Father's Word
A HariPo oneshot

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not me. Ah, it's lovely adding to the collection of TeddyLily fics… Read, review, and enjoy!
- ^-^3
"Uncle Harry… I love Lily."
Harry James Potter had actually been expecting to hear this. Of course, he'd once thought he might hear it from Lorcan or Lysander; both of Luna's sons thought of him as an uncle, and both were only a year older than his daughter. Also, Lily Luna got on well with them. However, Lorcan was enamored with George's daughter, Roxanne, and Lysander had started dating Bill's younger daughter, Dominique, a few years back. Seeing as Scorpius Malfoy didn't know Harry very well and also was with Rose, yet another of Harry's nieces, and Harry didn't know anyone else who'd call him "uncle" that he wasn't related to… Harry ended his jumbled thought there. Only one person would be telling him this.
"Uncle Harry?"
Harry lifted his head and tore his eyes away from a Quibbler he wasn't really reading. His green eyes met—well, Teddy's eyes weren't staying one color. That always happened when Teddy was really excited, really nervous, or both—which he probably was right now.
"Uncle Harry?" Teddy repeated.
The Metamorphmagus stared at him, confused. "What do you mean?"
"You said you love my daughter. I say no."
Teddy almost gaped at him, judging by the hippogriff-in-the-wand-light look on his face. Obviously he had been expecting a different reaction. Harry already loved Teddy like a son, but he didn't quite wish he was saying something positive. "How can you say that?"
Harry shrugged, not in the least nonplussed. "Easy. It's only one, two-letter syllable."
Teddy dropped his eyes to the floor in shock. "But…why?"
The elder wizard sighed and stood up. "Teddy, take a walk with me, will you?"
Teddy lifted his head up and, though he looked hurt, he followed Harry anyway. The two of them exited the Potter residence at Godric's Hollow and went up the street. Harry held an arm out to Teddy and they Disapparated, Apparating to a familiar house that was much too big for one person. "Grandma Meda's house?" the turquoise-haired male asked.
Harry nodded. He walked up the short walk and knocked. Andromeda answered, greeting Harry with a soft smile. "Hullo, Andromeda. Mind if I borrow a book or two?"
"Of course," she said, and her face lit up more when she saw her grandson. "Oh, Teddy!"
Harry left them to exchange words, since he knew Teddy had been more involved with the Auror Office since moving out and into his own apartment a few years back. The Potter marched down the hallway and took a slightly right into a study-like room. Books lined shelves and were piled in haphazard stacks that littered the floor. The sight of them amused him; Harry could imagine a young Tonks not being allowed in here for fear of her crashing into the tomes which would most certainly topple and bury her. But Harry concentrated on the task at hand. He knew which shelf he needed, and which suede-bound album was the one. With it in hand, he rejoined them at the door.
Andromeda gave Harry a look. "What, you can't stay for tea?"
He suppressed a chuckle; Andromeda was too kind for her glare to be intimidating like her sister, Bellatrix's. "Maybe another time, Andromeda."
She let them go after hugs, and they returned to the Potter house. They went into the living room and after shucking their cloaks, and Harry grabbed another book with similar binding before he sat on the couch with his godson. He cracked open the one from Andromeda first. "What's with the pictures?" Teddy asked.
"Here's the very first one," Harry said, his voice wistful. Though he had not been there right after Teddy's birth, it was… He couldn't explain it, but Harry's heart jumped as he watched the picture, a moment literally snatched from the past. In it, someone was passing a little bundle to Tonks and Andromeda was pushing Remus into the frame. Tonks was laughing, and it was hard not to, considering how vulnerable Remus looked in the presence of a baby…his own son. "This is the very first picture of you. Your father took another picture after he'd composed himself, and he shared it with me when Ron, Hermione, and I were on the run." Harry opened the other photo album, and there was said picture.
Teddy stared at the one with his parents. It was not as though he was a stranger to these images; he'd seen them plenty of times. But that had been when he was younger. As he'd grown, Teddy hadn't looked at as many pictures and he hadn't asked friends and family for as many stories. It wasn't as though he'd shut that part of him away—he'd merely buried it a bit.
"And here," Harry continued as he pointed to another image from Andromeda's collection, "is when you came home for the first time. Your mother hated putting you down in your crib; she wanted you in her arms all the time."
Teddy pursed his lips as they continued through the albums. Both Andromeda's album and the Potters' had so much for nearly every aspect of Teddy's childhood: his first steps, his first birthday, his terrible-twos, the triumphant look on his face after he'd mastered the loo (Andromeda had foisted that one onto Harry's shoulders), his first broomstick and flight (which had happened at home, not at school), his Hogwarts letter, buying his school supplies and robes—there was even a photo and scrap of the letter he'd sent to both Andromeda and to Harry announcing that he loved Hogwarts and Gryffindor House. Andromeda had cried when she heard that Teddy wasn't in Hufflepuff like his mother and grandfather…but she cried harder when Teddy's letter said that the Sorting Hat had debated for almost a full five minutes between making him a lion or a badger.
There were other pictures, too. Teddy at home on break, little James and Al in the background. Teddy holding baby Lily Luna for the very first time. Teddy helping Lily with her first steps. Teddy making his hair red and doing a very good impression of Ron while Rose, Hermione, and Ginny try not to laugh. Teddy trying to wrangle all the Potter and Weasley kids into one picture, though by that time Teddy wasn't a kid anymore, and he stuck out like a sore thumb. Teddy's O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s were in Andromeda's book, and countless pictures of his graduation and then, just a little while later, his first day of Auror training were in the Potters' album.
There were random moments, too. A younger Teddy with James after Ginny had found they'd gotten into the Christmas candy. Victoire and Dominique snickering after doing up Teddy's hair one time when he'd fallen asleep on the couch during a lazy summer day; Teddy looked oddly adorable with pink bows in his hair. There were three pictures of Teddy and Ginny: one of Ginny holding toddler Teddy, one of preteen Teddy standing beside Ginny with his arms around her waist as though she was his mother, and another showing a tall, strong Teddy holding Ginny in his arms and kissing her cheek, eliciting a great laugh from her. Sure, there was no audio to accompany these three, but Harry knew them well, since he was the one who'd taken them. Just as Harry had been "Uncle Harry" to Teddy, Ginny had been "Aunt Ginny" to him, and even before Harry and Ginny had married, they had served as parental substitutes for the Metamorphmagus, because Andromeda wasn't young enough to keep up with her grandson all the time.
Harry's hand rested on the last picture he and Ginny had taken of the two of them with Teddy before James had been born. Teddy had been six—almost seven—then, and he looked as though he had the whole world in the palm of his hands. Harry had done good by him so far. But today? The wizard frowned.
"Again, what's with the pictures?" Teddy inquired a second time. "I mean, I know you and the others like taking trips down Memory Lane, but…"
"Teddy," Harry interrupted. He looked at his godson and placed the open photo albums on his lap. "I've known you nearly your whole life. I helped raise you. I fed you, changed you, clothed you, bathed you, gave you everything a kid could want. You're like a son to me."
The turquoise-haired lad gave him a look. "So what? Because I'm like a son to you and Lily is your biological daughter, me loving her is tantamount to incest?"
Harry sighed. "No. That's not it at all."
"Then what is it? I'm not some pervert. I admit, I starting liking Lily when she was fifteen, but I said nothing to her until she told me she liked me back, last year before her seventeenth birthday. I know…" Teddy gritted his teeth. "I know there's a ten-year age gap, but it's smaller than the gap between my parents. And I've known Lily her whole life."
Harry shook his head. "It's not the age gap."
"See? So—"
"But you were heading in the right direction."
Teddy shut up. "Wait…what? I said…" He thought back on his words. "Wait, 'I've known Lily her whole life'—that's what bothers you?"
"'Bothers' isn't the word. And you're almost there." Harry took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Teddy, Lily is a lot of what you've known in your life. And you're…you're all she's ever known in hers. How can either of you two breathe or know how you feel or what's good for either of you when you've blinded yourselves to the rest of the world?"
"But… I've dated other girls… I was with Vic for a little bit. I even went out with Molly for a while, and I've had a few girlfriends at the Ministry."
"Because you fancied them? Or were you waiting for Lily?"
Teddy paused and opened and shut his mouth several times. By the looks of it, he hadn't considered this before. He dropped his eyes to the floor as he dwelled on his godfather's words. "I…I did like them…"
Harry leaned into the couch. "Teddy, if you truly love Lily, give it some time. Wait for her to grow up some more—and do some more growing up yourself."
They sat for a while, quietly. It was a good thing Ginny was out, coaching the new Harpies, otherwise she might've entered the room and taken the seriousness out of this conversation. The same could be said for Al and James, though they were both probably working or Al was spending time with his best mate, Scorpius, and James was at home with his spouse and daughter.
The Boy-Who-Lived reached for The Quibbler, the same one he'd discarded earlier, and resumed reading until Teddy reacted.
"I know…," Teddy began, "that you're not yelling at me or being mean." He lifted his eyebrow and looked at Harry. "What you're trying to do is impart some words of wisdom."
The comment made Harry smile. "Funny, I always thought that Hermione, McGonagall, and Dumbledore did that better than I ever could."
Teddy sat up straight in his seat and pushed the Potters' album back into Harry's lap. "But I have something to say, too." Harry raised his eyebrows, and Teddy continued, "Just go with me, here."
Harry shrugged and put the newspaper aside as Teddy flipped back to the beginning of the book, where an eighteen-year-old Harry stared at the camera, hair stuck up in the back as usual, glasses freshly broken (and subsequently repaired by Hermione), and a baby Metamorphmagus in his arms.
"I've also known you my whole life," Teddy finally said. "I remember that day when you insisted on taking me to a Muggle amusement park when I was five, and Aunt Ginny nearly had conniptions because I couldn't control my shifting hair color that day. I remember the jealousy I felt when you told me that you two were going to have a baby of your own, because—because—because I loved being your son. I miss my real mum and dad, of course, I miss them every day; but you, Grandma Meda, Aunt Ginny, and the rest of the Weasleys—you all raised me. You took care of me. I was one of the family." He smiled, though his eyes were wet. "I did get over my jealousy of James, you know."
"I'd hope so," Harry gently joked, and he rubbed Teddy's shoulder.
His godson kept flipping through the Potter family's moments. "Of course I was there for James', Al's, and Lily's childhoods. How could I not be? I knew them every step of the way. Like here," Teddy said, pointing to a picture of him hold little Lily up to a crabapple tree. "I knew that Lily wanted the crabapples to throw at the local crows in the neighborhood, not at her brothers as you and Aunt Ginny thought. She hated how the crows harassed Turnstile, the family owl. And here," he added, flipping to a picture of a grumpy Lily in a dress who smiled when Teddy walked into the picture and draped his cloak around her shoulders. "She didn't want to go to Scorpius' party, but she went because Rose asked her to and you and Aunt Ginny thought she should get out of her room and take a break from reading her comics and dragon magazines."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Yes, remind me to thank Al's girlfriend for getting Lily into American comics."
"And then here," Teddy continued with a gentle smile. He was pointing to a picture taken of Lily, who was holding the best O.W.L.s in her family. "See how her nose is crinkled as she hides behind the marks? She didn't want James and Al making fun of her—which we all know they did anyway—but she also told me that she couldn't help it. She had tried, but Lily…actually loves studying."
The father bit back a remark. Thinking of a child of his and Ginny's that loved school…it was a little funny and hard to believe.
"And I know this not because she wanted to shut you guys out, but because Lily told me everything. Well, almost everything. I doubt she thought I should know the real girly stuff. But my point is that Lily tried talking with other people. Some worked, some didn't." Teddy flipped through several other pages. "But every time, Lily could tell me and know I'd listen. I didn't think much of it at first until we took the O.W.L.s photo and I thought, 'I ought to kiss that girl.'" Teddy blushed as Harry gave him a look. "Eh-heh…chastely, of course, Uncle Harry…" He pointed to one of the most recent photographs, one of Lily twirling on Platform Nine and Three Quarters with Teddy before getting on the Hogwarts Express for her final year of schooling. "But…I see it here. She's fancied other blokes in the past, I know—even Luna's sons," he added when Harry looked doubtful, "but she never sounded so…Lily when she told me she liked me."
"Just liked."
"Loved," Teddy corrected himself.
Harry stared at the picture. "And…are you sure you're not just hearing what you want to hear, Teddy?"
"Interrogate Lily yourself! Well, actually, don't, because then she'd get mad at me for suggesting the idea, and I really hate it when she's mad at me, because she's doesn't just ignore me, she talks right through me as though I'm not there, and I can't stand not talking to Lils—"
"Teddy, shut it." Harry closed the albums and suppressed a laugh. "I think I get it a little bit better now."
"Really?" He looked so hopeful.
"A bit. It does a lot better than just saying, 'I love Lily.'" Harry met Teddy's eyes. "But I would still like you to heed my advice and grow some more. Please. If not for me…for Lily."
Teddy nodded and stood. He hugged Harry tightly and then smoothed his jacket. "Well, I wanted you to know, since your opinion matters to me. But, Uncle Harry?"
"I might grow some more, but beware that my love for Lils will, too." He nodded and left the house, leaving Harry to ponder his words alone.
Quite honestly, Harry had already figured as much, but he thought he should've had a say to at least have Teddy seriously thinking. But who was Harry kidding? Teddy was a headstrong lion just like him.
- ^-^3
:] I've wanted to do this kind of fic for a little while now. So many people harp on about Teddy being similar to his real parents, but there's likely a lot of Harry in him, too, if Harry and Andromeda raised him. And I wanted some true consideration to that fact and to what things might roam through Harry's head if Teddy did love Lily. I really just wanted something familial and fluffy…so how did I do? ;)
Thank you very much for reading—and please review!

The Vincentian Partnership for Social Justice
The ethos of the VPSJ, which is a faith based NGO, is rooted in:
- The call of the Gospels "that all may have life and have it to the full" (John 10.10)
- Belief in the dignity and potential of every human being
- Commitment to working with people experiencing social and economic exclusion in order to bring about the change necessary for a more just and inclusive Ireland
To achieve its goal of working for social and economic change the VPSJ uses four main approaches:
Active Citizenship/Voter Education
The facilitation of the Active Citizenship/Voter Education Programme which encourages people who have lost confidence in the democratic electoral system to recognise their vote as a voice for social and economic change. Read more »
Development of Minimum Essential Budget Standards
Engagement in research on the expenditure and income needed for a minimum essential standard of living of all; which produces facts and figures on the standard of living which members of the public have agreed is the minimum below which no one should be expected to live. Read more »
Networking with individuals and groups which share the values and goals of the VPSJ. Read more »
By providing data which reflects current social and economic reality and which is used by different organisations – Government, Statutory Agencies and NGOs in their work. Read more »
So why should we heed Francis' call and be missionary disciples despite our lack of "professional credentials?" Most poignantly, we must do this because our faith isn't simply a possession to be held, but a gift to be shared. The words missionary and evangelization may have negative connotations for some today, but we must give it a second look. Evangelization is not about bragging about one's holiness. It's not about coercing others to take on our politics. It's not even about converting anyone. At its very core, missionary discipleship is about sharing the Gospel, which literally means "good news." And our world is in such desperate need of good news.

Microsoft has announced that Kinect is coming to Windows on February 1.
While you'll of course be playing games on it, as has been explained when the crossover was first revealed, there's more to it than just waving your arms to play Microsoft Flight. There are a number of office and communications uses for it as well, among other things. Some of the companies working with Microsoft on stuff for Windows Kinect include Boeing, Mattel and Toyota.


text: I know others have posted similar issues. But, wanted to post my own thread. We have TWO DirecTV Tivo's. BOTH are having a difficult time recording season passes for common shows like Modern Family, Glee and Raising Hope. I've spoken to DirecTv, they wanted to replace these with their new HR34 POS. Any thoughts on how I might fix this? I've removed the shows from the season manager, and then re-added them (with a reboot between). We're very close to walking away from DirecTV and just investing in two Tivo's and over the air HD. DirecTv seriously sucks worse than cable providers now.

Officers are not social workers or parental surrogates, though they often go above and beyond the call of duty. Fifth District officers have bought bicycles and toys for area youth, helped with homework, engaged in sports activities etc. Chief Lanier has even secured employment for some of our young people. These activities clearly go above and beyond the call of duty for law enforcement personnel.
Parents should be held accountable for directing the activities of their children. No child should be aimlessly wandering the streets and engaging in rowdy behavior with cohorts. I believe the police should contact the parents of these rowdy youth and put them on notice about the consequences of disturbing public safety. Concerned and responsible parents do not allow their children to roam the streets and disturb the public.

Briers had been a Warrington player for just a few days when he went back to St Helens last April to find himself on the wrong end of a 60- 16 scoreline - the third heavy beating his side had taken at Knowsley Road in three visits. "I don't remember too much about that game," he said. "It's probably because I've tried to forget it, but it was hard going."
Briers had moved from Saints in search of regular first-team rugby and, despite that unhappy baptism, has no regrets about doing so. What is more, he firmly believes that Warrington's return to Knowsley Road today in their Silk Cut Challenge Cup fifth-round tie will be a very different experience. "I can't wait to play there again," he said. "There have been many changes since then at Warrington - all for the better. The main thing is that we have done a lot of work on our defence."
With 200 points in their debit column from those last three visits, there has clearly been room for improvement in that department, and having a more solid base to work from can only help the 19-year-old Briers' development. A stint standing in for the suspended Bobbie Goulding at Saints gave him the taste for the top flight. When Goulding was available once more, the relative obscurity of the Alliance team beckoned again. "And I didn't fancy that prospect at all."
Even playing in a struggling side like Warrington last season, Briers impressed sufficiently to be voted Super League's Young Player of the Year, ahead of equally promising scrum-halves such as Saints' Sean Long and Danny Orr of Castleford.
This could be the season when all three make their mark, with one emerging as a candidate for the Test side by the time New Zealand arrive in November. Briers believes that he will benefit from playing alongside Warrington's new stand-off, Adam Doyle, and another newly arrived Australian, the hooker and team captain, Danny Farrar. They are both players who will make Warrington a tougher proposition than Saints have grown used to meeting over the past couple of years.
Injury will prevent Adam Fogerty from playing against Saints, who are also his old team, while Chris Morley has not yet established himself in Warrington's starting line-up. Morley was a make-weight in the deal that took Paul Sculthorpe to Knowsley Road in the biggest transfer deal of the close season. Sculthorpe was such a tower of strength for Warrington last season that it is difficult to imagine them without him, but he will be in Saints' colours this afternoon and is one reason why their radically remodelled side might rediscover the consistency which deserted them last season.
The new blood in other positions will also freshen up a team who had lost their way, although it is still anyone's guess how well the chemistry will eventually work. Their record of having won the Cup over the last two seasons will focus the minds even of players who were not involved, however, and even a much-improved Warrington will find it difficult to eject them from the competition at this stage.
The other, equally attractive all-Super League clash is at the Stoop in London, where the Broncos - showing even more changes from last season than Saints - should be just too strong for Halifax.Reuse content

With the worldwide gaming industry hitting over $90 billion in revenue in 2016, it's no wonder the world's top tech companies are continuing to invest in gadgets and content that make gameplay easier, better and more immersive.
Be it the current range of ultra-powerful gaming laptops, hyper-convenient smartphones, or spookily immersive VR headsets, gaming gadgets are certainly evolving at a phenomenal rate, so here's a useful checklist of the latest gaming trends to watch out for in 2017:2017 will be an exciting year for gaming across all platforms and formats Click To Tweet
While the flashy high-profile console releases like the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Scorpio will undoubtedly be big news of 2017, there is much that the humble PC can still offer in terms of flexibility and firepower for the true gaming enthusiast.
There are some out-of-this-world PC builds out there, but they would have a hard job in combining the power and convenience packed into the incredible Razer Blade Pro.
This rather cool gaming laptop has all of the processing power of a desktop, but is still able to handle even the most graphically advanced titles like the recent Doom revamp with ease thanks to its Nvidia GTX1080 graphics card.
And there have also been some noteworthy developments in mobile gaming, and 2017 looks set to continue that trend as some seriously impressive smartphone models are set to hit the market. And the pick of the bunch has to be the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 that's rumoured to have a bezel-less display so that we can pack more action onto the massive OLED screen.
Such technological improvements have been in part driven by users who are increasingly using these devices to play mobile games. Last year the online gambling market grew by 7.91%, so it's clear there is huge demand for games such as online roulette as offered by the likes of Bet Way, and larger displays help to make the experience of playing those games more authentic, realistic and immersive.The rise of AR and VR will be transformative for gaming tech in 2017. Click To Tweet
The rise of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality will also be transformative for gaming tech in 2017. We've already shown how the PlayStation VR has started giving gamers a real taste for the tech but still faces problems with some game formats, so it remains to be seen whether 2017 will see the technology truly go mainstream. With most smartphone manufacturers working to make their devices VR-ready and Google Daydream making a play for the affordable end of the VR spectrum, we should see some significant moves in that direction.
Whether we use these technologies to play cutting-edge horror titles like Resident Evil 7 VR or just fancy keeping it simple with an online roulette game or something like Tetris or Candy Crush, there will surely be a new gaming gadget for you to choose from in 2017.

Approaches to Learning to Read
Sign up FREE to ToucanLearn to receive hundreds of activities, games and craft for preschool children! Find out more...
When your children start school, and quite possibly in earlier educational settings, they will begin to learn how to read. Learning to read is a complex and challenging task but is such a vital skill that the more practice and the more little ones can be encouraged to read, the better. As a parent, you will play an important role in the journey to becoming a reader, but the overall burden falls on the teachers working with your children.
There are various approaches to learning to read, and you will probably hear different terms. Most methods are based on on of two fundamental approaches:-
Phonics: requires words to be broken down into sounds in order to help sound out whole words.
Lexical: reading teaches recognition of whole words.
Since 2005, the UK government has stipulated a phonic approach to learning to read, employing a particular model known as synthetic phonics. This encourages words to be broken into phonic sounds which are then blended together in order to sound out complete words. Other phonic and lexical approaches play their part - for example, teachers will encourage the learning of 'high frequency words' so that young children can recognise some of the most common words in the language.
The emphasis on synthetic phonics does not mean that other approaches to reading are invalid, and as a parent you do not need to worry about the intricacies of different learning models. The best contribution that you can offer as a parent is to ensure that you read regularly to your little ones, and that you support them in their reading when the time comes.

France's PSA Peugeot-Citroen (PSA) wants to acquire General Motor's European operations, but analysts and academics can't raise much enthusiasm for the deal.
A spokesman said on Tuesday that French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroen had plans to buy the Opel vehicle brand from General Motors.
GM broke to as high as $37.40 today, less than a buck from its 52-week high of $38.38.
Volkswagen's USA -listed shares edged up 0.5% to 31.88.
PSA Group said in a statement Tuesday that it was exploring "numerous strategic initiatives" that would expand the existing cooperation between the two companies, and that an acquisition of Opel was one of them. Market share for the Opel/Vauxhall brands has dropped from 6.9% in 2014 to 6.3% in 2015 to 6.2% past year.More news: Mary Berry's Great British Bake Off replacement revealed
But a PSA-Opel consolidation would net annual sales approaching 2.75 million units and more than 14.2% of the market, an overnight gain that puts it fast on the heels of a growth-minded Renault-Nissan and gives PSA greater access to the most profitable markets of Germany and the United Kingdom. PSA controls French brands Citroën, DS and Peugeot and is partially owned by the French government and state-owned Chinese automaker Dongfeng. As a result, GM began the process of divorcing from PSA in late 2013.
If the deal goes through, it could have huge ramifications for the European auto industry and could mean heavy job losses with closures of some the the firms' plants.
In recent years, GM sought to increase its co-operation with Peugeot and Citroen, in an effort to cut manufacturing costs and improve the profitability of both Opel and Vauxhall.
Announcing its full-year results last week, it said GM Europe had narrowed losses to 257 million USA dollars (£206 million) in the year to the end of December, from a loss of 813 million U.S. dollars (£651 million) the year before.

It automatically turns to away mode when I'm not around, records short clips when it detects motion, lets me turn the privacy feature on when I'm there, doesn't require any constant fiddling on my part, and integrates with Wink for a lot of automations. I find that the free plan suits me with its 24 hours of recorded motion clips and unlimited bookmarks and downloads, but if I were to travel or get more cameras like that spiffy new Flex, I'd surely need the Membership plan.Read More

I'm starting to feel like I've come full circle. I'm back in the Internet of my teenage years, that crazy free for all that got me hooked on everything online. I'm talking about the Internet of around 1997.
I was 14 and my parents got an AOL package – just as the Internet was going mainstream. AOL had launched in the UK the year before, and I was racking up my parents phone bill as quickly as they were earning the money to pay it.
I remember my mum suggesting my first chatroom screen name, which was frankly an invitation to predators, but that particular issue wasn't front of mind at the time (it was SECsy for those who want a chuckle, a play on my initials which are SEC). And I can still remember when and where I heard about Google (winter of 1999, in the computer lab at college).
So why is the Internet of 2012 just like 1997? Here are my top five reasons.
1. Facebook is Just a New Take on a Portal
Remember the Yahoo and AOL home pages? After you logged in they were customizable.
You could dictate what you were interested in and what you wanted to see. You joined groups of like-minded people, and there were groups available for every conceivable interest. You could chat, either with groups or one to one, with anyone who was online while you were, and when they weren't online you could send them a message to their AOL or Yahoo inbox, which they could see form a single browser window, because everything they needed was right there in one place.
Sound familiar? Yep, Facebook is just another portal.
2. Where We Used to Have Chat Rooms, We Now Have Twitter
Real time chat with people who are interested in the same things you are, imagine that. And being able to segregate your interests, just seeing comments from people about a single focus or topic, while being able to go private when you wanted to talk about someone behind their back. Spending hours talking useless drivel about what you did today or what happened on last night's soap.
Yep, Twitter is just a chat room with character limits (which, lets face it, is a godsend).
3. Forums are Never Ending
And strangely, forums still look the same, too. You would think someone would have 2.0'd forums up a long time ago, but nope, they're pretty much the same as they ever were. Like a good antique, they just get better with age.
4. We're Still Trying to Organize the Internet
What use are all those cool cat pictures if you can't find the one you want when you want it? Google has done the best job yet, but is nowhere near perfect, so we continue to complain and whine and bitch, and we still trust word of mouth more.
Maybe one day someone will find the perfect solution, probably based on the Dewey Decimal System and peer review – hell, it got us through to the 20th century just fine and I'm pretty sure there was always just as much information in the world as there is now.
5. Google is the New AOL
Yep, Google is your portal to everything. They provide your email, your chat groups, your instant messenger, even your daily news.
Google has cornered the web and the only thing that's missing is the ISP service (but seeing as they own your browser and possibly your operating system too soon enough, who needs those pesky ISP revenues?). They have everything all sewn up, just like AOL did back in the day. Oh yeah, AOL had search capability, too.
So What?
Yeah there are some similarities, but things have evolved and changed, and we don't like change. Well here are five things I've learned from realizing that the Internet is the same as it always was.
1. Search Engines Will Never be Perfect, Get Over it
Google kind of seemed like it was perfect in the beginning. It was such a huge improvement on what had come before. But like Microsoft, Yahoo, and all of the record companies, it needs to innovate to stay current.
Social search is Google's attempt to change how we search again, and maybe it will work, or maybe this time it will be the Goliath slayed by David? Who knows.
Really, unless you have the solution that will slay the giant, stop bitching about it, it just raises your blood pressure. Work with what you have, because something new is always around the corner.
2. Invest in Forums, They May be the Only Constant
Ah yes, forums. I first spoke about forum marketing back in 2005, and I still talk about it now.
I know the people I interact with on forums better than I know my Twitter people. We share a common, niche interest, and that gives us a bond that Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ can't even begin to replicate, not with all the circles or lists in the world.
Forums are where you go to invest a part of yourself, not the whole, and that is very special. Build a forum, and manage it well, or join an existing one, and participate passionately. Forums are something special and will only evolve, not die.
3. The Internet Has Been, and Always Will be, Social
Any social media expert who doesn't realize that, and who thinks that social means the big social networks, is failing. We're humans who build communities around us. From AOL chat to live journals to blog rings.
We enjoy the intimate and exclusive relationships most. That is the true basis of social, not Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr.
4. Don't Chase the Algorithm
Stay ahead of algorithms. Think like the search engines and social platforms think, which is simply: we need to make money, how can we best connect with people to get and keep market share, by providing the best answers, the best resources, the best experience.
If that means innovating, then innovate; if it means going old school, go old school. Challenge your expectations,
Do you really need 100,000 visitors, or will 10,000 dedicated customers who return because you know them, and provide the service that they need be just as profitable? Once you understand this you will be ahead of the algorithm, because you're thinking like a search engine
5. Relax, It's Nothing New
Last, but certainly not least, relax. It's all a cycle. The Internet is a society evolving, and like the rise and fall of every empire a new one will spring from the ashes.
The same cycle happens every day, so don't sweat it. Plan for the long term and sow your seeds now, because even if this is Internet winter, spring is always just around the corner again.

As Afghanistan's new leader took power in Kabul yesterday, the American commander of the Afghan war, General Tommy Franks, insisted US warplanes had bombed a convoy last week only after they were fired on by surface-to-air missiles.
General Franks denied that the convoy was transporting delegates to yesterday's inauguration ceremony. He said the vehicles were tracked for a long time before AC-130 gunships and Navy jet fighters attacked them.
Residents of the village of Asmani Kilai claimed US warplanes bombed them for seven hours on Thursday, killing 65 people, and strongly denied the victims included supporters of Osama bin Laden.
"The fact that two missiles were fired at our aircraft showed they were hostile forces and not innocent civilians," said General Franks. The general revealed he had held talks with General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's military leader, on joint operations in Pakistan to find Mr bin Laden. "There is always the possibility that he has slipped over the border into Pakistan," he said. "Another possibility is that he is dead in a cave in Tora Bora."
Hamid Karzai, the new leader of the interim government, said he would investigate the bombing at Asmani Kilai but doubted civilian tribal chiefs were the victims.Reuse content

There's probably some threshold at which countries with a Gini coefficient high enough, revolt.
"The Gini coefficient for the United States as a whole is .450, about the same as Iran and the Philippines. For comparison's sake, the Gini coefficient for Sweden, the world's most-equal country, is .230. Denmark's is .248, Germany's is .270 and Canada's is .321. The most unequal countries in the world have Gini coefficients between .60 to roughly .70. Though none of America's metros score that high, the picture is still not a pretty one. Most large metros (with over one million people) have inequality levels that are equal to or above the U.S. average.
The Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk (.537) metro — which includes not just the gritty factory town that gives it its name, but stately Westport and über-affluent Greenwich — shares a Gini ranking with Thailand (.536). "The richest Thais earn 14.7 times more than the poorest," said Gwi-Yeop Son, an United Nations Development Programme representative, a few years ago. "The bottom 60 percent of the population's share of the income is only 25 percent."
The disparity between New York's (.504) richest and poorest is comparable to what you'd find in Swaziland (.504), a place not generally noted for its economic dynamism or quality of life (its average life expectancy is the lowest in the world).
Los Angeles's inequality (.485) is the equivalent of the Dominican Republic (.484).
Chicago (.468) is like El Salvador (.469).
Detroit (.457) matches up with the Philippines (.458).
San Francisco's (.475) inequality is similar to Madagascar's (.475).
Dallas (.463) is like Malaysia (.462).
Inequality in Denver (.455) is comparable to Jamaica's (.455).
Seattle's Gini (.439) is similar to Nigeria (.437).
On the flip side, the Twin Cities of Minneapolis St. Paul (.436), Greater Washington, D.C. (.435), Las Vegas (.429), Honolulu (.421), Salt Lake City (.417), and several others stand out as having among the lowest levels of inequality, though these levels are in line with China (.415) and Russia (.422)."
That being poor in a major US city can be or is as bad as living in a "third-world" country.
Nonsense.... I see this as evidence that being rich in a third world country still kind of sucks.

GentlemenIam impressed with this overwhelming response to this subject. Keep it up guys & congrats, of course for demonstration of this intellectual enthusiasm. Coming back to the subject perse, if i can describe the design problem it would be:
- a sign - height = 25'-0" - signage surface area = 60 sft -location: - on a road parallel to a free way - windy off the free way - free way lined with trees - area is open with industrial buildings close - but the area is open for milesWell, Dennis, i have had experience of using UBC-94 & ANSI/ASCE for lateral load design of structures. The description of Exposure conditions (for borh these Codes) are being reproduced below which make the issue crystal clear.
EXPOSURE cATEGORY UBC-94 ANSI/ASCE------------------------------------------!-------------------------------EXPO-B has terrain with bldgs, forests! Urban & suburban areas,
or surface irregularities, ! wooded areas, or other terr- covering at least 20% of the ! ain with numerous closely ground level area extending ! spaced obstructions having 1 mile or more from the site. ! the size of single family ! Dwellings or larger.......------------------------------------------!--------------------------------EXPO-C has terrain which is flat & ! open terrain with scattered
generally open, extending one- ! obstructions having heights mile or more from the site in ! generally less than 30 ft. any full quadrant. ! This category includes flat, ! open country & grasslands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -EXPO-D represents the most sever expos-! flat, unobstructed coastal ure in areas with basic wind ! areas directly exposed to speed of 80 mph or greater and ! wind flowing over large has terrain which is flat & ! bodies of water. This exposu- unobstructed facing large bodies! re shall be used for those of water over one mile or more ! areas representative of expo- in width relative to any quad- ! sure-D extending inland from rant of the building site. expo-! the shoreline a distance of sure-D extends inland from the ! 1500 ft. or 10 times the shoreline 1/4 mile or 10 times ! height of the building or the building height, whichever ! structure, whichever is is greater. ! greater. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, you can now conclude as: - Expo-B is ruled out because: - its not a terrain which covers 20% of the ground level area. Nor, its urban or suburban area or wooded area. It also doesn't have numerous closely spaced obstructions. - Expo-D is ruled out because: - Its not the area which is facing large bodies of water. - Expo-C is more relevant & applicable because: - The terrain in question is flat & generally open & as described by you its extending miles together. All these description qualify it fall in the Category of EXPOSURE-C & nothing else. Iam sure this fully explains & shall help in putting issue to bed! Best regards to all fellow Engineers.

From: "Structuralist" <dennis.wish@gtenet> Reply-To: seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org To: "SEAINT Listservice" <seaint(--nospam--at)seaint.org> Subject: What Exposure to use? Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2001 14:54:12 -0700This is the first time that I have had this one happen. I called the city ofIndio California to obtain the local wind load design criteria. I was told that to use an 80-mph wind, but when I asked what exposure to use, the Building Official responded with - "Your the engineer, you determine that! Use a minimum of at least Exposure C." There is quite a difference between Exposure C and D which has me worried. The sign is a 25'-0" tall pole with a 60-s.f. (6'-0" high x 10'-0" wide) sign. The sign occurs in a windy off the freeway, however, the freeway is lined with trees intending to create a wind break. This prevents sand from blowing over and building up on the freeway. How can an engineer determine the specific wind load conditions for a very specific site if the building official will not provide the information? Any suggestions? The sign is for an Auto Body Repair store located on the road running parallel to the freeway. The area is open with industrial buildings close by, but the area is open for miles. Regards, Dennis S.

Herman Odell; Lawyer, 81
Published: January 13, 1993
Herman Odell, a retired lawyer, died on Saturday at his home in Manhattan.
He had suffered from Alzheimer's disease and died of heart failure, his family said. He was 81.
Mr. Odell, who specialized in corporate law, practiced in Manhattan for more than 40 years. For many years he was a partner in Becker, Berman & Odell, a firm he joined after returning from military service in World War II. Later he went into individual practice. He retired in the mid-1980's.
Mr. Odell was born in Chicago. After graduating from the University of Chicago and its law school, he worked as a staff lawyer for the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington.
In the war, he enlisted in the Army, where he reached the rank of lieutenant colonel and won a Bronze Star.
Surviving are his wife of 44 years, the former Laura Green; two sons, James C. of Millington, N.J., and Robert G. of Los Angeles; a brother, Harold of Dayton, Ohio, and two grandsons.

I don't think I had mentioned it previously, but my father in law has been in poor health with end stage liver failure. He was very close to actually receiving a liver, but got an infection at the hospital and died last Wednesday. Having been a part of the sickness for the last two years, I have changed my attitude about organ donation. I am now an organ donor, though I can't remember why I wasn't in the first place!
Are you an organ donor, if not, why not?

Bob Bradley earned $818,000 in 2010
NEW YORK -- U.S. soccer coach Bob Bradley made $818,000 in the year ending lasting March 31 and women's coach Pia Sundhage earned $219,000, according to the U.S. Soccer Federation's annual tax return.
Bradley had $449,025 in base compensation, $345,000 in bonuses, $6,600 in deferred compensation and $17,619 in nontaxable benefits for a total of $818,244.
Sundhage made $207,667 in base compensation, $5,100 in deferred compensation and $6,868 in nontaxable benefits for a total of $219,635.
While the period included the U.S. men qualifying for last year's World Cup, there were no major women's competitions during the fiscal year.
A copy of the tax return was released Monday to The Associated Press.
Bradley's monthly salary of $41,667 last year was up from $37,500 in 2009 and $33,333 in 2008, according to an annual financial statement posted on the USSF Web site. He also received a $100,000 marketing guarantee in each year of the four-year deal.
He did not earn any bonuses in 2009.
After the U.S. advanced to the second round of the World Cup, the USSF held talks with Juergen Klinsmann, but they broke off. Bradley's contract then was renewed last Sept. 1 for an additional four years. Details on the new deal were not included.
Sundhage earned $13,333 a month in the year ending Nov. 30, 2009, then got a raise to $14,167 monthly in the year ending last Nov. 30. She receives $15,000 monthly through this November, then gets $15,833 monthly during the following year. Sundhage gets a $20,000 annual marketing guarantee.
The USSF received $10.56 million from Nike in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, including $1.56 million in equipment and $750,000 to account for a prorated share of a $6 million commitment bonus received in January 2007. The federation's deal with Nike runs through 2014.
The federation got $4.6 million from its agreement with Soccer United Marketing, an affiliate of Major League Soccer, in the latest fiscal year.

Lee Smith has confirmed he is leaving Leeds – and probably rugby league – at the end of this season. The England utility back has told the Rhinos he will not sign another contract and is expected to join Wasps.
"I will have completed seven years at the club at the end of the season and I feel the time is right to move on to a new challenge," said the 22-year-old, who has played full-back, wing and centre for the Rhinos.
Last season, he was man of the match in the Super League Grand Final and earned selection for England's World Cup squad in Australia. The chief executive of Leeds, Gary Hetherington, said Smith's departure – which is hardly unexpected – would give an opportunity to someone else.
"But it is always disappointing when a player decides to leave, especially one like Lee, who has come through the ranks and gone on to win international honours," he said.
Smith is in Leeds' squad at Harlequins today, along with exactly the sort of player who could kick on after his departure – the 18-year-old Kallum Watkins, who scored two tries in the victory over Huddersfield last week.
The Rhinos' three representatives in the England team that thrashed France last weekend – Ryan Hall, Danny McGuire and Jamie Peacock – also return to club duties.
Depending on what happens elsewhere, it is a match which could see Quins vault above Leeds into second place in the Super League. Their current run of five wins in their last six games started with a win at Headingley, so the Rhinos will be forewarned.
The other side playing today who could have a say in these matters is Hull KR, who need to put their recent form slump behind them at the Celtic Crusaders. Rovers are without Stanley Gene, but have Michael Vella back after injury and Ben Cockayne after a one-match suspension against a side that will have grown in confidence thanks to last week's unexpected win over Wigan. The Crusaders add Josh Hannay and Aled James to the side that achieved that result – their first home win in Super League.
The competition breaks new ground today with the Catalans Dragons hosting Warrington in Barcelona. There are encouraging reports that 15,000 tickets have been sold for the first-ever professional game in Spain.
Tomorrow, leaders St Helens are at Bradford, where Dave Halley has signed a new, two-year contract. Halley was loaned out to Wakefield earlier this season, but has made the full-back position his own since his return.
In the Northern Rail Cup, Halifax play Widnes for the right to meet Barrow in next month's final. Barrow beat Featherstone on Thursday night to reach their first final since 1983.Reuse content

Welcome to Congregation Beth Shalom
"May the door of our Synagogue
Be wide enough to receive
All who hunger for love.
All who are lonely for fellowship…
May our synagogue be,
For all who enter,
The doorway to
A richer and more meaningful life."
These words are reflective of the philosophy of our congregation, your congregation. One of the essential characteristics of Beth Shalom is warmth/friendliness. We like to think of ourselves as a large family and our building as a place people can call home. It is in this manner that our name is so relevant. Shalom means "welcome" and the atmosphere here radiates a feeling of community in which people have found lasting and fulfilling relationships.
We are a congregation whose approach to Judaism takes both tradition and the modern world seriously. We practice a Judaism that is durable yet relevant, intellectually and spiritually satisfying and enjoyable.
We take special pride in the scope of our synagogue programming. We know that there are certain basics which all people want from their synagogue, yet we also recognize that in a sizable congregation like ours, the needs are nearly as numerous as our membership. We are constantly working to be responsive to the broad range of interest and age groups.
Shabbat and Festival services at Beth Shalom are invariably times for celebration, as well as worship. Due to the youthfulness of our congregation, babynamings, B'nai Mitzvah and Aufrufs abound. It is not uncommon to see young people who were given their Jewish names on our bimah, returning for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah and just a few years later for a blessing as they prepare to be married. One of our newest initiatives has been our once a month SHABBATONE service where the entire family can come and worship in a creative Friday Night service enhanced beautifully by musical instruments.
Our egalitarian philosophy is not only reflected in our ritual life as a congregation but in our lay and professional leadership and throughout the full spectrum of opportunities at Beth Shalom. We hope you will join us and actively partake in these opportunities.
Aaron Melman, Rabbi
Steven Stoehr, Cantor
Ari Averbach, Assistant Rabbi
The "repair of the world" is a Jewish imperative. Congregation Beth Shalom strives to help its members bring Jewish perspective to the search for social justice and the alleviation of suffering, and to assume positions of service and leadership in the larger Jewish and general communities.
