All reader reviews by Nata
I do love Uzbek cuisine and was very much looking forward to have a meal in Samarqand.
However, I was very disappointed. The food was very mediocre, to say the least.
The famous Uzbek plov was okayish, but just about. The portions for an Uzbek place are small. And for what it is, it's quite expensive.
The chebureki (pastries with meat) were not bad, but weren't good either.
I personally wouldn't go there again.

I have to admit that I didn't expect to find such good quality and authentic Georgian food in London.
The quality of food is really good and authentic. They also serve Georgian wine, which worth trying.
Very good service, waiter very attentive, at the same time not overbearing.
Especially are good khachapouri, and khinkali, also salads with walnuts are delicous.
Highly recommend this place.

Churchill Arms
I have been to this pub many times. Very pretty pub from the outside and in. For the price you pay, the food quality and taste are very good. Very good value for money, as the food is very reasonably priced.Very much recommend if you don't want to spend much money, but still want to have a decent Thai meal. The service is a bit poor though.

Although the Décor and ambience are really nice, but the food is very average.
Actually my main course was average, but my friends was poor.
The food is far from being delicious, actually quite mediocre and the portions are very small.
They have extensive wine list and really good regional wines.
Dessert was quite good.
This place is by no means value for money, as for the price one pays in Angelus, you can have much better meal elsewhere.
We paid £62.00 each for a very mediocre meal and a bottle of wine.

The good news was sparse this past year: There was historic volume in equities. That, unfortunately, is about where it ends. The S&P 500 was down about 40 percent in mid-November. And although that, too, is historic, the current financial downturn has been devastating.

A Heart's Fall Color
This is about somebody who can't find anyone to listen to what they have to say. Yet somebody finally grabs the heart and brings it back, to remind that person the important things are the precious memories, not the sadness which come from them.
A kind kindled heart
Always simply is torn apart
The falling pieces
Falling like leaves
Dripping colors
Which this heart bleeds
It built these colorful feelings
It's cut open and sore
Sky unravels it's overshadow
Deep gray overcasts the throb
I see leaves
Like blossoms
Falling from trees
They rake them up
And- just throws a heart away
Like fall
Listen to the yells
When the wind sets
Leaves a rumble
Sends a gust, to clear the streets
They yell so loudly
The heart beats quickly
We step upon this heart
They can't hear my heart…
Fall slowly gathers into winter
This heart was never recognized
It is ready to give up
The beat it always produced
And a hand gently brings the heart back
To where it belongs
Warm feelings these hands bring
The kindness fills the beat
The heart beats like never before
A smile for help it has received
So content
Like jumping in a pile of leaves
Fall is gone
Memories are precious
I will never forget this heart
And the hands that help me to
See the beauty of this art

Food Service and Nutrition Management STudent
"Completing the Food Service and Nutrition Management Program with CHA had always been one of my goals. After a great deal of hard work, much support from my workplace, and with the help of the staff at CHA, I achieved that goal! The in-depth program provided by CHA, has given me knowledge that will truly complement my role as an Administrative Chef, in the acute care hospital where I am currently employed. The well-organized learning modules, support from the staff at CHA, and in particular, the very informative and positive experience of the Intramural week held in Ottawa, made this program a wonderful and invaluable learning experience."
Karen Smith
FSNM Student
"The FSNM course offered through the Canadian Healthcare Association provided me with the knowledge necessary to effectively meet the nutritional needs of our residents and to maintain compliance within the LTCHA. Both the clinical aspects of the course and the practical experience have allowed me to become an educated resource for my department and to offer support for the entire care team. In my opinion, this program fully prepares students for success in the field of Nutrition Management. It was challenging, and also rewarding!"

Phantom of the underground
i am 14 this is just 1 piece from bout 5 months ago, it is about a block in the underground, well i aint gonna tell u the lot, lol just read :) =]
oh and very short.
The colourless underground, fell silent. The strong oudor of sweat and urine careered up my nose; my lips were parched. A wave of quakes trembled down my spine-i felt like someone was closely observing my every movement. A sudden thud instantly diverted my attention. Wham! A trange shadow figure slames into my face.
"The time; i'm late for work, my boss is strict." I rushed to the underground as quick as humanly possible. i sighed as i made it with 5 minutes to spare.
Later; now everyone is relaxing at home, it's time for me to lock up the station. Silence fell over the underground. It resembled my dream from lastnight. My heart started thumping rapidly. Then, i had that feeling again, the feeling that someone was watching me. I ran without delay.
I could not hear anything around me, but i knew, whatever was following me was still there, following closely behind me. Every stepo i took my heart would double the pace.
As i was running i saw a chance, a chance to escape. It was a small vent. Knowing i would fit in the vent because of my petit build, i wrenched the front of the vent off of the wall. i climbed in as rapidely as i could. i was in such a hurry climbing in lead to me hitting my head on a loose nail. I started feeling light-headed and nauseous. The lights faded slowly from my surroundings.
I woke up with light pouring back into my eyes like a waterfall. Some questions were passing through my head: Where am i? How did i get here? Am i still alive? I peered over my body for injuries. I couldn't seem to find any. I seemed fine for now, exept i am strapped to some sort of bed, my arms by my thighs and legs straped together. All i could move was my head. Above me was a vast light. come to think of it, the light is like the surgery ones. I peered around me. I said to myself "i'm sure i am in a hospital of some kind."
The light above my head started flashing frequently. It was like i was out of some sort of horror film. I heard footsteps comeing from behind me.
Jugeing by the sound of the planes, i must be in the old mental institution. it was closed down about 50 years ago from today.
The footsteps got louder and louder. Then a shadow leaned infront of the light above my head. The shadow suddenly pulled out a shiny object, it was a knife. The shadow then picked up a surgens mask and placed it on his face. i suddenly felt numb as the shadows face started to come into view. The shadow was walking round me. His face, it was like it wasn't there

Asia should prepare for more taper turmoil By: Published on: September, 2013 Investors may have been too quick to jettison Asian assets during their recent pullback from emerging markets. While some economies – including India and Indonesia – have proved vulnerable to fears of scarcer global liquidity, Asia's emerging economies still boast stronger macro fundamentals and are better prepared for capital outflows than during earlier crises. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Louis Kuijs, Chief China Economist at RBS Asian economies have stronger current account positions now and Asias most important economy, China, is also protected by capital controls. That barrier means that relatively little foreign portfolio capital flowed into the country as a result of the Federal Reserves QE programme, so it has seen little of investor panic suffered by other emerging currencies and markets. The ability to service foreign debt across much of Asia is substantially less worrisome than in the recent past, exchange rates are more flexible and central banks have larger foreign currency reserves to defend currencies. Nor have the long-term prospects of emerging markets in Asia changed suddenly. With productivity and income across emerging markets still so much lower than in advanced economies and Asia having shown it can tap such growth potential, these countries are likely to remain the key drivers of global growth in the coming decades. The manufacturing economies of Asia in particular should welcome the coming normalisation of US monetary policy as a signal of renewed growth in its most important export market. The winding-down of US bond purchases is good news not something to be feared as more short-termist markets seem to view it. While Fed talk of tapering QE has clearly reversed some EM flows, the regions economies can be confident that sudden changes in US monetary policy are not on the agenda. The gradual reduction of bond purchases is conditional on positive growth and employment numbers. US interest rates should remain at between zero and 0.25 per cent until 2015. Nevertheless, we cannot rule out further market turbulence and a further correction, especially given the tendency of financial markets to overreact and overshoot. Policymakers in Asia should now plan how to mitigate further taper turmoil. Even those countries such as China, which are relatively insulated from the withdrawal of foreign capital, would be affected should growth in other emerging markets be further weakened by more capital outflow. First, Asian nations should limit the size of current account deficits and maintain a sustainable macroeconomic position by avoiding policies that are too expansionary. Growth remains vital but it must be fostered by productivity-enhancing structural reforms rather than expansionary policies. In heeding lessons from the current turmoil, policymakers should also resist going cold on the use of foreign capital inflows. In principle there is nothing wrong with them if they are drawn in by a countrys growth story and a healthy investment climate rather than short-term, speculative gains. Still, it is best not to rely too heavily on financial inflows. Sometimes that could well mean introducing sensible forms of capital control. Indeed, in China, the latest bout of market turmoil underscores the need for a cautious approach to financial reform and the opening up of its capital account. Finally, Asian countries should ensure they have adequate systems to assist each other in times of stress or crisis. The last decade has seen the roll out of many bilateral swap lines and other arrangements but thus far, they not been greatly used. Governments should ensure that existing arrangements are prepped and ready and would do well to explore whether further opportunities for mutual financial assistance exist.

Australian asylum seeker video condemned
Video footage of the Australian immigration minister telling asylum seekers they will never be welcome in Australia, is being condemned by human rights advocates.
Video footage of the Australian immigration minister telling asylum seekers they will never be welcome in Australia, is being condemned by human rights advocates.
The video of Scott Morrison has been shown to detainees on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
Christopher Gilbert begins this report with Mr Morrison telling asylum seekers that even if they have a valid claim to refugee status, they will not be welcome in Australia.
SCOTT MORRISON: You have been brought to this place here because you have sought to illegally enter Australia by boat. The new Australian government will not be putting up with those sorts of arrivals. If you have a valid claim you will not be resettled in Australia. You will never live in Australia.
In the video Mr Morrison threatens asylum seekers on Manus Island to return to where they come from or face a long spell in detention. He warns that if any family members are assisted to enter Australia by boat, they could face even worse consequences. A lawyer specialising in human rights, Julian Burnside, says Mr Morrison's open hostility is an attempt to intimidate detainees and make them lose hope.
JULIAN BURNSIDE: What Morrison is trying to do is make the idea of seeking asylum in Australia look less attractive than standing your ground and facing the Taliban. The bottom line is that he wants to make Australia look uglier or nastier than the Taliban, and that's something which I think is a disgrace.
Mr Burnside says the video is part of Scott Morrison's grotesque approach to human rights and refugees.
JULIAN BURNSIDE: His demeanor suggests that he really believes what he's doing and that makes it all the more frightening. There's a sort of madness about his presentation that makes me worry that he is actually sincere in it.
A refugee rights advocate at Australia's Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Pamela Curr, says the problem is that three source countries of asylum seekers - Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq, will not accept their involuntary return. She says this is why Scott Morrison is trying to create as harsh conditions as possible to make them return home themselves. Ms Curr says it's part of the Abbott Government's policy to cleanse Australia of all asylum seekers.
PAMELA CURR: We have become rich and powerful on the back of the migrants from many countries. Why are we destroying that strength and that cultural richness of the mixture of people here by these bigoted, racist policies?
She says the video could be a dog whistle attempt to win votes, but there are Australians who oppose the approach.
PAMELA CURR: There are Australians who are truly worried at the direction our country is taking. We are worried that the nation does not seem to flinch as harsher and harsher measures are being introduced to destroy people.
Pamela Curr says the policies are straining Australia's relationship with neighbours, such as Indonesia.

Greek Frittata
There is no secret that I love feta and I could put it in everything. This simple egg

12 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 5 ounce bag baby spinach
4 green onions, sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
8 ounces crumbled feta
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add oil to a 2 quart casserole and and heat in
the for 5 minutes. While the casserole is in the oven heating.Whisk the eggs

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
Now, in 2007, it seems the results are all the same all of the time. So are these DC's now showing the same results from one or a small number of similar DC's? Are other DC's available that may show the furture SERPs? Or are Google keeping things under wraps?
And are there any other tools showing more DC results with a variety of SERPs?
I know DC watching is sad but it was fun!
The C-Blocks listed are current and covers the more than 700 known datacenters. WW member g1smd explains it here:
... Matt Cutts confirms that all the data at all of the IP addresses within one Class-C block should usually be the same, as typically they are all the same datacentre.
So, Google probably consists of 44 large banks, or groups, of PCs, but there may be multiple unconnected banks within one building.
I find it enough to check just one IP from a Class-C block, and to check a few different Class-C blocks. There is no need to check all 700+ active IP addresses.

Carrier code 31 on 58MXA (WeatherMaker 9000?)
Hi! I have a problem w/my Carrier Weathermaker 9000? (it's a 58MXA)
not heating.
Though the "component test" checks out OK, this is the ONLY time that
I see that I see the HSI energized (the ignitor). Also, the test of
the pressure switch in the op's manual (i.e., disconnect the inducer
motor, call for heat, and make sure that the HSI is NOT glowing after
about a minute) was fine.
I see a steady ~26VAC signal to the pressure switch.
Other checks:
- air intake/exhaust not clogged (good flow when inducer runs)
- inducer motor supply voltage fine (>120VAC)
- inducer cap fine (3.0 uF and resistance huge @ DC)
- install was years ago so PVC sizing must be right
- no backup of water in the drain system
- no clogging of the other rubber/plastic tubing (from the pressure
switch to the burner box)
So am I at a point where the board is in question or might it still be
the pressure switch?
I've tried shorting across the terminals, but an HVAC tech has
informed me that not doing it at the proper time or with the
connections previously ok (i.e., apparently you can't just disconnect
the leads and short the terminals) won't show the proper behavior.
Measure your voltage accross the pressure switch. If you have 26 volts accross the switch then it is open and it is what is holding out the rest of your start up procedure. This is assuming of course that your inducer fan is running. When any of your safeties is open you will measure the voltage accross the switch, if they are closed you will read "0" volts accross the switch but 24volts to ground on each side of the switch (in your case 26 volts).
Thanks for the reply!
I see a solid 26 VAC across the leads to the pressure switch (should've said this earlier). I tried shorting across these (with the leads removed) but I've been told that not doing it the right way and at the right time leads to a false neg...that the computer is actually a bit clever about what it's looking for...!
So are you thinking that this is a problem with the board rather than the switch?
Hi SteveAnnArbor
You definately have a draft safeguard problem. Lets start by removing the wire on the common terminal of the pressure switch. Start furnace up by using the thermostat. You only have 30 seconds to put the wire back on after the inducer starts, but you must keep the wire off the terminal for at least 2 seconds after the inducer starts. If the furnace fires up and runs ok, you will need to replace the pressure switch. If the furnace fires up and surges badly and seems to be running poorly. You will need to clean the secondary heat exchanger. This is a very long process and for the most part requires a proffessional to do this. It seems as though you understand the furnace sequence of operation. Let me know the outcome of the test I just outlined, we will go deeper into it if need be. But lets go one step at a time for now.
Good luck
Hi again SteveAnnArbor
I just read your second response. When the inducer is running and all the wires are in their proper location. You should show 0 volts across the pressure switch. If you are showing 26 volts across the pressure switch with the inducer running, the switch is not closing. If this is the case, start the furnace up with the thermostat. You will want the common wire off of the pressure switch to do this test. When the inducer starts, press the terminal of the common wire against the wire going to the n/o terminal and hold it there. If the furnace fires up you know the switch is not closing. Could still point to same problem as I listed before.
Good luck
Result of pressure switch test
Thanks for the tip!
I did this last night and found that the furnace NEVER came on...I tried each of the wires and made sure that it was between about 10/15 and 20 seconds that it was off, after the inducer motor started.
So does THAT mean that the pressure switch is hosed and stuck in some bad position or that the microswitch on it is dead?
THanks for the help; I really REALLY appreciate it (and so does my wife! LOL).
Well, thanks for the tip! I did this and--voila`!--HEAT. The furnace ran normally. I was getting set to go buy the pressure switch and I decided to recheck the outside intake (my wife had felt around and not found anything); we'd had a lot of wasp/bee activity this summer, and I was a little concerned.
We have one of those combined intake/exhaust ports which cover the pipe-inside-a-pipe PVC configuration (exhaust on the inside, intake on the outside; I presume that part of this idea--besides only having ONE hole through the house's "skin"--is that the heat from the exhaust air could be partially recaptured to heat the incoming air...so that you aren't wasting heat from the burning gas to heat the air, as well as cooling the exiting air; this is actually exactly what is done with liquid O2, say, for rockets, which you can see at most rocket park-style displays and at various museums). There was nothing except some condensate inside the exhaust pipe, and just a little dust and a cobweb in the intake space; I cleaned it up using a refrigerator coil brush and a vacuum (crevice tool) and...well, wouldn't you know it...HEAT with no problems.
I had no idea just HOW sensitive the overall flow was to what appeared to be relatively minor restriction of just a portion of the intake area...what an eye-opener! What a wild goose chase from an incomplete investigation of a fundamental; if I'd been thorough at the beginning, I'd have not had a few weeks of wondering if I could get this, myself. [ What was more misleading is that the exhaust flow was strong; it wasn't weak and so didn't seem as though anything was blocked... ]
[ FYI: I was also misapprehending the action of the pressure switch. I thought that the switch opened due to a signal from the board; clearly, it is a mechanical switch which operates directly in response to an (adequate) suction due to the airflow created by the induction motor, and this then is used to create a signal read by the board to say, "Hey, it's OK to proceed w/gas and ignition, because we've got enough air flow"... Your comments were part of what helped to get my head corrected in this respect; thanks!]
Hi SteveAnnArbor
I was very intrigued by your passion for the repair of your problem. I wanted to give you a little more information to help you understand as it seems you have a good grasp on the situation. The pressure switch on your particular furnace is looking for a pressure differential between the burner box and the exhaust of the inducer assy. This furnace is designed to run between a static pressure of 1.80" hg and 2.25" hg. If the pressure differential is less than 1.80" it will not allow the combustion process. I.E. restriction in the air intake or exhaust. The piece you see coming through the wall is called a concentric. It combines the air intake with the exhaust in a neat and clean looking package. This process can also be done with two pipes terminated properly. But does not look near as nice. Just happy that you were able to find and repair problem. Have a safe and happy winter.
Good luck

Also if you could include pictures of your IWB carry of a 1911 include those also, as I am researching this carry option.

Ok guys-
I decided on a 3" 1911 for concealed carry, I will carry it IWB, I would also consider a CCO 1911.
So I am looking to gather opinions on who you think makes the best 3" 1911, price should also be an important consideration.
So lets see some pictures and hear some opinions.
Also if you could include pictures of your IWB carry of a 1911 include those also, as I am researching this carry option.
I chose the Springfield Micro Compact. Couldnt be happier with my choice.
1. Colt Defender
2. Springfield Micro Compact
3. one of the Kimber flavors
4. Para Ordnance Slim Hawg
The small size of these guns is illustrated below in a photo of my Defender together with my Kahr MK9, a very small 9mm gun. Both the Defender and the MK9 have 3 inch barrels, weigh 24 ounces empty, and have a slide width of 0.90 inches. The Kahr has a shorter "two finger" grip so is slightly easier to conceal, of course.
I wanted to comment on your planned IWB carry mode. While a 1911 is easier than most handguns to carry IWB due to the thin 0.90 inch slide width, I don't think you pick up a lot of concealment advantage carrying the 3 inch gun IWB compared to a 4 or 5 inch 1911. That is because in a typical high riding OWB belt holster the 3 inch 1911 doesn't really extend much below the belt line anyway. So you only are hiding about one or two inches of the gun inside your pants, and the grip is still sticking out there in either case, IWB or OWB.
It seems to me that the discomfort of IWB hardly justifies its use for a very short gun. Note the photo below of my Defender in a high riding Kirkpatrick OWB holster, and how little of the gun goes below the belt loops. A normal cover garment easily covers the gun without much possibility of "peeking".
I'll chime in against going with Kimber.
I had a 3 inch ultra carry, and when it worked, holy G0D...it worked like a charm. Nice gun.
Then the plunger tube came off...then it started to get stoppages with everything from Hydrashock to FMJ.
Then I sent it back to Kimber unreliable and they returned it with a broken recoil spring.
I called them and it took them two weeks to send me a replacement part.
Mind you, they are in Westchester County, NY, I'm in Fairfield County, CT so this isn't exactly shipping parts from China.
They were unresponsive to my phone calls and didn't seem to believe returning a gun I sent in for service in an unfit condition was a big deal.
I sold it the day I got the new part installed.
If yours works, you will be happy.
If yours doesn't, you will be miserable till you rid yourself of it.
I carry a Sprigngfield Micro a lot. I'm one of those people who does not find IWB carry uncomfortable at all. I carry a Commander, Micro or J Frame that way depending on dress. A Micro does, IMHO carry differently than a Commander or full size 1911. It does need a good holster design and a good belt to go with it. I find it is my favorite hot weather, light clothing firearm. I can conceal it under a loose tee shirt no problem. The extra barrel length and grip length of a full size is not so easy, for me, under a tee shirt. The Commander is a good compromise but still not as easy, again for me, under a tee and wearing shorts. If it's really, really hot then the J Frame just flat disappears under my lightest clothing.
As for shooting, I've topped 4,000 rounds through mine. I think I like it!
If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
Pogo 2 do you have a picture of the pictured holster on your hip? I would be interested in this mose of carry if it was suitably concealed under a t-shirt, which is my daily dress with jeans, I have always heard OWB was more comfortable than IWB so I would be interested in seeing pictures......
I like the CCO because the slide is long enough NOT to require the Seecamp designed dual-captured recoil spring set-up. I had a Springfield Loaded Micro Compact (great pistol!) but I found the longer slide on the CCO carried just as easy & shot/handled quite a bit better.
There are only TWO kinds of people in this world; those who describe the world as filled with two kinds of people...and those who don't.
I carry the Kimber Compact or Colt Officers ACP. The Compact has the short grip length but a 4" slide for added reliability. It has proven to be a good gun and very easy to conceal IWB. I use a simple Bianchi #100 for this one. The Colt has the same short grip length and a 3.5" slide. I really don't find any difference in concealing one from the other because for me, the challenge come in concealing the grip length, not the barrel length.
You can see there isn't much difference between the two on the left in this pic. Both carry very nice, albeit a little heavy due to all steel construction. I'm good with that though.
So I scrounged around on the Internet and found this shot on the Kirkpatrick Holster website of a 3 inch 1911 (looks like a Kimber Ultra) in the same holster I have, the model 2145 Compact Undercover. I think you can see from the belt loop location where the holster would ride relative to the belt:
And Kirkpatrick is certainly not the only maker of high riding OWB holsters for 3 inch 1911s. Here is a Mernickle PS6 holster with a 3 inch 1911:
And here is a Black Hills belt slide holster with a 3 inch 1911:
Thanks Pogo 2 that really helps me understand where the gun would ride on the belt....it makes me feel comfortable that a t shirt would hang low enough to cover the end of the barrel my only problem with that is the shirt printing against the gun if the waist of the pants isnt "breaking up" the outline, any input?
Also does everyone feel draw from an OWB holster is faster than an IWB holster? Or can practice make them comporable.
Also does anyone have the street prices of some of the 1911's some seem to pricey other seem right in my price range from what I have found on gunbroker but I have found that isnt always the best indicator of actual gun store prices.
BTW I live in Blacksburg Va which is in the southwestern part of the state for a geagraphical reference on pricing information.
1. In a darker color, such as gray, black, navy blue, forest green, dark red, etc.
2. Constructed of heavy cotton rather than light cotton.
3. Cut with a longer tail rather than a shorter tail.
4. Large enough in the waist area to hang straight down and not cling to the gun.
Your build is also important, and it is best if you are not overweight or too large around the middle compared to your chest and hip measurements.
Finally it is important to have a good, stiff double thickness gun belt of about 1.5 inch width and keep it firmly cinched around your waist to keep the holster and gun from sagging or flopping around. A proper gun belt from a gunleather manufacturer will cost about $60 to $80, but it is worth it.
You asked about gun pricing. I bought my Defender slightly used for $700 about 1-1/2 years ago from the original owner. A new Defender these days is probably in the $850 range. I believe the 3 inch Kimbers and Springfields are in the same ballpark for a basic model.
Just brought this one home yesterday. Haven't fired it yet.
Had this one: with no problems to report. Colt Defender w/CT grips
Not a 3 incher but can conceal: Ed Brown Kobra Carry
Ed Brown Alpha Carry | Sig P238, P938, P232, 1911 C3 | Colt Defender, Mustang Pocketlite, 1911 | Rohrbaugh R9 | Browning, Buckmark 22LR(suppressed) | Kahr PM9 Black Rose | S&W|M&P C.O.R.E RMR Trijicon | Dan Wesson ECO

Amor Deliria Nervosa, anyone who likes the character Katie Bell should like you. I like you, as an author. Your stories are refreshingly witty ( starting to sound like a book critic, huh.) And they are realistic. Top that, wannabees!
| TotalTwins12 chapter 1 . 7/29/2012
This story is really cute, but it's kind of ironic. J.K. Rowling stated that Angelina made Katie and George go out on a date. Katie was George's first love. Just thought I'd say mention that, but the story is really cute, and it made my sadness for Fred come up again :-( still really fluffy!

Wow that was beautiful :) I have a bit of a confession. I read Life, Love and Other Really Annoying Things without reviewing cause I was in a hurry... and then this morning I decided to read all your other stuff and decided that I need to tell you that you're amazing! You can write a story that's funny, serious, beautiful, and tragic. and I love the oneshots and I love your stories and you're an amazing writer :) :) :) I love the moment when katie and george tell each other that Fred loved them. That was beautiful. And the ending is amazing too :) I am very curious about the almost-suicide. Very, very curious. I love Fred/Katie :) I don't know why, I wrote a story and threw Fred/Katie in like two thirds of the way through and then fell in love with the idea. I like it more than Katie/Oliver. Actually, I don't know who came up with Katie/Oliver but I never really saw that. Oh well, whatever. Oh and I was always curious as to why Fred went to the ball with Angelina but George married her. Once again, whatever, though. I guess that's what my imagination is for :) I think I'm now going to read your other stuff and leave proper reviews now :)

this story is soooooooooo good. I love it so much! I cannot get over this story

Loved this! It started off so sweetly, and ended on a sadder note. I hope you write more! Xx

MILWAUKEE -- Larry Sanders scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds -- one of five Milwaukee players to score in double-figures -- as the Bucks beat the Miami Heat on Saturday night, 104-85, at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. After blowing a 12-point halftime lead, Milwaukee used a 22-4 run spanning the third and fourth quarters to retake the lead, going ahead by as many as 19 when Mike Dunleavy Jr. connected on a three-pointer making it a 95-76 game with just over five minutes to play. Dunleavy finished with 18 points and six assists while Monta Ellis had 14 with nine assists. Brandon Jennings led Milwaukee with 25 points, seven assists and four steals while Luc Richard Mbah a Moute set a season high with 19 and seven rebounds. The Heat lost for the second straight night despite getting 26 points from LeBron James and 24 from Dwyane Wade. James scored 14 of his total in the third quarter. Miami (20-7) was sloppy early, turning the ball over seven times in the first half and falling behind by as many as nine points and trailed, 56-44 at the half. Miami erased the Bucks' 12-point halftime lead with an 11-0 run to open the second half and took the lead for the first time all night on a Lebron James tip-in at 6:03 to make it a 60-58 game. During that stretch, Milwaukee missed its first 12 shots and after making 22 of 46 shots in the first half, shot just 20.1 percent (6 of 29) in the third quarter. Still, the Bucks managed to stay close and started its comeback run with seven consecutive points: a layup by Ersan Ilyasova, a 3-pointer by Monta Ellis and a jumper by Epke Udoh to close out the quarter, down by two, 71-69. NOTES: The Bucks were one of only five teams to beat Miami multiple times last year, winning the season series, 2-1. ... Heat guard Ray Allen played his first seven seasons in Milwaukee and still holds the franchise record for most 3-pointers made (1,051) and is ninth on the Bucks' all-time scoring list with 9,861 career points. "It goes really fast," said Allen, now in his 17th season. "I remember being here and being the young guy." ... James has scored at least 20 points in each of Miami's first 27 games this season. ... Wade, who played collegiately in Milwaukee for Marquette, is shooting 58.7 percent from the field in his last eight games. He returned to the lineup after serving a one-game suspension Friday in Detroit. ... Forward Udonis Haslem missed the game after taking a hard fall Friday in Detroit. Shane Battier made the start in Haslem's place.

Chapter OneMature
A small, sweet, story about the brighter side of Ayra's relationship with the Hound as she comes to terms with him being a necessary ally rather than foe.
AN: Please be nice, I'm very unfamiliar with the GoT universe, some mistakes may apply.
It was the middle of the night, and winter was definitely coming - Arya Stark was shivering uncontrollably, she tried to pull the poor excuse of a coat that she had as her protection from the wind up, but it was old and tattered, not very thick at all and had many holes in it. Her stomach too was quite empty, even after having a chicken leg for dinner; and the fact that the Hound lay across from her, snoring his brains out, did not help her cause, and all of this coincided against her even getting close to sleep.
She swore loudly, continuing to shift where she lay, trying to get comfortable on a forest bed was a big ask - there was always either a stick or stone in her back, and a tree-root in her side, no matter how she contorted her body. Sleep was not something she could risk losing, she needed her wits about her whilst travelling with the Hound, especially since they had only one horse, and that she was the one riding bitch between him and the reins.
She didn't trust him still, despite him constantly expressing his motive in protecting her was to receive a reward from the Starks - but though he was leading her South, and though he kept on emphasising the point, Arya never wavered from her paranoia. She had not given up thinking about dropping a rock on his head, or putting his own sword through his eye while he slept - she had simply began to buy into his words, and whether they were truthful or not, she found herself hoping that they were.
The worse part about travelling with the Hound though was definitely the stench she had endure from him. Even now, where she lay, she could smell his filth filling her nostrils - like the smell of death after war, it did not go away, and she could smell it on her clothes and in her hair. She had asked, frequently, but he had denied the chance for her to acquire her own horse, stating frankly that he did not want to see the only valuable thing that he owned ride off into the sunset.
Arya sat up suddenly.
Attempting sleep was useless - she cast an eye across the dying fire at the Hound, anger billowing up inside of her; so often thought of it as unfair, that someone so heartless and murderous could sleep so easily, without a care in the world - when someone like her, whose innocence had been tested on the back of her father's death, found sleep impossible.
'You should sleep.'
Though she'd been staring at him, his voice startled her and made her jump. She could see now that his eyes were open, and they were looking directly at her - she automatically pulled the coat she'd been using as a blanket over her torso. Why she did this, when she was clearly fully clothed, was a mystery to her.
'Can't,' she said.
'Can't? Or won't?' the Hound asked.
Arya contemplated this. She supposed, in a way, it was both - she couldn't because of a set of circumstances beyond her control, and she kind of wouldn't due to being paranoid that the Hound would take umbrage of her while vulnerable.
'It's not that difficult,' the Hound went on without waiting for an answer.
He turned and faced away from her, and the fire, evidently drifting back to sleep.
'It might not be for you,' Arya retorted, there was venom in her voice.
'Just lay down and close your eyes,' the Hound said, without moving to look at her.
'Oh right, that's what I'm meant to do,' Arya said sarcastically, 'because I haven't been trying to do that already, makes perfect sense.'
'Just do it,' he insisted.
Arya lay down begrudgingly and stared up at the canopy of trees above her, still very cautious about the idea of closing her eyes in his company.
'Now imagine you're wrapped up in your four-posted bed back at home,' the Hound explained, causing Arya to crank her neck and look at the back of him.
'I may be a Stark,' she said, 'but I definitely don't sleep in a Kings bed.'
'Whatever cot you sleep in then,' the Hound practically shouted, 'just picture that yourself under the thick woollen blankets, dressed from head to toe in all manner of clothing, and the heat from the roaring fireplace blistering your skin...'
And just like that, the next thing Arya knew, she was being kicked awake by the Hound.
