A Jewish Deduction
The Bible dictates that "Thou shalt not seethe [= cook] a kid [= young goat]
in his mother's milk." To avoid any possibility of breaking that regulation,
the Jewish tradition ruled that it also applies to female goats, to mature
goats, and to the meat and milk of two completely unrelated goats. It is
also forbidden to eat the meat with fresh milk, and it applies to beef
and mutten as well (including mixing the milk and meat of two different
beasts). Finally, chicken, which are incapable of milk production, may not
be eaten along with any mammal's milk either.
We are fortunate that most mathematicians were not Jewish. Otherwise, it
would have been forbidden to divide by all numbers between -1 and 1.

Suggested Improvements to the Documentation:
The WYSIWYT project was for a long time fascinated by Microsoft's tremendous
desire to advance its Internet Explorer web-browser. We saw the fact that
they switched the help systems of the upcoming Windows 98, as well as
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0, to HTML a major step in advancing our project.
As a complementary step, some of the chief heads of our project suggested
that the Windows' manuals themselves, as well as all of Microsoft's ads,
will be designed in HTML and printed after being rendered by IE4. While this
project is in the preliminary and planning stages, we expect it to acquire a
large momentum soon.

Tear Jerker: The Tyrant Falls in Love
- Volume 6: After Tomoe and Kurokawa announce their relationship for the first time to Souichi's dad, who accepts them fairly readily, Morinaga slips off in the commotion to be alone. Souichi finds him crying in the bathroom, because Soujin's understanding only threw into relief how Morinaga's own parents rejected him after they found out he was gay, parents whom he's not even on speaking terms with anymore. Though he otherwise tends not to make a big deal of it, it's obvious in this moment just how much he cares, and it's hard to resist crying a little with him in sympathy.
- Chapter 9 of Volume 7. Period.
- When Souichi and Morinaga make love after Souichi's house burns down in Volume 4. Probably the cutest thing ever is when Souichi gently nuzzles Morinaga's arm injury, which he'd received earlier trying to defend Souichi's little sister.

Under Windows Vista (2008 and Seven), an application cannot write in Program Files Folder. I understand that UAC is the responsible, but it prevents my application to self-update. Is there a folder somewhere (available in Windows XP, Vista (and all other version)) which would allow me to deploy my application and let it self-update without having to make it "elevated"?
I thought of ClickOnce, but I can't use since I don't want to pay for the expensive certificate (sign the code, installer, etc.).

ur story was beautiful! loved it
| OtterAndTerrier chapter 1 . 1/15
I can't believe I hadn't read this one yet! I looove the RHr community so much. It was a wonderful story, I loved it.
| melove167 chapter 1 . 9/14/2014
Great job! These guys are definitely not just a wish fulfillment.
| rhmac12 chapter 1 . 8/5/2014
Just BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN...just so Romione...
Classic line was Hermione's repeating Ron "oi-wanna have another go" ;)
Ron " they would have been ugly lil gits" ROFL- agree with Ron ;)
| Your Valensi chapter 1 . 6/22/2014
First, thank you so much for writing this.
It's JK Rowling's world and her characters, but I have to admit that I was really disappointed when I read that article. The buildup towards Ron and Hermione becoming a couple was gradual but pretty clear in my opinion. Everything you incorporated into their dialogue made so much sense to me. How Harry and Hermione would have been too boring together - I completely agree. They're so platonic and at times I thought that Hermione behaved more as a motherly/sisterly figure towards him.
I also like that you addressed the marriage counseling. There's always a stigma against forms of therapy such as that, but if they made it through it, more power to them!
Overall, I loved this story. This is just a suggestion, but maybe you should write something similar about Harry and Ginny. I've always thought one of the biggest injustices in the series was making Ginny so underdeveloped as a character. But a combination of my own opinions/some of the stories I've read/Ginny's personality in the books has made me perceive her as someone who is strong and spirited, but with her own insecurities. And I also believe that she's the only one who can give Harry the tough love he desperately needs.
Thank you so much for writing this once again. I really enjoyed it.
| Guest chapter 1 . 4/26/2014
Loved it! Also, thanks for writing such a story when you did, when it was needed the most. Writers like you are why R/Hr is the best ship out there! No matter what other unintelligent people might say.
| hprbdfan chapter 1 . 2/28/2014
Haha great story, I truly believe that Ron and Hermione are meant to be and even Queen Rowling wouldn't be able to change my mind. Great chapter!
| Alexa Chloe chapter 1 . 2/21/2014
I really don't know how I missed this one! I guess I should just type "controversy" in FFN's search and look for fics posted after Jan. 31st.
Definitely liked this one, Ron and Hermione are too strong to break apart. They have been through so much together, and their relationship was a long time coming. People could see it as early as the first book! If not the first, then the second or third. But it was definitely Hermione & Ron, not Hermione & Harry!
| Gone chapter 1 . 2/21/2014
This is very fitting
| whatapileofshit10 chapter 1 . 2/13/2014
I love this and couldn't agree more! Middle finger to all those who don't like Ron and the non-Romione shippers! :)
Great Story!
| anonymous chapter 1 . 2/13/2014
Thank you for this!
I always loved Hermione and Ron together because they had a mutual sort of passion, loved to talk, and really cared about about each. And they *liked* arguing with each other, that doesn't make them unhealthy or abusive or a terrible long-term couple. Unless if you automatically label Ron as the mean bully and completely ignore that Hermione gave as good as she got, sometimes worse, so she can be paired off with a romanticized, often weird and OOC version of Harry or one of the other characters. She and Ron had fun with each other and always, always worked through their friendship and tentative romantic problems. And they were TEENAGERS. Who hasn't acted stupidly as a teenager and matured? I fail to see why they would crash and burn simply because Ron left, partly due to a piece of a Dark Magic. Let's just ignore that he went back, wanted to go back right away, didn't try to justify or excuse himself, and spent weeks trying to make things up to Hermione and offered up his life for hers without hesitation. And let's just ignore that Hermione wanted him, that he always made her just as emotional, happy, and jealous as she made him. Instead of a precursor to a miserable relationship, I saw theirs as a refining process, and by DH they were both so solid and had grown up so much, it's weird to imagine them as anything but a married couple.
Anyway, this was what I needed even after reading the full interview. Love all the little digs you threw in here and how honest, comfortable, and loving R/Hr are in this. The one good thing about the interview mess is the revival of this ship's community.
| amelinasa chapter 1 . 2/12/2014
Yihaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Romione forever! Your fiction is just perfect, amazing, a good way to answer all the crap I heard since this interview! My supposition is that JKR was under the imperius curse!
Thanks a lot for your fiction!
| mkoala chapter 1 . 2/8/2014
Brilliant - really enjoyed your taken on them. I am so disappointed with JK and with Ron bashing in general. To me the books clearly show the connection between Ron & Hermione. Harry and Hermione have always had more of a brother/sister relationship. The movies didn't necessarily translate that though - I don't think the director/writer of the last 4 was committed to them as a couple. Thanks for continuing to fight the good fight :)
| ooabaznogoo chapter 1 . 2/8/2014
That was great! I imagine that if Harry & Hermione had ended up together, she would have turned to Ron for an affair. You're so right, Harry and Hermione would be bored together. He would let her win any argument and not want to get her riled up... That's not what she would want. Hermione needs to operate at a certain level of resistance and conflict. She needs to be pushed and questioned. Ron isn't afraid to do that and that's why they work.
Also, as you perfectly captured, they're not 12 anymore. The resistance people have towards Ron and Hermione being together is based on things they did as children. That's not fair. They grew up. They learned how to treat each other better. And they lived happily ever after. The end. :)

Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Donate $250K to Planned Parenthood
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is making a donation of $250,000 to Planned Parenthood Federation of America in an effort to defray the loss of funds withdrawn by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The foundation recently stopped a grant to Planned Parenthood that paid for breast cancer screenings and educational programs.
"Politics have no place in health care," said the mayor in a statement Thursday, "Breast cancer screening saves lives and hundreds of thousands of women rely on Planned Parenthood for access to care. We should be helping women access that care, not placing barriers in their way."
The gift is a dollar-for-dollar match for each of the next $250,000 donated, according to an aide to mayor.
In a statement, Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said this contribution will help ensure that politics doesn't interfere with women having access to health care.
"People all across the country have stepped forward in the last 48 hours to offer help and support," Richards said, "and the mayor's donation will help ensure that no woman is denied breast cancer services because of right-wing political pressure campaigns."
Planned Parenthood said the Komen grants totaled roughly $650,000 last year and $580,000 the year before, going to 19 of its affiliates for breast-cancer screening and other breast-health services.
According to Planned Parenthood, its health centers performed more than 4 million breast exams over the past five years, including nearly 170,000 as a result of Komen grants.
In response to what it calls the "mischaracterization" of its decision to withdraw funding from Planned Parenthood, the Susan G. Komen for Cure released a video statement from its founder and CEO, Nancy G. Brinker.
Brinker said the organization began a review of their grants and standards starting in 2010.
"We are working to eliminate duplicative grants, freeing up more dollars for higher impact programs," said Brinker. "We also added more stringent eligibility and performance criteria to support these new strategies. Some may say our new standards are too exacting but over the past 30 years, people haven't just given us their money, they've given us their trust."
Brinker said that this strategic shift will affect "any number of long-standing partners."
Komen has not yet responded to a request for comment about what other partners have lost funding.
Komen is based in Dallas and was founded in 1982. The organization has invested more than $1.9 billion since then in research, health services and advocacy while becoming the largest breast-cancer charity in the nation. It runs Race for the Cure fundraising events across the globe.
The next event in New York City is scheduled for September 9, 2012.

Response Of Double-Auction Markets To Instantaneous Selling-Buying Signals With Stochastic Bid-Ask Spread
Download Now
Date Added: Mar 2011
Format: PDF
Statistical properties of order-driven double-auction markets with Bid-Ask spread are investigated through the dynamical quantities such as response function. The authors first attempt to utilize the so-called Madhavan-Richardson-Roomans model (MRR for short) to simulate the stochastic process of the price-change in empirical data sets (say, EUR/JPY or USD/JPY exchange rates) in which the Bid-Ask spread fluctuates in time. They find that the MRR theory apparently fails to simulate so much as the qualitative behaviour ('Non-monotonic' behaviour) of the response function R(l) (l denotes the difference of times at which the response function is evaluated) calculated from the data.

"Nuevo" is something of a near-hallucinatory journey in sound. A bawdy song from Mazatlan, a romantic standard of the 60's, "space-age bachelor pad music" of Esquivel, foot-stomping party music, a percussion-laden concert work, a prime-time Mexican TV theme, a mariachi tune, and an extraordinary five-part sonic portrait of contemporary Mexico by Cafe Tacuba are only some of the ingredients in a kaleidoscopic, mesmerizing melange of music spanning some 100 years. Beginning with their breakthrough project "Pieces of Africa" in 1991, some of the most compelling recordings in the Kronos discography have resulted from their collaborative explorations of musical programs drawn from a particular country or region of the world. With "Nuevo" - a project based entirely around Mexican composers, musical traditions, and influences - they have delivered one of their most striking group odysseys to date. Produced by Gustavo Santaolalla, both an authority of Latin American art music as well as the most in-demand producer of rock en espanol, the album also features a host of great artists from both the concert hall as well as the streets of Mexico.
To say that the Kronos Quartet's Nuevo is their most adventurous outing to date is hardly an understatement. This diverse collection of Mexican compositions and traditional tunes brims with an unpredictable energy and a dazzling array of Latin American guest performers, and, yes, Kronos keeps up throughout. A cocktail pop tune from Esquivel gets covered, there's a chamber arrangement of Revueltas's sprawling orchestral work Sensemaya, and Nortec Collective member Plankton Man remixes Kronos's interpretation of "El Sinaloense" into a sizzling dance music track, which closes the disc. The playing is spirited, to say the least (just check out "El Llorar," with guest vocalists Alejandro Flores and Efren Vargas). But this is foremost a party record. A bevy of reverb effects and instrumentation (including a squeaky musical leaf solo on "Perfidia") ensures that things stay unpredictable. Production work by Rock en Espanol producer Gustavo Santaolalla infuses this disc with an edgy modernism. The bulk of these compositions have been arranged by composer Osvaldo Golijov, who seemingly brings a manic energy and a playfulness to everything he touches. Chamber music purists may scoff, but the rest of us will be busy dancing and thrilling to this exciting, genre-blurring Kronos project. --Jason Verlinde

How long will grapefruit juice stay in my system
Not Medical Advice: What we found is that the half-life of the effects of grapefruit juice is estimated to be around 12 hours, but these effects may last from 4 hours to 24 hours.
It is risky to take medications with grapefruit, as it contains furanocoumarins, which block an enzyme that normally breaks down certain medications in the body.
In an article from WebMD published on November 27, 2012, there are more than 85 drugs that may interact with grapefruit. The number of drugs that may result in potentially fatal side effects when mixed with grapefruit increased from 17 to 43 during the past four years. This equates to more than six new potentially risky drugs a year.
Researchers note that grapefruit interaction is specific to certain drugs and doesn't necessarily affect an entire drug class. This can allow for grapefruit-friendly options.
But better safe than sorry, if you are to take a medicine, make sure to double check it with your doctor or pharmacist, as it doesn't really require a lot of grapefruit juice to produce a dangerous interaction.
Check out some tips to help you stay safe with grapefruit interaction at Healthafter50.com.

(Jesse D. Garrabrant/Getty Images)Mike Krzyzewski has said he will step down after Team USA won its second consecutive Olympic gold medal with him leading the way as head coach. And it appears that Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers and Gregg Popovich are two leading candidates to replace Krzyzewski on the bench, ESPN.com's Marc Stein reported Sunday. From Stein's report:Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers and San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich have indeed already moved to the top of the list to take over in 2013 for Krzyzewski, who is expected to remain with the program as a top aide to Colangelo if he can't be convinced to extend his coaching tenure.Sources say Louisville coach Rick Pitino has also expressed strong interest in the position, but the general expectation in USAB circles is that Krzyzewski will be succeeded by an NBA coach.Nevertheless, program chairman Jerry Colangelo and USA players plan to try to convince Krzyzewski to stick around for one more shot."I'm sure we can get him to come back," Kevin Durant told Stein. But Colangelo wasn't as optimistic."Chances are not," he said. But we'll have to have that conversation on an official basis. He's said this is it and I'll respect his choice. But knowing me as I know me, I'll have that conversation and we'll see." Promoted Stories Comments

The Politics of Imagination
The Politics of Imagination offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the contemporary relationship between politics and the imagination. What role does our capacity to form images play in politics? And can we define politics as a struggle for people's imagination? As a result of the increasingly central place of the media in our lives, the political role of imagination has undergone a massive quantitative and a qualitative change. As such, there has been a revival of interest in the concept of imagination, as the intimate connections between our capacity to form images and politics becomes more and more evident. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and theoretical outlooks, The Politics of Imagination examines how the power of imagination reverberates in the various ambits of social and political life: in law, history, art, gender, economy, religion and the natural sciences. And it will be of considerable interest to those with contemporary interests in philosophy, political philosophy, political science, legal theory, gender studies, sociology, nationalism, identity studies, cultural studies, and media studies.less

Dear Editor,
IRS apologists are furiously trying to change the subject from the outrageous targeting of political opponents by the IRS to a policy debate over forced disclosure of contributions to groups that engage in political speech. The story is that a deluge of applications forced the IRS to cut corners and the targeting scandal was an accidental result of mismanaging that flood. From there the apologists pivot to demanding a new crackdown on political speech, forced disclosure of donors, or both. But the story is a fairy tale and the "solutions" are unconstitutional.
As part of the brash rash of wire-brush scouring on the Teflon coating that routinely seals the Obama presidency, a large heavy-duty cast-iron deal has been made of the IRS conducting audits on Tea Party-affiliated organizations. But scratch the surface and it makes a sort of perverse sense.
The growing scandals enveloping the Obama administration are becoming a series of shiny baubles being dangled before the right and the left alike. The right wants to impeach Obama, while the left, of course, wants to blindly defend him. Meanwhile, the American people are being sold a bill of goods that this is a partisan fight and that partisanship is a danger to the Republic. The truth is, the real danger lies in so-called bipartisanship.
Having just helped my mother with her annual yard sale, I have come to a disturbing conclusion.
Yesterday I read an interesting article in Newsweek about the connection between tornadoes and climate change.
Exclusive Excerpt from: "Comical Sense: A Lone Humorist Takes on a World Gone Nutty!" by Tom Purcell
Forget the political "blame game." The biggest game in town now is the credibility game -- a high-stakes exercise that will end with America's political middle deciding who is trustworthy and who isn't. Some key players:
HOLLYWOOD - God bless America, and how's everybody?
At some point, we need to stop believing in miracles, at least in education. While we're still getting over the RICO indictments handed down in the Atlanta cheating scandal comes the revelation that the success Michelle Rhee achieved as the "no excuses" superintendent of Washington, D.C.'s public schools was the product of massive cheating. Those asking why Rhee isn't under indictment just like her former colleague in Atlanta are missing the bigger question: If she's an example of its success, is the theory behind market-driven education reform valid?
Up until about an hour ago, most Americans thought Benghazi was the guy who palled around with John Cassavetes back in the '60s, but now it's obvious we're talking about the foreign policy arm of a multi-ramped tar pit the president has found himself swimming -- up to his armpits. Yes, friends, it's pity time at the White House.
Bill Clinton, wearing a white toga and a crown of gold, sat in a garden while attractive women fed him grapes. President Obama, having just suffered the most devastating week of his presidency, sat nearby, seeking advice in the art of telling whoppers. Using the Socratic method of teaching, Clinton began to tutor his new student.
Tying up a few loose ends on stories that didn't make the front page:
"It will create a bureaucracy with the efficiency of the Post Office, the frugality of the Pentagon and the compassion of the IRS."– Mantra of those who opposed HillaryCare in the 1990s.
"We have a large government," political consultant David Axelrod offered as a plea of ignorance to all of the scandals swirling around his boss. "Part of being president is there's so much beneath you that you can't know because the government is so vast." And yet, thanks to Axelrod and Obama, we now stand on the precipice of the largest expansion of government power in almost half a century: Obamacare, officially known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Car e Act (PPACA).

Attitudes towards drug legalization among drug users
ABSTRACT Research shows that support for legalization of drugs varies significantly among different sociodemographic and political groups. Yet there is little research examining the degree of support for legalization of drugs among drug users. This paper examines how frequency and type of drug use affect the support for legalization of drugs after adjusting for the effects of political affiliation and sociodemographic characteristics. A sample of 188 drug users and non-drug users were asked whether they would support the legalization of marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. Respondents reported their use of marijuana, crack, cocaine, heroin, speedball, and/or methamphetamines during the previous 30 days. Support for legalization of drugs was analyzed by estimating three separate logistic regressions. The results showed that the support for the legalization of drugs depended on the definition of "drug user" and the type of drug. In general, however, the results showed that marijuana users were more likely to support legalizing marijuana, but they were less likely to support the legalization of cocaine and heroin. On the other hand, users of crack, cocaine, heroin, speedball, and/or methamphetamines were more likely to support legalizing all drugs including cocaine and heroin.

- "Ecstasy users tend to under-estimate the risks related to ecstasy use (Baggott, 2002; Levy, OGrady, Wish, & Arria, 2005). At the same time, in relation to the substance used, regular users support legalization of illicit drug use; cannabis users support cannabis legalization, but vote against heroin and cocaine legalization (Trevino & Richard, 2002).

Article: Perceived risks of alcohol and illicit drugs: Relation to prevalence of use on individual and country level[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background: Individual experience with substance use is considered as one of the principal factors influencing risk perception and attitudes of young people towards substance use. The aim of this article is to show the relationship between self‐reported prevalence and the subjectively perceived risks of substance use, both for individuals and at the country level. Methodology: The relationships were analysed on a sample of students participating in the ESPAD survey in eight European countries. The sample of 22,899 students was divided into five groups: abstainers (9.3%), experimental alcohol consumers (52.0%), regular alcohol consumers (14.2%), experimental drug users (12.3%), and regular drug users (12.2%). Findings: Significant differences were observed in the risk perception of use of selected substances among five types of users. The percentage of students perceiving moderate or great risks of substance use tends to fall across the groups with increasing prevalence of more risky patterns of substance use. Highest perceived risks of alcohol and illicit drugs use were found among abstainers and experimental alcohol consumers, while both experimental and regular drug users tend to perceive lower risks. Regular alcohol consumers perceive relatively high risks of illicit drug use, but they under‐estimate the risks of alcohol consumption. Country differences were observed in the level of perceived risks. These differences correspond to a different distribution of types of users and to the overall prevalence of substance use in individual countries.Journal of Substance Use 08/2009; 14(3-4):250-264.

ABSTRACT: Americans have long held a variety of opinions when it comes to the legalization of marijuana. While previous research has mostly focused on use rates and behavior, the purpose of this examination is to specifically analyze people's attitudes towards marijuana legalization. Of particular importance was (1) the extent to which attitudes towards marijuana legalization have changed over the past four decades and (2) how the social factors often associated with marijuana legalization attitudes have changed over the same period. Results indicate that over one-third of Americans now believe marijuana should be made legal. These pro-legalization attitudes are at their highest levels in four decades. Being younger, more educated, and liberal have been associated with these positive attitudes towards marijuana legalization. Yet age and education has become slightly less significant. Greater church attendance has remained associated with negative attitudes. While being white once correlated with anti-legalization attitudes, it is now positively associated with marijuana legalization attitudes. Finally, this study describes the remaining findings and thoughts.
Article: Drug Views[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Substance abuse is a significant social problem and political issue. Students at a Midwestern university were surveyed on their drug views. The findings suggest that race is a statistically significant factor on students' views toward drugs. White students were more likely than non-Whites to view drugs as a pressing social issue, to consider drug use as a character weakness, and to support a punitive response to drug use. In contrast, non-Whites were more likely than Whites to view drug abuse as an illness, to support treatment as a response, to be tolerant of marijuana use, and to support legalization of marijuana. Both groups of students considered alcohol a dangerous drug. Differences associated with race remained statistically significant in multivariate analysis after controlling for age, academic standing, political affiliation, and religiosity.Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice 07/2006; 4(1-2-1-2):93-111.
