"Enemies is the first definitive history of the FBI's secret intelligence operations, from an author whose work on the Pentagon and the CIA won him the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. We think of the FBI as America's police force. But secret intelligence is the Bureau's first and foremost mission. Enemies is the story of how presidents have used the FBI as the most formidable intelligence force in American history. Here is the hidden history of America's hundred-year war on terror. The FBI has fought against terrorists, spies, anyone it deemed subversive-- and sometimes American presidents. The FBI's secret intelligence and surveillance techniques have created a tug-of-war between protecting national security and infringing upon civil liberties. It is a tension that strains the very fabric of a free republic"--Publisher's web site.

Source: The Australian
Thanks to an article written by Stephen Fitzpatrick and published by The Australian two days ago, the Melbourne International Film Festival has had to announce the first non-Premiere Fund title for its 2013 festival. Joshua Oppenheimer's Berlinale 2013 Audience Award winner The Act of Killing, one of the first 27 films to be announced for this year's Sydney Film Festival, will be part of the Documentaries stream at MIFF this year.
It is one I'm personally looking forward to – as I mentioned in this recent podcast – with several of the culprits involved in the 1965-66 massacres in Indonesia re-enacting their murders in the style of the films they love.
While many will be dissecting the soon to be announced Cannes Film Festival lineup for MIFF selections, Melbourne audiences can now look forward to seeing The Act of Killing on the big screen, alongside Premiere Fund titles Aim High in Creation!, Galore, In Bob We Trust, My Mistress, Patrick, The Turning, and These Final Hours.

Twinz Beatz – Kronos / Yoshi EP
Worldwide radio premièred by Hardwell on "Hardwell On Air" , "Kronos" is the latest production by Miami based producers Twinz Beatz.
Kronos is a unique big room electro track which takes big room house to the next level. This is probably the slickest drop you heard in a while. Catchy (yet dark) breakdown , rolling snares & huge drop are the few elements that Twinz Beatz need to make Kronos a true classic anno 2012.
To an addition to KRONOS, Twinz Beatz created "Yoshi". "Yoshi" is all about acid leads and big "in –the-face" drops. These tracks together makes KRONOS/YOSHI E.P a well-balanced yet solid two-track E.P.
KRONOS/YOSHI E.P will be released on Deal Records November the 5th.
Title : Kronos/Yoshi E.P
Artist : Twinz Beatz
Genre : Electro House
Label : Deal Records

Why See Michael Bolton?
The Voice, the Hair
Michael Bolton began his career, surprising as it may seem now, singing hard rock songs. He fronted the 70's band Blackjack for two albums, before going solo when they disbanded in 1980. His self-titled third album, released three years later, featured the talents of Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick.
Bolton really hit his peak though when he decided go down a poppier route, and the decision to cover old standards like (Sittin on) the Dock of the Bay and Georgia On My Mind, proved to be a stroke of genius. From the late 80s onwards, Michael Bolton's mastery of the pop-rock ballad turned him into a household name the world over, selling millions of records and earning him two Grammys. Recently, he's found a whole new audience with his self-deprecating appearance in The Onion Movie and his hilarious guest vocal on Lonely Island's track Jack Sparrow.
2015 Tour
Michael is currently hard at work on his new studio album, which has been put together with the help of his fans through music platform PledgeMusic. Themed around his passion for the silver screen, the record contains covers of classic tracks from the movies. Catch Michael when he plays Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella, CA, Closed March 11, 2017

America Town: Building the Outposts of Empire by Mark L. Gillem
While the imperialist motives and actions of the United States are heavily researched, watched, and disseminated, the exportation of America's suburban sprawl to foreign soil via the construction and planning of military bases is devoid of the attention it deserves. The subject deals not only with the physical make-up of the housing, retail, and other subsidiary functions servicing the military personnel and their families, but also with the relationship between the United States and the foreign country, the host. Mark Gillem -- and architect, planner, professor, and former U.S. Air Force officer -- approaches the subject from a multi-disciplinary background, and he naturally makes the study multi-disciplinary in its scope and conclusions. Rather than focusing on one particular aspect of an already narrow topic, Gillem broadens his approach to embrace the social and political, as well as the architectural.
After a couple brief and cursory chapters on Empire and American imperialism, Gillem takes aim on the subject at hand: the effects of the physical planning and construction of military bases in Japan, South Korea, and Italy. Numerous effects stand out, many of them subsidiary to the planning practices of the military, like the proliferation of prostitution and other "services" aimed at the primarily male and single personnel at some bases. But the effects that do stem from planning practices paint a picture of a government that, as a guest, treats its host in a manner that could best be described as terrible. From making the host pay for most of the construction and infrastructure to taking more and more of the host's land to enable the construction of sprawling residential areas, beyond the highly consumptive landing strips and other pure military elements, the US stubbornly perpetuates a practice of inefficient, automobile-dependent land use and the consumption of more and more land for ornamental lawns in the name of security.
Certainly these practices will come as no surprise to people who pay attention to suburban sprawl, as won't the juxtaposition of the "void" of American bases with the "solid" of the adjacent local buildings. Additionally, the actions the military has undertaken since 2001 -- when the military was in a period of declining presence in foreign lands, only to be reversed by acts of terrorism -- are disappointing, if not shocking; namely, the decision to further insulate the base from its context. In effect this decision makes the host an enemy, as terrorism can arise from anybody anywhere, supposedly. It's an unfortunate trend that goes against gains made in Italy, for example, where housing for military personnel blends extremely well into the surrounding context and offers an alternative to the continued, insensitive exportation of American practices in foreign lands.

Made in South Africa, fair trade bracelets for Dutch soccer fans
Like any major sports event, the FIFA World Cup is a prime merchandising moment, with vast quantities of t-shirts, scarves and those infamous vuvuzelas hitting the stadiums of South Africa and the streets of the teams' home countries. But as crucial as they may seem to fervent soccer fans, most of the patriotic paraphernalia has a fairly short lifespan between shipping containers and landfills.

Industry might not be booming, but many companies on the market today appear errantly priced in light of their earnings prospects and cash flows. With income investors on the hunt for sustainable yields, some of the most promising of companies appear to be passing unnoticed despite some key metrics indicative of their inherent value. As it stands, some industries are currently being held to a higher degree of scrutiny in light of the macroeconomic uncertainty now underway. Yet for income investors who believe in timely acquisitions of companies who have proven to be leaders of their own market space, the following four companies may prove worthy of future consideration. All values were taken as of August 20, 2012.
|Company Name
|Market Cap.
|Trailing P/E
Price/Book Ratio
|Fwd. Div%
|Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. (NYSE:CLF)
|$5.93 Billion
|Corning Inc (NYSE:GLW)
|$17.85 Billion
|Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ:STX)
|$13.94 Billion
|Xinyuan Real Estate Co., Ltd. (NYSE:XIN)
|$106 Million
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.
Cliffs operates as the largest producer of iron ore pellets in North America and is a sizeable producer of metallurgical coal. With global economic growth teetering on the edge of uncertainty, the steel industry has had a rough time finding confidence amongst the investment community. Yet with analysts expecting $6.17 in earnings this year and $7.91 by the end of 2013, Cliff's now trades at an extremely low price-to-earnings ratio. The company also trades slightly below book value and has significantly raised its dividend yield to 6% in recent history as seen in the chart below. All of these signs suggest the company has strong confidence in itself even as investors shy away from investing.
Corning Inc. (GLW)
Corning is a specialty glass and ceramic manufacturer. The company has roots stretching 160 years and has become well-established in many markets, most notably in that of display technologies with its partner Samsung. The company has lately been taking greater strides in diversifying its revenue streams and has been making headlines with some of its more novel innovations. The company's brand of Gorilla Glass for instance has practically become the industry standard in the glass market for mobile devices. Now trading with a price-to-book ratio of 0.84, this veteran company fails to be given the respect it deserves when one considers the abundant cash flows it's now realizing. With operating cash flows of $3.19 billion in 2011, the company felt comfortable in raising its dividend by 50% towards the end of the year.
Seagate Technology PLC
Seagate exists in a practical oligarchy with counterpart Western Digital (NYSE:WDC) and much smaller rival Toshiba. Thanks to many years of consolidation within the hard disk drive market, the company is now reaping benefits of strong earnings that have pushed its P/E ratio down to 5.41. As a result, the company's cash flows have remained robust thanks to pricing control. However, the company's stock has also been repressed as fears of hard disk drives becoming outdated have become a realistic possibility as solid state drives become more established. Yet with $3.26 billion in operating cash flows over the past year, the company has aggressively been buying back its stock and raising its dividend yield. Its abundant cash flows also suggest the likely ability of the company to acquire a solid state drive competitor should it find it necessary in the future.
Xinyuan Real Estate
Xinyuan Real Estate may seem out of place on this short list of names with its light market capitalization of $106 million, but this undervalued Chinese real estate developer has been running on all four wheels since it listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Chinese stocks as a whole have been largely tainted in recent history, and the fears of a Chinese real estate collapse have been rampant for several years. Yet unlike most Chinese companies on US exchanges, Xinyuan has taken the proactive step of buying back its stock and raising its dividend. Having completed a $10 million share repurchase program, the company doubled its efforts and renewed it with a $20 million share buyback. Offering an annual $0.10/ADS rate in 2011, the company broke this up into a quarterly distribution of $0.04/ADS resulting in a 60% yield increase. Now trading at an unheard of price-to-book ratio of 0.17 along with a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 1.04, income investors might do well to familiarize themselves with this castaway company. Xinyuan is not only impressing on the earnings front, but giving the spoils back to shareholders along the way.

H.H. the Dalai Lama, the most prominent contemporary figure in Tibetan Buddhism, teaches regularly on a variety of topics ranging from entry level lectures to profound oral commentaries on seminal texts covering subjects such as Wisdom, Compassion, Ethics, Nature of the Mind, Buddhism and Science, and Meditation and Psychotherapy. His office does a great job making the teachings available through its official webcast. Now they are available in a podcast here as MP3 audio files encoded at 64Kbps mono.

The Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life says that the Buddha reflected long and hard on what would be the best way to benefit sentient beings. He concluded that it was to develop the awakening mind of bodhichitta. He then strove to develop it and worked relentlessly for the welfare of sentient beings. Whether we follow the Pali or Sanskrit traditions of Buddhism our task is to develop the awakening mind. When we do so, we will find greater peace in our lives. Why is this? Because the stronger our sense of self-centredness the greater is our unease, whereas the more we are concerned about others, the more secure we feel. Self-centredness is the source of all downfalls; cherishing others is the source of all happiness and success. This is not only ethically sound, it accords with dependent arising. Following the procedures outlined in the Guide for generating the aspiring awakening mind and then the Bodhisattva vow, His Holiness advises his listeners to visualise Buddha Shakyamuni before them encircled by the teachers of the various Buddhist lineages. Around themselves they visualise suffering sentient beings. His Holiness leads a recitation of chapters 2 & 3 of the Guideas preliminaries followed by the verses of aspiration and taking the Bodhisattva vow. He concludes by recommending that his listeners review and repeat this aspiration and vow whenever they can, remarking that he himself does so every day. The 37 Practices survey the six transcendent perfections, generosity, ethics, patience, joyful effort, meditation and wisdom that are the Bodhisattva's practice.

Hi guys,
I don't know if this is the right forum, so please forgive me if it isn't
During the development of Minimalistic Text I came across the lack of a good color picker view for Android.
In the first attempt I used the one from the samples (The "Ring").
The second attempt has been to integrate this one and add the possibility to change the alpha channel.
In the end I decided to build my own.
To let you use this color picker and – if you like to and are able to – improve it, I've extracted it into an Android library project and made it open source.

Customers assembling or reworking lead free solder joints using traditional lead free wires have be dealing with many issues affecting not only quality and aesthetics of the solder joints but increases in solder tip consumption. A company using $20,000 worth of soldering tips per year, switching from tin/lead to lead free can double that consumption amount due to the physical characteristics of the SAC alloys eroding the inside of the soldering tip. Koki�s Eco-Plus series lead free wire formula, addresses this and returns the consumption back to a reasonable level.
Soldering iron manufacturers have done their part in addressing lead free hand soldering. As well, retraining operators in good hand soldering techniques helps as well. Koki�s new lead free wire (Eco-Plus S03X7C-56M series) goes many steps further by addressing or eliminating all together the remaining issues previously unresolved in lead free soldering, namely:
� Flux splatter
� Lack of wetting
� Solder tip erosion
� Solder joint strength
� Solder tip carbonization
� Over heating of solder joints
� Spiking or flagging of the joint

So that said, I have peace knowing we are embracing each day, each month as they come with our sweet girl...taking photos, making memories, pausing in the small moments to take them in, soaking up the fascination of each new experience, surrendered to knowing that God brought this sweet girl into the world for his purposes, his glory...and we have been blessed with the opportunity to prepare her for just that. So I can honestly say with joy that I'm ready to celebrate having a 9 month old!
Selah's sitting on the first quilt I've ever made...hard work, but fun!
Selah is still a great car traveler, though she'll only sleep on long trips. She loves the stroller and taking walks, and can go for quite awhile. She loves bathtime which is still also some of her storytime, and I haven't transitioned her to just sitting in the tub yet. I'm still feeling safer with her infant tub as long as she fits it! She averages 2-3 naps a day and I feel like we've got a pretty good rhythm. (though that always seems to change for a time after I blog about it!!) I do think consistent sleep is really important for her, and I try to guard her naps as much as I can. When I don't I definitely can tell! Selah is a little snuggler, and seems to enjoy rocking and singing, which I love. If I need to I can lay her down to go to sleep without rocking, but I try too savor that time and use it to transition her to sleep time as often as I can. I think my body has adjusted to the mommyhood fatigue though I still have super tired days, and am definitely tired after any big excursion. I'm such a night owl but have learned that going to bed early helps a ton.
This past month Selah has loved her shapes puzzle, her shape sorter, banging on her leapfrog drum, playing the xylophone, shaking anything that rattles or shakes, and holding two of anything that makes noise when she hits them together. She gets a real kick out of that last one. Oh, and Chai's leash or the zipper pulls on the diaper bag. Can't get enough of those either. She's also still very interested in books...though she prefers to handle them herself...and would just love to get ahold of all the ones with real paper in them! She also loves door stops. That is cute to watch. She actually still will play in the exersaucer for awhile, and she does like the jumperoo. She is especially proud of herself that she can open and close drawers!
Also, since her daddy returned from a two week trip to Israel about 2 weeks ago she thinks he is just the funniest thing. She's quite smitten it seems, and will crack up at him. I think that's when she also learned to say 'dada' more intentionally, and now it seems to be her favorite word. Though today she crawled right up to my feet and said, "Mum." So sweet. She also said "Mama" kind of unintentionally on Easter and babbles it every now and then. Though it's not any sort of pattern or anything. Sometimes the way she looks at me I think she wishes she could just say what she means. I'm trying to get her start with 'please' and 'thank you' - whether she means it or not! :) I haven't been as consistent with signs, but I'm realizing this age is when it's starting to be fun to teach her things...because she loves to watch and listen to me when I go into detail about whatever I want her to learn. So now when she does the sort of whining noise whenever she wants something, I'll start up a big conversation with her. And at least she stops and looks at me funny, so I'll take it! I'm learning she loves when we act goofy and silly. I really got her going after her nap today, just from making funny sounds. And wouldn't you do just about anything to hear your baby laugh? It's so awesome.
While he was away she also started shaking her head which looks like she's saying no, but it seems like she just uses it to communicate. She got her second tooth on the bottom 2 weeks ago, and just today I saw one on top peeking through! Oh my goodness, she's going to look like such a big girl with a mouth full of teeth one of these days! That teething is as tough as everyone says for sure. When they really seem to be giving her a tough time I give her a cube of frozen breastmilk in one of those littlle mesh things that she can chew. That seems to help a lot.
This past month was filled to the brim and seems to have flown by. Selah experienced her first girls' trip with my mom and I, she celebrated both of her grandma's and one of her grandpa's birthdays for the first time, she went swimming for the first time on Memorial Day, (which she loved!) and she made it through another doctor's appt. like a champ. Better than me at least. So far I think summer and babies are a fun combo...with hats and sunscreen of course. I just think onesies, shorts, and sundresses are the cutest.
There's always so much more, but I think that's a good summary of all I hope to remember. It's just so crazy that when she lays on my chest now she seems to cover my whole self. So I snuggle her just a little closer, determined to wrap her in my arms as long as she'll fit! then I try to memorize exactly what that moment feels like. I sure hope it works. ;) I have been thinking and praying a lot about the best ways to spend our days and how to start discipling her and raising her with a heart that burns for God from a young age. I'm so thankful for some great books, awesome older moms in my life who are an encouragement, and great ideas out there in blog world. What a blessing to have so many resources that a lot of our parents didn't. Thank you Lord for letting me be a mom. There's no doubt the journey has its difficult moments and will refine the very depths of a person...but but it's the most rewarding and fully wonderful experience all at the same time. What's crazy is how I know this baby stage is the physically exhausting part...but I have a feeling it is emotionally the easiest it's going to get. I know this sweet precious girl I write about might just find her tongue and break my heart on some days...but that's okay. Because I'm focused on and savoring right now.

EDUCAUSE respects the privacy of the users of its domain name registration services. This Privacy Policy ('Policy') embodies our commitment to its protection through adherence to fair electronic information practices.
The Policy includes the following:
The application for domain name registration services found at http://net.educause.edu/edudomain shows the information requested of each applicant. All of the information requested is obligatory unless otherwise noted on the relevant form. When an application is made, the applicant agrees to provide and maintain accurate, complete, and updated information.
After an application is received or registration is completed, EDUCAUSE may be in communication about an account, technical questions or other matters. This information may be kept for future use.
For operational and quality assurance purposes, EDUCAUSE may take note of whether and how a registrant uses the information provided, such as by recording site traffic patterns and by maintaining log files of users' access to site files.
Information received is stored on systems designed to prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of that information.
Pursuant to its domain name registration services, EDUCAUSE compiles and maintains a publicly accessible registration database that includes basic information about each domain name registered with us, including the names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of individuals designated as points of contact for a given domain name. Whether or not applicable domain name registration fees have been paid is also publicly accessible. With the gradual continued privatization of the Domain Name System, and consistent with the rules or policies applicable to that system, or to comply with any changes in law or regulation, EDUCAUSE may, if appropriate, take steps to restrict the accessibility and amount of personally identifying information available in the registration database.
An applicant or registrant has the ability to correct or change certain information in EDUCAUSE records, such as address and contact information. The process for changing your information begins at http://net.educause.edu/edudomain. An applicant or registrant may change this information at any time and as often as necessary.
EDUCAUSE uses information about each applicant and registrant for purposes of monitoring and improving internal operations, as well as to ensure: (i) proper billing, (ii) administration of accounts in accordance with agreements, and (iii) proper performance of services.
EDUCAUSE also uses the information collected to monitor and improve internal operations, as well as to improve the experience of users. For example, EDUCAUSE may correlate Web site traffic information with data about individual users. This data helps EDUCAUSE to determine how much its customers use parts of the site, allowing EDUCAUSE to enhance it to fit the needs of as many customers as possible. EDUCAUSE may also break down overall usage statistics according to customers' domain names, browser types, and MIME types by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).
Another example of the way EDUCAUSE uses information to enhance the experience of users in the network of sites is reliance on cookie files. EDUCAUSE uses cookie files to make it easier for users to access the EDUCAUSE site or services. A cookie file is a small data file that certain Web sites write to the user's hard drive when the user visits them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages the user has visited. However, the only personal information a cookie can contain is information supplied by the user. A cookie cannot read data off a user's hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. EDUCAUSE uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above) when a customer registers for EDUCAUSE services. When a customer registers, EDUCAUSE may use a cookie to store a unique, random user ID. EDUCAUSE uses this ID to identify the user anonymously in the EDUCAUSE database and to track the pages the user visits on the EDUCAUSE site.
If a user has set a browser to warn the user before accepting cookies, the user will receive the warning message with each cookie. A user may refuse cookies by turning them off in the user's browser; however, some of EDUCAUSE sites may require a cookie for access.
We may also use the information we collect to send you important notices and information affecting your domain-name registration.
When a domain name is registered, EDUCAUSE must disclose it and its associated Internet Protocol ("IP") numbers to the appropriate registry in order to make the domain name a functional address on the Internet. EDUCAUSE is the registrar for all second-level domain names in the .edu top-level domain. The registry for such names discloses each registered domain name and its associated IP numbers ("TLD zone files") to TLD server administrators so that the domain name is capable of functioning as an address on the Internet. Consistent with the current rules and policies for the Domain Name System, the registry unit also discloses the TLD zone files to other interested persons, provided those persons agree, among other things, not to use the TLD zone files for improper purposes, including the transmission of unsolicited commercial e-mail.
EDUCAUSE may share certain information about each applicant and registrant with certain vendors who are responsible for handling accounts or performing other services related to EDUCAUSE's provision of domain name registration services. EDUCAUSE will not share such information with other third parties, except in response to formal requests (e.g., subpoena or court order) made in connection with litigation or arbitration proceedings directly relating to a domain name registration services.
As noted above, certain information is available to the general public via the EDUCAUSE domain name registration database look-up and directory services. These services give users access to such data on a query-by-query basis. EDUCAUSE does not at this time provide access to such data on a so-called "bulk access" basis.
By applying for and using a .edu domain name, each applicant and registrant represents to EDUCAUSE that it has provided notice to, and obtained consent from, any third party individuals whose personal data is supplied to EDUCAUSE with regard to: (i) the purposes for which such third party's personal data have been collected, (ii) the intended recipients or categories of recipients of the third party's personal data, (iii) which of the third party's data are obligatory and which data, if any, are voluntary, and (iv) how the third party can access and, if necessary, rectify the data held about them.
Only those EDUCAUSE employees and vendors that have a legitimate business purpose for accessing and handling personal information obtained by EDUCAUSE are given authorization to do so. The unauthorized access or use of such information by an EDUCAUSE employee is prohibited and constitutes grounds for disciplinary action. Vendors are not authorized to use such information for purposes beyond those specified by EDUCAUSE and are required to preserve the confidentiality with which EDUCAUSE treats such information. EDUCAUSE information management systems are configured in such a way as to block or inhibit employees from accessing information that they have no authority to access.
EDUCAUSE will post any changes to this Privacy Policy 30 days before their effective date. Each registrant is responsible for periodically checking the EDUCAUSE web site for changes to this Privacy Policy.
Questions regarding this Privacy Policy may be sent to email@example.com.

That's great! I didn't show much either. It's different for everyone.
I'm jealous! I looked pretty darn pregnant with my kids - but every person is different!!
I didn't start looking pregnant until it was time for me to have her. So... like, 33 weeks lol
I had her at 34 weeks gestation.
well I looked hugely pregnant with my son so I was pretty shocked myself lol
i just looked fat
i just looked fat
I definitely showed and was pretty huge with most of mine since they were big babies. Not so much with my seven pounders.
my daughter was only 5pds 12 oz when she was born at 36 weeks (Naturally my water broke at 36 weeks).

i have about 200 of these in a bag. they are plastic.
Its used to hold pegs in the Pegboard.
Gotcem here on this boat. ya wanna pic?
Towboater is right. they keep the pegs from coming out of the pegboard. i have bought and used them before.
Surely you jest ! That,s easy , it,s a West Virginia tooth-pick silly...! :D
show me how they work.....

sorry, i don't know of any pictures of them in use.
Edit: found one!

Here is a picture of a peg retainer.
Now there's marketing.
"I'll make a board with holes in it to hold hooks. Now I'll make hooks to put in the board. I'll sell millions of them. When sales slow down, I'll release a clip to hold the hooks on the board. Brilliant! Why use a nail when three pieces will almost do the job."
Seriously, I do understand why they're used on boats. Nothing stays in place long when cruising.
they use those metal clips where you cram it in and its held in by the bend in the fingers.
until the ship hits something...and the whole board comes down. lol.

|Reviews for Returned
| Guest in Europe chapter 25 . 6/22/2015
I love your creativity and the thorough build-up you give to the relationships you create. I think you manage to keep everyone in character brilliantly, even Severus. My heart broke for him when he found out; poor guy can never catch a break.
Would I be right in thinking that English is not your first language? Sometimes your syntax and word choices are so utterly bizarre. JK herself is never one to pass up the oportunity for an adverbial flourish, but your linguistic flourishes are frankly weird in places and brilliant at times. Last chapter you mentioned a beta; I'm amazed that someone doesn't pick up on some of the odd word usage.
All that being said, your creativity is fabulous and I'd never considered Hermione and Sirius as a pair before, preferring her with Snape or even Harry... but your sex-god Sirius is quite something. I can't see Gary Oldman as Sirius, but the Sirius in my head is also a bit of a sex-god!
Thank you for your story.
| 93 Diagon Alley chapter 38 . 6/13/2015
This was fabulous, you did a really great job with it :)
Eventually, I'll come back and reread this, and when I do, I'll make more comments along the way.
| Ellae chapter 1 . 4/14/2015
it's a bit weird for Remus to coo anything to Hermione... and for him to hear her screaming but mosey over, yawning, in his robe. I enjoy the care you've clearly put in the precise detailing of your writing, but not all of these details are really necessary and sort of detract from the urgency of the plot...
| Dallasanne chapter 38 . 4/8/2015
I know that the author may never see this, since this is a very old story. I enjoyed it except for some jarring mistakes - for instance, Britain never banned imports from Cuba, so there would be no "illegal" Cuban cigars, and the verb "lie/lay/to lie" is consistently misused (lied means to have told an untruth - it does not refer to anything in a reclining position). Then there were the Americanisms like graduation and "Valedictorian" - foreign concepts in a British boarding school.
Errors aside, the love story was sweet, and I liked the way Severus Snape's character evolved here. Thanks for sharing the story!
| Guest chapter 38 . 3/9/2015
It's disgusting that you made Hermione date Snape. So gross! I agree with Sirius, that Hermione must of been really desperate to be with Snivels.
Normally, I'd be annoyed that Sirius calls other women "love" but for this story I don't really care, since you've made Hermione a cheating bitch!
| liljennmartin chapter 38 . 9/6/2014
Creative story with great writing...I truly did not want it to end!
| ObliviateMeQuietly chapter 38 . 9/1/2014
Yet another fantastic story of yours! Gosh, your Sirimione fics make me so mushy and just ugh! They make me so happy! You're an amazing writer and I just hope that maybe, when you have more time, that you'll update some of your others :)
| Guest chapter 38 . 7/30/2014
Sweet,cute happy ending, can't believe I just finish this story in one day, thanks for this amazing siriusxhermione love story,hope to read more of your works, great job ;)
| gypsykl79 chapter 10 . 9/5/2013
I know this is a Sirius and Hermione story but after the the memory scenes with Severious I'm so wishing the war would end and they'd work out. But its a very good story.
| starlite22 chapter 24 . 5/23/2013
The story seems to jump from week to weeks later? As the seasons change, did he become an Aurora? Did she pass her exam? slightly confused.
| Brokengirl17 chapter 38 . 3/18/2013
Wow! I personally love this Story! I am always blushing, and it has a thrill in it! Good job!
| Aisha04 chapter 38 . 2/17/2013
Is there a sequel? I loved this story!
| Aisha04 chapter 34 . 2/17/2013
This is by far the best hp love triangle. You have written this superbly!
| MaddazaHatter chapter 38 . 1/12/2013
I love it! :D Well done, once again. I thought for a moment there you were going to put Hermione with Severus! I'm glad you didn't though. Great job and keep these works of art coming!
| PeePeeroni chapter 15 . 11/24/2012
I know this is a Sirius/Hermione fiction and I want them to end up together, but I just feel bad for Severus. He lost the women he fell in love w/ to two of the Marauders.

Christina Milian wants proposal
Christina Milian is desperate to get engaged.
The 34-year-old singer made the admission that she is ready to tie the knot as she went ring shopping with her sister Lizzy's boyfriend Dom on tonight's (29.12.15) episode of 'Christina Milian Turned Up'.
She said: "I'm excited for him. I'm glad he asked me to be a part of this with him. Ah I'm in love. These rings are absolutely gorgeous and you know a girl can dream. I just want to try them all on.
"Sure would be nice if my man would put a ring on it. Hint, hint. Hi."
Meanwhile, the 'Dip It Low' hitmaker previously revealed she has been pining after a proposal for a long time.
In a frank chat with sister Lizzie, she said: "My guy is a good guy too, but we're driving each other crazy right now. It's like he's way too far away for us to be trying to like fix something and it's like and it's so ... it's such a really big deal, it's the worst it's ever gotten before.
"I got a phone call the other day, somebody asking if we were engaged. I'm like, 'I wish that was the case.' And then I got a phone call the same day asking if we broke up."

AP Psychology
Cognition: Language
Weiten Ch 8
Myers Ch 9
Notes Outline
1. Purpose of language
2. Structure of language
3. Language Acquisition
Purpose of Language
Languages are symbols that convey meaning, plus rules for combining those symbols, that can be used to generate an infinite variety of messages.
Structure of Language
Human languages are HIERARCHICAL in nature. Basic sounds are combined into unites with meaning, which are combined into words , words are combined into phrases, which are combined into sentences.
40 phonemes -->100,000 morphemes-->616,500-->infinite number of sentences
Phonemes are the smallest speech unit in a language that can be distinguished perceptually. Despite the number of words there are only about 100 phonemes, no one language uses them all, and most only use 20-80. English uses about 40 that correspond to the 26 letters of the alphabet.
Smallest units of meaning in a language. English has approximately 50,000 morphemes.
A system of rules that enables us to communicate with one another. Guides us in deriving meaning from sounds (semantics) and ordering words into sentences (syntax)
- Semantics – the area of language concerned with understanding the meaning of words and word combinations
- Syntax - system of rules that specify how words can be arranged into sentences.
- EX: A sentence must have a noun phrase AND a verb phrase.
- EX: The article (the) comes BEFORE the noun = The swimmer, not Swimmer the.
Language Acquisition
The Brain & Language – THE BRAIN OPERATES BY DIVIDING ITS MENTAL FUNCTIONS – SPEAKING, PERCEIVING, THINKING, REMEMBERING – INTO SUB-FUNCTIONS, spreads these functions out around the brain
- Aphasia - impairment of language, associated with multiple cortical areas
- Broca's area – SPOKEN SPEECH
- Wernicke's area – HEARING LANGUAGE and understanding
Pre-Speech Stage
3 month old – babies can identify phonemes, and recognize all the possible phonemes, even those they don't here in their native language. Ability disappears by 12 months.
Babbling – 4-18 months. Repetitive consonant and vowel combinations à "lalalalalalalalala" --> NOT an imitation of adult speech, cannot identify language spoken by adults at home from babbling. Continues even after words emerge, continually gets closer to actual language spoken by adults.
7 months old – Babies can segment sounds into individual words - "Mama loves you" not "Mahmahluvsuuuu"
8 month old – already recognize and store common word forms
10-13 months – Begin uttering sounds that correspond to words. In most languages the words for Mom and Dad are made out of the most common early sounds (Mama, dada, papa) --> DOES reflect language of parent
- Jargon stage – 10 months - pre-linguistic vocalizations in which infants use adult-like stress and intonation. The general structure of the syllables that they are producing is very closely related to the sounds of their native language and this form of babbling significantly predicts the form of early words.
Speech Stage
Holophrastic / One word Sentence Stage
RECEPTIVE SPEECH v PRODUCTIVE SPEECH – Receptive speech is what they understand, productive speech is what they can say
- First words - usually deal with objects (food, ball) then social actions (hello, goodbye)
- Vocabulary spurt/naming explosion – learn first 10-15 words slowly, then around 18 months old realize everything has a name and begins learning words quickly
- Fast mapping – occurs when children map a new word onto an underlying concept after only one exposure
- Overextension – incorrectly using a word to describe a wider set of objects – everything round is a ball
- Underextentions – incorrectly using a word to describe a narrower set of objects than it actually describes – only favorite doll is a doll
- Telegraphic speech - consists of mainly content words; articles, prepositions, and other less critical words are omitted – "give food" rather than "Please let me have some food"
- 3 year old - can express complex ideas such as plurals or past tense, but not perfectly
- Overregularizations - occur when grammar rules are misapplied – "the girl goed home" instead of "the girl went home" or "he is the baddest" instead of "he is the worst" – SHOW THEY ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO LEARN THE RULES
Longer Sentences
- Most development in language develops in the first four to five years, but does continue during elementary grades as students get formal verbal and written training in the language.
- Metalinguistics – ability to think about language. Use of metaphors, irony, sarcasm

So, yesterday my boyfriend wasn't really entertaining me and I told him if he could stop being boring and he said "idk what to tell you." so I said goodnight. he then wanted to chill a few hours after then canceled on me (this has happened a few times) we haven't spoken since yesterday and i don't want to text him only because i feel too clingy. I don't think he misses me, but the only reason I haven't texted him is because I wanted to see if he'd actually blow up my phone in which he didn't. i don't know if I should feel mad and/or upset because i know he would never do that. should i just not text him at all tomorrow either until he texts me? I feel like he's not interested in what I say, he's even said it himself that he's not interested in anything I say. So should I just move on or just wait until he texts me?
Most Helpful Guy
It's time to move on. If your boyfriend isn't interested in you, there is no real relationship. A relationship is a 2 way street. You give and you receive. Your purpose in a relationship is to give to that relationship. You enter with a mindset that you are there to give what you have to the other person, and that the other person will reciprocate (will do the same). If you find yourself being the only one that is giving in the relationship, (which means he is taking but not giving, in other words, a one way street) it is time to move on.11|00|0

Keekok Lee explores the philosophical foundation of modern medicine, a link often ignored if not denied in the literature.

Nathan Emmerich finds the work to somewhat confused and more of a study of the philosophical foundations of biomedical science.

I have checked out several online dating sites and never achieved anything there! Rarely got the chance to chat with someone, I had never replies on my messages. Complete waste of time and money on all of them. Is this just me? Tell me your experiences.
Most Helpful Girl
I've never tried an actual dating website, but I have tried apps such as Tinder. Although it can be very superficial, the chances of getting matches are very high and I have found that the majority of people are happy to and swift in replying if you open with something unique and fun. I have found that many of the users are interested in just hooking up but many are willing to get to know one another on a deeper level and it has personally led to a few dates.10|10|0

I looked at Kokorec today, I saw it raw on a few markets and I could actually see the center of one of these skewers on the grill.
It seems the intestines is around something that looks like pure fat. Is it correct that its just intestine wrapped around animal fat or is the center something else?
Haven't yet eaten it, still debating. It doesn't smell too nice.

Nearly every activity on campus relies on the consumption of energy, primarily in the form of purchased electricity or combusted natural gas. The University purchases all of its electricity from Westar Energy, and most of it is distributed through its own electrical grid. The vast majority of electricity is used in campus buildings for lighting, equipment, ventilation, heating, and cooling. Natural gas is used primarily to fuel the power plant that distributes steam to buildings for heating and hot water. Together, these energy sources account for over 85% of the approximately $12 million expended on utilities each year.
Through ongoing leadership and innovation, the University of Kansas strives to develop a sustainable energy system.
Key achievements in working toward this vision, and the corresponding strategy (in parentheses), include:
- The KU Energy Office submits annual energy audits to the Kansas Department of Administration, which reports the results to the Governor and Legislature (E 1.1.1).
- In 2012, DCM worked with KU Purchasing to establish a number of on-call service contracts to improve procurement efficiency, including one for building commissioning and testing services. These on-call vendors have been engaged in providing commissioning services for a number of new building projects and renovations on campus, as well as retro-commissioning existing buildings. (E 1.1.2).
- The Energy Engineer publishes monthly and annual utility reports. They include energy, cost, and CO2 emissions per building (E 1.1.6).
- Campus Energy Policy was updated in 2014, and 2015 with a larger policy revision and update done in 2016 (E 2.1.1).
- Campus Energy Conservation Standards were created and attached to the Campus Energy Policy update done in 2016. The standards address problematic energy issues (E 2.1.2).
- The Energy Office continues to monitor and adjust HVAC schedules to conserve energy (E 2.2.1).
- The newly created energy.ku.edu website will contain building energy use data but not in real time (E 2.3.1)
- The energy conservation behavior specialist was hired in 2015 and is developing a program to build green teams, launch behavior programs, and educate occupants (E 2.3.2).
- The Lights Out! energy conservation competition in 2012 and 2013 piloted individual and department-wide incentives, including prizes for participating in an energy pledge and a lunch for the winning building (E 2.3.3).
- An Energy Conservation award was created and given at the 2016 Sustainability Leadership Awards (E 2.4.1)
- Participants in Lights Outs! were recognized for their achievements in 2012 and 2013, and a portion of the savings was returned to departments (E 2.4.2)
- Solar panels were placed at the Hall Engineering Research Center in 2013 and on The Forum at Marvin Hall in 2014. Solar panels were also placed on M2SEC, with real-time monitoring of energy generation, as part of a 2015 Westar Energy grant. (E 3.1.2).

More Info on the FPSF Blind Pre-Sale & Pegstar's New Venue
FPSF returns to Eleanor Tinsley Park June 6 and 7. The lineup will be announced in a few weeks, co-founder Jagi Katial says.
Photo by Groovehouse
In just a few hours, or right now if you're just waking up, the blind pre-sale for this year's Free Press Summer Fest begins at 10 a.m. at fpsf.com, and tickets should disappear faster than a rich banker when the collection plate in church gets passed around. For those who may have swallowed too much bongwater, that's your first opportunity to buy passes to the seventh edition of the Bayou City's annual bacchanal in Eleanor Tinsley Park, where the only thing hotter than the acts onstage is the temperatures in the portapotties.
This year's FPSF is scheduled for June 6 and 7, and if you remember, last year's presale did not quite go off without a hitch. Namely, when last year's was announced, some people saw the increased price tag and said, "Say what now?" But Jagi Katial, co-founder of the festival and the man behind Pegstar Concerts, the local promoters who are building their own concert venue on Houston's near Northside (more on that in a bit), promises that fans are not in for another case of sticker shock. Prices this year, he promises, are "more in line with last year."
"I think last year the problem was that people were not prepared (by us) about the presale happening," Katial says. "We were surprised about how fast they sold. So, by the time they got online to buy a ticket we had blown through a lot of the cheaper passes in a matter of minutes.
"I think people know now that if they want to buy at the cheapest levels, they are gonna have to be ready to go early," he adds. "And even at the top level of the blind pre-sale, the passes are very affordable, a steal, really."

Although he won't name a number (we'll find out soon enough anyway), for comparison's sake, Katial says the pre-sale prices are similar to what fans might pay for a regular tour stop by one of the headliners. As to who those might be, Katial says the lineup won't be announced for another four to six weeks, but he will say that there are approximately the same number of acts as in 2014, and that local musicians will continue to play a crucial role.
"Rest assured we love local musicians," he says. "And for Pegstar, it is part and parcel for us to do whatever we can to get as many of them in front of people."
Beyond that, Katial says it's not just the local performers who give FPSF its distinct identity, but that fans play an important role in determining who they see there.
"Whats the population in Houston now, 4.5M?", asks Katial, who swears FPSF is booked through 2017. "Not to sound like a pretentious play-cater, but I'm mostly serious. It's very much about feeling the pulse of the city, taking feedback."
Story continues on the next page.

If you're dying to know who might be at FPSF this year, though, this little nugget might offer a little insight. For the past couple of years, Katial says that in addition to Pegstar's local staff, he and partner Omar Afra have begun working with a couple of people from Red Light Management, "to take the festival to the next level." Red Light is an international talent-management agency with offices in New York, Nashville, London and several other cities; and that "partners" in a similar fashion with almost a dozen other festivals besides FPSF. A separate arm of the company manages several clients with new albums out this year, including the Decemberists, Belle & Sebastian, Borgore, Tiësto, Justin Townes Earle, JD McPherson and Brandi Carlisle.
All of them would not only make ideal FPSF acts, but are probably within its price range. On the other hand, Katial says it was Afra who came up with the "Welcome to Houston" set by a half-dozen local rap heavyweights, a move he calls "pretty genius" and that turned out to be the No. 1 takeaway moment from last year's fest for many, many people. Beyond that, the only hint Katial will drop is that the first act they signed comes from Austin, "and he is a big one for us." They started booking this year's festival the week after FSPF 2014 was over, and went from there.
"Booking the festival is about as fun and painful as trying to build a Lego set while skydiving," Katial says. "It takes hundreds and hundreds of hours of moving slots around, dead-end convos, research, and simply thinking, 'This makes no sense -- you can't have those two bands playing at the same time."
But if that wasn't enough, Katial has also been readying the multi-stage venue off North Main that was announced last August and that Pegstar is planning to open in a few more months, around the turn of 2016. He hasn't broken ground yet and won't reveal its name ("very close to announcing") or share any artists' visualizations of the place ("soon"), but will allow that the venue will have "three spaces of varied size and capacity to enjoy music" and an "insane" amount of parking -- "the first and most important logistical issue we are dealing with," he says.
"More than I could have ever imagined [has] started," adds Katial. "Very exciting and new."

What's Left of Right?
Karen's Note: The following is a post from a veteran-turned-pastor friend. Many of you regular readers are already familiar with Roger. Please feel free to share your thoughts with him. I know he'd like to engage with you on these matters. Roger lives and serves in Portland.
On the Good News of Jesus from Matthew 5:21-37, Deut. 30:15-20, Psalm 119:1-8, 1 Cor. 3:1-9
–by Pastor Roger Fuchs
Author's note: The terms "left" and "right" in this piece should not be taken as synonyms for liberal and conservative terms of politics. Understand them as they are developed in the text. As we are biased to right-handedness, so we are biased to believe in the rightness of our own ideas, sometimes to great harm. My friend Karen has a term for this, the religion of "certainosity". There is a bit of it about these days…

text: Avery Dennison introduces pressure-sensitive label materials for the craft beer industry. (Photo: Business Wire)The new portfolio provides breweries a wide range of label materials, plus the ability to create unique label shapes and utilize dynamic printing and finishing capabilities that only pressure-sensitive materials can provide. The portfolio's materials include paper and film facestocks that meet market demand for wet-strength and sustainable items. These options allow brand owners to obtain their most desired look, be it with clear film or a paper-faced material. Five of the portfolio's facestocks are paired with Avery Dennison's new Z3338 emulsion adhesive, which enables craft beer brand owners to secure pressure-sensitive label materials on surfaces with heavy condensation. Compared to adhesives currently used with beer-bottle labels, Z3338 provides in-line, wet-applied label positioning that improves operational efficiencies, including ease of setup and cleanup, reduced line downtime, changeover simplicity and less product obsolescence. "Successful marketers drive consumer preference by differentiating their brand packaging, which is very important for success in a crowded segment such as craft beer," said Laura Clark, global director, Beer and Beverage for Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials. "Through their ability to accept multiple printing techniques and accents, pressure-sensitive label materials can help deliver that differentiation allowing brands to create unique, meaningful on-bottle stories that connect with consumers." To maximize the advantages of pressure-sensitive labeling, Avery Dennison offers brand owners technical expertise and package prototyping assistance.

Normally, I'm the kind of person who doesn't like MMOs, seeing several of my friends become super addicted to World of Warcraft. One of them stopped eating for a few days, that didn't end well, so I was initially extremely skeptical about BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic. However, a few of my friends showed me videos, screenshots, and whole nine yards about the game, and I couldn't resist buying it, and I've pretty much been doing that most of the day. Well after I sorted out an issue with the graphic cards on my desktop. How was I supposed to know the drivers for them were two and a half years old... Curse hard drive crashes.
Anyway, I'm not very far, still on the Jedi start world of Tython, but so far I'm quite impressed. The lag is a bit bad at times, but overall I have to say that BioWare really knew what they were doing when they created it. The worlds, characters, and well a lot of things, even on low texture quality, are still very good and I only expect it to improve as I get further along.
I'm currently playing as a Jedi Councilor and plan to go to the Shadow Specialization.
Don't worry, I will remember to eat, sleep, and other things that we as humans have to do. Like plot to take over the world...
So I'm just asking, did anyone else here pick this up, is going to pick it up, and what is their personal opinions about it. I would like that regardless of whether or not you played it.
Update: Well, it's been a while since I started playing and I have to admit, that I am quite impressed with a lot of elements within the game. The only minor complaints I have is that the people I would like to play with, aren't on as often as I would like, but hey, that's life. The graphics are really well polished, the levels are incredibly detailed, and apart from a patch hiccup last week, it's been relatively smooth. Granted the game hasn't been out for a month yet, so things can still happen, but for now, things are quite smooth. I would recommend this game to anyone looking to pick up a BioWare game.
The reason I haven't mentioned the great stories that it provides for each of the eight classes, along with some of the interesting things for the side quests is because saying that a BioWare game has a great story, is like saying the sky is blue. BioWare games have that reputation of having epic stories, so if it doens't have one, then you can talk about it. Lancer1289 18:40, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
Update: Well it's been a short time, but the reason I come here again is because I think either people have a distinct lack of creativity, or they like things too much. I have now seen every member of the squad, from all games. Unless Wrex, T'Soni, Vega, Tali, or Kasumi were popular names in the Star Wars Universe before, I think some people just have a lack of creativity. There's a random name generator you know...
I've also seen a number of names from other franchises, Hawke, Marcus, Lone Wanderer, Master Chief (no I'm not kidding), to name a few, and a few NPC from ME as well. It is surprising the number of people who draw things from other places. Granted, I'm no wiz when it comes to names, I'm absolutely horrible at it, but even with a RNG, you think people could come up with something that's not a blatant rip off...
All that aside, what do you think? Lack of creativity? They like things to much? Or something else I haven't thought of?

GameStop Makes a Fistful of Money, Then Watches Stock Plunge
Dallas-based Blockbuster has its problems; so noted. But Grapevine-based GameStop's doing all right, all right, all right for itself: Today, the seller of video game stuffs posted ginormous second-quarter income figures -- $57.2 million, or damned near three times what it brought in this time last year. Did amazingly well; outperformed all expectations; should do boffo biz from here till the end of '08.
Only, not so fast. Because the stock's down today, to $42.93 at the time of this posting -- a drop of 59 cents, a whole 1.36 percent. Er, uh, WTF? Well, as The Wall Street Journal points out, the drop is "a sign the results and outlook may not be good enough for investors amid worries that the slowing economy will pinch sales of videogame titles and consoles." And TheStreet.com provides further analysis concerning the declining margins. In related news, whatever happened to its "Starbucks of videogame stores" makeover? In sorta-related news, just how much do you like you Wii? --Robert Wilonsky
