A finished quilt...it's been a while
The design is simple patchwork squares mixed with a few pieced patchwork squares all hand quilted using paper templates. I hardly ever make large quilts, I did once when I first started quilting but never again since ;) This one is big enough to cover my bed nicely I didn't measure it exactly but it is about 185cm by 215cm or 74" x 86"
I used Hobbs Tuscany silk batting and Little Folks voile for backing which makes this quilt so luxuriously soft and light weight despite it's size - I absolutely love it!!
I decided to commit to a bed full of lush AMH prints and made a few folksy flannel pillow cases as well. I am thoroughly enjoying these warm and rich colours in my bedroom and all the different soft textures to snuggle up under at night.
The only problem with my bed being all cozy and warm like this is I never want to leave!
Thank you all for your votes I came in third in the Sew Mama Sew true love contest :) Please check back here Monday as it is my birthday and I plan on doing a little give away to celebrate.
Have a lovely weekend,
x Leila

Acer Ferrari One 200 Review - More than a Netbook
Introduction, Specs, and Packgaing
Ferrari - best known for their expensive high-performance road machines. Acer - best known for their value positioned computer products. So what happens when you combine an expensive car brand with a company known for making rather inexpensive PC systems?
Today we are taking a look at the Acer Ferrari One 200 netbook. It's an attractive 11.6" netbook that sports a stunning Ferrari red design that is sure to attract a lot of attention. But is that attention warranted or is stamping a netbook with a high-performance car brand the tech equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig?
The Acer Ferrari One 200 definitely took me by surprise, and I think it may be one of the more interesting netbook options out there if you're looking for something more than the traditional.
far as the hardware specifications go, the Acer Ferrari One 200 is
fairly well equipped for a netbook. With an AMD Athlon 64 X2 L310 dual
core processor, up to 4GB of RAM (the unit we received had 3GB), and an
ATI Radeon HD3200 GPU, this system should be able to handle some more
demanding workloads than your standard netbook.
display with 1366x768 resolution is worth noting as it's an interesting
size that is reasonably high resolution for a small panel. We'll dig
into the display panel more later in this review, but let me just say
that it's quite surprising.
ATI XGP using the XGP connector located on the side. Not sure how many
people will be using this, but it's there in case you want to do some
more intensive graphics work or 3D gaming.
stuff that is absent...
which will make creating backup discs a challenge unless you have a USB
optical drive. Bluetooth is also not a feature on the Acer Ferrari One
200, which is fairly standard these days on Intel based netbooks.
HDMI is no where to be found on the Ferrari One 200 which is probably
my biggest complaint with respect to these specs. With a GPU that is
more than capable in handling HD content, it's a shame that there is
only an analog VGA output. Since most of you won't be using the XGP,
it'd make more practical sense to have HDMI instead.
The packaging on the Acer Ferrari One 200 is surprisingly minimal.
Inside the box you have the computer, power adapter (not pictured),
some documentation, and a soft cloth to polish your Ferrari. There isn't
a single disc of any sort included, which follows the logic that the
Ferrari One 200 doesn't actually have an optical drive.

LEDs (light emitting diodes) are light sources based on semiconductor devices. LEDs are used for a broad range of applications, such as backlight illumination of mobile phones or displays, traffic signals with low maintenance, car head lamps and rear lights, head-up displays, projectors and general illumination. They offer a number of advantages compared to other light sources, including long lifetime, low total lifecycle costs, compact size, easy implementation into end devices, and particularly, very high efficiency. The use of LEDs for illumination can save up to 85 % in energy consumption compared to standard light sources, offering the potential to reduce about 15 % of the total worldwide energy consumption if all standard light sources were substituted.
Various types of LEDs, including narrow band emitting LEDs with wavelength spanning red to blue or broadband emitting LEDs as white light source for general illumination, are currently available. LEDs are fabricated by epitaxical growth of an optical active layer on compound semiconductor material. The wavelength of the final LED can be determined through the selection of the material and the grown layers. The total efficiency of LEDs can be dramatically increased by improving the out coupling of light from the semiconductor material as well as by enabling an efficient, uniform cooling through selection of a suitable setup. EV Group offers a wide range of specially adapted products and technologies for the fabrication of highly efficient LEDs within its compound semiconductor solutions portfolio. EV Group provides wafer-level bonding and thin-wafer handling solutions for layer transfer of the active layer, imprint lithography for patterning the top surface, and optical lithography for wafer bumping and metal-contact processing.Major LED manufacturers worldwide trust in EV Group´s tools for reliable high volume production.

NikeLab Air Force 1 Low
—01. Premium leather upper and liner.
I'd be curious to know how many versions of the Air Force 1 have been released by Nike since 1982. Over the years, the brand has attempted many times to elevate the icon with premium materials while maintaining its original aesthetic, and more often than not it hasn't been a total success. The recent NikeLab release, however, is very, very good. There are low and mid options in white, black, navy and red, all featuring deluxe uppers and Phylon cushioning. The only detail I might reconsider is the clear sole but as it's out of sight, it's easy to overlook.

With hard vegetables like carrots and broccoli is better to eat them raw or cooked
It is usually a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the crunch of a raw veggie, while others prefer cooked veggies with a softer texture. Cooking can reduce some nutrient content, but it can also make some nutrients more available to the body.
Raw veggies are a great snack to pack in a lunch box or take on the go. Put your favorite raw veggies in a container, add some dip and you have a quick, delicious and healthy snack. Cooked veggies are great as a side dish, but you can also add extra cooked veggies to egg dishes in the mornings, salads for lunch time and pasta dishes, soups and casseroles for dinner. Whether you prefer raw or cooked veggies, it just matters that you eat more!

Architectural Photography
a step-by-step guide to architectural photographyArchitectural photography is more than simply choosing a subject and pressing the shutter release button; it's more than simply documenting a project. An architectural photograph shows the form and appeal of a building far better than any other medium. With the advent of the digital photographic workflow, architects are discovering exciting new opportunities to present and market their work.
But to photograph architectural subjects what equipment do you need? What are the ingredients for a successful image? Why does a building look different in reality than in a photographic image? How can you improve your images in your digital darkroom? In Architectural Photography, a new title from Rocky Nook, Inc., you will find the answers to these questions and much more.
Adrian Schulz, both an architect and a photographer by training, uses real world projects to teach and illustrate how to:
- - Capture outstanding images of buildings, inside and out
- - Choose the right equipment and use it effectively
- - Compose architectural shots
- - Work with ambient and artificial light
- - Process images in an efficient workflow based on Adobe Photoshop
This book is a step-by-step guide to architectural photography both for the aspiring amateur photographer interested in architectural photography and for the professional photographer wanting to expand his skills in this domain. Moreover, architects themselves will find this book motivating and inspiring.
Adrian Schulz lives in Berlin, Germany and received a degree in architecture from TU Berlin. Early in his studies, he became interested in architectural photography, and thus it became the subject of his thesis. Adrian now works as a professional architectural photographer both in Germany and North America.

Taking Back Control ...
By Rae Lewis-Thornton
December 9, 2013
This piece originally appeared in Rae's blog, Diva Living With AIDS.
In the month prior to going on this last round of IV medication I was on top of the world. Overall, I was feeling BETTER. My Irritable Bowl Syndrome (IBS) seemed to be under control. I was having regular, everyday bowel movements. I had more energy and was feeling great. I believe the combination of my new diet, working out and juicing was the sum total of my better days. I've been eating Paleo since the middle of October. Basically, meat, vegetables, fruits nuts and seeds. No dairy, legumes, grains or refined sugar. I was juicing everyday and working out everyday. I love CrossFit. It is the workout to get me off the sofa and the people of at River North Crossfit have been very supportive.
Then WHAM! I got another herpes infection. Man, oh man, you talk about being hit from nowhere. Yet, I was still determined to not let the IV medication stop my routine. Somehow, though, it seems that I lost my control with no return. That first week I made it to CrossFit one time. My body just was not cooperating. This round of IV mediation hit me harder than any others while on Cidofovir. I'm typically able to bounce back a few days after the infusion before I have to go back for the next one.
This round I was weak and nauseous the entire time. I wanted to juice, but had no energy and my meals were 90% carryout. I could barely make a cup of tea, so cooking wasn't even an option. This lead to some depression and the depression led to emotional eating and this led me right back to a hard case of IBS. Last week was the first full week off IV medication and I was sure that I would start to bounce back. I did make it to the gym 3 times but working out was hard and when I came home I was done for the day. This of course led to more emotional eating, mostly sugar. It hit me by the weeks end that I was really constipated, again. It had snuck up on me from out of nowhere. My back pain has been intense since last week and I just don't feel good.
I get it today, clearer than I ever have. My body needs certain things in this stage of my journey. There has been so much early damage to my immune system that my body needs help to be its best, especially as I age with HIV/AIDS. Yes, the antiviral medication keeps HIV under control, but basically thats all it does. So it's up to me to do the rest.
This week I'm back on it. I will be at the gym everyday, even if it means I come home and crash. If I keep working out, overtime I will have more energy, just like before. Yes, it's disheartening on some level, that I seem to be right back where I was 3 months ago. That first month of doing CrossFit was hard and I wasn't able to do a whole lot afterwards. I know in time it will render the results I'm shooting for, so I have to start somewhere.
Yep, I'm taking back my control. I Love myself enough to be good to myself. I only have one me and the choices I make today will impact my tomorrow. I wish I understood this when I was 20, before herpes, before HIV, but I can't beat myself up about what I didn't know. Instead I will take what I do know and use it to my advantage for my best life.
When I leave the gym, I'm stopping at the store to pick up items to get back to juicing everyday and I will be cooking, even if it's a light meal. I'm getting back to my chiropractor this week and trying some other alternative things like acupuncture and massage therapy at a new alternative clinic.
When I feel like I want to cling to food to comfort me, I will pop a grape in my mouth or have a slice of pineapple, rather than a cookie. Yes, there's sugar in fruit, but it's natural sugar and that's better than refined sugar any day. If I don't have the will-power to not eat emotionally right now, then I will eat the things that will do the least amount of damage to my body. Anyway, on the Paelo diet you can eat as much fruit as you want.
I've learned somethings about my body these last 3 months, it really does operate better under certain conditions. Every time I tried to have a big meal of pasta or some other unhealthy food, my nausea was compounded and my bloating was at full force. While I don't seem to be able to control herpes, I'm taking back the control I do have. I'm doing it today and I'm not giving it up again. My body is all I have and I want to be my best me for the rest of my life, even with HIV/AIDS.

David Wilson grew up in Butler, a steel and manufacturing town about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, but spent his career in Washington working for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. When he and his wife Rose, who worked at a court reporting firm, retired, they moved back to nearby Parker, a city of 20,000 at the height of the Pennsylvania oil boom that has since lost all but about a 1,000 residents. David describes himself as a conservative who never cared to get involved in politics until the Tea Party revolt of 2010. Rose spent most of her life as a Democrat. On Saturday the two drove an hour and a half southwest to see Paul Ryan speak at an airplane hangar in Moon Township, near the Pittsburgh airport. "People are realizing that Obama's a dictator who wants to take our rights away," says David, whose square-frames, flannel, and fluorescent orange undershirt make him look like every western Pennsylvanian's uncle. "Old Time Rock And Roll" kicks into the sound-system pumping through the spacious white hangar. "That's my favorite song," he says, pausing for a moment from politics. "Rose, my song is on! I dance to that and everybody else has to leave the floor." He allows himself a long, loud chuckle. "I take the whole dance floor when I dance to that one."
David and Rose are two of the hundreds who came out on a bleak day to the cracked concrete service park for this very impromptu campaign rally, to wave Romney-Ryan Terrible Towels and signs that say "Pennsylvania Believes" while their choice for the vice presidency gives a thirty minute stump speech.
They are rewarded when the gears of the hangar door grind open, slowly and noisily, and the nose of a Romney-Ryan campaign plane finally materializes. Ryan bounds down from the steps of the plane, its handrails fid with red, white, and blue bunting, and takes the stage in a red North Face jacket. His message is perfectly calibrated for this region of the country: he talks of President Obama's "war on coal" and of opening the keystone pipeline and of energy independence. He speaks of the pride he'll feel next year when he takes his ten-year-old daughter to shoot "her first deer, knowing that we will have just elected Mitt Romney the next president of the United States."
The precocious school boy stiffness he first exhibited on the stump seems to have left him in the last two months, even if can't really match the energy the crowd is giving back (the campaign schedule this weekend has him in Florida Saturday morning, then Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Omaha, Nebraska Saturday, followed by Colorado Monday and Nevada Tuesday...). This crowd doesn't seem to mind. They've been asked, after all, to hold those "Pennsylvania Believes" signs and keep the faith that this swing state, leaning more and more towards Democrats on the national ticket in recent presidential cycles, can be won. Ryan's presence in Pennsylvania is a sign of the campaign's own growing optimism about the state (they've considered moving resources here in the last week as the polls have shown the race tightening). "I have very good reason to believe that in Pennsylvania the presidential race right now is tied," Senator Pat Toomey, a movement conservative elected in the 2010 Republican wave, tells the crowd.
"I think it was inevitable that this would converge in the last few weeks. Republicans dominated this state in 2010 and it was mostly a reaction against the failed policies of the Obama administration," Toomey tells me after the rally. "But it had only been two years. Now [Obama's] on the ballot. We're in a good position. I feel very strongly that he's going to win Pennsylvania ." He's on to something, of course: Pennsylvania went for Obama by 10 points in 2008, but in 2010 the Governor's residence, a senate seat, and five new House seats were won by Republicans. They swept the state legislature. The people gathered today are older, yes, and appear to be what Romney would call "middle-income Americans," but their reasons for supporting him are now as vast and varied as they are for any candidate representing one of the major political parties: they hate the size of the national debt, think Obama grew the government, dislike the war in Afghanistan, believe the president disdains small business, believe they were lied to about Libya, are afraid the government will take over their health care, don't think he tried hard enough to create jobs with the Republican Congress.

Norma Zimmer
Singer was Welk 'Champagne Lady'
Norma Zimmer, 87, the "Champagne Lady" of television's "The Lawrence Welk Show" and a studio singer, died Tuesday at her home in Brea. Her son, Larry, did not give the cause of death.
Zimmer performed on Welk's network and later syndicated show from 1960 to 1982 as the "Champagne Lady," the title Welk traditionally gave to his orchestra's lead female singer. Zimmer sang solos, sang duets with Jimmy Roberts and waltzed with Welk to the strains of his effervescent dance tunes tagged "champagne music."

You thought the three-bar razor blade grille Ford's using lately was Gillette-inspired, check out Egochine, a single-person, tripod finalist in the Peugeot design contest. Creator Paolo De Giusti says it's "a vehicle built to carry a person very self-centered."
The car's conceived with a hydrogen fuel cell in the fuselage mounted ahead of the rear-seated driver and powering a pair of electric motors turning the two front. It takes inspiration from the fabulously-bodied Isotta-Faschini's and other coach-built classics. It also seems to take inspiration from the Gillette Fusion Power razor. [DVice]

The MAC Hermann Trophy is the most prestigious individual award in NCAA soccer presented annually to one male and one female athlete. The winners will be announced Friday, January 9, at the trophy presentation banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
Near the end of the collegiate regular season, NCAA Division I coaches will vote on their top choices and the lists will be narrowed down to the top 15 players. College soccer fans will also have the opportunity to participate in the selection process, by voting for their favorite semifinalist in November at the MAC Hermann Trophy website.
From that pool of 30, six finalists (three men, three women) will be chosen.
Last season, Daly set St. John's single-season records in both goals (23) and points (50) as she became the program's first-ever NSCAA All-American, earning a spot on the NSCAA Second Team All-America after being named to NSCAA All-Northeast Region First Team.
Daly finished the 2013 season tied as the nation's top goal scorer in Division I, helping guide the Red Storm to the NCAA Tournament Second Round after claiming the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament win.
Daly was also the undisputed choice as the Big East Offensive Player and Newcomer of the Year, while also being a unanimous selection to the All-Big East First Team.
The 2014 Watch Lists were announced earlier today on NSCAATV.com on the "2014 NSCAA College Soccer Review Show," which also revealed the 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire Preseason College Rankings for NCAA Division I men's and women's teams.

Best Ranking Performance Runner-up, Players Championship Grand Final 2014
Money list earnings 2012/13 + 2013/14: £77,704
Highest Tournament Break 143 - B&H Championship 2000
The 2013/14 season included major landmarks for Greene as he reached the final of events carrying ranking points for the first time.
At the Paul Hunter Classic European Tour event in Germany he won six matches to set up a final meeting against Ronnie O'Sullivan. Though he lost 4-0, Greene's results helped him qualify for the Players Championship Grand Finals in Preston in March 2014.
There he knocked out Ricky Walden, Anthony Hamilton, Mark Allen and Marco Fu to reach the final of a ranking event for the first time in his 21-year professional career. Greene had to settle for the £38,000 runner-up prize after losing the final 4-0 to close friend Barry Hawkins, but he was still delighted with his achievement, especially having escaped a downward spiral in his career.
"There have been some tough times over the last few years," said the Rainham-based cueman. "I always felt I was good enough to do well but I seem to bring the best out of other players. Consistency and confidence have been lacking. This has been a great week."
In 2011 at the PTT-EGAT World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand, playing alongside Mark Allen, Greene helped Northern Ireland reach the final, scoring 4-3 wins over Scotland in the quarter-finals and Hong Kong in the semis. Eventually, they were forced to settle for the runner-up prize after losing 4-2 to China.
At the 2007 Grand Prix in Aberdeen, Greene beat the likes of Ricky Walden and Joe Perry to earn his first ranking semi-final. "I'm chuffed," he said. "I've never doubted that I'm good enough to win a tournament and I'll carry on until I do so, even if I have to play until I'm 90."
It could have been even better for Greene but his battle with Marco Fu ended in an agonising 6-5 defeat when he missed the brown in the deciding frame when he needed just four more pots to set up a final with Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Greene lives in Kent but his family come from Belfast. He helped Northern Ireland to victories over the Republic of Ireland and England and a place in the semi-finals of the Nations Cup in 2001.

SAN FRANCISCO – Investigators in Alameda County, CA, believe a man sold animal steroids disguised as illegal human steroids to people in Bay Area fitness clubs, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Larry Brady of Discovery Bay, CA, was arrested on a warrant on May 17. Soon after, Alameda County Sheriff's Office investigators searched Brady's car and found a large amount of pharmaceutical tablets, suspected human steroids purchased from India, China and Mexico, and a large amount of what they believe are liquid animal steroids, according to the newspaper.
A sheriff's department spokesman said that Brady frequented California clubs in Dublin, San Ramon, Livermore and Contra Costa County, and is known to be involved in steroids from his prior criminal history.

We understand the worry and confusion that come with a diagnosis of cancer. In addition to superior medical care and the latest technology, Roswell Park provides a comprehensive range of services to help you cope with the emotional, financial and day-to-day concerns related to your illness.
When you walk through the doors of Roswell Park, rest assured that you'll find the care and support you need — before, during and after your cancer treatment.
Advance Blood Draw
Reduce the time you spend waiting at your next scheduled appointment — get your lab work and radiology tests done in advance. Roswell Park offers various lab work locations! Choose from three Roswell Park locations, or take advantage of our partnership with Catholic Health System, which allows you to select from three additional suburban locations. Schedule now in your Care Center or call 1-800-ROSWELL (1-800-767-9355).
Assessment and Treatment Center
The Roswell Park Assessment and Treatment Center (ATC) is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (last patient intake at 8:30 p.m.)* and weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (last patient intake at 4:30 p.m.)*.
This patient care service supports our current patients with immediate but non-life threatening symptoms during the day and when our clinics are closed. Please know that this is not a walk-in clinic and does require a referral from your Roswell Park physician or the physician-on-call. If you are experiencing non-life threatening symptoms, you should call your Roswell Park clinic. If your clinic is closed, call Roswell Park at 716-845-2300.
*Note that if you are experiencing non-life threatening symptoms after the ATC closes, you should still call us at 716-845-2300. There is always a physician on call to help you.
To expand care beyond the hospital's walls and hours of operation, Roswell Park became the first member institution of CancerConnect.com, an online community for people affected by cancer. CancerConnect.com is intended to serve as a source of information for patients, family members and caregivers and as a 24/7 extension of the support networks that are an important resource for cancer survivors, their friends and family. Visit the CancerConnect website to register.
Communication in All Languages
Patients who do not speak English, or who would prefer to speak a language other than English, have easy access to interpreters. Roswell Park contracts with the Language Line, a phone service that provides professional interpretation by certified medical interpreters in more than 170 languages, 24 hours a day.
Non-English-speaking patients can access Language Line services by making arrangements through any member of their health care team or, if off-campus, by calling Roswell Park's Cancer Information Program at 1-800-ROSWELL (1-800-767-9355), available Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
Data Bank and BioRepository
The Data Bank and BioRepository (DBBR) is a large database of information from patients and healthy individuals that may help us understand why some people get cancer and others do not. It may help shed light on the roles of lifestyle, genetics and environment in cancer; and explain why some patients do better with certain treatments. Participants must be over 18 and give a blood sample. Call 716-845-7774 to speak with a staff member and/or schedule an appointment. All information is confidential.
How to Read Your Pathology Report
Cancer treatments are becoming more and more targeted, so an accurate and comprehensive analysis by a pathologist is critical in determining the best approach. Learn how to read your pathology report.
Good nutrition is especially important while you are receiving cancer care. During your treatment, adequate intake of calories, protein, vitamins and minerals will help you to be strong, maintain your weight, and promote the healing process. Before and after your treatment, a healthy diet based on moderation, variety and balance will help to promote a good immune system, give you energy, and enhance your overall health. Our Nutrition and Food Service team is dedicated to providing nourishing meals and nutrition care to promote quality of life throughout the spectrum of your cancer care experience.
Group seminars are available on a variety of topics including eating during cancer treatment, healthy eating and cancer-related fatigue.
Palliative Care
Palliative care is a medical specialty devoted to caring for individuals with progressive illness. It is a common misperception that palliative care is offered only for patients who are ending curative treatment. However, the Supportive and Palliative Care Team at Roswell Park can join the care process at any time. This team of skilled specialists provides comfort to the patient and caregivers, addressing the many issues — emotional, physical, and practical — that are associated with cancer. If end-of-life care is needed, the Palliative Care team helps enhance the experience by facilitating hospice referrals and pastoral care support.
Patient Advisory Council
Created in 2012, Roswell Park's Patient Advisory Council represents a "culture change" in the way the hospital operates and how it receives feedback from our patients. Patients who join the advisory council become involved with every level of care and are invited to take a hard look at the services and procedures in place at Roswell Park, then provide suggestions for how to make improvements.
If you are interested in joining the Patient Advisory Council, please call Roswell Park's Department of the Patient and Family Experience at 716-845-8114.
Psychosocial Oncology
Our Psychosocial Oncology team is a lifeline for our leukemia patients, who often need to begin treatment quickly, even as they struggle to cope with their diagnosis. The team will support you from the very beginning, meet with you to determine your needs, offer counseling for you and your family, and provide a caregiver orientation and networking program for your loved ones.
As a comprehensive cancer center, we know that your social, emotional and spiritual well-being are as important as your physical health. Our social workers and clinical psychologists will work side by side with your medical team throughout your treatment and beyond. Services include:
- Educational programs about leukemia
- Emotional support, including support groups and psychotherapy
- Assistance in arranging sick leave and disability
- Arrangement of lodging, transportation or language/interpreter needs
- Linkage with financial assistance programs and other community resources
- Assistance with advance care planning, palliative care and/or hospice referrals, as needed
Purple Shirts
The American Cancer Society and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center worked together to create a healthcare hospitality program that connects patients and their families with cancer survivors. Dressed in purple shirts, these dedicated volunteers visit clinics throughout the Roswell Park hospital, bringing compassion, understanding, and practical information about Roswell Park resources and supportive services. If you don't see a Purple Shirt in your clinic and would like to speak to someone, please visit The Resource Center for Patients and Families at Roswell Park, or call the Office of Patient and Family Experience at 716-845-8114.
Resource Center for Patients and Families
The Resource Center for Patients and Families houses a mini-library of cancer-related information, from the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE® database to details about clinical trials. Patients who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment may also visit the center to choose a free wig, and patients and family members may borrow DVDs to watch while they're here at Roswell Park.

Chapter One
Disclaimer: Harry Potter, all other characters and the lovely world they live in all belong to the amazing J.K. Rowling. I'm just playing with them; I'll put them back when I'm done.
Dudley Dursley wasn't sure exactly when it occurred to him that life wasn't exactly what his parents told him it was. He'd love to be able to say that he realized this early on, that he'd recognized the strange happenings that occurred within his childhood home as wrong while they were taking place, but he found it hard to tell that lie even to himself. No, Dudley Dursley spent his entire childhood and adolescence firmly agreeing with his parents that he was the most special person in the entire world and that his cousin Harry, who had been left on their doorstep as a baby, was nothing more than a freak to be ridiculed and hated. He never thought it strange that he had everything he ever wanted while his cousin made do with whatever Dudley no longer wanted. It never occurred to him how strange it was that he had two bedrooms all to himself, and one sat empty most of the time, while Harry slept in the cupboard. He never questioned the amazing freedom he had, to go where he wanted, to do whatever he wanted unencumbered by the locks or long lists of chores that kept his cousin from doing the same. No, this was just the way life was in Dudley's world, and the differences between the way the two boys were treated was nothing to be concerned about after all, because Harry was abnormal, and Dudley was, as his mother kept reminding him, the most special person in the entire world.
As a result of being the most special person in the world, Dudley was entitled to have or do anything he wanted with no reprimand or recourse for any of his actions. Everything could be explained away with a good excuse or a lie, and whatever it was that Dudley was supposed to have done wrong was either someone else's fault, or a complete exaggeration on the part of the accuser, usually his cousin. Dudley never got punished for anything, and even in situations where he knew he was at fault, he was always able to shift the blame and the subsequent punishment to Harry. This had of course started at home, with his mother and father doting on him constantly, and had, with the encouragement of his parents, continued throughout his primary schooling. Leaving home for the first time to attend Smeltings had, if anything, only served to increase his overdeveloped sense of self worth. Smeltings was full of other students just like himself; in fact, the entire school seemed to cater to them. Each child there seemed to be just as spoiled as he, not a single one of them able to look beyond their own desires to the world beyond them and it was the perfect environment for Dudley to continue to cruise through life without a care in the world.
If everything had continued according to plan, Dudley would have gone to university at his father's Alma Mater, which, like Smeltings, would have allowed him to continue in his most-favored-boy status. He would have majored in business, just like his father; then gone to work at Grunning's at an entry-level position that would allow his father to quickly nudge him through the ranks. He would have continued with life as a Dursley: grown up to be a proper Dursley man, married a girl who would become a proper Dursley woman, spawn proper Dursley children whom he would then mold into smaller versions of himself, just as his parents had done to him. This was the plan, set into motion by his parents long before he was even born, and meticulously adhered to, even with the extra burden of dealing with his freaky cousin. Dudley never questioned the plan, never thought about anything different and was perfectly happy following along with it, and would have continued to do so if it weren't for one tiny wrinkle in it that appeared shortly before his leaving Smeltings. The wrinkle seemed like a blessing at first: it came in the form of a letter from a university athletics department that had heard great things about his boxing talent. This university, much larger and more prestigious than the one his father had attended, wanted Dudley to come and join their boxing program; in fact they wanted it so much they were willing to offer him a full scholarship if he were to accept. For the first time in his life, Dudley's actions started to deviate from the master plan.
His first month at University was a wake up call for Dudley. His parents had accompanied him to the campus to get him settled into his dormitory in their usual overbearing manner. His mother had fussed over him and his room, helped him get all of his possessions unpacked and made sure he was settled in the manner that she felt he deserved. He didn't think a thing of it; after all, they had done the same thing his first term at Smeltings, along with many of the other parents. However it seemed that here, it was different. His parents had barely disappeared around the end of the hallway, waving and blowing kisses, when he heard a great burst of laughter coming from the other end of the hall, intermixed with a girl's mocking voice talking about spoiled little boys who needed their Mummy to make sure they had remembered to bring all of their socks and underclothes. Dudley's face had flushed in a mixture of rage and embarrassment when he realized they were talking about him. He looked around and realized that the majority of his dormmates had arrived by themselves, and the few whose parents did accompany them, had managed to dispatch them away quickly. Contrasted with his own mother and the way she had spent several hours coddling him, in full earshot of the rest of the dorm, he felt the first ever chink in the world that he had up until now inhabited.
In anger, he turned to the only way he knew to deal with the mocking voices: he'd show them. After all, his fists had always served him well in the past; he'd just do to these people the same thing he'd done his entire life to those who dared to mock him. He didn't have trouble finding the source of the laughter, but once he saw the gathering of students, he realized that fighting wasn't an option for dealing with this. In the past, he'd always had his group of friends to back him up, and it was usually just dealing with one, or at the most, two people. Here, the situation was reversed. He found himself alone, staring at a mixed group of eight boys and girls around his own age, his fellow students, lounging in the room next door with the door open. Most of them looked away as he looked in; only two met his eyes. One, a tall boy with dark hair and broad shoulders had a challenging look in his dark eyes as he stared at Dudley. A few other boys also looked more than capable of sticking up for themselves and their friends if necessary. He realized in a flash that going into that room with fists swinging was a bad idea, so instead he just stopped and stared, trying to force a threatening look onto his face past the hurt that he was feeling. A curly haired girl, who was the only other person in the room to look at him, smirked at him and appeared to be trying to keep from laughing out loud. His attempt at intimidating them with a look didn't work the way it always had in the past, so without another word, he turned and walked away. Laughter rang out behind him again and he could have sworn he heard someone call out a goodbye to "Dinky Duddydums" as he left. Would his mother ever stop calling him that?
Dudley didn't know what to make of this turn of events. He had never been heckled or teased by anyone. Well, after his cousin Harry started at that freak school of his, he would make teasing comments to Dudley, but somehow that wasn't the same thing. Harry was his family, and for the longest time, he was also Dudley's victim. Harry had reason to hate him, and as angry as Dudley used to get over Harry's comments, he knew that it was the only way that the other boy had of striking at Dudley, and he had never let the comments bother him. However this was different; these people had no reason to make fun of him, he had never met them before in his life. A more sensitive soul than Dudley would have drawn the parallels between the way his new schoolmates treated him and the way that he and the gang of boys that he gathered around him had treated his schoolmates from nursery school right through to leaving Smeltings. However, Dudley never made this connection. He always had a reason for bullying his fellow students; these people had no reason for treating him this way. He was angry with them for making fun of him and angry with his mother for giving them the ammunition to use.
Life got no better after that first day. The curly haired girl kept popping up when he least expected it. She shared three subjects with him, and always seemed to be surrounded by a circle of friends as he passed between lectures. Likewise, she would pop up almost every time he ventured from his room for meals. Even his roommate, a small brown haired boy who had hardly said three words to Dudley since the start of term, could be seen in the group of people clustered around her in the dining hall. His course work was no better. Dudley had never been an exceptional student; quite the contrary: his grades were consistently near the bottom of the class, but he had never worried about it. His self-centered, bullying ways and poor work ethic that had served him so well in the past did nothing to endear him to his lecturers and they had no problems in letting him know.
By the end of two weeks, Dudley was starting to think he had made a mistake by accepting the scholarship. His dormmates had grown tired of teasing him about his mother and had moved on to his weight, his hair, and even his study habits. He had tried to retaliate in the first week, only to realize that his responses only egged them on further. They were much subtler than he had ever been, but their taunts affected him to the point where he was almost starting to empathize with his own victims over the years. The only thing that kept him going was his new boxing coach and the gym that was open to his disposal.
By the time three weeks had passed, Dudley was spending almost as much time in the gym working out as he did in class, and was sure that he had made a mistake by trying something new. The teasing hadn't increased; in fact, for most of the other students, as their work load picked up, they backed off a little, but the curly headed girl who had been the first one to throw taunts his way seemed to have no intention of easing up. He was just starting to recognize something of himself in her, and tried desperately not to let her see how deeply her words cut into him.
One month into the university term found him struggling in his subjects, incredibly lonely, and absolutely miserable. He had been called into a meeting with his boxing coach earlier that day and told that if his results didn't improve soon, he was going to be kicked out the program and his scholarship revoked. He had tried to wheedle his way around this with no success. The thought of losing the one thing he cared about at this university hit him hard, and he finally sat quietly and nodded when the conditions of his continued participation in the boxing program were laid out for him. He must attend all of his lectures regularly and maintain at least a passing mark in each of them. He would have access to a tutor if necessary, but he was going to have to put forth a fair amount of effort just to pull out passing marks.
That night saw Dudley hit the lowest point he'd ever encountered in his young, sheltered life. He was furious with his classmates, with his coach, with the unfair system that punished people like him, although he wouldn't be able to say how, if pressed. He should have never come here, he should have followed his father's footsteps and then he wouldn't have to deal with this; he could just move forward with his life the way he always planned, before this horrible place had lured him in with their scholarship offers. Screw it all, he didn't need this. His parents would love to have him back home and at the start of next term he could head to his father's old school, just as they had planned from the time he was a very small child. He didn't need this kind of stress in his life, he was special, hadn't his mother always told him that? He stormed around his room, gathering up his belongings and throwing them into his trunk. He'd call his parents and they would be more than happy to come and get him and those in this university who seemed intent on making his life miserable would just have to find a new target for their maliciousness. Halfway through this frantic packing session, his roommate walked in, took note of the situation, let out some sort of strangled squeak and left the room as quickly as he entered, the door remaining open behind him. Within seconds he heard laughter from the next room, along with a voice insisting that someone owed them ten pounds, because they had been sure that the ignorant whale of a mummy's boy would be flunking out before the end of term, and good riddance to him. Dudley stopped dead in the middle of his packing, feeling like he'd been hit in the head with something large and heavy, and felt the anger and resentment building in him. How dare they make those kind of assumptions about him; he had as much right to be here as they did. He finally felt a bit of a desire to prove himself and show that they were wrong, that he wasn't going to fail. A fierce determination grew deep within him and he reached for his trunk to unpack.
The rest of the term saw Dudley struggling, fighting not only his own tendency to slack off on anything that wasn't important to him, but also the attitudes of those around him, both teachers and classmates, who seemed to expect him to fail. He managed to eke out a tentative friendship with a few other students that occupied the fringes of campus life with him, and with the help of his tutor started making progress in his classes. Stung by the comments about his still considerable weight, he cracked down on his diet, following it more closely than he had since his first year of boxing at Smeltings. That, combined with the time he spent in the gym, started to make a noticeable difference in his appearance. His course work continued to be an issue: at the time he made the commitment to succeed, he had been so far behind it seemed impossible to salvage decent results. Still, by the time the Christmas holidays rolled around, and with them the end of the term, he had managed to squeak by.
Dudley had been looking forward to Christmas at home with his family since the first week of term. His parents had informed him that his Aunt Marge would be joining them, and Dudley was looking forward to seeing them as well as his friends. What he hadn't counted on was the fact that he had somehow, inexplicably, changed during his time at university. He wasn't sure what to make of this the first night he was home, when, for the first time in his life he looked upon his mother's fussing and simpering over him as an intrusion rather than a means to be able to manipulate her into giving him the things he wanted, whether it be toys, food or money. Even worse was the time he spent with the gang of boys he had grown up with, vandalizing the neighborhood and bullying anyone foolish enough to get in their way. Somehow now, long nights spent at the town centre or the cinema harassing the other patrons no longer appealed to him. Between his mother overwhelming him at every turn and his friends trying to get him to continue to be the same person he had been before he had felt the sting of that sort of harassment turned upon him, Dudley for the first time felt out of place in the home that used to be his sanctuary.
It wasn't until Christmas dinner that it finally hit Dudley that his lifelong ambition to grow up to be exactly like his father was no longer appealing to him. He had felt a bit off-kilter all day. He had been unexpectedly overwhelmed by the sheer number of gifts thrust upon him that morning and a full day of listening to his father and Aunt Marge criticize everything from the state of the local government, to the audacity of teenagers these days, to the family down the street who dared to allow their daughter to socialize with the sort of people rarely seen on Privet Drive. Since Dudley had been very small, he had wanted nothing more than to grow up to be exactly like his father, a sentiment encouraged by his mother. But he now realized exactly what that would entail, as he saw the man for who he was for the first time. He remembered their treatment of his cousin, who had walked out of their life eighteen months ago and hadn't been heard from since. He knew first hand of the intolerance directed towards anyone who dared to be little different, to show any sort of individuality. As his father became louder and more boorish with every successive glass of wine consumed, the realization sank deeper and deeper into Dudley that this was not what he wanted for the rest of his life, and the thought scared him.
A/N: Thanks so much to the wonderful Pumpkin Juice for beta reading this for me, she did an amazing job of cleaning it up for me. This story was interesting, I woke up one morning with the plot fully formed in my head, and the biggest challenge I had was finding the time to type it up. Also, I have been made aware that the whole athletic scholarship thing really isn't realistic in the UK university system, (especially for as poor a student as our Dudley), but I was in need of someway of getting Dudders to that point, so I hope you all will forgive me that one issue. I hope you all enjoy!

As expected, the Minnesota Vikings will be without wide receiver Percy Harvin for a third consecutive week.
Harvin has been downgraded from doubtful to out, and he won't travel with the Vikings for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Harvin still isn't right after spraining his left ankle in three places during a Nov. 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Harvin participated in catching drills Friday, but he hasn't practiced with teammates.
"The ability to push off and change direction seems to be giving him a little bit of trouble," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Friday, via The Associated Press.
Without Harvin, the Vikings could be in serious trouble against the Packers. Harvin's injury did more than derail an MVP-worthy season -- it also removed balance from the Vikings' offensive attack.

|System: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii
|Dev: Sega-AM3
|Release: May 10, 2011
|Players: 1-4
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
|Comic Mischief
Multiplayer has a very limited selection, but it's still enjoyable to find quick matches with strangers. You're basically confined to ranked exhibition matches, trying to climb up the leaderboard by performing well. You can join up with friends in the clubhouse for more games, but that's pretty much where the multiplayer feature ends. With a good connection, the matches have a nice pace, but the game is still marred by the simple controls and ease of returning the ball, making strategy, even against a human opponent, almost a moot point.
Virtua Tennis 4 is a mixed bag of graphical niceties and odd choices. The shading is excellent, and there's good use of bold colors. The watercolor introduction cinematics, complete with actual character imaging, do a good job representing the game. The matches are where you'll find some disjointedness. The details and textures are definitely a big step up from previous games, but the character models could have been better. Getting a close look during replays, some faces are accurately rendered, while others don't even look close. Sharapova, in particular (whom they also did a poor job on in Virtua Tennis 3), looks way off. Of course, as with all tennis games, the hair is the critical part to get right, and Sega nailed the bobbing and flowing animations perfectly. Visually, the biggest head-scratcher is the facial sweat. While good body sweat shows with drenched clothing clinging to the body, the obscenely large, white—yeah, white—beads of sweat on the characters' faces give the appearance that their skin is melting away. The audience animations, which often cheapen the look of tennis games, are presented fairly well. However, with a palette that is far too selective between venues, things tend to look a little sterile.
Unlike the graphics, which have good and bad points, the music and sound must settle for mediocre and bad respectively. The music, while far from irritating, has no cohesive style. It seems to jump from trance to elevator music to Japanese-inspired pop. The sound effects are where Sega really slacked off. The player grunts are limited and only rarely match the actual grunts some of the pros make. Boring ball-hitting sounds and a lack of shoe squeaks suggest that very little effort was put into the audio. Even distancing was neglected, as the grunts from the player on the far side of the court resound equally if not more so than those from the player closest to the screen.
Sega had an opportunity to embrace an unorthodox approach to tennis. Virtua Tennis 4 could have been full of unexpected surprises which, although breaking away from realism, would have offered something different. While they may tout Virtua Tennis as an alternative to the simulation formula, all this game offers is an odd career mode and only a handful of pros and minigames to choose from.

Why Do Lottery Players Think They Can Defy Odds?
It's the ultimate fantasy: Walk into a store, plunk down a dollar and with nothing but extraordinary luck — you win a giant lottery.
The odds of that happening are astronomical. But tell that to the optimists and dreamers who lined up at gas stations, mini-marts and drug stores Monday for the last-minute Mega Millions ticket-buying frenzy.
The $586 million prize — fourth-largest in U.S. history — could grow by Tuesday night's drawing.
Experts say what drives people to play is the same thing that drives people to gamble: the fantasy of quickly improving your life amid financial anxieties and uncertainty.
The huge Mega Millions prize stems from a major game revamp in October that dramatically reduced the odds of winning.
