I am using your tool quite regularly and like it.
Sadly, there is no support for krautchan.net which is a German chan I visit some times.
Because of this, I wrote a plugin for it.
It would be great if you could add this to the next official release.
The changes are available at https://github.com/J0s3f/fourchan-dl/commit/ddc00f348e519525356bcba6ca0d6a0a7c936635
I have only Qt5 at this PC and was doing the development using that, so I haven't actually tested this with Qt4, but it should work.
I will probably keep this plugin updated, so if somebody complains it is broken, there might be a working version at my github. (I will most likely support a bug report here, but I might forget it)
Thank you very much.
I had to make a small change in your source to compile it against Qt4, but it is working fine. It's already included in the experimental git and will make it's way to stable.

Powerful look after strong while the weak get it in neck
Published 26/08/2013 | 05:00
Civil servants are getting pay increases of €250m while the State can't fund special needs assistants
THE economy and the country have changed dramatically since the crash five years ago. That's pretty obvious. But in politics, it seems, it's business as usual.
Of course, the faces in the Cabinet have changed. Fianna Fail no longer governs in perpetuity. Fine Gael is the top dog and likely to stay that way. Labour is now getting the flak that the Greens became accustomed to.
The real power base, though, hasn't shifted.
It's largely the same people still who are calling the shots – and the genuinely vulnerable are being ignored.
It emerged over the weekend that hundreds of school-leavers with profound and severe intellectual disabilities have been told they will not get a day service that meets their assessed needs.
That means that as vulnerable a group as it's possible to imagine won't get vital occupational therapy, speech or language therapy and other services on a daily or weekly basis.
This is because of a cut in the allocation to services in this area from €10m to €4m – six lousy million euro that could make the most unimaginable difference to the lives of young men and women who have already had to overcome so much in life.
In contrast, it was also reported over the weekend that public sector workers have received more than €1.4bn in incremental – or length-of-service – pay increases since the recession began.
It's only fair to acknowledge public sector workers have made sacrifices in that time, including two very painful pay cuts.
But it is still difficult to find a credible explanation as to why an effectively bankrupt country is still giving many of its state workers a pay increase.
The trade unions argue that many of those getting increments are among the lower-paid public servants. There is truth to that (although it's far from the complete picture – more than 1,300 earning €65,000-plus will get increases this year).
But there is no getting away from the fact that these pay increases of €250m a year, given to people with jobs, are being paid by a state that is still borrowing €1bn a month; a state that can't afford to provide day services to those with severe intellectual disabilities; that can't provide places in schools for some children because of the absence of resources for special needs assistants; that can't give medical cards to those suffering from motor neurone disease.
And there is no getting away from the fact that this is happening because the public sector unions still carry enormous political clout. In stark contrast, young people who have intellectual disabilities do not.
It would be wrong to make this solely about public sector workers and increments. That would be far too simplistic. Public sector unions are only one of a number of vested interests that are still pulling the strings.
The lack of outraged outcry about cuts to intellectual disability services is in sharp contrast to the conveyor belt of Fine Gael TDs (and ministers) lining up to rule out suggestions that farmers' assets should be taken into account when determining their children's eligibility for third-level grants.
The farming organisations might not be the power they once were, but neither Fine Gael nor Fianna Fail would ever risk their wrath – however legitimate the proposed reform might be.
The same goes for the grey vote. It's impossible to even suggest that the same level of cuts be applied to the old-age pension as has already been introduced to the rest of social welfare payments. The reason for that is almost nothing to do with reasons of equity and fairness and almost everything to do with electoral factors.
It's also why the Government will once again bottle it on calls for a means-testing of child benefit or the re-introduction of third-level fees in the upcoming budget – middle-class voters just wouldn't wear it.
There might have been an expectation that with the economic and budgetary collapse and the arrival of the troika, the influence of the vested interests would be seriously diluted. It hasn't happened.
The cake is certainly smaller, but the most powerful groups have largely maintained their slice. It's the genuinely marginalised – the voiceless, the powerless – that have been squeezed out.
AND it's only going to get worse. Reports yesterday suggest the Government is facing major shortfalls in savings to be delivered under the Haddington Road agreement across the health sector. Given that the Coalition will not want to re-visit the pay deal, this will mean even greater cuts in services to compensate. And we all know by now who won't be picking up the tab.
The current Fine Gael-Labour programme for government opens with the bold claim that "a democratic revolution" took place on general election day, February 25, 2011.
Revolution? Different folks, but not so different strokes.

Grant Morrison: The Early Years – Part II: "Arkham Asylum"
|"Grant Morrison: The Early Years" on sale now
"Grant Morrison: The Early Years" is the first in a projected three-volume set of analytical texts examining the career of one of comics' most eminent and influential creators, Grant Morrison. Written by Massachusetts-based literature teacher and scholar Timothy Callahan, "The Early Years" offers not just simple annotations to Morrison's work, but instead provides readers with plainly-written, hugely detailed studies of every single issue of Morrison's early works starting with the groundbreaking "Zenith" and concluding with his Dadaist superhero manifesto "Doom Patrol," creating an invaluable resource to fans of Morrison as well as to those new to his work. The book concludes with a lengthy interview with Morrison himself.
"Grant Morrison: The Early Years" is published by the non-profit Sequart Research & Literacy Organization, which is devoted to the study and promotion of comic books as a legitimate artform. "The Early Years" is the first in a new series of scholarly books examining mainstream comics, and will be followed by "Mutant Cinema: The X-Men Trilogy from Comics to Screen." Other planned projects include a book analyzing the history of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Yesterday, in the first part of our conversation with "Grant Morrison: The Early Years" author Timothy Callahan, we discussed the seminal "Zenith," "Crisis on Infinite Earths,"and Grant Morrison's beloved "Animal Man" series. In this second part, CBR News discusses with Callahan the tremendously successful yet much maligned graphic novel "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth. "
Would you say that the book is misunderstood, generally? "The Filth" is obviously difficult for people to understand, but I think because Batman is in "Arkham Asylum," it's more misunderstood by more people.
Because of when "Arkham Asylum" was released and because of its reputation… in fact, when I did my little guest spot at Comics Should Be Good recently, I mentioned in my introduction that my book dealt with the "much maligned 'Arkham Asylum,'" and one of the commentators said, "Much maligned? I've never heard of 'Arkham Asylum' being much maligned." And to me, it's totally maligned!
Arkham's flashback continues by describing his meeting with two controversial figures: Aleister Crowley and Carl Jung. By referencing these two names, Morrison is giving us the keys to understanding "Arkham Asylum." Crowley is significant because he created the Thoth Tarot which Morrison references continually in this graphic novel, while Jung's psychological theory of archetypes relies heavily on the relationship between what he calls the Self (unified consciousness) and the Shadow (the instinctive and irrational side of human nature. Batman and the Joker physically represent these archetypes, although Batman is not a fully realized Self until the end of the graphic novel. At first, and until he achieves victory over the various Shadows (as embodied by not only the Joker, but by other rogues as well), he is a mere persona, as the Joker so readily points out when one of the inmates asks to see Batman's real face: "[The mask] is his real face," Says the Joker, "and I want to go much deeper than that."
– excerpt from "Grant Morrison: The Early Years."
I think the most typical reaction to "Arkham Asylum" – the plot reaction, not the "pretentious crap" reaction – is that the book is saying Batman is just as crazy as the villains he fights; that he's some kind of hypocrite. That Batman actually emerges from that dream stronger and saner is missed a lot.
"Arkham Asylum" is hugely ambitious and beautifully executed, and I feel that way now a lot more than I used to, because of your book. "Arkham Asylum" is very complex. But some readers still wonder, is it a good Batman story? If that's even a separate question.
I don't know. It's sort of a ridiculous question that only comic book fans ask, but I understand why that question would be asked.
And that's kind of my answer about if "Arkham Asylum" is a good Batman story.
There are certain Batman conventions that you would expect to see [in a Batman story], and you can't just put Batman in any story. If you have him wildly mischaracterized… well, I guess he could be. In the '50s, he was fighting mutated apes and running around gleefully.
Well, I think we can take it as read that those stories were very bad.
It's also pretty clear that when Morrison went back to write "Batman: Gothic," he wanted to add all those things he didn't get to add in "Arkham Asylum." He wanted to put in the bat-gyro and he wanted to put in all the little detective things he didn't get to put in "Arkham Asylum." I guess you could look at them together as a complete version of Batman. But I do think "Arkham Asylum" is a good Batman story, yeah.
Next, in the final part of CBR's in-depth interview with Timothy Callahan, the scholar will discuss with us a number of topics including Morrison's philosophies on both comics and existence, anti-climaxes, superhero traditions, and one of Grant Morrison's most beloved works, the surrealistic superhero opus, "Doom Patrol."
"Grant Morrison: The Early Years" is on sale now from Sequart.
Now discuss this story in the CBR Forums.

Re: take a tip...leave a tip
Not sure this is worth much but I just rode my bike. The mirror had to be readjusted twenty times. When I got home, I finally managed to get to the auto store to buy a convex mirror. You know one of those "its closer than it looks things." Well to be honest that isn't a problem, If anyone is behind me no matter how close or far, I'm waiting for him to pass before I do anything. I just want to know someone is back there. Those mirrors are more or less always in adjustment.
The one I got is a peel and stick the same size as my regular mirror, so I just covered it up. I added a turn of tape around the edge just in case.

Item (Order) scheduling priority
Aug 27, 2012 8:33 AM
Hello experts,
i have a question about scheduling priority of a discrete job. Is it available to mark Purchase Order or Item to schedule them as higher priority discrete job then releasing it? By default a schedule priority for every job is 10 (then 10 is the lowest, 1 - highest priority), and I can change it to higher priority only in discrete job options after MRP planning and I want to do it before (then entering Purcase Order for example).
Maybe anyone have ideas.
Thank you
I have the same question

I was expecting to see more than Madonna's speech and a short performance featuring Janet Jackson, however wonderful they were.

Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds (Initiative for Catalonia-Greens) was created in 1987 as a federation of parties, whose goal was to foster an alternative national left-leaning project. There were initially three parties: PSUC (Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya, Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia), PCC (Partit dels Comunistes de Catalunya, Catalan Communist Party) and the Entesa Nacionalista d'Esquerra (Left-wing Nationalists Agreement). Rafael Ribó was elected President in the 1st Assembly and he stayed in office until the 6th Assembly.
From the beginning, ICV strived for another way of making politics, avoiding conservative views.
Its main political values are:
- politics towards social transformation
- mechanisms to create a society that has influence on politics
- Politics is nothing religious. ICV avoids totalitarian visions, dogmatism and creates a dynamic, non-static political identity.

"I want to know why they put us in charge of this Christmas pageant!" Hermione asked to no one in particular. "If they think that Malfoy and I can work together on this for even a second without trying to murder each other, they're delusional!"
She took a huge bite of her chicken salad sandwich, chewed with angry gusto, and swallowed. "I mean, why? Why Malfoy of all people? Isn't it bad enough that I have to look at the asshole everyday as it is?" she said, throwing the remainder of her uneaten sandwich onto the wrapper. She then crossed her arms and sighed so hard it lifted the bangs from her forehead.
The others thought her tirade was over. Lulled into a sense of security by the brief second of silence she gave them, they were annoyed when she started babbling again.
"I hate him! He's just going to sit there with that damn smirk on his face, saying smart-ass remarks just to piss me off, refuse to lift a finger to help, and of course that means I'll end up doing all the work and being the jerk he is, he'll no doubt take the credit…"
Harry, Ron and Ginny all continued eating their lunch, mentally rolling their eyes. Ever since the Minister had informed Hermione that morning that she and Draco Malfoy were to be in charge of the yearly Christmas pageant, Hermione had been in a nasty mood.
Ginny was thankful that she didn't have to work with her. Poor Harry and Ron on the other hand, had to put up with her all day, every day- forever and ever, amen. She had turned into a stressed out, psycho bitch and they were all happy that Malfoy was the target of her anger and frustration and not them.
When Harry and Ron had first learned that Malfoy had taken up a position at the Ministry, they were shocked, but determined to not let it get to them. They were no longer children, and so decided to put their differences behind them and try to act like adults- only Hermione couldn't do this. In fact, it seemed to them as though her hatred for him had only intensified over time.
They couldn't have been more wrong. She didn't hate him, and that's why she went out of her way to make them think that she did. She found herself actually liking the bastard, much to her horror. Now, it's not like she enjoyed his company every second of the day though. Most of the time, he was a royal pain I the ass- just like old times.
It irked her to no end that she had to share a very small office with him. Theirs were the only two desks in the room, and for eight hours a day- sometimes longer- she had to look at him, talk to him, put up with his shitty attitude and constant bragging. More than once, she thought about taking her letter opener and ramming it into his head just to get away from his continuous chit-chat.
He never shut up! Either he was complaining about having to do actual work, making fun of some new employee's lack of fashion sense or he was going on about his sexual conquests from the night before. She hated that most of all. Why did he think she wanted to know how succulent so-and-so's naked breasts were, or how loud he made some girl scream his name? It just wasn't proper talk for the office.
She told him over and over to cease with the sex banter, but he just gave her that stupid smirk and accused her of being jealous. As if! Like she would ever be jealous of some simple-minded, obviously desperate woman who jumped into the sack with him just because he was rich- and a tad good-looking! No, she was not in the least bit jealous. Well, maybe a little… NO, not at all! He was an asshole, and she should hate him!
She sighed to herself, picking at the edge of the sandwich wrapper. She wondered why he just couldn't always be an asshole. That would make it so much easier! There were times when he could down right fun and almost charming. Those times were far and few in between, but they were there. It was during those uncharacteristic moments that she found herself wondering what it would be like to sit with him in a private romantic location. How would feel to kiss him? Would it be as wonderful and passionate as she imagined?
And she did imagine it- quite often, but she would never let anyone find that out! So she pretended to despise him, thinking maybe she could fool herself into hating him like she did back at Hogwarts.
"Well, Hermione, "Ginny said, sucking her pumpkin juice through a straw. "Why can't you just let him sit there and do nothing? What's the big deal?"
"Yeah," Ron added. "You know you're going to totally take over the entire thing anyhow- you have a habit of thinking your way is the only way. You never even consider that the other person's ideas might be better than your own."
The look she gave him was enough to shut him up. "Well, Ron," she said with a sneer. "Give me one example when an idea of yours was better than mine." No answer from him. "Thought so!"
Ron shot her a hateful glare, and shoved a huge spoonful of hot pasta into his mouth, not caring that it was burning the hell out of his tongue. Ever since their botched year-long relationship ended, she had been a total jerk towards him, and he was getting pretty sick and tired of it. Someday he was going to tell her exactly what an annoying know-it-all, frigid, anal retentive, obsessive compulsive, bossy bitch she really was.
"You do know that you, Ginny and Ron are going to put on a skit, don't you?" she said to an astonished Harry.
"I won't take no for an answer! I need all the help I can get. Who knows how this pageant is going to end up, what with Malfoy trying to make decisions." She rolled her eyes, and the others tuned her out as she once again went on a Malfoy bashing rampage.
Draco sat in his office, listening to the Christmas music that was being piped in. He loved Christmas; all those wonderful and deserving gifts, all that white, fluffy snow, cuddling with a sexy woman in front of a fireplace drinking wine… for some reason, that person always had the face of Granger- how very curious!
bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
tapped his foot, leaning back in his expensive chair, and putting his
arms behind his head. He grinned at the ceiling, thinking about how
much fun it was going to be to harass Granger. At first he wasn't
very excited about working on the pageant with her. After all, they
already spent more than enough time together; twenty more hours a
week was bordering on being hellish. Gone
away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
away is the bluebird
He hummed along to the song- which happened to be one of his favorites. Sure that Hermione would try to take over the entire project, he decided that that was not going to happen. He could be as bossy as she could, and it would definitely piss her off when he refused to do everything her way. He loved the way she looked when she was furious; all flushed, chest heaving, eyes crackling… she was almost attractive at those times- almost.
who was he kidding? She was down right delectable! The most beautiful
woman on the face of the earth! Oh, yes! He desired her, but he also
loved to pick on her. What they said about little boys picking on the
little girls they liked was true- he was living proof of that! He
smiled to himself, noticing it was almost time for her to come back
from lunch. Almost torture time! In
the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
the meadow we can build a snowman
Oh, yeah. He had some major plans for fucking with her in the coming weeks. It's not like he had to try very hard though. For some reason, all he had to do was look at her cross-eyed and she flipped out on him. He did that sometimes; just stared at her for no reason until she couldn't take it any longer and threw something at him. One time, she pitched a paper weight at his head. He ducked at the last second, and it hit the wall where it made a huge hole. He had looked at her, astonished.
She was leaning over her desk, cleavage showing, her hair a mess, her lips curled with fiendish glee. To Draco, she had never looked more sexy. She gave a sharp laugh and told him that next time she wouldn't miss. Oh, yes, he absolutely loved to make her life hell.
especially loved to cause her misery with his tales of all night sex
with gorgeous women. He could tell it made her very uncomfortable
when he described in great detail what he did to them. He often
wondered if she was still a virgin. She had to be! She was so damn
uptight all the time! What she needed was a good fuck to loosen her
up a bit. Not that he
wanted to be the one to do it- that would be just too (wonderful)
weird. Later
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Hermione stalked into the office, right on time. Having finished lunch, she was ready to get directly to work. Walking past Draco's desk, she grunted when she heard him singing merrily. "What the bloody hell are you so happy about?" she snapped.
He stopped humming, and looked over at her innocently. "I heard you coming, and the very thought of being in your presence made me want to sing for joy."
'God he's so annoying!' she thought. 'Look at him, with his feet on the desk and that silly looking smirk on his lips!'
looked away as she stomped behind her desk and plopped herself into
her chair. Deciding he wanted to infuriate her, he spun his chair
around and blew kisses at her. She rolled her eyes, and started
fiddling with some papers. Getting up, he went over to her neat and
tidy desk, leaned over and sang to her in a surprisingly nice
voice. "In
the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the alligators knock him down"
the meadow we can build a snowman
looked around in a panic, hoping that no one was out in the hall to
hear him making an idiot out of himself. She jumped to her feet in
shock as he slid onto her desk, his hand over his heart, batting his
eyelashes and gazing at her like a love sick calf. He was very close,
almost close enough to kiss. For a crazy minute, she almost leaned in
and actually made a move- that is until he started singing again at
the top of his voice: "When
it snows
Ain't it thrilling?
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play"
it snows
the love of God, Draco! Shut up! Someone might hear you!" She
shoved him hard, knocking him from the desk and sending him to the
floor. She looked over the desk, and saw that he was lying on his
back, smiling up at her. To her horror, he flipped over and got on
his knees, singing even louder:
Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland"
From the doorway, came clapping and whistles. Fred and George were standing there, grinning from ear to ear.
"Encore! Encore!" They said together.
"I've never seen such an obvious, sickening display of love in my life," Fred said, sticking his finger down his throat and making retching noises.
"I never knew Malfoy had such a wonderful singing voice! I was falling in love," George said. "Look at them! They're so adorable together!"
"Hermione, I'm shocked that you've kept this secret for so long! Who knew you and Malfoy were all lovey dovey!" Fred and George made loud kissing noises, pretending to make out with each other.
Hermione looked from Draco, to them, and then back to Draco, who was still on his knees. They looked at each other in horror. He jumped up, and she cleared her throat, trying to think of something to change the subject.
"Hey! I love this song!" George said, singing along to 'Frosty the Snowman'. He stopped after one line, not knowing the rest of the lyrics. "I know my voice is not as sexy as Malfoys…" Hermione shot him a dirty look and he shut up.
"Is there something you needed?" she asked, watching from the corner of her eye as Draco swept past the twins and out the office door, mumbling something about the twins being total nutters if they thought he was in love with her.
They shrugged at Draco's sudden departure. "We want to be in the pageant," Fred said with a happy grin.
A smile spread across her face. "You do?" she said, rushing towards him and jumping excitedly into his arms. "Oh, I'm so happy!"
"Whoh!" Fred said, putting his arms up in the air. "I don't want Malfoy to come back and see me feeling up his girl." He really didn't want her to let go, but he was afraid George would see the naked look of desire that was clearly on his face. "He might get angry."
The smile faded and she back away. "I am not- nor will I ever be- Malfoy's girl. He likes cheap whores with giant boobs who can't string together two words to make a coherent thought, not women who have brains and- less than giant boobs. What you walked in on was one of his many attempts to infuriate me."
She sat back down in her chair. "I absolutely despise him and I'm pretty sure he feels the same about me." She picked up a folder and took out a sign up sheet. "He loves to torture me until I come completely unglued and threaten to kick his ass, that's all. He's a bastard and I hate him. With his stupid silky hair and his pretty eyes and that smirk…" She dipped her quill and paused, looking at the silent twins. "What?"
"Nothing," Fred said. "Nothing at all." He knew that look. She really was in love with Malfoy. He hoped he didn't look too disappointed.
"Why don't you just shag him? You know you…"
Fred gave George a small elbow to the ribs, telling him to keep his mouth shut. "Anyway," he said, focusing on Hermione. "We have an amazing idea for the skit we want to do…"
Hermione stopped dead in her tracks, looking as mad as hell. She crossed the room in what seemed like two giant steps and slammed her hands down on the table, knocking over a container of silver glitter. "Damn it, Malfoy! I thought I said that we were putting the Christmas tree over there?"
"You did."
"Then why is it in the corner?"
"Because I thought it looked stupid where you wanted it, and I decided to over ride your dumb decision, and put it in the corner!" he shouted.
"Well, I think it looks ridiculous there, now put it where I said!"
"No!" he said, pulling out his wand.
No?" she asked, pulling out her wand as well.
"Have you gone fucking deaf, Granger? I said NO!" He stood up suddenly, meeting her eye to eye. He was not going to back down, not ever. It was fight to the death- over a fucking tree.
She was 'this close' to flipping out and blasting him into next week, or better still- strangling him to death with a string of lights. The past week had been pure and utter hell. All he did was get in her way, and constantly tell her and everyone else within ear shot that she didn't know what the hell she was doing.
So far, every order she gave was dismissed by Draco, and replaced with one of his own- which he said was better than hers. He hated the way she wanted to decorate, said the scenery was so ugly it made his eyes bleed, the costumes were grotesque and not fit for even house-elves to wear, the quality of the music made his ears run for cover up his ass… it was never ending!
They glared at each other over the table. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and waited for all hell to break loose.
"You really don't want to piss me off right now, Draco."
"Oh, yeah? Why's that?" he asked.
"Because I'm running out of room in my backyard for all the bodies."
"You want to kill me, Granger?" he asked, his smirk starting to form.
"More than anything, Malfoy," she said with an evil grin.
"For Merlin's sake! Do us all a favor would you? Just snog and get it over with?" Ginny shouted from the stage. "We all know you fancy each other!"
"That's what you're problem is with me, isn't it, Granger?"
Hermione cocked her eyebrow, confused. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"You want me, don't you?" He saw the tiniest hint of panic flicker behind her eyes. He was just teasing her, but could it be that she really did want him? "Admit, it. You would love for me to lean over this table, take your angry but beautiful face in my manly, strong hands and caress your tender lips with mine."
She quickly recovered from her shock, a devious smile blooming over her features. "You know what I think, Malfoy?"
"I think it's you who wants to kiss me."
He betrayed no emotion, his face was like a stone wall. "I would rather kiss Hagrid's humungous hairy ass than kiss you- it's more attractive."
Hermione lost it. Putting her hands under the table and screaming obscenities, she flipped it over, sending the glitter and paint jars flying. "I hate you, you asshole! Ahhhh!" Her screams echoed from the small back room, across the stage and through the theatre.
The room erupted in pandemonium. The Draco worshippers and the Hermione lovers took sides and began to fight with each other. Fists were flying and insults were being hurled.
Draco ran for cover. He almost fell over trying to get away from her as she sent fake presents and paper mache gumdrops whipping towards his head. Draco backed up in shock as she stepped over the mess and approached him, holding a huge strofoam candy cane like a bat, looking murderous.
She was almost upon him when a snowball soared through the air and smacked her dead in the face. The room went very still as she whimpered, wiping the melting mess from her eyes.
Draco looked up to see who his savior was and was surprised to see it was Ron Weasley.
"Someone had to calm her down," he said. "Even though I hate you, Malfoy, no one deserves to be bludgeoned to death with a candy cane."
"Ron! I can't believe you did that!" Hermione wailed. "How could you!"
"How could I?" he asked in disbelief. "Everyday you come in here, barking orders and treating people like shit and… I hate to say this but Malfoy is much better at being in charge than you are! Everyone thinks so!"
Draco looked shocked, but pleased. He saw everyone- some reluctantly- nodding their heads in agreement. "Well, Granger," he said arrogantly. "It looks as if the peasants have revolted and placed a new king on the throne- me."
She stood there, snow melting down her face, seething with anger. "We were both put in charge of this fiasco, Malfoy and I won't be taking orders from you!"
"Okay then," he said as if trying to calm a disgruntled three year old. "But can I suggest on thing?"
Hermione really didn't want to hear what this 'suggestion' was. Whatever it was, she knew it was going to piss her off. "What?" she snapped.
"Please, go get a fucking massage, take a pill or buy a vibrator… something, ANYTHING to relieve some of that stress you're carrying around." He cut her off as she was about to bite his head off. Leaning forward, he whispered rather loudly, "If you don't care for vibrators, I can offer you a night of casual sex with me. I promise to go easy, you being a virgin and all."
There was a deafening crack as Hermione's hand connected with the side of Draco's face. "You disgust me! Like I would ever let your very small flaccid penis anywhere near my vagina!"
There were snickers and a loud snort of laughter from Harry and a few others.
"She's done it now," Ginny said to Luna. "She's gone and insulted his manhood."
Draco smiled, her bright red hand print standing out on his pale cheek. "Small, eh?" he said, fumbling with his belt. "I'll show you just what a huge monster it is"
Hermione gave a small squeek and covered her eyes. "Malfoy! Don't!"
"Afraid it might turn you on, Granger? Scared you'll take one look at it and never be able to stop thinking about the pleasure it could give you? Why not have a look? That way you can imagine it as you lay alone in your bed at night fingering your little virgin hole!" He did his trousers back up as she fled from the room, crying.
Everyone was either pretending to look at the floor, whispering to another person, or glaring at him. He actually felt kind of bad about what just happened, and for a brief second, thought about running after her. He decided against it. After all, he didn't want to appear weak. "What the bloody hell is everyone just standing around for?" he shouted. "We have work to do! Clean up this mess! Get that scenery in place! Potter! You and Weasley are up. Let me see what you've come up with."
Hermione ran from the theatre, down the hall and out the side door. She ran a few steps more, collapsing against the brick wall, taking huge gulps of frigid air. The tears were freezing to her eyelashes and her nose was starting to run, but she didn't care.
Lifting her face to the darkening winter sky, she let the sparkling, light snowflakes drift onto her flushed skin. It looked so pretty, the way the snow was illuminated by the moonlight; all glittery, pure and white. It made her cry even harder.
The door opened and Fred came running out. "Are you okay?" he asked tenderly, wiping away her tears with his finger. "Malfoy is a prick. You shouldn't let him get to you the way he does."
She smiled gratefully at him. "I know I shouldn't, but…"
"But, you can't help it, can you?" he said, taking off his cloak and wrapping it around her shoulders. "You know he's in love with you, don't you?"
Hermione frowned up at Fred, shaking her head. "He doesn't love me. He can barely tolerate my existence."
He shivered and blew hot air into his cold hands. "He loves you. He just doesn't know how to show it." He sighed, wondering how to explain the inner workings of Malfoy's mind. "He's been brought up to hate people like you, so imagine how he felt when he found himself falling for you. He was probably scared, a little disgusted and more than a little disappointed that he wasn't able to make those feelings just disappear."
Hermione noticed he was shaking from the cold, so she moved closer and cuddled up to him.
Fred flinched, feeling a tad bit nervous for some reason. Sure he had hugged her before, but nothing ever this intimate. It felt very nice. He cleared the frog that had suddenly developed in his throat. "You see, he doesn't want to love you, and it's pissing him off that he can't stop, so he's lashing out with degrading remarks and anger in hopes that maybe he can force his feeling to be something other than what they are."
He twirled a piece of her hair, loving the way it curled around her finger. "He's also afraid that if he tells you that he loves you, you'll just laugh in his face, and he's not willing to face that kind of rejection." Fred realized that he was not only talking about Malfoy now, but he was also talking about himself.
Hermione said, almost too softly to hear, "I think I love him you know."
Fred's heart plummeted, and he was glad her head was down so that she couldn't see the hurt on his face. "Yes, I know. Anyone with one good eye can see that you two are crazy for each other." He felt sick. How could she be in love with someone who did nothing but treat her worse than a dog? Couldn't she see that there was someone else that loved her- someone who would treat her with respect and kindness- someone that at that very moment was holding her close?
"Would you do me a favor, Fred?" she asked, looking up at him.
"Would you talk to him for me?"
"Talk to him?" That was the last thing he wanted to do. "Sure. Anything for you."
She embraced him harder, burying her head in his shoulder. He could feel her breasts pressed against his chest, and he hoped to God that she couldn't feel his 'growing' desire for her. She looked up at him again, with the biggest brightest smile. Large, delicate snowflakes were falling in her hair, her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were sparkling- she looked so beautiful to him.
"You're wonderful, you know that?" she said, and suddenly his lips were on hers, and she was kissing him. It was soft and sensual, and it made her head swim.
He stiffened, realizing what he had done and quickly pulled away. "I'm sorry! I don't know what…" He was mortified.
Hermione, whose body was still tingling from his amazing kiss, waved it away. "You don't need to apologize, Fred. We were just caught up in the moment." She was wondering why he seemed so nervous and quickly cast aside the notion that maybe he somehow had developed feelings for her. "Um, so you'll talk to him for me?"
Fred, who had thought maybe the kiss would bring her to her senses, sighed in defeat. "Yes. When did you want me to talk to him?"
"Maybe after rehearsal tonight?" She took Fred's hand and pulled him towards to door. "I think the sooner the better, don't you?"
He thought never was better. "Sure."
She opened the door and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I'm not going back inside. I think I'll just go home for the night."
"Don't want to face him, huh?"
"Would you?"
"I guess not." He wanted to pull her close and kiss her, but he knew she would never let it happen again. She wanted Malfoy, not him. "I'll take him for coffee tonight, and try to talk some sense into the little ferret."
"Thanks, Fred. I owe you."
He stood in the doorway after she Apparated home, breathing in the cold air, trying to get his feeling in check. For some reason, Hermione fancied Draco, God only knew why. He, Fred, was the complete opposite of Malfoy, so there was probably no way in hell she could ever love him. She was just so… so different from other woman, and he really couldn't blame Draco for being in love with her. He just wished she had better taste in men.
"What?" Draco said, getting up to leave. He, Fred and George were sitting in the coffee shop around the corner from the theatre. At first, he had been wary of taking Fred up on his offer. After all, he was a Weasley, and Weasley's were sneaky- especially this one.
"Sit down, Malfoy," Fred said, pulling on his arm.
"I will not! How dare you accuse me of loving Granger!" He was trying with all his might to get out of Fred's grip. "That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard!"
There was a ripping sound as Draco's sleeve was rent from his shirt. "Now look what you've done!" He aimed his wand at the tear and fixed it.
"You're causing a scene, Malfoy," George said. "Now sit back down and listen to what we have to say or we'll kick your ass!"
Draco narrowed his eyes at them. He had never been good at Muggle fighting, and decided that listening to their nonsense was better than a black eye. "Fine!" he said, sitting back down and frowning. "I'll hear you out and then I'm going to go home, have a good laugh and drink myself silly."
George looked at Fred and shook his head. When his brother had told him that Hermione was in love with Malfoy, he had thought it a joke. After noticing that Fred wasn't laughing… that he was dead serious, he began to think the girl wasn't as smart as everyone thought her to be.
"So, as I was saying," Fred said. "We know that for some time now you have had… shut up, and let me finish!" he said as Draco opened his mouth to protest. "You can deny it all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that you love her and…" He swallowed hard, not liking the taste of the words. "She loves you."
Draco looked as if he had been punched in the gut. "Wh… what did you say?" He was sure he had heard wrong. There was no way in hell that Hermione Granger loved him!
"I said," Fred snapped. "That she loves you. Merlin knows why she would love a shit-head, fuck-tard like you, but she does!" He rubbed his temples, a sudden massive headache coming on.
George sat there, looking from a flabbergasted Malfoy, to his strangly jealous sounding brother. Could it be that he had missed the signs? Ignored the fact that Fred seemed to fancy Hermione? Nah! Couldn't be! If he did, he would have told him- they never kept secrets from each other.
Draco, who wanted to believe more than anything that Granger did love him, was about to let his pleasure show, when the little voice inside his head told him that would be a terrible mistake. 'It's a trick you idiot!' it said. 'They're trying to make you look like a fool. They hate you, remember?'
The twins were shocked when Draco stood up, brandishing his wand. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Do you honestly want me to answer that?" George said.
"I know what you're doing."
"What we're doing?" Fred said, trying not to explode. "What we're doing is trying to make Hermione happy. She wanted us to talk to you, to tell you how she felt…"
"You lie!" Draco shouted. The other patrons were looking over their shoulders at him, frightened. "You're just saying this because you want me to go to her, tell her I love her too and then you lot can have a jolly laugh when she tells me to fuck off!"
"Just shut the hell up Weasley! I won't fall for this. I WON'T!" He chuckled though nothing was remotely funny. "Tell me that Granger loves me! Granger! You couldn't have thought of some one more plausible?" He put on his cloak and turned to leave.
"Malfoy, wait!" Fred said, grabbing his arm. "What am I supposed to tell her?"
Draco paused but didn't turn. "Tell her whatever you want, but don't tell her I love her because that's simply not true!" He wrenched his arm away and fled the coffee shop.
The twins looked at each other. "What a cowardly fucking prick he is!" George said, shaking his head. "Come to think of it, they're both cowards! Hermione's just as bad as he is."
The waitress came over, chomping on her gum very loudly, slapped the bill on the table and told them 'Happy Holidays'. George continued, "I can't believe how totally stubborn they are!" He drained his cup, and pulled his hat down on his head. "This was a complete waste of time."
"Now what are we going to do?" Fred asked, slipping on his gloves. He glanced out the front window and he frowned, not really wanting to venture out into the snow.
George thought for a second, and then a devious grin spread across his face. "I know exactly what to do."

Forensic Psychology
What is Forensic Psychology?
David Webb BSc (hons), MSc
When my students arrived for their first lecture, I would always start by giving them a few minutes to write down an answer to the question what is forensic psychology? The main reason I did this was because not one of the students had come to see me in advance to ask what the course was about.
Now bear in mind students chose their optional courses well in advance of the start date, and to make an informed choice they were strongly advised to speak to the lecturer running the courses they were interested in. So why the no show?
I can't hear a thing!
After discussing the issue with the students, it transpired that none of them felt the need to come and ask questions about the course because they already had a preconceived idea of what forensic-psychology was all about.
Now, I mentioned that at the start of the first lecture I would give students a few minutes to write down an answer to the question what is forensic-psychology. What I didn't mention, however, is that after about 2 minutes I would ask for their attention and apologize for forgetting to tell them that they weren't allowed to use the words serial killers, profiling or silence of the lambs in their answer. It was usually as this point that most of the writing in the lecture theatre stopped!
If you're thinking I would have stopped writing as well, please contain your disappointment and don't rush off just yet. The answer to the question, what is forensic-psychology may not quite be what you thought, but that doesn't mean that the subject has to be any less engaging.
Divided Opinion
The first thing to appreciate when addressing the question, what is forensic psychology, is that even psychologists in the field are divided as to what the answer is.
Gudjonsson and Haward note that the division of criminological and legal psychology within the British Psychological Society argued for twenty years as to whether their members should be entitled to call themselves Chartered Forensic Psychologists. It was finally agreed that they should, however, there still remains a great deal of debate and controversy surrounding the issue.
So what was the problem?
The central problem was that its members were drawn from a wide range of disciplines (see below), so it has always been and still remains difficult to state what the boundaries are when addressing the question what is Forensic-Psychology.
A fragmented discipline?
Now while it is important to acknowledge that this fragmentation of role exists, it is just as important to realize that these different groups are linked to forensic psychology because their work, expert knowledge or research activity is somehow connected with the law.
This legal connection makes perfect sense when you consider that the word forensic comes from the Latin forensis, which literally means appertaining to the forum, specifically the imperial court of Rome. So in essence:
The debate as to what is forensic-psychology and what is not forensic-psychology rests primarily on the nature of psychology's relationship with the legal system.
Let me give you an example, imagine two psychologists meet at a conference and they begin talking about the work they do.
The first psychologist tells the second that she recently gave expert testimony in court arguing that the defendant in a murder case was criminally insane. The judge and jury agreed and having been found guilty on the grounds of diminished responsibility the defendant was going to be sent to a secure psychiatric unit.
Now there's a coincidence the second psychologist says I work in the unit where they're sending him, so I'll be dealing and treating this guy when he arrives.
So here you have a situation where two psychologists are linked to the legal system by way of a legal decision. You could argue, therefore, that both deserve to be seen as engaging in Forensic Psychology. However, there's a crucial difference.
The first psychologist actually helped inform the legal decision based on her psychological knowledge and expertise. The second psychologists involvement on the other hand arose as a consequence of a legal decision that she had no direct involvement with.
My preferred definition acknowledges this key distinction, namely:
That branch of applied psychology which is concerned with the collection, examination and presentation of evidence for judicial purposes' (Haward 1981).
If you adopt this definition, the answer to the question what is forensic-psychology becomes much more clear, because you are stating categorically that Forensic-Psychology relates to:
The provision of psychological information for the purpose of facilitating a legal decision (Blackburn 1996).
So in the case of our two psychologists, strictly speaking only the first can be said to be engaged in Forensic-Psychology. Now not everybody would agree with this, because there is a school of thought that would claim that any activity that links psychology to the law deserves to be described as forensic.
I'm not going to try and convince you which is right, the main thing is that you know that this debate exists.

Living in Las Condes (Santiago, Chile)
I moved in with my Santiago family last Monday, and I'm still amazed at this city. Most especially because of the contrast to San Dionisio and Bolivia. This city is so modern and has some really beautiful parks and architecture, as well as a very efficient and safe metro and public transportation system. Most of us are indeed living in one of the most well off areas of Santiago, Las Condes....
