A Blue Christmas
Christmas Eve 2009
When Nymphadora (but no one ever called her that, or else) no-longer-Tonks heard a muffled pitter-patter in the hall, she knew exactly what it was. She exchanged a resigned look with her husband.
"Your turn," they said simultaneously.
"I got up for Sirius' nightmare last night," Tonks (for that was what nearly everyone still called her, despite the changed name) said.
"I read 'Babbitty Rabbitty' three times tonight," retorted Harry.
"I'm growing a person. Do you know how hard this is? I'm like God over here." She rested a hand on the slight bulge of her belly.
He tried to hide his smile, and she knew she had him. "You can't use that excuse every time you get pregnant."
"Want to bet on that?"
"No. Three children – I've learned by now." He set his magazine aside and slipped out of bed, holding out his hand. "Together?"
She accepted, and together they padded down the hall, the sound of giggling now clearly audible. They stood in the doorway of Sirius' room and watched their children playing on the bed for a solid minute before Harry cleared his throat. Both immediately froze, wide-eyed, and when her daughter put her hand over her mouth, Tonks forced herself not to laugh.
"Why aren't you in your bed?" Harry asked sternly.
"I'm in Sirius' bed," Athena said after a moment of contemplation. "It's a bed."
Again, Tonks tried not to laugh. At five, her daughter already showed signs of her smart mouth. "It's not your bed. You know you're to stay in your own bed."
"But I couldn't sleep!"
"Mummy, 'Thena says Santa Claus will be here soon!" Sirius piped up.
"Not if you don't go to sleep," their father warned.
Instantly both children lay flat, squeezing their eyes shut. This time Tonks couldn't help a tiny chortle. Biased or not, she thought her children the most adorable two people on the planet, both sporting brand-new sleepsuits (gifts from Grandma), with wildly tousled brown hair.
"We're asleep now!" Athena told them, her eyes still squeezed as tightly as she could manage.
"Then how are you talking?"
That proved to be a conundrum. She opened her eyes, furrowing her brow. "But I can't sleep, Daddy. Can I go to your bed?"
"No," he began, but Tonks cut him off.
"Why don't we let them, just this once?" she said in a low voice. "They're all worked up, and they'll never get to sleep on their own, especially Athena."
"But we said –"
"I know, but once won't hurt. Besides, it's Christmas Eve. We'll put them in their own beds once they fall asleep."
"You're going to regret this tomorrow night," he warned even as he scooped Sirius in his arms.
Athena led them down the hall, cheering, and once the two were settled in between their parents, she turned to her father. "Tell me a story, Daddy."
"Athena, I am not reading 'Babbitty Rabbitty' again."
The little girl was not to be deterred. "Tell me … the story of me!" she concluded with triumph.
"And me," Sirius' little voice piped up, already thick with sleep. He snuggled against Tonks, placing his thumb in his mouth, and she pulled it away gently.
Harry raised his eyebrows at Tonks, clearly at a loss, and she smiled in return, shrugging. "Well … Mummy and I love each other so much that one day we made you, and then Sirius," he tried gamely. Tonks made a face at him.
"Nuh-uh!" Athena protested. "That's not how it went."
"It's not? How did it go?"
"Uncle Charlie said if it wasn't for him, me and Sirius wouldn't be here."
"He said that?" Tonks asked, amused.
Her daughter nodded, brown curls bouncing. "Yes, and he said he's the reason you married Daddy."
Tonks stifled a laugh. "No, darling, Uncle Charlie is most definitely not the reason Daddy and I are married. In fact …"
Christmas 2000
Hermione gazed around the room, wistful and happy at the same time. Harry had bought this house soon after the war, simply explaining the Burrow and Grimmauld Place held too many memories. He was more than happy to host any gatherings for the growing clan (as long as someone else did the planning), and by now the Christmas party was considered traditional. Everyone she loved was here.
Still ... everyone she loved was here with someone else, or nearly everyone. That didn't bother her, of course. Hermione didn't need a boyfriend to make her happy, and she'd had enough fizzled relationships to know that. Her friends, her family, and her work were more than enough. No, the problem was that no one else seemed to believe her. Whether it was her mother pushing her toward yet another client ("Jimmy Wilkes is much more handsome without his braces") or Molly attempting to set her up with every single one of her children, including Harry ("Yes, dear, I know it didn't work out with Ron last time, but you two are just perfect for each other"), Hermione was Sick. And. Tired. of being the recipient a.k.a. victim of matchmaking, no matter how good the intentions were.
"Alright, Hermione?"
Charlie Weasley approached, handing her another butterbeer, and she returned his smile. "Fine, thanks. Having a good time?"
"Oh, just splendid. I just spent the last half hour listening to my mother explain all the reasons I should date Tonks."
"What's wrong with Tonks?"
He chuckled. "In our last year at Hogwarts we hooked up at a party. After that we figured we'd give it a shot, but it took one terrible date to Hogsmeade for us to realize we weren't made for anything more than friends. Course, I can't tell Mum that."
"I suppose she still thinks ickle Charlie is her innocent little boy," Hermione teased.
He rolled his eyes. "I doubt it. But there are some things mothers simply don't need to know. Anyway, Tonks told her she was already dating someone, and that snagged enough of Mum's attention for me to slip away. Noticed you were drinkless and looking rather blue, so here I am."
"I'm not blue," she protested automatically.
"Okay," he agreed, taking a swig of his butterbeer.
"I'm not. I'm having a perfectly good time."
"I'm sure you are."
"You know, if you just came over here to mock me –"
"Hermione." He held up his hands. "I was merely making an observation. Sorry if I was wrong. Truly, that's all."
She blushed, hiding her face behind her bottle. Although he'd moved back to England after Fred died, she still didn't know quite how to take Charlie Weasley. He seemed to be a mixture of all his siblings, a little of Bill's confidence, the twins' wit, and Ginny's temper. She cast about for something to say. "So, Tonks is dating someone? I didn't know that."
He shrugged. "If I had to guess, I don't think she is. I reckon she said that just to get Mum off her back."
"Wish I'd thought of that," muttered Hermione before she could think better of it. She colored again, and Charlie raised his eyebrows, quirking a smile.
"Oh-ho, so there is something bothering the normally imperturbable Miss Granger?"
"No, it's just … why does everyone feel there is something wrong with a woman who prefers to concentrate on her career than her love life?" Hermione demanded, regretting every single word as it came out of her mouth. Why in the world was she talking about this with Charlie?
"Join the club, Hermione. Ever since Victoire was born, Mum's made it her mission to get grandchildren out of the rest of us within the year. And don't think you're exempt from that."
"Oh, I know. Believe me, I know." She lifted her butterbeer to her lips, surveying the room once more. "I think we're the only ones without a date. Luna and Neville, Ginny and Oliver …"
"I think you're right," Charlie agreed. "George and Verity, Ron and his woman du jour – besides the two of us, the only one I can see without a date is Harry." He sniggered. "And he's not being too subtle about who he'd like to fill that spot, either."
Hermione followed his eyes. Harry hovered next to the table of desserts, absently eating a treacle tart. His gaze, longing and unwavering, rested squarely on the resident Metamorphmagus, across the room laughing between Bill and Hestia.
"You think?"
"Hermione, he's about five seconds from spoiling his dessert with drool."
She smiled, half amused, half with pity. "Perhaps. Poor Harry. Don't you think she's a bit old for him?"
"She's what – seven years older? Do you think seven years is too much of a gap?"
Hermione fought the strange urge to flush, again, under his gaze. All she could think of were the seven years between the two of them, not Tonks and Harry. "Well, I suppose not."
Charlie snapped his fingers. "Let's get them together."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I'm Tonks' friend, you're Harry's – let's get them together."
She stared. "What are you talking about?"
"Aren't you supposed to be bright? You and I will find a way for Harry and Tonks to begin dating, say, by next Christmas."
"You want to play matchmaker? Merlin, you are your mother's child."
"Oi!" Charlie protested indignantly. "Take that back."
"Are you listening to yourself? This is the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard, and I spent seven years in the company of Harry and Ron. It's like something out of a romantic comedy."
"A what?" he asked blankly.
"A film, you know – never mind." Hermione shook her head. For having a Muggle-obsessed father, the Weasley children were remarkably ignorant about that world. "It's a terrible idea."
"It's a brilliant idea."
"They're going to hate us."
"They're going to thank us."
"You are incorrigible."
"You are defeatist."
"I'm realistic."
"And what good did that ever do for anyone?" Charlie winked and continued before she could retort. "Besides, think of it this way: if we're busy with those two, perhaps our mothers will stop attempting to set us up with every semi-eligible person that strolls down the lane."
"So to prevent people from setting us up, you want to do the same for someone else?" she said skeptically.
"Exactly!" he proclaimed with a triumphant grin.
"This is a terrible idea," she repeated.
"It's brilliant."
Valentine's 2001
Hermione barreled through the kitchen of her flat, hopping from one foot to another as she slipped on her pumps. She was going to be late, so very late, and she only had about ten billion things to do today. A piece of toast popped out of the toaster and she held it in her mouth, trying to twist her hair into a bun and grab her briefcase at the same time. She had one arm in her coat when someone knocked on the door.
She cursed, though mentally since her mouth was full. She was even more annoyed when she swung it open to reveal a cheerfully grinning Charlie Weasley.
He took one look at her and burst out laughing. "Bad time?" he managed between chortles.
"Mm-hmm," she grumbled around the toast.
"I won't keep you long." He walked inside without an invitation, deftly relieving her of her briefcase and sliding her coat onto her arms. "Friday night. You, me, Harry, and Tonks. Dinner. Sound good? Excellent. I'll pick you up at seven, then?"
She forced herself to swallow the dry toast. "Excuse me?" she sputtered.
"Operation Auror Attraction, phase one. The group date that isn't a date."
"Operation Auror Attraction?"
He grinned again, clearly pleased. "You like?"
"I … I … I didn't agree to this, Charlie."
"Yes, but you didn't say no, either, not outright. Come on, Hermione, it's Valentine's Day. You don't have plans, do you?"
No, she didn't, but that was beside the point. "I have to get to work."
In a few quick strides he stood in front of her fireplace, arms crossed over his chest. Hermione couldn't help noticing the way his muscles bulged against his shirt. "Just say yes, Hermione. Only an evening out with friends, that's it, which you probably haven't had in weeks. You don't have to do a thing except look nice, and I expect that's not hard for you."
It must have been the compliment, for Hermione found herself agreeing without thinking about it.
"Brilliant!" he exclaimed, tossing some Floo powder into the fireplace for her. "I won't keep you longer. See you Friday, Hermione."
As she stepped into the green flames, already five minutes late according to her wristwatch, she thought she saw him wink.
"So then Harry jumps on its back, of all things, and his wand goes up its nose!"
Charlie and Tonks burst out laughing, while Harry shook his head. "Covered in troll bogies. It was disgusting."
"I hope your takedown techniques have improved with time, Potter," Tonks remarked, twirling her drink with her straw and giving Harry an arch look that lent new meaning to her comment.
Charlie and Hermione exchanged a look of their own. She was having more fun than she expected. Charlie had shown up with flowers ("It's Valentine's Day, after all, even if it's not a date"), and that set the tone for a lovely evening.
"Hermione, let's dance," Charlie said all of a sudden, yanking her hand before she had a chance to respond.
They settled into a slow rhythm on the small dance floor at the front of the restaurant. Although it was awkward, Hermione was acutely aware of the warmth of his large, calloused hand around hers. She caught just a whiff of his cologne, something vaguely spicy.
"I wanted to give them a moment alone," he explained after few moments.
"Yes, that's a good idea," she agreed, then smiled. "You know, you aren't a bad dancer."
He smiled rather self-consciously, the first time she'd ever seen him anywhere close to embarrassment. "Can you keep a secret?"
She laughed. "Charlie, I promise."
He eyed her, a curious look on his face. "Yes, I bet you can. Well, years ago I was going to be in a friend's wedding back in Romania. The maid of honor was hot, I mean really –" He caught her eye and ducked his head, grinning. "You know what I mean. Anyway, I really wanted to impress her, so I took dancing lessons. Spent a month in the arms of a Gypsy grandmother."
Hermione laughed, quickly stifling it. "And did it work?"
"No," he admitted, shaking his head ruefully. "I've never seen a girl less interested in me, that is, until I met you."
"I'm not disinterested in you!" she protested automatically, then blushed. "Not to say that I'm interested in you, that is, it's just –"
"There aren't words to describe this ugly mug?"
"No! Not at all!"
"There are words?"
"No – yes – I don't think you're ugly!"
"Oh, then it's this ruggedly handsome face that has you all tongue-tied?"
"No!" she denied so loudly other patrons glanced over. "Charlie ..."
"Calm down, Hermione. I'm teasing you."
She glared at him. "You do that a lot."
"Sorry, but you're an easy target." He smiled, and she noticed that it was slightly crooked. His voice dropped. "You look nice tonight."
"Oh, why, thank you." She would never admit the time she'd taken to select the red dress. Not for the first time that night, Hermione wondered how in the world she had gotten here, dancing with her ex-boyfriend's second oldest brother and, she was forced to admit, enjoying it.
"Look," he said suddenly.
She glanced back at their table. Harry and Tonks were sitting close, heads bent intimately.
"There," Charlie said softly. "This hasn't been so bad, has it?"
She turned back. He was looking right at her with a slight smile, and for some reason she couldn't help but return the smile. "No. It hasn't been bad."
Halloween 2001
"Harry?" Hermione exclaimed in disbelief. "That can't be you."
Green eyes glared at her from behind wire-rimmed spectacles, the only indication that it was her friend. The scar was hidden behind a mop of blond hair, and he wore some sort of short khaki-colored robe over matching trousers, puttees, and boots. His wand hung in a holster around his waist.
"You are the last person I expected to wear a costume."
"Talked into it," Harry growled, clearly unhappy about it.
Hermione wanted to point out that if he hadn't dressed up, he would have stuck out more as the only person at the party who hadn't, but she thought better of it. "By whom?"
Harry sighed, crossing his arms and looking for all the world like a petulant child. "It's from Star Wars. You know, the films?"
She tried her hardest to hide her smile. "Yes, I've heard of them, but I haven't seen them. You didn't answer, Harry. Who talked you into it?" she asked, even though she was certain she knew the answer.
His scowl deepened. "Tonks," he mumbled. "Shesaysimjustlikelukeskywalk er."
"She says I'm just like Luke Skywalker." He shook his head. "Don't ask. I'm not."
"So if you didn't want to, why are you wearing it?"
He shrugged. "She showed me her costume."
He nodded over Hermione's shoulder, lifting a glass to his lips, and Hermione turned. Her jaw dropped. Though she wasn't immediately identifiable as herself, the woman who was clearly Tonks stood in the middle of a crowd of admirers, mostly male. She wore a gold bikini and nothing else, her brown hair hanging in a long braid over her shoulder.
"You tell me you could say no to that."
Hermione didn't respond. Her gaze drifted from the scantily-clad Auror to the redhead standing next to her. Charlie wore sandals that laced all the way up to his knees, some sort of skirt with leather flaps, and a red cape. One hand clutched a sword, and a gold helmet was tucked under his other arm. His chest was bare, so very bare and toned and …
"Hermione? Hermione?"
She jumped when Harry waved a hand in front of her face. "What? Oh, I'm sorry, Harry."
"I said, do you want a drink or a snack or anything? I'm heading that way."
"No, I'm fine."
She gave him a smile as he walked away, then turned back to see that so very bare chest directly in front of her eyes. Hermione jumped again.
"Alright, Hermione?" Charlie asked, grinning.
"I – I'm fine," she stammered. "You just startled me is all."
"What do you think of the costume?"
"I, um – you're some kind of Greco-Roman?"
"I'm a Spartan warrior," he said, puffing out his chest, as if it wasn't close enough already. So close she could see the dragon tattoo that covered one pectoral up to his shoulder. "You like that?"
"What? No! I mean, I've never been fond of tattoos."
"Oh, but this tattoo is special." The dragon, covered in dark green scales, seemed to stare at Hermione from beady eyes underneath two shiny golden horns. "This is Greta, a Romanian Longhorn. She was the first dragon I ever bred and raised from an egg."
"Like Hagrid," she mumbled absently.
He chuckled. "Well, legally, in my case." He glanced down, studying the dragon, who was currently blowing idle smoke out of its nostrils. "I think she likes you."
"She's – it's a tattoo, Charlie. She – it can't have feelings."
"That's where you're wrong. Greta happens to be an excellent judge of character." He caught her eye. "As I said, she likes you."
It was most disconcerting that she chose this exact moment to notice how deeply blue his eyes were, the color of a most idyllic, calm sea. He held her gaze just past the point of lingering, and then he grinned again, flicking his eyes to one side. "Harry and Tonks came together."
"What?" How many times was she going to say that tonight? Too much candy earlier, she supposed, slowing her mind. "Yes, they did."
"I think we're making progress, Hermione. I can feel it."
She refrained from rolling her eyes. This party was merely the most recent in a months-long line of dates and outings, even spending a week at the coast over the summer. Hermione had to admit she'd had fun, even when (as if was nearly every time) Charlie found a reason to leave Harry and Tonks alone, thus leaving she and Charlie alone. And Hermione had to admit she didn't mind that, either. Charlie had become a good friend through their long conversations, and even his teasing didn't bother her as much as it used to.
But every single time Charlie swore Harry and Tonks were on the verge of finally becoming a couple, and every time it failed to happen. Hermione hadn't noticed their chemistry or obvious attraction, but she was getting tired of their will-they-or-won't-they dance.
"You say that all the time, Charlie," she pointed out. "And even if she did get him to wear a costume, which I would have sworn no one could do, it doesn't change anything."
"Then how do you explain that?"
He pointed. Tonks' group of admirers now consisted solely of Harry, who stood far closer than mere friends normally did. His hand even rested on the small of her back as they talked.
"See? See?" Charlie gloated. "It's going to happen tonight. I can feel it. Mind you, I don't reckon any bloke in his right mind could resist that costume. I knew Tonks was well fit, but … blimey." He whistled.
Hermione stiffened. Was that all it came down to, showing a bit of skin to get what one wanted? She didn't know who she was more disappointed in – Tonks, Harry, or Charlie himself. "I suppose if that's what you're looking for."
"What's wrong with that?" He snorted, eyeing her costume. "Not that you would know anything about that. Who are you supposed to be, anyway?"
"I'm Jane Eyre. She was actually a very – never mind, that's not important. At least I have the decency not to lower myself to get someone's attention."
"You have to be kidding me," Charlie scoffed. "It's a Halloween party. It's a costume. She's showing no more skin than either of you, I might point out, did at the beach. What are you on about?"
"Nothing!" she insisted. "I simply find it extremely distasteful to see men like Harry reduced to a pile of drool by some bare skin. Even you can barely tear your eyes away."
He stared at her. "Merlin's pants. Are you jealous?"
Now it was her turn to scoff. "Jealous? Don't be ridiculous, Charlie. Why would I be jealous if you ogle Tonks?"
He stared a moment longer before shaking his head. "Yeah. Why would you? You know what, Hermione? Maybe you're right. Maybe this mess with Harry and Tonks has run its course. Maybe we should just leave off."
"Yeah, maybe we should."
"Fine. I'll see you around, Hermione."
She watched him stalk away. She'd gotten what she wanted. So why did she feel so awful?
Christmas 2001
Hermione sighed, taking a sip of her butterbeer. Harry's house was full of people, from the kitchen to the living room and even outside, but she'd rarely felt so alone.
Everyone was moving on in their lives. Fleur had a baby, Ginny was engaged, Percy had been promoted, and even Neville had a girlfriend. As for Hermione? Another blue Christmas. Her latest bit of legislation for merpeople rights had died on the Wizengamot floor, her last date had been with the son of her mother's university roommate and ended with a slap across his face, and she hadn't had a night out even with friends in over a month.
And she hadn't spoken to Charlie since Halloween.
He was here, of course, teasing Tonks, holding Victoire gingerly, and laughing with George. Not so much as a glance in her direction. Not like they'd spent nearly every weekend together for almost a year. Not, she was finally letting herself realize, that he missed her nearly as much as she missed him.
Suddenly the room was far too small, and she needed air badly. Setting the empty bottle on a table, where Kreacher would pick it up in an instant and for once she didn't object, she grabbed her coat and stepped out the back door, where she was less likely to be disturbed.
"Hurry up, someone's sure to have missed us by now."
Hermione spun around at the words and gaped as two laughing people ran into view, hand in hand, straight from the direction of the shed that housed enough Firebolt Mark IIs for a Quidditch team. Tousled hair, rumpled clothing, flushed faces, and swollen lips – she knew a freshly shagged look when she saw one.
"Hermione! Wotcher."
"Hello, Tonks."
"Uh, what are you doing out here?"
She fixed her best friend with a smile. "Just getting some fresh air, Harry. And you?"
"Oh, I think it's pretty clear what they've been doing. Or, who, rather."
She spun around again. Charlie Weasley leaned against the wall of the house, smirking.
"Wotcher, Charlie," Tonks called, not at all nonplussed and still holding Harry's hand.
Hermione tore her gaze from Charlie and turned around once more. She was about to make herself dizzy. "What's going on here? Are you two together now?"
Harry sighed and caught Tonks' eye, holding it for a second before giving his attention to Hermione. "Yeah, about that … we've actually been together for a while."
"And how long is a while?"
"Er, a year and a bit."
"A year and a bit?" she repeated, her tone just this side of shrill. "And you didn't think to tell anyone?"
"Where's the fun in that?" Tonks asked airily, giving her a grin as she walked past. "And technically, sweetheart, you never asked." She winked at Charlie. "Look at that, mistletoe."
They glanced up at the sprig of green above their heads. When Hermione looked back to see Tonks and Harry disappear inside, she could have sworn she saw the Auror's hand slip inside her pocket.
"So …" Charlie said, drawing it out. "Happy Christmas, Hermione."
"Happy Christmas, Charlie," she said stiffly.
"Come now, Hermione, you can't still be angry at me?" He took a step closer. "Tell me you haven't thought of me every day like I've thought of you."
That wasn't at all what she expected him to say. "You – you have?"
Another step. "Merlin's beard, haven't I? Your eyes … your hair … your smile … your perfume … your voice."
He was far too close now. "Why would you do that?"
He reached out, twirling one lock around his finger. "The brightest witch of her age, and you haven't figured it out? I'm crazy about you, Hermione, have been forever. Why do you think I wanted to take you along on all those double dates?"
"I don't know what to say," she stammered, finally finding her voice again.
"Say you'll stop being so blue at Christmas. Tell me what you're thinking."
Amazingly, she began to smile without realizing she was doing so. All those months, all those dates. "I … I think you are incorrigible, Charlie Weasley."
"Aren't you glad?" he whispered, lowering his head to hers.
As their lips pressed together, Hermione wondered who exactly had been doing the matchmaking over the last year, and then she decided she didn't care one bit.
Christmas Eve 2009
Tonks snapped back to the present at her daughter's voice. "Yes, darling?"
Athena frowned. "I'm waiting for the story, Mummy."
"Um …" She exchanged a glance with Harry over the two small heads. That was certainly not a tale for her five-year-old, not just yet. "Why don't we read one of the books Aunt Petunia sent you?"
"Okay, but I choose."
"I wanna pick!" Sirius took his thumb out of his mouth long enough to protest.
"I'll decide," Tonks said over their squabbling voices. Pulling her wand, she levitated the top book from the stack that had arrived in the post yesterday to the bed.
"Lazy," Harry muttered, and she aimed a kick at him.
"Mummy!" Athena said in astonishment. "Did you just kick Daddy?"
"Of course not. We don't kick in this house. Now, settle down. Santa won't come if you're still awake, and we have the party tomorrow, too."
"Will Uncle Charlie be there?" Athena asked.
"Of course."
"And Aunt Her-my-oh-nee?" she enunciated carefully.
"And will they bring Nicholas and the baby?"
"Yes, Athena," Harry said with a trace of impatience. If they let her, the girl would run through the entire group.
"And Unca Ron?" Sirius asked.
"Yes, Sirius. Everyone is going to be there. Now hush so Mummy can start the story."
With one more affectionate gaze at the two small beings between them and running a hand over the one on its way, Tonks smiled at Harry before opening the book and clearing her throat.
"'Twas the night before Christmas …"

Restoring The Londale Hotel, Step By Difficult Step
Photo by Mike Giglio
Getting rid of the roaches was the (relatively) easy part.
The Londale Hotel, on the corner of San Jacinto and Prairie, is "the longest continually operating hostelry building on its original site in Houston," according to its protected landmark designation. But it's been better known as a dilapidated, pest-infested flophouse smack in the middle of downtown.
"Drugs and prostitutes--let's get it all out there," says Tina Hanges, who runs the hotel with her sister Koula.
Hanges, who could pass for a socialite, was working up a sweat in her white turtleneck Wednesday afternoon as she vacuumed the hallway just outside reception. The floor, like the freshly painted walls decked with generic framed paintings, was almost spotless. So were the rooms and bathrooms. The Hanges sisters took over in October 2007 after the city shut the Londale's doors. Since then they've used nearly all of their time and savings on a piece-by-piece overhaul that started with filling five king-sized Dumpsters with crawling couches and mattresses.

Now they need to shed the reputation, and the clientele that flocks to it.
The Hanges family has owned the building since the early 1970s, leasing the Londale to people who allowed it to degenerate. Current managers Gerald and Debbie Bess lived and worked at the hotel before the shut-down as well.
"Ooo-wee. Yeah, it used to be rough," Gerald says. "The tenants that we had, they was mostly homeless and couldn't afford it. So we lowered the rent to adjust to them, and we got what we, or they, paid for."
The old rules were simple: as long as you could pay, you could stay. Along with higher rates ($45 a night; from $580 to $740 a month), the Hanges sisters have implemented a lengthy list of rules that has expanded to 36 since the hotel reopened on March 1.
Enforcement is another matter.
"They try to beat the system, and this is a constant battle," Hanges says.
People kicked out or denied a stay might send up a friend to infiltrate. In response to the nightly lockout, guests have used tape and hangers to prop open the back door. The husband and wife living in 111, by the fire escape, had to be offered a room change and the "sun, moon and sky," according to Hanges, to stay after a guest climbed up in the middle of the night and began pounding on their window. An attempt at a community candy bowl was quickly abandoned.
The Hanges sisters, who also own a snow-cone stand, had no previous hotel experience. With lots of help from the city code-enforcement department, they personally oversaw almost every aspect of the re-construction after the first contractor essentially ran off with their money. To the chagrin of her husband, Hanges has even been Dumpster diving for some of the furniture -- the microwave, the kitchen table.
"I think the distress marks make it look antiquey," she says of a salvaged end table in the hall.
Photo by Mike Giglio
Now she's been learning to screen potential guests -- to tell whether someone's on drugs, for example, or might get drunk and destructive. On a recent cold and rainy night, she decided to let a shady couple stay. They got into a physical fight that destroyed the room and spilled into the hallway, where a lone spot of blood remains.
The police took a while to respond, possibly because of the place's reputation. When they showed up, the officers couldn't believe their eyes. Hanges vows to hang on until this last phase of the overhaul is complete.
"My philosophy is we're broke now, but we could still be a little bit broker until we get the right clientele in here," she says.

Comments about Whirlpool 24.49 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator - Silver:
After the first month everything seems good. Only complaint is a vibration noise when the compressor runs. It can be be reduced if you tighten up the two screws (5/16 nut driver) just below the water filter door. The vibration can be completely eliminated by applying pressure on the metal bracing just behind the lower grill (something between the floor and the bracing). Seems like after all the feedback about this noise, this could have been corrected, if they really were concerned about quality.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Happy with purchase
By Teelie
from OR
I've had the fridge for 3 weeks now. I'm happy with the functionality, but it is difficult to clean off fingerprints.
Great product
By Moguill
from Fair Oaks, CA
Refrigerator is easy to use, easy to clean & easy to look at. Great addition to the space.
Great buy
By Vk
from Muncie, IN
I bought this refrigerator a month ago and it has been a good purchase. My space is a little small for 36" size and this is a bit smaller than some other refrigerators. Several reviews said theirs was noisy and ice maker spewed ice. Ours is extremely quiet and the ice maker has been working perfectly. The price was very good.
Love the Lock feature on the water dispenser.
By Checkers or Wreckers
from Liberty MO
Love the water & Ice dispenser on the door. I've never had this before. No more buying ice. No more opening the freezer door. The savings are already building. I Love My Fridge.
Just What I Needed
By HollyDolly
from Murfreesboro,TN
I bought this over Labor Day Weekend and I am so glad I did. Have had no issues and look forward to using it for a long time
Super loud
By mariela
from kingwood, tx
When the motor is going it is so loud you can't hear people around you. I have to make time to call somebody about this and figure out if there's something it can be done. Very dissapointed, wish i could have the time to return it but we are just moving here and it is too much going on. I gues we'll have to live with it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Nice Refridgerator
By Pickett
from Arnold, MO
Fridge is great. Only thing is I wish there were more ways to adjust the shelves.
Not as fabulous as I'd hoped
By Stacer
from Florida
I bought this fridge at the time I was redoing my kitchen to replace a 12 year old fridge that had started to leak. In the store, it appeared to meet all my requirements. Here are the cons and quirks... Noisy ice production - it actually sounds like there is someone knocking loudly. There are also strange and occasional periods of time where it sounds like water is trickling down inside the refrigerator and you are certain you will find a puddle somewhere. (I haven't yet, but it always gives me pause for concern.) The placement of the water dispensing tube is fixed all the way to the front and, if you don't realize that, many narrow mouthed glasses or water containers will miss the stream entirely as they lean in to depress the paddle. The light feature for the dispensing area is either always on or always off. I thought that if the light were "on" it would simply illuminate at the time of usage. There doesn't seem to be an option for that. The placement of the touch controls are below the lighted icons and, frustratingly, there are separate touch controls for light on or light off. So, if you approach the fridge in dim light and you want the light on, you need to search/feel around for the touch control for the "light on" function which is not illuminated until you select it and the touch control to select it is located with the other touch controls below the icons. Very difficult and frustrating.
Great Fridge
By what do you mean by nickname?
from Hurricane, Utah
I am very happy with the Fridge. I bought a stainless steel model and don't like the finger prints it leaveson the surface, they are very hard to get rid of, I should have bought a White Model. All in all it is a nicefridge. I would have loved an additional shelf.

Pires and Hargreaves excited for NBA game
The former Premeir League rivals will both be at the game at The O2
The former Premeir League rivals will both be at the game at The O2
Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier admits he made a mistake in playing veteran midfielder Robert Pires immediately after his short-term move to the midlands club.
Arsene Wenger has known Gérard Houllier since both men started their careers in the French championship 28 years ago, but the Arsenal manager confessed this week to being surprised that today he will once again sit in the opposite dugout to his old friend.
The 2-0 Champions League defeat to Braga highlighted problems that threaten to wreck a promising season
Blackburn Rovers 2 Aston Villa 0
Aston Villa today confirmed that former Arsenal and France midfielder Robert Pires will join the club later this week.
Arsenal winger Samir Nasri maintains players in the Barclays Premier League are not "evil", but feels referees should do more to protect players.
The Premier League table shows Manchester City are Chelsea's closest rivals, yet the defending champions do not seem to consider them as genuine challengers, despite their 1-0 defeat at Eastlands 10 days ago.
It may not be much comfort to the ruined physiotherapist Steph Brennan but there might just be a day when he can look back on the "Bloodgate" affair and remember that in the worst days of his life – and the sport to which he attached himself – he showed a degree of moral discernment.
The England winger is seen by some as an unfulfilled talent, but he is causing panic in the Catalan ranks
Spanish midfielder attacks Benitez on eve of key Europa League tie for beleaguered Liverpool
Wenger: Nobody would deny that we are in front of Tottenham / Redknapp: Arsenal do not have what it takes to win the league
Fans of the World Cup will see Henry's protest as evidence the event is not losing its lustre
Arsenal will be without striker Robin van Persie for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg trip to Villarreal with a groin injury.
Villarreal will face Arsenal tomorrow night still reeling from their worst 90 minutes of the season and the loss of one of their best players – Spain international winger Santi Cazorla, whose fractured fibula rules him out for the rest of the season. In need of a straightforward three points, sealed early enough in the game to allow him to take off his most important players, coach Manuel Pellegrini looked on in horror as Cazorla was carried off and Robert Pires sent off.
Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen was widely derided for his comical dive at the Emirates last weekend but, he tells Ian Herbert with disarming candour, he was tired, the pictures were misleading – and others do much worse
Atletico Madrid captain Maxi Rodriguez has issued a belated apology following his angry reaction to being substituted against Barcelona on Sunday.

Venturing into the courtroom for the first time is a scary experience for many. The circumstances are usually negative.
But high school seniors from all over Warren and Forest counties had a less intimidating introduction on Thursday in celebration of Law Day.
According to Judge Maureen Skerda, who presided over the morning edition of the event, President Dwight D. Eisenhower introduced Law Day on May 1, 1958, as a response to the communist world's celebration of May Day. While May Day was a display of military might, Eisenhower proposed Law Day as a celebration of freedom, Skerda said.

Standing for sentencing
Defendant Kayla Smith — played by Youngsville High School senior Samantha Tome — flanked by Warren County Chief Public Defender John Parroccini, left, and District Attorney Rob Greene — listens as Judge Maureen Skerda pronounces her sentencing on a homicide by vehicle conviction during a mock trial that was part of Law Day observances Thursday at the Warren County Courthouse.
About 200 students attended the morning segment of the event. They represented Eisenhower, Sheffield, Youngsville, and West Forest high schools, and Tidioute Community Charter School and Warren County Christian School. Senior Judge William Morgan presided over the afternoon session with Warren Area High School.
The theme of this year's Law Day was "American Democracy and the Rule of Law: Why Every Vote Matters."
"You can say your vote doesn't matter," Skerda said. "It does. It's something you should cherish because... (it is) not part of every country."
Jill Martone, president of the Warren/Forest Bar Association, introduced the students to a number of Warren County's elected officials: Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts Susan Kosinski, Register and Recorder Lori Bimber, Treasurer Dennis Munksgard, Sheriff Ken Klakamp, and District Attorney Rob Greene.
Voter Registrar and Director of Elections Lisa Zuck explained to the students, many of whom are already 18 and eligible to vote, how to register to vote. She added that students may change their registration address if they go away to college or may vote locally by absentee ballot. "You can have a say in who holds those offices and who represents you in local government," she said.
The row officers told students about their roles in the courthouse and county.
The office of the prothonotary and clerk or courts handles paperwork on about 2,000 active civil and criminal court cases at any given time, issues passports, and assists in the selection of juries.
The register and recorder's office issues and keeps records of and sometimes administers licenses and documents including wills, marriages, adoptions, and deed transfers.
The treasurer receives money that comes to the county and makes sure it is kept in the proper accounts. The office also sells dog licenses, hunting and fishing licenses, sportsman's firearm permits, and small games of chance licenses.
The sheriff has a variety of law enforcement duties, from courthouse security, prisoner transport, traffic enforcement, and arrest authority to investigating and issuing handgun carry permits.
Greene, who is elected, and Chief Public Defender John Parroccini, who is not, explained their roles in the court system.
"You've all watched cop shows and court shows," Parroccini said. "'If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.' That's me. I'm the best attorney money can't buy."
"My job is not to beat the charges," he said. "My job is to protect my client's rights. That's what I do."
"I'm the one who tries to put you in jail," Greene said. "His interest is that criminal defendant. My job is seeking justice - making sure the right person was arrested and the right charges are filed."
"We're all in the justice business," Parroccini said.
They both stressed that an overwhelming majority of the prisoners at the Warren County Jail are there on charges somehow related to drugs or alcohol.
"Don't do drugs, please," Greene said. "If you drink, if you do do drugs - it's stupid - if you do, for God's sake, don't drive."

I hope everyone had a great summer with some time for friends and family. Perhaps with the kids back in school, our OR lists are a bit shorter. By the time that you read this, many of you will have successfully completed the board examination in pediatric anesthesiology. Many of us have now successfully navigated this adventure and can put it aside for the next 10 years. I am looking forward to seeing many of you in San Diego for the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia meeting on October 23rd followed by the ASA meeting. At the same time as the ASA, the AAP will be holding its National Conference & Exhibition in Washington, DC. Our Section has two sessions that are cosponsored with the Committee on Substance Abuse and the Section on Adolescent Health: "Is Marijuana Really Harmless: What Pediatricians Need to Know When Counseling Teens and Families about Marijuana" as well as "Pain Medicine and Adolescents: Special Considerations."
We are actively preparing for the 2016 combined meeting of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia and the Section on Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine of the Academy of Pediatrics, which will be held April 1-3, 2016, at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. For those who may be interested, the abstract submission deadline is November 16th. I am anticipating our usual lively and informative academic events at the meeting. As always, the AAP Section on Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine will be sponsoring several events, including the presentation of the AAP Robert M. Smith Award, the Ask the Experts Panel, the AAP Advocacy Lecture, as well as the presentation of awards to the top three abstracts from our in-training colleagues.
The 2016 Robert M. Smith award will be presented to Dr Lynne Maxwell, formerly of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and now of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. As one of Lynne's former fellows, I can think of no one who deserves this award more than she. Please be sure to join us as we celebrate the career of Dr Maxwell who played such a significant role in the training of so many of us (see page 6 for more information about our esteemed 2016 Robert M. Smith Award winner). Dr David J. Schonfeld, Director of the National Center for School Crisis & Bereavement and Professor of Pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine, will deliver the AAP Advocacy Lecture entitled "The Second Victim: Impact of Disasters on Families and Caregivers" (see page 8 of the current SOA Newsletter for information about a new policy statement authored by Dr Schonfeld). Dr Courtney Hardy from Lurie Children's Hospital will moderate the session. Dr Schonfeld will highlight important issues regarding how our work affects us, our lives, and our families. The Ask the Experts Panel will be moderated by Dr Rita Agarwal from Stanford University. The session will include two speakers on topics related to the skin, including Dr Louise Furukawa from Stanford University discussing Epidermolysis Bullosa and Dr John McCall from the Shriners' Hospital for Children in Cincinnati discussing "Burns: Management and Complications." The final offering from the AAP Section on Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine will be the John J. Downes Resident Research Awards for the top three abstracts from our trainees. The session will be highlighted by brief oral presentations from the young investigators. Dr Kirk Lalwani and I will moderate the session.
The AAP Section Executive Committee holds business meetings at the SPA's annual meeting in the fall and again at the combined SPA/AAP Winter meeting. At our fall meeting last year, we officially welcomed Rita Agarwal as our incoming Chairperson-Elect. She will assume responsibilities as Chairperson starting this November after the ASA meeting. Also in November, Drs Nina Guzzetta and Mary Landrigan-Ossar will join the leadership of our Section as new Executive Committee members. In March 2016, we will be electing a new Chairperson-Elect who will serve as Chairperson after Dr Agarwal's two-year term is complete in the Fall of 2017.
The ongoing initiatives of the AAP Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine continue to focus on the improved health and well-being of pediatric patients of all ages. The AAP has endorsed a revised version of the 2012 SmartTots Consensus Statement on the Use of Anesthetics and Sedatives in Children. It has been endorsed by 19 organizations and was released on October 13 (for more information, see page 7 of the current SOA Newsletter). We expect that a revision of the "Guidelines for the Pediatric Perioperative Anesthesia Environment," to be titled "Critical Elements for Anesthesia Care in the Pediatric Perioperative Environment," will be published in Pediatrics in December 2015. We are also working with the AAP in hopes of creating an online CME course on pediatric pain management through the AAP's online CME platform, PediaLink. Thanks to Rita Agarwal for her amazing and endless work on this project.
The SOA continues their work on developing platforms for the education of physicians and healthcare providers on appropriate opioid use. We have been working with the Committee on Substance Abuse, as part of the by Providers' Clinical Support System for Opioid Therapies grant from SAMHSA, to begin developing a 6-part webinar series aimed at preventing, identifying, and treating opioid dependence. The first webinar in the series, which was offered in July 2015, focused on the Neurobiology of Pain. The second webinar, offered in August 2015, focused on Strategies for Pain Management. Four additional webinars will be offered in the near future. The AMA is currently working to develop a CME product for primary care providers on the topic of opioids. Rita Agarwal is participating as the AAP's representative to the AMA Pain Management Expert Panel.
Dr Connie Houck continues to serve as the Chair of the AAP Surgical Advisory Panel (SAP). The Surgical Advisory Panel is an active committee consisting of all of the Chairs of the AAP's surgical sections, including Neurological Surgery, Ophthalmology, Oral Health, Orthopedics, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Radiology, Surgery, Urology and Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine. The SAP Chair serves as the surgical subspecialty advisor to both the Section Forum Management Committee and the AAP Board of Directors. Connie's election to this post serves as a landmark accomplishment for pediatric anesthesiologists, as she is both the first non-surgeon and the first woman to be elected to this prestigious post. I know that we can look forward to many more amazing accomplishments from Dr Houck.
The AAP Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine recently published a 12-chapter handbook on procedural sedation, which Dr Joseph Cravero and I edited. The handbook is meant as an educational guide covering all aspects of procedural sedation for pediatric practitioners and nurses from various specialties. It represents a collaborative effort with our pediatric colleagues from various arenas, including authors from the fields of emergency medicine, anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and child life. Please take a look at it on the AAP website (http://shop.aap.org/Procedural-Sedation-for-Infants-Children-and-Adolescents-Paperback) and consider purchasing a copy for yourself or your department (see page 17 of the current SOA Newsletter for more information about the manual, including a promo code to receive 15% off).
The above items are just a few of the many benefits of belonging to the AAP, which continues to serve as the premier organization promoting the overall health and well-being of infants and children of all ages. Please encourage your fellows and faculty to consider joining the AAP and the Section on Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine.
After the October ASA meeting, Dr Rita Agarwal will be assuming the role of Chairperson of the AAP Section on Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine Section. It has been my immense honor and pleasure to serve as the Chairperson over the past 2 years. I have gained even greater respect for what the AAP does to ensure the safety of children. The successes would not have been possible without the hard work and support of the many members of the committee. I am especially indebted to the support, advice and friendship of Drs Carolyn Bannister and Connie Houck. I am continually amazed at the inspiring work of Dr Corrie Anderson in the preparation of our newsletter. Above all, I am indebted to Jennifer Riefe, Manager of the AAP Section on Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine. She is the "behind the scenes" power to the organization. None of our accomplishments would be possible without her guidance and gentle reminders.
I look forward to seeing everyone soon in San Diego and then in the spring in Colorado Springs. I hope that the weather will cooperate and that we can hold off the advance of winter for a few more weeks. I welcome phone calls, curb side chats at meetings or emails with suggestions as to how to improve our section.

Questions on the FY 2017 Budget Request
Early previews, from a $10 per barrel oil tax to a big boost for clean energy R&D, seemed to affirm that President Obama was going to use the final budget of his presidency to send a message.
Early previews, from a $10 per barrel oil tax to a big boost for clean energy R&D, seemed to affirm that President Obama was going to use the final budget of his presidency to send a message.
It's that time of year again – time for MCC's annual country eligibility decisions.
2015 was a big year for development – and for the CGD Podcast. We brought you key CGD research, spoke to major players in international development, and asked some tough questions: How can we help poor countries in ways beyond aid?
Earlier this week, CGD president Nancy Birdsall testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a hearing on the Millennium Challenge Corporation. A main impetus for the hearing was the introduction this summer of legislation (S. 1605) that would enable MCC to pursue regionally-focused investments with eligible countries. The hearing itself, however, was wide-ranging, covering the "current operations and authority" of MCC.
Britain's new aid strategy has important implications, not only for DFID but for international organisations who will either need to adapt or face losing some of their core funding. Here's why.
How can we make humanitarian aid better? Give refugees cash. That's the main recommendation of a high level panel convened by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID), and chaired by CGD's Owen Barder. You can read his blog on the Panel's report here.
The High Level Panel on Humanitarian Cash Transfers published its report this week, concluding that the international system should take deliberate steps to seize two big opportunities to improve humanitarian aid.
No one said creating development impact bonds (DIB) was going to be easy, but that hasn't stopped the development community from trying to get them off the ground. The Fred Hollows Foundation, based in Australia, has been hard at work on a DIB to address cataract blindness in Africa. As the Foundation attracts partners to help fund and implement a pilot of the cataract bond, Dr. Lachlan McDonald, the Foundation's senior health economist, and Alex Rankin, their Global Lead for Policy, Advocacy & Research, shared some lessons learned so far. With Lachlan and Alex's permission, we're turning some of those lessons over to you – we hope they're useful to others seeking to move ahead with their own DIB.
International development has reached a crucial moment in its evolution. Given the great progress in much of the world in the past decade or so, the paradigm of north-south development assistance is now outdated. All countries are engaged in contributing to global development, supporting sustainability and poverty reduction locally, nationally, regionally and globally.
The Financing Development for Development Conference is well under way, and this week's podcast comes to you direct from Addis to give you an update on the negotiations. Owen Barder, who has been in on the conversations, tells you what's being discussed and the likelihood of meaningful results being reached.

John Dufilho
In a dream world, John Dufilho's first "solo" album would be hailed by the major music media as a "return to form" for the songwriter behind the Deathray Davies and I Love Math. Rolling Stone and Spin would dedicate full pages of their October issues to the release, recapping the popster's rise to international fame and reprinting their reviews of his past six albums, including their foolhardy dismissal of The Kick and the Snare as "washed-out, half-baked tripe." (It's so hip to piss on a consistently successful band, ain't it, RS?) The dream scenario didn't happen, but you won't need those mags' attention to agree that Dufilho is full of the stripped-down, lo-fi charm that made the Drink With the Grown-Ups... so endearing in 1999. That makes sense, since DRD began as Dufilho's "I play everything in the band" project, so hooky '60s-style rockers like "I'm Outside" and "What Are You Waiting For?" deservedly sound like old DRD demos. Of course, it's nice to hear some experiments tucked between the throwback songs. The two-part acoustic meandering of "Nobody's Right, Nobody's Wrong" and the beautiful synth-string waltz of "Check The Engine" prove that Dufilho, even after writing a squazillion songs, still hasn't run out of ideas.

Dancing With the Drag Stars
Week after week, Americans tune in to watch Dancing With the Stars waiting to see which celebrity will make it to the next round of the tango. However, there is only so much excitement to be had over a bunch of reality-TV stars. It'd probably be more fun to cheer on some local celebrities as they battle it out with their drag-queen dance partners in a choreograph-style competition. Held at the Epic Theater inside the Manor (2345 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors) Dancing With the South Florida Stars II takes place on Monday. Diva and Philip Alexander will be your hosts for the night, while Pepper Mashay, Marvin Nathan, and Misty Eyez will be making the dance-floor cuts. There will be nine sets of couples, including Broward State Attorney Chris Mancini with Kevin Aviance and the Manor's own Gary Santis with Erika Norell, sambaing their asses off. At 6 p.m., a silent auction and cocktail party kick things off, and at 7 p.m., the dancers will start cha-chaing the night away. General admission is $10, or $40 for VIP. Tickets can be purchased at guymag.net. All proceeds will go to those living with HIV/AIDS through the Brian Neal Fitness and Health Foundation. Call 954-626-0082, or visit themanorcomplex.com.

Light and fluffy in texture while staying crisp on the outside; these are really great waffles, whether you are in the habit of eating gluten free or not. I loved this version. The batter was thinner than typical waffle or pancake batter, but it worked beautifully.
Whole Wheat Waffles with Waffle Sauce
German Pancakes with Orange Sauce
(printable recipe)
1 1/3 cups brown rice flour
2/3 cup tapioca starch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk or 1 3/4 cups milk, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
Preheat the waffle iron. Make the buttermilk and set aside. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the milk and eggs and whisk to combine. Add the melted butter and whisk once more. Pour onto a hot waffle iron and cook until lightly browned. Serve with the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
FREEZER MEAL: Let the waffles cool completely, before storing them in an airtight ziploc bag. Reheat the frozen waffles in a toaster oven or in the microwave.
