"Really," Daphne repeated. She was sitting, perched upright, on the grassy knoll flowing down to the lake. Above her, a small ray of sunshine threatened to break through the clouds, and its glow illuminated the edges of a patch of cloud.
It was a week since the battle, a week since the victory over Voldemort (though it sometimes seemed easy to forget it was a victory, in the tired sadness of clearing the debris and burying bodies).
"... Oh, it's just-" Daphne broke off and sighed. "Really!"
"Really what?"
"What I was saying, Seamus." She glanced at him, (im)patient amusement in her eyes. "I know you're not daft, you're just not paying attention. What are you thinking of?"
"Oh," Seamus said, and paused blankly. What had he been thinking of? Had he even been thinking?
Dean, possibly? Dean, who had elected to spend time with Luna and Neville. They'd become close friends during their time at Malfoy Manor- but the thought of them being at Malfoy Manor still made Seamus' blood boil, especially when he remembered seeing Malfoy through the entire bloody year.
(It was amazing how like Dean, the old Dean, he was, now that Seamus thought of it. Not like Lavender, who had changed so much in front of his eyes, or Neville, who had just swelled and grown and made everyone else in Gryffindor who once laughed at him feel like a coward.)
But just then, he hadn't been thinking of Dean, at least not before. He hadn't been thinking of Fred- or George- or Professor Lupin, or his young wife, or Colin Creevey (he hadn't been so annoying in the end, a really nice bloke)- he hadn't been thinking of Harry, or Voldemort, or the battle. Guilt squirmed in his stomach like a giant tentacle thrashing against a weakening dam.
""Oh"," Daphne mimicked, amusement evident in her tone. "I suppose that must function for an answer now."
"But you were going to say something. Or you had said something," said Seamus with mild consternation. "I want to hear what it was."
Daphne gave a small rueful laugh and sat up, her eyes staring, unseeing, to the lake.
"It's not terribly important. Well, it is- dreadfully important- but I don't think anyone will listen. And in time, people will forget." She drifted off, her voice filled with that tired, sad strain. It seemed the war had infected everyone with it. "I think that was the problem, really- people forgetting. And then not caring, but just getting swept up in everything." She sighed, but when she spoke again, it was with some force and anger. "People can be so incredibly stupid!"
As she gave a heavy sigh, drawing her knees to her chin, Seamus began piecing together the many strands she had left untied. It was a habit of hers, he'd realised. When they'd first met, he'd thought it was to do with the circumstances (none of which had been ideal), but ever since they'd started spending more time with each other following the war, he realised it was just Daphne. She wasn't used to voicing all her thoughts, and she certainly wasn't going to piece it all together for someone else.
She had been saying something about forgetting, and forgetfulness being the cause of peoples' stupid actions. Or perhaps it was people being stupid that made them forget. But what made them forget what exactly?
"You know what I mean," Daphne said flatly, not looking at him. "You know, but you don't realise the implications, or you're trying to avoid them. But you know, Seamus, you can't not know. You saw it in your own House."
"Saw what?" asked Seamus, genuinely bewildered.
"Longbottom!" Daphne said, impatience beginning to seep into her voice. "Weasley! All those purebloods who tried to forget that they were purebloods, so that they could ignore what the war was about, as opposed to actually trying to address the fact that there is a difference when it comes to blood! It's no reason to adopt a supremist attitude but there is a difference- and it's as though everyone is simply wilfully ignoring it!"
Seamus blinked. He hadn't actually thought of that, not much. It hadn't seemed to make such a difference- bloody hell, Harry and Ron got along like a house on fire from the very start, and Harry had been raised as a muggle.
He was about to open his mouth to argue when memories of Mam and Da butted their way into his mind, elbowing excuses out of the way with a viciously uncaring abandon. Mam, telling him to stop talking to Michael, especially as the days drew nearer to the arrival of his Hogwarts letter- Da, losing it with Mam and telling her to stop controlling Seamus' life. Mam and Da arguing over the amount of time Seamus spent with Aunt Caitlin, on Mam's side- Da's face whenever he witnessed Seamus' accidental magic as a child.
A moth buffeted past him, against the wind. Its wings looked like the fabrics he'd seen Da's sister, Aunt Nora, stitching. It was part of her work for the Church, to hem the slightly coarse and ripped cotton, loose ends threatening to spill.
"I never thought of that," Seamus admitted quietly. He wondered if Daphne would even hear what he was saying, or if the wind would just carry it away like that struggling moth. He half hoped the latter would occur. "It seemed- wrong during the War, to think that- that-"
"That blood makes a difference?"
Daphne turned around to him, a strange, anguished half smile on her face.
"But it does, Seamus," she insisted, "Blood does make a difference. There's a language, a culture- old houses and ancestors, magical mishaps, Beadle and the Founders instead of those- those brothers' fairytales. That comes with blood, and no matter how brilliant a muggleborn is, nothing changes the fact that it's a completely different heritage."
"Yeah- but heritage and difference isn't any reason or excuse for a war!" said Seamus, a horrified sensation of sinking strangely rising up his windpipe.
She's a Slytherin, mate.
And had Dean ultimately been right?
He glanced worriedly at Daphne, whose lips were pursed ever so slightly, and whose brow was darkened ever so lightly.
"No, nothing can excuse the horror of the past few years," she said, and the horrible sinking feeling started slowly to recede. Nevertheless, she chewed at her lower lip. "Still, I can't help but think that magical and non-magical relations are problematic. Is our solution of hiding away until some wizard or witch falls in love with a muggle really so sustainable?"
"I love yer mother, Seamus, I do- but if I'd known then as I know now-"
He saw his father, shoulders drooping, Guinness in hand.
"You'd what, Da?"
"Don't yeh fret, Seamus, we gotta get yer to London soon. Packed?"
"And then asking that muggle to put behind their life and live a secret, aside from their family and friends," Seamus muttered, his gaze dropping to the grass. It was green, fresh from the rain- green for martyrdom. Glasmartre. "Because their kid might just prove to be magical."
"Seamus, what the bloody- oh Jesus, oh Jesus."
His father, cradling his hand.
"I'll take yer to yer Ma, she'll fix this. It's ok, son, it's ok."
He felt a cool, soft pressure on his hand and looked up, startled, as Daphne quickly drew her hand back to her robes.
"Well- anyway," she said, looking mildly flustered, "it- it is problematic. But 'blood' was only ever a pretence for- for- most of the Death Eaters, for this past year or two. Fighting for purity of blood when half of them were halfbloods- absolute bollocks."
Seamus laughed.
"D'you know, I've never heard you swear," he grinned, and she pulled a face at him.
"Clearly it's the insidious influence of being near a rogue Irishman," she retorted, but laughed with him; a clear, low laugh that made all comparisons about bells and whatnot seem derivative and cheap.
Soon- too soon- her laughter died away, and the air was as still as the lake lying ahead.
The question burst forth before he had really had much time to consider it, but as the words came and he tested them, he realised they were exactly what he meant to ask.
"What d'you think should be done, then? With- well, what you were saying."
"Well, there should be-" Daphne paused, and looked at the ground, almost shyly. "I was thinking something more needed to be done for integration- I have thought so, for a while. It would be a drain on taxes and resources, or so people will argue, but we need more research done into integration and non-integration, not merely of Muggle-borns but of their parents, and from that we'd need people who could begin to develop policies and-"
"You've thought this fairly well, haven't you?" said Seamus, grinning.
Daphne smiled modestly and looked down at her lap.
"Well, thought," she said, "although no one will want me to spearhead any new department now, seeing as I am a Slytherin." She looked down at her hands, the corners of a frown lightly touching her eyes.
"That's not true," Seamus protested, and she raised a carefully sculpted eyebrow at him. "Well-" he paused. "Harry and the others won't be so black and white. And I'm sure-"
"Ah," Daphne smiled, looking up, "so you're talking about nepotism. It also works, in the end- deep down, I think everyone is at least part Slytherin."
Then she laughed, a real laugh, and despite the half-protests that bubbled up to his lips, Seamus felt them slip away, until a small laugh escaped from his lips, too.
"Thank you," she said, eventually, her voice small. Her eyes flickered to Seamus' (had she always looked so small?) before falling to the grass. "People don't usually listen to me- let alone understand. And think. People hardly think."
"They do if you speak," Seamus said. "Maybe you should just speak louder."
Her eyes filled with amusement as the corners of her lips quirked.
"Oh Seamus, you're such a Gryffindor," she said fondly, turning to him.
Maybe it was the way that the light was sneaking through the lazy clouds, or the way that the wind had just died down so that the world seemed to fall into a lull. Maybe it was just the tone of her laugh, or the way she was looking at him. He wasn't sure at the time, or even in later times, when he thought back to it. But whatever it was, the words tumbled out of his mouth before he'd even known they were there, and it was only when he heard them that he realised how much he meant them.
The funny thing was, he couldn't remember much of what he said past "Daphne", but what did it matter when she was looking at him like that, with a glowing, almost achingly warm light in her eyes that he'd only seen previously as glimmers in dark and lonely hallways?
"Well?" he said, and licked his lips.
Daphne's mouth fell into a little "o", then she blinked and laughed, biting her lip.
It was the first time he'd seen Daphne speechless, and anxiety flared up, tearing at everything in its path.
Daphne only shook her head and gave another strange laugh.
"You don't have to and it's ok if you just leave and ignore me," Seamus babbled, thinking that it would be anything but ok if Daphne chose to do anything remotely like that.
"Me?" Daphne said, and her voice was filled with so many emotions Seamus couldn't begin to untangle them. "You'd ask me- a Slytherin."
"As if that matters to me what House you're in!" Seamus said, disbelievingly. "You know what I think, aren't you the one who told me not to judge people in groups anyway?"
"You hardly know me!" she half breathed, her voice fearful and desperate and slightly wild all at once.
"I know you well enough to know I want to know you better," he retorted. "Daphne!"
She looked at him, her eyes a pool within which rays of (fear? hope?) melted, clashed- resolved.
"Well-" he swallowed. "Daphne, will you?"
"Will I what?" she whispered, her hand sliding between his. Seamus hoped he wasn't imagining the anxiousness in her voice that buffeted like a moth's wings in the heavy autumn wind. "It would be awfully easier to answer if you asked a real question, you know."
Now would have been a nice time to have had some sort of, well, something, prepared. Go on a date with me seemed so trivia, so menial, in the light of all that had passed. Be my girlfriend seemed simultaneously serious and simultaneously juvenile. "Come on a picnic with me?" he finished, lamely.
Daphne raised one eyebrow at him, clearly amused.
"Go on a- date with me?" he asked lamely, hoping the words did not sound so dreadfully lame to her.
She turned to him, her face filled with uncertainty, and she looked so young he had to remind himself that they were still, after everything, only just eighteen.
"Me?" she asked, and her voice half cracked with uncertainty. "Seamus, you don't want to ask me- I'm a Slytherin, my parents-"
"You know I care bollocks about that," he retorted fiercely, trying to ignore how the cauldron near his chest was threatening to spill with boiled bubbles. "Just one. Will you come?"
Panicking, he saw the light in her eyes flicker, dim.
"With the promise of more to come," he added, hastily, and the cauldron was bubbling and roaring so loudly it had some reached his ears, and how could she not hear?
"I-" uncertainty bubbled and swirled into hesitation- and was that glee, eagerness? Was he reading, seeing correctly? And then she was glancing away, at the ground, and he counted the blades of grass as she expertly flicked, pulled- one, two, three... five... seven-
- but then her eyes were raised and looking at his once more, and the light in them was almost unbearably rich, and he knew, even before she spoke, even before she breathed, "I think I'd like that; very much" what she was going to say.
He reached out for her- how small her frame was, how easily she fit against him- and almost of their own accord her arms seemed to wind around his neck, into his hair. And as he lowered his face to hers,he felt bluebell flames whispering through the darkness of night, and knew that somehow- somehow- it had all converged not only in, but for, this.
A/N: A mildly edited version of "Ease". The title is meant to be a pun, based upon sewing discourse where the fibres of a fabric are pulled together more closely than upon their initial make. This is where I've wanted my Daphne/Seamus storyline to head, ever since "Like Bambrack, or an Inauspicious Meet" so I hope it has worked!

Sensation is a mixed bag
Sail Date: January 17, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
Please note that last month we did two short west coast cruises on sister ships--the Imagination and the Inspiration. Identical ships, in many ways. 4 day itineraries, too Here's how the Sensation compares with the above two ships a month later:
Clean and nice: not so much; worn; sewer smells in the hallways--often; water stopped working on part of the ship
Buffet: Same food as other 2 ships, but very good; good job here.
Dining: Tasteless and drab;Cannot compare with the EXCELLENCE of the Imagination or Inspiration.
Cabin: Fine, but some smells emerged on one day
Service: Outstanding service, people, staff.
Entertainment: Better entertainment here than on the other ships, actually.
I am being very fair. Still, I would avoid this ship in the future, because the food experience in the dining room is so comparatively weak.

Mendel, Gregor Johann
Mendel was the first to fashion, by means of a controlled pollination technique and careful statistical analysis of his results, a clear, analytic picture of heredity. His account of the experiments and his conclusions, published in 1866 (tr. Experiments in Plant Hybridization, 1926), were ignored during his lifetime. Rediscovered by three separate investigators (Correns, de Vries, and Tschermak) in 1900, Mendel's conclusions have become the basic tenets of genetics and a notable influence in plant and animal breeding.

Never mind that celebrity mums (or dads) rarely make the best role models – think Britney Spears, Kerry Katona or even Kate Moss – superstars from the pop, fashion and movie worlds have decided that they know best when it comes to dressing your newborn child. Not content at dabbling with perfumes, party frocks or even bed linen, celebrities now believe that the humble babygro is somewhat lacking when it comes to showbiz buzz.
Retail experts predict a rash of copycat collaborations after the first items from Myleene Klass's new range for Mothercare hit the baby specialist's stores this summer. The pop-star-turned-bikini-model, who recently joined the new mums' club, has lent her name – and design input – to a collection that Mothercare hopes will boost its share of the UK's £1.4bn babywear market. Baby K, which is Klass's first step down the celebrity-endorsed clothing road, will feature clothing and accessories for newborns to three-year-olds.
Klass, who approached Mothercare about the project when she was three months pregnant, told The Independent on Sunday: "I want to provide a range that's practical as well as beautiful .... I've been extremely hands on [with the design process]. I brought in samples, sketched ideas and explained the concerns I have from embroidery rubbing to buttons, washing, quality, safety and practicality – trying to button something in the middle of the night can prove a test in itself! I even brought one of my own dresses in as inspiration to be reduced to one-20th the size."
Mothercare is jumping on board the celebrity bandwagon for the first time as it battles intense competition in the fastest-growing area of the childrenswear market. Babywear sales soared by 30 per cent between 2005 and 2007 with the growing contingent of older mums spending more on dressing their new arrivals. Fashion chains such as Primark, specialist retailers like Mamas & Papas, the big grocers and even luxury brands from Marc Jacobs to 3.1 Phillip Lim are all rolling out new babywear collections.
Vivianne Ihekweazu, senior consumer analyst at Mintel, said: "People like to emulate celebrities' styles and how they dress their children. Given that there seems to be a celebrity baby boom this year, celebrities are definitely a potential new force in this [the babywear] market."
So far, just a handful of famous mums have launched children's collections. Madonna followed her debut as a children's book author last autumn with a clothing range called English Roses; Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers label has a baby line; and the supermodel Stella Tennant has had a range called Tennant & Sons. Celebrity dad designers are somewhat rarer, although Bon Jovi's drummer Tico Torres has his own baby products company called Rock Star Baby, and Martin Sheen is an investor in the childrenswear company Jackson Clay, which has links to his family.
But celebrities are queuing up to get in on the act, according to the babywear chain Mamas & Papas. "We get offers from celebrities all the time but have declined them all so far because we can't see what a celebrity, even someone who is already a well-known designer, could bring to our brand. When celebrities design clothing lines it's normally about reflecting their style, which is difficult to do with their babies. The benefit to the customer isn't apparent," a company spokesman said.
Other high-street chains are keener. New Look, which launched Lily Allen as a designer, said it would "love to do something" with the right celebrity. And Topshop also said it might consider expanding its "Topshop mini" collection with a designer-inspired line.
Not all baby pundits are convinced about the merits of this new wave of designers. Stephanie Neuman, editorial director of Babyworld, a website for mums, said: "Celebrity collections will have a novelty factor and could be popular at baby showers. But I don't think that just because Myleene has had a baby she suddenly knows how to design baby clothes."

The rebels have extended a ceasefire but urged the interim government to "advance the peace talks".
The rebels called a truce after King Gyanendra ended direct rule and restored parliament in April.
The Maoists and a seven-party alliance clinched a landmark power-sharing deal in June.
More than 13,000 people have died in violence in Nepal since the rebels began their fight for a republic 10 years ago.
During the insurgency, there have been two other sets of peace talks, three years ago and five years ago.
'Key to peace'
The leader of the UN team, Staffan de Mistura, has said that he would hold extensive talks with the government and the Maoists during the course of the week-long visit.
"The meeting was very important and very positive and we are very much encouraged," Maoist leader Prachanda was quoted as saying after Friday's meeting by the AFP news agency.
Separately, he issued a statement declaring that the ceasefire had been extended by three months.
"Expressing the commitment and responsibility (for peace) our party has extended the ceasefire for another three months," Prachanda said.
He said an eight-point understanding between the rebels and the government last month was key to establishing peace.
"But the government and seven political parties are trying to back out from it under different pretexts," he said.
"We strongly urge the government to show eagerness to advance the peace talks .. otherwise we will be forced to declare another strong peaceful movement," Prachanda said.
Some analysts say that the Maoists' failure to make their truce indefinite, as the government has done, shows that the rebels are still some distance away from mainstream politics.
But the BBC's Charles Haviland in Kathmandu says the Maoists will be pleased at this level of UN involvement, something they have long wanted.
The government and the rebels have differed recently over a government plan for the United Nations to be involved in the decommissioning of the rebels' weapons.
Correspondents in Kathmandu says that these differences are unlikely to derail the peace process which it is hoped will culminate in bringing an end to the decade-old conflict.
The political landscape has been shaken up since the king restored representative rule.
Opposition parties - who had been speaking to Prachanda while out of power - have since joined the government.
The new government has released rebels from jail, dropped terrorism charges against them and agreed to the ceasefire.
But differences remain between the two sides over the future of the monarchy.
The rebels hope elections will clear way towards abolishing the monarchy, but the prime minister has ruled that out.

The Vet Charity Challenge 2014 will take place on Saturday, September 27 at St Francis School, Pewsey, near Marlborough in Wiltshire.
Last year the event raised £50,000 and involved teams of four walking/running, cycling and kayaking, as well as some orienteering and mental and physical tasks.
Registration will open at the start of April. Spaces are limited and in 2013 filled up very fast, so to avoid disappointment organisers are recommending to book early.
The charities being supported in 2014 will be Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) and Cats Protection.
Gavin Mitchell from BCF Technology said: "We were delighted at the success of the Vet Charity Challenge in 2013 – we had 50 teams taking part and raised £50,000 for three deserving charities. We hope to top this in 2014, making the event even bigger and better than last year."
Andrew Groom from Kruuse added: "A massive thanks to all who took part in 2013 and to all who donated. We hope to see you all back plus more in 2014, to continue to make this a great event."
The Vet Charity Challenge is sponsored by BCF Technology, Kruuse and Vétoquinol and supported by the VPMA and Veterinary Practice magazine.

Or, "it's a thin line between love and theft"
"... The songwriting credits for Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk have been expanded. It is now attributed to 11 different writers. The new credits have been given to the writers of the Gap Band's Oops Up Side Your Head: group members Ronnie Wilson, Charles Wilson and Robert Wilson, plus producers Rudolph Taylor and Lonnie Simmons. They join the six writers already credited: Ronson, singer Bruno Mars, producers Jeff Bhasker and Philip Lawrence, plus Nicholas Williams (Trinidad James) and Devon Gallaspy, who received credits for the use of a sample of Trinidad James's All Gold Everything." (The Guardian)
11 writers! A sort of coalition of "inspiration"
"The credits followed a claim by the publisher Minder Music, reports Billboard. The claim, rather than being sent to Ronson's label or publisher, was filed with YouTube's content management system in February. The Oops writers are believed to be taking a 17% share of the song."
I thought the Marvin Gaye estate was trying it on big-time re. "Blurred Lines" - different melody, you can't copyright a vibe - but can't help feeling "good for the Gap boys" since Ronson's whole career is recycling-based, Bruno really doesn't need the money (and is also a serial recycler and retro-nuevo "renovator"), and the Gap Band deserve more.... everything, really. Love, respect, collective-memory-share, and $$$$. If not inventors, they were prime exponents of the Downstroke Snare-Thwack. Started many, many a party. And had a great look.

Hey guys! My name is Caleb Hudson and I work for Seth Deming Films, a videography company based out of DeKalb, IL, about 60 miles west of Chicago, and we want to make a live action Attack on Titan video for fun in the next few months. We have the skill, we have the equipment, we have the desire, but we don't have any costumes, and that's when we decided to reach out to you guys. We are looking for Attack on Titan cosplayers who would be interested in being a part of this video. We would be filming in the downtown DeKalb area and would love to get connected to other people who are interested.

If you have a small family, this may sound silly. "Why use a special tracker for birthdays or anniversaries when you can count them on one hand?"
I totally identify with that. I grew up in a very small family. Mom, Dad, my brother Seth, and me. Oh yes, my maternal grandparents, as well. Six! We even celebrated the dog's birthday (November 29) so that we could have one more. Remembering the dates was easy.
Now that I'm all grown up, our family has become a BIG one and we're all close. Remembering the birthdays and wedding anniversaries is beyond memorizing. I need help!Our Family: one great-grandpa, my husband (grandpa), myself (grandma), our five children, five children-in-law, 11 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, our siblings (2 aunts, 3 uncles), their 5 spouses, 1 nephew, 2 nieces, 2 nephews-in-law, 2 grand-nephews, 1 grand-niece and another on the way. 45 people! And that's just family. Add many significant friends to the list, as well. Try keeping track of all that in your head! Not going to happen.

There's No Such Thing as a Ghostie(2004)
A Picture Book by Cressida Cowell
The Queen has finished her royal tea and it's two more hours till bedtime so she suggests a hunt for ghosties. She and Peter-the-Page are the only ones who believe they exist as they all race through the Royal Palace looking for them. Pompous Sergeant Rock Hard of Her Majesty's Guard teases the other characters for being cowardly and pretends to be very brave, but when they get to the tower, he turns out to be the cowardliest custard of them all. He runs away screaming, thinking he's seen a ghostie, and the other characters bring him cocoa in bed, explaining it was only a tiny bat. The Queen and Peter the Page stay behind in the tower to play with the ghosties, who had been following them all along.

I am a social/personality psychologist interested in the links between cognition and motivation. Much of the research in my laboratory focuses on laypeople's implicit theories. Current projects investigate implicit theories about
1. the fixedness/malleability of human traits
2. human genetic variation
3. the ingredients that make an act intentional.
My students and I investigate how such beliefs influence basic attribution and stereotyping processes, as well as moral reasoning.
Primary Interests:
- Causal Attribution
- Motivation, Goal Setting
- Person Perception
- Prejudice and Stereotyping
- Self and Identity

What information does a check need to have?
- The payor information. If you have a check lacking this info (known as a temporary, starter, or counter check) it's not eligible for Photo Check Deposit, but you can deposit it by mail.
- Your name in the "Pay to the Order of" field. We can't accept checks that are made out to another person, even a friend or family member, except for minor children in your care. If you do have a check that you'd like to deposit for a minor child, and we'll let you know how to submit the check.
- A current date. We can accept checks up to 6 months after the date on the check, unless the check says it will be considered void before that point.
- The amount. The check should have a written and a numerical amount, and they need to match.
- The issuer's signature.
How about a money order?
Money orders are easy to fill out. If the money order has a line for the purchaser's signature, make sure that the person who bought the money order signs it before you deposit it. Then, make sure your name is in the 'Pay to' field and endorse it just like a check (including your account number and signature on the back).
Endorsing a deposit
To endorse a check or money order for deposit at Simple, sign it and add your account number. Make sure to use ink, and not a pencil.
Things to keep in mind
- The check has to be legible and in reasonably good condition. If it's torn or voided, we cannot accept it and you'll need to get a new check from the payor.
- Since your Simple account is a personal account, the check must be in your name. We're not able to accept checks made out to another person or a business.
- If the check is made out to more than one person, we can accept if it's made out to "your name or another name," but not if it says "your name and another name" unless you have a Shared account with that person.
- There is one notable exception to this rule: we are able to accept joint tax refund checks that are made out to you 'and' your spouse, even if you don't have a Shared account. You'll both need to endorse the check.
- We cannot accept checks that are written from another personal account you own. If you'd like to move money from another personal bank account to Simple, you can link an external account.
- We're not able to accept cash advance checks from credit card issuers.
- We're unable to accept U.S. Savings Bonds. Many smaller banks, including our partner bank, are unable to calculate the interest on these bonds. If you have a bond you need to cash, you may be able to do so at a local bank (even if you're not a customer). There's usually a limit on the amount you can cash per day. The Treasury webpage outlines all the options for cashing bonds.
- If you have a check in a former legal name, or if your legal name has changed recently and you need to change the name on your Simple account, give us a call at 888-248-0632 or and we'll help you through the process.
- We're not currently able to accept international checks. We're working towards the ability to process them in the future.
Hit us up if you're not sure whether or not we'll be able to accept a specific check. We're happy to take a look at it and see!

Westover, Alabama (The Weekly Vice) - Barry Scott Vick, a 41-year-old Alabama man, was jailed Friday after he allegedly attacked a relative with a razor blade.
According to the Shelby County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to residence in Westover after receiving a report of domestic violence assault.
When deputies arrived on the scene, they found two male relatives that had been involved in a physical altercation. One of the men had been cut across the chest with a razor blade.
Both men were treated at the scene and then transported to a local hospital for evaluation. The victim, identified as Joshua Henderson, was treated and released.
Vick was booked into jail and charged with first-degree domestic violence and is currently being held without bond.

They were left baffled over whether they could face court for using slaps to discipline their children.
Ministers insist they will not be prosecuted for giving "mild" smacks. But critics warn that the wording of the laws could leave parents vulnerable to over-zealous prosecutors.
Serious questions about the legislation emerged today after MPs voted to introduce curbs. In a major victory for parents, the House of Commons yesterday rejected calls for a total ban on all smacking.
However, they backed an amendment limiting the type of smacks which can be defended in court. Parents will no longer be able to use the key defence of "reasonable chastisement" for smacks which cause "actual or grievous bodily harm".
The move means parents who administer blows which leave marks or bruises on a child's skin now have little or no defence in court.
Crucially, parents who administer smacks which do not cause any visible harm will still be able to use the reasonable chastisement defence.
But police and legal experts fear the complex definitions could mean some parents are treated unfairly. Terry Grange, child protection spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers, said: "Some children redden or bruise much more easily than others. Such randomness could lead to much more complexity."
Critics also point out that reddening or bruising can be seen much more easily on the skin of white children than on black children.
Today the Government tried to play down fears of unfair prosecutions. A spokesman for the Department for Education and Skills, overseeing the legislation, said parents will only face prosecution if they cause "actual bodily harm": "Parents will still be able to use the reasonable chastisement defence for mild smacks," he said.
But child protection organisations fear the new laws could be worse than current legislation. Mary Marsh, chief executive of the NSPCC, said: "Bad reform is worse than no reform, and that is what these proposals amount to.
"Violence to children is still legally acceptable as long as you are careful not to leave a mark."
