ZIG-A-ZIG-AH: Sergio Rossi celebrated the Memphis art movement with the "Sergio Rossi Meets Memphis" special event, held Wednesday night at Milan's 10 Corso Como. The footwear label unveiled an installation juxtaposing shoes from the Sergio Rossi spring collection, which was inspired by the revolutionary Italian design movement founded in the Eighties, and some iconic pieces coming from the Memphis art gallery in Milan.
"The techniques used by Memphis, including the combination of graphics, bold colors and unusual materials creating innovative graphic patterns, gave me the chance to exalt the high-end artisanal aspect of Sergio Rossi shoes, making them real design objects," said the brand's creative director, Francesco Russo.
Some shoe styles will be sold exclusively at 10 Corso Como until Dec. 24.
The party also celebrated the partnership between Sergio Rossi and Attila & Co. The Milan-based communication agency founded by p.r. veteran Andreina Longhi has just started coordinating the brand's communication activities across Italy, Germany, Russia, France, U.K., China and the U.S.

Nothing wrong with the standard A1 or A2 stock. The A1 is slightly shorter. Just pick the one that fits you best.
an ACE Skeleton stock is another option - http://riflestocks.com/store/page3.html

I currently got this ugly thumb hole stock. Can I just put a A2 stock on without issue or do I need a buffer tube and stuff? Sorry if I sound dumb but that's becuase I am with the AR n AK platform at the moment. But give me time .
Thanks for the reply
Dog how does the metal feel on the cheek after a length of time shooting? My only experience is with the ugly thumb hole stock and have only put 20 rounds through the AR.

Error Code 9c48 when installing IE9 Update Win 7
I ran Windows Update and there is an update for IE 9, but when I try to install it I get error code 9c48. I have tried every fix on the net to repair this, but to no avail.

I don't care about the update as long as I have a working version of Internet Explorer on my machine. Please help! I also have attached the .txt document of the cbs/logs with the erros from the scannow command.

The past 2 to 3 times I have been to the range I have tried shooting two handed and single handed with both right and left. With every gun I try shooting single handed my speed and accuracy is usually affected. However I have noticed my accuracy is a little better when I shoot with my strong hand only over two handed when I am shooting my Sig 220. All other guns are better two handed. Of course time span between shots is longer, or I sacrafice alot of accuracy. But the group size in noticable smaller.
Anyone noticed this with any of their weapons?

12: Truth of Sequence
ōRelativity teaches us that simultaneity is an
-Dr. Joseph Carnahan, New Constellations
It had been about an hour since the locket had been destroyed. Harry was sitting on his bed, staring at the wall. There was nothing interesting about the wall, but his head was swimming and at least it didnÆt offer any further distractions. The traumas of the night were stacked on top of each other, and it was a small mercy that remembrance of a manÆs head disintegrating was temporarily blotted out by Locket-Ginny expressing what he feared was the truth.
æSmall mercyÆģ Who was he fooling? The more recent horror was far worse than yet another witnessed death in a long line of them.
The real Ginny was in the shower. Her ablutions were giving Harry time to think, the last thing he needed. And once she returned she would be determined to discuss what the locket had done. He didnÆt want to talk about it. He wanted to forget it ever happened. Confronting emotional problems was well outside his comfort zone. Too bad the locket had understood at least one avenue to his wounds.
A shadow fell across the doorway. ōAre you all right?ö Hermione asked tentatively, leaning in.
ōNo,ö Harry said honestly.
She sighed. ōWellģ thatÆs not good, but I still prefer forthrightness to your usual avoidance.ö
ōHow about you?ö
ōSame as always: stressed, anxious and storing up a nice pile of post-traumatic stress for when this is over,ö she said.
ōJust be glad you didnÆt go into the house with Scott,ö he said dryly.
She flinched slightly. ōYesģ I wondered if you werenÆt making a mistake.ö
Harry clung to the shreds of his stoicism. ōI have to get used to it sometime.ö
ōOh, Harry, I hope not, for your sake,ö she said sorrowfully.
He just wanted to change the subject. ōDid you need something?ö
She hesitated. ōģI thought you might be discouraged, seeing as that was the only Horcrux we had to destroy. I wanted to remind you that we arenÆt entirely without clues.ö
ōItÆs not much good to know what something is if we donÆt know where it is.ö
ōI have to disagree. In this case, knowing what may very well lead us to where.ö She stepped closer. ōScott told us there might be a Horcrux to the north. ThatÆs not very specific, but I would bet he could tell us more if we were closer. And you said you wanted to go to GodricÆs Hollow?ö
He did, and had for some time. HeÆd never seen the place that might have been his home, or his parentsÆ graves. ōI still do.ö
ōIÆm sure youÆve considered the danger. But IÆve found another reason to go.ö She was clearly excited by whatever she had to say. ōDid you ever read A History of Magic?ö
æReadÆ was a strong word. ōSort of.ö
She gave him a disapproving glance, but continued, ōBathilda Bagshot, the author, is still alive, and she lives in GodricÆs Hollow! WeÆre hunting for historical artefacts of magic, and I canÆt think of anyone more qualified on the subject.ö
Harry didnÆt allow himself to feel much hope, but Hermione was right. It could be a real breakthrough. ōWe have to try, anyway.ö
She beamed at him. ōExactly! WeÆll start planning soon.ö She turned to go, and then stopped. ōOh, and Harry?ö
ōDo talk to Ginny about what happened tonight. DonÆt let it fester.ö
ōAre you going to make Ron talk?ö Harry asked accusingly.
ōOf course!ö
ōThen I guess weÆre both buggered,ö he muttered.
Hermione left him and he returned to his contemplation of the wallpaper.
His mind wandered. The patterns on the wall became Ginny, scorning him, rejecting him. Like he had rejected her, and not just recently. He had ignored her for years. He had turned from her attentions without even knowing it. He was tormented by the idea that such unknowing (uncaring) disregard was worse than a conscious decision. It was as if she hadnÆt even been worth the finality of a proper rejection Ś he had strung her along instead, breaking the young heart she had placed in his careless hands. And he could never be bothered to see what he had been handed.
Perhaps what the locket had shown him was cruel, but just. HeÆd pushed her away without trying, and then at last drawn her close only to push again. How could she be blamed if she left? Even Ginny had to take a hint eventually. Even her stubbornness could only cushion her spirit so many times.
He shook his head so hard that stars burst into his vision. The thoughts were more than he could stomach; he fought against them, wiping his clammy palms on his trousers as if he could wipe away the very idea, and then without warning was ambushed by a memory:
The door splintered, broken by the inhuman force of the kick. It would have rebounded off the interior wall but Scott was in the way, shouldering through with shotgun raised. The Death Eater on the right barely had time to react. He swivelled in his chair, cards falling from his fingers. The gun barked, acute and deafening. As if an invisible hand had grasped the back of his robes and pulled, he was ripped from the chair, sending it tumbling when his legs caught on it. The robes over his chest shredded and caved inward, turning to dust and whirling scraps. Blood flew out of the gaping cavity where his lungs should have been.
He had not fully come to rest when the second Death Eater was shot in the head. This time the robes concealed little Ś his hood fell off with the impact and his head shattered like an egg. The tightly-grouped buckshot, each the size of a musket ball, hit at the corner of his right eye. His cheekbone caved in, flesh splitting away from his nose and forehead. When the leaden wad tore through his brain and smashed into the rear of his skull his head snapped back with such force that blood spattered across the ceiling.
Scott continued without hesitation. The limp corpse was thudding on the floor when he stepped forward and tugged the tablecloth off the end where it had been shunted, apparently in the way of the Death EaterÆs card playing.
ōGo out and stall the others for a second. They donÆt need to see this,ö Scott said.
And Harry did? He supposed he had volunteered.
The last sight before he stepped out was of Scott using the corner of the tablecloth to sweep brain and skull fragments from the wall.
He snapped out of it at the sound of GinnyÆs voice. ōY-yeah?ö he stammered. He realised his heart was racing.
ōWhatÆs wrong? What happened?ö She touched his forehead with one hand, still warm and damp from the shower. ōōYouÆre not getting sick, are you?ö
He laughed shortly. ōJust in the head, maybe.ö
Her mouth thinned. When she sat next to him he noticed with a start that she was wearing one of his old grey t-shirts. It hung down to her thighs before giving way to her long, slender legs. They were marred with scratches, a legacy of her insistent bravery.
She noticed his scrutiny and rolled her eyes sheepishly. ōI stole your shirt,ö she confessed. ōI didnÆt pack much in the way of pyjamas.ö
He was fine with that. Probably a little too fine. ōI donÆt mind, thatÆs how I usually sleep.ö
ōIn a shirt and knickers?ö she said impishly.
ōThe male equivalent,ö he said wryly.
Her countenance sobered. ōI know weÆre both tired, but I think we need to talk now, even if just for a bit.ö
He tried not to look overly reluctant, though he was sure he didnÆt pull it off.
ōWere you thinking about what the locket said to you?ö she asked.
ōNo, not when you came in,ö he said truthfully.
She gave him a doubtful look. ōReally. You looked upset.ö
He sighed and rubbed at his eyes. ōģI was thinking about the Death Eaters tonight.ö
She took his hand. ōDo you want to talk about that?ö
He could talk about getting psychically violated by a piece of VoldemortÆs soul or watching two men die in a terrible, if mercifully instant, fashion. What a choice. Why wasnÆt going to bed an option?
The silence stretched out between them as he endeavoured for an answer. GinnyÆs grip on his hand tightened until she finally burst out, ōCome on, Harry! I saw what you did, donÆt pretend it didnÆt bother you!ö
ōI know it wasnÆt really you, Gin.ö
ōOf course you do, Harry, you arenÆt completely daft! That doesnÆt mean it didnÆt hurt!ö She wrapped her arms around him and squeezed in some mixture of affection and frustration. ōI donÆt want you to torture yourself thinking any of that shite was true, and I know that if I leave you alone, you will.ö
ōI did try to push you away, though, I was a complete twat to youŚö
ōGood job,ö she snorted.
He had to concede the point. ōI guess IÆm not that convincing.ö
She didnÆt laugh. She pushed her hair back behind her ears and pressed her cheek to his shoulder. Then she wiggled her way around until she was straddling his lap, holding him as close as possible. ōIÆm going to hug you. It will make this easier,ö she said, her breath fanning against his neck.
That was foreboding enough to dampen his arousal. ōOkay. IÆm listening.ö
ōWhen I first met youģ it was like something out of all the books I loved,ö she said softly, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. ōYou were a hero, a legend. I couldnÆt believe you were there at the station, and then you were there at breakfastģö
ōI donÆt remember that well,ö Harry admitted. ōIt seems so long agoŚö
ōI know you donÆt remember, Harry. That was the problem. I was in awe. Ron was your friend and I thought maybe I could be, too; I might become more than just the little sister. Then you saved me in the Chamber. I thought I was in love after that.ö She sighed. ōSo I pined away in my dormitory like some ridiculous princess. I wrote bad poetry, some of which you heard, unfortunately. I lived for the moment when you would see me in the hall and think I was beautiful, or interesting, or anything other than a nonentity.ö
Harry had to interrupt, he couldnÆt stand it. ōYou were always beautiful and interesting.ö
ōNot enough for you to notice me. But itÆs not like I had anyone to blame but myself; I barely spoke to you at all. Did you know there was even a period when I hated Hermione? The two of you were so close, I thought it was her fault no one else had a chance.ö
ōWe were never like that!ö he objected.
ōI know, Harry! IÆm pouring my heart out here, can you stop interrupting!?ö
She took a deep breath. ōģLooking back, I should have known better. It wasnÆt the other girls I couldnÆt compete with; it was your life. I was heartsick when you asked Parvati to the Ball, and it was so much worse when I found out it could have been me, that it nearly had been. But then nothing came of it; she couldnÆt compete with the Triwizard Tournament either. I think that was when I started to come to my senses. I thought you wouldnÆt see me no matter what I tried. I even asked Hermione about it earlier that year, if I could ever have the slightest chance. She told me I had to be myself more, be less shy, because you would never notice how I was around you, and even if you did, you wouldnÆt understand why.ö
She was killing him; it was more than he could stand. He would do anything to take it back, to give her what she deserved. Everything the locket had said, everything he had been thinking before she had entered to the room, it was all true. He had been a monster long before he had got Sirius killed, long before Tom Riddle had possessed his mind. He really was The Boy Who Lived, the fucking Chosen One, marching down the road of destiny, heedless of the ants beneath his feet. Everyone around him was a casualty. He inflicted hurt without even having to try.
The anguish made him forget his previous apology. ōItÆs on me, all of it, you were always right in front of me and IÆm so fucking self-absorbedŚö
ōHarry!ö she yelped, tightening her arms until he couldnÆt breathe.
ōSorry,ö he wheezed.
ōģSo, I came out of my shell. I stopped hiding behind my hair, I made friends, boys noticed me. It felt good. I feltģ relieved to know I wasnÆt completely unattractive, that boys could like meŚö
ōUnattractive?ö he said incredulously. Was she serious? Was there no limit to the damage he had done? ōGinny, you are completely fucking gorgeous, you areŚö
She slapped a hand over his mouth. ōThank you, Harry, but youÆre my boyfriend and IÆm sitting on you wearing your shirt and a pair of knickers, so youÆre just a bit biased. But thank you.ö
ōI just hate that I ever made you feel that way,ö he said when she removed her hand.
ōYou never meant to. Anyway, you know most of the rest. I started dating. I liked the attention and found out snogging was fun, butģ I tried to convince myself I was over you. I tried to replace you even though IÆd never had you, and still no one else measured up. And for a short while I thought I should hate you. IÆd stopped chasing you and you were still in my head, this schoolgirl fantasy I couldnÆt get rid of. But by then I was your friend, too. I couldnÆt hate you. And when I started to get to know you as a person, it didnÆt ruin that want, it just got even worse, it was more real. But you were just out of reach. With Dean, I thought maybe I finally was, too.ö She pulled back and looked in his eyes. ōIt didnÆt work.ö
ōThank God,ö Harry said, caught in her gaze.
ōThat night after the game, when we kissed Ś I didnÆt plan it. I know you didnÆt, either, it just happened. And then we were together like we always had been.ö She laughed in disbelief. ōItÆs strange, isnÆt it? We barely even discussed it.ö
He remembered. That night had been full of heat and noise, the merriment almost overwhelming. HeÆd gone upstairs to escape the press and Ginny had followed. SheÆd congratulated him, he her, and then when silence had fallen between them it had been about the only thing Ś theyÆd been standing close. The pull had been magnetic; GinnyÆs hair had hung in wonderful tangles, her lips slightly parted, her skin flushed. She had smelled like the outdoor air and flowers. TheyÆd come together as if there were no other outcome.
Harry suspected LilaÆs interference, somehow.
ōWe did later. But right then we didnÆt need to. I thought,ö Harry said.
ōDonÆt start second guessing that kiss, it was perfect,ö Ginny ordered, unaware she was already too late. She slid her hands back and rubbed at the tension in his shoulders. ōDonÆt stress, Harry. I didnÆt tell you all that so you could beat yourself up about it.ö
She was too late for that, also. ōThenģ?ö
ōBecause you need to understand what a load of utter bollocks that locket-me was spewing!ö she said with an anger that didnÆt seem to have faded since the HorcruxÆs destruction.
ōOh, right. That,ö Harry said. GinnyÆs story had been wrenching enough for him to forget there was probably a point to it.
ōI want you, Harry. I always have, even when I tried so hard to ignore it,ö she said. ōIÆve never blamed you for the danger my family is in; we chose to fight back. I chose to be here with you, even when you didnÆt want me to. And itÆs not as if IÆm the only one supporting you! Everyone should if they arenÆt a load of evil wankers.ö
Harry was unable to absolve himself so easily. ōButŚö
She cut him off again. ōI donÆt want to hear it! We can fight about your guilt later. As for the other rubbish that thing said, and didģö
He remembered. The breasts he had been taunted with were currently pressed against him.
ōI canÆt believe it just lifted up my shirt like that, I was so angry. Good thing for that fog, I donÆt think anyone else sawģö She breathed hard through her nose, eyes flinty. ōI have never shared a bed or anything else with other boys. I dated two, neither of which got anything more than a snog and thatÆs all. That bloody locket took my face and my tits and made me out to be some sort of super slag!ö she raged.
ōNone of it seemed right,ö he reassured her. ōI never thought you were a slag, even when I saw you with Dean. I just wished you were mine.ö
He must have said the right thing Ś she melted back against him. ōI always have been, if you believe Scott about the æshapeÆ.ö
Harry didnÆt want Scott to intrude on them, even vicariously. ōAre you as tired as I am?ö
ōIÆm already half-asleep,ö she mumbled into his shoulder, going deliciously limp in his arms. ōI talked myself out.ö
He lay back, swinging his legs up on the bed and settling her beside him, where she immediately draped a warm arm over his torso. He opted to leave his trousers on, feeling it was safer that way, and he needed them to make his erection less obvious. Maybe he wouldnÆt be so self-conscious someday, but not that night.
ōģHarry?ö Ginny said sleepily.
ōMy tits are much nicer than that. Bloody locket didnÆt get anything right.ö
It was comforting to know the Horcrux hadnÆt taken that first away from them. ōI believe it.ö
Sophie waited until Kylie was fast asleep before she left the room. The girl had been suffering night terrors, panicked dreams that often kept her from slumber. Another human presence seemed to calm her. Hopefully her resumption of speaking was a sign of recovery.
Sophie had kept Kylie upstairs, well away from the Horcrux. She didnÆt know exactly what had happened in the kitchen but the locket had been a dark vortex in the shape once activated, and she had felt it being snuffed out. Whatever came next, she understood her own role in it. She had begun creating a mental plan for cleaning the house, as well as a few organisational rearrangements for defensive purposes. The singular point of ground floor entry made her job easier.
She disliked the dim the hallway she stepped out into, closing KylieÆs door behind her. She liked her dwellings brightly lit, spacious and well furnished. Her career had forced her to learn to live without any of those attributes but had not changed her preferences. She wrinkled her nose at the candle holders she passed. Candles could be romantic and atmospheric, but they were such low-lumen alternatives to what she considered conventional lighting.
The doors for the rooms of both pairs of Primes were closed. Harry and GinnyÆs was dark. A sliver of light emanated from the crack beneath Ron and HermioneÆs door, along with muffled voices. They must have had something to discuss, perhaps related to the Horcrux.
She descended the staircase with the intention of going to the kitchen and seeing if everything was still intact. She found Scott sitting on the landing between the first and second floor, beneath the disgusting, mummified elf heads mounted to their grimy plaques. From that position he had a clear line of sight to the front door, which is what she assumed he wanted, but his head was leaned back against the wall and his eyes were closed. He had his shotgun resting across his knees. She hesitated, debating whether or not to disturb him.
Her indecision was made irrelevant when he spoke, eyes still closed. ōIs Kylie asleep?ö
ōShe is,ö Sophie said. She walked down the last few steps and sat next to him. ōHow did it go?ö
ōItÆs dead. And melted to the table, if you can believe it. It was dangerously manipulative; not surprising, considering itÆs a reflection of its maker, but whatever damage it did is a concern. IÆm counting on the girls to take care of things. I know Ginny will, but I hope Hermione will talk to Ron.ö
ōDo you want me to talk to her? If it was a personal attack maybe she would be more comfortable speaking to another womanģö
ōHermione would actually be more comfortable talking to me. I mean, she wonÆt be comfortable with anyone, if the locket went where I think it did, but I think I could make her talk to me. We have an interesting dynamic.ö
Sophie had seen a little of that. ōI think itÆs great how well youÆve connected with her! She seems like the most difficult Prime.ö
Scott made a face. ōYes and no. She demands oversight but understands necessity.ö
Sophie nodded in silent agreement before remembering that his eyes were still closed. She looked down the dark hallways towards the door. ōDo we need to take shifts tonight?ö
ōHmm? Oh, no. No, I was just sitting down for a minute.ö
She studied him more closely. His wheat blond hair had grown out since she had last seen him, falling closer to his eyebrows and the tops of his ears. She traced the lines of his elegant, angular face with its strong chin, lean cheeks and straight-edged nose set above his wide, firm mouth. He had a raw-boned handsomeness, not soft and pretty but sharp and male. The low light nearly hid the stubble dotting his features. He smelled like gun oil, flannel and warm masculinity. She wanted to kiss him.
She shook herself and glanced away in silent embarrassment. That attraction had been present from the moment she had met him and had grown with time. But in that time she had also become his close friend and comrade (familiarity had not lessened the pull; it only added an emotional component). Sometimes she felt like they were gradually moving towards something more.
While she greatly enjoyed his physical appearance she was not blind to what was currently detracting from it. His skin had the wan pallor of fatigue and dark circles hung beneath his beautiful grey eyes.
ōScott, when was the last time you slept?ö she asked.
His response was slow in coming. ōģA few days. WeÆve been busy, and IÆve been watching that charm. Alsoģö
ōYes?ö she pressed.
ōThe shape has been distracting. I donÆt know, I should sleep, this is stupid. IÆm keyed up.ö
She sat up in alarm. ōYouÆve been taking combat stims?!ö she gasped. He had never relied on the debilitating enhancers before.
ōI was just using the expression! ItÆs a figure of speech!ö He looked at her with annoyance but she was just glad to see the alertness in his gaze.
She settled back against the wall. ōHow long were you planning on burning out?ö
ōI wasnÆt. I just couldnÆt sleep before, I didnÆt trust this house.ö
ōIÆm here now, you donÆt have to worry,ö she said gently.
He favoured her with a tired smile. ōI know. Thank you for coming.ö
She winked at him. ōI was ordered to.ö
ōAnd there are so many fringe benefits,ö he yawned, stretching in an exaggerated manner intended to highlight his musculature.
That was more true than she would ever admit. ōAnd the locale is so grand, too.ö
He grimaced, glancing up at the preserved heads. ōItÆs better than forward observation. Plumbing is always a plus.ö He sighed, taking in his surrounds with weary eyes. ōTalk to me, Sophie.ö
She placed her hands on her thighs and rocked back and forth idly, not sure what he wanted to hear. ōWe are talkingģö
ōHow are we doing?ö
He looked so worn out sitting there that it sent a deep ache of empathy through her. She couldnÆt help herself Ś she reached over and took his large calloused hand in both of hers, trying to impart comfort. Scott was not an especially tactile person. He didnÆt seem to have a very strong aversion to touch but rarely sought it out, which wasnÆt surprising considering his childhood. She had always taken it upon herself to bridge that gap with friendly gestures of affection. Her own vast family tree had given her a fondness for contact with those she held dear. And Scott, for all his singularity, had never pulled away.
Having Sophie at Grimmauld Place would ease his burden in more than a merely logistical fashion. With her, he was free to display weakness and doubt that he never would in front of his Primes.
ōDid the locket show you something?ö she said carefully.
ōIt tried. I donÆt think it was equipped to show our deepest fearsģ Few things can express something that abstract. But it knew how to get under HarryÆs skin.ö
ōWhat did it tell him?ö
ōI donÆt know. I just know how he looked afterwards.ö
ōI think youÆre doing great,ö she said, switching back to his original question. ōYou integrated for a whole year and now youÆre fighting back. You guys even just destroyed a Priority Object, thatÆs awesome!ö
ōItÆs a start. But the Primes canÆt maintain the pace, itÆs brutal. They arenÆt trained to handle a battle every night.ö He rubbed at his eyes and yawned again. ōI should talk to Lil.ö
ōYou should go to sleep,ö she retorted.
ōI guess.ö
She patted her lap. ōHere, lay down.ö
His eyebrows shot up and his gaze crawled towards the apex of her thighs. ōYouÆre inviting me toģ?ö
She blushed and brought her knees together, blocking access. ōNo!ö
ōSo I canÆt use you as a pillow?ö
ōYouģ But thatÆsģ Oh, ha ha, very funny,ö she said petulantly. ōThat is not what you meant.ö
He slumped over and dropped his head on her lap, going limp. ōAhhhhģ I always knew your thighs were the gates to heaven,ö he said sleepily.
ōShut up, Scott,ö she said fondly.
It hadnÆt taken very long for Lila to regret allowing Molly use of the phone. The problem was that she would have regretted it equally, if not more, had she denied the worried mother.
The result of MollyÆs high-decibel æconversationÆ with her daughter had been the predictable demand that Lila go and retrieve Ginny immediately. In response, Lila could have lied. She could have promised to try, or to bring up the subject with Harry. But the truth was more convenient, if also more damaging, as the truth often was. She had advised Molly that she was unable to bring Ginny back home. Molly had pressed for reasons; Lila had provided none. When Molly had declared that she would go and find Ginny herself, Lila had coolly informed her that could not be allowed (it was also impractical, due to ScottÆs tampering with the Fidelius).
Consequently, Molly was no longer speaking to her. Arthur seemed to understand the situation a bit better, but intellect alone could not overpower a fatherÆs fear. He had little to say to Lila as well.
That was disappointing on a personal level, if not particularly relevant to the mission. LilaÆs past few days had consisted of watching a family who didnÆt understand her presence and listening in when Order members arrived to speak with Bill and Arthur. She had little to report back to Scott; the Order was still scattered and trying to consolidate. The felling of the Ministry had stripped the resistance of its main avenues of information. No one seemed to know what was happening outside of the safehouses.
So she waited. And in such close quarters, without the distraction of a wedding, she had been forced to refuse questions instead of avoiding them. That made her presence increasingly inexplicable, and it was hurting her integration. Simply being ScottÆs sister who lived nearby no longer sufficed.
Even CharlieÆs interactions with her had been muted by wariness. He hadnÆt appeared to mind not knowing much about her before, perhaps looking forward to the opportunity to get to know her, but once it became clear that the rest of his family didnÆt know her either, he had found cause for concern. She sort of wished she hadnÆt used a gun during the escape from the wedding. The safety of the Weasleys had come before her secrets.
It was Bill who posed the greatest challenge. He had confronted her several times, frustrated by her refusal to level with him. It had not yet reached the point where he demanded that she leave. She was not a Secret Keeper and therefore no threat to the house if ejected (or so he thought), and perhaps her efforts to protect his family had made an impression on him despite his distrust.
She needed to change her approach. Full disclosure was not an option, and might never be. Answering select questions could buy her the time she needed to reaffirm her loyalty; the Order would recognise her worth in the field once they ventured out. She had no intention of being left behind, whatever the mission.
She stood at the side of Shell Cottage, watching the waves roll towards the shore. The charm which concealed the dwelling was a looming dome in the shape. It extended much further than she had expected. She wondered what might happen if she severed her own connection to the Fidelius. Would she become blind to her surroundings? Concealing what stood right in front of her would require magic to attack and impair her cognition. She should be able to resist.
The question would remain rhetorical Ś she needed the link. It might only be answered if she visited ScottÆs safehouse without invitation.
She sighed and crossed her arms beneath her substantial breasts, lifting them and taking the weight off her too-tight brassiere. The fitted garment was designed for combat, supporting her prodigious bust in situations of great motion and impact. It had shrunk in the wash, despite also being designed not to do that. Apparently magical laundering was different. She needed to try out her other bras to see if they fit better, and probably go shopping.
That had to be, of course, the way Bill found her: lifting her breasts with one arm while fiddling with the support straps with the other. His eyebrows shot upwards.
She dropped her hands and favoured him with a blasķ stare. ōMy bra shrunk. And yes, these are real, in case you were wondering.ö
ōNot as much as Charlie,ö he said humorously.
ōAlso, considering how often you men are adjusting your tackle, I think you can let me shift my boobs around without excessive comment.ö
ōEntirely fair,ö he graciously agreed.
She leaned back against the wall. ōWhat can I do for you?ö
He addressed her with directness. ōYou could answer some questions, for a change.ö
ōThatÆs a pretty big change,ö she said, unaffected.
His eyes darkened. ōLook, how long do you think you can keep this up? You lied to my mum for a year, but thatÆs over. None of us have any idea who you are. IÆm not even sure youÆre a witch.ö
ōIÆm Lila Kharan.ö
ōAnd who is that?ö
She considered her reply for a moment. ōScott KharanÆs sister. WeÆre a team.ö She glanced at Bill but he said nothing, looking impatient for more. ōWeÆre soldiers.ö
ōMercenaries?ö he said sceptically. ōWho hired you?ö
ōWe arenÆt mercs. I told you, weÆre soldiers,ö she said stiffly.
ōA sixteen-year-old and his slightly older sister. Just like all the other recruits,ö he said sarcastically. ōWhat are you? Twenty? Twenty-two?ö
She ignored his guesses. ōOur talents are suited to this mission.ö
ōAnd what mission would that be?ö
ōRiddle is not merely a local concern,ö she told him, choosing her words with extra care. ōOther parties are aware that Harry must be supported.ö
He took a step closer, eyes narrowing. ōThe American government?ö
If that was what he wanted to think then she saw no reason to disillusion him (for the time being). ōIÆm not at liberty to say.ö
He sighed. ōWell, youÆre going to have to tell me a little more than that.ö
ōIÆm here to protect your family and assist in mission planning and execution.ö
ōMission execution or person execution?ö he said pointedly.
ōWhatever may be required.ö
He stared at her, and then slowly nodded. ōThe thing isģ IÆm not in a position to turn away someone like you. The Order isnÆt, which IÆm sure youÆve noticed. And I know you were at Hogwarts with your brother, during the attack. So Dumbledore knew that, too.ö
ōScott attended with his consent,ö she said.
ōRight. So you explained yourself to him, but donÆt feel you owe us the same courtesy. I get it.ö
Lila was not impressed by the ploy. ōGood. IÆm glad you get it.ö
Bill laughed without amusement. ōI really donÆt know what to make of you. IÆll tell you one thing, though: if you betray my family, you wonÆt live long enough to collect whatever reward the Death Eaters have for you.ö
She rolled her eyes. ōSave your threats for the enemy. Or at least someone you can intimidate. Most men donÆt have prettier hair than me.ö
This time, he laughed genuinely. ōJust so we understand each other Ś itÆs customary! YouÆve killed enough Death Eaters that I doubt youÆre on the other side. I just wonder if youÆre on our side. Butģö His expression sobered. ōWe need all the help we can get. And Harry, even more.ö
ōWhat we do, we do to ease his path,ö she said quietly.
ōI understand if you donÆt trust me entirely, as well.ö
ōI do trust you. In time, perhaps with more. Not everything is mine to tell.ö
ōHarry seems to trust your brother,ö Bill said. ōI doubt he knows as little as me.ö
ōHarry is privileged. How often did Dumbledore confide in you?ö Lila asked pointedly.
ōYou arenÆt Dumbledore.ö
ōWe ran in the same circles. We had an understanding.ö
ōThat I believe,ö Bill stated. ōAnything else youÆd like to share?ö
She looked away. ōAsk me again later.ö
ōCount on it.ö He turned to go and then stopped. ōOh, one more thing Ś donÆt hurt my brother. He still fancies you, so at least do me a favour and let him down gently.ö
ōI havenÆt led him on.ö
ōI know, thatÆs why IÆm not angry.ö
ōHe hasnÆt pushed the issue. If he wants to be direct then so will I.ö Lila wasnÆt willing to simply reject Charlie outright. His attraction to her might still be of use, and it was fun, too.
ōIf itÆs all the same to you, then, IÆll keep trying to talk him out of it.ö
ōDo what you want,ö she said indifferently.
After he left she stared at the ground and wondered how long her minor admissions would suffice. She had briefly considered bringing up the topic of Fleur, but ultimately BillÆs new bride was more of an annoyance than a real concern. Lila and Fleur had clashed several times during the wedding preparations and Fleur had not forgotten it. She barely tried to hide her resentment of LilaÆs presence. Lila doubted that talking to Bill about it would have accomplished much, anyway.
She was also bored. She knew she needed to suppress the feeling if she was to advance into integration; it required many workaday things. So she did her best to stay occupied and waited for a call from Scott or a gathering of the Order to bring new challenges her way.
She supposed she could call Strauss. The other woman wouldnÆt be excessively busy tending to her similar directives and was always up for a chat. Strauss could natter away almost endlessly when invited to, and her family connections ensured she was always full of the latest news and gossip. Lila usually had to pry the best stuff out of her, though, or infer it. Strauss was too considerate and decorous to revel in anything malicious (she sometimes made an exception in regards to certain female members of the Consistorium staff Ś Lila suspected that Scott factored in).
Lila filed away the option for later. She needed to return to the interior of the cottage. However, going back inside might mean facing Molly again. It had to be done at some point. Eventually the frantic mother might understand things, though it might be too soon to hope for change. Lila could rebuild burned bridges but first the ashes had to cool.
She wished she had a better way to check on the twins. Getting to Diagon Alley was the easy part (not that apertures were ever easy). It was more difficult to return before her departure was noticed. She knew that if her method of travel was revealed, Molly would insist that it be used to retrieve Ginny, which would in turn lead to a plethora of facts that Lila had no desire to disclose. Explaining that not only was she unwilling to take Ginny through an aperture but literally unable would result in questions about the shape and Primes and a million other things that the Weasleys didnÆt need to know.
Lila desired to end her feud with Molly, not create an entirely new mess with unneeded revelations. Regrettably, any missions with the Order could end the same way if Lila was forced to use any of her more unusual abilities. That was a problem that would have to be faced when it arose; other problems had to be faced more immediately. She took pride in her reputation for not shirking confrontation. With that in mind, she strode into the cottage to being repairing her integration.
The small sitting room was where Molly spent most of her time. The Weasley matriarch alternated between knitting, sewing and staring with desperate worry at the family clock. Lila was not unsympathetic. But to end MollyÆs torment was to end the war, and the only way out was through. There had to be some part of her which knew that. She just stood to lose too much. Perhaps it would help if Lila reaffirmed her dedication to preventing such loss.
Molly did not look up from her knitting when Lila seated herself in a nearby rocking chair. Her face was drawn and the stiff movements of her hands were a far cry from her usual skill. She tore at the yarn, fraying it.
ōWe need to talk,ö Lila said evenly.
MollyÆs reply was terse. ōI donÆt think we have anything to talk about.ö
Lila went ahead and rolled her eyes; Molly wasnÆt looking at her, anyway. ōThatÆs obviously not true.ö
ōI tried talking to you before and you wouldnÆt listen, I donÆt see the point now.ö
ōI did listen. You were being unreasonable.ö
MollyÆs knitting needles clacked together loudly. ōæUnreasonableÆ?ö she bit out. ōIt was unreasonable to ask you to bring my daughter home? It was unreasonable to think a sixteen-year -ld shouldnÆt be out on her own, fighting Dark wizards?ö
ōUnder these particular circumstances, yes.ö
ōI donÆt care!ö Molly snapped. ōYouÆve done nothing but lie to me and then refused to lift a finger when I needed your help! I donÆt even know who you are.ö
ōYou do know me. IÆm Lila.ö
ōNo, I donÆt think I do. So please, leave me be.ö
ōNo?!ö Molly nearly shouted.
ōNot until we settle this.ö
ōUnless you can produce Ginny, I canÆt imagine that happening.ö
ōScott is protecting her,ö Lila reminded.
ōScott?ö Molly said incredulously. ōYour younger brother? Are you trying to reassure me?ö
ōHe has the same training I do,ö Lila told her, omitting the fact that he had significantly more.
Molly waved her hand, as if brushing away Scott as a topic worthy of discourse. ōI can barely accept that Dumbledore left this task, whatever it may be, in the hands of children, my children, I surely donÆt pretend to know what the man was thinking,ö she said in an angry, rapid cadence. ōI know that Harry will look out for Ginny and they think theyÆre in love, but if I have no choice with Ron and Harry and Hermione Ś if I ever have, with all the trouble they get into Ś then at least theyÆre of age!ö
ōGinny chose to accompany them.ö
ōThatÆs not a choice she can make! I am her mother and I want her here!ö Molly said with an edge of hysteria. ōThe only reason I havenÆt gone to get her myself is because I donÆt know where she is!ö
ōNeither do I,ö Lila said. Technically, it was true.
ōStop lying to me!ö Molly demanded. ōYou rang your brother on that Muggle wireless!ö
ōItÆs just a number. It could connect to anywhere.ö
ōThen you talk to Scott and tell him to tell you.ö
ōThat wonÆt help you. I wonÆt be a Secret Keeper.ö
ōThen he can tell me!ö
ōI donÆt think he will. They have reasons for remaining isolated.ö
ōThen we have nothing to discuss,ö Molly hissed, and resumed her knitting.
Lila wondered if her own reserve was creating a barrier. It could be maddening if one participating party in an argument never lost composure. Her lack of emotion might be reinforcing MollyÆs perception that Lila was uncaring, without pity.
Lila didnÆt have to act. She just had to loosen her rigid self-control and allow her body to reflect her emotions. ōWe have a lot to discuss,ö she said, hearing her voice roughen with temper and feeling the blood rush to her cheeks. ōI have done my best to protect this family and I know IÆm not perfect, but I donÆt deserve to be treated like this just because I wonÆt give in to your whims!ö
Molly was taken aback. Lila rarely displayed any real anger, and had never raised her voice to Molly before. ōProtecting my daughter is not a whim!ö
ōIt is when you should have already realised itÆs not going to happen! Ginny is with Harry and they have a job to do, and I canÆt fucking change that!ö Lila said forcefully.
Molly gasped. ōLila Kharan! I ought to jinx your mouth shut!ö
Lila actually felt slightly ashamed. ōģIÆm sorry. But stop blaming me for things that are beyond my control. You didnÆt think it was coincidence that Dumbledore left something to Ginny, did you?ö
Molly looked away, a hand fluttering to her mouth. ōI didnÆt want to think heÆd be so callous.ö
ōHe was what he needed to be to finish this.ö Not enough of what he needed to be, in LilaÆs opinion.
ōTheyÆre just childrenģö Molly said again, almost to herself. ōWhy must it be them?ö
They trod near truths, now, stepping too close to the shape. Lila had no wish to speak in actualities, so she generalised. ōIt always has been. Harry is at the centre of this and his friends wonÆt leave him.ö
ōAnd he wonÆt come to the adults for help?ö Molly smiled bitterly and wiped at her eyes. ōHe canÆt be blamed, I suppose. WeÆve never been there when he most needed us. The Tournament, the Ministryģ The way the Prophet treated him, those awful Dursleysģö she said the name like an epithet.
ōItÆs difficult to trust authority when your family failed you like that,ö Lila said.
ōWe are his family,ö Molly said sharply. ōThe only one he has.ö
That was encouraging. ōIÆm glad this hasnÆt turned you against him.
ōNever!ö Molly seemed shocked by the idea. ōōI donÆt always agree, but he does what he thinks is right. He always has.ö
Lila leaned back in her chair and smoothed her features once more. ōThis will all be over someday.ö
Molly looked at the family clock, its hands illustrating how grim things really were. ōYouÆll forgive this mother for worrying about what happens before then,ö she said quaveringly.
ōWhatever it may be, IÆll be here.ö
ōI know, dear. Perhaps soon youÆll tell me why.ö Molly took a deep breath and set her knitting aside. ōWhat shall we make for dinner?ö
AuthorÆs Note
Discussing Ginnyģ
I received some constructive criticism recently from a reviewer who felt that Ginny was, ænot herselfÆ. And that raised a question: not herself in comparison to what?
Reading pre-book five fanfiction is always an interesting experience because the Ginny of those stories is utterly different from the one IÆve presented. SheÆs shy and blushes around Harry, rarely speaks up and is somewhat clumsy. The following books gave us a radically different version of her under the excuse that she was being more of herself. IÆd consider that somewhat sloppy characterisation, but the fact is JKR never gave us enough of Ginny previously for that to be true. You canÆt have an inconsistent character if theyÆre barely a character at all. And the ageing process was probably excuse enough. Plus, IÆve always liked the implication that only Hermione ever knew the real Ginny, and that limiting the reader to HarryÆs POV left us without much in the way of insight into tertiary characters. I disagree (obviously) with that approach on a literary level, but IÆve always found a single POV to be horribly limiting.
The fact is, Ginny probably spoke more words in this chapter than she did in all the Harry Potter books combined. That leaves me looking for somewhere to fit her the way IÆve fit everyone else, but fitting someone you donÆt really understand is difficult (and then thereÆs my general objection to characters having specialised purposes, as if everyone needs one specific role and they only exist to fulfil a narrative requirement Ś thatÆs an entire other authorÆs note).
The reviewer didnÆt care for Ginny being primarily HarryÆs handler, which is a rather insightful criticism because thatÆs probably why Scott brought her along in the first place. It was suggested that Ginny learn to become a Healer. IÆve seen a lot of that in fanfiction, Healer Ginny, and I know it doesnÆt have a basis in the books unless you count her ability with Charms. I think Ginny as a Healer came about because someone did it first and everyone else liked it, because it gives her a role that no one else fills. It delineates her in a way the books donÆt.
IÆm not really looking for something that simple because people arenÆt that simple. What Ginny is to the other members of the cast may not mean much to the reader, but thatÆs what she is. IÆm trying to think of a way to phrase in a manner not quite so inelegantģ What I want to say is, IÆm not interested in adding character traits for the purpose of making Ginny more interesting, when the story still has so much use for her. I get a little cranky when people tell me that she doesnÆt seem indispensable to events, or that sheÆs not adding enough to the crew (see my side thoughts above about characters as nothing but narrative requirements). What should I do, just disappear her like Rowling did? No one is indispensable but Harry.
Ginny is fighting Death Eaters, sheÆs HarryÆs girlfriend, and she has some other talents like mimicry, Charms and Quidditch that havenÆt really come up yet. I know some people can be disappointed that she hasnÆt done anything amazing yet, but who has, besides Harry? I think my regular readers know that IÆm perfectly willing to sacrifice any and all narrative conceits in the pursuit of logical character behaviour (even if that behaviour is illogical, as we often are).
IÆm not saying Ginny isnÆt something special. IÆm not saying I donÆt have anything for her to do. All IÆm saying is that I wonÆt sacrifice internal consistency to max her stats.
Well, this was some petulant bullshit of an authorÆs note, huh? Please try to review the chapter and not my extended whining as I cringe in a corner, clutching my notes to my chest and blubbering in defence of my version of Ginny. SheÆs really good, guys! I know what IÆm doing, guys! Come on, IÆm a good writer, leave me alone, leave me alooooooonnneeeeeee!!

In an undersea laboratory, three villains see a ship passing by. Salamandro, the ringleader of the trio, sends his henchmen to the ship to steal the gold bullion it's carrying. The men enter the transportation machine that their boss has invented, and, seconds later, materialize on the ship's deck. There, they paralyze the captain and his first mate. Then they go down to the vault, freeze the guard and remove the gold. One of them sends a signal to Salamandro to let him know that they have the loot. He brings them back, and he gloats over the successful theft.
Sometime later, Samson and Goliath are on a ship carrying a crateload of paintings. The captain expresses concern that the art will be stolen. The heroes go into the vault via a funnel, and hide themselves in the crate that holds the paintings. Salamandro sees the ship go by, and sends his goons directly to the vaults so that they won't be seen by anyone. They find the crate and send another signal. When they open the crate, they are surprised to find Samson and Goliath inside. When the duo transform, the henchmen try to paralyze them, but Goliath melts their guns with his power beams. Salamandro traps the pair inside a steel trap, but Goliath uses his roar to break them out. Noticing that their enemies are gone, Samson and Goliath head for an iron door, but are momentarily stopped by the electro rays that appear on it. Samson lifts the door without touching the rays, and he and Goliath enter the next room. Salamandro is there, but he's behind a glass shield that the heroes can't penetrate. He explains that it's eight feet thick. Then another glass shield appears behind them, and a deadly mist is pumped in. Samson and Goliath escape by crashing through the ceiling. One of the accomplices fires a ray through a hole in the wall, and successfully immobilizes Goliath.

Everett Adams celebrates 100th birthday
Everett Adams celebrated his 100th birthday on April 10, 2011, at a dinner party in Palo Cedro hosted by Scott and Denise Kerbs.
Adams was born in Holister, and was a physician. One of the most interesting things he has done was to deliver a premature baby in the backwoods of Georgia in 1940. He made an incubator out of a wooden box and a light bulb. That was one of the many home deliveries where he had to use what was on hand.
He moved to Shasta County in January 2006.
He has two daughters, Patricia Kerbs of Redding and the late Leah Adams. He has two grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren.

There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
My labor guide says it takes 3 hour to replace the right manifold and 2 hours to remove and replace the left manifold and gaskets. Use plenty of liquid wrench and be careful not to break and tight hardware.

Gatwick Airport Community Trust
Gatwick Airport Community Trust is an independent charity set up by the legally-binding agreement between West Sussex County Council, Crawley Borough Council and Gatwick Airport.
The Trust ensures that as the airport continues to grow, funding should be ploughed back in to the local communities most affected by the airport and its operations.
As part of our legal commitment with our local authorities, we make an annual donation to the Gatwick Airport Community Trust, and local community groups and charities are able to apply to the Trust for grants for specific projects. The Trust also receives money raised through noise fines set by the UK Government on those aircraft that infringe any noise limits at Gatwick Airport.
For 2014 Gatwick has awarded £175,774 to the Trust which awarded grants to 151 charities and community groups in the area including Crawley United Reformed Church, Crawley Sea and Marine Cadets and Horley Town Council.
Local charity Home-Start Crawley, Horsham and Mid-Sussex (CHAMS) has been awarded significant funding by Gatwick Airport Community Trust. The final payment of £10,000 per year for three years was awarded this year and will support the work that Home-Start CHAMS carries out with vulnerable families in need. It will enable them to recruit and train volunteers who visit the families in their own homes, as well as developing their fund raising work, following the recent recruitment of a new Fundraising Manager.

Exclusive! Charlize Theron On Exes, Old Loves & Girl Crushes
Charlize Theron is talking about love. The question actually revolves around exes —should you ever look up an ex, or will that lead to a big old ex-mess?
Over tea at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York City, 36-year-old Theron laughs and shakes her head. She's miles of long legs in person, which are wrapped in black tights. She wears a tight black skirt and a gorgeous white cashmere sweater. Her hair is glossy blonde and just graces her chin.
An edgy Grace Kelly comes to mind. But this princess is prince-less these days.
"I don't know if it's a good or bad thing to call up an old love. I've never done it. I certainly wouldn't do it if they were married with a newborn baby," Charlize says.
That's what her character, Mavis Gary, an author of young adult novels, does in the new movie, Young Adult. Theron plays a semi-famous author who is divorced and living alone in the big city. She decides to hightail it back to her hometown in Minnesota and reclaim her high school boyfriend. The rub is that he's happily married with a new baby. 'Young Adult:' Do You Ever Still Think About Your First Love?
It's a role that Theron loves and one that just earned her a Golden Globe nomination this morning (surely, an Oscar nod will follow). Who will she bring to the award shows? Theron is single these days after breaking off an engagement with former boyfriend, Stuart Townsend. However, she seems more than happy to discuss her views on love and old flames with us:
Let's talk love. Do you remember your first crush? Did he crush back on you?
In high school, I wasn't popular. I was obsessed with ballet and wore nerdy glasses. I was as blind as blind could be. Meanwhile, I had a massive crush on this guy. In fact, a journalist from Vogue recently interviewed me and found this guy. He told the reporter, "Yeah, the crush was mutual."
Was it mutual?
It was so not mutual! He even said, "What I remember is she wore these thick glasses!"
You try to steal someone's hubby in Young Adult. What are your views on this situation where you're clearly "The Bad Girl"?
We come from a society where everyone is still comfortable to label women as either the Madonna or the whore. We're either really good hookers or we're really good mothers. But we're nothing in-between. I'm not a fan of labels. I think it's very easy to look at someone and just throw a label on them. They're a bitch or they're crazy. I think that's a cop out. Charlize Theron: Single For The First Time Since Age 19!

Rapid Reaction: Yankees 8, Rangers 2
August, 13, 2012
By Mike Mazzeo / ESPNNY.com
NEW YORK -- The Texas Rangers opened their four-game series at Yankee Stadium with an 8-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Monday night.
What it means: Like so many pitchers before him, Ryan Dempster is having an extremely difficult time making the transition from the National League to the American League. The Rangers' prized trade-deadline acquisition was tagged for eight runs (all earned) on nine hits in six innings. In three starts with Texas, the 35-year-old right-hander is 1-1 with an 8.31 ERA (16 earned runs in 17 1/3 innings).
Throttled in the third: During a 31-pitch third inning in which he faced 10 hitters, Dempster allowed five runs on five hits and walked two. The big blow during the frame came off the bat of Nick Swisher, who pulverized a 1-0 fastball into the second deck in right with one out for his sixth career grand slam -- and 200th career homer -- to put the Yankees ahead 4-2.
Consider: Dempster had given up six runs only once in 16 starts with the Chicago Cubs this season (2.25 ERA). He's already done so twice with Texas (also eight earned runs in 4 2/3 innings in his Rangers debut Aug. 2 versus the Angels).
Elias says: Dempster has given up 10 career grand slams, one shy of tying Kenny Rogers for the all-time record. Nolan Ryan and Mike Jackson also have given up 10.
Can't beat 'em: Dempster is 0-4 in five career starts against the Yankees with a 7.62 ERA (24 earned runs in 28 1/3 innings).
And so it continues: Josh Hamilton extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a bloop single down the left-field line in the eighth.
Murph Dog: David Murphy, the team's leading hitter since the All-Star break, slugged his first homer since July 27 -- and 10th of the season -- leading off the second. He also doubled in the fourth.
King of the diamond: Elvis Andrus went 2-for-4 with a run scored Monday night and is hitting .400 (20-for-50) in his past 11 games.
Baserunning blunders: David Phelps picked off Ian Kinsler at first in the second and Andrus at second in the third.
Cruuuuz: Nelson Cruz had two hits and an RBI to extend his hitting streak to a season-high eight games.
Up next: LHP Matt Harrison (13-6, 3.31 ERA) looks to get the Rangers back on track against Yankees RHP Hiroki Kuroda on Tuesday night in the Bronx.

The Guarantee that's better in three beautiful ways.
It's our purpose… and passion… to only offer engagement diamonds that we hand-select for beauty, quality and life-long security. We trust our eyes, and so can you. That's why we offer our 110% guarantee. The guarantee that's better in three beautiful ways.
110% Lifetime
Diamond Warranty
Your engagement diamond will last as long as your love, and so will our support. We put it in writing: we call it our 110% Lifetime Diamond Warranty.
A lifetime of loving your engagement diamond. We're all committed to that. We are so confident in our engagement diamond's quality that we will replace it for up to 110% of the original purchase price, for a lifetime.
110% Diamond Trade-Up
As your marriage grows, Robbins Brothers will grow right alongside you. In fact, we'll honor 110% of the purchase price of your engagement diamond for a trade-up should you want to honor an anniversary, celebrate a momentous occasion or maybe just because you deserve it. We're here for you now, and in the future.
110% Diamond Sparkle Guarantee
Our engagement diamonds shine and sparkle brighter. Just like your love…
At Robbins Brothers we take great care and pride in hand selecting our engagement diamonds for visual beauty. We have the utmost confidence in the beauty and quality of every engagement diamond we offer.
If within 30 days of your purchase, you find a more beautiful diamond with the same specifications at a lower price anywhere in the USA, bring the diamonds to Robbins Brothers. We will then send both diamonds to our corporate office to be graded for the three attributes of light performance: brilliance, sparkle and intensity.
We know you don't want to be separated from your diamond, but it's the best way possible to provide an objective measurement for comparison. If your diamond scores higher, we will refund the Robbins Brothers engagement diamond or you can keep the Robbins Brothers engagement diamond and we will refund 110% of the difference between the purchase price of the two diamonds.

Senior Advisory: Honing in on the needs of island seniors
Continuing to refine their goals and determine how best to serve its constituency on island, members of the Senior Advisory Committee (SAC) picked up the threads of earlier discussions at its Feb. 18 meeting.
Most members knew of a number of island seniors needing assistance of one kind or another, but who were reticent about conveying their needs. SAC member Dottie Graham said, "There are at least 15 people I know of" who could benefit from some assistance. The group brainstormed ways to reach out to people without being intrusive.
Member Linda Spak felt there had been a few unsuccessful attempts to call the attention of the Block Island Health Services to this situation. "There is a role for the medical center to play — especially in the area of communication," she said. She mentioned that many people were often not aware of what was available within the community both at the medical center and from SAC.
She cited weekly blood pressure readings at the medical center as an example of what some in the community may be unaware of. Spak hoped in the future the medical center might offer programs like skin cancer clinics and weight loss sessions.
Spak thought there was a need to make patients/island residents aware of what the center offered and also that SAC was available to augment medical care. It was important to assist people in many different ways, she noted — providing transportation to and from the center and other destinations, providing meals and assistance at home and helping people get out into the community.
To communicate these concerns and discuss ways the two groups might collaborate, the committee planned to send two members — Spak and Suzie Wright — to attend the next meeting of the BIHS board.
Co-Chair Gail Pierce said she'd received correspondence from the Block Island Haiti Team, which had offered "free labor to people in financial need" for small projects such as creating "handicapped bathroom accessibility, [laying] carpeting for one or two rooms, [trimming] hedges, [cleaning] out garages or basements, bicycle repair" and the like. Pierce said she would contact Socha Cohen to learn more.
Materials on an emergency notification program had been gathered by a subcommittee led by Co-Chair Sandra Kelly, Pierce said, and a letter was ready to send to the Town Council. Reached after the meeting, Pierce said the letter had been submitted in an attempt to get a place on the Town Council agenda for March to discuss the matter.
Search still on for Senior Coordinator
With the Senior Coordinator post still unfilled, Pierce and the group discussed ways to alter the job description, one of which was to reduce it to a 10-hour a week position. Pierce suggested that it be focused more on advocacy issues than on social ones, though still include some of these — with the committee also picking up many of the latter. She indicated the position was still being advertised.
Pierce also noted that at a past meeting Bill Wilson (a former member of SAC) had suggested the town "really needed a social worker for senior concerns." With the growth of the senior population on island as around the country, other municipalities have chosen to fill such a post. Committee members agreed that there were enough issues related to the well-being of elders within the community to warrant such a position here. However, until the Town Council approved it, as Spak pointed out, the responsibility for island seniors remained with SAC and a coordinator.
More on U3A
Invited back to follow-up on her previous introduction to a program known as University of the Third Age (U3A), Elspeth Crawford elaborated for the committee. She pointed out that U3A was an international movement with many groups around the world including in the United Kingdom, other parts of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and some other countries as well.
She explained that though U3A was originally meant for retirees, it had become available to those of any age "outside of school or college" wishing to join in. Crawford noted that U3A was not just another group but rather worked as an umbrella network, under which groups devoted to intellectual, cultural, creative, physical and leisure activities might be listed and others developed.
Essentially, U3A would incorporate those groups already in existence and offer assistance to those wishing to form new groups. Members of SAC were supportive of Crawford's efforts to establish a U3A on the island, with Pierce and Kelly joining the steering committee.
Pierce reminded the group that Robin Lewis was offering chair aerobics on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m.
The next meeting is scheduled for April 15 at 9:30 a.m.

This is my first ever hotrod. It is driven by 1 L motor geared down to a differential, it is also geared up 20/12 for the V14 piston engine, so it goes a bit faster than the actual wheels. It is steered by a servo motor and powered by a rechargeable battery box and V2 receiver. It has full independent suspension. It has an opening trunk and tail-lights. I decided to make this for my 25th creation on this gallery and I wanted to see how big of a piston engine I could fit. I also wanted to see if it would be possible to reach 3 miles an hour in such a large vehicle, which it did. Overall it weighs just 2 pounds and took roughly 4 hours to build.

Hubby's quilt top is finished. It looks pretty much like the EQ6 drawing so I'm pleased. I can't finish it, though, until the backing fabric arrives.
HappyParty has written 5 entries about this goal
This is the last one I worked on today. It's traditional patchwork, but I really like the modern feel this one has.
This one should be fun to work on!
I designed some more quilts today in EQ6. These a quilts I hope to work on after I finish my husband's.
EQ6 isn't that hard! I designed and colored this quilt for my husband. I've already purchased the fabrics, and I'm ready to start cutting! I just hope my fabrics closely-enough emulate my EQ6 coloring (you'd think it'd be easy, but it's not!).

The Boggs-Doniphan Gentile (Non-Mormon) of the Year award honors the non-Mormon who had the greatest impact on Mormonism, for good or ill, during the year. (See that other blog for Mormon of the Year.) The previous winners are John Turner, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, Judge Vaughn Walker, Stephen Colbert, and Mike Huckabee. There's no need for nominations and voting this year. This happened:
Judge Robert Shelby: 2013 Boggs-Doniphan Gentile (Non-Mormon) of the Year
Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez: The 2011 Boggs-Doniphan Gentiles of the Year!
Today, I come not to bury the Book of Mormon Musical creators Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, but to announce that they have been named the 2011 Boggs-Doniphan Gentiles of the Year. To the extent that an award half-named for the man who tried to have us all killed, and half-named for a valued ally, can be considered an honor, I say to them: Congratulations!
So the question of the hour must be, is this year's award a Boggs, or a Doniphan?
[Read more…]
Voting: Boggs-Doniphan Gentile of the Year Award 2011
