AMC Loews Metreon 16

San Francisco,

bigjoe, you know this site well enough to know that you are welcome to ask a question about the Northpoint but please post question on that theater's page, not on the Metreon page. The history of the Northpoint, including replies to your question, are best consolidated on that page. Non relevant comments may also be deleted, so post there please.
Hello From NYC-
when i discovered this wonderful site 4 years ago I looked up all the theaters i had been to in my many trips to S.F.. to which i was shocked to see that the Northpoint had closed a few years ago and was converted to retail space. that theaters hasn't had any recent comments so I hope you don't mind me asking the question here- what happened? the equivalent theater in Manhattan the Ziegfeld stayed the theater to see big action/science fiction/fantasy films from its opening Dec. of 1969 thru January 2016. a much longer lifespan than the Northpoint.
I think hdtv might be referring to the Metreon itself. The IMAX web site lists only 17 theaters with laser IMAX in the US and Canada, and 22 more in the rest of the world. I don't think many of them have screens as big as the Metreon's, though.
I don't get it. That link doesn't refer to any particular city. What city is the real laser IMAX? Why write in code & mystery?
2 years of posts are missing from this page. I've noticed that some of my posts for other theaters were deleted also. ???
re terrywade – Cinema 13 was the theater that had a Dolby Atmos sound system installed for Gravity. Dolby Vision Cinema will still use the Atmos sound system, add more comfortable seating and the latest in digital projection.
Visited this cinema today and they are busy putting in the new recliners in about half of the cinema's at one end of the building. Cinema #13 (the largest screen non Imax in the theatre) is being turned into SF's fist Dolby Vision Cinema. They removed the small candy counter they never used in front of the new Dolby Cinema entrance. Go visit in the next few weeks to see the old worn seats before they are removed in cinemas #7-#12. Be ready for noisy hammering going on during your movie from the next door cinemas they are working on. Many people left and got a refund! They need to put a sign up in the lobby on the remodel noise going on. Once a former Loews/Sony large complex theatre the seating will be way reduced by the larger seats at the SF Metreon. Same old problem in Cinema#7 and most of the spaces, the red aisle lights shine on the bottom right and left part of the curved screen. At least AMC still has masking that moves not like Cinemark/Century that keeps everything open with boring white screen shown. Things hope to ready with the new seats in some auditoriums by Christmas. They have turned up the sound I think to drown out all the hammering. Bring the workers in at night to do the work please.
The Imax screen was designed by Gensler, a major architecture firm. The screen is identical to the one at the Amc Lowes Lincolm Square 13. It is the largest in North America at 97 by 76 ft.
Transformers 4 was shot in digital imax 3d (the first feature length film to use it) and presented that way.The next 70mm film to be shown later this year will be Interstellar which will probably be the last major 70mm imax feature film.
Transformers 4 is shown using their digital projector. While the IMAX scenes are significantly larger than the regular scenes, they are still using much less of the screen than if it had been shown on 15/70 film. Such a shame even though it is probably still the best place in SF to see it.
hdtv267 – Saw 3D Gravity here on Sunday in auditorium 13 which was outfitted with a Dolby Atmos sound system Dolby Atmos link and a medium size curving screen. Very good 3D and sound, the low frequency effects felt like they were going right through you. The film was released with a Dolby Atmos sound track BTW. Why auditorium 13 and not IMAX? My friend, who bought the tickets in advance at the Metreon in person the day before, asked the ticket seller if Gravity was presented in IMAX ($19) using the entire screen. He was told no – that the Metreon would no longer show true IMAX as the projectors had all been switched out to digital. So he opted for the Atmos presentation ($15) which I have to say was quite impressive. Most of the films (Apocalypse Now Redux, Spiderman, Avatar) I've seen at the Metereon IMAX theater over the years have not been projected on the whole screen but looked like blowups using maybe 60 – 70% of the screen.
A 2012 photo can be seen here.
According to this article in yesterday's SF Gate: View link, the current main entrance to the Metreon and the theaters on the corner of Fourth and Mission will be glassed in and used by Target as a cafeteria area. The entrance is apparently now going to be further east on Mission and the escalators relocated as well.
@Terry Wade: All 2:35 widescreen shot films that are blown up for IMAX appear only on the middle part of the screen. I thought everyone knew that by now. The only way you'll see the entire IMAX screen filled is for 1:85 shot films and films with scenes shot with IMAX cameras ("The Dark Knight", "Tron Legacy", "Transformers 2").
Really once you get inside it's just your typical Sony/Loews of the time. They originally opened with standard seats in a stadium style but replaced them a few years later. Not a bad theatre overall but suffers from the location. I'd much rather go to the Century across the street.
Like several other Loew's houses of the period, the Metreon was designed by architect David Rockwell and his firm, Rockwell Group.
Went to see 'Inception' last week at the large AMC IMAX Metreon in San Francisco. The place is no longer a Sony or Loews place. As usual one lady selling tickets in a boxoffice for 7 opening. You have to wait to buy a ticket same at the candy counter. Over 10 slots just two open. Why wait to by the expensive junk. The worst was in the Imax Theatre (at least this is a big full old time Imax theatre not the Imax Experience some chains are doing to make extra money) They are now showing ads in the middle part of the big Imax screen way before the show starts. The thing that bothered me was the projection room work light was shining on the screen during the whole ad part of the pre show commercials. I looked for a manager to have them turn off the light but no manger to be found. At least when they started the film someone in the booth finally turned off the light. The worst was yet to come. Only the middle part of the huge Imax screen was used for 'Inception' A mid wide screen CinemaScope look from a blow up shot film. Not true big square IMAX. I like good stereo sound but the sound in the IMAX Metreon was way to loud. Many people I saw covering their ears. The stage speakers were so loud, you can't even hear the surround speakers that are always way to low at the Metreon IMAX. Next time you go start your search for a manager if you have a problem like sound and leaking light they may be out for lunch at the SF AMC Metreon and you will miss the film. This is not the best place to see IMAX in the area. I know some films may not be shot in true 70mm or digital IMAX but I am not getting a discount when only part of the screen is being used. I think I'll save my ears and just see It in a regular size large screen auditorium next time. The people next to me cut up paper and stuck it in their ears. Have not ever seen that take place in a Cinema. The bass was so over the top my ears were ringing out on the street after I left. Some of San Francisco's most rowdy people will attend the Metreon and talk all during the show. They have fights and a person was killed in this Cinema a few years ago. Enter at your own risk and bring ear plugs!
I've posted information and photos from a recent visit here.
Not exactly a movice palace but looks cool.
Photos of this theater:
"300" is currently playing here in IMAX.
The Meteron is to some extend a souless multiplex, but as far as it goes, it's probably the best souless multiplex in the world. The theater features DLP projectors on some screens, and every screen is THX certified. Even among THX auditoriums The Metreon has outstanding sound.
The Metreon draws strong crowds on opening days, leading to a pleasant movie going experience of enthusiastic fans.
A nice decorative touch is the terrazzo pavement leading up to the long ticket counter. The pavement looks very much like that in the entrance of the Wiltern, Los Angeles.
I really hate this place.
It put many of the other older movie palaces in San Fancisco out of business!
I kinda miss the place…….
Auditoriums #11 # 12 is BIIIIIG!!!!!
I groaned if a movie I went to see was at #1's – #4 seems teeny tiny
Went there almost every weekend but since I live down the Peninsula and theres already a 12 plex just up the street from where I live.

Al Swearengen
this wiki
Albert "Al" Swearengen is a character based on the real-life figure of the same name, and one of the leading characters on the HBO series Deadwood, a fictionalised account of the real-life town's early history and the figures who populated it. Al is the owner and proprietor of the Gem Saloon, and one of the most powerful figures in the settlement. He has no qualms with using underhand dealings, violence and murder to further his aims or to keep the thugs and prostitues who work for him under control, and appears at first to be the most evil and ruthless character in the series, but is revealed to have hidden depths and even (few) redeeming features as the series unfolds. He is played by noted British actor Ian McShane, who won a Golden Globe for his performance.

Shikamaru and Temari - Intense Mission
This is a romance fanfic (shikaxtema)
Shikamaru gets dragged onto a 'troublesome' mission with 'that annoying woman'.
"A WHAT?" Temari screamed at the kazekage,
"Please Temari, you'll give me a headache" replied Gaara,
"Sorry, but… a what?"
"You heard me, I said you will find a partner, go to this address, and learn a song, which you will then perform for a Lord. Our country's ninja are currently occupied in training in defense, so you will go to Konoha village, and find a partner there to stay with you while you rehearse. This could be a trap, so please find someone reliable, but harmless."
"A song… but… Why me?"
"Because…" Gaara began, then hesitated. Temari could have sworn she saw him blush briefly,
"Because… I heard you singing the other day, and you weren't bad." Temari blushed at this. She thought the bathroom walls would be more soundproof. She would never sing in the shower again.
"Anyway, please be on your way… And be careful."
"Yes Gaara." She knelt then disappeared.
She began to walk slowly to Konoha, knowing only one shinobi who was not only harmless, but also lazy, and would keep quiet.
On a far off hill, by the hidden leaf village of Konoha, a lazy ninja, and his chubby friend, were laying down on the grass; one of them watching the white fluffy clouds go by, whilst the other of them noisly munched a packet of crisps,
"Man, clouds sure are nice," Shikamaru sighed to himself.
"Nwoh, Portato chwips ware bwedder" His best friend replied with his mouth full.
"But Choji, look at how they just float there, doing nothing all day, but relaxing. No work; that would be so great…"
"Yeah, but clouds can't eat, and I wouldn't like that,"
"True, I can't imagine you going a day without a bag of those," They both laughed.
Just then, a bird flew over.
"Stupid bird," Shikamaru grunted in annoyance, "Temporarily blocking my view of the clouds…" But then, the bird turned around, and landed by his feet. There was a small scroll of paper attached to its right leg.
"What's this?" Shikamaru opened up the scroll and read it, " Oh man, that old lazy wants to see me in her office."
"The Hokage?"
"Yeah, well I'd better see what she's after, see you later Choji."
"See ya!" Choji beamed and waved.
"Shizune!" The hokage barked at her assistant, "Where is that Nara kid?"
"Lady Tsunade! I sent a messenger bird to him, he should be here soon." Shizune was fond of her mistress, but always more than slightly scared of her fiery temper,
"Tsch!" Tsunade spat at the ground. She hated hard work, she'd much rather be out traveling and gambling when she needed more money. She did care about the village though, which is possibly the only reason she convinced herself to stick with her job.
Twenty minutes later a bamboozled, but not really caring, Shikamaru trudged into the room, a sour expression on his face,
"Did I interrupt your favorite hobby?" Tsunade snarled at him,
"Old hag…" He muttered,
"WHAT WAS THAT?" She glared at him and slowly rose from her desk,
"N-Nothing" He retreated, "So what did you want?"
"We have a message from the Kazekage, he says that he is sending one of his top ninja here on their way to a mission, and that they will need to choose a shinobi to go with them to a Lord's mansion, and guard them while they are there."
"Guard them? …Why would the kazekage want them guarded? Unless…" Shikamaru thought for a moment, "Oh no! Oh no please not her! Not again, anything but that… I'll go find someone to go with her," He thought, most work is better than that idea; he would search the whole village if he had to,
"No, I've decided that you will offer to be her guard. Of course, you do have experience escorting this particular shinobi around our village, and you know the surrounding area well, it makes perfect sense,"
"So it is her… damn…" He sighed and yawned loudly, barely covering his mouth with his hand. "How troublesome."

The Reading Desk: More than First Meets the Eye
Morgan Leeson is a summer intern at the Charles Dickens Museum and a sophomore studying English at Bates College, located in Lewiston, Maine, U.S.A.
By Morgan Leeson
As part of my new position, as a summer intern, I have been asked to choose six items in the museum to research and blog about each week. For my first item, I've decided to explore the history of Charles Dickens's reading desk, a stately-looking piece that accompanied Dickens on his 1868 reading tour in America. I was initially drawn to the item because of my interest in the reading tours themselves, made famous, in their own right, thanks to Dickens's powerful performances. However, as I began my research, I was happy to discover the desk was more than an entryway for discussion of the reading tours; rather, I realized that the desk has a story of its own.
One of the oldest residents of 48 Doughty Street, the red-trimmed reading desk has been part of the Charles Dickens Museum's collection since 1927. Given as a gift by Charles to his second oldest daughter Kate Perugini on the night of his last reading, the desk was later passed down to B.W. Matz, founder of the Dickens Fellowship, before it was gifted to our collection.

But what, apart from its storied history with the museum, makes this desk so special? Distinct from any podium or lectern, Dickens had this reading desk specially crafted to fit his needs on stage. First among these alterations was Dickens's request that the desk be constructed as an open box, without side walls obstructing the audience's full view of the speaker. This innovation would have been necessary for one of Dickens's live readings, as he relied heavily on full-body gestures and movement in order to bring his beloved characters to life.
The reading desk, wrapped in crimson fabric and adorned with tasselled arches, is currently on display in the museum's drawing room. Charles Dickens Museum collection, DH300
Additionally, Dickens adapted the usual lectern design by requesting a box be built atop the podium. This change was made so that Dickens would have a place to rest his arm during what were usually two-hour readings, as he dramatized from a special reader's copy of his text. These reader's copies, many of which are housed at the museum today, were re-printings of the passages intended for performance, with extra space left in the margins for Dickens to jot down changes to the text or additional stage directions.

Furthermore, in other editions of the desk, Dickens added a shelf off to the right side where he could set necessities, such as a glass of water or a handkerchief. Although no shelf appears attached to the museum's own reading desk, a record of one such shelf can be seen in a painting completed by Robert Hannah, which is currently on display in the museum's drawing room.

In addition to tweaking elements of the reading desk's function, Dickens also made specific changes to the reading desk's appearance. In a sketch of an earlier desk's design, Dickens scrawled a small note beneath his drawing, which reads: "The parts marked thus to be of a greyish green, not too dark. The fringe to match. There should be a fringe round the little desk for the book." Dickens's note, articulating his desire for a particular shade of green, demonstrates his meticulous attention to detail, as well as his notoriously flamboyant taste in fashion. Later on in his reading career, Dickens would go on to change the fabric colour from green to scarlet, which was known to be his favourite colour.

In an article published in the Dickensian in the winter of 1978, scholar Philip Collins notes that the new scarlet reading desk, created for Dickens's American reading tour, was part of a larger change in staging. Previously, the green fabric on the desk was accompanied by a matching green carpet, as well as a background consisting of a "well chosen brown." With the introduction of the red desk, however, Dickens opted for a background draped in swathes of crimson fabric, which he describes in a letter to a friend, Annie Field, as looking: "like the 'wings' of a theatre." Dickens goes on in the letter to note that: "consequently, the figure is now completely isolated, and the slightest action becomes more important."
With this letter, Dickens gives us a brief glimpse into how he might have conceived of himself as an actor on stage, as well as an author on tour. This dual understanding is unsurprising given Dickens's long history with theatre; however, perhaps it was this actor's mentality that led Dickens to take a keen interest in the design of everyday items, as elements such as the reading desk or the background drapes became comparable to props on a set.
Most information gathered from Philip Collins' article, 'Dickens's Public Readings: The Kit and the Team' in the 1978 Winter Dickensian: 8-16.
Thank you for your comments.
Dickens read his works for friends and the public in a variety of settings.
One of the earliest records of Dickens reading his work aloud is captured by Daniel Maclise in this sketch (http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1041098/charles-dickens-reading-the-chimes-drawing-daniel-maclise/) of Dickens reading from The Chimes to some of his friends at John Foster's house on Lincoln's Inn Fields.
On his advertised reading tours, Dickens performed in a variety of auditoriums and theatres in the UK and in the USA.
His final reading was on the 15th March 1870 at St James Hall (http://charlesdickenspage.com/images/stjameshall.jpg) – a very large venue in London. For further reading: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charles-Dickens-His-Performing-Selves/dp/0199236208
How big of an audience was there in his day during one of his readings? How many are able to fit into the room? Is it an auditorium type theater with stage, or was it all on one floor?
I have seen the desk with my own eyes in the drawing room where Simon Callow delivers an wonderfully immersive rendition of one of his readings. It must have been amazing to have been in the same room during one of his actual readings and feel the energy bursting from him.

State officials reduce size of water advisory in Jackson pipeline spill
Gasoline contamination of private wells in the Town of Jackson from a July 17 pipeline spill has not spread beyond the initial impact area, state environmental officials said Friday in announcing they would reduce the size of a drinking water advisory area in the town.
A drinking water advisory area was established July 31. At that time, "the number of wells with impacts was increasing on a daily basis and there was a lot of uncertainty," said Steve Ales, private water section chief for the state Department of Natural Resources in Madison.
After weeks of testing wells, he said, the DNR is confident the gasoline is not spreading at greater distances from the spill location north of Western Ave.
Gasoline has been detected in 26 private wells since the spill. Levels of contamination fluctuate and recent tests did not detect benzene or other contaminants in all those wells.
The revised drinking water advisory area includes homes on both sides of the following sections of roads: Western Ave. between Maple and Division roads; Division Road between Western Ave. and Mill Road; Maple Road between Western Ave. and Sherman Road; Sherman Road from Maple Road to one-half mile east of Maple Road; Wildflower Lane; Mockingbird Drive; Hummingbird Drive.
"Although we're reducing the boundaries of the advisory area, homeowners with wells along these roads are advised to continue to use bottled water, or water from a known safe source for drinking, cooking and other food preparation," Ales said.
"Homeowners outside the area that were previously included in the Drinking Water Health Advisory we issued in late July, can resume using well water for all potable uses," he added.
West Shore Pipe Line Company, owner of the pipeline, will continue to sample private wells in the entire original advisory area.

Cavotec Mandates Review of Possible Secondary Listing on Nasdaq OMX First North
Cavotec is pleased to announce that the Board has granted a mandate to Sweden's Handelsbanken to explore the possibilities surrounding a secondary listing on the Nasdaq OMX First North stock exchange (OMX). The application is subject to the normal approval process of OMX and is at the discretion of OMX.
Cavotec considers a secondary listing as an important step to further broadening its shareholder base internationally, and to provide additional ways of maximising shareholder value.
"Lower liquidity on the NZX, coupled with falls in overall trading volumes over the past year, has underlined the necessity of seeking alternative routes to capitalise on future opportunities," says Ottonel Popesco, Cavotec CEO.
A secondary listing would also provide Cavotec with additional avenues to raise capital to support longer term growth strategies, while simultaneously closing the gap between a listing in New Zealand and the Company's expanding manufacturing base outside the Pacific Rim region.
"Maximising returns for our shareholders, while creating a financially stable and growth- oriented operation, has always been our main focus. We see the move towards a secondary listing on the OMX First North as a natural development of this strategy," adds Stefan Widegren, Cavotec Executive Chairman.
The First North bourse is operated by the several Nordic NASDAQ OMX exchanges in Copenhagen, Helsinki, Iceland and Stockholm.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I got hit by a drunk driver, My truck was damaged on the back and all the passenger side. His insurance says that either it was my fault or that the truck was damage already on the side. His insurance wants me to give them a recorded statement on how the accident happen. I blacked out and do not remember everything. I told them they already had the police report but they said the report was not specific. Do I have to give them a statement. If I don't will they not pay form damamges. The drunk driver was cited with criminal cahrges.& I have hospital and Dr bills to pay and have benn without car for a month.
You should contact your insurance company and let them handle the matter - especially if the other driver's insurance is making sounds about not paying or previously existing damages.Ask a similar question
It is not wise to give a statement to the at fault driver's insurance company without consulting with an attorney first. If you give a statement, tell the TRUTH and tell them that it will be limited to the collision and the property damage and nothing else. Remember, you can have your own insurance copmany repair the damage to your truck and then they will go after the other driver's insurance company and also recover your deductible if you were not at fault.Ask a similar question
We advise our clients not to give a recorded statement without representation. Why would anyone talk to an insurance company unless you have experience in that area. Obviously, the major reason to get the statement is to commit you to a story that they believe will help their insured and them out of a situation where they potentially owe you money for damages to your vehicle as well as medical expenses, lost wages, physical impairment, mental anguish and perhaps exemplary damages for driving while drunk. Please check out our web site at www.LonghornLawyer.com to learn more about claims against drunk drivers.Ask a similar question
You should contact a Board Certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer in Texas before agreeing to give a statement. In a case like what you are describing, I usually advise that a lawsuit should be filed immediately without giving a recorded statement. There is evidence that is best preserved and obtained after a lawsuit is filed.Ask a similar question

Chapter 7 - Slytherin FunMature
Changing the Past
Chapter Seven
Slytherin Fun?
Having made our decisions concerning our fate, we slowly get up and leave, Gregor, Adam, Katherine and Steph making immediate left turns, heading up the stairs to their respective dorms. Megan, Hannah and I continue on our way down.
"How do you get to your dorm?" I ask after two flights of silence, "Is it near the kitchens?"
Megan laughs at the eagerness in my voice whilst Hannah shakes her head, answering me, "No, I don't think the kitchens are in the dungeons, there are a set of barrels, we hit them in a pattern and get in,"
"That's it?" I ask, incredulous, "That's all the safety you get, hitting some barrels?" Megan answers for me this time, with a smirk.
"I'd like to see you have a go, if you hit the wrong barrel or tap the wrong amount of times you get hit in the face with a stream of magically induced vinegar."
"Magically induced how?" I immediately question, lowering my voice as we pass a Ravenclaw heading up the stairs.
"It's enchanted so the smell won't go away for a week." Hannah informs us, I wrinkle my nose, imagining the smell of vinegar for a full week – yuck. "What about Slytherin?" Hannah continues as we near the last flight, the Great Hall in sight in front of us.
"We have a wall behind a draping, it's much like the wall at Diagon Alley," I answer readily, inwardly wincing at the thought of the other Slytherins hearing me tell them this.
"Is it really littered with the bones of the previous Muggleborn's?" Megan asks, I stop in the middle of the stairs, turning to look at her directly, her face is blank, but her eyes are glinting, something she never could hide.
"And where on earth did you hear that!?" I grind out, continuing my walk down, turning left at the bottom of the stairs, towards the dungeons.
"Hannah Bones and Susan were informing us last night, and how you must be evil to have been allowed to go there," Hannah tells me, I turn, stopping at an alcove just before the dungeons, not willing to stop our conversation this soon.
"Well you can tell Hannah and Susan," I begin with my head up, looking down at my friends over my nose, making my voice high and pompous, "that we live in a mysterious, underwater shipwreck."
"A shipwreck?" Hannah asks, eyebrow raised, I sniff and nod, turning my back on them.
"And I am highly insulted at their vulgar claims. I would never sleep on the bones of those before me – I'd much rather sleep on the skin of my foes."
"And that's better, how?" Megan asks, I turn my head slightly, seeing Hannah has her hand over her mouth, either trying not to puke or laugh, same difference.
"I personally skinned them for offending me." Hannah loses her battle and starts laughing, Megan and I join in soon after, the three of us sitting on the floor of an alcove, Hufflepuff's and Slytherin's alike giving us odd looks as they pass.
"We should probably head, I think it's almost curfew, and we'll be working on Homework together." Hannah inform me when we sober up. Together, we stand back up, still grinning stupidly.
"All right," I sadly agree as we start to walk to our separation, "Ensure you remember to give Susan and Hannah my message though," I add as the turn right half way down the next hall.
I continue on alone, wandering silently down the echoey hall, thinking back on my first day at Hogwarts. It had gone so fast, I have already had Potions, Defence and Charms. Snape, Quirrel and Flitwick all in one day, what fun.
Apparently I'm actually good at Potions as well, I fairly enjoyed just following the instructions, watching the potion create itself under my careful instruction. I can understand Snape's love for the art, but he really should instruct more, by asking one little question I managed to stop a catastrophe in class. And I don't have the books with me, So I have no idea what Neville's next mistake will be, perhaps I should work with Neville, not Steph, that wat Snape will be less likely to pick on him and I can help ensure he doesn't blow any potion up, it might make him more confident quicker.
Mental note: Ask Steph to switch potion partners. We're sure to have other classes together, the teachers love to put Slytherin and Gryffindor together.
Talking of Slytherin, Defence was actually alright – once I left the room. His stutter isn't as bad as I had expected it to be, but it's still Voldemort teaching us. Nope, no thanks. And then we had Charms where we wrote a load of stuff.
Seriously, though. Why have a day of lessons, then have a long two days off? Why not just get the three days off? By this point, I have reached the Tapestry covering the wall to my common room, and so, with a deep breath, I cut off my thoughts and head in.
"Pure," the wall opens up, just as it had last night and earlier today. Inside, there are groups of Slytherin's scattered all over, some doing work over scattered books and parchment, others sitting talking, some playing games, some sitting reading.
I head over to one of the groups sitting talking, consisting of Pansy, Tracy, Millicent and, surprisingly, Daphne. It seems Pansy succeeded in getting her out of her loner streak.
"Hey, Louise, you going to join us?" Tracy asks as she spots me walking up to them, I smile and nod, plonking myself on the floor between Tracy and Pansy. "Great," Tracy grins, scooting over a bit, allowing me more room.
"What are we doing?" I ask, noticing they each have a cup of beans in front of them.
"GLouise told us we have to participate in this game to create stronger bonds between us all." Millicent informs me, I look up to where she is sitting, directly opposite me and almost laugh at the glare of distrust she is giving the cup.
"What's in the cup?" I continue as Pansy hands me one, I look into it, there are five beans, all different coloured. Some multi-coloured, others one. One specific bean looks a disgusting green-orange.
"Every-Flavoured Beans," Millicent flinches, my stomach rolls. I hate these things.
"And we have to use these?" I plead, "We can't use like a horrible drink or something?"
"Nope." Tracy answers me, popping the 'p' happily.
"Okay, let's just get on with it." Daphne drones from next to Millicent, looking bored.
"Get on with what?" I whine, still confused as I spot the boys in the other side of the room seemingly playing the same thing, Malfoy is currently sticking a bright pink bean into his mouth, much to Zabini's amusement.
"Never have I ever." Tracy answers, practically jumping on the spot, face alight.
"Isn't that a muggle game?" I ask, nonplussed, why are Slytherin's actively playing this game?
"Who do you think created the game?" Daphne sneers. I let it go, not willing to create cold feelings this early into the game.
"All right," I sigh, resigned, "who starts?"
"Me!" Pansy immediately yelps, sitting straight up. "Never have I ever been traveling." I pause, do I take my answers from my previous life? And if I do, do I go right up to age nineteen? Or just to elven? Can I even remember that far back? Well my first holiday to Egypt I was nine so… I reach blindly into my cup and take out a bean.
It's a bright yellow mixed with slight white. Okay, so either lemon or…. Unable to think of what else it could be, I shrug and hold it to my mouth. Pansy is holding a dark red to her own mouth. Nodding to each other, we put them in.
I chew, nervously poking the treat with my mouth.
"Popcorn?" I ask, relaxing at the non-disgusting taste. I look to Pansy who doesn't seem to be having as much luck with hers, her face is scrunched as she struggles to swallow.
"Blood!" She gasps out, shivering in disgust, I laugh alongside Tracy and Millicent as Pansy starts running her tongue against her teeth. "Where did you go?" Tracy asks me as we wait on Pansy.
"Egypt on holiday," I answer, closing my eyes in remembrance.
"What was it like?" Millicent adds, looking interested.
"Hot." I answer immediately, "And sandy. But it was great."
"Who's next?" Pansy asks, deciding to recover, eyeing Tracy.
"We haven't asked where you went yet!" Millicent interrupts, pouting. Rolling her eyes, Pansy answers.
"Rome. A business trip with my parents."
"Oh, Millicent answers, looking down. "So who's next?" She adds, we turn to Pansy.
"Millicent." She decides. We turn to her, waiting as she thinks about her statement.
"Never have I ever broken a bone." I groan, this isn't fir. I've broken a total of three bones – my arm at like six years old and two bones in my leg at eleven.
My next bean is pure white. I have a bad feeling about it. Looking up, I notice Pansy, Tracy and Daphne all have beans as well.
"Cheers," I call out, shoving the bean in my mouth and biting down. Mmmmm this one is nice. Looking around, the other three seem to be having nice ones as well. Millicent looks disappointed.
"So, Louise, what did you break?"
"My arm, when I was seven, I tripped over the cat." I answer truthfully. Pansy and Tracy laugh at my disgruntled frown.
"I hope you didn't hurt it!" Millicent gasps, I get the feeling she isn't talking about the arm.
"No, the cat was fine. He ran away for about a week, but he came back. Pansy?" I add, cutting her laughing off, "What did you break?"
"My foot, I stole my dad's wand when I was about four and I managed to levitate the bookshelf on top of me." It's my turn to laugh alongside Tracy now as Pansy smirks.
"Safe to say you would have learned your lesson," Tracy scoffs, still laughing. "I broke my nose when my brother-in-law pushed me down the stairs."
"Ouch," I wince, we turn, as one to Daphne.
"What did you break? And how?" Tracy asks her, Daphne mumbles something before looking up, daring us to laugh.
"Me and my sister were mucking around on the brooms, when I got pushed off by Astoria and broke my foot." I wince in sympathy, a sibling causing a break isn't nice.
"Daphne, you're turn." Millicent decides. Daphne smirks.
"Never have I ever been considered for another house."
I was considered for Gryffindor, so I take, as does Millicent and Tracy.
Pansy goes next, "Never have I ever stolen from someone." At last, I don't need to take a bean, Daphne, Tracy and Millicent do. Then it's my turn,
"Never have I ever cared about blood prejudices," All four of them take, I don't react, knowing that I have the chance to change them, besides, they have all most likely grown up in largely prejudiced households, growing up in a place like that will rub off on you.
"Never have I ever considered joining the Dark Lord." Tracy states. Millicent and Pansy take a bean, I smile, we seem to be getting to the nitty gritty already.
"Never have I ever physically harmed another person." Millicent decides, eying us. Pansy, Daphne and I take a bean. I take the green orange one, the second last.
Pansy puts her last one in her mouth as Daphne, like me, takes her second last. Mine turns out to be some pumpkin flavoured one, not too nice, but not disgusting either.
Its Daphne's turn next, she takes longer this time, and we're all on our last bean. Suddenly, she smirks, looking right at me, "Never have I ever been taught about puberty." I glare back at her as I take the last bean into my mouth, wincing at the indescribable horrible taste as Daphne continues to get the death glare. I am out of the game.
"Low blow, Daphne," I grump, sitting back to watch the end.
With just Tracy, Millicent and Daphne left, it doesn't take long for Daphne to be declared the winner. Before she can claim bragging rights, however, GLouise walks up to us and informs us it's time for first years to go to bed.
Grumbling, but willing enough, we get up and head for the dorms, noticing the boys being sent as we vanish around the corner. Reaching our room, we get changed and settle on our beds, even Daphne leaves her curtains open.
"You are a cheat and I demand a rematch." Tracy declares, the first to speak as she glares to the other side of the room at Daphne.
"I'm not risking a rematch." I decide, laughing at Tracy's offended glare, "What?" I ask innocently, "I'll be defeated in seconds, she knows too much." At the opposite end of the room, I notice Daphne smirking smugly to herself.
"Just you wait," Tracy adds, "We'll get you back. One way or another." Daphne just raises a blonde eyebrow, face straight.
"We have to play some card games," Millicent declares, "I'll get my mum to send my pack over."
"Sounds fun." I agree, "Hey, do these alarms automatically turn off for the weekend? I don't fancy being woken too early tomorrow."
"No," Pansy says, "You'll have to reset it now, I did mine this morning."
"Oh, okay. Thanks." I proceed to turn, facing my roof and tell the alarm not to go off tomorrow.
"Sure thing, Louise, enjoy your night!" It replies, I glare up at the ceiling as the other girls snigger.
"You chose the happy wake up?" Pansy gasps, I nod, not understanding their mirth.
"You didn't have one of these at home, did you?" Daphne shakes her head, shoulders shaking as she struggles to hold in more laughter.
"No, why?" I whine, getting frustrated.
"The spell for the perky alarm has some…" Pansy trails off, waving her arms around before shrugging her shoulders. Tracy takes her up.
"It has some glitches." She tells me plainly.
"What kind of glitches? How can a spell have glitches?"
"It develops a personality of its own." Tracy answers, looking nervously at my bed.
"What? Like an AI?"
"What's an AI?" Millicent asks, I roll my eyes and tell them to continue with my alarm clock.
"I heard one once actually developed a body of its own!" Pansy informs me.
"A spell?" I ask, "A spell develops a conscience and a body of its own. You're telling high tales." Firmly believing I have caught them out, I shake my head in mock disappointment and decide to sleep, it has been a long day.
From the shuffling behind me, I take a guess the others have followed my example and settled down to sleep for the night.
"Louise! I know you said not to get you up this early, but I was already awake!" I groan and lift my head from the pillow, looking around for the source of the noise. "Louise?" It asks, instead of answering, I pull the covers up to my shoulders and glare around me. "Are you okay?"
"What time is it?" I growl out, the voice pauses for a minute, seemingly contemplating.
"Five Forty-five in the morning." It finally replies perkily.
"And why," I grit out, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath, "Am I currently awake on a Saturday morning?"
"Because I was bored?" The voice replies, I growl in response, deciding to get out of bed and take a nice long bath to compensate for being woken up as early.
Never ending Lavender bubbles set up the scene nicely as I discard my Jammies and settle down in the bath, sighing as the heat reaches into all my tense muscles, the lavender scent filling my nostrils, calming me down as my brain catches up.
My alarm clock woke me up.
Because she was Bored.
Sighing, I clench my nose and dip under the water, holding my breath for as long as I can before resurfacing and lying back, closing my eyes. That stupid alarm clock can't wake me up here.
Sometime later – I must have dozed off, Millicent is banging and screaming at the door for me to get out.
"I'm busy." I answer, opening my eyes to the light and glaring over to the door.
"How are you up before me again!?" She complains, thumping hard on the door, giving the direction of the thump, I guess it's a kick this time.
"Alarm clock has a sense of humour." I answer with, standing up and shivering in the sudden cold air. Reaching over with prune like fingers, I grab a towel and wrap it around my prune like body.
Stepping out, Millicent barges past me with a glare, her dark brown hair in knots around her chubby face. I raise an eyebrow but she closes the door before she had the chance to see and comment.
Turning back into the room, I notice the other girls are already up and sitting around the door, awaiting Millicent and I finishing. I drop back under my closed curtains and get changed into a comfortable pair of jeans and a blue top. Propping my glasses back on my face, I open up my curtains, ready to face the day at last.
Once Millicent is also ready, we head out of the dorm as a group, the second years on the stairs right in front of us and out of the hall.
Sitting down for breakfast, wedged between Tracy and Millicent, I opt for a bowl of Coco Pops and some nice cold milk today.
"So," Millicent begins, over a chocolate toast slice, "How was your sleep?" She's looking right at me as she takes another bite from her toast, I glare back at her, slowly swallowing my mouthful as the others are watching me expectantly.
"The bloody alarm clock woke me up at six," I grumble, taking another bite, my last bite, before they can get me to continue. At the entrance hall, I notice Draco Malfoy coming in, a red faced Ron Weasely directly behind him, and take an easy guess I had just missed a confrontation.
Draco walks up to the table, Crabbe and Goyle right behind him, and take the seats next to Daphne and Pansy on the other side from Tracy and me.
"Red haired eejit get your boxers in a twist?" I ask, smirking as Draco glowers at the food around him, "you know the food for eating, not practicing your death glare, right?" I add, smiling sweetly as said death glare is turned to me.
"That blood traitor believes he's better for Potter than I am." Draco snarls, unfortunately ignoring my jab at him, I had been looking forward to a confrontation with him… maybe next time.
"I don't think either of you are good for him. I honestly think Longbottom would do better than you two."
"What!?" Draco asks incredulously. "That squib would be a better friend to Potter than me?"
"The two of you are arrogant, prejudiced pricks. And I don't believe the Boy-Who-Lived should be friends with anyone like that, case closed." I say, tipping my bowl to my mouth, gulping down the rest of my cereal and leaving the table, heading straight to the Gryffindor's where I can see Steph chatting amiably with Parvati and Lavender.
"Hey Louise," Steph calls out as she sees me approaching, waving a goodbye to the other two girls and getting up to join me.
"Hey, Steph, good night?"
"Yeah, it was great, we stayed up and just talked till about three in the morning, and then we went to bed. Hermione is still there, apparently she isn't a morning person. She asked us to bring something up for her later.
"How about we go see the grounds today?" I venture, "I fancy some fresh air."
"That sounds great!" Steph agrees, we quickly round up the 'Claw's and 'puffs and head out side, choosing a seat down by the lake to sit and talk.
Soon after, Gregor and I enter a disagreement which leads to a small fight.
A fight which, hear, can involve magic.
In my defence, however, he started it by trying to disarm me. I just returned the favour and maybe or maybe didn't turn it into an outright dual… quickly getting Katherine, Steph and Hannah involved.

Andrew Vachss returns with a mesmerizing novel about a hard-core thief who's about to embark on a job that will alter his life forever.
Sugar is that rarest of commodities: an old-school professional thief, as tough and loyal as a pit bull, packing 255 pounds of muscle. When he's picked out of a photo array in a vicious rape case, the cops find his apartment empty. A stakeout catches Sugar when he returns . . . carrying a loaded pistol. The sex-crime cops get nothing from their interrogation, but a streetwise detective figures out why Sugar offers no alibi: at the time of the rape, a holiday-weekend break-in job was being pulled at a jewelry store. The DA offers Sugar two options: give up his partners in the jewelry heist and walk, or plead to the rape he didn't commit—and he'll toss in the gun charge. For Sugar, that's not two options; he takes the weight.
When Sugar finishes his time, his money is waiting for him, held by Solly, the mastermind behind the jewelry heist. But Solly tells Sugar that one of the heist crew was actually sent by another planner—and that planner has just died. In Sugar's world, all loose threads must be cut. He suspects that there's more to this job than what Solly is telling him. But nothing he suspects or imagines can prepare him for what he finds . . .
Editorial Reviews
A criminal who's spent five years in prison for a crime he didn't commit finds that life on the outside is just as violent and unfair.
Timothy (Sugar) Caine is a pro's pro, a methodical thief built like a stone wall who's forsworn violence on the job. Even though a rape victim has picked his mug shot from a photo array, there's no way he could be her assailant. Sugar knows it; the cops know it; even the victim would probably know it if she took a good close look at his mismatched eyes. But when the NYPD detectives who found him packing heat ask for his alibi, he clams up for the best reason in the world—he doesn't want to confirm their assumption that he was part of a crew that was robbing a jewelry store instead. Unwilling to give up his confederates—Solomon Vizner, who set up the job; Big Matt, the engineer; and Abner Jessop, the newbie Solly's old friend Albie had vouched for—Sugar elects to take the weight for the rape instead. Five uncomplaining years later, he emerges from prison expecting a warm welcome and a big payoff from Solly. He gets the first, but in lieu of the second, Solly sics him on Jessop, who's taken off for the Sunshine State, where Solly also hopes to recover a little blue book Albie left behind when he departed to join the heavenly choir. Under the Florida sun, Sugar tracks Jessop with the help of Albie's girlfriend Rena Rosenberg, but not before he and Rena have formed a uniquely salt-and-pepper relationship that begins in mutual wariness and moves through mutual back-scratching to sexual congress to something altogether richer and more unexpected. The ensuing chain of bait-and-switch seems to have been plotted by someone with a truly fiendish interest in frustrating his hero.
Even in the absence of his signature tough-guy hero Burke, Vachss (Haiku, 2009, etc.) is just as macho, jaundiced and relentlessly didactic about what a hard, hard world it is.
"Sugar and Rena are a canny, lethal team that bears watching in the hopes they become future players in Vachss's ever-growing arsenal of tarnished, avenging angels." —Los Angeles Times
"Rippling with the whip-smart dialogue we have come to expect from Vachss, this is yet another classic from the master." —Irish Independent
"The prose is red-hot, mean, stripped down, and sometimes, just plain serious." —San Francisco Book Review
"Few plumb the . . . integrity of the 'honorable' criminal mind like Vachss. [These] brutal insights provide only the lexicon for what is really a battered and bruised romance—a salvation . . . for those who shoulder life's true weight."—Winnipeg Free Press
"Damn scary. Vachss' fans will not be disappointed." —Booklist
"[Vachss writes] some of the cleanest, meanest, stripped-down-and-sparkling prose ever penned." —The Austin Chronicle

Read an Excerpt
Whatever it was the cops had snatched me up for, they had to believe I was good for it. But not all that good. Otherwise, why go tag-team on me?
One of the cops on the second shift was an older guy. He looked the way some people say all cops used to: tall, big hands, straw-colored hair. Back then, they'd say, cops would catch a kid doing something wrong, they'd kick him in the ass, send him home, and go back to walking their beat. They never paid for a meal, but nobody thought that was graft. Some might even take money from bookies or whorehouses. But never from a dope dealer.
Maybe cops were really like that once. I don't know; I wasn't around then. I only know how they are now.
I'll say this for the older cop: He dressed like a guy who lived on his paycheck. And he wasn't there to dance. He walked in with his partner, sat down, and threw his Sunday punch: "This one just doesn't look like your line of work, Sugar."
That told me he was sharp enough to do more than just check me for priors. Not by calling me "Sugar." The first pair, they'd called me that, too. Sliding it out of their mouths like they knew something dirty about me. This cop, he just said it like it was my name.
The first two cops, I think all they did was scan my record for a "Registered Sex Offender" ticket. When they didn't see one, they were out of gas; it's the only card they know how to play.
The older cop shook his head, like he was confused about what they'd arrested me for.
"I got to say, I don't like you for this one at all."
"Then what am I here for?" I asked him.
He made his eyes go sad, showing he was disappointed in me. It was a good trick. A guy who's been around as long as him, he probably knew a lot of them.
We'd already been sitting in the interrogation room for a couple of hours when he did that. Maybe it was part of his act, I don't know. But it was as clear as if somebody wrote the rules on the wall for us all to see: As long as I didn't say the magic words, we were going to play it like men. No disrespect, not in either direction.
Those magic words could only come out of my mouth. Door Number One: "I want a lawyer." Door Number Two: "Yeah, you got me."
I tell them I want a lawyer, they'd give me a look like I'd just screwed myself, cuff me back up, and have one of the bluecoats walk me into a holding cell.
But if I started talking, they'd hold off until they squeezed as much juice out of the lemon as they could. Say I told them I wanted a deal. They'd tell me that I could get damn near whatever I wanted . . . depending on what I had to trade.
The way they were working me, walking so soft, that was just to stop me from asking for a lawyer. Good cops—I don't mean like they were good guys, just good at their job—they think the same way we do. They know if you get all impatient you can mess everything up.
So they stayed decent and respectful, like I said. Not kissing my ass or anything; making it just three men, talking. The way they'd figure it, so long as they could keep me talking, talking about anything, there was always the chance I'd take Door Number Two. Or stumble through it.
They had to know it was a-thousand-to-one against them getting me to confess. And I knew it was even worse odds against me convincing them they'd grabbed the wrong guy.
A weak hand, sure. Who hits a gutshot straight-flush draw? But I wasn't drawing dead, not yet.
We each had our reasons for staying with it. They had all the time in the world. And that's how much time I was looking at.
So I had to stay to see the last card drop. Because, no matter what those sex-crimes clowns had told me, I knew this couldn't really be about a rape.
The rape they kept asking me about, it must have been a bad one. For the cops, the worst one would be if it happened to some kind of famous person. I hadn't seen a paper for days, but I knew they'd been sitting on my place, waiting for me to come back. At least six of them, round the clock. That's a lot of cops.
I didn't know how long they'd been waiting, but they couldn't have started until after I left, and that was only a few days ago.
Sending the sex-crimes cops in first, that didn't mean anything—it could just be a hype to get me to take my eye off the ball. Misdirection, like three-card monte. They pull you in for something big, get you so scared of that charge that you drop your guard and give up something about whatever they're really after you for.
I knew they hadn't bagged any of the others. If they had, they'd drop their names, so I'd know they weren't just blowing smoke. Then they'd have their magic words. Door One: one of the other guys had turned canary, put all the weight on me, trying to cut himself a deal. Door Two: here was my chance to help myself before it was too late.
Only the second pair of cops would try a move like that. The first two, the sex-crimes boys, they mostly made speeches. Or asked me stupid questions, like a TV camera was filming them. Big guy like me, all those muscles—what happened? I'd been on steroids so long I couldn't get it up, and she'd laughed at me? I hadn't meant to hurt her, just slap her around a little, maybe? Come on, isn't that how it went down?
I yawned in their faces.
"Got nothing to say now, huh?" one of them had said. Like he'd just nailed me to the cross.
I wanted to ask him if that pathetic crap ever worked. What kind of chumps show you their hand first and then try to bluff you off a better one?
But I didn't say anything. I'm a professional, not a punk with a pistol. You'll never see my picture on a security camera sticking up a bodega. Or jacking some guy in a suit while he's standing at an ATM.
I'm a thief, and I do clean work. I don't hurt people for money, I don't set fires, I don't do any of those sicko sex things. Stuff like that, it gets spread all over: the papers, radio, TV. Gets everybody paying attention. Specially when there's big reward money out there.
A man who does my kind of work, the only way he ever gets caught is if he goes in without a plan. Or if someone rolls over on him.
You never talk about your work, period. Too many guys walking around with heavy charges hanging over them. Anyone gets caught holding K-weight powder in this state, it's the same as a murder beef. A street cop catches a guy holding that heavy, he can make the bust, but all that'd get him is another one of those "commendations" every cop has a couple dozen of. What he really wants is that gold shield, so he'd rather have that guy on the street, working for him. Any outlaw is going to be able to go places no undercover ever could. So all he has to do is listen long enough.
Guys like that, they're all nothing but rats on leashes. If it wasn't for informants, the cops would have to get damn lucky to ever make a case against a pro.
They'll pretty much always get the amateurs—the clowns who leave a trail you could follow even with one of those white canes tapping the way.
The amateurs who stay out the longest are the ones who kill for fun. A random kill doesn't even look like what it really is until the bodies pile up.
There's also people who get off on being a rat. Nothing in it for them; they like doing that kind of stuff.
So it's just as hard for people on my side of the law to sniff them out as it is for the law to sniff out a guy who does freakish stuff.
There's even people stupid enough to rat on themselves. A pro can be smart about work and dumb about other things. Say you talk about your work to your girlfriend: all it takes is for her to get mad at you one time to put a whole crew under the jail.
A few years ago, that happened to a guy I'd worked some jobs with. He was real good-looking. Smooth talker, too. Always found some girl to pick up his tabs—I don't think he ever paid rent in his life. This guy, he'd never talk about our kind of work, but any woman he ever stayed with, she'd have to know he wasn't any W-2 man. Probably helped them get over the nights he didn't come home. And explained the flashy way he always dressed, too. Whatever, they were always happy to help out with some cash while he was waiting on this big score he had coming.
Only this last one, she couldn't leave it that way. She just had to satisfy herself he wasn't spending her money on some other girl.
A lot of them do it now. They call it "playing detective." You know what I mean: they buy their boyfriend a cell phone and pay the bill themselves. The mark thinks he's playing her, but the person who pays the bill gets the bill. Which means she gets a lot of phone numbers.
So, anyway, the girlfriend, she finds a number she doesn't recognize, dials it while the guy's sleeping. Wakes him up and goes off on him. She's taking care of him, and he fucking cheats on her!?
He should've just promised her he was done with that other girl. Better yet, just walked away and not come back.
But, no, he has to be a big man. Throws a fistful of hundreds on the floor, tells her, "Here, bitch. Go pay your little cell-phone bill."
All their time together, she thought he was her kept boy, so seeing all that money sends her over the edge. A few minutes earlier, she was screaming at him to get out. Now she's standing in front of the door. She's got more to say, and he's going to listen to it or . . .
He should have let her scream herself dry. But, the kind of fool he is, he's got to play his role, just like he did flashing the money. Ends up banging her around pretty hard.
He's not even a few blocks away when she goes 911 on him.
They pick him up right on the street. Once they tell him what he's being pinched for, he doesn't say a word.
This guy figures, they arraign him in the morning, he takes whatever they're offering. What's he looking at . . . thirty days and some anger-management class?
But he's only in a few hours when the girlfriend waltzes in and tells the cops she's decided not to press charges. Stupid broad, she thought it was her case. When they tell her it's not up to her, she loses it again. By the time she's done running her mouth, they've got enough probable cause to take her home and have a look around. That was all it took.
I'll say this for that guy: maybe he played big-shot, but he paid for doing it, and he didn't ask anyone he ever worked with to split the tab.

I'm sorry to say that this book was a huge disappointment. I've read several other Vachss' books and this one just did not measure up at all. The characters were boring and the story line was unimaginative. I found myself becoming very confused with the dialogue throughout most parts of the book; wondering who was speaking and what the heck it was they were actually trying to say. Throughout the entire book I kept waiting for something exciting to happen....and it never did. The plot is lifeless and the ending is predictable, not like a Vachss book at all.
Anyone who has read Andrew Vachss knows he's the best at "tough." This also shows he has a knack for romance. It's the story of two people thrown together under difficult circumstances--and that's as much as you need to know without spoiling anything.

Bottleneck of One Kilometer at the Wine-Factory in Vachnadzeani
A queue of one kilometer is now standing backed up in the village of Vachnadzeani in the Gurjaani district. Locals informed Radio Hereti about the current situation they face in delivering their grape harvest.
The locals state that peasants are waiting in the queues for several hours to deliver their grape to the receiving factory.
"Yesterday, I took grapes to Velistsikhe wine-factory and it was locked. Now I came here and there are huge queues here. Prices are ridiculously low too. We will not be able to cover our production expenses that were spent for the crop during the whole year," said Eiran Kumsiashvili, a resident of the village of Bakurtsikhe.
Radio Hereti got in touch with the coordination HQ "Vintage 2008". The representatives of the HQ explained the reasons for long queues.
"Previously there were nine factories that received the grape now we have two more; tomorrow one more factory will start receiving this year's harvest in Tsnori. As for queues, it is only natural and the increased number of factories will overcome the situation," said Kote Khutsaidze, a member of the coordination HQ.

Plugin: BackWPup
BackWPup is the second WordPress backup plugin that I have featured in my Plugins list. I have now moved over to using this to satisfy my backup needs, as it provides some extra functionality over WP-DB-Backup.
What can it do?
BackWPup provides an automated backup solution for your WordPress Blog, it can back up three different aspects of your site:
- A WordPress XML Export that can be re-imported natively to another WordPress blog, this includes all your posts, pages, comments along with references to where your media content was stored. It doesn't contain your plugins or their settings.
- A WordPress Database Backup, this is a full backup of every setting and entry in your WordPress blog. Each post and page is contained within the backup, with the exclusion of your media (pictures etc). The advantage to this type of backup is that it is small and fast. You can schedule a Database backup to run every few hours without any real impact on your site.
- A full file structure backup, this includes all of your WordPress files and plugins. This is the only backup that also backs up your media. It is however a more time intensive action and one that consumes more disk space. It is however a necessary task to ensure the security of your blog.
BackWPup has a suite of features that sets it apart from the rest of the WordPress Backup Plugins, it allows you to export the backup to a number of Cloud Based solutions. So rather than having to manually download your backups, or pick them up from an email account, you can have them sent straight to Dropbox or Amazon or one of several other services. The services that BackWPup can currently access are Dropbox, Amazon S3, Azure, Rackspace, SugerSync aswell as FTP, email and local folders. BackWPup is also capable of compressing your backups into various types of file, although you will most likely prefer to choose a ZIP file (as this is universally compatible, and offers a good level of compression).
How should I use it?
I would recommend setting BackWPup to take a backup of your database four times a day (such as 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00), and setting it to create a full file backup once a day during your sites quite time (such as midnight). Personally I like to use Dropbox to store my backups as it ensures that they are synchronised to my laptop when I turn it on each morning. You can sign up for a Dropbox account here.
You can set up multiple 'jobs' and 'schedules' to tailor your backup to your needs, the schedules will be run using the WP Scheduling Agent (WP-Cron). You may wish to read my article regarding WP-Cron and the ways in which you can minimise its impact on your blog (in fact I recommend you do!).
Where can I get it from?
The best and simplist way to install any plugin is via your "Plugins" page on your blog control panel, just search for 'BackWPup'. Otherwise you can download it from the WordPress plugin archive here.

Thousands of student nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals have marched on the streets of London, Manchester, and Newcastle to highlight how they will be paying off their student loans almost until the day they retire following government plans to axe NHS bursaries.
Spearheaded by the student nurses of King's College London - with similar marches having taken place in Nottingham and Middlesbrough on the same day - the university's students' union (KCLSU) described how the new move means healthcare students could face over £50,000 debt for a three-year long degree course.
Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, Natalie Bennett, was one of the many demonstrators to have voiced their support for health workers at the London event which took place at St Thomas' Hospital on Saturday.

Speaking at the march, she said "the Government has hit a new low" after chancellor George Osborne announced the changes as part of the Spending Review in November. Bennett added: "They are going to make student nurses pay to work for the NHS. This really is a new low in austerity."

— Green Party (@TheGreenParty) January 9, 2016
The protest in the capital began outside St Thomas' Hospital at noon, then continued down York Road to Waterloo Bridge, across the Strand and down Whitehall. It finished outside Downing Street where a number of speeches took place from speakers including the Green Party leader, shadow health secretary Heidi Alexander MP, student nurses, and Unison's head of nursing Gail Adams.
Speaking to the large crowd at Downing Street, the Royal College of Nursing's (RCN) chief executive and general secretary, Janet Davies, described how RCN students have shown "just how worried they are" about the move and its potential effects.
She added: "Student nurses and midwives are the profession's future, and their voices and concerns must and should be listened to.
"Over our 100-year history, the RCN has a long track record in the education of nurses and the Government should listen to our knowledge and expertise. The future of nursing must be protected. Our patients deserve nothing less."
Unison's general secretary, Dave Prentis, described it as "wrong" to replace bursaries with loans and "force fees" on students, many of whom, he said, are likely to be put off careers in nursing for fear of graduating with "such huge debts".
He highlighted the chancellor's proposals as being "ill-thought out," and said: "It's madness when the health service is already struggling to fill so many vacancies. This is a political decision motivated by short-term financial savings and will do nothing to solve the country's nursing shortage.
"Many people will be forced to take second and third jobs, compromising their studies and health. Or they'll be priced out of a career in nursing completely, especially if their parents don't have the cash to subsidise them. The losers will be the NHS and patients."
Following on from the protest, a debate will be taking place in Parliament on Monday over the plans - which are expected to come into effect in 2017 - after an online petition gathered just over 154,300 signatures.
In response to the petition, the Government insisted it needs to move new students from grants and bursaries onto the standard student loans system from 1 August 2017 to be able to deliver more nurses, midwives and allied health professionals for the NHS, a better funding system for health students, and a sustainable model for universities.
The response added: "We expect this to enable up to 10,000 additional training places over this parliament. Rather than denying thousands of UK applicants a place to study the subjects at university, we will be boosting participation and securing the future supply of these professions to the NHS. This will mean more applicants will get the chance to become a health professional."

how do you replace the wheel bearing on the rear of a 2007 pacifica touring model?
how to change the rear wheel bearing on a pacifica touring on 2007 Chrysler Pacifica
(1) Answer
| |
My labor guide says it's a .8 hour labor operation to replace so it must be relatively straight forward and I don't see any notation for the need of any special tools but you need illustrations and torque specifications. Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info. There is also a company that independent auto repair shops buy their information from that the same information inexpensively to do it yourselfers. The information is year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
