Lily Evans, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor read from his parchment. Lily looked up in surprise and he asked, Do you have the homework done?
She looked at him blankly. There was homework? She realised too late that she said the wrong thing as his expression darkened as the rest of the class sniggered. She blushed.
Yes there was homework, he thundered, slamming his hands on his desk. Why did you not do it?
She said fearfully, I didnt remember, Im really sorry, Professor! Ill hand it in tonight! Im sorry. She tugged on the ends of her hair, looking up at him sorrowfully. She really did forget as shed been focusing on Potions.
He shook his head. Detention tonight. Do the homework at a different time. I expect it to be handed in on Monday.
Lilys eyes filled with tears. Shed never gotten detention before. Mary whispered, Its okay. Hes just being a grump. She put a hand around her shoulders as Professor Iratus collected everyone elses work.
James Potter, he said. James looked up and handed in a piece of parchment looking far too pleased with himself.
Here you go, Sir, he said brightly. He started to make his way back to his seat next to his friends when the professor coughed loudly.
Potter, he said gruffly, what is this? He showed a picture of two people duelling with red sparks and captions surrounding it.
That, Professor Iratus, James said, sounding extremely smug, is my homework. I learn better visually, yknow?
The beefy neck of the professor started to turn red. Lily giggled in spite of herself and James looked at him expectantly. This is not what I asked for, he grunted.
Ah, James said, grinning. You actually never specified what type of homework you wanted. If you look at my parchment youll see that I have all the correct information.
The professors eye twitched. He slammed the parchment on the table and said, Detention Potter. You didnt do as I asked. Lily and James both let out noises of indignation. Lily did not want to spend time with James and James had had a detention the previous night. Quiet, he barked. Stay back after class and Ill give you the details of the detention.
James walked back to his seat, his head hanging slightly. Lily was even more upset. The last thing in the world is to have a detention with him, she complained to Mary.
Mary rolled her eyes. Lily was rather dramatic. Hell probably put you guys in a separate room anyway, Mary tried to reassure her friend. I wouldnt worry about it.
Lily nodded and then returned her attention to the professor. He finally collected everyones homework and started to talk about the theory behind the Tongue-Tying Curse. Lily dutifully wrote notes and at the end of the lesson she waited back with James. She wasnt happy about it but she knew shed be in more trouble if she left.
Alright, Iratus said gruffly, youll be in the Trophy Room. The new caretaker, whatshisname, he muttered, scratching at his bald head.
Mr Filch, Lily supplied helpfully. James resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Thats it. Mr Filch wants the trophies clean. Hell supply you with the products and absolutely no magic. Dont bring your wands, he ordered, coughing. Lily nodded and he said, Clear on tonight?
Crystal, James said a little bitterly. The professor dismissed them and they walked out, not talking. Well, Ill see you tonight, Evans, James said once they reached the common room.
She huffed and walked up to the girls dorm, wanting to have a small nap before dinner.
Lily! a voice called out. She turned around and saw Severus rushing towards her, his cloak billowing out behind him.
Sev! she said, grateful for any excuse to put off going to detention.
Hey, he said, where are you going? he asked reproachfully. He stepped out of the way as people pushed past him.
Ive detention. I forgot to do my Defence homework, she explained with a grimace.
Severus looked down at his feet. Oh. I thought we were going to study for Charms? he said in a small voice.
Lily clapped a hand to her mouth. Oh goodness! I completely forgot, Im so sorry! Well have to do it another day, Im sorry, Sev! she said, looking apologetic. Trust me, Id much rather study for Charms than be stuck in detention with Potter. But Ive got to go now, Ill see you around?
At the mention of James, Severus face darkened. He nodded, a little sourly, and bade her goodnight. She made her way to the Trophy Room, scowling at the prospect of spending all night with Potter.
Youre nearly late, a voice said from behind her. She jumped and saw James leaning against the doorway with a smug smirk. Where were you?
None of your business, she shot at him. He rolled his eyes but before he could say anything, the new caretaker arrived with two buckets and two sponges.
He told them that he would check on them every hour until all the trophies in the room were cleaned. Lily and James both stared at him incredulously but he left before they could argue about it, cackling.
Git, James muttered, rolling his sleeves up. Lily privately agreed. So should I do this half and you do that half? he asked.
Lily nodded. Sure. Ill just go over there then. She blushed and he looked at her oddly but scurried away before he could comment on it. She could feel his stare on the back of her neck so she rolled her own sleeves up before plunging the sponge in the soapy water.
The two worked in silence for a long time, not even speaking when Filch checked on them. After a while, James got sick of the silence. So, Evans. What are you doing for Christmas? he asked conversationally.
Lily resisted the urge to make a biting remark. It wouldnt be good to be rude to a person that would be stuck in the same room as her for a long time. Going home, most likely. What about you? she said, scrubbing the finger marks off of a Quidditch trophy.
James shrugged. Dunno yet, Mum and Dad will probably want me to stay here. Theyre heavily involved with fighting against Voldemort and Lily nearly dropped the trophy she was holding and let out a squeak. James turned around and asked, Are you okay?
She nodded. Yeah, sorry. You just startled me with using You-Know-Whos name, she explained, putting the trophy back on the shelf delicately.
Ah, James said in understanding. Yeah, my parents told me that I shouldnt be scared of a name. Its just a bunch of letters thrown together, he imitated his mother with a high pitched voice. Lily giggled. He grinned at her and returned to scrubbing a trophy won for the Gobstones tournament in 1763.
So what were you saying before? Lily prompted as she realised James wasnt going to say anything.
Oh, I forgot I was saying something! he said, laughing. He shook his head, thinking about what he had been saying previously. Um, I was just going to say that theyre involved with fighting against him and to keep me protected they like me staying at school as much as I can. He didnt look too alarmed by this.
Doesnt that scare you? she asked. He looked at her in confusion so she clarified, Doesnt it scare you that hes becoming a lot stronger? That youre in possible danger? At twelve years old, Lily thought he was awfully brave.
He shrugged, not looking concerned by it. He dipped the sponge back in the water and said, Sometimes I get scared, but I remember that my parents have been fighting him for a long time. Theyre one of the best out there. And Ive kind of grown up with it, by now. Being scared wouldnt do any good.
Lily was surprised. The boy was well beyond his years. Wow, she commented. Thats
Not what you expected? he said with a twinkle in his eye. I swear Im not a total immature prat.
Lily laughed. I see that now. She really did. He just smiled and returned to cleaning the last of the trophies when a few minutes later he finally completed the arduous task.
Finally! he said, dropping his sponge in the bucket with a splash. He cracked his knuckles and said happily, Its all over! He wiped his hands on his robes and rolled his sleeves down, turning his wrists around.
Lucky, Lily said enviously. I still have to do this shelf. She gestured to the shelf on her right. She grimaced at the thought of staying here for any longer.
Do you want some help? James offered. Filch wont let us leave until weve both finished. Hes an idiot. James scowled, thinking of the odd caretaker. Hed had a few too many detentions with him already.
Is that okay? Lily asked nervously. I feel bad because then youve done more than me.
James shrugged and rolled his sleeves up again. Yeah, it isnt that bad. And dont worry about it; I think I had the smaller half anyway.
Lily knew he was lying but she appreciated it. She gave him a smile and returned to wiping down the gold surface. James stood next to her and grabbed one of the trophies from the shelf.
The pair worked in silence until James asked, How come you forgot to do your homework? Thats never happened before.
Lily blushed. Ive just been focusing on Potions with she broke off, not sure whether to mention Severus. James and him never got along. with my friends, she finished lamely.
If James noticed her little stumble, he didnt comment on it. What about you? she asked tentatively.
He laughed. I did my homework, Evans. Apparently it wasnt up to his standards, he said, grinning.
Lily blushed. Oh yeah, I forgot. So why did you do that? she asked curiously. You mustve known hed get mad.
James nodded. Oh I did. But I only remembered to do it when we were in Herbology. So I obviously didnt have time to write a whole essay so I thought Id just draw a picture with minimal explanations hoping that hed give me extra points for creativity.
Lily laughed loudly. That might work with someone like Dumbledore but not Iratus. Oh look, weve finished!
We have, James noticed. Lily looked at him, hoping hed know what to do next. No, I dont know what to do next, he said, as if reading her mind.
Oh, I was hoping you would. Yknow, because youve had a lot of detentions, she said bluntly.
James laughed loudly as he was rolling down his sleeves. Usually I get lines. The teacher usually watches me closely so they just dismiss me when Im finished.
Lily nodded and then sat down in the middle of the floor. James looked at her oddly so she said, Well, we may as well wait here. Its a better alternative than getting in detention again for leaving before we were dismissed.
James agreed and sat down next to her. He tapped his leg in an odd beat and asked, So what do you want to do? Lily shrugged but then he clapped a hand to his pocket. I have Exploding Snap! Wanna play?
Lily nodded and scooted closer to him. Sure! Do you wanna start?
James nodded and they started to play. It seemed to be a very intense game as James and Lily ended up yelling at each other.
I WON! she shrieked. Admit it!
Never! You didnt win, you cheated! he retaliated.
How do you cheat in Exploding Snap?! She threw her hands up in the air exasperatedly.
James grinned. Thats exactly what I want to know.
Lily huffed in annoyance. She put her cards down and folded her arms. Youre such a sore loser!
James laughed and said, Just say that you cheated and then everything will be fine. He ran a hand through his hair.
Lily twirled her hair around her index finger. She thought about the request James had made. Hmm She leaned forward and nearly touched her nose with his. He leaned back, looking slightly uncomfortable and she smirked.
No! she shouted, causing him to jump and his glasses to nearly fall off. She laughed and returned back to her position. James was bright red and fixed himself up. Want another round? Lily asked, collecting the cards up.
Sure, why not? he said, looking distinctly ruffled. Lily laughed to herself. James was surprisingly a great person. Maybe they had just gotten off the wrong foot.
James grinned and dealt the cards again, his cheeks still a bit red. Lily stayed quiet and then said curiously, Filch hasnt checked up on us lately.
James looked up. Yeah, youre right. We have been shouting, so hes obviously not near us, he said thoughtfully. Should we see if were meant to leave or have another round? he asked.
Lily grinned. Another round. I want to beat you again.
Never going to happen, Evans, he said cheerfully. Cheaters never win.
Thats why I won before, because Im not a cheater, she said, sticking her tongue at him.
He flicked a card at her and watched it explode. She squealed and jumped back. He laughed and gathered the cards up again. They were quite silent at first, but slowly they started to raise their voices at each other.
Youre such a whiner, Potter! Lily said, laughing at his singed eyebrows.
I am not! he protested, grinning. He self-consciously patted his eyebrows and Lily had tears forming in her eyes from his shame and embarrassment. She loved beating him in things; it always gave her a sense of satisfaction.
Anyway, she said, should we go see if Filch is outside? She pulled herself up and brushed down her robes. James nodded and also stood up. Can you check? she asked him, not wanting to see the strange caretaker.
James looked unwilling but at Lilys pleading look, he said resignedly, Fine. He poked his head out the door warily and then gestured for Lily to come closer. She stood next to him nervously and he whispered, Hes asleep.
Lily stuck her head out of the door and saw the caretaker sleeping in a chair with his strange cat in his lap. The cat was also asleep. Should we leave then? she whispered to James.
He nodded. Come on, follow me. He grabbed her hand and led her outside, being very careful not to wake Filch or his cat.
Together they tiptoed out the Trophy Room and past Filch but they were just about to get away from him when the cat opened its yellow eyes.
The two froze in horror. She blinked at the pair of second years and growled.
No, shh! Lily hissed. Please be quiet, kitty!
The cat growled again as James took another step. He looked at Filch in case he decided to wake up but he was still fast asleep.
Lily, lets just go! he whispered, The cat cant do anything!
Lily looked warily at the cat but nodded, wanting to get away from it and Filch. However, as soon as they took a few more steps, The cat let out a loud noise and woke the caretaker up.
RUN! James screamed as soon as Filch jolted awake.
Lily ran as fast as she could and was still holding James hand. He was nearly dragging her as she couldnt keep up with his long legs. Her chest felt like it was on fire and they could hear the footsteps of Filch behind them.
Students out of bed! he was croaking. Students out of bed!
Come on, Lily! James urged her.
Imsorry, she wheezed. He just tugged on her hand as they ran up the stairs until they were stopped by Peeves.
Whats this? the Poltergeist said, bobbing in front of them. Naughty second years out of bed?
Peeves, James pleaded. Please dont let Filch find us. We just got out of detention.
Peeves cackled and said, Naughty Potter and Evans sneaking around the castle at night! KISSING!
Lily felt her whole face bloom red and James cheeks turned an ugly red. Peeves! he said angrily. Peeves kept cackling and singing rude songs about the two of them. James just grabbed Lilys hand again and tried to dodge Peeves so they could return to their common room.
He started to throw chalk at the pair and cackled as they ran away screaming. They tried to throw the chalk back so he started screaming, STUDENTS OUT OF BED! STUDENTS OUT OF BED!
James shoved Lily in a closet and shut the door as they heard Filch catch up with Peeves.
Peeves where did they go? he asked urgently. Lily tried to quieten her pants and James had his ear pressed up against the door, listening intently.
Where did who go? Peeves asked innocently. Lily let out a relaxed breath and James shushed her.
Filch snapped, This is no time to be smart, Peeves! Where did they go?! Peeves cackled and they then heard Filch scream, No, dont throw chalk at me! Stop it instantly! Tell me where they went! PEEVES! There was a loud smash as it sounded like a suit of armour was broken.
The sound of chalk being thrown and Filchs screaming eventually disappeared but the two stayed in the closet for a little bit longer in case someone was still out there.
James eventually opened the door slightly but then closed it quickly shut. Lily was about to ask why but he hushed her quickly and put his ear to the door again. Lily joined him this time and he shuffled over so she had some space.
Headmaster. He is rude and doesnt respect the staff! they heard Filch saying.
Dumbledore gave a small chuckle. On the contrary, Argus, I feel that Peeves brings this castle lively entertainment.
But Headmaster! He broke this suit of armour! Filch protested. He needs to be kicked out!
No matter, I can repair this. You may leave now, Dumbledore replied, his tone implying that Filch shouldnt argue. They could hear Filch muttering curses under his breath and they heard the suit of armour being fixed.
The door opened and the two saw Dumbledore staring down at them with a small smile. Would you like to come out now? Broom closets are not the most comfortable of places, he said with a twinkle in his eyes.
PProfessor, Lily stumbled. We werent trying to
The Headmaster held a hand up. You were just trying to avoid another detention, I understand. James and Lily looked at each other incredulously and Dumbledore chuckled. Detention is not a fun activity.
Youre telling me, James said, grinning at the Headmaster, much more relaxed that now he knew they werent going to get in trouble.
Dumbledore gave them a small smile and said, You will not be receiving another detention, do not worry. Now, off to bed! The Quidditch match is very early tomorrow; you wouldnt want to miss it.
The two nodded and bade the Headmaster goodnight. Lily whispered to James, Dumbledore is quite odd, dont you think?
James turned around and saw the old Professor watching them with a twinkle in his eye. He said, If you are any later, the Fat Lady will not be happy with you waking her up.
They both laughed and walked a bit more quickly to the common room. They reached the Fat Ladys portrait who was just about to fall asleep.
If you were any later I would have been extremely annoyed with you two! she scolded but allowed them in as they said the password.
Dumbledore is a bit mad, James said as they walked in, but hes also bloody brilliant.

Welcome KIM! from a girl and a glue gun. This is such a fun tradition for kids! I love how this captures the memories each year!
HI! I'm Kimbo and I blog over at a girl and a glue gun and i'm super excited to be here (big puffy hearts the crafting chicks) and I like big run on sentences.
One of my most favoritest traditions is one my mom started! Each year in your stocking we got an ornament. Something that represents us for that year. If we did volleyball that year…or got our drivers license, I have a telephone one (I was 14!) After we got married my mom packed up all those ornaments and gave them to me to decorate our first little tree.
and I knew that looking at that little tree with all those memories on it would be a tradition that i would FORCE onto my kids!
So each year I get to pick the PERFECT ornament for my kids to get each year.
Like the year my daughter was Barbie Ro for Halloween
or the year my son watched the cars movie literally EVERY morning. and would carry a blue Lightning McQueen and a red McQueen in each hand. or the year my daughter was born
Some years i can't find exactly what i want, so i get creative (picture me screwing an i-hook into a littlest pet shop head. Last year i even diyed my kids with sculpey (go HERE)
and it's actually my kids favorite part about setting up the christmas tree–they each get a bag that is filled with their ornaments
(i also stick their homemade ones they make in school)

having experienced that first Christmas on the other side of the country wondering how to try to create some decorations etc without even a penny to spare, I must tell you that I made sure there was a special ornament or other object for each child that they knew they would take with them to their grown up home. you have taken this to another level beyond what we did but you are blessing their future Christmases in ways only my now grown children could tell you.
they will be so thankful

Dad always taught me, never ask a question you don't want an honest answer to…so the first thing I would say, if you don't want honest feedback then don't ask your employee, your customer or anybody!
I say that hoping that people realise that none of us really enjoy feedback that is not 100% fantastic, it is always uncomfortable and in a sense it should be…because it is testing your beliefs.
So how do you ensure that feedback is taken in a positive way, well here are 5 steps that have helped me over the years
- Prepare for feedback. Before you ask, make sure you know and understand that it may feel painful. Ensure you are ready to listen, if you are not ready to listen then you are not ready to ask!
- Accept. At this point is not about who is right and who is wrong – the truth is normally in between anyway! – it is about listening to what EXACTLY they are saying. If you are already planning your defence you are not listening, you are hearing. Accept this is their viewpoint.
- Take time to understand. This again is not about accepting that everything they say is right, it is about finding out why they think that way….the only way you can do this is to ask questions about their views, asking for examples, specifics.
- Agree a plan. After both sides have truly expressed and listen to each others views then you can find that middle ground. Find a suitable course of action that shows that you have understood their point of view. It might be you finding out more from others, gathering feedback from other sources, issuing an apology, agreeing how you work together in the future.
- Be Positive. Whatever has been said, respect that the other person has both the right to feel the way they do and has had the bravery to give you the feedback. You asked – you can only thank them for answering the question! So be positive about both these points. This is not saying you are agreeing, this is saying you respect their honesty and their openness.
At the end of the day, it is up to you to go away in private and find the truth – however painful – and work on ways to correct the feedback. Sometimes we also forget to do MORE of the positive comments – remember positive are not passive pieces of praise …they are an invitation to use more.
Happy appraisals……

Pulse Update: JCI partners with IBM to make Buildings Smarter
Mary Gorczynski 1100006B54 email@example.com | | Tags:  ibmpulse buildings energy facilities smarter-planet eam asset-management pulse2010
0 Comments | 2,543 Visits
All speakers at Pulse 2010 are great........but I'm so glad that I was able to listen to Clay Nesler from Johnson Controls today during the Enterprise Asset Management track kickoff. The timing could not have been better as today IBM announced a new relationship with JCI to create "a new era of smarter buildings. Together, the companies will team to provide a Smart Building Solution that can improve operations and reduce energy and water consumption in buildings worldwide."
Quoting William Sawyer, Vice President, Tivoli Maximo Operations, IBM Software Group......
"The Smart Building Solution from Johnson Controls and IBM will deliver the ability to optimize energy and environmental performance by integrating building, infrastructure, and enterprise systems. This will provide our clients with advanced intelligence capabilities that will measurably improve building operations."
To read the full press release go here.
Not only was this a great announcement, Clay Nesler's presentation about the "day in the life of a smart building", that I referred to in my earlier blog today about the EAM Track Kickoff, was very cool!
Look for more with Clay Nesler in the future on this blog.

P.) — More jobs and easier credit is the goal of the conference of Americas business leaders opening here Tri-day with President Hoover. Tho national gathering Is timed to take full advantage of what government leaders say they believe Is The Methodist board's statement' a dp,inite upward break In the eco said American prohibitionists "will certainly strive to secure the defeat of any congressman who votes to destroy the Eighteenth amendment by the enactment of legislation authorising the manufacture and sale of beer or other intoxicating beverages." Recalls 1928 Campaign. In speaking of its disappointment at Mr. Hoover's declaration for state determination of the solution of the prohibition problem, with gursnteea in the federal constitution against the return of the saloon, the Methodist board said this feeling was particularly acute when "it is remembered with what utter devotion the Democratic and Republican supporters of Mr. Hoover served his cause in 1928." The board closed its statement with a number of questions. Among others, these asked: "Would the political parties have taken a position hostile to prohibition had not the wets controlled prospective campaign funds? "Is It unjust to believe that a deliberate effort bas been made by a small group of millionaires to divert the thinking of the nation from economic problems by raising a general outcry for the return of the legalised liquor traffic??'' Hoover Writes Poling. Washington, D. C., Aug. 24—(A.P.) —President Hoover considers himself on common ground with the prohibition in "a desire to rid this civilization of the evils of the liquor traffic.'* He made this statement in a letter to Dr. Daniel A. Poling which was made public by the chairman of the allied dry forces for prohibition. Poling, In making public the chief executive's letter dated August 22, renewed his previous endorsement of Mr. Hoover. "There are many moral and spiritual problems before us, to which you have given so many years of devoted service," the president's letter «aid. "We are on common icround in a desire to rid this civilization of the evils of the liquor traffic. ,'We may not all agree on method is I havo come to the belef that we must, through constructive and not destructive changes, revive the energies of the state to deal with the new evils, with federal constitutional guarantees against the return of the old evils." Considers President Dry. Poling told reporters he considers Mr. Hoover is "decisively, personally and politically dry.'' He then described Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt as "personally dry and politically wet." He added: "The president's letter confirms us Is the judgment and good faith with which we reached, by an overwhelming national vote, our conclusion to support his candidacy. • • * It Is Mr. Hoover's determination to meet out great issue constructively. * * * U.

Aug. 24.—Wall Street was eager todny to learn whether other large concerns would follow the lead of the United States Steel corporation, whl h announced yesterday that an outlay of $5,000,000 had been authorized for replacements and Improvements at Its plants.

Taylor, ♦he steel concern's chairman, who said in making the announcement, that it would seem a buying movement in the United States "cannot be long delayed." noinic contest and administration ofllcials are optimistic. Mr. lloover believes if the flow of capital can be speeded up and the Jobs passed around to spread buying power, the conference will have contributed a big boost for an economic rise.

W.C.T.U.'S ATTACK PLEASES MORPHY Cancelling Speech at Hamilton Fair Would "Have Been Service," He Says. Dos Angeles, Aug. 24.—(A.P.)— One of the greatest of all movie successes himself, Charlie Chaplin is so opposed to his two young sons starting in his footsteps at their tender age he plans court action to prevent It. Counsel for the famous pantomimic artist said he intends to file, possibly by tomorrow, a petition contesting the right of his divorced wife, Lita Grey Chaplin, to take the children into the movies without Chaplin's sanction. The former Mrs. Chaplin has had custody of the children since the sensational divorce some five years ago. She recently signed a contract for herself and the boys—Charles, Jr., 6, and Sidney Earl, 5, to appear In pictures for Fix Film studio. Chaplin's lawyer, Lloyd Wright, said the divorce agreement is worded to prevent the boys being started on a professional career except by mutual consent of the parents. Wright said the comedian feels that his sons are too young to subject to the influences of a movie career, (hat they should be given the best opportunity for normal boyhood development and allowed In later years to select their own careers—movie or otherwise. Chaplin also was represented as feeling that he had made ample financial provision for the boys. Mrs. Chaplin is reported to have received a $650,000 settlement in the divorce, and $1,000 a month for support and education of tho children. Chaplin, for the first time in two years, took the boys away from home for several hours Monday for a reunion, exercising his right under | the terms of the divorce to see them periodically. Yesterday he is reported to have made trust fund de-1 ............- posits, providing incomes for them w.n . until each reaches the age of 25. Former Governor Will Not Go to Seagirt, N. J., to Fort Dodge, Aug. 24—(A.P.)— Louis Murphy, Democratic senatorial nominee, today replied to attempts of the W. C. T. U., of Hamilton county to have his speaking date at the county fair cancelled with a declaration that "the fair board would have done me a great service by canceling the date." "Then a 40 acre field would not have held the people who want to hear me." Murphy said. "There is one outstanding and able dry in public life in Iowa today," he said, "and he is Senator Brookhart. It is not without significance that he was defeated in the Republican primary. "My views on prohibition are the platform expressions of my party. We are definitely pledged against prohibition and no less definitely against the return of the old saloon." The Hamilton county fair board refused the W. C. T. U., request. Murphy will speak there next month. AL SMITH TAKES OVER EDITOR'S JOB Benton, 111., Aug. 24.— (A.

Roosevelt to Brave Jinx on Long Trip BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1932). New York. Aug. 23.—The Roosevelt managers don't believe in Jonahs. They are going ahead with their plans for an 8,000-mile trip for the Democratic nominee in the face of the fact that no presidential candidate who has made a long campaign trip in the last 40 years has ever reached the White House. William Jennings Bryan, who ran in 1896 and 1900 and then again In 1908 was the most widely traveled of all presidential candidates of recent history and lost each time. William McKinley in 1896 and again in 1900 inaugurated the famous "front porch" campaign in Canton. O. Four years later Theodore Roosevelt spent most of his time in Oyster Bay and the Democratic nominee, Judge Parker, didn't travel much cither. But in 1908 Bryan went across and up and down the country, while Taft made a few* speeches here and there. In 1912, Wilson went as far as Colorado hut not to the coast paign address in New York, and j His only transcontinental journey as probably one or two more speeches i president was ill-fated. He went out in the middle west. "His job is here, fighting the depression," the secretary said. "If he gets an opportunity to get out between rounds and say something he will do it, but if his job requires him to stay here, he will stay." on behalf of the League of Nations and lost; In fact he broke down in health. In 1916. Mr. Hughes made a transcontinental trip and when he was in California the famous episode in which he was supposed to have snubbed Hiram Johnson occurred, and this is believed to have cost him the presidency. Mr. Wilson! stayed on the front porch at Shadow Lawn, N. J., and won. In 1920. Mr. Cox went to the coast and was defeated while Mr. Harding tried at Marion, O., the McKinley idea of a front porch campaign and won. In 1924, Mr. Coolidge made no campaign trip, while his opponent, John W. Davis, traveled. In 1928, both Mr. Hoover and Mr. Smith made extensive trips but neither went as far as the coast in wrhat is known in politics as a swing around the circle. • Another president who went to the coast during his term and met misfortune was Mr. Harding, who died in San Francisco. It is recalled that Mr. Taft, after his election, made trips to the coast in the hope of bolstering up his political fences but his attempts were failures. Maybe the radio changes political customs and. since the voice can be heard across the continent, the candidates need not travel in person, but Mr. Roosevelt is insisting on a transcontinental Journey. The record shows the American people like to hear ami read what their candidates have to say but they do not necessarily like to see them. St. John, N. K* Ang. 24,-(A. P.)—The "Fljlmr Hatch In sons," hound from New York to Lon« don over the Arctic ronte, took off this afternoon for Anticosti island, their second stop. Harbor Grace, N. F., Aug. 24.— (/.P.)—What,at first was an impromptu race from the United States to Norway today was halted by a mishap and the airman's code. The wrecked airplane of Thor Solberg and Carl Petersen lay at Darby's harbor, Placentia bay, while the "Green Mountain Boy" Oslo-bound from Barre, Vt., rested on the air field here with its flyers, Clyde A. Lee and John Bochkon, under orders to delay their hop for Europe so as to give any possible help to Petersen and Solberg. Both planes had struggled through a heavy fog last night in vain efforts to locate the Harbor Grace airport. Lee and Bochkon brought their plane safely down on the beach at Burgeo and at daylight they continued their flight to Harbor Grace. Petersen and Solberg, the meagre details available said, crashed at Darby's harbor without injury to thmselves but with considerable damage to their plane. Lee and Bochkon, on reaching here. Immediately began to fuel their plane for the long hop across the ocean and planned to take off this afternoon or tomorrow morning for Oslo. Their indecision was turned to a definite stand to start the fight tomorrow when Hubert Huntington, the plane's navigator, who is directing the flight from the Barre-Mont-pelier airport in Vermont sent them orders to delay their hop until tomorrow and in the meantime lend all possible assistance to Petersen and Solberg. George R. Hutchinson and his family, which consists of his wife, two small daughters and four men assistants, waited for better weather to get off from St. John, N. B., on a leisurely jaunt to London. They flew yesterday from New York to St. John. William Ulbrich, Dr. Leon M. Pisculli and Miss Edna Newcomer delayed until tomorrow the start from New York on an announced non-stop flight to Rome. They had intended getting away today. Capt. J. A. Mollison, famous British flyer who recently flew solo from Ireland to new York, expected to start his flight back to Britain Friday. The German airman, Capt. Wolfe-gang von Gronau, who is flying from Germany westerward around the world, poised at Cordova, Alaska, with two companions for the next hop in bis unhurried progress. Capt. Mollison told of a reported plan of his wife, the former Amy Johnson, to duplicate his feat of flying solo westward across the Atlantic, said: "I don't expect her to give up flying, but I do hope she will not make such a trip." turnerchoXy to CONFERENCE PLAN Sheriff 's Men Use Tear Gas This Morning—Swears in 98 Special Deputies.

In a brief statement, he said: "As recent as July 9 I wired the governors of the eight midwestern states suggesting a conference on the economic situation and met with little encouragement. There is nothing that leads me to believe that I would meet with better success now." His statement followed suggestions by Milo Reno, president of the national holiday association sponsoring the present farm strike, and Gov. Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota that such a conference be called. WOMAN LEAPS INTO RIVER FROM PLANE Despondent Over the Recent Death of Mother—Police Hunt for Body.

rather than to bring new short films to an in-the-know audience: the awards
presented largely reflected that mission.
Prior to distributing the kudos to the filmmakers, there was a screening of
"A Short History of Shorts," an introductory survey of some classic short
experimental films. While incredibly worthwhile and containing some
important milestones in the history of the genre, the choice might have
been a little "academic" for an awards ceremony. Perhaps a more appropriate
option would have been to screen the winning films after they were
Awards were presented by R.J. Cutler ("The War Room", "A Perfect Candidate"),
who angled throughout for one of the Tourneau watches being given to the
winners as his compensation. Jessica Yu's Academy Award winning
documentary, "Breathing Lessons: The Life And Work Of Mark O'Brien", took top
honors in the Documentary category. "Get That Number", recently shown at the
New York Comedy Film Festival, by Stephen Leeds of Columbia University, won
in the student category. Christophe Van Rompaey of Belgium got the nod for
best drama, the category most heavily weighted with international works,
for his film "Grijs" (Grey). Michael Sporn's "Champagne", a film which marries
the genres of animation and documentary, received an award for the best
animated piece. The Australian "Down Rusty Down" by John Curran, formerly of
New York, was the recipient of the Comedy category's first place citation
and "Chronic" by Jennifer Reeves rounded out the ceremony as winner of the
best experimental film. Checks for $2000 accompanied the watches and
certificates given to the winners.
Additionally, Perry Ellis sponsored a Breakthrough Award, given to two
filmmakers whose works used an awareness of clothing centrally in their
films. Amyn Kadereli and Kelly Atkins were both awarded $500 along with
bottles of Tattinger champagne for their films "Little Man" and "Chatham County Superstar", respectively. Both films are showing in the Student
programs and both filmmakers hail from NYU.
After the screening and ceremony, a packed party, sponsored by Absolut
Vodka, took place in the theater's fourth floor atrium. The crowd was
composed of the filmmakers, their friends, and a large number of industry
people, including, of course, Sylvia Miles.

Bingo is a fun party game for all ages. In the standard version a "caller will call out numbers that correspond to random numbers on bingo cards. Children use pennies to cover the pictures they have on their cards. The first person to get either a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line is the winner. In our variations we us pictures and symbols instead of numbers so even very young plays will enjoy the activity. You can continue to play until all of the items have been called so there may be several winners.
What You'll Need:
Note: You can create a custom bingo game for any type of party using the sticker method. Create a bingo card with 9 squares. Print enough for every child to play one or two games. Use stickers that match your party theme and place them randomly on the cards so that no two are exactly alike. Be sure to keep the center square as your Free Space. Keep one extra of each sticker to be your Call Cards and place them in a bad. Pick a sticker out of a bag one at a time until a player gets B-I-N-G-O!

Bullying affects one-third of Oklahoma kids
Nearly one in three elementary and middle school students in Oklahoma are either a bully, a bullying victim, or both, the state Health Department reports. About 8,000 third-, fifth-, and seventh-grade students from 85 districts took part in a 2005 survey that explored students' perceptions of bullying. The report also outlines the best practices for prevention. "The children were very specific about what they wanted and how this needed to be addressed," said Kathy Middleton, program coordinator for injury prevention at the state Health Department. "Those who have been targeted have made it very clear about what they need in terms of help." Children asked for better adult supervision and want teachers to make and enforce rules, as well as teach lessons about bullying, Middleton said. "It's not uncommon for young people to experience bullying, but today we are identifying it more," said Clinton A. Lewis, a clinical psychologist who practices in Edmond. Lewis said emotional damage from being bullied depends on the type of harassment and how long it lasts, but can include anxiety, depression, anger and the loss of ability to interact with peers. "It can affect kids as they mature, and can affect them academically, socially and emotionally," Lewis said. He said bullied kids often come up with excuses to miss school in attempts to avoid a situation over which they feel they have no control.
What students said→ "It's getting out of control. Whether it's prejudice remarks, most remarks or anything. Bigotry is horrible, too. I can't stand it. It hurts … " → "If this bullying continues someone might commit suicide." → "They are mean to us. They make me want to kill them."

Press release: Jan Satyagraha starts on its way to Delhi
[via Ekta Parishad] October 3, 2012- On October 3rd, poor and marginalized communities of India started their 350 km walk from Gwalior to Delhi to demand their rights to land and livelihood resources.
This morning, at 8 am, 50, 000 people, adivasis (tribals), dalits and other marginalized communities of India left the Mela Ground in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to start the Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice. On this first day, they covered 22 km, taking the national highway leading to Delhi. Some of the participants of Jan Satyagraha stayed back in order to clean the Mela Ground of Gwalior, where people had been gathering since the end of September in order to prepare for the march. In spite of the heat, all went well during this first day, and people are ready to take the road again. Tomorrow, they will cover a distance of 12 kilometres to reach Morena.
The Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice aims to give a voice to the poorest communities of India that are asking the right to live in dignity. The main demands of this huge non-violent action, directly inspired by Gandhi, are a new land reform policy which would guarantee access to land and livelihood resources, and a law establishing the right to shelter. As negotiations with the government were intense during the last 2 weeks, the march was about to succeed even before its departure. Unfortunately, the proposal of the government presented yesterday on the Mela Ground of Gwalior by the Minister of Rural Development M. Jairam Ramesh was too noncommittal in meeting the expectations of the marchers and the leadership of Jan Satyagraha. The march, they decided, was necessary to keep the pressure on the government.
Prepared over the course of four years by many Indian organizations, and led by the Gandhian leader P.V. Rajagopal of Ekta Parishad, the Jan Satyagraha is supported worldwide, and many non-violent actions (marches, forum, exhibitions, etc) are held in various countries in solidarity with the Indian marchers.
DATES and PLACES :
March Jan Satyagraha, October 2012, from Gwalior to Delhi, INDIA.
October 3rd, 2012 : March from Muradabad to Morena.

And the "shaving hair" part isn't true, I read the Quran each year & I've never stumbled upon a verse that says that women should "explicitly" cover their hair or else shave it, but I guess I'm from the few who still believe in that these days :/
Here a specific one from the Bible (Corinthians somewhere):
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven...
Since head shaving / short hair was considered masculin and thus bad for a women, it was expected that she cover her hair in order to guard her modesty / "honour."
The Qu'ran is a bit more obscure and perhaps based more on interpretation / historical factors and meetings with Christians who observed headscarfs.
"O Prophet, tell your wives and daughters and the believing women to draw their outer garments around them (when they go out or are among men). That is better in order that they may be known (to be Muslims) and not annoyed..." (Qur'an 33:59)
The "outer garments" idea is, like I said, obscure, but given in the time period of Mohammed i.e. 600AD it could very well have included scarves. This interpretation probably carried on into present day where some are very "lenient" i.e. hijab while others are clearly more political about it i.e. burka in order to control women's "jobs" and rights in society.
Pending who you talk to, though, that specific verse can either be very pro-hijab or anti-hijab

Some 300 workers of the total headcount of 450 were affected by the shutdown of the plant in Bucharest.
"We didn't start from the premise of shutting down the facility, but the sharp slowdown of the market forced us to make this decision", said Eduard Macarescu, commercial director of Lasselsberger Romania.
A part of the Bucharest plant production will be shifted to Cluj, where Lasselsberger holds another facility with an annual production output of 7.5-8 million sqm of ceramic tiles.
Lasselsberger recorded a turnover of around 45 million euros last year in Romania, down 26.2% from 2007.

300-MPH Lakester - Number 77Written by on August 25, 2009 Contributors: Randy Lorentzen Seth And Tanis Hammond's 300-MPH Bonneville Projectile
Gray Baskerville got it right back in 1975 when he wrote, "Seth Hammond is slightly eccentric..." Thus began the feature on Seth's Frontenac-headed Model T in the Sept. '75 issue of HOT ROD. Seth and his buddies built the car in a few weeks, with Seth building the chassis, Steve Davis bending the aluminum body panels, and a crew of guys building the banger with a '26 Model T block and that ultrarare, four-valve Fronty head. "It sounds like an Offy," our Old Dad told the readers. Seth killed the record at the now-defunct Signal Hill (California) hillclimb event, after which the organizers asked him not to come back. Sore losers.
But perhaps that uninvitation was a good thing, as it pushed Seth toward the Salt. He bought the old Scotties Muffler Lakester from the '50s and was going to run the Frontenac motor from the hillclimb car, but then realized Bonneville has a habit of devouring engines and the head was just too valuable and too hard to replace. Running a Pinto four-cylinder instead, he set his first-ever Bonneville record at 140 mph in 1976 and has managed to keep his name in the record book every year since then.
In 1981, Seth bought a Lakester that was built in his hometown of Santa Barbara, California, by Tim Rochlitzer and that was on the cover of HOT ROD in 1962. He ran it until 2003, putting nine people in the 200 MPH Club and three in the 300 MPH Club, including his wife, Tanis (at 305, the first woman above 300 mph), and Dr. Jeannie Pflum (302 mph). Seth crashed the car at 324 mph in 2003, then used the remains to build a Modified Roadster. He ran that until 2007 and set four records with it, but the whole time he envisioned a new Lakester in the back of his head. That new car is the one seen here.
To help jump-start the new car build, Seth's son, Channing, taught himself the SolidWorks 3-D program and designed a body that was then built by the Gaffoglio brothers at Metalcrafters (Fountain Valley, California) out of honeycomb fiberglass and carbon fiber. The body master was actually CNC-machined to ensure that the curvature is the same on both sides. The chassis was built in Seth's shop from 4130 chrome-moly 1 5/8, 0.120-wall tubing and has a 240-inch wheelbase. A four-link suspends both ends of the car, there's a Trans Action quick-change with Speedway Engineering axles in the rear, and QA1 coilovers reside on all four corners. The body and chassis were designed to be easy to work on while at the Salt, and the last touch to the elegant bodywork was a Chip Foose-designed-and-sprayed paint job.
Lee Gustafson built the 565ci Rat motor around a 4.600 bore and 4.250 stroke and topped it with Reher-Morrison's Raptor 12-degree cylinder heads and a Hogan sheetmetal intake with twin throttle bodies and EFI Technology fuel injection. Without the 400 shot of Edelbrock nitrous, it makes 1,035 hp at 7,700 rpm, which is sent through an air-shifted five-speed Liberty transmission with a triple-disc McLeod clutch.
That's enough to push the Lakester to 311.853 mph, blowing away the record (which sat at 271 mph) in the AA/Gas Lakester class. By the time the '08 Speed Week and World of Speed events were over, the record had actually been broken five times by three different cars, and Seth's car ended up the fastest. But that's quite a bit shy of where he would like it to ultimately run. His goal is to be the fastest open-wheel car, eclipsing his hero and mentor Fred Dannenfelzer's mark of 366 mph.
What ever happened to that hillclimb T? It now hangs on Seth's office wall in Santa Barbara. No kidding.
Lee Gustafson of Atascadero, California, built the 565ci big-block Chevy. It uses a Bryant 4.250-inch-stroke crank, Manley rods, and JE pistons that squeeze 15.0:1 compression. The heads are 12-degree units from Reher Morrison and mount T&D rockers, while the induction is a Hogan sheetmetal intake with twin throttle bodies controlled by an EFI Technology fuel-injection system. The wrapped headers have 2 1/4-inch primaries. It makes just above 1,000 hp. There was room left in the engine bay to add a pair of turbochargers so the car can run all the classes-blown or unblown, gas or fuel, and engine displacements from AA to E.

Chip Foose grew up next door to Seth's shop and volunteered to paint the lakester. He used white, red, and silver Glasurit paint.A Trans Action International quick-change rearend holds a 3.08:1 ring-and-pinion on a spool and Speedway Engineering axles. The suspension is a homemade four-link with QA1 coilovers, and the Lamb brakes are carbon fiber.The front suspension also uses a four-link (with a Watt's link) and QA1 coilovers, and steering is via a Stiletto 20:1 rack-and-pinion.If the chutes fail at more than three bills, you'll want some good brakes-and they don't get much better (and lighter) than Lamb binders with carbon rotors.The switches on the side of the dash show just some of the incredible detail that is the hallmark of a Seth Hammond car.The butterfly steering wheel (which holds the buttons for shifting the Liberty) was salvaged from the crashed lakester that preceded this one. The digital gauges are from EFI Technologies.

The Windy City didn't know it but two vampires had just blown into town looking for some civilised pleasures, rest and recreation after weeks of drifting like demon dust clouds through the tiny towns of the snowbound prairies.
It was the 3rd of February and Spike was planning something special for his dark goddess to celebrate St Valentine's Day. He would have to work quickly in order to arrange the complex scenario he was planning but that was okay with Spike: anything that took too long to come to fruition was already rotten on the bough as far as he was concerned.
Consequently he sought introductions to leaders of the seamier side of urban America and thus warmed up the orchestra to be ready for when the dance was to start.
In the town of Beech Crossing they had come across a young man who fancied himself a big fish in that little pond. He had allied himself with the prestigious Kennedy boys and he had had the supply of booze to the local area wrapped up tightly. He had, though, always one eye on the bustling city only twenty miles away and its chances for the really big time.
The day that the sharks arrived in town he had found out just how little a fish he really was. He had had a certain naive charm, however - though he would have died rather than acknowledge it and Dru had greatly enjoyed finally persuading him to do so. When the two vampires had finished with him, several days later, it was difficult to tell whether the frozen mask of his face was a rictus of horror or a smile.
Before his unwelcome guests had arrived, he had stacked a newly delivered cache of whiskey in an outhouse and this would, Spike had thought, prove a useful introduction to the society elites he had decided to target. This, along with personal papers, letters and a bulky wad of cash accompanied them when headed towards the big city. A germ of an idea was already blooming in Spike's mind and he had been quiet and thoughtful as they drove through the icy night.
When they arrived at the imposing Drake Hotel, their credentials as Lord and Lady Illingworth smoothly and efficiently effected their acquisition of one of the hotel's finest suites and the reassurance of nothing but the best in the way of service - and servility, considered Spike wryly.
As they left the reception desk, Spike was vastly amused when a large, red-faced worthy of comfortable middle age and even more comfortable means strode up to grasp his hand declaring that he had come across a Lord Illingworth some thirty or forty years ago and had enjoyed a marvellous evening with him.
"Your father, was he? Although time doesn't hang about much nowadays and now I come to think it, you look a mite too young to be any son of his so perhaps it was was your grand-daddy I remember."
"That would indeed have been my father," Spike's English drawl would have cut glass. "My family has been blessed with health, youthful looks and longevity - as many visitors remark who view the family portrait gallery. Indeed, we have a picture of my grandfather at seventy, looking no older than he did at forty. So far I have been lucky in following in their inestimable footsteps."
Spike nodded graciously and stepped away but Drusilla glided silkily towards the man and, breathing softly into his ear, whispered: "Fingal was a bad, bad boy and deserved to be whipped."
Startled, he stepped back abruptly, nearly tripping over the couple's pile of luggage and the boy who was starting to carry it away. Drusilla's tinkling laughter was like cold water in his veins but what chilled him to the bone was the glimpse of ancient death he caught in Lord Illingworth's mocking stare and young eyes.
Over the next few days, Spike found himself busy mingling with men whose rotten souls and egocentric self-satisfaction amused him no end. He had decided that St Valentine's day, that year, should be one to remember and was planning to start it off early and spectacularly. His forte in planning, always, was to think on his feet and change direction when necessary and he revelled in those opportunities that this situation presented.
When the day dawned, it was, predictably, grey and overcast with snow filling the air and cutting out any chance of fatal sunbeams: a day when vampires could walk abroad.
He and Drusilla had spent the previous night wandering the behemoth of a city and Dru was teasing in her anticipation of Spike's treat to come. "Twin, beautiful boys, pale in their loveliness, and naked, hanging from the same bough of a weeping tree - its fallen leaves its gift of tears for their warm and gilded agony. They shall be golden in their pain and silver in their dying and crimson will be their end."
"That's an inspired thought, My love, but don't you think it's a setting more suitable to somewhere warm, and ancient - among the groves of an Ionian island, perhaps?"
Drusilla smiled and swayed, her eyes half shut, "Among dark and deadly cypresses where sunny Apollo dreams of Marsyas and feels again his soft, sweet skin and wraps it like a cloak around his dying, bleeding body."
"Yeah, that sound good, we'll make that next year, yes? In the meantime, my deadly and merciless princess, I have a more, city-life treat for you."
"Grey and gritty and spitting spinning death and terror and betrayal and..." Dru put her fingers to her temples - her oracle pose as Spike though of it - "... and years of mystery and misunderstanding. A Valentine rose exploding in wet petals of perfect redness. They won't know we were there but they will wonder for a century and more, not seeing and never knowing."
Spike decided he couldn't really add to this so he threw his arm around her and they walked on in silence.
The north side of Chicago was as far from the sophisticated glamour and luxury of the Drake Hotel as you could get. Grimy buildings reared all around and, even at ten in the morning, signs of life were intermittent and skittish. Spike had enjoyed getting to know this godforsaken place over the last week or so and now, as though it were a palace of the Belle Epoque, he handed Dru into a darkened warehouse which had loomed up on their right.
Taking up position in the shadows, Spike drew Drusilla close and slowly stripped her, all the while whispering and stroking. He buried his face in her scented hair, still unused to her modern, short hairstyle and Dru teased him saying that it was so as he could pretend that her hair was still long. Wisely, he never replied.
By the time the gangster Moran's men arrived, closely followed by another group some of whom were dressed in cops' uniforms, Spike was moving deeply inside Dru's lithe body and they were eager for the drama to commence.
Moran was the first of the top gangsters whom Spike had approached and he was disappointed to see that he and his lieutenants were not with the rest of his gang. Obviously the "police" had arrived too early to take everyone down but it would still be a good show.
Spike and Dru were riding the highs of their love-making though their eyes were wide and bright, watching as Moran's men, assuming that this was a routine police bust and confident in their invulnerability, made derogatory remarks about the cops, their families and their bosses. The men laughed and heckled and demanded to know how much the cops wanted, this time, to look the other way.
Dru's little gasps and squeaks of pleasure and Spike's more gutteral groans went unheard by the two groups of men as they out-postured each other and, far from being cowed by the gun-wielding frosty-faced upholders of law and order, Moran's men practically swaggered to the back of the room where they turned their backs, arms up against the wall, still bad-mouthing those they supposed to be Chicago's Finest.
The gunfire was loud and to Moran's men totally unexpected; for the few seconds they had left, their shock was satisfyingly comical to those who watched. The air filled with cordite and blood and choking screams and the determined agonised whimpering of one man who, alone, was hanging desperately onto life and totally unaware of the soft climactic cries of his vampiric audience as his friends died around him in a spreading crimson lake of blood.
The vampires watched the execution squad leave the building - the uniformed men marching their colleagues in front of them at gun point, as if under arrest - Spike nodded approvingly as they all stayed in character, as per his plan, in case of witnesses. As they disappeared outside to make their get away in the stolen police wagon they were using, Dru danced over to the grim pile of bodies and then, rolling in the warm blood she reached her arms out to her lover, "There is one clever little one here, who is still alive. So clever, he fights and fights and tries with all his might and main to keep from meeting the dark ones. He doesn't know we are here to help him go." She bent smilingly down to the man's ruined body, which alone among the others was still pulsing with blood, and caught the rich red liquid on her tongue.
"My Spikey, my sweet, Sweet William knows how to celebrate holy days. Especially when he can be naughty and show how much he loves his princess, with bullets through the heart instead of arrows."
Spike smiled and joined her. "Happy Valentine's day, Sweetheart."
