RUFC - Scott 'back four did well on Saturday'
Rotherham United Manager, Andy Scott thought his side should have won the game on Saturday due to their first half performance.
'It was a bit of a boost the way we played in the first half,' Scott told MillersPlayer, 'but we've got to take that into the next game now.'
Speaking about the defence, that he has been so critical of in the last few weeks, Scott said, 'It's still early days trying to rectify the defensive problems we've had but they responded well from the goals we conceded.
'For one reason and another, we haven't really had a settled back four, with injuries and international duties and people being out of form and that's been difficult for everybody. But we're working hard at it and we're getting there. The back four put in a good performance on Saturday.'

Dealing with Death
By dgutsche on Nov 3, 2012 in Germany
Death, in general, is a very challenging topic and it is to a great extent not touched upon in German public. Indeed, many people wouldn't talk about it. I could imagine that Americans and Germans are quite similar in their approach to death as our societies have a great deal in common. First, however, I would like to talk about some general formal proceedings that go along with death. Then, I want to share some of my own experiences.
As Germany is historically and culturally influenced by Christianity, many people have funeral services at church. At the funeral, the family, relatives, friends, and acquaintances would have the opportunity to say good bye officially to their dear loved. It is commonly accustomed that the deceased's children invite the family and close friends to a funeral meal after the service. Many people address personal massages to the spouse expressing their condolences for the severe loss. Despite being often publicly disregarded, the topic of death is covered in school in religious education as well as in ethical class. Students have the chance to talk about their experience with death. Admittedly, I am not certain if that is part of every state's curriculum, but I've never heard to the contrary.
The last person in my family who passed away was my grandfather. When that happened, I was only four and therefore I struggle to remember his funeral. As I grew up in a Christian home, I believe in an afterlife and therefore I strongly assume to see my grandfather again. His passing away did not seriously affect me, since I was very little and additionally had not known him very well. From my own experience, however, it appears to me that people who believe in God seem to have less trouble dealing with death than those who do not. In regard to my close social environment, it is hard to tell how people deal with death. In fact, almost all of my friends haven't experienced any tragic loss in their families and therefore this is not a subject we would talk about in personal terms but rather philosophically.

(Chevetogne, Belgium) The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of St. Volodymyr the Great in Paris was established as an exarchate (a temporary structure) in 1960. Its jurisdiction covers five countries: France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Since 2012 it has been headed by Bishop Borys Gudziak, a former MASI professor, who taught in several of the Institute's summer programs at Mount Tabor Monastery in California in the 1990s. In early 2013 the exarchate was transformed into an eparchy, a more permanent structure. Since its inception in 1960 no gathering of representatives of all of its parishes had ever occurred. That changed in January 2015 as the clergy and lay representatives of the eparchy gathered at the Benedictine Monastery of the Holy Cross in Chevetogne, Belgium from January 29 to February 1, 2015. They gathered for their first Sobor or council, which centred on the theme of the Vibrant Parish initiative now underway throughout the Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church world-wide, a program in which MASI's Fr. Andrew Onuferko has played a central role.
Fr. Andriy Chirovsky was invited by the Eparchy to offer a series of theological-pastoral presentations. He delivered the following five presentations:
- The Eparchial Sobor as a Time to Speak and be Heard
- The Word of God and Our Response to it in Liturgy and Personal Prayer
- Diakonia, Charity and Good Administration: Doing our Best in the Best Way
- Unity within the Church, Ecumenical Outreach, and a Mission Orientation
- Planning for the Future of the Church: A Process-Oriented Vision
He also introduced three small group discussions on the following topics: "What hurts might I carry," "What am I afraid of," and "What is one concrete thing that I can do to enliven my Church." After each small group discussion, reports were made to the whole body.
Before each of Fr. Andriy's addresses, biblical scholar and MASI alumnus, Fr. Yuriy Shchurko, offered powerful reflections on Hebrews, Chapters 10-12, with a special emphasis on the role of faith in our lives. Fr. Andriy was especially pleased to hear Fr. Yuriy's talks, as the latter was Fr. Andriy's student in 1998 during the summer program at Mt. Tabor. A whole series of today's leading Ukrainian Catholic Scholars of the younger generation were once MASI students.
The Sobor was not only an opportunity to hear about how to be a vibrant Church. Indeed, the assembly modelled this reality for its participants who returned to their parishes with renewed zeal and hope for the future. Its members took part in daily Vespers, Matins, and Divine Liturgy. An atmosphere of frank and respectful sharing with a good dose of humour and just plain Christian joy prevailed. Bishop Borys demonstrated his characteristic approachability and warmth, even starting a snowball fight at one point, in order to brighten the spirits of participants on a chilly and grey day. He received a number of direct hits. No excommunications are expected, however, as the Bishop got only what he asked for. Many people, accustomed to a very formal relationship with their bishops in Ukraine, were pleasantly surprised by the gentle mayhem.
Presently the Paris Eparchy is experiencing solid growth as more and more Ukrainian migrants flood to Western Europe. The Paris cathedral, once reduced to some 50 souls has some 600 hundred regular Sunday congregants, with many children enrolled in its school. Some 30-40 Ukrainian workers arrive in Paris every week. Two additional parishes are being planned in the city. Parishes in Belgium and Holland are also experiencing quick growth. Several ordinations are planned for the coming year.
Interestingly, Sobor participants, largely well-educated recent immigrants from Ukraine, expressed the need to introduce liturgy not only in Ukrainian, but also in various local languages. They asked that the eparchy's website eventually offer information in Ukrainian, French, Dutch, Italian and English. The Eparchy is determined to embark upon translation of Christ Our Pascha, the Catechism of the UGCC into at least French working from the English text prepared under the guidance of the Sheptytsky Institute.
Fr. Andriy Chirovsky and his wife Halyna have been invited to return to Paris in June in order to offer workshops on Christian marriage for both laity and clergy.

| Guest chapter 1 . 2/13/2016
And now it's cannon! So no need for bashing. (Grins.) You're cute and understandably you got some flamers for being too cute. I love how you dug up the facts tho.
Maybe you should try defending Sasuke "trying to kill" Sakura next time (tho from what I understood it had been self-defense and Sakura always initiated as it's her duty to kill a missing nin) or defending Sarada's name from those who translate it into plain "salad."
| NollyLvn chapter 1 . 3/12/2015
calm down sakura! XD we know it already :3
| Guest chapter 1 . 12/28/2012
I'm in a weird place of fan fiction again, aren't I? *facepalm* Freedom of Speech, may God bless your soul. Listen I understand your need to pent out all of your emotions about your rave of SasuSaku, but who cares? This is a place where you can write your fictional stories about those two fictional characters... Not a place where you analyze your insights about the pairing's highlights. I hope you the best and don't abuse the authority you obtained in fan fiction to construct your own fictional stories. Use your creativity :)
| TheCrazyGurlz chapter 1 . 7/29/2011
Dude this fic PAWN! I agree with all the facts you stated ;) SasuSaku FTW~!
| Kurayamino Hasu - Tenshi chapter 1 . 9/11/2010
It's really funny and I support it. Don't listen to that bitch, past the pacific is insane!
| nipnag chapter 1 . 6/4/2010
this was funny! :D
and you have ALL the naruto nippon episodes? OMG! is it possible to upload them to the internet or something? i've been searching high and low for them! i love listening to the radio shows though i can't understand a single thing they're saying :S
| CCXC chapter 1 . 2/22/2010
aplausse! i take my hat off and kneel d to the queen!
that was freakin awsome... though dont u get like many rr bout fans of sasu-karin (SUPER EWW in all the lenguages i know so: Eww, disgusting, asco!) or narusasu(nothing against this gay stuff) but i hate that stuff, and i repeat i will NEVER EVER IN A MILLIION YEARS read that stuff (again no offense) id rather read karinsasu, for real AND thats something! though ill jus read when karin ends baad of course, but still i kind of gets me that sasusaku fics have 500 or so pages while narusasu almost 800 . . though not ALL of them r romantic but is still deeply disturbing...a friend of mine who reads Fanfics too but twilight she knows the essential bout Naruto and she says that she understand why r so many, someone just confess to the guy (a hot girl btw)and he just thinks bout sasuke, that made me think about, and i DO NOT liked it so...im avoiding it for my mind sakes..
enough babbling XD!
i really liked this one-shot, funny too but kind of confussin at first!
bye take care!
PD: Do u i can imagine sasu and naru together, as in together together? i just cant go there! i freak out easily!
| past the pacific chapter 1 . 2/21/2010
Your Karin bashing is extremely immature. You just prove that SasuSaku fans are bat shit insane. There is no proof what so ever that Sasuke has ever cared for Sakura in a romantic way and you are just deluding yourself. Fuck, Sasuke tried to kill Sakura in the latest chapter. A relationship between Sasuke and Sakura would be an extremely unhealthy one, due to the pathetic way Sakura acts whenever she's around Sasuke and that she could never understand someone as screwed up as him (while Karin could seeing as her village was murdered like Sasuke's).
Hell, NaruSaku is the only pairing (other than AsuKur) that has had ANY support in canon. What do you call Yamato telling Sakura "the truth is Sakura that you. . ."? Yeah, and Naruto is in love with Sakura. She's said it herself. So stop trolling and writing these offensive fics. Just because I know SasuSaku is a crack pairing doesn't mean I'm retarded.
| BlackandPink is Love chapter 1 . 2/19/2010
I know that movie it was a filipino movie wasn't it?
| Ai chapter 1 . 2/19/2010
Just. . . No. Do you read the manga at all? In ch 483 Sasuke tried to kill her. SasuSaku is crack. End of story.
| HatterLifeStyle chapter 1 . 1/31/2010
It's not so much the psychopath as much as the pregnant kickass ninja that made me review... This is great!
| teh-f43ry-pwnz chapter 1 . 1/19/2010
um, just to point out, sasuke also tells karin thank you. so, either "thank you" does not equate "i love you," or sasuke also has feelings for karin (i'm going with the former, since i do not support sasukarin)
| CherryArrow chapter 1 . 1/11/2010
Holy crap. An extended essay on SasuSaku!
Just kidding. You have a lot of good points and I have to agree with you ;D
| MissCherryVampire chapter 1 . 1/3/2010
I love this! Ha finally a worthy SasuSaku story!
I completely am staying with this pairing all the way. Just one moment you kinda missed out in the chiunin exams were they were fighting against the grass ninja. This part was where Kabuto was helping this isn't about Kabuto...right now where was I...okay I remember!
Anyway if you remember they got caught in a genjustu and were walking in circles and Sakura was tired so she decided to sit on the ground and then grass ninjas came and guess who offered his hand to help her up.
Naruto: It was me believe it! *wacks Naruto on his head*
Me: Shut up you were the one who asked her if she was okay! *light bulb appears above his head*
Naruto: Oh yeah I remember now!
Me: *rolls eyes* Naruto you have to stop cutting in when I'm talking!
Anyway before I was cut off...IT WAS SASUKE! D he offered her his hand and he helped her up! I was so shock when I saw that that I replaced it over and over to make sure I wasn't seeing things!By the way did you know when Sasuke said that thank you he bit his lip before actually saying it? Everyone believes that he wanted to say something else (and it had better have been a proper love confession or else Sasuke!) but instead he when with something with a deeper meaning. And come on it's Sasuke Uchiha when does he say thank you to anyone!
I hate those crack pairings I have been seeing these days. Especially SasuHina. If it had any proof behind this one then will respect it but I will anyways be a hardcore NaruHina fan.
Anyway I loved your one stop. It made me laugh and fall in love with SasuSaku all over again (although I'm already in love with it)
And the movie you were talking about I remember seeing that. I mean for a MOVIE to go and cospaly a pairing from Naruto has to mean something especially when they people doing it are the two people to fall in love!
That damn well be faith's way of saying that SASUSSAKU will always be there.
Besides the manga right now is leaning towards it. I won't tell you how because I don't know if you're reading the recent manga chapters so I won't ruin the joy for you.
Here's a cute fact. When Sasuke and Sakura get married they have the same letters in their name. Sakura Uchiha Sasuke Uchiha. SU! SU! or US! US!
Okay enjoy of me and my hyper self. I;m going to see what else you can cooked up on your profile. :)
Ps: I don't like Karin either. I want to see Sakura punch her!

Moving my Piano to Dallas
So you are moving and you have so much to do with all the kids in your family. you have to make sure everyone packs and everyone gets their stuff they need and want to keep. it is a hassle doing this yourself and it is a hassle doing it with help from a friend or four. but trying to move all bunch of kids so keep track of Dallas moving companies to make sure you can get it all done. With a good moving company you can actually relax and help manage the project and keep a better eye on what your kids are or are not doing. Make sure you are packing the boxes correctly so you will not have any broken playstations and you will want to have the favorite toys on top. Make sure the boxes are not packed to heavy or you will have a angry moving crew and they may want to charge you more or make you repack the boxes. It's a good time to teach the kids to organize their belongings and let them figure out what is important to them. They will want their favorite toys handy for sure. But they will also need their clothes and toothbrush and other essential items that may not be on top but will need to be unpacked first when you get to your new home.
The most important thing to keep track of maybe your family heirlooms. A baby grand piano is not easy to move so you can call piano movers Dallas so you know the job will be done flawlessly. Don't just settle for the moving company that moves everything else for you. They may not be the seasoned pros at moving heavy equipment that is very precious. So keep an eye on who has the best reviews and who you see around town. You will probably want a local company to handle your moving services Dallas and make sure you whole family makes it to the new pad happy safe and sound. And don't forget your dog, sometimes dogs are really dumb and might be left behind. this never makes for happy children.

The Swimmer
53 pages / 6.00 x 9.00 inches / no illustrations
In The Swimmer, Susan Ludvingson writes of the enveloping sensuality of swimming—gliding beneath the waves, basking in shimmering light on the surface, drifting in the pleasure of the water. In these poems, swimming can be the perfect escape from life, a sublime refuge from the cares and agonies that lie on the shore or wait at the edge of the pool.
Ludvingson begins with poems that speak of the griefs that punctuate life. She writes of the fearsome mysteries of passion, the agonies that can be reawakened by memory, the sabotage of dreams, the sadness of living in a world painfully contracted by the deaths of loved ones.
It's not the world I care about now,
but a few lives.
Yours. Mine. The friends
who go on dying.
After Don, after, Anne,
I can hardly believe how it continues.
She then turns to poems that seek escape from grief, in the dark humor of obscure news items—"Man Arrested in Hacking Death Tells Police He mistook Mother-in-Law for Raccoon"—and in the absorbing depths of art.
But these are escapes of the mind, momentary transformations of identity that cannot finally bring calm to the spirit. In the final section of the book, Ludvingson returns to the lure of the water:
Under that starry sky, you'll float
in the shadows of shadows.
three might be no end t it, just water
darkening into night, then slowly
restoring itself.
to blue. The silence will be a new entrance
to dreams, sleep a new way to breathe.
Sensual and moving these are poems of renewal and of loss, poems that seek the moments of calm amid the jagged hours of daily life.

|[en] As a narrative pattern and a cultural motif, the confusion between fictional worlds and reality traditionally leads to metaphysical arguments about liberty and destiny. Despite their drawing heavily on scientific imagination and technoscientific artefacts, science fiction movies exploring that theme never really broke with the way it has been treated since Calderon de la Barca's Life is a dream: the hero's quest leads him to doubt his own identity and dispute the ontological status of the world he lives in, leaving him and the viewer perplexed as to the ultimate nature of things. Yet, in the last fifteen years, an increasing number of science-fiction movies renewed that interrogation, notably by placing the issue of design at the centre of the plot: fictional worlds are not only denounced as fictional, but also shown as works in progress, literally rebuilt according to the plan of not-so-hidden designers acting as demiurges. In Dark City, Vanilla Sky or, more recently, Inception and The Adjustment Bureau, the emphasis on design and architecture together with the use of computational metaphors result in the promotion of one particular world to the status of "reference" universe, to be held as more "real" than other, fabricated and computed worlds made accessible by sophisticated devices operating as metaleptic instruments (such as Neo's cable plug or the "bio-ports" in ExistenZ). This paper wishes to explore this shift towards "gnostic", Matrix-like science-fictional narratives, particularly in relation to the dramatic development of networking and surveillance capabilities that occurred during the same period.

The Polish Underground State started to take form on 27 September 1939. It was a very international phenomenon. Its clandestine army and civilian buildings reporting to the Polish government-in-exile had no parallel in another nation. The Polish Underground State not solely engaged in open wrestle towards the occupiers as a part of Operation Tempest, but in addition established a practice of ethics and independence which noticed the Poles by means of the time of communist dictatorship. The troopers and civil servants of the Polish Underground State have been to not see victory. Lots of them perished within the battle, have been murdered or imprisoned by the occupiers. After the warfare, hundreds fell sufferer to communist repressions, hundreds of others rescued themselves by fleeing overseas. They left us their heritage and values that guided them of their wrestle towards the occupiers and communist subjugation. Their testomony was left in such paperwork because the order of Basic Leopold Okulicki "Bear Cub" to dissolve the House Military, or the final manifesto issued by the Council of Nationwide Unity (included on this brochure). It can be discovered within the lives and deaths of the witnesses who served their motherland within the hour of trial. Right now, we learn anew the Testomony of Preventing Poland, which bequeathed us her beliefs.

Zabaglione is a sweet, rich, Italian egg cream that is commonly served over fruit or cookies. It's a simple, but luscious dessert recipe that only requires a few ingredients. It takes about 25 minutes from start to finish and the finger licking result will have you believing it was worth every minute. You can enjoy this cream on any favorite fruit and traditionally, it's served over strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.
In this version, the combination of the indescribable creaminess of the zabaglione with pears and cranberries creates a flavor combination that will have your guests licking the bowl and asking for more. You can top off your dish with homemade whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon.
Here is what you need.
- 4 Land O'Lakes® cage-free all-natural egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1 cup of frozen whole cranberries, thawed
- 2 fresh pears, cored and cubed
Fill a medium size saucepan (about 2 or 3 quart size) with two to three inches of water. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat.
Combine the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla in a metal or glass heat-resistant bowl that is just a little larger than the pot. Whisk well with a wire whisk until foamy (about 2 minutes).
Set the bowl over the simmering water, without letting the bottom of the bowl touch the water.
Continue to whisk the mixture vigorously and constantly so that it starts to thicken (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the Marsala while continuing to whisk making sure to not let the mixture boil. Keep whisking vigorously for another 5-7 minutes, until the custard turns a pretty pale yellow, doubles in volume and thickens.
Remove from heat. Divide fruit into 4 small bowls.
Pour warm sauce over fruit and serve.
Cook's Tips:
- Apple juice can be a substitute for the wine.
- Whipped cream and crumbled amoretti cookies go well with this dessert too.
- A Sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg makes a nice final touch.
- Other fruits that work well with this dessert are strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

A long time ago lived a very pretty girl called Lucy she loved to sing and dance in her small town. But then she got a tap, the tap was from a god called Zeus.
Lucy said "Hi Zeus what's the problem!"
Zeus said " Nothing but I give you this nice little box.
Lucy said" What's inside it"
Zeus wanted to kill Lucy because she was telling everyone about him and he didn't like it.
"Open it when your inside you don't want the whole town to see it." said Zeus.
" Okay" said Lucy very exited!
She ran inside and went to her bedroom so her mum and dad couldn't see what was in the box. She got the key and opened the box...BOOM! out came sickness, disease, death and her hope was lost.
She talked to her self and said " Oh no my hope is now lost. I might die the bugs are trying to kill me!"
She shouted her mum and dad but her voice was gone of the sickness and disease.
She was going to die now, she had no voice and could hardly breath. Her very last word was...ZEUS! Her dream to be a singer has all been torn into two!

Recently, I had to modify one of my company's Microsoft SQL Server systems, and the modification required me to reboot the machine. The server is a Compaq ProLiant 5500 with dual-Pentium II Xeon processors and a RAID 5 hardware configuration, and it runs Windows NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 5 (SP5). This machine supports our company's call centers and e-commerce Web site.
I couldn't remember the last time I'd had to reboot the system, so I used the Uptime (uptime.exe) utility, which you can download from Microsoft's Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/management/uptime/default.asp, to determine the server's current uptime. As Figure 1, page 18, shows, the server had run for 1 year since the last time I rebooted it.
Many people tell me that Microsoft products don't offer high availability and uptime. My SQL Server system proves them wrong.

Boston Tea Party 2009
The Modern Tea Party movement was actually started with the Boston Tea Party 2008. Committees of Safety and Walter Reddy, held a Boston Tea Party on December 14, 2008, at Faneuil Hall in Boston to highlight freedom and liberty and sound money - The Speakers were Edwin Vieira , John McManus, Katherine Albrecht, and Walter Reddy, to name a few.
After the December Faneuil Hall tea party event was held, we heard Rick Santelli on CNBC on the floor of the Chicago Exchange calling for a tea party in Chicago - and that is what touched a nerve in this country.
Building on the State Sovereignty/10th Amendment Movement, the 2009 Boston Tea Party will focus on taking the next step and how to put teeth into the 10th Amendment. The theme is 'Reclaiming the Power of the Purse and the Power of the Sword' -- Sound money and the Second Amendment.
Presented by Committees of Safety. To order tickets, click here - $17.76 for general admission. Enjoy an intimate private dinner with the speakers at the historic Warren Tavern in Charlestown, MA. for $100.

Fallout 3 Girls, Guns, And Garden Gnomes Gameplay Video - PS3
Fallout 3 - Girls, Guns, And Garden Gnomes Gameplay Video
There are those who had continual faith in Bethesda to produce another masterpiece like Oblivion, and they were vindicated when Fallout 3 impressed the critics. Its sci-fi atmosphere blends beautifully with the battle and explore gameplay, although the game is nothing like its predecessors. Perhaps fans of those old Fallout titles will be turned off by this new style, but a whole new generation of gamers are guaranteed to get a lot of fun out of this one. You'll need to clear some time on your calendar in order to fully appreciate this title's depth and expansiveness, but hey, that's not a bad thing. After all, everyone always complains that games are too short these days, so go pick up Fallout 3!

Published Tuesday, January 21, 2014 1:20PM EST
SUNBURY, Pa. -- A prosecutor is seeking the death penalty for a Pennsylvania couple charged with killing a man allegedly lured through a Craigslist ad.
District Attorney Anthony Rosini said Tuesday that aggravating circumstances would justify death sentences for 22-year-old Elytte Barbour and his 19-year-old wife, Miranda. Authorities say the victim was killed during a robbery and tortured.
Authorities say Miranda Barbour stabbed 42-year-old Troy LaFerrara of Port Trevorton in the front seat of her car while Elytte Barbour held a cord around his neck from the back seat. Elytte Barbour allegedly told investigators they committed the Nov. 11 crime because they wanted to kill someone together.
Miranda Barbour's attorney says he isn't surprised the prosecutor is seeking the death penalty.
Rosini says he'll also seek a joint trial.

BANGOR, Maine — Glen Roethel, a New York-based singer/songwriter, is including Bangor in his spring touring schedule in order to support a three-church service trip to Guatemala this July, at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 29, at Unitarian Universalist Society of Bangor, 120 Park St., Bangor.
With this concert, Roethel is supporting a group of Unitarian Universalist youth from congregations in Bangor, Belfast and Ellsworth who will be traveling to Guatemala to work with Safe Passage (http://www.safepassage.org), a Yarmouth, Maine–based international nonprofit. Safe Passage works to educate and improve the lives of children whose families live around the Guatemala City Garbage Dump.
"If it weren't for the work of Safe Passage, these children would have to work along side their parents spending their days picking through the trash in the dump," according to the Rev. Becky Gunn, Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Bangor, in a press release. When asked why he would donate his time to support this service trip. Roethel said, "All children deserve a chance in life. Safe Passage gives Guatemalan children hope and gives our local children a crucial opportunity to touch and change the world," according to the press release.
This service trip is the second for the youth from this combined group of three congregations. In 2012, the youth traveled to New Orleans to help with the City's rebuilding efforts. Their experiences were profound and long lasting. With the support of their families, friends and community they are looking forward to bringing their energy, time and talent to the children of the Guatemala City Dump. Jesse Knight (Belfast), says in the press release: "I went to New Orleans and learned so much about people, about suffering and about commitment to community and brought those memories and experiences home to Maine. I imagine Guatemala and what it will be like and can only have faith that we will have something to offer the children and their families. I am humbled by this opportunity."
Doors open at 6:30pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door and $5 for children 12 years of age and under. To order tickets by phone, please contact the Unitarian Universalist Society of Bangor at: 947-7009.

Chapter 8: Confessions
Chapter 8 Confessions
Hermione's blood was boiling but oddly, she was calm and controlled. She walked purposefully down the stone passage to Harry's quarters feeling numb and empty, betrayed by two men she cared for deeply.
Not bothering to knock, she raised her wand. "Diffindo!" The door blew open and she marched in with her head held high. Ginny and Harry, who were seated on the davenport, glanced up in surprise at her unconventional entrance. She did not mince her words, but spoke with the directness she was known for.
"What Dark Magic did you use on Draco?"
"Hermione- What? Is that what he told you? So, that's how he defends his abominable behavior…?"
"He wasn't defending himself at all. Answer my question."
"He drew blood, Hermione!" Harry spat.
"It was unacceptable, 'Mione," interjected Ginny, quietly.
"Yes, Ginny, quite so. I just spoke with Draco and he is well aware he made a serious error in judgment. However, I would like Harry to explain the Dark Magic he used on Draco."
"In case you've forgotten, Hermione, he's the one who used Dark Magic!" Harry spat.
She quickly rounded back on him. "So did you."
"I'm sorry? What are you talking about?"
"The Half-Blood Prince, Harry and his dark spells! Sixth year. Moaning Myrtle's bathroom."
Harry gaped at her. He was maddened with this whole ruddy business and felt that Draco Malfoy was entirely more trouble than he was worth.
Sure, Harry could not deny the information Malfoy had provided in regards to Voldemort had proven to be invaluable, but Harry could not, would not, condone a relationship between Hermione and Draco. He began to feel compression in his chest, no doubt from the rock and the hard place he now found himself so firmly wedged into.
Harry's emerald eyes bore into Hermione's. "I didn't know what I was doing, that day, in moaning Myrtle's lavatory. You know that Hermione. I've told you that.
"Yes but I want you to tell me exactly what happened. Everything!" She was almost hysterical.
A bitter, metallic taste flooded Harry mouth. He did not want to tell Hermione anything that would give her a reason to feel pity for Draco. He didn't know what else he could do; it was plain she would not take no for an answer.
Harry sighed and after a pregnant pause began to speak. "I saw Malfoy, crying his eyes out like a baby. He was obviously in great distress over something…his task from Voldemort no doubt. He was surprised to see me there; he was going to use the Cruciatus Curse…."
"Yes, yes…I know that part Harry," Hermione urged. "What did the dark spell do to Draco?"
"The Dark Magic spell from the potions book, Sectumsempra…it practically eviscerated Malfoy, there was blood…everywhere. I nearly fainted from the sight of it. I had no idea what that spell would do; I would never have used it had I known. If Snape hadn't healed Draco- he would've bled to death."
No one spoke. Harry continued on, "That's the difference, Hermione. I didn't know I was using Dark Magic. Malfoy used it on me with intent."
Hermione said nothing to this, only eyed Harry inquisitively, pain etched in her frozen expression.
"Maybe… it was just an involuntary reaction, Harry." Ginny spoke with quiet confidence as both Harry and Hermione turned to focus on her pensive face. She went on, "Draco using that Dark spell…while dueling. After all we don't even know where Draco's been or what he's gone through-"
Harry gave a great snort.
"-and you were really laying it on him, Harry. Levicorpus? Rather humiliating, if I do say so myself… and in front of students, too…" Ginny gave him a small grin that told Harry she knew him all too well. "Besides, we know that you didn't mean to use Sectumsempra on Draco, but he doesn't. He probably believes you tried to kill him."
Hermione gave Ginny a grateful smile. Her friend had voiced the very things Hermione herself had wanted to say but was sure if she had, Harry would've scoffed at her.
"Ginny, you can't be serious! You're defending Malfoy! Unbelievable. He was about to use the Cruciatus Curse on me. Even moaning Myrtle could vouch for that."
"I'm not defending him, or what he did- back then or now. I'm just trying to be objective. McGonagall wants us to set our personal feelings aside-"
"Oh, as Hermione has?" quipped Harry.
"You know what I mean Harry, and if you would, you might see that I am probably right."
He suspected Ginny was right, but he hated to admit it. Instead, he sighed heavily, shrugged and nodded then turned to fetch himself a stiff drink.
Ginny's sympathetic gaze fell on Hermione and broke through her controlled façade. Small tears spilled out from her brimming eyes.
"Oh, 'Mione, don't cry. Those two have a ton of animosity. Don't put yourself in the middle of it. I know what you did, to help Draco."
"I helped him with the counter spell," she sobbed. "It made things worse."
"Hermione, don't get in the middle of it with Draco and Harry. Let it be. If you want a relationship with Draco, don't try to mend fences between those two. Nothing good can come of it. Let them figure it out themselves; they may never be friends but I think they could learn to be civil, for you. I know Harry cares deeply for you and he would do it for you, in his own way, in his own time. And Draco, I think he'd do anything to be with you, including making nice with Harry. But you have to let them come to it on their own terms, otherwise it won't work."
"Male ego?" she sniffed.
"But, Ginny… Dark Magic. Why would Draco-"
"Remember Hermione, Minerva would not allow Draco to be here if he was a threat. As for Dark Magic- Dark Magic is…I don't want to say it can be addictive, but…once you've done it…really done it, with feeling, it can be an easy thing to draw on. And Harry was getting the best of him. But that aside," she added quietly, "I have my own theory as to why Draco is here."
Hermione furrowed her brows quizzically as Ginny shook her head, "Not now, we'll talk about that later."
Hermione looked intrigued but nodded quickly in agreement as she joined Ginny on the sofa. "Ginny, you're such a good friend. Thank you for supporting me and handling Harry."
"Oh, I can handle Harry alright." She smiled brightly, "He's prideful- but not beyond reasoning. Harry runs with his emotions at times; they do tend to get the better of him now and again. But that's much of why I love him so."
Hermione smiled. "And he loves you, too."
Ginny beamed. "Hermione, don't fret about Harry. You're like a sister to him; he's protective and possessive of you… I know it's hard to live with, I should know! I've got enough brothers!"
Both girls laughed and hugged. Ginny was a true healer; like a balm for one's soul.
Harry returned to the room, shaking his head as he observed the two of them. He knew what was coming. Hermione was getting closer to letting Malfoy in, of that he was sure. If she could overlook this, it was only a matter of time before Malfoy wormed his way into her heart.
The first of November brought with it a wintry blast that whipped about the grounds and seeped its way into the castle corridors, which would now remain cold until well into spring.
Draco woke, early for a Sunday, feeling the cold and remembering Hermione's icy disposition since the duel and over the previous month. He groped for his wand at his bedside table, magicked a crackling fire upon the hearth and tossed the wand back down, raking his fingers through his messy blond bangs.
"Damn!" He cursed aloud, cursed himself for thinking of her again. He felt exceptionally irritable and decided a brisk walk around the lake would help to clear his head.
He knew Hermione was attracted to him. He just wished she'd give him a chance to show her how different he was now. Well, not altogether different, he is still a Slytherin after all. Even so, he had grown up quickly after that night atop the Astronomy Tower with Dumbledore.
Draco closed his eyes and let the memories come. Memories that had tormented him, plagued, and besieged him. If Snape had not shown up when he did… Draco had not known what would have become of his life; that is if he would have survived the wrath of Voldemort and the Death Eaters.
He recalled standing there on that tower, as if on the edge of a massive cliff, getting ready to free fall without any means to stop himself from crashing. Draco had known when he looked in Dumbledore's eyes, that he could not do it; he had known actually from the time his father and Voldemort had told him his task. He was scared out of his mind, thinking Voldemort would surely kill him and his mother, if he, Draco, did not do Voldemort's bidding. He really had cared not if his father lived or died. Lucius had been dead to him long before this terrible task was placed in his hands. Draco had only realized the truth after he and Snape disapparated from outside the castle grounds.
Draco inhaled deeply and opened his eyes. He was so far from that now; so far from that scared, cowardly boy who was easily led. He had decided his own way; he had chosen a different path for himself that night. Draco only wished they all could see the truth, especially Hermione. Only Hermione. If she knew the whole truth and believed in him, he wouldn't care what anyone else thought.
In time, they'll all know the truth.
Rising slowly from his deep-green, almost black satin sheets, he ambled to the bath to enjoy a hot shower.
Some twenty minutes later, Draco dressed quickly in a black roll neck sweater and dark blue-black denim jeans. He wound his silver and green House scarf around his neck and headed down to the Great Hall to grab a steaming cup of elf-made coffee. He swore it was better than any he could conjure.
Once through the entrance doors, he descended the stone steps and strolled toward the lake. The air was crisp and clean, chilling his nose as he inhaled, a sharp contrast to the hot coffee that spread its warmth as he swallowed.
Draco came round a willow tree, walked the length of a number of unruly shrubberies, and passed by a small brier thicket. There was a carved marble bench, he knew, hidden from view of the castle and it was on this very bench that Draco planned to enjoy his coffee.
As he came into the clearing, he was surprised to see somebody already sitting there, gazing out across the lake. It was Hermione, looking lovely in a thick charcoal sweater and casual black corduroys, her knees drawn up to her chest, arms wrapped tightly round her legs.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone would be out here this early," Draco said easily and walked to the bench. "Do you mind if I join you? - or I could just go…" he added haltingly after seeing the black look on her face.
Hermione was startled to hear someone speak to her, let alone Draco. She had, in fact, been thinking of him, trying to make sense of things, of things Harry had said. She also felt somewhat pleased to see him. A fortnight had passed since the duel and she had not spoken to Draco since. But all that just didn't seem important now. Not after speaking with Ginny.
"No, don't go. Sit down. Please." Hermione moved over from the middle of the small bench and Draco sat, close enough for his thigh to brush against hers.
"Coffee?" He offered her his mug.
"Oh, sure." She took a drink, feeling the warmth flow over her tongue and down her throat. "Thanks. That's good coffee. I usually take tea." Her sonorous voice was like music to his ears.
Draco grinned and took the steaming mug, raising it to his own lips. They sat in comfortable quiet for a while, listening to the gentle lapping of the lake water licking at the shore.
"You know, I really am sorry about the champagne…that night at McGonagall's." Hermione glanced sheepishly at him.
He gave a low chuckle. "Yeah…, and what am I doing handing you a scalding hot beverage this morning…" Then he added, "I probably deserved it-"
"No," she interrupted, "You were being very gentlemanly, apologizing to me and I-"
"Hermione." He placed his free hand over hers and looked deeply into her dark-brown eyes, "I want you to know I am sorry I caused you so much pain with the horrible things I said and did to you."
She returned his deep look and nodded slightly. "Thank you for saying that."
"In those days," he continued cautiously, "I was under my father's control. I'm not proud of it nor of the things I did, but it is what it is and I'm sorry for it."
Hermione looked fixedly at Draco. She had never considered Draco may have been at odds with his father's world view. She took the coffee in both hands and took another sip, remaining silent, waiting to see if he would continue opening up to her. It felt comfortable and safe; the silence, his company, and sharing his coffee. She was glad he had happened upon her this morning.
When it seemed as though he would say no more, she chanced it.
"Draco?" she probed, softly.
"Yes," He was ready to answer honestly anything she asked.
"What was it like…growing up as Lucius Malfoy's son?"
He didn't look at her, but continued to stare out over the lake, its gray surface mirrored in his eyes. Draco felt her intense gaze and he knew he must tell her the truth. If he wanted this woman in his life, he knew he had to be as honest as he could be. She deserved nothing less.
He told her about his mother and happy childhood with her love protecting him from Lucius who was hardly ever around in Draco's early years, always off with the Death Eaters. He spoke of how his mother took all the abuse for him until the year before he entered Hogwarts. Then his father suddenly took a vested interest in Draco's so called coming of age.
Draco told Hermione of the fear, physical abuse, and mind control Lucius had used against him during those years; how he could never really be himself at school. At that time Draco didn't even know who he was, only who his father said he should be.
Hermione listened without interruption or judgment. She only moved to take the coffee from him every now and again, never taking her eyes off Draco's resolute porcelain features.
Draco went on to tell her about his jealously of Harry, who had true friends in herself and Ron. He told her he had wanted Harry's friendship that very first year, trying to bully him to get it that first night on the stone steps. He confessed he did not feel as his father felt about muggle-borns, but in his youth, and naivety, he believed he had no recourse but to do as his father instructed. Lucius was cunning; he knew how much Draco loved his mother so Lucius would mistreat and mishandle her on account of Draco's transgressions.
Draco took pause before finally forging on. He revealed his anxiety and fear in their sixth year when he had been instructed by Lord Voldemort to murder Dumbledore. Hermione was barely breathing when Draco divulged what his father had said to him regarding Draco's task.
"Lucius swore to me if I didn't do as the Dark Lord instructed, he would kill me and mother; that is if there was anything let of us after Voldemort was done…" Draco's eyes glistened with moisture for in instant and he inhaled deeply. He sighed and gained control of his emotions completely and masterfully; he had many years of practice hiding his true feelings.
They sat quietly for a while as the last of the coffee went cold in the mug and the chill in the air intensified.
Hermione had a million more questions she wanted to ask, but she also knew now was not the time. Instead, she spoke softly.
"Draco, I'm sorry you lived through that hell. We don't get to choose our parents, or how they treat us, but it makes me happy to see you've been strong enough to rise above it and be the person you'd wanted to be, by your own choice. That takes strength and courage."
He gazed at her with a bit of wonder and hope.
She covered his hand with her small one and smiled sweetly. "I forgive you, Draco."
Draco felt his heart swell, the warmth from her touch flooding through him. He longed to lean towards her, pull her close and gently kiss her petaline lips.
Hermione again saw truth in his eyes, and gratitude. She felt a peculiar desire for Draco to kiss her and as they stared at each other, she thought for one fleeting moment that he would.
"Draco," she said on impulse, "Would you like to join me for drinks tonight in my suite? I'm having a bit of a soiree…"
He was momentarily stunned. "I'd be delighted. What time shall I come round?" he asked smiling broadly.
She returned his smile. "You could drop by a bit early, say, just before eight or so? But listen, I've got a few things to do…" She stood and as she did, snowflakes began to fall from the steely sky. She looked up, her cheeks and nose glowing pink from the brisk air, the flakes drifting slowly down around her and landing in her brown curls. Draco swore to himself he had never seen a more beautiful sight; this woman before him had forgiven him and with her forgiveness, had released his heart from a prison that had held it for as long as he could remember.
"It's snowing!" she exclaimed laughing and held her hands out while slowly twirling around. Draco watched the innocent happiness on her face; he wanted so much to be a part of her life, to share in that happiness.
"So it is," he laughed with her.
"Well," she exhaled, suddenly breathless; her face a flush with anticipation, "I'll see you later then."
Draco watched her go and as she vanished behind the thicket making her way back to the castle, he turned back to the lake. He continued to look out across the gray glass surface for a long while, eyes blank and staring.
"Merlin, help me with what I must do," he muttered and taking out his wand, tapped the ruby ring, placed his hand inconspicuously under his chin and summoned his contact to report the latest information…
Hermione had come in from the cold feeling exhilarated. She graded essays for her fourth years, wrote a few lesson plans for her advanced sixth year research group and arranged her private quarters in preparation for the gathering that evening. Only few close friends would be there; Cho and Michael, Neville and Luna, and Ginny and Harry had promised to stop by after their dinner date in Hogsmeade. And Draco. She still could not believe she had invited him; it had seemed right at the time but as the evening drew near she felt more and more wary. With Harry coming, she began to dread the tension.
It had been so comfortable and natural that morning talking to Draco, listening to him. What he had told her about his mother and father had touched her deeply. There was so much more to him then she'd ever realized and she wanted to know more about the person he had become.
To calm her nerves she decided to take a hot bubble bath with a glass of Pinot Grigio, her favorite wine. Her bathroom here at work was fantastic, marble tile and a huge tub with lion head faucets; a walk-in steam shower with multiple shower heads to douse one from head to toe. One wall was mirrored and another had a huge window looking out onto the lake. The sunset was blazing red this evening; having finally found a fracture in the clouds, it gave a mighty burst of light before sinking below the trees of the Forbidden Forest.
"Mmm", Hermione let out a sigh as she felt the hot water releasing the tension in her neck and shoulders. She was always tight from continually hunching over books and parchment. She leaned back into her bath pillow and took a sip of wine, her mind wandering to Draco.
She called to mind how great he had looked this morning, his fit form evident under his sweater and jeans. She blushed to think about what was under those clothes…she thought about the touch of his hand in the Three Broomsticks and how she had felt when he leaned in close. She imagined again what it would be like to feel his strong arms around her, to be kissed by him. Twice now, she had thought that he was about to and he had not. Hermione now knew, without a doubt, she wanted him to kiss her and if he gave any inclination this evening, she would acquiesce.
Yes, she knew in her heart she wanted it, but in her head she still wasn't quite sure if it was right. She, Hermione Granger, had always chosen to do the right thing, had she not? She had thought taking the next step with Ron was the right thing but as it turned out, it most certainly was not- and now it seemed their friendship was damaged beyond repair.
"Maybe this time I should follow my heart and not my head." Hermione drained the glass and poured a second, determined to enjoy the rest of her bath thinking about Draco and where the night may take them.
Hermione was pleased with the stage she had set for the gathering in her quarters. Festive, contemporary Jazz played quietly in the background, warm soft lighting flooded the sitting room, and a merry fire danced upon her hearth. She had prepared canapés herself, the muggle way, and placed them on the sideboard next to the drinks. She was dressed to perfection in a low-cut black halter-top of soft, gauzy fabric and white fitted slacks which hugged her waist and hips, flaring generously at her ankles. Lastly she wore her little black ankle straps, the ones Draco had admired that night in September at McGonagall's.
At the last minute, she was vacillating on whether to wear her hair up or down when there came a gentle rapping on the door.
"Oh, Merlin, I guess down it is." She glanced at her reflection one last time, satisfied with what she saw and hustled to the door. When she opened it, her heart truly skipped a beat. Draco looked fantastic clad in black tailored trousers, expensive leather shoes, and a steel blue-gray dress shirt over a black-cotton-T. The effect made his eyes stand out intensely and for a moment she was mesmerized.
Draco was pleased with Hermione's reaction; he knew he looked great tonight, had made sure of it. He was always prepared. What he wasn't prepared for was how he'd feel when he saw Hermione; she was drop-dead gorgeous. Any old day, he loved how she looked and she always turned him on but, this… tonight she was breathtaking.
"May I come in?" he asked, and flashed a charming grin.
"Yes, of course" she managed. Her eyes roved his fit frame and already she was seriously considering laying more then her eyes on him. She stepped aside and watched him amble into the sitting room.
After a quick glance down the corridor, Hermione closed the door and glided past him to the sideboard. "What can I get you to drink? I've got butterbeer, fire whiskey, white wine…and I've mixed magic martinis…"
She felt warmth close behind her and then soft breath fan her ear.
"Whatever you're having..." his low, drawling voice came over her. Hermione shuddered at his overwhelming presence standing inches behind her. She closed her eyes as he swept his fingers up her bare back, between her shoulder blades to find the sweet spot at the nape of her neck. His fingers stroked and caressed, eliciting heat and leaving her craving more.
"You look beautiful, Hermione."
"Would you like a martini, then?" she asked anxiously. He was so close, his delicious scent, now so familiar, surrounded her. Her skin was tingling where he had touched her.
"What I want…is to kiss you."
Hermione turned, looking eagerly into his consuming gaze. Her head swam, her heart kicked wildly against her ribs and she felt a quickening of her pulse. Draco's hand grazed past her hip to rest on the small of her back; his other touched her cheek, his fingers trailing down her jaw to her chin and gently tilting her face up to his, he pressed her body close.
She was trembling, falling into the depths of his silver-blue eyes. He came closer by degrees, and as she closed her eyes she felt his warm soft lips brush hers.
Draco felt her quivering in his arms, her breath coming in short quick pants. Her vulnerability, her innocence excited him beyond measure. Her luscious scent veiled him; she was like a delicate flower, beautiful to behold, blissful to breathe in. And when he kissed her, she sighed against his mouth sending shock waves of desire rippling through him. He felt her body giving in to his touch and she wrapped her arms around his neck, increasing his ardor.
Hermione ran her hands through Draco's hair, so silky it tickled her fingers. She arched her back, pressing into him, wanting him to deepen their kiss. But then, he pulled away and Hermione opened her eyes to see his- haunting, mysterious and full of question.
"Hermione," he whispered huskily, "Is it right?"
She needed a minute to come back to herself; she had though he was there, with her, lost in their kiss.
"It's…it feels… a little fast" she admitted, and blinked back at him, waiting to see what he would do, where he would take them; for she was sure, at this moment, she would give into his advances.
"I want it to be right, Hermione…right for you. Merlin knows I want you, but I won't push you."
She could see he was struggling, trying to hold back. His arms were still around her and part of her wanted to clear the sideboard in one fell swoop and pull him down on top of her. The other part of her was scared to death of how much she wanted him.
"I… let's just…take it slow," she whispered, her forehead resting on his chest.
Draco rested his chin lightly on top of her curls and murmured into her hair, "It's important to me that you're comfortable, that this is what you want, as much as I do; that I'm what you want."
At these tender words, they stood with their arms around each other, feeling a simmering heat flickering between them, enjoying it, and knowing for now it was all they had.
~`*`~ ~`*`~ ~`*`~
Many moments later, Draco was seated comfortably in Hermione's sitting room taking liberal swigs of his fire whiskey, while she got herself a glass of wine. Her guests would be arriving shortly and Draco felt he needed more than one drink to deal with the evening ahead.
"You finesse your students well. I admire the control you have in your classroom. And for such a young teacher too," he said earnestly. "Youngest to be appointed at Hogwarts no less."
Hermione gave a small smile. Thank you, and what of your discipline techniques?" She joined him, but chose a chair opposite instead of next to him on the sofa as he had hoped.
"Oh, I scare the daylights out of the boys and endear myself to the girls. Needless to say, I've got them eating out of my hands." His eyes twinkled with mirth and Hermione wasn't sure if he was joking or being serious.
"What do you mean, 'endear yourself'?" Her eyes narrowed. "I hear you're the subject of many a school-girl fantasy."
"And since when have I not been?"
"Was I the subject of your school-girl fantasies, Hermione?"
A reflective look swept Hermione's face and she was about to reply with something snappy when there was a knock at the door.
Draco was disappointed and more than a little annoyed their private time was over. And furthermore he would have to endure the lackluster company of her mostly mundane friends, when what he really wanted was alone time with Hermione. This, he found remarkably irksome.
From the misty tone wafting into the room, he didn't need to guess who it was at the door. Luna and Neville entered, and then Draco heard Cho Chang's bright salutation, a singsong quality to her voice. At least Cho wasn't a total bore; she was actually an engaging conversationalist and knew how to have a good time. Even though Draco thought these people were quite dreary, he would endure it; endure anything for the chance to be near Hermione.
"Hellooo Draco!" Cho bounded toward him and he rose from the couch into her hug and kiss on the cheek.
Cho's latest beau, Michael Connor nodded his head. "Hi-ya, Draco."
Luna and Neville joined them, drinks in hand. Draco rubbed the back of his neck with his palm feeling tense and uncomfortable in this tight social situation with people he remembered as detesting him and vice versa.
"Draco, said Neville jovially, "I have that plant ready, the one you need for the Drought of Living Death antidote. If you want to stop by my office anytime this week…"
"Excellent, Longbottom. Why don't you just bring it by the potions dungeon for me?"
"Uh- yeah. Sure Draco, no problem."
"Why are you making Drought of Living Death antidote, Draco?" Luna inquired idly.
Draco frowned, annoyed with what he considered nosy snooping. "My Advanced Potions group- a bit of a challenge for them…they're very bright…"
"Hmm… yes, it sounds it. Drought of Living Death antidote is very advanced potion making."
"Draco, how are you!" Parvati Patil's voice rang out and she came dragging Dean Thomas behind her.
"Dean-" said Draco, nodding in his direction, ignoring Parvati. He was reminded of Pansy and her blatant attempts to win his attention.
"Oi, Malfoy. Gryffindor got your Slytherins on the run this year, eh?
"Don't count us out yet. Our seeker is quite talented; reminds me of myself…"
The men launched into an animated Qudditch discussion and the women drifted off to gather around and sample the canapés Hermione was famous for. Hermione caught Draco's eye from across the room and they exchanged a smoldering, heated look. She was pleased; her friends seemed to be accepting Draco into the fold.
Outside Hermione's door, Ginny was running Harry the riot act.
"Draco is here tonight, Harry, and Hermione wants him to be here. If I were you, I'd think about her feelings tonight and not my own."
"I'm not going to pretend to be his best mate, for Merlin's sake."
Ginny sighed. "No one is asking you to do that, just be civil. Don't hang him up by his ankle in other words…" She grinned wryly and wrapped her arms around him.
"You owe me, for this." Harry's voice simmered with mischief.
"I'll be forever in your debt, Mr. Potter." Ginny stood on her tiptoes and kissed him sweetly.
"Mmm, come back here; more of that please…" Harry held her tight and caught her lips up again with his own.
"Harry!" Ginny pulled back as his kiss heated up. "Don't get carried away…" His hands had started to roam down to the hem of her sweater, his fingers ducking beneath to find her warm skin.
"I can't wait until you're Mrs. Potter," Harry growled into her flaming red hair.
"We've a party to attend." She tried to wiggle from his grip.
"I'd rather take you home and-"
"Alright, alright," he sighed, "Let's go 'make nice' with Malfoy. Merlin! What a shity alternative to my idea for the rest of this evening…"
A few hours later, guests began to leave as the evening wound down. Draco and Harry had not exchanged two words all night, only threatening glares. The mood, however, was so festive that no one but Ginny and Hermione had seemed to notice.
"Thanks Hermione…"
"…great night…"
"Good show…"
"…had fun…"
"We had a lovely time…"
She stood in the entryway, seeing her guests out and Draco took this cue to leave; he could not be held responsible for what he might do if left alone with Hermione.
She followed him into the hallway to say their goodbyes in private. He faced her, leaning into the stone wall, while flickering torch flames cast long shadows that danced upon the floor. Hands in his pockets, he gazed intently at her with a wicked grin about his lips.
"What," she whispered, "are you smiling about?"
"Just thinking about earlier, the way you kissed me…"
"You kissed me," she purred back, inching closer to him.
"Oh- right. I guess I did…" Draco pulled his hands from his pockets and lacing his fingers with hers, pulled her close.
"I think you should know," he breathed, "I've wanted you this close to me for a very long time."
"How long?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." He ran his hand up her arm to her shoulder and tousled a springy curl.
"Hmm, let me guess…" she murmured.
Alright, then." He kissed her nose. "Guess."
"Um…since our fourth year, after the Yule Ball?"
Draco's heart stopped. He stepped back to study her face, which was awash in mischievous pleasure.
"Am I correct, Professor Malfoy?"
"How on earth would you know that? I told no one of my secret feelings for you."
"I saw you staring at me all night at the Ball, ignoring your date. Did you finally get to…er… have a good time, later on, thinking about me…in your dorm?"
Draco chuckled throatily. "Why you little minx; how would you know that?" He embraced her tightly again, feeling his blood churn, coursing and burning through his veins. "Was I that obvious to you?"
"Mmhm, girls sense those things."
"Then tell me Miss Granger…What do you sense now?"
It was Hermione's turn to give a throaty chuckle. "I sense that you are far more dangerous to me now then you were back then, and I would do well to get as far away from you a possible before…"
"Before what?" Draco held her hard against him as if he'd never let go. She didn't answer him, only stared with a heady, needful look.
"Not quite the answer I was hoping for. But you're right, you are in danger…"
"Should I be frightened?"
"Why? Do I frighten you Hermione?"
"Do you want me to?"
"Shut up."
"Kiss me then," he demanded.
"Why not?"
"Because, Draco Malfoy, you don't tell me what to do," she teased.
"Will you kiss me then?" He played along, enjoying their arousing banter.
"Are you begging me?"
He regarded her thoughtfully, his gaze penetrating her, piercing her. She felt almost violated by the sheer intensity of it.
"Is that where you want me Hermione? On my knees?"
There was seriousness to his voice that made her doubt if he was playing anymore. It took her off guard and she felt exposed, as if he knew she was taking pleasure in the sense of power she got from stringing him along.
"I'm not sure where I want you," she confessed.
"How about naked- in your bed?"
Hermione tossed her curls and laughed, heartily.
"You think I'm joking? Oh, and speaking of Balls…"
"Winter Balls! You know music, dancing...gee Granger, I didn't know you'd such a dirty mind. I like it."
She smacked him a good one and he grabbed her wrists lightly in his hands pulling her arms around his waist.
"You will be accompanying me to the bleeding thing… the Winter Ball that is."
"Are you asking me to be your date?"
"No, I'm telling you that I am your date, Professor Granger. Really, I thought you were much more quick-witted than this…"
That comment earned him another playful smack. Draco took her wrist again. "Easy now, Granger. What's with all this abuse? I'm beginning to think you don't like me very much." His tongue darted out to wet his bottom lip, a casual gesture she came to associate with ardent feelings on his part.
"Oh, I think I like you well enough."
"So you'll go to the Ball with me?"
"I'll think about it." She leaned in, turning her face up to him and just as Draco was about to taste her lips once more. The door to her suite opened.
Harry cleared his throat, noticeably uneasy at witnessing the close proximity of Hermione to Draco.
"Er- Hermione? Ginny and I are gonna get going…"
"Yes, thank you for a lovely time," Ginny said, striding over to Hermione to hug her goodbye. "Let's talk soon," she whispered in Hermione's ear.
"Thank you for coming." Hermione called out as she watched Ginny catch up with Harry who was already disappearing around the corner.
She turned back to Draco and he took her hand, bringing it to his lips.
"You think about it then…" He kissed her fingertips, lingering just long enough to hint at his hesitancy to leave her. Then he turned and strode away down the darkened corridor as Hermione gazed longingly after him.
A/N: this chapter took me longer to tweak. It's the pivotal chapter in Hermione & Draco's relationship so I wanted it to be the best I could make it. (reviews please : D)
I hope it lives up to your expectations. Reviews appreciated! = )

Ban on Gay Bias in Schools Passes California Assembly Committee
A bill to ban discrimination against lesbian and gay students has for the first time passed a California Assembly committee. The bill was introduced by the California legislature's first openly gay member, Assemblywoman Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica).
Currently in California students cannot be discriminated on the basis of race, religion, education, national origin or disability. Kuehl said her bill simply adds sexual orientation to that list.
Kuehl's bill still must go through more committees and then be voted on by the full legislature. It is not clear whether the bill will pass.

New York—Accessories Directions, Accessories magazine's trend forecasting service, is giving a behind the scenes look at the leading trends for the Spring/Summer 2013 season in a webinar next week.
In the past, forecasting presentations were given here in New York, which were successful but were unavailable to those outside Manhattan, or even the United States.

What kind of computer do I have to use?
Any computer, PC or Mac, should be sufficient to view the webinar. Your confirmation email also includes a simple test to make sure your computer's system will show the webinar without any problem. Since you'll be seeing product details and other visuals, it is probably best to view the webinar on a large computer monitor.
What if I have a question or comment during webinar?
While your webinar is running, you will be able to submit any questions or comments to the host Nicole Philip-Kronenberg, fashion editor at Accessories, and the Accessories Directions team. Please allow seven business days to get a response to any submission.

Victims of Crime
This page provides an overview of victims of crime information and resources. For more specific information concerning specific Victims of Crime topics - see the specific pages for Child Abuse and Neglect, Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, Alcohol and Substance Abuse, Juvenile Justice, and Elder Abuse. For more specific information concerning specific Victims of Crime programs - see Violence Against Indian Women, Tribal CJA Resources, and Tribal Court CASA.
Two divisions of the U.S. Justice Department focus on victims of crime issues: the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) was established by the 1984 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) to oversee diverse programs that benefit victims of crime. OVC provides substantial Funding to State Victim Assistance and Compensation Programs—the lifeline services that help victims to heal. The agency supports Trainings designed to educate criminal justice and allied professionals regarding the rights and needs of crime victims. OVC also sponsors an annual event in April to commemorate National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW). OVC is one of five bureaus and four offices with grant-making authority within the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. OVC's Divisions and Units include Terrorism and International Victims Unit (TIVU); Technical Assistance, Publications, and Information Resources Unit(TAPIR); Federal Assistance Division (FCVD); State Compensation and Assistance Division (SCAD); and Special Projects Division (SPD). For more information concerning OVC - see the OVC Fact Sheet What is the Office for Victims of Crime. For more information concerning crime victims - see What You Can Do If You Are a Victim of Crime.
Violence Against Women Office (OVW)
Since its inception in 1995, the Violence Against Women Office, now the Office on Violence Against Women (the Office) has handled the Department's legal and policy issues regarding violence against women, coordinated Departmental efforts, provided national and international leadership, received international visitors interested in learning about the federal government's role in addressing violence against women, and responded to requests for information regarding violence against women. The Office works closely with other components of OJP, the Office of Legal Policy, the Office of Legislative Affairs, the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Immigration and Naturalization Office, the Executive Office for United States Attorneys, U.S. Attorneys' Offices, and state, tribal and local jurisdictions to implement the mandates of the Violence Against Women Act and Subsequent Legislation. Under the violence against women Grant Programs administered by the Department of Justice, the Office has awarded more than $1 billion in grant funds, making over 1,250 discretionary grants and over 350 STOP (Services, Training, Officers, Prosecutors) formula grants to the states and territories. These grant programs help state, tribal, and local governments and community-based agencies to train personnel, establish specialized domestic violence and sexual assault units, assist victims of violence, and hold perpetrators accountable. More than 6,500 STOP subgrants have supported community partnerships among police, prosecutors, victim advocates, and others to address violence against women.
National Crime Victim Law Institute
Established in 2000, the National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI) is committed to the enforcement and protection of victims' rights in the criminal justice system. It is the only organization of its kind in the United States. Over the last decade there has been a new interest in victims' rights, leading to a flood of legislation and state constitutional amendments. Historically, however, there has been little academic attention paid to this rapidly growing area of the law, and no academic institution has undertaken a focused effort to study and enhance the effectiveness of victim rights laws. The legal education of law students, practitioners and judges is a critical need. NCVLI is helping to incorporate the topic of crime victim law into law school curriculum. Additionally, NCVLI is meeting the needs of practicing attorneys, judges, and advocates who work with victims in the field by providing information, research, and legal analysis about victim laws. NCVLI's Executive Director, Doug Beloof, has authored the casebook, Victims in Criminal Procedure, the first casebook to be published in this area of law. NCVLI is also working to develop a library collection of victim rights materials to serve as a national resource. The law school's library will be an archive for historical documents and will hold an extensive collection of victim material. As a component of the information gathering process, the Institute is developing the National Crime Victim Law Database as an Internet site, which will be equally accessible to lawyers, scholars and grassroots activists. The database will contain information regarding statutes, cases and briefs concerning victims in criminal law and procedure in the United States and, eventually, around the world. The goal of this database is to provide free access to state and federal crime victim laws. Through legal education, scholarship, information resources and legal advocacy, NCVLI actively promotes balance and fairness in the justice system. The NCVLI site includes web pages on Violence Against Women Project; Crime Victim Litigation Clinic; National Crime Victims Rights Amendment; National Alliance of Victims Rights Attorneys; Victim Law Litigation Topics; and Resources.

My husband and I lost one of our young stray kitties today. Lilliput - aka Lilli - was run over flat by a car earlier on today, after very likely being chased by a rowdy neighborhood tom cat, who's owners REFUSE to have him neutered. Now one of our beloved street-babies is gone. Lilli was a highly curious and feisty girl, always the FIRST to run to us for food. She was particularly close to my husband. Poor thing.
The two of us are members of organizations Companion Animal Trust and Neighborhood Cats. Incidentally, "Picture Purrfect" was a hit with Companion Animal Trust, so they've decided to display it on their face book page. My husband and I are working towards resolving the feral cat crisis in our Jersey City neighborhood. Despite the lack of trust, support, and cooperation we receive from most of our neighbors, we hope to accomplish our goal through a safe and humane method known as, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).
If you're interested in addressing a feral or stray cat problem in your area, and wish to reduce the number of multiplying kitties or hate to see them being put down - then TNR is the ONLY way to go.. It's work, but it's extremely successful. The ONLY effective way to ensure that feral cats don't multiply out of control, and can coexist with humans in harmony.
We've had some major set backs thanks to some people in our neighborhood. It's been an incredibly hard road so far, even though my husband and I have been SO VERY patient and informative. I won't go in to the ugly details, but we've lost 7 of our cats out of the 10 we were successfully managing.. We won't give up on the remaining strays that come to us still.. Lilli will be a constant reminder that EVERY DAY for these cats is a struggle for survival on the city-streets.
At least TWO of the young adult strays we feed are very social - they come to us and let us pet them. One is a male stray, who we call Rango. The other an abandoned house kitty, a female I've named Fifi. I know I can find them homes. They are very good cats...

Weak locking could lead to corruption when using sysfs to switch state from multiple threads or processes. The state transitions are now all atomic.

This is amazing.
Sure, it's the exact same thing I say to a lot of stuff (with a few variations: usually it's 'beautiful' or 'awesome' or 'extremely epic'). But this deserves it.
And that is also exactly the same thing I say to every story I like. With a few variations.
Noo, don't think about that one story I didn't like... eesh...

wow... I loved it!What i liked the most was the "i had two dreams..." thing
| Kat-lady04 chapter 1 . 9/11/2008
That was lovely. I know it probably wasn't meant to be with it being corpse bride and all, but it was. I loved your imagery (as usual) and think you are a wonderful writer.

Poem by Hans Christian Andersen
I adore Hans Christian Andersen's work. He's the creator of stories like "
The Little Mermaid
" (no, it wasn't Disney
), "
The Emperor's New Clothes
" (again no, it wasn't Disney
), "
The Princess and the Pea
", "
The Ugly Duckly
", and
many, many more
I found this today at
The Hans Christian Andersen Center
. I cried when I read it but thought it was so beautiful. Hans Christian Andersen was an incredibly gifted individual whose talent has yet to be challenged. Have a tissue ready.
The Dying Child
By Hans Christian Andersen.
Mother, I'm tired, and I would fain be sleeping;
Let me repose upon thy bosom sick;
But promise me that thou wilt leave off weeping,
Because thy tears fall hot upon my cheek.
Here it is cold: the tempest raveth madly;
But in my dreams all is so wondrous bright;
I see the angel-children smiling gladly,
When from my weary eyes I shut out light.
Mother, one stands beside me now! and, listen!
Dost thou not hear the music's sweet accord?
See how his white wings beautifully glisten?
Surely those wings were given him by the Lord!
Green, gold, and red, are floating all around me;
They are the flowers the angel scattereth.
Should I have also wings while life has bound me?
Or, mother, are they given alone in death?
Why dost thou clasp me as if I were going?
Why dost thou press thy cheek so unto mine?
Thy cheek is hot, and yet thy tears are flowing!
I will, dear mother, will be always thine!
Do not sigh thus it marreth my reposing;
But if thou weep, then I must weep with thee!
Ah, I am tired my weary eyes are closing
Look, mother, look! the angel kisseth me!

A Story of Great Vision
Throughout its 72-year history, Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey has been a thought leader in the programs and services offered to those with profound vision loss. What began as a summer residential camp for blind women has grown into an organization that offers unique state-of-the-art programs. Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey has been ahead of its time every step of the way.
Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey traces its origins to 1943, when a group of individuals met in a Newark basement to address societal bias against people who, like themselves, were blind or had profound vision loss. They formed the New Jersey Association for the Blind and started the state's first summer residential camp program in Denville, NJ, offering respite to women who were blind. The founders focused on women's needs because they had fewer options for leading an independent life at that time. Under the name NJ Foundation for the Blind, the summer camp expanded its offerings to provide life-skills training to help those with profound vision loss live more independent lives.
Focusing on Essential Life Skills
Over time, it became evident that providing tools to promote independence was key to helping individuals with profound vision loss. Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey recognized this growing need, and in the 1990's expanded its mission from just providing care, to focusing on teaching basic and essential life skills, as well as providing health and wellness activities year-round. While the residential camp still ran in the summer, a day program that fostered independence and self-sufficiency was established during the remainder of the year. It remains the only day program of its kind for individuals with profound vision loss in the state of New Jersey.
In 2005, Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey made the decision to focus solely on its mission of helping individuals with profound vision loss continue to live active and independent lives. To improve access to its programs, they sold their large property, de-centralized its program model, and in 2010 opened program locations in additional counties. Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey now offers a full continuum of programs in Denville, and select programs in Montclair, Ridgewood and Sparta.
A New Phase of Growth
Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey has begun a new phase in its growth, and now approaches the future with renewed determination to remain a leader, offering innovative programs as well as expanded accessibility to individuals affected by profound vision loss.
Looking to the future with optimism, Vision Loss Alliance of New Jersey will continue to provide a lifeline to all those with profound vision loss, and a safe haven where their needs are understood and their dignity is acknowledged as we guide them through programs that will help them lead a more independent life.

From Sjusjøen, you can ski to Hamar and Elverum, ski the popular Birkebeiner trail from Rena to Lillehammer or follow the Troll trail to Rondane National Park. In summer, we have an extensive network of paths, and the large network of mountain and summer pasture roads means there are well-marked and sign-posted cycling routes that are suitable for cyclists at all levels.
