The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for god to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God! how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "how did you know i was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "we saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because god is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of god. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, god has a positive answer for it :

The new Caliph's scandalous proclamation that "Syria does not belong to the Syrians and Iraq does not belong to the Iraqis" certainly ought to provide a basis for pitting national and local identities against this virulent jihadist internationalism. Rage against Mr Al Maliki and other Shiite leaders shouldn't, and indeed mustn't, be enough to reconcile most Iraqi Sunnis to outrageous pronouncements that harm their interests.

text: I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm assuming I'm not so here is my small suggestions. xenForo lets you set moderators to certain forums if you don't want them to be super mods. However, what do you do when you want a moderator for an entire category? It's tedious to set a moderator for multiple forums under the category, especially if you have a lot of forums in it. It would be best if you could simply set a moderator to a category and have their moderation permissions recourse to every forum and subforum under that certain category.

Chloe smiled against Oliver chest and inched slightly closer to him as she ran her foot up and down the length of his leg. There was certainly one good thing about their arrangement being out in the open. At least now she could stay the night with him and enjoy the benefits of amazing morning after sex before being forced to deal with all the daily dramas her life hectic always seemed to dole out.
She ran her hand down his chest and under the sheet hanging loosely around his waist. Oliver groaned and his hips bucked as she wrapped her hand around him.
"What are you doing?"
Chloe looked up and him and grinned, "I just thought I'd take advantage of the fact that I can be here in the morning now without having to worry about Lois calling a million times wondering where I am."
She began slowly moving her hand up and down him, and couldn't help but smile wider when he let out a sharp hiss. She loved the effect she had on him, they'd barely started and he was already hard, and between the feel of his hard body against hers and the thrill she got from the sounds he was making as she stroked him, she was more the ready for him.
Chloe quickly moved onto him, straddling his hips. She stared down at him for only a few seconds before impaling herself on him. She let out a loud groan at the feel of Oliver filling her.
Oliver's eyes grew wide as she began to ride him. Her hips slamming into his at an impossible rate as her breasts bounced proudly before him. He loved her like this… loved when she would climb on top of him and take him however she wanted… loved the noises she made. He loved the way her body wrapped around him… he loved… Oliver lost his train of thought as she leaned back placing her hands just below his knees. He knew what she wanted, after all the times they'd been his way he knew what every movement she made meant. What every movements secret message was, and this one… well this one meant one thing only.
He pushed himself into a sitting position and wrapped one arm around her waist while his other hand trailed down valley between her breasts and over her flat stomach stopping just short of where he knew she wanted him to touch her.
Chloe slowed her movements when she felt his hand stop and whined, "Ollie… please."
"Please what?" She could hear the grin in his voice and she was torn between slapping him for his cockiness and saying exactly what he wanted her to. The latter quickly won out.
"Touch me." she pleaded breathlessly.
Oliver grinned and moved his hand lower pressing his thumb against her clit and moving it slowly in circular motions.
Chloe mewed loudly screaming out his name and he began to move his hand faster as she got closer. Her inner walls began to flutter lightly around his length and he pinched her clit lightly sending her over the edge. As soon as her wails ended her body began to relax and he flipped them driving into her only a handful of times before exploding inside her wet heat.
Oliver fell forward nearly collapsing on top of her then rolled to the side. "I think I'm gonna like you staying the night." he teased kissing her shoulder softly.
Chloe stiffened for a moment at his tender act then sat back up pulling the blanket tightly around her. She glanced around the floor looking for any bits of her discarded clothes from the night before. She really needed to be more aware of what direction he threw her clothes, she couldn't find anything.
Oliver watched her, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips, "what are you doing?"
"Looking for my clothes." She stood from the bed pulling the sheet with her as she continued to search.
Oliver rolled his eyes and stood from the bed. He reached down and picked up his discarded boxers from the night before, slipped them on then walked over to the closet. He opened the door and pulled out a silk knee length robe and held it out for her, "here."
She turned to him and stared blankly at the garment in his hand, "what's that?"
"A robe," he answered slowly.
She reached out hesitantly and took it from him her eyes wide. She pulled the sheet from her body and tossed it back on the bed then looked back at him as she slid the robe on. She turned away from him as she tied the thin strip of silk into a knot at her waist. Why would he have a robe there for her? For a split second she worried that maybe it wasn't actually there just for her but possibly for any woman who happened to make it through the entire night without being shown the door, but she quickly pushed that thought aside. She'd been here countless times before and while it didn't happen often this certainly wasn't the first time she'd spent the night, and this was the first time this article of clothing had made an appearance.
Oliver's arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her back flush against his chest, "I just thought that since everything's out in the open you'd probably be spending a lot more nights here… or at least I hoped you would be." He swallowed hard when she didn't respond with one of her typical snaky comebacks. "If you don't like it you don't have to wear it… I can just take it back," he continued softly.
Chloe quickly turned in his arms, "no don't do that," she said firmly, She lowered her gaze to his chest trying to focus her gaze on anything besides his deep brown eyes, "I like it," her voice was barely above a whisper.
Oliver reached down and nudged her face up towards his with a crooked finger, "good," he kissed her softly. "You hungry?"
Chloe nodded, "yeah."
He let go of her and grabbed her hand then stepped toward the door, "come on, lets get you fed."
Chloe trailed behind him. This was hardly what she'd envisioned the night before. Personal robes hung in his closet for her, soft tender kisses, having breakfast together… those were not the kind of things that people in their kind of relationship did. This entire morning was throwing her for a loop. The best thing to do was to just have a quick breakfast with him and make an excuse to leave, the last thing she needed was getting used to little moments like this. They weren't a couple and pretending they were or looking into the smallest acts of friendship and kindness as something more would end up with nothing more then her being hurt.
Chloe was so lost in her thought that she hadn't realized that Oliver had stopped moving and walked right into him. She looked up and found him tugging uselessly on the door knob. "What are you doing?"
"The door won't open," he slammed his hand into it several times and yanked again. Still not budging it, "I think we're stuck."
"You think?" she bit out sarcastically. This was not good having breakfast with him was going to be awkward enough, but being stuck in a small room with no way out was not a good idea right now. "Wait where's your phone? Maybe we can get a hold of one of the team and get them to bust us out if here."
Oliver nodded and moved past her grumbling to himself about how irritable and bossy she was in the morning and making sure to have a cup of coffee sitting on the bed side table waiting for her when he woke up whenever she spent the night in the future.
Oliver glanced around the table next to his side of the bed and frowned, "my phone's gone."
"I must have left it in the living room," he explained with a shrug.
Chloe rolled her eyes and marched over looking on the other table, "I don't think so."
"What are you talking about?"
"Mines gone too." She walked around the foot of the bed and held out a bright pink post it with very familiar scribbling on it.
It's time to have the talk… you're not getting out of there until you do!
"I'm gonna kill her." Chloe' eyes darted around the room, "there has to be some way out of here," she mumbled softly.
Oliver perked up suddenly, "my gear!"
"I can use my gear to get us out of here," he pointed to the window and grinned smugly.
Chloe rolled her eyes, "that would be a great idea Ollie… except for two things. One," she held up a finger, "Your gear isn't in here it's in your secret room, and two, "she held up a second digit, "that room is in the living room… on the other side of the locked door." Chloe turned away from him and started looking for alternate escape routes when he suddenly felt a firm smack on her backside, she whipped around and glared at him.
"Don't be a smart ass. I was talking about my newest stuff. It just came yesterday and I stored it in my closet until I could put it away properly."
Chloe closed the distance between them and grabbed the side of his face pulling his lips firmly against hers. She pulled away only seconds later and grinned up at him, "I never thought I'd say this, but right now I'm so grateful for your anal retentive need to keep that room perfect."
Oliver smiled back at her and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, "how grateful?"
"As soon as you get us out of here I'll show you."
Oliver quickly moved past her and into the closet, He searched the floor all around where he had left it and then noticed the small piece of paper identical to the one Chloe had showed him minutes before. He let out a growl and snatched it up before storming back into the bedroom. "If you want to kill your cousin you're gonna have to get in line." he told her waving the small piece of paper in the air.
Chloe groaned, "what does that one say?"
"Did you really think it would be that easy?" He read aloud.
Chloe threw her hands up in the air, "I cannot believe her! When we get out of here I swear I'm gonna… Wait!"
"Clark," she announced proudly, "we don't need a phone to call him."
"Chloe I really don't think Clark is gonna be willing to cross…"
They both stood silent for several minutes as Chloe glanced back and forth between the window and door expectantly. She collapsed onto the bed. "What are we gonna do?"
"Wait it out?" Oliver suggested. He moved over and sat down on the bed beside her. "You know there are plenty of things we can do to pass the time."
Chloe narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to snap at him but didn't get the chance.
"Right… got it… not gonna happen."
Chloe gave him a quick nod and then fell back against the mattress, "there's gotta be another way." This was ridiculous. They accomplished the impossible nearly every night. Got out of life and death situations constantly. Usually using simply her brains and his brawn and natural skills, and now this time she was drawing a blank. There had to be a way. She sat back up and studied the room again.
The door wasn't an option, Lois must have had Clark weld it shut or something because it wasn't opening no matter how many times Oliver tried to force it open.
The window was out as well, without his gear there was no way Ollie could maneuver the outer walls of the clock tower.
It was then that she noticed the small vent in the top right hand corner just below the ceiling. Chloe jumped from the bed and crossed the room to get a closer look. It looked tiny that was for sure, but given her size she just might be able to squeeze through it. Her eyes darted around the room and landed on the large arm chair Oliver had in the opposite corner.
"What?" Oliver asked shaking his head at her odd behavior.
She pointed at the vent, "a way out." she pointed to the corner, "can you bring me that chair?"
He stood from the bed rolling his eyes at her. He had no idea what had gotten into her. Granted Lois going to extremes and locking them alone in a room was hardly the ideal situation, but it wasn't worth the fit she was throwing over it. He picked up the chair and carried it over to her.
"Thank You." she said as she climbed up onto it and stretched her arm above her. It wasn't gonna work even with the additional height she still was almost eighteen inches short.
"Get down and let me try," he offered
Chloe jumped down and shook her head at his offer, "that won't work Ollie, even if you do reach it how do you plan to get that giant body of yours into that tiny opening?"
"Fine," he crossed his arms over his chest, "then what do you suggest?"
She tugged on her lower lip hesitantly, "ever play Chicken?"
"You can't be serious."
"I really don't see any other option at this point," she motioned toward the floor, "now get on your knees."
Oliver raised an eyebrow and smirked at her choice of words.
"Don't," she warned.
He held up his hands, "fine," he fell to his knees still smiling, and Chloe moved behind him and threw one leg over each over his shoulders. He stood up his legs slightly wobbling as he closed the distance between them and the wall.
Chloe began banging angrily on the grate above them and finally let out a frustrated wail.
"I don't know if this damn thing is super glued or melted right to the wall, but it won't budge."
"You've gotta be kidding me?"
"I wish I was, she must have had Clark help her with more then just the door."
"Shit." He gripped her thighs tightly and lowered himself back down so she could climb off him.
Chloe glared at the vent once more then moved back to the bed and plopped down on the edge.
"You know, I get that you were against it before," Oliver started sitting beside her, "but since were stuck in here anyway we could always…" He nodded to the bed suggestively.
"Don't you dare finish that sentence Oliver Queen." She fell back, "I swear after this they're both dead."
Oliver lowered himself beside her propping his head up on one hand as his other rested against her exposed thigh, "well if you prefer," his hand began to move farther up her leg, "we could just do what Lois wants and have the talk."
She stared back at him her eyes wide. The last thing she wanted was to have this discussion with him as a result of her cousin's plotting, especially since she could tell by the playful glint in his eye that he was only suggesting it because he was so certain that it was the last thing she wanted.
Chloe rolled over straddling his waist, "Oliver," she started, grinding her hips against his.
She leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his neck, "shut up," she whispered in his ear.
She slowly slid down his body leaving a trail of hot opened mouth kisses down his chest. Before he had a chance to realize what she was doing her mouth closed around him.
Oliver groaned loudly as she hollowed her cheeks and moaned lightly causing light vibrations to flow through him. Maybe he wouldn't be in such a hurry to kill Lois and Clark after all.
Chloe fell to the side of him, both of them still panting heavily after a very vigorous round three. Oliver rolled to his side and smiled as she let out a labored 'wow'.
They'd been stuck in Lois's make shift prison for over two hours, and now that they knew there was no way out Oliver realized this was as good a time as any to push forward and take a shot at Lois's talk idea.
She turned her head toward him and smiled, "yeah?"
"Maybe we could…"
A loud banging on the bedroom door interrupted him and he watched as Chloe jumped from the bed, slipped back on the robe, and then dashed across the room, "Lois is that you?"
"Hey guys, have you talked everything out yet?"
Chloe slammed her hand into the hard wood, "Lois Joanne Lane, Open this door right now!"
"Have you guys talked everything out yet?" she repeated.
Chloe let out a frustrated growl, "Lois, this isn't something you can force us into doing…"
Lois chuckled loudly from the other side of the door, "I'm sorry do you remember who you're talking to. You know me Chlo, and you should know better then anyone that I'm not giving in until the two of you do what I'm telling you to. Now have THE TALK and Define the relationship! If you don't you'll just have to get used to the less then ideal accommodations."
Chloe crossed her arms over her chest, "I'm guessing you don't see the flaw in this little plan of yours, do you?"
Lois scoffed, "there is no flaw… my plan is perfect."
"Hardly." Chloe answered, "You don't see the issue with locking two people in a purely physical relationship alone in a room with nothing but a bed and each other to occupy their time?"
Chloe slammed her hand into the door, "Lois this is ridiculous! Now stop messing around and open the damn door!" She started banging again countless whaps against the door and ignoring the throbbing pain starting in her hand and working its way down her wrist. "I swear if you don't you will be sorry! You keep telling me I know who I'm dealing with, but do you remember who you're dealing with. I'm Chloe Sullivan I can obliterate you entire virtual existence in a matter of minutes. I can find every article you write and delete before you send it to press. I will do whatever it takes to get back at you!"
"You don't think I considered that already? Trust me when I say I have and while at first it made me almost throw my entire genius plan out the window, I realized eventually, the two of you're gonna need some kind of sustenance to replenish your strength, and when you do the only way you'll get it is by doing what I say. " Lois's voice raised several levels, "Hey Ollie, have you ever dealt with her when she's been up more then a few hour without any kind of coffee… it is not pretty. I suggest hiding all the breakables. She has a tendency to get violent."
Lois laughed loudly, "Did you not hear me when I told you my plan was perfect? I took all forms of retaliation into consideration, and had Victor make both of those things impossible… even for you."
Chloe's head whipped around, "You can add Vic to that list," she snapped then turned back to beat on the door some more.
Oliver moved quickly from the bed and wrapped an arm around her waist. He lifted her off the ground and threw her over his shoulder, "OLIVER QUEEN, PUT ME DOWN!" She beat her hands against his back. He carried her to the foot of the bed and sat her down. He placed his hands on her shoulders, "will you just sit here, relax for a second, and let me handle Lois for a minute."
"Good luck with that," she crossed her legs and leaned back on her hands, "she's completely irrational!"
Oliver raised his eyebrows and stared at her silently.
"Don't give me that look! I'm not the crazy one she is!" She shrieked pointing in the direction of the door.
Oliver leaned forward and placed a hand to her cheek, "Sidekick you just threatened to and I quote, 'obliterate her entire virtual existence' I think it's safe to say you passed irrational as soon as she showed up."
Oliver stood back up and walked to the door, "Lois, I know this may be hard for you to grasp, but there are some things you can't control and this is one of them. Chloe and I will figure this whole thing out when we're ready."
"Sorry Ollie, but the two of you have had plenty of time to do this on your own, and you haven't. I'm your friend and I won't let the two of you ruin what you two are to each other by ignoring what's really going on… There you are, it's about time."
Chloe jumped from the bed and moved back to right in front of the door, "Lois who's out there with you?"
"It's just me Chloe," Clark answered softly.
"When I get out of here, you're second on my list."
"Hey this was Lois's idea… what it was."
"That may be the case, but I expect this from her. You're supposed to be the one to talk her out of these crazy schemes not help her with them. I just can't believe you let her talk you into…" Chloe inhaled deeply, "Is that COFFEE!"
Oliver shook his head, "one step too far Lo."
"Desperate times call for desperate measures Queen." she explained, "now, all you have to do is have the talk once and for all and we'll let you out… mmm this is really good. I had Clark pick it up from that place you love. You know the one I'm talking about don't you Chlo? It's the one with the…" There was the sound of a paper bag rustling, "blueberry muffins that you once said were the closest thing to Mama Kent's that you ever tasted."
Chloe twirled back around and leaned against the door delivering a firm kick to it with the heel of her foot. This entire thing had gone too far, and of course there was a part of her that knew Lois was right, the two of them ignoring the situation would no doubt lead to issues between them, but what if when they finally had the necessary conversation Oliver confirmed her fears and made it known that he had no desire to place any kind of title to whatever they were doing. Just the thought of that had her ready to be the one to say it first. To look him right in the eyes and declare that she didn't want anything to change, that things were perfect for her the way they were, or possibly even put an end to everything before things got even more complicated and most importantly before he got the chance to. She squeezed her eyes shut and leaned her head back against the door causing a small thud to echo through the room.
There had to be a way out of this. A way for them to get out of this damn room without rocking the boat of their string free relationship and sending them both plummeting into a sea of uncertainty and uncomfortable future meetings… there had to be. Suddenly a thought occurred to her one so obvious she was surprised she hadn't thought about it before. They had been doing it for months after all, hell their lives as a whole depended on their ability to do it.
She crossed the room and sat down beside him, "you know what we could do?" she asked leaning closer to him and speaking in a soft whisper.
"Exactly what we've been doing these last few months… lie. If we tell them that we had the talk, and that everything's worked out… maybe we can get Lois to finally let us out of here."
Oliver shook his head at her idea and frowned, "wow."
"What?" she eyed him nervously trying to read in expression.
"You really have no desire to try and figure what's going on between us out do you?"
Chloe opened and closed her mouth several times unsure of how to respond to him. "I just… I don't wanna force you into something Oliver, and Lois pulling this little stunt of hers does just that. I know where we stand."
Oliver let out a humorless chuckle, "really, and where is that?"
"We're friends," she answered with a shrug, "friends… with benefits?"
Oliver shook his head, "right, let me ask you a question Chloe. When's the last time you saw me drink coffee?"
She stared at him blankly, confused by what exactly he was trying to get at.
He watched her for a moment waiting for an answer that didn't come, "the answer is I don't drink coffee, but if you go in my kitchen right now you'll find half a dozen different kinds, your favorites depending on your mood, and a brand new coffee machine." Oliver stood from the bed and began to pace the floor in front of her. This was not the way he wanted to end up discussing things with her, but after everything that had happened the past few days, after the things that the guys had pointed out to him the day of her 'date', and his reaction to seeing that childhood friend of hers try and kiss her it was obvious to him that they weren't just in some string less relationship anymore, maybe they never had been, "and the robe… how many women do you think have had their own robes here?"
He finally stopped moving and looked up at her and locked his eyes with hers. She smiled at him and Oliver closed the distance between them. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her body to his then leaned down and rested his forehead against hers. "I think it's safe to say that this thing with us hasn't ever really been a no strings kind of arrangement… at least it hasn't been for me. What about you?"
Chloe nibbled nervously on her lower lip and shook her head.
"So why do you keep fighting it?"
Chloe looked up into his eyes and saw all his confusion and uncertainty in them.
"I don't know," she admitted softly, "maybe because I don't see how this could ever really work out with us… I mean you're you and I'm me, and the two of us just aren't good at this kind of thing."
"Say's who?"
Chloe shrugged halfheartedly, "I think our pasts speak for themselves Ollie."
Oliver ran his hands over her shoulders and cupped the sides of her face and pulled her back to look square in her eyes, "did you ever think that all those old relationships never played out right because we were with the wrong people?" He leaned in and kissed her gently, a simple whisper of a kiss. "Chloe, I can't look you in the eyes and swear that defining what this is will make everything between us perfect, hell I know it won't. We're both have way to many issues and are too stubborn and set in our ways to have everything work out that way, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that there is no one I wanna be with more, no one else who makes me wanna give an actual relationship a try. And no one I can ever see it actually working out with more then you."
Chloe leaned up and kissed him again then turned away and found a pen sitting on the table. She grabbed the small post it from earlier and scribbled their answer on it.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend - Happy now!
Oliver stared down at the paper and smirked. "boyfriend/girlfriend huh? Sounds a little high school if you ask me."
She playfully jabbed him in the arm with the pen before slipping the paper halfway under the door. They both watched as it was practically sucked the rest of the way through and waited for the reaction on the other side of the door, they didn't have to wait long. Lois let out an excited squeal.
"Alright, you can open it up now." She called out.
Within seconds the door was pulled from its hinges and Chloe and Oliver came face to face with a triumph looking Lois and a sheepish looking Clark. Chloe narrowed her gaze at them and Lois's smile wavered slightly. She held up the bag and the coffee as a peace offering which Chloe quickly snatched from her but continued to glare.
She stormed past the pair and down the hall toward the spiral staircase. Oliver bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing at the suddenly scared expressions of his two friends before stepping past them without saying a word.
As he moved into the living room he sat down beside her on the couch and they both watched as Lois and Clark made their way to the elevator. They both stepped on but before the doors closed Lois couldn't hold back she reached up and held the doors open, "no need to thank me guys… the looks on your faces is all the gratitude I need."
Chloe glared at her again and Clark nervously cleared his throat and pulled Lois the rest of the way inside. As soon as they were out of sight Chloe turned to Oliver and grinned.
"Still mad, I see."
Chloe shrugged, "not really," she admitted with a smirk, "but no matter how much she pretends not to be right now Lois is gonna spend the next few weeks terrified that I'm trying to find a way to get past whatever defenses she had Victor take care of, so that's enough payback for me."
Oliver smiled at her, "and what about Clark?"
"Are you kidding, he has to be the one to deal with all her paranoia over the next few weeks, I'd say that's punishment enough… They'll torture themselves and I won't have to dirty my hands one little bit." She smiled evilly at him.
"Remind me never to piss you off," Oliver said with a small chuckle. He watched as Chloe downed the remaining coffee in her cup and grinned at her. "Done already?"
Chloe nodded as he grabbed the cup from her and placed it on the coffee table, "good," He leaned forward and kissed her firmly. Inching forward and pushing her until her back was flat against the seat cushions.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a small smirk.
"Making out with my girlfriend on the couch," he answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Making out with your girlfriend on the couch," she repeated, "I don't know about you but that sound kinda high school to me."

Which is the best way — or should we say, best way for your unique background and learning style?
Which CPA Exam Preparation Course is Best for Your Learning Style?
1. Self Study
If you are knowledgeable in financial accounting and audit procedure, and you are a very, very disciplined person, you can try the self-study route.
However, CPA is not just a test on accounting knowledge — you'll need to know how to tackle multiple choice questions and be familiar with the simulation questions.
If you aren't sure whether you are good at both knowledge and tactics, you can test yourself by doing sample CPA questions in "free sites" such as CPA Review For Free.
If you can consistently score 70+, congratulations — you are all set. All you need to do is to get a Wiley CPA book and test bank (known for very comprehensive questions) and complete the practice tests to make sure you are well covered. Gleim is also a great choice for trickier, out-of-the-blue questions.
2. Online Courses
Most people fall into this category — they need a guided CPA exam preparation course to walk through the topics for the CPA examination. If you are busy and can't commit to CPA exam study on a full-time basis, I'll recommend you go for this route.
Why? Because the guided course can make sure you finish studying all the exam materials in a specific time, even if you are at times distracted by your full-time job or your family.
Also, statistics have shown that those taking the review courses have a much higher passing rate (generally 85%+ vs <50% for overall candidates).
You can look at my comparison on the CPA exam review courses here, or go straight to my recommended home study CPA Review.
3. Live Classes
Learning in a classroom setting was once popular among CPA exam candidates, but it is less and less common with the proliferation and success of online courses. Roger has stopped giving live lectures a few years ago, and NIU CPA Review closed its doors in September 2015. Becker still runs classes in selected cities but I personally am not a fan of those 3-4 hour teaching sessions.

Todd Lipcon has uploaded a new change for review. http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/3456
Change subject: Fix stray memory writes due to tcmalloc profiling ...................................................................... Fix stray memory writes due to tcmalloc profiling This fixes an issue that has been causing frequent crashes in JD.com's production cluster as well as various Cloudera test clusters. The crashes would be in various different places, but the key signature was that offset 120 in some data structure or array (eg the 16th element of a vector) would be corrupted. After doing a git bisect using an integration testing cluster running an ITBLL workload, I found that this was a regression caused by the introduction of tcmalloc contention profiling[1]. The short explanation is that, if we experienced contention while freeing a Trace object, we could in some cases increment offset 120 of some other allocation which occurred soon after the deallocation of the Trace. The issue is described in more detail in a new comment in trace.h. With this patch, I was unable to reproduce the issue on the test cluster. No new test is added since this is quite timing-dependent and not amenable to unit testing or even stress testing.

Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread III: "Hemsky Off The Market" - MacT Presser

One more year of development under Eakins might be the good medicine going down. Instead, we have a 3rd line Hemsky making 5 million/yr. MacT might be a fine spin doctor but with this, he put the "F U" in SNAFU.
I agree with this. The whole press conf. thingy was to spin Hemsky not being traded. And although Hemmer is saying all of the rehearsed right things...playing different role, help the kids, yada yada yada. But when the reality of playing in his new limited minute role with little to no PP time arrives I think his level of commitment will be tested. The only thing transparent was the lame attempt to pass off poor asset mgmt. I however didn't mind the PRV for Perron trade but it should have hinged on Hemsky being moved.

(Listen) <— ahahahaha. 😡
So my dear friend Rogue Falconer (owner & creator of *RoTtEn DeFiAnCe*) single-handedly organized an amazing hunt. This year kicks off the first annual 'A Very Rotten Christmas' Hunt, and I am so very proud and inspired by her for doing this! I was added to the bloggers group, where we bloggers were able to get items ahead of time in order to show everyone what exactly they can look forward to, but in my appreciation of hunts (and of Rogue for putting this all together,) I waited until today and did the hunt from start to finish! SO EXCITED. I have SO MUCH TO SHOW YOU! Be advised, this is a very, very picture-heavy post, but I really wanted to show you a slew of the items in here. BRACE YOURSELVES!
So firstly, the stores that participated (and unfortunately, a few dropped out at the last second – you store owners know who you are, and I have to say I'm really disappointed. if Aikea from Plastik can join this hunt after the tragedy that just occurred for her, I really don't see any reason why anyone else could POSSIBLY justify dropping the day before/day of this hunt- and don't give me any BS; I've owned stores before I know how it goes, and I have friends in this hunt who were all under a lot of other pressure for RL & SL projects and they still managed.— yeah that's right, I'm calling you out) are all amazing, and I'm going to list them here for you before I show the items. Don't forget, all information in regards to the hunt can be found at Rogue's hunt blog.
Rotten Defiance ;; Skin Deep/Little Pricks ;; Avante Poses ;; Rasetsukoku ;; Sakide ;; ni.Ju ;; Repulse ;; Jabberwocky ;; JD Design ;; Contraption ;; The Plastik ;; House of Usher ;; Spirit Store ;; Damned ;; Favole ;; Diesel Works ;; Gehenna ;; KristicA ;; NV ;; Ey:No ;; Hysteria ;; Sourires ;; Fiction and Chaos ;; Blah ;; Eternal Darkness ;; HoD ;; American Bazaar ;; Nightshade ;; Anatomy ;; Nox ;; Koketka ;; Diamond ;; Furore ;; Scrub
Amazing list, right!? A nice short & sweet hunt full of tons of goodies for you. I tried to blog as many of them as I could without wanting to blow my head off (editing pictures is a very tedious process sometimes!), so I tried to show as many items as I could. Note: Any owners who read this blog, if I didn't blog your items, I'm sorry. But I can say with authority that every single item in this hunt is worth picking up. I am very impressed and pleased with EVERYTHING.
Onto the pics! Below each picture I will write down where everything is from that was in the hunt. At the end of the blog, I will give credits to things I was wearing that are NOT part of the hunt. I hope that makes sense for you all 🙂

Picture 1: Dress by SAKIDE, Shape by Anatomy Picture 2: Cut tattoo & Holly Leaves by Eternal Darkness Picture 3: Dress by Rotten Defiance, Suicidal Christmas Lights by Blah, Bloody Plugs by Nox, Piercings by ni.Ju
Among these other amazing gifts were assorted jewelry, poses, a house, textures, and all sorts of other things. As you can tell, the quality of this hunt is just jaw-dropping & the creators all did fabulously! All I can say is, you don't want to miss out. This hunt runs until December 31st so you have PLENTY of time to do it, but make sure you do before it's all gone! And for those of you who have stores and were unable to participate this year, make sure you get your applications ready for next year because you don't want to miss the chance to be a part of such an amazing hunt! Bravo to everyone who was able to get in this year, I am majorly impressed, and thank you!!
My own details for things that were not blogged:
Skins Used: Filthy – Maria – Tan & Lara Hurley – Emma – Pale
Hairs: Truth – Faith & D!va – Ema2
Shape: My own (obviously except where Anatomy is credited)
Other Accessories: Nails – Mstyle ;; Teeth – PXL ;; Shoes – Kookie ;; Feet – SLink ;; Lashes – Redgrave & Sorry.Asia ;; Eye Makeup – Nuuna
If I missed anything and you want to know where it's from feel free to leave a comment on my blog, flickr, or just IM me and i'll be happy to give it to you 🙂

Thanks guys! I'm surprised anyone got the CB4 reference. I have thrown a few molotov cocktails, and have met a few people worth stabbing. But I assure you my record is clean. Crystal Glass on 6th street fixed me up (and cheap) and now I'm all registered and plated in BC!
Now...on that note. I was just joking about telling you guys how to do things, but auto insurance, bros you're doing it wrong. After bumping up my deductibles a bit it's still $3600/yr! WTFMFBWISYF?! Even after I prove no claims for eight years and get the 40% off, that's still $700/yr more than what I was paying!
Ugh, now I'm thinking I really need a job. Now that's a depressing thought!
Gas, yes, too expensive. However there's no ethanol free 94 in Ontario.
Though I did take a pic of a gas station (don't laugh) in Calgary on the way over here. 88.9/L
First-second-third-nations? We're all just Kenyans who went for a walk one day and got a little lost.
Certainly only transplant car guys/girls can properly appreciate what a lack of road salt means! Halle-fraking-luja!
Well, I'll try and make a meet night, so be sure to tell all your female friends and relatives that I'm available. Tonight however I'm spoken for. And already mildly incapacitated!

Disclaimer: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I still don't own Supernatural or Harry Potter.
Warning: Slash, maybe a threesome, DWHP, SWHP, maybe some Castiel/Harry, at this point I haven't decided.
I probably shouldn't have started this but Unforeseen Circumstances is up to the epilogue part. No one has voted in my poll so that's the way its going to be. A three-shot prequel.
An angelface smiles to me
Under a headline of tragedy
That smile used to give me warmth
Farewell - no words to say
Beside the cross on your grave
And those forever burning candles
Needed elsewhere
To remind us of the shortness of our time
Tears laid for them
Tears of love tears of fear
Bury my dreams dig up my sorrows
Oh Lord why
The angels fall first
~ Nightwish
"Hello, Dean."
Dean blinked. This wasn't Tessa . . . or was it? "Tessa?" He said suspiciously.
The boy sitting on the bed turned to fully face Dean. Dean eyes widened slightly, the only show of his surprise. The boy was stunning, even Dean could admit that. He was wearing a simple T-shirt and tight jeans, but he wasn't wearing any shoes. A slim face with high, defined cheek bones. A small nose and full pink lips. The boy had obsidian black hair just brushing his jaw, but his most attractive features were his eyes. Long eyelashes framed large pools of emerald green, almost inhumanely bright.
The boy blinked and then smiled, taking Deans breath away, "I'm afraid she's been," he hesitated for a moment, as though searching for the right word. "Reassigned."
Dean blinked and then his eyes narrowed. Reassigned? "What did you do to her?" Dean wasn't really upset at her loss, but at least with her he had some experience. This kid was an unknown.
Again the boy smiled, "Don't worry, I just sent her away to work somewhere else," Then he tilted his head, like a curious puppy. "Are you actually worried about her?"
Dean snorted, "No!" Then he sobered, "So what are you here for?" He wished he had his gun. It probably wouldn't have helped, but the weight in his hand was comforting.
"I'm here to offer you a choice," the kid said, "You can move on into the afterlife. . ."
At this point Dean scoffed, give up without a fight? As if! He still had a brother to look after and a demon to kill.
The boy continued on, " . . . or I can stick you back in your body."
Dean choked on his next breath of air. "What!" he whispered, however the boy seemed to hear him.
He smiled softly, "It's not a joke or a lie, Dean," he said, "If you accept, I'll put your soul back in your body."
Dean was speechless, it sounded to good to be true . . .
"So what do you want from me?" Dean finally managed to speak, "No one does something like this for free."
The boy blinked, and then laughed sheepishly. Dean was distracted by the captivating sound before the kid spoke, "Actually I owe someone a favour." He fiddled with his fingers for a moment before looking through his fringe at Dean.
Dean was torn between laughing and hitting something, he could be healed and go on with life, but he didn't know anything about this kid or what he wanted.
Suddenly the boy's head shot up, complete shock in his eyes. "No," he whispered, "No, you idiot!"
Dean looked at him, shocked, "What? What is it?"
"Someone is summoning a demon . . . in the hospital!" The boy was on his feet now pacing.
It hit Dean then, the only one who could've summoned a demon . . Dad! He closed his eyes, of course his Dad would want to try and kill the demon now, while Dean was almost dying.
Dean opened his eyes and jumped slightly. The boy was inches away from him, eyes panicked, "You need to make a decision now, Dean!"
Dean froze for a second, before blurting out, "back in my body!"
The boy smiled, showing white, perfect teeth, "good choice."
Dean had no warning before the boy leaned forward and kissed him. Dean didn't move, freaked out. This was what that cross road demon had done to seal the deal.
But before he could push the boy off, he felt something. His body was getting lighter . . . weaker. He felt like he was being blown away.
The boy pulled back and smiled before saying, "See you on the other side, Dean."
The bright green eyes were the last thing Dean saw before the darkness claimed him.
And that's a wrap people.
I do have a plan with this story, I promise. Although in the first stages Harry was going to be an OMC and this wasn't going to be a crossover. But then the OMC I had created was much to powerful given how he was created, so I went with my next choice and made this into a crossover.
I will explain things though, just later.

Low-calorie high electrolyte effervescent tablet to hydrate during training or racing:
- Simply drop in water to give a high electrolyte drink
- High in sodium to help promote hydration
- When hydration is required without the added calories
About SiS GO Hydro
SiS GO Hydro represents a cutting edge and scientifically based formulation that is designed to ensure you are effectively hydrated to produce your best performance. As an effervescent tablet that readily dissolves in plain water, it represents a highly practical approach (simply drop one tablet in your 500 ml water bottle) to ensure that all of your electrolyte and fluid requirements are met in its most simple format. SiS GO Hydro is a practical strategy to ensure hydration without the calories.
Why should I take SiS GO Hydro?
During moderate to intense exercise, we may produce 1-2 litres (L) of sweat (that contains both fluid and important electrolytes) per hour depending on the exact environmental conditions. If such fluid losses are not replaced at an appropriate rate, dehydration occurs and performance can be impaired. In a dehydrated state, our body temperature rises, our heart rate increases, we deplete carbohydrate stores quicker and we perceive the exercise to be more intense. In essence, we have to work so much harder just to perform at the same speed or power output and thus, dehydration is considered a major cause of fatigue. In the context of maintaining hydration status, sodium is the most important electrolyte as it helps to stimulate thirst, improve fluid palatability and promote fluid absorption and retention. SiS GO Hydro meets your sodium requirements in an appropriate amount (0.7 grams per L) and concentration (30 mmol/L) that is scientifically proven to produce superior hydration compared with plain water.
Recommended Usage
To ensure hydration prior to training or racing, consume at least 500 ml of GO Hydro approximately 3-4 hours prior to your event with a further 250-500 ml at 2 hours prior to starting. During exercise itself, traditional guidelines advise a drinking strategy that prevents dehydration equating to > 2% loss in body mass. In practice, such a drinking strategy usually equates to 500 ml per hour and depending on the environmental conditions, your thirst will likely determine if your body requires more. If aiming to combine hydration and energy delivery, SiS GO Energy could be combined with the SiS GO Gels and GO Bar range to ensure both adequate carbohydrate and fluid delivery during exercise.

The situation surrounding Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jarius Wright this offseason is one that has left a lot of people scratching their heads.
He has been one of the most consistent offensive players since Mike Zimmer took over as the team's head coach in 2014, but his reps have seemed to decrease this offseason. He was working with the second-team offense during training camp, before he got hurt, while Adam Thielen was the No. 3 wide receiver in the first-team offense.
That is the spot that Wright has held the past couple of seasons, but he was usually limited to the role of slot receiver because of his 5-foot-10, 191-pound frame. Thielen, who's 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, offers the offense a little more flexibility because he can lineup both on the outside and in the slot.
Zimmer said not to read too much into the early rotation in training camp, but it may be reaching a point where it makes sense to make some judgments. Thielen has been working with the first-team offense all offseason and has been making plays in games when he gets the opportunity, while Wright has been working with the second- and sometimes third-team offense, even when he is healthy.
But Wright isn't worried. He knows he has consistently shown what he is capable of doing and believes he will get his chances.
"I know what type of player I am and I know I can make plays in this league," he said.
"I'm just going to remain to be the same guy I've always been and anytime I have a chance I'm going to make a play."
Wright was forced to miss the Vikings' first two preseason games because of an injury, but he was finally able to return for their third game, which was their first home game at their new stadium. He was only on the field for 16 offensive snaps, all of which came with the backups.
He still did his best to take advantage of the opportunity, though, recording one catch for 26 yards.
"It was good just to get a chance just to get out there and get into the groove," he said. "Just get out there with my teammates and play a little real football.
"Run some routes against somebody else besides your teammates, and get a catch too."
Wright appeared to be a full participant all of last week during practice, so his limited snaps likely aren't due to the coaches trying to ease him back into the lineup. What's more likely is that the coaches already know what they have in Wright and want to be able to get a look at some of their other receivers.
Laquon Treadwell, Stefon Diggs, Charles Johnson, Cordarrelle Patterson and Thielen all received more playing time than Wright did during Sunday's game. And Wright was the only receiver in that grouping that did not receive any playing time with the first-team offense.
Diggs and Johnson are expected to be the two starters at this point, so it makes sense that they would get plenty of snaps with the first-team offense. It also makes sense for Treadwell, Patterson and Thielen because they are still young, somewhat unproven players and the coaching staff could just be trying to see what they have in them.
Wright is currently in a difficult place, having to play behind all of them, despite the success he has had in the NFL. The coaches also haven't discussed what they envision his role being this season, so all he can do is work hard and just keep playing his game.
It's possible that things go back to the way they were once the regular season starts and the games start to matter. We will start to see if that's the case or not as the Vikings next Monday will begin preparing for their first regular season game on Sept. 11.
However, if the preseason is an indication of things to come, Wright shouldn't get his hopes up about being the regular No. 3 receiver in the offense this season.null

Disclaimer: It all belongs to JKR. I'm just borrowing her toys and playing with them.
A/N: Many thanks to the wonderful women who made this story possible. To Shug (sshg316) for sitting down with me and hashing the story out and telling me to just write the damn thing. To DeeMichelle for coming on board at the last minute (and for her all-around badass beta skills). To Camillo for her Brit-picking and patience with the questions that inevitably resulted. And last but certainly not least, to averygoodun for writing such a provocative prompt and for giving me the freedom to take it in any direction.
"When I was a little girl, I just wanted the fairy tale, you know?"
Hermione rubbed Ginny's back and gazed out at the city from her perch on a bench on Primrose Hill. The view of the London skyline was beautiful.
"Things will turn out all right," Hermione repeated. "So what if he's not Prince Charming? No one is. You've got to take these guys off their white horses, Gin. They're human beings. Bound to fail. That's not necessarily a bad thing. No one can live up to fairy tale expectations."
Ginny sniffled and blew her nose into her handkerchief. "I thought Dean could."
Hermione put her arm around Ginny. "The view is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Not exactly subtle, but thanks for the distraction," Ginny said. "This park is great! Thanks for bringing me here. And lunch was good."
"Marks and Sparks is always good for comfort food."
Ginny sighed and wiped her nose. "It's nice to be able to cry in public."
"Nobody knows Weasley hair in Muggle London," Hermione said. "Here, they just think you're a foxy ginger."
Ginny giggled. "Oh, I needed that," she said, calming down. "I suppose we'd better get back to work."
"I don't have to get back to work right away—" Hermione started.
"But you will. Even as a consultant you can't help keeping to an eight-to-four schedule. I would Iso/I not do that if I were in your shoes." A breeze gusted in, and Ginny bent forward and slid her arms into her jacket.
Hermione wrapped her shawl around her shoulders. "I like the freedom in consulting. I keep regular hours, but I choose my own projects."
"If not your research partner." Ginny grinned and winked.
Hermione was less than amused. She let out an exasperated sigh. "I don't know why they put us together. We drive each other mad."
"But the results are spectacular," Ginny said. "We hear about them in the Wizengamot. Once people got past the shock that Snape was actually willing to work with a former student, they were able to concentrate on the amazing work you were doing. It's been … what, a year now?"
"A year since they started putting us together on every project? Yes. To be fair, we always wanted the same assignments. Except right now—we're working on solo projects. But I still ask him for his opinion. I'm so used to working with him every day that I can't help but ask." Hermione noted Ginny's expression. "It's not like that. You know it's not like that. He's an incredible researcher. Wickedly smart. I have to remember that when he's being his infuriating self."
Ginny snorted. "So long as his personality doesn't start rubbing off on you. Or his fashion sense."
Hermione looked down at her black-and-white outfit. "This is professional."
"You haven't worn color in I can't remember how long—" Ginny started.
"This conversation is over." Hermione reached for her purse, a smile on her face. "Shall we?"
Ginny took Hermione's arm as they started to walk down the hill. "Diagon Alley, here we come. Maybe we can grab a drink before—"
"I am not drinking during my lunch break," Hermione said firmly. Ginny laughed.
Two hours later, Hermione was power-walking down a Ministry hallway, her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor. She rushed past other employees only to stop suddenly in front of a mahogany office door.
"Snape!" She banged on the door, ignoring the frightened look of employees passing by. "I know you're in there. Let me in!"
She shoved the door open so hard it banged into the wall. She immediately looked at the sullen man behind the desk. His hair fell in jetty, oily strands against his shoulders, standing in stark contrast to the crisp white shirt. She knew he was wearing black trousers, and she immediately regretted their matching wardrobes. Ginny was right.
Severus hadn't flinched, but he did look rather annoyed. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "It's early, Granger."
"It's two o'clock in the afternoon." She paused. "Late night?"
He waved her forward.
Hermione smiled at him ruefully. "What—no flask to tide you over?"
He folded his arms across his chest and glared. She met his stare straight on.
"Right, well." Hermione dropped the inch-thick folder on his desk and dragged the heavy chair around so that she could sit next to him.
Severus pulled the file toward him and flipped it open. "What exactly should I be seeing?"
"Grids," she gritted through her teeth as she moved the chair. "What is this chair made of? Adamantium?"
Snape ignored her. "What should these grids be telling me?"
Hermione grunted as she sank into the chair. "There's text," she said.
"I need bi-focals."
"You had a corrective—"
"Simplify it for me," he said, tapping his fingers impatiently. "Now."
She breathed in through her nose.
"Subtlety, Granger. Subtlety if at all possible."
Ignoring the fact that it was the second time she had been told that in one afternoon, she sat down in the chair, reached for the files, and pulled them closer to her, ignoring his sullen posture.
"These maps show the geographic locations that have high concentrations of magic. Basically, magical communities. London, Paris, Moscow, and Athens have the highest concentration of magical activity in all of Europe. There are a few other clusters around cities or sights of historical importance." She turned the page. "And this grid attempts to identify the locations that influence the public attitude of magical communities."
She studied his face as he drew the map side-by-side. His brow furrowed. "They don't match."
"Exactly," she said. "What I hoped to find was that the sights of influence would match the magical communities, but there are a few influential locations which do not register—at all—on the magical communities map."
Severus turned to Hermione. "Have you ever seen X-Men? You're rather like Dr. Xavier."
"Pardon?" she asked, eyes widening in surprise.
He looked back at the grid. "Never mind."
"Were … were you offering personal information just now?" she asked, attempting to suppress a grin.
Severus gave her what she had come to call his professor glare. "So the sights that don't match, Granger—what's your diagnosis?"
She raised her eyebrows. "Well, I'm worried!"
He gave her a chastising smile. "Why?"
"You don't see the dangers?" she asked, gesturing towards the grids.
He waved his hand. "Your influence grid, if I may call it that, does not register whether the sights of influence are inducing negative or positive emotions in the magical communities. For example, those sights could be considered holy to certain faiths—"
"Are you honestly going down that road?"
"I'm just saying to take a step back and think about the various types of influence that are exerted on witches and wizards every day, and the way in which they differ in the type of activity they inspire. For example, a romantic advertisement may inspire a husband to buy flowers for his wife, whereas the latest song by the Weird Sisters may inspire a wife to hire a private investigator. There are very, very different types of influence, Granger. I suggest you get a better map before showing it to anyone."
"I already showed it to an Unspeakable, and he thought it should be given critical attention right away."
Hermione glanced at him sharply. "Don't. He's a good man."
"I still can't believe they recruited him as an Unspeakable." Severus swore under his breath. "Was my generation the last to learn common sense at Hogwarts?"
Hermione ignored him. "Look, I can try to quantify the types of influence, if you like," she offered. "It'll be damned near impossible, but I'll try. For you, I'll try."
He snorted. "How generous."
"It's just that I'm worried about one spot in particular," she continued.
Severus lifted his chin, interested. "Which one?"
"Well, more than one. These." She pointed to several dots. "They're emanating from France, and they hold a powerful influence on citizens in every single magical community in Europe. In some cases, they have more influence than the ministries."
Severus leaned back in his chair, unperturbed. "And you're worried because…?"
She sighed. "I don't trust anything that holds that kind of power. Whatever it is, it can't be good."
He paused and licked his lips. "What if it is?"
Hermione did a double take. "Come again?" she asked.
"What if those spots are exerting a positive influence?"
She folded her arms across her chest. "Who are you and what have you done with my consulting partner?"
"I'm not your partner on this project," he clarified. "No matter. I'll be sure the appropriate people are on my side."
She chuffed. "So now you're claiming that you're better with people than I am?"
"Just better at scaring them. On the whole, you're far more pleasant to interact with."
Hermione threw her pen at him, grabbed the file, and started toward the door.
"Aggravated assault?" she heard him say behind her. She whipped around to see him grinning behind his desk.
"I'd be doing wizarding Britain a favor," she said.
She slammed his door shut and let out a loud groan just as Arthur Weasley was walking past. He approached her with a wide smile.
"Trouble in paradise?" he asked.
"I don't know why I ask his advice, Arthur. That man makes me hopping mad!" she exclaimed.
Arthur patted her shoulder. "I don't know that I've ever seen you so flustered in public. Might want to tone it down a little," he said.
"You're retiring and yet still giving advice," she said with a chuckle.
"What kind of ministerial advisor would I be if I didn't?" he asked, nodding to other employees as they passed by. "I'll see you tonight?"
"I wouldn't miss your party for the world." Hermione grinned.
The grandfather clock in the hall started to chime, and Arthur checked his watch. "I'm late," he announced. "See you this evening, dear."
"Goodbye, Arthur," Hermione said. She walked down the hallway, already counting down the hours to the private retirement party. And, of course, the deliciously spiked punch that George would be sure to supply.
Hermione Apparated onto the lawn around five o'clock. She smiled as she walked toward the house; the lights illuminated it against the setting sun, and the raucous noise coming from within told her that the whole family must have arrived by now. There would only be a few non-familial guests; the retirement party at the Ministry had satisfied that need.
She knocked on the door and was met by Headmistress McGonagall.
"Hermione," the older woman said warmly, beckoning her into the kitchen. "It's good to see you."
"You, too, Minerva." Hermione embraced her mentor. "Looks like I'm a little bit late."
"Fashionably, as it were," Minerva said, smiling as Ginny threw her arms around Hermione's neck.
"Ginny, where did you put the cinnamon?" Molly's voice boomed through the kitchen.
"Hi, Molly," Hermione called.
"Oh, Hermione," Molly said, sticking her head out from the cupboard. "So good to see you, dear. Would you be a love and lend Ginny to me for a second?"
"Coming, Mum," Ginny said, rolling her eyes.
"So who is here and where is George's punch?" Hermione asked her mentor.
"Difficult day?" Minerva arched an eyebrow.
"Snape," Hermione said, her lips pulled into a thin smile.
"Speak of the devil," a low voice came up behind them. Hermione turned around, whipping her hair in Snape's face.
"You," she said.
"Punch?" he asked, holding out two glasses.
"You're a gentleman when it suits you," Minerva said. "Thank you, dear boy."
Hermione snorted. Snape glared.
"You can't intimidate me anymore, Snape. I've worked with you." Hermione took such a large gulp of punch she almost choked.
"I thought you might need a drink before sitting down to dinner with … the clan." Snape paused. "If you'll excuse me."
"How dare he walk away?" Hermione asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"He marches to his own drum." Minerva waved her hand. "Never mind his antics. This is exceptional, though." She admired the glass. "Ah, I know where I've had this before."
"The last Weasley celebration?" Hermione asked.
"Hogwarts staff party. Snape brought his own brew tonight. And thank Circe, because George's punch has been lacking since the twins were born." Minerva smiled. "Cheers to you, darling."
"Cheers to Arthur." They clinked glasses.
Dinner was a smooth affair, if a loud one. Kingsley gave a moving toast that was punctured by the squalling cries of Fred and Roxanne Weasley. Snape's grimaces were entertaining to watch. Hermione had situated herself between Minerva and Ginny at the children's table, where they listened to Molly and Angelina swap tales of motherhood. Every once in a while, Hermione glanced over to the other table, where Arthur, Kingsley, Snape, and the Weasley brothers were sharing laughs over something that was sure to be more interesting than nappies. They all were smiling, Snape included. Even Ron's presence at the table didn't seem to bother him.
"Stop staring," Ginny whispered at one point. "Mum will notice."
Hermione turned her attention back to the table and ignored the flush creeping up her chest. "Where's Fleur this evening?" she asked.
"Away on business," Bill said. They all looked up as he strode into the kitchen to put his plates in the sink, an action that earned him a glowing smile from his mother. "She'll be here in an hour or two. In the meantime, would Victoire like to read a story?"
"Yes!" the four-year-old said, waving her hands in the air.
"She can read?" Hermione asked, surprised.
"For six months now. She's smart as a whip, my baby." Bill kissed her forehead. "Uncle Ron wants to read you a story."
Victoire clapped her hands together. "Uncle Ron, Uncle Ron!" she said, perfectly articulating his name.
"Bless that child," Minerva said as they left the kitchen. "She's going to give some poor boy hell one day."
The women laughed.
A half hour later, Hermione stood in the doorway between the dining room and sitting room, watching Ron read a story to Victoire. He really is good with kids, she thought. She was still surprised that he didn't have a family of his own by now. They'd decided to call things off five years ago or so, after she'd taken the consulting job with the Ministry. Simply put, Ron wanted a family. She didn't.
Not yet, anyway. She glanced around the room. Kingsley had been called away on Ministry business, and George and Angelina had packed up the twins and headed out for the night. Minerva was having a cup of tea with Molly and Ginny, and Arthur was with his older sons on the back porch enjoying a pipe. And Snape …
"Enjoying yourself?"
She jumped. "Snape." She put her hand over her heart. "Why are you always creeping up on people?"
He chuckled and leaned against the other side of the doorframe.
"You're not going to answer, are you?" she asked. He smiled. "Well, at least you seem to be in a jovial mood."
"Jovial, no. Pleasant … perhaps."
"Arthur seems happy," Hermione said, keeping her eyes on Ron and Victoire. "Some people, when they retire—it's like they're being forced out. They don't have anything else to go to."
"Arthur doesn't have that problem," Snape said. "He's got more grandchildren than he knows what to do with."
Hermione laughed. "He only has—"
"See? You have to count."
"Three were here tonight … Fleur is pregnant … who am I missing? Percy! Percy and his wife weren't here," Hermione said. "And they have two little ones."
"I didn't figure you for the mothering type."
She shrugged. "Not really. I like kids, but it's more the idea of …" She cut herself off and stared at the floor.
"Hermione—" Severus started, but he paused. She looked up at him, surprised.
"You said my name," she said. He didn't respond; he just looked at her. In the background, she heard Victoire's high-pitched voice reading, "Once upon a time …"
They stood there, barely a foot apart, looking at each other. Hermione jumped when she heard Minerva call for her from the kitchen.
She swallowed and met his gaze. "I—"
"Go," he said softly.
Their arms brushed as she walked past him. She shivered and willed herself not to turn around. When she walked into the kitchen, the conversation stopped. "What?" she asked.
Ginny's eyes were wide. "You're flushed. Blushing like crazy."
"What?" Hermione whipped around and looked at herself in the hallway mirror. "Oh, shit."
"Who were you talking to?" Minerva asked, though Hermione knew that Minerva knew exactly who she had been with.
She noticed Molly's curious glance, and she tried to silently communicate not here to Ginny when they heard Ron scream.
Hermione's eyes widened, and the four women bolted into the sitting room, where they found Ron sitting with Victoire on his lap, her face buried in his chest—and a very dead Snape lying on the floor.

Bond Spa (or Saboon Spa) in Kuala Lumpur
Saboon Spa has changed name to Bond Spa in October 2015th. Even though there is a name change you will still see Bond Spa name throughout the premise. Everything else is the same regarding service and prices.
The video below shows you the quickest way to get to Bond Spa. All you have to do is get to the front entrance of Berjaya Times Square Mall which is super easy to find. Follow my same steps and you can get there on foot in 6 minutes. Bond Spa is on the 3rd floor.
A lot of local Malay men will tell you that Bond Spa is the best place to relax and find prostitutes from all over southeast Asia and China.
And they actually do provide full spa services. As a Bond Spa customer you will have full access to sauna, steam room, hot and cold pools. You can also make use of their sleeping capsules overnight. Or if you simply want to get back to your hotel within the Bukit Bintang area Bond also provide complimentary car service. But that's not all.
Plus there is an extensive food menu with local Malay and Chinese delicacy. It's all you can eat and once you sit down the friendly waiters or captains encourage guests to order drinks and food. There are televisions showing sports and newspapers to read plus even a room with computers for internet access.
So here's what it's like when you enter Bond Spa. You get in, you will be greeted by staff at the reception area. Don't be shy. There are women working at the front desk and even though they know you're a pervert they aren't there to judge you.
If you want to only pick out a girl for sex only, you have to tell them up front. Just tell them you want to see the ladies. A captain will then help you out. They will lead you out to the cafe area where the ladies are normally paraded around to show you what girls are available. Once you've picked out your lady the lady will take you to a private room for the 1 shot 45 minute sex session which cost about RM 198. Remember you pay up front if you're only there to have sex with the ladies and don't want to use the sauna facilities.
If you want to go enjoy the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, food and drinks from cafe, followed by time with a 45 minute 1 shot alone time with hooker then say you want the full package and you want to use the sauna first. Bond Spas full package cost RM 238. You pay this amount plus the price of any ladies you've screwed when you check out and leave.
You can get traditional massage as well as spa services like facials and body scrubs at an extra cost. If are interested in those services you can find a price menu in the cafe. The cost for these extra treatments will also be paid when you check out.
For the full spa package you have a choice of leaving your valuables in a deposit box where they will hand you the keys. I normally don't leave my things in the deposit box as the locker rooms in my opinion is quite safe and secure already. Magnetic Locker Key and Safety Deposit Key - I wear the both of these during my entire stay.
Then you get an electronic locker key which also has the number of the locker. The number on your locker key is the same number the captains use to keep track of how many ladies you choose so you can be charged accordingly.
You will then be lead to your locker by an attendant where you can store your clothes and change into shorts and towels.To open your locker, you will need your electronic locker key and also the attendants. After you're all changed and ready the attendant will show you the way to the elevator where you have access to all of the facilities.
One thing I have to mention is that the G floor sauna and jacuzzi sections doesn't look particularly so clean. It might be the gray interior and the facility is kind of old. Except for the sauna room which I think was recently renovated from the time I went there a few years ago.
The jacuzzi waters looked clean though but the showers look a little bit scary. I recommend wearing your provided slippers even when you're showering. Who knows who just took a piss on the shower floor?
You can shower afterwards and from there change into some shorts and shirts provided. If you can't find your size, you can ask the attendants to get you set up. From here, there are disposable tooth brushes, shaving razors and even hair gel to get yourself all pretty.
Once you're all dried and primped you can head up to the 4th floor cafe area. In all of these types of health club establishments with hookers, customers usually pick out the hookers in the cafe area.
I say usually because you can also ask the captain to take you to the rooms where the girls are waiting. But usually, customers will be sitting down in the cafe area and if they want to see the ladies a captain will call the ladies to come down so they can take a look.
While at the cafe you can pick any chair at a table you want. I usually pick a seat in a quiet area. Once you've seated a waiter will come to take your order. You can choose to eat as many as you want, read a newspaper, have a smoke, snooze on the reclining chairs, whatever. The captains don't rush you and you can always take your time and relax. That's what I love about these places! Hell, you can even head back up for another round in the sauna room. You can pretty much do whatever you want in whatever order you choose.
When you're good and ready you can ask to see the ladies available. In Bond Spa you have a choice of China girls, Thai, Vietnam and even a Malay ladies. Chinese girls make up the bulk of their line up which is true of every health spas in KL. Most of the ladies arrive around 8pm though but from my experience you can still find a good selection anywhere from late afternoon to early evening.
Now if you're the kind of guy that can go 2, 3 or more rounds, Bond Spa's pricing structure is quite easy. The base price for spa and time with 1 hooker is RM 238. So let's say you've just had sex with your first hooker and you decide head back to the sauna again.
And you feel like you're up for choosing another girl. All you have to do is pay RM 198 for each additional lady.
When you're good and ready to leave you head back down to the locker room and tell the attendant you want to check out. He'll help you open your locker plus inform the front reception you're leaving and while you're getting dressed they'll take the time to calculate your total. And that's all.
It is quite straightforward and as a first timer it may seem awkward. But as you go more often you will be like a pro!
In our website you will find reviews of "Health Saunas and Spas" and I will list what kinds of services they provide as well as pricing and of course what ladies they have to offer. The reviews below are listed in the order of the best to not exactly the best.
