I figure that with the shape the United States is in right now, it's only a matter of time before we lose one of the four major North American sports leagues. I'm not saying this will happen tomorrow, or even at all, but it's a risk. Now we all know that the NFL and MLB aren't going anywhere, so really it will probably be either the NBA or the NHL if it happens.
I hate the fucking NBA. Let me just get that out there from the get-go so there is no question of my bias against pro basketball. The first three quarters in an NBA basketball game do not matter in the least. It's like that bullshit show Family Feud where no matter how much ass a family is kicking, they still risk losing it all in the "Triple Round". An NBA 4th quarter is a cheap knock-off of Family Feud's "Triple Round."
Then there's the ridiculous pre-game ritual of everyone giving each other a ghetto hug. What. The. Fuck? Sports are about competition and wanting to win so bad that you would rip your opponent's brain out of their skull if you had the technology. Apparently this isn't the case in the NBA. Apparently in the NBA, everyone is good friends and they all play tag in the arena before the game.
I just realized that if I keep writing this rant I'm pretty much going to ruin the whole point of this post: An NBA/NHL comparison. If one of these leagues has to go, I believe the American people should consult this comparison before doing anything drastic. The point system is based on whatever the fuck I want and is as follows: The NBA is going to lose. If you are an NBA fan, go into this with no hope whatsoever...
1. Mullets VS Cornrows
The Mullet:
The Corn Row:
Both of these are retarded hair styles. One makes your head look like a 70's porn actor's bush and the other makes your head look like a heroin addict's forearm. I'm going to have to give this one to the mullet because you can roll out of bed, run your hands through it a couple of times, and you're good to go. With cornrows you need 4 hours of spare time and a loud, black aunt.
2. Extensive Padding VS. Sleeves on Only One Arm
NHL Shoulder Pads:
NBA Arm Sleeves:
Result: Can you even believe we have to do this? "This" being: Compare a sport like hockey to a "sport" like basketball? Hockey players go out on the ice decked head to toe in armor that would rival the baddest medieval knight, meanwhile basketball players shield themselves with...a sleeve...on one arm only. Jesus. Christ.
3. Missing Backcheck Support VS Missing Child Support Checks
Result: The cardinal sin for a forward in hockey is not hustling back to their zone on the backcheck. In basketball, the cardinal sin is paying out even a dime of support to your vast amounts of bastard children.
4. Bob Probert VS Latrell Sprewell
This is Bob Probert:
This is Latrell Sprewell:
Result: Bob Probert was arrested for cocaine possession and crashed his motorcycle while driving it drunk, both while still an active player in the NHL. In recent years he was also arrested for breach of peace, resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer. On the ice he was just as dangerous. He fought NHL enforcer, Stu Grimson, 13 times. He once had a fight with Marty McSorley that lasted over 100 seconds. If you're saying, "that doesn't sound like a long time," I encourage you to go stand on a sheet of ice and throw haymakers at a speed bag for 100 seconds.
Latrell Sprewell was a notorious choker and that's saying nothing about his ability to perform in the clutch. It all began when he treated his coach, P.J. Carlesimo, like a $3 hooker choking him and shaking his body around violently. A couple years ago he was also charged with choking a 21-year-old female on his luxury yacht. Additionally, he was sued for $200 million in child support for four children. See? NBA Players don' take care of their little bastards, I told you man. Sprewell is now broke and contemplating a return to the NBA.
Both of these guys are bat shit fucking bananas. It's a tie.
5. Players That Look Like Old Lesbians VS Players That Look Like New Lesbians
Here's some NHL players that look like old lesbians...
Now here are some NBA players that look like new lesbians:
Result: In the game of lesbian doppelgangers, no one wins.
6. Puck Bunnies VS The WNBA
Here are some puck bunnies aka NHL groupies:
Here are some WNBA "women":
Result: First of all, I'm pretty sure that last one is Tracy Morgan in drag. Anyways, the puck bunnies win this one easily. The NBA has Eva Longoria. Big deal. The NHL has Hilary Duff, Elisha Cuthbert, and Rachel Hunter.
7. Sean Avery VS. Dennis Rodman
This is Sean Avery
This is Dennis Rodman (click for enlarged version):
Result: Sean Avery is The Pest. Dennis Rodman was The Worm. Tremendously flattering nicknames, I know. Avery is famous for getting in the faces of goaltenders, pissing off opponents, and ridiculing his peers publicly.
Dennis Rodman is famous for grabbing rebounds and being a general weirdo freak. He got married in a woman's wedding dress. He also has a ton of tattoos and piercings, and once wrestled in the WCW. Yes, that is Karl Malone in the ring with him in that picture.
Both of these men are utterly repulsive. Tie Again.
8. Penalties VS. Fouls
Here's what an NHL penalty looks like:
Now let's take a look at an NBA foul:
Result: One of these things looks like a massive wreck of carnage and blood and guts; the other one looks like what a 7th grader does to a 5th grader before he takes his lunch.
Look at the pain in Kobe's eyes while that other guy slaps his elbow. What a pussy. Now look at Martin Erat getting his face grated between a 200-pound man on skates and his own shoulder blade.
When NBA players get fouled, they have tears in their eyes. When NHL players are the victims of a penalty, they have blood in their eyes.
9. NHL Fights VS NBA "Fights"
Observe an NHL fight:
Okay now here's a link to an NBA fight because they are so rare I couldn't even find one to embed in this post:
See the NBA "Fight" HERE
Result: Yeah that NBA one is about as rough as it gets (Palace of Auburn Hills fiasco notwithstanding). That Pacers/Pistons brawl is an outlier, and it doesn't count since fans had to get in there and take matters into their own hands to see some fists fly. NBA fights are what I'd imagine two gymnastics teams mixing it up would be like. When your "sister" league is more violent than your own, you deserve negative points.
The NHL, on the other hand, is a ruthless bloodsport with no holds barred. It's badass enough to be sponsored by Jean Claude Van Damme. In the video above, Nick Kypreos has his career ended during the course of one single fight. I could go through the spectrum of violence in the NHL, but there's way too many things to link to. Just go explore on youtube.
If it has to be one or the other, please make it the NHL. It is SOOOOOO much better.
If you need to waste more time today, I have updated the time wasting links on the right. Be warned though, right after I updated them, I called each one of your bosses and told them to keep an eye on you today.

The NBA VS The NHL
I figure that with the shape the United States is in right now, it's only a matter of time before we lose one of the four major North American sports leagues. I'm not saying this will happen tomorrow, or even at all, but it's a risk. Now we all know that the NFL and MLB aren't going anywhere, so really it will probably be either the NBA or the NHL if it happens.

solid arguments… but i love both sports equally. agreed with The Capt., though... you're not working with a level playing field when comparing smokin' hot breezer skeezers vs. wnba players. the same comparison could be made between a Laker Girl and well, there isn't a WNHL, but you get my drift. NBA cheerleaders and groupies are every bit as hot as NHL puckfucks.

MLB fights are just as hilarious and NBA fights. I like how it's considered "sticking up for your teammates" when a pitcher throws at an opposing batter. The NHL equivalent is called "blocking a shot" and its every player's job.

Music to slash to...
Not quite as scary as when Jason does it.
About a week before season 5 ended Showtime started promoting season 6 of
"Dexter" but on October 6th we finally get some new action. In preparation of this event the Show people have released a brand spanking new promo clip and I'm not going to lie Mos Def and Colin Hanks have my sexy parts all a buzz with excitement. Not in a weird way. A completely natural way. Get your mind out of the gutter.
"Warm Bodies" is a book by Mr. Isaac Marion about a zombie in love with a living girl and it looks like good old John Malkovich has signed on to a play the role of the bad guy in the big screen adaptation. I've never read the book so that's all I got. Please note your bill does not include tip.
Oh you go to hell Hollywood. You go to hell and die! It looks like there's some rumblings in the valley that the next installment of the "Friday the 13th" series is being reworked to use found footage. Nothing's been confirmed yet and a script hasn't been sold so let's all hold hands and pray this doesn't happen. Why yes I do use moisturizer. Thank you for noticing.
I don't think anyone knows what to make of "The Thing" prequel yet but if the new clip that was just released is any indication it looks like the flick will be loaded with crappy jump scares. Well alright maybe some people know what to make of it. The rest of us are still trying to figure out how to watch a video on this stupid iPad. It's like a really expensive coaster.
Throw another shrimp on the barbie my friends because it looks like the long awaited sequel to Greg McLean's 2005 Australian camper chop fest "Wolf Creek" is finally getting some funding. I haven't seen the original yet but it's currently sitting at 31 in my Netflix queue so that could change any month now. Check back for updates.
Get out your checkbook you shopaholic skanks because another "Friday the 13th" box set is on its way on October 8th. Much like every other set you've paid for this one will only include the films up to 8 but unlike the others it'll feature hockey mask packaging, collectible booklet and be limited to only 50,000 copies. Sorry about the skank comment.
The feel good hit of 2009 "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" is finally finding its way to VOD on August 3rd thanks for the fine people at IFC Midnight. For those of you not familiar with the family friendly hit it tells the tale of four friends whose plans for a fun night out get ruined when they discover a... wait for it... dead hooker in a trunk. Are you as turned on as I am right now? I'm sorry again about the skank thing.
If there is one movie that people have been demanding and begging for it's "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance", the sequel to the 2007 Oscar snubbed comic book adaptation staring Nic Cage. Well now the movie is in the works and today we've got our grubby little paws on a gaggle of new images from the soon to be classic. Man it's been the hottest news day ever today, hasn't it?
Jumping the Shark

Every Halloween season, I always look forward to AMC Fearfest. Fearfest kicks off on Monday, October 18 and runs through Sunday, October 31.
As Andy Williams once sang, "It's the most wonderful time of the year"! Sure, he was talking about a different holiday, but I think you'll all agree with me that the statement is just as fitting for Halloween! It's a time to get spooky, a time to get scary.
Good news for those who loathed the "Friday the 13th" remake: According to producer Brad Fuller, the follow-up to Marcus Nispel's unpopular reimagining has been effectively shutdown until further notice. I doubt few tears will be shed over this news. Very few.
Fans of tasteless and depraved cinema, listen up. The latest round of promotions for Jen and Sylvia Soska's debut "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" are both disturbing and strangely hilarious. The film might be a giant piece of crap, but they've definitely ensnared my attention.
Considering that Alexandre Aja's "Piranha 3D" is only a few months away, you'd think the studio behind the remake would be promoting the hell out of the thing. Thankfully, a load of promotional images from the moderately promising reboot have finally begun making the proverbial rounds. Call me crazy, but I'm starting to have my doubts.
Generally speaking, a poster for an upcoming big-budget Hollywood remake isn't much of a news item. However, the latest "Clash of the Titans" poster is seriously badass, and worthy of your attention. Medusa would be proud.
British zombie fans, rejoice! Apparently, George A. Romero's upcoming "Survival of the Dead" will infect Region 2 DVD players on March 15th, 2010. Stateside fanatics, I'm afraid, may have a while to wait.
If, for some strange reason, Oren Peli's "Paranormal Activity" left you wanting more, be sure to check out the new digital comic book available exclusively on iTunes. Remember: That's boredom you're experiencing, not demonic possession.
Those jonesing for another installment of the new "Friday the 13th" franchise aren't going to be happy, as the sequel to Marcus Nispel's dodgy remake has been moved to an undetermined date. Given the film's lukewarm reception, I'm honestly not surprised.

An early pic of an alleged qualification sample Haswell CPU has made it to the internet, according to a Slovak website.
According to information published on OBR Hardware the Haswell chip is not only much larger than the upcoming Ivy Bridge, it also has a GPU area twice as large as the one on Ivy Bridge, which on the other hand Intel is promising to be 30 percent higher than current Sandy Bridge CPUs. Qualification Sampling is the last step before mass production of a CPU to production.
OBR Hardware suggests the Ivy Bridge die is 162mm2 while Haswell comes in at 185mm2 (however, we've seen actual measurements of 172mm2 for the Ivy Bridge), so looking at the photo we can guesstimate the it is a rather accurate measurement.
The Ivy Bridge core is also estimated to pack 1.4 billion transistors, which doing some rough maths, would put the Haswell chip at 1.5 billion or so. The photo also shows off densely packed cache on the top of the package, instead of the bottom, which can indicate that Intel is piling on a lot more cache for performance and/or simply rejigging the pinouts on the bottom once more.
Ivy Bridge, as you may recall, will be the first CPU to feature FinFET (or '3D') transistors, the 22nm die shrink from Sandy Bridge. It has also been confirmed that Intel has been volume manufacturing Ivy Bridge since late 2011, so 22nm manufacturing is taking place as we speak, readying the CPUs for the April release. Haswell, on the other hand should be a new architecture, although our Slovak colleagues do consider it to be a 'core-tweaked Sandy Bridge on steroids'.

- Published Version
A finite element lattice Boltzmann scheme was developed for the incompressible viscous fluid flow. The work was based on the two-dimensional nine-microvelocity lattice model (D2Q9). The simulations of simple fluid flow problems were carried out to validate the proposed approach. The results are compared well with the analytical solutions.

The Old Spice "head to toes" Stairs commercial is about a mandroid, half-man/half-robot, who says he loves human women and explains that he uses Old Spice products all over his body to smell like a real human man. Thanks to Old Spice anti-perspirant and deodorant, body wash and 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, mandroid is irresistible. He misses a step in a high-end restaurant and falls, landing atop an occupied table for two. He asks the woman, "Is this seat taken?" She gets a whiff of the Old Spice and replies, "It is now." Yes, Old Spice Swagger does it again!
Wearing Old Spice from head to toes is the mandroid's favorite combinations for success…"And, now I'm really cool," he tells us. Old Spice, the manliest men's grooming brand on the planet, is back to inform guys that when they use Old Spice anti-perspirant and deodorant, body wash and 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, the result is manly, amazing, and irresistible freshness from head to toes. Did you know Old Spice comes in different scents like Swagger, Figi, Pure Sport and Wolfthorn? I agree with mandroid, I think the cool factor is there. Then for our more discerning gentlemen there's the Old Spice Original, a classic scent. So what are your favorite combinations for success?
Old Spice did a survey asking men, 18-35 years old, about their favorite manly combinations to get a given desired result. The question I liked most asked the guys what was their top choice to fix almost anything. 40% chose the combination of a hammer and nails. This inspired me to make a list of successful combinations. I wanted to see what I could come up with. This one goes out to all the amazing nurses out there: A successful combination for good healthcare starts with a nurse who has a big heart, a stethoscope and a watch! Hey, always thank your nurse!!! My successful combination?, you ask. Like the mandroid, I do think scent is really important. An amazing smelling perfume or cologne, the perfect outfit and a really great pair of shoes can help you make your power move to close almost any deal. I usually start with my shoes – Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world – Bette Midler. You can watch more Mandroid videos on the Old Spice Youtube channel.

where the vertex is at (h, k) and it opens upward if a > 0 and opens downward if a < 0.
So the vertex of is at (-4, -7) and a = 1. Thus it opens upward. So it must be decreasing on and increasing on .

Beltre said that his shoulder, which he injured in the ninth inning of Game 1 of the doubleheader Sunday, feels better today. He left Game 2 after jumping for a Mark Trumbo line drive that went in and out of his glove and knocked the glove off his hand.
"I was feeling it the whole game," Beltre said. "I am ready today. It's October. I'm sure everybody's got something they're going through."
Michael Young, who also left early Sunday, said that his left Achilles tendon is sore but better. He exited because he felt his range would have been limited with the Rangers trying to protect a lead.

Three quick updates on recent posts – the salvage of the USS Guardian is finally underway, Shell Oil has cancelled plans for Alaskan arctic drilling for 2013 due to rig problems; and the Emma Mærsk has arrived at a shipyard for repairs after engine room flooding in the Suez Canal.
After running aground on a reef in the Philippines' Tubbataha National Marine Park on January 17, the salvage of the Navy minesweeper USS Guardian is finally underway. Crane ships will break the ship up in place. The salvage was delayed by bad weather and the time required to assemble the salvage vessels. The Philippine Coast Guard has set a target deadline of March 23 for the removal of the ship. Read more at – PCG confident of beating deadline for USS Guardian's dismantling
Shell Oil has given up on drilling for oil in the Alaskan arctic for at least 2013. We posted about the New Year's Eve grounding of the Shell drilling rig Kulluk on the east coast of Sitkalidak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. We also posted about the problems with Shell's drill ship Noble Discoverer which was cited by the Coast Guard for significant failures with pollution control equipment and crew safety. Reuters is reporting that U.S. federal prosecutors have now been asked to take legal action over safety and environmental violations discovered on Noble Discoverer. Both ships will be taken to yards in Asia for repairs.
At the beginning of February we posted about the 14,700 TEU container ship Emma Mærsk flooded her engine room and lost power at the northern end of the Suez Canal. There was initial concern that the ship, one of the largest container ships in the world might sink and block the canal, but tugs were dispatched and ship was safely towed to a berth in Port Said. The flooding which covered the engine room with 16 meters of water is believed to have been caused by damage to the port stern thruster. The ship has now been towed to Fincantieri Repair Yard in Palermo, Sicily where engine room repairs are expected to take roughly four months. 'Emma Maersk' in Palermo

Wow! The Winery Dogs: Kotzen, Sheehan, Portnoy
Shazam! You hear/see this yet? Hipped to this by my friend the Buzzard. It's good! And who knew Ritchie Kotzen – or anyone – could sound like Chris Cornell??
Here's a bit about what Blabbermouth has to say about the band, project, whatever you call it:
> THE WINERY DOGS, the new project featuring Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ADRENALINE MOB), Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG) and Richie Kotzen (MR. BIG, POISON), will release its debut album in May in Japan via Victor Entertainment. Release dates for other territories have not yet been announced.
> THE WINERY DOGS' CD was mixed by Jay Ruston, who has previously worked with ANTHRAX, ADRENALINE MOB, STONE SOUR and STEEL PANTHER. Sheehan previously stated about the effort: "I'm really pleased with it. Richie sang his ass off and played amazingly unique stuff, and, of course Mike annihilated on drums. [It's a] really cool, unique record."
> At the end of 2011, Portnoy and Sheehan tapped Kotzen to be the guitarist/vocalist of their new project following the departure of John Sykes (WHITESNAKE, BLUE MURDER, THIN LIZZY).
> Portnoy said, "I love John personally, and we get along great — he's a sweetheart of a guy — but I need to keep moving. I can't sit still and kind of wait to make an album over the next three years, I need to put things on the calendar and move forward and get them done, and John's kind of just a 'wait, wait, wait' guy. Sadly, it kind of just stopped in its tracks, and Billy and I said, 'Look, let's do something.' And [Eddie Trunk]…actually…suggested Richie Kotzen and I thought it was a brilliant suggestion, because he's an unbelievably underrated talent, not only [as] a guitar player but a phenomenal singer, and just an amazing songwriter and artist. I think people just kind of lump him, or write him off as the guy that was with POISON and MR. BIG. I think they have no idea what he's really capable of."
> Portnoy said, "It's a classic-rock kind of power-trio sound. If you picture the classic-rock bands of… the classic ones — [LED] ZEPPELIN, CREAM, [JIMI] HENDRIX, GRAND FUNK [RAILROAD] — if you take that classic-rock power-trio sound of the early '70s, and then you sprinkle it on top with some of the modern kind of sounds of SOUNDGARDEN and ALICE IN CHAINS or BLACK CROWES or LENNY KRAVITZ… It's in that vein; it's kind of a [mixture] of all of those bands."

One of the best live shows I've seen in a while! Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale about a month ago. Kotzen playing a Tele, with his fingers (no pick, Beck style!) through a Marshall Super Lead stack. Couldn't see or hear any pedals, but I think he used a wah or some wah-type filter knob on the guitar itself. THICK sound! Throw in Sheehan on bass, always awesome, and Portnoy's antics (never been a Dream Theater fan, but a HUGE Portnoy fan!) are always a treat to witness! Great show, great band and the album is awesome. Glad to see them get some love here.

Reviewed by: Michelle
The day I turned 16, my boyfriend-to-be died. I brought him back to life. Then things got a little weird…
Molly Bartolucci wants to blend in, date hottie Rick and keep her zombie-raising abilities on the down-low. Then the god Anubis chooses her to become a reaper—and she accidentally undoes the work of another reaper, Rath. Within days, she's shipped off to the Nekyia Academy, an elite boarding school that trains the best necromancers in the world. And her personal reaping tutor? Rath.
Life at Nekyia has its pluses. Molly has her own personal ghoul, for one. Rick follows her there out of the blue, for another…except, there's something a little off about him. When students at the academy start to die and Rath disappears, Molly starts to wonder if anything is as it seems. Only one thing is certain—-Molly's got an undeadly knack for finding trouble….
Quick & Dirty: A different take on zombies. Fell short of my expectations but kept me interested enough.
Opening Sentence: So, my…um, friend gave me a diary for my sixteenth birthday because, apparently, it's a necromancer tradition.
Excerpt: Yes
The Review:
Michele Vail's Undeadly has a good premise. An ability to raise zombies? I've never really heard of that concept before. A story that brings in Anubis? Count me in! And let me just say that I am attracted to the cover. Undeadly was a highly anticipated book that I've heard so much about, so when I received a copy, I was pretty excited. But a part of me didn't love it. I felt like there were a few things that fell short of my reading expectations.
In an alternate reality, Molly Bartolucci comes from a line ka hekas, a person who reanimates dead bodies using a small part of the soul. In this world where necromancers and reapers are a part of the norm, Molly has lived in this life that isn't considered a part of folklore. Upon her sixteenth birthday, her life as she knows it changes. Molly becomes Anabis chosen through a dream. She meets her grandparents for the first time. And, she enrolls in an exclusive Academy for reapers and the like. Molly is no longer a regular girl, she is becoming someone.
Molly wasn't someone that I instantly connected with. The first few chapters had me questioning what type of heroine Molly was. She was a typical sixteen year-old, living in a time where nothing went her way. But as most sixteen year-old girls, she had a crush, whom died at her birthday party. Don't worry, Molly brought the soul back to the body. Molly's voice was a little too much for me. It could be my age different with hers, but I found it to be a little too immature.
Undeadly had several hits and misses for me. I felt that the plot went in different directions, while attempting to stay on a straight line. The beginning, the middle, and the end felt jagged and disconnected from one another, only having Molly as the common thread. There was so much potential from the start, and when Anubis was involved, I got excited. Visits in a dream, quests, legacies, it all played a part in making this story great. I just felt that there was something that fell short.
I did love how Vail wrote about about zombies and reapers, making this paranormal different. In this genre, where it's filled with vampires, angels, and evil fae, it was refreshing. There was a twist that wasn't expected, and filled with occasional folklore, I enjoyed the overall story.
Life changes for everyone, and it's a symbol that resonates throughout Undeadly. There are challenges that Molly faces, as well as some of the other characters. Molly accepts her fate and the outcome is quite surprising. At the end, I felt that there was enough mystery to keep me interested.
Notable Scene:
"Tell her." The edict came from Sandra, of course. She straightened away from her husband and turned that chilly blue gaze toward us. "She needs to know."
I wasn't sure I could take another info bomb. I mean, I was a sort-of reaper, except for the dead
part, my grandparents had been prevented from seeing me for some mysterious reason, I had to go to a boarding school because of my stupid special-ness, and…now what? I turned toward my father.
That terrible sorrow in his eyes deepened until I saw nothing but grief. And tears. My father was
gonna cry. My anger fled and anxiety filled up its empty place. "Daddy?"
"That's right," he said. "I'm your daddy. Always will be." He sucked in a breath. "But you're not
my biological child, Mol."

| The late John Eckel Jr., Copano Energy founder.(Company photo)
Copano Energy said Sunday that Chairman and CEO John R. Eckel, Jr. died at the age of 58. Eckel had been on a medical leave of absence since November 4 and recently suffered liver failure. Here's his obituary that ran in today's Chronicle.
According to a company press release Eckel founded Copano Energy in 1992 and served as president and CEO until April 2003, when he added the chairman title.
Copano grew from a single 23-mile pipeline to a successful midstream natural gas company with over 6,000 miles of pipeline and seven processing plants in Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming and Louisiana. Mr. Eckel was also an industry innovator, as evidenced by the fact that Copano was the first midstream company to trade publicly as a limited liability company.
In 2006 Eckel told the Chronicle the company was born back when he had the opportunity to buy a gas pipeline serving wells he owned. This gave him an idea – that relations between pipelines and producers didn't have to be confrontational.
"Before that first purchase, Eckel said, he was worried about what might happen if that 23-mile long line serving his gas wells was sold to someone else. After he took control 'we wound up luring additional producers to the pipeline.' Eckel said he won over customers by listening to their concerns and addressing them.
One incentive for Copano workers to stay on with the company is a policy offering stock options to every employee, including the receptionists. Only one person there is exempted: the CEO. As the biggest shareholder, Eckel explains, 'I don't need options.'"
According to the company Eckel also served on the board of directors and on the executive committee of the Texas Pipeline Association, and as president and chief executive officer of Live Oak Reserves, Inc., an exploration and production company that he founded in 1986.
Eckel received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia University and was employed in various corporate finance positions in New York prior to entering the energy industry in 1979.
Copano's Board has appointed R. Bruce Northcutt, the company's president and chief operating officer, as president and CEO and a member of the board of directors. Additionally, William L. Thacker, who has served on Copano's Board since the company's initial public offering, has been elected chairman.

Anything but the pants the model is wearing in that picture... *shrug*
I'm a jeans guy, so if it was me I'd pair it with jeans and boots. I'm picturing a pair of slim/straight dark indigo or black jeans and a pair of Combat or Chelsea boots. Then under the jacket perhaps a knitted sweater, a dark shirt, (with or without a tie) or just a simple t-shirt.
I'm sure that jacked could also look good with a pair of grey suit pants, a shirt and tie for that dressed down look.

Entering through the kitchen, there's a sofa table, x base ottomans, and yellow lamps. The sofa table base is from Holly & Martin. The other week, I found a few pieces of marble on Craigslist, one piece was the exact width and just 4" short (it's like it was meant to be!!), so I swapped out the top and just added two strips of painted wood on the ends. It looks like it was always like that!
The aluminum M was found at a local vintage shop.
We recently added a fabric panel behind the T.V. Referencing one of my favorite prints, I drew the pattern in Photoshop, and got it printed through Spoonflower.
We recently finished a TV stand - a modified Ikea Expedit (we've been planning to do it for a while .. before the Expedit was discontinued! Tutorial on Infarrantly Creative).
Love the size, added durability with plywood and the height of the TV is perfect! It also covers all the outlets (about 4) behind the TV, we just have internet, so one outlet is all we need!
The diving helmet was an ice bucket found at the thrift store. It's the perfect planter for succulents!
When I picked up the marble pieces, the seller was also selling a few other things. I can't believe this mother of pearl inlay table was only $5!
I hope you enjoyed the tour! Fabric panel wall tutorial tomorrow!!

Red Hawks soar to GTW title
Published 8:00 pm, Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Tribune Sports Writer
MARLETTE — Winning the Greater Thumb West cross country championship is the first step for the Cass City girls squad.
At least that's what the Red Hawks are hoping.
They showed their balance here Tuesday at Marlette Golf Course, putting five runners in the top 15 as they scored 40 points. Reese was next with 49 points, followed by Bad Axe (61) and Vassar (67).
Coach Amy Cuthrell is hoping the victory will propel her squad to a regional championship next week, and a solid showing at the state finals.
"We're grateful that we have this under our belt, we look forward to regionals," said Cuthrell. "I expect this team to make it to the state meet."
Tuesday, Cass City was once again led by freshman Alyssa Bennett, who easily placed first with a time of 19:48, nearly a minute ahead of the next runner.
"People didn't know who she was, she was really an unknown," Cuthrell said. "She has wowed even me. I don't get wowed often, but she's just a great kid.
See AREA • PAGE 3B "I don't know where she can go, I have yet to see her limits.
"I'm excited to see her at the state meet because then, she will have the competition she needs to be the best in Cass City history."
Ashley Potts was sixth (21:15) while Jessa Prieskorn placed seventh (21:16) to each earn first team honors.
Potts and Prieskorn, both juniors, have become the leaders of the team and have embraced Bennett and the other freshmen.
"They have been inspired and pushed by Alyssa," Cuthrell said.
Runners placing first through seventh were named to the first team, eighth through 14 were second team while 15th through 21st were honorable mention.
Ashtyn Janiskee was 11th (22:39) while Becca Leslie finished 15th (23:21).
For Bad Axe, Hailey Richards was second (20:44) while Cassie Hanson also earned first team honors, finishing fourth (20:58).
Heather Smith was second team, placing 12th (23:00).
Franzi Keppler 25th (25:16) and Morgan Messing 26th (26:15) rounded out the runners who placed for the Hatchets.
Unionville-Sebewaing Area had Amanda DeSimpelare in 17th (23:32) and Taylor Anker 19th (24:01).
Noel Wolschlager was honorable mention for Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port in 20th (24:07). Alexis Moore placed 24th (25:11) and Shea St. Cyr was 32nd (27:43).
On the boys side in the GTW, Reese took home the championship with 28 points, followed by Vassar (44), USA (55) and Cass City (99).
The Patriots were led by Hayden Ewald, who was the top runner for the GTW with a time of 17:32.
Seth Squires was 12th (18:56), followed by Marshall Rochefort 13th (18:59), Tyler Harris 15th (19:24), Nick DeSimpelare 18th (19:34) and Dominic James 20th (19:54).
Cass City was led by Eric Churchill in 11th (18:52), followed by Mike Potrykus 21st (20:22) and Trevor Brown 23rd (20:47).
For Bad Axe, Jeremy Pawlowski earned first team honors, placing sixth (18:27). Also for the Hatchets, Charlie Prich was 26th (21:56).
Marlette swept the Greater Thumb East championships.
On the girls side, the Red Raiders scored 40 points, followed by Mayville (44), Sandusky (46) and Brown City (88).
Ubly had Sara Doyle finish 13th (23:49), Leah Osentoski 14th (23:57) and Vanessa Ulfig 18th (24:34).
On the boys side, Marlette had 49 points, followed closely by Brown City (51), Mayville (52) and Ubly (70).
The Bearcats did have a pair of first teamers with Brandon Glaza in fifth (17:23) and John Creguer seventh (17:40).
Rounding out the finishers were Jason Rutkowski in 13th (18:35), Sam Sadriddini 22nd (20:34) and Henry Kenga 26th (25:52).

Discussion in 'Fly Tying' started by Jamie Wilson, Jun 24, 2013.
...between a muddler and a rolled muddler??
One is a homeless Muddler that was a victim of theft while it was passed out on the sidewalk ...
Seriously, I don't have any idea what the difference is. The ones I tie with a little modification works for me. I use coyote fur or natural buck tail for the wing instead of a quill. I also tie on a red tail. It's, of course, easier to tie and catches trout. Less is more.
The two were designed on different coasts for different species. The original Muddler tied by Don Gapen in the 30s looks nothing like a Rolled Muddler. The Muddler was tied specifically by Don to target brookies in Ontario while Tom Murray designed the Rolled Muddler (like in the 70 or 80s) for SRC in BC.
The Muddler uses turkey and squirrel while the Roller Muddler uses Mallard. Both share a deer hair head, which is spun and seems to be packed more tightly over the ages.
Tom Murray's Rolled Muddler is a beach stickleback imitation for SRC. One of the distinguishing features of the Rolled Muddler, in addition to the use of mallard instead of turkey as already mentioned, is the red thread which shows behind the head. Here is a close up photo of one of my RM illustrating this feature.
The head is generally "arrow" shaped and the wing should be "rolled".
Personally, I don't see much resemblance between Murray's Rolled Muddler and a stickleback, it still looks more like a sculpin imitation to me. For the heads on mine, I use the same technique that Harry Lemire used for his Thompson River Caddis which involves spinning deer hair into a dubbing loop, partially trimming it then winding it onto the hook before final trimming; works well.
Preston, there certainly is a resemblance to the sculpin and who knows what the cutthroat is thinking when he sees it????
This from Art Lingren:
One of my favorite flies. I counter rib the body with with silver wire. It helps the body last a lil longer.
Maybe it don't look pretty but it is definitely a go to SRC fly. I got clued into it by the Ospreys in joint fishing trips to the sun shine coast and it became one of my two favorite flys for SRC. Later on I found out it also works for trout in lakes and streams.....wouldn't be without it!
Thanks guys - but what the heck is "....rolled mallard"?
Is it how you tie it in or...??
Its a technique. When tying in this manner, a clump of mallard fibers will be pulled off. "Rolling" them between your fingers will separate the barbules and then they are tied on the hook.
Over in the UK, rolled mallard was also a technique but usually meant that the fibers were rolled around the hook using the thread, much like spinning deer, and used extensively on wets.
OK - I'm going to look into that a bit
I really like the fly for SRC
Thank you
Jamie, here is the Rolled Muddler pattern from Art Lingren's book "Fly Patterns of British Columbia"
It`s a great fly for Coho too .
Thank you Jack

Let's Get Started
Get More Things Done Fast! Quit Spinning Your Wheels and Going to Bed Feeling
Guilty You Wasted Your Day, Seeing More and More Stuff Pile Up In Your Life!
From: Susan Karim
If you give me just a few minutes of your time, I promise to deliver back to you so much more in return.
In just a moment, I will reveal to you a simple system you can begin using right now that will dramatically change your life.
This easy to use system will allow you to re-capture more hours in your day, more days in your week, and even more weeks in your year.
The system is the perfect solution for you if you regularly find yourself looking back at your life wondering what in the world happened to all your time and why you have very few results to show for it.
The system will help you take care of all the things you have to do on a regular basis, from the small stuff like checking email and reading the newspaper, to the more important tasks, like spending quality time with your family or building your business.
So, If you're ready to learn…
Here's The System!
The system consists of three simple steps:
1. Write down all the things you want to get done for the day. Include everything from filing, cleaning, writing bills, doing laundry, returning phone calls, or planning your next project to answering your email and balancing your checkbook.
2. Assign a specific amount of time to each task or group of tasks. Anything from 15 minutes to 2 hours. Blocks of 30 minutes or less work best.
3. Select a task, start a timer, and focus on nothing but accomplishing that task. This means you don't answer the phone, you don't get up for a drink and you don't log onto Facebook. You remain completely focused on the task-at-hand!
If you practice these three simple steps regularly, it will totally revolutionize the way you get things done in your life – guaranteed!
It's as if it awakens an unstoppable force inside you that's been asleep for way too long.
Review the three steps again, then take 30 seconds and allow the structure and purpose behind these three steps to sink in.
You'll instinctively see the genius in the system.
Now, I can probably guess your next question…
Why Does It Work So Well?
I'm not a psychologist, so I can't tell you exactly why this system works, but I can share with you what effect using it has on my brain to almost force it to want to take action on a consistent basis.
It boils down to these three key elements:
• An end-result or goal (each of your daily tasks) – Our brains love goals, big or small, because they're built to be goal-seeking machines. Give your brain a goal, and it immediately goes to work finding ways to achieve it.
• A specific timeframe or deadline (the time you assign each task) – Once your brain has a goal, a deadline is the fuel that motivates it to act! The shorter the deadline, the more revved up your brain gets.
• Believability (the order and structure of the system) – Instead of surrendering yourself to lackluster results because you see your day as an overwhelming, uncontrollable mess, this system breaks your day down into small, manageable pieces that you can actually see yourself getting done with ease. When you believe you can, you will!
When these three elements are brought together, the synergy completely transforms the way you psychologically and emotionally look at all the things you have to do. So much so, that after you've used it for a while, you almost feel yourself getting addicted to taking action.
I don't know about you, but that's a habit I can definitely live with!
"If you don't have daily objectives, you qualify as a dreamer."
– Zig Ziglar
"Action will destroy your procrastination."
– Og Mandino
Making The System Even Better
While the system itself is very powerful, when you use it every day, you begin noticing a few minor, pesky things about the manual approach that slow the process down a bit and make it feel clunky:
• You have to manually make a daily list the slow, "old-fashioned" way – with pen and paper.
• You have to remember what needs to be added to the list, including tasks you take care of on a regular basis.
• You have to find a timer (a watch or kitchen timer) and repeatedly set and reset it for each task.
• You have to constantly refer back to your daily list to manually cross off items that you've accomplished.
Because I personally experience the power of using this system, I knew others would benefit from it as well. But I also knew that some of these drawbacks, although seemingly minor, might either slow them down when using it, or prevent them from trying it altogether.
It's a well-established fact that the more your mind can visualize something, including your daily plan, the more real it becomes and the more likely you are to take action on it.
Fortunately, thanks to technology, all of these can be easily solved with software.
It became my mission to create an easy to use software based on the system with the following goals in mind:
• Working with and adding daily tasks had to be simple
• The setting and creation of timers had to be automated
• The completion of tasks needed to be tied to some sort of on-screen visual feedback
• The interface had to be intuitive and visually appealing
And here's the end result…
These 3 words represent exactly what My Action Timer is all about.
The goal behind My Action Timer is simple: to give you a way to visually structure your day in a way that you feel absolutely compelled to take action and get things done, once and for all!
When you use My Action Timer, there's no complicated time-management "system" you need to learn or remember.
All you need is:
1. A list of tasks – I'm sure you have plenty of those
2. Time to get them done – If you're breathing right now, I'll assume you have that
3. A finger to click your mouse – If you don't have one, I apologize
That's it!

How My Action Timer Lives Up To Its Name
• Flip The Action Switch In Your Head From "NO" To "YES" – No longer will overwhelmingly big tasks paralyze you from taking little to no action. Use My Action Timer to break these monsters into smaller, bite-sized pieces you WANT to eat!
• Laugh At Procrastination – Take any task you've been putting off, give yourself 30 minutes to get it done, start your timer, and watch what happens. This simple process, which My Action Timer automates, creates a "virtual" space in your brain for that task that you feel unexplainably compelled to fill with its completion!
• Sharpen Your Focus – Using My Action Timer regularly helps you get into the habit of eliminating productivity-killing distractions so you focus your concentration and energy to the task-at-hand.
• Build Unstoppable Momentum – With each task you complete using My Action Timer, you build up momentum that propels you to not only get more done, but get it done faster and more efficiently than ever!
• Get Your Brain Storming – Experience the liberating and revealing practice of brainstorming by setting aside a specific amount of time before starting any project. Even short, 15 minute brainstorming sessions can produce some eye-opening results.
• Control Your Time Instead Of It Controlling You – Using My Action Timer will help you to become more aware of how and where you spend your time each day. As you become more aware of your habits, you easily discover ways to use your time more productively, and eliminate previously hidden time-wasters.
• Find Balance In Your Life – Add more structure to every one of your days by purposely allotting specific blocks of time for work, play, and growth so that you avoid the frustration and unhappiness that comes from an unbalanced life.
• Make Time For Your Dreams – Are you neglecting your dreams and letting everything else gobble up your limited time, energy, and resources? Use My Action Timer to make time every day to take even a little action to move you closer to things you want in life!
• Smash Those Nagging Small Tasks With A Sledgehammer – You know the kind; they're important, and they need to be done, but they're small and you never seem to find time to get them done and cross them off your list. Use My Action Timer, set aside a mere 30 minutes, and don't just whittle away at your list – set it on fire!
• Go From Great To Good Enough – Spending too much time on a project or task due to perfectionism can almost be as unproductive as putting it off completely. You'll reel in this nasty habit completely by giving clear, specific time-limits to tasks and an alarm that acts as a reminder that it's time to move on.
• Limit Your Intake Of "Time-Snacks" – Quit checking email, Twittering, and updating your Facebook page mindlessly, with no regard for how it's eating-away at your time, then feeling guilty about it all later. Use My Action Timer to "allow" yourself a specific amount of time to enjoy it as much as you want.
"Your success will be largely determined by your ability to concentrate single-mindedly on one thing at a time."
– Brian Tracy
"I never worry about action, but only about inaction."
– Winston Churchill
"Action conquers fear."
– Peter Nivio Zarlenga
My Action Timer Makes It Easy To Take Action
Here's How:
• Plan Your Day In Less Than 30 Seconds – My Action Timer comes pre-loaded with dozens of common tasks, or you can add as many of your own as you want. With all your tasks readily available, you'll have your day planned in no time!
• Plenty Of Room, Even For Your Busiest Days – With the ability to display up to 12 timers at once, from 15 minutes to 2 hours each, you'll always have plenty of flexibility to manage and plan even your busiest days.
• See Your Day With More Clarity Than Ever Before – Instead of your day being some blurry, abstract "thing" of stuff you need to do, My Action Timer uses various graphical elements to help you actually visualize it, making it more real and more achievable to you.
• Feel A Stronger Sense Of Accomplishment – As you finish tasks using My Action Timer, the interface will provide you with visual feedback of their completion, giving you even more momentum to continue moving forward.
• It's Your Full-Time Coach – My Action Timer is a very lightweight application, meaning it takes up very little of your computers' resources so you can use it all day, every day, knowing it's not standing in the way of getting other things done on your computer.
• Spend More Time Using It, And Less Time Learning How To Use It – With an intuitive, simple interface, mastering it usually takes less than 3 minutes!
Are You Ready To Start Getting Results?
You don't need to be reminded that your time is valuable, you already know it is!
Your challenge isn't seeing the value in your time, it's probably the lack of a way to manage it for maximum results that is your constant obstacle.
Think about this: with what you've seen about My Action Timer, do you think it's possible you could reclaim 100 hours a year in your life that are currently being lost to who-knows-what?
How about 75 hours? 50? Or maybe 25 hours a year – just a little over 2 hours a month?
What could all that valuable time mean to you?
• More money in your pocket?
• More time with your children?
• More time enjoying your favorite hobbies?
• More time contributing to others?
• More time to learn and to grow?
• More time to relax and enjoy life?

Here's a stupid criminals story to make you laugh: A mom and her teenage son were caught attempting to shoplift $71 in items from a Florida Kmart. After being spotted in their five-finger-discount scheme, a loss prevention officer then led the two toward an office in the store. That's when 19-year-old Cory Dalton shouted, "Run, ma, run!" and the partners in crime fled the scene.
After jumping into a Cadillac, 38-year-old Lori Lynn Larocque probably assumed she and Cory were off the hook....that is, until this mom realized that she mistakenly left her debit card behind and $13 worth of legally purchased goods.
Oops, slight flaw in their escape plan.
With the shoplifter's name in hand, police didn't have much trouble tracking them down. Both mom and son -- who also had an arrest warrant for failing to appear in court to face a marijuana possession charge -- were arrested and charged with petty theft.

Article 49—Sega Absolutely Rose Street infomercial (1994)
Unseen for 20 years (!), Absolutely Rose Street is a half-hour infomercial that was commissioned by Sega to promote its new 32X hardware in 1994. Produced by Los Angeles ad agency Patrico-Sinare and a company called Impulse Productions (with contributions from the Sega Music Group), the show gave a sneak preview of various 32X games to "insomniacs and twentysomethings" who happened to catch it on Comedy Central, ESPN2 or a handful of other cable outlets in the middle of the night. If you click the above link, you can watch it in its entirety; I ripped this copy from a VHS tape that Sega's PR firm sent to VideoGames magazine all those years ago.
Absolutely Rose Street delivers its message while masquerading as the pilot episode of a young adult TV show. It's kind of like Beverly Hills, 90210, but with a bunch of Sega games and hardware lying around. The plot concerns Game Beat, a cable TV show hosted by Christina Savage and her hotheaded sort-of boyfriend Max Jackson. As the story begins,
Joe goes to visit the the ramshackle beach house where Christina and Max produce Game Beat. He threatens to cancel the show unless they produce an acceptable new episode in one week. Max takes to the streets with Jim and Cody (Game Beat's cameraman and sound guy, respectively) to interview local kids and gauge their interest in Sega's upcoming 32X hardware. Meanwhile, Christina sends an e-mail to Brad Granger, a Sega producer whose name she found in a magazine. In a flash, she is magically granted immediate access to a virtual online world of Sega insider information.
Armed with the company's confidential internal production schedule, Christina somehow enters Sega Studios and waltzes into Granger's office to demand more of a scoop. She leaves with a 32X and a handful of prototype games, which are used
The Game Beat team hatches a plan to keep their show alive and simultaneously get revenge on Whitehead. They throw a party at their beach house, which has been redecorated, loaded up with Sega games and rechristened "Absolutely Rose Street." A newer, edgier episode is shot at the party under the watchful eye of Granger, who is then inexplicably persuaded to break into the offices of the cable company and swap the tape with the premiere episode of Styling With Stella. Whitehead is enraged when Game Beat is broadcast in place of his girlfriend's show, but the episode is a success. The sponsor is pleased, the station manager is elated and Whitehead is left on his knees, shouting "Segaaa!" as Stella leaves him.
It's not really a surprise how contrived and cheesy this show is. The production budget for Absolutely Rose Street could not have been much greater than that of the fictional Game Beat itself! What is a surprise, though, is the appearance of two real-life game creators: Sam Nicholson (producer of Sega's Tomcat Alley, Midnight Raiders and Surgical Strike) and American McGee (Doom, American McGee's Alice), playing themselves and patiently answering breathless questions from the Game Beat hosts.
The show has no onscreen credits other than a copyright notice, so I have been Googling my ass off in an attempt to identify the eight main actors. Eddie Mekka (best known as Carmine Ragusa on the Laverne & Shirley sitcom) is immediately recognizable in the role of Joe Whitehead.
According to a contemporary article in Billboard magazine, Absolutely Rose Street was shown "more than 50 times" in 20 U.S. markets during November and December of 1994. During the show, a 1-800 phone number appears on the screen, ostensibly to allow viewers to vote for Game Beat or Styling With Stella. But nobody seems to remember if the show actually aired, never mind what happened when you called the phone number!

I feel obligated to tell everyone about this great micro-housing project by a local Vancouverite Ian Kent and team with NOMAD Micro Home.
A two level compact home with all the necessities to survive packed into a 10 x 10 structure. With options like in rainwater collection, solar panels, toilet incinerator and much more.
The only problem would be where to put it. Too bad the city doesn't make small parcels of land available for these projects on a rental basis, maybe even one of those 11 downtown unused development lots that the city had plans to build low income housing on... and never did (due to financial issues - good locations too!). Not to mention the rent could subsidize the cost to tax payers when the lot gets developed.
Or unused parking lots, sure they could make more $ that way... Monthly rent of $300 for 2 stalls, for the micro home, and an additional stall for convenient parking (this is no loss to the parking lot owner considering most Vancouver parking lots charge around $100 per space per month.
- Kitchen: stove, fridge, sink, faucet
- Bathroom: compost toilet, sink, faucet, hand shower, mirror, exhaust fan
- Hot Water: propane hot water on demand
- Heat: propane forced air
- Solar Power System
- Grey Water Treatment System
- Rainwater Collection System
This project is trying to get funding but unfortunately they aren't getting anywhere close. My guess would be because the people that support this, less wealthy, don't have the means to contribute and the wealthy have no use for it so won't contribute.

Early in the Civil War he entered the Missouri State Guard and his assignments included: captain, Shelby's Ranger Company, Missouri State Guard (spring 1861); colonel, 5th Missouri Cavalry (1862); commanding brigade, Marmaduke's Cavalry Division, Ist Corps, Trans-Mississippi Department (summer December 1862); commanding brigade, Marmaduke's Cavalry Division, District of Arkansas, Trans-Mississippi Department January-July 4, 1863 and late 1863-September 1864); brigadier general, CSA (December 15, 1863); commanding division, Army of Missouri, Trans-Mississippi Department (September 18-September 1864); and commanding lst (Missouri) Cavalry Brigade, lst (Missouri) Cavalry Division, Cavalry Corps, Trans-Mississippi Department (September 1864-May 26, 1865).
As a company commander he fought at Carthage, Wilson's Creek, and Pea Ridge before being sent back to Missouri to raise a regiment. As a colonel in charge of a brigade in John S. Marmaduke's mounted division, he fought at Prairie Grove and was wounded at Helena. Upon his recovery he was promoted to brigadier general and led a brigade at Jenkins' Ferry.
During Price's invasion of Missouri in the late summer and fall of 1864 he led a cavalry division. When the Confederacy's collapse came he refused to surrender and led part of his force to Mexico where they unsuccessfully offered their services to either side. He then returned to his business interests in Missouri. (O'Flaherty, Daniel, General Jo Shelby, Undefeated Rebel)

Harry looked up at the place he known as home for almost a decade of his life.
Hogwarts lay in ruin, the bell tower laying strewn in piles around the courtyard, battlements and pillars broken, towers toppled.
It was all over.
Inside, people reunited; healers treated wounds of the flesh, loved ones treated the wounds of the heart. The dead lay in the side hall, their own loved ones crying themselves to sleep by their side.
Fred, Lavender, Colin Creevey, Tonks, Lupin... They had all given their lives to save him.
Fred would never crack another joke with George; Lavender would never be able to tell Seamus she fancied him; Colin would never have his first girlfriend, or develop the film left in his camera.
Tonks and Lupin would never be able to watch their son board the Hogwarts Express...
It was when he thought of Tonks and Lupin that Harry broke down.
He had seen them, eyes closed, reaching out for each other even in death.
For the first time in a long while...
Harry Potter cried.
He let his tears fall for all the people that had died.
The innocent first years that had been tortured at the hands of the Carrows.
The equally innocent second years that had been caught in the crossfire and now lay dead in the second hall.
The parents that would be picking up the bodies of their children tomorrow...
The parents that never would.
Harry cried for his own parents, for the hope they had given him in the forest.
He cried for Sirius. The only person in the world that knew exactly how he felt.
Harry cried for Dumbledore, and all the things Dumbledore hadn't been able to tell him.
He cried in happiness that the Weasleys hadn't all died. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if any more of them had been killed, he could barely live with the guilt of having caused Fred's death.
He cried for Hedwig. He missed her so much... There had never been an owl more perfect, or intelligent as her.
He let out a choked sob when he thought of Dobby; of Dobby's grave at shell cottage. Yet another death on his hands. He had freed the little elf, now because of him, Poor, brave Dobby was dead.
With an another sob, Harry thought of Cedric. Cedric had been the first person to die because of him.
After that year, nothing had ever gotten better. Just more and more people began to die on his behalf.
God, they had almost killed Hermione. Bellatrix had nearly killed her...
Harry didn't know what he would have done if Ron and/or Hermione died. He would probably chuck himself off a cliff. They had both given up so much for him...
How many times had it been now, that they had all escaped death by a hair? been so close to dying that all it would have taken was a sidestep to the right?
It hadn't always been this way...
As Harry stood, staring at the ruined castle through vision blurred by tears, the realization hit him like a lightning bolt.
It was over.
It was all over.
They could live again, carefree... Just like when they were eleven. Before the darkness came.
It was too late to save their childhoods, Voldemort and their age had taken care of that. They would never enjoy Hogwarts as innocent students again.
Harry shook with the force of his sobs, unable to see through the tears. He had never cried like this, to hard that the anguish and pain forced him down on his knees.
Never before, had he felt this incomplete, the pangs of longing and loneliness pratically tearing him apart... He had always relied on the fact that he would go back to Hogwarts next year, that there would be another year of safety and friendship.
Now, that all seemed like a distant memory.
As Harry Potter stood wiping the tears, he pushed all the feelings out of his mind. A realization swept over him.
He wasn't a little boy anymore. Sometime through the horrible events that had plagued him over the years, he had turned into a man. And now, as a man, he had to let go.
His time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...
Had ended.
It was time to go home.
