Los Angeles thieves nabbed with 'find my phone' app
LOS ANGELES — Police in California probing an armed robbery arrested two suspects by using the "Find My Phone" app on her stolen iPhone to locate the device, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The female victim told officers that a gunman had taken her purse and iPhone, which had the tracking application installed, said Norma Eisenman of the Los Angeles Police Department.
"A local citizen offered his assistance, and allowed the use of his computer, which allowed the officers to track the iPhone to the vicinity of 11th Street and Ardmore Avenue," Eisenman said.
Police went to the area, about four miles (6.5 kilometers) from the crime scene, and a short time later saw a man matching the suspect's description.
"The male was detained, and officers discovered an iPhone in his pocket," Eisenman said. "The victim's cell number was dialed and it rang," confirming that the phone was the stolen device.
Jason Topper, 34, was arrested for armed robbery, and the purse and a replica gun were also found after the incident last week. Officers later arrested a 21-year-old female charged with receiving stolen property.

Hunters really are ruthless this time around, the approach for taking them out is the same as it ever was (get up close, get them to melee at you, dodge, shoot them in the back), but their wide range of moves makes it really hard to predict, plus the fact that they're always in pair makes it a complete bitch. That said having a friend playing with you helps a lot. I usually just sneak past them when I'm on my own and spot them in the Mombasa hub level.

My 99 ford taurus is still running hot. I have replaced the radiator, the thermostat, the starter, the battery, all within the past month.I have flushed the system 3 times when I replaced the radiator. Now it still runs hot when I turn on the A/C or when I drive it for more than 20-30 mins. There are no leaks and it has plenty of coolant. Both fans are working. Also my A/C won't run on low, only on high I have replaced the A/C fan and the receptor in the glove compartment and it blew on low for 2 min then stopped. I don't know what else to do!
have the same problem?

Am I blue?
Nope. I'm not blue.
But my pretty new pottery is.
And my new Mountain Yucca is as well.
You know how sometimes you do something with a space and then stop, but feel like it still needs a little "something-something?"
That's how I've felt about the day lily bed. It's a small space with limitations (access to the air conditioner and the breakfast room windows).
But it felt hollow in the middle. Probably because there was a big hole there!
Sitting at breakfast this weekend it occurred to me that a big 'ol blue pot with a big 'ol blue agave would look right nice in there.
And it does!
I made a quick run today to The Natural Gardener, where I knew I could find both items (and a whole lot more) and came home happy.
So, am I blue? Nope.
I'm tickled pink!

I can't recall my mother ever telling me I was pretty when I was a kid.
I know she thought so, but I don't remember her saying full out, "Helena, you are beautiful." She wasn't like Viola Davis' character in "The Help." Instead of paying lip service to those characteristics she wanted written on my heart, my mother showed me she meant them with a living mantra.
She let me make decisions. To this day, I remember the pride I felt at five being allowed to pick exactly what went into our basket every single time we went to the grocery store. It made me feel appreciated and as though my opinion actually mattered.
My mother clapped hardest at every dance recital and agreed loudly when other people praised me, but she rarely handed out her own gold stars. When someone else said I'd be a heart breaker when I grew up, she'd joke about me not being allowed to date ever, but she never initiated that sort of praise.
It was an outward thing that I just took as a given but never internalized as important to my self-confidence, which by definition comes from self. I don't know if she was trying that weird reverse psychology that says if you tell a kid they're smart too often they won't work as hard, but it worked.
So when I read the gorgeous letter writer Emma Johnson wrote to her daughter — who also happens to be named Helena — I was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward it was. In it, Johnson tells her little girl straight up that she is beautiful — not because of her physical characteristics, but because of something intangible, which is something I'm positive little girls need to hear. But what I found most interesting about Johnson's letter was the advice she gave her Helena about men:
"And when some man lets you know that, no, sorry, you're really great and all, but you are not beautiful, you need to know that has nothing at all to do with you. Not one thing. It has something to do with that man because he cannot see. And because you are beautiful you will be kind to him — because in all your beauty you will have that kindness and love to share.
And then you will go."
Johnson recounts the tale of a man she once dated who didn't find her beautiful and how she in turn began internalizing his lack of praise and felt ugly. She then lets her child know that a man who ever does this to her isn't worth keeping and, obviously, I totally agree.
Still, it got me to thinking about the intersections of young women, self-confidence, outward praise and stable relationships.
Before any man told me I was beautiful, I thought I was. I know this isn't the case for most girls or even grown ass women. I actually can't remember the first time a boy said I was pretty. In high school, a senior told me I looked like the star of Spike Lee's "Girl 6," a movie about a phone sex operator.
In college, someone once referred to me as "the pretty one." A few years ago, I went on a date with this one guy who kept saying, "You're so fucking beautiful," in the most aggressive all-the-better-to-wear-your-skin-like-a-bathing-suit type way. But aside from random strangers on street corners, not many men had told me to my face that I was pretty.
I took this picture for a local DC paper and Ike was cheering me on from the sidelines the whole time.
That is until I met Ike, the ink to my pen, who breathes out compliments like carbon dioxide. His nickname for me is "fancy" or "pretty" and when he says those words, I know he's taking to me and only me.
Thing is, I never thought that was important before I was getting it on the regs. I mean I've been in relationships with men who I know for a fact thought my lip gloss was popping but when a man (or woman) sincerely thinks you're "beautiful because of that thing –- that perfect thing inside of you" as Johnson perfectly puts it, it does feel very different. And terrifying.
Because if I've built my own Lego castle of self-esteem complete with a moat for all the dum dums who didn't realize how bomb I was and then some compliment conquistador comes 'round to plant the flag, is the place still mine? Of course it is, but damn if it ain't a little scary to let someone in.
Do you remember the first time someone you actually gave a crap about called you beautiful and really meant it? How'd it make you feel? Good butterflies or bad butterflies?

In Union Beach, school officials are working to find temporary classrooms for 720 students after the small town's single school was flooded by Hurricane Sandy,
In Moonachie, where many families were rescued from flooded homes by boats, military vehicles or dump trucks, parents are preparing to send their children to school in nearby Wood-Ridge for about a month.
And in Lincoln Park, schools will open for a half day today — without electrity — as officials try to resume classes after losing six days to the storm. No lunch will be served and kids have been warned to "dress appropriately," since boilers won't be working…From NJ Spotlight: "In my 40 years in education in New Jersey, I have never seen anything like this," said Lawrence Feinsod, executive director of the New Jersey School Boards Association and a longtime district and county superintendent. "Nothing like this, it's by far the worst."
With power out in much of the town, Grube said, "many children are living in houses that are colder than our buildings."

Indigenous organisations have called for effective community consultation as the Federal Government launches a new inquiry into alcohol consumption in Indigenous communities.
The parliamentary inquiry was initially intended to look at alcohol-related violence across the country but has now been narrowed to deal specifically with Indigenous communities.
Some Indigenous health groups are hopeful the inquiry could lead to more effective strategies to tackle alcohol use, providing Indigenous communities are properly engaged as part of the process.

Rip! Gettin ya props on wit da mod innovations! AGO Ohio chapter 1 fo life!
the RW Convertible--- sounds cool.
the tendency of people here to push their gear- inventing, creating, tweaking- keeps HF an interesting and stimulating place to hang out. we have great resources available here that can bring ideas to fruition, esp. for the non-DIY crowd.
i'm of the mindset that our vendors/cottages have developed great skills in creating innovative gear...so rather than try to DIY, i like to collaborate with them and help keep their hard-work relevant and thriving. i could've tried to Mod my HH, or SB, but working with 2QZQ has been awesome, and i know i'm getting a high-end quality product. i could've tried to clone a wbbb, but giving to brandon is a show of appreciation for his R&D, quality craftsmanship and great service.
in the end, for me, its all about innovation and collaboration-- and of course trying to over-engineer the heck outta something!
Thanks to our vendors, innovators, creators, stitchers, customer servants, moderators and so on--- and for relevancy,,,, SPECIAL THANKS TO 2QZQ FOR BEING SO ACCESSIBLE AND HELPING TO MAKE THE SWITCHBACK EXACTLY WHAT I WANT IT TO BE.
ok, enough gushy stuff
Hi RW, or ZQ
I know you should be receiving you SB today and a video review will follow.
I have my SB boxed and labeled for shipping to PA.
I was wondering if you could explain a little about how the net end that is detached(cut from the hammock) is finished.
Is there grosgain(sp?) or does the zipper fully close this removable end?

User Ratings & Opinions
|Apply pressure when drawing
User: Enoch S, Sep 25, 2014
|I only owned this stylus for a week and it is a bit frustrating to use it. If youre a person who applies pressure to your device with a stylus, this is the one for you. I had a hard time drawing (even swiping through pages) with this thing. I find the Galaxy Note S Pen more of a breeze than this. However, because of the price tag is attractive, that does not mean it is suitable for artists like me. One thing I have to hand it to them was the fast shipment. Perhaps it is near where I live because I selected standard shipping and I received the item the next day.

This is a big late (real late) but I figured something is better than nothing. Well, something is going to be pretty short and sweet. The Pirates jumped out to a 4-0 lead after one inning of play and it looked as if they were going to run Edwin Jackson off the field before he got to the third inning. The problem was that the Pirates didn't throw the knockout punch and Jackson somewhat settled in and let Starlin Castro single handedly get the Cubs back into the game.
Castro hit two home runs on the night and both of those came off Charlie Morton. That is actually pretty surprising seeing that Morton only gave up three home runs all of last season to right handed batters and Castro, who has been pretty awful so far this season, got two of them.
Those two home runs accounted for four of the five runs that Morton gave up. Morton didn't have a strong outing but thanks to the Pirates offense (!!!) he was able to slide by. He gave up eight hits and while his sinker seemed to be moving it seemed like he was having a lot of problems locating it well. The Cubs were able to square up some good pitches but Castro's second home run was a hanger and the pitch before he swung through was a hanger. It wasn't hist best outing but the Pirates won.
The offense came out and slugged 11 hits and scored seven runs. Anyone that batted in the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth batting position had a pair of hits and the early damage really gave them some breathing room. The best thing though was in the first inning when the Cubs decided to give Andrew McCutchen the unintentional intentional walk that Pedro Alvarez came up and roped a ball into the gap scoring two runs. If McCutchen is going to get walked every other time at bat then things like that need to happen. If Alvarez can protect McCutchen then he is going to get more pitches to hit and that will most likely turn into rockets back up the middle like the ball that almost took off Jackson's head in the second inning.
You know what is fun to see? Alvarez's walk rate of 18.8% is higher than his strikeout rate of 15.6%. I talk a lot about small sample size and all-in-all this doesn't tell us a bunch but Alvarez has been having some really good plate appearances so far. He is laying off a lot of pitches he would swing at in the past and while his average isn't anything to celebrate he is putting good swings on the ball and even taking a lot of balls the opposite way. Hopefully this continues.
Starling Marte is sort of in the same situation. He walked twice last night and now has five walks already this year. Last regular season he had 25. That is starting to become significant. Still a small sample size issues and still strikes out a little too much but this is a good trend.

Ravichandran has joined the second schedule of the Kannada remake of Mirchi. He joined the team on Tuesday in Hyderabad. His special get-up has been kept a secret and there is a strict ban on revealing it. Sudeep, who is directing the film has announced, "Crazy Star joins us back again on set. (He is) a man filled with energy and fantastic sense of humour. Truly an inspiration."
The film team also saw the rough cuts of the first schedule. In a voice broadcast Sudeep said, "the nature has been kind so far as there is no interference from rain during shooting. We saw the scenes we have shot during the first schedule. It is awesome. Arjun Janya has composed BGM music and though it is still a rough copy, the results are amazing.
Ravi Sir will be shooting with us for the next one month in Hyderabad, after which we will shift the location either to north Karnataka or Mysore. This is not yet decided."
Sudeep has also spoken about the X-Ray of his broken hand. "I don't know how the X-ray was leaked. Many of you have wished me and asked me to undergo surgery. Two months will go away if surgery is done now and put the film team in trouble. Let me take care of work and work will take care of me."

You can do searches on Google like "site:lagesse.org privacy" that will only show you results for this site that relate to privacy. It's really handy if you know you saw something on, say MSNBC. You can do a "site:msnbc.com whatever_you_forgot_about" and the chances are VERY good you'll find what you wanted.
What would be interesting is to know how those results compared to a non-site specific search. For instance, in the search of my site I mentioned above, it would be cool to see where my results were on Google general search rankings, but they don't show that.

COMMUNITY health teams in Worthing will be expanding their services over winter.
Nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and social workers who provide rapid and urgent assessment of patients will be involved in the expansion along with the SCT Night Sitting Service to provide 24 hour service, seven days a week, including Christmas and New Year.
A new team at Worthing A&E – the Community Liaison Service Team (CLST) – is working with A&E staff to refer patients to the most appropriate community service, to help reduce hospital admissions.
Over two weeks this October, the CLST team prevented 51 admissions to Worthing Hospital and discharged 47 patients safely to an appropriate community service.
In addition, a team of admission avoidance matrons work with care and nursing homes to help ensure their residents receive the most appropriate community care at home rather than be admitted to hospital.
Jane Mules, deputy director of operations, adult services, Sussex Community NHS Trust, said: "The cold weather brings with it a host of medical issues, such as fractures, chest infections and viruses that can affect our most vulnerable and elderly patients.
"Our aim is to care for our patients at home to prevent inappropriate hospital admissions."

In what Coach Riegel thought may have been the best match of the year, the Harrison County Thorobreds wrestling team defeated Paul Lawrence Dunbar 44-26 Wednesday night.
This was Senior Night for wrestlers Chris Brunker, Shaun Lenz, Josh Moss and Brett Williams and it was a real team effort.
The match started with the heavyweights and Corey Bailey started the evening out right with a very smart match and a 2-0 overtime win.

Sunderland Expect A Stroll In The Park
Wigan Athletic Vs Sunderland on Saturday at the DW Stadium is building up into the seasons must win game just to ram the smugness of the wannabe big boys back where they belong.
Sunderland boss Stave Bruce knows how to work the press; we saw that in his time as Latics boss, he drops subtle hints about players he liked to sign and chases them relentlessly, Lee Cattermole for example, and he has now instilled into his players a superiority complex.
Sunderland full back, George McCartney, that classy defender, who by the way Bruce is after replacing, as been talking about how `easy` Saturdays game will be for the Wearsiders and how a win is inevitable.
Fashionable Sunderland, yeah right, travel to Lancashire thinking the game is already in the bag, well good for them, they will be in for a shock if they think it will be a stroll in the park
Speaking to the Northern Echo McCartney says: "This year we`ve beaten the top teams and we`re going into the Wigan game thinking it`s one of the easier matches. It`s certainly a game we should win."
The afore mentioned Northern Echo have joined in the Latics bashing by calling us one of the leagues lesser teams and unfashionable opposition, come on fellows, have you appointed Sunderland to take over the Geordie mantle? Remember what happened to them.
The North East for some reason sees itself as the bastion of football when in actual fact it`s the back end of nowhere, just one Premier League club testifies to that, keep the smugness up and you will soon become detested up and down the Premier League.
T-Shirt Competition
Vital Wigan are running a competition for three lucky members to receive a Latics WN1 T-Shirt signed by the boss himself Roberto Martinez.

|First-year experiences with the Interagency Guidelines for Drug Donations (WHO/EDM, 2000, 51 p.)
|4. Basic characteristics of drug donations
Eight-four per cent of donors, 92% of consolidators and 35% of recipients indicated that over half of their donations are based on a specific request (Figure 1).
The difference of opinion between donors and consolidators on the one hand and recipients on the other probably indicates a real difference in perception as to what constitutes a "specific request", with many recipients believing that they received many donations without specifically having asked for them. The review of the experiences with the Guidelines was undertaken relatively shortly after their launch. It is possible that donation practice has changed at the level of the donors and consolidators (resulting in more new donations based on requests), while older donations (without specific requests) are still arriving in the field. If this is so, it would indicate that donations are improving. If not, there is a serious misunderstanding between donors and recipients. A follow-up study will be needed to see whether recipient opinion is changing over the next year.

They make great motorcycles and cars, and now BMW wants to go greener with their BMW C Evolution. According to the company, the prototype is close to hitting final production stages. Capable of covering 62 miles in a single charge and maximum speeds of up to 75 mph, the Evolution is another step in the right direction to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and reducing emissions. No pricing is available yet, however.

The video didn't tell you much about the innards 🙁
Is it hub motors? I want to see how it ticks!
I've built my own electric bike cycle from a kit and would be interest in seeing this bike dismantled like they do the iPhone and other electronic devices- no blenders please 😛
I meant bicycle 🙂

The most obvious change is, of course, our new look. This is the year of the Xbox, which we at freshmeat consider the most important development in the history of console gaming. Since this is the first time a real software company has come out with a product to compete with those poseurs at Nintendo and Sony, we wanted to celebrate the event by adopting their dynamic, vibrant color scheme. We hope you're as excited about it as we are.
More fundamental changes are making their way into freshmeat's code. We've read a number of articles about Web programming this year (especially on this really cool site we found), and were surprised to find out that what we've been doing is outdated. We were using PHP, not realizing that everyone's giving up on that and moving to C#. To be honest, we really didn't know much about it. When we typed "C#" into Google, however, the first site that showed up in the search results was called "msdn". It was very reassuring to find positive information on a site with a name so similar to our parent company's name, and we took it as a good omen. According to what we read, C#:
It also provides:
We're not entirely certain what all that means yet, but it sounds really good, and we think you're going to appreciate the changes that will come from having the site running on up-to-date software. A representative from the company that wrote C# has been working with us on the migration, and he says freshmeat will be a lot more "robust", "reliable", and "synergistic" after the change. Sounds great.
Some of the changes will effect you directly. For example, we've been using our own home-brewed system for managing logins. After the migration, we'll be adopting a Web standard called "Passport". As this standard is adopted by sites all over the Web, you'll be able use the same system to log in at freshmeat and everywhere else!
Even better, the Passport RFC includes support for financial transactions, so it will take care of the implementation of the ideas we're adopting from two of our sister sites.
Like SlashDot, we're going to implement a subscription system that we know you'll enjoy. We haven't decided exactly what kinds of subscriptions you'll be able to purchase yet, and we'd love to have your suggestions about what you'd like to pay for. The filtering system will definitely become a fee-based system; you'll be given the chance to pay for each project that doesn't show up on the front page. We're pretty sure that authors will be paying for each announcement they submit and readers will pay to post comments. Many of the details (like how much you'll pay for each hit that's directed to your site) are still being worked out.
We're going to be adopting quite a lot of things from themes.org, one of which is the ability to purchase freshmeat theme packs which will change the look of the site. Whenever you get tired of looking at one set of colors, you'll be able to purchase a different set. If you decide to go back to the one you had before, you just have to purchase it again. This means that if you really don't like the Xbox theme (and we know there are a few people who are picky about these sorts of things), you'll be able to buy a subscription to the boring old blue and white one.
It's going to take us some time to roll out all of these and many more changes we have in the pipeline, but we're so excited about it all that we had to share the good news with you right away. We look forward to all your ideas and suggestions; please post your comments below.
A final word: Any time of transition is bound to be a little stressful, so we'll appreciate your patience. There will be a few rough spots in the road as we replace our legacy systems, but we hope you'll just sit tight with us. We think you'll be flying high when, suddenly, everything clicks.
Just for posterity..
it would be nice to have a screen pic of the "new look" for those of us who missed it at the time

hahahah so true, I havn't been around long but some of the comments are just too funny, an ever funnier thing was the other day my fiance says what site is that, i said freshmean lol, she was like what... hahha
Green on black is microsoft-like??
What are you talking about? Microsoft.com uses the same blue

I had more fun reading the comments than the article

Breaking standards, on the other hand, is obviously cheap.

I have a very similar problem to this post: http://www.2carpros.com/questions/1990-subaru-legacy-heater-only-blows-through-c-vents-push-defrost-button-air
My A/C controls are different from those referenced in the solution. It doesn't matter if the temperature is set to hot or cold, nothing comes out of the defroster vents. I suspect that the defroster door is just stuck. Is there a quick way to determine what the root of the problem is before I take it to the shop (or fix it myself, even though I'm not overly mechanical)?

Two good guys, nobody hurt?
Staged fights have to go. That did nothing but hurt Thornton and possibly concuss him.
Thornton's better than that. He can actually play and he should stick to playing hockey and fighting turds like Carcillo and Ott.
Scott has no place in the game.
Posted by Hank1974 on 01/31/13 at 09:42 PM ET
Oh here we go with nonsense about how Thorton can actually play. This video posted elsewhere is garnering said reaction. Just stop… he is a goon. That is all. His numbers are padded (and they aren't great, worse than both the guys you want him to stick to fighting) by being on a cup contender. He can't play. He is a goon. Now, you might not think goons have a place in hockey and that is debatable but if you take them out, Thorton is going with them.
Posted by clownfat on 02/01/13 at 02:53 AM ET
Well the Bruins built their own reputation. No wonder other teams try to send a message..
Posted by Joe Z. from Austria on 02/01/13 at 09:30 AM ET
You can only protect players from themselves so much, especially when it comes to fighting like this. They were willing combatants. Thornton got punched in the ear repeatedly, that's gonna hurt.
On the staged fights thing though, I do agree. It's a waste of time. I want to watch hockey.

#6 Jun 25, 2008
i know it has been..... 4 MONTHS! since this tradgedy but i still find myself thinking about spencer everyday. but i just remember that spencer is in a better place now!
spencer lived three houses down from me - he was very sweet and he was a very close friend 2 me. after the fire everybody who knew him was confused and shocked it made me wonder where God was when this all happenend. my mom said God works is mysterious ways and tht he must hav had a reason.-a close friend 2 spencer carr i♥s.c.!!!
#7 Oct 19, 2008
. Ok first of all, How dare you judge me!!! you were not there you cant even began to think what we went threw, I went to my daughters window when i woke up there was smoke and fire everywhere, my son always slept with his big sister, so that is where i expected both of them to be, when i got in the window i found my daughter, my son was nowhere, i pulled my daughter out onto the roof and began to look for my son, I burned the flesh off my hands looking for him, my daughter screamed from outside the roof tar was melting to her feet , I went out to get her off the roof, behind be the flames came out , they were coming out every wiindow, I couldnt get back in, I went to go anyway and my daughter screamed and begged me not to go back in and die...You have no idea what goes threw your head at a time like this this situation was impossible, I wanted to die right there, My son was my world, I love him more than words can say, and why im explaining this to you I dont know, I dont own you an explaination or do i have to explain myself to anyone, And you have no idea what we went threw and even though you are an IDIOT!!! I hope you never have to know..YOU should be ashamed of yourself..
#8 Oct 22, 2008
i love you little brother, with all my whole heart. every now and again, i look up things from the fire, just because, and it makes me cry so much.
and whoever cjb is, you are an ignorant person. i screamed and screamed for my mother to get off that roof, she told me she wasnt going to get down, she was going to go back into the house and stay with my brother. maybe your not aware, this wasnt just a petty little fire, the entire house was engulfed in flames by the time i was down. the roof melted to our feet and legs, and my mother stayed up there, refusing to get down. her hand is so messed up, she kept reaching in and screaming. flames shot out every single window, even the two she was between, but everytime the flames went down, she popped right back in there screaming and reaching. my mother had no idea where he was, neither of us did. if there was anyway, my mother would have done whatever she could to save him.
so before you think you can pass judgement like that, put yourself in her position.
#9 Nov 2, 2008
i know this was a while ago,
but i just saw that one comment where that person was judging the mom, and ive never been in this kind of situation. i go to wolfe and i know tanya, i have seen spencer before, i know that would have been an extremly difficult choice. I just cant believe this all happened. God works in very mysterious ways. This way i am deffinatly not sure of? But Spencer and his family will always be in my prayers! Knowing that the whole house was in flames and knowing how many fire fighters were there (my friends dad was there), i know it was REALLY big! So the person who was judging the mom really should see what its like and then judge, which i hope the dont cause this is a really serious and sad tragic thing ;(
#10 Jan 24, 2009
I love this family as my own, they are a part of me and my children forever. I saw and watched that fire engulf that house. I saw my friend and her charred hand and blackened body. I saw her daughter in pain and agony from the fire. I watched in horror as the house burnt. My children watched in horror. My son is Spencer's best friend as was Spencer his. He lost his brother that day. I lost a part of my family. Nothing will ever be the same. The pain is endless. My friend did all she could, as a mother would, and lives with this the rest of her life. It will never be forgotten, never.
It will never be the same.
#11 Aug 30, 2009
wow its been almoast 2 years, i still miss my little brother very very very much. idk how we all do it without him. scence then allot of things have changed and that family has never been the same, nor has mine. my little brother has some of the stuffed animals that were put on the fece and he refuses to give them up and its a good thing to cause i never want him out of anyones hearts. i loved that little boy and i wish i could have seen him grow up. he'd be going into 4th grade now with my baby brother. tanya is still my best friend and shes going to be a junior in high school now. these people meen everything to me. i know allot of the people who commented this including my own mother and some of my best friends. theres nothing anyone could have done, they tried. my own big brother tried to get in and he got nola off that roof. nolas hand print was on owr wall for a long time. our house almoast went too. it was a devistating day. and we live with this every damn day. love you nola dave tanya and spencer. and just for you i spencer i swear on the hatchet i will see you again someday.

#15 Jun 7, 2012
frist he is just 8 years old and he has a mom and a
dad a famiey so who killed the litte boy will be sorry.
#16 Jan 19, 2013
I feel so sorry about that kid. It was scary to hear about that and I sure the family did what they can to save him like the post above states. I only live a few blocks away from Harding (Sunburst) and I can't stop to see that property every time I go out on my bike. I know I would not leave my pets and family to harm and I'm the youngest in my house (20 years old). My heart goes out to that family. Even though I never meet them I still care about the family's loss. Sorry I didn't help.
#17 Jun 12, 2013
I know this family and you should be ashamed of yourself. You are a worthless piece of trash for even posting that. A child died. I hope nothing but misery for you.
#18 Aug 16, 2013
How sad for the family. My prayers are with you and for the person judging the mother....You Don't know how you would react in such an incident. I myself was staying at a motel several floors up when we barely heard the fire alarm. There is so much panic. And I yelled and got the family awake and was trying to open the door and making sure they got up. And getting the family up and thinking they are behind you going down the stairs. Thank God it wasn't much. Because they came down several minutes after I did.

The problem is, the DF thing is a sender issue. I, as a receiver, cannot control if the other end's packets are fragmented when they get to me or not. If fragmentation must occur because of the encap header added, fragmenting the GRE packet is permitted? With or without notification for the other end? If no notification is sent, this once again breaks the purpose of PMTU. > That said, it's OK to fragment a packet with DF set at the link level > as long as it's reassembled before it is forwarded by the router on > the other end of the link. But clearing the DF bit and fragmenting at > the IP layer is wrong. I never said clear it :) The real issue here, is that I cannot use a GRE tunnel to home and still reach many web sites. That is the problem I am trying to fix. I would like to avoid breaking PMTU, however, and fragmenting silently will do that in that it won't discover the real MTU. --Michael

Washington has already seen a string of wedding ceremonies in high-profile locations since marriage equality became a reality — from the Human Rights Campaign's Equality Forum, to All Souls Unitarian Church where Mayor Adrian M. Fenty signed the marriage bill. The nation's capital is filled with welcoming locations for same-sex couples to tie the knot.
And whether you envision your big day under a roof or out in the open, you don't have to travel too far to make either a reality. Before you pick a spot, however, it's best to determine the size of your guest list and budget, as well as the time of day in which you hope to celebrate your union.
"The best thing about weddings is typically they're all over the place," says Hector Torres, vice president of Capital Hotels, which operates the St. Gregory Hotel and the Beacon Hotel. "Sometimes couples want a brunch wedding, or they like to have a luncheon wedding, or dinner. It all depends on the kind of wedding you are looking for."
Time of day plays a big role in the cost of the event, he adds — that could mean having a $30 lunch or brunch wedding, to a $150-a-plate dinner with caviar.
"The best thing about it is that we're really prepared to work with the customer," says Torres.
Couples seeking something out in the open can match a larger a guest list with an affordable price tag at one of Maryland's State Parks, suggests Kelly Prizel, who operates the website, SoYoureEngayged.com.
"All the public parks in Maryland are super cheap, under $2,000, and they're amazing," says Prizel. "They're big, they're beautiful. The only [drawback] is you usually have to reserve your wedding date two years in advance."
Prizel suggests the Montpelier Mansion in Laurel, and the Audubon Naturalist Society in Chevy Chase, where she tied the knot with her wife Natalie, for a party of about 125 people.
"It's an extremely popular option, because it's affordable," she says, adding that the staff at the parks is "really accepting and go out of their way to be accommodating."
Other outdoor venues include the Potomac Point Winery in Stafford, Va., where event coordinator Tanya Caruso says same-sex couples are welcome to celebrate their union.
"You're not going to find a venue like this anywhere," says Caruso. "The owners traveled to Europe, to different wineries, and that's how they came up with ideas for the Mediterranean architecture." The vineyard still has open spots for 2010 weddings.
Those looking for an even larger gathering can fit about 800 people inside All Souls Unitarian Church in Columbia Heights.
A traditional three-hour ceremony costs $1,000 on a weekday and $1,200 on a weekend. The church also features a courtyard, at $500 for two hours.
For couples leaning toward keeping their celebration intimate and casual, the CommonWealth Gastropub fares well among D.C.'s restaurants.
"We are unique because we have a somewhat casual atmosphere with fantastic food and beverages," co-owner Sandy Lewis says of the gay-owned restaurant. The CommonWealth has three spaces that can be used for weddings: an outdoor patio, the pub and the restaurant, which includes a private dining room.
"We are extremely flexible and if a couple is willing to get married during the week instead of the traditional weekend," says Lewis, "it can cut the cost almost in half."
With so many different options, Lewis says the price is anywhere between $2,000 to $20,000, depending on the size of the party, time of day, and the menu and beverages chosen.
A wedding at CommonWealth would be a new frontier for both the restaurant and the newlyweds. "We are anxious to do our first," says Lewis, adding, "Maybe it will be me and my partner."

Well, I don't know about the CSS3 modules you have in mind, but HTML5 is not a good example, given that the HTML5 is still a working draft and not a Recommendation.

I meant to update w3-recs once before the Squeeze freeze and then formally orphan the package (see #579786), but I badly failed at it. Some people declared interest in adopting w3-recs (Cc:ing them with this mail), but in spite of some early work on the package, it seems that unfortunately no upload has been made yet. Folks, if you are *really* interested in maintaining w3-recs, please go ahead with an upload and feel free to remove me from the maintainer/uploader fields. I doubt there is any room for an updated version for Squeeze (which is unfortunate), but it would be nice to have the package up to date in unstable, as its dependencies make it trivial to install it from any Debian suite.

What's it like to be a…..Special Education Pre-School Teacher?
What does a normal day look like? Is it consistent throughout the year? If youve had this position for a while, how have things changed?
I teach 8 preschoolers, aged 2-5, all with disabilities. They have a variety of disabilities, including autism, physical disabilities, speech impairment, genetic disorders, Down syndrome and others. The children come for half the day and participate in typical preschool activities, with some adaptations as needed. Each child has an IEP (Individualized Education Program), which the parents and I develop, to address problems in areas of development (social skills, communication skills, cognitive skills, gross and fine motor skills and adaptive skills). We work on their delays at school and then I do home visits in the afternoon, coaching parents and working with the children. Our classroom also has speech therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other specialists also working with the children. I have two assistants that help to carry out the program.

As Alex Zanardi lies in a hospital bed in Berlin following a nearly fatal, career-ending injury, many in the sport are thinking about the man who transcended his role as a race car driver.
The 34-year-old driver, born Alessandro Zanardi in Bologna, Italy, lost both legs in a crash Saturday in a CART race in Germany.
While his family, friends and acquaintances wait restlessly and pray for his recovery, the memory of this intelligent, funny and perceptive man is what keeps many going. Even those in other racing circuits have been deeply touched by him and believe he will overcome the tragedy.
''He's a great person, and we're all praying for him,'' said NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon.
Zanardi came onto the CART scene in 1996 after failing to find a regular ride in Formula One. He was Chip Ganassi's discovery, a grand find by the car owner went on to unprecedented four straight CART championships -- two of them by the man known universally in the Champ car series simply as Alex.
He won three races and took Rookie of the Year honors, and got his first title the next season. Zanardi was named to the 12-man roster for the 1998 International Race of Champions series -- an all-star circuit encompassing open-wheel, stock car and sports car racing.
The first time he walked to the pit lane to test an IROC car, another of the all-stars -- Gordon -- was waiting.
As Zanardi strolled toward Gordon, he turned to a companion and said, ''I must introduce myself.''
Instead, Gordon rushed up, smiling, his right hand outstretched and said, ''Alex, you are my hero.''
The stunned Zanardi stopped in his tracks and stared while Gordon added, ''I can't believe some of the things you've done in a race car. 'The Pass' was incredible.''
Anybody who saw it, in person or on TV, knew exactly what Gordon was talking about.
On the final lap of the 1996 race in Monterey, Calif., Zanardi made one of the most spectacular moves in the history of racing. He shot past a stunned Bryan Herta by driving off the track and back on at The Corkscrew, a downhill, blind switchback and one of the most famous turns in American racing.
Asked later why he even tried such a reckless move, Zanardi shrugged and grinned.
''I practiced it and knew I could do it,'' he said.
Besides his racing prowess, a Zanardi trademark has been his intelligence and a rare sense of humor that has helped him become a favorite among his peers.
Jimmy Vasser, his teammate for three years on the Ganassi team and one of his closest friends, credited Zanardi with making him a better driver.
''You know, he never gives up on himself,'' Vasser said. ''No matter what goes wrong, what happens on the race track or off of it, Alex goes after it.
''He's a totally positive influence and he just kept telling me, 'Jimmy, you're better than you think you are.' Finally, I began to believe him.''
For the fans, though, the most memorable thing about Zanardi has been the doughnuts.
The driver drew the ire of CART officials and wild cheering from the fans in Portland, Ore., in 1996, when he celebrated his first CART victory with a tire-smoking series of spins, known as doughnuts.
Even in the face of fines and threats of worse from CART, Zanardi couldn't resist remaining the ''Doughnut Man'' after each of his 15 CART victories.
He left to give his first love -- Formula One -- one more try in 1999. But the adjustment was just too hard, and Zanardi put himself into a one-year exile from racing in 2000, staying home in Monte Carlo with his wife, Daniela, and now 3-year-old son, Niccola.
''Mostly, all I did last year was change diapers,'' Zanardi said, smiling, after returning to CART for the 2001 season with Morris Nunn, his former Ganassi engineer and now a team owner.
''You know, things hadn't really been going all that well, but the old Alex has been emerging lately,'' Nunn said just two weeks before the crash in the American Memorial 500.
Zanardi was leading before losing control while emerging from the pits late in the race. The car spun across the high-speed oval like a brightly colored target.
One car just missed, but Alex Tagliani sliced through the cockpit of Zanardi's car at about 200 mph, cutting it in half.
Tagliani, trying to get ready for Sunday's race in Rockingham, England, thinks constantly of Zanardi.
''When I take a shower, when I brush my teeth, every five minutes I have this image of him,'' Tagliani said.
Only the immediate efforts of CART's traveling safety team saved the life of Zanardi, who almost bled to death in the cockpit.
One of the doctors said Zanardi was awake and talking as they worked to save his life.
''Thank you,'' Zanardi told him. ''I'll be all right,''
Those who know him well can only pray that he's right.

She's only had two sessions and she is giddy with how well she is performing. I am sure the PT is asking only the minimum of her, but she is way out performing his every request. That surprises him and delights her...and her psychological perception of herself is very important to get her to continue. She can balance herself on the dome of the BOSU ball on one foot. I couldnt do that when I started post-therapy...but then I was holding a computer and typing postings onto RJ at the same time....that's how I got to 12000, dontcha know. But I digress....anyhoo....it will be interesting to see how well she progresses with his guidance.

Sandy Alderson spoke to reporters this afternoon and Adam Rubin of ESPN New York was kind enough to transcribe most of the details.
- Sandy Alderson said it's "fair" to say Mets won't sign anyone who commands more than $1.5 million. Still, Alderson said free agent market should still be "robust" since players who made more than $1.5 million in past now may command less.
- Sandy Alderson on adding more starting pitcher: Our problem is we've got 5 guys that we like, five guys that deserve to pitch in a rotation.
- At this point, Sandy Alderson says he is looking to fill out the bench and a last spot in the bullpen. He's looking at right-handed hitting outfielders and a shortstop who can fill in on a stop-gap basis, in the event someone like Ruben Tejada got injured. "Basically we're looking to fill out the bench as well as the last spot in the bullpen."
- Sandy Alderson declines to speak about Mets minority ownership sales, except to say nothing has changed since Christmas party. Alderson said at Christmas party that he expected Mets would have minority investors on board in January.
- Sandy Alderson said Santana should have normal spring training, but you never know until he tries to bounce back from repetitive pitching. Alderson said trainer Ray Ramirez spent 10 days with Johan Santana in Venezuela. Santana about 3 weeks into throwing program.
- Alderson said Mets doing full physicals, including internal medicine, on free-agent signings so there's longer gap from deal to announcement.
Well, feast on that everybody. Plenty here to discuss.
All in all this was a successful offseason under very extreme circumstances. I give a lot of credit to Alderson who set out to revamp the bullpen and brought in some terrific pieces who have all had some success in the past.
Getting back a healthy Johan Santana will be the key to how the season progresses past March and into April. One thing is certain and that is that the front office are being very cautious which is a departure from how things used to be around here.
I'm glad to see we are finally doing "FULL" physicals before we hand millions to a free agent.

Chapter 11 : Chapter Eleven: Curiosity Killed the Cat; Will it Kill Evvie or Just Satisfy Her?
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 6
Background: Font color:
Mild Language
When someone gives you a topic that you aren't allowed to talk about does it make to heed that rule? No, it makes your more curious. Evvie wanted to know about her father but no one seemed willing to talk about it. There were some things that didn't add up. Her Mother had told her that she and Evvie's Father had mourned her when she'd disappeared and had searched all over for her, yet Blaise had told her that her Father had died in the same raid that she'd disappeared in.
That didn't make sense right? Someone couldn't have missed her and searched for her at the same time as apparently dying. She knew something wasn't right, she could feel it in her bones, like her magic was drawn to something unseen. She'd asked Fleur to help her in her quest because she could trust her to be discreet and knew Fleur liked a good mystery as well as she did. Evvie knew that curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back, she only hoped that she'd find the satisfaction in her quest before she died like the saying suggested.
She decided against her better judgment that she ought to try and talk to Blaise about her Father. She couldn't talk about her suspicions but she could at least question him about their Father. She was desperate to learn about him.
"Blaise, what was our Father like?" she asked.
Blaise visibly stiffened.
"He was good" replied Blaise unable to look her in the eye.
"How did he die?" she asked.
"In the raid".
"I know that, but how?"
"Why does it matter?" he replied.
"He was my Father too, don't I deserve to know a little about him?" she asked.
"It's none of your business!" shouted Blaise.
Evvie paled, "None of my business" she stuttered.
Blaise looked at her for the first time since she started asking questions.
"I see how it is. There was me thinking how great it was to finally have a proper family. Yet apparently it's none of my business what happened to our Father. How is that, is it because I've only just found out about my family? Am I not good enough? Don't I deserve to know?"
"Didn't you ever think it was a topic that was hard to talk about?" thundered Blaise.
"I'm family, it shouldn't be hard to talk to me!" replied Evvie.
"I'm not talking about it, you have no right to know" said Blaise.
"Fine, fine" said Evvie.
She'd had enough, she'd known it would have been difficult to breach the topic of their Father with Blaise but she'd hoped for more than he'd given her. She was furious, and here she'd been thinking that they'd been getting on so well. She wanted to believe that this was just a mistake that Blaise was just surprised and didn't mean to react the way he did but she'd seen it in his eyes. She'd seen how he believed it wasn't her business and that had hurt her. For all his protectiveness, for all his caring friendship, it seemed he didn't completely think of her as family like she did of him. It was like being transported back to Hermione Granger, where she wasn't good enough to be told secrets and kept in the loop.
Well, she was a fighter; she wasn't going to give up just because Blaise was being a complete bastard. There were other people she could go to for information. She'd go to Daphne next; she was close to Blaise, very close. She would have gone to Draco but well, things weren't exactly good between them at the moment, and he'd probably rat her out to Blaise anyway. Daphne cared for Blaise but she also cared for Evvie. She knew more about Blaise than Blaise did himself. Evvie assumed Daphne had a crush on Blaise; it was obvious if you looked at them the right way.
"Daphne can I ask you something" she asked quietly.
"Sure" replied Daphne.
"You can't tell Blaise about this" added Evvie.
"Ok" replied Daphne slightly unsure.
"I want to know what happened to my Father, all of it, not just these lies".
Daphne sighed, "I knew this would come back to bite them. I told them they should have told you but they insisted that it was none of your business, so stupid of them. I'll tell you what I know, but I don't know everything, some things are a mystery even to me".
"I'll be happy with anything you tell me".
"You are right though, he didn't die in the raid that you disappeared in. I think that was just a cover for what really happened" said Daphne.
"It all started with your Mother really during school. She was very beautiful and popular but she was also kind and intelligent. I know she was matched to your Father but I believe they were in love before they knew of their upcoming nuptials. I'm told it was a happy time, my Mother was at school with yours, she always said it was very obvious how much in love your parents were".
Evvie sensed a but coming.
"But, there was one dodgy character. Kind of like how people viewed Snape but worse. He crawled his way around the school, he practiced the dark arts but wasn't a member of Voldemort's group. I'm told he looked a little bit like a greasy weasel. I don't know his name or what happened to him, I just know that he had an unnatural obsession with your Mother that borderlined stalking".
"I know this situation with his man got worse as school went on but once your parents had left school the creepy guy seemed to disappear. All was great for a while, your parents married, had fun with their early married life and then you and Blaise came along. Life seemed good. Until that raid, the one where you were taken, no one knows why you were taken during that raid, it still remains a mystery".
"This is where it gets a bit confusing, your parents did look all over for you after you'd disappeared but they couldn't find hide nor hair of you, so naturally after a sufficient time you were declared dead, and your parents went into mourning. However, as I understand it, your Father never believed that you were dead; he became manic in his searches to find you, and started to received threatening letters from a mysterious writer. It was somewhere during this time that your Father went missing, no one knew where he'd gone off to, he'd just said that he had some business to take care of, whether he was following a lead on you or not, no one knows. What I do know is that they never found his body and as with you after a significant amount of time had passed they declared him dead".
"Your Mother went into a grief that I don't think she's ever recovered from. She hardly speaks of him anymore. She used to tell Blaise stories about your Father but she always told him that these stories were very secretive and shouldn't be shared with others. She told him never to tell people of the real way he died, he was always to tell them he died in the raid that took you".
"That's all I know, I promise" finished Daphne.
"Oh God" replied Evvie. That was more information that she'd hoped for. It was information that churned through her body stopping at nothing to infiltrate her brain with thousands of possibilities and theories. This seemed far more complex that she'd imagined.
"What are you going to do with all this information?" asked Daphne, though she was afraid of the answer.
"I'm going to find him, my Father. I'm going to find him and save him".
Daphne paled at Evvie's answer, she should have known that Evvie wouldn't have just been satisfied by the information Daphne had shared with her. She should have known that Evvie would want to do something with the information she'd been given. She should have known that Evvie would have an ulterior plan when she'd asked Daphne for information, no matter now, Daphne had promised not to tell Blaise of this conversation.
Evvie's next stop was to find out who this mysterious third party was, however that was a lot harder to do when she didn't know his name. The easiest thing would be to check the library records of past students, there were books for each year, they weren't like yearbooks of the muggle world but they were similar. Perhaps she'd be able to find a picture of her parents with said creepy man. It was worth a try after all.
As luck would have it someone else had also made a breakthrough. Fleur had been hard at work using her sources and contacts to help Evvie with her quest and had actually managed to unearth the name of the mysterious man. She sent her results via owl post, and when Evvie opened the owl's letter she was very pleased with the content.
Marcus Boyle. That was his name, the greasy weasel's name. It was stated that he was not a Slytherin like Evvie had guessed but rather a Hufflepuff. If it's one thing you don't think of Hufflepuff's being its practitioners of the dark arts. When you think of Hufflepuff's you think of people with not many brain cells, but perhaps that's a stereotype.
Now she knew his name, she was able to go back over the books to find him. Luck was on her side, more so than before. Not only did see find a singular photo of Marcus Boyle but she also noticed that within every photo of her parents, Marcus Boyle was lurking in the background. He really took unconditional love to a new level, he made Snape's obsession with Lily Evans look normal. Boyle really was a nasty looking man, his hair was a degree of greasy that Snape's had never been, it looked a bit like wet straw and was thinning in places. His face had the scrunched up look like he'd pulled a face in the wind and got stuck that way.
It wasn't good to judge people on their looks but Evvie couldn't imagine Marcus Boyle ever being a nice person, and somehow that made judging him easier. According to the book, the last sighing of Marcus Boyle was in a little bookshop in Hogsmead where he presumably worked right after leaving Hogwarts.
As a returning seventh year, Evvie didn't have to abide by as many rules as other years. She was just lucky that she was allowed back to school, at one point it had been discussed that returning seventh years would become eighth years but due to the diminished student population that plan was scratched. Besides back to the rules, as a returning seventh year Evvie could get permission to go to Hogsmead whenever she wanted and thus that is what she went to do.
Evvie was beginning to regret going to Hogsmead so late in the afternoon. Without the normal flux of students the village was quiet and eerie. The once bustling village now stood somber and repaired. The silence was deafening even The Three Broomsticks was subdued though still filled to the brim with the usual drunkards.
The Bookshop was off the beaten track that should have been Evvie's first clue. It looked suspiciously like the front of the Hogs Head the first time Evvie visited it but since then Evvie had learnt not to judge things at face value. The door creaked when she opened it, a little chime above her indicated to the store keeper that someone had arrived. She didn't see the man when she first walked into the store. It was dark and musky and Evvie was outraged that the books didn't look like they'd been probably cared for.
"Can I help you?" Evvie jumped, she hadn't heard the man approach her.
"I-I was looking for Marcus Boyle" stammered Evvie.
The book clerk visibly stiffened at the mention of the name. Apparently that name didn't bring up pleasant memories for the book clerk.
"What did you say?"
"Marcus Boyle, did you know him?" asked Evvie.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked in response.
"It's important" replied Evvie evenly.
"Marcus Boyle is the devil's child; you'd do well to stay away".
"Why do you say that?"
The book clerk turned and for the first time Evvie got a glimpse of his face. She gasped at the horrific gash that lay across his face, the burnt flesh and boiled skin.
He acknowledged her gasp with a simple statement, "Courtesy of Marcus Boyle".
"He did that to you?" she asked horrified.
"He's a violent man when he'd angry" he replied.
"Why was he angry?"
"I expect it had something to do with the marriage of Katherine Williams".
"Who was Katherine Williams?" asked Evvie dreading the answer.
"Well she would be Katherine Zabini now" the book clerk thought out loud.
"What can you tell me about them? Please!" begged Evvie.
"I reckoned you'd have heard of the triangle between the then Lily Evans, James Potter and Severus Snape".
She nodded in response.
"Well this triangle was a whole lot worse. Tales of unrequited love are never good ones" he paused, "Let me see" he murmured, he seemed lost in memories.
"I can't tell you everything. I know they said he disappeared but they never found hide nor hair of him. I don't want to end up further scarred or worse dead" he motioned for her to move further into the shop clearly he was as frightened as his voice suggested.
"Marcus Boyle was from an ordinary family, they were neither rich nor poor. I believe both his parents were half bloods. He was sorted into Hufflepuff. He seemed an average normal boy till he met Katherine. He thought she was god's gift, an angel in disguise. He set his mind on claiming her. It was feet easier said than done for her heart was already set on another, Andre Zabini I believe his name was. Marcus wasn't one to give up because of competition. He pursued her relentlessly, drove her into feared state from his continual presence. His nature just sent her further into the arms of Andre Zabini. He tried everything but was unsuccessful. It was around this time that his behavior started to change. People said they heard him talking to himself, others saw displays of his violence, and there were even a few who believed he'd sold his soul to the devil himself"
"Suddenly his tactics changed, they became more sinister. He started hunting Katherine, cornering her, forcing her into conversation. He began showing his violence to others, using unheard spells, causing panic and fear. He attacked Katherine's friend, she begged him to stop but he told her he wouldn't unless she agreed to him demands".
"What were his demands?"
"That she break off the engagement to Andre Zabini become his wife and let him take them far away. If she agreed he promised to stop hurting the people she loved. But she couldn't accept his deal, she couldn't give up Andre. It was right after graduation that he disappeared. He'd been working here during the summer months. Katherine was happy. She thought his disappearance meant the end to all the panic and fear. She moved on with her life, married Andre Zabini, had children and forgot all about Marcus".
He paused and his face transformed into a gruesome painful expression.
"Have you ever heard of the muggle story character Rumplestiltskin?" he asked as Evvie nodded.
"Marcus was a bit like Rumplestiltskin, he liked making deals and he always collected. He made a deal to Katherine and didn't appreciate it when she rejected him. She sealed her fate then, he was never going to let her go" he gasped in pain.
"Are you alright?"
"You look just like her you know, Katherine looked like you when she was young. Andre Zabini is not dead, his grave is empty, he is at" he gurgled too much and Evvie never heart what he meant to say.
She stood frozen in horror as the book clerk seemed to choke on his own saliva. She watched in horror as a dark brown substance dripped out of her eyes, nose and mouth. Evvie's heart beat rapidly in her chest as the book clerk dropped down dead. Evvie seemed to unfreeze, she ran from the shop without looking back once. Neither was she looking where she was going either.
"Ommph" she ran into something solid.
"Evvie what are you doing here?" the something solid turned out to be Draco.
"Nothing" she stuttered.
"Where did you come from what are you doing? Blaise has been looking for you".
Evvie pointedly refused to look at him.
"Blaise is right your Father is dead. Don't look into something that isn't there" he commanded.
He was still holding her like he thought he could shake some sense into her.
