Unwarranted attack on Michael Jackson
November 3, 2009
SHAME ON THE Oct. 28 article by Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune regarding the release of the Michael Jackson film "This Is It. " He perpetuates the false accusations that Michael was a child molester, that he was Wacko Jackson, that he had lapses in judgment. Michael was acquitted of the molestation charges as there was no validity to them. His marriages and plastic surgery are none of Jones' business. I hope Jones was taught as a child that if you can't say something positive about a person, don't say anything at all. Vera D. Royster Philadelphia
LETTERS The conundrum that is Michael Jackson
June 17, 2005
IT IS TOO EASY to find fault with Michael Jackson's eccentric behavior because it is filled with so many contradictions. Michael was born African-American but now looks so pale no suntan can cure it. Michael married Elvis Presley's daughter even though Elvis once said that the "only thing a colored person can do for me is to buy my records and shine my shoes. " Michael says his childhood was abusive, and yet he has been accused of sexually abusing minors. It is not important how the media sensationalizes Michael's private life.
Michael Jackson's Dance With Justice
May 6, 2005
By ELMER SMITH
IT'S ONLY halftime in the Michael Jackson trial. But I have reached a verdict. Not innocent! But you knew that. You can't fill a phone booth with people who believe Jackson's contact with young boys is innocent. Anyone who would allow her young son to sleep in Jackson's bed or to spend an unsupervised evening with him is more pimp than parent. The term "neverland" should have taken on new meaning back when he made his first million-dollar payout to a pim, ahh, parent.
Michael Jackson reinvented as rapper?
September 27, 2005
HOWARD GENSLER firstname.lastname@example.com Daily News wire services contributed to this report
THE reinvention of Michael Jackson continues. It seems the King of Pop is looking to become the King of Rap. Yes, according to Rush & Molloy in the New York Daily News, MJ is looking to become edgier. More hip hop. Less hopscotch. "Soon you will see him surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women," says Jackson insider and "Alien Rock" author Michael Luckman. And Jackson's reportedly close to landing folks like Jay-Z, Missy Elliott and Mary J. Blige to perform on his hurricane relief song, "From the Bottom of My Heart.
Unflattering Look At Michael Jackson
May 4, 1991
By W. Speers, Inquirer Staff Writer Contributors to this report include the Associated Press, Reuters, the New York Post and the New York Times
An unauthorized Michael Jackson book, just out, portrays him as a lonely, reclusive figure whose life has been shaped by disdain for his father, Joseph, who slapped his children around and flaunted his affairs. Along the way, Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness, by J. Randy Taraborrelli, details the pop star's surgical rehab and his jealous evaluations of fellow superstars such as Bruce Springsteen ("Really overrated. He can't sing and he can't dance") and Mick Jagger ("How did he ever get to be a star?"
Michael Jackson Emerges In Vegas
January 1, 1994
By W. Speers, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER This story contains material from the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, TV Guide, the New York Post and the Washington Post
Michael Jackson broke his self-imposed, seven-week seclusion Thursday night when he turned up for a show at Steve Wynn's Treasure Island resort in Las Vegas. He watched with Wynn, ex-junk bond king Michael Milken and a squad of bodyguards. Jackson, in red-leather jacket and cap, was applauded by some in the audience. He's said to be staying at the Mirage, next door to Treasure Island. Meanwhile, the lawyer for the boy accusing the pop star of sex abuse said that Jackson was "stonewalling" in that the only written answers to hundreds of questions submitted in an inquiry involving the 13-year-old's civil action against him were his name and address.
Michael Jackson: The Bush Stealth Weapon
February 20, 2003
I'M WAKING up quite refreshed these days now that I know more about Michael Jackson than I know about why our nation's defense system completely failed on Sept. 11. Michael Jackson must be on the list of "Acceptable Diversionary Topics" handed out to the networks by the government. Maybe we should add "sequined" to our "Tom Ridge Danger Color Chart" to alert the nation when Mr. Jackson is up to no good. Mark F. Walker, Philadelphia With the newest bin Laden tape, it's NOW or NEVER.
Phila. reacts to Michael Jackson's death
June 26, 2009
By Alfred Lubrano, Matthew Spolar, Kia Gregory and Robert Moran, Inquirer Staff Writers
Tweeting and texting, phoning and yelling in the street, Philadelphia-area residents shared the news last night of the death of Michael Jackson, the oddity and icon who perplexed and entertained America for decades. Not so much a person as a once-in-a-lifetime event, Jackson was part car wreck and part comet, and the 50-year-old's passing on a warm summer night galvanized people in the city and environs. "I was devastated," said Neil Shore, 39, a disc jockey at the Camden Community College radio station, WDBK-FM (91.5)
Cirque show captures Michael Jackson's magic
April 6, 2012
By Jonathan Takiff, Daily News Staff Writer
CLEARLY, CIRQUE du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" is a major undertaking - a loud and lavish, multimedia celebration of the "King of Pop" boasting a budget in excess of $50 million, a cast and crew numbering 220. As an arena rock concert spectacle - how creators view it - the production dwarfs Madonna and Lady Gaga's wildest touring fantasies. Planned to circle the globe for more than three years, the thing's loaded to the gills with lavishly costumed dancers and daredevil acrobatic acts, a 12-piece band, high-tech video screens, fanciful props and in-your-face pyrotechnic explosions.
Sideshow: Michael Jackson case goes to jury
September 27, 2013
By Tirdad Derakhshani, Inquirer Staff Writer
Michael Jackson was an adult fully responsible for his own actions and died because of his own decisions, a lawyer for AEG Live said on Wednesday said in his closing argument in the Jackson family's negligence suit against the company. MJ's family blame the company for hiring Conrad Murray , the physician who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 for giving MJ an overdose of propofol, an anesthetic used in surgery. AEG denies it hired Murray, maintaining that it was MJ who insisted Murray treat him. Attorney Marvin Putnam said that if the company knew of MJ's drug abuse, it would never have partnered with him for his comeback tour.

The Interview: Woody Woodard, Wynnefield's barber-to-the-stars
May 29, 2016
ROBERT "WOODY" Woodard's barbershop is a Wynnefield fixture, with a clientele of the famous and the not-so-famous. He treats them all the same. Michael Jackson, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, singer Nina Simone, and former Sixers Moses Malone and Charles Barkley have all sat in Woody's chair. One photo in the shop shows Michael Jackson posed in Woodard's 1947 Cadillac. Another shows Woodard and Simone propped on the hood. Woodard is founder of Barbershop Talk Human Family Day, an annual spring celebration of racial unity.

Michael Jackson's Journey from Motown to "Off the Wall. " The title of Spike Lee's MJ doc doesn't trip off the tongue, but with the help of talking heads - including Quincy Jones, Questlove, Kobe Bryant, and, yes, David Byrne - and a trove of fabulous performance footage, it digs most satisfyingly into the former child star's pre-Thriller coming-of-age period.

Prosecutor cites Michael Jackson in Meek Mill motion
July 30, 2014
By Joseph A. Slobodzian, Inquirer Staff Writer
A Philadelphia prosecutor turned to no less an authority than Michael Jackson in opposing early parole for the rapper Meek Mill, saying he has yet to accept responsibility for himself and his actions. Much of Assistant District Attorney Noel Ann DeSantis' legal response - filed Friday in Common Pleas Court after the rapper's plea for release from a three- to six-month sentence for violating probation - is a 13-page recitation of his problematic years on court supervision. But DeSantis also suggested that perhaps music was the best way to convince Mill - real name Robert Williams - that he has to take a "hard-earned look at himself, his talent, and his character as a man. " DeSantis then quotes from the lyrics to Jackson's hit "Man in the Mirror," which includes the verse: "I'm starting with the man in the mirror; I'm asking him to change his ways.
Michael Jackson's hometown to honor his memory with a ... school
July 25, 2014
By Howard Gensler
HERE'S ONE of the many things Tattle has learned over the years writing about celebrities (and just observing life): When people don't like you, they magnify your flaws, and when they like you, they overlook your flaws. This leads us to the Gary, Ind., Community School Board's plan to name a school after . . . Michael Jackson . On Tuesday, the board approved a memorandum of understanding with MJ's mother, Katherine Jackson , that says the district hopes the move will "inspire children to excel in the arts and education.
Jeff Bradshaw and friends bring his music 'HOME' to the Kimmel
May 28, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
Philly trombonist Jeff Bradshaw will gather his best friends Wednesday night - including vocal group Take 6 and fellow specialist Trombone Shorty - for HOME , a live recording session, with 10-piece band and strings, on the stage of the Kimmel's Verizon Hall. Bradshaw, 44, is confident but also humble for a guy who has traveled the world with Jay Z and played on albums for Michael Jackson, Mary J. Blige, and Philly luminaries like Marsha Ambrosius and the Roots. Bradshaw was raised at the Cambridge Mall housing project at 12th and Girard Streets.
Marsha Ambrosius steams up TLA
March 23, 2014
By A.D. Amorosi, For The Inquirer
If 2011 had a signature soul sister, it was Marsha Ambrosius. The Philadelphia (by way of Liverpool) singer, songwriter, and one-time member of the rap-and-R&B outfit Floetry released her solo debut, Late Nights & Early Mornings, in March 2011. The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's R&B Charts, No. 2 on the Top 200 Album Chart, each live show was more silken and passionate than the last, and Ambrosius far outran the typecasting of neo-soul that Floetry brought. Like Phyllis Hyman without the tragic torchiness, Ambrosius' voice and lyrics spoke cattily of wronged romance and haughtily of sour times with jazzy aplomb and salty tenderness.
On the go with Flo Anthony
March 11, 2014
AT A TIME when anyone with a laptop and an Internet connection might call herself a "gossip columnist," Flo Anthony is the real deal. A nationally syndicated radio personality and newspaper columnist (published locally in the Philadelphia Sunday Sun ), he's also been featured on shows like "The Insider," "Entertainment Tonight" and "Inside Edition," and is a correspondent for TV One's "Life After. " I first noticed Anthony on TV in the early 1990s, dishing about Michael Jackson and the mysterious inner workings of the famous Jackson clan.
Sideshow: Jackson DNA claim is bogus, says TMZ
March 9, 2014
By Tirdad Derakhshani, Inquirer Staff Writer
Michael Jackson not the dad? Claims that Michael Jackson fathered a 31-year-old man named Brandon Howard are untrue, says TMZ. This week, Alki David , founder of FilmOn.com, said he had obtained DNA evidence that proved MJ's paternity. Turns out the lab that supposedly carried out the test is fake. The results are printed on paper that bears the same company logo as the fictional DNA testing lab in the sci-fi pic Terminator Salvation ! David on Friday told TMZ the test is real, and he said the lab added the logo design to make their printouts more photogenic.

THE ISLE OF CARNA - Enjoy a holiday in Scotland with a difference!
The Island of Carna - six hundred acres of beautiful,
unspoiled, natural habitat, lying off the Ardnamurchan peninsula, West
Scotland (British mainland's' most westerly point). Spectacular
highland scenery views.
Island in Scotland to rent - Your holiday cottage set amongst the beauty of Carna Island on Loch Sunart in the Scottish Highlands. Perfect for fishing, exploring etc. Carna's 600 acres is free from traffic (there are no roads) so if you want to bring your pets they can wander freely in perfect safety.
Our holiday home is on the Island of Carna in the middle of Loch Sunart
in the Western Scottish Highlands, between the peninsula of Ardnamurchan
to the north, and the remote hills of Morvern to the south. This
beautiful island of 600 acres has a heather covered rocky peak of 550ft,
with spectacular views stretching out over the neighbouring island of
Oronsay, towards Mull and as far as Coll.
The sun setting over Coll is a sight not to be missed!
Traditional highland cottage well equipped, sleeps 8
16' boat (capacity 8 people) plus can of fuel and good Dinghy. (instruction for novices)
Cosy and warm with open fires and fantastic views.
The meadows are filled with wild flowers, and there are many rocky inlets and beaches that are excellent for campfires or watching wildlife.
A colony of common seals breed on the rocks of a small adjacent island. Herons, oystercatchers, terns, cormorants, eagles and sometimes, even sea eagles are some of the more spectacular birds that can be seen around Carna. Ravens, herons and buzzards nest on the island. Porpoises are frequently seen in the loch and otters in the channels around the island.
At dawn and dusk foxes and red deer are common sights. The Morvern hills are home to the pine marten, red squirrel and wildcats.
Our family has owned Carna since the 1870's. The crofters cottage was
made into a family home in the 1920's. It has recently been refurbished
to make a warm, well-equipped, homely base for trips on or off the
island, or as a secluded retreat with a good supply of books and games
for afternoons and evenings around the open fire.
As there is no electricity, there is no TV, no computer and no phone,
so children have no excuse to stay indoors!
This also reinforces the peace, tranquillity and seclusion of Carna.
Step back in time for a holiday in Scotland with a difference. Carna is a wonderful experience for those with a mind to enjoy the more natural things around us and an atmosphere virtually unchanged for centuries.

Rambling Cosby show delivers small rewards
A personal preface seems necessary before the review gets on to expressing profound disappointment with Bill Cosby's appearance at the Riverside Theater on Saturday night.
When this critic was a child, he got his first exposure to stand-up comedy through his aunt's collection of the classic records Cosby released throughout the 1960s. Later encounters with varied works - from the animated show "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" to many seasons of "The Cosby Show" - only strengthened a belief that Cosby inhaled experience and exhaled humor. »Read Full Article(5)

Revenues up 45% in year's first quarter
China's film industry continues to soar, boosted by a sharp rise in ticket sales at theaters in China's booming cities.
B.O. revenues were up 45% in the first quarter of this year to more than 1 billion yuan ($140 million), the China Film Group said.
Some 32 million people went to the movies in the period, up 35%.
Chinese biz is looking so healthy that ticket sales are on track for a record $722 million this year, the group reported on its website. This compares with 2007's total B.O. of $470 million.
Domestic movies accounted for more than 61% of the revenue. The biggest hit of the quarter was Stephen Chow's sci-fi pic "CJ7," which took in $29 million.
The dramatic growth in China's B.O. shows why the majors are so keen to get a foothold in the country, despite rigorous censorship, regular blackouts of foreign movies and a limit of 20 revenue-share imported movies per year.
However, foreign pics continued to put in a strong performance.
The biggest foreign movie was Columbia TriStar's "The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep," which made $9 million at the box office, followed by "10,000 BC," which earned $8.8 million. "National Treasure: The Book of Secrets" took in $8.6 million.
Taiwan warbler Jay Chou's "Kung-Fu Dunk" had B.O. of $16 million, while "An Empress and the Warriors," with Hong Kong stars Kelly Chen and Leon Lai and kung fu star Donnie Yen, took in $6 million.

Forum > 5.0 Mustang technical forum
one thing after another
<< < (2/2)
haha yes maintenance is a very important part of owning any car. my car is now 17 years old. original block. got the tranny out of a 4cyl mustang. rear end came out of an explorer. has the 5 lug conversion on front and back, shorty headers, 3" exhaust, K&N air filter, underdrive pulleys, a/c delete, interior came out of a 01 mustang, but other than that its mostly stock. whats the stock fuel injectors 19lbs? i'd like to get ahold of a better intake manifold and some better injectors.
How's that four banger transmission holding up? And, why did you have to upgrade to 5 lugs on a '93 GT?
well the tranny is awesome. you almost don't need 1st, it spins tires really easy. i generally start off in 2nd. 3rd and 4th pull really hard and even 5th gear is a pulling gear. i love it. not sure about the 5 lug upgrade. bought it like that. but without it my rims would not fit. i'll try to get some pictures up of her. paint is in horrible condition but no rust. used to be red but i think she'll be primer colored for a while. i like the way primer looks.
Don't leave it in primer too long. Primer tends to soak up moisture.
thanks, thats good to know.

Chapter 21 : Already Gone
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
ōI canÆt believe you have detention again tonight.ö Mary commented as the Gryffindor girls got ready for their last day of classes before the weekend. ōIÆve never been in detention.ö
ōYouÆre lucky. ItÆs boring.ö Aubrey remarked, clipping sparkly earrings in.
ōYeah but at least Sirius will be in there with you.ö Mary said, grinning. ōSo it wonÆt be too bad. Sirius can make anything fun.ö
Aubrey shrugged, reaching for her favorite pair of flats. ōYeah, it could be worse I suppose.ö
ōAnd you got detention for skipping class? For when you walked out of Binns?ö Lily questioned.
Aubrey just nodded, adjusting her stockings. She hadnÆt told anyone the real reason she had left in the middle of class.
ōWhyÆd you leave again?ö Lily asked, sharing a look with Mary. ōwe thought maybe you were crying.ö She said tentatively.
ōOh, no.ö Aubrey answered quickly. ōI ah, didnÆt feel well.ö She lied. She didnÆt know why she didnÆt just admit that sheÆd been crying but she didnÆt want to see the sad look in LilyÆs eyes.
ōWell it was pretty romantic that Sirius ran after you like that.ö Mary said.
ōRomantic?ö Aubrey repeated dubiously. ōI donÆt think so, he was just checking on me.ö
ōwell that was nice of him to do that for you. He just laughed that time I threw up in Care of Magical Creatures.ö Mary recalled.
ōWasnÆt that in 3rd year?ö Aubrey looked to Lily, who just rolled her eyes. ōOf course he laughed, he was a 13 year old boy. He still acts like a 13 year old boy most of the time.ö
ōStill.ö Mary insisted. ōHe was very concerned about you, Aubrey.ö
Aubrey set her shoe down and fixed her friend with a stare. ōMary.ö
ōWhat?ö She asked innocently.
ōI know what youÆre getting at and itÆs not like that between Sirius and I. Honestly, weÆre just friends.ö Aubrey insisted.
ōUh huh.ö Mary agreed, smiling in a know-it-all manner.
ōMary!ö Aubrey said exasperated.
ōWhat? The whole school thinks the two of you are an item, you should know. ItÆs not just me.ö Mary told her.
ōWell then the whole school is stupid.ö Aubrey retorted.
ōBut if everyone thinks-ō
ōRemember last year when everyone thought that you hooked up with Marcus Avery?ö Aubrey reminded.
ōBut I didnÆt!ö Mary shrieked indignantly.
ōI know you didnÆt.ö Aubrey said consolingly. ōIÆm just trying to say that just because the whole school thinks something doesnÆt necessarily make it true.ö
Mary thought about this for a second. ōSo you and Sirius arenÆt really together?ö She asked, still a bit hopeful.
ōNo.ö Aubrey said firmly.
ōWell then,ö Mary said, fluffing her hair and looking in the mirror. ōI think itÆs about time for you to get back out there.ö
Lily looked up in alarm, shaking her head behind AubreyÆs back, but Mary wasnÆt looking.
ōWhat?ö Aubrey asked in surprise.
ōItÆs been over a month since you and Sebastian broke up and except for your friend Sirius, you havenÆt even talked to any boys. What about Remus? He seems kind of your type, and heÆs a super sweetheart. Or that Eric guy you sat next to the other day! He was into you and heÆs definitely your type, Ravenclaw, smart, cute.ö
ōReally?ö Aubrey asked dubiously.
ōDefinitely.ö Mary encouraged. ōYou should talk to him, flirt a little.ö She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. Across the room, Lily dropped her head into her hands.
ōI donÆt know Mare,ö Aubrey said uncertainly. ōI donÆt know if IÆm really ready to date again yetģö
ōYou are.ö Mary insisted. ōAnd even if youÆre not, a nice fling will at least make you feel better.ö
Aubrey made a face. ōIÆll think about it.ö She conceded.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
ōWell, you survived another night of detention.ö Sirius commented as they left BrandyÆs classroom.
ōSo I did.ö Aubrey remarked, flexing her hand. ōIÆm not sure my fingers did though. Honestly, canÆt she come up with something other than lines?ö
ōDonÆt say that. Once, McGonagall had us scrub the floor of the Great Hall, no magic allowed.ö Sirius told her, shuddering.
ōYes, but you probably deserved that.ö Aubrey teased.
Sirius knocked her shoulder lightly with his. ōHilarious.ö He glanced over at her as they descended the stairs. ōYou doing okay?ö
She rolled her eyes. ōWill you quit asking me that? IÆm fine. I cried, okay? That doesnÆt mean IÆm about to burst into tears at any moment. So quit looking at me like that, keep your handkerchief in your pocket.ö
ōSeriously Daniels, there are times that I would like to throttle you.ö Sirius said mildly. ōAnd most girls would think it was romantic that I carry a handkerchief.ö
ōWell, IÆm not most girls.ö She remarked, grinning. ōI just think itÆs hilarious.ö
ōClearly.ö He muttered. ōAnyway, are you up for some fun?ö
ōWhat kind of fun?ö She asked suspiciously.
ōThe boys and I have been planning a bonfire in the Forbidden Forest all week, a bit of pre-Halloween fun. Want to head out there?ö He asked, pausing at the bottom of the staircase.
ōThe Forbidden Forest?ö She repeated dubiously. Unlike some of her rule breaking classmates, she had never ventured past the tree line.
ōYes, you know, that great big bit of woods that surrounds most of the castle.ö
ōI know what it is, you snarky little git. ItÆs justģitÆs forbidden.ö
ōHence the name.ö Sirius pointed out. She glared at him. ōDonÆt worry Daniels, I wonÆt let anything happen to you. Besides, you canÆt go your whole Hogwarts career without a trip to the Forbidden Forest. ItÆll be fun.ö He smiled winningly at her.
ōHm, youÆd think theyÆd call it the Fun Forest then.ö Aubrey mused.
Sirius rolled his eyes. ōVery witty. Are you coming or not?ö
She sighed. ōOf course IÆm coming. ItÆs not like I have anything else to do anyways.ö
ōSo glad you could make time for us in your busy schedule.ö Sirius drawled, heading down the staircase towards a side door out of the castle.
They bickered good naturedly as they left the castle and snuck down the side lawn. It was dark already and the moon was half full, laying on itÆs side above the spires of the castle.
Sirius didnÆt even pause as he stepped from the lawn into the treeline of the Forest. Aubrey, however, halted, eyeing the tall dark trees in front of her. He must have realized that she was no longer next to him because he stopped and turned around. ōDaniels?ö He called.
She surveyed him standing inside of the shadow of the Forest. Her eyes darted around nervously. ōAre you certain itÆs safe? I mean, it is Forbidden for a reason. Dumbledore wouldnÆt make it a rule unless there was a reason.ö
ōHeÆs also the same person who planted your precious Welting Willow.ö Sirius reminded.
ōWhomping Willow.ö She corrected, rolling her eyes.
ōWhatever. Now come on! Are you a Gryffindor or not?ö
ōItÆs not that IÆm scared necessarily, but this officially marks my turn of a rule abiding student to a rule breaker.ö She pointed out.
ōYes, and the dark side is so much more fun.ö Sirius cajoled, grinning wickedly. ōBesides, youÆve been landing yourself in detention all year already for breaking the rules. WhatÆs one more?ö
Aubrey threw her hands in the air and stomped in after him. ōLumos.ö She muttered, igniting the tip of her wand to cast some light in the dark. ōIf we get caught in here and I end up with another detention, I will kill you.ö She told him.
ōNoted.ö Sirius said, smiling as they set off deeper into the Forest. ōHow about this, if we get caught, which I can assure you that we wonÆt, I will stand atop our table in the Great Hall and announce that the Princess knows all that I am but her humble servant.ö
ōAnd a giant prat.ö Aubrey added, smiling happily. ōItÆs a deal. Do you know where weÆre going, by the way?ö She asked, looking around. Everything looked the same to her, each tree seemed to blend into the next.
ōLetÆs just say that I have spent my fair time in the Fun Forest.ö His eyes twinkled in the light of their wands. ōI know my way around.ö
ōIÆm not sure if that makes me feel better or not.ö She admitted. ōBut I suppose I will have to trust you.ö She looked over her shoulder, she wasnÆt even sure she could find her way back from the way they had come. There was no clear path back through the trees.
ōItÆs good of you to admit that. Your life will be so much easier when you do.ö He agreed sagely.
Aubrey rolled her eyes at his back, following him under a low hanging branch, casting her eyes around to try and discern if anything was hiding in the dark. She wished that she felt as calm as Sirius looked. WasnÆt she a Gryffindor? WasnÆt she supposed to be brave in these types of situations?
ōAnd here we are!ö Sirius announced, stepping into a small clearing.
Aubrey looked around with interest. The trees created a natural rounded clearing and the boys had built up a tower of wood that was burning with magical blue flames that gave off heat but wasnÆt actually burning the wood. Which was probably smart considering they were in the middle of a highly flammable forest. There were logs, or enlarged sticks she suspected, staged around the fire for seating. It looked wonderful.
Sirius stepped forward to talk to Remus, slapping him on the back in greeting, but she hung back at the edge of the clearing. She looked at the people that were here already. Lily was sitting on James lap, his dark head was bent to hear whatever it was she was telling him, his hands resting comfortably at her waist. Mary was giggling at something 6th year Quidditch Beater Liam Norton was saying and Betsy was flat out snogging Tom Callahan at the other end of the clearing. Even Peter had brought a date, he was holding hands with Angela Whipple, and nodding at whatever she was chattering about.
All of a sudden, looking at all those couples around her, Aubrey felt very alone. A year ago, that would have been her, sneaking a kiss with Sebastian. But now she was here alone, single. What was she doing here? This was obviously a couples outing and she didnÆt belong.
Sirius turned from where he was talking to Remus and waved her over. She shook her head back at him, she couldnÆt stay here. She saw him frown but she didnÆt wait to see if he would try and stop her. He probably had a member of his fan club waiting somewhere that he was going to start snogging at any minute.
The thought was enough to turn her stomach and her feet. She turned, pushing her way back into the forest, crashing through the undergrowth. She took great gasps of the cool night air, her eyes felt hot, and she bit down on her bottom lip to keep it from trembling. She absolutely hated crying, and once this week had been enough.
Now that the initial shock and anger of Sebastian breaking up with her had started to pass, she was starting to just feel sad. And seeing couples all around her just made her feel all the more alone.
ōAubrey!ö She heard distantly behind her, but she kept going, pushing low hanging branches out of her way. Sirius could go back to the party and she could go back to her room.
ōAubrey!ö She heard Sirius, closer now, sounding exasperated. ōWill you stop for a minute?ö
She ignored him, breaking into a run. She hurried up a small incline that she couldnÆt remember if they had come down on their way in. She caught her foot against a root and went tumbling to the ground, skidding her hands against the ground.
She lay there for a second, the wind knocked out of her, until Sirius crouched next to her. ōMerlinÆs beard, Aubrey, are you okay?ö He asked, pulling her gently into a sitting position.
ōIÆm fine.ö She muttered, brushing at the dirt stuck to the knees of her jeans. She could feel him watching her.
ōWhere are you going in such a hurry?ö He asked as she caught her breath.
ōBack to the castle.ö She told him, not meeting his eyes and reaching for her wand, half buried in the leaves next to her.
ōWell then youÆre going the wrong way.ö He told her quietly. She looked away, rubbing her stinging palms together. He sighed. ōWhy are you going?ö
ōItÆs couples central in there!ö She exclaimed. ōAnd in case you failed to notice, IÆm alone. So you can let go of my arm, point me in the direction of the damn castle, and back to whatever giggling girl you have waiting there.ö
ōIÆm not following.ö Sirius said.
ōLet go of my arm.ö Aubrey snapped.
He did, leaning back to observe her, still kneeling in the dirt next to her. ōCare to explain why youÆre having a hissy fit right now?ö
She picked a piece of rock out of her palm. ōI donÆt want to hang around a bunch of couples all night and be reminded that IÆve been dumped.ö
ōYou hang around James and Lily all the time so I donÆt know-ō
ōYes but tonight thereÆs Lily and James, and Mary and whatÆs his name, Betsy and whoÆs ever face sheÆs sucking, and Peter and Angela stupid Whipple! All of those couples just make me feel very alone.ö She sniffed.
ōAubrey,ö Sirius sighed.
ōIÆm not crying!ö She snapped.
ōDidnÆt say that you were.ö He muttered, holding his hands up in defense. ōBut I just want to point out that you wonÆ t the only single one there. Remus and I will be there as well.ö
ōDonÆt tell me youÆre matchmaking as well.ö She grumbled.
ōTrying to set me up with Remus. Lily and Mary were talking about matchmaking me with him.ö Aubrey clarified darkly. ōI donÆt want to be set up.ö
ōRemus.ö Sirius repeated in a flat voice. ōRemus Lupin, my best mate.ö
ōHow many RemusÆ do you know?ö Aubrey asked back. ōAnd like I said, IÆm not interested in being set up. So if you could just point me in the direction back to the school, IÆd like to leave.ö
ōThe schoolÆs that way.ö Sirius told her, pointing east of the way she had been previously going. ōAnd if you want to go back, IÆll walk you back up to the castle. Because you were right, itÆs not safe to be in here by yourself. But I think you should come back to the party.ö
She pushed herself to her feet and took a few steps towards where he had indicated the castle was. ōAubrey,ö He stood up behind her. ōWe can go back, and you can go to bed feeling hurt and angry, thatÆs one option. Or you can come back with me to the party and try and have a good time. I promise you that no one is trying to match make you. But youÆve got to start letting go of some of this anger or youÆre never going to be happy. And thatÆs not fair to you. ItÆs not fair to give Sebastian that much power over your happiness.ö
She stared at him for a minute before sighing and coming back towards him. ōI hate it when youÆre right.ö She muttered, stopping in front of him and looking up at him.
He smiled. ōReally? Because I love when you admit that IÆm right.ö He held out a hand for her to take. ōReady to go back?ö
She rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. They started back towards the bonfire in silence. Aubrey glanced up at his face, she couldnÆt help but notice how handsome he was, his mouth was full and still slightly smiling. ōI drive you mental, donÆt I?ö She guessed.
ōEvery day.ö He grinned.
She gripped his hand tighter. ōI did warn you that being my friend wasnÆt going to be easy.ö She reminded, feeling slightly bad that Sirius had to work through all of her issues with her.
He squeezed her hand back. ōNo one ever said you were a liar.ö
She sighed, wrapping her other hand around their clasped ones. She didnÆt know why exactly, but she liked holding hands with Sirius. She shouldnÆt, because it was sort of crossing that friend line, but she couldnÆt help herself. ōWell I am sorry for being such a basket case, and I appreciate that youÆve been there for me.ö
He smiled, looking down at their clasped hands. ōThatÆs what IÆm here for.ö
Up ahead, Remus was coming down the path towards them. ōThere you guys are. I was starting to worry.ö He told them as they got closer. ōWhereÆd you run off to?ö
Aubrey released SiriusÆ hand as they reached him, something that made him frown. ōOh, IÆm sorry. I lost an earring on the way in and had to go back and get it.ö She lied.
ōOh.ö Remus looked at Sirius, who just shrugged. ōWell, IÆm glad that you were able to find it.ö He looked between them, suddenly frowning. ōAubrey, youÆre bleeding.ö
ōOh!ö She looked down in surprise, noting that the knee of her jean had torn open, she must have skinned her knee in her tumble. ōI fell, actually, as we were looking for my earring. Pretty embarrassing.ö
ōHere, I know I quick healing spell.ö Remus offered, going to crouch down.
ōIÆll get it, Moony.ö Sirius said quickly, kneeling down and touching his wand to her broken skin. ōHere, IÆll even fix your jeans.ö
Aubrey felt quick heat on her skin and then it felt better. She watched with fascination as her jeans mended themselves. ōThanks Sirius.ö She said gratefully.
ōItÆs no problem.ö Sirius smiled up at her before getting to his feet. ōI should have noticed before, IÆm sorry, Aubrey.ö
Remus was looking at him a bit queerly.
Aubrey just shrugged. ōI didnÆt even notice.ö She admitted. ōBut thank you for patching me up.ö
ōWell,ö Remus said after a bit of an awkward silence. ōTell me you guys are coming back to the party. Everyone is coupling up and IÆm feeling like the odd man out.ö
Sirius looked pointedly at Aubrey who ignored him. ōThat depends, is Angela Whipple still giggling at everything that Peter is saying?ö She asked.
ōWell yes, but she always does that.ö Remus replied, grinning. Aubrey turned to look pointedly at Sirius now, who was just shaking his head. ōDo you want me to leave you guys alone? You look like youÆre having some sort of silent conversation.ö
ōNo.ö Aubrey said, smiling. ōBut if we were, just know that I won.ö Sirius rolled his eyes. ōWeÆre ready to go back now. I want to sit next to the fire, IÆm getting cold.ö
They walked back to the clearing where things were pretty much as she had left them. ōThere you are.ö Lily said as they rejoined the group. ōWhereÆve the three of you been?ö She asked curiously.
ōLost earring.ö Sirius answered, straddling one of the tree trunks and patting the spot next to him for Aubrey. ōDonÆt
worry though, all is well.ö
ōFunny,ö James remarked grinning. ōI donÆt remember you wearing an earring earlier, Sirius.ö
Aubrey laughed. ōYou might want to consider getting one, Sirius, it might improve your look.ö She teased.
ōPlease, letÆs not jest.ö Sirius scoffed. ōAs if my looks needed any improving.ö
It turned out to be one of the best nights Aubrey had had in a long time. Betsy and her date never did come up for air, and Mary and hers snuck off into the trees, but the boys kept them laughing all night and for the first time in a long time, she felt like part of the group. This is what she had been missing out on when she had been glued to SebastianÆs side. SheÆd missed having friends.
As they snuck back into the school in the late hours of the night, perhaps even the early hours of the morning, Aubrey stopped suddenly to give Sirius a quick hug around the middle. ōThank you.ö She told him,smiling. ōFor making me come back.ö
He blinked down at her in surprise. öWelcome.ö He said, in an oddly hoarse voice.

Take a lesson from a Frogman
Re: "Honoring the lives lost in Benghazi — '13 Hours' looks at the events, not politics," Tuesday Arts & Life story.
In Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, six members of Annex Security Team, former Navy SEAL, Army and Marine security personnel, defended the U.S. State Department Special Mission Compound. The movie about the security team, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, claims it steers clear of the heated Benghazi political discussion. Then, it explains, if the security team had not taken the initiative when ordered to stand down, there would have been more casualties. Some opponents of Hillary Clinton immediately claimed the movie proves Gen. David Petraeus, then head of CIA, and Leon Panetta, then secretary of defense, are lying when they say there was no stand-down order.
Times change. Few Americans know about Navy Frogmen of World War II, who were forerunners of today's Navy SEALs. Navy Frogmen and Navy LCI(G) light gun ships attacked the Iwo Jima beach three days before the Marines went ashore. Casualties were heavy. At age 90, one of the Frogmen at Iwo Jima and other battles, Don Lumsden, recalled his experiences in World War II. When he had a chance to talk about his expertise as a Frogman, he said nothing. Some things then were best unsaid.

That's why we had to share Ashli's entryway turned mud room. As the only entrance to her home, it needed to do more than just act pretty. For starters, Ashli and hubby tore off the bi-fold doors (which took up too much room in the 4x5 space). Going vertical (yay!), they picked up a super affordable shelving unit from Home Depot. The next step-- make it attractive with wicker baskets, uniform wood hangers and painted green stripes (love). The family also added a personal touch to the entryway mirror, thanks to some vinyl decals from Etsy. A pebble boot tray and some awesome hooks from IKEA round out the teeny-yet-welcoming spot. And not to worry, Ashli breaks down each purchase on her blog so you can replicate the must haves. Images: Maillardville Manor Share Pin Email

Education and second job entrepreneurs
October 07, 1999
Second job entrepreneurs have more education than the average worker.
[Chart data—TXT]
People who are second job entrepreneurs have primary positions in wage-and-salary jobs and hold second jobs in which they are self-employed in unincorporated businesses. About 70 percent of second job entrepreneurs in 1998 had at least some college. In comparison, 55 percent of all workers had post-high-school education.
Only 4 percent of second job entrepreneurs in 1998 did not have a high school diploma. Of all workers, 13 percent had not received a high school diploma.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. Find out more in "Second Job Entrepreneurs," (PDF 151K) Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Fall 1999. OOQ Online is the newest BLS online periodical.

Event: Inquiring Minds
Topic: Coming out as a humanist.
Host: Kevin Moriarty
How do you make the transition from being a secret humanist, to being an open humanist; without suffering significant negative backlash?
Have you ever been asked to join a religious celebration? What do you say?
When someone sneezes what do you say?
How can you be honest about being a humanist without offending others or ostracizing yourself?
If you know some things that work, come share them.
If you have some related stories, come share them.
If you have some ideas that may help, come share them.
There has to be a way to live with integrity while maintaining social harmony, help discover that path.
Please go to our website to learn all about HSGP: http;//HSGP.org.
Discussion created comfort and relief to our "out of the closet experience" with family, friends and colleagues--even to those whose "out-ted" years are behind them. Much was gained with the insight and shared stories instilling a deeper appreciation for our "Humanist" life.
We are not alone in our humanity.
We are one.

Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Five years ago Sevestre, from clinical observation alone, became convinced that broncho-pneumonia in infancy was occasionally of intestinal origin, and concluded one of his papers in the following language:
In children one or two years of age (and probably also of other ages), subjected to a vicious alimentation, there may occur a decomposition of the intestinal contents, resulting in a fetid diarrhoea and an infectious enteritis.
General infection may follow, and particularly pulmonary congestion and broncho-pneumonia.
Intestinal disinfectants. especially calomel and naphthaline, are the best means of relieving the diarrhœa,and of preventing pulmonary manifestations.
The work of his pupil, Lesage, we reviewed a few weeks ago. More recently, two others of his pupils, Gaston and Renard1 have contributed the results of their work in the same field.
The chief characteristic of the trouble is the occurrence of the pulmonary disorder as a complication in the course of an existing

We brought back our customer-favorite tassel necklace for lots of fall outfit potential (this year and ten years from now).
Size & Fit Details
Tassel chain necklace
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Allison LOVE!! I bought this in a store, since it's backordered until October. The necklace has a very good weight and looks very similar to some other much more expensive necklaces I've seen. This will be great for Fall with sweaters and looks good with many of my blouses for work. Very elegant! August 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JRSS Must-have necklace This is a quality necklace for the price that can easily rival more expensive versions. It's surprisingly substantial, but not overwhelming on my small frame. Extremely versatile--looks equally fantastic with a v-neck tee and jeans and dressier clothing. This will be on regular rotation in my wardrobe this fall/winter. September 5, 2016

You know what doesn't make the stressful holiday season any better? People yelling. Even worse is when they are yelling in your direction. The good news is that year after year, the screams typically originate from the same sources, so there's no need to be caught off guard as long as you think ahead. Marketers spend the majority of the year prepping their best and brightest campaigns for the holiday season, so it only makes sense to anticipate not only what could go wrong, but also the triggers that can cause a cross-team Scrooge-fest. Let's put some holiday cheer around what I'm calling "Scrooge's Greatest Hits" that you should anticipate hearing in the upcoming months and how you can best prepare and respond.
"Just Send More, Dammit!"
Like "It's a Wonderful Life," "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" and all of those versions of "A Christmas Carol" featuring none other than Ebenezer Scrooge, "Just send more, dammit!" is a classic you know will show up at some point during the holiday season. Those who haven't shown much interest in email throughout the year suddenly become overly concerned email marketing gurus with the deeply ingrained belief that sending more means selling more with no risks or larger impact. While it's difficult to tell a toddler that eating all the candy in the store will give him a stomachache and make his teeth rot, you need to be the grownup in this situation. Accept the fact that the kid will eventually wear you down and eat the candy just like you will be worn down and end up mailing more.
But what can you do to make the best of this situation? Go into the season with a clear understanding of the engagement spectrum of your subscriber list, both in the long and short terms. One can be an analog for the other, which can help you make better informed decisions when last-minute changes come up, leading to more control and less chaos. Know why your consistent openers keep opening and what makes a non-opener suddenly wake up and check out your emails. If you are forced, or should I say "highly encouraged," to mail more, then remailing to specific segments of your subscriber list can help your bottom line and avoid some of the risks such as abuse complaints and potential deliverability issues that come with an inflated email cadence.
"We Are Not Standing Out in the Inbox!"
You probably keep track of your competition's email programs throughout the year. You know when they knock it out of the park and probably enjoy a little chuckle when they fall flat. Be prepared to hear quite a bit about how your competitors are doing things better than you are during the holidays. This is usually under the guise of "helpful feedback" or just sheer panic. While you could focus on the overlap between your program and the competition – perhaps you have similar products, price points, or visual vibe – use the early season to build a foundation of familiarity about why your brand is unique. The level of noise from overstuffed inboxes, last-minute sales, and quickly approaching shipping deadlines will only amplify as the season progresses. A pre-season plan of dedicating emails to reinforce brand awareness, loyalty programs, shopping tools (like wish lists and in-store pickup), and ongoing offers like free shipping and free returns will position your brand to stand out more in the inbox once the blizzard hits. These distinguishing features can be resurrected later in the season to complement specific promotions and reinforce the value of shopping with your brand during the season.
"Why Did We Get Blocked?"
Delivery issues are like lumps of coal in your stocking. You work so hard throughout the year to be a good email marketer, yet many of us will end up on the naughty list during the holidays. There's no way to accurately predict what will trigger specific delivery issues during the holidays but there's a heck of a lot you can do before the fever pitch of the holidays to decrease these risks. Taking proactive measures like list cleaning and moving to a dedicated IP range can help decrease the duration and impact of a block when dealing with various Internet service providers. Additionally, use caution when targeting inactive segments in the thick of the holidays. These emails can tip abuse complaint ratios out of your favor and impact your mailings to more engaged groups.
A bit of Scrooge-deflection prep can go a long way when the holiday stress factor overtakes you like a nor'easter. Hopefully these tips will help you keep the peace and keep your extended team informed and cheery throughout the holidays. If all else fails, I recommend printing out a photo of Grumpy Cat, gluing it to a stick, and flashing it at any of the bah-humbugs who stop by your desk. This approach could be the most effective way to defuse the situation and keep the Scrooges at bay.

Wal-Mart Stops Store Sales of Linux PCs
Although Wal-Mart sold out of the "Green gPC" by Everex, the supermarket chain will not be putting any more Linux PCs on its shelves.
Melissa O'Brien, a company spokesperson, announced the stop, stating that lack of customer interest in machines with the Linux operating system had prompted the decision. This said, Wal-Mart has not disclosed sales figures. The Everex Linux PC cut around 200 US$.
But this does not mean that the PC will be completely disappearing: Walmart.com will still be selling a new variant online. Paul Kim, a marketing manager with the Taiwanese Everex company, which manufactures the "gPC" emphasised that this approach would be far more effective. The shop also stocks the gPC2, an updated version of the machine. At other person Walmart.com sells the Everex CloudBook, a laptop with Linux at around 400 US$.

It's almost July 1, which is known as Free-Agent Frenzy Day among fans of the NHL.
There will be plenty of players leaving their respective clubs to sign on elsewhere this offseason. In some cases, it will be the player who seeks a change of scenery or more money with another team. In other cases, it's the team that decides to cut ties with the player.
Most of the players on this list are pending free agents. However, there are a few players I've listed that may be dangled as trade bait to the other 29 general managers.
I've compiled this list, in no particular order, based on who I think are the most likely players to switch teams and the best players who I think will move from one NHL team to another.
Feel free to let me know if there are any notable players you think will be on the move this summer who I've left off the list.

Can Philadelphia force banks, lawyers, and advisers who helped the city borrow billions in the last decade to pay back millions in fees for financial hedges that went bad?
City Councilman James F. Kenney, a Democrat, has posted a resolution "to hold public hearings investigating the use of qualified-interest-rate-management agreements by the City and School District" and to explore whether it's time to sue banks, lawyers, and financial advisers for recommending investments that made them richer and taxpayers poorer.
In his proposal, Kenney cites the multimillion-dollar payouts the city and the School District of Philadelphia have had to make as a result of interest-rate-swap contracts in connection with city bond sales from 2003 to 2008. Swaps sellers said the contracts would protect the city from rising interest rates. But when U.S. interest rates fell, deal terms obliged the city to pay banks and their investors.
