Tough Luxe
The two-tone mix of polished and blackened brass in this set of three organically shaped solid brass bowls gives any space a touch of smokey glamour. They're great on your desktop or nightstand to help organize your daily clutter.
Every piece in our collection of brass bibelots is sand cast in solid brass then polished to perfection by hand. Like a fine wine or your favorite leather jacket, our brass only gets better with age. Over time, the polished brass will develop a rich natural patina. If desired, buff out fingerprints and surface scratches with a dollop of brass polish and a microfiber cloth. And here's a nifty designer's tip: if you have no patience for patina, drop your brass in a bucket of acetone (but only at your own risk).
• polished and blackened solid brass • large bowl: 7" long x 3.5" wide x 1.75" high • medium bowl: 5.5" long x 4" wide x 1.5" high • small bowl: 3" long x 2.5" wide x 1" high • sale items are final sale

SANTA CLARA Nnamdi Asomugha said Sunday that every older cornerback inevitably starts to lose the speed, quickness and skills that carried him early in his career.
But he's certain he's not at that stage yet.
When he watches film of himself from recent practices and Thursday's game, Asomugha said he's been pleased by what he sees and encouraged that the last two lousy years in Philadelphia were an anomaly.
"I've been out there making plays and doing a lot of the things that I know I can do," the 32-year-old cornerback said. "So my confidence is in a good place."
That assessment was different than the one defensive coordinator Vic Fangio gave last week when he said the "jury was still out" on Asomugha.
"He's had some good days out here and some days where you weren't sure if he was going to still have it," Fangio said. "I think we're kind of in between with him right now. Hopefully he'll be able to still have some gas left in his tank to go out there and play like he did prior to going to Philadelphia."
Asomugha, who is perhaps the most reserved player on the team, wasn't rattled by the tepid review. He said outside criticism is never going to be as intense as what he gives himself.
"I'm highly critical of myself highly, highly critical of myself," he said. "So there's not much that someone else might say that makes me feel like I need to be motivated in a different way. Like I said, I'm a self-motivated guy. And I'm probably saying worse (things) than the next guy's saying anyway."
Like most of the 49ers' defensive players, Asomugha had a strong game against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. Playing with the second-string unit, he had two jarring tackles on wide receivers and also was not timid about diving into the pile on running plays. With Tarell Brown and Tramaine Brock sitting out recent practices, Asomugha has served as the starting cornerback alongside Carlos Rogers.
He acknowledged that the two seasons in Philadelphia shook his confidence.
Asomugha was the biggest name in free agency in 2011, and the one-time Raider signed a five-year deal worth $60 million. He and the Eagles' defense faltered from the start, and Asomugha was a particular liability on deep throws when matched against speedy receivers.
He signed a no-frills, one-year deal with San Francisco, determined to bounce back. And so far, he said, he's on the right course.
"I feel great," Asomugha said. "It's looking, you know, good. And it's encouraging. Not (because of) the age that I am but what I've been through. There are moments there along the way where I need to see some of that progress just for self encouragement. I've seen it."
As for Fangio's comments, Asomugha wondered whether the coach was making sure he didn't begin to ease off in practice the way some veterans might.
Inside the meeting room, he said, the reviews have been more positive.
"This isn't a group that will yell at you and curse you out if something's going on," he said of the 49ers' coaching staff. " I've been telling guys that's the thing I love most about this coaching staff, is the positive reinforcement and encouragement."

Olympic Snowboarder Hannah Teter Talks Skincare, Snacking & Competition
Written on February 1, 2012 at 12:14 pm , by April Franzino
We were lucky enough to spend the past weekend in Aspen (pinch us!) with Clearasil watching their ambassador, Olympic gold medal-winning snowboarder Hannah Teter, win the women's superpipe bronze medal at the Winter X Games— while celebrating the launch of PerfectaWash, a high-tech, hands-free system that dispenses the just-right amount of acne-fighting salicylic acid cleanser. Here, our conversation with the inspiring pro snowboarder, who's as down-to-earth, adorable and kind as she is talented:
A snap of Hannah at the birthday party Clearasil threw for her Friday night, which raised over $1,000 for the charity Children International.

Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal (D) has been using his position to ensure that Republicans cannot advance a constitutional amendment overturning marriage equality in Iowa. On Tuesday, The FAMiLY LEADER and National Organization for Marriage will rally in the Iowa State Capitol and deliver petitions from Iowans who support such an amendment, but Gronstal told blogger AKSARBENT he is unfazed by the effort. He pointed out that the ousting of the Iowa Supreme Court Justices who ruled for same-sex marriage was not as big a success as Bob Vander Plaats claimed, and Iowa has never voted to take rights away from citizens.

if these r real then i suggest u should move cuz spirits tat r not affraid of light usually r some sort of demon/devil.
Willkillyouall March 8, 2011 7:24:04 PM CET
fake, easy to do. electro magnets in door and frame. somebody behind camera prompting the dogs.notice the overhang on the kitchen roll perfect for creating spin if pulled down physicaly or mechanicaly. i have had real experiences but unfortunatly not on camera yet.oh and a bug as an orb.
Athenascurse February 12, 2011 11:46:54 AM CET
I also add. The radio interference is normal when a spirit is trying to manifest. We are witnessing the ability to manipulate these spirits have with magnetic and electromagnetic channeling even if dead.And it makes a lot of sense since we ourselves as the living can channel our own frequency of energy. It teaches you how little we view our own powers.
Athenascurse February 12, 2011 11:42:13 AM CET
Studied plenty of ghost videos in my time. The dogs are reacting with the movement of the spirit. That door could not be faked, no matter what people are assuming.This video is clearly real.If you listen and watch when the roll of paper towels gets hit and flies onto the couch the dog immediately barks.That bark was not a random bark that was a bark that most watch dogs make when someone is near the house. Or at the door. They see whatever it is. And do not want to stay in the same room with it for too long.Ghosts can be interactive with our plain.Great footage. Definitely need to get more.
Latinjoy December 11, 2010 7:43:12 PM CET
i can see too. just keep looking at the door. the thing is there all the time kind of blurry(dimentional). thanks. :)
Purplehaze65 October 15, 2010 11:36:21 PM CEST
i m most impressed by the door work, u can not make a door do that with a piece of string, u can clearly see that the door is kicked or punched, but if u use a green or blue stick u might be able to produce such an effect.i dont mean to say it is fake, but that doesnt mean i believe it is the real deal, think of what must have motivated an inteligent conscious being to randomly open and shut a closet door and throw around a roll of tissues, the actions of this ghost are deffinately aimed on maximising dramatic effect, hmmm,... why would that be? it must be completely aware of the camera and its purpose, so if this is real you clearly have a ghost here willing and able to cooperate in proving ghosts are real.try make contact and see what its intentions are.
Digitalerror April 29, 2010 7:36:12 PM CEST
IF it's Real please provide more Video. should be easy....
Sinestro February 24, 2010 11:04:13 PM CET
ok to all the people who believe this is fake... how do you think the door opened and shut tightly? to the point of which i can see and hear the doorknob click? there ain't no way and i repeat no way to put wire of any kind on a round dorknob that could make a door open or close it would have slipped off the orb could be dust? but clearly the dogs are not trained they are in fact scared of something dogs can percieve images that we humans can't because of they're eye structure and they also have the ability to sense elctromagnetic anomallies such as earthquakes that is a fact look it up. but most importantly ...i dare anyone to try and make a video like this and see if you can get your'e dogs to act scared . also note that if someone was there pulling strings the dogs would have immediately ran to the nearest human for protection none were present
Cdr123 June 5, 2009 9:00:32 PM CEST
yeah fake when kitchen roll spun across to the sofa at 2.40 it was repositioned into the corner of the sofa.tricky camera work but still a crap fake!
Celestialmind April 22, 2009 12:05:02 PM CEST
Could you post the youtube link to the original footage. The fact that something 'could be hoaxed' doesn't at al mean that it must be a hoax. If that were the case, we might as well rule out UFO footage and pics as all being hoaxes because most just aren't that spectacular. I'm on the fence but I'll say they did a good job at creating video which was a bit freaky. If hoaxed , good job but shame on you. If real, give us more details or something.D

Turnovers And Fouls Costly In Women's Basketball Loss
COMPLETE BOXSCORE: Sacramento State
GREELEY, Colo. - With an injury-shortened bench and two players fouling out, the Northern Colorado women's basketball team dropped a 71-53 decision at home to Sacramento State on Thursday evening. The Bears (9-11, 3-4 Big Sky) were without junior guard Whitley Cox, who was injured last week against Montana and freshman Courtney Kranz was able to go only sparingly with a shoulder injury and the Hornets (5-16, 3-5 Big Sky) took advantage.
The Bears held a three-point advantage, 26-23, at halftime but the Hornets outscored them 48-27 in the second stanza behind 19 points from Charday Hunt to give SAC the win.
Sophomore guard Courtney Stoermer led the team with 15 points, while freshman guard Cassie Lambrecht tied her career-high with 13 points on her birthday, sophomore forward Kate Kevorken added 10 and sophomore center Lara Merritt tied her career-high with eight points and led the club with five rebounds. Stoermer also had a game-high four assists.
Besides the 19 points from Hunt in the second half, Sacramento State also got a double-double from Atty Boyer with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots, while Emily Christensen came off the bench to scored 17 points, tally three assists and six steals.
"Everything for us begins with defense," said Head Coach Jaime White. "And we did not play very good defense tonight."
The Bears also committed a season-high 23 turnovers and had 19 fouls with both Merritt and freshman forward Kaisha Brown fouling out.
Northern Colorado hosts Northern Arizona on Saturday in a game scheduled for 2:05 p.m.

(CNN) -- — It may have been the most anticipated traffic court date ever.
Southern California resident Cecilia Abadie appeared in San Diego traffic court on Thursday for speeding and for wearing Google Glass while driving. It is considered the first time someone has been cited for wearing the face-mounted technology while driving.
Commissioner John Blair threw out both charges, stating there wasn't enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Google Glass was turned on at the time. It is only illegal to wear the device while driving if it is operational.
Abadie was pulled over in October for speeding by the California Highway Patrol. The officer then cited her for wearing Google Glass under California vehicle code 27602, which prohibits operating a video-display in front of the driver's head rest where it can distract the driver. The law was originally drafted to keep people from watching TV while driving.
Google Glass is Google's early version of a head-mounted computer display. A small square monitor sits above the right eye, just out of the normal line of vision. To view information on the display like a map or text message, the wearer must look up.
Google Glass defenders claim Glass is safer to use while driving than a smartphone since it can be voice controlled and you only have to glance up and to the right to view the Glass display. Many rallied to Abadie's defense, even starting a #freececilia hashtag on Twitter.
Google did not respond to a request to comment on the case, but in its Google Glass FAQ, it warns: "Most states have passed laws limiting the use of mobile devices while driving any motor vehicle, and most states post those rules on their department of motor vehicles websites. Read up and follow the law!"
"Anything that distracts you from driving is something that were concerned about," said CHP Public Affairs Pfficer Jake Sanchez.
While the ruling was a big win for Abadie, a product manager who wears her Glass 12 hours a day (she rested them around her neck while in the courtroom), it is not a green light for Google Glass wearers to freely wear and use their devices while driving.
"It doesn't necessarily answer the question everybody wanted: Is it legal to drive down the road wearing Google Glass while it's operating?" said William Concidine of My Traffic Guys. Concidine and his partner, Gabriel Moore, are the traffic ticket attorneys who defended Abadie in court on Thursday.
Google Glass wearers in California can still be pulled over and cited for wearing the head-mounted displays while driving. Whether they get a warning or a ticket will be up to the individual officer. Getting a charges dismissed will then be up to individual traffic court judges.
"There is no law that that specifically says Google Glass is illegal. Each officer has to take each case on a case-by-case basis," said Sanchez.
A dismissal in court is not uncommon for traffic violations, and this ruling will not change how CHP officers view distracted driving.
"I do think it leaves it up in the air for Google Glass wearers," said Concidine. "They have to wear it with the possibility that they may get a ticket that they'll have to fight until a legislator takes some sort of action."
Three states have already drafted laws that specifically ban Google Glass while driving: Delaware, West Virginia and New Jersey.

A Sevier County, Arkansas man has been arrested following a two-year drug investigation.
Sevier County deputies arrested 22-year-old Emilio Gutierrez Wednesday after they ran a search warrant on his home in the 200 block of Westline Road.
Deputies and a drug task force searched his home again on Thursday and recovered a drug known as "ice" worth nearly $150,000 and several weapons. " I am pretty sure it was being imported in. It is something we commonly [see] coming in from Mexico. We have not run into an ice lab here in Arkansas. It is not the traditional old school meth," says Sevier County detective Robert Gentry.
Gentry says Gutierrez is believed to be one of the major illegal drug dealers in Sevier County.
The investigation is continuing into this operation.

Gender and Immortality: Heroines in Ancient Greek Myth and Cult
|eBooks - Social Science
|September 09 2007
In recent years, the topic of ancient Greek hero cult has been the focus of considerable discussion among classicists. Little attention, however, has been paid to female heroized figures. Here Deborah Lyons argues for the heroine as a distinct category in ancient Greek religious ideology and daily practice. The heroine, she believes, must be located within a network of relations between male and female, mortal and immortal. Using evidence ranging from Homeric epic to Attic vase painting to ancient travel writing, she attempts to re-integrate the feminine into our picture of Greek notions of the hero.
According to Lyons, heroines differ from male heroes in several crucial ways, among which is the ability to cross the boundaries between mortal and immortal. She further shows that attention to heroines clarifies fundamental Greek ideas of mortal/immortal relationships.
The book first discusses heroines both in relation to heroes and as a separate religious and mythic phenomenon. It examines the cultural meanings of heroines in ritual and representation, their use as examples for mortals, and their typical "biographies." The model of "ritual antagonism," in which two mythic figures represented as hostile share a cult, is ultimately modified through an exploration of the mythic correspondences between the god Dionysos and the heroines surrounding him, and through a rethinking of the relationship between Iphigeneia and Artemis. An appendix, which identifies more than five hundred heroines, rounds out this lively work.

Bok camp a success - Meyer
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer declared his first training camp of 2013 a success despite several players' inactivity at the camp due to injuries.
A training squad convened in Cape Town on Sunday, a day after the country's top players took on each other in two physical Super Rugby derbies.
The training camp ends on Tuesday.
"It was great to see the players again and the enthusiasm they have for playing for their country," said Meyer.
"Even though this was only a first opportunity to get together this year and start our work ahead of the international season, with no selection guarantees, the players' excitement was palpable. We've already done much more work than at this time last year.
"We've looked and analysed a lot of rugby matches during the last few months and have identified a number of areas where we aim to improve this year.
"I don't agree with the assertion that our Tests in June will be easy. Italy and Scotland finished higher in the Six Nations than Ireland and France and will arrive here very confident.
"Samoa gave the Springboks a real scare at the last Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and have improved a lot over the last number of years."
Meyer said the high number of injuries was a concern, with a number of players taking little or no part in the training sessions.
"These and other injuries are obviously concerning, but all the players underwent medical examinations and should be fit by the time we start the Incoming Series in June," he added.
"It was encouraging to see the progress players with long term injuries made. It shows they are in good hands at their franchises.
"We would like to thank the franchises for the opportunity to work with the players on this camp, despite them being in the middle of a very tough competition."
The next training camp is planned for Durban at the end of next month and the Springbok squad for the Incoming Series, involving Italy, Scotland and Samoa, will be named early in June.

KFFL answers important fantasy baseball questions about each Major League Baseball team as spring training approaches. What must fantasy baseball players know about the Minnesota Twins?
What are Justin Morneau's prospects of returning to All-Star form?
Two years ago, they seemed close to nil. Entering 2013, they're probably better than most people realize. With at least a year and a half gone by without concussion symptoms, and what essentially qualifies as a full season (2012) in that stretch, things are looking up.
Morneau batted .267 with 19 home runs and 77 RBIs in 570 plate appearances - despite a rusty couple of months in the first half of the campaign. He looked like his line-drive-stroking self often enough, especially after the break, when shades of his above-average control of the strike zone became darker.
Morneau, 32 in May, also claims that he feels the best he has since sustaining that railroading head injury in 2010. He's been spending the offseason gaining weight back, not rehabbing. That creates promise for a rebound in fly-ball rate, to levels of 40-plus percent. He's a free agent after this season, and the Twins will undoubtedly dangle him as the trade deadline approaches, if not earlier.
Rotisserie owners will be taking some small leap of faith with an investment in Morneau, but will others compete so hard for him? It's too tempting to dive in when it's more like a hop and the potentially thrilling payoff is still that of a cliff jump.
How will Glen Perkins handle the closing gig?

The production lost two days to sandstorms. The crew faced a last-minute scramble when the nervous owner of a mall changed his mind about allowing filming there. Some days locals chased the cameras away; other days they brought platters of lamb and rice to the set, and asked to be extras.
Meanwhile, the director hid in a van, speaking to her cast via walkie-talkie.
In Saudi Arabia, where driving a car is a subversive act for a woman, a 39-year-old mother of two has done something remarkable: written and directed what her distributor believes is the first feature film shot entirely in the ultraconservative kingdom.
PHOTOS: Scenes from Haifaa Mansour's 'Wadjda'
Haifaa Mansour is the director of "Wadjda," a drama about a plucky 10-year-old girl who enrolls in a Koran recitation competition in order to win money for a bicycle she's forbidden by law to ride.
Like her young protagonist, Mansour's own story is one of feminine moxie.
In a sly protest of the country's ban on women behind the wheel, she drove herself to her wedding in a golf cart. Because women in Saudi Arabia can't mingle publicly with men outside their families, she shot her movie covertly on the streets of the capital, Riyadh. With movie theaters banned, she screened "Wadjda" in two foreign embassies and a cultural center.
Petite, self-assured, wearing white high-tops and blue nail polish, Mansour is modern in both her fashion and bearing. She speaks English quickly and colloquially, dropping frequent "you knows" into conversation. And she isn't afraid to counter misperceptions about her homeland, as when she gently corrected Bill Maher for calling Mecca the Saudi capital during a recent appearance on his HBO show.
Laced with empathy and humor, "Wadjda" is a quietly provocative portrait of a culture that straddles the centuries, where men wear the ancient white thobe but carry the latest iPads and women hold important jobs as doctors and news anchors but have yet to vote in an election.
"I didn't want to make a movie about women being raped or stoned," Mansour said in an interview in Beverly Hills in June. "For me it is the everyday life, how it's hard. For me, it was hard sometimes to go to work because I cannot find transportation. Things like that build up and break a woman."

The eighth of 12 children of a poet, Mansour grew up in a small town in a home that she describes as nurturing for a little girl.
"My family is very traditional, but my parents are very supportive, very kind," she said. "I never felt I can't do things because I'm a woman."
When Mansour was a teen, her mother removed the light veil she wore while picking her daughter up from school, a gesture that mortified the young woman at the time, but empowers her when she reflects on it now.
Though movie theaters have been shuttered in Saudi Arabia for decades for religious reasons, Mansour said her father, like others, often rented VHS tapes at Blockbuster for the family to watch — she grew up on Jackie Chan movies, Bollywood productions, Egyptian cinema and Disney animated films. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was a particular favorite.
"In small-town Saudi, there is nothing to do. You don't get to exercise your emotions because nothing much is happening, you know?" she said. "So to see people falling in love and fighting, it's so powerful, you see beyond your small town."
After earning her bachelor's degree in comparative literature at the American University in Cairo, she returned to Saudi Arabia but quickly felt stymied.

"Going back to Saudi as a young woman, trying to assert yourself in the workplace, you have all those ideas … and all of a sudden you realize because you are a woman you are not heard," she said. "It was such a frustrating moment in my life. It was as if you are screaming in a vacuum."
The idea of women holding jobs still unnerves some Saudi men — writer Abdullah Mohammed Daoud recently encouraged his more than 97,000 Twitter followers to sexually harass female grocery store clerks to intimidate women from working.

Sleepboot de "Zwarte Zee" (tugboat the "Black Sea") inbound. The "Zwarte Zee" (1933) was one of the most famous Dutch tugboats ever built. Being rescued from German occupation during the Second World War, it featured in numerous British and American naval operations. The American Navy even based its standard medium tug model "V4-M-A1" on the "Zwarte Zee".

While most tuners are focusing on the new Ferrari 458 Italia , Premier 4509 is looking to bring inspiration towards an older model. The Japanese tuner has previously unveiled a Veilside tuning kit for the old F430 and now Wheels Boutique has upgraded that very same model with, wait for it, a new set of wheels. The full package will still be limited to just 300 units.
For the exterior, the Veilside package includes a new front bumper, side skirts, a new rear bumper, and a rear wing. Now, the car has been made even better with a new set of wheels from Wheels Boutique. They come in 20" for the front and 21" for the rear, and are painted in gloss black with a chrome lip. Finishing off the new wheels will be Pirelli PZero tires.
The only thing missing from this news is actually the piece of information we are most interested in. The tuners have stated that the F430 has received a GruppeM airbox and a new Novitec exhaust system, but the results of those additions have yet to surface.

More Like the Canadian Tour if you ask me. Does Ozzy feel that Americans are sick of anything "Osbourne" because of his wife's and daughter's shameless "reality" media pandering? Maybe yes, as Ozzy can be far more aware than his goofy persona would indicate. AND, let it be said that there is more to the US than New York City and Los Angeles!

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > Magical triplet
Chapter twenty two2 Reviews
It does not go well with Harry Potter. In order to increase Harry's magical power, Dumbledore infects Harry and two girls with a disease. And his power surges.
Then there were three of them
Ron laid on his bunk in his dorm. He heard the party going on in the common room of Gryffindor, and he wanted to join them very much. But he did not like the association with Potter and Hermione. When he saw Hermione on the dance floor, his heart was melting. He knew that he still was madly in love with her. He knew that Harry had done something to bind Hermione to him, maybe a very strong love portion. Ron knew also that Harry had invented the curse to give him the excuse to steal Hermione from him. He must win Hermione back and kill that bastard Potter. Even when it was the last thing he would do!
He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but it was impossible with all that noise from the party. He decided to look at what was going on. He stood up and went to their common room. Dean and Seamus were dancing on the tables with Lavender and Padma and having a lot of fun. Dean had a bottle of fire whiskey in his hand and was trying to fill a glass, not succeeding much. In the corner near the door he saw several first years sitting together and giggling. In the other corner, he saw some third years with Katie Bell and Justin Dorenbourgh, both 7th years Ravenclaw, holding hands. In the back of the room he saw the rest of the Gryffindors sitting, laying and some were dancing. Ron walked towards the Gryffindors, until he noticed Ginny. Ginny was kissing Colin, a very sensual and slow kiss, while dancing very close together. Ron changed direction and went straight to the dancing couple. He felt furious! How could Ginny fall so low as to kiss that ahole Colin? He could kill Colin! He reached Ginny and grabbed her arm, holding it tight and dragged her from Colin in the direction of the Gryffindors.
"What are you doing, Ron? "Ginny screamed. Are you totally nuts? "
"you will not dance like that, what do you think? I don't want to see that my sister kisses like that, and in public"
"Ron, I am not little anymore, I'm 16 years old and that is enough for you. let loose of me, let me go! COLIN IS MY BOYFRIEND!"
Ginny was so angry, her eyes were flashing like fire. She grabbed her wand and pointed it to Ron. "IF YOU DON'T RELEASE ME, BY MERLIN I WILL HEX YOU STRAIGHT BACK INTO THAT HOSPITAL"
Ron was impressed, so he released Ginny, who was holding her arm where Ron grabbed her. "If I have bruises because of you, by Merlin I will go to McGonagall and report you. What DO YOU THINK you ARE doing? Colin is my friend and you think that you can go in like this? You are still sick, Ron. Go back too the hospital and stay there, Get out of my life! "
Ron stood thunderstruck in the middle of the common room. In the mean time, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the drama. Colin walked to Ginny and drew her into his arm protectively. "Ron, you are not yourself, why don't you go to rest in your bed or even take a walk. "Colin sounded very reasonable, but for Ron this was killing. Slowly Ron grabbed his wand from his robes and pointed it to Colin. "If you touch my sister like that once more, I am going to hex you into convulsions. "
Something very strange was happening in front of Ron's eyes. A strange glittering transparent green screen appeared around Colin and Ginny.
"Capto Ginny" Ron screamed and he expected that Ginny would fly into his arms. A silver beam appeared from his wand towards Ginny. But the beam bounced from the screen back to Ron, who flew backward to the ground. Ron's eyes were wide in fear and confusion.
Parvati stepped in front of Ron. "Do you really think that we did not learn anything this year, Ron? We did. I warn you here in front of everyone. If you ever lift a finger to Ginny, Colin or anyone else in Gryffindor, we will all hex you into convulsions. Now go away, out of our dorm and come back tomorrow when the party is done and over with. We cannot use you here; you are too dangerous and too crazy. "
Ron stood up, and all wands pointing to him followed. Ron walked to his room, but was blocked by Dean, Seamus, and Neville. Ron said nothing, turned, and exited the dorm. This would be a long night for him.
Ginny was crying bitter tears and Colin did what he could to comfort Ginny. "Maybe it is a good idea to send an owl to McGonagall to say what happened. And maybe it is even better to owl your mother, Ginny? "
"No! When I send an owl to my mother, she will worry again so much, and McGonagall is a problem, because we sent him outside, which is not allowed at this hour. Remember, we have curfew! "
"I forgot, and Harry said that he would monitor the castle. That means that they will have a confrontation! "
Harry saw immediately on the Marauder's map that Ron left the Gryffindor dorm. Ron was moving towards the great hall.
"Hermione, look at this. It is Ron, and he is leaving the dorm. "
Hermione approached the map, but said nothing.
Ron left the castle via the great hall. Harry and Hermione decided to follow him and see what he was up to.
When Harry and Hermione were outside, they did not see anything of Ron. They looked everywhere, but still no Ron. Harry packed his map into his ropes. "I have no use for the map anymore, because the map does not reach outside the castle. Where is he? "
Hermione frowned. "I think he is in the forbidden forest! "
Harry and Hermione went to the forest. They still could not see anything, because the forbidden forest was very quiet except the noise of the night animals, but still no Ron. "No sense in browsing through the forest, because it is too big and we would loose him anyhow. Let's go to the cabin of Hagrid and see what is there. "
They moved over to the cabin of Hagrid. Harry knocked on his door, but nobody answered. The cabin was threateningly quiet, something cold and heavy in the air. Noises started to quiet down. "Harry, I don't like this. Something is coming here or something is happening. "
Harry pointed his hand to the door and softly said "effringo effrego". The door of the cabin opened. Hermione pushed the door slowly open, her arms at ready. The cabin was dark inside. Harry entered the cabin very warily. "Be careful, Harry. "
Harry walked slowly inside the cabin, mumbling "LUMOS". The cabin's darkness was replaced by a bright shining light from Harry's hand. The first thing they saw was Hagrid lying on the ground. Harry checked on Hagrid, while his eyes were scanning the rest of the cabin. Harry did not feel any pulse on Hagrid! "Hermione, something is very wrong here. It looks like Hagrid is dead!
"Let me"
Hermione checked on Hagrid as well. He was indeed dead. "Oh my ..."
"Epistula amitto" Harry mumbled. "I sent a message to Madame Pomfrey and professor Dumbledore. Let's hope they come fast.
"Harry, send also the same message to professors Snape and McGonagall!"
"I will do, and after several seconds ... "Epistula amitto"
"Now we will wait and see. Let us secure the area. Do you think that Ron has something to do with this? "
Harry had no idea, but Ron had changed so much for the bad, he had no idea what happened. "I don't know, Hermione. I would not be surprised if he would be involved, but on the other side, Ron would never do this. I am so confused. "
Harry and Hermione were in a shock. Harry's eyes felt like they were burning, tears streaming on his cheeks.
In the meantime, they were scanning the surroundings of the cabin, but found nothing.
Hermione stood utterly still, her hands stretched open and wide. "Indo vestigium"
Everywhere around the cabin, yellow, red, green, blue, and brown lines appeared which were pointing to the forbidden forest and to the castle. "What is this, Hermione? "
"This is a tracing and tracking spell, which displays traces of creatures from the direct past within the range of the spell. The yellow traces are the most recent, and then green, red, blue and brown with brown the longest in the past. The time range of the spell is one hour in the past. "
"There are an awful lot of lines here. That means that there were a lot of people visiting the cabin the last hour. Is there any way to determine individual lines? "
"No Harry, it does not. "
"You see the traces, who are going to the forest? There are two brown traces and three blue ones. It might be two are coming to the cabin, and three left to the forest. There are a lot of green and red traces connected with the castle. Well, it does not learn us much more. "
Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Lupin, Snape, and Madame Pomfrey appeared at the cabin. "What happened?"
"Hagrid is dead. We do not know what and why. "
"What are those lines? ", professor Lupin asked.
"Those are the lines of the "indo vestigium" spell, which displays traces of creatures from one hour in the past.
Madame Pomfrey kneeled down at Hagrid and checked on him. "Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid is indeed dead. "
Professor Dumbledore looked shocked and hurt. "How did he die? ..."
"It was the death curse. There is nothing we can do for him. "
Madame Pomfrey levitated Hagrid into the air to the castle. The rest stayed at the cabin.
"Where is Ron, Harry and Hermione? "
There was an uncomfortable silence for a few moments. "He left the dorm and went outside. We could not find him outside and have no idea where he is "answered Harry his question.
Professor Snape was busy searching Hagrid's cabin.
"Albus look what I have found in his cabin! "
All eyes looked at professor Snape. Snape held up a wand.
Harry took the wand from professor Snape and nodded to Hermione. "Yes, this wand is from Ronald Weasley. "
Professor Dumbledore took the wand from Harry and studied it. He held Ron's wand in his left hand and with his own wand in his right wand, he cast a spell towards Ron's wand. A green light appeared out of the wand. "That is the Avada Kedavra curse! The last spell used with this wand was the Avada Kedavra. "
Now everyone was quiet and looked at each other. All of them were very shocked, how could Ron have murdered Hagrid? What happened to Ron and why did he become a killer like that?
"But why should he throw away his wand, when he would kill Hagrid? That sounds so impossible! "
Let's go to the castle and we will see what is going to happen next. We need to inform the ministry and the aurors. Harry and Hermione, can you inform Ginny, and then I will inform his parents. "
"We will inform Ginny immediately, professor. "
They all hurried to the castle.
Harry and Hermione went to the Gryffindor tower, entered the common room and saw Ginny and Colin dancing on two tables. Ginny was making very suggesting movements and Colin was totally drunk, trying to imitate Madonna with his fingers.
Hermione smiled sadly, and went to Ginny. She grabbed Ginny's hand and pulled her softly from the table towards her. "Ginny, we need to talk to you about Ron, something happened. "
Ginny looked afraid and shocked to Hermione, then to Harry. "What happened? Did he do something stupid again? "
"We are not sure, but come with us to our dorm, there we can talk in peace. "
The three of them went to Harry and Hermione's dorm and sat down. Harry and Hermione's faces were releasing tears and looked very upset. "We saw Ron come out of the Gryffindor tower, he went outside. From there we started to follow him, but we lost track of him. We went to Hagrid's cabin and found Hagrid dead. We do not know if Ron did this, but the professors found the wand of Ron in the cabin. The last spell the wand had used is the Avada Kedavra curse. Professor Dumbledore is informing your parents and the aurors are being informed as well. That is the full story from our point of view. "
"Hagrid is dead? " Tears were streaming from Ginny's cheeks. "And do you think that Ron killed him? "
Harry looked down to the coffee table. "I have no idea, and I don't know what too think. When I saw Ron's wand left behind, but no Ron, and that wand is used to kill Hagrid, I would say that somebody is framing Ron. If Ron really would murder Hagrid, he would never leave his wand behind. And not only that, why should he murder Hagrid? ... Moreover, Hagrid saved me from those dreadful Dursley's; he was the first wizard I saw. He was so special to me. Always listened to me; he loved me, for Merlin's sake. "
And Harry was crying, tears streaming uncontrolled. Ginny broke down at that moment as well, crying and rolling her self up in a foetus position, her knees under her chin, her wide open eyes were not seeing anything, making soft noises.
Hermione did her best to comfort Harry and Ginny. Harry's eyes became alert and with resolve; a halo of power started to radiate from him. "Ginny, you cannot go back to your dorm, you will sleep here. Do you need to have a sleeping portion? "
No reaction from Ginny, she continued to look into that shocked state. Hermione took a blanket from the sleeping room and wrapped it around Ginny. She levitated Ginny into the spare bedroom and put her to bed.
Hermione came back to Harry after an hour and hugged him, but said nothing. Both of them went to bed. While lying in bed, they were holding each other very tightly and fell asleep.
Harry felt something warm sliding against his back, but it stopped right there. "That's Hermione," he thought.
He fell asleep again.
He felt a warm hand stroking his belly, slowly and sensual. "I am dreaming ..." the hand was touching him ... slowly and smoothly and he felt his heat going up. The hand made circles, sharp nails made little scratches, very exciting ... and it went inside his underpants! The hand grabbed his member, which was stirring alive ... stiffening fast. The hand started slowly to jerk him off.
Harry was murmuring "Hmm ... Hermione ... What are you doing? ... "
He opened slowly his eyes, and saw the outline of Hermione, who was lying close before him. Suddenly he was aware of a second body pressed against his back. He could feel soft breasts pressing against him, and felt her hips covering his bum. Very clearly, it was her hand, which was bringing up the heat. Oh Merlin, that was Ginny!
That moment the eyes from Hermione snapped wide open and looked at him. Harry and Hermione were staring at each other for several seconds. He was very surprised and did not know what to do at that moment. He did not want to frighten Ginny, but he also did not want to continue like this, before everything went out of control.
Hermione very slowly took the hand of Ginny and lifted it from under the underpants. Hermione came closer to Harry and pressed her self against him. Now Harry could not move anymore, because Ginny lay against his back and Hermione against his front. Hermione started to take off her nightdress and her slip and moved closer to Harry. "Two amazing looking girls were lying against me from both sides! " Now Harry was very and completely awake. He also noticed that it was fully light, and noticed long, red hair falling over his side.
He felt the hand of Hermione softly stroking his sides and upper legs, while Ginny's hands were stroking his upper arms and torso. Her hand moved from his upper arm to the back of Hermione, where her hand came to rest. He felt that Ginny lifted her head up to look at Hermione, and he saw Hermione smiling sweetly too her, nodding. Ginny's head came back to the pillow and continued moving her hand softly over the back of Hermione. Hermione's hand moved ... from the hip of Harry ... to the hip of Ginny and was caressing her.
Suddenly he felt Ginny moving away from him. She started to pull off his underpants. Harry tensed and started to protest, but Hermione's fingers were pressed against his lips. He could say nothing. Ginny and Hermione were busy pulling his underpants down, and it disappeared somewhere outside the bed. Now he was very naked, but so were Hermione and Ginny! The girls moved Harry from his side to his back, and both hands were stroking his inner-sides and upper legs. Now his heat was rising very rapidly. Ginny was using her nails and Hermione her full hand. In the mean time, Hermione was licking his ear very slowly and sensually, Ginny sucking his earlobes. Harry's was overheating, he felt like his senses were exploding ... he slowly relaxed, everything wet now.
"Harry, you wet my hand," Hermione whispered.
"My hand as well" Ginny whispered in his ear.
Hermione moved her head down and started to dry him ... Ginny helped her.
Harry got again an erection, bigger than ever. "Guys, stop! Please stop. This does not go all right, I think that we need to have some rules here and I am not sure if it is a good idea to have two beautiful women in one bed with me. "
Both girls were giggling, but they stopped. "Let's all have a nice and cold shower", Ginny said. "That is an excellent idea" Harry exclaimed and jumped from bed straight into the bathroom. He switched on the water as cold as possible and put his head under the streaming water. Very soon, he felt the ice-cold water streaming over his skin, thinking back what happened this morning in their bed. He had a very uneasy feeling about this. The door of the bathroom opened and both girls came in and joined him in the shower. Hermione moved to him and whispered, "Let us Harry. I think we both need it. Can you be so sweet to let us use you, Harry? Do not ask questions; only enjoy your self with us. "
Hermione had a beautiful body; she was slim with soft swellings at the right places. Her breasts were straight and beautiful, not large, her nipples small and light brown. Her hips were formed in beautiful curves and promised to be tight, with public hair in a small triangle. Her butt was a piece of art, so smooth and tight and a very good feeling when he touched it.
Ginny's breasts had a bigger base, were heavier and her nipples were large and pinkish. Her hips were wide, curving the perfect V-form of her red public hair, but larger then Hermione's. Both of them had amazing legs, long and very sensually formed. Ginny's butt was truly a piece of art, it was tight and very well formed, and he never touched it. Her skin was oh so smooth.
Harry was studying them while they were all under the cold shower. He changed the taps from cold to warm and all three of them came closer to each other. "Let's have a breakfast in our dorm and talk over the breakfast. " Both girls smiled mysteriously, but agreed. Nobody moved though. "What are you two waiting for ... ", asked Harry with his eyebrows up.
"Kiss us first, then we go" Ginny asked.
Harry hesitated, and then kissed Hermione deeply. He felt the hand of Ginny on his butt and started to stroke him. He got the next erection and quickly ended the kiss with Hermione. He looked uneasy to Hermione. "Harry, go on. Kiss Ginny! "
Harry kissed Ginny on her lips. He did not want to do the same as with Hermione. However, Ginny grabbed him, opened her lips, and kissed him full. This kiss was a long and deep kiss.
They left the shower and went back to the bedroom. They helped to dress each other, and Harry escaped to the common room with only his underpants on. He had his clothes in his hands.
He used the message spell to send a message to Dobby to ask for breakfast for three people and continued to dress. Now that the two girls came into the common room of the dorm, breakfast appeared on the table. "Wow, that is service" Ginny exclaimed happy.
"Ginny, what happened last night and how did you come into our bed? "
"Even that I felt safe in the bedroom here, I was so sad and depressed. I needed someone. Hermione explained to me yesterday evening when she brought me to bed, what you two have together and with each other. If I would have that as well, it would help me to restore my self. There are so many things happened the last months, such terrible things, I feel so sick of everything. Having so many big brothers is a pain. And especially it was bad when I heard that jerk of my brother Ron making himself and me a fool in front of everyone. It was terrible. And maybe that jerk killed Hagrid, and Hagrid is dead. He was my friend too "
"But Ginny, why didn't you come to our room and talk to us? ", Harry asked.
"I did, didn't I? It was cold, and the two of you looked so much more inviting. I still have the crush on you, Harry, that has never changed and I cannot help it. You both are so beautiful and I think I wanted to share what I have with the two of you.
I talked with Hermione, and she does not mind. She also does not mind if I stay tonight ... "
Harry was quiet for a long time.
"What do you say, Hermione? I do not know about Ginny, but we are still virgins. "
Ginny colored slightly. "I am a virgin as well. But there are other forms of sex, which are as exciting as having the sex conventionally, someone told me. "
"I thought that Colin Creevey is your boyfriend? "
"No, he is not my boyfriend. I have nobody now, and Colin is only an ex-boyfriend. Nevertheless, I felt so lonely for weeks already, and he is sweet to me. He knows it does not work between the two of us, so sometimes we kiss or simply relax. However, I do not love him, and obviously, he does not love me. "
Hermione was looking at the both of them. "Let's experiment with all three of us. Maybe it is a good idea that we all go to the castle in the weekend and see to where this may lead us. What do you two say? "
Ginny looked happy. "That is a deal. "
"But I love Hermione with everything that I have. How can I make love with you Ginny, when my heart is with Hermione? "
Hermione looked to Harry with a sweet smile on her face. "Harry, we want to stay virgins, and that means that you don't make love with any of us. "
Harry looked at Hermione, then Ginny. "In my perception, I make love with you even when I touch you, Hermione. It comes from the heart. What we can have with the three of us is lust ... it will change everything. "
"Harry, can you do something for me? ", Hermione asked him.
"Everything, Hermione ... I will do everything for you. "
"Let's stay all three of us together for the time being. We sleep together, we see each other naked, we touch each other, we kiss each other, we have lust together, we will eat together, make homework together, and maybe we might even get to love each other. I know that you are attracted to Ginny; you cannot hide that from me, Harry. She is sweet and sexy and she loves you! So please, can we simply enjoy each other? "
"This is the weirdest conversation I have ever had. ", Harry exclaimed. He looked to the girls. He bent slowly over to Ginny, kissed her slowly and tenderly on her lips; his hand reached Hermione's face and keeping it there, caresses her cheek softly. He ended his kiss and bent over to Hermione, kissed her softly, tenderly, while caressing Ginny's cheek.
"I will do what you ask me to do with love and pleasure. I am yours and you both are mine. "

Amarillo, Texas - More than 800 people gathered to remember area fallen soldiers.
American soldiers were described as every day people. Your brother or sister, your high school friend, your neighbor. But today is a day to ensure these heroes will not be forgotten.
Men and women from all branches of the military were remembered as stories of notable panhandle soldiers who died in action were shared. More than 800 people gathered at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial.
"All the individuals who have served or are severing in the united states armed forced to please rise for a moment," Andrew Welch, Thomas E. Creek VA Hospital director says.
Many in attendance were veterans themselves.
Although today is a day of remembrance, one family honors their most recent lost. Army Specialist Genaro Bedoy was killed in action in Afghanistan in September. He is the last fallen soldier from the panhandle. This memorial day, his family remembers him.
"Mi corazon es igual que el principio," Veronica Bedoy, fallen soldier's mother says.
Bedoy's mother says her heart is still broken.
"It just feels the same. It's our same pain every day. We love that the community has that support and gives him that honor. That means a lot," Paty Bedoy, fallen soldier's wife says.
Over the weekend Governor Perry signed a house concurrent resolution in memory of U.S.. Private First Class Genaro Bedoy of Amarillo. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Bedoy family.

At the 54th annual Meet of Champions held Saturday at Lake Hamilton High School, Bryant sophomore Alexis Royal won the triple-jump title.
With wind speeds up to 25 mph buffeting the competitors, Royal jumped 36 feet, 11 inches on her second attempt to secure her victory.
Royal's margin of victory was a full 10 inches farther than the other competitors. Jasmine Marks of Camden Fairview was second with a jump of 36'1.
SHERWOOD — The game of softball is all about momentum, and in Monday's semifinal game between Benton and Mountain Home momentum was being tossed between the two teams like a hot potato.
"We got the most out of our momentum," coach Eric Ryan said. "We would get it and they would get it. We would go back and forth."
The Benton Lady Panthers scored five runs in the seventh inning to defeat Mountain Home 7-5 to advance to their third straight 6A State Final in Fayetteville.
By beating Little Rock Catholic 7-6 Monday in the 7A State Tournament semifinals in Fort Smith, Bryant advances to the championship game, which it is looking to win for the second straight year.
The Hornets will take on championship-round host Conway at 5:30 p.m Saturday.
Head coach Kirk Bock, whose team is 23-6 on the year (10-4 7A Central), said Saturday's game against the Wampus Cats "is going to be a chore."
"We're kind of tired of playing people in our conference," Bock said, laughing.
After the Lady Beavers' season came to an end Friday, Glen Rose head coach Kyle Lem said it will be difficult to replace the team's five senior starters.
Particularly his two starting pitchers, seniors Madison Jacobs and Tiffany Houpt.
Seniors Stephanie Farber (center field), Hollie Boles (shortstop) and Katie Peterson (left field) also will be graduating — and leaving big shoes to fill.
Still, Lem said his squad has a strong foundation to build on for the program's future.Â
Both defending state champions advanced to the 7A State Tournament semifinals Saturday, with the Hornets beating Cabot 7-5 and the Lady Hornets beating Springdale Har-Ber 10-0.
Hornets head coach Kirk Bock said the wind at the tournament in Fort Smith was a major factor in the game.
"They did a great job of scattering some hits around," he said. "It was unbelievable how hard that wind was blowing. Defensively, any popup was an adventure."
SHERWOOD — Before Saturday's game against Russellville, Benton head coach Eric Ryan was unsure who he would start in the circle. With three quality pitchers to choose from, anyone could have started, but Ryan decided to go with the proven-senior leader Jessica Smith.
"She has had a little bit more pop on her fast ball and good movement," Ryan said.
It paid off as Smith pitched a complete game, allowing just one run (earned) on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk as the Lady Panthers defeated Russellville 7-1 at Sherwood in the second round of the 6A State Tournament.
The Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning to defeat Perryville 4-2 in the first round of the 3A State Tournament at Prescott High School Friday afternoon.
In the seventh, Morgan Ramsey reached on a one-out walk and with two outs senior Kaylee Allen hit a line drive up the middle to move Ramsey to third. Macy Coffee walked to load the bases and two runs would score on a hit by Stephanie Parins.
Molly White gave Harmony Grove a two-run lead when she single home Coffee.
When the Hornets and Lady Hornets step onto the diamond today, both teams will be battling for a second straight state championship — a feat scarcely seen.
And if you ask either coach about the other's team, you're bound to hear similar words of respect and admiration.
Baseball head coach Kirk Bock said, "We're pretty good, but they're really good," adding that softball head coach Debbie Clark "does a tremendous job with those girls."
For Bryant head coach Kirk Bock, the Hornets have lived up to the title of defending state champions.
"They've done everything were asked them to and more," he said. "They've battled hard all year."
And after winning the 7A Central again, this weekend Bryant (21-6, 10-4) heads into the 7A State Tournament in Fort Smith as a No. 1 seed, looking to repeat last year's championship run.
With a first-round bye, at noon Saturday the Hornets will face the winner of Friday's game between Springdale Har-Ber and Cabot.
It has been a dream for Brad Matthews to coach at one of the highest levels in high school basketball. Wednesday night, that dream came true as Matthews was hired as the new head coach for the Bryant Lady Hornets.
"I'm excited," Matthews said. "It is a tough conference, and it is going to be a great challenge. It is something I'm looking forward to doing.
"Bryant has a great girls basketball program."

Aspire ET-S BDC - Glassomizer - Stainless
The ET-S BDC Pyrex "Glassomizer" (which means glass based clearomizer) comes with an aspire coils which is a bottom coil clearomizer featuring dual heating coils to provide twice the vapor while also taking advantage of a bottom feed design so that the coils are always being fed just enough juice. NO exposed wicks, the liquid goes into the two holes on the side of the coil. The ET-S BDC Glassomizer has a capacity of approximately 2.0 ml of e-liquid and it comes pre-loaded with a 1.8ohm dual coil head.
The Bottom Dual Coil (BDC) design is a major upgrade when compared to similar single coil tanks not only because of the dual coils, but also because of the uniquely designed replaceable coil and airflow system. It was designed differently to eliminate common issues such as an airy draw, gurgling, and leaking that users often experience with other clearomizers. It also works to eliminate outside influences on flavor to provide a true and pure taste experience.
This item is ego threaded so will work only on ego devices, it also fit on almost every mod I have tried it on. The capacity is 3.0ml but I see about 2.5 on average with mine.
Comes with:
One ET-S BDC Pyrex clearomizer with one dual coil 1.8ohm installed coil (2.1ohm are available to purchase).
These Aspire coils are the new TWO hole version.
The manufacturer states this coil is good from 3v to 5v (I like it a lot at 3.8v, gets a little burned taste at higher than 4.4v for me)
This is NOT a "kit" and does not comes in a box.
Replacement Heads for the aspire can be found here
This will take any aspire coil.
How to fill and use your Aspire ET-S BDC Glassomizer
To fill, turn the tank upside down and remove the threaded end cap. Fill the outer portion of the tank (avoid getting e-liquid into the center airflow tube, this will cause gurgling and liquid spillage) and screw the end cap back onto the tank tightly.
This is a glass (pyrex) Tank
Return Policy on this item:
If it is DOA it will be replaced, if not, it is not under any warranty, this type of clearomizer has replacable heads, if you run into an issue with a coil after using it for a while you would need to purchase a replacement. This is also not warrantied for breakage of the inner glass, be careful with it, do not drop it. Inspect your clearomizer when you receive it for cracks.
Eric's Tips:
Some have reported that the aspire doesn't do well with "thick" liquids, if you are vaping mostly VG then you will have a harder draw with these, they have two holes in the coil. If you run into draw issues with a thicker liquid thin it down, it will become easier.
Clean this unit out with water and let it dry, you will get a better taste upon first use.
Gurgling or Leaking can occur if liquid gets into the center airflow tube. If you experience this clear this liquid by blowing through the mouthpiece into a paper towel. The excess liquid will come out of the threaded end of the device. If this happens after it is cleaned out you may need to check that all connections are screwed down tightly or replace the head and wick assembly with a new one.
The head and wick assembly can sometimes loosen itself in shipping or when the threaded end cap is unscrewed to fill and refill. Always check that it is screwed into the bottom cap tightly tightly before screwing the cap back on. Not doing so could result in a leaking or non-working device.
Always keep it wet! This is a dual coil and is more susceptible to burn out than a standard single coil do not run the tank completely dry. Doing so could result in a burnt or damaged wick and can cause leaking. Refill the tank when the liquid level reaches approximately 1/3 full
The lifespan of replacement heads can vary quite a bit, but following the above instructions will maximize the lifespan of the coil. Coils are not warranted for any reason.
Eric's Review:
LOVE IT! The performance has been nothing short of amazing for me on all the aspire units. It's an older style but so what? It's great and it's glass! :)

I have bought four of these beauties and have had nothing but great times vaping with these! No leaks, no gurgles, and I have tried all coil ohms with my cool fire 2 mod and never a problem. All I will use now!
Posted by Daniel Prince on 3rd Mar 2014
I am really enjoying my new glassomizer. This is my favorite e-cig device so far. I've tried blu cigs and other analogs but failed in the long run. Right out of the box, first hit was kinda burnt and strange. Once it warmed up I have had no problems. I have gone through 3 replacement coils so far but I am not sure if that is just because I take a lot of long drags on it. I have not touched a cigarette since I started using this product. Discount Vapers has the cheapest price I can find for the glassomizer and the replacements. Buy this and you will be happy. I am thinking of buying a spare just in case I break this one. I have dropped it 3 times now, once on solid concrete and it is still going strong.
Posted by Joe on 3rd Mar 2014
Not much to say other than a really well made product from Aspire. I've have used some of their heads up to 3 months with them still going strong. Also the fact it is class instead of plastic is a big plus for me as well.
Posted by jmikej on 22nd Feb 2014
I gave this tank five stars instead of four because I like it better than the other dual coils tanks on the market. I use these and Kanger products. The only reason I still use the Kanger products is because the coil heads work good and are easy to rebuild right out of the box. These coil heads are a lot easier to rebuild and will produce crazy vapor with my V5 after I modify them so that the wicks pass through the coil head and out into the tank.
Posted by Ray Bindas on 18th Feb 2014
like the device, easy to fill looks nice draws nice, but, the head that was in tasted awful and had to be thrown away. Hopefully the additional heads purchased will be better. Was looking for something that may last longer than kanger heads on a protank mini.
Posted by Ry on 17th Feb 2014
Works great. Definitely a favorite with my VV V3!! Replaced my Kanger products. 50/50 mix. Great hit and vape.
Posted by Byron b. on 16th Feb 2014
buy a couple, you won't be sorry.
Posted by Tim on 2nd Feb 2014
No leaking, slightly tighter draw than an Evod DBC.
Posted by OutInTheBlack on 24th Jan 2014
I bought this to replace my Smoktech ARO Pyrex. I was glad to finally be away from worries about plastic tanks cracking, and wanted to give a dual coil unit a shot. Biggest hits I've had so far. 80/20 juice gives a monster throat hit.
The other big plus is how easy it is to clean. Without the coil it breaks down into 3 pieces so it's easy to wash, rinse and dry.
Posted by emccarthy25 on 21st Jan 2014
This product works wonderful! I purchased this because I had some liquid that fogged up the plastic in my Kanger T3. I have to say this tank works better than I had hoped. I was orginally afraid I would have less vapor production since I am using it with a standard eGo battery, but it works really well. This resistance is idea(for me) as I get no burnt juice, good flavor and vapor production. I do plan on getting on of the 18650 eGo mods, and while the 1.8 ohm is in the 'green' zone on many resistance charts for the 3.7v it is rated for, I would probably recommend getting the higher resistance heads for the higher voltage battery.
Posted by Larry G. on 19th Jan 2014
Wow, couldn't believe the cloud this thing generates, was looking for the lightning! LOL Really, this thing is a BEAST. Very smooth draw, not airy at all, and the taste is unbelievable. Has officially replaced my ProTank as my at home favorite (sorry Kanger). Using 80/20 PG/VG juices with a 'standard' eGo battery. Thanks Eric for the great prices, products, and fast service.
Posted by email@example.com on 17th Jan 2014
This is by far my favorite tank. Once I got it I put 100% vg in it and I will be honest it burned up in no time. So now I use 50/50 in it and it is perfect. Also you should rinse it out before first use so you don't get the metallic taste. The design of these coils are great. They really give you a clean vape. One coil will last me a month and I am going through 4-5ml a day so in the long run it saves me money. VERY HAPPY!
Posted by Troy from Parts Unknown on 14th Jan 2014
This and all Aspire products are both awesome and annoying at the same time. When lucky enough to get a good coil, these freakin things rock. They will produce the best flavor and vapor out there. However, when the coils are bad (too often), they gurgle and leak like a bucket with no bottom. The coil I got with this glassomizer was leaky. Meaning, to use it I had to clear of liquid (blow the e-liquid out of the coil) and use for about 20 minutes. After that it gurgled and leaked all over my battery. I will buy replacement coils and hope for better luck with this (which will get here fast as DV is a great company with awesomely quick service, thanks). If these crap out, will stick with evods until Aspire gets their head out of their rectum and provides some quality control on the products they are producing.
It's very disappointing because these things have gotten some great reviews; was hoping to find the holy grail of glass/clearomizers. What I found was the same as most items I have tried; disappointed with sticky fingers and dirty batteries (from leaking e-juice, get your mind out of the gutter).
Posted by Wulfgar on 11th Jan 2014
I got this to replace my kanger evod and I will say that although it's a glass tank (major plus), I get a slight metallic taste from all the e-juice that I've run through it. Have moved on from this to a Kanger Protank 2 and a ceramic drip tip. Had the drip tip been replaceable on this, I wouldn't have had to change anything
Posted by Sherri on 11th Jan 2014
Works awesome! No leaks or gurgles. Exactly what I want from a tank.
Posted by Stuart Steele on 9th Jan 2014
This is really sweet! Glass, but with the metal you feel a little better about not having to worry about it. Great vape, nice, warm, and full of flavor. The DBC is really nice. I have recommended it to several people. Much nicer than the Mini Protank. Hold more juice and bigger vapor production. Keep in mind it is a little heavy but if that is not a conern it is worth a try.
Posted by littleconvertible on 7th Jan 2014
These glassomizers with the Aspire BDC coils are absolutely great! They are stylish looking on my eGo-T's, but the best part is they bring out the flavor notes of every juice I have put in them (even ones I have tried before and couldn't taste).
Posted by Dave from Az on 6th Jan 2014
I bought an ET-S based on a couple of people saying this was really really good. It isn't any better than the vivi Novas of old. It started gurgling after a few puffs and ended up leaking all over my MVP2. What a POS!
Posted by Springbrook on 3rd Jan 2014
I'm a relatively new Vaper, and have had bad luck with one of the more famous and popular Clearomizer tanks -- gurgling and leaking galore. I saw PBusardo's youtube review on the Aspire ET-S dual bottom coil and thought I'd give it a try. It's very nice! The flavor is awesome and the clouds are great. I won't give it a five star, because something needs to be exceptional to warrant that, imo. But for less than half the price of the other, this can't be beat. Also, the rap on the bdc is that you can't re-build the atomizer. But I just saw another video by RipTripper where he shows you actually can! If you have a variable voltage/wattage mod, use a little more power to rev up both coils -- esp if you notice some ever so slight gurgling at the lower voltage like I did. It might not be as attractive as some other clearomizers, but its glass, and vapes great. I highly recommend this little gem.
Posted by Randall Peterson on 3rd Jan 2014
This thing is amazing, puts out clouds of warm vapor with a lot of flavor. I've used pretty much all the kanger, smoktech, and vision products and this blows them away. I took off one star because the first coil burned out after a day, I bought a new pack of coils and the second one seems to be holding up pretty well.

Signalnoi.se wins Knight News Challenge, investment
Today the Knight Foundation announced at the MIT Media Lab that Signalnoi.se has won the Knight News Challenge. The Knight News Challenge accelerates media innovation by funding breakthrough ideas in news and information.
This years challenge was on Networks and was highly competitive. According to Knight there were over 1,000 applications, and this this challenge was
…more competitive than in years past. This year, we're running three contests, which means that instead of 12-15 winners per contest, we plan to select four or five. As a result, we will only be funding about 0.5% of applications before us. (By comparison, last year Harvard admitted 6.2% of the applicants to its freshmen class.)
We're excited about receiving this award and an investment from the Knight Foundation.

Anyone on Twitter might have noticed your Instagram photos don't look quite right.
That's because Instagram and Twitter aren't getting along so well.
Users could previously view photos posted with Instagram directly on their Twitter feeds. That ended Wednesday, when Instagram disabled the ability.
Basically, it boils down to territory. Instagram wants users to visit its site to view the full picture. Soon, even the cropped version users see now will disappear.
Users who still want to post filtered pictures directly to their Twitter feeds do have an option. It's more time consuming, but possible.
Just check out your Instagram settings. You'll find them under the widget in the top right corner of your profile. Scroll to the bottom and turn on the ability to save filtered photos right to your phone.
Instagram hipsters can then tweet pictures out like usual, filter and all.

Zakopalova Surprises Begu, Moves Into QFs
Published September 21, 2011 12:00
SEOUL, South Korea - Klara Zakopalova continued her love affair with the Hansol Korea Open on Wednesday, putting on a dominating performance for a 61 61 upset of the tournament's No.7 seed, Irina-Camelia Begu.
Zakopalova, who reached the 11th and most recent WTA final of her career at the International-level tournament one year ago, needed just 53 minutes for the straight set victory over the big-serving Begu, Romania's No.1 player.
"It was very windy today and I expected a much tougher match, but I'm of course happy to win," Zakopalova said. "I did well given the conditions."
Last year, Zakopalova beat the likes of Julia Goerges, Dinara Safina and Nadia Petrova to reach the finals here, where she finished runner-up to Alisa Kleybanova. "I have a lot of fans here in Korea, I don't know why!" Zakopalova commented. "I feel good here. I had a good week here last year, and I hope I can continue to play well and have another good week here this year."
Zakopalova is through to her seventh WTA quarterfinal of the year. She has already had two semifinal finishes (Hobart, Budapest) and four more quarterfinal finishes (Doha, Marbella, Estoril and Palermo). She has now equalled her personal best for most quarterfinals in a season, also making seven in 2004.
Zakopalova could face No.2 seed Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals, if Bartoli gets past Vania King later on Wednesday. The two have split their head-to-head series, 2-2, including a 1-1 head-to-head record so far this year.
"Bartoli is a big fighter and very experienced," the 29-year-old Czech said. "If I play against her I have to run a lot, serve well and basically do everything right. I know her game. I know I have to do my best to have a good result."
Following Zakopalova into the last eight shortly afterwards was Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova, who edged Yaroslava Shvedova in a tie-break in the first set when the Kazakh qualifier had to stop with an adductor strain. Cibulkova had three set points at 5-3 but ended up scoring a 76(4) retirement victory.
Cibulkova, the No.4 seed this week, will play either No.5 seed Polona Hercog or Carla Suárez Navarro, who played their match later in the day.

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionThe banded palm civet occurs in the Sundaic region and is found in Peninsular Myanmar, Indonesia (Sipora Island, South Pagi Island, Kalimantan, Sumatra; Holden 2006), Borneo (Azlan 2004; Wells et al. 2005), Peninsular Malaysia (Ratnam et al. 1995; Kawanishi and Sunquist 2004; Laidlaw pers. comm.), and peninsular Thailand (Wozencraft 2005, A.J. Lynam pers. comm). The distribution implies that Brunei may be included in this range but a specific record has not been traced.
The type locality of one race has been reported in Bankachon, Myanmar, but there are no known current records in Myanmar (Than Zaw et al. in press.). According to Payne et al. (1985) this species has been recorded in many localities in Borneo, and there are many subsequent records from the island including Mount Kinabulu National Park in Borneo, near Poring Hot Spring (600 m asl) by Wells et al. (2005) and Similajau National Park (Duckworth 1997). It is found at elevations up to 1,200 m (Payne et al. 1985).
In Sumatra, Holden (2006) had only a few records, all from lowland primary forest (sea level to a few hundred meters, with a maximum of 800 m) in the region of Kerinci Salbat. Other records may exist from the island and need to be collated. However, these data suggest the species may perhaps be confined to lowlands in Sumatra, and does not occur in hills or mountains.
