Hello, You may be able to avoid back pain or prevent its recurrence by improving your physical condition and learning and practicing proper body mechanics. Exercise. Regular low-impact aerobic activities — those that don't strain or jolt your back — can increase strength and endurance in your back and allow your muscles to function better. Walking and swimming are good choices. Talk with your doctor about which activities are best for you. Build muscle strength and flexibility.Abdominal and back muscle exercises (core-strengthening exercises) help condition these muscles so that they work together like a natural corset for your back. Flexibility in your hips and upper legs aligns your pelvic bones to improve how your back feels. Your doctor or physical therapist can tell which exercises are right for you. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight strains back muscles. If you're overweight, trimming down can prevent back pain. Use proper body mechanics: Stand smart. Maintain a neutral pelvic position. If you must stand for long periods, place one foot on a low footstool to take some of the load off your lower back. Alternate feet. Good posture can reduce the stress on back muscles. Sit smart. Choose a seat with good lower back support, armrests and a swivel base. Consider placing a pillow or rolled towel in the small of your back to maintain its normal curve. Keep your knees and hips level. Change your position frequently, at least every half-hour. Lift smart. Avoid heavy lifting, if possible, but if you must lift something heavy, let your legs do the work. Keep your back straight — no twisting — and bend only at the knees. Hold the load close to your body. Find a lifting partner if the object is heavy or awkward.

text: Hello, I am trying to solve an issue with my computer. Whenever I play a facebook game, something strange happens. The entire windows freezes, I cannot switch to any other program, I cannot start the task manager. From time to time I can hear a very short beep from the motherboard speaker and that's when (it seemed to me that) the freezing stops and I can get my computer to react to whatever I do. The problem is that, if I try to return to my facebook application, a mere click freezes the entire windows again. And that's the only opportunity I have to exit my browser so that my computer doesn't freeze again (even though sometimes the effect lasts a little longer and I have to wait a while to get it going again, despite having exited the browser). This happens in Firefox (19.0), but a similar behaviour occured with chrome (something regarding the plugin crashing) and with internet explorer. All browsers are up to date. I have tried reinstalling adobe flash, I've cleaned up my computer with ashampoo winoptimizer, I've also searched my computer with a malware software, all to no avail. I should also say that it doesn't happen all the time, but more often than not it does happen. Do you have any suggestions? What options do I have? Thanks

Dealing with someone as unpredictable as Vladimir Putin is like playing Russian roulette, according to political analyst Mark Halperin.
"It's almost like dealing with the North Koreans," Halperin said on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Monday. "It's Russian roulette with a guy who is just unstable and isn't going to play by the right rules."
Halperin, editor at large and senior political analyist for TIME, cited concerns that Russia's president was not in touch with reality and mentioned a call between President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
People briefed on the call told The New York Times that Merkel said Putin was "in another world." The report could not be independently confirmed by NBC News.
Halperin called the quote attributed to Merkel "the scariest thing I've seen in the last 24 hours."
"President [Ronald] Reagan never faced a Soviet leader like this. This guy is ruthless," Halperin added.

Computing in the clouds
This website and the others I run have always been a 'do-it-yourself' affair. Partly this is out of my own passion for technology, and partly as a showcase of my ability to design and implement an enterprise-level architecture (a J2EE app server and DB2 database running on Linux, with single-sign on, SSL, JAAS security, etc., etc.—it all makes me drool!). Even the server hardware I assembled by hand out of the individual parts.
The one thing I haven't been able to do, though, is host video. On the software level there is no difficulty to doing this: just put the video files in the right folder. On the other hand, the bandwidth costs (in terms of performance, but also in terms of money if I were to try to address it directly) are quite high. So heretofore, my home movies have been shot in a beautiful hi-resolution 16:9, and then horribly downscaled and sometimes even distorted by Google video or Youtube. I have not been happy with the results, but this was the only way to share my videos.
Now, however, my tech interests and video hosting needs have come together in an elegant solution, the programming of which was the most fun I'd had coding in a while. The buzzword these days in the tech press is "Cloud computing"—a phrase which usually is just a fancy way of saying you pay to subscribe to something. But in the case of Amazon's Simple Storage Service, generally known as "S3", they really deliver on the promise of the hype.
S3 puts the massive computing resources of Amazon.com in the hands of anyone who wants to use their storage and bandwidth, for any purpose. You can encrypt and store offsite backups, share documents, or... host high-bandwidth content for your website such as videos. Amazon handles the redundancy issues, and Amazon has the capacity to deliver on however large a scale you need. And because of economies of scale, the cost is very cheap.
What S3 does not do, is provide much in the way of tools with which to use their service. There are more and more third party tools availible, but I don't necessarily trust the third parties with my data. (Besides home movies, I also plan to use S3 for off-site backups.) So I have coded up my own file manager like application to handle uploading and downloading content to S3, and keeping my private data separate from material I want them to host for me publicly. (It also encrypts the private data—more out of principle than because I don't trust Amazon. That also added to the technical challenge which made writing it more fun!). As a result I am now able to offer full-quality versions of my home movies on my website, and without breaking the bank. Cool!

Pros: Charges the device as fast as possible. The smart charge is awesome. I had previously purchased a ravpower and had to replace twice before i gave up and went with quality and I'm glad i did. The carrying bag is awesome as well. The light is super cool. The way you jiggle it to charge is instant street cred. Whats not to love?
Cons: I have not found a con yet.

The Reapings
Katie - District 1
I feel a bounce in my heart as I wake up. The morning of the twenty fifth writer games. My family do not know this, but I am planning on volounteering. I can't wait to go on.
"Katia. Get up. You need to get ready." My six month pregnant mum tells me, I can see she has been worrying already. Her eyes her teared up and red. I refuse to look to closely, fearing it will waver my response.
My two youngest sisters, Talia and Fearn come running in, shouting in excitement.
"The writer games are today! Yey. I hope we get a big chicken at the feast!" Talia tells me, jumping onto my lap.
"Do you want a big chicken?" Fearn asks me.
"Yeah, sure. Yummy." I tell them, knowing my mum would literally kill me if she knew I was going to volunteer today.
Darra came through. Her usual pout upon her face.
"what's up with you?" I ask her, raising an eyebrow.
"Dads yelling at Sard again!" She complains, plopping herself down beside me.
"what did he do this time?" My Mum sighs.
"I dunno. Something about not coming home last night." Darra shrugs. With another sigh, my mum turned and left my room.
"where's Raka?" I ask Darra.
"He's in bed. He doesn't have to get up till an hour before 'cause he is too young" Fearn answers for me.
"What's the time?"
"Two hours to go." Darra informs me.
"Okay. Time to get ready." I tell them.
"Yey!" Fearn and Talia yell in perfect synchronisation. They run over to the wardrobe in the corner of my room, then attempt, and fail, to open it. Darra walks over to them, laughing.
"Nothing to be exited about." She tells them, reaching in and taking out their matching Pink dresses. They scurry of to their shared bedroom to dress.
Darra takes out her own light purple dress and goes to her bed at the far corner of our room. I get up out of my bed and reach in for my dark purple, tight skinned dress, going back to my bed, I take my nightie off and shrug into the dress. I look at myself in the full length mirror on the back of my door.
My tall, skinny body looks back at me. Long brown hair cascading down my back. I pick up a large bobble and tie my hair in its usual pony tail. My bright blue eyes look back at me, a hint of excitement shown in them.
I turn to see my sister looking like a mini me in a lighter dress. We smile at each other before leaving the calm of our room and entering the chaos of the rest of the house.
* * *
An hour and a half later, we are all finally ready. We leave the house. At the end of our garden, I glance back at the house. Identical to the ones around it in every way, but also completely independent from the rest. It is my house. And it could be the last time I ever see it.
I turn back to my family, my mum holding little one year old Raka in her arms. Talia and Fearn skipping along together looking in all the world, like twins even though there is a four year age difference. My big brother, Sard, walking on the over side of mum, passing frequent glares to our father. My father has my mums free hand. Darra has my dads other hand.
Little old me walks two metres behind them all, guessing their reactions when I volunteer my self. I know dad will be worried, mad but also proud. Worried and mad from the fear of losing his eldest daughter, he will also be mad because of what happened to his only sister in the first games. She got picked. He was too young, by a year, to participate. She was the twentieth to die. My sisters will be jealous. Me getting all the attention. Sard will be delirious with anger. He hates the idea of the games and everything to do with them. If I survive, he will probably never speak to me again.
We arrive at the town centre. Kids aged eleven to eighteen are put into groups of sex and age. I am the only one from my family. My sisters and younger brother are too young. Sard to old.
I get put in with the other sixteen year old girls and quickly find a spot in the middle of my best friends. Nervous looks are passed between us as the town square goes silent I haven't told them what I am doing either. They would have told my mother and I would never get this far. The woman who had announced these games, twenty five years ago, walks steadily through the crowds of separated kids, to the front.
She stands in front of us, looking at us all with a big, sincere smile on her severely tanned face.
"Welcome everyone to the twenty-fifth Writing Games. Because of a large dispute that erupted between the top 24 writers. So each writer has been chosen to create a character. You, my dears are these characters. One of you lovely young females and one of you handsome young males are to be chosen to decide the best author. Best of luck to you all. And may the odds be ever in your favor." With that, she steps to her right, standing over a bowl I had not noticed earlier.
"Ladies first. Now tell me, do any of you brave girls want to volenteer?" she asks.
I take in a deep gulp of air, pictures of my familis reactions flashing through my mind, and raise my hand.
"I would like to volunteer as the female." I say loud and clear.
A loud collective gasp is heard around the court. The gasp breaks up into a million different murmured conversations. The female has to shout to be heard.
"All right dear. Please come up." I do as she says. Stepping away from my spot and slithering through the girls until I reach the wide passage way in the middle.
"What? no! Katia! what on earth are you doing?" I can hear my Mother scream. Talia and Fearn start sobbing. I refuse to look back at them, again fearing my resolve and instead walk purposefully to the front. I stand on the raised platform at the spot indicated. I still refuse to look at my family. My sisters are crying and I can hear my father cursing. The only sounds in the whole court.
"Thank you dear. What is your name?" She then asks me.
"Katia." I tell her, ignoring the sobs at the back of the court.
"Well. Congratulations. Katia. The twenty fifth writer games contestant from Dstrict one!" She says gleefully.
The woman then walks over to the other big jar. "Any males brave enough to volenteer?" she asks. No one moves. I look down at my feet, my heart hammering as I begin to rethink what I had just done.
I glance over at the males. I scan the crowds until I see him. My guy. The guy I have always had a crush on.
"Okay then." she says allowed, then, under her breath, "How disappointing." She she continues louder, "I shall pick a name.
She puts her long, thin, delicate looking hand into the jar and selects one of the thousands of pieces of blue paper. She takes it out, unfolds it and then, clearing her throat she says...

Hey ya I wonder about the traction with or without sub, I think it will help but will see I'm going to try with and without the sub box...thx for the suggestions!

Good luck op, tire pressure will probably be lowered depending on what tires you're running but it will take some experimenting to get it right. Try dropping 2 psi in the rears per run launch rpm constant and see where that gets you. Also make sure to max out pressure in the fronts for less rolling resistance.
Haha thx PEI you always know how to cheer someone up
Ill keep you guys updated when I get back from the strip, should be lots of fun!

Just focus on making as many passes as possible...the rest you'll be able to figure out pretty easily once you get more comfortable. You will be nervous, and that will affect your "performance" more than optimizing launch RPM, tire pressures, or shift points.
I've made hundreds of passes down the drag strip, and I still mess up.....

Ara Celi and Robert Godines founded Matador Men's Grooming after gaining years of experience as Rooster's franchisees. They wanted to bring the same quality of service to a venue that felt a little more local, like a classic barber shop. They and their barbers still partner dashing, close-cropped haircuts with shaves, head and face massages, and hot towel wraps. They also offer waxing services particularly focused on grooming the eyebrows, and hair tinting to banish the flecks of grey that show up as people age or slowly become statues.

A new horned dinosaur, Gobiceratops minutus gen. et sp. nov. (Bagaceratopidae, Neoceratopsia), from the Upper Cretaceous Baruungoyot Formation of the Khermin Tsav locality (southern Mongolia) is described based on a 3.5-cm-long skull. The nasal included in the orbital border suggests relationship between the new taxon and Bagaceratops rozdestvenskyi. It is proposed that, unlike other neoceratopsian families, the family Bagaceratopidae is of Paleoasiatic origin.

Mergers / acquisitions lawyers help businesses buy other companies, or merge with them to become a single company. For example, America Online and Time Warner merged in 2000 to form AOL Time Warner. There are many reasons companies merge–for example, corporate strategy and finance, economies of scale, increased revenue or market share, and cross-selling opportunities. Mergers and acquisitions attorneys understand business law, are often trained negotiators, and will be able to draft detailed agreements describing the new relationship.

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.

This review is from: MSI 970A-G46 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
So many many awesome features. Looks nice. core unlocker , auto overclocker , great update bios feature. New Egg did send me Lots of discounts on other computer components so I saved $10 ,But they didn't give me a discount on Mobo's but that' s ok . New Egg is great with returns or any issues I have ever had.
Board is very flexible. Almost blew my CPU only at complete idle in the BIOS. Amd althon 445 x3 CPU. MSI has a lot of mobo's with VRM issues. This one is said to be ok after updates . takes a long time to boot up. weird start up screens , no info on boot up screens . I had to pay $13 for shipping it back to new egg, But I guess it's my fault for buying a none working equipment.
Other Thoughts:
I was going to go with MSI because I have heard they make great Video cards but this motherboard was a no go for me and I will tell all of my customers to not even bother. I'm not upset though

Harness The Nutritional Power On Not #1 But #3 Powerhouse Superfoods
Normally $36
Special Clearance Price Of $18
Are You Harnessing The Power Of Ancient Super Foods In Your Meal Plan?
Could It Be True? Chocolate Actually Could Reduce Your Risk Of Heart Disease And Play An Essential Role In Melting Body Fat
New Study From Harvard Reveals Break Through Research Into Ancient Super Food Referred To For Century's As "The Food Of The Gods"
You've been told chocolate was bad for you... But luckily, nobody told Montezuma.
He was the ancient ruler of the Aztecs and has been known to only drink what he called "The Food Of The Goods"
"The divine drink, which builds up resistance and fights fatigue.
A cup of this precious drink permits a man
to walk for a whole day without food."
Montezuma II
But what does any of this have to do with you?
I'm glad you asked...
Chocolate has been something you have been told is bad for you and should be eaten only in moderation.
And yes this is still true.
However there is a key difference...
If we take traditional chocolate, take away the refined sugar, take away the dairy, and take away the other junk that's added during the processing and refining process.
We are left with the raw ancient super food, once held in such high regard in ancient civilizations like the Mayans and Aztecs, for its wonderful health benefits.
And the super food were talking about here is Cacao.
Whats The Deal With Cacao Any Ways?
So what is Cacao and how can it help you?
So what are finding out about using raw, natural Cacao as a part of our diets.
Just to be clear - Cacao is the bean from the Cacao plant which grows is subtropical regions mainly in places like Peru, south America and the Philippines just to name a few.
It is a fruit of which the seeds are harvested and used to create the basis of all chocolate products.
A lot has changed since ancient times and the processing method have also changed.
It is the core ingredient in all chocolate products today as we know it. What is also true, the quality of the chocolate available varies greatly.
Rendering this super food useless in those situations.
Because if has been processed and compromised. The once drink of the goods is now a major contributor to our belly fat.
The Harvard study which you can read here goes into explain,
That the evidence around Cacao suggests that before it transforms into chocolate, has been shown it can reduce the risks of heart attack and heart disease And has shown beneficial effects to other areas of the body.
Such as healthy weight management due to reduced sugar consumption.
This doesn't mean you should run out and consume chocolate like its going out of fashion, as mentioned before chocolate and Cacao are two very different foods.
But what it does mean for you is that there is a healthy and guilt free alternative available for you to enjoy plus you get the benefits of its powerful nutrients.
Combine The Power Of Not Just One - But Three Power House Super Foods In One
And this is why I choose Cacao as the main ingredient in my weight loss support formula.
The weight loss support formula is a high protein, super food booster derived from plant based sources to help you lose weight and maintain a healthy weight.
As an alternative to other weight loss / protein shakes on the market that are loaded full, sugar junk and other chemicals.
Along with the Cacao I have selected Three other powerful and nutrient packed super foods all 3 combined to create a great tasting, high protein low fat and low sugar alternative to other unhealthy shakes in the market.
Here's a run down of the super food inside the weight loss support formula
Organic Cacao Powder – "Food of the Gods" delivers raw chocolate flavor along with an incredible nutritional profile from it's abundance of antioxidants, magnesium, iron, omega-6 fatty acids, through to beneficial alkaloids such as Theobromine and significant quantities of tryptophan, a powerful mood enhancing nutrient.
Organic Sprouted Brown Rice Protein – has several advantages over other powdered protein products. Firstly it is less chalky in texture than others, so blends smoothly into drinks. Secondly, organic brown rice protein powder is hypo-allergenic and completely dairy free, so is more easily digestible. Thirdly organic whole grain brown rice includes the bran and the endosperm layers, not only retaining the fibers but also much of the amino acid profile. Lastly, when the rice is bio-fermented with natural enzymes , it greatly increases the bio-availablity of the protein is it makes digestion and absorption so much easier.
Organic Maca Powder – powerful strength and stamina enhancer, as well adaptogen, meaning it has the ability to balance and stabilize the glandular-hormonal system, nervous system, cardiovascular system, and musculature. Maca has a slightly malted flavor, with butterscotch overtones – we think this is why it works so well with raw cacao.
All these powerhouse super food combine to bring you a great tasting nutrient packed, convenient weight loss support supplement
Introducing Super Food Blend "Weight Loss Support Formula"
With all the food on the market it isn't easy to get access to the best foods.
Sure clean Eating is simple enough, eat lots of natural food, steer clear of the junk and your doing just fine.
But what if you wanted to take your diet, health and your longevity to the next level?
Reach a new level of well-being we can't always access by just Eating clean alone.
Including these super foods in your diet suggest a large range of health benefits
- Improved Heart Function
- Stimulation Of the Nervous System
- Improved Digestion
- Improved Kidney And Bowel Function
- Improved Cardiovascular Health
- Lower Blood Pressure
- High Antioxidant Content
- Mood Enhancement
- Stabilize Energy Levels
Each different food has different level of various vitamins and minerals, antioxidants to help maintain healthy weight nourishment and all the good stuff.
This Super-food combo is so jam packed full of vitamins and minerals and antioxidants so much so that ancient civilisations have been harnessing there power anti aging, and disease fighting properties for 100's of years.
So I thought to myself I ought to get my hands in some this stuff and share it with you.
So that is what I have done. I have created a new line of super foods to help you accelerate your results all by sticking to our Clean Eating rules and making sure you have access to the best super foods out there.
Not only that but take #3 of the best know super food to create a high protein weight loss formula you can simple add to shakes and smoothies to enhance and boost the nutritional content. Taking your healthy smoothies to a whole new level.

BANGKOK (AFP) – A fugitive Thai millionaire wanted on charges including royal defamation broke cover to protest his innocence Sunday in a graft probe that has seen relatives of the crown prince's wife arrested.
Nopporn Suppipat denied police accusations that he helped orchestrate the kidnapping of a man who owed him money, and said he fled to Cambodia on November 30 after discovering he would be charged under Thailand's draconian lese majeste law.
"I knew '112' would mean I wouldn't get bail… I couldn't take that risk," the 43-year-old told AFP in a phone interview from an undisclosed location early Sunday.
Under section 112 of Thailand's criminal code, anyone convicted of insulting the king, queen, heir or regent faces up to 15 years in prison on each count.
The comments from the energy tycoon – ranked by Forbes magazine in 2013 as Thailand's 31st richest man – are the latest twist in a corruption scandal that has rocked the kingdom's elite and led to the arrest of three relatives of Princess Srirasmi, the wife of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn.
The police corruption case exploded at the end of November when three senior officers – including the head of the elite Central Investigation Bureau – were arrested on a string of bribery charges in the junta-ruled kingdom.
More than 20 people have been arrested so far in the probe as the junta-backed police chief promotes an anti-corruption crusade.
But the investigation has also seen the palace fall under a rare spotlight at a time of deep uncertainty.

Avis sur les autres logements de cet hôte
It's a lovely apartment near King's Cross station. Debbie has been very responsive and helped us with any queries posed. The bedrooms are adequately size and rooms are clean.
The ensuite bathroom is a bit small and the sofa bed is not too comfortable. However overall I would rate the place highly and recommend others.
Had a really great time in this great position apartment. Debbie was very communicative and the flat was well provisioned with lovely linen and bedding.
Debbie's apartment was very cosy. It's very close to Kings Cross station. We were five people and there was enough place for us, although the beds were not that big. We really felt home.
We stayed for 1 week at this location.
Positive aspects were:
- cleanness of the apartment
- good quality of beds
- close to city center, underground and supermarket
- quiet street.
Negative aspects were:
- "bed bench combination" in the living room is a nightmare. During day time you cannot sit on it, during night time you cannot sleep on it. Very poor quality. The owner could have spend some money on this.
- although everything is quite new, the general impression is the owner saved a lot of money on furniture, dish washer, utensils, ...
- move the 2 furniture in the basement to the living room
- parking cost are high, I parked at http://stratfordintl.co.uk/getting-here/cars (UK pounds 25/week); 30 minutes travel to appartment.
- I took into consideration the price (+- Euro 2500/week).
The apartament is great. It is very close to St Pancras Station and King Cross Station. We didn't have any problem. If I went back to London I will stay there again.
Good quality for the price. The mattresses were only a bit small. Everything was also very clean and the service was really good. When we had a question, they reacted quick and solved the problem.
Apartamento muy bien situado.
Perfekt für sightseeing! Die Kinder waren ebenfalls begeistert! Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Super freundlicher Kontakt Von Anfang an!
Estuvimos 3 noches con mis tres hijos y el apartamento cumplió con nuestras expectativas. Todo estaba tal como se especificaba en la página web de Wimdu y no echamos en falta nada. La ubicación es buena, a 5 min. de Kings Cross, con muchas lineas de metro y bus. Nuestra estancia fue muy confortable.
Nuestra estancia en Londres fue estupenda! Nos encanto el piso, es muy acogedor, limpio y con toda la información necesaria. Todo correcto y de acuerdo a lo que decia en el anuncio de wimdu. Muchas gracias Debbie!

I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed staying at the Charter House - having not known a lot about Hollywood Beach beforehand, I feel as though we lucked out big time choosing to stay here, as it is a prime location, in close vicinity to the beach, yet a quiet, tucked-away spot that also afforded privacy. The room was perfect - great size, very comfortable bedding, well-equipped kitchen, extremely clean, AC/all the amenities one could need. We enjoyed retreating back to our room and having a very comfortable and pleasant living environment for a few days. I would absolutely return to the Charter House! The staff is also excellent - super friendly and very conscientious of their guests' comfort.

Deutsche Bank: trading the US jobs data
June NFP figure is widely expected to hold above 200K, Deutsche Bank economists say.
However, they note that to get the market exited the reading should come out significantly above the 215K median estimate, at least at 250K. What's more, is likely to be greater vulnerability to a soft number, especially on the Forex market where the USD has traded heavy.
Weak NFP figure will likely pull the dollar index (DXY) below the 79.75 support to the low 79 area. In case of strong reading strategists recommend buying USD versus JPY, AUD and the CAD.
Chart by Bloomberg. USD index
Economists recommend paying attention to the unemployment rate – it will likely influence the market expectations on the timing of the first Fed rate hike more than NFP. Deutsche Bank expects unemployment to decline from 6.3% to 6.2% (consensus: 6.3%).

Author's Note: This was my first slavery fic, and yes, I was aiming for a darker tone.
Hermione Granger could still remember hating him.
That thought always crossed her mind whenever she stopped to really consider her master.
She had been a spoil of the war, a gift from Lord Voldemort to his faithful lieutenant upon the celebration of their victory. She hated him, everything about him, with a passion she can now scarcely comprehend. Lucius Malfoy had once been the embodiment of everything she found wrong with the Wizarding World – with his prejudiced views and condescending concern over blood purity, he seemed outdated to the know-it-all teenager who dared to walk in the forefront of the battle against the Dark Lord.
Oh, how times had changed.
All these years later, she realized exactly how fortunate she had been. Lucius took her into his home as his personal assistant, or a "pet" as the elite called them. "Pets" were the body slaves, the ones who waited on their master's every need, including bathing them, helping them dress, even a sexual outlet if so desired.
Hermione had focused on survival, doing whatever she had to in order to live, but that didn't stop her feelings of hatred. She might have surrendered her body and will from the start, but her heart and mind walled themselves off behind a shield of hot, bitter hatred. During the subsequent years, however, that fire had cooled. She watched as other slaves suffered beatings, starvation, public humiliation, and every sort of degradation. In comparison? Her life was a dream world.
Nothing made it more obvious than a simple trip to the market.
Hermione followed Lucius as he moved through the stalls. They had come to find a laborer for the fields since his last one was being promoted to work as a "clerk," or office slave, but the selection was assuredly not up to her master's rather high standards. He never bothered to stop or give the selections more than a cursory look. They walked past a stall of servants, or house slaves, when a familiar voice came from the next stall over.
Lucius stopped, his eyes narrowing, before a small smile crossed his face. "Draco," he called.
"Good afternoon, Father," Draco smiled as they joined him. "How are you finding the market today?"
"A bit low on quality merchandise," Lucius noted with distaste. "Previous years contained much better crops."
"I must agree," Draco nodded. "The pickings have been quite slim. I haven't yet been tempted to take a second look at anything."
"It is to be expected I suppose," Lucius deplored. "The first few years benefited from the war's surplus. That has assuredly tapered off, and it will be awhile before new stock is available."
"Will the market be open to importation, do you think?" Draco asked. "That might keep the market active during these lean years as well as bolstering trade with our allies."
"It is a consideration," Lucius mused. He stopped and eyed the offerings of a brightly colored stall before curling his lip. "All I have seen is subpar offerings. Many of these should be given away or simply removed from circulation"
Draco glanced at her. "Your pet seems to be working out well enough for you."
"True," Lucius agreed. He turned a cool gaze on her as he played the leash through his fingers. "She was an unexpectedly good bargain. I had planned on snapping up Weasley as a laborer, but any idiot can pick crops."
"It would have been a good placement then," Draco mocked.
"Most likely," Lucius shrugged nonchalantly. "I admit to being a trifle disappointed when Bella managed to snap him up. She wanted a pureblood to play with, one strong enough to handle her. She's been taking him to play her little games." The corner of his mouth turned up. "I cannot decide if she is trying to break him or convert him."
Draco chuckled. "Wouldn't that be a sight? Weasley, best friend of Potter, taking the Mark?" He shook his head. "I would like to see that. Still," he commented, "you don't seem too put off."
"No," Lucius replied. "He would have been good in the field, but his cleverness and imagination are quite limited. Hermione, despite her Muggle heritage, has a great deal more to offer in terms of sheer intelligence and vision." His smile turned darkly sensual. "Her other attributes are more useful as well."
A flicker of cruel satisfaction lit Draco's eyes, but another wizard walked up before he could speak. Marcus Flint stepped up, a red leash wrapped in one heavy fist. He bowed to Lucius before turning to Draco. "It's done," he said, handing off the leather braid. "You should be able to run the exam to see if she caught in a week or so. She should have. The spell and potion are both highly potent." He shrugged. "If not, just bring her back and we'll put them to her again." He bowed once more and departed.
Hermione's eyes followed the line of the leash to see Ginny Weasley standing, silent and shaky, at the end of it. Her eyes glittered with hatred as she stared at Draco, but her face and body remained unnaturally still, drained of any vivacity.
"Bitter little creature," Lucius remarked.
Draco rolled his shoulders. "Her parents were too lax," he sighed. "It's proven difficult to train her and Astoria is simply too soft-hearted." He turned a considering look on her. "Still, she is a good breeder. Her offspring tend to be healthy, strong in both body and magic. Both births so far have been twins. The youngest are too little to be out of the ward, but the oldest set are in training. They should bring good money at auction."
"Excellent," Lucius approved. "Very good! And Flint?"
"We made a lovely little bargain," Draco answered smugly. "He's been looking for a broodmare to increase his stock. I negotiated her services for that villa in Tuscany Astoria loves."
"A nice bargain," Lucius agreed. "It seems a bit quick for a day's work."
"I dropped her off two days ago," Draco explained. "He chose his best males and put them to her. We shall see in a week. If she takes, he receives the young and signs over the villa."
"I look forward to hearing about your efforts in improving the stock," Lucius congratulated him.
The men finished their conversation and separated with promises to plan a family dinner sometime soon. Lucius continued browsing the marketplace, more from curiosity it appeared than any real expectation. He examined a few of the offerings, but never with enough interest to require a full inspection.
Hermione spotted an unexpected bargain. "Master," she whispered. He lifted an eyebrow at her and she nodded to small display half hidden in a nearby corner. "You should look at that one."
"Why?" he demanded, eyeing the dingy booth in distaste.
"The male being offered was the best student in Herbology when…" her voice trailed off as she caught herself. "When Master's son was a student there." Lucius disapproved of anything that might equate her with the purebloods.
A look of surprise filtered into his gaze. "Well, well, well," his lips lifted in a pitiless smile. "Interesting." He moved towards the booth.
A brutish looking man stepped out of the shadows. "Lord Malfoy," he gave a bow. "Somethin' I can do for you?"
"This male," Lucius gesture. "He is for sale?"
"Anything here with a collar has a price," the fellow replied. He ran an eye over Hermione. "Or I can do a trade." Lucius slid him a baleful look that had him backing down. "Yes, my lord, he is for sale."
"Let me see him."
The man pulled the male into the sunlight. Like everyone else, Neville Longbottom had been transformed by Voldemort's victory. His body appeared much tougher, accustomed to the heavy labors of the field, while a jaundiced experience replaced the naïve innocence that once presented in his eyes. The marks of work and harsh treatment lined his hands and back as he stood stoically through the primary examination.
Lucius rubbed his chin in consideration. "He is healthy? No physical issues?"
"Healthy as a horse, my lord."
"Strip him."
Neville gave Hermione a look of acceptance as Lucius conducted a full examination, checking him over verifying he was whole and healthy. She returned a slow blink. They shared an understanding - both of them had chosen to survive, and pride had been one of their first sacrifices.
"Why are you selling him?" Lucius demanded.
"Debts, my lord," the fellow answered, looking away in shame. "He's the only one that'd have a chance at bringin' in what I need."
A calculating look entered Lucius eyes. "Let us discuss a price then."
Hermione and Neville waited patiently as the haggling went on. Eventually they settled on a price and Lucius paid the man as Neville pulled on a pair of trousers. Lucius accepted his leash. "Such a sad ending for the Longbottoms." Lucius shook his head. "Hermione?"
"Master?" Hermione stepped forward and took the leash.
"Come along now," Lucius ordered. "We can finally be going."
They began moving towards the center of the marketplace to catch a transport to Diagon Alley. People parted before Lucius, giving Voldemort's chief lieutenant a wide berth. Despite their fear, several of them tried calling out to him, trying to tempt him to view their stock. A sneer sent them scurrying back.
"Scaring the commoners, Lucius?"
Lucius turned to face the speaker. "Bellatrix, this is a surprise."
"I hate the market," she scowled, her glare causing people to duck and flee.
"Yes," Lucius drawled out. "I know. Why are you here?"
She rolled her eyes. "I need a new scullery maid."
"Did the Dark Lord not give you one last week?" he raised his brows.
"Stupid female," she grumbled. "Moan, cry, and whimper; it's all she could do." She huffed out a breath. "Female couldn't even scream properly. Could she, Weasley?" Bellatrix glanced over her shoulder.
"Not at all, Mistress."
Hermione bit her tongue at the sight of Ron Weasley as he came up to the group. The boy who had been one of her best friends, and might have been something more if everything had been different, seemed to have disappeared. In his place there stood a wild eyed figure wearing his face like a mask. A bestial light glowed in his eyes and sneer rested on his lips. Something red stained his fingers and his nails appeared almost black.
"Don't you ever clean your creatures up, Bellatrix?" Lucius eyed Ron with repugnance.
"We haven't had time," she replied airily. "We just got here." Lucius eyed her and she shrugged. "We ran into some lost Muggle female on the way here. It was too convenient."
Ron's eyes slid over Neville without much recognition. Something flared in them when he saw Hermione, but before it could spark any memory, something else seemed to push it aside, something dark. She stepped away, slipping behind Lucius.
He glanced at her before flicking a gaze to Ron. "Your creature is disgusting, Bellatrix."
"It makes him much more fun," she smiled before sailing away with Ron trailing after her. He cast a look back at Hermione before the crowd swallowed them both.
Hermione's body shuddered.
"Did he scare you, pet?" Lucius asked her curiously. "Your old friend?" A wave of horror ran through her and it must have reflected on her face. "I wouldn't worry too much," he told her. "You're unlikely to see him often."
"Thank you, Master," she replied fervently.
He patted her shoulder absently. "Good girl," he said inattentively. His attention turned towards the center of the marketplace. A wave of silence spread from there followed by soft murmuring and surprised exclamations. Lucius strode forward with Hermione and Neville just behind him.
He came to an abrupt stop and sank into a low bow. "My lord."
Hermione did not even bother looking. She dropped to her knees immediately, yanking Neville's leash as she did so to force him to do the same. She bowed her head, eyes focused on the ground before her knees.
A soft, hissing laugh greeted her ears. "Your pet is quite well behaved, Lucius."
"Thank you, my lord," Lucius replied with a trace of pride.
"Too bad some of your fellow Death Eaters cannot manage the same," Voldemort's voice sounded testy.
"I was quite fortunate in your gift to me, my lord," Lucius answered.
Lucius gave a humorous sniff. "She actually has some common sense," he explained. "She prefers to be pain-free instead of requiring beatings; she likes some freedom of movement to being chained up – she chose survival." He chuckled. "Hermione surrendered voluntarily."
A finger touched her chin and forced her to look up. Her eyes came up to meet Voldemort's cold visage. She trembled and he smiled. "Do I frighten you?" No sound came out of her mouth as her throat closed up. "Yes," he said approvingly. "Yes, I can see I do. Too bad about your blood – I might have been able to help a half-blood, but a mudblood? No," he ran his finger over her cheek, "no, I cannot make such exceptions. Then I would have people petitioning for their 'good' mudblood." He turned away. "Should you ever decide to sell your little pet, Lucius, do let me know. I might be interested."
"Of course, my lord," Lucius bowed once more.
Hermione's head bowed back down as Voldemort spoke with Lucius, but he had moved enough for her to see the nude figure crouched at his feet. The male seemed meticulously clean for such a groveling figure; the 'dogs', as they were called by the masters, tended to be filthy. The only time they usually got a bath was when it rained. Could this be a new purchase?
The dog turned its shaved head and met her stare. Her eyes widened. A lightning bolt scar stood in stark relief against the pale skin. Harry Potter's vague green eyes blinked as if he were trying to place her, as if something stirred in his mind. He ran out of time before he could connect the dots.
"I shall see you at the gathering in a week's time then," Voldemort ordered as he tugged on Harry's leash.
"Yes, my lord," Lucius agreed instantly.
Voldemort strode away, Harry following in a half-crouching, half-standing walk. Lucius waited until he was out of sight before gesturing for Hermione and Neville to rise. "A most profitable day," he smiled. "I have a new laborer with a gift for plants and I've been promised a new servant from the Dark Lord's private staff."
"May I ask, Master?" Hermione spoke softly.
"I believe you knew her, pet," he replied. "A Nymphadora Tonks, half-blood." Hermione's mouth dropped open slightly. "Yes," he smiled. "Bellatrix's little niece. I understand she is married to the werewolf, Lupin?"
"Yes, Master," Hermione nodded.
"How very delicious," he practically purred. "With her in the house as hostage, I can be assured of Lupin's continued service. My control of his wolfsbane potion will keep her constrained as well. A good day indeed." He began walking towards the transports once more. "Come along, my pet."
The journey home from the transport station was quiet. Lucius had little interest in interacting with his chattel in public; he believed it besmirched his reputation. He calmly read the Daily Prophet as they waited for their stop. Hermione perched on the armrest beside him, barricading him from strangers, as Neville sat at their feet. A separate car was always available for the transport of property, but Lucius enjoyed showing off his wealth. Most people, even amongst Voldemort's elite, could not afford many slaves, and having two on a journey equaled a silent brag about the numbers still at home.
"I have some paperwork to finish," Lucius announced as they entered the manor. "Hermione, take the new laborer to the field quarters. I'm sure even he can deduce the location of everything." He turned to face Neville. "I want you in the fields at first light. One of the servants can show you the way. You will find the rules posted in your room. Consequences for breaking them or failing to abide by them will be swift." He turned away, dismissing Neville from his mind as he looked back to Hermione. "As soon as you have shown him to the quarters, prepare my bath. I wish to wash the stink of the market away from me."
"Yes, Master," Hermione agreed. "Do you wish this to be a full bath?"
His lips curved into a wickedly licentious smile. "Yes," he affirmed softly as he reached up the play with a lock of her hair. "I could do with the relaxation of a full bath." He let the lock slide through his fingers as his hand drifted down to trace the low neckline of her top. "Wear the white today," he commanded. "I do enjoy how the water affects it."
"Of course, Master," she nodded.
Lucius turned away with a smile and she led Neville to the field quarters. He tried to speak at one point, but she held a finger to her lips and tapped her ears. He nodded in understanding. Lucius would hear of anything said or done under his roof, Hermione knew. Between the scrying spells and the house elves, every whisper would be heard.
She left Neville reading over his rules and hurried to the Master's chambers to prepare his bath. The day played through her head as she waited for the small pool-size tub to fill. Days like this drove home how lucky she truly was in her life. Walking through the market, seeing what had become of so many others? It reinforced the relative ease of her own situation. Lucius could be a demanding master, exacting and precise in his desires, but surely he felt some affection for her? He never farmed her out as a broodmare like Draco was doing with Ginny. She did not have to worry a capricious temper tantrum ending with her dead…or worse, as she would have to fear if she were in Bellatrix's possession. He even let her keep her own sense of identity, unlike Harry's devolution as Voldemort's dog. He kept her as his pet year after year, and she had watched as pets came and went with alarming regularity among the others.
That meant he had to feel something, right?
The door opened just as she had finished adding the bath salts. Lucius stood beside the tub, watching as she disrobed him in her quick and efficient manner. He stepped into the steaming pool and leaned back against the side, eyes closing with a sigh of relief. "Ah, yes, my pet, lovely as usual." His eyes opened a sliver so he could watch her. "Bathe me," he commanded.
Her fine white chemise turned transparent as she entered the water and she shivered as his gaze became heated. Her hands moved over him with soap and washcloth, cleansing away the day. As she worked, his hands drifted and played across her body, at one moment soft and teasing, strong and demanding the next. His smile swelled in both ferocity and ardor as her body responded.
Yes, Hermione decided as his hands drew her close to him, he had to feel something for her, something virtuous. Even as his mouth closed over hers and she relinquished into his rising passions, she thanked all the powers that be she had ended up as Lucius Malfoy's pet.

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 03, 2009POSTED: Tuesday, November 03, 2009
I'm an employee of Qwest. There is one thing that Qwest can also do to block unwanted charges. If you were to callin and ask for a "PIC freeze," we can put a block on any company from switching your Long Distance, unless you were to call in to Qwest and remove that freeze.
I always scratch my head though when I see people paying seperately for their Long Distance. Qwest 99 times out of a 100 has a better rate for domestic Long Distance then going to another company and paying a seperate bill from the local services. For international Long Distance, Qwest can sometimes be higher, unless it's mexico and canada, then I think Qwest has the best rates.
If all else fails, just ask for a long distance freeze (PIC freeze)
