The room is crammed with people. Hushed voices everywhere. A man blinks and stares at his food with dismal, it just isn't worth the effort. A hand reaches for him from the corner of his eyes and he avoids it.
The chatter continues and he feels his mouth going into a frown so he excuses himself and avoids meeting anyone's eyes. A flash of pink crosses his path and something in his head snaps, he knows he's glaring. "Leave me alone."
His mind wanders as he goes up the stairs and before he knows it he's sitting on a bed. He's tired, eyes raw, his whole body numb. He just wants to close his eyes and forget about everything.
He falls asleep the second his head hits the pillow.
When he opens his eyes he can feel the warmth coming from a fireplace. The fire eating away at the wood is a comforting sound.
Remus blinks and sits up sits, he finds himself perched over his seventh year transfiguration book, quill between his fingers and a three rolls of parchment on the side. He is sixteen. He is at Hogwarts.
Sirius Black sits across from him, and in contrast to Remus, he has just one book and one roll of parchment in front of him. Remus looks briefly from his assignment as Sirius purses his lips in confusion and taps the parchment nervously with the tip of his quill. He can't help smiling. Sirius notices he's being stared at and looks up, returning Remus smile with a grin.
Remus stomach flips and his eyes go back to his homework, a faint colour covering his cheeks. He starts writing again, taking a deep breath and burying the feelings. He feels as if he's been there for hours. Maybe he has. Sirius faces him, both of them focused on their studies. Remus can sometimes feel Sirius's eyes on him, which is quite distracting.
Occasionally, a torn piece of parchment falls on top of what he is reading. This is even more distracting.
"Sirius, stop it." Remus hisses without glancing up from his reading and Sirius replies with another bit of parchment that hits Remus's forehead. He jerks his gaze to Sirius. Sirius grins at him from across the table. With a roll of his eyes Remus stands and settles himself on the couch on the far end of the room, beside the fire. It isn't long before the couch's weight shifts.
"Sirius, it's late. I want to get at least a few hours of sleep." The weight shifts again and Remus feels Sirius's body heat. So close.
"Moony," Sirius whispers and Remus's breath catches in his throat. Without closing the book, he glances sideways. Sirius rests his chin on Remus's arm, just below his shoulder.
"I never told you I loved you, Moony."
Sirius is smiling. His eyes are glowing with something. Something buried deep inside Remus's heart, his greatest wish. He feels Sirius's hand cover his. Sirius closes the book and tosses it aside.
"Is this a dream?" Remus asks, afraid of the answer.
"Maybe," Sirius whispers and Remus feels fingers tracing up his arm, his collarbone, and lastly his neck, finally resting on his face. "Did you love me, Remus?" Sirius asks.
Remus forgets to breath. It has to be a dream. Soon he will wake up and remember that he doesn't have the guts to tell Sirius how he feels. Come morning they will just be friends. It is a dream. Remus leans forward and presses his forehead against Sirius's. "Yes," he breathes. He can feel Sirius's warm breath against his. "Very much." He clutches at Sirius's robes and feels the body under them. Real. There. Sirius is really there. And he just told Remus he loved him.
Their lips touch. They kiss.
Remus clings to Sirius as the kiss ends and promises to never again keep inside such a thing. He will tell Sirius for the rest of his life how much he loves him.
Sirius shifts slightly and pulls back, kissing Remus's temple and whispering against his skin. "Now you know. Remember that I loved you, Moony"
Remus's eyes snap open and he grabs at Sirius's robes. An invisible door has opened and he sees, he knows.
"Sirius!" Remus pleads desperately, shaking his head. "Please, don't…."
Sirius holds his face still. "Hush," he breathes before kissing Remus lightly on the lips. "It's okay." Another kiss.
"Not again…." Remus wants to say, "Please don't leave again…." But he knows he can't stop it. Sirius is still smiling and Remus wishes Sirius would take him with him.
Remus wakes up. Startled. His heart is aching.
He looks around the room. It isn't his room. It was Sirius's old room. He came here last night looking for something and fell asleep on the bed. He closes his eyes and runs fingers across his lips still feeling the lingering kiss; it had to be more than a dream. But even if he can feel it, it doesn't change the reality.
Because there is no more Hogwarts. Only an abandoned house that isn't his. There are no friends dear to him. Only people who are passing by.
And there is no Sirius.
Sirius is dead.

Gigi Hadid is training to get a 'perkier' bottom for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
Gigi Hadid has been trying to get a "perkier" bottom prior to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
The 21-year-old model is set to grace the runway for the lingerie giant next month for the second time in her career, and the catwalk icon has admitted for the "last two weeks" her workouts have been focused on toning her pert posterior prior to the show, which will take place in Paris on December 5.
Speaking about her preparation for the highly-anticipated runway appearance, the blonde beauty said: "A lot of squats and eating my carbs ... My butt is what I'm working on for the last two weeks -- need to get it perkier."
And Gigi thinks it's "insane" she will be walking alongside her younger sibling Bella in her first catwalk show for the fashion house.
She explained: "For us to be able to do it together is insane."
And the style icon is equally excited to share the platform with her close friend and 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star Kendall Jenner, because they didn't get to model together during Paris Fashion Week earlier this year and it's been a "while" since the duo last worked with one another.
She said: "I didn't get Kenny [Kendall Jenner] with me during fashion month cause she took some time off, so this will be our first show together in a while."
Meanwhile the fashion muse is set to host the American Music Awards (AMAs) and reportedly has between five and 10 outfit changes set for the music bash, which will take place on November 20, although she will only adorn ensembles she is "really excited" to wear.
She explained to ExtraTV.com: "I'll only put outfits on stage that I'm really excited to wear.
"As long as I'm relaxed it goes well, I try not to get myself worked up."

Top Ten Most Expensive Women's Handbags
Most Expensive Women's Handbags in the World
Top Ten Most Expensive Bags and Purses You Can Buy!
First a request, please don't forget to vote in the survey below for your favorite bag from the list. I have been quite surprised to see which one most people like the most!
Also, don't forget to checkout the video, which has slightly different prices for the bags, as we here have never actually bought one of these bags, we can't vouch for the prices. Suffice to say that you are going to need to be extremely free and easy with your cash (or with someone else's) to get yourself one of them. We know that women love handbags, bags and purses but just why they love them so much is more difficult to fathom. It can't be genetic, as, strange as it may seem, handbags have only been around for about 150 years. The handbag fashion only really started in the late nineteenth century and it was not until around 1920 that handbags or bags became an essential item of a woman's wardrobe!
Louis Vuitton was the first manufacturer of "designer bags" and since he started it all off plenty of others have jumped on the designer bag bandwagon, no doubt seeing a good opportunity to make a lot of money by turning what should be just an ordinary utilitarian article into a prized object of fantasies and dreams. Why is a designer bag so expensive ? well, why not ? If people are willing to pay ever-increasing amounts of money for a bag to carry stuff about in, then why deprive them of that God-given right ?
Designer Handbags are Expensive - But Just How Expensive are the Most Expensive Designer Bags ?
The following is the list of the top ten most expensive womens handbags - which I obtained by scouring the Internet and piecing together the evidence. Check them out then rush off and buy one (well something similar anyway) !
Most Expensive Women's Handbags Nos. 1 - 6
Top Ten Most Expensive Designer Handbags in Photo Nos. 1 - 6
1. The Mouawad's 1001 Nights Diamond Purse - $3.8 million
Officially certified by Guinness World Records the Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse is now the most expensive designer handbag in the world at $3.8 million. The heart-shaped purse is handcrafted from 18kt gold and has 4,517 diamonds (4,356 colorless, 105 yellow, 56 pink) with a total weight of 381.92 carats. It was made by ten artisans who worked on it for a total of 8,800 hours.
2. The Hermes Birkin bag created by Japanese designer Ginza Tanaka - $1.9 million
This Hermes bags was apparently sold in 2008 for around $1.9 million. It is made of platinum and has over 2,000 diamonds. It is also versatile, so that in addition to being a handbag you can also use the diamond strap as a necklace or bracelet by removing it from the bag. The bag itself has an 8-carat pear shaped shimmering diamond that can also be used separately
3. The Chanel "Diamond Forever" Classic Handbag - $261,000
The "Diamond Forever" classic handbag boasts 334 diamonds for a total of 3.56 carats, in 18-carat white gold. The shoulder straps are also made from white gold. There are only 13 available worldwide, with five of them being in the USA.
4. Lana Marks Cleopatra Bag - $250,000
Lana Marks produces one Cleopatra clutch for retail each year. The one in the picture is made of metallic silver alligator skin and a clasp with 1,500 black and white diamonds in 18-carat white gold. Helen Mirren wore the $250,000 Lana Marks Cleopatra Clutch at the 2007 Academy Awards. Lana only allows one star per year to carry her handmade diamond studded designs down the crimson carpet. How snooty is that ?
5. Urban Satchel Louie Vuitton Bag - $150,000
The Louie Vuitton Urban Satchel Bag is created from all sorts of urban junk e.g. cigarette packets, water bottle, tea bags and band aid. Apparently this handbag doesn't actually exist and was put together as a spoof by an artist who I believe is called 14 (apologies if I spelt her name wrong) - and who resides here - http://galleryoftheabsurd.typepad.com/14/2007/03/the_worlds_most.html - if it doesn't exist then it should and at a $150,000 a throw I think she should make a few more, who knows someone may have $150,000 looking for a home?
6. Hermes Matte Crocodile Birkin Bag - $120,000
Named after British singer/actress Jane Birkin. The clasp of this tote boasts 10 carats of white diamonds. The bag itself is made of crocodile. You can get cheaper versions sarting at around $5000
Most Expensive Women's Handbags Nos. 6 - 10

10B. Fendi Selleria Bag - $38,000

So there you have it. A fine collection of beautiful bags, except one, and I wish you luck in your quest to buy one or to get someone else to buy you one ! If you are looking for something slightly less expensive then remember that - the Hermes Birkin bag starts at only $5000 !
Slightly Different 10 Most Expensive Handbags
New Poll due to the Addition of the Mouawad Diamond Purse
If money were no object which of the abvoe designer handbags would you buy?
People pay millions for a rare stamp, so there is nothing to be surprised off. When the rich people spend their money harmlessly to others, we should be happy that they did not drive up the price for what the ordinary people consider as necessity. When people buy things, they do help the economy and provide employment. We all should be happy the wealthy people do spend their money from time to time, even for things that you will not buy for the price it shows. Believe it or not, it is only happens in a real "free country".
Wow - I never knew handbags could get so expensive! The diamond purse will do me nicely thank you very much!
*sigh* I wish I could own these bags... I could only drool.
Best bags ever, and don't cost the price of a house - Coach! Last forever, great quality leather and stylish! Who could ask for anything more?
I Wanna get all of them soon.
But can it shoot laser beam and be edible in case of the Apocalypse?
Just thought I should ask.
Wow, I still can't decide which bag I'd choose. I think I'd go for the Hermes Berkin bag because I like big purses. This was a great read!
I would tire of having security guards escorting me to McDonald's and church. Lol!
I suppose the filthy rich can pamper themselves.
Interesting hub!
I'm quite amused by the urban bag, hahaha.
Apart from that... they're very beautiful bags! But of course very, very expensive. I would have loved to see a reproduction of these bags with fake stones -- but of course this would have been a copyright issue. My favorite is the rose bag, it's really lovely. :)
If you own one of these you are automatically a terrible person! Really!
Awesome hub.Very nice collection of handbags .Thanks for sharing this hub.
I wouldn't walk in the mud with any of them you are all ignorant.
I will be interest for women bags
How do i contact these company? Hope to hear from you
Daniel J.
These are all very old. I think there has been a recession! People are very poor now! Pfft! Show some new bags! Im BORED!
PS....I forgot to say that was in the mid 90's before all this hoopla started with celebs and knockoff issues.
I have a Birkin 35cm in black/gold rare chevre and I love it. I saved up for it. I didn't buy frou frou things because I wanted this bag. It took a while but I got it and I'm so thrilled to have it. Rich family, no. Exquisite taste, yes. LOL.
Easy come, easy go. Pleople who knows the difficulty of earning do not spend so easily. Historically material riches are usually linked the worst human misery.
Most of them are really UGLY!
I saw a callum fraser couture bag and that had things on it that none of these bags even come close to. If I had the money id get one of them and be really different
nice bags
I have a LV that was purchased four years ago for around 900 bucks. Tote it everyday everywhere. Still looks pretty good and has held up beautifully. Will tote it till it falls apart and if I can afford it, I will buy another to replace it. Best bag I ever had. Oh and by the way the reason I bought it is I don't like changing bags. Wanted one to last as long as possible and so far I have not been disappointed.
oh...........i love diamond purse that was sooooo.......... cute..........
Yes, Marie I agree BUT I know just the girl who wants one since her husband is so wealthy! I wanted to see which were the most expensive bags for women. Venessa Bryant (Kobe's wife, of Laker fame) recently stated in an interview that she was tired of the same old handbags that ALL other women had. She has had Hermes, LV, Marc Jacob, Chanel, etc. since she was a teen. She married Bryant when she was 17 or 18. So, maybe little miss "eat them eat cake" should purchase SOME of the bags that were mentioned here. Maybe someone who has her email address can forward this article to her, so she can go sjopping. ^ ^
Waste of money!!! You would have to be the most selfish person ever to even think of buying these ugly handbags!!!
Only a moron would waste money on this women get so brainwashed by media and celebrity and brand names get out of the BS
id rather spent my cash on a callum fraser couture bag cos they r more rare.
Why do I feel that LV bags are not worth the price mentioned above??
They missed out callumfrasercouture bags. they're awesome
INSANE!!!! Who would EVER spend 3.8 million on a BAG?? What about everything else you could buy with that money. Crazy People these days. Crazy I tell you.

thank you for the very interesting information! I personally don't understand why having a garbage bag of an "excelling" is all that great. If you have money, then congradulations!! I hope u worked hard and deserve the money you earn. I hope you all just understand that all these very expensive items are only for looks and appearance. Someone who is moral and uses common sense (please forgive if i attend anyone) is not even going to think anything of your expensive bag. I honestly do think that the most expensive purse is very beautiful. It's a wonderful piece of art! I personally would not even waist my time on it! But for all those august people who can afford it....actually. I think its very incoherent to purchase it...even if it is beautiful!! Anyway, this really left me super shocked!! Great great blot!! You yourself seem to be a very interesting person by all your responded to comments. Your writing is very intriguing!! Keep up the great work!! You must fey tired of writing back to all the comments huh? Haha.
no.1 is so cute and beautiful i wish i will have that bag
I liked the first bag, which is worth some millions... I guess these should be in the handbag Museum in Amsterdam...
They are all ugly... Even if i had the money i wouldn't but any of them. I would rather donate the money or find a something productive to do.
there not that expensive
The Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse with a value of $3.8 million USD as certified by the Guinness World Record Authority as the worlds most expensive purse. The diamond handbag, handcrafted from 18K gold and incorporating 4,517 diamonds (105 yellow, 56 pink and 4,356 colourless) with a total weight of 381.92 carats, is now on sale. It has been admired by jewellery connoisseurs from around the globe - from Dubai to Saudi Arabia, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Beirut and Los Angeles. So what are you waiting for!
Gucci Baby Series Bag are here combined for you, Three-piece suit with same design style for you choice, allow you more pratical and convenience.
I think it's amazing to even think that someone could spend 1.9 million on 'a bag', when such large amounts of money could be invested in say 10 HOUSES which could provide a huge rental income cumulatively (or be given to charity to save lives of a small 3rd world country perhaps). This is coming from a male perspective, so I don't quite understand women's fascination with a bag, but I think one thing is clear: the only ones who are buying such bags are not self made millionaires because every self made millionaire will tell you every penny counts (I've got relatives who can truly attest to that statement) and in the rare case that a self made millionaire purchases a 1.9 million dollar bag, it is for his wife/ ...or the owner did not purchase the bag, but had one made for herself given its her bag company in the first place.
Bag is a bag!! Its how you "Carry" them! you can wear the most expensive bag in the world and still look like "shit! or you can wear the cheapest one and still look fabulous! Sorry..
its so much expensive but not gooooooooooooooooooooOooOoOD..
Why waste so much money on these things that just hold your stuff in and risk yourself of being robbed? I'm not just talking about these handbags.. I'm talking about all designer bags.. Because even $1000 for one is just ridiculous... But then again, rich people don't care. They splurge on what's not necessary. Shame.
The new revolution of handbags is a light inside! Technology and beauty in the Glass Handbag. The first of these will be worth a ton someday. www.glasshandbag.com

Thank you,
Welcome to Louis Vuitton Outlet Online Store! You can get Louis Vuitton bags 2011 right here in Louis Vuitton Outlet. Louis Vuitton Outlet is your best choice to you.
i like hermes bag very much, if i have money i will buy
i'm glad i stumbled over this site and looking at all these expensive bags just left me in awe... some weren't truly worth the price such as those junk bags but some look really lovely. i'll be glad to have one of these bags as a gift, but i'd never spend such amount using my own hard-earned money for just a single bag. :)
Thanks for this great post women likes handbag when women go out, there are lots of things that they need to take, such as cosmetics, mirrors, purse and cell phones. These things cannot be carried by their hands, so they choose handbags to serve as their friends. When you read at this you may see that women are troublesome, yes, to some extent. Women should makeup when they attend some formal occasions, so they need to take their cosmetic to refine their makeup.
Charlie Jade Dress
I love Leiber Precious Rose Bag!
I can understand what you're saying, but if people have enough money to purchase these things, let them purchase it, and not make a big deal over the price.
Yes all that money could feed hungry children!!!!! How do you know that these designers don't donate to charities????? You don't! If America had a good reason for being broke, you could maybe use that, but really they didn't have a hurricane like half the rest of the world! The only person at fault of the economy is the government and the people! People have been taking advantage of MONEY for years now!
I so much enjoyed reading all the comments! I own a few authentic LV, Gucci, Fendi, Coach, Dior and Prada bags that I collected over the years and most of them are vintage and only bought for a fraction of the price from Thrift shops, pre-owned stores and on-line shops, all in their original dustbags. I like vintage designer bags because I believe the vintage ones are classic, never goes out of style, and at least, in my opinion, of obvious authenticity (compared to the costly latest models and their 99% replicas nowadays). Like most of you said, bags are women's status symbol and I carry my bags with pride. It's sad though that I couldn't carry my precious LV monogram bags all the time! Not with oily hands or in bad weathers! Cowhide leather in monogram Louis Vuitton bags easily get dirty, darken and leave permanent mark even their boxes and paper bags and I don't understand why an expensive item as such could easily blemish in a blink of an eye. Even my vintage Gucci bags are already starting to flake inside and scuff! Is it really worth buying? What happens to quality and durability that you pay for especially for expensive brand new stuff? Very ironic, huh?!
how i wish that my boyfriend give 1 of this bags to me,...grrrrrrrrrr!!!!
They all look nice. But can they bite? Nobody in their right mind would think of having all of them.
i currently live in an Asian country and i see the craze for LVs and Coach handbags around me.. even if some of the women do not earn enough to pay for their mortgages, they most definitely buy these expensive handbags. it baffles me as to why they are so crazy about these labels especially when they don't even have enough money to spare. however i realized that it has become a status symbol for them more than anything else and it is really sad to see so. Anyway,more than the information, i like your view points.
yup! i don't have that such money..would you allow me to say..."if these are true..its just soooo stuuuupid"
Great Hub. I can't believe how much some of these handbags cost. They are all very unique and different. I love the precious rose handbag. Very cool!
Great blog! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the information is well written. I am wondering how I may be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which ought to do the trick! Have a nice day!
i love the birkin bag! its beyond gorgeous im dying to get one my birthday is coming up and i keep hinting it to my boyfriend.

Nice Hub. Very interesting just how much these handbags are. I love the precious rose handbag!
Then what should i do to be nice? lol
I love the first and the fifth.
Hey all!
I just purchased bag #5 and to be honest...... It was worth EVERY PENNY! And I plan on getting more! Once you own one of these bags you see things completely different!
Happy shopping!
all are very ugly!
I was looking up most expensive handbags, my Uncle was commenting on how our country is going to Hell in a handbag(http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/Facepirate) the LV Urban trash one really proved his point in a weird way..The way our leaders spend money and waste it!
Bah Humbug!!!!!!!!!!
That's really interesting, keep us posted...
I want all these in my collection.:P
omg i just got a great coach bag online for 60 bucks which is the most amazing deal eva and im soo excited!! ya neva no what u kind find online!! word of advice for all of you if you have 1 mill to spend on something that ull probably were once or twice, then don't buy the retarted bag and dontate it to charity!! that is redicoulus! imagine how much that could change someones life!!
Nice bags. Thanks for informing about the expensive bags.
Hey Singular Investor,
Yes, handbag hooks are helpful in so many ways. They can keep your handbag in place wherever you go. Many women face the dilemma where to put their bags wherever they go, like in the restaurant. A friend of mine owns a thrift store of such handbag hooks. Check this out http://www.handbaghookhanger.co.uk/. You can see some cool designs of hooks for handbags at this website. :)
By the way, thanks for correcting the link to my post.
oh my gosh!those kinds of bags are useless knowing that there are many people who are really poor,just donate it better
I love them all! I want to own such handbag in the future. I also wrote a hub on the use of handbag hook. Here is the link http://hubpages.com/hub/Handbag-Hook-Benefits.
The Urban Satchel Louis Vuitton Bag does not exist. It is a parody created by the artist 14 at Gallery of the Absurd. Here is the link: http://www.galleryoftheabsurd.com/2007/03/the_worl...
why you want to encourage people not to buy those chanel products where the money you spend is not yours its their money. . all chanel products are very quality in terms of its material used. . your money is worth when you buy these products. .
who would buy #4? even if thry put a big LV tag there...looks like ur carrying a big trash with 150K price!so crazy..
Wow! I love them all. They are all lovable and really beautiful. I can't think of a word that could describe them. I'm speechless........................
The Louis Vuitton bag was a complete shock to me that one, that bag would be that expensive two, that Louis Vuitton would make a bag that ugly because my mom (I'm 11) actually has Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, and other really expensive stuff, no I'm not trying to shoe off. Bit the rose bag was amazing detail and i liked the design I thought it was smart and new. But the hermés one that was $1.9 million dollars had also amazing detail with the platinum, diamonds and the leather I would deffinetly like to buy that for my girlfriend when I'm older:) I also liked the article it was very helpful:)
people, who are making a big deal about all the money of these bags put to world hung, STFU! this post is for fun information and to see the rare gorgeous and ultra expensive handbags, not to drone on about world hunger. I'm not saying thats not important just is kinda of annoying.
Woo, so expensive, But as far as I concerned, Hermes handbag was very popular last year. FOr the riches, it worthy the money, but for the middle-class persons, it is not that economical, but the popselling.com provides the same one at a very low price. That would be afforable for every one
waste of money
The most expensive tend to be a little too simple for the cost. I would expect something much practical and with a lot of imagination. These look classy.
The Hermes Birkin created by Japanese designer Ginza Tanaka is... well nice and decently looking...but the Urban Satchel Louis Vuitton Bag and Gadino Bag by Hilde Palladino is just a total garbage... i don't think it's art in any way that i try to understand it...the rest of the bags are simple...nothing unusual except for the kind of leather they use...still unreasonably priced... wearing something expensive doesn't make you look expensive... i have seen a few people buying expensive stuff from louis vuitton and other designers and seeing them wear it didn't give justice to the "status symbol" that these items are supposedly portraying... i even remember seeing this lady in a mall wearing a fendi skirt, a gucci shoes, and chanel shirt and seriously seeing all those monograms all together is not style... it totally was a disaster! Aside from that, considering all the class AAA+ replica items that's all over the market now who's copied almost all the details of an original, i doubt even a pro can identify a fake one from an original not unless you hang the certificato all over your bag for everyone to see that you have a pricey bag... seriously, an example would be an LV bag...yes it's quite costly but i hope the price goes with the hardware they use for their zippers... why use brass anyway and sell one at such an overpriced cost, how expensive has brass become anyway?
Like the Leiber Precious Rose.Wondeful, never see such beautiful and expensive handbags. http://www.handbagtime.com
Thanks so much for the excellent information! Keep up the great work!
Jennifer ;)
Wow! The prices for these purses are out of this world crazy! Makes me wonder who bought the first one for 1.9 million. I can think of so many other things that money could have been used for. To each their own I guess but I would feel like a complete idiot carrying a purse that cost that much money. Nice fun hub and thumbs up!
Wow! Those are some expensive bags...nice, but expensive!
O.M.G that's all I can say!...
You're funny. No bf comment :)
The Rose Handbag looks quite unusual, yet unique. Im not sure I would carry it though. Of course, Id have to try it on first!

- One of the Boos says the word Boo...in binary code.
- Also, his name: ComBooter.
- In the first Gloomy Manor mission, Luigi surprises a Greenie in the shower. After the two simultaneously freak out, the Greenie makes a run for it...and promptly smacks right into the wall that it was trying to phase through.
- Gadd's motivational speech to Luigi. "With my brains and your...uh...your...hmm, we may be in a bit of a pickle..."
- "...you have a really bushy moustache!"
- In the Haunted Towers' first mission, there's a hole, where if you peek through it, you'll see a Slammer ghost banging wildly on a pipe organ. A Hider later takes up residence in said organ during the second mission, and occasionally pops out of the pipes as the Slammer keeps playing it!
- In a later mission (B-3 Graveyard Shift), the window of the Gardener's Room shows a bunch of Greenies "rising from the grave" as zombies. The sounds they make are really silly.
- Really, a lot of the shenanigans the ghosts are up to.
- The Greenies, oh boy, the Greenies. They're always doing something cute, funny, or both!
- The boss of the second world is a Possessor ghost possessing a wooden staircase.
- Also hilariously appropriate, considering the area immediately previous to that. One's reaction may be something among the lines of "That staircase was even worse than the one in Super Mario 64! I never want to see another staircase agai-OH COME ON!"
- In Gloomy Manor's studio, there are two Hiders, one painting and one modeling. The model annoys the artist by changing pose and peeking at the portrait. By the time Luigi gets to the studio, it's revealed that the artist Hider painted a spiteful mustache on his model's portrait.
- There's a pendulum at the Old Clockworks. Launching the distressed Toad at the pendulum produces a gong sound and rewards you with a shower of bills.
- At the Secret Mine, there is a hockey goal. Launch a nearby puck into it, and two Gold Greenie goalies will come out to play.
- When Luigi discovers the teleporter system underneath the Secret Mine, he tests it by sticking his arm through it, seeing it come out the other portal...and then begins waving to himself back and forth and saying hi.
- Professor E. Gadd has some good snark if you try to go the wrong way before a boss mission. "Sometimes, I wonder about you, Luigi..."
- "Why the long face, Luigi? Well, genetics I suppose..."
- Similar to the Greenie in the shower, Luigi will find a Slammer on the toilet in Treacherous Mansion's second mission. Said Slammer is also reading a newspaper.
- And the method you have to use to battle the Slammer? Why, flush the toilet, of course. (Though it sends a spout of water out to hurt him, not sucking him in.)
- When Gadd first plays Mr. Exposition in explaining where the fragments of the Dark Moon are, Luigi is clearly doing the "He's crazy" gesture behind his back.
- King Boo decides to use a 3rd-grade bully insult before his fight.
King Boo: Why, if it isn't my old pal Luigi! Or is it Baby Luigi? I can't tell the difference.
- After the first boss, the un-possessed spider queen leaves through a crack in the basement wall with some spiders. Luigi looks down the hall and sees a flood of spiders rushing to the crack and Luigi stands in the middle them frozen panicking the whole time. After they're all gone and he talks to Gadd, Luigi starts doing a goofy victory dance, when another spider drops in behind him. Luigi looks at it, screams, falls, and the spider just... walks off.
- At the end, when the Dark Moon is restored, all the ghosts are shown changing back to normal. Among the ghosts shown is a Slammer chewing on a Greenie's head. When it realises what it was doing after changing back, he spits it out before giving it a hug.
- Also, right before that, a Greenie in an outdoor area of the Secret Mine turns back to normal... and then starts shivering from the cold.
- While the doll whose head follows you around the room in the Haunted Towers is creepy, you can make it unscrew its own head by circling around it counterclockwise.
- Doing this gets you a gem. Helpful if you're going for 100%.
- Luigi finds one of Gadd's Toad assistants trapped in the Clockworks factory. Said Toad is absolutely terrified of clocks, and is delighted when Luigi shows up because he thought he'd been forgotten.
E. Gadd: I completely forgot about him! ...I must be really horrible to work for.
- Treacherous Mansion makes this even worse. Gadd instructs you to find the Toad assistant working there, who upon being rescued tells you that two assistants work there. And after you rescue both, Gadd thinks one of them is a ghostly impostor...
- And even after he apologizes for that and says he's glad they're safe, he adds, "...I suppose this means I'll have to give them their paychecks now.."
- In the final battle with King Boo, in certain stages, he'll slam himself into the ground to have steel spiked balls fall from the air. As much as the fight is awesome (and slightly terrifying), it's funny as hell to see one of the balls fall on him head-on if you're staring at him just as there's a shadow growing larger, right over him.
- King Boo still cowers shyly, like any old Boo, when you point the flashlight in his face/look at him directly.
- Just before sending Luigi into the Gloomy Mansion for the first time, Gadd tells Luigi to stop looking so scared because it's "just a few harmless ghosts." Then, Gadd thinks about what he just said and admits that it's actually several hundred dangerous ghosts.
- At the end of the Secret Mine's third mission (D-3), Luigi becomes snowed-in and E. Gadd has to teleport him out. Gadd, realizing that Luigi must be frozen, offers to give him some time to warm himself up before his battle with the Shrewd Possessor. A few dialogue boxes consisting entirely of "..." is all the time Gadd is willing to give Luigi.
- In general, E. Gadd's conversations with Luigi tend to be quite humorous, especially thanks to Gadd's absent-mindedness and Luigi's priceless reactions.
- Any scene with the Polterpup.
Luigi: No no no, bad doggie!
- The intro cutscene to the Overset Possessor fight. Luigi flies upward to the boss platform and flies through one of the panels, sending the bird on it flying. The Possessor is behind that panel with a mischievous grin.
- One of the Boos is named "Paraboola". In the American version, when he comes out, he says...
Paraboola: "I'm Paraboola! A symmetrical open-plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side! I mean... BOO!"
- The animation when Luigi manages to capture a Boo. It doesn't quite fit, and he ends up using the Poltergust's nozzle as a pogo stick to force the Boo in, with the poor spirit making squeaking noises the whole time.
- The way you fight Boos in this game. You grab their tongues and launch them around the room.
- In one of the missions in Treacherous Mansion, Luigi can peek inside a hole near the balcony to find two Boos using the unfinished portal as a skateboarding ramp.
- E. Gadd apparently doesn't know that Luigi really is a plumber, as right after B-1, he tells Luigi that he'd have a promising future as a plumber if "ghost busting" doesn't work out for him.
- Booreaucrat, the Boo from E-3, is pretty amusing.
Booreaucrat: "Ahem...I am Booreaucrat! This mansion is now under the ownership of King Boo, esquire. I take it you have the proper credentials to be here, including ID and a mansion roaming licence? No? That's...unfortunate. You will have to be penalised!"
- A cutscene of Luigi being pixelated in front of the Old Clockworks that you can get by chance has him being pixelated without his hat. He starts freaking out looking for it, then the hat simply pixelates on top of his head.
- The two Slammers at the beginning of B-3 that pop out of the ground with potted plants on their heads.
- The scene where you extract Mario from the painting, he just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to this. To clarify, because there was no solid ground for Mario to stand on as he was extracted, he just ends up unceremoniously faceplanting on the ground below him, even though Luigi was standing literally right next to him and could have easily caught him.

A CACI subsidiary company provided civilian interrogators to the U.S. military in Iraq. They provided assistance in interrogating prisoners at Abu Grhaib Prison.
CACI is suing for $1 million in compensatory and $10 million in punitive damages. Air America is trying to persuade the Court that their insurance company will take care of it.
I don't think the suit is "fair".
Randi Rhodes and the rest of the comedians at Air America are just Progressive entertainers. They don't really know anything about issues, the law, history etc. They are just trying to demonize their political opponents.
This is no different than suing a middle school newspaper for some slight.
Just because Randi Rhodes said the CACI contractors were raping and torturing prisoners doesn't mean anyone but liberals who already WANT believe that claim because it makes them FEEL good would be swayed.
I know lots of liberals. They constantly say things just to make themselves and other liberals feel good and to get under the skin conservatives stupid enough to debate them. If you just listen to them for a while the pattern reveals itself.
Air America was nothing more than a humorless echo chamber of sporadically vented hate and progressive propaganda.
Let them alone, as the MSM is doing today, and hope another investor comes up with the cash to keep them "airborne".

Low-Energy Lighting and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME)
This consultation response is from Professor Anthony Pinching, Associate Dean and Professor of Clinical Immunology at Peninsula College of Medicine & Dentistry. I have wide experience of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME), through caring for over 4,000 patients with over 25 years, and am an experienced clinical academic. I was Clinical Lead for CFS/ME at Department of Health during the service investment programme and Deputy Chairman of the Independent Working Group on CFS/ME to the Chief Medical Officer. I have no expertise in lighting technologies.
I have, over many years, been struck by the consistency with which a proportion of CFS/ME patients report adverse experiences in settings lit with fluorescent lights. This is especially, but not exclusively, amongst those in whom general light sensitivity is present; this tends to affect those with more severe disability, but can be present in less severely affected people.
These patients have a disability that already has a pervasive effect on their lives, and greatly constrains their functioning in all domains. It greatly reduces their ability to achieve basic activities of daily living, to do basic shopping, to participate in social activities with others, let alone to be able to function within their limitations in working environments.
For most patients until now, it seems that fluorescent tubes have been most likely to cause problems. Note that we are not talking about defective fluorescent tubes, but about a problem resulting from the characteristics of the light emitted when they are functioning as intended. The use of other low-energy bulbs is not sufficiently widespread yet to have an estimate of how widely such effects occur with other products, but patients have already expressed serious concerns. I understand that representative organisations have heard from dozens of people with CFS/ME who have tried to use the new low-energy bulbs, and have had bad reactions to them.
The effect of fluorescent lighting is immediate, and it generally means that the patient has to leave the environment (eg a store) or get the lights switched off (eg in clinics). The symptoms evoked vary from headaches and visual distortion, to more general increases in their wide-ranging CFS/ME symptoms, the latter being most common. In many cases, such exposures can trigger relapses that may last for days; I am aware of severe instances that have lasted for months.
The mechanism of this effect and its relation to the physical properties of the lighting products is unclear. It is likely to relate to the wider sensory distortion and overload experienced by patients with CFS/ME, probably consequent upon altered neural processing and cognitive changes. The observations are consistent, and were being made long before the present discussions.
As with much else in CFS/ME, this effect has not yet been researched, and it is inadequately documented in formal research studies. It is only of late that serious and high quality research studies are being done on CFS/ME (see the 2003 MRC Report on Research needed on CFS/ME). However, the clinical phenomenon has been consistently noted as a feature by patients and by experienced clinicians for years, and well before the present proposals.
The proposal to switch to low energy bulbs obviously has much to commend it in environmental terms, but was launched with little warning, and seemingly little prior investigation into potential health impacts, as judged by the material provided supporting this consultation. Understandably, it has not yet been possible to conduct systematic research studies to give more detail on the concerns expressed by various disease groups, and the clinicians caring for them, since the proposals were announced.
Normally, if a new product is being introduced, the onus is on those who would introduce that product, and those who produce it, to demonstrate safety or lack of harm. I have been troubled by some comments of those proposing this change that seem: a) to diminish and undermine the legitimate concerns represented by patients and clinicians; and b) to dismiss them because of lack of evidence. It is of course well known that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence (of effect).
I would argue that it is essential that those who are proposing this widespread change in the built environment should conduct surveys and studies on the impact of the new lighting products on those disease groups where legitimate concerns have been raised. In this way, it can be determined the extent to which such problems affect these populations, and in particular, if different new products differ in the extent to which such things occur.
In the light of such evidence, proposals could be modified or safeguards introduced to avoid creating new health problems by the mass introduction of an inadequately researched set of products. I am sure that – with appropriate resources – clinicians and academics with groups supporting patients with a range of relevant diseases would be pleased to assist in obtaining such evidence.
Yours faithfully
Professor Anthony J Pinching
Associate Dean and Professor of Clinical Immunology
Dear Evelyne,
I know for sure from my professional experience as a Professor of Dermatology specialising in lighting effects on skin at the St John's Institute of Dermatology for the past thirty years that a significant number of people with certain skin disorders such as seborrhoeic eczema and lupus cannot tolerate any form of fluorescent lighting in their vicinity (say within twenty to thirty feet) but only incandescent lighting from tungsten filament bulbs. The precise reason for this has not been elucidated but may relate to atmospheric ionisation effects near the bulbs. However, whether the reason for the effect is known or not does not negate the fact that some patients with these conditions definitely find any fluorecent lighting intolerable in their environment, in that their exposed skin develops a most unpleasant stinging or burning sensation throughout the exposure.
I was assured while being interviewed on a BBC Radio 4 Today Programme in early January this year by a co-interviewee who was a lighting advisor to the relevant government body that a facility would definitely remain for affected patients to have access to incandescent rather than fluorescent bulbs for lighting. I think that retaining such an option is absolutely essential for such patients and I would be prepared to assist you in very firmly advocating that approach, or the patients in question will not have any access to lighting after dark.
Please do contact me further as required.
Best wishes and very good luck with this matter.
Yours sincerely,
John Hawk.
Dear Evelyne Muller
Thank you for your email. There is no doubt that there are some patients who are treated by Dermatologists who suffer problems from standard domestic (and other) fluorescent lights. Magnus in the 1970s demonstrated that domestic fluorescent sources can trigger or exacerbate the ultraviolet sensitive eczema known as 'chronic actinic dermatitis'. There is good evidence in the literature about the possible role of fluorescent lights in exacerbating cutaneous lupus. There is also a group of patients with specific fluorescent light sensitivity whose skin reacts in an 'allergic' and unpleasant manner to fluorescent lights with in seconds or minutes of being exposed to the light, and these patients do not seem to suffer the same problems with incandescent lights in my experience. I have seen a relatively small number of patients with this syndrome . However, for them it is extremely disabling, unpleasant and often long term. Also we do not know how common this is as a disease in the general population--it may well be commoner than we think with patients not perhaps always being referred to a Dermatologist because of the nature of the problem. It may well be the case, that many or most patients with fluorescent light sensitivity syndromes are reacting to ultraviolet in the emitted light. However there are other differences between incandescent and fluorescent lights such as the 'spikiness' of the spectrum of emitted light. Given that the clinical symptoms are so varied it is likely that 'fluorescent light sensitivity' is caused by a variety of disease processes many of which are not currently understood.
Thus, it is likely that , whatever UV protection is put into place with fluorescent lights, there will always be a group of patients who react to the fluorescent light and can only tolerate incandescent lights. Certainly more reserch would be helpful and the HPA's recent work is very helpful in this regard.
Yours sincerely

Optometrist statement
I am seeing increasing numbers of patients with problems which are caused by low energy lighting.
I have four patients who are badly affected by low energy lighting and whose lives are severely restricted because of this problem. Those in employment have had to be given home working arrangements by their employers because of they cannot tolerate the lighting in their workplaces. None of them is able to go into supermarkets or many other public places. Their lifestyles are limited and they cannot take part in the usual day-to-day activities that we all expect to be able to do because of low energy lighting. Other buildings such as theatres, churches and other public buildings are problems for them and are becoming more so with the increasing use of low energy lighting.
The people I see who are badly affected by low energy lighting are not affected by incandescent light bulbs, which are being withdrawn. Their problem is due to the increasing use of low energy lighting.
The problems are not only restricted to those who are badly affected. I am also seeing more and more patients who have had their eyes tested within the last 6 months or so. They come to me saying that their eye sight has become worse. I test their eyes and there is no change. My next question is have they changed the lighting in their house? The answer is always yes they have gone over to low energy lighting. I advise them to use incandescent bulbs, at least in the areas where they will be reading.
There are increasing problems in workplaces for people that I am seeing too as employers are encouraged to install low energy lighting.
These problems are not just for me with my patients but for all optometrists. The problem is becoming more widespread and needs to be addressed.

A preliminary investigation showed that ultraviolet radiation (UVR) emissions from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) can pose a risk to the skin of photosensitive individuals.
To carry out a larger-scale study, in patients with a range of photodermatoses, to assess this risk. To determine a safe alternative light source for photosensitive individuals. To investigate if CFL emissions have the potential to induce skin responses in normal individuals.
Two hundred patients were directly exposed to a single-envelope CFL as part of their routine management. Irradiation was carried out on the inner forearm with lamps positioned at 5 cm. Skin assessments were made immediately and 24 h postirradiation. Eleven of these patients were further tested to a double-envelope CFL. One hundred and one patients were tested to emissions from a light-emitting diode (LED). A study involving 20 healthy individuals was carried out with exposure to the single-envelope CFL.
Skin erythema was induced by the single-envelope CFL in the following cases: 16 of 53 chronic actinic dermatitis, seven of 52 polymorphic light eruption, five of nine solar urticaria, one of two actinic prurigo, one of one erythropoietic protoporphyria and two of 20 healthy subjects. The double-envelope CFL eliminated or reduced the skin response in all 11 patients tested. The LED did not induce any UVR-provoked skin responses.
UVR from CFLs can aggravate the skin of photosensitive and healthy individuals when situated in close proximity. Double-envelope lamps reduce this risk. LEDs offer a safer alternative light source that eliminates the risk of UVR-induced skin erythema.

It is helpful, in practicing the Sabbath, to follow the Jewish tradition of marking the beginning of the day with sundown. The Christian Sabbath would then begin on Saturday night. At sun down, welcome the rest of God and enter the darkness with a full sense of God's presence. Light candles to mark the presence of God.
The Day Begins

The first Legend Of Korra action figure is chibi-style, which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.
Either way, Good Smile's Nendoroid Korra is a pretty unique figure. It comes with water and fire accessories, and fans can pose Korra in a couple of different bending stances. And Korra's hair, believe it or not, also has several joints of articulation.
Check out more pics below.

Quick GuideWhat's Your Biggest Fear? Phobias
Are there home remedies for agoraphobia?
While people often explore and attempt to address anxiety with alternative treatments, sometimes described as home remedies, there remains a lack of large-scale, controlled scientific research to indicate a clear benefit of such interventions. Examples of oral alternative treatments include kava, Rhodiola, and tryptophan. Another challenge with these remedies is that there is little regulation of the doses and other ingredients for such substances. Lifestyle interventions that may help decrease anxiety include adhering to a healthy diet, regular exercise, engaging in meditation, and yoga.
What are the complications of agoraphobia?
Agoraphobia increases the likelihood that the person will also suffer from another anxiety disorder, like social or other phobias, panic disorder or anxiety associated with posttraumatic stress disorder. Agoraphobia also predisposes sufferers to having more severe and difficult to treat anxiety disorders of any kind. People with agoraphobia are more at risk for developing alcohol or other drug use disorders. Also, agoraphobia tends to occur more often in individuals who have a number of different physical conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and asthma. If not treated, agoraphobia may worsen to the point at which the person's life is seriously impacted by the disease itself and/or by attempts to avoid or hide it. In fact, some people have had problems with loved ones, failed in school, and/or lost jobs while trying to cope with severe agoraphobia or another severe phobia.
What is the prognosis for agoraphobia?
While there may be periods of spontaneous improvement of symptoms for people with agoraphobia, it does not usually go away unless the person receives treatment specifically for agoraphobia sufferers. Some research has indicated a more chronic and debilitating course of agoraphobia in African-American individuals compared to Caucasians. One significant challenge of agoraphobia is revealed by the statistics related to treatment. Specifically, less than half of individuals with this condition in the United States are receiving treatment at any one time. Further, alcoholics can be up to 10 times more likely to suffer from a phobia than those who do not have alcohol use disorder, and phobic individuals can be twice as likely to be addicted to alcohol as are people who have never been phobic.
