Designer Gary McBournie: Through the Years in Traditional Home
Warmth meets elegance and a comfortable sophistication in Gary McBournie's designs
Warmth meets elegance and a comfortable sophistication in the work of Boston-based Gary McBournie, whose refined and polished interiors are always a hit with our readers. Classic furniture, decorative arts, innovative color schemes, and graphic accents are the signatures of his always inviting style.
Serene Sitting Area
The tuxedo sofa in Gary McBournie's own Boston loft is softened with pillows and set off by a pair of upholstered screens. On the wall above is a starburst found at a flea market in Paris.
Inviting Living Room
A suede-upholstered chimney adds texture to the living room. The bookshelves that flank the fireplace create intrigue with books, art, and old gear parts.
Elegantly Simple Dining Room
The dining area of the loft is kept simple, with a round mahogany table and dining chairs upholstered in soft green-striped velvet.
Light-flooded Kitchen
The kitchen is flooded with natural light that pours through the industrial windows overlooking the city. Circular cutouts give verve to bar stools sitting at an island topped with Vermont marble.
Cozy Bedroom
A warm caramel palette and a nook for the bed create coziness in the bedroom; the banding on the comforter is a classic touch.
Coral and Cream Library
In this library in a house near Boston, a color-blocked wool rug is textural and graphically colorful.
Crisp White Slipcovers
Crisp white slipcovers are as classic and versatile as an oxford cloth shirt that can be dressed up or down. Here, with checked pillows and worn wood antiques, they go the casual route.
Timeless Look
A lacquered antique sea chest serves as a coffee table; flea-market-find lamps made from laboratory beakers add a layer of history.
Cheery Breakfast Area
A groovy custom rug in the shape of a flower adds punch to the breakfast area. Chairs covered in patchwork plaid slipcovers layer color and pattern into the room, while white linen keeps the window treatments simple.
Inviting Kitchen
A checkerboard pattern floor and bar stools in multiple bold colors make the kitchen a good place to gather.
Hint of Mint
A relaxing master bedroom with mint-green walls and ethereal white curtains gets a current of color from a sumptuous royal blue throw.
Mellow Yellow
Sunny yellow walls and an antique iron daybed give the guestroom down home charm; the dramatic ikat pattern pillows add a dose of global panache.
Jaunty Entryway
In a home that was originally a barn and carriage house, a large, lofty entry posed a challenge. "This space was always a question mark that none of us wanted to tackle," said McBournie. "An antique rug directed its pattern, and we applied bright colors that were tempered with an umber wash so it didn't have a psychedelic look." Now, a striking geometric pattern in the entryway welcomes guests to this Massachusetts house.
Earthy Brights Palette
A fun mix of patterns and colors gives the large living room an easygoing attitude.
Iron Chandelier
The chairs surrounding the dining table were covered in a rust-colored ultrasuede but add surprise with contrasting linen on the back. The large iron chandelier over a reclaimed wood table makes a handsome focal point.
Warm Gathering Spot
The long center island, painted barn red, makes a good place to visit while a meal is being prepared. The charming ruffled valance is a typical McBournie flourish—understated but pretty.
Easygoing Breakfast Nook
With a big bay window, yellow walls and a hand-braided rug, the breakfast nook has a sunny disposition. The moss green corbels are a nice detail.
Soothing Bedroom Palette
The soothing palette of brown, cream, white, and toned down greenish teal make the bedroom a great place for musing. The drum style tables add interest.
Salute to Summer
This blue-and-white boys' bedroom is perfect for the summer months at this all-season Cape Cod home.
Gilded Era
The glamorous gilded frame of the mirror and lavish window treatments hint at an earlier era, with a neutral carpet and a solid green sofa grounding the scheme and making it feel more contemporary.
Canopy Bed
Accents of red temper the predominately blue-and-white color scheme of the master bedroom. A Victorian settee was re-upholstered with the room's signature floral fabric.
Stenciled Sisal
McBournie livened up a formerly staid living room by putting a more modern spin on it for Traditional Home's 10th anniversary issue in 1999.An Asian rug was replaced by modern day stenciled sisal. Formal furniture was exchanged with comfortable armchairs and sofas in colorful prints.
Seaside Living Room
Delft-like blue and white provide a classic touch in the living room of this West Indies vacation home, See the next slide for more detail.
Blue-and-White Porcelain
The blue-and-white porcelain atop the carved German cupboard set the palette for the room.
Seaside Guest Room
Bright green and floral fabrics liven the guest bedroom. A scalloped cornice tenting the raffia headboard makes a dramatic statement.
Seaside Guest Room
Mahogany twin beds with bedspreads that have bright flowers on a white ground echo the West Indies vibe of the house.
Seaside Bathroom
Peach-hued walls give the bathroom a warm tropical feel. The blue-and-white theme is continued with the porcelain in this space.
Seaside Master Bedroom
The grand mahogany bed in the master bedroom was custom-made in West Indies style. The small settee at the foot of the bed was crafted on the island.
Nantucket Dining Room
When McBournie took possession of his Nantucket home, the dining room had peeling plaster walls. "It needed a statement," he said. His remedy: upholstered walls in a mini-check fabric and a painted floor in a bold "old world" pattern.
Nantucket Living Room
McBournie painted the watercolors of shells above the sofa in the living room himself. The room's décor references the home's location in a former whaling town and the fact that it's original owner was a boat captain.
Nantucket Kitchen
This kitchen was reconstructed to closely resemble the original one in an old Nantucket home; a yellow, blue, and white palette gives it abundant energy and warmth.
Blue-and-White Boys' Room
In one of the small upstairs guest rooms, denim "canopies" are hung on rods and draped as closely as possible to the slanted wall.
Blue-and-White Master Bedroom
Dreamy pale blue walls envelop this room, where a custom-made duvet trimmed and tied in burlap keeps things vacation casual.

Datasmith is a Perfect Fit for PlanetShoes.com
MSP Teams with Ingram Micro to Successfully Move Fast-Growth e-tailer to the Cloud
Datasmith Network Solutions has been in the IT network infrastructure sales and services business for more than two decades, spanning two generations. The business has thrived because the Datasmith approach to business is personal. "When our customers call with a problem, we take care of it, and then we stand by that work with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee," says Datasmith Partner Paul Smith. "Their IT problems are our IT problems and we won't quit until the job is done right and to their satisfaction."
This customer-first signature of service, combined with its technical expertise and business-minded approach to IT, are what set Datasmith apart from competitors twice its size. Another core differentiator is its working relationship with the world's largest technology distributor, Ingram Micro. By using the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace (www.ingrammicrocloud.com), a transactional, online marketplace, solution providers like Datasmith and MSPs can shop, procure provision and obtain invoices for their cloud services directly from Ingram Micro.
"Our relationship with Ingram Micro and the business value it brings to the table has been a game-changer for us and our clients," says Smith. "By working with Ingram Micro and leveraging its resources, relationships and expertise, we've been able to win larger customer accounts such as PlanetShoes.com and really differentiate ourselves in the market – especially when it comes to cloud services."
Earning the Business of PlanetShoes.com by Doing IT Right
A great customer success story that highlights not only the business value of Datasmith's relationship with Ingram Micro, but also the solution provider's sales and service leadership is PlanetShoes.com (www.planetshoes.com). Recognized as a fast-growing specialty e-tailer, PlanetShoes.com strives to deliver the best shoes, bags and other accessories in the most eco-conscious way possible and relies heavily on technology to make business happen. With six websites – each receiving about 30,000 unique visitors a day – and sales that can soar as high as 5,600 items a week, a top priority for PlanetShoes.com is keeping their websites easy-to-use, available and transactional.
"When you get down to it, we are a technology company that happens to sell shoes, purses and accessories," says PlanetShoes.com's Director of IT Scott LaPointe. "For the type of business we're in, business loss can exceed $90,000 each day the website is down. That's unacceptable and no one understands that more than Paul and the Datasmith team."
LaPointe elaborates, "A couple of years ago, we had lost our network admin, and instead of hiring a replacement, we outsourced our IT to a large SQL database administrator firm. The firm never made me feel like I was one of their customers. Any time I had an IT issue, such as an email server going down, I had to hound them to get it fixed. Plus, they never gave us any direction or advice regarding how we could improve and better protect our IT network. Datasmith did the exact opposite – they gave us attention, guidance, and tangible solutions. They are the real deal and truly earn my business every day."
LaPointe first met with Smith when PlanetShoes.com was three months away from its contract end date with the SQL DBA firm. Out of the gate, LaPointe was impressed with Smith's consultative approach. "Paul gave me confidence that my success was his success and that Datasmith would take ownership of our IT problems," says LaPointe. "He also talked about the importance of doing a network assessment, finding out where we were currently, and developing a roadmap for where we wanted to go with our network."
At the second meeting, Datasmith Networks ran that network assessment and uncovered several troubling issues, including low memory on the e-tailer's virtual machine clusters, and servers that were approaching the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, PlanetShoes.com did not have a true backup and disaster recovery solution in place. "Their assessment was right on the money," says LaPointe. "I had been spending a lot of time each week moving virtual machines from server to server trying to free up space, and I often had to reboot the aging servers."
Smith's consultative approach and expertise in cloud services are what really won PlanetShoes.com over. In their final meeting, Smith presented LaPointe with multiple options for solving his IT challenges, ranging from buying new hardware to moving everything to the cloud via Amazon Web Services (AWS). The tie with AWS was a relationship Datasmith had gained thru the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace. The results? A comprehensive managed IT service and support contract.
Making the Move to Cloud One Site at a Time
When all was said and done, LaPointe was in. A software programmer at heart, LaPointe didn't want to be in the business of managing hardware. Consequently, he was very open to the idea of moving his IT infrastructure to the cloud and putting a management contract in place. But the memory of expensive down-time lingered, and he remained a little leery of potential hiccups in migrating every-thing to the cloud.
Not missing a beat, Smith explained the solution to LaPointe's concern – a phased approach to the project that would start with the smallest websites, work out any snags, and then progress to larger ones.
"Smith and his team understood where I was coming from and they had a plan," says LaPointe. "What's more, they had tremendous support from Ingram Micro and NetEnrich backing to get this done right the first time. It's a beautiful thing to find a true business partner who knows how to put technology to work for the customer."
Datasmith won PlanetShoes.com's business and shortly thereafter began migrating the e-tailer's web, email, and other business servers to the cloud using Amazon AWS. The move to the cloud was a success strategy that positioned PlanetShoes.com for rapid expansion, but Smith is quick to point out that he didn't win the business alone.
"Through Ingram Micro, we were able to work Amazon AWS into our solutions portfolio. We also forged a valuable 24/7/365 day working relationship with NetEnrich to provide all the NOC (network operation center) support we needed, including remote monitoring, patch management, and off-site data backups for PlanetShoes.com. We use NetEnrich for other Datasmith customers as well," says Smith.
"These relationships and cloud services have radically enhanced our capabilities and allowed us to go after much bigger customers."
Smith admits every once in a while he gets giddy about what Ingram Micro has helped him do in a relatively short amount of time. "With Ingram Micro and NetEnrich as partners, I haven't spent a dime on my NOC, yet we can provide as good or better service than our competitors who have spent millions on theirs," quips Smith.
"Working with Ingram Micro, however, allows smaller resellers like us to compete more effectively and have a voice with heavy cloud-hitters like Amazon AWS. It also provides us with the education, resources and vendor introductions we need to succeed and help our cloud-based customers do the same," concludes Smith.

A paper published by the Martens Centre, the EPP think tank, tells us to accept the reality of a substantial conflict with Russia. And basically to prepare for the worst.
I came across the booklet by chance, attending an event by the Martens Centre on another topic, about the "post- South Stream".
While I listened the speakers, I realized that the booklet was more interesting, and probably more controversial, than the talk show. My only tweets during the gas conference were about what I saw in the booklet.
I know: this is only a pamphlet written by two people. But the EPP is the number one force which made the EU and what its think tank says probably carries more weight that some people would say in their blog.
This is why I stop here. The rest of this blogpost is quotations from the booklet.
Fasten your seat belts.
"Russia has become a revisionist power that is undermining core principles of international law and challenging the European peace order."
"The confrontation with a newly aggressive Russia is the most severe test. The European Union has to bury the idea of a modernisation partnership with Russia as long as the Putin regime is in power, let go of its Russia First approach, engage massively on reform in Eastern Europe and learn to accept the reality of a substantial conflict with Russia."
"Russia will not return to a cooperative attitude as long as Vladimir Putin is in power. Europe and North America are in for a longer-term conflict, and must prepare for it politically, economically and militarily."
"NATO has to adjust to the threats posed by a new kind of warfare practised by Russia. It should, among other things, review the interpretation of 'attack' in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty."
"Article 5 may not have to be reformulated. But a concerted use by a foreign power of cyber warfare, propaganda and/or irregular forces ('little green men') should become part of the generally accepted interpretations of 'armed attack'. Moreover, and even more importantly, NATO and its member states are only at the beginning of a process of developing methods to defend against, and to deter, hybrid threats."
"Hence, to make a resurgence of the West possible, Putin's Russia must be confronted, Europe must become more responsible, primarily through a better European Union, and the transatlantic relationship must undergo a thorough renewal. This is what we call the renaissance of the West."
I could quote more, but you can read the original.

Saints Set Season High In Runs and Hits, Sweep Canaries 16-4ST. PAUL, MN July 18, 2015
SIOUX FALLS, SD (July 18, 2015) – With the opportunity to sweep their fifth series of the season, and first since June 8-10, the St. Paul Saints left little doubt. They set a season high in runs and hits, pounding out 19 total hits, in a 16-4 rout of the Sioux Falls Canaries at Sioux Falls Stadium on Saturday night. With the win the Saints improved to 42-12 and have an 18.5 game leading in the North Division.
All nine Saints collected at least one hit, eight of the nine players scored at least one run and seven of the nine had at least one RBI.
The Saints jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first when Alonzo Harris tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly from Willie Argo. Vinny DiFazio followed with a solo homer to center, his 10th of the season.
The Saints carried a 4-1 lead into the fifth, but the Canaries tied the game up. With one out Michael Broad doubled and Chris Grayson doubled him home to make it 4-2. With two outs David Bergin hit a two-run homer to left-center, his seventh of the season, to tie the game at four.
The Saints, however, answered back and didn't stop. In the sixth Harris singled, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Argo's RBI single to make it 5-4. Harris finished the night 3-6 with an RBI and four runs scored.
Then the onslaught ensued. The Saints sent 10 men to the plate in the seventh and plated six runs. Three straight singles by Anthony Phillips, Ryan Lashley and Dan Kaczrowski, the latter plating a run, made it 6-4. An error by third baseman RJ Perucki on a ball hit by Harris scored a run to make it 7-4. Three batters later Angelo Songco made it 9-4 with a two-run double. Mike Kvasnicka made it 11-4 with a two-run single.
In the ninth the Saints did something they hadn't done all season, hit a grand slam. Kvasnicka's RBI single made it 12-4 and then Phillips, crushed a line drive with the bases loaded over the right field wall, his second of the season, to put the capper on the night. Phillips went 3-6 with a grand slam, four RBI and two runs scored.
The Saints return home Sunday evening at 5:05 p.m. to begin a four game series against the Winnipeg Goldeyes at CHS Field. The Saints send LHP Kramer Sneed (9-1, 2.56) to the mound against Goldeyes RHP Matt Jackson (3-6, 4.90). It is Peanut Free Night presented by Midwest Ear, Nose and Throat. The game can be seen on the Saints Cable Network, cable access channels in the Twin Cities area, head on Club 1220 KLBB and in the ballpark on 97.9.

Engelhardt argues that air war has always been barbaric (in that civilians disproportionately take the brunt of it) yet has never been an effective means of breaking the will of an enemy.
On our we/they planet, most groups don't consider themselves barbarians. Nonetheless, we have largely achieved non-barbaric status in an interesting way -- by removing the most essential aspect of the American (and, right now, Israeli) way of war from the category of the barbaric. I'm talking, of course, about air power, about raining destruction down on the earth from the skies, and about the belief -- so common, so long-lasting, so deep-seated -- that bombing others, including civilian populations, is a "strategic" thing to do; that air power can, in relatively swift measure, break the "will" not just of the enemy, but of that enemy's society; and that such a way of war is the royal path to victory.It's a long essay that addresses the history of air war and puts the current air wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon into the context of a tactic that historically when used "to 'surgically' separate a movement and its supporters from the air" ends up having the opposite effect.
This set of beliefs was common to air-power advocates even before modern air war had been tested, and repeated unsuccessful attempts to put these convictions into practice have never really shaken -- not for long anyway – what is essentially a war-making religion. The result has been the development of the most barbaric style of warfare imaginable, one that has seldom succeeded in breaking any societal will, though it has destroyed innumerable bodies, lives, stretches of countryside, villages, towns, and cities.
I wouldn't say that air war is the most barbaric form of war imaginable (images of an army of Joss Whedon's Reavers come to mind, for instance), but it certainly has contributed to some of the most horrific killings of civilians in human history.

Scorpius was taken aback when he woke up in a room, tied to a bed, in nothing but his boxers. His first instinct was to break free of the hold, but whoever roped him up did a proficient job. After several failed attempts Scorpius didn't even manage to loosen the hold. He tried to think back to how the hell he could have gotten in this position. For a brief, fleeting second he thought maybe Rose had put him in this situation. But that hope died viciously as he gray eyes looked around the dingy, unused guest room. He knew Rose would never leave him in this dirty of a room. His obsessive need for order was already gnawing at him more and more as he was trapped there.
As he looked around, he felt his brittle chin scratch his shoulder. Frowning, he remembered he had just shaved the day before. There was no reason in the world that his facial hair should be that long. It was almost as if he'd gone two days without shaving. That couldn't be right. But his stomach was completely empty and his mouth was dry.
The last thing he could remember was leaving Rose to go find James. He was looking in his flat…and then he couldn't remember anything else. There did seem to be a bump on his head…
Before he could call out to find out exactly what the hell was happening, Rachel Levitt walked through the door and sat on the edge of the bed. Her long blonde hair was perfect as it flowed down long past her chest.
"Rachel?" He croaked in surprise.
"Hello Scorpius. I hate that we have to meet again in this way," She shrugged, feigning sadness. "But after your little girlfriend and most of her family survived the last strike, I'm afraid we are here again."
He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "But you…you helped us."
"I did, to give up my Wizard's debt to Albus and Rose, but that debt is gone now so I have absolutely no loyalty to either one of them."
"Albus is dead."
There was a flash of emotion in her eyes, just a flash, but then it was gone. She returned to her collected exterior.
"Yes well, he is a Potter. That was bound to happen eventually."
"What do you want?" He snapped, sensing the danger he was in.
"I don't want anything."
"Then why am I here?!"
Rachel frowned. "Because they want to hurt you."
"Who are they?!"
She didn't answer. Rachel stood up and left the room.
August 17 2029
Today marks the sixth week that Auror Scorpius Malfoy, age 24, has been missing. Sources say that his disappearance is not linked to any cases he was working and is more likely to be related to the recent breakout in Azkaban. His family, previously a prominent pureblooded family, has swayed far from the dark prestige it once held. So the question is whether it was perhaps an old enemy of Draco Malfoy that has captured his beloved only son?
Scorpius Malfoy lived alone in a two bedroom flat, but it was heavily rumored that his girlfriend, Auror Rose Weasley, daughter of Hermione Granger and the deceased Auror Ron Weasley and niece of Head Auror Harry Potter, was about to become his fiancée. Ms. Weasley has given no comment to the prophet, but those close to the twenty-four year old insist that they were headed for the altar. One friend of Rose's even mentioned, 'they were soul mates.'
Although it's no secret that Draco Malfoy has done a great deal of damage to the Death Eater community, could it have actually been the on again off again relationship with one Rose Weasley that signed Scorpius' death sentence?
Astoria Malfoy frowned, an expression that made her beautiful face crease, revealing her age. Taking the Daily Prophet in her hand, she walked into her husband's study with a heavy heart.
"What is it?" He asked softly, looking up at his wife.
She threw the Daily Prophet down at the desk and waited for him to finish reading it. "Rose is going to kill her."
"That is hardly a concern-"
"She's on edge Draco! Don't you see that? Weeks without hearing a scrap of news about Scorpius has sent her over the edge!"
His steel eyes locked on his wife. "But that's not-"
"He was going to propose." She stated flatly, crossing her tan arms. "Now I know you have always had an opinion of her because of her family, but as soon as Scorpius bought that ring she became our family too. She will go to the depths of hell for my son, and that means we will do the same for her."
Draco Malfoy opened his mouth to retort something, but after one look at his wife he quickly changed his mind. "What do you want me to do? I have every contact I have looking for him. Even the Weasley girl has done everything she can to find him…I can't stop this reporter from writing whatever she wants. There's nothing I can do."
"Her name is Rose, and what I'm asking is that…" Astoria's big hazel eyes filled with tears as her body shook. "What I'm asking is that you support her, because if anyone will find him it will her…I need her to find him…I need-" Her speech died as she was overwhelmed by tears.
Draco Malfoy rose from his desk, his receding hair pushed back as he moved to embrace his wife. He knew she needed to put her faith somewhere. She needed believe that someone would find their son and bring him home. At first she believed the Aurors would do it, but after several failed ventures her trust in them had died. Now the only person she believed would fight as hard as she and her husband would to find Scorpius was Rose. It took a few weeks for her to see it, but once you've been around someone enough you begin to see the core of who they are. And Astoria saw that it was literally killing Rose Weasley that Scorpius was out there somewhere and she couldn't find him.
Soothing his wife, Draco rested his arms on her shoulders and cradled her face into his chest as he rubbed her back. Draco felt numb. At first he wanted to just inform the authorities and figure out a plan, somewhere to put his excess energy. But now, weeks later he had nowhere to put his raw grief, so he did the next best thing, he repressed it.
In a dark London alleyway that the deep heat of the summer seemed to avoid, Rose Weasley walked into an abandoned building. Her red hair was tied back in a tight braid bringing out her pale skin and freckles. As she moved quietly through the building, her face was rigid and completely focused. Her face had aged considerably in the past two months. The lines in her face were more pronounced and her eyes were colder than before.
It took a moment for her to get to the floor she needed and when she did, she found her Azkaban escapee right where she expected him to be. This wasn't the usual target. He was a high level security risk, and was on the most wanted list, but Rose didn't hesitate for a second. She was the youngest Auror to be at her standing. Though she had little seniority, in the past two months she'd nabbed countless murderers and convicts to the point where she'd been promoted, twice. This was her life now, and she'd become ruthlessly good at it.
The man, Luke Ripley, had murdered six witches after robbing them blind. He was 34, tall, with dark hair and very suave. Ripley knew exactly how to talk a woman out of all of her savings, but after running into Rose twice, once in prison and once escaping from custody, he had learned she wasn't that type of woman. That wasn't the case at first. Initially, he thought maybe he could work her into getting him out, but after seeing how thoroughly aloof and unfeeling she was, he stopped bothering. Then when she almost caught him, as she was the only one smart enough to figure out his plot, he began to loathe her.
"Weasley," Luke Ripley snarled as he turned around. "If you know what's good for you, you'll turn around and walk out."
She grinned an unpleasant grin. "I've never really done what's good for me."
"I've heard. So is catching me another suicide mission?" He asked, not bothering to grab his wand.
"I doubt catching you is that dangerous," She said, circling him like a hawk. "We've caught you once, I'm sure I can do it again."
He sneered as he looked down at her. "You can try."
"Yes, I can."
There was a beat of silence. In that silence all that was heard were cars driving by and summertime bugs chatting and then there was a loud thunderous crash that was perfectly on time. For only an instant Ripley shifted to see what it was, but in that split second Rose had him disarmed and caged in robes.
A year ago she would have been victorious. Six months ago she would have been excited beyond belief. Two months ago she would have grinned so hard her face would have hurt. But now, at this moment, she barely cared.
"Who was with you?!" Ripley cried out in shock and disgust looking around the room, waiting for her partner to show up.
Rose gave him a sad smile. "No one. I set those fireworks up before I came in here."
As she transported him to the Ministry, she knew he was figuring her out, that she in fact didn't have a partner and hadn't been assigned one since Scorpius was taken. No one wanted to work with someone that had no regard for her own life. They wanted someone brave, committed, and a good worker, but not someone whose entire life had become their work.
After successively dropping Ripley in lockup, she apparated to Lauren's flat. She had promised her she would check in and have some tea. Rose didn't understand why Lauren bothered seeing her at all. They only made each other more depressed than they were before they saw each other. Still, the need for the label of friendship lingered in the air so Rose went.
Answering the door, Lauren looked incredibly worn. Her blonde hair was swept off her face by one of her old Hogwarts headbands. Rose almost smiled at the nostalgia of it all, but she didn't.
"Did you see?"
"See what?"
Lauren pulled her sweater farther over her shoulder as she handed Rose the day's Daily Prophet. Rose walked into Lauren's flat, her eyes digging into the paper with perfect distain. Once she saw the headline, her already darkened face tint red with anger at the words.
Rose ripped up the Daily prophet to shreds and chucked it into Lauren's fireplace. Lauren moved to her couch, curled up into a tight ball and eyed her best friend; she looked remarkably like a cat at that angle. She was trying to be considerate to Rose, but she knew, as any friend would know, that any effort she made would be worthless. It was all good in theory, but for a while now Rose had been long past listening to anyone.
"Can I get her fired?" Rose asked with a dark tone that she now used with casual everyday speech. "I mean I have to be able to get her fired, right?"
"I doubt it. It's not against the law to write guesses."
Rose chewed her lip bitterly and then looked at Lauren. "How are you?"
"I'm fine," Lauren lied. "We've been broken up for three weeks now so I'm through the worst of it."
"I still think it's a bloody waste. Why did you guys break up in the first place?"
Lauren pushed her blonde hair out of her face and her jaw tightened. "I'd rather not talk about it. I understand you're furious…because you're always furious now, but my past relationship is not something I'd like to relive."
"Aren't you supposed to be headed for a meeting right now?"
Rose swore as she checked her watch. "Merlin…you're right. I'm sorry, I should have been here earlier. I didn't expect my paperwork to take so long. I'll see you tomorrow." She paused, her face softening for a minute. "I'm sorry…I'm not trying to dump any of this on you…"
"It's fine Ro. Go to work."
Rose felt a wave of guilt rush up from her spine and creep up her throat as she looked at her disheveled best friend. She knew Lauren was broken and hurt from her break up with Hugo, though she'd be the last person in the entire world to admit it. They had ended things on uneasy terms and it was clear that neither one of them were really okay with how things were. Rose didn't know if it was because they both still had feelings for each other or because they had never really got closure, but either way she couldn't really care. On some level she cared, in the same way she'd always care about the welfare of kittens and puppies, but right now feeling anything other than anger hurt too much to process.
She'd been broken too badly to be repaired; now she just functioned as a part of society. She went to work, she ate, and she slept. Rose did everything she was supposed to do. For the rest of her life she could do this, helping others, doing the right thing, but taking joy in nothing. Until she got some kind of closure on Scorpius, she'd always just coast through life, starring at unlocked windows and doors, wondering if today was the day he'd wander back through. And until that day, she'd never give up on him or stop looking for him.
For a while she convinced herself it would be different if the situation had been different. If they'd had years of happiness together, if he'd died, or if they'd simply broken up, it wouldn't be as bad as this. The worst part was the lack of choice. Neither of them had chosen this so she found it impossible to walk away from.
At first people of all walks of life were coming up to her saying they were sorry, saying they understood. She wanted to slap them. She wanted to strike them down with every fiber of her being until they truly felt as cut open and raw as she felt every single moment of the day. But she didn't, because in spite of herself, she still had hope. Hope that each day would be the day that she heard something, saw something, felt something that told her that he was alive, that his heart was still beating. But every day came and went, and she heard not a single thing. There was not a trace of evidence to let that little piece of hope rise in her. So the hope began to erode, like an ocean does to the land, until the land is worn away.
Arriving back at the office, she walked through the Auror security and went to her desk. Before, her friends, colleagues and relatives used to visit her, but they didn't bother anymore. They knew it only would set her off.
Grabbing her paperwork, Rose headed into the conference room for her next assignment.
"Auror Weasley, you will assist Aurors Roberts and Andrews on this mission," Her uncle told her coldly as if he was speaking to a disobedient inferior officer he had no personal relationship with. "Then you will all report back to me when this mission is completed."
The three Aurors nodded and planned to meet by the elevators in fifteen minutes. Knowing that the other two Aurors probably didn't want to be anywhere near her, Rose took her time meeting them. She decided to get a cup of coffee before she left to waste some time. When she got there she saw Roberts and Andrews and moved to turn around when she felt herself being pulled into their conversation.
Rose caught one of them saying, "You know Potter's been a right prick for the past two months."
Another responded in a more sympathetic voice. "Well his kid was killed."
Her whole body shook with uncontrollable rage and it took every ounce of what little self-control she had left not to go into the next room and throttle the two men's throats.
"It has to be worse for Weasley though. You know they've sent her on almost fifty missions this month? I think they're trying to keep her busy."
The rude one said, "More like they don't want her around. You've seen her lately. She looks like one wrong look from someone and she'll rip their head off. Though I'm sure I could take her."
The other man laughed. "I'd pay a lot of galleons to see that."
"Don't get me wrong though, with all that raw rage she's got going on under those tight little outfits. I wouldn't mind shagging-"
Rose walked in, with an emotionless smirk on her face. "Lloyd, I would really love it if you would get me a coffee before we go. Do you mind?"
Lloyd Roberts was so shocked that he jumped and his brown eyebrows disappeared behind his forgettable brown hair. Jake Andrews snickered, flashing a smirk of his own at his colleague's face.
Lloyd nodded. "Uh…Yeah sure."
"Thank you so much Lloyd," Rose told him without an ounce of warmth in her voice. She moved to stand next to Jake.
Jake gave her a knowing smirk. "You did that on purpose."
"You have no proof," She said, letting out a very small laugh. Pausing, she shook herself and gave him a look.
"What?" He asked, raising his hands in innocence.
Blinking, she rubbed her eyes. "Nothing, sorry."
What was wrong with her? He'd said something funny and she'd laughed, but at this point she was so crazy she didn't understand herself anymore. Was she mad because he'd made her laugh? Or was she mad because she didn't know why she did?
Jake Andrews was two years older than she was. He was taller, with rich brown hair and deep blue eyes. A few months ago Rose remembered her coworker Jade saying he was the hottest guy in the department, and Rose could see why. Andrews had this easy smile and an every-man attitude that fit him in with any crowd. About two weeks earlier he had taken two days off of work. He had said it was a family emergency, but Rose didn't buy it. She always thought it was an unscheduled vacation, but never said anything because it wasn't her problem.
"You okay?" Andrews asked, sincerity beaming from his deep blue eyes.
Rose forced on a smile. "I'm fine."
"Glad to see you can still lie," he said, clapping a hand on her shoulder.
"Who says I'm lying?"
He snorted and shook his head. Then he lowered his lips to a centimeter away from her ear. "I did."
A shiver went down her spine as he walked away. It wasn't his voice that made her nerves stand on end, it was the way he had said it. There was a confidence in it that Rose hadn't been expecting. She watched Jake walk over to his desk with his coffee and grab his cloak. Roberts came into view with a coffee for her and an uncomfortable smile.
"Here Rose." He handed her the coffee.
She forced a smile on her face. "Thank you Lloyd. Shall we go then?"
When Lloyd looked the opposite way Rose dumped out her coffee and headed into the elevator. She was never a big fan of coffee and she didn't trust that Roberts wouldn't spit in it or do something to it. Roberts and Andrews stood in front of her, blocking her from the front of the elevator. Shielded from sight Rose let out a silent slow shuddering breath. A slow trickle of sadness passed through her. This time it had nothing to do with Scorpius and everything to do with Albus. She and her cousin used to plan times when they could meet on the elevator so they could get some cousin time in. It was ridiculous how covert they felt about the whole thing. Back then they'd laugh when people noticed the regularity of it. But now the elevator felt empty and lifeless with only the memory of what had been.
After work, Rose went to the cemetery where her father and cousin were buried. She cleaned the area up, added some flowers and then just sat there in the grass. Tears didn't come. All of her tears were gone. She didn't need to cry anymore. It was a purpose that she seemed to have outgrown. As she sat, her knees curled up into her chest, her head on her knees, she looked at the tombstones distantly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw someone going to another tombstone, but she didn't bother to look at them. If she had she might have noticed they were watching her.
But she didn't know, and there was no way she could have known, that it wasn't some stranger; it was her cousin, James.
Two months earlier he had made a promise to find Scorpius and he said he wouldn't return until he succeeded. His beard grown in from his time abroad and he had a few more scars, but he finally had an answer for his cousin. Walking towards Rose, he finally had an answer for her, but he knew it was not what she wanted to hear.

SOAR - Naples Chapter
Naples joined the SOAR family in February 2017. Naples is a city on the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida that's known for high-end shopping and golf courses. The Naples Pier, first erected in 1888, is the city's symbol and a popular fishing and dolphin-spotting destination. The Pier is flanked by miles of beaches with calm waters and fine white "sugar" sand, including those at Clam Pass Park and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
Mark Duszynski
Mark was born and raised in Wisconsin. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering and a MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has done post-graduate study at the Stanford University Business School. Most of his career has been with Johnson Controls where he's held a variety of engineering, management and executive positions. He is currently a VP and Officer/Director of Johnson Controls Federal Systems. His exposure to the Armenian community and SOAR has been mostly through his longtime friend Dr. Chuck (Garbo) Hajinian. The generosity, selflessness and dedication shown by Dr. Hajinian to SOAR's causes is what inspired Mark to co-found the new Naples Chapter.
Naples is a beautiful small city on the SW coast of Florida and is populated with many fortunate, but caring residents. The conditions many Armenian refugees face in other places stands in stark contrast to the affluence of this community. Mark believes the generosity of his Naples neighbors will benefit SOAR as long as the need remains. Mark also has a unique vision for the Naples Chapter. He sees the new chapter as a way to introduce SOAR to others, who not only will engage there, but because of the seasonal nature of much of the Naples population will also seek out other chapters in their permanent home cities and countries to which they return every year.
Pete Keddie
Pete grew up in the Milwaukee area and now lives in Naples, FL. He holds a BS degree in Business from Michigan State University. Previously, he owned a small manufacturing business and now is on the board for 2 non-profit entities. His interest in SOAR began in Wisconsin. He would like to expand SOAR in the Naples Florida area.

When the weather outside is icky, nothing beats a warm blanket and a good book.
Sorry guys, but I have to take another quick break from posting. This one won't be nearly as long though. Have a computer issue I need to take care of and then I'll be back to posting daily! Promise!
Oh… uh, hey there. It was totally like this when I found it. Honest.
I know it's been a patchy at best few weeks with the posts but I hope that will change now that I'm back to just one job. I still have a few odds and ends to wrap up but should be back on schedule soon. Here's one of the cutest duckling videos I've ever seen to help tide you over. Enjoy!
Just have to take a quick little break. I'm working two jobs over Christmas which means I don't actually have a day off for the next little while. I'm going to try to get some more posts done up on Tuesday when I go to work a bit later. I apologize for the delay but boy howdy, this Kitten is busy!

We wandered down to Central Illinois to celebrate our youngest grand-daughter's fourth birthday. The day we drove, freezing rain, sleet and snow were predicted. Thankfully we arrived before the storm. And the weatherman was correct — freezing rain, sleet and five inches of snow fell before dark and into the night. Our grandson was unhappy — school WAS NOT cancelled. But there was still snow on the ground when he came home from school, enough to go sledding at the park. One of his classmates was already on the hill when we arrived. Our daughter joined her daughter on the sled and the fun began. I DID NOT sled down the hill. My HUSBAND did. I don't know if I would have taken a turn if my leg was healed, if my health was better. As it was, I enjoyed taking their pictures, I enjoyed watching their fun. I ENJOYED THE MOMENT!
Central Illinois was snow starved — this was the first measurable snow that they have had this year. AND WE WERE THERE.
I have been aware of life on the other side for more than eighteen years now. Said like that, it is a long time. I am no longer in kindergarten — I have learned MANY lessons and having learned, they are seldom repeated. Day's and weeks can go by without anything unusual happening in my life. But what is normal for me, might be unusual for someone else.
Saturday was the anniversary of my father's birthday. Anniversary's are important. Unusual things sometimes happen. I try to be more aware.
Saturday was a normal day. Our grandson played basketball and we cheered him on. We went to a restaurant for lunch. Nothing unusual.
I went to evening Mass at St. Patrick's. (Getting to early Sunday Mass is difficult.) The music was led by the teen ministry complete with flute, violin and piano. The program listed it as the Mass of St. Ann. The gospel was the Transformation of Jesus on the mountain. Father's homily focused on the times when we get a gift — a glimpse of the other side — how — if and when it happens, we need to enjoy and reflect on the moment. Being that I have had a few such experiences, I can definitely agree. And I can also agree that there never seems to be enough.
After my father passed, I attended a Christ Renews His parish weekend at our church. Our group sponsored the next weekend. One important part of the weekend is to give "help" letters to the participants. I decided that I wanted to make a card for each — I NEEDED a verse to go on each card. I brought many books with me to the camper for research. On my morning walk, I was GIVEN the verse: "Lord, as long as You are with me, I am never alone." I didn't need the books after all. (The full story is in JOURNEY WITH ME.)
After the priest's homily on Saturday night, The congregation sang this song. FLY LIKE A BIRD! "Fly like a bird to the Lord, my soul. I want to soar like an eagle. Though I may journey far from home, I know I'll never be alone."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD! Thank You!

A woman in the United Kingdom has been left paralyzed on her left side after a sexual encounter with her husband, Cosmopolitan UK reports.
Five years ago, 38-year-old Lucinda Allen noticed a sharp pain in her head, just above her right eye, immediately after orgasming.
"I've experienced what's known as post-orgasm 'thunderclap' head-pain all through my adult life, so I really wasn't worried," Allen told The Sun. "The pain I usually have after orgasm is a bit like brain-freeze – quite painful but never lasts long."
But this time, the pain didn't go away.
At the time, Cosmo reports, Allen was 26 weeks pregnant, and suffering from gestational diabetes that affected her blood pressure. But since her blood pressure happened to be low at that point, she and her husband decided it was safe to have sex.
However, Allen told The Sun, she was left "writhing on the bed in agony and crying," and was rushed to the hospital.
"That's when I started to panic," she told The Sun. "That's when I thought I might be having a brain hemorrhage. After that, it was a blur."
On the way to the hospital, she realized she was unable to speak, and doctors' scans revealed that she did indeed have a brain hemorrhage. Allen was then put into an induced coma and had brain surgery while an emergency team stood by in case her daughter needed to be delivered.
Though that thankfully didn't happen, Allen was found to have suffered a major stroke, followed by four small ones, which all caused significant damage to her body. While she was able to deliver her daughter safely six days after the coma via C-section, Allen remains paralyzed on her left side after the brain hemorrhage and strokes, and is now using a wheelchair full-time.
"Waking after a coma is nothing like it is in the movies," she told The Sun. "It's a slow and confusing process. I was extremely distressed — suicidal at times — and I refused to acknowledge that I'd survived a stroke."
Brain hemorrhage are rare — according to the National Stroke Association, 15% of strokes are hemorrhagic. Though statistics are few and far between, we're willing to bet that orgasm-related hemorrhages are also rare, but they do happen.
Allen is opening up about her story now, she said, to raise awareness amongst others.
"Because of what's happened to me, I am now on a mission to raise awareness of how this pain can be a warning sign of impending brain hemorrhage," she told The Sun.
Her neurosurgeon, Alessandro Palazzo, told The Sun that her condition is very rare, but should you experience a persistent headache after sexual activity (HSA), you should check with your doctor immediately.
"If you get a headache during or after sex and the pain is severe, you should seek immediate medical attention, as this could be a sign that a brain hemorrhage has taken place," Palazzo said. "If the pain persists, go to the A & E department of your nearest hospital. If the post-coital head-pain has happened before — if it's an episodic occurrence — and you're concerned, get advice from a neurologist and maybe get an MRI scan, just to rule out any underlying conditions or vascular malformation."

So there I was sitting in the den surfing the net and thinking about what to write about this week. Sometimes it's easy and the words and ideas come quickly and effortlessly. Other times the brick wall in my mind is close to ten feet tall and completely impassable. Today was a brick wall day. I wasn't particularly worried though, as I sipped my tea and watched the last of the leaves fall off the Japanese Maple in the back yard. And then it jumped up at me. Literally, jumped up at me. My eleven year old cat was looking for some attention and I was the only one home.
When we moved into our house my son was six and he desperately wanted a pet. I had been promising him for months that once we moved from our rental into our own house we could get a cat. Day one. "So can we go get our cat today?" Sigh. Every day for the next month I was asked if today was the day we could get our cat. Finally I couldn't put it off any longer and I started to make some calls. I remember my son and I having some discussions about what kind of cat we might get and what we might name a cat. "If we get an orange cat I'm going to name it cheese." He said. Note to self; do not get an orange cat.
When the clerk at the pet store brought the two cats into the room he put them both down in the middle of the floor. "They're brothers." He said. (probably hoping we would take both) One was completely black and the other was what we now know is a tuxedo cat. Black with white paws, chest and half a white nose. The all black one retreated to a corner and sat down to wash itself. The tuxedo cat stood up and walked straight over to us with his tail straight up in the air. "That's the one I want". My son said. I couldn't have agreed more. We couldn't bring him home that day but went home excited that in a couple of days we could come back and pick him up. I remember when we did bring him home and he tore around on the hard wood floors bumping into the walls. I'm not sure if it was the fact that my husband was, at the time, working in Memphis or of it was just because he was such a cool cat, but we ended up named him Elvis.
Life with Elvis as a kitten was not boring or easy. We made the decision that he would be an inside cat. We live in an area close to a forest that is full of racoons, coyotes and the occasional cougar and it just didn't make sense to put him out on the front doorstep. We tried a collar and leash, but really he was just bait at that point. The problem was that he was bound and determine to get outside. We had a Swiss student staying with us that summer who quite often stayed out late and came home mildly intoxicated leaving the front door ajar. I can't tell you how many times I chased that God damn cat up and down our street with a flashlight in my hand. The neighbors must have thought his name was Stupid not Elvis. (at least I didn't have to call him Cheese). Then there was the day that he escaped and bolted up the tree in the neighbors backyard. I managed to get up to him without incident but coming back down I missed a branch and had a wicked bruise in my thigh for a month. God damn cat.
He has mellowed out in his older years. He now sleeps in our closet and some days doesn't wander out until mid morning. His attempts to sleep on my head did not gain much admiration from me and I may have thrown a pillow or two at him in the middle of the night. The closet was just a safer option. He rarely tries to escape anymore. The look on his face says, "meh, it's just too much effort." With my husband away as much as he is, I am happy for his warm furry comfort in the evenings. Although his habit of patting my face (with his claws out) when I stop paying attention to him, can be a tad annoying.
So here I am with Elvis curled up in my lap thinking about all the crazy things he's done and how over the years we have laughed and cursed at him too many times to count. He's purring softly and probably having a cat dream about tuna or the yummy kitty treats we occasionally give him. I'm grateful to have the time to sit and let him nap for a few more minutes but then the day must go on for me. The Best Things in Life for Elvis is that he can just head upstairs and go back to the closet to sleep.

Sunday, April 23rd, was the semi-annual Dapper Day at the Disneyland Resort.
Not only is this the first Dapper Day I have ever taken photos at but it's also the first Dapper Day I have ever been to at all! So, I was very excited to attend, see my friends wearing their snazzy attire, and take photos of people.
For those who don't know what Dapper Day at Disneyland is, I'll let Wikipedia explain it:
Dapper Day is a semi-annual gathering that takes place at the Disney theme parks in Los Angeles, Orlando (spring and fall), and Paris (autumn only). The event is described as fashionable outings to Disney Parks that are intended to celebrate the tradition of "stepping out in style". First held in February 2011 at the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California, as a small function organized by Justin Jorgensen, it has since been held with additional related attractions, including the Dapper Day Expo, Folly: the official Dapper Day after-party, and the Dapper Day car show. "Dapper Day" is a registered trademark and Dapper Day events are not associated with The Walt Disney Company. Dapper Day is intended to celebrate the idea of dressing up in any manner or style. Participants dress in fashions ranging from vintage inspired to contemporary chic. Dapper Day is not private but does require park admission. Sophisticated attire is encouraged.
In recent years, more and more people are incorporating DisneyBound concepts with their dapper attire. DisneyBounding is wearing contemporary fashions inspired by Disney characters or properties: Subtle and clever homages, such as a color palette, a pattern, or an accent piece. Unlike full-on costumes or cosplay which are not in the spirit of Dapper Day, DisneyBounding fits in just nicely and the results are fun, and stunning!
Here are some of my favorite photos I took, at Disney California Adventure park.

If you're simply starting together with your 1st WordPress blog, you've got return to the proper place by visiting OnesmartclicK, as a result of my WordPress guide is certain to be terribly useful to you.
In the following post, I'll assist you to pick the simplest WordPress hosting for your WordPress blog. within the past six years of my very own blogging journey , I even have used quite twelve WordPress shared hosting services, 2 managed hosting services and one unmanaged VPS server.
WordPress Hosting For Bloggers
I host twelve WordPress blogs and 2 static sites, and rather than projected to 1 hosting supply, I still attempt new hosting services once one fails ME on some level.
I have had some comparatively unhealthy experiences with CrazyDomains and FastWebHost hosting services, and that I have had some nice experiences with budget shared hosting corporations like iPage, Bluehost and Hostgator.
As a beginner, choosing the proper hosting service isn't solely crucial, however additionally a headache! I'm certain for your cash quality matters an excellent deal to you, because it will to ME.
Since my space of experience is WordPress, I will purpose you toward a number of the simplest WordPress hosting corporations you'll be able to choose between, reckoning on your budget.
For a brand new WordPress blog (traffic but 15,000/Day), Shared hosting is that the best hosting choice to begin with. If you aren't conversant in the varied forms of WordPress hosting choices (VPS, dedicated, etc.), you must investigate my guide understanding WordPress hosting packages.
This post is written with WordPress specific Hosting and servers in mind. as a result of WordPress has evolved into one amongst the foremost downloaded self-hosted blogging platforms out there, it needs powerful servers. Moreover, while not a robust WordPress caching mechanism, you won't be able to run a WordPress blog swimmingly.
For this reason, you must positively install either the W3 total cache or Super cache plugin. each work right out of the box (from installation).
Simplest WordPress Hosting Options
I have set some basic ground rules in terms of computer code, cPanel, security, WordPress optimization, PHP version, MySQL version then on. However, before I share my list of the highest WordPress hosts, let's check up on the official needs required to run WordPress's computer code swimmingly in any hosting atmosphere.
One major issue to think about is technical support. WordPress may be a memory hungry website, and it needs a info and PHP. Common errors like the "500 Internal Error", a blank homepage, or all posts being deleted a number of the problems that you'll face with a poor hosting service.
Along with these factors, I additionally thought-about what the varied hosting corporations ar providing in their packages. as an example, is it enough for you to host a medium server website or does one need a high traffic site? Do they need a limit in terms of information measure, and may they handle occasional traffic spikes?
Next, geographical location is incredibly necessary for any server recently for 2 reasons: speed and latency. Server location will have a positive or negative impact on website load time. If you wish to form a blog with an excellent user-experience (which you should), you wish to tack CDN on your WordPress blog.
Best WordPress Hosting for Bloggers
Rather than sharing a protracted list of the highest ten or a hundred WordPress hosting services, this post can discuss solely those web-hosting corporations that i exploit for my very own blogs, as these ar services that i do know that you simply can purchase with full confidence.
I will additionally attempt to share hosting discount coupons whenever out there, as this may assist you to save lots of some cash.
All of the shared WP hosting services mentioned below value but $8/month, and with discount coupons you'll be able to expect discounts of between twenty fifth to forty fifth on the overall value.
So let's start hosting corporations for WordPress blogs!
Bluehost is my prime alternative for shared hosting, and that I presently have several sites hosted on their server.
I 1st learned regarding Bluehost from a politician WordPress hosting recommendation page, and once attempting their service I found that they provide a wonderful price for the cash.
They are not the most affordable hosting service however their arrange presently prices solely $3.95/month for the primary year, and with unlimited information measure and storage, this arrange provides excellent price for the cash.
Bluehost additionally permits the client to put in multiple WordPress blogs on identical hosting package.
Another nice feature of Bluehost is that the undeniable fact that their servers ar well-optimised for running WordPress blogs and therefore they permit you to put in WordPress at intervals 4-5 minutes.
I have already shared a guide with you which of them can assist you to put in a WordPress blog on your Bluehost account, and you'll be able to browse the whole guide here.

How a market crashes
How can the market go, on a random Thursday afternoon, completely insane? The story which is emerging centers on old, boring Procter & Gamble, as can be seen in the PG chart from this afternoon.
Look at the volume chart: what you see here is a big block of shares trading in P&G at around 2:30, followed by another huge block right before the market crashed. And then, nothing. The two big blocks were probably sell orders, which were big enough to blow through all the bids in the market. As Henry Blodget says, "for a few minutes, buyers just disappeared".
It's worth noting here that none of this data is particularly reliable: the Nasdaq is reportedly confirming that there were technical problems with the P&G quote, and there are persistent rumors of a "fat finger" trade as well, which I'm not sure that I believe.
If the market were rational, it could cope without difficulty with such things. There's no bid on P&G right now? Fine, wait five minutes and see if you can get a bid then. But there were stop-loss orders on P&G, which meant forced selling into a no-bid market, and if these trades really happened, then a couple of people who are surely going to celebrate tonight were in the right place at the right time and bought up a small amount of the stock in the high 40s.
In any case, whether the trades actually happened or not, they were reported to the exchanges, and were immediately reflected in the Dow, which remember is an average and not an index. If P&G is off 14 points, and the Dow's divisor is 0.132319125, then that one trade in itself wipes 100 points off the Dow in a matter of seconds.
The timing of that 100-point fall could not have been worse: stocks had started selling off about five minutes earlier, and so the 100-point drop came into a market which was already getting jittery and panicked. The velocity and severity of that drop in the Dow immediately triggered stop-loss selling in the market more generally, which then started feeding on itself: even as P&G's share price was recovering, bids were falling away rapidly in the other 29 Dow components, and at one point the Dow was down just a hair short of 1,000 points on the day.
But the fact is that none of these numbers are all that meaningful: what we were seeing was traders flailing around in a context of limited information and liquidity, trying to get a grip on what was or wasn't going on. There was always the possibility, after all, that the sellers knew something they didn't, and that stocks were actually falling for a reason. So it took a few minutes for the market to realize that it was all just market volatility — and therefore a great buying opportunity for any trader.
It's been a very impressive day to learn how the stock-market sausage is made: I think we just saw the largest intraday fall, in point terms, that has ever happened. But the bigger lesson is that in the short term, any market can fail temporarily. The question is whether the jitters from this afternoon are going to mean increased volatility and risk aversion going forwards. My feeling is that, yes, they both will and should.
