If a mere month ago somebody would have told Dean Winchester that he, his brother and the rebelled angel of the Lord would adopt a young wizard, Dean wouldn't have hesitated to shoot a joker.
Sam and Dean Winchester were searching information on a new hunt. Sam was looking through every local sightseeing site, and Dean was sprawled across the bed, reading the local newspapers. Suddenly they heard the sound of wind, and a moment later, exactly in the center of the cheap roadside motel room, Castiel appeared, making the boys flinch:
- Dude, you could at least call, - Dean grumbled instead of a greeting. Castiel blinked at him, and then sat on the edge of a free bed, so he could easily watch both brothers:
- I have news. You have to go to Virginia, - the angel calmly stated.
- But we have hunt here! - Dean protested the exact moment Sam asked:
- What happened?
The angel frowned:
- There are hunters already in this town except you. They will sort out your case. And you are needed in Virginia.
- Yeah, we got it, - the elder of the brothers answered, sitting in his bed. - But what is in Virginia? Did you find God?
The angel looked down:
- I haven't found Father yet... But I'll find him! - For a moment he was silent, then he continued. - There was a huge splash of energy in Virginia. Not demonic, nor angelic. I would like to check it. But I have some doubts, that is why I need to learn something. We'll meet in Virginia in two days.
Before the brothers had a chance to say something, the angel had already disappeared.
- I hate when he does this disappearing act! - Dean yelled. - And what does it mean?! Not angelic, not demonic? Why he didn't say anything?
Two days later Sam and Dean were already in Virginia and were trying to find some signs of the energy Cas talked about, until they heard the radio report about how in one of the local hotels the entire floor was painted with black paint by some pranksters overnight. The said pranksters weren't found.
- Don't know about ya, Sammy, but I haven't met yet anybody, who would paint hotels for nothing, - Dean proclaimed.
- I'm so happy that your company has changed the view on this event and decided that this is an act of hooliganism, - the administrator of the hotel was chatting happily, leading the "workers of the insurance company Tyler and Simm" up the stairs to the third floor of the building.
- The well-being of our clients is our priority, - Dean beamed at her. - Could you tell us more about what has happened?
- I know no more then you. Just one morning a scared maid had ran to me, and a bunch of displeased clients followed her shortly! I couldn't understand a thing, until I saw the hall with my own eyes! This is a scandal! We had never had such a thing! And whoever had done this, had to be fast and smart! Any camera hadn't seen him! Or, more likely, them, as one person just couldn't do this! And that paint! To erase it, we'll have to do a capital reconstruction of the floor! I had never seen such a paint in my life! It seems that it's already in the very structure of the walls!
- Ths is really... terrible... - Sam fell into a shocked silence, looking into the depth of the hall.
Everything in the hall was black. Walls, floor, ceiling, the doors to the rooms, even the pictures on the walls turned darker then night.
- Thank you, ma'am, we've got it from now, - the elder Winchester added.
- I'll be waiting for you in my office! Can't stay here for long! I become all fidgety!
As soon as the woman was out of the earshot, Dean sweared:
- Shit, Sam, it's like you are looking into a black hole, - Sam couldn't agree more with his brother.
They started looking over the hall, but there wasn't much to look at. There wasn't any sulfur, but the EMF was crazy.
- Hey, Dean, get this, - Sam called for his brother, standing in front of one of the room's doors.
- What's that?
- Look at the EMF. The results are really high in this hall, but near this door it's like went mad, - true to Sam's words, the pointer was spinning madly on the screen.
- I think we need to talk to the occupants of the room, - Dean decided and knocked the door.
There was no answer. Then he knocked again. On the third time he rapped into the door and yelled, - Open the door! The insurance company!
The door up the hall opened and an ancient man rasped:
- Stop making the noise! There's no one in there! They'll return in evening! Come then. And stop bothering good people! - And he slammed the door.
The boys exchanged glances:
- I think we need to ask the administrator who's living in this room, - Sam offered.
A few hours later the brothers were eating in their motel, waiting 7 o'clock, when suddenly they heard a voice:
- Have you learned something? - Castiel calmly sat at the table, while the boys were coughing from a sudden fright.
- Where have you been? - Dean said as soon as he regained the ability to breath again.
- Great Britain, Surrey, Little Winking, the house of the Dursley family.
- Dursley family? Like, Vernon, Petunia, Dudly, and their nephew Harry? - Sam frowned. - The tourists from Britain, Dursleys, are living in the hotel, were was the splash of that energy you told us about.
- This is the same family, - the angel nodded, folding his arms on the table. - Their neighbor missis Figg kindly told me that they are in a holiday in USA.
The Winchesters exchanged the looks, and then grabbed Castiel's arms at the same time:
- Listed here, you feathery birdbrain, you know what the hell is going on, and you'll tell me everything right the hell now! - Dean said angrily. - What's this abnormal energy? What do you know? Why did we have to drive here through the half of the country? Cas, I don't care if you're angel or not, but I want answers!
A moment the angel struggled to free his arms, and then he said:
- Let me go.
- So you could disappear again? - The younger Winchester laughed. Cas stared unblinkingly at him:
- I won't disappear again. I'll tell everything, just let me go.
Sam reluctantly let go of the angel's arm.
- I can't believe! The whole world of good witches! - Sam ran a hand through his hair and stared begging at Castiel. - Please, tell me you are joking!
- Why would I say that if I'm telling the truth? - The angel asked, but Sam ignored him.
- But the whole world of good witches!..
- Calm down, Sammy. This explains some stuff we've seen when we were younger. I'm almost 100% sure that dad knew about their society... - Dean absantly placated his brother., while he was pacing the room. - But what bugs me: how do they manage to hide so well? I mean, how many there's of them? A million at the very least? Why nobody had seen them?
- They are good at protecting their people. They have... Governments, laws... Prisons... They are rarely seen outside their community... Though the first witches you deal with had appeared because of them. Just as non-magical people give birth to the wizards, the squibs are sometimes born among the wizards. They are treated with despise. In past times squibs often made deals with demons to become magical. But the magic flows in the very blood, and if there's no, any crossroad demon can write it into the DNA. But that's how the witches the hunters deal with appeared. Inquisition, Salem burnings... No real wizard was burnt in the bonfire, or drowned... Wizards could always use magic and save themselves... But a lot of demons were burnt back then, and this is the only thing that can justify the cruelty of the Inquisition.
- This is entertaining and all, but why are we here? Why Virginia?
Castiel was silent for a moment, then he continued:
- Even their community has bastards. Some time ago Great Britain was in a Wizarding War. The man, Voldemort, had had the Great Britain in an iron grip for eleven years. Some wizards are still afraid to say his name aloud. Voldemort... Had committed a lot of terrible crimes, just like his followers... But on the 31st of November 5 years ago he was destroyed. He attacked a family... He wanted to kill the child, but couldn't.
- So he wasn't as scary as you portray him, - Dean smirked.
- It didn't depend on him, - the angel rubbed his forehead, as if he had a headache. Maybe it was the case. Now when he was slowly becoming a human, it was impossible to tell what he felt, and what he didn't.- The mother of the child... Gave her life to save him. Such a sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed even with usual people. That is why the killing curse didn't work on the boy, but destroyed Voldemort instead. The child only has a scar on the forehead. At least for now it's just a scar. The unbreakable connection has formed between them, and it will only become stronger with the years.
- Wait-wait-wait, - Sam interrupted him. He was sitting leaning to the front, as if trying to consum angel's every word. - You just said that this guy - Voldemort, right? - was destoyed? Then what connection can be?
- But he wasn't killed. He... mutilated his soul in a way he could no longer die, - Cas cringed at the mere thought of such a gross thing. - He will try to kill the child more then once. That is why the boy was placed into his mother's sister's home. The same blood flows in their veins, and as long as Harry would call that home his home, any evil creature is able to cross the doorstep of their home, wherever it is.
The silence fell. Angel, it seemed, didn't want to say anything more, but the brothers still couldn't understand Castiel's motives. So, Dean looked again at him:
- D'you wanna say that the Dursley family and their nephew Harry are the same family?
- This is exactly what I mean to say. I wanted... - Angel fell silent again. - Uriel used to be Harry's guardian angel... He wasn't fond of his position, but he did do his job. I... feel guilt.
Sam and Dean looked at each other, while Castiel continued:
- The blackened walls in the hotel is an accidental magic. Every wizard child has burst of it, but it never transforms into something so dark, - Cas rubbed the forehead again, and now the Winchesters were almost sure that he did have a headache. - I have reasons to believe that he's is being treated unwell in his aunt's home.
- You mean, you think they abuse him? Why would you think that? - The elder of the two Winchesters frowned.
- I've just visited the house the family lives in. The are... not poor people. They have everything they can wish for, if my knowledge on humanity is correct. Their son has the second room for his toys.
Sam glanced at his brother, thinking the same thing: when they were kids, thay had like ten toys together, and their father was not exactly a fan of children's stuff. Brothers just couldn't imagine what it's like - to have so many toys to need a second room.
- But nowhere in the house I could find the signs of another child living there. I even would have though that I had mistaken a house, if I didn't feel Harry's magical traces. That is why I searched the house... And the only place were I was sure Harry Potter lives in was a cupboard under the stairs.
- What? - Dean leaned on the wall and stuffed his hands into the jeans pockets. - What the hell do you mean? You are not going to say they stuffed their own nephew into a fucking cupboard, are you?
- I don't want to make any assumptions, - Cas quietly said. - I want.. to be mistaken. But I must check. I am sorry I'm drugging you into this, but my human skills are practically non-existing, and I need your help.
Dean was looking angry and upset. Whatever childhood he and Sam had had, their father would have never done anything like that. Dean knew next to nothing about the kid, but suddenly he desperately wished Castiel to be wrong.
Sam looked at Dean, then at Cas, stole a glance around the black hall, which even with electrical light looked ghostly, and knocked the door.
For a moment there was only the sound of TV, then there were fast steps, and finally the door was opened. A woman was standing in the doorstep. She was young, maybe of Dean's age, but Sam could swear that his brother would have never liked her. She was tall enough, had thin figure and face, and unnaturally long neck. Also there was something unpleasant and greedy in her eyes.
- Can I help you? - She inquired politely, even though Sam could feel her scrutinizing and criticizing look.
- Yes. I'm mr. Tyler and these are my colleagues Simm and Noble. We are presenting the insurance company, and we are working upon the recent event. Can we come in?
Petunia, and this was her without a doubt, closely looked at Dean, who was smiling his best smile, then at Cas, who was looking at her emotionlessly. It seemed that they passed her 'inspection', and the woman took a step back, letting them in.
The insides of the room were just as black as the hall, albeit less scary. An open window allowed sunlight in and cleared the darkness, which, it seemed, wanted to consume everybody and everything. Sam looked around. On the couch in front of TV was sitting a man of huge sizes, probably Vernon, and a boy of six years, who was a small copy of his father. There were three doors from the living room - to the bathroom, bedroom, and closet. There were no signs of another boy.
Meanwhile, Mr Durlsey joined his wife, who was fast to introduce him:
- This is my husband Vernon, and that, - she nodded at the kid, who even didn't bother to look at the newcomers, - is our son Dudley. Vernon, darling, those people are from the insurgence company.
- What, finally decided that this is a crime, yeah? That is brilliant! Me and Petunia didn't pay such crazy money to have our holiday spoiled so rudely, you know! - Vernon proclaimed. Sam for a moment questioned himself if all the Britains were so horrible like Bela Talbot and this man, while Dursley continued. - To my mind, criminals like that must be hanged!
From the corner of the eye, Sam saw Castiel to sharply look away from the man, his lips were pursed into a thin line. Cas was angry. And while the words and the outright lie angered the younger man as well, he was thankful Castiel didn't break their plan. Plan was simple: brothers do the talking, and the angel observing, not to blow up their cover. Sam swallowed a ball that suddenly appeared in his throat, and asked the first question:
- The night when this had happened, have you noticed anything?
- We had diner, watched TV for some time, and went to sleep. And no, we didn't notice anything.
- Maybe there was something small, that you think is irrelevant? - Dean interjected. - Maybe the electricity was glitching, maybe there was black smoke and sulfur smell? Something like that?
The couple looked at each other, and their faces darkened. Sam understood that Dursleys finally got it that they were no insurgence agents. As a confirmation, Vernon looked at Dean and barked:
- You think it could be done with magic, yeah? Listen carefully, insurer, there's no such thing as magic!
Dean didn't even bat an eye to the rude attitude of the man, but before he could do anything, Castiel was already standing in front of Vernon, looking at his eyes. It didn't matter that he was was smaller then him, and at least three times thinner, he was still looking much more intimidating then the Dursley. He stared with his unblinking gaze at him, which has rendered Vernon silent, and quietly, yet threateningly, said:
- Don't lie to me, Vernon Dursley, as lie is one of the deathly sins. You and your wife are very well aware that magic exists, but you still deny it. You despise it so much, thinking it is something terrible, that you don't see you've become terrible yourself in your hatred.
At this moment Vernon caught his breath again and shouted at the angel:
- Get out! Get out from here, and don't you dare to return to my family! Freaks! We swore that the boy will never become like you, that we'll end this insanity!
Castiel had had enough from him, and he touched the man's forehead with two fingers. He watched impassively as the man fell to the floor. Petunia started shrieking and ran to her son, who had finally looked away from the TV screen, and seeing his dad lying on the floor, burst into tears. She caught him in her arms and screamed:
- Don't touch him! Don't touch, for Heaven's sake, go away!
- "Heaven" is very different from what you think, - Dean coldly stated. - And just to cleare something up. We are not witches, whatever you think! Just the guardian angel of your nephew had pushed the holy bucket, and his brother decided that he has to check upon his charge. Ya know, looking at you to, I think that he, - he nodded towards Cas, - is right.
It looked as if Petunia didn't hear anything from what Dean had said:
- What's with Vernon? What have you done to my husband?
- Don't worry, he's just sleeping, - Sam tried to sooth her. He didn't want her to scream anymore, getting even more attention. - But we do need to see Harry.
- Angels don't exist, - the woman said crossly. Her son wasn't screaming anymore, but was still crying.
Castiel looked at her frostily:
- A mere moment ago you said magic doesn't exist. And now I wish to see Harry Potter.
- He's in the bathroom. The ungrateful brat is in the bathroom.
In a moment both mother and son joined the head of the family on the floor.
- Come on, - Dean whispered and all three of them approached the door, leading to the bath.
- Harry? - Dean called. There was no sound from the inside. Dean tried the handle. - Locked.
Castiel made a little wave of his hand, and they all heard the click of the door. The elder Winchester looked at the angel and pushed the door.
There weren't any windows in the bathroom, so it seemed as if they entered a prison. Sam reached out with his hand into the living room, and turned the lights on.
In front of the bathtub, on the bathmat, a small boy was sitting. He looked anything like the family in the next room. He was thin, had too big round glasses and was wearing far too big closes. Light from the lamp, even if it was not very bright, blinded him, and now he was screwing his eyes, trying to see newcomers:
- Who are you? - He asked. His voice was laced with curiosity, and only a bit of weariness. Sam glanced at Dean and Castiel, who were frozen for some reason. Sam decided that they won't be much help now, so the younger Winchester said:
- I am Sam, this is my brother Dean, and our friend Castiel. You're Harry, right?
The kid was used to the light by now, and was looking them over with curiosity. The glasses enlarged his eyes and Sam noticed that they were even greener then his brother's.
- Yes. Why are you here?
- We... - Sam started, but fell silent. Came to visit you? Even in his mind it sounded lame.
- Harry, why are you locked in here? - Dean asked nearby. Harry frowned:
- Because Dudley didn't want me to watch TV with him.
- I see... And how often Dudley wants it? - Dean again addressed him. He looked lost. Sam also couldn't understand what was going inside Durleys' heads, locking a kid up.
- All the time, - Harry honestly revealed, not looking away from Dean. - It's very lonely here. You won't lock me here again, will you?
- No! - The men exclaimed at the same moment. Harry smiled happily:
- Good! Because it's really very lonely here, - he shyly said again.
Castiel approached the boy and kneeled in front of him. But even now the angel was much taller then Harry, who was still sitting on the floor.
- Harry, I need to ask you something. Do your relatives care well about you?
Child's face frowned, when he looked at the angel, who was looking over every inch of his face. Harry nervously adjusted his glasses, and finally reluctantly said:
- They care about Dudlry much better. He always gets what he wants, - they could hear unshielded child's grudge. And then Harry added in a whisper, looking straight into angel's eyes. - And when weird things happen, uncle Vernon and aunt Petunia always say it's my fault, but it's not me. Like when the last week the walls suddenly turned black, they punished me. But I don't know what happened. Honestly. Uncle Vernon said that when we return home, he'll punish me like never before.
Sam looked down. There boy's voice so honest and lost, that Sam practically ached for him. The kid had no idea that it was really he, who had done that. On the other hand, maybe it was better that he didn't know that. For some strange reason Sam didn't want to upset this little boy, who was so trustingly looking in Castiel's eyes. Strange. It was usually Dean who was ready to do everything for a kid. Suddenly the younger Winchester remembered that they don't know what to do now. They didn't plan their course of actions that far, because every each of them secretly hopped that Cas would be wrong.
- How do you know me? Because I've never met you before, - Harry asked.
- We just know, - Dean smiled him. - Cas told us a lot about you.
- What is there to tell about me? - Harry frowned again. - Uncle Vernon says that I'm not worth even a good word.
Sam snorted in a pissed way. Even unconscious those Dursleys were angering him more and more with every second.
- Cas, what are you going to do? - Dean asked lowly. - We can't leave him with those people!
- Are you going to take me away? - Harry's eyes brightened immediately. - Take me away, please! Aunt and uncle won't mind, and Dudley will be on the seven's sky from happiness! Please!
Sam couldn't see the angel's back, but his shoulders went very stiff before he started talking again:
- You no longer will be under the care of those people, Harry. We are going to take you away. You won't return to them.
- Really?! - Harry shouted and, not waiting for an answer, throw himself into Castiel's arms. The kid hugged the angel's neck with both hands, beaming and thanking him non-stop. A moment the angel was just letting child hug him, and then, [...] that, according to Dean, he didn't have, he hugged Harry just as tightly, and stood up, Harry still in his arms.
- Come on, - he said, and headed to the door.
Dean got out his phone and quickly snapped Cas and Harry, who was still glued to the angel's side. Even asleep. Those few hours that had passed since little Potter's "rescue", the boy didn't let go of the angel for longer then a minute. Well, as soon as they left the hotel room, he started apologizing for hugging him so suddenly. Confused Cas asked him why he was apologizing, as there was any wrong in his actions. Then Harry asked Cas if he would mind to hold his hand. Cas didn't mind, and all the way down from the third floor and to the Impala the kid was gripping the angel's hand. Actually, the whole evening he spent near Cas. Dean suspected that Cas earned such trust, being the one who told him they'd take him away. Actually, it was easy to see that the kid wasn't used to the other people's company. It was noticeable in such small things as the fact he was way too polite, was apologizing often, was looking at the floor instead of the person he was talking to. Dean was guessing it was because of his uncle. Dean maybe knew the guy for less then five minutes, but he still had opinion about him. And not a good one. To add how Petunia was talking about the kid, and the fact that the boy was locked in the bathroom - and for a few days in row! - and the elder Winchester didn't know whether to go and shoot those people, or make sure he'll never meet them again.
So, after being with those new people for a few hours, Harry fell asleep from exhaustion, leaning on Cas's lap, hidding his face in the folds of the beige tranchcoat, and Cas put his hand on the child's back, as if protecting him. Cas had never understood the value of human contact or emotions, or hundred another little things that made one a human, so such tenderness outright surprised the Winchesters. And, of course, Dean just couldn't not savour such a sight.
- I'll save it for next generations. 'Cause if I tell them - nobody's going to believe!
- But we still have a problem, - Sam lowered his voice not to wake the kid. - What do we do with him?
In the end, while the kid was sleeping, Cas carved into his ribs the same enochian protection symbols that the boys already had, so any other angels wouldn't be able to find him, just in case.
All of them perfectly well understood that their way of life/Apocalypse on their asses is not suitable for a child to grow up in. Dean and Sam were devising ideas, when suddenly Castiel pressed hands to his head and moaned in pain.
- Cas, you all right? - Brother said at the same time. Castiel only moaned lower and leaned a bit. Harry didn't even move.
- Angels are very loudly... - Then Cas fell silent. For a moment he was sitting with his head in hands and barely audibly moaning, and then his face became calm, even serene, his body relaxed, and he put his hand on sleeping Harry's back again. Then he looked up at the brothers and said. - I heard revelations.
- So?
- They know already that Harry Potter had been taken from under his aunt's roof. All the blood wards were broken. But this is not the worst. All of the former Voldemot's followers know this as well. They are going to look for Harry to avenge.
- What should we do? - Sam breathed. Damn, their life was becoming harder and harder with every passing second.
A year had passed since Harry Potter joined their Team Free Will. Just as Castiel eavesdropped on angel-radio, there was no safer place on Earth for kid, then with the Winchesters and Castiel, at least until he'll have to attend magic school. Because only magic school could give the needed protection on the high enough level from all the dark things that wanted to get Harry. On the other hand, if they asked protection from any school now, it would have cuffed their hands, as Harry's status as the Boy Who Lived would be revealed in the the magic world immediately and attract lot's of attention. And attention was the last thing they needed, as they were in the middle of, hello, Apocalypse.
So Harry was traveling the country with them. It looked like the kid easily embraced their way of life, practically without a complain. At first it seemed as a good thing, as Sam and Dean geunianly thought that Harry was a tough kid, but very soon they both understood that Harry's "alright" usually was the same "alright" as their own. Which meant, his "alright" sucked. He could not mention that he's exhausted, scared, or even hungry. It looked like the Dursleys just didn't accept the other answer then "alright", so the kid answered them the same way, not even presuming that not all grown-ups are like his blood relatives.
Dean had to recall what it's like - to be the big brother in a way not "save his ass and sell your soul", but in a way that ment simple care. With Harry Dean remembered times when a six feet giant Sam was small Sammy, who asked too many questions and needed somebody's love. But Sam learned fast to read the kid as an open book. Dean was glad is brother was always so good with people, because at times it was impossible to understand what was going in that little head of Harry. Sam could easily make Harry talk, and find out what was wrong.
With Cas Harry had a special connection. Dean suspected that for Harry the escape from Dursleys was like for Dean - from Hell. Dean always tried not to think that way because how could he compare the Dursleys, no matter how awful they were, to Hell? But for Harry it was the case, because Castiel became his best friend. Dean, Sam, and even Bobby sometimes, not ones and twice saw Castiel telling Harry unbelievable stories, stories he witnessed himself, and the kid was listening, not missing a single word. In addition, Castiel was resembling an average human now, not an alien weirdo. Still, his straightforwardness was impossible to change.
They couldn't keep in a secret what they were doing away from Harry. Even though they didn't tell him they were having an Apocalypse the kid knew that they were fighting evil things, such as monsters, ghosts and demons.
Somewhere during the first weeks of Harry's being with them, Cas mentioned that Harry was a wizard, and as they were working a case of demon-deal baby-killing witches, Dean was forced to explain Harry for a long time the difference between the born wizards, and witches they were dealing with. Only he had to calm the boy down before the explanation,because he had presumed the worst (Dean was sure that was because of the Dursleys) and was scared that he's just the same, and would be either sent back to England, or killed.
At first Harry kept silent, and asked nothing even if they all could see that he was dying to ask a question. After a few tries to talk with the kid, Harry confessed that aunt and uncle forbade him to complain, or ask questions. The first thing Dean told Harry upon the matter was that he doesn't care about what rules the Durleys had made him obey, they were a bunch of idiots and that now their rules don't work with them, and he's allowed to ask anything, and complain whenever he feels uncomfortable. Of course, Harry didn't get the meaning of Dean's words immediately, but bit by bit, he soon started resembling a normal kid. As normal as it was possible to be under the care of two hunters.
As Castiel was almost wholly human now and couldn't even fly anymore, he was traveling with them as well, sitting with Harry on the backsit of Impala. They never took Harry hunting, because nor Dean, nor Sam wanted him to grow up the same way they grew up. So usually to hunt went two of them, and the third one stayed with the kid. Who would be a "baby-sitter" was decided taking into account how dangerous the case was. if there was something really dangerous, it was usually Cas who stayed with Harry.
The current hunt was going to be relatively easy, so it was Dean's turn. It was a calm evening, and Harry and Dean were watching TV in their motel room, when Harry shyly started a conversation:
- Dean, where did you get this scar from? - He traced with his small finger a long thin scar which started below the elbow and was all the way up to underneath of Dean's T-shirt.
Dean is lying on the backsit of Impala, his innards are aching from when Yellow Eyed mercilessly played with them, but he is still trying to listen to Sam's and dad's quarrel in the front, but the darkness slowly fills his consciousness. Suddenly a roar of a truck, light of frontlights and a horrible power hits the car. Cruel pain across the whole body and a blessed oblivion.
- I got it in a car crash, - Dean answered, unconsciously hugging the boy with one arm.
- Just like I got mine, - Harry sadly said. Winchester blinked at him. As far as he new the kid had never been in a car crash.
- Really? Tell me about that?
- Aunt Petunia says that when I was really small, my mummy, daddy and me got into a car crash. My parents died, but I survived, and got this scar, - he uncovered his black fringe, revealing the lightning bolt scar. Dean was looking in bis big naive eyes and was thinking that now he hated Petunia Dursley even more. At the very least because it fell upon his shoulders to tell the kid the truth about how his parents had died. Dean heavily sighed and adjusted his position, so he could face Harry.
- Your scar is not from a car crash, - he calmly stated. Harry looked at him confused and started:
- But aunt Petunia said... - He hell silent. Dean for a moment closed his eyes to calm down. Even a year later they were still dealing with the traces of moral abuse towards Harry. Right now the kid was looking on the floor, unnaturally stiff and very nervous, because he was sure he gave a wrong answer. Dean calmly breathed out and said:
- Harry, there was no car crash. You aunt lied to you once again.
The boy looked up and Dean with a panic understood, that the kid was starting to think that maybe his parents were still alive. Dean once again felt himself as a torturer in Hell, because he had to kill this hope fast, to hurt the kid he came to see as his own.
- Harry, you parents really died, but not in a car crash. I'll tell you the truth, okay? - He carefully put his hand on the child's shoulder and when Harry nodded in affirmation, the elder Winchester started talking. He told him about the good people, and the evil people, and how bad things sometimes happen with good people, and it's bad people's fault. Dean said that Voldemort was very-very bad, worse could be only Lucifer, but wait, Zachariah was aiming for "Son Of A Bitch Of The Year" award as well. And a long time ago Voldemort decided to kill Harry's family. He was very-very bad, so he came in the evening, when nobody was waiting for him. Unfortunately he killed both mum and dad, but by some miracle Harry survived. And it really was a miracle, as his mum gave all of her love to Harry, and Voldemort's curse rebound from Harry's forehead. Voldemort had died, and Harry was left with the scar. And Dean was very-very sorry, but that was the truth.
Harry bowed down his head and hugged himself tightly. Dean could see tears falling down from his emerald eyes, and how Harry quickly brushed them away. Dean Winchester had been a hunter his whole life, spent 40 years in Hell, 10 of which he spent torturing innocent souls, but he still couldn't see a crying child and pass by. He hugged Harry, and started patting his head, remembering all too well the evening when his father had told the truth about mummy for the first time, and why wasn't she returning home. He remembered how awful that was, how lonely he had been. Dean tightened his arms around Harry, because he didn't want him to be lonely too.
The doors opened and Cas with Sam entered the room. Both dirty and exhausted. Castiel's trenchcoat resembled a dirty rug, rather a coat. But when the angel appeared in the doorway, Harry broke free from Dean's arms, fled towards Cas and hugged his middle with all the force he could muster. Castiel looked at him in surprise, but then kneeled in front of him and tightly embraced the boy, waiting when the tears would dry and he would calm down. Angel was whispering soothing nonsense into his black hair, while Dean lowly informed Sam that he had told Harry how his parents really died. And no, Sam, he couldn't have found a worst moment, because his crazy relatives managed to screw Harry even with this matter, telling him a fake story. And nobody would dare to lie about parents. Nobody. Especially where Dean Winchester was concerned.

CHAPMANVILLE, W.Va. — Ronnie Ooten has been a stalwart when it comes to high school softball in the state of West Virginia.
Ooten has coached the Chapmanville Lady Tigers' softball team for 36 years and has led the team to six state championships with the latest being this past spring as CRHS went 33-6 and won the Class AA state title in Vienna.
Ooten, who began coaching the Lady Tigers in 1981 at the program's inception, was named recently as the West Virginia State Softball Coach of the Year. He's also in the running for regional and national coach of the year honors.
Over 36 years, Ooten has an all-time coaching record of 680-165 — an astounding 80.4 winning percentage — and only one losing season, a 15-17 mark in 2013.
"It's a big honor but the kids deserve this much more than Ronnie Ooten," Ooten said. "I appreciate what the kids did last year and in past years. In 36 years that's a lot of wins."
Last year's state championship was the sixth for Ooten's Lady Tigers and first for CRHS since winning back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010.
Chapmanville went 4-1 in this year's state tourney, downing Oak Glen 5-1 in the opening game. The Lady Tigers then lost 1-0 to James Monroe, putting Chapmanville down into the loser's bracket in the double-elimination tourney.
CRHS then rallied on the final day of the state tourney by winning three games — dusting off Petersburg (4-0) and coming back to defeat James Monroe twice by 12-4 and 10-0 scores to win the state championship.
The Lady Tigers were led by its trio of First Team All-State players — pitcher Kenzie McCann, senior shortstop Shian Meeks and senior catcher Savannah Wiley.
McCann hit .453 with 45 steals and 24 runs-batted-in, and went 29-6 on the bump with a 1.08 earned run average and 248 strikeouts.
Meeks blasted 12 round-trippers, had 17 doubles, four three-baggers and knocked in 60 in hitting .436 and also swiping 16 bases.
Wiley also flexed her power for the Lady Tigers and finished with a .391 average, 16 doubles, seven home runs, 44 runs-batted-in and posted a .648 on-base percentage.
Chapmanville would seem to have the firepower to be able to contend for another state title in 2017 but Ooten said replacing Wiley and Meeks will be tough. Both will be sorely missed but the bulk of the Lady Tigers' talented young team will be back — a team which hit a school record 29 home runs and had four batters hitting better than .400.
"When you have that kind of offense behind you that really helps your pitching," Ooten said. "But we're losing two studs in Shian Meeks and Savannah Wiley. It's hard to replace kids that hit that well and it's hard to lose your catcher and your shortstop. Those are pretty key positions. We'll get back in line but it's going to take some work."
The Lady Tigers will have to find a new second baseman as well.
Alli Harless, who was the winning pitcher in the second state championship game last year and had a 4-0 record and .300 batting average, has moved to North Carolina with her family. Her dad is D.A. Harless, who was Ooten's top assistant coach the last two years.
Harless fired four scoreless innings and allowed just one hit while striking out three in the finals vs. James Monroe.
Ace pitcher McCann, who had fired 13 innings earlier in the day and only had one more inning left by rule, then came in to put down the Mavericks in order to close out the state championship.
Ooten said losing Harless was a big blow to his program.
"We lost her. They moved to North Carolina," Ooten said. "DA couldn't find any work around here and they moved. That's going to hurt us too. We're going to have to find a second baseman. She had pitched very very little for us last year and then pitched so well for us in the state tournament. She came back last week to visit. They were run out of there with the hurricane (Matthew) coming in and they came to the homecoming game last week. It's a big loss losing her and it was one we weren't expecting to lose. DA also was fantastic and did a great job with the kids. It's hard to replace people like that."
Ooten has also led Chapmanville to state softball titles in 1999, 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2010.
Since Chapmanville's state tournament run began in '99 the Lady Tigers are 20-4 in state tournament games.
Following Chapmanville's 1-2 showing at the 2011 state tourney, the Lady Tigers lost in 2012 to 2013 to Wayne in the regional semifinals. CRHS was also shut out of the state tournament in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The 2015 Lady Tigers lost 11-0 to Sissonville in the regional title game. Then last year, the Lady Tigers got revenge on the Indians with a 6-3 road win in the regional finals.
Several other key Lady Tigers will be back as well this spring.
First baseman Hollie Carter led the team with a .472 batting average during the regular season. She had 23 RBI and a .641 slugging percentage.
Third baseman Grace Belcher, a first-year CRHS player, had a .346 average with eight home runs, 27 RBI and a .716 slugging percentage during the regular season.
Outfielder Kara Browning hit .363 with three homers and 24 RBI. DP Jada Freeman (.293, 1 HR, 16 RBI), outfielders Karah Little (.301, 23 RBI) and Mallory Kennedy also return as well as several others who saw playing time.
Ooten said next season's sectional format has not yet been chosen.
Chapmanville's new sectional opponents are county rivals Logan and Man as well as Scott, Mingo Central and Lincoln County, so the road to Vienna will be that much tougher.
"I'm not sure what they are going to do. We need to have some meetings," Ooten said of this year's sectionals. "I hope we can play it at one good site. We have two weeks to play it."
CRHS played in a two-team section against Scott the last few years. Mingo Central also played briefly in Chapmanville's softball sectional.
In the 2000s, Chapmanville played in a three-team sectional with Logan and Scott before Logan went back up to Triple-A status in 2009.
Logan and Lincoln County have both dropped to 2A this year.

Top Story: The harassment of Pagans by intolerant neighbors isn't anything new, but it's rare to hear on-the-record confirmation of that hostility from prominent citizens. The Sunday Mercury reports on the plight of Albion and Raven, owners of the The Whispering Witch in Alcester, a small market town in England. Opened 15 months ago, Albion and Raven claim to have gotten threatening letters, and even had a bundle of wood stacked in front of the shop's door one morning, seemingly to imply that they should be burned. After talking to the couple, The Sunday Mercury interviews a local Baptist Reverend, and a member of the church who's a former mayor of Alcester, and they seem to corroborate the … [Read more...]

It is far too easy to quote the (largely Christian) opponents to New York's decision adopting same-sex marriage and use it to make some larger point.

text: Language AP Human Geography Geographer's Perspective on Language • Language transmits culture. •Attitudes, understandings, and responses are partly determined by the words available. • Languages help define cultural diversity and distinct regions. World's Major Languages • 50% of world population speak one of 12 major languages listed • Mandarin Chinese is largest with 885 million • English is the primary language of 350 million and is the official language of about 50 countries 3 This graphic shows the uneven numbers of speakers of languages in the world. Nearly 80% of the world's population speaks only 83 (1.1%) of the world's languages. The 3,586 (51.2%) smallest languages are spoken by only 0.2% of the world's population. Official Languages of Countries Online Population, 1996 - 2005 Fig. 5-1.1: English is still the largest language on the internet, but there has been rapid growth in many others, especially Chinese. E-Commerce Languages 2000 & 2004 Fig 5-1.2: English and English-speaking countries still dominate ecommerce, but other languages are growing rapidly. Part 1 LANGUAGE TERMS Language Language – a set of sounds, combinations of sounds, and symbols that are used for communication. Language Terms • Standard language/Official Language-an official language sustained by the state in the form of state examination for teachers, civil servants and others. • Language family-a group of languages descended from a single, earlier tongue. • Language Branch- collection of languages under a larger language family. • Standard English/Received Pronunciation: Considered to be the standard form of English spoken by educated Britons in London, the English found in English tv and radio broadcasts. • Think of the world's language families as the branches of a tree. Isogloss -A geographic boundary within which a particular linguistic feature occurs Dialect-variants of a standard language along regional or ethnic lines- vocabulary-syntax- pronunciation- cadencepace of speech Accent: The way a language sounds or pronounced in a certain location. Vernacular: the local form of a language, words and phrases unique to a certain area. ISOGLOSS Idioms • An idiom is often used synonymously with dialect to refer to a language that is peculiar to a certain group of people or region. • Idiomatic expressions (separate from literal meaning) – Pulling my leg – Keep an eye out – Raining cats and dogs Toponymy • The study of place names • Consists of: – Natural features – Origins/values of inhabitants – Belief structures, religions – Current or past heroes 17 Changing Toponyms • When people change the toponym of a place, they have the power to "wipe out the past and call forth the new." Yi-Fu Tuan Changing Toponyms • Major reasons people change toponyms: – After decolonization – After a political revolution – To memorialize people or events – To commodify or brand a place Martin Luther King, Jr. Streets Slang • Translate this into formal English: • "I'm down to chill. Hit me up when you guys hang out. I'll be at the crib." Slang • And… "This party is tight but that guy over there is shady. I'm gonna bounce." • Definition: Untrustworthy people/interactions • Part of Speech: Adjective • Ex.: Nobody trusted the shady store owner. • Ex.: The unfair business deal was so shady! SHADY Close Reading Activity The New York Times • What exactly is slang? • Why is it difficult for "oppositional uses of language" to stay oppositional or exclusive? • Why is it difficult to compile a dictionary of slang? • Given that mainstream dictionaries now include slang terms, do we need slang dictionaries? Why or why not? • What is the history of the word "crib"? Word Cloud Homework • Pick a Slang Word! • Find out the following information: – – – – – Part(s) of speech Definition of the word all related words Connotations of the word Uses of the word in context and popular culture over time (this could include references on television, in songs or movies and in print) Websites to make your word cloud: http://tagul.com/ www.tagcrowd.com Part 2 LOOKING AT LANGUAGE GEOGRAPHICALLY Influences on the Distribution of Languages • The result of a combination of two geographic processes – Interaction – Isolation • Geographic processes develop distinct dialects and individual languages. • These processes are the interplay of – migration – geographic isolation. – explain how a single language can later become two or more or remain similar. How are Languages Formed? Language divergence – when a lack of spatial interaction among speakers of a language breaks the language into dialects and then new languages. Language convergence – when peoples with different languages have consistent spatial interaction and their languages collapse into one. Mutual Intelligibility- means two people can understand each other when speaking. Problems: • Cannot measure mutual intelligibility • Standard languages and governments impact what is a "language" and what is a "dialect" How do Languages Diffuse? • • • • • • human interaction print distribution Migration Trade Rise of nation-states Colonialism Spatial Interaction helps create: • Lingua franca – A language used among speakers of different languages for the purposes of trade and commerce. • Pidgin language – a language created when people combine parts of two or more languages into a simplified structure and vocabulary. • Creolized language – a pidgin language that has developed a more complex structure and vocabulary and has become the native language of a group of people. Monolingualism a country in which only one language is spoken Multilingualism a country in which more than one language is in use Official Language should a multilingual state adopt an official language? Examples Monolingual States • Japan • Venezuela • Denmark • Portugal • Poland Multilingual States • Belgium • India • Canada • Peru Languages of China • Chinese has the most speakers of any language. • It is one of the world's oldest languages spoken by the greatest contiguous population on Earth. • Southern China-the most variety and dialects-most are mutually unintelligible. • Some scholars argue that for this reason-it is not one language, but several. • Mandarin-the dominate language of the North spoken by 700 million including Beijing. • Wu is next with 100 million speakers in Shanghai area. • Yue-or Cantonese is spoken by 70 million in the SE. Chinese Ideograms Fig. 5-13: Chinese language ideograms mostly represent concepts rather than sounds. The two basic characters at the top can be built into more complex words. Language and Culture "No one was allowed to speak the language – the Dena'ina language. They [the American government] didn't allow it in the schools, and a lot of the women had married non-native men, and the men said, 'You're American now so you can't speak the language.' So, we became invisible in the community. Invisible to each other. And, then, because we couldn't speak the language – what happens when you can't speak your own language is you have to think with someone else's words, and that's a dreadful kind of isolation" Clare Swan, elder, Dena'ina Indians (Native Alaskan) • Language Isolation/Isolate: a language with nothing in common with other languages: example: Korean • Language Extinction: the point at which a language no longer has any active speakers. • Linguistic Refuge: areas providing minority linguistic groups refuge from aggressive neighbors The Environment Provides Refuge • Inhospitable environments offer protection and isolation • Provide outnumbered linguistic groups refuge from aggressive neighbors • Linguistic refuge areas – – – – Rugged mountain areas Excessively cold or dry climates Impenetrable forests and remote islands Extensive marshes and swamps • Unpleasant environments rarely attract conquerors • Mountains tend to isolate inhabitants of one valley from another Loan Words • Terms used by a particular language that have their origins in other tongues. • Spanglish for example. Language Conflict • Language can sometimes be at the heart of political conflict. What language should be used? Language pollution. • Attempts to make English the official language of the US for decades. 10-15% of Americans speak a language other than English. • Critics argue that doing so interferes with a citizens right to due process because the courts might no longer provide translators • Supporters argue it will encourage immigrants to learn English. Language Pollution • When one language is "polluted" or made worse by the influence of other languages • Loan words: terms used by a particular language that have their origins in other tongues. • Spanglish French and English in Canada • France and the Canadian province of Quebec • English has been creeping into the French language (le weekend) • 1975: French government began passing laws banning English from advertising and official government documents French-English Boundary in Canada Fig. 5-18: Although Canada is bilingual, French speakers are concentrated in the province of Québec, where 80% of the population speaks French.

My girlfriend and I will be starting our journey on the PCT on the 14th. This is our first leg of many sectioning out this trail and obviously we want to start at the beginning. Due to a small nervousness she has, we've decided to do the first 20 miles as a day hike back to Lake Morena. Now back to the title….transportation to the southern terminus…we would really like to get an early 6am start but don't necessarily want to leave one of our cars at the trail head. Is there a service that you guys know such as a taxi or private service of some sort that can assist us with a ride? Thank you in advance for your help.Apr 7, 2014 at 11:32 am #2090651

A good starting place for info is the ADZPCTKO ride board:
Another resource is the PCT-L:
There is a public bus running from Lake Morena to Campo in the morning at 6:42am. If you're going to be at Lake Morena a you might find someone camped there who would drive you to Campo. There also might be someone in the Lake Morena store/malt shop who could direct you to someone providing rides to the border. There are so many hikers heading to the border at this time of year you could just stick start walking from Lake Morena with your thumb out and get a ride to the border in minutes.
Good LuckApr 7, 2014 at 1:02 pm #2090672

The bus seems like a non-glamorous but nice reliable method. I'd probably go with that just to avoid unpredictability. You want bus 894 westbound, which leaves Lake Morena at 6:42am and only runs M-F. That gets you to Campo at 6:54am, but I think you still have a mile or so to the start.
Have fun out there. My wife and I start on the 18th. We're getting dropped off early in the AM by a San Diego TA.Apr 7, 2014 at 2:19 pm #2090691

Can't help you get from Morena to Campo but it looks like the PCT season has started. I was out fishing Lake Morena, in my float tube, this morning and got blown off the water around 10:30-11AM. Once I got back to shore, I had a short pleasant chat with two gals from Maine who were on the second day of their hike to Canada. Didn't think to ask them how they got down to the border for the start of their trek.Apr 7, 2014 at 3:06 pm #2090707

Yes, there's still water in Lake Morena, just not much. I was metering water depths to 20ft out towards the dam. The City of San Diego has stopped pulling water out but they didn't leave much in it.Apr 7, 2014 at 5:59 pm #2090765

We had picked a four bedroom girl dorm in which we dumped our rucksacks and headed straight out to town.

While wild-fowling on Frampton Marsh in the winter of 1954, I met McKenzie a well known Poacher. He showed me a curlew he had shot, he had it in a poachers pocket inside his coat, a jovial sort of fellow. He became a well known painter of wildfowl, he was a great friend of Peter Scott another painter of wild-fowl. Kenzie lived at Sutton Bridge.

Has there been an unluckier schmuck on TV than Larry David? Curb Your Enthusiasm revolved around David's not-so-fictional, walking kick-me-sign character landing himself in one embarrassing predicament after another. But, really, it's usually everyone else's fault: nannies from hell; blind men who took advantage of him; friends who asked for his kidney. And wouldn't you make a fuss is someone was taking too long sampling free ice cream? It's a wonder David never jumped out of a window like his other not-so-fictional, suicidal character in Woody Allen's 2009 Whatever Works . As part of the Paley Center's PaleyFest 2010, the show's cast and crew -- including David, Cheryl Hines (David's long-suffering shiksa wife), Jeff Garlin (David's philandering manager/best friend) and Susie Essman (Garlin's ball-busting wife) -- gather to reflect on seven seasons, which ended with the highly-anticipated Seinfeld reunion. Pre-ttay, pre-ttay good.

Author has written 1 story for X-Men: Evolution.
Okay, I live in New Zealand, 22, although that will all change in September. Doesn't that sound dramatic? If only it really was. If I had done anything with this account in the last two and a half years, it might deserve an actual biography here. As it is... not so much.
What you might/should be interested in, because it's freaking cool, is a new site that I help Beaubier and Fuzzbluelogic to run, called The X-Project. The concept is very simple... although slightly hard to explain, but basically if you imagine being able to RP scenes with whichever X-men/Marvel characters from whatever universe you like, whenever you like for as long as you like (and doing as many of them as you like, too), you'll be pretty much on the right track. Come over, and check us out - applying is easy, attendance totally voluntary, and zombies held in places of high esteem.
...okay, maybe not the last one. But seriously, it's an awesome site, which I think everyone should like.
Basic words on the stories (it will one day be plural again, I hope):
I do still intend to finish this, sometime. Sometimes I do, anyway - there's really only about 5 chapters left to go, and they were all plotted out. Unfortunately, every time I look back to familiarise myself with the story again, I end up just wanting to edit the start, and never get to the end.

The Persimmon Tree opens in Indonesia in 1942 on the cusp of Japanese invasion and the evacuation of Batavia (Jakarta) by the Dutch. Seventeen-year-old Nicholas Duncan is on holiday there, in pursuit of an exotic butterfly known as the Magpie Crow. It's an uncertain, dangerous time to be in Indonesia, and Nick's options of getting out are fast dwindling. Amidst the fear and chaos he falls in love with Anna, the beautiful daughter of a Dutch acquaintance, and she nicknames him 'Mr Butterfly'.

All About Bo
Bo was a wonderful Quarter Horse, full of fun and he was also a very good friend of mine. We unwittingly sold Bo to a couple who didn't care for him properly and let him founder badly. We bought him back and my wife spent a year trying to save Bo's life but despite her best efforts, Bo died at the age of 10. We had to have a vet come out to our ranch to put poor old Bo down as he could no longer stand.

Charlotte hotel must pay workers back wages after investigation
by: Kathryn Burcham Updated:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A Charlotte hotel must pay workers tens of thousands of dollars in back wages after an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Officials said management at America's Best Value Inn & Suites off
Interstate 85 has agreed to pay 34 workers more than $37,000 in back wages.
The news comes after investigators said employers there made unlawful deductions from paychecks as disciplinary actions.
Officials said management also failed to pay workers for three days of required training and was paying workings in cash and "off the books."
Investigators said the employers were also paying housekeepers $3 per hotel room, rather than paying the legally mandated federal minimum wage.
Up-to-date wage records were also missing at the hotel, according to investigators.
Management at the property, which is owned by Veer Enterprises, was unavailable for comment.
Hotel guests told Channel 9 they were shocked by the investigation, and felt sorry for the affected workers.
"I'm a working guy myself, I drive a truck for a
living. Business is business, but that's not good business," said one guest.

By Valdemir Mota de Menezes, THE SCRIBE
John W. Deering was killed in 1938 executed with shots, because it was condemned by the city of Salt Lake City for the crime of theft. He was persuaded to make one last charitable act for science. During its execution scientists were able to monitor your heart rate with ECG sensors. Helping science to unlock the secrets of the fear and the relationship with the heartbeat. Well, for me, is worse than criminal animal ... The 6 scariest science experiments in history The photo above scares, but the doctor Vladimir Demikhov was the author of this feat. In the year 1954 the world was outraged with this science experiment.
Demikhov created 20 dogs, two head that he himself had implanted. But due to rejection, the maximum that an animal was able to live a month. Through their experiences, "crazy", his followers managed to evolve techniques transplants. Demikhov failed to realize his dream of human heart and lung transplant, but his disciple succeeded. In 1967 the South African scientist Christiaan Barnard performed this task as envisioned. One thing is mistreating animals for pure sadism, another is to kill animals to feed ourselves and to improve scientific knowledge. I am in favor of animal use-Human and Beast in scientific experiments.

The first full album recorded by A Certain Ratio – and a mad mix of styles that's immediately compelling! The group are a key link here in so many traditions – British punk, 70s funk, dub, and late prog – all coming together under the godlike production talents of Martin Hannett to make the album one of the gleaming jewels in the crown of the young Factory Records label. There's never been a record of such scattered, skittish darkness – and even though short songs like "The Fox", "Forced Laugh", "Felch", "My Spirit", and "Loss" are arresting, the whole thing's magnificently capped off by the extended percussion jam "Winter Hill" – a tune that sounds like a batucada group trying to drum their way across a post-apocalyptic landscape!

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Q: There is so much controversy about the vaccine - in fact, several friends' doctors advised them not to get the vaccine for themselves or their young children. I am surprised at this but don't know why their doctors are advising that. It makes me even more nervous to hear that and even though my own doctor advised me to get the vaccine, I am confused. What are people afraid of?
A: As sad as it is for me to type this, not all doctors know what they are talking about. Much of our education has actually been aimed at doctors to make sure that they have the facts straight. There is almost no reason why somebody shouldn't get vaccinated ... it all comes down to whether you want to prevent yourself from getting the flu.
Q: I'm running the New York marathon on Nov. 1st. What, if any, are the possible down sides of getting the vaccine so close to race day? Should I just wait until I return to get my vaccination?
A: I love the marathon question, being crazy enough to do that kind of running myself. I definitely would get the vaccine. You don't want to be coughing up a lung on race day. You are going to be miserable enough as it is. Hope you get a PR.
Q: Have clinical studies showed any negative effects to getting the H1N1 vaccine?
A: There are studies and lots and lots of experience with components of this vaccine in millions of people that all say this vaccine is safe. There are no data saying it isn't safe.
Q: I'm concerned about the adjuvant squaline that is being added to the vaccine. This is the same substance that was added to the anthrax vaccine and was implicated in causing Gulf War Syndrome in American soldiers. I've heard people say this theory has been debunked, but I continue to hear evidence to the contrary.
A: I am glad you brought this up. If squalene is a problem, then we are all in trouble as we are all making it in our livers right now. It is a natural compound produced by your body. And the anthrax vaccine story is wrong. There was no squalene in that vaccine and it has never been scientifically linked to Gulf War syndrome. When people get sick they look for something to blame and vaccines seem to make a nice, easy target.
Q: Could you please talk about pregnant women? I understand the numbers in terms of risk of contracting the illness, but not in terms of getting seriously ill. Scary news stories have covered women dying/losing their babies who have underlying conditions/are smokers, etc. (mostly glossing over those facts), but what are the risks of getting really sick as a regular, healthy pregnant woman? And what are those risks vs the risks of getting the vaccine?
A: The risk of a pregnant woman contracting flu is the same as a non-pregnant woman. The risk of a pregnant woman getting really sick and potentially dying from flu is about 4-5 fold higher though. This has been shown consistently throughout this pandemic in multiple countries. The absolute risk of getting really sick though is still very small even if you are pregnant. I can't give you an exact numbers because that kind of data is not yet available.
Think of it this way: There is a small but documented risk of serious disease if you are pregnant, and serious disease is definitely a risk to your fetus. On the other hand, there is no evidence that any component of this vaccine is harmful to your fetus.
Q: My family has been sick but we were not tested. I realize testing everyone is time consuming and expensive but if I knew that I have already had, and survived, the swine flu I could then stop worrying for the rest of the winter (I worry about my kids as one has asthma and I have emphsyma) and my vaccine could go to some other person or country that may be short vaccines so in that sense why is testing not done on all people that show all the signs?Report Typo/Error

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
NYC small claims.....5K maximum. For which court....see page 6 of:
And the above site on how to file, cost, etc.
Regarding libel:
You could sue for defamation and get an injunction if you feel you qualify.....
Here is the law on defamation:
1. The slander (oral defamation) or libel (written defamation) must be false. NOTE THAT IF YOU BRING A LAWSUIT...TRUTH OF THE STATEMENTS IS A DEFENSE THAT CAN BE USED BY THE DEFENDANT. 2. The false statements must cause you PROVABLE MONETARY DAMAGES...not hurt feelings but actual monetary damages that a jury can award you money for. For instance, you must prove that as a result of statements made, you were fired from a job, or were prevented from getting a job, lost a business deal. etc.
Slander or libel suits do NOT, however, require proof of these 'special' damages if the statements are defamatory ON THEIR FACE, that is, they FALSELY allege that a person:
1. Committed a crime.
2. Has a loathesome disease.
3. Is guilty of sexual misconduct. or
4. Is incompetent in business.
You will have to hire an attorney to bring a defamation of character lawsuit as a practical matter.

You cannot use small claims court. In NYC you can go to Civil Court (25K max) otherwise Supreme Court.

Indented scarring or Pigmentation? (photo)
I had a pimple 3 months ago that was somewat big on my chin I ended up popping it when it became a head it almost fully flattened in a week but has left HIP so worried since my mouth area is scar free, Im confused if it is pigmentation that is giving it that illusion also when I slowly slide my finger over it I feel somewat a depression but when I look in the mirror at an angle I see no depression just a change of tone in the skin,the pic doesnt give it much justice on the size of it but an idea
Doctor Answers 2
Pigmentation -- Clear + Brilliant/Fraxel, VIVA/Skinfinity/Intensif, Peels, Skin Care, Aerolase Microsecond Yag
I suggest a formal consultation, scars and pigmentation can be improved with lasers and skin care. Best, Dr. Emer.
Web reference: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa6C2fuS-AgOnvBjr6_VSQg
Pimple leading to depression or pigmented scar
It's hard to see in the photos and I probably need to see more clear photos or photos with overhead lighting with a flashlight. But in general depressed scars can be treated through a multi-layered approach which we have called the Acne Scar Vitalizer. Or for the pigmentation can be treated with lasering.

Man shot in petrol station robbery
A 40-YEAR-OLD man was shot in the knee during a late night armed robbery at a border petrol station owned by Morgan Fuels.
The terrifying incident happened at the station, pictured, at Carrickarnon on Monday, around 10.45pm when three men, one armed with what appeared to be a sawn-off shotgun, burst into a prefab office at the entrance to the site.
The raiders, all of whom were masked, demanded money and keys to a car that was parked in the forecourt. A small amount of cash, in euro and sterling was taken.
Gardai said the man carrying the shotgun fired a single round into the knee of a 40-year-old man, believed to originally be from Eastern Europe, before the trio fled the scene in a 99 LH-registered silver Peugeot 406 that they stole from the station.
The car was found hours later abandoned at a motorway flyover bridge on the M1, southbound.
The shooting victim was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda where his injuries were described yesterday (Tuesday) as 'not life threatening'.
Gardai spent yesterday forensically examining the scenes at Carrickarnon and the stolen car and have started scouring CCTV footage from along the border and motorway in an effort to identify the robbers.
A Garda source said: ' This was a terrifying and violent robbery where a man was shot in the knee and during which a very small amount of cash was taken. We are appealing to anyone with information to contact Dundalk Garda station on 042 9335577 or Dromad station at 042 9371301 or the confidential line on 1800 666 111'.
Descriptions of the masked men were sketchy yesterday. Two of them were around 5ft 7'' in height and all three were aged between 19 and 23 years. One wore a black jacket, one had a blue jacket and the third wore a navy one.

The Star of Royalty is a glistening insignia worn by the ruler of the Mangaboos in the hair above the forehead. It is passed from one ruler to the next and is worn by both Princes and Princesses. (Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz)

Frankie Dettori is likely to learn on Tuesday whether he will be able to ride in Saturday's Derby when he attends a medical committee hearing at the offices of France Galop.
The ruling body of French racing has yet to pass him fit to resume his career, a full week after the end of his six-month ban for a positive test for cocaine.
Magician, the winner of last Saturday's Irish 2,000 Guineas, could yet attempt a sensational double, having been left in the Derby at the latest entry stage on Monday.
No horse has won both races since Grundy in 1975. Magician is one of six possibles from the Aidan O'Brien yard, the Irish trainer having taken out Nevis. The colt is 13-2 third-favourite behind Jim Bolger's Dawn Approach on even-money and another O'Brien runner in Battle Of Marengo, an 11-2 shot.
Chopin was supplemented at a cost of £75,000 and is poised to become the first German-trained runner in the Epsom Classic.
Just three British-based horses remain in the field and only the 16-1 shot Libertarian is priced below 100-1.
