If you're a user of Windows Phone 7 you'll be delighted to know that you'll have the long awaited 7.5 Mango update by the end of October. With more than 500 new features, Mango is the first big update to the platform and the rollout starts today.
One of the biggest improvements to an already tidy OS is the addition of multitasking. Where Windows Phone 7 had very limited multitasking functionality, Mango allows apps to pootle along simultaneously so things like Twitter will run while you check your email.
The already good synchronisation of data gets even better too thanks to deep integration with apps like Facebook. Fire up the 'People' tab and whether it's from your address book, Google contacts, Facebook or Twitter, Mango harvests all available data and mashes it up into one fully synched contact.
The software will need installing through a PC so if you can't wait to get it up and running on your handset, you can get ahead of the game by updating the installer on your computer.
You might also want to get that handset backed up so you're all ready to go as soon as the Mango package drops.

So far so good Have only used it once but, so far, it works very well. D* needed an app that was decent and this may just do it. Very good start.
Leon Ford
I'm not sure if the words native and webapp really go together, but I think it is currently the best diaspora client for android. I did find the new post button a little annoying after a while though.
Ramdziana F Y
I use in Samsung Galaxy Duos SM-G130H, it works flawlessly except image upload button. I never able to post image from this app. It will get more rate if this problem fixed.
Vik Olliver
Overall, good Minor niggles: (+) button covers [Reply] button in messages. No "share" option to cross-post to other social media.
Forgets password After an amount of time this app forgets my login details and I can't login, I use complex passwords for security so this makes the app somewhat unusable.
Mr Kinyras
Facebook can go screw itself For months I've been looking for an alternative to Facebook that didn't bank off of selling my personal information to corporations. Zuckerberg had a cool idea but sold out its users sense of privacy. I want that real freedom back, so I switched to Diaspora. So far so good, hopefully we continue to grow as a platform, spread the word as much as you can! I'm doing it!

This happens when you add a Facebook Page as an 'Other pages' page and not as a 'Page you own'. Here is why...
When you add Facebook pages to Social Report you are first taken to Facebook where you get a chance to give Social Report necessary permissions to gain access to your administered pages. When you acknowledge of requested permissions you are taken back and offered several options on what specifically you would like to track.
At this point, you can simply pick the specific profiles you would like to be added to your dashboard.
IMPORTANT: if you are an admin of your page, the page will show up in the 'Pages you own" section.
If pages you are an administrator of do not show in this 'Pages you own' section, there are few possibilities for why this might be:
- Are you logged in with the correct Facebook personal account? Try this: go to Facebook, logout, go back to Social Report, and try adding the Facebook page now - this time making sure that you are logged in with the correct Facebook account
- Is it possible that when you were authenticating for the first time - you have unchecked/removed certain permissions from what we have asked for? If you have, fixing it is easy. Go to Facebook, click Settings > Apps and remove Social Report from the list. Then go back to Social Report and re-add your pages. You will be prompted for authentication one more time. Please make sure not to uncheck any permissions this time.
- If you don't own this page - please make sure that you are still an admin. You may need to contact the page owner. You can also check that in Facebook under Settings.
If this does not help - please contact support and we can troubleshoot this further for you.

Pharmacovigilance program to monitor adverse reactions of recombinant streptokinase in acute myocardial infarction
Streptokinase (SK) is an effective fibrinolytic agent for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The objective of the present study was to assess the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with intravenous recombinant SK in patients with AMI in routine clinical practice.
A national, prospective and spontaneous reporting-based pharmacovigilance program was conducted in Cuba. Patient demographics, suspected ADR description, elements to define causality, and outcomes were documented and analyzed.
A total of 1496 suspected ADRs identified in 792 patients out of the 1660 (47.7 %) prescriptions reported in the program, were received from July 1995 to July 2002. Most of the patients (71.3%) were male, 67.2% were white and mean age was 61.6 ± 13.0 years. The mean time interval between the onset of symptoms and the start of the SK infusion was 4.9 ± 3.7 h. The most frequently reported ADRs were hypotension, arrhythmias, chills, tremors, vomiting, nauseas, allergy, bleeding and fever. ADR severity was 38% mild, 38% moderate, 10% severe, and 4% very severe. Only 3 patients with hemorrhagic stroke were reported. Seventy-two patients died in-hospital mainly because of cardiac causes associated with the patient's underlying clinical condition. Mortality was 3 times more likely in patients suffering arrhythmias than in those without this event (odds ratio 3.1, 95% CI: 1.8 to 5.1). Most of the reported ADRs were classified as possibly or probably associated with the study medication.
Recombinant SK was associated with a similar post-marketing safety profile to those suggested in previous clinical trials.
Streptokinase (SK) is an indirect fibrinolytic agent that interacts with plasminogen, forming an active complex with protease activity that converts plasminogen to plasmin
A SK produced by recombinant DNA techniques (rSK) has been evaluated previously in clinical trials in AMI patients. The first studies suggested that rSK produced the same benefits that were described for natural SK
Clinical trials are usually conducted on a limited number of patients with restrict selection and handling criteria and thus only the most frequent reactions are identified. Postmarketing monitoring is an important procedure to detect some reactions that can become apparent only when the drug is used in a large and varied population. Therefore, an active surveillance program provides a vital service to the heath care system to identify and assess early warning signals, and when appropriate, to take preventive actions to minimize the deleterious effects of drugs.
An adequate safety profile for rSK was observed in clinical trials but it was unknown whether similar results would be found in routine clinical practice. This concern was particularly important for rSK given its nature as a fibrinolytic drug, the potential antigenic capacity due to its bacterial origin, the novelty of the product production process, and its use in emergency situations. Therefore, the further extension of this treatment in Cuba was monitored through an appropriate pharmacovigilance program with the aim to assess rSK safety in AMI patients in routine practice. This paper reports the analysis of data collected after 7 years of such surveillance system implementation.
A national, prospective and spontaneous reporting-based pharmacovigilance study was conducted in Cuba. This study was extended to the 14 provinces throughout the different levels of the healthcare system, including municipal, provincial, and clinical-surgical hospitals as well as third-level specialized cardiology units. An adverse drug reaction (ADR) report form was designed. It explicitly asked for the most commonly rSK-associated ADRs and also requested for other reactions. The Clinical Trials Division of the Center for Biological Research and the National Network of Pharmacoepidemiology (NNP) were responsible for the distribution to the hospital services, gathering and quality assessment of ADR report forms. This network is coordinated by the Centre for the Development of Pharmacoepidemiology and its National Coordinating Unit of Pharmacovigilance, as previously described
The rSK (Heberkinasa, Heber Biotec, Havana) studied in this pharmacovigilance system is indicated in AMI as soon as possible, before 12 hours of symptoms onset, in patients without contraindications for thrombolysis. The recommended dose is 1 500 000 IU during 1 hour, through a peripheral vein infusion. Suspected ADRs were identified by physicians through a direct patient evaluation during and after SK administration, as part of the AMI patient assessment. Patient demographics, time between symptom onset and SK infusion, concomitant therapy, outcome (if death and cause of death) and ADR description, including duration, severity, treatment and need for discontinuation, were documented.
An ADR was defined as any noxious, unintended, and undesired effect of a drug that was observed at doses usually administered therapeutically in humans. The medical terminology such as signs and symptoms definition as well as disease or syndrome diagnostic criteria was left to the attending physicians' judgment so that it could reflect routine clinical practice. A temporal or possible association was sufficient for a report to be made.
A qualitative assessment was used to classify the causal relationship as definite, probable, possible or doubtful
The severity of ADRs was classified in four levels: (1) mild if no therapy was necessary, (2) moderate if needed specific treatment, (3) severe when hospitalization or its prolongation was required, and (4) very severe if a reaction was potentially life-threatening or contributed to patient's death.
The causality assessment, as well as the severity analysis, were undertaken by members of the NNP taking into account the reporting physician's criteria, and were further reviewed by the responsible investigators.
The study was sanctioned by the Scientific Committee of the Center for Biological Research. As the study did not involve any intervention apart from the usual medical procedures, and confidentiality of the subjects was maintained, ethics approval and patients' informed consent were not required. The analysis of all ADRs was reported to the National Regulatory Authority.
Data management and statistical analyses
Databases were double-entered and validated on Microsoft Visual FoxPro version 5.0 and then imported into SPSS version 11.5 for further analysis. Continuous variables are given as means ± standard deviations (SD), whereas discrete variables are given as frequency distributions. Univariate analyses were performed to identify the variables that could influence on adverse reactions and mortality. The analyses were assessed by the χ2 or Fisher's exact tests, depending on the minimum expected values of the tables. A logistic regression analysis was done with variables that resulted statistically significant. The level of significance chosen was p = 0.05.
A total of 1660 notifications of SK prescriptions was received from July 1995 to July 2002 from 50 hospitals. Of them, 792 (47.7%) reported suspected ADRs. The baseline characteristics of the patients are shown in Table

We found 1496 suspected ADRs identified in 792 patients (1.9 ADRs per patient). The most frequent rSK-related ADRs were hypotension, arrhythmias, chills, tremors, vomiting, and nauseas (Table

* % of total patients with ADR, n = 792.
The causality assessment showed that 1419 (94.9%) of the total ADRs were classified as possibly associated with the study medication. Probable and doubtful associations were considered in 63 (4.2%) and 6 (0.4%) of suspected reactions, respectively. Definite reactions were only confirmed in one patient with allergic reactions. The information about eight adverse events was not sufficient for a proper causality assessment.
Of the overall number of suspected ADRs, severity was classified as mild in 564 (37.7%), moderate in 573 (38.3%), severe in 149 (10.0%), and 63 (4.2%) were very severe. Severity was not classified in 147 (9.8%) reactions. Considering the maximal severity to which the patient was exposed, 53 (6.7%) subjects had at least one very severe reaction, which was described for hypotension, arrhythmias and hemorrhage. Of the remaining patients, 104 (13.1%) were exposed to at least one severe reaction.
Definitive discontinuation due to ADRs was observed in 54 (6.8% of those with ADRs) patients. Hypotension, arrhythmias and vomiting were the main causes of treatment withdrawal. Hypotension was also the ADR most frequently leading to temporal SK infusion discontinuation, which was required for the adequate control of 27.7% of the patients experiencing this reaction. The appropriate management of this event included infusion rate reduction, infusion discontinuation, Trendelenburg's position, volume expansion and vasopressors.
ADR occurrence was related to the time between symptoms onset and SK infusion, both in univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients who received SK ≤ 3 hours were more likely to have any ADR as compared to those receiving the infusion after 3 hours (odds ratio 1.5, 95% CI: 1.2 – 1.8). Individual analysis for each suspected ADR showed that arrhythmias were the most time-influenced, being more frequent this event in patients who received SK ≤ 3 h (95% CI: 1.26 – 2.18). The same was true for hypotension (1.08 – 1.85), chills (1.11 – 2.08), and vomiting (1.13 – 2.18). Multivariate analyses confirmed these associations for arrhythmias and hypotension, but for chills and vomiting none of the models obtained were reliable.
Out of the 1660 patients reported, 72 (4.3%) died. Death causes are summarized in Table
Table 3

Univariate analyses with baseline variables showed that mortality was directly related to older age (p = 1.0 × 10-7) and female gender (p = 1.7 × 10-4). Patients recorded as dead were 10.1 (95% CI: 7.0 to 13.2) years older than survivors. None of the logistic regression models for the multivariate analysis of the effect of age and gender on mortality was adequate, probably due to the small number of deaths in the sample. Arrhythmias was the only suspected ADR significantly related with death (p = 4.2 × 10-5). Mortality was 3 times more probable in patients suffering arrhythmias than in those without this event (odds ratio 3.1, 95% CI: 1.8 to 5.1).
This pharmacovigilance study was performed to further investigate the rSK safety profile in the treatment of AMI patients in clinical practice. Although a national, spontaneous reporting scheme for monitoring all market drugs exists in Cuba, rSK surveillance operated as a separate national system. Using a different ADR report form, this system provided specific information about a thrombolytic drug that otherwise was not possible to obtain (e.g. symptom-infusion time) and also contributed to encourage the number of reports. Results of this study showed a post-marketing safety profile for rSK similar to those suggested in previous clinical trials.
Spontaneous reporting is the most widely used method for pharmacovigilance, but is associated with considerable under-reporting rate
Time between symptoms and infusion is a critical variable for success of thrombolysis
Some deviations from the approved indications were observed in routine clinical practice. Although rSK has been approved for routine use within 12 h, 18 patients were reported as receiving the drug after 12 h of symptoms onset. On other hand, the proportions of patients that received aspirin and beta blockers were smaller than previously reported in TERIMA-2 study, where a significant benefit was demonstrated for both drugs.
The most frequent suspected ADRs associated to rSK therapy were hypotension and arrhythmias. This is consistent with the safety profile observed in previous clinical trials. Both events can also be explained by AMI physiopathology and sometimes by other concomitant drugs, so it was difficult to establish a casual relationship with the study medication and all were classified as possible. Hypotension has been described as a transient event that can be related to SK infusion rate
Bleeding was notified in 43 patients, of whom only 8 were considered as serious. Hemorrhagic stroke, which is the most severe bleeding complication of fibrinolytic therapy, was reported only in 3 patients (all fatal). This is consistent with the low hemorrhagic stroke rate observed previously in the TERIMA-2 trial (0.3%).
Because SK is an antigenic bacterial protein, physicians need to be aware that some patients experience allergic reactions. Following rSK administration, a significant increase of anti-SK antibodies binding and neutralization titers persisting for 6 months or more have been described
According to the definitions used in this study, at least 19.8% of patients with ADR had a serious one (sum of severe and very severe ADRs). This relatively high proportion is a tendency of spontaneous reporting schemes, since under-reporting involves mainly the less severe and the well known effects
Definite reaction assessment was difficult because SK is administered once and rechallenge information is usually not available. Also, many of the SK associated reactions can be explained by concurrent diseases or other drugs as well. Ideally, both, the causality assessment and severity analysis should have been performed by two individuals at the investigation site, separately and then agreement determined. This was not done for practical reasons, since there was only one NNP member at each hospital and thus the evaluation had to be done by this person considering the criteria from the reporting physician, with the subsequent bias derived from application of subjective scales.
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or its derivatives are recommended by ACC/AHA guidelines to be used in patients who present early after onset of chest pain or symptoms and in those with previous administration of streptokinase and at low risk of intracranial hemorrhage
The favorable safety profile achieved with rSK in this and previous studies, together with its demonstrated efficacy and its adequate cost, justifies the extension of this treatment in clinical practice as a reperfusion therapy for AMI patients. Recent reports about deviations from quality of different SK preparations
As in other countries, ischemic heart disease is the major cause of death in Cuba (18.8% of all deaths in 2004; 135.4 per 100000 inhabitants)
In this study, no new signals of previously unknown adverse events were reported, and the nature and severity of the reported events were consistent with information known about rSK from clinical trials. New directions about thrombolysis are emerging in the country, including the use of a new albumin-free formulation

Divide among NBA players about decertification
The NBA lockout grows more surreal and volatile by the day.
The National Basketball Players Association leaders professed unity for its cause and support for NBPA president Derek Fisher on Thursday.
At the same time Thursday, another group of players participated in a conference call with an antitrust attorney to learn more about decertification, according to two people familiar with the call but who requested anonymity because of the sensitive nature of labor negotiations.
The conference call and talk of decertification puts even more pressure and focus on the NBPA and adds even more unpredictability to the NBPA's scheduled bargaining session with the NBA on Saturday.
The good vibes that emerged briefly last week have been replaced by uncertainty and the prospect of pandemonium.
"It presents problems for the entire process," Tulane law professor and sports law expert Gabe Feldman said. "We could be looking at the potential breakdown of the collective bargaining process.
"And if — again, this is a big if — if decertification actually happens this, would be a coup of the union. This would overthrow the union because a sufficient number of the players are unhappy with the union's representation of the players."
Decertification comes with complications.
One person familiar with the decertification conference call said the concern is that going through with the decertification process would almost ensure a lost season at this point in the lockout.
Also, with the NBPA's complaint against the NBA with the National Labor Relations Board still pending, Feldman said the NBPA could be barred from decertifying until the complaint is resolved.
Feldman also said the threat of decertification to gain leverage is a strategy just as much as actual decertification.
"When you think about what leverage players have, part of their leverage is proving to the owners they can stay unified during a work stoppage and particularly that they can stay unified when they're missing paychecks," Feldman said. "Beyond that, their leverage is the threat of dissolving their union, and it may be that dissolution is more powerful as a threat than an actual weapon.
"The mere public discussion and mere possibility of decertification may be sufficient to get the owners to move."
Maybe decertification threats provide leverage in this weekend's negotiations. Maybe not.
"For litigation to play out, it would take years. I don't think that would be in the interest of the players," Feldman said. "Lawsuits are filed and settled before they go to trial. It might bring the parties closer together. We saw the same thing happen in the NFL. That case wasn't litigated to its fruition."
There is a difference between what the NFL did and what NBA players might consider regarding decertification. In the NFL's case, union leaders disclaimed interest and the union dissolved.
In decertification, workers are saying it no longer wants representation from the union.
"Decertification is more like a coup, more like the members of the union say they no longer want to be represented by the union and are opting out of the union. It's the players walking away from the union," Feldman said. "In disclaimer of interest, it's the union saying they no longer want to represent the players."
Decertification requires a formal process with the NLRB. At least 30% of workers in the union (about 125 NBA players) need to sign a petition to decertify. If that happens, a vote to decertify is conducted by the NLRB. To decertify, at least 50% of players must vote for it.
Decertification is also risky. Players would lose protection from labor laws that a union provides, and there is no guarantee decertification leads to a favorable deal for players.
The sides met this week in U.S. district court to discuss the merits of a complaint filed by the NBA against the NBPA, which wants the suit dismissed. In that suit, the NBA requested a declaration "that the lockout is lawful and protected from antitrust attack" because of "non-statutory labor exemption."
The NBA also requested a declaration that "the Norris-LaGuardia Act deprives the federal courts of jurisdiction to enjoin or restrain the lockout."
Also in the federal complaint, the NBA wants to "establish, among other things, that the NBA's lockout does not violate federal antitrust laws and that if the Players Association's 'decertification' were found to be lawful, all existing player contracts would become void and unenforceable."
If the union dissolves, it would allow players to pursue antitrust lawsuits and perhaps gain leverage and force owners into a deal that isn't so lopsided in favor of owners.
However, the NBA's court filings only addressed a disclaimer of interest in their complaint.
"Players would argue the declaratory judgment action in New York would not apply if the players decertified their union, as opposed to the union disclaiming interest in representing the players," Feldman said. "They would argue those are two different scenarios. The owners only argued, in their papers, the disclaimer of interest would be ineffective or a sham or would not allow the players to bring an antitrust claim.
"It would be very difficult for the owners to make an argument that there was any imminent threat of decertification, because there had really been no talk of decertification. There had only been talk of disclaimer. … The owners might argue there is no real distinction there."
However, Feldman said, "This could conceivably move the owners to try to amend their complaint with the federal district court in New York to add decertification to their complaint."

A-mazing! Congrats!
Those chains welded together for this to work right. Pretty awesome man.
This is amazing! Are the chains keeping him from floating/flying away, or are they pulling him down?
Awesome, really beautiful
this is sick
this reminds me of either a person free falling in this pose or it's an upside down imagery to someone being on their back while on a swing.
either way, it's fucking brilliant regardless

This piece is very impressive. It looks almost impossible to have this pose suspended in this way, but you not only manage it, you make it look beautiful.
good job!
love the tension in the chains.

That's incredible! I like it!
Great artwork!
Very cool. It's like a person trying to break free and fly.
this is amazing
this is really amazing! i love the concept and your style. The subject is so fluid and flexible and organic the way it is positioned! I am really curious how it's staying up (?)
Congrats on the DD
Congrats on the DD
The chain links are welded together to become rods that hold it up.
That's cool, im actually more surprised that they have the strength to hold the entire statue up, i have no clue on such things though so it's really intriguing for me!
The statue probably doesn't actually weigh all that much. It is just thin steel plate welded together to make a shell in the shape of the person.
Wow!! Gorgeous sculpture and I love the concept. You really deserved this DD. Congratulations
Falling upwards to Heaven but chained to the Earth? This makes me wonder about the meaning behind it ^^ Cool *faves*
What a beautiful piece of work.
It makes me wonder on what's the message behind this piece.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
If you walk into a Valley bakery and ask for mandel bread (instead of biscotti) or challah (rather than egg bread), some folks around here might think you're a little meshugana. But not the staff at Karsh's. They've run the Jewish bakery in town for decades, providing the city with rugalach, bagels and onion rolls. You can get the best black-and-white cookie around at Karsh's, and they'll even bake you a wedding cake or a birthday cake with your mug on it. Without official rabbinical blessings, the place isn't technically kosher (it's open on Saturdays, an obvious no-no but an even more obvious "yes," given that Karsh's is trying to run a business in a not-so-Jewish town!) but it does use kosher products and honors kosher baking practices.
That's kosher enough for us! Pass the rye.
When we stepped into this chic Seventh Avenue secondhand shop, it was as if a time machine had transported us back to an era when the Chairman of the Board ruled the world and cocktail culture was king. In our disorientation, we decided it was time to ditch our trendy obsession with '80s fashion and get a style that's more Rat Pack than Brat Pack.
Goodwill and vintage clothiers can be hit-or-miss, but our newfound friends at Retro Redux aren't; they clearly know which estate sales to hit, as there are ample samples of swanky suits and other attire from the Camelot era. Bingo, baby, we just found a smoking jacket worthy of Hef himself, as well as a two-piece sharkskin number with just the right amount of shine. To go along with our Chez Nous style, we acquired a pair of two-tone wingtips, a cigarette case, cufflinks, and enough martini shakers, quadraphonic stereo equipment, and copies of Look magazine to remake our apartment into one shagadelic bachelor pad.
We confess. As much as we live for the exhilaration of the table games like Texas Hold'em and blackjack at the multitude of casinos in the Valley, we sometimes like to simply slip off to the slots section with a few dozen rolls of nickels, for a slower-paced way of wasting our kid's college fund. Many a lost weekend has been spent in front of these one-armed bandits, working the levers in a zombie-like rapture, and feeding in loose change until our fingers have been dirtied by the coins. Many casinos try to get us spending with machines featuring various licensed properties like The Addams Family or The Price Is Right. Frankly, we're sickened by this crass commercialization, and prefer the more generic -- yet still exciting -- slot machines produced by Atronic Casino Technology, a Scottsdale-based company that produces themed slots with thrilling names like "Angels & Devils CASH FEVER" and "Black Thunder." They've got all the bells and whistles of an ordinary machine, but without the endorsement of Bob Barker.
If only Atronic would offer public tours of its headquarters, so we could learn some tricks to landing that one gigantic progressive jackpot that's been eluding us. After all, baby needs a full ride to Rutgers.
Phoenix is a city of pawnshops and drive-through liquor stores. There seems to be one or the other on every corner, thus allowing you to pawn that Rolex, then cruise on down the street to grab a bottle of Maker's Mark without ever having to get out of your BMW. Brilliant, eh? Of course, not all drive-through liquor stores are created equal, and the best in town is also one of the best liquor stores in general, Sportsman's Fine Wines and Spirits at 32nd Street and Camelback Road. The folks at Sportsman's are serious cork dorks, likker geeks, and so on, with an outstanding selection of wines and spirits from all over the world, which makes for a combo of brains and product that can't be beat. This ain't the sort of place you roll up on to purchase a case of PBR. No, sir. But if you can't recall the name of that Argentine Cabernet you went gaga over at the last wine tasting, and want to grab a couple of liters without getting out of your Spiderman pajamas, then Sportsman's drive-through window is for you.
So you've dumped all your hard-earned nicks into Lobstermania, Betty Boop's Big Hit, and Wheel of Fortune machines, and you're feeling lower than William H. Macy's loser character in The Cooler. You're down to your last few bucks -- just enough for a Lone Star and a lone butt. Where to go in Phoenix that would perfectly mirror the murky mood created by your losing streak and let you anonymously score both cig and swig without having to get out of your car?
Try Hermanos Liquor and Market, a dive of a drive-through liquor/convenience mart in downtown Phoenix. Reminiscent of a funky 1940s film noir movie set, Hermanos caters to a clientele on its last few fumes. The night we drove through this picaresque pit stop, we were entertained by what appeared to be several ladies of nocturnal endeavors looking for a loosy and a bleary-eyed guy with a brown paper bag way worse off than we were. You couldn't buy this kind of ambiance even if you had all the moola back you just fed to those money-sucking machines.
We're always crunched for time these days, so to free up spots on our schedule, we've combined two of our main passions: boozing and buying. Since the security fascists at Scottsdale Fashion Square wouldn't let us flit around with Fat Tires in our fists, we're gonna try purchasing while plastered on Wednesday evenings and during the day from Fridays through Sundays at the Valley's largest outdoor swap meet. Food vendors serve up drafts like Budweiser Select and Coors Light in 16-ounce cups for $2.50 (or "The Big One," a bladder-busting 24-ouncer, for $5), as well as cans of Budweiser and Bud Light for $3, and imports like Tecate and Corona for $3. Golf carts loaded with giant kegs of Miller Lite and Miller High Life also cruise the rows, meeting you while you're haggling over cowboy hats, baseball bats, or statues of cats. A vast collection of other marked-down merchandise is also in abundance, be it dirt-cheap video games, boundless bling-bling jewelry, affordably priced Chuck Taylors, or a hardware-store-size selection of new and used tools.
Avoid stumbling into any stacks of home electronics, however, because if you break it, you buy it.

disclaimer: insert witty disclaimer here.
dedication: to emily, because i know you hate this pairing. also to eleni. hay girl haaaay.
notes: LuciusNarcissa what. also, i kind of love Rodolphus. hiiiiii.
title: sticks, stones, and hairpins
summary: The way she hissed "I am going to stab your eye out," did not freak him out. Seriously. Lucius/Narcissa.
Narcissa looked out at the world through the highest window in the Owlery. The early summer sky was finally, finally dusky—the stars were shining weakly in the east as the sun set far, far away. Tucked up with a blanket in the castle's highest tower, she sat with her knees to her chest, the summer wind in her hair.
Lovely Narcissa, the youngest of the female Blacks; she was the golden girl, the faerie princess who sat up in the top of the highest tower and surveyed her subjects with a benevolent eye. That's what they called her—her and her aloofness, like she was better than them all. Princess, princess Narcissa, bow for the princess!
"What are you doing up here, Cissy?" asked a gently familiar voice.
Narcissa looked up, and blinked at her older sister.
Andromeda smiled at the littlest Black, and sat down. "What, don't I even warrant a hello?"
Narcissa stared out the Owlery window, incensed. "I hate him, Andy. I hate him."
"Who? That Potter boy Sirius spends all his time with?"
"No, Malfoy!" Narcissa burst out, throwing small hands into the air. "I can't stand him, Andy, I just can't!"
Andromeda stared at the small blonde girl, a grin working its way to her lips. "Lucius Malfoy? The Lucius Malfoy? Merlin's saggy left buttock, what were you doing talking to him?"
Narcissa gnashed her teeth. "Language, Andy. And I wasn't—talking to him, precisely. I was doing homework. And I wasn't even—even bothering anyone, Andy, I—I was just—just wor-working on m-my e-essay—"
And with that, she dissolved into hiccoughs-that-could-be-mistaken-for-sobs.
Andromeda reached out, and pulled her younger sister against her side. "Oh, Cissa, shush, sweet, it's alright, I'm right here. What did that nasty boy say to you?"
Narcissa shook her head, wiping angry tears out of her eyes. "He didn't even—" she paused, to draw seething air into her lungs "—say anything. Not really. Not to me, anyway."
"What did he say about you?"
Narcissa smiled in a vicious way, her gaze far away. "Mudblood-lover, he said."
A hiss escaped Andromeda.
(They both hated that word.)
"Just because I'm friends with Lily Evans! She's really nice, Andy, and we have three classes together, and—! It's not fair. He's so mean. To everyone. I can't stand him!"
There was a steely glint in Andromeda's eye. "Narcissa Eveline Black, is that fear I detect?"
Narcissa's jaw dropped. She shoved blonde locks out of her eyes, outraged. "How can you even say that, Andy?"
"Then why are you sitting here moaning about him? Go teach him a lesson! Merlin knows Bella's taught you enough—she's threatened to hex his bollocks off often enough, he ought to know that wanking about our family is not the smartest thing he could possibly do."
Narcissa clenched her jaw and shook her head. "He's just… so big, Andy."
Andromeda snorted inelegantly. "I know a certain groundskeeper at home who cowers at your very presence. That man is neither coward nor fool nor small. I dunno what you're worried about, honestly."
"Everyone else."
Andromeda looked down at the top of her younger sister's golden head. "Cissy, everyone else is commonplace. They're all weak. You aren't."
"Aren't I?"
Narcissa stared out of the Owlery again, eyes hard and cold, like shining bits of ice. Andromeda couldn't help but smile at that look; it was the look Narcissa always got just before she was about to do something she found rather unpleasant.
"Well. Thank you, Andy. I—"
Andromeda smiled, and shooed the girl off. "Go on, then. Give him the verbal thrashing of his life."
Narcissa nodded and smiled a little. Andromeda had always made so much sense—much more so than Bella ever did. Bella's solution was always the same; "Cut out his tongue, Cissy, it'll teach him a lesson."
But Andromeda… if there was one thing that Andromeda had taught Narcissa, it was that the best way to seek revenge was to hit where it hurt; hit where it hurt, hit in the dark, and make sure that it was quick, vicious, and painful.
Narcissa could do quick, vicious, and painful.
And so she would.
Narcissa nodded once more in her older sister's direction, and zipped out of the Owlery. She had work to do, if she was going to put Lucius Malfoy in his place.
Andromeda grinned as the little girl disappeared with a flash of blonde hair.
That was the Narcissa she knew.
Narcissa contemplated having him tarred and feathered, only to decide that that was a little too much work.
And that it would be far too easy to be caught.
So instead, she went to find Lily Evans.
It was probably the best idea she'd ever had. The two girls sat outside under a willow tree at dusk
"Just sit there? But, Lily, that's when—"
"'Xactly, Ciss! Think about it! In front of all his mates! Oooh, what I wouldn't give…"
Narcissa giggled a little. Lily Evans was a fantastic way to kill some time. She was smart and funny and she and Narcissa got along famously.
Narcissa would never understand being dirty.
Someone like Lily couldn't be dirty.
The issue of purity would forever confuse her—and it seemed like she was the only one. Bella was very clear on where she stood on the issue; Blood Purist Because Those Nasty Mudbloods Are Out To Taint Us All. Andromeda was even more clear; You Blood Purists Are Stupid Get Away From Me.
Little Narcissa had long ago resigned herself to the fact that she would never understand. She had also long ago resigned herself to the fact that her family would probably never get along on that point. Andromeda would always be the odd one out, and that made Narcissa just the littlest bit sad.
She looked over at Lily. "So that's it, then?"
Lily grinned, eyes green and bright and flashing in the early summer sun. "That's it, then."
And so Narcissa took Lily's advice.
She took her books and five rolls of parchment and twelve different quills, and sat down at her usual homework table in the corner. She settled down to work on her History of Magic essay; Binns may have been ancient, but Narcissa hated handing things in late.
Getting this essay done was a priority.
Narcissa ignored the fact that it wasn't due for a week.
It was all part of Lily's Magnificent Plan To Humiliate And Properly Bring Down Lucius Malfoy.
Narcissa mused that she would never know why on earth she'd allowed ever allowed Lily to open her mouth. Actually, she sometimes thought that she'd never understand why she was friends with Lily, at all.
And then Malfoy walked in through the dungeon's door, and Narcissa remembered.
That was why.
Narcissa concentrated on keeping her head down, eyes trained on the roll of parchment in front of her, quill dripping ink. Do not move, she reminded herself. Do not move until he says something.
And she waited.
And waited.
But not at all that long.
Because after he'd dumped his books on some unfortunate first year, he looked about the room in the usual search for someone to pick on. Narcissa felt the hiss and sizzle of anticipation as his gaze landed on her neck.
Breathe, Cissy, breathe, she told herself. Despite it all, she held her breath and waited.
"Look, boys, it's our little princess! Isn't she radiant, today?" he snarked. The usual derision was layered thickly, today.
Narcissa struggled not to roll her eyes. Come here, you great lug, I'll gut you.
"Oh, princess, won't you give us the time of day?" he asked, and Narcissa could hear every step he took. The common room had gotten quiet, just as it always did; Bella wasn't back from NEWT-level Potions, and Andromeda hated the common room anyway and spent very little time there.
"Let them eat cake," she murmured absently, looking for all the world too deeply engrossed in her essay to notice or care what anyone else had to say about her. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Severus Snape; he looked a faint bit green.
What fun, Narcissa thought, disdainful.
"Do you want something, Malfoy?" Narcissa snapped. She jerked her head up, blue eyes blazing, and glared up at him with all her might.
"Just to gain your favour, princess." The stupid grin plastered on his stupid face incensed her.
Narcissa tried to remember The Plan.
It wasn't working out so well.
Narcissa pushed herself away from the table, and rose very, very slowly. She brushed clouds of blonde hair out of her vision, fingers catching on the jewelled hairpin nestled in the blonde depths. As she did, a new plan formed in her head in a flash of insight.
With practiced ease, Narcissa pulled the pin from her hair, and tucked her hands behind her back. If she was lucky, he hadn't seen it.
Lucius eyed her suspiciously. He'd never seen her stand her ground before, and the entire common room knew it.
Narcissa smiled viciously to herself.
They had all better get used to it.
"You don't want my favour, Malfoy. You don't want anyone's favour. You want fear and respect, but… you know… you can't have both."
Lucius stared at her, grey gaze cold.
Silently, Narcissa raged. He dare call her princess?
"Shows what you know, Lady Black," he sneered.
Narcissa tipped her head at him. He was sixteen, and thought he was so important.
Well. Narcissa was thirteen, and she was going to show him.
She strode up to him and stood in front of him, hands on her hips. "You are despicable," she told him.
He loomed over her; he had three years and a foot and a half of height on her, but that was not going to stop Narcissa. She smiled up at him for a minute, innocence incarnate, and she knew that he thought he had her.
And then she kicked him in the shin.
Lucius doubled over, swearing loudly about Merlin's unmentionables. Narcissa grabbed him by the ear, dragged him down to her level and brandished the hairpin at him. She hissed "I am going to stab your eyes out."
It did not freak him out.
"You leave me alone, do you understand? I don't need protection from Bella or Andy or anyone. You bully everyone around here, Malfoy, and I won't stand for it!" Narcissa pulled back, and glared around at them all. "That goes for all of you. You leave me alone!"
The silence was deafening. The common room stared, half horrified, half in awe. Narcissa let out an angry "hmph!"
And with that, Narcissa whirled and gathered her books. She pranced away, chin held high as the curtain of pale gold that was her hair whipped around her. There was grace and fire in her step as she went up to her dormitory.
Lucius watched her go. Listened to her footsteps after he couldn't see her anymore.
And thought that, perhaps, he had just met his match.

Car Crashes into Huntington Business, Leaves Gaping Hole
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A two-car crash Wednesday afternoon sent one of the cars through the walls of a massage therapy office near the intersection of 6th Avenue and 7th Street.
At least one person was taken to the hospital after the crash, which left a gaping hole in the business. It happened about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Suzanne Ellis, who was inside the business, said she heard the original crash and ran outside to see what was going on.
"And so it looked like it was coming this direction and I didn't know where," Ellis said. "My car was parked out front. I thought it was going to hit my car, so I closed the door and started moving away from the door because I didn't know where it was going to come."
