There is probably no better way to introduce a prospective analytical chemist to the universe of chromatography than downloading the available chapters on the chemweb site (
William Horwitz, AOAC International, July/Aug 2003
Overall this is a useful and valuable book that should be read by specialists and students in chromatography. It brings together many of the important historical events and papers.
Dr Robert Stevenson, American Laboratory (34), Nov 2002
In all, the book is a carefully crafted volume that melds people, history, science, and the future. It is an ideal source book for those wishing to integrate the history and chemistry of the last 100 years of separation science, and it places steep escarpments and placteaus in proper prospective.

3" Scalloped Paring Knife – Basics® Series is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sparks2765 from Best paring knife ever! I used to work in Boater's World Mare Distribution Warehouse in Denton, Maryland. We retailed Dexter Russell knives in our stores and I was a Receiver. I bought the paring knives over ten years ago and found them to be the best. I extremely like the scalloped cutting edge and use to knives for everything. The don't ever seem to get dull. The only problem is that my family members love them so much that my stock of 6 knives went down to one in only a day during out New Year's Party. I didn't notice for a while because I always wash the one I had and kept it in the dish rack to keep it handy. I realized they were missing a few months ago and started looking for sites on-line to get them. I found you had them cheaper then most places. You were less than I originally paid at work, even with my 20% employee discount. I'm extremely greatful to have them back. I only keep 2 out for use now though. If my relatives what them so badly, they are going to have to come to your website like I did. I have already giving your site to my sister-in-law, my younger sister's friend, and one of my cousins.Since they asked about were I got my paring knives from, I'm taking that as evidence as to them maybe being in pocession of my original set. I highly recommend Dexter-Russell knives and your website. There were far to many knives on your site from them that I wanted. I will be back to get the others I saw, but I don't know when. I live on disabiliy now and it not every month the I can spend on extra items. Those paring knives though, were a necessity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JR and friend from Excellent products the dexter russell knives are the best kitchen knives we have ever used, so we ordered more and no better price than FSW.
Date published: 2015-08-20
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Well made knife. Large textured handle helps gripping. Great for the little jobs. Blade is sturdy and won't bend under pressure. Serrated edge cuts cheeses and tomatoes with ease. Blade stays shiny after being put in dishwasher. Great variety of knives available to complete a matching set.
Date published: 2013-02-18
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great paring knife. All Dexter Russell knives are very functional. These knives are easy to sharpen and hold an edge well. I have used high-end knives before, but these out perform them. I first started using Dexter Russel knives when I got into the restaurant business 20 years ago.

The Stupak Democrats' 40 Pieces of Silver?
A group that tracks earmarks is reporting that 11 Bart Stupak Democrats have requested more than $3.4 billion in earmarks for 2011. Stupak himself requested more than $578 million in earmarks. Of the eight members whose 2010 earmarks requests were available for comparison, five requested more than they did a year ago: Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Ill.) Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper (D-Pa.) Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) Brad Ellsworth (D-Ind.) and Rep. Charles Wilson (D-Ohio).
Personally, I doubt any of these lawmakers flipped because of the earmarks -- though given the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana Purchase, you can never rule it out -- but their loyalty to their party's leadership rather than their pro-life views may yet be rewarded.

Lastly, while on the topic of fiber, for those of you who are regular readers, I did look into the modified citrus pectin that I wrote about earlier this month. So far I have not found any reasonable pricing on raw material. Too bad, as modified citrus pectin shows much promise as a natural anti-cancer agent.
So, acacia fiber may end up in our product line much earlier than modified citrus pectin!

Capitalism 3.0: A Guide to Reclaiming the Commonsby Peter Barnes
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The commons, all the creations of nature and society we inherit together and hold in trust for future generations, are under siege. Our current version of capitalism — the corporate, globalized version 2.0 — is rapidly squandering this shared heritage. It is driving us headlong into social, economic, and environmental collapse. From Social Security privatization to deregulation of the airwaves and global warming, the threats to the commons often seem insurmountable. Peter Barnes has an answer: it's time to "upgrade" capitalism by reclaiming the commons.
Barnes shows that the market, like a computer, is run by an operating system, one that inherently gives the "right of way" to profit-maximizing corporations who redistribute their profits to only a sliver of the population. And governments — theoretically set up to preserve the commons and police the corporations — are inadequately designed, often facilitating the depletion of the commons.
Barnes proposes an alternative to our current self-destructive path: Capitalism 3.0, an update that includes innovative features to protect the commons while preserving the basic processes that have made capitalism such an effective economic operating system. Capitalism 3.0's major breakthrough is the addition of an asset-preserving trust, a market-based legal entity, neither privately owned nor government run, which would set limits on our depletion of the commons and pay dividends to all of us, the collective owners of the commons.
Just as residents of Alaska currently receive dividends from state oil wealth, a trust model for the commons institutionalizes the contract between generations and between humans and nature. Through the responsible employment of markets and property rights, this new version of capitalism would preserve the principal for the future while paying dividends to today's trustees.
Capitalism 3.0 offers viable solutions to some of our most pressing economic, environmental, and social concerns. It is a remarkable look at the future of our economy, a future in which we can retain capitalism's virtues while mitigating its vices.
"This is a dangerous book — it could revolutionize capitalism. It's also a conservative book — it could save capitalism from its own tragic flaws. Every thoughtful citizen should read it." Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet for a Small Planet and Democracy's Edge
"Peter Barnes, a co-founder of Working Assets, has another important idea: Capitalism 3.0. This version of capitalism can save the planet, redress many inequities of wealth, and reclaim the commons — our air, our water, our airwaves, and more. Here is capitalism as you've never seen it before. Take a look!" George Lakoff, author of Don't Think of an Elephant and Whose Freedom?
"Reading Capitalism 3.0 is like putting on a new pair of glasses. It is clearly written, provocative, and fresh. And it offers a sharp new tool for solving the problem of capitalism's threat to the commons." Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma
"Using his years of experience as a successful entrepreneur, Barnes shows how capitalism can be upgraded so that it protects rather than devours our planet. Required reading for everyone who looks further than the next quarter's results." Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council
"Barnes' concept of commons trusts is nothing short of brilliant. If applied on a large scale, it would fundamentally change capitalism. This idea has legs." Marjorie Kelly, author of The Divine Right of Capital
"Barnes shows us how to build a new economic sector that is held in trust for future generations. Ecosystems and their services would be managed for long-term benefit rather than short-term profit, and all Americans would get cash dividends." Ben Cohen, Co-Founder, Ben & Jerry's
"Barnes has opened the dialogue of the 21st century. He takes the traditional concept of the commons and marries it to the institutions of modern capitalism. In so doing he exposes those who take from the commons without paying, then make the rest of us buy back what we already own." Carl Pope, Executive Director, Sierra Club
Book News Annotation:
Likening the economic system to a computer operating system, Barnes (cofounder and former president of Working Assets Long Distance) suggests that Capitalism 2.0 has become obsolete because it damages the environment and widens inequality. He calls for an upgrade to Capitalism 3.0, the most salient feature of which is the institutionalization of a "commons sector" that preserves and enhances common wealth. Among the proposals proffered are a series of ecosystems trusts, a share per citizen mutual fund that pays dividends to all Americans, a trust fund providing start-up capital to every child, a risk-sharing pool for health care that covers everyone, a national fund based on copyright fees that supports local arts, and a limit on the amount of advertising. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
From the cofounder of Working Assets comes a visionary plan to upgrade capitalism.
About the Author
Peter Barnes is cofounder and former president of Working Assets Long Distance. In 1995 he was named Socially Responsible Entrepreneur of the Year for Northern California. He is the author of Who Owns the Sky? and Pawns: The Plight of the Citizen-Soldier, and has written for Newsweek, The New Republic, The New York Times, and many other publications.

Heyman With Gresh & Zo: Sox Looking At Mets First Baseman Ike Davis?
October 2, 2012 12:39 PM
98.5 The Sports Audio Read More
MLB insider Jon Heyman joined Gresh, Zo and Dan Shaughnessy to talk about possible candidates if the Red Sox let Bobby Valentine go, most believe this is a foregone conclusion.
John Farrell from Toronto and Tim Wallach are two candidates that are very possible according to Heyman.
They also discussed some of the holes that need filling. Heyman said that he saw Red Sox scouts taking a look at the Mets and possibly looking at first baseman Ike Davis.
The guys also discussed the MVP race, Mike Trout looks to be the favorite, but is it fair since Miguel Cabrera is so close to winning the first triple crown since 1967?

I've been tuning in and out of this thread but people believe the director cut her out of spite?

Democrats are poised to take control of the Minnesota Senate after defeating Republican incumbents in key races around the state. DFL candidates needed to flip only a net of 4 seats to recapture the majority, giving them control of the chamber for the next four years. The Senate was their power base in state government for nearly 40 years until 2010. That's when the GOP captured the Senate for the first time in nearly four decades. But Senate Republicans struggled after taking power, with a sex scandal reshuffling top leadership and a related lawsuit running up big legal bills.

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Bryan, and I will be your conference operator today. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to DIRECTV's Third Quarter 2012 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] It is now my pleasure to turn the call over to your host, Jon Rubin, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Financial Planning. Sir, you may go ahead.
Jonathan M. Rubin
Thank you, operator, and thank you, everyone, for joining us for our third quarter 2012 financial results and outlook conference call. And with me today on the call are Mike White, our President and CEO; Pat Doyle, CFO; Bruce Churchill, President of DIRECTV Latin America; and Larry Hunter, General Counsel.
In a moment, I'll hand the call over to Mike, Bruce and Pat for some introductory remarks, but first I'll read to you the following. On this call, we'll make statements that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the relevant forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are described in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in each of DIRECTV's annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.
Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make related to our business strategy and regarding our outlook for our financial results, liquidity and capital resources. Additionally, in accordance with SEC's Regulation G, that requires companies reporting non-GAAP financial measures to reconcile these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, we provide reconciliation schedules for the non-GAAP measures, which are attached to our earnings release and posted on our website at directv.com.
So with that, I'm pleased to introduce Mike.
Michael D. White
Thanks, Jon. Thanks, everyone, for joining us today. The strength of DIRECTV and SKY's premium brands, combined with early success from executing our long-term strategic initiatives that we established earlier this year, maintained first quartile growth, delivering healthy third quarter results. I think there are probably 3 main takeaways from my perspective for our quarter as you look at it.
First, we're generating solid top line growth, driven by strong consumer demand for our best-in-class video service across the Americas. Our industry-leading revenue growth of 8% continues to demonstrate our competitive advantages in the rapidly growing Latin America marketplace, as well as our ability to grow ARPU in a challenging U.S. operating environment.
Second, we continued to enhance our focus on achieving operational excellence through disciplined expense management and productivity initiatives. The benefits from these initiatives were clearly represented in the financial results of DIRECTV U.S., with our margins improving due in part through effective cost containment all up and down the P&L. We're also making good progress addressing some of the cost challenges in Latin America that we talked about on our last earnings call.
And third, the strength and stability of our cash flow continues to create significant value for shareholders. Share repurchases of $1.2 billion in the quarter fueled a 29% lift in diluted earnings per share to $0.90, and our year-to-date free cash flow is up 35% to $1.7 billion.
Now before I turn the call over to Bruce and Pat for more detailed comments on both our Latin America and U.S. business, let me share a couple of observations. First, starting with Latin America.
DIRECTV Latin America's third quarter results were in line with our expectations and the guidance that we provided you on our last earnings call. Our competitive advantages and operating strengths continue to drive healthy market share gains throughout the region.
Consistent with recent results, we're maintaining momentum in the higher end A and B households, and we continue to see strong subscriber growth from the middle market segments. This subscriber performance drove DTVLA's revenue growth of 16% even in spite of currency headwinds, primarily from the Brazilian reais.
And on a local basis, excluding the impact of foreign exchange, ARPU was up slightly, which I think is quite notable, given that our growth remains very strong in the lower-ARPU middle-market segment. I think this speaks to the continued strength of our brand as we continue to offer popular value added services across Latin America.
Turning to the bottom line, DIRECTV Latin America's OPBDA margin was consistent with our overall expectations. As we discussed on our last earnings call, short-term profitability continues to be impacted by both higher gross additions, as well as some of the increased expenses associated with digesting the tremendous growth that we've seen in our subscriber base over the last couple of years.
Importantly, we're making really good progress working through these, with ongoing initiatives aimed at improving overall customer service levels. For instance, we're in the process of upgrading our IT systems and centralizing our network management structure to ensure consistent service levels and greater productivity.
We've implemented a series of tactical changes to reduce billing cycle costs, and we're opening new call centers outside of greater São Paulo, with a focus on delivering superior customer service at a more affordable cost across the diverse market segments in our subscriber base. With these achievements, we continue to expect to see margins improve. You'll see it in the next quarter, and I remain confident that we'll deliver our OPBDA margin target of about 30% this year. But more importantly, our 5-year vision to profitably double our subscriber base from 8 million to 16 million, as we shared with you in March, while delivering significant cash flow growth, remains right on track as we continue to see exceptional subscriber returns.

By now Stephen Harper should be down to the low teens in popularity, in territory last occupied when Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was at 11 per cent, just before he decided to leave politics in 1993.
Yes, 60 per cent of Canadians disapprove of Harper as a leader say EKOS Politics. But an astonishing 50 per cent think the Harper government has the country going in the right direction.

Foligno had a poor year IMO, but nothing to get bent out of shape about. He's a rookie, i believe he'll improve next season, and the season after that. If he plays a solid north south game which includes banging and a strong forcheck it will benefit his career. Not to mention working on his defense. I can see him develop into a Steve Ott type without the mouth.
I got very bent out of shape, right or wrong, after this year regarding him... Totally, completely, 1000% putting measurables aside, and not looking at points - he was a nonentity with regards to physicality, energy, and the forecheck. That was my big issue with this year. To look disinterested, seemingly because you "proved to belong on the team" is bad when you're so young and haven't earned anything regarding shifts off (games off).
To say he needs to bring back the energy and banging and intensity/tenacity on the forecheck is putting it blandly.

FOXBORO -- Julian Edelman was the Patriots offensive MVP for the first nine games.
With every other target either in the shop, in the county jail, or too new to be relied upon, Edelman spent the first seven games of the season being the Patriots' most reliable (only reliable?) aerial weapon.
Targeted 68 times in the first seven games, Edelman responded with 46 catches and 455 very hard-earned yards.
Over the past two games, with Danny Amendola returning to the lineup and Rob Gronkowski getting up to speed, Edelman's offensive opportunities shrunk.
He was targeted six times in total over the past two games and had just three catches. With Shane Vereen coming back, another player Josh McDaniels can deploy could mean even fewer chances for Edelman to get the ball in his hands.
Few Patriots have worked harder than Edelman over the past few years to make themselves more vital to the team. His performance in training camp in 2012 blew away that of Wes Welker and a lot of that was thanks to Edelman's offseason work in California with Tom Brady that Welker -- who had been franchised -- did not take part in.
But a broken wrist in Week 3 against Baltimore waylaid Edelman's 2012 season. When Welker decided to test free agency, the Patriots moved quickly to sign Amendola as Welker's replacement. Edelman, a free agent as well, could barely raise a sniff on the market and ultimately signed back with the Patriots for just $715,000.
Edelman is incredibly close-to-the-vest with his feelings and rarely moves past clichés when talking to the media. If he took any of the personnel decisions as a slight, he's refusing to show it.
Even now as the carrot of opportunity that was being dangled is in the midst of being pulled away, Edelman tried to seem sanguine.
"Around here there's a thing called mental toughness up on the wall and doing what's best for the team is not necessarily what's best for you," he explained. "When the coaches call your number, that's when you gotta be prepared. There's a few times where I was called and I wasn't prepared and I didn't make a play when I had to so I gotta work on those plays. You never know when your opportunity's gonna come. It could be a lot one week, it could be less the next week. It's all about just being prepared for that opportunity when it comes."
Already, Edelman has career highs in targets, catches and receiving yards. His previous highs -- 54, 37, 359 -- were set in his rookie season. The chances have been a long time coming.
"There's been some opportunity," Edelman agreed. "You look back on it and there's been some good and there's been some bad. There's a lot of things I wish I would have done better but the team's 7-2 and we went into the bye week with a good victory."
If good health favors the Patriots over the final seven games of the regular season, the opportunities for Edelman to make contributions in the regular offense will keep dwindling.
"Nobody knows better than I do that this is a week-to-week league," Edelman pointed out. "Especially this week, we're playing a very tough opponent and that's where my focus is."

Disclaimer: I have a dream… but at the moment, I can't own anything somebody else does. :( Oh! I borrowed the nickname Blue-chan from Corvus corone's New Years fic: HayateHotaru style.
Dedicated: HotaruHayate fans. It won't happen but there's nothing wrong with dreaming. Sorry for the wait.
Empty Threats
She threatened his life everyday but she never did kill him.
-My Hopeless Romantic-
If there was anything that Hotaru loved more than money and blackmail, it was silence. She could have gone forever without the constant itch of her ear when she was in class with the monkeys that called themselves her classmates. And though she might've-sort-of not minded when it was Mikan blowing off her ear, Hayate Matsudaira was a different story altogether.
She never did venture out of her lab or bedroom much unless it was for the necessary trips to Central Town for her invention parts or to attend class. She'd never been much of a social butterfly like Mikan. Nor was she as loud or talkative. If anything, Hotaru understood that she was meant to be blunt and laconic. She couldn't find any other way to interact with others. What did they truly have in common with her other than the age and the potential common acquaintance? Hotaru was different and she knew it. Most of the girls in her year were smiley and clingy.
Hotaru would rather die.
She'd never been one to find it easy to feel affection for another. It wasn't because she was incapable. Hotaru Imai was capable of anything. However, it seemed like some things were far harder and more time-consuming to work at and to her, affection wasn't at the top of her list of priorities. She had other things to do with her time. Time was money, after all and she preferred not to spend valuable money-making time for social outings with anybody other than Mikan—sometimes, not even then.
So the last thing she needed was to find Hayate Matsudaira in front of her door, blocking the path to her lab. Scratch that—the last thing she needed was for him to start talking to her while blocking the path to her lab. Hotaru's eyebrow twitched when she saw a wide, boyish grin light up his face.
She could've sworn something like "Cool Blue Sky" left his lips for a moment before his expression cleared and he said, "Hotaru-chan! Please come to the Valentine's Dance with me!"
Trying her best to be polite, Hotaru blinked and replied, "No."
This didn't go over well with Hayate because the boy blinked and immediately pulled out the CBS card upon his emotional-overload. "Cool Blue Sky," he whined, taking both of her hands into his and holding it to his chest. "I swear you'll have a good time! A great time! I'll buy you flowers and chocolates and buy you the biggest valentine's card and I'll even shake the leaves with my Wind Alice!"
His shoulders slumped and he pouted, "But Narumi-sensei gave me his blessing! You can't jus—"
"Watch me," she fixed him with a cold, bland stare. "It doesn't matter what kind of blessing Narumi-sensei gave you. He's not my father."
Appalled, Hayate recoiled as if he'd been slapped, "But—but I had to pay for his valentines and he promised—"
"He's not my father, Matsudaira."
Hayate's shoulders slumped once more and Hotaru raised a brow at the heart-breaking expression on his face. The boy was positively devastated and Hotaru couldn't be more disgusted. Honestly, did he have to show so much emotion? She'd done her research after their sudden encounter two years before and though it wasn't common knowledge here in Alice Academy, Hotaru knew this person was dangerous and being anywhere near him was being in dangerous territory. He was in the Dangerous Ability Class, after all, and with his temper and slightly dark features, it wasn't a wonder why many feared him.
Hotaru knew better.
She was still wary of his Alice, of course. Then again, she had all the confidence in the world knowing he wouldn't dare lay a finger on her in a harmful way. Not because of her inventions, as much as she would've liked, but because of the embarrassing fact that Hayate Matsudaira, the Dangerous Ability type with the Alice of Air Control and having a good four years of other worldly experience over her, had an extremely huge crush on the inventor, herself.
Oh, not because she was clever. Not because she had a remarkable personality or unique attitude. Oh no, that was probably asking for too much, wasn't it, she thought dryly. The only reason he liked her so much was because she was the spitting image of his favorite video game and comic character: Cool Blue Sky.
Cool Blue Sky.
The thought was enough to make her barf in her mouth a little bit.
What made it worse was the fact that he had the ridiculous idea she was merely playing hard to get.
"If that's the game you want to play, then by God, I'll play it!"
It'd been a year and a half after that proclamation and Hayate still didn't seem the least deterred. He'd be turning seventeen in a week and last October, she'd turned twelve. How desperate could the boy get?
"One date, that's all I ask!"
… Apparently, very desperate, Hotaru mused.
He seemed to be over the fact that Narumi wasn't her father because he took her hands, ignoring her wince and look of disdain before chirping, "I really, really like you."
She tugged her hands out of his grip, or at least, attempted to but Hayate held fast with a determined, pleading pout on his face. "Let go of me."
"Not until you agree, I won't," Hayate promised stubbornly, tightening his grip on her small hands, eyes drifting over her flawless, Cool Blue Sky features. His eyes seemed to glaze at the resemblance once more before he blinked at her deathly murmur.
"If you don't let go of me, I will kill you."
"You'll kill me." Hayate had an amused expression on his face, affection lacing his blunt repetition. "Cool Blue Sky's famous line is 'I will kill you because no one is innocent!'"
Hotaru's eyebrow twitched and Hayate's grin widened. "If you want me to let you go, agree to go to the Valentine's Dance with me, Hotaru-chan."
"No," she bit out through gritted teeth. "When you let your guard down, I will blow your head apart with my Baka Gu—"
"Gun?" Hayate laughed. "It wasn't very effective two years ago and I doubt it'll be effective now, CBS-chan. Besides, I'd be heartbroken if I didn't get to have a dance with you at the dance on Saturday…"
"I don't care," she returned bluntly, refusing to renew her struggle within his tight grip. "Your heartbreak is my eternal wish. I'll have you know, my Baka Guns have been upgraded to shoot faster and harder and with deathly precision."
He blinked as if in a daze, "I love it when you talk dirty."
All logic abandoned, Hotaru kicked him in between the legs and watched him crumble to the ground, clutching his grapes. Ignoring the ow, ouchh's from Hayate, Hotaru nudged him away with her foot and walked into her lab, clasping the locks with a triumphant smirk.
"Cool Blu—" he paused, rethinking his words before rephrasing, "Hotaru-chan, give it some thought! You won't have to find me, I'll find you and I'll pick you up at seven!"
She heard him groan and rolled her eyes. "Come and I'll kill you."
He came anyway, like he always did. It was Saturday evening and Hotaru blinked down at her ratchet when a ratta-tap-tap echoed from the door into her lab. She blinked, her grip immediately tightening on the socket wrench to stare blandly at the door as if it had come to life. Silence ensued and she turned back to her work bench, picking up a specialized bolt with slim, dainty fingers. Her inspection of the item was cut short at another series of knocks.
She scowled, continuing to ignore the knocks, as her fingers fitted the bolt between two pieces of heavy, resistant metal. The cry of "Hotaru-chan!" and the drawn out last syllable made her fingers clench and the bolt flew through the air to clatter onto the ground. Her eyes gleamed with annoyance with another loud repetition of her name and pinching the bridge of her nose with her thumb and forefinger, Hotaru stood up, grabbed her Baka Gun leaning against the wall adjacent to the door, slid the locks open and wrenched the door open. Without skipping a beat, she fired.
Three times.
He stood tall as the smoke cleared, unscathed.
Hotaru narrowed her eyes. "What do you want?"
He seemed to have the word "you" on the tip of his tongue but instead, presented with a flourish, a bouquet of color-enhanced roses to her. They were a shade darker than sky blue, all intricately placed and blooming.
Hotaru narrowed her eyes and watched as Hayate's face split into a sheepish, albeit annoyingly handsome grin. "They're for you, Blue-chan," he shook them a little.
Blue… chan?
Hotaru's eyes glinted and she resisted the urge to growl.
He would die.
Without an invitation, Hayate stepped through the doorway and into her lab, laying the bouquet on her workbench before inspecting the room. "I talked to Narumi-sensei the other day—"
For God's sake, he isn't my father!
"—and he told me you were Subaru-san's sister."
Hotaru stiffened, her back ramrod straight before she turned, eyes dark with annoyance, "What?"
"Your brother," Hayate repeated, scratching the back of his head. "The healer, you know? Good guy," he commented with a small grin on his face. "Sometimes it sounds like he has a stick up his arse though."
"He's not my brother," was her automatic response.
Hayate laughed, the sound surprisingly deep. "He said you'd say something like that," Hayate commented, resting the palms of his hands on the back of his head nonchalantly. "So when are you going to tell him about me?"
"Why," Hotaru's eye twitched, "—would I do something stupid like that?"
"You're not ashamed of me are you?" Hayate's grin slipped. "It's not like he'd make a big deal about it. He's a healer for—"
"You're going to die," Hotaru hissed darkly, her fingers itching. "Are you stupid?"
Hayate rolled his eyes. "He's a freakin' healer, Hotaru-chan. What's he going to do, heal me to death? He does that enough as it is."
"I wasn't talking about him," Hotaru growled. "I am going to kill you."
He waved a hand in the air, undeterred. "Li-arrrr," he sang. He flashed one of his one-hundred watt smiles before taking three steps closer until they were nose-to-nose, or rather chest-to-nose, smiling, "I don't believe you'd ever hurt me."
Blinking rapidly, he interrupted anything she'd been about to say with his offhand comment, "You've been saying that for years, Blue-chan. You say you'll kill me but I know you can't. You're just full of empty threats."
"Care to repeat that?" Hotaru growled darkly, arms tingling with electricity. "I didn't think you were that stupid but a moment ago, I opened fire on you." Her knuckles cracked loudly as if to reinforce her words. "Let's make this clear: I don't like you. In any way."
"Open fire?" he furrowed his brows. "Oh! You mean the gun?"
"Yes, I'm talking about the gun," she grated irritably, folding her arms. She hated standing so close to him. Craning her neck to glare at him was not worth the effort but at straining times where he was being a cocky bastard, desperate times called for desperate measures.
He hummed happily for a brief moment, grey eyes sparkling with amusement. "I've come to accept it. It's the only way you know how to show your affection. I understand," he shrugged, speaking as if she were some kind of retarded child. "Our love is strong enough to overcome anything! I couldn't possibly think of leaving you for something as juvenile as that."
Hotaru's eyes narrowed, voice as cold as winter. "What about the fact that I hate you? Or the fact that I want to kill you every time you say something disgustingl—"
"You can threaten me on our way to the dance," Hayate interrupted, taking her arm and leading her to the door. "You look great, by the way," he grinned wolfishly, sending her a sidelong glance, "Very you."
She wrenched her arm away, hand searching for the handle of her gun. "I'm in my uniform," she griped impatiently, eyeing his innocent demeanor warily. She touched cold metal.
"That's when you look the most beautiful," he shrugged. His eyes brightened a second later when he reiterated, "You'd look even more beautiful with Cool Blue Sky's fighting costume…"
She fired.
She didn't miss.
When the smoke cleared, he was sprawled on the ground with a dark, angry red mark on his cheek, a dazed expression etched on his face and messy hair even more tousled than usual.
"I'm not going to the dance with you."
"One more word and I'll kill you," she promised darkly, her temple twitching with an angry throb. The latch on her Baka Gun clicked ominously in the dark corridor and Hayate rubbed his cheek with a small pout on his face.
"We've talked about this before, Coo—Hotaru-chan," he grumbled, slightly exasperated. "I know you. If hitting me is the only way you can show your love, then I'll take it!"
She fired two more times and judging by the groans of pain, she'd hit the target. Hotaru smirked.
Ignoring Hayate's small curse of objection, she slammed the door shut, bolted the four locks, leaned her gun against the wall adjacent to the door and sat at her desk, eyeing the bouquet of blue roses with a critical eye.
Empty threats? She scoffed. Rolling her eyes, she picked up another bolt and placed it securely in between the two metal slabs. "Hotaru-channn!"
The bolt flew.
And at the end of the day, after she'd fired at him a dozen or so more times, Hayate couldn't help the slow, boyish grin from spreading over his face.
She still hadn't killed him.
Yes, I'm perfectly aware that this was a long time coming. I'm sorry for the long wait and I'm perfectly aware this is really OOC for Hotaru but you know what? I like it, ha! Hayate pwns! Oh, and be nice and review? Thanks for reading!
