Quinn Speaks to Barnard College Students about Personal Struggles
City Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Christine Quinn spoke candidly about her personal struggles with alcohol and bulimia, and answered earnest questions from about three dozen young college women seated in a small, intimate room at Barnard College Tuesday.
Quinn spoke of caring for her mother who was dying of cancer and of secretly believing the illness was her fault. She explained that using alcohol was, "a way to kind of get a sense of relief from all the chaos...that was going on." Quinn said today she considers herself a recovering alcoholic but would not say whether she attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
The front runner for mayor was met with skeptical questions from the press who wanted to know why she waited until now to reveal these personal struggles instead of coming out with them sooner. "I hear that," Quinn said. "And to some degree I wish I had been ready sooner."
Her personal memoir is scheduled to come out next month.

The deputy prime minister is to open up a new front in his disagreements with the education secretary, Michael Gove, criticising the recent decision by the Tories to heap responsibility for children's development on to teachers.
Nick Clegg's aides believe the Conservatives have placed too much emphasis on teachers as arbiters of authority over children in the wake of last month's riots.
Gove is planning to fast-track former soldiers into school to provide children with more male role models.
In a speech to teachers and pupils, Clegg will say: "We already expect our teachers to be social workers, child psychologists, nutritionists, child protection officers. We expect them to police the classroom, take care of our children's health, counsel our sons and daughters, guide them, worry about them – and on top of that, educate them too.
"Teachers are not surrogate mothers and fathers. They cannot do it all."
Clegg's comments come as his party claimed to have reined in Gove's desire to allow his free schools programme to become profit-making, and that any new wave of free schools had to be in deprived areas. In response to this Lib Dem assertion, Gove refused to rule out profit-making schools as a possibility in the future.
Suggesting Clegg's claim had more to do with positioning himself before his party conference meeting with his activist base than the real state of debate inside the government on free schools, a Gove source went on to rule out the idea that the next wave of free schools would be solely located in deprived areas. The source said the government would not rewrite the rules governing the location of free schools for Clegg and pointed out that half of those approved already were in the most deprived 30% of areas. Analysis conducted by the Guardian suggests this is not true.
Clegg will talk about the experience of raising his own children. He will urge parents to take a more active role in supporting their children's education and warn that he believes teachers cannot "do it all".
Giving children a proper breakfast, reading to them and ensuring the TV is switched off when it is time to do their homework must be the responsibility of families, Clegg says.
Clegg, who shares the school run and other childcare duties equally with his wife, says that schools do not expect parents to cut down on their working hours.
Instead, he will say: "They just want mothers and fathers to get into simple, commonsense, inexpensive routines."
These include an extra 15 minutes of reading at home and making sure children go to bed on time.
Ruling out allowing free schools to be run for a profit, Clegg will say: "To anyone who is worried that, by expanding the mix of providers in our education system, we are inching towards inserting the profit motive into our school system, again, let me reassure you: yes to greater diversity; yes to more choice for parents. But no to running schools for profit, not in our state-funded education sector."
However, the Conservatives are declining to rule this out in future.
On Sunday, Gove told the Andrew Marr programme on BBC1: "I'm a pragmatist, not an ideologue. We don't need to have profit-making organisations involved at the moment."
Gove pointed out that the Conservative election manifesto said profit-making schools were not necessary "at the moment".
Allowing profit-making companies to get involved is one way to fund the building of schools without squeezing the Department for Education's budget. Gove has already announced plans to build schools under private finance initiatives, which costs taxpayers more in the long term.
Clegg is calling for all of the next wave of free schools to be in poorer neighbourhoods or areas in desperate need of extra classroom places.
The first wave of 24 free schools is tilted towards middle-class neighbourhoods, according to analysis carried out for the Guardian.
The analysis shows the 10-minute commuting areas around free school locations have 57% of better-off, educated and professional households compared with the English average of 42.8%.
The government published its own analysis on Sunday which showed that the majority of the first crop of schools were located outside the most deprived neighbourhoods of the country. Just three schools – Nishkam free school, Rainbow primary school and Ark Atwood primary academy – are in the most deprived 10% of areas of England. Nine out of 24 are in the most deprived 20% of areas.
The next wave of free schools, due to open next year, is expected to include more projects targeting the poorest parts of the country.
A source close to Gove said: "[Profit-making] has been at the back of people's minds but Cameron gave Clegg a veto and he's exercised it. However on the idea that Clegg is insisting that the next wave of free schools have to be in areas of need, that is already the case. The process is set up already for the next wave and we're not going to start it all over again and actually it will be the case that many of the next free schools are in areas of deprivation anyway."
Fifteen of the first 24 schools are oversubscribed, including the west London free school, where Toby Young is chair of governors. The school received more than 500 applications for 120 places.
Another nine, including the Bristol free school, are either full or still trying to fill "the last few remaining places", according to the Department for Education.

7 Ways to Earn Money from Home
Whether you are looking to augment your income or find ways to make money, there are a number of ways that you can earn money from home.
Working from home offers you the opportunity to become your own boss, without the company bureaucracy and the boss breathing down your neck. If you have been laid off from your job and find it difficult to get another job, working from home also allows you the chance to earn money for yourself and your family. Plus, in some cases, you may even be able to work in your pajamas!
However, it is important to understand that many of these income-generating opportunities are not get-rich-quick scheme. Avoid those business opportunity programs that promises that you'll earn 5-figures in one month!
To earn money, you will need to produce a product or service that people will actually want. For jobs that you can do from home, the companies may require that you submit to a background check or test before you can be hired. Your income potential depends on how well you present yourself to your client, your skills and talents — and most of all, your willingness to work hard.
Here are some ways that you can earn money from home:

Earning money from home is far more attractive now than ever before. Long commutes and unhappy work situations have convinced many of us that there is no future working for a boss in a traditional job.

I've worked at home for a few good companies for the past few years. Some of them paid directly through Paypal daily. There are some good companies out there. US Home Work Force has a decent program. They only take a few applicants every month. You can try calling them to find out more information (248) 987-8445. Be prepared to really work though. It's just like a regular job. Your work ethic will ultimately determine your success.GD Star Rating

The good thing about working from is the fact that you are your own boss. What can be difficult is blocking off distractions. Working from home still requires the same discipline and management as if you were working in a corporate setting for it to be successful.GD Star Rating

Starting a home business has many advantages and many things to consider. You are right when you say it is not a "get rich quick" scheme. Building a home business requires training and learning. In fact if a person plans to truly build a business they need to start with a vision and a plan to make it happen.

As a full time employee you have a particular mindset. As an entrepreneur you have a very different mindset from a full time employee. Neither one is right or wrong, its just a choice an individual makes. However as entrepreneur one takes on more risk to follow their own dreams. It also requires some courage and a few skills to learn that can be taught along the way. Don't feel victim being an employee for life when there are opportunities available without taking excessive risk that will allow to create a passive income!GD Star Rating

With development fast and furious around cloud ecosystems and certain application programming interfaces (APIs), worry about lock-in has mounted. Now, the Google-backed startup CliQr has launched CloudCenter, which it says allows cloud applications to be moved easily between providers.
Tenry Fu, co-founder and CTO of CliQr Technologies, said CloudCenter, a cloud app management platform-as-a-service (PaaS), "abstracts away application dependencies from cloud-specific APIs and images, delivering true and fluid portability between clouds without any additional migration effort."
"We recognized early on that cloud computing could never be fully exploited as long as getting to the cloud continued to be a infrastructure-centric, professional services-heavy process," Fu said in the company's press release on Tuesday. "We designed CloudCenter to be an extremely approachable platform that looks at the task of cloud computing from an application's perspective, simplifying on-boarding without modification and image management, optimizing performance and providing end-to-end cloud security for any business application on any one or combination of private, public or hybrid clouds."
The president of OpenStack co-founder Rackspace, Lew Moorman, seems most worried about lock-in. He wrote on Cloudline yesterday in his post, "Is There Any Choice in the Cloud?":
Today, several cloud companies are working to clone Amazon's cloud. They are trying hard, but they cover only a fraction of Amazon's services and its advanced features. And they don't scale. So they fail…. They're not clones and they don't scale the same way. This is not because they have built bad technology; it is because they have built different technology.
You might ask: Who cares? So long as Amazon and other proprietary cloud vendors are adding features and cutting prices, what does it matter that customers get locked in? Many startups may not care. But the ones that intend to scale, as well as mature enterprises, will care a great deal. They are asking: What if you need to expand your business into a country or region that your proprietary cloud provider doesn't serve? What if some feature is critical to advance your service, but is a low priority for your cloud provider? What if your provider gives poor support? What if you could get huge savings from customizing some piece of the architecture?
… The good news is that this alternative now exists. It's called OpenStack — the open-source project launched two years ago by Rackspace and NASA. OpenStack now has more than 180 companies participating in its development, including Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, and Red Hat.
On Thursday, Google is set to re-introduce its public cloud at I/O, Wired Enterprise's Cade Metz reported on Monday in his post, "Google Preps Cloud for New War on Microsoft, Amazon." Google backing CliQr is a sort of insurance policy given that Amazon is far outfront in the race to grab customers. Google could sell its public cloud, saying, "If you have invested in Amazon APIs dev etc., no worries. We offer this with our public cloud. Bring your apps. We have you covered."
Have your say: Is CliQr's abstraction design the way forward, or is Rackspace's Moorman right and open source is the best path? Will Google's insurance policy — backing CliQr via Google Ventures — pay out?
See CliQr's promo video for CloudCenter, which is now available:

Chapter 1 : Lily
|Rating: 12+
|Chapter Reviews: 89
Background: Font color:
Enduring Devotion
There is a prophecy. I am not supposed to know about it for fear that I will make irrational choices. You see, its a prophecy about my son. Well, it is assumed to be about my son and therein lies the irony. The prophecy could very well refer to another child and yet I am locked away in my house like a helpless animal that needs protecting. James is protecting me and Harry in the only way he knows how. I understand that but I have to wonder what good is safety without freedom? What kind of life will Harry live if his entire world is clouded by fear of the unknown?
Lily Evans Potter glanced over the words she'd written. She scanned them guiltily knowing how selfish she must sound. With a twitch of her wand the page burst into flames and disintegrated. She sat in the rocking chair seemingly mesmerized by the pile of ashes the letter had left behind. She rocked rhythmically, the quietest squeak emanating from the chair legs as she moved.
Her eyes turned to the windowpane where a late October cold spell had caused a dreary fog to obscure the view. Just as she was considering opening the window for some fresh air, she heard a low howl signal the wind was picking up outdoors.
It figures, she murmured gloomily.
What figures?
Lily jumped and whirled in the chair to see who had so casually interrupted her. I should have known it was you, Sirius. You never have been able to allow a girl her privacy.
Sirius leaned against the doorframe, burying his hands deep in his pockets. Not when youre trying so hard to depress yourself.
I am not depressed.
Melancholy then? Sirius stepped into the room and began wandering around. Rather unnatural in here when Harrys away. Where is my godson anyway? Sirius fingered the silver stars floating above Harrys crib, causing them to glitter brilliantly in the growing darkness.
James took him somewhere to give me some time alone.
Just what you need I imagine.
Whats that?
Sirius sent her a penetrating gaze. More time alone.
Lily shivered in the darkness. It was as if Sirius had read her mind, but she knew that was impossible. Lily shook it off. It was probably only the experience of his own wretched home-life that gave him such insight.
Am I stuck with you tonight, then? she asked finally.
Until I can steal Harry and take him to a bar in Hogsmeade. Sirius nodded. He does wonders for my image with the ladies.
I dont see James agreeing to that.
Who said I intend to ask? Sirius grinned.
You are never going to grow up, are you?
Not if I have a choice.
Well, if Im stuck with you then lets go downstairs and fix some tea. If I can remember how to entertain company that is.
The words were out of her mouth before she realized it and Lily fought for composure. Everyone, including Sirius, was risking so much for her and Harrys safety. Why on earth did she feel so bitter? Lily watched Sirius patiently; arming herself for the smart remark she knew was coming. But Sirius was watching her placidly, his face as unreadable as ever.
So, how about that tea? He asked simply and led her down to the kitchen.
Afraid she might say something else inappropriate; Lily fixed the tea in silence. She sank down opposite him at the table and watched as he pulled a flask from his jacket and poured an amber colored liquid into his cup. Lily blocked his hand as he moved to pour some in hers.
You are much too young to be so responsible, Lily. Besides, Sirius voices softened, you sound like you could use it.
Lily hesitated only for a moment then moved her hand away so Sirius could pour some in her cup.
About earlier, Lily began but Sirius waved her off.
Its me, Lily. I think weve known each other long enough that explanations are not necessary. Anyway, Sirius leaned back in his chair and grinned, I never have put much stock in the things you say.
How wonderfully reassuring.
And she smiles.
Lily tried to wipe the grin off her face but the laughter in Sirius eyes was too infectious. Her smile turned into a soft laugh that warmed her from the inside out.
How do you do it, Sirius? How do you keep us all laughing?
Its a gift.
Come on.
I have my dark moments, Lily. I just prefer not to waste my time amongst friends with the darkness that lies ahead. Sirius shrugged. And I refuse to take responsibility as seriously as James does. After all, what happens happens. The future cant be changed.
No, Lily answered after a long pause. I suppose it cant.
In the safety of Sirius presence, Lily allowed her mind to drift to the misery she had been witness to. There was Voldemorts rise to power. The deaths the oh, so many tragic deaths. The destructive acts wizards were committing not only to others but to themselves. It was a world where darkness had replaced sunshine and love was traded for power. It was something that she refused to envision in James company. Lily hated to admit it, but she knew her thoughts were those of a scared little girl who was seeing her life-long dream of happiness be unceremoniously snatched away.
It was her burden and she refused to place it on James. Didnt he have enough on his shoulders already? With sudden comprehension, she turned her gaze on Sirius and her eyes narrowed.
James asked you to come check on me while he was out.
Is that a question?
Not hardly. Lilys eyes flashed. Was he afraid Id run away and have some fun?
He just wants you to be happy, Lily, and safe. You and Harry both.
And here I though your visit a mere social call. Coming to see your godson. Lily huffed.
Never doubt my loyalty to Harry, Sirius growled and Lily immediately felt guilty.
I didnt mean it that way, Sirius. I know you love Harry as if he was your own. Youd do anything to protect him. Lily whispered. I just want her voice fell quiet.
What, Lily? What is it you want?
Lily hesitated for only a moment. I want to walk under the stars. I want James to be here with me instead of out fighting some battle and leaving me to wonder if he will ever return. I want Harry to lead a normal life, without having to worry that he or his friends might lose their lives for the mere sake of their blood heritage. I want to breathe fresh air and feel raindrops on my skin no matter how cold they might be. Lily sighed. I want to go back before all this ever happened.
All of it?
No. You know what I mean. Before Voldemort turned our world into where hiding is the only way to survive.
Youre not hiding.
Im not exactly living life to its fullest either.
Lily watched as Sirius sat silently sipping his tea. Mulling over what a terrible bitter person she had become, Lily imagined. Why had she allowed herself to expose her deepest emotions to Sirius, her husbands best friend? Knowing Sirius, he would run to James, tell him about their conversation, and Lily would never see daylight again because James would think shed try and face Voldemort herself.
Dont get me wrong, Sirius. I love James and understand what hes trying to do here. The last thing I want is anything to happen to Harry or me. But, at the same time, I dont want anything to happen to James either. Why is it alright for him to be out trying to save the world and I cant even walk down the street? Were all in danger but no one else has been caged in like me.
Caged? Sirius eyes lifted to meet hers. You have friends, the love of a wonderful man, and the most astounding baby Ive ever seen. If you think thats a cage you should have tried living at Grimmauld Place.
Even though his voice was calm, Lily could sense Sirius fury. She moved to his side and placed her hand on his arm. Sirius, I can only imagine what youve lived through and I dont mean to make light of it at all. But you, if anyone, should understand where Im coming from.
I never said I didnt. Sirius said softly.
Miss me? James strong voice broke in between the two as he appeared in the doorway. His light hearted tone immediately darkened when he saw the two. Has something happened? Sirius, Lily, whats wrong?
Were fine, James. Welcome home. Wheres Harry? Lily wrapped him in a warm hug to reassure him and kissed him softly. No bad guys around here tonight.
Except me. Sirius grinned.
Harrys up in his room asleep. So, whats going on? James sank down at the table, pouring himself a cup of tea.
Lily glanced to Sirius, expecting him to draw James into their conversation. Oddly, though, he had a mischievous smile across his face.
Trying to make a date with your wife.
Pardon? James glanced from one to the other in amusement.
I had planned to take Harry out this evening but is seems you beat me to it. So, I thought me and Lily would hit the town.
Sirius, now isnt the time.
And exactly when is the time, James? Sirius shrugged. Youve forgotten how to be adventurous in your fatherhood. Lily and I will promise to stay out of trouble. Unless, of course, you dont trust me to keep her safe.
Lily held her breath. Sirius didnt think she was crazy. He didnt think she was over-reacting or self-pitying. He was trying to help her find a bit of freedom, if only for a night. And, of course, only Sirius would know the exact thing to say to deny James any chance to object.
Of course I trust you Sirius. With my life, you know that. James said quietly.
You and Lily could go out and I could watch little Harry but it seems neither of you want to leave him without parental supervision. Sirius quipped. Poor boys never gonna catch a break, is he? Always going to have someone watching over his shoulder. Sirius finished off his tea. All settled then, he said when James didnt respond, Im going to say goodnight to Harry and then steal your wife.
James nodded and watched as the Sirius disappeared, then turned to Lily. Is that how you feel, Lily? He asked softly. Like you always have someone watching over your shoulder?
Lily smiled. You and Sirius know each other way too well. You two can manage to have a conversation with each other and someone in the same room will never know you talked about anything.
Is it? James pulled her into his arms. I love you, Lily. I dont want to lose you. I dont want you to feel suffocated either. Its a fine line that, apparently, Im not walking too well.
Its alright. Lily kissed him lovingly, her arms wrapping tighter in his safe embrace. I understand.
I watched Sirius being strangled by the world his parents created for him. I never intended to do the same thing. James shook his head, his words coming in broken spurts. I never realized how easy it would be to slip into over-protecting you and Harry. Im sorry for that. James took a deep steadying breath. You two have a wonderful time and Ill see you in a few hours.
Lily kissed him tenderly, her thanks poured into the soft connection of their kiss as only lovers could do.
All set? Sirius handed Lily her cloak as he re-entered the room. Death Eater central, here we come.
You always know how to reassure a man, Sirius. James attempt to veil his concern was obvious to all and Sirius clasped his shoulder roughly.
Well be fine, James. Sirius gave him a gentle smile. I havent let you down yet and I certainly wont tonight.
James nodded and Lily could feel his eyes watching them as they left the house and closed the door behind them.
Thank you. Lily whispered as they walked down the street, the wind beginning to stir around them once again. She stopped mid-stride to breathe in the air she had so desperately wanted to have and let her hair fall loose to let the wind blow through it. It was if she had received a gift she never thought would be possible until Voldemort had been vanquished. She let herself relish the moment, praying the rain would hold off long enough for her to savor her stolen moments of freedom. So, where are we really going?
Im just along for the ride. Sirius dug his hands deeper in his pockets, his eyes sweeping over their surroundings for hidden dangers with practiced ease. Where would you like me to take you, Mrs. Potter?
The smell of late fall wild roses hung in the wind as she inhaled deeply, trying to lock the magnificent scent in her mind. The clouds prevented her from seeing the flowers, but her mind could imagine the blooms, hanging droopily in the chilly air, their branches swaying with each wind current, its petals kissed lightly by the nights earlier rain. Can we just walk for awhile? Lily answered finally, her mind still reeling in the feel of the world around her.
Godrics Hollow is rather quiet tonight. Lily murmured, slipping her arm through Sirius as he slowed his pace to match hers.
Eerily so. Sirius answered, loosening the clenched fist in his pocket so Lily wouldnt notice the tension in his arm as she held it.
Dont be dramatic. Lily grinned. It doesnt suit you and youre ruining the evening.
Forgive me.
You seem miles away, Sirius. What is it? Lily squeezed his arm. If you think were in danger, you can take me back.
No, nothing as exciting as that, Im afraid. Sirius laughed softly to reassure her. I was just remembering the day I ran off from Grimmauld and ended up on James doorstep. You have the same look on your face right now that I imagine I did back then.
What freedom?
No. Sirius grew solemn. Escaping only to know you have to return sooner or later and face the truth.
Lily looked away, unwilling to let Sirius see how his honesty had affected her. How did he always know and why did he always have to call her on it?
And what is the truth of the situation, Sirius? Lily asked glibly.
That each one of us has to be prepared to give our life or well never succeed at defeating him.
Im prepared for that.
Are you? Sirius challenged.
What does that mean? Lily pulled away from and faced him squarely. You think Im a coward, do you?
You? Never. Sirius laughed, which infuriated her even more. Before she could begin her tirade, though, Sirius had pulled her arm back into his and held it tightly as they walked. Being killed is easy you dont really have to do much to accomplish that. Im only trying to say that facing death takes a lot more work.
Lily let his words sink in as she tried to contemplate their meaning. They tugged at something deep inside her but, no matter how she tried, Lily could not decipher it. Her anger had subsided though and she walked beside him, suddenly realizing that Sirius was now walking with purpose and direction. She let him lead her without question, knowing that Sirius, like all the Marauders, would keep her safe.
As they walked, the darkness grew more ominous and the wind began to howl. The scent of flowers she had clung to had long since faded and was now replaced with the stench of burned wood and rotting food. Whether it was simply her imagination, Lily couldnt tell.
Drifts of gray ash brushed against their cloaks and Lilys pace slowed. Sirius, where are we? her voice was a whisper, as if speaking any louder was disturb some unforeseen enemy that might be lurking nearby.
No need to be frightened. Sirius assured her. Voldemort has already been here and gone. This is the world he and his followers left behind. Sirius grimaced. What little they left, I should say.
Sirius stepped through the rubble of burned houses carefully, unwilling to disturb whatever remnants happened to be left. He steered her away from the smoldering wood of what had once appeared to be a childs playpen. Light ash clung to his cloak as he bent to move a wooden plank out of their path.
Sirius, Lilys voice broke as she objected to the course on which he was taking her but Sirius was not to be dissuaded.
Come, Lily. Sirius took her hand tightly in his and led her further into the ruins. They passed simple things that had once showed life existed here tea cups, broken china, childrens toys, and scorched portraits that had once held memories of happy times but now lay forgotten in the midst of tragedy. Lilys strength faltered as she continued to walk and was glad when Sirius stopped and sank down on the ground. Ignoring the dampness, Lily dropped down beside him, the weight of the things shed seen weighing heavily on her soul.
It took Voldemort mere hours to do this. Sirius explained. Several nights ago. It seems he was in search of a child.
Harry. Lilys voice caught. He did all of this? Lily glanced around. Where is everyone? Were they all killed? The parents? The children?
All but one. Sirius nodded as a dark figure approached the nearby ruins of what once had been a magnificent home. She comes here every night.
How do you know? Lily glanced to Sirius who, for the briefest moment, allowed his emotions to be exposed and Lily understood. The heart wrenching look in his eyes told her more than words ever could.
Oh, Sirius. Lily moved to sit closer to him. Why do you do this? Come here?
Its my job. The Order wants to make sure shes safe. This is where she comes. He answered simply.
But why does she come back?
She sings her child a lullaby. Sirius nodded to where the woman stood in the darkness, her soft humming filtering across the rubble. He was killed by Voldemort, of course.
Why you? Why must it be you who has to go through this? Every night? Lilys voice was soft, not wanting to talk over the heart breaking sobs coming from the mother as she finished the lullaby to the child she had lost forever.
This isnt my assignment. Its James.
We showed up immediately after the battle to see what we could do. Shes a member of the Order and James was assigned to watch over her considering her current state of mind. It just all hit a little too close for home for James. I offered to handle it for him so Ive been here every night.
But what about you?
I couldnt rightly let James go through this every night, now could I? Sirius shrugged her off. And then have him go home to a wife and son that he tries to protect with each breath he takes? No, Lily. Thats not really something I would do to James.
Have you talked to her? Lily asked as she watched the mother fade into the shadows, her sobs still echoing through the night.
Would you want someone to bother you if you were in her shoes?
No. I suppose not. Lily murmured and stood up to go to where the woman had been singing. Sirius let her go alone and she wondered briefly if it was for her peace of mind or because he didnt want to get any closer.
Somehow, when she got the spot, she had expected something more monumental than what she found. The remains of what she assumed to be a crib with a scorched and tattered teddy bear where the only items to prove a childs room had ever existed. Lily kneeled to touch the teddy bear; the dampness and coldness of the bear making her jerk her hand back. Silly, Lily though silently. Of course it would be cold and wet, its been sitting out in the rain for days. She reached her hand out again, her mind remembering the warmth of little Harrys body with each touch they had shared. His soft green eyes, so like her own, and how they would look at her in wonder and glee when she picked him up into her arms. Was it possible there would be a time for her like this? A time when she could no longer comfort Harrys sadness, enjoy his giggling laughter or ease his fears of the unknown that each day brought to an infant?
Lilys heart wrenched. Of course, it could happen. The only thing that made her different from this family was the safety James and the other Marauders offered her. They were her sanctuary from Voldemorts terror. But she knew she couldnt always count on that. What if Voldemort found their hideout and came into their home? What if the Marauders werent there to protect them? Her death she was prepared for but Harry? His life had just started. What if Sirius was right and she wasnt ready to face whatever this mother had faced?
Lilys eyes lifted to look at Sirius. He had befriended her long before the other Marauders. He had a way of accepting almost everyone with an ease she had long admired. Even when she and James were arguing children, Sirius wouldnt let her walk away. She knew Sirius life had prepared him for death. He had never feared it and, as a teenager, she often had wondered if he welcomed it. He was the serene Marauder. He refused to be ruffled by even the biggest controversy, preferring instead to take them as they came. He would argue for his beliefs and fight those who opposed them but yet, he was the most loyal of them all. He was willing to go through any torture to protect them all and for that, Lily felt blessed to call him her friend. His willingness to sacrifice his own emotional sanctity so that James didnt have to face this particular scene each night made Lilys heart break. What else had he so willing endured to the sake of all of them?
And James. Her loving amazing James. What did he bear witness to each day before coming home to her and Harry that he didnt share? Why had he fought so hard to control his emotions so she didnt understand what he survived each day? Maybe if shed known, if hed told her, she wouldnt have been so eager to go out into the world.
But Lily knew better. Even as her tears started to fall, she knew she would have reacted the same way. Only this, seeing the love this mother had for her child in even death, could have made her face the reality of the world in which they were now living. She knew her sobs were loud enough for Sirius to hear and, as she fought to quiet them, she looked his way. His head was dropped between his knees and, even in the distance, Lily could see the shaking he was trying to subdue.
Overcome, Lily rushed to his sit before him. Sirius acknowledged her presence but remained silent. His face was once again unreadable, not allowing any sign of his hurt, or fear or whatever emotion his must be feeling to be revealed. His unwillingness to connect with her made Lilys tears fall in torrents.
Reaching down, Sirius wiped away her tears then pulled her to lean into his chest. I hope you understand why I brought you here. I wasnt trying to be cruel. There are some things you just have to learn for yourself, Lily.
Lily nodded. Sirius wasnt being cruel, she knew that. Hed done the only thing he knew how to do show her the truth.
We should be getting back.
Lily nodded and let Sirius support her as they began the walk back. She knew how to face Voldemort now. She knew what was necessary to face death and overcome it. Somehow, she would teach James and Harry the same thing. Lilys pace quickened. She just hoped there was still time.
Hush my love now don't you cry, everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream, rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope I showed you, just give love to all
In my arms tight, every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world, well rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that you showed me
Just give love to all

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Classes began on Thursday, January 10 in Travis-Lovitt Hall, Multnomah's new
seminary building. A dedication ceremony was held Sunday, January 27 with the
keynote speaker and alumnus, Dr. Luis Palau speaking on God's Provision for
Ministry, Now and in the Future. Located on the corner of Northeast 87th Ave.
and Glisan Streets. "We are in desperate need of more classroom and office space,"
said Dr. Don Brake, dean of the seminary. "We are simply growing so fast that
it is a job just keeping up."
A donor gave Multnomah more than $1 million dollars in an effort to complete
the building's fund-raising effort. This donation had greatly advanced the timetable
for the construction. When asked about their gift, the anonymous donor said,
"We believe that Multnomah is the place that the future generation of Christian
leaders will come from. Multnomah not only sends graduates out with the ability
to learn, think, study, and teach the Bible…but they raise servant-leaders who
will change society for the better."

Sorry to be slow in answering you. I've been out of pocket for a few days.
Washington Church is located just northwest of Wausau. The old church is still there and the cemetery is just across the road. If you are familiar with Hardlabor Bridge, it is in that vicinity.

is it on hwy 77 or pioneer rd?
- April 9, 2009 at 7:38 PM
- Dale said...
You travel north from Wausau on 77 and turn left on Owens Pond Road. Just keep going straight until you see the cemetery on your right and the church on your left. The church is maybe 100 yards (if that) west of Mitchell Road. To reach the wooden bridge near the skirmish site, just continue west from the church to Mitchell Road and turn right. It is at the bottom of the hill.

Evaluation of methods for cultivating limbal mesenchymal stromal cells
Bray, Laura J., Heazlewood, Celena F., Atkinson, Kerry, Hutmacher, Dietmar W., & Harkin, Damien G. (2012) Evaluation of methods for cultivating limbal mesenchymal stromal cells. Cytotherapy, 14(8), pp. 936-947.
Accepted Version
Background: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) with similar properties to bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSC) have recently been grown from the limbus of the human cornea. We presently contribute to this novel area of research by evaluating methods for culturing human limbal MSC (L-MSC). Methods: Four basic strategies are compared: serum-supplemented medium (10% foetal bovine serum; FBS), standard serum-free medium supplemented with B-27, epidermal growth factor, and fibroblast growth factor 2, or one of two commercial serum-free media including Defined Keratinocyte Serum Free Medium (Invitrogen), and MesenCult-XF (Stem Cell Technologies). The phenotype of resulting cultures was examined using photography, flow cytometry (for CD34, CD45, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD141, CD271), immunocytochemistry (α-sma), differentiation assays (osteogenesis, adipogenesis, chrondrogenesis), and co-culture experiments with human limbal epithelial (HLE) cells. Results: While all techniques supported to varying degrees establishment of cultures, sustained growth and serial propagation was only achieved in 10% FBS medium or MesenCult-XF medium. Cultures established in 10% FBS medium were 70-80% CD34-/CD45-/CD90+/CD73+/CD105+, approximately 25% α-sma+, and displayed multi-potency. Cultures established in MesenCult-XF were >95% CD34-/CD45-/CD90+/CD73+/CD105+, 40% CD141+, rarely expressed α-sma, and displayed multi-potency. L-MSC supported growth of HLE cells, with the largest epithelial islands being observed in the presence of MesenCult-XF-grown L-MSC. All HLE cultures supported by L-MSC widely expressed the progenitor cell marker ∆Np63, along with the corneal differentiation marker cytokeratin 3. Conclusions: We conclude that MesenCult-XF® is a superior culture system for L-MSC, but further studies are required to explore the significance of CD141 expression in these cells.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
What are the steps that Google sequences and how long does each take?
We have a couple of 3 year old sites that has been tidied up with regards to dupe content issues, over 7-8 weeks ago. The re indexing of one of the sites is very slow, with perhaps only 20% visible on the site:tool, despite some good deep linking.
About 3 days ago we noticed results in the SERPS on very weak and unique keywords returning to top positions for those pages. At the same time no recognition of KW's in the meta titles, internal or inbound links seems to have occurred yet.
What can we expect to see in the future and how long will it take?
I used to have a high ranking(PR8) site built in 1997 that placed extremely well(good content, organized topic) until it received dupe content penalties(was unknowingly 302 redirecting all subdomains to www domain). The penalties started at the beginning of 2004. I remedied all problems on the site by the end of 2004 and the site still has not recovered.
I've since moved on, but the lesson learned is invaluable.
Are all your pages crawled and cached?
Variable - Ouch!
Are you sure you fixed all the dupe issues?
Meta title
Meta descriptions
"/" and redirect "index.htm" etc etc
I can't believe a site can sit in permanent suspense. There must be more things outstanding.
If you've fixed everything maybe you could send a re inclusion request.
[edited by: Whitey at 10:08 pm (utc) on Oct. 17, 2006]
oddsod re crawl rates - Google released a crawl rate control over at Webmastercentral [googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com...] in the last 24 hours - I'm not sure if this is going to improve caching those indexed pages - I guess we'll have to wait and see.
[edited by: Whitey at 5:51 am (utc) on Oct. 18, 2006]
We still have major problems getting pages cached below level 2 [ of 4 levels ] , despite good site maps and quality inbound deep links [ .edu ]. I've increased the crawl rate to fast - not sure if that will help.
Results that show No1 on Yahoo , and were previously top 1-5 on Google, are still languishing on page 3-4. I wonder when and if they will return.
Should we play a waiting game for a week or so and see what happens?

Multiple of any number is a number which can be divided exactly by that number.
Example: Number 33 can be divided by 3 without any remainder. So 33 is a multiple of 3 (3 * 11 = 33).
The Multiples of a number are formed by multiplyng it with other numbers like 1,2,3,etc.
A number can have unlimited multiples.
Example: 10,15,20,25,30, ... are multiples of 5.
Each number is a multiple of itself.
Every number is a multiple of 1.
Zero is a multiple of every number.
First multiple of every number is the number itself. So a multiple of a number cannot be less than the number.
Multiples of any number are infinite
Multiply the given number by 1,2,3, etc. The products are multiple of the given number.
Multiple of 3 are 3 (=3 * 1), 6 (=3 * 2), 9(=3*3), 12(=3*4), etc
If two numbers are multiplied then the product is a common multiple of those two numbers.
Example: If two numbers 3 and 8 are multiplied then the result 24 is a common multiple of 3 and 8.

We've talked before about adding info to properties in documents and media files. In case you missed it, head over to the tip on our web site… Want Detailed File Info? Put it in the Properties
Well, did you know that in Windows, you make any of this info available as columns in Detail view? No? Then check this one out.
I stumbled across this after I created a folder full of MP3 files. All that showed was the file name, but I wanted to view other information as well.
As a rule, when all else fails, I right click something. So, I right-clicked the column header and sure enough, there was a list of columns that I could add to the folder details.
For music files, I selected Name, Artists, Bit Rate, Length and Size. For document files, you might want Author and Comments. You might also decide you don't need some of the other choices Windows has made for you – just uncheck them.
If the choices you're looking for aren't shown in the right click context menu, you can click More… at the bottom, and select from a much, much longer list.
Next you can re-order where the columns are. you should keep the Name column first, since this is where you click to open the file. Left-click the column, hold down the left mouse key and drag to where you want it. Now that you have it set up, you can sort the columns any way you want with a simple click on the column headers.
If nothing shows up in these new columns, it's because you don't have any info in those fields. Again, check out the tip about Properties or use your media player to "Tag" your MP3s.
I hope this makes your files easier to manage.

(purchase fresh from Asian market)
12 scallions (shallots/spring onions)
4 carrots, peeled and julienned
4 flour tortillas
48 toothpicks
1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125 ml) hoisin sauce,
for dipping
Remove meat from duck and discard bones. Slice meat and skin into bite-sized pieces about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Trim away root end of scallions, then cut scallions into 1-1/4-inch (3-cm) lengths. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut a fringe in end of each scallion. Place scallion brushes in a bowl of ice water (scallions will curl in ice water). Place carrots in bowl of ice water with scallions. Chill until ready to serve.
Warm tortillas in a microwave oven for 1 minute or wrapped in aluminum foil in a 275 degrees F. (140 degrees C/Gas 1) oven for 10 minutes. Using kitchen shears, cut tortillas into 3/4-inch by 4-inch (2-cm by 10-cm) strips.
Working in batches, place tortilla strips on work surface. Top each strip with a small amount of duck, 1 scallion curl, 4 to 5 carrot pieces and a dash of hoisin sauce. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.
Serve with hoisin sauce for dipping.
Prepare duck, scallions and carrots 2 hours ahead. Assemble just before serving.

Suspoemulsions are a combination of Suspension Concentrate and Concentrated Aqueous Emulsion technologies, where two active ingredients with very different physical properties can be combined into one formulation. The advantages are that it is possible to formulate multiple active ingredients together, broadening the spectrum of activity and eliminating the disadvantage of tank-mix incompatibility.
Suspoemulsions can be difficult to formulate. To avoid breakdown processes such as homoflocculation, heteroflocculation, crystal growth and coalescence, Croda advises using speciality polymeric surfactants. Improved anchoring and colloidal stabilisation are key to meeting the required performance criteria.

When I called to order, spoke with Josh Bulman. Gave me good advice on the holster needed and helpfull, very nice guy. Never trust Paypal and order directly. My card will not be charged till shipment, Bulman policy. Apparently, becoming a bad guy for making a quality holster and in demand.
As I told Josh, Hope I receive it by my 65 birthday this December 20 as every month not year counts after then.
"Politicians and Bureaucrats, depend very much on the complicity of their victims, and like criminals, are flummoxed when we don't play the victim role."
The two holster makers who have delivered for me in the general time frames promised are Sparks and K&D (Kevin Manley.)
The single most important thing to me in dealing with others is that they do what they say they will do. Yes quality is extremely important, but I am not willing to tolerate promise after promise and none kept. No one is that good, and there are some that do what they say.
I also realize something unforeseen can occur. I and others understand those problems. However, a constant string of those makes me think they are just excuses, and not acceptable in the long run.
As far as I am concerned, I am a customer. It is the responsibility of the business to anticipate reasonable delays and problems, build them into the system, and when he makes an estimate stick by it except in an emergency.
Tony's and Kevin are the best I have dealt with, and both make real quality products. I might add without trying to harm anyone, that the maker that in my own experience with his holster, is maybe the absolute best made so many excuses and took so long that I would not deal with him again just for that reason.
I think that there are some craftsmen in the various gun related businesses that are superb craftsmen, but very poor business men. They take on more than they can handle, and promise what they cannot deliver.
I like the way DelFatti does it on his site. His waiting period is much too long for me, but he is a very ethical and honorable man, a superb craftsman, and at least one knows pretty close to what he can expect. One can therefore make a decision as to whether he is willing to wait. He will be pleased with the product when he gets it. I am just not willing to wait over a year for anyone's holster, but I do not blame others for waiting for some who have long waiting periods.
But, promises that are just to placate the customer are totally unacceptable. I also think it is dishonest.

I've just had my 335i X for a day and a half and I too have the testmap version loaded into the GPS. So far it has worked well and even some of the really small roads seem to be in the database. I'd like the Road Map Pro version however if the current version has no problems it may be hard to sell the dealer on the idea of updating it.
Is there any way to get the traffic information while here in Germany? Hard to believe my $350 Navigon had features that the $2100 navigation package does not (speed assist and warning, traffic and detour updates, police cameras, etc.). The dealer said the traffic info only works in the US that comes with the US spec BMWs

Mine is sitting in Long Beach right now at the port... the ETA was Thursday but it came in a few days late. Should have it tomorrow or Tuesday... The dealer is about 40 miles away. Can't wait!
Ordered an STi on Jan 12. Woke up on the 13th with an email giving me the VON.
The dealer has the exact car I ordered coming in for another customer. It took about a month for that car to arrive.
Dealer called, the car came in today, Feb 13. Will be picking it up in an hour or so.

I just got an email (and a post) from my salesman saying that my car is on a boat so hopefully it should be here hopefully by the end of the month. The question is do I order snow tires or hope the mild winter continues to last.
I put mine on order January 16th. Man, it's hard to wait!
They said it would be in around the 15th or 20th of February. No VIN yet...
Damn straight I'm crossing my fingers!
Friend ordered his last week and they said 4-6weeks max to come in. Hope you all get them quick!
2011 WRX Limited Stage 3 TP Stinkeye Mob #93
just ordered mine monday 2-6-12 they told me 3-6 weeks damn its going to be a long 3-6 weeks
Ordered 11-17-11 and was told 6-12 weeks. A few weeks ago subaru said it will be around around Feb. 7th and my dealer said within the first 10 days of February some time. It's still not here. Hoping to pick it up today or tomorrow. Tomorrow will be exactly 12 weeks on the dot. I am going crazy! The closer it gets the harder the wait is.

TP Stage 1 - 2012 WRX Premium 5-Door SWP
Ordered my WRX on Jan 14, neither I nor the dealer has heard anything since the initial SOA "Thanks and we love ya" email. I'm going to call SOA today to see if they have any more info.
Hearing all of these different stories makes me wonder if different dealers have varying working relations with SOA.
Calvinball, I also ordered mine around Jan 14th and my dealer called me last week and told me that it should be here next thursday, yet you havent even heard back for SOA yet.
I'm just curious as to what the reasons for all these varying experiences are. Anyone know?
It looks like mine will be in on February 23rd! I'm stoked!
(previously) 2006 Legacy GT Limited OBP
Certainly not I! I talked to the dealer at the beginning of last week and he hadn't heard anything. He did pull up something while I was on the phone and said there was no new update, but that he thought we both should be getting an email from SOA after the start of the new month. That hasn't happened so I'm calling SOA myself at lunch.
Crazy that your dealer got an update when mine didn't...and mine is literally a mile down the road from SOA headquarters in Cherry Hill! haha
I ordered 21st of December. Dealer says early march. Ugh first they said middle of Jan and now they keep pushing it back.

Hello all, this is my 1st post. I picked up my 12 WRX in January. Didn't order in advance, they happened to have one at the dealer. I traded in a 09 Impreza base 5 speed for it and all I can say is

Obsidian Black Pearl Body Side Molding
Obsidian Black Pearl Fog Light Kit

I look forward to stopping by every once in a while!
Called SOA today, got a customer service rep by the name of Bob. Presto chango, I've got my VIN and a tentative delivery date of March 13th.

The Cabinet agreed on the line of demarcation for Lebanon's Exclusive Economic Zone Monday, in anticipation of future plans to drill for oil and gas in Lebanese territorial waters and amid a dispute with Israel over a maritime area that spans some 860 square kilometers.
In July, Israel's Cabinet approved a map of its proposed maritime borders, a move which Lebanon described as an "aggression" against its natural gas and oil rights. The government also threatened to file a complaint against Israel under Chapter 7 to the U.N. Security Council.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who chaired the Cabinet's session Monday, warned of the widespread proliferation of weapons among the Lebanese, saying it undermines the state's authority. The prime minister called on security forces to tighten measures to fight crime on the one hand and stressed the need to address the Lebanese's people social needs on the other.
"This matter security incidents shows that some do not fear punishment or security forces and they are undermining the authority of the state and its capability to preserve security," Mikati said. Mikati said that Lebanon is committed to implementing international resolutions, particularly those concerning Lebanon and the Middle East, ahead of his departure Saturday to New York to participate in the meeting of the U.N. General Assembly.
Sources told The Daily Star that Mikati is expected to hold talks on the sidelines of the meeting with U.N. and Western officials, where he is expected to reiterate Lebanon's commitment to fund the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. Despite Mikati's commitment to fund the U.N.-backed court, sources close to the prime minister said no information was made available on whether the Cabinet would hold discussions on the payment of Lebanon's share to the court.
Media reports have said that President Michel Sleiman and Mikati could authorize Lebanon's payment to the Justice Ministry, which in turn could pay the court. Mikati, who is to preside over the U.N. Security Council once Sleiman returns from New York to Lebanon, voiced hope that Lebanon's presidency of the U.N. Security Council would benefit the country.
The Palestinian Authority will seek recognition of an independent state on 1967 borders, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, during the U.N. General Assembly and Security Council meetings. Meanwhile, the Cabinet postponed discussions over a proposal to reform the public transportation sector, awaiting the formulation of comprehensive plan to resolve the issue. However, according to ministerial sources, the failure of the Cabinet to approve the reform plan was due to political bickering between the Free Patriotic Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party. The sources said the approval of the plan was subject to a bargain over the plan to develop Lebanon's electricity sector.

AICR eNews May 2012 | Issue 70
Sam Ditzell and Gordon McGill
Read the story in their words by
following the link on each name.
We've had many dynamic and inspirational runners on TeamAICR over the years, but we've never had a pair quite like the Big Sur International Marathon duo of cancer survivor Gordon McGill and his trainer, Sam Ditzell. Their enthusiasm, candor, commitment, sense of humor, and above all, their deep friendship, are truly inspiring.
We recently asked Sam and Gordon to send us a few thoughts on their training and friendship. We did our best to condense their story here, but it's really worth reading in their own words: Sam's Story, Gordon's Story.
Sam Ditzell and Gordon McGill met in 2008 when Sam helped Gordon and his wife train for the New York City Marathon. After successfully completing the marathon Gordon recalls that, "The experience was so meaningful that I promised myself that I would run another as soon as I could." Sam and Gordon continued to work together in the hopes of training for another race.
However, in 2009 Gordon was diagnosed with bladder cancer and endured multiple rounds of surgery and chemotherapy. Incredibly, this didn't hold Gordon back. Throughout his treatment he continued to train with Sam and kept a great attitude. Sam remembers, "Some days Gordon couldn't even get out of bed during the chemo, but he still only missed a couple of workouts. More than physical determination, Gordon managed to maintain such a positive, goofy, almost child-like attitude throughout his treatment."
Although the training goal for Gordon was the Big Sur International Marathon, he says his time with Sam has provided so much more. Supplementing his cancer treatment with physical activity gave Gordon the strength, energy and fitness to help overcome cancer, and "a continual renewal of a joy for the outdoors, a heartily needed boost in energy, and a deep appreciation for all of the wonderful people who have supported me in life's struggles," he said.
The benefits were not one-sided. Sam found that he could learn about his own strengths and weaknesses by working with Gordon. "I train people's weaknesses for a living: strength, flexibility, posture, mobility, etc. It's my job, so these are usually areas where I excel. I have learned so much from [Gordon] about attitude, focus, and perspective…He taught me to look at any insurmountable problem that I'm facing in my career, relationships, or health and simply say 'surely, there's a way.'"
While much of their friendship is based on a deep mutual respect, their relationship is often far from serious. Sarah Irish, TeamAICR Coordinator, was quickly drawn into a continuous barrage of emails from Sam and Gordon in which they jokingly bickered back and forth, each seeking to get Sarah to intervene on their behalf to get the other to behave in some fashion.
For all three, the camaraderie has been immensely rewarding and is an outstanding example of how Team AICR interacts with and encourages our team members with humor, sometimes unorthodox advice, and most of all, the personal touch that AICR staffers bring to every relationship.
On April 29th, three years after Gordon's initial diagnosis, he and Sam completed the Big Sur International Marathon side by side. "For the past four years, Sam encouraged me every week to fight my disease with a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, and a good attitude. Now, we are both committed to taking the effort to the next level with TeamAICR as we continue the fight against cancer together."
Thanks, Sam and Gordon, and thanks to all of the members of TeamAICR for their hard work and generosity in the fight against cancer.

Amtrak Traveler Arrested On Warrant, Drugs Found
Written by Wolf Point Herald

Crawford said that the deputies arrested the man, David Koepke of Reno, Nev., in connection with the North Dakota warrant.
Upon Koepke's arrest, the Roosevelt County detention officers inventoried Koepke's baggage and located a large amount of suspected marijuana.
Keopke was charged with felony possession of dangerous drugs and the felony charge of carrying dangerous drugs on a train.
