Title: Skipped Lesson; Fiery Temper; Scorched Bum
Author: Mitch
Rating: PG
Warnings: The usual; a mind swear word, and, of course, spanking.
[A/N]: This is a response to Hermione's fit of temper in PoA…
Professor McGonagall is less than pleased with our favourite know-it-all.

[[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, U.S. edition.]]
But Hermione didn't turn up all lesson. …
She [Hermione] wasn't at lunch either. By the time they had finished
their apple pie, the after-effects of the Cheering Charms were wearing
off, and Harry and Ron had started to get slightly worried. …
They passed the security trolls, gave the Fat Lady the password
("Flibbertigibbet"), and scrambled through the portrait hole into the
common room.
Hermione was sitting at a table, fast asleep, her head resting on an
open Arithmancy book. They went to sit down on either side of her.
Harry prodded her away. …
"What? Oh no!" Hermione squeaked. "I forgot to go to Charms!"
[Excerpts from pages 294, and 295.]
[In Divination]
Hermione snorted.
Well, honestly…'the fates have informed her'…who sets the exam? She
does! What an amazing prediction!" she said, not troubling to keep her
voice low. …
"This is such a waste of time," Hermione hissed. "I could be
practicing something useful. I would be catching up on Cheering Charms
"Oh, for goodness' sake!" said Hermione loudly. "Not that ridiculous
Grim again!"
Professor Trelawney raised her enormous eyes to Hermione's face. …
She [Professor Trelawney] stood up, surveying Hermione with
unmistakable anger.
"I am sorry to say that from the moment you have arrived in this
class, my dear, it has been apparent that you do not have what the
noble art of Divination requires. Indeed, I don't remember ever
meeting a student whose mind was so hopelessly mundane." …
"Fine!" said Hermione suddenly, getting up and cramming Unfogging the
Future back into her bag. "Fine!" she repeated, swinging the bag over
her shoulder and almost knocking Ron off his chair. "I give up! I'm
And to the whole class's amazement, Hermione strode over to the
trapdoor, kicked it open, and climbed down the ladder out of sight.
[[Excerpts from pages 296, 297, 298, and 299. Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban, U. S. edition.]]
Hermione practically ran from the Divinations tower once she'd
cleared the ladder. She was fuming. How dare that woman say those
things to her! Hadn't she tried her hardest in the class? Hadn't she
read as much as she could possibly find about Divination; put all her
effort into learning as much as she could? Hopelessly mundane, indeed!
Humph! So intent on getting as far away from the Divination professor
as possible, Hermione failed to notice Professor McGonagall until
she'd hit the woman head on, falling backwards onto the floor, her
schoolbag tearing open, books and papers flying.
"Oomph!" Hermione exclaimed as she hit the floor, wincing at the force
of impact. "Damn!" She swore sotto voce, seeing who she'd run into and
noticing the contents of her bag scattered across the corridor.
"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall. I didn't see you…" Hermione said,
trying to pick up all her books and papers. She scowled when she saw
the state of her bag, pulling her wand from an inner-robes pocket and
quickly casting reparo on the ruined bag.
"I should think not, running about the corridors like that!"
Professor McGonagall scolded. "Aren't you supposed to be in class,
Miss Granger?" The esteemed Transfiguration professor, Gryffindor
House Head and Deputy Headmistress asked suspiciously as the
teenager's face reddened. She'd heard from Professor Flitwick at lunch
that the girl had missed Charms this afternoon, and it appeared she
was skipping another lesson.
"Yes, ma'am. Divination. But … really, I need to talk to you about
that…" Hermione bit her lower lip nervously. She knew she'd be in
trouble! Professor Flitwick had even told her, when she'd gone to
speak with him before Divination started, that he'd had to tell
Professor McGonagall she'd missed his lesson. And now her Head of
House had caught her running out of another lesson. How much worse
could this day get? she thought to herself.
"Very well; we'll continue this in my office. Come." Professor
McGonagall led the way to her office, which was, conveniently enough,
only down the hall. She held the door open for Hermione, urging the
teen to take a seat in front of her desk. "What is so urgent about
your Divination class that you felt the need to walk out of the class
and careen through the corridors at break-neck speeds to discuss with
Hermione winced at the professor's stern tone. It was very rare for
the student to be in trouble with her professors, so she was quite
unused to being on the receiving end of Professor McGonagall's anger.
"I'm sorry, Professor, but you didn't hear – she called my mind
`hopelessly mundane!'" She exclaimed indignantly.
Professor McGonagall frowned. Surely there was more to this situation
than met the eye. She scrutinized her student, taking in the ruffled
appearance, the bags under tired, slightly bloodshot eyes. And she
couldn't recall ever hearing this particular student speak so
disrespectfully. The professor gave an inward sigh; she'd warned
Hermione that it wasn't wise to take so many classes (although she had
pulled quite a few strings to get the girl the Time-turner she'd need
to do so). She had been adamant that Hermione come to her if she was
feeling too overwhelmed; that the higher-level of stress she would be
under would put her health at risk if she wasn't careful. Clearly, her
orders had gone ignored. Behind her, her fire flared and Professor
Trelawney's voice called out to her, interrupting her thoughts.
"Excuse me for a moment, Miss Granger," she said, approaching her
fireplace and erecting a silencing ward around it and herself.
"Yes, Sibyll?" She sighed, picking up on the fact that her fellow
professor was rather incensed. Her mood darkened as the Divination
professor began to describe to her the disrespect she'd had to endure
from Hermione before the girl had rudely fled the classroom.
"It took me nearly ten minutes to regain control after she so rudely
disrupted my lesson!" the eccentric professor exclaimed.
Professor McGonagall gave a short nod. "I will deal with it, Sibyll.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention."
With a `humph!', the other professor ended the call.
Professor McGonagall took down the silencing ward and seated herself
behind her desk, eyeing the fidgeting student in front of her.
"You were not completely honest with me, Miss Granger, and I do not
appreciate it." Professor McGonagall admonished severely. "You were
quite rude and discourteous to Professor Trelawney. Not only did you
unnecessarily attack and criticize her teaching, you interrupted the
learning of your fellow classmates. Do you have an explanation of your
"The entire subject's rubbish!" Hermione said in frustration.
"There's no point to it!"
"Miss Granger, your opinion on the subject is quite irrelevant!
Sibyll Trelawney is a professor at this school, and as such she
deserves respect. If you no longer wish to be a student in her class,
you approach me after classes and request to drop the subject; you do
not shout at your professor and run out of the lesson in a fury!"
Professor McGonagall said harshly. "I am, frankly, astounded at your
behavior today, young lady!"
Hermione lowered her gaze, her fury evaporating under the
considerable anger of her professor. She felt suddenly ashamed. What
was wrong with her lately? She'd snapped at and fought with her
friends; she never could seem to control her temper. She was always
tired. She was even getting behind on her schoolwork!
"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall… I don't know what's wrong with me
lately." She said softly.
"I do." Hermione looked up, confused. The professor continued, "You
have taken too much upon yourself this year, and you have blatantly
disregarded the warnings I gave you at the beginning of the year. Were
you not to come to me if you were becoming overwhelmed with your
And Hermione realized another reason her professor was angry with
her. Professor McGonagall had warned her… and she was right, Hermione
hadn't listened. She had arrogantly assumed she'd be able to handle
it. It was becoming painfully obvious to her just how wrong she had been.
"I… I thought I'd be able to handle it," Hermione said in barely a
whisper, staring at her hands in her lap.
"I did not caution you to be careful for my health, Miss Granger; I
did it for yours. Your body needs rest, and sleep, and food, and
sunshine to stay healthy. How much sleep have you been getting lately?
How many meals have you skipped? When was the last time you were
outside? You placed your health and well-being greatly at risk by not
coming to me as I asked you to when you realized your course-load was
too much for you to bear." Professor McGonagall admonished. The
Gryffindor Head of House heaved a sigh. Of all the students she had
come through her office for punishment, this one perhaps disappointed
her the most. She, though she wouldn't ever admit it out loud, rather
saw herself in Miss Hermione Granger; she'd been the same sort of
student, over-eager to please, always trying to learn whatever she
could about the world around her.
"I'm really sorry, Professor," the teen said once again, breaking
Professor McGonagall's train of thought.
"I am sorry, too, Miss Granger, because I am going to have to punish
you for your behaviour. Skipping classes, even accidentally," she
added, seeing the girl about to protest, "is unacceptable. And the way
you treated Professor Trelawney is disgraceful. I expect better of
you, Miss Granger, and you had better hope I never hear of you
disrespecting another professor in that manner!" Professor McGonagall
stood and walked around to the other side of her desk. She ordered
Hermione to stand and once she girl's chair was vacated, she pulled it
out from the desk and sat down.
"Ten points will be taken from Gryffindor for skipping class and a
further forty for your behaviour in Divination, for a total of fifty.
For your behaviour in Divination and, more personally, for disobeying
the rules I set forth for you regarding the Tine-Turner and your own
health, you will receive a spanking." The professor informed in a
stern, no-nonsense tone of voice. "I would ask that you remove your
outer robe."
Her parents had of course signed the corporal punishment release form
before she even started her first year, and she'd been spanked by the
school before, but Hermione was in trouble so rarely it was always
like a new experience for her. She felt her heart-rate increase and
her cheeks flushed a light pink. She knew she deserved it, but she
absolutely hated it! Biting her lower lip, Hermione removed her outer
robe, folded it, and sat it on the corner of Professor McGonagall's desk.
"Over my knees, Miss Granger," came the next order, and Hermione's
blush, as well as her embarrassment, increased. She awkwardly bent
across the professor's knees and was shifted into a better position.
Professor McGonagall sighed softly and lifted Hermione's skirt,
tucking the hem into the waistband. She raised her hand and brought it
down sharply on the panty-clad bottom. Her student whimpered, knowing
it was only the first of many, and the professor began raining down
sharply stinging smacks onto the vulnerable backside before her.
Hermione squirmed on her teacher's lap, eyes stinging with tears as
the heat on her bottom grew. Professor McGonagall's hand fell in no
distinct pattern, though she was concentrating her swats to the
particularly tender sit-spots, determined to drive the lesson home.
When the backside in front of her was blushing a dark pink and she
could feel the heat rising even through the girl's panties, Professor
McGonagall paused. Hermione was crying softly, hot tears leaving their
tracks on her cheeks.
"Why are you receiving this spanking, Miss Granger?" the professor asked.
Hermione sniffled. "B-because I skipped class, and I was r-rude to
Professor Trelawney and r-ran out of class and I disobeyed y-you." Her
words came quickly, voice thick with tears.
"Exactly. We're almost done here, Hermione," she said gently. "I'm
going to use a ruler now, ten smacks." She informed her student, using
her wand to Conjure a long, thick ruler that she wasted no time in
bringing down firmly on Hermione's rear-end.
"Nooo –OWWww!" the child cried out, her hand flying back to cover her
Professor McGonagall pinned Hermione's arm to the small of her back,
and landed the remaining nine wallops quickly, causing the girl to
wail loudly and fall limp over her lap, sobbing for all she was worth.
Professor McGonagall Vanished the ruler. She rubbed Hermione's back
softly. "Shh, child; there, there, it's all over now." She said
softly, righting the girl's skirt and turning her over so she was
sitting in her professor's lap, bottom cradled between her thighs.
"I-I'm s-s-so so-*hiccough*-sorry, Pro-professor," Hermione sobbed,
clinging to the older woman.
"I know, child. You're quite forgiven." Professor McGonagall
continued patting Hermione's back softly, murmuring gently to her
until her sobs ceased. She handed the girl a handkerchief which she
used to dry her eyes. She allowed Hermione to stand, following suit
herself. Her hand on Hermione's shoulder, she said, "If you wish to
drop Divination, you may, but I expect you to apologize to Professor
"Yes, ma'am." Hermione sniffled.
"I also expect to see you in my office at the end of term, after
finals. You will be prepared to drop another elective class." The
professor ordered. "I will not let you have another year like this one."
"Yes, ma'am," she repeated, understanding that Professor McGonagall
really was only looking out for her in her best interests.
Professor McGonagall finally smiled. "Good girl. Run off and find
your friends; I'm sure they're looking for you. Enjoy your holidays,
and I don't want to see you in my office again!"
"No, Professor." Hermione returned her professor's smile. She walked
over to the office door and opened it, but paused. She turned around
to face her professor again. "Professor?... Thank you." Hermione
didn't wait for a response; she just left the office intent on heading
to the Gryffindor common room to find Harry and Ron.
Professor McGonagall watched the girl go, smile still on her face.
Professors weren't supposed to show any favoritism but, if she were
forced to admit, Hermione Granger, the `insufferable know-it-all',
held a special place in her heart, much like another fiery,
know-it-all Muggle-born Gryffindor girl she'd known many years ago.

Shaw Pittman shrugged off competition from RSA panel firms Ashurst Morris Crisp and Allen & Overy (A&O) to win its first instructions from the UK insurer. RSA used KLegal when it outsourced its desktop operations to IBM in 2001.
RSA will outsource the processing and administration of 2.4 million policies of its UK Life business to Unisys Insurance Services. A&O also missed out with client Unisys, which was advised by its in-house team. The firm did secure a minor role, advising RSA on pensions issues.
Abbey Life recommended Shaw Pittman to RSA, after the firm advised on the outsourcing of its life assurance claims administration to Unisys in 2000. Partner David Skinner led a team of six on the deal and he is hoping that the firm's work will earn a referral for the London office's fledgling corporate department.
Druces & Attlee advised Unisys on property issues and Travers Smith Braithwaite advised on pensions issues. Ashursts provided RSA with property advice.

great driver
Great driver, I have 11.5* stiff flex mitsubishi. Took a little time to get used to, but after that, it goes a pretty long way, and most important, it goes pretty much where you aim it. This driver just kinda wants to go straight. Great driver period.

Super Driver
I had a wicked slice, first 5 drives were horrible, then something clicked, I hit two buckets at driving range consistently over 220+ some close to 300. Best club I have hit..........ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried this driver at my driving range, I usually slice my drives very low, but when I tried this I got 10-20 more yards in carry and felt good and very consistent

Just awesome
So I started using this club, and was clueless how to hit it back in March. It didn\'t take long to figure out, and now I am hitting it longer, and straighter than any club I\'ve tried before. What was 220-250 yds off the tee, is now 250-280. Awesome club!

Gotta try it
WOW is about all I can say! Before I had a top flite xl 5000 driver and I could hit it about 270 or 280 but I never knew where it would end up at! Mainly I was having trouble slicing the ball, decided to buy the Nike SQ Sumo 5000 driver. Just got the club yesterday and have taken it to the range twice! I now hit the ball close to 300 almost every time and I no longer slice the ball! A slight fade at the worst. Club sets up really nice at address. 5 out of 5 for sure!

Bombs away
Simply the best driver I\'ve ever hit. Long and straight, and inspires confidence at address. Love the shape and feel of this club. You can work tee shots with it, which I\'ve found difficult with the square head varieties. Do yourself a favor and buy this for a great price.

Believe the Hype
I have been playing a Taylor Made r7 Draw 10.5 with a regular shaft for the last couple of years. My average round is usually in the low 90\'s. Recently I have been debating on purchasing a new driver. I decided to give this club a try. I took it to the range today and after a few adjustment swings to get use to this club (new shaft is 10 grams heavier) I was hitting the ball at least 15 to 20 yards further than my old Taylor Made. How do I know because I hit both clubs at the range today and the Nike was simply the longer club. I would recommend this club for the $119.00 price range. If your driver is a couple of years old and you would like to upgrade this would be an excellent choice. I\'M LOVING THE EXTRA DISTANCE!!!

Less MONEY - MO DISTANCE!!!
Great deal! I have been hitting a R5 reg. flex 10.5 for several years. Fathertime has been slowly sneaking up on me and have lost many yards! First time out of the wrapper I was smokin that R5 by 40 yards!!Got it out to 250+ a couple of times!If your looking for more distance you cant go wrong at this price! ONLY PROBLEM--- NO SUN GLASSES!! WHY?

This is a great club, it improves distance, but I was more fascinated by how much straighter I can hit it. Great club for a great price...... Trust me you will be hitting better with this club.

Nike SQ Sumo 5000 Driver
I was a decent driver before the Sumo 5000 but I was constantly hampered with mis-hits and inconstancy. The first day I got the driver I took it to the range and BOOM. Balls erupt off the tee. The first 9 I played I hit 9 out of 9 fairways. Anyone who says a driver can\'t help your game is lying. This club is FANTASTIC, came with retail stickers of 359.00! Best driver I have EVER hit. If your thinking about it, DO IT! Great investment and HIGHLY recommended in all the reviews you can find out there. 5 out of 5

SUMO Driver
I never was a big driver player prior to purchasing the Nike Sumo 5000, with a 10.5 loft. I really just never felt like I was going to do my game a favor with a driver, when I could hit my higher woods and low irons off the tee much more consistently. This club has changed that for me and added new dimension to my game. It handles mis-hits well and keeps my playing mostly on the short-grass and certainly closer to the pin for shot 2 than ever before. I am carrying 275+ yards consistently, and running to 300+yards often. Great club and a great price. Highly recommended!!!

Nike SQ 5000
I bought this driver almost a year ago and I can't ask for anything better. It's kinda hard to hit at first but once you get used to it you will be hitting it straighter than ever. It added 20 to 30 yards off the tee for me!

Michelle Morgan
Michelle Morgan has written numerous projects at major studios for film and television, though her heart belongs to independent cinema. Her feature directorial debut, L.A. Times, premiered at the Sundance 2017 film festival. Michelle is ecstatic to share her film with Sun Valley, which has a very special place in her heart as she really loves snow and baked potatoes. On an unrelated note, she also loves cats. Born and raised in and around Los Angeles, her film is a love letter to the city and its citizens she knows so well. If you see her on the slopes or eating a potato please go and say hi.
Suzi Yoonessi
Iranian American director Suzi Yoonessi still writes with jelly-pens, knows how to make a pretty awesome cootie-catcher and loves exploring the painful yet innocent era of adolescence where we're guided by a voice so endearing we can't help but embrace the memories of that time. Yoonessi's award-winning feature film Dear Lemon Lima (2009) premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The LA Times dubbed the visually stunning film as refreshing as an astro-pop on a summer day. The film was released by Phase 4 Films, HBO, Showtime and The Sundance Channel.
Yoonessi's ITVS FutureStates episode The Spring of Sorrow (2011) premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won an ECA award for the lush lensing that captured a post-apocolypic future. For International Women's Day, she directed #OwnYourVoice (2016) for the UN, YouTube and Portal A, which was recently nominated for a Webby and a Streamy Award. Yoonessi received a Jerome Foundation Grant for her artful documentary Vern (2003), which now resides in the SF Museum of Modern Art.
Yoonessi's hilarious series Olive and Mocha (2012-2015) is Funny or Die's 1st Annual Make Em LAFF award winner, and was the #1 video on Reddit for a week, with performances that won many hearts and horrified parents. Yoonessi currently directs branded, short and commercial spots for Funny or Die, Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, Portal A, Retrofit and Super Deluxe, and is in post-production on her second feature Unlovable, starring academy award nominee John Hawkes, academy award winner Melissa Leo and Charlene deGuzman.
Yoonessi received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and her MFA from Columbia University where she was a recipient of the FMI Directing Fellowship.

How sad :(
By lemonsuv on
Vehicle2006 GMC Envoy XL Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewI cringe when I learn friends have purchased a used GMC Envoy.
I feel like I should just 'scream' to let them know how much money they will be spending for stupidness.
The first brand new vechile I ever purchased.
I can't begin to tell you the amount of money I have spent on it.
A lemon it is.
Stupid things go wrong that should not go wrong.
Stablity track 6 times needs to be fixed.
Window motor...3x's
Now the ignition switch went...my fuse box gets so hot my kid in the back can smell it. Light bulbs blow every 2 months.
Oil gauge went, fuel gauge went.
All and all, I spent over 6,000 in repairs since I bought it.
Does GMC care?
I highly doubt it.
Would I purchse another...NOPE!
Best FeaturesLove the handling, love the comfort, love the vechile. Only has 76,000 miles on it.
Worst FeaturesHave GMC own up to their mistake. Either replace the electrical in the vechile or contact the orginal owners and MAKE IT RIGHT. No one should be dealing with this amount of repairs on a $50.000 vechile. I can put up with the crappy gas mileage, I can NOT put up with the fact ownership is not taken for faulty items that people are having. Recall...yeah, okay...got my letter in the fall...still have yet to have it fixed. Still waiting for the part? Whatever. I only hope that a person or family in not in that vechile when the electrical goes on the highway.

INFINITE's Sunggyu, who is the MC of 'Girl Spirit,' talked about label mate Lovelyz's Kei, who is competing in the show.
SEE ALSO: INFINITE's Sunggyu confesses he isn't popular in Japan
During the press conference for the new JTBC variety program on July 18, he talked about the possibility of his favoritism or bias towards his fellow label mate. Sunggyu said, "To be honest, I don't play a role of a judge, so it's fine. Also, Kei is a dongsaeng I'm very uncomfortable around. We're in the same agency, but we never saw each other often. The words we exchanged over a couple of years weren't many. I didn't know much about her singing, either, all this time, but I'm happy she's getting a chance [to show it]."
Maybe they'll get closer through this program!

Currently I reside in the US, but I hail from a small land locked Paradise tucked away in the interior of the East African Coast – the area known as ZANJ land during colonial times. The name is Uganda. I grew up on the outskirts of the capital city – Kampala, on the slopes of a hill called Mutundwe. My early childhood was in the country side – Masaka, far from the rumbles of the city traffic.
While in Uganda, I worked for 3 companies. Infosat – as a website developer and artist, Photo Magic – as a photo processor and photographer and C&MS – as an artist and web development instructor. After graduating from secondary school – A Level, I came to the US in 1996 to complete my degree in Art. I graduated in the Spring of 1999. I attended Ohio Valley University, Montgomery College and George Mason University. I majored in Art and Visual Technology with an Emphasis on 3D Environment Design and modeling, Character Modeling and Animation, Vehicle Modeling and Simulation.
I enjoy my work tremendously and I am forever grateful to God for blessing me with a gift I can share with the rest of the world.
Until recently, I had been working as a 3D artist/Animator for CAMBER. My main focus is Character modeling and animation, buildings and environment creation, plus mechanical modeling.
Currently I am working full time as an Independent film director and 3D Artist/Visual Effects Artist. I am also working as a 3D Consultant in the areas of Concept Design, Architectural Visualisation, 3D Modeling and Animation, Matte Painting, Illustration and Storyboarding.

Our health care system costs too much, wastes too much, makes too many mistakes, and gives back too little value for our money. The costs are continuing to accelerate at an unsustainable rate. Access is uneven. Too often, quality of care depends on where you live. For the wellbeing of all Americans, we need to do better.
The Affordable Care Act of 2010 takes significant steps toward all these goals. But the task of building a better-performing, sustainable health care system will take years. AARP believes we should preserve the best of our current system—including choice of doctors and treatments—even as we adopt reforms.
We all share a responsibility to resist wasteful and unnecessary health care costs. Individuals can promote their own health by eating right, exercising and following medical instructions. Doctors should be careful stewards of costly health care resources and base treatments on the best evidence. The government and private insurers can spur better care through policies and incentives that reward doctors for good results. Government also should establish valid, easily understandable measures of provider performance.
Employers should continue to offer coverage or contribute to its cost. Insurers must comply with the new law and stop denials of coverage due to pre-existing health conditions. Similarly, providers of supplemental Medicare insurance should also be required to provide coverage to seniors who have pre-existing conditions. The practice of age-rating insurance premiums for those in the under-65 individual market will be limited under the Affordable Care Act, resulting in more affordable premiums for most older persons.
Ultimately, the nation will need a long-term, stable revenue source to pay for health care, so everyone has access to decent coverage and care of the highest quality. The costs of health reform should be shared fairly.
Strengthening Medicare
Medicare is the foundation of health security for older Americans. Strengthening Medicare and ensuring it will be there for future generations is a major priority. This requires eliminating waste and containing costs.
ACA Strengthened Medicare
The Affordable Care Act took important steps to strengthen Medicare. The law will improve guaranteed benefits for prescription drugs, by phasing out the "doughnut hole" – the costly gap in coverage reached by people with high drug costs. It also improved coverage of preventive services, including screenings for major disease, and added an annual wellness checkup. The Medicare trust fund was extended for almost an additional decade.
Rising Costs in Health Care System Are the Problem
Rising costs in the broader U.S. health care system are the main factor driving up Medicare costs and projected deficits in the federal budget. Medicare benefits are not the culprit. Big cuts to Medicare benefits or payment levels will only cause suffering and shift costs, without solving the fundamental problem of health care inflation.
Medicare Needs to be Improved
Medicare still has noteworthy limits that ultimately should be addressed. Over time, and as budget realities permit, Medicare should add benefits for vision, dental and hearing services, which private insurers routinely provide to younger Americans. Medicare also should expand its extremely limited coverage for long-term services and supports, and it should improve mental health benefits. AARP supports a cap on annual, out-of-pocket medical costs in Medicare to protect seniors from unaffordable out of pocket costs.
AARP calls on Medicare Advantage plans to continue to offer consumers competitive benefit packages. We support bonus payments for the best plans, as a way to encourage quality and competition in the marketplace.
Congress must establish a permanent solution for setting physician payments in Medicare. Continuing uncertainty over payment levels could discourage some doctors from participating in the program, reducing seniors' access to health care.
Savings Proposals Should Improve Efficiency and Eliminate Fraud but Must Maintain Quality and Choice
Even as we encourage these needed measures, AARP recognizes that rising costs in the broader health care system are putting pressure on the U.S. budget. These rising costs, along with expensive advances in technology and the aging of baby boomers, mean that reforms to Medicare will have to be considered.
Savings proposals should zero in on waste and fraud, and seek to increase efficiency, while maintaining quality and choice. The Affordable Care provides increased resources aimed at fraud prevention. Medicare must be preserved as a program of social insurance, serving all of society. Reforms must not reduce fundamental protections, saddle beneficiaries with out-of pocket costs they cannot afford, or unfairly squeeze the middle class.
Medicare Can Lead the Way
Medicare should lead the way in creating a better health care system, driving system-wide reforms
of service delivery to achieve both better effectiveness and better efficiency. It should use its vast purchasing power to spark innovation and best practices throughout the entire health care system. For example, Medicare should link doctors' reimbursement to measures of quality. It should create incentives to reward preventive care and coordination among health care professionals.
Under the Affordable Care Act, Medicare will be testing projects that seek to enhance patients' treatment through better coordination of care, improved teamwork among medical professionals and incentives to reduce unplanned hospital readmissions. As lessons are learned from these projects, we want to see them applied throughout the whole health care system.
Access for All
To make expanded coverage meaningful, we must remove barriers to care that harm the less-affluent and certain racial and ethnic communities. A shortage of primary care providers in many urban and rural areas continues to keep health care out of reach for many, unfairly dividing our society between health care haves and have-nots.
AARP advocates a national effort to build a larger, culturally competent health care workforce to fill the gap in primary care and the shortages of those trained to deal with the special needs of older patients. Medicare can lead the way by requiring greater accountability for hospitals that receive Medicare funding to train doctors, to ensure the right balance of primary care providers and specialists is produced. But meeting the health care needs of all communities will also require a greater role for non-physician healthcare professionals. Unnecessary limits on Advanced Practice Registered Nurses are an unwise barrier to primary care. State and national policymakers should review rules that limit nurses and other clinicians from working up to the full extent of their education and training.
In addition, AARP opposes actions by employers to cut back post-retirement health benefits. Such benefits should be considered a continuing obligation to all retirees, including those who leave the workforce as a result of a layoff or buyout.
Containing Cost
Congress and the Administration should mount ongoing efforts to contain health care costs in a way that is fair to all. There is no silver bullet. Efforts to wring out waste, increase efficiency, improve the use of medical information, manage chronic illness more effectively, avoid medical mistakes and promote healthy personal behaviors are all part of the answer. Continued cost growth for health care, increasingly threaten household budgets and discourage individuals from going to the doctor or filling prescriptions. More broadly, these costs negatively impact our national economic vitality.
Doctors must be more efficient stewards of costly care. They should be aware of medical evidence of effectiveness in recommending treatments, while making sure patients understand they are getting the care they need. Payment systems should be overhauled to encourage quality and discourage wasteful uses of costly technology
Enhancing Quality
The needs of patients should occupy the very center of the health care system. Patients should enjoy the benefits of safe, state-of-the art practice, no matter where they live. Patients and caregivers should be "in the loop" of communication with medical professionals. Health information technology should be expanded as a tool to help doctors and patients make good decisions, with adequate safeguards for individual privacy. Payment systems should reward doctors for good outcomes and not simply for volume of treatments.
Prevention makes sense for individuals and society, and we as a nation should do much more to reap the benefits. People can reduce their risks of costly illness by making the right personal choices, such as eating healthy food, getting exercise and not smoking. Doctors should be compensated for efforts to prevent illness and promote health. Insurance should fully cover recommended screenings and immunizations. Older patients should make use of new provisions in the Affordable Care Act that cover 100% of the cost of important health screenings and an annual wellness exam.
Making Sure Drugs are Affordable
Drugs often cost more than patients can afford, particularly brand-name medications that have patent protection. AARP advocates several ways to combat rising costs. Research comparing different drugs could help doctors make cost-effective decisions on what to prescribe. Generic versions of expensive biologic drugs used for various illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis and cancer, should become available much more quickly than permitted under current law.
AARP also supports transparency of marketing practices by the pharmaceutical industry in order to protect the public from conflicts of interest. Doctors should disclose when they accept gifts from drug companies. The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services should be authorized to directly negotiate lower drug prices, as other advanced countries do. Barriers to legal importation of drugs from Canada should be lifted, with appropriate safeguards to protect safety.

You come over with your candle light intentions, mop me off my feet and raise my weakness for comfort as one's opportunity to grab and selfishly feast on my vulnerable body. It's embarrassing yet a huge turn on that my bed knows exactly how to transform my concrete muscles into cotton candy marshmallows. When I'm in your brace my clouds are digested beyond just releasing a fart that's been held in too long that it splashes little diarrhea stains in your brain.
Not for long will you be able to seduce me any longer, for I've met someone. I've found someone that adds value to my mornings and gives me opportunities that I never came close to having when I'm with you. He's a teaser, though he gives me what I want he makes me work to get closer, pushes and drives me, drives me away from you for he knows you spoil me; spoils and drains the success from within me.
Cater to my needs but without my permission of desire and temptation to strive for nothing less than the best. I'm satisfied by his motivation and confidence in me. He made the pipes open and rain down on me, sheltered me with warmth and soothes me with relaxation. I am alone with you now and I did exactly what you said. From now on amma just Hit it & Quit it and come right back to you. Because come to think about it if I didn't have my phone, I would never get to school.

I have lived in many cities and I have discovered that different genres of cuisine are, on average, either executed well or poorly in each. For example, since moving to Toronto, I've discovered that the Thai and Japanese food are, for the most part, executed poorly here. The Chinese food on the other hand - yum!
I will be traveling to Montreal quite a bit in the next few months and am wondering if there are cuisines that are done better (on average) there compared to here. Obviously there will be variation within each city. For example - I'm frustrated with the sushi here - will it be any better in Montreal?
Thanks in advance!

Story Behind the Song: Dustin Lynch, 'Small Town Boy'
Subscribe to KDHL Radio on
Dustin Lynch's single "Small Town Boy" is the second tune from a yet-to-be-released third studio album. Written by Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip and Kyle Fishman, the song spoke to Lynch because of his rural upbringing, in Tullahoma, Tenn. Even though it's one of only a few songs on his next record that Lynch didn't write, it resonated with him as much as if he did write it.
Below, Lynch recalls for The Boot and other reporters the day he decided to record "Small Town Boy," and include it on his third album.
It's a song that I heard rolling down the road … I heard "Small Town Boy" right after Thanksgiving or Christmas break a couple years ago. I'll say, I heard it then because Rhett, Ben and Kyle wrote it on the Farm Tour — the Luke Bryan Tour — which is usually October-ish. So, probably, I think it was November they sent it to me.
I was actually going to deer hunt. I remember hearing it and then getting to my hunting lease, and the whole time I'm sitting in the tree stand, I'm like, "Man, I can't wait to get back and listen to that song again." On the way home, I was playing it over and over, and I was like, "Man, this is really special and cool."
It's looking like it's going to be our quickest-rising single to date, and it's really going to do big things for us. I'm pretty excited to go into Summer 2017 with it.

Thx a lot Phil!!! =D>
Going to try it as soon as I get back from vacation here!
Hi guys,
This application is still being regularly updated
For the latest update info please look the the last post towards the end of this thread.
Windows Only - Sorry.
What it does:
- With a single click this tool will organise your UAD plugins into separate folders (which can be customised). 32 and/or 64 bit.
It supports all plugins past and future (You can add new plugins to the list in the .ini file).
Mono plugins and Novation Automap plugins will also be moved if they exist. (See [FILTERS])
Windows Only - Sorry.
Example in Cubase 5:
Cubase 7:
The preset folders are:
You can easily assign your own folder names to any plugin.
Full instructions are in the manual which is accessed after installation. Also you may see the post towards the end of this thread for the latest version info.

Thx a lot Phil!!! =D>
Going to try it as soon as I get back from vacation here!
New version uploaded.
It is now much easier to add new plugins and assign them to folders.
Basically in the uadmove.ini file each plugin contains one line:
The plugin number in the list
The plugin name (no .dll)
The folder you wish that plugin to be moved to
For example:
This means that you can now easily add new plugins and assign them to folders without having to type everything twice etc.Code:48=UAD Roland RE-201/Modulation 49=UAD RS-1/Reverb 50=UAD SPL Transient Designer/Other 51=UAD VCA VU/Compressor 52=END
Old and new plugin path can now be the same. A local copy is made to work from which is then deleted.
Final update added filters for Novation Automap and ability to customise filters.
You can add any extra "filters" to the uadmove.ini file
Filters are extensions that are added to the plugin name. For example "(m)" for the UAD mono
plugins. " (Automap)" for Novation Automap wrapped plugins (note the space before the bracket).
If the plugin name does not exist it will be skipped so don't worry about editing this unless you need
to add more filters.
- Each filter must be spelled exactly as it appears after the plugin name.
Each filter must be the next number in sequence.
Make sure that "END" is the very last item in this list.
1.05 Final:
Fixed problem with files not being copied. In Vista the new folders are created automatically. In XP it seems not.
Also added more accurate counter to display number of plugins copied and moved messages to be more appropriate.
This will be final release of this little tool.
Admin feel free to sticky if you think it is useful.
"This download link is invalid and there is no file associated with it."
This is the message on the page your link goes to.
Thanks for sharing this utility BTW, very handy
The link was down for about 6 minutes as I was just updating the application to 1.06 Final.Originally Posted by Loki
New link added to first post.App now runs in elevated mode so that files can be successfully copied if UAC is active.
Cool, many thanks!
Thanks for all your hard work Phil, going to give this a run. Much appreciated.

A SIX-YEAR-OLD US boy who was accidentally shot in the head by a four-year-old playmate has died from his wounds.
Prosecutor's office spokesman Al Della Fave, at Ocean County in southern New Jersey, confirmed the death of Brandon Holt on Tuesday night. He declined to provide further details.
Authorities say the two boys were playing outside on Monday night when the four-year-old boy got a .22-calibre rifle from his Toms River home and it accidentally discharged.
The children were about 13 metres apart at the time.
The four-year-old wasn't injured.
No criminal charges have been filed, but authorities are investigating.

Augusta's O'Keefe Inducted into Univ. of Arkansas Hall of Honor
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Augusta University head men's golf coach Jack O'Keefe was inducted into the University of Arkansas Sports Hall of Honor, the Razorbacks announced on Thursday.
O'Keefe just completed his fourth season with the Augusta men's golf team and guided the Jaguars to their third straight NCAA Regional appearance after winning the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championship for the third consecutive season. He is also the Director of Golf at Augusta University.
A 2016 inductee into the Arkansas State Golf Association Hall of Fame, O'Keefe is the first University of Arkansas golfer to earn All-America honors four times (1989-93). He also earned a total of three all-conference honors during his collegiate career.
In 1991, O'Keefe became one of the last UA golfers to earn All-Southwest Conference honors and when the Hogs switched to the Southeastern Conference he picked up All-SEC Honors in 1992 and 1993. O'Keefe helped Arkansas to four top 10 NCAA Championship finishes in his career including finishing seventh (1989), tied for ninth (1991), eighth (1992) and seventh (1993). He ranks in the top 10 in school history with 13 top-10 individual finishes from 1990-93, including three individual titles at the 1991 and 1992 Colorado Fox-Acres Invitational and the 1993 Border Olympics. He helped lead Arkansas to 10 team tournament wins his final two years.
O'Keefe went on to a successful professional career on the Hooters, Australia, Nike and PGA Tours. He earned his PGA Tour Card in 1997 and competed in the 1996 U.S. Open while also being named the Rookie of the Year on the Australian Tour in 1994.
The 2017 UA class will be inducted during the Hall of Honor weekend, Sept. 7-9. Hall of Honor weekend includes a golf tournament at the Fayetteville Country Club and an induction banquet Friday evening at the Fayetteville Town Center. Inductees will also be recognized during half-time of Arkansas' football on-campus home opener against TCU at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Game time will be announced at a later date.

So our Charley Bird is officially 9-and-a-half-months old which means she's been out as long as she was in! That's a scary thought. She's crawling, pulling herself up onto things, has teeth and has started to say Mama – i'm beside myself. She's also drooling like a maniac and has been since she was just a few months old (my mom in law tells me The Captain was the same, haha). She goes through bibs like it's going out of fashion and i find them stuffed in pockets of jackets in the car console, my handbag, well, just about everywhere.
So when i had an opportunity to trial some Mamma and Nanna bibdanas on Charley, i jumped at the chance. Bibs-that-are-bandanas are definitely the baby accessory of the moment and they're a great way to add some street cred to an outfit for your poppet.
Mamma and Nanna have loads of bibdana choices and the best part is that they're a mere R40 each and you can buy them online – they make great gifts and are an excellent way to pep up an outfit without breaking the bank.
Here are some of Charley Bird's faves
Cute huh?

If you have suffered serious injuries on someone else's property, then you could be entitled to significant financial compensation for your losses. Slips, falls, dog bites, falling objects, assaults due to inadequate security – these are all common occurrences that leave countless victims suffering from debilitating injuries every year. The property owner or tenant may be legally responsible for your losses; and, if so, you owe it to yourself and your family to fight for the compensation that you deserve.
At Bottaro Law Firm, we regularly represent clients throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island who have been injured on private and public property. We have extensive experience with a wide variety of premises liability claims. When you come to us about your injury, we will conduct a thorough investigation; and, if you have a claim, we will pursue maximum compensation on your behalf with our relentless will to win.
Highly Respected by Fellow Attorneys
"I am pleased to endorse Attorney Bottaro. His experience in the field makes him an ideal representative for personal injury / medical malpractice victims. He is a highly respected professional in the community."

Car Accident Attorney
Common Types of Premises Liability Claims
Virtually any type of accident on someone else's property has the potential to give rise to a premises liability claim. There are a number of factors that go into determining your rights – including the reason why you were on the premises – and in any case, it is important to investigate quickly in order to avoid losing evidence that could be key to your claim for compensation. Some common situations where victims can often seek compensation include suffering injuries while:
- Retail or grocery shopping
- Visiting a professional office building
- Visiting a government building or other public property
- Walking on a sidewalk, parking lot, or alley
- Attending a house party
- Visiting private property for other purposes
Some of the most common types of premises-related injuries include those sustained as a result of (i) slips and falls, and (ii) dog bites.
Slip and Fall Injuries
As a general rule, property owners owe a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. The specifics of this duty can vary under differing circumstances; but, if you have slipped or fallen on someone else's property – regardless of the circumstances – it is extremely important that you speak with a premises liability attorney to understand your legal rights. Never assume that an accident was your fault, or that you won't be able to recover compensation for your slip or fall.
Our experienced legal team regularly handles slip and fall cases involving accidents on personal, business, and public property. We can help make sure that you don't settle for less than you deserve.
Dog Bite Injuries
Serious dog bites are more common than most people think, and they often leave victims struggling to cope with life-changing injuries. Massachusetts and Rhode Island both have dog bite laws that protect victims, in many cases (and in all cases in Massachusetts) imposing "strict liability" on the dog owner for a victim's medical bills and other losses. We regularly represent dog bite victims in both states, and we can seek a prompt, full financial recovery for your injuries.
Other Premises-Related Injuries
Of course, slips, falls, and dog bites are not the only incidents that can lead to premises liability claims. Other common types of claims include:
- Other animal-related injuries, such as when a dog lunges unexpectedly
- Assaults resulting from inadequate security
- Injuries resulting from inadequate lighting
- Falling objects causing injuries
- Negligent property design
- Building code and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) violations
Were You Injured on Public Property?
If you were injured on public property, including land or a building owned by the state or a local municipality, there are special laws that apply to your claim for compensation. These laws impose unique requirements – including a requirement to provide prompt notice of your intent to file a claim. If you do not provide this notice on time, the government may be entitled to deny payment of just compensation for your injuries.
In any event, the sooner you seek help, the sooner you will be able to recover the compensation that you deserve. We are available to assist you 24/7, and if necessary, we can take action immediately to make sure that you don't lose your right to compensation.

Premises Liability FAQs
Personal Injury Lawyer Mike Bottaro Answers Your Questions about Pursuing a Premises Liability Claim in Massachusetts or Rhode Island
1. Isn't it my own fault if I slipped and fell?
Not necessarily. In fact, there are numerous circumstances under which a property owner can be 100 percent to blame for a person's slip and fall. For example, consider a recently mopped floor at the grocery store. If the wet floor isn't property announced with caution signs, you could easily suffer injuries in a fall before you realize that the area is slippery and dangerous.
There are countless other examples as well. As we mentioned above, you should not make any assumptions about your claim until you speak with an experienced attorney. At The Bottaro Law Firm, LLC, we can provide a thorough case assessment to help you understand your legal rights.
2. Are premises liability claims covered by insurance?
Yes, premises liability claims are frequently covered by insurance. This includes claims arising on business premises (such as a store, hotel, or restaurant), as well as claims for accidents that occur at private residences. Homeowners' insurance policies typically cover a wide range of premises liability claims, and if you need to seek compensation for a fall or other accident at someone else's home, you will most likely be collecting payment from that person's insurance company.
3. If I fell at work, am I eligible to file a claim for workers' compensation?
Potentially, yes. If you are an employee (not an independent contractor), there is a good chance that your job-related injury will be covered by workers' compensation. Workers' compensation provides "no-fault" benefits for employees' injuries, which means that your employer (or its insurance company) must pay, regardless of whether it was to blame for your fall.
However, since workers' compensation benefits are limited, it will be important to determine whether you have a premises liability claim as well. If your employer leases the facility where you work, the property owner could be fully liable for your losses.
4. What are some examples of unsafe conditions that can make a property owner liable for a visitor's injuries?
Some of the most common unsafe property conditions that lead to serious injuries include things like:
- Cracked steps
- Improperly designed staircases
- Inadequate lighting
- Loose or missing railings
- Malfunctioning elevators and escalators
- Recently mopped and waxed floors
- Spills
- Worn or damaged flooring
If you aren't sure whether you have a claim (and most people aren't), you should schedule a free consultation with an experienced attorney.
5. What are some examples of "inadequate security"?
There is a special category of premises liability claims based upon "negligent" or "inadequate" security. Basically, if you were assaulted on someone else's property, you may be entitled to file a claim based upon the property owner's failure to take appropriate steps to protect you from harm. This is important, since a criminal case does not result in payment of just compensation to the victim, and criminals often don't have enough assets to cover their victims' losses.
Some common examples of negligent and inadequate security include:
- Deficient security policies and procedures
- Failure to control access to the premises
- Failure to hire appropriate security patrol
- Missing locks
- Inadequate fencing, lighting, or security cameras
6. Can I file a premises liability claim for an injury I suffered in my own apartment or condo building?
It is certainly a possibility. The question, as in all premises liability cases, will be who is responsible for the dangerous condition. If the property owner or property manager knew or should have known of the risk of injury, it may have had a legal duty to repair the problem (or at least warn of the danger) before it caused you harm.
7. What compensation is available to individuals who have suffered premises-related injuries?
If you have a premises liability claim, you may be entitled to financial compensation for many types of losses caused by the dangerous condition including:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Diminished future earning capacity
- Diminished quality of life
- Disability and permanent impairments
- Loss of companionship and loss of consortium
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement
One mistake that many accident victims make is settling too early, before they know the full extent of their physical, financial, and emotional harm. In order to seek maximum compensation for your losses, you will need to see an experienced physician and work with other experts who can calculate your total losses. At The Bottaro Law Firm, LLC, we have relationships with trusted professionals in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island who can make sure that you do not unknowingly settle for less than you deserve.

California Wine, Russian River Valley
About Seven Lions Vineyard and Winery
Offering small lots of handcrafted wines, Seven Lions Winery is continuing in the rarely seen Old World Style of Vinification. Unfined and Unfiltered, Seven Lions Wines grace the tables of world class collectors and only the finest restaurants and wine shops. Beginning with the exceptional vineyards in the Russian River valley and surrounding areas, these wines reflect the rich soils and climate of an area world famous for Pinot Noir and Old Vine Zinfandels. Harvested and sorted by hand into small bins, only the best grapes are chosen and used for fermentation. All through the crush, the wine is attended by hand for punch downs and gently walked upon by all of us in our wet suits...ensuring an even and successful fermentation. During, and well after the crush, the wine is kept chilled and sleeps in a specially prepared environment, concentrating the wines, which is a trademark trait of Seven Lions. Handled with care through the bottling and labeling process, it is hand packed and shipped only during specific times of the year, to protect it from heat and trauma, hopefully, arriving safely to your door. All in all, we pay close attention to the traditions that have guided us for a thousand years. The wisdom of this is evident with the experience of opening a bottle of Seven Lions Wine.
Seven Lions Winery Pinot
Blend of several different vineyards, this blend showcases the lush, rich decadent fruit of the Russian River Valley. Black cherry, berry, plum, exotic spice and vanilla, it is smooth from entry to finish.
Seven Lions Winery Zinfandel
This wine has a very unique character. Aromas and flavors of black truffles frambois, leading to vanilla and black cherry. Everlasting flavors, very decadent to the last drop.
Seven Lions Winery Chardonnay
Pale yellow in color this a very fragrant nose of lavendor, spring blossoms and melon. It explodes on your palate with mineral, mustard and apricots. An ever changing and mouth watering wine. If one was blindfolded and served this wine, they would say it's a French Burgundy.
Seven Lions Winery Merlot
Beautiful garnet color, lovely nose, raspberries, candied cherries, chocolate and vanilla spice. Fresh, clean snow, long and lush finish.
