensing and loosening over his bass.
The curtain pulled apart, making all of us go blind. The lights were so bright, so strong; I could barely make out the audience. I saw a pair of shadows that resembled Sam and Emily; one gave me a thumbs-up.
I took a deep breath, before stepping up to the microphone. I took it with both hands, very aware of how slick my hands felt against the smooth metal. Please, please, I begged. Don't let me drop the microphone… It would be just my luck if I dropped it, especially now when there was an talent scout ready to pick us up if we did well.
Breathe, I reminded myself sternly.
I spoke into the microphone, praying that my voice didn't sound as weak as I felt. "This song is something I wrote almost a year ago. It's dedicated," I hesitated. Hell, why not? I thought. We're already Gothic looking; they won't think anything of it… "It's dedicated to the vampire who broke my heart and left me for dead," I said, my voice stronger.
You do not rule my life, I thought, ridiculously, as if he could hear. But, I felt strength with the words, and vowed never to let a vampire have that much control over me again.
I signaled Embry, who started the beat. I took a deep breath, before joining in. My noted weaved into the music, powerful and in control. Within seconds, Jake and Embry had started into it, and then we were playing. The words were coming up soon…
This is it, I thought. I took a slow, deep breath, before bringing the microphone closer to me and started singing . . .
Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifteen thousand tears I've cried
Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you
But you still won't hear me
(Going under)
Don't waste your efforts
I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Tormented daily, defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm going under
Calling you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I am going under
Blurring and stirring the truths and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm going under
Calling you
I'm falling forever
You've got to break through
So go one and scream
Scream at me
I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe
I can't keep -
Going under
Calling you
I'm falling forever
You've got to break through
I am going under
Going under
I'm going under!
The song ended, then, and I couldn't stop the grin from spreading across my face. We did it. Everything went perfectly. I murmured thanks into the microphone before turning to face the others, whose expressions all matched mine.
'That was awesome,' I mouthed at Jake.
'Totally,' he mouthed back.
We all hurried backstage, anxious to hear what the talent scout thought of us. As soon as we were off the stage, Embry hooted, shooting his fist into the air. We all laughed.
It felt amazing, letting out my emotions like this. Better than the motorcycles. And a hell of a lot less stupid. This could be it. My way to release my emotions. It all depended on what the scout said.
As if called, he walked around the corner, trailed by Cooper, who was smiling at us. Hopefully that meant good news. Upon reaching us, Cooper slapped my back, saying, "You did great, Bella! Simply amazing!"
I blushed. Typical.
"I agree," the scout said. "This group has amazing potential." He paused, and the second that filled up that pause felt like an eternity. I held my breath, waiting . . .
"I would love to bring you guys in, see how you do in a recording studio. Of course," he smiled, "you will most likely have to confer before you-"
"Yes!" We exclaimed at the same time. The scout's smile broadened.
"Excellent." He handed a card to Cooper, before turning around and walking out the back door. There were five seconds of stunned silence before we were able to say anything.
"Oh…my God," I managed to choke out.
"We did it," Quil said, still completely stunned.
"We did it," Jacob echoed.
"So," a sweet, female voice brought us back to reality. We turned – It was Emily, Sam's arm wrapped around her waist. They were both smiling. "How did it go?"
"He said yes," Embry told her. I watched as her face lit up as that sunk in, much faster than it was taking us.
"That's… that's amazing!" She and Sam walked over to us, and the next ten minutes were basically full of exclamations and "oh my God"s.
When it was finally time to go home, all of my excitement was gone. Home. Home meant sleeping and sleeping meant nightmares. And tonight would be awful. I just knew it. I had spent hours doing things caused by his actions, and if I though the nightmares from the motorcycles were bad…
I shuddered.
"You alright, Bella?" Jacob asked, sensing my distress. We were riding back in my truck, but he was driving. He turned to look over at me, and I stopped myself from scolding him. He was seventeen. He could do what he wanted.
"I'm fine, Jake," I lied. "Just cold."
He looked skeptical, but let it drop, rolling up his car window. I stared out the window, watching the familiar scenery pass by. Forks.
I tried leaving, once. Just after graduation, I packed up my things and was fully prepared to move to Phoenix. But, I just couldn't. Forks was my home, now, and forever.
Not forever, a small voice in the back of my head whispered. Nothing is forever for you anymore. He took that all away.
Shut up! I yelled back at the voice. Shut up, shut up. I'm going to be haunted by nightmares tonight; I don't need to think about him now…
"Hm?" Jake was looking at me, concern obvious on his face.
"We're here," he said.
"Oh. Right." I felt awkward. Jake and I both got out of the car, and he walked me to the door. The house was mine now, since Charlie had … passed away.
"Tonight was amazing," he told me, grinning again. "You did great."
"Yeah. You were awesome on your solo," I complimented him. I couldn'tnot smile around my personal sun.
"Alright, then. Goodnight." He leaned forwards to peck me on the cheek, and then released my hand and headed back to his Rabbit, which was waiting in my driveway.
"Night, Jake," I called. He revved the engine, and then drove away. Too fast. I sighed, before opening the door, and heading up to my room.
It had changed since I was in high school. Jake had helped me to paint the room black. I had replaced my bed sheets with black silk ones, and a dark comforter over those. I walked over to my closet, grabbing my bag of toiletries and pajamas (deep blue silk Victoria's Secret), before heading over to the bathroom. I took my time in getting ready for bed, brushing my hair until it was pin straight, showering until the water ran cold. But I couldn't stall forever. Eventually, I had to head back to my room.
I got under my covers, sighing. The nightmares were inevitable. I knew that. I had done things involving him. And now I was going to be punished. Badly.
"Come on, nightmares," I muttered to myself. "Bring it on."
I slowly sang into terrifying darkness as the nightmares began . . .

Dust storms affect subsequent emergency hospital admissions
A new study published in the journal Respirology reveals that dust storms have an adverse effect on emergency hospital admission for chronic lung disease, often known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Dust storms in East Asia and Southern China are caused by wind-blown dust that travels long distances from North China. The concentrations of coarse particlesthose with a diameter ranging from 2.5 to 10 micrometerscan reach very high levels.
Researchers led by Prof. TW Wong, MBBS, MSc, FFPH, of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, obtained data on daily emergency admissions to major hospitals for respiratory diseases in Hong Kong, and indices of air pollutants and meteorological variables from January 1998 to December 2002. They then identified five dust storms during the period and made comparisons using independent t-tests case-crossover analysis.
Results showed that significant increases in emergency hospital admission due to COPD were found 2 days after a dust storm episode, with a 5% increase in risk. There is a link between the raised concentrations of coarse particles encountered during dust storms and a higher risk of hospital illnesses for respiratory illness, in particular, for COPD.
"Our findings show a need for timely warning for patients with chronic lung diseases to avoid exposure to air pollution when a dust storm is imminent," Tam notes.
An accompanying review article by Professor Frank J. Kelly of King's College London and colleagues looks at how detriments such as dust storms on air quality can be used to create advanced warnings of potentially health-damaging effects, in the form of national air quality indices and proactive alert services.
"With future developments, the ultimate aim is to empower people to modify behavior in a way that protects their health as well as the quality of the air they breathe," Kelly concludes.

Milwaukee resident's Star Trek-painted garage gets Shatner's attention
A dedicated Star Trek fan decided to paint an homage to the late show on his garage, garnering even the attention of the captain himself.
This week, William Shatner posted on Twitter about the uniquely-painted garage on the city's southwest side.
The garage door of the home is painted in a tribute to last year's 50th anniversary of Star Trek. Shatner, of course, played the iconic role of Captain James T. Kirk on the series.
Twitter user Karen Pilarski sent a photo of the garage to Shatner, to which he replied,"Remember the Partridge family episode...?"
His message was an obscure reference to a February 1972 episode named "My Heart Belongs to a Two Car Garage" in which a painter creates the image of a nude woman on a garage door, much to the displeasure of neighbors.
There's a much different reaction to the art from those who live near the Milwaukee home.
"I love it. He changes it up," said Angelique Lipofski. "He's done Spider-Man and Star Trek and the Brewers. It's beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful."
The garage isn't Shatner's only connection to Milwaukee. Since 2007, he's been a television spokesman for the law firm of Hupy & Abraham. Incidentally, the law firm a few years ago expanded to the Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois, just about 60 miles to the east of Riverside, where Kirk will be born on March 22, 2233.

On July 11 Australians will be able to buy the fastest and most functional Apple iPhone to run on the Optus and Vodafone 3G networks.
New iPhone 2.0 software will run applications from Apple's iWork suite and Microsoft Office, while the phone can download and install third party applications via 3G High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networking that Apple claims will be twice as fast as the first generation iPhone.
The 3G iPhones will arrive with built-in GPS functionality for expanded location based mobile services, and will cost US$199 for an 8GB version or US$299 for a 16GB model in the US.
Details of Australian pricing and plans will be announced by carriers at a later date, but Optus is offering a refundable $50 holding deposit in the meantime.
The battery has been boosted to support an impressive 10 hours of talk-time, double the first generation, with a minimum five hours of continuous browsing time and 300 hours of standby.
Optus CEO Paul O'Sullivan said its 7 million customers will be able to use the iPhone on the 3G network across 98 percent of Australia by the end of the year.
"iPhone 3G is the handset Australians have been waiting for," O'Sullivan said.
But Nathan Burley, an analyst at global consulting firm Ovum, said the iPhone will be inoperable with Vodafone and Optus 3G networks.
"Although Vodafone and Optus are expanding their 3G networks in the 900MHz frequency band, the iPhone 3G will not support these networks," Burley said.
"Coverage will be limited to existing 2100MHz 3G coverage - outside these areas GPRS data performance will leave users more than unsatisfied.
"The device does support Telstra's Next G network but as yet, Telstra has not announced it will be offering the device."
The 3G iPhone will be available in black or white.

Christmas!12:16 AM Edit This 1 Comment »
This year was especially special for us because it was our first Christmas with our Mabel! It was also our first year with 2 kids and Santa had to make a few changes as to the amount of gifts he brought. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Still I think Lorelai made out pretty darn good. I love wrapping presents and setting them all up... definitely one of the better perks of parenthood.
Mae didn't do too shabby either, and although she didn't know one present from 100... the gifts that she got were things that she now, at 6 months old, LOVES!
I think Lo might be a cheerleader when she grows up because she absolutely loves dressing up like a cheerleader, Santa must have known because he got her a new uniform.
And the ONLY thing she asked for this year was Strawberry Shortcake... Santa got the memo.
So did Nana and Papa because they outdid Santa and got her all outfitted for some serious Strawberry Shortcake play.
Anyone who knows Lorelai, knows that she loves to dress up like animals, hair clippies like a rabbit are perfect!
Whose idea was it to give her a drum?? Horrible Santa idea.
After opening all the presents, we noticed one more that was plugged into the wall. We turned it on and WOW! Santa left a blow up house. Super fun!
There were no pics of Mae... probably because she slept right through. She was such a super sleeper at 2 months that there are hardly any pics of her at all... she was always asleep!

It turns out that the Google Nexus 4 does have 4G capabilities after all, as an LTE chip is discovered during a handset teardown.
The chaps over at iFixIt uncovered that the Nexus 4 sports a Qualcomm WTR1605L Seven-Band 4G LTE chip on its motherboard, as well as an Avago ACPM-7251 Quad-Band GSM/EDGE chip for all your 3G activity.
During our Google Nexus 4 review, one of few things which disappointed us was the fact the LG-made handset didn't support the latest generation of mobile network.
Not all good news
While you may be rejoicing at the fact your Nexus 4 does indeed have a 4G chip inside, it is missing a couple of key components.
There's no 4G antenna or power amplifier, which means the chip is lying dormant inside the handset, with no obvious way of enabling it.
We've contacted both LG and Google as to why the chip has been included in the handset and we will update this article once we hear back.

Western Ragweed
Western ragweed is a native perennial forb in the Asteraceae plant family. It is readily recognized by its grayish green leaves and dense foliage. Western ragweed is found throughout the prairies, and is an indicator of disturbance. Flowering occurs from July to October.
It is found across North America, excluding the Rocky Mountains.
Western ragweed is a very important plant for wildlife. Several species of wildlife use it for cover. It is also a very important food source for several prairie bird species. They consume its seeds which are very abundant. Cottontail rabbit, pronghorn and white-tailed deer consume the leaves and stems of western ragweed.
Cattle consume western ragweed in the early spring, when it is palatable. Although it is perceived to have negative impacts on cattle grazing and is often sprayed with herbicide; research from Oklahoma and Kansas has shown that it is not a serious competitor with native grasses.
Native Americans used the leaves for tea to relieve stomach cramps, diarrhea and sore eyes.
Western ragweed produces pollen that can cause severe hay-fever in many humans.

Since we opened our doors, we have always been committed to being as organic and pure as we can be. We know that it sometimes costs more money to make sure that the raw materials we use are sourced from organic and American sources. We spend extra on our raw materials to make sure that they have the certifications to prove their purity, and we even spend money to test our finished products to make sure that we maintain the level of purity that our customers expect of us. Because we go to these lengths to show that we are doing what we say, it has always miffed us a little bit to see new companies popping up with these great claims of organic purity, being "all-natural" or environmentally friendly, without any way to back up these claims.
We were happy to read today that the revised Green Guides have been released.
"In terms of furniture and bedding, I think there are still a lot of general claims being made by the industry and the updated green guides are very loud and clear (that) there should not be unsubstantiated claims made."
We feel especially proud since Walt, our president/CEO advised on the new green guides. The revisions are written to make sure that marketers are not making any deceptive or misleading claims about the purity of their products. To learn more, you can visit the FTC's website where you can read about the changes and download the full guide.

By the end of 2020, the incidence of gastric cancer (cancer of the stomach) is expected to rise about 13 percent — reaching 250,400 cases in seven countries — the United States, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. That's the forecast provided by Datamonitor, a business information and analysis company.
For the United States, the company predicts about 27,000 incident cases in 2010, accounting for 12 percent of all cases in the seven countries. That number is expected to rise to 18 percent by 2020.
Among patients with known tumor characteristics, 90.3 percent of stomach cancers were adenocarcinomas; gastrointestinal stromal tumors accounted for 3.4 percent. Approximately 62 percent of stomach cancers were diagnosed at the regional or distant stage, with women having greater percentages of localized stage cancer than men (24.8 percent and 21.7 percent, respectively). Approximately 50 percent of stomach cancers were poorly differentiated.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stomach cancer rates in 2004 were highest among men in the Northeast (11.7 percent) and lowest in the Midwest and South (9.0 percent). Rates among women were highest in the Northeast (5.6 percent) and lowest in the Midwest (3.9 percent). Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey, and New York had some of the highest rates of stomach cancer among men (10.2–18.4 percent) and women (5.1–6.7 percent).

This plugin is no longer maintained. Support is no longer provided and updates will not be issued. If you would like to take over the project, please contact me.
xMail is a Bukkit plugin used to send messages and items to players on other servers, or locally. With a few simple commands you can send a message to your friend to join you on your server, or you can call over an admin to help with a server emergency.
xMail doesn't stop there, of course. xMail also allows you to send and recieve mail ONLINE at xmail.turt2live.com, allowing you to always know what's going on. xMail also offers you the ability to mass-send mail, and send mail to the consoles of servers if needed.
xMail is incredibly light weight as everything is handled on the xMail servers, all you have to do is drag and drop and you're good to go.
Cool features xMail supports
- You can send mail to the console of any server, including the one you are on. To do so, send mail to 'CONSOLE@<server IP>'. If you want to send mail to the current server you are on, simply send mail to "console".
- You only need to login once to be logged in on any xMail server you visit.
- xMail supports the client mod SimpleNotice
- xMail allows sending of items and (soon) money.
- xMail can be used on a cloud server without ever needing to visit the xMail server. This means you can create your own xMail server and tell xMail to connect to it rather than the world-wide server
- xMail has an API for other plugins to use. Hello developers! If you want to hook into xMail, look at the downloads page
- MAILBOXES Yes, you can send "snail mail" to people with books. Just don't put your diamonds in the box...

Custom Servers
xMail allows you to run your own server rather than use the turt2live "main" server. If you would like to do this, make the choice of the xMail PHP server, or the xMail Java Server. If you have issues setting the servers up, please contact turt2live. Instructions, and downloads, are available on the xMail download page.
IRC Support
xMail does have an irc bot hanging out on EsperNet (#turt2live) for you to check and send basic mail. Want to run an xMail IRC bot on your own server? Check the xMail downloads page.
Need an IRC client/don't know how to connect? Use this simple client. (Provided by EsperNet)
Large Mail Blocker
Because xMail is cross-server, in versions 1.4.0+ there is a system in place to help with economy and player transfers. If configured, xMail will disallow (by default) any "large mail" messages. With the defaults, a "large mail message" is one with 257 items, $501, or 8+ diamond blocks. If any of the conditions specified are matched, the plugin can either deny, warn, or do nothing with the mail message.
By default xMail will only WARN and not deny. You will have to specify xMail to deny messages as needed. Check out the 'large-mail-rules.yml' file for more information.
Feedback and Suggestions
If you have anything you'd like me to know about, please let me know!
#56 _ForgeUser5726591 Posted Sep 11, 2013
Hey turt. I was just wondering when you plan to release the next update to include Issue #6
#54 _ForgeUser5726591 Posted Sep 3, 2013
I have a feature suggestion. Can you add the ability to remove all mail and single pieces of mail from your inbox? That would be really useful.
It would also be better than Essentials mail in that when you do /mail clear it removes all the mail. Because of the way you've made the plugin you do:
/xmail clear mailid
/xmail clearall
#53 _ForgeUser5726591 Posted Sep 3, 2013
#51 _ForgeUser5726591 Posted Aug 30, 2013
I really need the ability for my console to be able to send mail, is this possible at all using xMail?
Or could it be a feature that could be added? A local "system" user, console and or server.
#49 rustyshakelford2 Posted May 12, 2013
A way around the need for players to enter their password or register would be great. Can you have it allow players to use xmail based on their username if the server is in online mode?

Little Fires Everywhere
Recent Releases
The Salt Line: A Novel
Holly Goddard Jones
Dystopian fiction continues to bring readers a wealth of dark futures to contemplate, and this one is no different. Most of humanity lives in carefully protected, rigidly regulated enclaves, surrounded by scorched earth (known as salt lines) that separate them from deadly, disease-carrying ticks. But the wealthy are still thrill-seekers, and what's more thrilling than venturing beyond safety to the wilderness beyond the salt lines? Need a comparison? It's "

Little Fires Everywhere: A Novel
Celeste Ng
Ugliness seethes under a placid suburban surface in this multilayered novel, which features two families that grow too close for comfort. It begins when itinerant artist Mia and her teenage daughter Pearl rent a Shaker Heights, Ohio, house from the Richardsons, who have four kids around Pearl's age. Three of the four become Pearl's constant companions; the fourth becomes Mia's. But it's a custody suit elsewhere in the community that threatens everything -- and calls into being the "little fires everywhere." Told backwards through time through multiple narrators, this insightful book will appeal to fans of complex family dramas like Ann Patchett's
or Liane Moriarty's
Big Little Lies
Sing, Unburied, Sing: A Novel
Jesmyn Ward
This new novel from National Book Award-winning author Jesmyn Ward started getting attention long before it was published, and is already being considered for prizes of its own. A story of how the past affects the present, and of deeply entrenched racism, it is also the tale of a biracial boy and his addicted, grieving black mother and incarcerated white father. A road trip to Dad's prison kick-starts the novel, which offers deeply affecting characters, a strong sense of place (rural Mississippi), and a touch of magical realism in appearances by the dead.
If the Creek Don't Rise
Leah Weiss
In a remote North Carolina mountain town, 17-year-old Sadie feels trapped -- pregnant and married to an abusive adulterer, her options are limited. When a new schoolteacher arrives in town, things seem ripe for change not just for Sadie but for others in her community as well. With fascinating characters -- Sadie, schoolteacher Kate, the preacher, a local medicine woman, and others -- who share narrative duties, this bewitching debut vividly portrays impoverished Appalachia.
Something Like Happy
Eva Woods
Thirty-five-year-old Annie Hebden has lost her baby, her husband, and will soon lose her mother, too. Depressed and numb, she is the antithesis of her eccentric, bubbly new friend, Polly, who wakes each morning determined to wring as much happiness out of her day as she can. Polly has challenged Annie to try one way to be happy each day for 100 days -- which may be all that Polly, who has terminal brain cancer, has left. Alternately tragic and comic, this charming, heartwarming debut set in London is "inspiration in a bottle" (
), and was inspired by a social media hashtag.

Seconds: A Graphic Novel
Bryan Lee O'Malley
Not long after 29-year-old chef Kate makes a terrible error in the kitchen of her restaurant, she discovers the house sprite who lives there. It begrudgingly grants her the ability to retroactively fix her mistake -- but having gotten one makes Kate greedy for more "second chances," and soon her grasp on reality weakens as she changes more and more of her decisions. Written and illustrated by the author of the Scott Pilgrim series, this colorful, bold graphic novel is "hilarious" (

FREMONT — An early morning crash on Interstate 880 left a San Jose man with major injuries when he was struck on the shoulder of the roadway after exiting his wrecked vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.
About 2 a.m., the CHP responded to northbound Interstate 880 at Dixon Landing Road and found the man lying in the roadway, along with a wrecked 2010 Chevrolet HHR and a 2001 Acura crashed into a concrete median, CHP Officer Zachary Hunter said.
According to witnesses, the 46-year-old driver of the Acura had gotten out of the car and was standing in the center median when he was struck by Chevrolet HHR, which also hit the Acura that lay wrecked in the left lane, Hunter said. The man was taken to the hospital with major injuries.
The driver of the Chevrolet, a 22-year-old man from Union City, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, Hunter said. The driver of a 2003 Honda parked on the shoulder of the roadway was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries after a wheel flew off the Acura and hit his windshield and driver's side window.
According to CHP Officer Kevin Bartlett, the Acura and Chevrolet were both cleared from the scene about 5:30 a.m. and towed away for evidence, which likely means both vehicles will be checked for mechanical problems or any other issue which may have led to the crash.

No to Sundancer movie
The length to which authorities can go to make life miserable for political foes is, well breath-taking to say the least. This is so true for the former head of the republic of Kiribati Anote Tong who after completing his 10 year term in office last year has been replaced by a new administration which sees no reason why the former leader should be travelling with a diplomatic passport and stripped of all the protocols accorded to national leaders. Even at the premiere of a documentary on Tong's work on climate change at the international Sundancer film festival in January, the new administration through its newly appointed ambassador at the UN (who also happens to be a former president), wrote to the festival organisers to have the film removed from the silver screen.
Kiribati is overly camera 'shy'
Still on the northern Pacific atoll, the world didn't know of the detention in Kiribati of Canadian film maker Matthieu Rytz early this year and the way he sneaked out of the country. He's the producer of 'Anote's Ark,' a documentary on former president Anote Tong's fight to champion the plight of his people who are at the frontline of global warming and rising sea level. Rtyz was apparently filming with his crew at an outer island in Kiribati when authorities detained him. The outside world heard nothing of the detention because it took place right about the time the tragic ferry disaster took place in the atoll nation.

Climate Not Ready
From climate ready to climate not so ready is what has happened with the whisper that the American Government's US$24 million climate change related programme in the region being told to close shop not even one year after it opened. Marching orders came reportedly from none other than the Trump Administration, perpetuating his belief that climate change is a hoax. Headquartered in Suva, Climate Ready was being managed by a global engineering management conglomerate with funding from USAID to assist ten island countries achieve their climate adaptation goals, by helping draft policies and climate funding applications.
More judges please
A booming mining and construction sector is causing a sharp rise in finance related cases in Papua New Guinea. That's the word from the country's chief justice Sir Salamo Injia who wants to boost the number of judges on the bench from the current 44 to 80. That's a jump of about 80 per cent more judges. Sir Salamo if he has his way would also like to split the country's judiciary into national court, court of appeal and supreme court.

Rich and famous
IS Majuro in the northern Pacific the new playground for the world's rich and famous? This was the scene at the international airport of the capital of the Marshall Islands one morning in December captured by the island's veteran photojournalist Giff Johnson. Apart from the regular United Airlines plane that does the island hopping service from Hawaii to Guam, there was also a Japan Airlines aircraft, a 767 private plane as well as a Lear jet. If that was not enough, the early morning display also came with a private seaplane, a helicopter and of course, not to be outdone Air Marshalls' very own Dornier. The word in town was that the flurry of air machines in Majuro was to do with the presence of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

Melanesia blues
IS the big boss of the secretariat of the Melanesian Spearhead Group in trouble over his decision to be seconded again to his former employer in Fiji after taking up the Port Vila-based position? Rumours are rife both in Vila and neighbouring Honiara, where the current chair of the MSG sits, that Amena Yauvoli's work with the COP23 Secretariat in Fiji is tantamount to secondary employment, something that his contract as DG forbids. His boss, the PM of Solomon Islands, supposedly sent him a letter basically stating that he could not hold two jobs and that he needed to give up one.
Bad blood
Still on the MSG … It appears the host of the MSG secretariat is still fuming about the disqualification of its candidate for the top job, so much so that a senior Fijian national's application for a work permit submitted to Vanuatu immigration by the MSG has been knocked back without any explanation. Looks like the secretariat may have to issue fresh calls of interest for the manager legal position. Vanuatu had put up its long time envoy in Europe as candidate for DG MSG but his application was declared void as it was sent way past the deadline.

Several years ago the US Forest Service started their own mapping program to update the older US Geological Survey quad maps. The theory was that the USFS would update forest boundaries, roads, and other important information.
It appears that the USFS has used this new program in part to move forward their own agenda of road closures, and also to remove the historic American mining history in the West. This is being done without public approval or hearings. It is being carried out under federal regulations, and our so called public lands are being stolen away from us ever so silently and quickly.
If you were to pick up a USGS Poison Canyon Quad and a new US Forest Service Poison Canyon Quad you will find the following differences; road closures, roads have been removed, roads have been drawn in the wrong locations, and all the mine symbols have been removed from the map. One example of this is the removal of the North Notch Spring road. Another example is a number of the side roads off of county road 224 have a map symbol across them indicating that they are closed to public use.
In my opinion, the map is just one example of how the USFS is working to take away our access to public lands. Other examples are the new gate on the mountain road, the road closures on Milk Ranch Point, and the deliberate destruction and removal of historic mining and homestead history on forest lands
This behavior is not just subject to the USFS. In the last year, we have seen the Bureau of Land Management remove all the public campsites from Indian Creek with no regards to the public's needs or rights. This also was done with out any public approval or hearings.
This covert method of taking away public access and lands without public approval or hearings will continue unless we take a stand. We need to make our voices heard, and let the government agencies and special interest groups know we aren't going to allow this to happen. If we don't get involved now there won't be any reason to be involved later.

A scenic drive from Rarangi to Picton
The driving route from Rarangi to Picton via Port Underwood Road Marlborough
If you are looking for a little driving adventure which is not completely off road then why not try the drive from Rarangi to Picton on the Port Underwood Road. This drive is not for the faint hearted much is gravel and winding but well worth the adventure of experiencing landscapes of wild rocky beaches, sheltered sandy bays and epic views.
This scenic drive will take you from Rarangi beach – a ruggered, pine tree lined beach that rises up to the flanks of Mount Robertson. While here you could jump out of the car and take the walk to Monkey Bay – this short walk leads from the northern end of Rarangi Beach around a rocky point and into Monkey Bay, with its small beach.
Next stop is Whites Bay – a popular location and one of Marlborough's most beautiful sheltered sandy beaches. The drive carries on few numerous bays including Robinhood Bay, Ocean Bay and Oyster Bay.
Take time to stop at the top of the saddle and enjoy the views and on a clear day you will see Oyster Bay in the foreground with the boats at anchor, Cloudy Bay , Cape Campbell and further south to the Kaikoura Peninsula.
Visible will be the snow capped Mt Tapuaenuka (2885m). From Hakahaka Bay the drive takes you to Karaka Point - Sunshine Bay into the small settlement of Waikawa Bay which has the second largest marina in New Zealand.
You can then make your way to the vibrant seaport town of Picton which sits at the head of the Queen Charlotte Sound. Enjoy dining at one of the many cafes or restaurants or just relax on the foreshore before continuing your journey.
I took this journey over the New Year holiday break and thoroughly enjoyed the experience after not having done the route since I was around 8 years old.

Our mission is to teach school board members and superintendents how to transform their districts for high student achievement - because every community deserves a great school district.

Burlington man's convictions in Webster Plantation slayings upheld by Maine high court
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Maine's highest court has upheld the conviction of a Burlington man found guilty of killing a husband and wife in rural eastern Maine in 2009.
The Supreme Judicial Court on Thursday ruled that the taped confession of Nathaneal Nightingale and some physical evidence were appropriately allowed at his trial.
The Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/Tq9IGo ) reports that Nightingale's attorney argued in the appeal that his client's confession was inadmissible. But the court said he voluntarily submitted to questioning and was twice read his Miranda rights.
Nightingale was convicted in March 2011 of manslaughter in the death of Michael Miller Sr. and murder in the death of Miller's wife, Valerie. Both were 47.
Prosecutors say the Millers were slain in their Webster Plantation pawn shop in a botched robbery attempt.

Google Health Users Have The Ability To Share Their Online Medical Records
In keeping with its mission to organize the world's information, make it universally accessible, and confound μυστικότητα advocates,Google on Wednesday gave Google Υγεία users the ability to share their online medical records.
ο new Google Health sharing feature allows users who have stored health information with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) to make that information accessible through a Web σύνδεσμος sent via e-mail. Google suggests users may want to make their health records available to friends, family, or doctors and other medical service providers.
Vexing privacy advocates isn't actually part of Google's mission statement, though it's been a byproduct of the company's efforts to organize information and make it accessible.
Lillie Coney, associate director with the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C., warns that health information is very sensitive and that there could be unanticipated consequences to sharing health information outside of the health provider environment.
"People need to be very clear that once the information is shared, there may be other συνέπειες," she said. "Undoing the sharing may be more προβληματικός than most people would think."
She suggests that by going ahead and making a controversial feature like this available, Google aims to normalize practices that now give people pause. "Google's model is for access for information to be the norm," είπε.
The sensitivity of health information isn't lost on Google. In the ανάρτηση announcing the new feature, Google product management director Sameer Samat points out that health information sharing links only work in conjunction with the e-mail account to which they're sent and not if the message with the link has been forwarded.
Samat also notes that sharing can be stopped at any time, that sharing links expire after 30 days, that those viewing shared health information have read-only access, and that the sender has access to an activity report that indicates who viewed the shared profile.
Google makes similar points on its Web site, offering repeated assurances that users' health information is safe online and that the company takes health privacy concerns seriously.
The updated Google Health also includes a less controversial feature that's at least as useful: The ability to graph medical test information. This allows Google Health users, for example, to visualize cholesterol test results over time.
