Los Angeles, CA (PressExposure) October 19, 2011 -- When it comes to running a successful business, sometimes it's the finishing touches - and not the budget basics - that stand out most. Yes, you've got to have a quality product, and yes, the building you operate from must be safe, clean, and attractive. But very often for customers that finishing touch is what's most important. Increasingly today's finishing touch is the building's awning. Consider it your in-air welcome mat - just not for your feet.
In terms of structure, intent and performance, an awning for business is about two bottom lines: protecting customers from natural elements like the sun (providing shade) and offering temporary shelter from rain, wind, or snow, as well as, serving as a highly effective marketing and branding tool. Consumers today prefer a simple, low-key experience without a lot of distracting clutter, making awnings an essential part of the exterior design scheme of any business.
While there's no doubt plenty of business awning competition from sun-soaked California to (recently) rain-soaked New York, only Academy Inc. brings to its customers a level of care, consideration, and knowledge that's second to none. In other words, call us and you will be treated as a person, not just a number on a sheet, Real people. Real quality. Real results; all built on responsive straight talk and open communication. A leading manufacturer and supplier of customized retractable awnings in the United States, LA-based Academy Inc. offers tailored awnings that blend vivid colors and sleek design - all with a modern vibe.
"When it comes to manufacturing top-of-the-line commercial awnings, we're among the leaders in the U.S.," said a senior executive with the company. "We create durable awnings that withstand weather for years at a time. Apart from business promotion, awnings also perform the task of shielding customers from sun and rain."
Awnings can be used by businesses for purely their functional purposes or weaved together with branding that can include printed names and logos. The objective defines the look of the awnings chosen. A well chosen awning, be it fabric or metal, can enhance the exterior of a store and, and at the same time, convey the message that the business wants to disseminate to its customers. Whether it's backlit structures, canopies, curtains, free-standing assemblies, or even cushions and umbrellas, awnings and related products can be customized to include text or graphics making them capable of acting as signage for the business along with performing their primary task of providing shade. Need some protection and promotion on the go? Academy's carriage top portable cloth products easily turn a "beach bake" into a "beach blast."
Schools, too, can benefit from Academy's signature style and approach, especially in challenging economic times when the cost of school expansion or the cost of modular units proves too high. The Calvary School, in Pacific Palisades, has done just that. Eager to preserve an outdoor cafeteria, the school sought Academy's help in designing and installing a custom shade structure. Thanks to the effectiveness of Computer Automated Design, (CAD), school officials had the opportunity to approve a "virtual structure" long before the real canopy's slated completion. Students can now enjoy an outdoor eating experience protected from the outdoor elements - all without breaking the bank.
Experts at Academy take care of every detail operating in a 30,000 sq. ft. facility where they custom design and manufacture each product on site to match clients' specific requirements. An awning for business is designed through Computer Aided Drafting & Rendering (CAD) using full line graphics application. Radio-frequency welding combined with double seams on woven fabrics ensures maximum quality and durability. Academy professionals employ quality extended life threads, welded steel, aluminum and stainless frames. Completely closed and ground smooth, Academy business awnings are built to last - in whatever weather Mother Nature has in store.
About Academy Inc.
Located in Los Angeles, Academy Inc. is a leader in the custom manufacturing and installation of commercial awnings, canopies, umbrellas, shade structures, signs and cabanas. It is a fully licensed and insured company that has built its reputation by combining quality products with unparalleled customer service. They make use of new technology to provide the best of the custom business awnings, custom canopies, and the complete line of their products.

Morning Poems
Morning Poem I
The fingers of the awakening sun
sneak across the blanket of morning mist
and in through our window.
The sun caresses your creamy shoulder,
Runs his fingers through your golden hair,
playfully, and gently kisses your cheek,
(now a sun-kissed peach). And
I am jealous of the sun, but,
I still know that
Only your touch
can make me glow
as you do now.
art of tony baldwin - a book of poetry and art
Morning Poem II
The guinea pig taps and jerks
at his water bottle.
The cat meows for his breakfast,
rubbing against my leg
as I stumble through the
kitchen and into the shower…
Returning from my shower, I am stopped
by the return
of the sun, as he sneaks once more
over the sill, under the pane, across
the carpet, slowly tickling his way
across the bed, across your arm,
until he rests again at your side
to steal a kiss.
In this half-awakened
light of morning,
You shine, again.
And now I understand
that I, too,
can be the sun.

When I think of balloon artists, I flashback to that Steve Martin movie "Parenthood" where he dons a cowboy outfit, fumbles with a bunch of balloons and proudly holds up an unrecognizable mess aloft and yells "your lower intestines" to the delight of his young audience including the son he so desperately wants to please. It's a sweet and funny moment, but balloon artist Steve Martin is not!
Adventure Balloons on the other hand are the zen masters of balloon creations! It's pretty darn impressive when the balloon artist is SO GOOD that children and adults alike are clapping their hands when he finishes a balloon design, and some wish they could have his job.
My friend hired Adventure Balloons for her daughter's first birthday party and the young guy making the balloon art had us all fascinated as he cranked out one amazing design after another — a sailboat, choo choo train, a monkey hanging on a palm tree, Arial the Mermaid, Minnie Mouse, Nemo, an octopus, a horse, a bouquet of flowers with a teeny red ladybug, an Angry Bird and angry Pig, a panda hanging on to a bamboo shoot (mine, all mine!), a lizard, a butterfly, a scary monster, and perhaps (to me anyway) the piece de resistance — a basketball hoop system with the pole, backboard, hoop and basketball. WOW!
Both kids and their parents were in line waiting (im)patiently for their turn to ask the young Jedi balloon master to make us this and that. Best of all, if a balloon popped or, as in some cases, deflated … balloon man was there to make a fix. Kids were happy, parents were happy. It's all good!

Leaving this here mainly for @stevejalim, since it relates strongly to this topic: Everything Is Computation
What really hit home for me is in the penultimate paragraph:
Computation changes our idea of knowledge: instead of treating it as justified true belief, knowledge describes a local minimum in capturing regularities between observables.
There seems to be a problem earlier in the article: if state-change is a precursor to computation, how do pure functions with immutable state work? Are they pure maths or just magic? This is what happens when MIT moves from Lisp to Python A very thought provoking piece (I know I'm Wrong but the thought process is a fun trip.)
I already had the difference between calculation and computing on my to-do list. You've either just made it easier or harder. I need to go and let the cat out.
I've had this 'on file' for a while and it's old http://www.cs.northwestern.edu/~ian/What%20is%20computation.pdf
I find it interesting that Babbage & Ada seem to have seen the difference between the computational Analytical and the calculational Difference Engines more clearly than we do, that Turing defined mathematically what computability is, but that we still seem unclear about the definition of computation.
I've mentioned you in dispatches @auxbuss (as a trouble-maker)
This just came up on a friend's feed
That's a good paper. It cops out a bit by answering "What is computation?" by ultimately saying "It's tricky to define", but it covers some good ground that gives the reader a lot of info to think about the question.
Also state-change doesn't necessarily equate to change of (a variable's) state. A system is almost always changing state.
I'm internet famous at last!
My view is that time is an illusion. An emergent phenomenon. I base this on absolutely nothing more than what I know of what we humans know right now. Which is a tiny fraction of what a CERN physicist knows. Space, as we know it, is probably the same.
The idea of quantum time has been around a while. The limit is Planck Time, I believe.
So, your closing idea washes over me since there are no dimensions and there's certainly no now. I suspect these are simply emergent properties of fields. I also suspect there are a few more fields than we already know about. I hope so.
A collection of fields jiggling about with their fluctuations and vacuum energy interacting with each other under an immutable set of rules. We call it The Universe.
There was a scientist on Radio 4 talking about a new theory that 'gravity might be wrong' so there's no need for Dark Matter to exist to make the equations work
He said something like, "Physics will carry on, whether we understand it or not." I feel the same way about Truth. It exists, even if we don't know what it is, or if it is unknowable. Beliefs, testable hypotheses, theories, 'Laws' and scientific facts are us trying to edge closer, mostly in the dark, occasionally falling in bunkers.
I'm very very nearly done with the course and will write up my views on it when I am.
However, in the meantime this is awesome http://kevinhughes.ca/blog/tensor-kart - and even more so given that everything significant and techy here makes sense and is familiar, thanks to the course
Is this related to the "discrete tensor networks" I mentioned in the blog post, above? Thanks for the link. It looks relevant to several of my interests. I was hoping to invent a multi-dimensional network thing once I was better at Clojure.
I don't actually understand the question I'm asking yet. I deliberately didn't find out until I'd written the blog entry. A quick search gave me "neural tensor networks" and weird quantum entanglement shizzle which I can imagine being a multi-dimensional network. When I failed to learn to Lisp in 1981, it was for a project to add fuzzy logic into a semantic network. They've taken their time, haven't they? I'm going to blame the PC revolution, as usual, for plunging us back into the dark ages.
TensorFlow looks awesome. If it had some modern language bindings, it's be great
MOND (or Modified Newtonian Dynamics) has been around for a long time. The problem is making the equations work. Newtonian physics has proved to be extremely accurate for every space mission we've deployed to date. So, it certainly scales to Solar System level.
I suspect the reason this is being discussed is because of the recent death of Vera Rubin; a personal heroine of mine. Her book, Bright Galaxies, Dark Matters, is wonderful for anyone remotely interested in dark matter. It's one of the very few paper books I retain. I just love owning it and reading bits of it from time to time.
Vera's hope was that it is Newtonian physics that is wrong, and that dark matter, as a sub-nuclear particle, is not the cause of the galactic gravitational anomaly. I'm with Vera on this.
It's disgraceful that she wasn't awarded a Nobel for her work, and I'm not the only one to think so: http://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/04/opinion/why-vera-rubin-deserved-a-nobel.html
Edit: So the non-relativistic component of MOND bothered me. I found this: https://arxiv.org/abs/1112.3960
Moving away slightly from ML, but same field. Loved this from 33rd Chaos Communication Congress (33C3) in December. Paging @stevejalim & @Woo. Q&A at ~45 mins:
Joscha Bach is @plinz on the twitters.
This is great. I'm only half way through. It mentions the state-vector of the universe. JSD talks about them for a single process and I think it contains a 'text pointer'. The universe must have a big book, full of them.
I went to a talk by Jackson on how to use JSD with OO. He seems to have had the same ideas.
deep learning and neutral nets, from LinkedIn http://www.andreykurenkov.com/writing/a-brief-history-of-neural-nets-and-deep-learning/
Pete Ashton (fellow at BOMlabs) was asking on Twitter if anyone is interested in machine learning in art.
This is an excellent intro. It uses a bit of ML lingo (i.e. everyday words that have meaning in ML), but I don't think detracts. It's only 20 mins. Well worth a watch.
As I watched, I pondered whether the technique described could be applied to automatically handle functional tests, particularly regression testing. Interesting times.
Now starting on Neural Networks for Machine Learning.
At ~2h/week, that's looking a lot easier to fit into things!

Intellectual property litigator Mary Bourke has left Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutz to join the Wilmington, Del., office of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice and will bring four attorneys with her to the new firm. Delaware legal sources describe the departure as a tremendous gain for Womble Carlyle, noting Bourke's success in intellectual property disputes.
Also joining Womble Carlyle from Connolly Bove are partner Kristen H. Cramer, partner Mark J. Pino, who joins the firm's Washington, D.C., office, and associates Daniel M. Attaway and Dana K. Severance. All four attorneys will work with Bourke in the firm's life sciences intellectual property department.
"Womble Carlyle is a good fit for my practice because their intellectual property units are growing and I want to grow my group and my practice," Bourke told Delaware Law Weekly. "They have great litigation bench strength and support for me."
Bourke declined to comment on whether Connolly Bove's plans to merge with Houston firm Novak Druce + Quigg, creating the nation's seventh-largest intellectual property firm, had an impact on her decision. She also declined to comment on how the move impacts billing rates.
Bourke did say that she will be bringing some of her Connolly Bove clients to Womble Carlyle. During her time at Connolly Bove, Bourke represented companies involved in the biopharmaceutical, chemical and medical device industries. "I have brought many of my clients with me and I hope to develop new clients at Womble," she said.
Delaware legal insiders describe Bourke as a "big player" in the world of intellectual property, while another source used a baseball analogy, describing her as "a healthy Ryan Howard and Chase Utley rolled into one."
Bourke joins Womble Carlyle with roughly 25 years of patent experience in both the district and appellate courts. She was the first co-chair for pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc.'s successful defense of its cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor against an abbreviated new drug application challenge by drug maker Ranbaxy Laboratories.
Connolly Bove represented Pfizer in a number of high-profile challenges to Lipitor in federal courts throughout the country since the drug's approval in 1996. The drug has generated $1.2 billion in sales since its approval, according to data from Pfizer's website.
However, the amount of litigation generated by Lipitor has decreased since the drug's patent expired in November 2011, allowing drug manufacturers to replicate the product's compounds. The reduction in Lipitor cases was cited by Delaware sources as a factor in Connolly Bove's struggles in recent months.
Bourke has also served as co-lead counsel and first chair in eight abbreviated new drug application challenges to AstraZeneca's Crestor, which is also a cholesterol medicine, and she led the litigation team for LifeScan Inc. in an infringement action filed against it relating to blood glucose monitoring technology.
Connolly Bove managing partner Jeff Bove acknowledged the departure of Bourke's group and two other attorneys in a separate move in an email to Delaware Law Weekly. He said in the statement that the departing attorneys were not included in the discussions to merge with Novak Druce to create a new entity dubbed Novak Druce Connolly Bove + Quigg.
"These departures were expected and it is not unusual when there is a merger that some attorneys may choose a different platform," Bove said in the statement. "These attorneys are joining large general practice firms that are very different than our vision for Novak Druce Connolly Bove + Quigg. In fact, these departing attorneys were not considered in our discussions with or included in our plans with Novak Druce given earlier indications of the desire to be with a general practice firm. We have enjoyed working with them and wish them all the best."
"We are very excited that our merger is proceeding on schedule," he added.
Pino will represent clients in a variety of areas including patent counseling and opinions, litigation, and prosecution and re-examinations in pharmaceutical, biochemical and chemical matters. He previously served as co-vice chair of Connolly Bove's Washington, D.C., patent prosecution and counseling section.
He has experience with abbreviated new drug application litigation and proceedings before the International Trade Commission. In addition, Pino has a technical background that covers all subject matter involving small molecules, pharmaceuticals, organic chemistry and biochemical assays.
Cramer represents clients in patent infringement actions involving medical devices, pharmaceuticals and consumer products. During her time at Connolly Bove, she managed cases involving e-discovery in the United States and abroad, but it is not known if she will be handling e-discovery cases at Womble Carlyle.
Both Attaway and Severance are expected to represent clients in patent litigation, prosecution, counseling and trademark litigation in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Both also have experience in e-discovery cases.

Deacons for Defense Trailer (2003)
Inspired by a true story, this drama is set in 1965, not long after passage of the Civil Rights Act. Despite the Act, the African-American citizens of Bogalusa are still treated like third-class citizens, their fundamental rights as human beings persistently trampled by the white power structure, in general, and the local branch of the KKK. The story follows the formation of local black men, particularly ex-war veterans who after the struggles become too overbearing organizes the group, "Deacons for defense", an all-black defense group dedicated to patrolling the black section of town and protecting its residents from the more violent aspects of "white backlash."

text: Ratan Tata, who led the transformation of the Tata Group from a conventional corporate house into a $100 billion global conglomerate with high-profile acquisitions abroad, will retire on Friday, ending a 50-year run in one of India's oldest business empires. Marking a generational change, Mr. Tata, who turns 75 on December 28 (2012), will hand over the reins of the group to 44-year-old Cyrus Mistry. His vision to transform the group into a multi-national giant resulted in high profile acquisitions such as Tata Tea's takeover of U.K. brand Tetley for $450 million in 2000. But Mr. Ratan Tata set new standards for the Indian corporates in the current era of globalisation when Tata Steel acquired Anglo-Dutch rival Corus for 6.2 billion pounds beating CSN of Brazil in 2007. A year later, the group's automotive firm Tata Motors lapped up British luxury vehicle maker Jaguar Land Rover for $2.3 billion from Ford Motor Co. Even as Mr. Tata was concentrating on activities abroad, he came up with the idea of producing the world's cheapest car when he conceived the 'Rs.1 lakh' small car Nano. On his post-retirement plans, Mr. Tata, a bachelor, has said he will spend time on technology which is quite a passion with him. He will brush up on his piano, which he learnt as a school boy and pursue flying, apart from his focus on philanthropic activities.

6th Annual Black Hills Hang, Sheridan Lake, SD - Aug. 25-27th
decided to take down my response. I'm not going to justify asking a perfectly legitimate questions and showing the basis for asking it. DP, I've sent it to you, newton, if you want a copy just ask. Next time instead of calling me insulting, read my post thoroughly OR PM me, like you asked me to do, even though I was following the conversation that wasn't even initiated by me. Thanks

I just visited the site and would also like to know about the fill material. Was thinking this would be a nice alternative to higher priced items. Just need to know what I'm buying. Seems to be a hammock thing.
Bigfoot gets real mad when Bigfoot's wife makes "pot pie surprise" and it turns out Bigfoot doesn't LIKE surprises in Bigfoot's pot pie Bigfoot wanted tacos instead....
I agree with Slo 100%, as a customer I feel that I have every right to know what I am buying, and the secretive nature of what type of insulation being used is actually a turn off for me! The difference between insulation's in some cases is like night and day, and there is a reason for the many different types of insulation, if you were to read the thousands of pages (I skimmed over most) over at BPL talking about the differences between the insulations it would make your head spin!
It would be like saying we use nylon in our hammocks, but I'm not going to tell you what type/kind/etc.. of nylon we are using!
I am only saying this so hopefully other will see the frustration that we are feeling with this subject, as for the HF members that currently own the products I think thats great and the rave reviews and tests that you all have done is wonderful, and I fully stand behind our Cottage Gear makers and that is where I am trying to make sure my money goes when I want to buy a piece of gear! But you have to remember that this (at least for me) is the first and only time I have ever come across something like this, no other gear manufacturer holds this type of information from is consumer, and there is a reason for that!
Dp I am sure your products are fantastic, well made, (not so sure on UL) but I will say Light weight, and will be sought out from the HF members, I am not trying to be hurtful, down talking, bashing, insulting, or anything like that, I just hope that you take this all as constructive criticism and our thoughts and input on the subject!

Interview With A Blogger: Canadian Dad, Chris Read
Today I'm excited to be chatting with fellow Canuck, and founder of Canadian Dad, Chris Read! Take a peek below to find out more about this awesome dad blogger!
Hey there, Chris!
What prompted you to start blogging?
I started blogging at the urging of a psychiatrist of all things. I was going through a tough time after my father passed away and she recommended I do something that helped clear my mind. Writing fit the bill and I haven't looked back since. To be honest, the topic of my blog could have been anything but when I found the domain for canadiandad.com, I knew I had found my niche.
Tell us about your day job/educational pursuits?
Although I spend a lot of time on my blog, I actually have a full time job as a forensic analyst with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. To answer your immediate question, no, it is nothing like the show CSI, except for the fact that I own a pair of sunglasses and occasionally take them off slowly for effect. I also sing in a local band and just started guitar lessons, mostly because life isn't busy enough, you know??
Where's the farthest from home you've ever travelled? Tell us about your experience.
My wife and I attended a wedding in Punta Cana a few years back, and, long story short, never, ever put yourself in a situation where you need to be taken by ambulance to the local hospital. First, the ambulance is more like a small pickup truck and second, no one at the hospital speaks any kind of English…. Scary stuff.
What skill do you hope to master over the next year?
This one is easy for me. Organization. I have been flying by the seat of my pants for almost two years now and it's finally time for me to smarten up and start taking this thing seriously. You never know what will materialize when you put in the work and I am ready to take the next step with my writing and social media aspirations.
What's your current favourite song/band? And what are you reading?
Oh man, my musical taste varies from day to day. Right now though, I have Royals by Lorde stuck in my head and I also think Sirens by Pearl Jam is brilliant. Pearl Jam, Neil Young and Foo Fighters are at the top of my favourite bands list. The book I am currently glued to is Humans of New York by photographer Brandon Stanton. It's an amazing project and an even better read.
Share three blogs you adore!
Another tough question due to the fact that I read so many great blogs… Here we go:
- Schmutzie: Elan is a great person and an even better writer. She shares stories the way she feels them without watering anything down and is a breathe of fresh air in the blogging space.
- Honea Express: Whit Honea is one of those people who's writing you read and then wonder why he has a blog as opposed to being a best selling author. His writing makes you feel emotions you didn't even know were possible and I feel lucky to know him.
- Kindness Canada: Ok, a bit of a cheat here in that this site belongs to me. The catch is that the stories are written by people from across Canada. The goal is for people to submit their stories of kind things that have happened to them or that they have done. I have never been so inspired than when I read all the submissions that come in on a daily basis and I high hopes for the future of the site.
Thanks so much for chatting with us, Chris! Be sure to catch up with him via Canadian Dad, Kindness Canada, Facebook, and Twitter.


text: I'm having some major contact problems that didn't really fit in with the other threads here, but probably related. When I import my contacts from my SIM card, or export and re-import from MSD the phone number disappears from the contact but the contact is still phoneable etc - this is when I tick show "Google" and forces contacts to have numbers. However, when I sync these contacts with Facebook, they disappear from the list and are only recoverable when I untick the force contacts to have numbers. This happens on both phone and google import. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Xhysa

I woke up Palm Sunday watched the Papal Mass on television and my head just busted loose with overwhelming dread. Yep, a Head cold. I have not had one of these in over a decade.
I blame it on the NEVER-ENDING WINTER!
I did scrap on Saturday and would have continued to scrap but felt the scratchy throat begin.
Sneezing, aching, and well...just feeling cruddy.
Feeling like this interferes with my life and activity.
But here is a few of the pages I created on Saturday in my studio.
Easter and Spring break are just 4 days away.
Fingers crossed this head cold is just a "few days" affair.
Snowy, windy, SUPER COLD, & just icky outside.

Running time: 11am-12noon and 2.30-3.30pm

Martin has been busy baking biscuits and cakes in the kitchen. As he mixes the sugars and spices, he adds a sprinkling of songs, a generous helping of humour, and some imaginatively invented puppets to tell the story of The Magic Porridge Pot and The Gingerbread Man.
With the addition of five fruit and vegetables with minds of their own and an overflowing saucepan, Martin finds he has more to deal with than a hyperactive ginger biscuit!

…is a species of Aeginid hydrozoan that is the sole member of the genus Bathykorus. Bathykorus bouilloni is native to the Arctic Ocean and is most common around Greenland and northern Canada. B. bouilloni is a deep water species and is found in waters ranging from 800 to 2,500 m (2,600 to 8,200 ft). Because of this 'extreme' habitat it is difficult to study and much is still unknown about its biology and ecology.

This collection of snapshots was written as part of a "Whose Fic Is It Anyway?" improv writing challenge on Livejournal. Participants had three hours to answer as many random prompts as humanly possible in real time, so everything written here is completely unplanned, unbetaed, and probably somewhat unsane. However, I had a wonderful time writing them, they all managed to somehow remain DAYDverse compliant, and I hope that you at least get an enjoyable eye-roll out of reading them.
Prompt: Autumn, Hufflepuff Chorus, Learning to do something (allie_potter)
"The buttons are good, I think, but I can't help but think we should do more." Justin shrugged off his bookbag, letting it drop beside the bench as they all sat down. The new button was in his hand, flashing merrily back and forth between "Support Cedric Diggory!" and "Potter Stinks," but he was frowning, chewing his lip in contemplation. "Cedric's most public backer properly shouldn't be a Slytherin, you know."
"We could make our own buttons," Hannah suggested, "or book-covers or something like that."
"Maybe put together a bit of a Quidditch cheer, even," Ernie offered. "For his go of things at the Tasks."
"I don't want it to be mean-spirited," Justin warned. "That's the problem with these."
"Bloody mean-spirited of Potter to shove in!" Hannah snorted, crossing her arms fiercely as she tossed back her pigtails. "I think he likes it, too. Makes a big show of not, but see him light up when his mates are petting him."
"Nothing wrong with having friends."
"Perhaps, dear boy, but we're to show Cedric has more, aye?" Ernie began to pace, kicking at the newly-fallen autumn leaves. "I'm still for the Quidditch chant."
Justin considered it a moment, then his face lit eagerly. "Or a song! Like a team chant! A victory song!"
"You could write it," Hannah beamed. "You've a lovely voice, Justin, and you could teach it to the rest of us! We could get a whole Hufflepuff chorus going next time Cedric goes up!"
"Quite." Justin's smile had a vicious edge, but he couldn't help it, and he dived for his bag, already rummaging for a quill and fresh parchment. "What do you think rhymes better with 'Gryffindor', my fine chums, 'Awful Bore' or 'Attention Wh--"
He stopped, biting down hard on his own tongue in disbelief at what had nearly come out of his mouth, but Ernie and Hannah were already rolling with laughter. "Oh, the second one, Justin! The second one!"
Prompt: "Little pitchers have big ears" (VegaBlack62)
"Ya foul, pox-faced, gibberin' cunt! I'll bugger ya with a feckin' shiv o' your own shite-stuffed intestines, I will, and so hard your grandchildren'll be walkin' queer and spittin' turds! Feckin' mother o' Mary's bleedin' minge!" The outburst rang with staggering clarity across the Platform, and everyone within earshot - and that was, it seemed, at least three miles - turned to stare in shock at the red-faced eleven year-old clutching his toe.
And at his parents.
Seamus tried his utmost to look as appalled as everyone else, and at least the surprise at Tommy actually saying those things was enough to drop his jaw. It did not, however, change the looks, and he cleared his throat, shaking his head in disapproval. "Don't know where he'dve heard such language, I don't."
Susan seemed torn between which of her boys she wanted to kill first, but her shoulders were already shaking with laughter despite herself. "Can't imagine it, but you know what they say about little pitchers and big ears."
Prompt: Justin, Cedric, the Fat Friar (allie_potter)
"Mr. Diggory, you in there? Cedric?" Justin tapped hesitantly on the door of the Prefect's bathroom. "You've been an hour, Mr. Diggory, are you quite all right?"
"And what," the jovial voice still held an edge of rebuke, and Justin startled guiltily, whirling around to find the silvery figure of the Fat Friar hovering only a few feet behind him, "is a fourth-year doing up and about at this time of night?"
"I...I...I..." He drew a deep breath, his head dropping as he stared, shame-faced, at his feet. "I had something to give Mr. Diggory."
The kindly, transparent face creased in concern. "Not cheating, I hope."
"I don't..." he began, then stopped. "Maybe. I don't know. I just wanted to tell him if there was anything he needed - a broom like Potter's, or some rare charm or some such - that, not to be crass, but neither Ernie nor myself are precisely hurting financially speaking, and...."
"A lovely offer, child." The hand on his shoulder was ice-cold, and Justin shivered, feeling as though he had just been touched with a live electrical wire. "But best to bed with you."
He obeyed, but he couldn't help looking back in one last protest. "I just want him to win."
"And win he shall," the Fat Friar beamed, folding his hands almost smugly across his ample belly. "But he'll win because he's the best, and without a whisper or a Knut out of place. Leave the fancy brooms to those who need them, I say!"
Despite himself, Justin grinned. "Like a certain green-robed Quidditch team?"
Prompt: "All the colors of hell" (duck_or_rabbit)
Blue scattered pink. Yellow torn scarlet. Red charred black and flared green. Flashes across impossible spectrums. Purple dusted gray. Hazel rolled white.
He had heard it asked if one dreamed in color, but his nightmares, at least, held all the colors of hell.
Prompt: Neville/Hannah, Draco, broomstick (vegablack62)
"He's a guest at our establishment, Neville, how could you do that?"
"I didn't."
"They're OUR children, how could you allow it to happen, then?"
"Oh, for goodness sakes, Hannah, I can't be everywhere at once, and it wasn't so bad...just a simple little Lubricating Charm, and the look on his face!"
"I'm sorry."
"You should be. Was it wonderful?"
"Priceless. Worth every Knut he'll never spend here again and then some."
"I think I just might love you."
"Because Ernie greased Draco Malfoy's broom?"
"Because I know who taught him the spell."
Prompt: Harry, Cactus, iambic pentameter (ceredwensirius)
The theory of a friendship
Is rarely like the practice
Far less so when the girl you like
Finds you assaulted by a cactus
Prompt: Minister of Magic Fudge talking to Percy Weasley. Must consist of 26 sentences, each starting with a different letter of the alphabet. (bluealoe)
"Are you ready, Wetherby?"
"Begin at your leisure, Minister."
"Certain matters --"
"Dear Sir? Excuse me, I mean, shouldn't there be a salutation?"
"First things first, of course. Go on, I expect you can take care of that, Wetherby?"
"Happily. I'm ready."
"Just try to stay with me. 'Keeping in mind your gamekeeper's current status with the Department of Magical Creatures, you may want to reconsider your recent transaction which has come to our attention for the purchase of one thousand Finnish Doxies ostensibly for the school. Little educational value, according to our experts, can be found from these beings, however they are highly toxic. Mr. Malfoy in particular has expressed the gravest concern regarding the previous incident with the Hippogriff and his son. Need I remind you how poorly that resulted for everyone concerned? Obviously, it is the welfare of the student body which we all hold nearest and dearest, and I would request, Dumbledore, that you keep this in mind as I must reject your request at the highest levels, and insist that all further requisitions for the school be approved by my office. Previously submitted requisitions will also be subject to review and possible revocation. Quite sincerely --"
"Regards, maybe, Minister? Sounds more formal."
"The little bits are your job to clean up, Wetherby, I said that already! Ultimately, I have far more important things to do than play 'mother-may-I' with that old fool."
"Very true, Minister."
"Well then, with that taken care of - and you'll cross all the i's and dot all the t's - what's next on the agenda?"
"Xenophilius Lovegood, sir...he has named you in a lawsuit directly claiming that the Quibbler is suffering financial hardship due to your conspiracy with the Goblins and general mind-control efforts over the wizarding world."
"Yaxley was supposed to take care of that, wasn't he?"
"Zimbabwian Flu, sir, it's going around again, but I'll be happy to generate the response for you...always glad to be of any help I can."
Prompt: Colin Creevey, what could have been (bluealoe)
He didn't really notice it until the third year. It was all too new, all too strange, this not-life he had chosen in the split-second panic over the one he had lost, and there was so much more to do than he had expected for being dead. As the House Ghost, in particular, there were all manner of responsibilities, and it wasn't until he floated through a wall and entirely accidentally came upon Walter and Emma so....
It wasn't even about sex, though he knew no one would believe him if he had said so. He hadn't died a virgin, and you couldn't really even miss it that much without a body to ache for it.
But Walter had been in Dennis' year. A kid, even by the definition they had stretched until it bled. Not even Walter. Wally. Waz.
Not this wizard, wholly of age, his limbs long and lean-muscled with the growth spurt Colin had still been waiting for, stubble on his face and his moans a deep, effortless baritone that only wavered with passion. This man.
It was in seeing the kids grow up that the could-have-beens first began to sting. And it was when he greeted the first of their children that he crossed the grounds to the monument in the heart of night, and the silver droplets that vanished to nothing the moment they fell from his cheeks were at last for himself.
For who he had never been.
Prompt: Colin Creevey
Will some cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man?
- Young Lust, by Pink Floyd
"The Carrows won't like that when I tell them." The blood seemed to freeze in Colin's veins, but his heart was pounding as he turned, licking lips as suddenly dry as sandpaper.
"Defacing school property. Tsk tsk..." She shook her head slowly, her lips pursed in mocking rebuke, but her wand did not waver from where she had it aimed directly at the center of his chest. "Just what were you writing, anyway? Beyond the 'S', I mean."
"Hadn't entirely decided." A reckless thrill had overtaken him at the awareness that he had been caught, whipping the still-vivid terror into a courage he didn't know quite how to handle. "Slytherin girls something or other...it's just a matter of how I wanted to phrase the part about being completely frigid bitches."
Astoria's blue eyes narrowed fiercely, and she made an eerily catlike hiss as she tossed back her long blonde hair. "As opposed to a Gryffindor slut, I guess!"
She took a step towards him, closing the distance to jab her wand into his neck, forcing his chin up as he was pushed back against the wall. "I wouldn't have Mudblood scum like you if you paid me."
Colin closed his eyes, refusing to allow himself to flinch. "What's your going rate?"
It was too angry, too inexperienced to work properly, but it still knocked him to his knees, left him breathless, gasping, moaning as he clutched at his jaw. God, it felt like taking a roundhouse from Adams. He shook his head, surprised not to see blood when he spat on the stone floor, but she hadn't gone for Carrow, not yet, and the grin on her face was strangely heady when he looked up. "Couldn't handle me anyway."
For a moment, she seemed rattled that he had recovered so quickly, but then the sneer was back. "I don't fancy little boys."
"I'm the same age as you, Greengrass." Colin pushed himself to his feet, pretending to be more unsteady than he was, leaning heavily against the wall with a carefully pitiful whimper. Her wand was at her side. It was his chance.
He moved like lightning, the hard-shouldered tackle that Bagman had taught them and that he'd never imagined using against a girl, and then she was down, her wand clattering away down the dark hall, and he was on top of her...and this was a complication of attacking a girl he had never expected. Because her face was flushed, her lips parted, her chest heaving her breasts against him with every breath, and he could feel the baffling thrill through both of them like electricity.
"You...." She was too angry for words, her hands biting hard into his shoulders, but she wasn't really trying to get away.
His face lowered, his mouth an inch from hers. "Little boy? You going to make a man out of me, then, Slytherin?"
There was a long, long pause, this dangerous territory explored one heartbeat of treason at a time, and then she reared up, her mouth crushing into his, biting down hard on his lower lip, but not quite to blood, and he knew it was wrong, knew it was taking advantage of her in so many ways, knew it wasn't how war was supposed to go, but he did it anyway.
His arm lashed back, his wand jabbing hard into her side. "STUPIFY! OBLIVIATE!"
Prompt: An Unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde Variety, Madame Rosmerta, Justin (allie_potter)
"Here you are, dearie." Madame Rosmerta set the glass of wine on the table with a friendly but somewhat odd wink, and Justin looked up from the Potion's homework he was double-checking for Ernie, frowning at it bemusedly.
"Pardon me, ma'am, but I think there has been a mistake. I only ordered the one." He checked just to make sure, wondering for an instant if it had spilled without his knowledge, but the claret was still there, and still scarcely touched, at that.
"This one's from the gentleman over there." Her smile widened, her dark eyes sparkling, and Justin's confusion deepened for a few seconds, but then his gaze followed hers, and it all came together with the grace of a rhinocerous falling down a flight of stairs.
"Oh...oh dear." His voice sounded higher and tighter than he wanted it to, and it was entirely inappropriate to feel this panicky, he knew. He didn't even have any particular problem with homosexuality or homosexuals, per se, it was simply...
"You've never turned down anyone before, have you, boy?" Madame Rosmerta's amusement was still there, but there was a more maternal quality to it now, and she had pitched her voice thankfully so low that he could be reasonably sure they were the only ones in the busy pub who had heard.
"No, ma'am," he shook his head, then his eyes widened, and he nearly choked on the sip of wine he had taken to buy himself time as he realized how that could be read. "I mean," he amended hastily, "nor am I in the habit of saying --"
"Don't worry, I'll handle this. Part of the job. You can keep the second glass, though...'spect you might need it." She patted him on the shoulder, her skirt flipping sassily with the sway of her hips as she turned away, sidling so quickly into the crowd that he almost missed her parting words. "He won't bother you again after I mention the fifteen-stone Scotsman you usually come here with."

Two sheriff's deputies patrolling Seattle's transit system lied about a bus driver's use of profanity during a heated argument last November captured by a camera embedded in the driver's eyeglasses, a police investigation has found.
The incident comes as the public view of police across the nation is "laced with distrust," Transit Police Major Dave Jutilla wrote in a May 26 memo, obtained through a public-records request, that summarizes the incident.
The investigation grew out of a complaint filed by King County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Lou Caballero after an early-morning argument on Nov. 14 between he and graveyard-shift driver Kelvin Kirkpatrick in downtown Seattle, internal Sheriff's Office documents show.
In the incident, Kirkpatrick, a 20-year transit veteran, criticized Caballero and his deputies for failing to remove non-paying "sleepers" from his bus, the latest in a series of tense interactions between the men.

founding by Morse
Morse also had the gift of leadership. As part of a campaign against the licentiousness of the theatre, he helped launch, in 1827, the New York Journal of Commerce, which refused theatre advertisements. He also was a founder of the National Academy of Design, organized to increase U.S. respect for painters, and was its first president from 1826 to 1845.

Indigenous People
This is an outline of various ways to approach the following curricular themes in International English:
- Elaborate on and discuss various aspects of multicultural societies in the English-speaking world
- Reflect on how cultural differences and dissimilar value systems can affect communication
We have chosen to suggest an abundance of tasks in such a way that the learning/teaching may be relevant, varied and meet individual needs. The idea is that you'll get extensive and significant knowledge, even if you choose to skip some of the tasks.

Ford Motor Co. is requesting President Barack Obama's administration to make changes to a free trade pact with South Korea that is expected to lead to a "rapid" jump in US auto sales in that country, according to Steve Biegun, Ford vice president for international governmental affairs.
Biegun said that Ford is asking for the complete elimination of Korean barriers to the market. He added that Ford seeks a rapid increase in imports that would be accomplished in an enforceable way.
Biegun is insisting though that Ford isn't demanding for a guaranteed share of South Korea's new-car market, which is estimated at about $30 billion annually.
In an interview with reporters after an event with US Trade Representative Ron Kirk to launch its new Explorer sport-utility vehicle, Biegun remarked that there's no need for a quota but rather for an open market.
Ford has opposed the US-South Korea Free Trade Agreement negotiated and signed three years ago by the administration of then-President George W. Bush.
It's notable that Congress has never approved this agreement. Chrysler has also opposed the agreement in its current form. Meanwhile, General Motors Co., which is the principal owner of GM Daewoo in South Korea, has been neutral on the pact.
As mentioned in the complaint of Ford and the United Auto Workers union, the agreement is believed to be a failure in tearing down several longtime "non-tariff" barriers that have restricted US auto exports to South Korea to around 6,000 to 8,000 per year.
