On my classic gaming thanks to Sonic's Genesis Collection on the PS3, really nice. And I'm playing Thor and MNR's on the PS3, they're pretty fun though and going through my back log of games I haven't played, didn't know I had that many XD. And I've managed to catch up on drawing stuff, and some tv and just pondering about life. Pretty much it.
Me TooPosted: May 13, 2011 12:00AM PST by Nosmas
I'm also trying to catch up with Assassin's Creed 2, Heavy Rain, and Infamous (not really with Infamous cause I got tired of it...). I say trying because I've been trying to catch up on reading some books, and writing too.
Just not enought time in the day.

But I'm dropping everything I'm doing next Tuesday, once L.A. Noire is released. I've been looking forward to that for too long, and I don't need PSN to get the most out of it (well, except for the pre-order DLC...).

In Which We Have Fond Memories Of Almost Nothing
Amplification of the Senses
by ELEANOR MORROW
Growing Up Fisher
creator DJ Nash
Is the idea of a blind person doing something with difficulty that other people do with ease somehow amusing to you? If so, you are in for a treat. At one time, it seemed like the only reliable source of blind jokes was the Monica Lewinsky scandal, but Monica has moved on, I have moved on, most blind people presumably have moved on. The one exception is the creators of the situation comedy Growing Up Fisher, who seem to derive great joy from watching Mel Fisher (a way too goofy J.K. Simmons) do such sighted people tasks as standing on a roof in the middle of the night, cutting down a tree, or walking without assistance.
Based on a true story crows the opening chyron of this NBC multi-camera affair. The least plausible part of the entire show is the sex-crazed 11 year old son (Eli Baker) of the blind man constantly asking his dad how he can best get intimate with a woman. The entire arrangement is a bit unorthodox, but perhaps not as orthodox as the fact that Jenna Elfman's face has not aged in any way over the past twenty years.
Joyce Fisher (Elfman) is a lovely woman who the show takes great pains to point out what a pathetic mess she is. Even though she's a charming blonde with a questionable interest in the works of L. Ron Hubbard the only date she can get is with a grocery store clerk. Meanwhile, her blind and ancient husband has his pick of the local women.
He never let the fact that he couldn't see prevent him from doing anything. These words are uttered almost a million times in Growing Up Fisher. Mel's wacky shenanigans seems enough to merit a separation on their own - once, he actually drives a car with his daughter as a passenger — but the reason Joyce really ended the relationship was to "find herself." You will not be surprised to learn that the most entertaining/offensive part of the show is young Henry Fisher's Asian best friend, who is named Runyen and is strangely a preteen homosexual caricature. I guess kill two birds with one stone?
The success of certain family oriented comedies like Modern Family and The Middle has increased the demand for the portrayal of children. The breeding kennels on which such child actors are produced have become regrettably depleted. Fred Savage had a certain ethnic flair that is lacking from these roundly nondenominational homes. Since representing any specific background with its own idiosyncrasies would be theoretically alienating to some viewers, everyone is just a WASP.
Growing Up Fisher lapses into a Jason Bateman voiceover at every opportunity, which is exactly what no one ever asked for. Moreover, there is not even any nostalgia being recalled — the show basically takes place in the present, which means the disembodied Bateman voice is from the future. Instead of telling us what the world has become decades from hence and what happened to North West, he has to continually inform us about how zany his dad is all the time.
Writing for children is very difficult, and although it is somewhat plausible that an 11 year old could be obsessed with the older girls in his apartment building, it is very unlikely he would know what to do with them should they consent to his plans. Even less realistic is the idea that he would rely on his father for advice every step of the way.
Growing Up Fisher was originally conceived with Parker Posey playing Jenna Elfman's role, and publicity photos were even shot with the two as a couple:
Somehow, this throws everything into further doubt. The same boy's mother could be a striking, tall blonde woman who loves terrible science fiction, or she could be the original Party Girl and nothing else in the world would be any different. It is indeed something of a mystery how a bald lawyer and a blonde woman could father two semitic looking children. I believe that anything that comes out of Parker Posey is wonderful.
Looking back, I sometimes tongue a scone and think of what The Wonder Years was actually about. Like Growing Up Fisher, the voice-over really sucked, the lessons and moralities were incredibly blase and obvious, and the setting was nondescript and Midwestern. What actually made The Wonder Years interesting was that despite the central dullness of American life, events of great tragedy and depth surrounded the mundane: Winnie's brother was KIA in Vietnam, fathers got in financial trouble, couples broke up unexpectedly and the repercussions were completely real.
In comparison, these vapid family sitcoms deal with nothing in the real world that might alienate their audience; Growing Up Fisher feels like sketch comedy in comparison. Now Winnie has a Maxim spread, Dan Laurila was arrested after beating up Dan Hedaya for stealing his look, and Fred Savage straight up murdered that guy.
That's not all that is different today. Children aren't even really children — they're just adults-in-training, and the training extends almost interminably, until the day they make television shows about how fucking precocious they were. You shouldn't have let your blind dad fix that satellite dish, buddy. For Christ's sake, Winnie's brother was only a child.

'Sorry, Will Self, but you ARE a Jew' ran the Jewish Chronicle headline a fortnight ago. And with his trademark stinging erudition, Geoffrey Alderman used his column that week to explain to Self why being born to a Jewish mother makes him as Yiddishe as the chasidim of Stamford Hill - whether the celebrated writer of fiction and journalist likes it or not.
I know how lucky I am that my name is now associated with success thanks to the global popularity of my books on baby weaning. But, believe me, it hasn't been easy, I have walked hand-in-hand with terrible disappointment on my journey. Which is why I think I've figured out precisely what makes a business successful.
While London may never hit the heady heights of New York, the city's skyline has transformed itself in the past few decades into a gleaming triumph of spires.
It's difficult to admit but let's face it we all do it — we walk past beggars on the street as if they don't exist. It's as if we're too embarrassed to confront them. The same goes for people with disabilities. Some find it a challenge to engage with them, worried they might say the wrong thing, react in the wrong way or cause unnecessary upset.
Man asks for woman's hand in marriage. Ta dah! Not exactly the most groundbreaking of headlines, but when that man is heartthrob thespian Benedict Cumberbatch, newsrooms across the globe go into overdrive to fuel the information frenzy about his intended, for his legions of heart-broken fans.
Of course, it could have been me, they all sigh. Actually it could have been me.
In recent years Joseph Perella, a giant of the American private equity world, has become obsessed with Italy's history. The periods that normally attract attention, such as the Renaissance or Roman empire, are not what interests Perella.
The change in attitudes towards sexuality in recent times has been extraordinary. For instance, anyone middle-aged or older can remember when, both legally and socially, homosexuals were treated as pariahs. This year, homosexual marriage became legal in England, Scotland and Wales.
Do you remember Harry Melvin? I introduced the 89-year-old to Jewish Chronicle readers earlier this year. Actually, his real name was Malcom Kayne. A war veteran, who climbed on to the beaches of Normandy -with his tefillin strapped under his helmet - fighting for our freedom.
But war wasn't his biggest battle; it was loneliness.
Ed Miliband wants to become Prime Minister following the next general election.
Supermodel, businesswoman, former girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio. So how does Bar Refaeli see herself? Apparently, as just your average tomboy, happiest in T-shirt and jeans and enjoying "a beer with my family". And "not a bikini kind of girl". She also loves London, which she has been visiting since childhood and where friends of her extended family live.

Big Sur traces the exploits, thoughts and feelings of a narrator, Jack Duluoz, in the grip of a series of mental disruptions induced by alcohol. Duluoz is depicted as careering out of control, as he experiences ever more severe bouts of delirium tremens each time he comes to the end of a drinking bout in a prolonged series over the six-week period covered by the book. A friend, Lorenz Monsanto, has offered him the use of an isolated cabin in Raton Canyon, Big Sur. Duluoz travels West to take up this offer, yet, instead of quietly slipping off to the cabin, he instead broadcasts his arrival, precipitating an enormous drinking binge in San Francisco. He finally makes it to the cabin, stays briefly and returns there twice, but on e…

Women Earn Win and Tie in Duluth
The St. Cloud State University women's hockey team hit the road again this weekend for a WCHA series with the Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth. The Huskies were hungry for more conference points and fed the void taking home four of six points.
The Huskies got the weekend started Friday night in the second period as Julia Gilbert netted a goal just as the Husky power play expired to make the score 1-0. Before the buzzer in the second has ended the Huskies scored three more goals to make the tally 4-0.
Early in the third period the Bulldogs scored to make it 4-1 but SCSU battled on. The Huskies goaltender Julie Friend was solid between the pipes and helped SCSU skate to a 4-1 victory and earns three WCHA points. Friend made 52 saves in the victory and has earned the title of Defensive Player of the Week by the WCHA.
Saturday's game was a closer contest with no score after one period of play. The second period would see a surge in special team action. The Bulldogs scored with the advantage to make it a 1-0 game. The Huskies were unable to capitalize on multiple chances before the horn sounded for intermission.
The third period was much like the previous two featuring back and forth play. It wasn't until the 19:38 mark that the Huskies, Julia Gilbert would score. Gilbert's goal ruined the Bulldogs hope of a regulation victory with 22 seconds left. The game went through overtime without a winner. Minnesota Duluth prevailed in the shoot out to earn the extra conference point.
With the successful weekend the women's team is now 1-6-3 overall on the season with a 1-5-2 conference record. They host the University of Minnesota this weekend in a pair of games. Both start at 3:07 p.m. Listen to the Friday afternoon game on 88.1 FM KVSC. Saturday will be game two of the series at 3:07 p.m. listen to the game on the KVSC Sports Stream.

Impact Of Insurance For Operational Risk: Is It Worthwhile To Insure Or Be Insured For Severe Losses?
Under the Basel II standards, the Operational Risk (OpRisk) advanced measurement approach allows a provision for reduction of capital as a result of insurance mitigation of up to 20%. This paper studies different insurance policies in the context of capital reduction for a range of extreme loss models and insurance policy scenarios in a multi-period, multiple risk settings. A Loss Distributional Approach (LDA) for modeling of the annual loss process, involving homogeneous compound Poisson processes for the annual losses, with heavy-tailed severity models comprised of ?-stable severities is considered.

My hamstring won't heal!
I pulled my hamstring in June, right where the top of the ham hits the inner glute--not quite in the crotch but almost there. It wasn't bad, but I decided to take time off to let it heal.

Reports of 'flopping' Lady Gaga Summerfest show 'ridiculous,' says Live Nation exec
Reports of struggling ticket sales for Lady Gaga's upcoming tour--in particular her Summerfest headlining show June 26--have prompted a Live Nation executive to speak out to Billboard about the "ridiculous" claims.
"The run with Gaga over the last two tours has been incredibly successful, and this one is shaping up no differently," Arthur Fogel, chairman of the company's global touring division, producers of Gaga's forthcoming artRave: The ARTPOP Ball tour, told Billboard's Ray Waddell. Fogel added that the 29 North American shows currently on sale have grossed $26 million in ticket revenue, with 80 percent of all tickets for North America and Europe dates already sold. »Read Full Article(2)

Daniel Wayne Cook Might Actually Be Executed This Time; The Juice Scheduled for August 8
Let's try this one again: Daniel Wayne Cook has a date with death.
After reaching into the excuse bag over and over again to avoid execution -- with the U.S. Supreme Court taking the bait at the last minute more than a year ago -- Cook's execution now is scheduled for August 8, after the high court decided not to side with him.
Cook's supposed to get the state-sponsored juicing for murdering two men in Lake Havasu City in 1987, whom Cook raped and tortured before strangling them to death.
According to his Department of Corrections profile, on July 19, 1987, Cook stole some money from his roommate Carlos Cruz-Ramos. When Cruz-Ramos began searching the apartment for the money, Cook and his other roommate, John Matzke, tied Cruz-Ramos to a chair and began beating him with a pipe.

Cook also cut Cruz-Ramos with a knife, sodomized him, and burned his genitals with cigarettes. After a few hours of that, Matzke and Cook crushed Cruz-Ramos' throat with the pipe.
When an acquaintance showed up at the apartment, Cook forced him upstairs and showed him Cruz-Ramos' body, before Cook and Matzke tied him to a chair.
Matzke went to sleep while Cook sodomized the man. When Cook was finished, he woke Matzke and the two men strangled him to death with a bed sheet.
Matzke pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and testified against Cook.
That said, with nearly 24 years of experience on death row, Cook's tested numerous excuses in efforts to get out of being executed.
Some of the claims include post-traumatic-stress disorder from being sexually abused by family members, brain damage, an incompetent lawyer, mental illness, and others.
His first federal petition contained 21 different claims against his trial and sentence.
With Cook's execution scheduled for August 8, that puts him second in line, behind Samuel Villegas Lopez, who's set to take off in a couple weeks.

I went from a 7.5 to an 8 after DS was born, and have stayed an 8. I gained 20 lbs that pregnancy, lost it by 6 weeks, and tehn lost another 25 before TTC again. We'll see what happens this time!

I gained 45 lbs last time. Carried lots of water weight. Lost 65 lbs total after delivery (over a yr and a half). My feet used to be 8.5-9, now 9-9.5. Weight loss had no effect on shoe size. The area around the balls of my feet have widened/flattened.

Garcia Plans For Speed: Mayweather Not That Strong
By Edward Chaykovsky
Trainer Robert Garcia admits he made a miscalculation for the first fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs). Maidana came in extra heavy, to have a size advantage and because they anticipated Mayweather to be much stronger than he actually was. Because of the extra weight, Maidana (35-4, 31KOs) wasn't as a fast he wanted to be and he tired in the second half of the fight.
For the rematch, scheduled for September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Maidana will be lighter when he enters the ring. By shedding some weight, Garcia expects his boxer to be faster, stronger and more energized in the second half.
"I'm going to try to bring him into the ring at a different weight this time. Not as heavy. I think that was a mistake on my behalf. Since it was the first time fighting Mayweather, we wanted to take any advantage," Garcia said.
"Floyd is not as strong as we thought, so we are not making that mistake again. Chino would have been a lot faster and a lot stronger if he would have walked into that ring lighter. He would have had the same energy he had in the first six rounds."

Chapter 12 : Christmas
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 93
Background: Font color:
Many of you, I'm sure, are anxious to know when this story is ending. As I have it planned now, the New Year's Party should occur in either the next chapter or the one after that, so this story should be finished in two to four chapters (though don't hold me to this! You never know how things can change…). Anyway, you get an H/Hr squee scene in this chapter, so I hope that tides you over. I promise I'll do my best to get the next one out sooner!
Oh! On another note, during my writer's block, I sketched pictures of Hermione's/Ginny's New Year Dress, as well as Mona and Lia's Christmas dresses, and I also created a family tree for the Granger/Howard line. If anyone's interested, I'll scan/upload everything to my livejournal when I post the final chapter.
On another note, I know that many people are coming off a Deathly Hallows high. Nonetheless, please refrain from discussing the book in reviews. Many people haven't read the book yet, and it would be unfair to spoil them. If you have any questions for me concerning DH, please go to my "meet Hermione_Crookshanks" page and ask me there (though please SPOILER CODE your questions!!!).
Now, on to the chapter…
Why I have the right to be arrogant
By Ginny Weasley
1. Let's face it – I'm always right. Always. Name one time that I wasn't, and I'll bat bogey hex you. Don't worry – I've never been wrong.
2. My meddling has finally gotten one couple together. And about time, too! A certain brother of mine was driving me absolutely mental with his nonsense.
3. Even though Harry and Hermione have refused to write me (well, Hermione did write me, but her letter said, "Not going to happen; leave us be"), I just know that things are heating up between them. I mean, honestly, things would heat up between Malfoy and Hermione if they were stuck in a house together for that long (Merlin, that visual is going to haunt me for a few weeks).
4. I can get my ex-boyfriend to follow my bidding, even when we parted on negative terms. Now that is power.
5. I'm me. And yes, that might sound a tad conceited, but just wait a few years. Looking back, you'll realise just how amazing I really am.
6. Conceited is a synonym for arrogant. I am conceited, therefore I can be arrogant. And there's no way you can possibly disagree with this statement. And yes, I know this for a fact. Just like I know that Hermione will be forking over fifty galleons very soon.
"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle."
~Amy Bloom
As soon as Harry and Hermione reached the second floor, high pitched giggles reached their ears. Hermione's face lit up at these sounds.
"Mona and Lia," she said, more to herself than to Harry. She glanced over at Harry, and suddenly her expression became urgent. "Oh! I can't believe I forgot!" she exclaimed as they began walking down the last flight of stairs. "No one in my family, other than Mum and Dad of course, knows that I'm a witch. They just think I attend this prestigious boarding school."
Harry raised an eyebrow at this new information. "Why didn't you tell them?"
"Mum thought it would frighten Lia and Mona, and she's right. All of the stories that say witches are evil?" Hermione shrugged good-naturedly. "I'm not ashamed of being a witch, if that's what you think. You know that. But I just don't think my relatives would understand. And imagine asking two little girls of Lia and Mona's age to keep such information secret! It'd be impossible. So no mentions of curses, or spells, or he— " Hermione's eyes widened as two girls ran up the last few steps and flung themselves into her arms. "—lo! Lia! Mona!" Hermione exclaimed, hugging the two.
Once Hermione had released the girls from her embrace, the smallest exclaimed, "My-knee!" The little girl's brown wisps of curls framed her face, and her blue eyes lit up in excitement. "My-knee! My-knee! I missed you!"
"I missed you too, Lia," Hermione smiled gently. "And look at you and your pretty frock!" Lia gave a small spin, showing off her maroon, velvet dress and many petticoats.
"Mummy bought it for her," the older girl, who looked to be about seven or eight, explained. Harry deduced that this was Mona. She had strawberry blonde hair, which was divided into two plaits, and eyes that matched her sister's. "And this one, too!" Mona pointed to her own frock, which was similar to Lia's, but a deep blue.
"Did your mum give those to you as an early Christmas present?" Hermione asked as she led the girls into the living room.
"No," Mona replied, wide eyed. "We saw them in the store and she said we could have them."
"Oh." Hermione's tone was slightly clipped, and she looked up to exchange a look with Harry. Clearly she disapproved of her Aunt spoiling her cousins.
"Hermione," came a voice when the four entered the room.
"Aunt Anna," Hermione smiled. She walked over and gave her aunt a hug as Harry had his first view of the woman who gave Mrs. Granger a run for her money. Immediately he recognized that Mona took after her mother. Hermione's aunt had strawberry blonde hair as well, although hers was considerably thicker than her daughter's. Her tresses were pulled back with two clips, and they fell down her back in gentle waves. Although she looked considerably younger (Harry guessed Mrs. Granger was at least ten years her senior), Hermione's aunt still looked remarkably like her sister, right down to the brown eyes, and Harry could've sworn the two had the same smile.
"Anna, this is Harry Potter Hermione's boy— "
"My friend, Aunt Anna," Hermione interrupted, glancing at her mother warningly. Aunt Anna, however, simply raised an eyebrow at this statement, as if to say, "Honestly, Hermione. You're fooling no one." "One of my best friends since I was twelve."
"Right," Mrs. Granger said, suppressing a smirk. "And this, Harry, is my sister: Anna Howard. And this," Mrs. Granger continued, pointing to a man to her right, "is my brother-in-law, Andrew Howard."
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Howard. Mr. Howard." Harry nodded at the man.
"Best friends for six years, hmm?" Mrs. Howard asked Harry. "Well isn't that charming." She smiled at Harry, a smile that clearly said, "I have your number," and Harry could only smile nervously back. He felt as if she was appraising him, and he couldn't say that he was exactly happy with this situation. Perhaps Hermione sensed this uneasiness, as she quickly asked Harry if he would help her set the table for breakfast.
"Oh, we already ate before we came, didn't we darlings?" Mrs. Howard looked over expectantly at her children.
"Yes, mum," Mona chimed in, as Lia was busy playing with one of the ornaments on the Christmas tree. "I'm not hungry. Thank you, Auntie Lizzie."
"I wish you would've informed me earlier," Mrs. Granger told her sister coolly. "I wouldn't have bothered buying food for eight." Harry looked nervously between the two sisters, wondering if the mild tension would explode into a heated argument.
"Oh Lizzie, dear, I'm sorry," Mrs. Howard apologized breezily. "Lia's developed some strange allergies and you know me. Always the overprotective mother."
"Well, you won't mind if we move this conversation to the dining room while we eat, would you Anna?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Of course not. Come on girls." Mrs. Howard ushered Lia and Mona into the next room, and Mr. Howard followed her. Harry got the impression that Mr. Howard was an incredibly meeker version of Mr. Granger. He was yet to say a word, and he followed his wife as if she was going to yell at him if he did otherwise.
"Well, this is going to be interesting," Mrs. Granger sighed. "I'm so sorry about that, Harry. Anna can be quite a handful."
"Don't worry about it, Mrs. Granger," Harry replied.
"Yes, mum, don't fret. We can handle Aunt Anna. After all, we've managed to stay sane while living with you." Hermione looked up at her mother innocently.
"Oh aren't you the comedian," her mother laughed. "You can use that humour to entertain yourself while you set the table."
"I'll help," Harry offered immediately. The last thing he wanted was to be in a room alone with the Grangers, even for a second. His last encounter with them still had him scarred.
Half an hour later, Harry, the Grangers, and the Howards (who appeared to still be hungry, despite Mrs. Howard's claims) sat at the dining room table, feasting on various foods and talking animatedly. Mrs. Howard was incredibly interested in Harry and Hermione's school, especially Harry's experiences there.
"So Harry," asked Mrs. Howard as she placed a few pieces of fruit onto her plate. "Which is your favourite class?"
"Defence Against—"
"Predators!" Hermione cut him off. "Defence Against Predators."
"That's an odd name," Mrs. Howard commented, looking strangely between the two.
"Well, it's always wise to know how to protect yourself. Don't you agree, Harry?" Hermione gave Harry a pointed look, and he quickly nodded his head.
"It's a very useful course. Much better than po…er, I mean, chemistry." Hermione smiled approvingly at Harry's codename.
"I was never too fond of the sciences myself," Mrs. Howard said. "So, Hermione, to which universities have you applied?"
Hermione choked on her eggs as her eyes grew in horror.
"You have started, haven't you, dear?"
"Well, you see," Hermione answered, her voice slightly higher than normal as she attempted to come up with a proper lie, "at our school we get the credits for uni, so we, er, we get a uni degree in addition when we graduate."
Mrs. Howard blinked at her. Before she could ask more questions, however, the phone rang.
"Oh I'll get it," Mrs. Granger sighed, running into the kitchen. Mrs. Howard's attention immediately turned towards her sister as she signalled the room to quiet down. Clearly she was as nosy as Ginny.
"Hello, Mum!" Mrs. Granger's voice exclaimed. "How are you? … What? … Is he okay? … Well thank goodness. How did it happen? … Mum! You're supposed to be watching after him. You know what the doctor said! … Fine, fine. I understand. … Yes, well, I'll be sure to tell Anna and Hermione. … Yes, we'll be fine without you. … Mum, I can cook the Christmas meal. I do it every year. … Yes, I promise you, everything is under control. … Yes. … Tell Dad I love him and to get better. … I love you." Mrs. Granger walked back into the room.
"Well, Dad broke his hip," she sighed, sitting next to her husband. "So they won't be able to make it."
"But Grandfather's all right?" Hermione asked, concern tearing at her voice.
"Yes, he's fine," Mrs. Granger said with a wave of her hand. "Sore, but fine."
"Well, at least Aunt Sylvie's still coming."
Mr. and Mrs. Granger exchanged looks.
"What?" Hermione asked defensively. Mrs. Granger bit her lip. "Did I say something?"
"Aunt Sylvie's not coming this year, Hermione," Mr. Granger told her gently.
Hermione's face fell at this news. She adored her father's sister. She always broke the Howard-Granger tension. "What? Why not?"
"Apparently she wanted to spend Christmas with my father, seeing as she hasn't seen him in such a long time. But because my stepmother's dragged him to spend Christmas with her children…"
"They're spending Christmas in the States?" Hermione asked. She gave an exasperated sigh and set her fork down. "Well then, I suppose I'll have to ship her gift over, won't I?"
"Gift?" Lia's eyes lit up as she uttered this sacred word. "Is it time for presents?"
Mrs. Granger turned and sighed at her daughter. "Now you've done it."
Ten minutes later, the Howard-Granger crew, and Harry, settled down in the living room, Lia and Mona unable to contain their excitement. Gifts were handed out, and everyone quickly began the process of unwrapping.
Hermione was rather proud of her gift choices this year. For her mother, she had picked out a gorgeous pair of earrings that she had seen in a small jewellery shop over the summer holidays, and she had chosen a book on new dentistry techniques for her father. Hermione gave Lia a picture book and Mona the complete collection of the Chronicles of Narnia, which she had read at Mona's age.
Her own presents were equally satisfying, save for Ginny's. Ginny had gotten both Harry and Hermione a book entitled How to Get Past Denial. Mrs. Granger didn't even bother to hide her smirk as the two teen-agers quickly hid the books behind them. Ron, on the other hand, gave Hermione Hogwarts: A History – A Revised Edition, with a letter attached that read, "Happy Christmas. I know how obsessed you are with this thing. Hope you enjoy it. Just don't ever mention this book to me again. Ever." Hermione smiled and shook her head at Ron's note, then quickly hid the present next to Ginny's – she didn't want to try and mugglify Hogwarts to her relatives.
Hermione's mum had gotten her a dress, which Hermione had not yet opened, fearing that the dress would be more to Ginny's liking. Her father bought her a new watch, and Aunt Anna gave her a biography on Jane Austen (Hermione had thanked Aunt Anna profusely, despite the fact that she already owned two copies).
Hermione waited to open her gift from Harry, instead opting to watch as Harry opened the present she had given him. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the book in his hands.
"Wow, Hermione!" he gasped, staring at Quidditch – A Complete and Accurate History. "This is –"
"You get an update every month," Hermione nodded at the book. She was, in all honesty, quite fond of this gift. She had not only found the last copy, but she had charmed it so whenever a muggle looked at it, the book simply appeared to be a football magazine. Needless to say, Aunt Anna was a bit confused by Harry's enthusiasm ("It's just a magazine subscription," she whispered loudly to her sister).
"Wow," Harry repeated. "I just…. Thank you."
Hermione gave a small laugh, pleased that Harry liked his gift so much, and began opening her last present.
As the wrapping paper fell to the ground, Hermione felt her breath catch at her throat.
"Harry," she breathed, staring down at the five books. "Oh, Harry…you didn't…I mean…" She carefully separated the five novels, laying down one next to the other. Her fingers lingered on Emma, and she picked it back up and caressed its spine.
Looking back up at Harry, Hermione croaked, "Please tell me that these aren't original editions."
Harry immediately felt his heart rate increase. Was he just imagining it, or was she upset with his gift? "I…er…yes. They are."
Mrs. Granger beamed at the scene that was unfolding. No "just friend" gave gifts this meaningful.
Hermione carefully opened up Emma, confirming what Harry had just told her. "Oh God, Harry," she whispered. "I…I can't believe…" Her throat was quickly becoming constricted by a sob, and she bit her lip as tears blurred her eyesight.
"Do you like it?" Harry asked hesitantly.
Before anyone could blink an eye, Hermione had thrown herself onto Harry, wrapping her arms firmly around him, and planted a kiss on his cheek. "I love it," she whispered into his ear, burying her face into his shoulder as she felt tears stream down her face. "Oh, Harry. You have no idea…"
Mrs. Granger guessed that Harry actually did have a pretty good idea. At least his goofy grin and the fact that he seemed oblivious to the world seemed to indicate so.
"Well, shall we leave these two alone and get started on afternoon preparations?" Mrs. Granger asked the other occupants in the room, clapping her hands together.
"But I want to see them kiss!" Mona exclaimed. "Just like in the movies."
"Yeah!" Lia agreed, though it was highly doubtful that she understood what she was saying.
Mr. Granger glanced over at Harry and Hermione, who still seemed to be in their own little world.
"I think this is enough for now," he told the two girls, which displeased his nieces. "Let's just leave them alone."
Mona crossed her arms across her chest and glared at her uncle. Mr. Howard rolled his eyes at his daughter's sudden visit to the world of two-year-olds. "Come along now," he motioned to her.
"Mummy," whined Mona, turning to the one person who hadn't insisted that they leave. "Please?"
"Well now, we can't just force them to kiss, Mona," Mrs. Granger admonished from behind. Truthfully, as much as she would love to do just that, she didn't want to destroy such a precious moment. "Just leave them be."
"You know, a bit of mistletoe would solve all of this…" Mrs. Howard suggested innocently, her sly smile ruining the effect.
Mrs. Granger appeared to be considering this, but for once in his life, Mr. Granger chose to take control, and ordered, "No, absolutely not. Everyone: out. Our time would be better spent in the kitchen. Out. Now." Mrs. Granger narrowed her eyes but followed everyone out of the room.
Harry and Hermione remained unaware of what was occurring around them, too wrapped up in their own world. Hermione gave Harry one last squeeze, and then regretfully let go of him and scooted back, her face rather pink.
"Thank you," she whispered again.
"N…Not a problem," Harry managed to choke out. With a small smile, Hermione leaned over and pecked Harry on the cheek once more, and then stood up and ran back into the kitchen, where she knew her mother would be awaiting her help with Christmas preparations. Harry took a few seconds to control his blush and lower his heartbeat, and then went to rejoin the party.
"Ronald Bilius Weasley, if you don't get your arse out of this common room I am going to bat bogey you!" Ginny threatened her brother, brandishing her wand.
"For Merlin's sake, Ginny, I'm your brother!" Ron cried, throwing up his arms. Ginny raised an eyebrow and took another step towards him. "Fine. You know, just because you got a good middle name doesn't mean you have the right to middle name me!"
"Get. Up," Ginny snarled, poking Ron in the arm. Ron did as she said, all the while glaring furiously at her.
"It's just Luna, Ron. It's just Luna and the Christmas feast. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?" Ginny demanded as she took Ron's arm and led him through the portrait hole and towards the Great Hall.
"What if there's mistletoe!" Ron cried, looking horribly pathetic.
Ginny rolled her eyes. "You kiss her and pray she doesn't mention nargles. Knowing you, mistletoe would be a stroke of luck. You're never going to get off your lazy arse and do anything about the fact that you're absolutely crazy about her."
"If you don't stop insulting me, I'm going to hex you off the face of this earth."
"Oh please. You can't even transfigure a button into a pin."
"I can too!" Ron exclaimed, turning red with anger.
"Look," Ginny continued, ignoring Ron. "The fact of the matter is you need to do something before Luna decides that some snarkled woodpuff is more interesting that you are."
"What's a snarkled woodpuff?"
"They don't exist."
"Well, obviously. If it's something Luna talks about. I mean, I like her and all, but I can't ignore the fact that she's rather eccentric."
"No, I mean, I made it up. It sounded like something Luna would say."
"Are you sure you made it up?" Ron asked.
"Ron, that's not the point!" Ginny exclaimed, giving a small growl of frustration. "The point is that Luna's going to think, 'He hasn't made a move. Maybe he doesn't like me? Ooh, look, there's a snarkled woodpuff…'"
"I thought you said that you made up the snarkled woodpuff?" Ron interrupted.
"ARGH!" Ginny screamed, and Ron had to duck as Ginny threw a hex his way. "Would you just listen to me you insufferable little…"
"Hello, Ronald," came a dreamy voice, dispersing the anger and tension between the two Weasley siblings.
Ron gulped as he turned around. "L-Luna! H-How are you?"
"I'm all right," Luna replied, staring up at Ron, while Ginny, smirking, silently removed herself from the picture. "Though I must say I'm a little frightened."
"Mhmm," Luna nodded. "Lately, empritents have been following me everywhere." Her already large eyes widened as she said this. "And I don't know what to do!"
"Well, er, is there anyway I can, well, you know, help…or something?"
Luna smiled dreamily at him. "Well, they'll go away if I just find someone else who's being followed by a horde of empritents, because if we kiss, then the empritents will mate, which will blow them up."
"That sounds…pleasant," Ron commented, feeling rather awkward as well as slightly upset by the news that Luna was trying to find this mystery person to kiss. "Well, I can't see empritents, so I guess…I guess you'll have to find your snogging partner on your own."
"Don't be silly, Ronald," Luna laughed, sending pleasant shivers down Ron's back. "You can't see empritents. It all has to do with emotion."
Ron scratched his head. "Well then how are you going to— mmph!" His question was cut off as Luna reached up, pulled Ron towards her, and kissed him gently on the lips. A few seconds later she released him, and for the first time in his life, Ron was in a more dazed state than Luna.
"There," Luna said happily. "Now they're gone. Do you want to go to the Christmas feast with me?"
"Huh? Yeah. Sure. Whatever," Ron said, not understanding a word Luna was saying.
Beaming, Luna hooked her arm through Ron's and began skipping down the hall, dragging a positively confused, but blissful young man behind her.

Polishing a historical reputation briefly tarnished by summer revelry, Sixth Avenue merchants praise the area commonly known as Sixth Street as a hub for locals as well as tourists.
The Sixth Street district, on Historic Route 66, is on Sixth Avenue between McMasters and Western streets.
"Ten years ago Sixth Street was good, but now it's wonderful," said Carol Wheat, owner of Alex's 66 Antique Mall.
"We've come a long way since the junk-shop days," she said. "Sixth Street improves daily."
Although the clientele has changed somewhat, Wheat said, the historical lure of Route 66 and the eclectic mix of shops attract people from around the world. "So many people come in from California, the East Coast, and points in between and tell me stories about traveling Route 66 as a kid," she said.
"Amarillo really sticks in their minds. Some come back year after year," she said. "I can't tell you how great it is to be part of such good memories for so many people."
Foreign visitors yearning for a taste of America are avid Route 66 fans, Wheat said. Some travel the entire length of the "Main Street of America," a name given to the first all-weather highway linking Chicago to Los Angeles.
"We have so much to offer on Sixth Street and in Amarillo - it's a favorite stopping place on the route," Wheat said.
About 1.5 million visitors stopped in Amarillo overnight during fiscal year 1997-98, according to Eric Miller, director of communications for the Amarillo Convention and Visitor Council.
Sixth Street remains integral to tourism here, Miller said, basing his comments on yearly Amarillo surveys.
"Route 66 ranks in the top five tourist attractions, so people are definitely going to visit," Miller said. "I think it's important to preserve the historical value because that is so much of the appeal of the area."
Last year, the mile-long strip of antiques-uniques-and-eats battled a local reputation as an area that attracted troublemakers and public nuisances. Store owners and law enforcement officials say the problems have been resolved, due in part to a city ordinance banning open-liquor containers on city sidewalks.
"Basically it was teen-age hoodlums and kids who didn't have anyplace else to hang out," said Pete Elkins, The Nat antique store co-owner and vice president of the Historic Route 66 Association.
"Crime, combined with negative publicity hurt business for a while," he said. "The business neighbors and the police department worked together to resolve the problems. Things are returning normal; and I don't think the problems will be recurring."
Finding a happy medium between club owners making money and police keeping the streets safe isn't always easy, said officer Jerry Neufeld of the Amarillo Police Department's Crime Prevention Division.
"There have been changes in the area and on Sixth Street that I think will work out best for everyone," he said.
One longtime business, The Golden Light Cafe, a restaurant/club on Sixth, attracts a diverse yet friendly crowd, according to owner Marc Reed.
"We don't have bar fights and things like that here," he said. "The ordinance might hurt business, but we won't be able to tell until summer rolls around."
In operation since 1946 and owned by Reed for the last eight years, The Golden Light Cafe is one of the oldest restaurants in Amarillo. The eatery has seen its share of slow times, he said.
"I remember when no one was on the streets around here," he said. "If the city ordinance helps the neighborhood, I'm all for it."
Improvements to the area last year included widening sidewalks, installing old-fashioned streetlights and planting 46 trees to help spruce up the street.
Elkins said more work is needed. "We want to raise enough money to build a Route 66 information center and museum."
HOGs (members of the Harley Owners Group) are headed for Sixth Avenue. The Texas State HOG Rally, a gathering of about 4,000 motorcyclists, will be June 24 to 27 in Amarillo. A parade in honor of the HOG Rally coincides with the annual Summer Festival on Sixth, June 26.
"Most of the other HOG events will be for members only, but the festival will give the public a chance to see the bikes, as well as have a good time down here," Elkins said.
"We are working with the city, the police department and the convention council. This will be a well-organized, terrific event that we are very excited about," he said.
Tying up loose ends for the event includes getting corporate and local merchant sponsorship and dispelling myths about bikers.
"These are not the Hell's Angels, and this is not going to be just a drinking event," Elkins said. "There will be entertainment for the entire family. Amarillo has a lot of great talent, including Christian bands. And we hope to have them represented here."
"This is something that will benefit the entire city," Elkins said. "I really hope the local businesses and people support our efforts to improve Sixth Street."

Skip to comments.Obama says risky to attack Iran, wants diplomatic fix
Posted on 02/05/2012 11:53:00 PM PST by Olog-hai
President Barack Obama said on Sunday there were important risks to consider before any military strike against Iran and made clear he does not want to see more conflict in the oil-producing Gulf region.
In a television interview, Obama also said he did not believe Tehran had the "intentions or capabilities" to attack the United States, playing down the threats from Tehran and saying he wanted a diplomatic end to the nuclear standoff.
"Any kind of additional military activity inside the Gulf is disruptive and has a big effect on us. It could have a big effect on oil prices. We've still got troops in Afghanistan, which borders Iran. And so our preferred solution here is diplomatic," Obama said.
His comments echoed concerns expressed by earlier by Iran's neighbor Turkey that an attack on Iran would be disastrous.
Iran says its nuclear program is meant to produce energy, not weapons.
But its recent shift of uranium enrichment to a mountain bunkerpossibly impervious to conventional bombingand refusal to negotiate peaceful guarantees for the program or open up to U.N. inspectors have raised fears about Iran's ambitions as well as concerns about Gulf oil supplies.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Iran also says that they want to exterminate the Jews. Why do we believe some of their pronouncements, but not others?
It's down to what liberals selectively believe.
Peace Through Weakness
The respectful diplomatic outreach to the Ayatollah worked really well for Carter the Rabbit Hunter, did it not?
Oh, c'mon! Are our leaders really so naive to believe every problem can be solved by diplomacy??? Have they ever considered the possibility that some players don't negotiate in good faith and don't operate from the same cultural perspective? Do they realize some people aren't selfish western secularists who can be bought off and are entirely willing to die for their causes? Even worse, do our guys ever consider the possibility that the process of negotiation itself is the strategy used to achieve national objectives?
Carter the Rabbit Hunter...
Tim: There he is!
King Arthur: Where?
Tim: There!
King Arthur: What? Behind the rabbit?
Tim: It *is* the rabbit!
King Arthur: You silly sod!
Tim: What?
King Arthur: You got us all worked up!
Tim: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit.
King Arthur: Ohh.
Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Sir Robin: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Sir Galahad: Get stuffed!
Tim: He'll do you up a treat, mate.
Sir Galahad: Oh, yeah?
Sir Robin: You manky Scots git!
Tim: I'm warning you!
Sir Robin: What's he do? Nibble your bum?
Tim: He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!
King Arthur: Go on, Bors. Chop his head off!
Sir Bors: Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up!
They don't seem to understand the fundamentals of diplomacy to boot. Negotiating from a stance of weakness is not diplomacy; it's appeasement. As the quote attributed to Frederick the Great goes, "Diplomacy without force of arms is like music without instruments"and when you're on the run, your "negotiating partner" just laughs. "Peace for our time" redux.
Oh, cmon! Are our leaders really so naïve to believe every problem can be solved by diplomacy?
Omoslem indeed wants a diplomatic solution: Iran gets nukes, threatens everybody, holds Israel at arm's length while trying to overrun it with more aggressive terror proxies than ever before.
Today I was playing a video game called Crysis 2. The villain is a mad scientist named Hargreave who sells out the human race to aliens, and manipulates everybody to help the aliens take over and melt the humans into sludge.
Hargreave keeps marveling at how "elegant" and "efficient" the aliens are at "disposing of carcasses." Every comment of his sounds like President Omoslem marveling at how efficient the Communist Chinese are, and how elegant and tolerant totalitarian islam is.
Omoslem has indeed betrayed us, and wishes he could hand Iran nukes himself. He's attempting the next best thing — running interference until they're nuclear-armed.
So it's politically the best for his survival to wait.
Events out of our control will dictate what happens. Lots of things going on in the background, Gulf states do not want a nuclear Iran—nor does Israel. There may well be a way—without the USA to take out Iran—lots of ways to do it. Obama is too much of a coward to get us into a war—the only bad thing is when the US is weak it encourages our enemies.
it's 'RISKY' letting obutthead finsih his first term !
Gosh! A diplomatic fix! He's brilliant! Why didn't anyone think of that before!!!
Excuse me, I think I need to go pound my head against the wall a bit.
Obama I think misunderstands Teddy Roosevelts motto Speak softly and carry a big stick.
It does no good for a man to carry a big stick if all who see him laugh at him because they know that he will never use it.
The organizer doesn't understand, war IS diplomacy.
If he'd grown up on the South side of Chicago he'd
know this.
Obama is the most dangerous person in the world. He restrains Israel and the Us military while negotiating with an enemy who is vastly smarter and determined than he is.
But then later couldn't intervene fast enough in Egypt and Libya and is now feverishly working behind the scenes to bring 'democratic reform' to Syria.
LMAO When did Obama start worrying about anything affecting oil prices?
We are paying about double what we did when he came to office and it's going up all the time.
I have to agree with the author of the above link's article. A shadow war (layman's term for a USGOV term) is the most pragmatic way to deal with the Shi'a radicals of Iran. The question is, does our administration have the coconuts/desire to conduct it and the ability to enlist worthy silent allies to the cause.
We shall see. The future of our children lie in the balance.
Exclusive: New U.S. Commando Team Operating Near Iran
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are at a high point, as the Islamic Republic threatens to close off a vital waterway and two U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups sit in the seas off the Iranian coast. But across the Persian Gulf, the U.S. has a previously unacknowledged weapon in reserve: a new special operations team.
Danger Room has confirmed with the U.S. Special Operations Command that a new elite commando team is operating in the region. The primary, day-to-day mission of the team, known as Joint Special Operations Task Force-Gulf Cooperation Council, is to mentor military units belonging to the U.S. oil-rich Arab allies, who collectively are known as the Gulf Cooperation Council. Those Arab states consider Iran to be their primary foreign threat.
The task force provides highly trained personnel that excel in uncertain environments, Maj. Rob Bockholt, a spokesman for special-operations forces in the Mideast, tells Danger Room, and seeks to confront irregular threats. The U.S. military has not previously acknowledged the existence of the team, known as JSOTF-GCC for short.
The unit began its existence in mid-2009 around the time that the Iranian leadership rejected President Obamas offer of a new diplomatic dialogue and underwent a serious internal challenge to its legitimacy from Green Movement protesters. But whatever the task force does about Iran or might do in the future is a sensitive subject with the military.
D-day was risky.
Little boy was risky.
Fat man was risky.
Dear Obama,
You are several pay grades out of your league. Shut. Up.
This team is the reason there was an attempt on the life of the Saudi Ambassador in Washington DC
We have only hints at how successful their students have been with several dead scientists and two big explosions.
Drill, baby, drill
Rush Limbaugh: Obama is now into caliphate building — he believes he is the 12th Imam.
However, failing to attack Iran is suicide. If we let Iran get nukes, we will see nuclear weapons used in the near future.
That of course begs the question as to whether we should only get into wars where no risk to us is involved, then. I've never heard of a risk-free war.
Attacking Iran is risky
Now that's the greater risk of the two.
However, failing to attack Iran is suicide. If we let Iran get nukes, we will see nuclear weapons used in the near future
Not to mention the Delaware crossing to go after the Hessians in Trenton was quite risky. And what with the current president's numerous references to Lincoln, the backhanded implication that the Civil War was risk-free is an insult to that particular forerunner.
Your examples are better than mine. :-)

I appreciate people who speak their mind and keep their thoughts unfiltered more than I can describe, no matter what it's on. I generally view them to be people who are on point honest about everything. It's something that I'm trying to do more lately. I think it's extremely healthy and the most accurate depiction of the essence of your raw personality. It also makes things more interesting and exciting to do so, because doing so makes things much more candid. That's what being radically honest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_Honesty) is. Do you feel the same way?
