Regarded by many as one of the most dominant defensive players in college football entering his senior season, Long more than lived up to those expectations, terrorizing opposing quarterbacks to the tune of 14 sacks, 23 pressures, nine pass break-ups and an interception in 2007. He also caused a pair of fumbles on sacks that Virginia recovered, leading to Cavaliers scores.
Named the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year and the recipient of the Ted Hendricks Award (nation's top defensive end), Long has certainly emerged from the shadows of his father, former Oakland Raiders defensive end and Hall of Famer, Howie Long. "You want to talk about a chip off the old block? This is a young man that plays absolutely lights-out football," North Carolina head coach Butch Davis said. "Chris Long has to be one of the premier defensive linemen in the country."
Virginia head coach Al Groh also had nothing but rave reviews on Long, stating, "It's hard to imagine there being a better player at any position than Chris Long. A guy would have to be one of the Transformers to be better than Chris. When you've got one of the best players the school's ever had and he's only interested in helping the team win, it puts an exclamation point on what you're trying to do." Groh was amazed that Chris did not receive more Heisman Trophy consideration: "If they're ever going to invite a defensive player to New York in December for the Heisman Trophy presentation, you'd have to think it was Chris Long."
Long was well-known to college recruiters, especially after a stellar career at St. Anne's-Belfield School, where competed on both lines for the state champion squad. The Super Prep and Prep Star All-American received a four-star prospect rating from Rivals.com, a service that rated him the sixth-best defensive end in the prep ranks. Tom Lemming ranked him eighth in the country at defensive end and College Football News placed him 11th at that position.
Long was a member of Rival.com's Atlantic East Amazing-80 team and he was an honorable mention All-South choice by the Orlando Sentinel. He was named 2003 Gatorade Player of the Year in Virginia and rated as the second-best player in Virginia by the Charlottesville Daily Progress "Gold List," third by the Roanoke Times and fourth by Super Prep and Rivals.com. He was also a three-time first-team All-State selection on offense and defense.
The Central Virginia Defensive Player of the Year by the Daily Progress as a senior, Long was a three-time first-team All-Central Virginia defensive lineman by the Charlottesville Daily Progress and earned first-team All-Central Virginia honors his senior season as an offensive lineman as well. He was selected Conference Defensive Player of the Year his final two seasons and was selected Student Sports Junior All-American in 2002.
Long registered 91 tackles (44 solos) as a senior to help lead his team to an undefeated season and the state championship, as he had 23 tackles for loss and 15 sacks that season. He also recorded 72 pancake blocks on offense. As a junior, he posted 85 tackles with 12 sacks and more than 20 tackles for loss. The three-time first-team All-Conference choice finished his career with 43 sacks and 66 tackles for loss. He also played basketball, lacrosse, and baseball during his high school career, winning the 2003 YMCA Slam Dunk Contest for high school students.
Long would hold the rare distinction of having his jersey retired at St. Anne's Belfield School and also at the University of Virginia, where he played in six games during his freshman year in 2004. He posted five tackles with an 8-yard sack before being sidelined due to a bout of mononucleosis.
As a sophomore, Long took over right defensive end duties, starting all 12 games. He totaled 46 tackles (22 solos) with 1.5 sacks and had 7.5 stops for losses, along with 26 pressures and seven pass deflections in 752 plays. In 2006, he earned All-State honors, helping the team rank 17th in the nation, allowing just 289.5 yards per game in total offense. He collected 57 tackles (32 solos) with 4.5 sacks, adding 9.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage to go with 21 pressures in 715 defensive snaps.
As a senior, Long received countless postseason honors, including consensus first-team All-American and unanimous All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team accolades. He ranked second on the team with 79 tackles (36 solos). The defensive captain tied for third in the nation with 14 sacks and was 14th nationally with 19 stops for losses. He had 23 pressures with an interception and nine pass deflections while blocking one kick and causing two fumbles.
In 43 games at Virginia, Long started 37 times. He recorded 187 tackles (93 solos) with 70 quarterback pressures, three forced fumbles, a 25-yard interception return and 17 pass deflections. He ranks tied for seventh in school history with 21 sacks for minus-171 yards and is sixth all-time in Virginia annals with 38 stops for losses totaling 211 yards. He also blocked one kick while participating in 2,432 defensive plays.
Positives: Has long arms and large hands, with good upper body muscle tone, tight waist and hips and shows good lower body thickness Uses his long reach well to keep blockers away from his body, also utilizing it, along with good timing and leaping ability to bat down a fair share of passes at the line of scrimmage What sets him apart from most young defensive ends is his keen knowledge of the game and his uncanny ability to read block pressure and quickly locate the ball Quick-twitch athlete who shows good quickness, agility and flexibility, showing good knee bend Builds to top acceleration nicely in long pursuit and shows good redirection skills in his pass rush off the edge Lacks an explosive burst, but has good leverage and reach to separate from blocks and close on the quarterback Shows solid football instincts and is able to learn and retain information easily, showing the quick instincts to locate the ball through trash Plays and practices hard and with a purpose, showing good effort and toughness throughout the play Leads by example, as well as with his voice, as the coaches encourage the younger players to emulate his great work ethic Can handle tough coaching and is harder on himself than the staff is when he fails to make a play or blows an assignment Has active hands and feet, showing outstanding quickness off the ball and natural movement ability to close Comes off the snap with good pad level, getting into the blocker quickly with a solid hand jolt to rock the opponent back on his heels (needs to do a better job of staying on the lead blocker to clog the rush lane, though) Has very crisp plant-and-drive agility to make quick change of direction moves working down the line One of his better assets is his lateral agility Has a good feel for blocks and knows what to do to avoid in pursuit Defends the run well, using his hands and extending at the point-of-attack, as he has the hand punch to quickly shed blockers and has developed into an efficient, physical, hip-roll tackler working in-line When he extends his arms (and keeps them active), he plays with good leverage and can hold ground at the point of attack vs. the isolated blocker (struggles some vs. double-teams) Has better leverage than strength to anchor, knowing how to use his lower body Has enough size and strength to hold up at the point-of-attack and the flexibility to sit in the crease and hold his ground or get off blocks When he keeps his hands inside the framework, he can keep separation from the blocker (exposes his chest when his hands get too wide) Moves very well laterally and displays good effort in pursuit, as he has the knee bend to slip by blockers in-line High energy type who had better success disengaging in 2007 than he did in the past, thanks to clearing his feet and chasing hard to run down plays in pursuit Shows adequate flexibility to fight off cut blocks (needs to protect feet better still, but has improved), as he takes good angles when pursuing downfield Physical tackler who can bend, roll his hips and drive through the ballcarrier Might not generate explosive hits, but he has the strength to push the pocket Makes a good effort to arm tackle His above average lateral quickness is utilized well in his back-side pursuit Does a good job when asked to wrap up and drag down the ballcarrier in space and he has the functional strength to generate inside pressure vs. offensive line-man's outside shoulder Shows good body lean coming off the snap and has developed a solid inside counter move to generate pressure Has the upfield speed, along with swim and rip moves to go with the inside counter and bull rush (asset needed for a potential move to defensive tackle) Uses flexibility and a good burst to collapse the pocket and displays the quick hands and feet, along with good hip-flex to turn the corner on edge rushes Can keep separation vs. the run when he uses his hands to control, and when he takes dead aim on the quarterback he shows good intent to get there With his leverage, he can beat the blocker in and out to close on the passer, as he demonstrates good hand placement and the ability to separate from blockers.
Negatives: Lacks suddenness off the snap to surprise a lethargic blocker Best when taking angles to the quarterback, as he does not have the foot speed to take the wide loop in pursuit Needs to be more active with his hands, especially when executing counter moves, as he struggles to shed when a blocker locks on to his jersey Susceptible to the low block and needs to do a better job of slipping off double teams (must execute his spin move more) Might be a better fit as a defensive tackle in a 4-3 alignment, so as not to expose his adequate closing burst Does not use his reach or counter moves with consistency and can be engulfed by the larger blockers Plays better on the move (can get stuck on the bigger blockers at the X's).
Compares To: AARON KAMPMAN-Green Bay Like Kampman, Long is not the fastest, nor is he the strongest defensive end you will find. He lacks the blazing speed you look for in an edge rusher and will struggle to shed blocks at times, but like the Packers standout, he has great field savvy, vision and determination. He knows when he needs to avoid blockers rather than try to overpower them, as he really doesn't have that blow-up strength (good, not great) to dominate, anyway. What he does is take good angles in pursuit and display excellent lateral range working down the line. In a scheme that will let him press the outside shoulder of an offensive tackle, he will have good success. With his pad level and in-line instincts, he could also earn quality minutes as a defensive tackle in a 4-3 alignment, but is more ideally suited to play defensive end in a 3-4 formation.

|2007 Game Analysis
Wyoming Opened the season with seven tackles (4 solos), including two sacks of QB Kasten Sween for minus 22 yards and had six QB pressures, the second-highest total of his career "Clearly, there's no better player in college football than Chris Long. He performs like a star but doesn't act like a star," said head coach Al Groh Head to Head Competition -- OT#71-Ryan Otterson (6:05-286).
Duke Shared the team lead with eight tackles (2 solos), twice sacking QB Thaddeus Lewis for losses of 10 yards, adding three pressures and a pass break-up After the game, head coach Al Groh stated, "When you've got one of the best players the school's ever had and he's only interested in helping the team win, it puts an exclamation point on what you're trying to do." Head to Head Competition -- OT#74-Cameron Goldberg (6:06-284).
North Carolina Intercepted a pass early in the fourth quarter to set up what ultimately became UVa's game-winning field goal Added four tackles and sacked QB T.J. Yates for a 6-yard loss while also deflecting one pass "You want to talk about a chip off the old block? This is a young man that plays absolutely lights-out football Chris Long has to be one of the premier defensive linemen in the country," said Butch Davis, North Carolina head coach. "They have some really physical guys that make it difficult to run the football. Chris Long is as good a pass rusher as probably is playing in college football today."
Head to Head Competition -- OT#72-Kyle Jolly (6:06-302).
Georgia Tech Led the team with nine tackles (3 solos), the fourth-highest total of his career Also sacked QB Taylor Bennett for a 9-yard loss, pressured the passer twice and broke up three passes "It normally takes more than one (blocker to stop Long). He's a great player. I saw his daddy for a lot of years. He's got a lot of the same traits. He has excellent technique, great strength, leverage, quickness," Chan Gailey, Georgia Tech head coach stated Head to Head Competition -- OT#64-Andrew Gardner (6:01-298).
Pittsburgh Panthers offensive tackles Jeff Otah and Mike McGlynn held Long to a season-low three assisted tackles "He's the best defensive lineman that I've seen on tape. He's a playmaker. He does it all. He plays the run well. He knocks balls down, and he plays all over the place. He'll be outside as an end, and then he'll move inside as a tackle. He's quick, and he's strong. And he plays so hard. He's got it all, and in my opinion he'll be a first-round (NFL Draft) pick," Dave Wannstedt, Pittsburgh head coach said, when asked to access Chris Long Head to Head Competition -- OT#76-Jeff Otah (6:06-343).
Middle Tennessee State Blocked a Middle Tennessee field goal in the second quarter that was important in UVa's two-point win Posted five tackles (4 solos) with a pair of stops behind the line of scrimmage, including a 9-yard sack of QB Dwight Dasher and also came up with five pressures "Chris Long is really, really good. You guys make sure you watch him play, number 91. He plays extremely hard. He's physical. He can run. He's exactly what you look for in a football player. He's fun to watch," said Rick Stockstill, Middle Tennessee head coach Head to Head Competition -- OT#54-Franklin Dunbar (6:05-323).
Connecticut Delivered four tackles, including a 7-yard sack of QB Tyler Lorenzen, and caused a fumble on that play, as Virginia handed Connecticut its first loss of the season
"Long has got ability, but the other thing is he's very relentless. He's just playing all the time. He's got a big motor, he's got good technique and he's got good strength," Randy Edsall, Connecticut head coach said Head to Head Competition -- OT#64-Wiliam Beatty (6:06-306).
Maryland Long had a tremendous effort in the win over Maryland, when he tied his career
high with ten tackles (4 solos) to earn ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors He was in on five tackles for loss (two solo, three assists), including two sacks of QB Chris Turner for minus 18 yards and broke up a pass One of his sacks led to a safety that proved to be the difference in UVa's 18-17 win "With Chris Long, you really have to do your homework to prepare for him. If you've got a weakest defensive lineman, you can pretty much count he's going to be on him. In that light, I feel they're fairly predictable, but it does make it difficult to find out where he is and where he's going to be. They do a good job," Ralph Friedgen, Maryland head coach stated Head to Head Competition -- OT#77-Scott Burley (6:05-324).
North Carolina State The right defensive end made five tackles with two pressures and sacked QB Daniel Evans for a 20-yard loss "That daggone Long guy, Howard's son. I wish he had twins and sent one our way. Boy is his good. He puts on a clinic every time he plays. Every snap is a clinic. He plays the game like it's suppose to be played," said former North Carolina State head coach Chuck Amato "Basically you know where he is on first and second down and they move him around on the third down package. You have to pay special attention to him, especially in a pass-rushing situation and in a long-yardage situation. I think people have tried to chip on him or double him; that's the best thing you can do," stated Tom O'Brien, present NC State head coach. "He has tremendous explosive power and plays with a great base. He's low in coming off the ball. Obviously, you can see a lot of the techniques he has, he's worked with his father. He looks like a miniature version of the way his dad [Howie] used to play. Basically, you know where he is on first and second down. They move him around in the third-down package and I guess we'll figure out who our worst pass protector is because that's where he'll line up." Head to Head Competition -- OT#70-Jake Vermiglio (6:05-317).
Wake Forest Long earned ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors, delivering ten tackles (3 solos), with a 3-yard sack of QB Riley Skinner, two stops for losses of 5 yards and a pressure "I don't think we'll play a better defensive player than Chris Long," said Jim Grobe, Wake Forest head coach Head to Head Competition -- OT#78-Louis Frazier (6:04-315).
Miami Long was limited to four hits (3 solos) and a stop behind the line of scrimmage "I really like Chris. He plays the game well, he's fast, he plays with tenacity and he tries to make plays all the time. In pass rush situations, he gets after it," Randy Shannon, Miami head coach said after the game Head to Head Competition -- OT#64-Jason Fox (6:06-291).
Virginia Tech Long had his jersey number (#91) retired prior to the game and then went out to deliver six tackles (5 solos), two pressures and a pass deflection, as he also sacked QB Sean Glennon for a 13-yard loss in the third quarter, causing a fumble that Virginia recovered to set up a 2-yard touchdown run by Cavaliers QB Jameel Sewell His other sack dropped Tyshod Taylor for a 5-yard loss on third-and-8 late in the third quarter, forcing Tech to punt "He won't be denied. You can block him for a few seconds, the ball can go to the other side of the field and he's running, going to the ball. I admire players like that, but at the same time, you've got to block them. It's a real big challenge,'' said Tech offensive tackle Duane Brown. "He has a motor like nobody I've seen before." Head to Head Competition -- OT#76-Duane Brown (6:05-308).
Texas Tech (Gator Bowl) Closed out his career with a pair of pass deflections, four tackles and one pressure Head to Head Competition -- OT#74-Rylan Reed (6:07-314).

Persistent inflammation affects the brain in ways that are connected with stubborn symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Brain
Stashed in: Science!, Awesome, Marijuana, Depression, Depression, Inflammation, Inflammation
Inflammation is linked to weakened reward circuits in depression:
About one third of people with depression have high levels of inflammation markers in their blood. New research indicates that persistent inflammation affects the brain in ways that are connected with stubborn symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasure.
The results were published online on Nov. 10 in Molecular Psychiatry.
The findings bolster the case that the high-inflammation form of depression is distinct, and are guiding researchers' plans to test treatments tailored for it.
Anhedonia is a core symptom of depression that is particularly difficult to treat, says lead author Jennifer Felger, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Emory University School of Medicine and Winship Cancer Institute.
"Some patients taking antidepressants continue to suffer from anhedonia," Felger says. "Our data suggest that by blocking inflammation or its effects on the brain, we may be able to reverse anhedonia and help depressed individuals who fail to respond to antidepressants."
800 Reddit comments discuss how to lower these markers:
The problem with Reddit is that you can easily scroll down a LONG WAY before you see the slightest thing to do with inflammation. Also they are such dweebs that they never even mentioned medical marijuana because they were too busy talking about their various neuro-related degrees.
Good point. Have there been any good studies about medicinal marijuana reducing inflammation?

The Younger Years
A series of stories centred around a group of friends... anyone with a funny idea for what they could get up to would be greatly appreciated :)
It had been a long time.
Callum was sick to death of hearing that stupid bell ring to tell him to move onwards and upwards, prefering to jot down little scribblings in his notebook instead.
Will was happy enough flirting his way around, well everyone, smiling at almost every girl that passed by, having the occasional drink as well.
Layla was eager to move on to a brand new life, bathing in the glitz and glamour of the life that was about to come.
Millie was working hard despite the time of day and year, doing everything she could to make her plans for the future take hold.
Brad was nowhere to be seen as usual.
Rhiannon just went along with the others, content in her surroundings as long as she had a smile on her face and a cute guy in her eyeline.
Kate was sitting in the corner, strumming away on her guitar, in her own little world, dreaming of her award-winning, chart-topping song that she knew was in her head.
It was the end of an era. And the start of a new one. Little did they know how interwoved their lives would be.
But that was a few years off. They still had some growing up to do first.
They all smiled as they raised a glass to their future.
That could take a while...

Tis the season for Basketball! With two boys loving the sport the schedule is getting filled with practices and games. What does that mean for me? A take a long project!
Something small and simple {could do it with my eyes closed….well almost}. It fits in a little bag and off I go!
For this month my take a long is a few hexagons. They are small, easy to sew, don't take a lot of brain power. I can whip a few together in no time all the while sitting and cheering those kids on from the side lines.
I am one of those moms that loves, loves to go to the kids games. It gets me away from the house, makes me talk to others and my mind is removed from the world of online. {because I love it here!} Plus, I think my kids like it when I am there too.
So far, they haven't complained about me hauling around my little projects and working on them in front of them….. maybe when they get older they will start rolling their eyes. Until then, I will stitch on!
This little project will be coming up soon….it's next in line to the little quilt series. You can find a few others here.
See the little pincushion– a sweet little gift from Heather. Thank you!
Want to start your own kit? Print your hexagons…..add some fabric, and supplies and off you go!
Do you already have one? Share what your project is!

Using Wild Pansy extract from the Caribbean; Green Coffee Bean extract; organic Jojoba: and Sunflower oil we provide natural anti-oxidants and natural preservatives to offer a complete, safe and natural sun block for Kids. The Kid friendly aroma makes this the ultimate Children's suncreen and it is water resistant, so it does not come off upon entry into the water. When applying, it is not necessary to vigorously rub the lotion onto the areas of need. Simply imagine your hand as a paint brush and gently wipe the sunscreen on the skin. This allows for non-streaking and even coverage of the sun protection. Pay close attention to the areas where the bone is closest to the skin, like the sholders, face, tops of feet, as these areas tend to be the most prone to sunburn. Plus, your kids will not be opposed to your application process due to your gentle approach. You should apply the sunscreen every hour to hour and a half for best results.
Apply every hour to hour and a half. As much as the need for a sun block is, the skin must have hydration abilities to maintain its normal temperature while exposed to abnormal heat conditions. The SolGuard spf 25 includes Organic Aloe Leaf; Cucumber extracts; organic Jojoba; and various tropical plant extracts from the Caribbean to inject and sustain moisture in the skin keeping it cool, so as not to overheat. Natural Anti-Oxidants and Natural preservatives are used such as, Green Coffee Bean: Wild Pansy extract: Sunflower Oil; and Natural Vitamin E from corn make this 100% natural sunscreen. No parabens are used as preservatives and the use of a food grade sorbate provide natural preservative abilities to allow for a 24 month shelf life.
SolGuard spf 25 is water-resistant and does not come off upon entry into water.

Proper Application of the Natural Sunscreens:
It is important to recognize that the use of a natural mineral for the purposes of screening UV rays is that the minerals reflect the rays, not allowing for penetration of the skin by the harmful rays. That being said, the application of a lotion containing natural minerals designed to be used to reflect the UV rays, is important. Be aware that it is not necessary to rub the lotion "in" to the skin. On the contrary, your intent is to "wipe" it onto the skin in a smooth manner. Pretend as if your hand were a paint brush and gently wipe the lotion on the areas to be protected. No more than 3 to 4 wipes is needed. You will find that the areas to be protected are covered evenly, allowing the sunscreen minerals to lie on the skin to protect and the moisturizing ingredients, designed to hydrate the skin will absorb. In this environment, you wish to treat your skin gently, as it is in a format that it is not used to on a normal basis, that being in the sun for lengthy periods. There may be an initial whitish hue on the skin upon the application, but it will dissipate quickly if you use the wiping method mentioned. There may be a line or two that you gently wipe after the initial 5 minutes from applying. Our suggestion is to wipe the hands clean with a towel, cloth, or napkin after the application process. Re-application should be done every hour to hour and a half.
SUNSCREEN LOTIONS Pure Ingredients: Organic Aloe Vera Leaf (Aloe Barbadensis Gel); Natural Titanium Dioxide; Natural, (Transparent) Zinc Oxide; Wild Pansy Extract (Viola Tricolor Extract); Green Coffee Bean extract (Coffee Arabica Bean Extract); Hibiscus (Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis Extract); Cucumber Extract (Cucumis Sativus Extract); Melon extracts; Sunflower Oil (Sunflower Seed Oil Glyceride); Tocopherol Acetate (Natural Vitamin E from corn); Cetyl Alcohol (derived from coconut) Natural Sorbate/Food Grade. The maximum sunscreen contains 6% Titanium Dioxide and 9% Zinc Oxide. As the SPF number goes down, so does the amount of the natural minerals, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, thus reducing the screen abilities.
Vegan, Gluten-Free, Never Tested On Animals, No Nano Technology, 100% Vegetarian

Still more snow!
Maybe a trivial thing, in so many other places.
But I don't care if my bare foot
gets frozen.
Every step
is worth the satisfaction of that footprint.
The snow is thick and wavy on the ground
and I would turn it upside down
and watch it snow again.
Piled up so high, I wonder
what would it feel like
to lie down in?
And I have lots of other clothes.

Mobile Money – Opportunity In India
Saturday, October 1, 2011
The history of money has been very interesting; it has evolved from a barter system to commodity money, paper money and recent to plastic money. This evolution has been driven by a couple of common factors, namely convenience and security. However the benefits of this development are being enjoyed only by a privileged few and this gap is even wider in the developing countries. This means there is a vast unaddressed market that needs access to the banking services. But providing these services at a low cost, so as to make it a viable business model has been a major reason why there has been a prolonged delay in addressing this market. However today with the mobile device becoming a 'must have' for all segments of society, the prospect of using mobile as the delivery channel of banking services is being actively explored. The mobile phone can be used as a 'pre-paid instrument', 'bank account linked instrument' or 'mobile finance instrument'.
Friday, July 1, 2011
According to World Health Organisation, telemedicine is defined as, "The delivery of healthcare services, where distance is a critical factor, by all healthcare professionals using information and communication technologies for the exchange of valid information for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and injuries, research and evaluation, and for continuing education of healthcare providers, all in the interests of advancing the health of individuals and their communities". Telemedicine is not a specialty but a tool which uses Information Communication Technology (ICT) and clinical medicine. It is a subcategory of a wider Tele-health care category which includes applications like fall detection, bed monitoring, panic alarm etc. Telemedicine has enormous potential to meet the challenges of present medical infrastructure mainly capacity and delivery of healthcare. This is especially relevant in rural and remote locations where the delivery of health services is a major concern.

The New Guy - Balisong's POVMature
Quite late at night, Nightshade and I returned from our latest mission. I hoped Ripper wouldn't be mad at me. There had been a man there who I had been digging up a background for for at least a year. He was a wanted rapist. You really don't wanna know how I killed him.
Entering the house, the first thing we heard was a shout from the new guy, Colt. I rolled my eyes. He had burst into the bathroom when I had been painting my nails. It was a little embarressing, and the way he looked at me would've been how most men would have looked at Piper.
Running up the stairs, I went to check on him. Piper and Colt were sat together, and seemed surprised that we were back. Nightshade stood behind me.
"Yay, he's called down." She said with false enthusiasum.
"I wasn't doing anything! I only asked him if he could help me stop seducing people." Piper said, standing up. I sighed.
"Just try going about your daily business with him around. If your powers get too much, I'll have to slap it out of him." Night smiled. Colt gulped, and I giggled. I crossed over to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry. Some other guys are bound to come soon. If they don't, well, you're stuck with us for a while." I smiled. On one of those spur of the moment things, I leaned down slightly, to hug the new guy tightly. I felt him stiffen, his back straightening.
"Seriously, we're nice. You just have to get used to us." Night laughed behind me.
"We don't bite...hard..." I giggled into his ear, before pulling away. I put my hands on my hips. "Now, how about we all have a couple of rounds of shots, to welcome our newest guest?" I smiled to the others. They agreed, and we all went downstairs.

I am a Florida Bar Board Certified Attorney, which is the highest recognition given by the Florida Bar for the competence and experience of attorneys. You want an attorney handling your case that actually goes to trial!! Don't trust your case to a lawyer who advertises on television and handles thousands of cases. Your case will be handled by me personally.I have been an attorney for 32 years. I believe that an attorney should be competent and also compassionate and understanding of the problems facing his or her clients. No one is happy to be going through a divorce, bankruptcy or to be injured in an accident. When you have to see an attorney for any of these life changing events, your attorney should treat you with respect and dignity and and the attorney's office should be a place of refuge where you can come knowing that your legal matter is being handled competently, timely, and with care and understanding of your needs.
During the first two years of my practice I represented insurance companies. I did not like representing insurance companies as I do not believe they treat people fairly. I now represent only injured people in personal injury cases. My experience as an insurance attorney has given me valuable experience and training that gives me an advantage over attorney's who have not worked "both sides of the fence." Now I am on YOUR side!!
I have also filed more than 1500 bankrkuptcy cases during my career. I do not believe that filing bankruptcy should be a traumatic or embarassing experience for the client. Financial crisis can happen for a lot of different reasons and no matter what caused your particular situation, you deserve the utmost respect and caring attention from the attorney you hire and his or her staff. At my office I make sure you receive kind, caring, personal attention. Please take the time to read our client reviews.
I also use my trial experience to handle family law matters of divorce, child custody, and child support. I understand that going through a divorce or child custody dispute is on of life's most stressful events. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at the University of Florida before going on to law school. I understand that practicing family law involves a certain amount of counseing that often goes beyond the law. It is that part of family law that I enjoy most. I will fight hard for my clients, but my goal is to resolve your case as efficeintly and quickly as I can, while protecting your interests.
Call me and I will talk to you personally.
Larry Marraffino

Chapter 5 – Sue Clearwater
"Again and again, the impossible decision is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made."
Harry had to avert his eyes to keep from caving in. His heart shattered into a million tiny pieces as he heard Teddy's quiet sniffling. Merlin knew he didn't want to hurt Teddy, but sometimes a little heartache was unavoidable. Without saying a word, he pulled his silently crying godson into his lap. Before long, Teddy's small body shook and tiny gasping sobs escaped his mouth. Harry wanted to tell Teddy to forget everything he'd just said, but he couldn't and wouldn't do that.
"I don't want to miss school or stay inside all week!" Teddy cried. "Please don't make me, Uncle Harry!"
Harry sighed and brushed away a few loose tears. "Teddy, you know I want nothing more than for you to be happy. However, your safety must come first. We don't know if phasing into your wolf form is emotion-based or if you'll have trouble tapping into that power again. Staying home from school this week will hopefully give us some answers. Unfortunately, we live in a Muggle area and any kind of slip-up can have severe consequences."
Teddy seemed to withdraw into himself. "I don't want to stay inside. It'll be just like before I went to school. I'll never get to go outside or play with friends or do anything!"
Harry remembered being Teddy's age and locked inside his cupboard again. Dudley had gleefully teased him through the air vent about how much fun he was going to have at the park with his best friend, Piers Polkiss. He remembered crying bitterly, tired of constantly being locked inside until the Dursleys saw fit to let him out. He remembered being so relieved to be allowed to go outside, even if it was only to do so many strenuous chores until he nearly collapsed. Anything to just feel the breeze across his face, or smell the grass after it rained, or to know that his world wouldn't always be made up of cramped spaces, spiders, and the ever-consuming darkness.
Harry shook his head to clear his thoughts. It was completely different situations. If Teddy didn't control this new ability and had an accident in front of Muggles, things could get really ugly really quickly. A shiver ran down his back at the thought of Muggles starting the next witch hunt.
"I'm sorry, Teddy," he said softly.
Teddy sniffled, his head bowed low and his shoulders sunk. Harry hugged his godson, hurt when Teddy made no move to reciprocate it. He was about to pull back when Teddy sighed and slowly wrapped his arms around Harry.
"When do we start training?"
Harry didn't like the dull tone Teddy used. "Tomorrow. We'll see if it's something that needs to be controlled right away. If it's dormant to a certain degree, you can go back to school earlier."
Teddy brightened. "Really?" he asked hesitantly.
Harry poked him on the forehead. "Have I ever lied to you?" he asked softly. "I don't want you hurt, Teddy. It sucks that you had to train so hard to keep your Metamorphmagus abilities in check, and now with this animagus thing, but you were born with gifts. These were traits inherited from your parents, and you need to be able to control them—especially in something as ignorant as this Muggle environment. How do you think they'd feel if something happened to you because your power slipped? How do you think I'd feel?"
Teddy seemed to think over Harry's words before nodding his head in agreement. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "I just really like going outside and playing. I don't want to go back to the old way."
Harry nodded his head in understanding and ran his fingers through Teddy's hair. "There's a few kinks that need to be worked out, but I'm sure we can compromise in the future should any issues come up. Okay?"
Teddy's nose wrinkled. "What's compromise?"
Harry laughed. "Compromise basically means to come to an agreement. We'll meet each other half-way when we need to make decisions. I'll respect the freedom that you want to have since you are a big boy and deserve to go outside and have fun when you do so well. However, you have to respect that it's my job to keep you safe, and I will not fail at that. Agree?"
Teddy grinned broadly. "Agree!" he exclaimed, holding out his pinky.
Harry smiled and linked their pinkies together. "Now, it's getting fairly late and you'll need your strength for when we start to test your animagus abilities tomorrow. Get some rest."
Teddy pouted but nodded his head. "How will I do my homework?"
"I'll call the school and ask for your assignments so you don't fall behind. Rest; I'll take care of it."
Trying, and failing, to hide his exhausted yawn, Teddy crawled under the covers of his bed and was asleep within minutes. Harry watched as Teddy's chest moved with ever inhale and exhale. He knew Teddy's tantrum had little to do with missing school and more to do with being so confined again.
A heavy sigh escaped him. He completely understood how Teddy felt. How could he not when he grew up with the Dursleys of all people? His own world had been so small before he knew of his celebrity status. The Dursleys, however, hadn't severely limited his freedom to keep him safe. They'd done it for their own gain; to keep his spirit crushed in hopes that when the time came he would reject the Wizarding world, and to keep their personal house elf in line. After he found out that he was so much more than an unwanted stain on his relatives list of responsibilities, he'd felt so free. It was better than the time he slipped a few bugs in Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's bed, better than flying on a broom for the first time, better than riding Buckbeak, and even better than making his first friend. The burden of living with his disgusting relatives had been lifted and made him experience pure euphoria.
To be continuously thrust back into an environment that never gave a damn about him, or even want him for that matter, had been infuriating. Soon every year ended the same way. He'd spend the year living in bliss—despite the numerous attempts on his life—only to be brought down to reality and, Merlin, he absolutely loathed Dumbledore for doing that to him.
The person that cared for him subjected him to unwanted solitude in the name of safety. Yeah, he knew exactly how Teddy felt.
Harry sighed again before standing up. He kissed Teddy's forehead gently before shutting off the light and leaving. The house wasn't too much of a wreck, thank goodness, so Harry was able to clean quickly and relax on the couch. His mind wandered to the wolves he'd encountered in the forest.
Harry frowned. He'd never seen the wolves there before, and he'd been running through that forest for about eight years. Granted, he never consecutively ran through the foliage, but still. He'd been in the forest enough to know if some mutated wolves had gotten loose. And then, if that weren't bad enough, one of the wolves had turned human. Human! If one could turn human, the odds of all of them also having the ability to turn human ran rather high. It worried him. The man hadn't known what he was talking about; hadn't known a thing about magic. If Muggles had been experimented on and gained the ability to turn into wolves, then they could put him and Teddy at danger. They could unknowingly expose magic and endanger the two wizards just by being close.
Harry rubbed his temples in an attempt to get rid of his headache. He'd done what was necessary to keep his young charge safe, but when he thought about Obliviating the wolf-turned-hot-man, he felt somewhat guilty. It was bizarre, really. He'd Obliviated people before to keep his godson safe, and though he always felt a little regretful that it all had come down to that, he had never truly felt guilty for it. He'd erased the memories of Teddy accidentally changing his hair color in front of Muggles without a second thought. Harry would do anything to keep Teddy from harm's way, and surviving the worst war Magical Europe ever had only hardened his resolve.
Then he remembered the man's—Embry's—warm brown eyes and something tugged at his soul. The guilt increased, and Harry shook his head firmly. He did what he had to. He didn't know if those werewolf wannabes were like Fenrir Greyback, craving the bloody flesh of small children. The image of Teddy, face pale and lips blue, at the mercy of bloodthirsty werewolves popped in his head unbidden. A shiver ran down his spine at that thought, and his resolve hardened even further.
Teddy would never become some supernatural freak's snack—not if Harry could help it.
He paused in his thoughts ever-so-slightly. Despite his head running through the various horrible situations he could find Teddy in because of the wolf rejects, Harry's gut told him that he was all wrong; that Embry wasn't anything like Fenrir Greyback. It confused him greatly since his intuition had never been wrong, yet he clearly remembered three hostile wolves growling at him fiercely.
Granted, that could be because he was an unknown wolf in the area and they were obviously a close-knit pact. Regardless, Harry was almost completely certain that he had been there first. If that was the case, then the wolves should have smelt that they were in another's territory.
Before he could further ponder on the oddity that the wolves had presented, his doorbell rang. Harry immediately stiffened and cursed himself for not paying attention. He was only slightly assured that the wards had not screeched its warnings nor did it stun whoever was at the door. Still, it was better to be safe than sorry. Harry gripped his wand holster tightly and palmed the jeweled dagger at his waist (a 21st birthday gift from Charlie Weasley).
He walked to the door and glanced in the peephole. He sighed in relief when he noticed it was only Sue Clearwater, an older woman he'd made acquaintances with a few years ago. In all honesty, she was probably the only person in the area that he could call friend. They'd met accidentally in the store when she had all but rammed her cart into his. After a few apologies and running into each other a few times, they'd randomly decided to have a bi-monthly brunch.
He learned that she was married (and her husband just so happened to have the same first name; such a small world, he'd thought) with two children, and she always smelled like a wolf. He wasn't too surprised at that, considering Quileute legend stated that Q'wati was a wolf before transforming into a human. It was rather fascinating to him, actually, and Sue had been more than happy to share her culture and beliefs with the foreigner.
She learned that he was an orphan, from Britain, and trying to provide his godson with a better life than he had (or at least, that was the vibe she'd gotten from him). Despite the age difference, Harry had been really easy to talk to and offered her an interesting perspective to the random in-depth conversations they'd have. He was also surprisingly wise and seemed so much older than he looked.
Harry smiled as he opened the door. "Sue," he greeted. "This is a surprise."
Sue Clearwater smiled apologetically in return. "Hello Harry. I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, but I need to talk to you. It's urgent."
Harry frowned slightly in concern. "Is everything alright?" he asked with obvious worry.
Sue hesitated slightly. "I understand that you met a…wolf pack in the forest earlier," she said slowly, brown eyes gauging his reaction.
Sheer will alone prevented Harry from stiffening. Instead, he narrowed his eyes at her and inspected her face. She presented no negative feelings, only curiosity and…hope? Harry briefly contemplated his next course of action. Well, she was still within the wards so she obviously meant him no harm. "And how would you know about that?" he asked coolly.
Sue's shoulders seemed to sag ever-so-slightly with relief. "So it was you," she said with a small smile. "I wasn't exactly sure, but I'm happy they got the right person."
"They?" Harry questioned, feeling more confused than alarmed; a fact that seemed to be an oddity, considering how sharp his war-honed skills were.
"I suppose I haven't been completely honest with you," Sue began. "Um, could I perhaps come in? I'd like to explain everything to you. It's rather important."
Harry thought about it. On the one hand, he didn't want anything to do with something that could potentially jeopardize Teddy's safety. On the other hand, his gut was telling him to take a chance and find out everything he could about the potential threat before passing any judgment. And, well, if he doubted the truth about anything, it wouldn't be his intuition. Nibbling his lower lip, Harry nodded his head slowly. It would be better to find out as much as he could about the strange wolves before deciding on anything.
Sue's face brightened with a warm smile. "Thank you," she said sincerely as Harry stepped aside to let her in.
Harry surveyed the area around his home before closing the door and leading the older woman into his living room. Manners had him asking Sue to wait for him for a moment while he went into the kitchen to prepare tea and biscuits. A familiar scenario came to mind; he'd done the same thing when Andromeda came to deliver the guardianship papers to him. That night was forever burned in his mind.
It was quiet as he brought the tea and biscuits to the coffee table in his living room. The silence almost became awkward, but Harry smiled at Sue, hid his nervous feelings, and played the proper host. "Now, how do you know about the wolves I met?" he asked, blunt and straight to the point like the Gryffindor he was.
Sue seemed to think something over before nodding her head. "You remember the tales I told you? Of how Q'wati transformed from a wolf to a human and was the first of the Quileute tribe?"
Harry hummed in affirmation. "From your response, am I right in assuming that the legends are, in fact, real?"
Sue smiled kindly at him. "Yes. We call it the shape shifter gene, and it doesn't occur in every Quileute. Certain circumstances have to be met before they shift."
Harry thought it over. "What circumstances are those?"
A grimace appeared over Sue's warm features. "Quileutes shift in response to vampires in the area," she admitted. "It's to protect the surrounding humans."
The only evidence of Harry's reaction to the news was his grip tightening on the handle of his teacup. "There are vampires. Here. In Forks." His tone was flat, almost disbelieving and yet showed how much of a war-hardened warrior he was.
Sue's grimace turned into an outright flinch. "Yes," she said softly. "You're taking this rather well, though I guess you would be aware of vampires considering your own ability to shift."
"I'm a Wizard," Harry admitted, slightly surprised when Sue just nodded calmly.
"There was a witch in the family," she elaborated. "Though I'll admit I wasn't exactly privy to that information until," she paused and glanced at the clock, "an hour ago."
Harry hummed. "So the wolves are relatives of yours?"
"My nephew is the alpha to the wolf pack you came across," Sue explained. "The pack is small right now, but we're afraid it'll grow. There have been attacks within a hundred mile radius—vampire attacks."
Harry sighed and set his tea down, bringing his hand up to rub his temples. Eight years of bliss in a relatively unknown American town would soon come to an end; he should've known it was too good to be true. He briefly wondered whether or not he should just take Teddy and run to another town or country, but he knew he wouldn't. Not only would it mean uprooting Teddy from an area he'd known his whole life, his gut instincts were telling him to stay put. Last time Harry checked, vampires equaled becoming a happy meal, and he wasn't too keen on becoming fine cuisine.
Maybe he should have his intuition looked at. After eight years of no activity, it could be a little rusty.
Harry sat straight, startling Sue for a moment. "Is there anything else I should know?" he asked. He ran through various wards in his mind, trying to decide which extra protections to weave through the area surrounding his house.
Sue hesitated. "There is," she said slowly, "and I would need to bring the pack into your house to explain it further."
"No," Harry said immediately, shaking his head. "Teddy's here, and he's going through some…changes. Not here."
"My house in La Push then," she conceded, staring into his eyes and willing him to understand the importance of him meeting the pack.
He couldn't, of course, because it wasn't her place to tell him the role he would have in Embry's life; whether or not that role was wanted didn't matter. The fact remained that, ultimately, Harry would have Embry's life on his shoulders. Whatever he wanted, Embry would make sure it happened. The bond would allow no less. That would normally worry her. When her husband had approached her with news of Embry's imprinting over a stranger, she almost had a heart attack. The thought of a stranger having so much control over the life of someone she knew was terrifying.
But then she found out Embry's imprintee was Harry Potter, the kind, sweet, and responsible young man she normally met twice a month for talks. Her worries were instantly soothed and she knew if, in time, Harry wasn't interested in Embry romantically, he would at least be a friend. It was a lot better Embry imprinting on someone who would outright reject the young shifter without a second thought over the consequences. She shuddered to think what might happen if that were the case. Every time she thought of a shifter imprinting on someone in the history of her tribe, there had been happy endings—eventually.
After finding out that Sue personally knew Embry's imprintee, it hadn't been hard to convince the tribe to allow her to talk to Harry. She had the greatest chance of Harry actually listening to her and convincing him that it would be in his best interests to listen to Embry afterwards.
"I don't know," Harry said hesitantly. "Teddy's quite tired, and he needs to rest. I can't leave him alone."
"My daughter can watch him," Sue replied instantly, feeling like she was grasping at straws. "She acts tough, but she has a soft spot for children."
Harry paused. He didn't really like the idea of leaving Teddy with someone he didn't know, but Sue wasn't the type of woman to endanger children. He would have refused outright, but he saw the urgent look on her face along with a tinge of desperation in her eyes. "How long will this take?"
"An hour and a half, maybe two." Sue stared at him hopefully.
Harry hesitated once more before he sighed, resigned, and nodded his head. "Let's make this quick, okay? I don't feel completely comfortable with leaving him with someone else when he was feeling a little sick earlier."
Sue beamed. "Thank you," she said happily, standing up and drawing him into a hug. "You have no idea how much this means to the pack." Well, he soon would. Sue pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind and stood. "May I use your phone to let my daughter know?"
Harry nodded his head and waited with Sue for her daughter to arrive. He stared hard at Leah, searching for just the tiniest bit of malice and wandlessly scanning her for ill intent, regardless of the fact that the wards wouldn't have allowed her on the property otherwise. It wasn't until he showed her Teddy's room where the boy was sleeping and her eyes softened ever-so-slightly that he decided to actually let Leah sit in the house and wait until Harry returned.
He quickly penned a note for Teddy and left, offering the slumbering child a soft kiss on the temple.
The ride to Sue's house was kind of awkward, but that could have just been his nerves. He took several discreet deep breaths (or at least he hoped they were; if Sue noticed anything off, she never said a word) and followed her into her house.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he was attacked.
A/N: I deeply apologize for the wait. This month has been crazy as hell. Remember how my hard drive crashed? As soon as I got a new one and my dad re-installed Windows 7, my baby sister decided I was too happy and promptly spilled an entire bottle of water on it when I left the room. Luckily, my mom got to it and after waiting for it to dry a few days, it worked fine. Sadly, though, I was unable to write, and will probably not be able to devote much attention to any story for a while. My sister's friend committed suicide a week ago, and she's not taking it well (understandably). Obviously, writing isn't my first priority anymore.
Anyways, I'm not going to unload on all of you. I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint, and the next one is already in the works. I'm hoping to have it out before two weeks, but I'm not going to stress over it. Criticism and feedback would be very much appreciated. =)

Jerome Ropati is in the frame for a return to the Warriors side after having been included in an extended bench to face Penrith at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday.
The centre, who is off contract at the end of the season, played against the Storm and Titans in rounds seven and eight before injury hit again and has worked his way back into form with the Vulcans in recent weeks.
He missed their last outing last weekend, instead travelling to Gosford to provide cover for the NRL side against Manly and has been included as 18th man against the Panthers.
The right-edge defence has been a concern for the Warriors all season but it was the left edge which was exposed in the 27-12 defeat to Manly on Sunday and Ropati offers considerable experience as the pressure to make the top eight mounts. The Warriors probably need to win their last four games to secure a spot in the top eight but go into the match on the back of consecutive defeats.
They take on a Penrith outfit who have lost their last four games in convincing fashion - Newcastle (14-32), Cronulla (10-38), the Sydney Roosters (6-42) and North Queensland (4-36) - but hammered the Warriors 62-6 the last time the two sides met.
"While they may not have good recent form we, of all teams, know what they're capable of,'' Elliott said.
"We'll undoubtedly be reminded about what happened the last time we met but a lot has changed since then. We've shown plenty of improvement generally but had a tough day against a very, very good Manly side on Sunday.
"This is a game of major significance for us. Every game, every week is. What we need to do is to strive for the type of performance we know we're capable of.
It will be captain Simon Mannering's 185th career appearance, drawing him level with Lance Hohaia in third on the Warriors' all-time list behind only Logan Swann (195) and Stacey Jones (261). Still only 26, Mannering will lead the side for the 85th time leaving him only six games short of equalling Steve Price's club record of 91 games in charge from 2005-2009.
Prop Sam Rapira will edge closer to his 150-game milestone with his 148th match for the club while fellow front rower Jacob Lillyman plays his 97th game since joining the club in 2009.
Warriors side to play Penrith at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday (4pm):
Kevin Locke, Ngani Laumape, Dane Nielsen, Konrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, Sam Rapira, Nathan Friend, Ben Matulino, Feleti Mateo, Simon Mannering (c), Elijah Taylor. Interchange: Suaia Matagi, Jacob Lillyman, Todd Lowrie, Dominique Peyroux, Jerome Ropati.

Another morningMature
Alek took dinner with my mother and I, she finally got to meet him and she was quite curious if a little snoopy. For once he ate with me instead of just watching. I think he had said something about eating before going to school and eating when he came home, one time.
My mother gave us an amused smile when we went back to my room. She had always been nice, understanding and liberal with me. She let me choose my clothes, my interests, my faith, my education and never stepped in my love life, well most of the time.
After dinner, Alek and I talked the night away, speaking quietly in my room; she probably wouldn't believe me if I told her we didn't have sex. Instead we spent the night cuddled one against the other until I fell asleep.
I stretch my arms as I lay in bed when I notice that he's gone which causes me to raise my head and brush my hair out of my eyes to sweep the room with my eyes. Although I can't see very well, I can't find any Alek shaped blur.
I reach out and grab my glasses, putting them on and look around once more. He's gone... "Smooth..." I mutter to myself.
I get up and on my feet and try to walk my way to the shower when I notice a note taped to the door.
"I'm sorry, I had to go to an appointment and you were too cute to wake up.-Alek"
Seeing the note and the compliment made a smile form on my lips and my cheeks become red. I leave it there and go to the shower like I had intended. Like always, I linger in the shower, letting the warm water wash the night away and clearing my mind.
Once I can think more coherently, I can't help but ask myself over and over; Are Alek and I in a relationship or was it just the emotions that over came us? The question still torment me when I get out and get dressed.
"You know what?" I ask myself out loud. "I'll just call him."
With a lot of hesitation, I call his number but only end up on his message box.
"Hey Alek, it's Cass, could you drop over to my place as soon as possible? I need to talk to you... I work from seven to one, in case you can't make it before that. See you later."
When I hang up, I feel my heart beating like crazy, which only make the question harder to not think about. I walk around my bedroom in circles trying to figure out what to do. After a while, I force myself to sit down and boot my laptop.
"If I can't distract myself in this world, I'll go to another." I mumble to myself, something I tend to do quite a lot when I'm nervous... That and sleepwalk.
Like I always do before writing, I take out my notes and carefully go over them again...

After reading the comments on Sue's wonderful Baltimore post and watching the Soaked video from that show, I'm almost in tears too. Not from just Adam's amazing connection to this song, but from the rudeness of the "fans." I added my comments to the post, saying most of this, but felt it deserved a post on its own.
I guess you can't stop people from singing along, that's a lot of the fun of going to a concert. I'm sure artists appreciate that. It's got to be flattering to them for so many to know their lyrics inside and out to a song that isn't radio-play. I don't know if there's a protocol about singing along to fast versus slow songs, but when an artist like Adam connects so much to his ballads that his performance is visibly altered, I'd like to let him have his moment, and command the stage by himself. He doesn't have backup singers or dancers then, so we should follow his lead. The constant conversation and shout-outs are really a lack of consideration for the performer. We don't know what Adam can hear from the stage. He may be so into his performance that he doesn't even hear it. But it seemed like you could almost see Adam searching for new areas of the audience to focus on, one that is getting his message.
When someone is talking and taking away from my enjoyment of the show, I don't have any problem with letting them know. Let's all agree on what to say. Something like "I have been looking forward for so long to hearing this amazing man sing, and I would really appreciate it if you'd hold your conversation until it's over" is non-aggressive and gets the point across. Whattaya say Glambs?

Reviews of this property
Great location for what we were doing. Beautiful apartment. Wasn't overly impressed with the sofa bed and airbed options for sleeping (no actual bed in the apartment) but for a 1 bedroom apartment it was able to accommodate it. All amenities and with children having a small yard outside worked well.
All the best, nice hosts, highly recommended.
Alles bestens,netter Gastgeber,sehr empfehlenswert.
Great Apparment in a great neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
Tolles Apparment in einem tollen Stadtteil. Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen.

Schöne Wohnung, haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Ruhig und trotzdem sehr zentral. Super netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Würden bei Thomas jederzeit wieder buchen.
Very stylish apartment in Winterbourne, stylish and personal, attentive host. Only slight criticism: the sofa can accommodate 2 is rather narrow. Find the area beautiful, the best with the wheel in the center (near Hamburg Stadtrad) drive. Would book again immediately!
Sehr stylishes Apartement in Winterhude, stilvoll und persönlich eingerichtet, aufmerksamer Gastgeber. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: die Ausziehcouch bietet Platz für 2 ist aber recht schmal. Finde das Viertel wunderschön, am besten mit dem Rad ins Zentrum fahren (Stadtrad Hamburg ganz in der Nähe). Würde sofort wiederbuchen!
A very nice and well-decorated apartment with a small garden, complimentary white wine as a welcome gift and a lot of other extras.
