Thanks for making me waste two nights reading this crap just to be depressed.
This fan fiction is one of my favorites! It's really deep and moved me to tears. :'( Thank you so much, and keep writing, you have a great talent!
Loved it
it's awesome,really~~
I KNEW IT WAS GONNA END LIKE THE REAL PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!! That's what I feared most about reading this..... Your freaking beautiful/ sad story made me cry! I have seen the POTO a many times and i cry every time i watch it. And with a character like Draco, I don't think I could not shed a few tears... I'm being dramatic aren't I?
Well, anyways, I LOVED your story..... WRITE MOREEEEEEEEEEEE!
Arg. So good! Not the way I would have expected it to end, but I like that! Thanks for a good read.
Just so you know, when I read this chapter I was basically bawling my eyes out, and seriously considered hunting you down and murdering you for doing this to me! Buuuut...well, I do love a tragic ending almost as much as I love a happy one, and so I decided not to. Really, anyone can make a person smile with their story, but to make me cry as much as you did is almost an achievement. And I say almost only because I'm the world's biggest sap who can't watch The Notebook without crying.
Basically, I loved every single word of this story, even the annyoingly sad ones, and that's about all :)
I love this story. I felt Hermoine's torture when she had to pick between Ron and Draco. Then when i read about Draco's pain, i felt my heart tear and i actually did cry. This is really good!
This story was Brilliant!!!! I love how you give Draco so much character, and even though he has changed he still has that anger he can't control. The writing on the grave stone was PERFECT, because it seems to show Draco's essence, and even if he didn't write it, I feel like it was written for him. My favourite line, though, is definitely when Draco says 'Hermione, I loved you…' I feel that that one line completes the whole epilogue of the story, because it shows how broken he really is. And he can never be the same, no matter how hard he might try. I've read the happier ending you had to this story, and even though I prefer a cheerful ending, the ending you have now fits, and no other ending could complete it, with the same beauty this one gives it. I LOVED IT, great job. :)
This is one of my favorite stories on MNFF! I would reccomend this to anyone who loves a good Dramione fanfic. Although, I must admit, I did cry at the end... This story is AMAZING!!
wow. what a story. i'm still in shock; you made me cry and i was up too late trying to finish this story. absolutely fabulous. one of my favorites.
WHY CAN'T IT BE A HAPPY ENDING??? owww... so sad... but this is really a good story... and your good writer...
You had me literally crying like a baby. I have never cried while reading a Draco/Hermione story. I loved reading this.
I would actually love to see Draco and Hermione end up together (and Ron agreeing somehow to it) but I think this ending fits better than the other ending. The anguish was well, anguish, and was written superbly. It was really unfortunate that Draco snapped though =( If he had more control; if he didn't snap, I think Hermione would've chosen him instead. The ending is sad; I wonder if Greyback killed Ron and Hermione. I sure hope it wasn't Draco's work when he lost his consciousness >.<
Awesome story nonetheless. A very good read. You've totally diverted me from my studies =p *thumbs up*
grt stry n i agree with u that a choice b/w ron n malfoy would hv resulted in ron being chosen
draco is just too dark for her in ur fic n i agree wid ur conclusion cept i think that draco as a werewolf just dosen't gel but then its ur stry so ur d boss right!!!;)
(bursts into tears)
I just love that story soooooooo much!!!!!!! It was the best thing I've read in AGES!!!!!! I just wish things didn't turn out so sadly......... Poor Hermione, poor Draco................
Many people hate this ending, but I personally love it and think it is perfect. Great imagery. Keep writing!
I loved this fic, although I hated the end (even though I knew it would go that way). Very clever POTO tie ins as well. Thanks for a great read.

The Night of the Vicious Valentine - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
In Kansas City, industrialist Curtis Langley Dodd is at home playing the piano, unaware that a crossbow is mounted inside. Dodd's butler Griffin answers the door to find Jim and Artie there. They ask to see Dodd but the butler refuses to let them in. When they hear the piano playing, Jim grabs Griffin and demands that he confirm that Dodd is playing the piano. When he does, Jim insists that he open the door. Griffin does so but then calls in two manservants to deal with agents. Jim goes to find Dodd and runs into Elaine Dodd, Dodd's wife. She insists that he leave but Jim says that her husband is danger. He goes to the lounge and tells Dodd to stop, just as Griffin comes in with a gun. As Jim struggles for the gun, the crossbow goes off, killing Dodd.
Later at the
, the agents and their superior, Colonel Crockett, meet with Elaine. She worries that her actions may have led to her husband's death, but Crockett assures her that she's not to blame. Once Elaine leaves, Crockett tells the agents that there's been no word from Washington except Grant offering his condolences for the death of Dodd, the most recent in the series of "alphabet killings." They go over a list of the departed, each one a rich industrialist. Dodd is the fourth. The agents explain that they discovered that each victim died on a holiday, and the prior day was Easter. Crockett warns that President Grant is worried that if someone could take control of the holdings of enough industrialists, they could disrupt the country's workings. As they consider who the next victim might be, Crockett's secretary Gates comes in and reminds Crockett that he has a Senate committee meeting. Once he leaves, Jim finds a sympathy note that Elaine has left for them and realizes that the note has the same decorative M with a broken serif.
That night, Artie continues his analysis and confirms that both cards were printed in the same print shop. They get a wire informing them that the cardstock comes from only one place, the Friendly Card Company. The agents go there and find it closed for the night, and use a key under the mat to go in. As they go in, someone secretly watches them through a peephole. Jim and Artie go into the back and find an invitation from a Miss Emma Valentine, announcing the marriage of Michele Le Master to Paul J. Lambert, another wealthy industrialist.
As the agents talk, a cupid sculpture on the wall fire an arrow at them, narrowly missing. Two men burst through a hidden panel and attack them, while a third one emerges from the shadows and subdues Artie, and then puts him into a paper-cutting machine. The other two men try to hold Jim but he breaks free, knocks them out, and takes out the third man just in time to save Artie. Two of the men flee back through the hidden panel, sealing it behind them. The agents try to interrogate the remaining man, but someone outside shoots and kills him and flees.
The next day, Artie returns to the
and tells Jim that the owner of the shop is one E.N. Itnelav. The dead man had no identification. Artie thinks that Elaine set them up but Jim isn't so sure, and shows his partner Lambert's wedding announcement. There's also a newspaper article on Emma Valentine, Washington hostess who has arrived in Kansas City to manage the wedding. Artie notes that all of the dead men had married within the last six months to women much younger than themselves. He notes that Lambert doesn't begin with an E, but they figure the killer deliberately used the pattern to distract them from the intended fifth victim.
While Artie goes to stop Lambert from marrying, Jim returns to the print shop and talks to Itnelav. Jim point out that there was a fight there the previous night but Itnelav says that it was closed and nothing could have happened there. As the agent asks to look around, Emma Valentine comes in to pick up a delivery and introduces herself. As Itnelav takes out the packages, Emma tells him that she wants him there as her new exciting guest at the reception that evening. Jim accepts and Emma departs at Itnelav returns, and Jim tells the printer that he's found what he was looking for.
Artie talks to Lambert and tries to convince him to cancel the marriage. Lambert ignores him until Artie yells at him, and the cattle baron finally agrees to a delay. Michele comes in and Lambert can't bring himself to delay the wedding and disappoint her.
As Jim breaks into Emma's home, Emma exercises in her bedroom. Michele arrives to show her the wedding dress and is clearly upset. The hostess reminds her that she used to be a barmaid and now she'll be married to the wealthiest man in America, and it took a lot of work to make her acceptable to win Lambert. A series of alarm bells go off and Emma confirms that the intruder is moving through the house and heading for the chapel. Emma goes to change so she can greet her guest.
Jim enters the chapel and Emma and her thugs come in. They subdue the agent and Emma tells him that he will soon have a harem with eager hands ready to crush the life out of him. When Jim wakes up, he finds himself held in place by artificial women's arms. Emma demonstrates that she can trigger them at will to crush the agent, and then explains that she wants to avenge all the slights of men against women. He confirms that she has arranged the marriages and then deaths of the four industrialists. Emma controls the wives after they inherit their husbands' wealth, and after Lambert's death she will control enough wealth to make Congress obey her every demand and appoint her as Empress so she can assure equality for women.
Back at the
, Artie meets with Crockett and try to figure out their next move. Artie looks at Itnelav's card in a mirror and realizes that his name is "Valentine" spelled backward.
Emma continues to discuss how the country will flourish under her scientific reign, and that everyone will be happy because she will arrange happy marriages. She displays her Love Eternal machine, having cut a series of hearts into a piece of paper. When she feeds the paper into the machine, it calculates Jim's perfect woman. Under Emma's reign, she will only allow people to marry their proper mates. Upon running hr machine, Emma discovers that Jim's perfect mate is a combination of perfect women. She flirts with him until Jim rejects her and she slaps him. Michele comes in with her wedding veils and Jim reminds her that she is working with a murderess. Lambert arrives and Emma goes to greet him.
Once they're alone, Michele admits that she stole once and Jim says that it doesn't make her a thief. Michele explains that Emma took her from a prison in France and could put her there, and that Emma controls all of her women through blackmail. He tells her to get out before she's an accomplice to murder and asks her to release him. Before she can, one of Emma's thugs returns.
Artie, disguised as a tailor, is measuring Lambert for his suit when Emma comes in to. As Artie tries to stall, admiring Emma's dress and shamelessly flattering her, Elaine comes in. She whispers to Emma, who steps in as Artie rips the sleeve off of Lambert's tuxedo. Once Lambert leaves, Elaine draws a gun on Artie and Emma rips off his fake beard, laughing in triumph as her thugs come in.
Emma has her men strap the agents to the stained glass chapel roof and explains that the organ hammers are fastened to the glass. Elaine will play the organ and play the proper chord, shattering the glass. She demonstrates, striking a chord and shattering a champagne glass. Once Elaine leaves, Emma says that the proper chord is sounded once at the end of the bridal recessional. The glass will shatter, killing Lambert and dropping the agents to their deaths. With Lambert dead, Emma will declares herself Queen Emma the Third. The organ begins and Emma leaves to attend the wedding.
In the chapel, Elaine plays the organ while Lambert wait at the altar and Michele is escorted in. The minister begins the ceremony while Emma glances up at the stained glass roof, unaware that Jim is cutting his leg rope on a loose nail. Once he frees his right leg. Jim uses his toe knife to cut his other leg free and then kick up and cut Artie's hands free.
The minister pronounces Lambert and Michele man and wife. Elaine begins playing the recessional. Above, the agents fire grappling lines into the ceiling.
Emma has Lambert pose for a photo beneath the stained glass roof. Elaine plays the final chord and the stained glass shatters. The agents drop down and find Emma's thugs, while Emma draws a gun. As she prepares to shoot Jim, Michele knocks her hand aside. The agents make short work of the thugs and Jim chases after Emma, who has slipped out in the confusion. Michele returns the wedding ring and says that she won't give him any trouble having the wedding annulled.
Jim pursues Emma to her boudoir and finds the mating machine running. A piece of paper is on the counter with a message saying that Emma will show that crime pays. Jim runs to the window just in time to see Emma depart in a coach.
Later, the agents return to the
and find a heart-shaped box of chocolates on the table. Jim notes that Emma had several hours to plan something before she was captured and sent to jail. Artie warns that it could be a bomb and Jim takes it to the window and throws it out. Nothing happens and Artie goes out to get it. He returns and shows his partner the now ruined chocolate-covered cherries. There's a note saying that it came from Michele, inviting them to the wedding.

New occurrences of Ichniotherium and Striatichnium from the Lower Permian Kildare Capes Formation, Prince Edward Island, Canada: palaeoenvironmental and biostratigraphic implications

Abstract: Tracks and trackways of the vertebrate ichnotaxon Ichniotherium sphaerodactylum and a trace of the invertebrate ichnotaxon Striatichnium bromackerense are described for the first time in association outside of Europe. The tracks are identified as I. sphaerodactylum based on their characteristic rounded digit ends, the ovoid sole-pad of the pedal imprint and the increase in digit lengths from digits I–IV, and the invertebrate trace is identifiable as S. bromackerense based on the band-like systems of distally bifurcated striae. The tracks of I. sphaerodactylum are the largest known to date and represent rare evidence of large-bodied terrestrial vertebrates in the Kildare Capes Formation of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Morphometric differences between ichnospecies of Ichniotherium and other ichnospecies previously collected from Prince Edward Island are examined in a multivariate analysis, and results suggest that the distance between the manus and pes of the same imprint pair, the width of pace and the length of certain digits is useful for species identification. The association between I. sphaerodactylum and S. bromackerense was previously known only from the Bromacker quarry, Tambach Formation, Germany, which is interpreted as a seasonally dry, semi-arid upland environment. The co-occurrence of these traces suggests that the Eldon locality of Prince Edward Island is similar in depositional environment to the Bromacker quarry in Germany, and allows for comparison of these two localities for the first time. As diadectids are thought to be the trackmakers of Ichniotherium, the Eldon locality of the Kildare Capes Formation may, with further work, be considered as another example of the rare, herbivore-dominated palaeoenvironment, which is generally uncharacteristic of the Early Permian of North America.

It was only a matter of timing that the incident was being
considered as Michael Campbell applied to renew his manager's
certificate, Dunedin liquor licensing Sergeant Ian Paulin
The application was opposed by police and local licensing
inspector Tony Mole after a picture of the layback incident
was posted on Facebook.
''Should this have come to light at a different time in the
life of Mr Campbell's certificate, police would have made an
application to the alcohol and regulatory authority for the
suspension of his certificate. Police would have agreed to an
on-the-papers hearing seeking a 30-day suspension,'' Sgt
Paulin said.
Such a penalty was the norm for a first offender with a
single offence, such as Mr Campbell.
The application, the first opposed manager's certificate to
be heard by Dunedin's District Licensing Committee (DLC), was
heard yesterday..
The committee, comprising Colin Weatherall, Cr Andrew Noone
and Wayne Idour, heard that laybacks were not an uncommon
practice in Dunedin. DLC secretary Kevin Mechen said he was
aware they used to be common in Dunedin bars, but Phil Ellis,
Mr Campbell's employer and owner of
Craft bar, where the incident happened, said during some
market research he had had done just before the incident at
Craft, researchers found they could have got a layback at
five Dunedin bars.
Sgt Paulin told the committee the technique of a layback -
the act of a person lying down and another person pouring
spirits directly into their mouth - was historically
considered in cases related to liquor legislation to
encourage the excessive consumption of alcohol.
Therefore, by participating in the layback Mr Campbell had
promoted the inappropriate consumption of alcohol, thereby
breaching a legislative requirement for managers to provide
and sell alcohol in a manner contributing to the reduction of
alcohol-related harm.
Mr Mole said Mr Campbell had ''screwed up'' and been caught
at it, but the experience could ultimately make him a better
manager. He supported a 30-day suspension.
Mr Campbell, who was just out of a probationary first year of
his certificate, said he assessed the man on whom he
performed the layback, a groom on a stag night, as not too
intoxicated and he had only administered about 30ml of
He told the committee he had never given a layback before
this incident and would certainly never do it again, or allow
any staff to do it.
''I honestly feel that, this aside, I'm a responsible duty
Sgt Paulin confirmed Mr Campbell was otherwise of good
character and had not previously come to police attention.
Mr Ellis said Mr Campbell was suspended from work for two
days and from manager's duties since Mr Ellis became aware of
the incident.
He agreed to hold off reinstating Mr Campbell on bar manager
duties until the committee made its decision, which was
expected to be within days.

And thanks to the mysterious archives known as the Internet, we have some footage of McClanahan hosting something called "The Cat Care Video Guide," which is really just an excuse to see her hanging out and laughing with a lot of kitties.

"That government sanction in the same stroke approves depriving that adopted child of the right to either a mother or father."
Oh please... if Utahns' really cared about making sure every adopted child had the "right" to a mother and father then Utah wouldn't allow single people to adopt.

@Lagomorph - That is simply not true! To members of many faiths marriage is more than benefits. Mormons are not to live together or have sexual relationships until married. That is why this has become such an issue - to us marriage is a religious rite. The government got tangled up in it.

"It's certainly our hope that the homosexuals will not win the approval of Utah. I'm sure there are many more who are against their practices than for. I surely do not want my grandchildren and great grandchildren to have to grow up in this kind of environment. I'm sure many of these men and women are good people but just misdirected."
Funny, 'many of these men and women good people but just misdirected' is a phrase I tend to think of when it comes to people who are against same-sex marriage.

@Sneaky Larry:
Perhaps you didn't understand my statement. Regardless, you failed to state why (or if) the legalization of marriage shouldn't be extended to other groups beside gays and lesbians. If your justification is for a married unit to enjoy "companionship," "love," or to rear a family "in a moral environment," shouldn't that same privilege be extended to groups with multiple partners? If not, I ask, once again, where do we "draw the line?"

@ liberal larry:
No, it is not up to the courts to decide if society has a compelling interest in who may marry. In my opinion, the decision is the up to the citizens who don't reside in the rarified realm of jurisprudence but who live in the "real" world. Through their votes they have the moral right to decide the effect a particular kind of marriage will have on them, their children, and on society. In California, the citizens voted against gay marriage, but the elite judges, clearly assuming their intellect is superior to the masses, overturned the majority "will of the people." I think the bigger question you should ponder is whether, in a democracy, our votes still matter.

Re: "It is just a matter of time before same sex marriage is legal through
out the country."
While unfortunate, it's beginning to appear that statement has an outside chance of coming true.
If it does, it'll be interesting to see what LGBT activists will demand next.
My money's on a big push for "hate crime" legislation that'll impose draconian penalties for the thought crime of refusing to abandon principle, longstanding and wise tradition, and true religion. It'll attempt to force embrace of LGBT assertions that they're perfectly normal people.
It's probably at about that time, real people -- who are the American majority -- will wake up to the fact that there IS a good reason to oppose the LGBT agenda, and that creating a new, extra-constitutional "freedom," especially and exclusively for the LGBT, really WILL adversely affect the currently-cowering majority of Americans.
Once that happens, fear of what have become effective liberal and LGBT bullying tactics will likely be replaced by outrage, greatly reducing the out-of-any-reasonable-proportion liberal and LGBT influence on politics of this issue.
Hope they've thought of that.

"you failed to state why (or if) the legalization of marriage shouldn't be extended to other groups beside gays and lesbians. "
This question has been asked and answered multiple times already.
Again -- pedophilia, bestiality, incest, polygamy, etc., all significantly increase the risk of harm compared to other forms of marriage.
Gay marriage does not.
It's a very simple distinction.
Look up the harm principle.
"overturned the majority "will of the people." "
That is one of the things our US Constitution was created for -- to protect individuals against the tyranny of the majority.

Your using the same argument that segregationists used in the 1960's. If black people wanted to have the same rights as whites they should vote for them. Your the Strom Thurmond or Robert Bird of the 2010's.

In the long way it matters little what the court decides. Marriage of anyone other that male to female will not be recognized after death. What is wrong is wrong no matter what public opinion says. Gay and lesbians know they are wrong to want marriage between same sex couples recognized as correct. They are on the losing side of what is right and will forever be on the wrong side of God's law!

The detriment to society that would come about should same sex marriage be allow
is significant.
First it is non-procreative. No matter how you look at it a man can not produce a child with another man nor a woman with a woman. We are already seeing the burdens China is facing because of the 1 child only law. They are seeing fewer people to sustain their economy. And recently eased up on these laws. So to support a relationship that can produce no offspring will be detrimental to the future of Utah.
Second assuming that the same sex couple decides to adopt or use other means to produce a child. These relationships would deny the child/children being raised in that family of a father or mother. Numerous studies have been done that show that children raised in single-parent homes face significant challenges later in life. This is due to the absence of either a father or mother. Children of same sex couples will face similar significant challenges, no matter how much love they provide.

If air-tight constitutional amendments Utah can't withstand this challenge,
then no state constitution will.
If a federal judge can dismiss an iron-clad state marriage amendment (a state matter) backed up by hundreds of years of case law out of hand, then he can also force a religion to marry gay people, even in the temple. I wish it were unthinkable, but it is not. Gay marriage advocates argue that this would not happen because of the first amendment. As long as the Constitution is secondary to a clever arrangement of case law, then religious liberty can be anything the court says it is and for any reason. So sorry, I don't believe you. Of course churches would not be forced to perform gay weddings......not yet. However, give it a few years as carefully crafted decisions are handed down that set the stage. Watch as some "evolved" judge EVENTUALLY finds a way for the Constitutional guarantee of religious liberty not to apply to marriage. Also watch as those who are currently reassuring us that we will never have to surrender our religious liberties sit in conspicuous silence as churches are forced to do exactly that.

Uhm, it's only circular logic if you ignore COTUS Article III and VI powers and live in a pre-Marbury v Madison world (decided 1803). Welcome to the 19th Century! I can't believe you missed those parts of the COTUS given the self-proclaimed "studying" you've done.
In reality, the logic is linear: COTUS Articles III and VI grant judicial review powers to SCOTUS, standing is established and cases come before the SCOTUS, the SCOTUS issues a ruling on the constitutionality of said issue in line with their powers under the COTUS, and laws/statutes/et al are informed by said ruling.
So, I have the COTUS, hundreds of years of American jurisprudence, thousands of legislative acts/statutes, and compliance from federal and state gov'ts my side of the argument.
Your "judicial activism" perspective is considered valid by which relevant governing body?
At the end of the day, I would love for you to prove me wrong. Please, file an amicus curiae brief on the next SSM case that reaches the SCOTUS outlining your "alternate universe argument" and let me know how that goes; I won't hold my breath.

@trueblue87 --
"First it is non-procreative. "
Procreation has never been a requirement for marriage under US law. Millions of current US marriages are nonprocreative. This issue is a nonstarter -- as was specifically pointed out by the SCOTUS justices during the DOMA and Prop 8 hearings.
"So to support a relationship that can produce no offspring will be detrimental to the future of Utah."
Only around 5% of the population is LGBT. Therefore, same-sex marriages will always be a small minority of the total marriage count. They do not offer any risk at all to "the future of Utah".
"These relationships would deny the child/children being raised in that family of a father or mother."
1. Gay couples already raise children, with or without marriage.
2. Utah already allows gay people to adopt children.
3. Utah already allows SINGLE people -- gay or straight -- to adopt children. Therefore, Utah doesn't especially care about that hypothetical two-parent home.
4. Gay couples don't steal children out of happy stable straight homes. There is no "denying" going on.
5. Studies have NEVER shown that children do worse in married gay homes than in married straight homes.

Worf, I think for the very first time we are in total agreement.
Yes, we are responsible for our own actions
Yes, LGBT people should be allowed to marry.
I agree, nobody should act because of expectations of cheering up, acceptance or rejection from other people.
I would add; When SSM becomes the norm the sky will not fall and nobody will care.

I'm sure gays do not care if you, religous zealots or anyone else cheers their life choices. They only ask that their choices be protected under the same constitional rights as every other American. Simple and American enough to understand if you take one's religous beliefs out of the equation.
And for others that think that gays will now ask for sealing in the Mormon temple, that is a separate argument and not applicable in this case. If that ever arises, I'm sure the DN News will cover that with all the vigor of a Mitt Romney occurence.
Conservatives continue to look like bigots on this issue and are forcing millions of potential voters away from the GOP party. For the party's long term stake it needs to focus on important economic issues and not cater to a small, declining voting bloc.

I don't think my beliefs are typical of the segregationists. I think they are more in line with the Founding Fathers. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your insults will not alter the truthfulness of my position. I continue to believe in a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people," without said government being overthrown by one perverted totalitarian judge.

You make your arguments sound reasonable, but after further thought, it becomes
obvious you are cherry-picking bits and pieces of the Constitution in an effort
to support your ideology. You are also doing the same thing using particular
court cases.
Unfortunately, the Constitution has parts that seem to be somewhat open to interpretation. Liberals like to call it "a living document' that should change with the times. Fundamentalists want it left alone to stand for the very principles and reasons it was created for. I support the latter group.
The arguments you make neither sound right, nor feel right. Obama got elected because of his smooth use of verbal rhetoric with little substance. You seem to be a cut from the same cloth. There is a certain art to making wrong sound right and right sound wrong. And you do it well. But in the long run, such reasoning never withstands the tests of time.
God created and ordained marriage for the benefit of mankind. He married Adam and Eve as the basis for family structure in society. He never married or joined Adam and Bob, nor has He ever condoned such a union... or homosexuality itself.

Marriage between same-sex partners is no more immoral for them than is marriage
between opposite-sex partners. For either category to marry contrary to their
natural attractions would be "immoral" in a very real sense.
Would those of you opposing SSM be content to have a gay or lesbian marry your straight son or daughter? Of course not.
Would you be satisfied being deeply in love with someone only to have your state or religion tell you to be celibate, or to marry someone to whom you aren't attracted? Of course not.
Have some sense and compassion, people.

Utah's Amendment passed on the November 2, 2004 hardly 100's of
The Reader said: "In the long way it matters little what the court decides. Marriage of anyone other that male to female will not be recognized after death."
Actually this is a unique idea held by mormons "Till death do you part" so not universally accepted, like your Idea of traditional marriage is based on your religious views not some imaginary universal marriage laws.
God, by the way had a lot more to say about divorce than gays so maybe you should be fighting to out law divorce before you go about changing America into a theocracy.

I have started using the RC1 version of windows 7, and I noticed that for playing videos, Windows 7 does not use ffdshow after I installed it. I narrowed down the issue to the fact that Windows 7 prefers to use the new Windows Media Foundation over DirectShow filters if that is available.
The problem that I have is that the H.264 Windows Media Foundation decoder is stuttering for me, and I would prefer using the decoder from ffdshow.
Does anyone know how to "force" Windows 7 to use the DirectShow filter instead of the Windows Media Foundation one?

Field-Type Artificial Voice
A field-type artificial voice has been developed consisting of a two-way loudspeaker system located in an enclosure with the dimensions of the average human head. The simulated head is supported upon a simulated chest by means of a simulated neck. The frequency response of the artificial voice is within ±2 1/2 dB from 62.5 to 12,000 Hz. The directivity patterns of the artificial voice are practically the same as those of the human voice throughout the frequency range from 62.5 to 12,000 Hz. The field-type artificial voice is used for subjective and objective testing of microphones and rooms for pickup conditions and distances of the kind and magnitude employed in speech reproduction in radio, television, sound motion picture, disk and magnetic tape recording, and sound reenforcement.

DCRM(MSS) draft texts
Current version: Final draft for BSC approval, June 2016
- DCRM(MSS) Final draft (pdf)
Current status
The text is currently being reviewed by the Bibliographic Standards Committee. It has been reviewed by the Library of Congress, the Society of American Archivists, and the ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Description & Access (CC: DA). The DCRM(MSS) wiki is being used to document ongoing progress. If testing the rules for local use, please feel free to ask questions, comment, or send a sample record(s). Contact the editorial team on the wiki or send a message to email@example.com.
History and background
In 2004, the Society of American Archivists adopted as its cataloging standard Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS), which focuses primarily on describing collections. As DACS was implemented in the archival community, a need was felt for a standard that would provide more guidance on the cataloging of individual manuscripts. After some discussion, the Society of American Archivists asked the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee to take on the project of developing such a standard, recognizing that the item-level description of manuscripts would benefit from a standard that bridges the ISBD (International Standard Bibliographic Description) framework of DCRM and the ISAD(G) (General International Standard Archival Description) framework of DACS. Accordingly, the Bibliographic Standards Committee formed an editorial team and charged it to develop the new standard as one of the DCRM suite of manuals. The team is using the text of DCRM(B) as its point of departure, but is drawing on DACS, Descriptive Cataloging of Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, and Early Modern Manuscripts (AMREMM), Archives, Personal Papers and Manuscripts (APPM), and other manuals to help ensure full coverage of the issues raised by individual manuscripts in their various forms.
While DACS focuses mainly on manuscript collections, DCRM(MSS) provides guidance for the cataloging of individual manuscripts, picking up roughly where AMREMM leaves off in the early modern period.
- RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee charge to form the Manuscripts Working Group: MssWG-charge-200708.pdf
DCRM(MSS) covers individual manuscripts on paper, on microfilm, or in the form of digital surrogates. It does not cover manuscript music, manuscript maps, or graphics, all of which are covered by other DCRM manuals currently in development or already published.

..you can make an easy 75% when avid reports robust earnings later this week.No brainer.All longs should go on margin today at bargain prices.Avid's the industry leader, has tremendous tech, and it's management is second to none. Furthermore, everyone is moving to digital and JPM likes the company.This is an automatic homerun as earnings will confirmeven if Avid loses money, it's on the cusp of far greater things.Streets really are paved with gold.Buy as much as you can.
What a pathetic loser.I baited you and you immediately replied like an angry little girl.A man wouldn't waste time with such nonsense...not you though.Yahoo's boards are so much fun.What do you really do for a living anyway? I'm serious, be honest. Forget what I've said about you up to now....who cares, right? Do you really live in a house and not an apartment? Do you live with a parent? Did you go to college?I'd like to know the real DTV, not the little cry baby I turned you into.Forget the past, I didn't mean it.Honest.
Hey sugarr, two more days like this and you'll have broken even on your original bet, eh? Go ahead and make fun of the longs, but many were smart enough to unload some shares above 20, so they're basking in profits while you remain a loser. Your problem is that you think long means you hold a stock for an eternity. But there are a few people on this board who understand when to bail out of Avid. They probably will be looking to get back in if the stock tumbles as quickly as it rose. You, on the other hand, will miss opportunities to profit as you wait for Avid to go to zero. The last three months should have taught you a valuable lesson about playing this stock.I'm sure you'll eventually recover your losses in Avid, but I already have my profit. -- A Happy Long who's on the sidelines for now.
I can tell from reading your posts that you don't know jack about investing.If you've been investing for the last 3 years, you've lost most of your money.I, on the other hand, have made 7 figures over the last decade....by simply understanding macro economic forces and financial fundamentals.Even if your aren't lying about your recent trades, your acumen will certainly culminate in ruin........It's Darwin's theory. Crackpots like you are supposed to be fleeced by Sugarr.

Cervical polyps are fingerlike growths on the lower part of the uterus that connects with the vagina (cervix).
The exact cause of cervical polyps is not known. They may occur with:
Cervical polyps are common. They are often in women over age 20 who have had children. Polyps are rare in young women who have not started having their period (menstruation).
Most women have only one polyp, but some women have two or three.
Polyps do not always cause symptoms. When symptoms are present, they may include:
The health care provider will see smooth, red or purple fingerlike growths on the cervix during a pelvic exam.
A cervical biopsy will be performed. Most of the time, the biopsy will show cells that are consistent with a benign polyp. Rarely there may be abnormal, precancerous, or cancer cells in a polyp.
The health care provider can remove polyps during a simple, outpatient procedure.
The removed polyp tissue should be sent to a lab for further tests.
Most polyps are not cancerous (benign) and are easy to remove. Polyps do not grow back most of the time. Women who have polyps are at risk of growing more polyps.
There may be bleeding and slight cramping for a few days after removal of a polyp. Some cervical cancers may first appear as a polyp. Certain uterine polyps may be associated with uterine cancer.
Call your health care provider if you have:
Call your doctor or nurse to schedule regular gynecological exams. Ask how often you should receive a Pap smear .
See your health care provider to treat infections as soon as possible.

Lighting Up Introverted Students, Inside & Out of the Classroom (560)
Amma Marfo, M.Ed, author of "The I's Have It: Reflections on Introversion in Student Affairs" and "Light It Up: Engaging Introverted Student Leaders"
The topic of introversion has been an increasingly popular one since the release of Susan Cain's wildly popular Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. However, many educators and other personnel that work with students have yet to learn what that means for the processes, services, and learning experiences that students go through on campus.
Amma Marfo has spent several years exploring how colleges and universities work for introverts, and will be sharing that knowledge — as well as how to utilize it in your interactions with students — with you. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer idea of what introversion is (and what it isn't), what it looks like when working with students, and how to ensure that your common practices are engaging all students — introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts alike.

Slow Looking (538)
Christian McEwan, author of World Enough & Time: On Creativity and Slowing Down, now in its sixth edition, and Sparks from the Anvil: The Smith College Poetry Interviews, which came out in April 2015 with Bauhan Publishing
The nineteenth century artist John Ruskin encouraged all his students to draw, even if they weren't especially good at it. "The greatest thing a human being ever does in this world is to SEE something, and tell what [they] saw in a plain way." For most of us, such clarity of focus has become increasingly rare. There is so much to see, and it passes by so fast, on the tiny screens of our digital cameras and the larger ones of our personal computers, on TVs and videos and flashing billboards, that simply looking has become a luxury. This two hour workshop will give us the time to do just that — exploring the glories of the Smith Art Museum at our own slow pace, writing and making notes — and then gathering to share what we've discovered. In the dark of the New England winter, the warmth and color of the paintings will be especially precious.

Living in the past obviously becomes a bad thing, but it's laughable how the entire 49ers fan base is labeled as living in the past.
So a bunch of idiotic trolls post "LOL 5 RINGS" online, and all of a sudden every 49er fan is regarded the same way?
It's been said 1,000 times, but the only people who complain about other fans talking about the past are fans whose team has never won anything. Every team has idiotic troll fans, but nobody labels every Seahawk fan to be a dense moron (for the record Lisa and Zag are probably the best posters as opposing fans).
The problem with the other side of things, (focusing way too much on RIGHT NOW) is that those fans have a limited perspective. For example, how many Seahawk fans regard Chancellor's hit on Vernon to be "OMG BEST HIT EVER"
We lost two blowout games in their house, and all of a sudden "the 49ers can't win in Seattle". Seattle has had great success in the years, there's no question about that. The 49ers failed to get the job done in the Super Bowl, but if they had, THIS CURRENT 49ers team would have matched the Seahawks entire history as far as what they've accomplished (three total championship games and a Super Bowl win).

I am using v1.1.1 of the WordPress.com stats plugin. Since I installed it (on the 30th of January), the statistics I see on wordpress.com have been odd, to say the least.
I realise that what I see on wordpress.com stats does not include my own page views, so those stats ought to be lower than the total views.
Here are the stats thus-far for February via wordpress.com: http://barrdear.com/john/stuff/wordpress_stats.jpg
Here are the stats for the same period from my host: http://barrdear.com/john/stuff/site_stats.jpg
For example, wordpress.com thinks that my "Beaten to the punch" post has seen 13 hits, but my host reports 3 views (1 entry, 1 exit).
What appears (to me) to be happening is that wordpress.com is recording hits to several posts against just one post.
As another example, my site gets aggregated here: http://ozpolitics.info/feeds. When someone clicks on the link on that page, they come through to the post-specific page on my site. WordPress.com stats are recognising ozpolitics.info/feeds as the referrer, but not the post-specific page as a hit. Here is a specific example: http://barrdear.com/john/stuff/stat_inconsistency.jpg
Notice that yesterday I got two referrals from ozpolitics.info/feeds. I only had two articles listed on the ozpolitics feed yesterday: "Idle Curiosity" and "Sweating the small stuff", neither of which is listed as getting a hit in yesterday's posts.

Current data protection technologies such as those based on public-key encryption and broadcast encryption focus on the secure control and protection of data. Although these protection schemes are effective and mathematically sound, they are susceptible to systematic attacks that utilize any underlying platform weakness, bypassing the cryptographic strengths of the actual schemes. Thus, ensuring that the computing platform supports the cryptographic data protection layers is a critical issue. The Cell Broadband Engine™ (Cell/B.E.) processor security architecture has three core features that are well suited for this purpose. It provides hardware-enforced process isolation in which code and data can execute in physically isolated memory space. It also provides the ability to perform hardware-supported authentication of any software stack (i.e., "secure boot") during runtime. Finally, the architecture provides a hardware key to act as the root of an encryption chain. Data encrypted directly or indirectly by this key can be decrypted and provided only to an application that is running in the isolated memory and that has been verified. This significantly reduces an adversary's chances of manipulating software to expose the key that is fundamental to a data protection or authentication scheme. Furthermore, it provides a foundation for an application to attest itself to a remote party by demonstrating access to a secret.

Do you love going to the movies but hate the lines? Wouldn't you rather have that amazing quality of sound that vibrates right though your chest in the comfort of your own home, with your own freshly buttered popcorn and your own cushy couch where you're within your own right to put your own feet up? If you are looking for that in home cinema experience and want to take it to the next level you will need a top notch home theatre system that will really blow your mind.
Home Theatre Systems are just as important as the receiver because they provide the quality of sound and audio of your movie, soundtrack or television show. It's essential that you purchase the home theatre system that suites your needs as a buyer; some factors may include it's size, shape, and mounting and setup style. Home Theatre Systems can vary from being 3 to 5 feet tall, they can be floor standing, bookshelf designs or mounted in-wall configurations and can be a multi-channel surround sound system or a standard stereo system. This gives an insight into the variety available to you as a consumer, and this Bing Lee buying guide aims to help you make the best buying decision. Home theatre systems can transform your experience of watching TV or listening to music at home and they provide the most immersive element of home entertainment.
At Bing Lee we sell surround sound systems, which differs from a stereo system which uses only two channels, a left and a right. Surround sound systems on the other hand uses several channels as well as a subwoofer to project sound to the listener from an array of angles. Therefore, surround sound systems are composed by several different types of speakers, which you can see when viewing home theatre systems on our website or in store. This buying guide will outline the features and purpose of these different speakers so that you can get a better understanding of what you may be buying.
Sub-woofers are not just for P platers showing off their "gangsta" beats and disturbing the neighbourhood. Home theatre systems may provide one or two subwoofers depending on what they offer. A subwoofer is a dedicated low-frequency speaker cabinet, which is usually self-amplified, and creates the deep, rich bass that is too often missing from a standard speaker. They are intended to produce the deep notes of the musical spectrum, and the low energy frequency of home theatre soundtracks. A subwoofers presence also in a home theatre system also allows the receiver or amplifier to create mid-bass and mid-range notes with more quality because the burden of producing the deep bass is eliminated. They create a cleaner and richer sound, which enhances the audio experience ten fold.
This element of a home theatre system mostly reproduces the dialogue of an audiovisual program and those other sound effects which are meant to come to the front of the room. They are generally positioned close to the screen of the TV or computer to give the effect that the sound that comes from the centre channel speaker is from the screen itself. The centre channel speaker also anchors the sound field.
These speakers of a home theatre system provide the majority of sound affects to the listener/viewer. The front left and front right speakers are crucial as they reproduce a variety of frequencies, whether they be the low bass sounds in music or high tones in certain instruments. They deliver the essential music and sound effects to enhance your audiovisual experience and so should be of high quality.
The surround left and right speakers mainly reproduce the surround music and effects, inherent in the surround sound system phenomena. They deliver similar frequencies to the front speakers, but can be of lower quality if need be as they are less essential. They are central to the immersive experience of home theatre systems, and are conducive to making the listener/viewer feel like they are part of the music or video.
5.1 surround sound systems consist of the centre channel speaker, front left and right speakers, and two rear surround speakers. A 7.1 system, on the other hand, adds two more rear centre speakers, and sometimes can use these two extra speakers as front height speakers. Overall, a 5.1 system uses 6 channels (that feed into 6 speakers) to create sound, whilst a 7.1 system uses 8 channels. The two extra channels of sound help to deliver better audio quality, however the difference is not enormous. When choosing between the two you may want to consider pricing differences, the quality of sound you require and also the amount of space you have in the room you intend to put the home theatre system.
Wireless and Bluetooth features are increasingly important in the modern world. This ability means that you are able to connect a smartphone or any other electronic device instantly to reproduce the sound they create. This feature gives you an ease of use as well as flexibility in connecting a variety of audiovisual electronics.
This acronym may seem foreign to you when you are investigating the specifications of different home theatre systems, but it refers to one-touch music streaming from a smartphone, which is an awesome feature to look for when buying a system.
Who doesnt love home appliances that have added options? Some systems may offer specific sound modes depending on what you are listening to or watching; for example football, music arena and concert hall modes which are featured in the Sony systems. This may be considered if you have specific preferences that may fall into these categories and hence further improve sound quality.
What's the point in watching a 3D movie if the sound doesn't match what you're seeing and sounds as if that explosion is coming from a completely different angle? As the market for 3D TVs increases, it is important that your home theatre system matches the 3D viewing experience. Some systems offer genuine 3D audio; which translates to delivering precisely located sound. The sound that is reproduced seems to emanate from their visual locations. The sound does not just come vertically or horizontally, but also depth-wise. This can differ your cinematic experience from being a spectacle that you observe to an experience that you are immersed into.

129th Registration and Preliminary Events Calendar Are Live
As preparations for the 129th AES Convention enter the final weeks of a full year of planning, Convention Co-Chairs Valerie Tyler and Jim McTigue have announced that the Preliminary Calendar of Events is now live at http://www.aes.org/events/129/ The convention is set for Nov. 4-7 at SF's Moscone Center.
"The Preliminary Calendar is a user-friendly, full-color timetable of events, presenters, and drop-down abstracts describing papers, workshops and tutorials," Tyler reports. "Fine-tuning will continue for some time to come, with program changes, including last-minute shifts in times, locations and participants," Tyler adds. "However, the Preliminary Calendar will provide an excellent touchstone for attendees looking to develop their own preliminary schedules."
"The 129th Convention Committee has developed a remarkable program," said AES Executive Director Roger Furness. "Their tireless, entirely volunteer efforts cannot be over-emphasized. The countless hours they've devoted to planning Broadcast, Live Sound, Platinum, Historical, Master Class, Student and Special Events, Workshops, Papers, Tutorials and Technical Tours have produced a not-to-be-missed four-day event.
"The AES objective of remaining indispensible to next-generation attendees is exemplified by the rapidly shifting issue of technology design. To that end, we have dedicated a special track to the field of Product Design," Furness adds. "Engineers, broadcasters, sound and music producers and students will find a concentrated program designed to provide in-depth awareness of this essential arena."
"Our Exhibitors' list includes many of our industry's leading technology innovators," concludes 129th Committee Co-Chair Jim McTigue. "AES Conventions remain the primary venue to see and discuss new gear, and, an irreplaceable forum for students, educators, technology designers, manufacturers and users, to exchange ideas. The 129th Convention looms as a strong candidate for a new standard of excellence in this mission."

The plugin basically enables post on resources page.
I presume we are very close to get this working fully.
Support thread for Resources plugin is - http://freedomonlineservices.net/resources/homegrown/resources-plugin/#comment-682
I thought why not take help from Infinity theme author's as well...
Kindly help on this ...the main issue now is just that the resource page does not show up completely.
However the posts made on resources page resolve successfully.
Many Thanks

A site I have in development (WP 3.5.1) uses both Relevanssi 3.1.4 and WP Glossary 1.5.1. When I do a global site search (no parameters, no specific filters) the results are great but also show one WP glossary term. Specifically, the one listed last alphabetically.
If I create a new item in WP Glossary called zzzzzz (I'm not kidding), a search results page of Relevanssi álways shows zzzzz as one of the results (usually top 5).
Excluding the alphabetically last item of WP Glossary does not work, then the second last item will always be shown. If anyone has a fix, or at least a vague direction of where I should look, I would be so grateful. Its not a big issue, but its puzzling and annoying.

#1 Oliver- Fantastic Name. I like it A LOT more than any of the other options. My vote definitely goes here.
#2 Gavin- Solid name. I like it. But doesn't work well with Ava.
#3 Hudson- I'm pretty mediocre about it, but I think it could grow on me.
#4 Hunter- Hmm.. maybe it could grow on me. Feel a bit last-namey to me though. Archer would be a cool alternative. Or what about Bowman?
#5 Jackson- I've never been a fan of this as a FN. Jack is pretty cool, but I don't like Jackson much. Unless he actually is the 'son of Jack', than it'd be cool.
