Having problems with your Canon PowerShot A530 Digital Camera ?
Not capturing pictures
\015 My Canon PowerShot A530 no longer captures pictures. I know the LCD still works because the "Canon" logo shows up when I turn it on and I can view old pictures I've taken, but now I press the shutter, the flash goes off, but the LCD just remains black.I've tried pressing the display button and it does go through the different modes (standard, detailed, off), but still will not capture any picture. In both the standard and detailed modes, there is no image in the LCD (it is just black).\015
Answers :
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). \015\012To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help:\015\012

Saving Lives Through Blood Donation
How Blood Donation Works
The Blood Donor Center is located in the Holy Spirit Camp Hill Center at 875 Poplar Church Road, Camp Hill. Geisinger Holy Spirit is a member of the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank.
In addition to accepting volunteer blood donations to keep the area's blood supply well-stocked, the Blood Donor Center offers two special programs for blood donors: autologous and directed donor programs. A physician must authorize both types of donations.
Autologous donation is when a patient serves as his or her own donor and pre-deposits his or her blood for scheduled surgery needs. Patients can have blood withdrawn and stored for up to three weeks before surgery. Up to three pints may be stored for this anticipated use. The last donation must be made no later than 72 hours before surgery.
Directed donation is when a friend or relative donates blood specifically for a certain patient scheduled for elective surgery (this is not available in emergency situations). The physician and the patient must consent to this program.
We also offer therapeutic phlebotomy when deemed necessary by a physician. A doctor's order is required for this procedure.
Donor Room Hours
All blood donors must call the Blood Donor Center at 717-975-3250 to schedule an appointment. Get hours and directions.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by sportsman, Nov 5, 2006.
which seemed unthinkable at the beginning of the season.
2 more games to make it up, we split w/ our division opponents, and we should be fine
the skins are all but out IMO, plus we have a common opponent edge on them, us beating the Titans who beat the Skins, the Skins have to lose to more NFC opponents 1st than us for that to come into play, but still
We must beat the Gmen in NJ and the Eagles in Dallas to even it up. I think we can do it.

Program: M.S., Engineering Management
Taught by faculty with professional engineering management experience, the Engineering Management program offers engineers and other technical professionals the opportunity to develop technical management and entrepreneurial skills pertinent to the management of existing and emerging technologies. The program stresses the development of technological decision-making as well as entrepreneurial abilities, while also enabling continued intellectual growth in an area that meets professional needs. Engineering Management program graduates have been assuming leadership roles in industry since the early 1970s.

A. Requirements for Admission to the Program
- Satisfaction of all requirements for Graduate Admission to the University.
- Approval by the department graduate coordinator/program academic lead.
- For admission, a Bachelor of Science degree in an undergraduate engineering program with a 3.0 or higher overall grade point average is required. Applicants with an overall grade point average between 2.75 and 3.0 may be admitted if their grade point average in the last 60 units is at or above 3.0. Qualified applicants without a baccalaureate degree in an engineering field will be considered for admission on a case by case basis. Additional preparatory course work should be anticipated.
- This admission requirement applies to applicants whose undergraduate (or other) institution does not report course grades in a letter format corresponding to a four point numerical scale (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0) equivalent to the grading system used at CSUN. Those individuals are required to submit the results of a third party official transcript evaluation as the report of their official transcript.

Visit the NACES home page to obtain a listing of member evaluation services. An example of an acceptable service would be World Education Services (WES) ICAP report, which includes course-by-course evaluations.
- All three sections of the GRE have to be completed and the applicant's score in both the quantitative section and the analytical writing section must be above the 50th percentile.
- Foreign students must submit a minimum TOEFL score of 80 in the internet-based test (iBT) to demonstrate their proficiency in the English language.
- The department may request additional supporting materials to assess an applicant's preparation and likelihood for academic success. In addition, the department and the graduate admission committee reserve the right to reject any application.
B. Requirements for Advancement to Classified Status
- Satisfaction of University requirements for classified status.
- Approval of a program of study plan by an assigned faculty advisor.
- Approval by the department graduate coordinator/program academic lead.
C. Special Requirements
- This program is intended primarily for students holding a B.S. in Engineering or other technical field.

McKenzie claimed the £3million fee was only agreed after it became clear Robinson wanted to quit Leeds.
But Robinson said: "He is just trying to make himself look popular at my expense. I feel disgusted by the way he is treating me and trying to turn supporters against me. I feel used."
Robinson, 23, is also furious at McKenzie's claims that the keeper wanted to move because Leeds refused to give him a new contract.
He claims former Elland Road chairman Peter Ridsdale told him three months ago he wanted to offer him an improved contract.
He said: "Peter Ridsdale contacted my agents just before he left the club suggesting I should be signing a longer, improved contract which I was more than happy to do.
"After Prof McKenzie took over, my agents simply asked if that offer was still in place and were told it was not.
"So suggestions that I demanded a new contract are totally untrue."

The first time I met Gordon Brown, at a briefing for local newspapers, he gleefully handed round a bundle of leaked government papers revealing plans to cut its spending in the regions. It was the mid-1980s, and he was shadow trade and industry secretary.
Ten years later, I was summoned to Mr Brown's Commons office late one Friday to receive a bumper crop of leaked Treasury documents suggesting the Chancellor, Kenneth Clarke, withheld from MPs crucial information about the impact of the European single currency. The resulting Sunday Times splash forced a steaming Mr Clarke to make an emergency Commons statement the following day and disrupted his preparations for his Budget the day after.
In opposition, Mr Brown was a regular recipient of leaked documents, which he deployed with devastating effect against the Tories. Now the boot is on the other foot.
Yesterday, Mr Brown was on the defensive over leaks, and the astonishing arrest of Damian Green, the Tory spokesman on immigration, who was quizzed by the Special Branch officers for nine hours on Thursday after the Home Office identified a mole following a spate of leaks.
Brown aides say he was "open-mouthed" when told about the police's action, and are adamant no minister authorised it. But given that Mr Brown probably received more civil service leaks than anyone else while the Tories were in power, there is more than a little irony in him being embarrassed by an official leak inquiry by his own government.
The Home Office says it had to investigate leaks of "sensitive information" which prevented it from operating properly. Yet it seems the material was politically sensitive for ministers, rather than any threat to national security.
The Metropolitan Police has done the Government no favours. It is unprecedented for an MP to be arrested for doing his job, and raises profound issues about the role and powers of Parliament. Imagine the outcry if a 34-year-old rising star called Gordon Brown had been banged up for receiving those documents about spending cuts.
It wasn't the first headache Mr Brown had over leaks this week. He is said to be "furious" that two key elements of Monday's pre-Budget report (PBR) were leaked in advance, the temporary cut in VAT and the landmark increase in the top tax rate to 45p in the pound in 2011. Some ministers are convinced a Treasury mole exists, and that the shadow Chancellor, George Osborne, announced plans to cut inheritance tax last year because he knew the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, was about to do the same in his PBR. When he did, it looked like a desperate attempt to copy the Tories.
Like Mr Clarke in 1996, Mr Darling found his strategy for his big day derailed by leaks. Although Labour often trails announcements in advance, he and Mr Brown apparently wanted all the PBR details held back until Monday. Their two-pronged strategy was: convince the markets the Government would balance the books in the medium term to prevent a further run on the pound and to convince the public the pain would be shared fairly. That's why they opted for a top-rate tax rise, rather than an eventual rise in VAT to 20 per cent or a 1 per cent increase in national insurance contributions (instead of the .5 per cent announced). They hoped the pre-Christmas VAT cut and the top-rate rise would both be popular, so the public would buy the package as a whole.
Mr Brown certainly didn't intend to provoke the obituaries for New Labour that followed the U-turn on tax. Although left-of-centre MPs have a spring in their step, they are being premature in dancing on New Labour's grave. Lord Mandelson discussed the 45p rate with Mr Brown and Mr Darling in advance and gave it his seal of approval. The Secretary of State for Business did not rejoin the cabinet to kill New Labour; he came back to save it from a catastrophic general election defeat after which the party would veer left.
Mr Brown and his ministers insist that a tax rate is not totem, and the basic tenets of New Labour are intact, including a commitment to market-based public service reforms; a close relationship with business and labour market reforms. But some Blairite MPs fear the top rate decision is a huge gamble. As one put it: "The danger is that the public don't see the PBR as a set of emergency measures but think high tax and spending is in Labour's DNA and that we've reverted to type."

Aston Villa 0 Burnley 1
Burnley signed off the Premier League season with an impressive away victory over FA Cup finalists Aston Villa.
Danny Ings scored an early winner – his 11th goal of the campaign – as the Clarets dropped down to the Championship in style at a packed Villa Park.
At the other end, an inspired Tom Heaton, who became the first Burnley player to receive a senior England call-up since 1974 earlier in the week, was in stunning form and kept a third consecutive clean sheet.
Fredrik Ulvestad was handed his full debut for Burnley, as he replaced Matt Taylor in one of two changes for the Clarets.
Michael Keane was given the nod ahead of Michael Duff at centre back.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood named nearly a full-strength side ahead of next week's FA Cup final against Arsenal.
Burnley had the first effort on goal when Kieran Trippier's long-range free-kick was comfortably held by Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer.
But the Clarets went in front on seven minutes.
After an initial ball into the box was only half-cleared by the Villa backline, Ulvestad kept it alive by heading it back into the danger area to find Ashley Barnes at the far post.
The striker then headed the ball across the face of goal for Ings, who rose highest and directed a looping header right into the far corner of the net.
The Villans needed just over a quarter of an hour to create their first opening, but when the ball broke into the path of Ron Vlaar inside the penalty area from Baker's knock down, the
Dutchman could only half-volley it wide of the upright.
Burnley kept passing the ball sharply and posed a threat in behind Villa's back four.
And the Clarets could have doubled their lead midway through the first half.
George Boyd twisted and turned Nathan Baker before crossing the ball into the far post where Ings, leaning back, could only side foot the ball over the crossbar.
Shortly past the half-hour mark, Sean Dyche was forced to make his first substitution with Sam Vokes coming on for Barnes, who limped off injured after an aerial challenge with Fabian Delph.
Moments later, Christian Benteke managed to control the ball on his chest inside the box before seeing his shot deflected behind for a corner.
The Belgian international then forced a routine stop from Heaton with a far-post header, as the Villans stepped their search for an equaliser.
And Heaton was once again called into action when he produced a stunning, fingertip save to keep out a well-struck volley from Ashley Westwood on the stroke of half-time.
After the break, it was Villa who looked to up the tempo, but it wasn't until the 63rd minute when they finally carved out another opening.
Following good work by Benteke, Gabriel Agbonlahor couldn't find a way past Heaton, who saved his shot with his leg.
In response, Ings slipped Boyd through into the penalty area, only for Steer to race off his line quickly to deny the winger, who had tried to lift the ball over him.
At the other end, Heaton was kept busy when he first pushed away a powerful, long-range strike from Delph before turning Charles N'Zogbia's first-time effort behind for a corner.
Late on, Ings received a standing ovation from the travelling Claret support when he made way for Steven Reid, who himself making the final appearance of his career.
And Burnley held on to their first win at Villa Park since January 1973 while also setting up Premier League club records for number of points (33) in a single campaign.

We were sitting in the 5th row, witnessing these beautiful smiles!
***A word of warning – I'm writing this and the pre-show awards have started. I want to tune in online http://www.grammy.com/live to see Adam's category being awarded. This will probably run long as I want to get it posted ASAP, and won't have a chance to edit my long-winded diatribe. Now you know why I don't tweet much – haven't learned about the Tweet-longer app!
By some miracle, my network of Adam Lambert friends pulled another winner and found general admission tickets for us to attend the yearly Grammy Rock Star Summit on Social Media held at LA Live on February 11, 2011, with Adam Lambert on the panel of five. (I could have applied for Media Admission because of this site, but I didn't know if it would fly!) I know many of you watched it through the live feed, because I got texts from you while it was happening. I'm including the links for you to watch the entire summit in this post, thanks to the dedicated suz526. But I thought you may be interested in everything else that went on, that wasn't part of the official summit!
Our group from San Diego included site administrator Lila Hayes – via San Bernardino to take her children to Grandma's because there was no school that day, myself and our new friend Lisa Schenck. Our other group member was Glenda Spence, coming in from Indio who picked Lila up in Riverside, close to her mom's house. Man, we coordinated that well!
Everything happens at LA Live – you've got the 8,000 seat Nokia Theater where American Idol Finales are held, and Club Nokia, where Adam performed his Glam Nation Finale to 2,300. It also has many meeting rooms, like the Conga Room where the Summit met, in addition to the Grammy Museum and several upscale social restaurants like Wolfgang Puck's and the new LA Market. There's even Lucky Strike, an upscale bowling alley/nightspot that has great casual food. Across the street is Staples Center, and the LA Convention Center is on the corner.
If you know downtown Los Angeles and especially around the LA Live area, then you know it's expensive to park there. The Marriott right across the street is $37 a day for guests. The official lot is about $25 for the day and the area is surrounded by independent parking lots that charge anywhere from $5 to $20 for the day, depending on how close you are to LA Live. But when an event is happening, all the lots are $20. By a stroke of luck not aided by the use of cell phones or texting, both cars arrived within 2 minutes of each other and parked in the same lot across from Staples. They didn't consider the Summit a big enough event, so we only paid $5 for the day. From that moment, we knew the day was going to be magical!
As the four of us approached the Conga Room around noon, we saw there were about 10 people there already. Some had been there since 9 AM. We immediately recognized several as part of our extended group, like the ones many of you have formed from meeting internet friends and spening hours in line with while waiting for Adam's concerts. We were told admission would be at 1:30, so some went to eat, while the others held our spot. We returned just before 1:30 PM, and I was surprised there were only about 30 more people, about 50 in total. All in this line were the general admission/Adam fans. All the media were in front of us in a separate line. We were admitted, received our lanyards with our registered name cards, and walked upstairs to the staged area. Sponsors of the event included Turbo Tax, Jawbone, case-mate and Absolut Vodka. The stage had 6 empty chairs in a slight arc formation, backed by poster cards with the Grammy's Music Is Life Is Music phrase. On these posters we recognized Katy Perry, Justin Bieber and Cee Lo Green.
Carol & Lila in front of the stage
Soon, music journalist John Norris, formerly of MTV came out and introduced the panel. In order of introduction were Foursquare co-founder Naveen Selvadurai, Facebook director of platform product marketing Ethan Beard, Pandora founder/chief strategy officer Tim Westergren, rapper Chamillionaire and superstar singer, social media-user Adam Lambert. The audience had about 250 people, half of whom were media and the other half obviously Adam's fans. I suppose there may have been Chamillionaire fans there too, but if so, they were silent! I really hoped that Adam's fans would be respectful to the Summit and not make it an Adam-event. Yes, the applause for Adam was greater, but that was to be expected. There was a board to the right of the stage receiving tweets, and it was obvious from all the Adam-comments who was tweeting! It bothered us when so many of the comments were mentioning how bored they were waiting for Adam, even while the others were being introduced. How rude! But Lila and I did laugh when someone tweeted that the moderator looked like Kevin Bacon. He did! Other than that, everyone behaved well and we were on our way.
When John Norris announced the agenda of the summit, he mentioned audience questions would be after twitter and facebook questions. I didn't think I'd really have anything tech-y enough to contribute and didn't want to embarrass myself. And no, I wasn't going to be a fan-girl and ask an Adam Lambert question! But during the introduction, it occurred to me that the panel was completely male, and a question about social media usage between males and females popped into my head. When they started the twitter and facebook questions, I stood and made my way to the microphone. I was the first one there. Luckily, they didn't start the audience questions for about 10 minutes. I was glad because my heart was pounding out of my chest and I was sure I was going to flop all over my words. I used that time to rehearse the question in my head and when it came time, I could speak without my heart in my mouth. I was feeling the need to acknowledge Adam in some way. How could I not, but I didn't know how! Fortunately, they started talking about concert audiences and the use of cameras and cell phones to record them. Adam said it's good to have that because his concerts can be shared with people around the world, but since it impersonalizes the experience, he wants people to just put their cameras and phones away for the show. I don't remember if it was then or earlier, but he had mentioned his live concert DVD on sale, March 22. BINGO! That gave me a perfect segue to give attention to Adam, but still direct my question to the others. I even figured out a way to mention this website and it brought a big smile to his face! In video 7, at 6:50 you can hear me ask the question. Suz told me that she didn't want to swing the camera back and forth, so I wasn't on camera, but you can clearly hear me. I'm glad, because during my question when I mentioned the male-only panel, and it got quite a reaction from the host and panel. Before Pandora- founder Westergren said since he was married that he'd field the question, someone said something that Adam and others burst out laughing at. If anyone knows, please comment back what it was! As Westergren starts answering, you can see the top of my head as I was crossing in front of the panel, walking back to my seat. At that moment, I was suddenly afraid that I'd come off nasty, so I assured the panel that it wasn't a hostile question!
After the summit was over, we were surprised to learn that there was an after-summit celebration, complete with delicious hors d'oeuvres from Wolfgang Puck's restaurant and cocktails featuring Absolut Vodka. The panel disbanded and the media used this time to individually question and photograph the panel. After Adam was through with the professional media, he came to the front of the stage and about 20 fans approached him and were able to get autographs. Since he was looking right at me from 8 feet away during my intro and smiled when I mentioned that I was from this site, I felt that I'd had my moment with him and I didn't feel the need to ask for anything more from him. I can hardly believe I just wrote that! Also, I wanted to make sure that I got my "swag bag!"
Please watch the following videos, courtesy of the fabulous suz526, to experience every moment we saw. They are broken into 8 segments, with an additional recap of Adam's moments.

Afterwards, our group went for dinner and was seated at a table next to 3 of our friends, so we just joined tables and had a wonderful meal. We started looking in our swag bags, and found Jawbone t-shirts, a Grammy decorated iPhone/iPod cover, and a Grammy poster. We were really happy. Then Glenda, who had gone to the stage to have time with Adam and initially missed out on getting a swag bag, but did get one from a worker who found a group of 10 more, also pulled a Jawbone Bluetooth out of hers. Lila's eyes nearly popped out of her head, since my techy friend knew the high value of this product. We realized our bags were missing them, so I talked her into going back and seeing if we could find one for each of us. Glenda must have gotten a swag bag meant for more than a general admission ticket holder! Yes, we got back in and immediately passed by the Jawbone table. I saw about 10 of the Bluetooth boxes on the table, but Lila wanted to go talk to a Summit official to see if she could get one. I thought why not ask the table attendees? So we split up. I went up to a Jawbone rep, mentioned that we didn't get one in our bags, and could I have one? He was surprised, said he didn't know that they were in the bags, but said "oh well, let's pick out a good one for you!" I guess they differ cosmetically on the earpiece. I then asked if I could have one for my friend too. He reached right down and looked for "another good one" and gave it to me. I found Lila at the other end of the room. She was disappointed that she was still without one and I surprised her and showed her I got them for us! As if the day wasn't perfect already, this just added to it.
On our way back to the parking lot, we passed by a brightly lit red carpet celebration. We were curious to what was going on, so marched over to it. I didn't realize that my friends had sat down while I walked next to the red carpet for a while, and then stepped over the velvet rope gaining admission to the outdoor area in front of the hall. It turned out to be the Music Cares celebration, honoring Barbra Streisand! There was an L-shaped formation behind more velvet ropes where celebrities were posing and moving into the lobby of the hall. I immediately saw Seal so I pulled out my small camera and took pictures, positioning my camera through the gaps of the large professional cameras. I figured that if I was really breaking into a forbidden area, someone would escort me out! I kept looking for my friends and didn't see them, figuring they were crazy like me and were lost in the camera cluster. I checked out the rest of the celebrities, not recognizing any of them, but I saw a group of young men in navy blazers and knew they were Glee's Warblers! I didn't see my new favorite Darren Criss, but I took pictures of those who I could see. (The next day I learned that Darren was opening the show, so that's why he wasn't on the carpet.) I then figured I better find my friends. Nope, they weren't inside the red carpet area, so I exited, and found them sitting across the street. They couldn't believe I had made it in, and thought I would be kicked out for sure, maybe taken away by the Grammy Police! I'm sorry readers, I hope you don't think I'm too rude. I just was so excited by the day, and figured that the worst that would happen was that I'd be discovered and asked to leave. Fortunately, that wasn't the case and I can share these pictures.
This was one of the best days of my life. In a weird way, it was almost better than going to one of Adam's concerts. We got to be with him for 2 hours, and he was totally at ease, sharing the intellectual side of himself; different from the onstage entertainer or talk-show guest.
I want to say I DO know how lucky I am, and how grateful I am for the wonderful friends I have and the opportunities that have come into my life through my appreciation for Adam Lambert.
Love ya!

Goodness = Good Heart
Goodness :
What is the key to happiness, really?
You have different kinds of happiness I think =>
good happiness
evil happiness
That's the two I can come up with now. I think 'evil happiness' is obtained from having power. The kind Lord Voldemort had before Harry kicked his sorry ass. *cough* Sorry for the language. Just sounded awesome saying that. *grin*
Evil happiness isn't even happiness at all. It's just a dark lust for power (later leading onto insanity of course) and deriving some sort of sick satisfaction from it. That's not happiness. I don't think so.
Good happiness however comes from doing good things! Like helping people and being the reason for a smile on someone's face by giving them a reason to be happy. It means you're being a good person.
And being a good person = having a good heart.
Having a good heart = cuteness.

~Worth Any Danger~
"I'm sorry, Hermione, but I don't love you."
The words were spoken, finally. And in the silence, he could almost hear two hearts breaking.
And when he saw the look in her brown eyes, he wished desperately that he could take back the words he'd just said, the lie he'd just told to his best friend in the world, the girl he loved, had always loved, would always love. But he couldn't. He couldn't.
And so Harry Potter turned and walked away from what he knew would be the only love of his life.
Sirius Black woke up to someone pounding on his front door. No, not pounding, it wasn't quite forceful enough for that, but someone was knocking very insistently.
Sighing, he threw on a robe and went to answer the door, wondering who on earth it could be at that hour.
It was Harry. His godson was soaking wet from the rain, although he didn't appear to pay any attention to the rain that was dripping off of him, and he looked as miserable as Sirius had ever seen him.
"Harry, what is it? What happened?"
Harry just shook his head, as he took off his rain cloak.
Sirius followed his godson into the living room, frowning in concern at his godson's back. Harry looked defeated, his green eyes blank for once.
There was a beat of silence in which Sirius just studied his godson wondering what could have happened to have Harry looking like he'd just seen the dearest thing in life to him get killed.
Finally, when Sirius was beginning to think that he was going to have to force Harry to speak, Harry said flatly, "Hermione said she loves me."
Sirius blinked, nonplussed, before his face lit up. "But that's wonderful! I always hoped it would happen. You two are meant for each other."
Sirius's smile faltered at the look on Harry's face. "What did you say, Harry?" he asked, getting a feeling of dread in his stomach, although he already knew the answer.
"I told her I didn't love her," Harry said, his voice dull. "I broke her heart, Sirius, and told her I didn't love her. And then I walked away."
Sirius just stared for a moment, willing himself to have just imagined what his godson had said. "But Harry, you do love her. I know you do. I've seen the way you look at her!"
Something in Harry seemed to snap and he turned to his godfather, speaking quickly, almost fiercely. "Of course I love her! She's always been there for me, she's the only person who's always been there for me!!"
Sirius flinched at this reminder of his many years of neglect of his own duty as Harry's godfather, although he knew that Harry was not talking about that and certainly didn't blame him for it. Being locked up in Azkaban tended to get one released from normal obligations to family and friends, he thought bitterly, before turning his attention back to his godson who was now pacing back and forth as if unable to sit still any longer.
"I love her, but I can't! If I started a relationship with her, if I stay with her, I might as well just paint a giant target on her forehead! I can't do it! I can't put her in danger, Sirius. It would kill me if anything happened to her, and if anyone found out how much I love her, that the easiest way to destroy me would be to do something to her…" He paused, shuddering at the bare idea. "I can't put her in danger," he repeated. "I can't!"
He turned to face his godfather, shoving his wet hair aside, baring his forehead and pointing at the lightning-bolt scar on it. "Look at this! This! It's my particular target! It's why every dastardly wizard in the world is out to get me! Why I can't ever let myself love her the way I want to."
Harry stopped his pacing to throw himself into an armchair, the anger and frustration seeming to have dissipated. "I can't let myself love her," he finally said, his voice low and bleak.
Sirius sighed, watching his godson. He should have known Harry would feel this way, would act this way. Should have expected it. After all, Harry was so much like James…
"Oh Harry, you're so much like your father," he said finally, resignation in his voice.
Harry looked at his godfather in confusion at this seeming non-sequitur. "What?"
Sirius leaned forward, holding Harry's gaze with his own, although he wasn't really seeing Harry at all. He was seeing James as he had been more than twenty years ago, James in a similar situation.
"Sirius, I just broke up with Lily."
Sirius stared at his best friend, before shaking his head as if to clear it. "Sorry, Prongs, I think I misheard you there. I thought I just heard you say you had broken up with Lily."
James just looked steadily back at his best friend of so many years, the look on his face saying it all.
"Bloody hell!" Sirius finally exploded. "What the devil did you do that for?!"
James flinched a little at his friend's vehemence. "I had no choice, idiot! Do you think I'd have done it willingly?!"
James glared at his friend before flopping back on his bed. They were alone in the Gryffindor boys' room, Remus and Peter having left to study Astronomy. James had begged off, pleading fatigue, and Sirius had stayed behind as well, because, well, Sirius never studied if he could help it and he happened to be blessed with enough brains to do passably well without studying all that intensely. Besides, Sirius had known that something was bothering his best friend and had taken the opportunity to find out what.
"Why, James? Why did you need to do that?" Sirius finally asked, his voice quiet. "You love Lily and she loves you. Why break up then?"
James closed his eyes for a moment, a look of pain flashing across his features, before he opened them again to look Sirius directly in the face. "It was because I love her that I broke up with her."
Sirius blinked. "Come again?"
James sighed, sitting up. "Come on, Padfoot, think about it. My parents were killed by Dark wizards because of their being descended from Godric Gryffindor and their open hatred of the Dark Arts. I'm just as much of a target as they were, especially now that I'm the last living descendant. I can't put Lily through that. I can't ask her to. She's already in some danger just because she's Muggle-born; you know how she's treated by gits like Malfoy and Avery and Nott! I can't put her in more danger than she's already in, Sirius. So I ended it. I'd rather hurt both of us now than have any harm come to her because of her association with me."
Sirius was shaking his head slowly at James's reasoning. "James, listen to me. You're not thinking straight. You're…"
James glared at his best friend, cutting him off. "No! Do you think I haven't thought about this? Do you think I haven't lain awake nights thinking about it?! Do you think this was easy for me to do?! Merlin's ghost, Sirius, I'm in love with Lily! How do you bloody think it made me feel to know I was hurting her? To know I had no choice but to hurt her like that?!" James turned away, his chest heaving from the strength of his emotions.
Sirius sighed, shaking his head. When he spoke, his voice was completely and utterly serious and sincere, all trace of his usual mirth gone. "James, you love Lily and she loves you. You guys were meant for each other. Everyone who's seen you two together knows that. I've never really been in love, never found the girl who could complete me that way. I envy what you and Lily have, you know, that complete trust and love. James, if you throw what you have with Lily away because you're afraid of what might happen, then I am going to think you are the world's biggest prat and a coward at that. Sure, there's danger, but believe me when I say that what you and Lily have is worth the danger a hundred times over. And if I had something similar, I'd never let go like that; I'd hold on to her with all that I had in me." Sirius finished his little speech almost in a whisper.
James didn't move or make a sound, but Sirius knew he had heard and was thinking about it.
He stood up. Knowing James he would need some time alone. "I'm going to go see how Moony and Wormtail are doing on Astronomy."
James didn't respond as Sirius left the room.
Sirius blinked, seeming to see Harry again. "You know your father once said and did the almost exact same thing as you're doing now, Harry?" he finally said.
Harry blinked, some life coming back into his green eyes. "What did he do?"
Sirius sighed at the memory. "He broke up with your mother."
Harry gasped audibly, looking as if Sirius had just told him that his parents had never really been married after all. "What? Why?"
Sirius took a breath before explaining, "Your parents had been going out for about a year when it happened, at the beginning of 7th year. James told me that he'd broken up with Lily because he didn't want to put her in any more danger. He didn't want her associated with the last descendant of Godric Gryffindor because he knew that he was a target for that reason and he decided, just like you, Harry, that he couldn't put the girl he loved into danger like that."
Sirius looked Harry directly in the eyes as he continued. "I told your father just what I'm going to tell you now, Harry. Throwing away a chance for a love like that of your parents or what you and Hermione have, is, to put it simply, stupid. Harry, true love like what you feel for Hermione and what James and Lily felt for each other, the kind of love that is willing to put the welfare of their loved one above their own happiness, is a gift from the Fates. And to throw that away because of an admittedly vague fear is the act of a coward."
Harry opened his mouth to speak, but Sirius cut him off, not allowing him to. "Harry, I know you aren't a coward any more than your father was. Listen to me, Harry. I told your father this and he finally agreed with me. He went to your mother that night and told her everything. And she told him that she would rather have a few years with him than live a much safer life with anyone else, because she loved him. I'm sure that your Hermione would say the same thing, if you tell her. Harry, being a martyr is all well and good but it is also unnecessary. Harry, Hermione knows probably better than anyone how much danger you're in. Like you said, she's been there with you through it all. And she's certainly clever enough to have thought about all this before. If she told you she loved you then I'd be willing to bet my wand that she had already decided that she'd rather be happy with you than be safe without you. Think about it."
Sirius stood up. "I'm going back to bed. You're welcome to stay the night if you want, Harry."
Harry looked up. "No, no, I… I have something I need to do."
Sirius smiled at his godson, before clapping a hand on his shoulder and squeezing it. "Then go to it, son," he said, tears shining in his black eyes.
Harry smiled back. "Thanks, Sirius. Thanks a lot."
And with that, Harry grabbed his somewhat dryer cloak and left, shutting the door behind him.
Sirius stood for a moment, staring at the door. Oh, James, if you only knew just how like you Harry is.
Harry arrived back at the door of Hermione's flat, breathing hard, suddenly feeling as if a dozen Golden Snitches were fluttering around in his stomach.
He raised his hand to knock then changed his mind and pulled out his wand. "Alohomora." With a soft click, the door opened and he stepped inside to the dark flat.
Quietly, he hung up his cloak and, taking off his shoes, padded to Hermione's bedroom door.
It was quiet inside, as if she'd gone to sleep.
Careful not to make a sound, he stepped inside the room, his eyes immediately finding Hermione, curled under the covers. He could tell that she must have cried herself to sleep. There were still traces of tears on her face and his heart clenched at the sight.
He had done that. He was the reason for her tears.
Softly, he bent over Hermione and kissed her. "Hermione," he breathed.
Her eyes fluttered open, still clouded with sleep. She blinked before catching her breath. "Harry? What… what are you doing here?"
"I came back. I- I have to tell you something, Hermione."
She nodded, looking wary, her brown eyes filled with hurt.
"Hermione, what I said earlier, that is, well, uh, I lied," he finally admitted.
Hermione's mouth opened, closed, then opened again, but he continued on before she could speak. "I love you, Hermione. I'm in love with you. The reason I lied before was because I didn't want you to be in danger because of me. I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you, Hermione. It would kill me if you were hurt because of me. So I lied, and I hurt you. Hermione, I'm so sorry. I- mmph."
His words were cut off as Hermione kissed him.
He kissed her back, his eyes closing. Dear Merlin, how long had he wanted to do this?
She felt so good in his arms, so good, he thought rather fuzzily.
She was the first one to break the kiss, breathing hard, her face flushed. He had never seen anything more beautiful than she was at that moment, he realized. "Harry, you idiot!"
He blinked, confused.
"Harry, don't you know? I love you. I want to be with you. I don't care about the danger. We'll face it together, the way we always have, remember?" She paused, her hands holding his face so he couldn't look away, even if he had wanted to. "Harry, don't you know, we're stronger when we're together? We always have been. Don't try to make me some sort of helpless swooning damsel, Harry. I can take care of myself and Harry," she paused, her voice softening, "being with you is more than worth any danger I might be in. I love you, Harry. I always have, I always will. Forever." Her voice softened to a whisper at the last words.
Harry blinked back tears, wondering just what he had done to deserve to have this amazing woman declaring her love to him. "You're the most amazing person I've ever met, Hermione. I love you."
She drew his head down to kiss him again as he pressed her down onto her bed.
And both knew that whatever happened, they would face it together, the way they had been meant to be.

There are three great characters in the Mahabharata. All the other characters are just by-products of these three characters. Duryodhana, Arjuna, and Krishna are these three main and great characters. To me, Duryodhana represents the Unconscious. He is a metaphor for the Unconscious. Arjuna represents the Conscious. He is a metaphor for the Conscious. And Krishna represents the Supreme Conscious. He is a metaphor for the Supreme Conscious. He is representing the Supreme Consciousness. When the ray of the Supreme Consciousness passes through the prism of the mind, the prism of the mind manifests the Supreme Consciousness, as the Consciousness and the Unconsciousness.
Duryodhana is a symbol for an unconscious action. He represents a blind action. He represents a devilish desire of an action. He represents an impure action. He is a symbol for an imperfect action. Arjuna is a symbol for a conscious action. He is a symbol for a perfecting action. He is continuously perfecting his actions. He is continuously evolving under the directions of Krishna. And Krishna is a symbol for an action that is emerging from the experience of the Supreme Consciousness. He is a symbol for a perfection in an action. He stands for an Enlightened Action. There is a result of all these actions. And the result is not in our hands. And what is there in our hands is the type of the action and the quality of the action. This is what we can choose. This is what we can chase. And this is what we can change. And the rest all is in the hands of the divine.

Chinese groups are also moving into Australia's commercial property market, most notably the Greenland Group, which last month emerged as the buyer of the central business district site that can accommodate Sydney's tallest apartment tower.
Greenland, which is one of Shanghai's largest state-owned groups, last year also looked at buying the Australia 108 site in Melbourne's Southbank, where a proposed 388 metre skyscraper is to be located.
The project in California will consist of 3100 housing units,18,580 square metres of offices and shops, and 12 hectares of parks and open space along Oakland's estuary, Signature President Michael Ghielmetti said from Beijing, where he is accompanying California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr on a trade mission.
Mr Ghielmetti declined to give details of the equity split.
"This massive influx of Chinese investment will put thousands of Californians to work and dramatically improve Oakland's waterfront," Mr Brown, a former Oakland mayor, said.
"This project is just one example of what's possible when business leaders in two of the world's most dynamic regions connect," he said.
Signature's Chinese partner is Beijing-based
The Oakland development doesn't need a construction loan, and the agreement with Zarsion was completed in the last three months, he said.
Closely held Signature, based in Oakland, has built more than 12,000 residences in San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento.
"The Bay area has a big potential of development," Zarsion said. "The project is near the waterfront while Chinese people consider water as fortune. We are optimistic about the area and the project."
The project, Zarsion's first investment outside China, will target buyers including Chinese nationals, the company said adding that it plans more investment in the United States.
Dubbed Brooklyn Basin, the Oakland project will sit on 26 hectares and include more than 1.6 kilometres of waterfront trails along the estuary.
Home prices in Alameda County rose 26 per cent in February from a year earlier to a median $US372,000, DataQuick Inc said on March 14.
All nine counties in the San Francisco Bay Area showed double-digit appreciation, with Napa up 30 per cent, San Mateo up 29 per cent and Santa Clara up 28 per cent, the San Diego-based research firm said. San Francisco rose 12 per cent to $US700,500.

3 Things To Expect When Kroger Reports Its Q1 2016 Earnings
- Kroger's revenue and earnings per share (EPS) are expected to expand 6% and 10%, respectively, YoY.
- Expect management discourse on Kroger's organic food initiatives.
- Expect analyst questions regarding the economy and competition.
Kroger (NYSE:KR) Q1 2016 earnings are expected to be announced on Thursday, June 16. Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share (EPS) of $0.69 on revenue of $34.85 billion, according to Yahoo! Finance. This would represent a 10% YoY increase in earnings and a 6% YoY increase in revenue. However, a three year run up in stock price (up until this year) along with macroeconomic and competitive pressures leaves some in the financial community wondering about any near-term price appreciation potential. With that said, let's examine a few things that investors should expect when the management reports its earnings next week.
Source: Kroger Stock Price Chart by amigobulls.com
Organic food offense
Expect Kroger's management to discuss its organic and healthy food strategies. People increasingly consume food and beverages with the "organic" label as consumers perceive health benefits from the product line. Conventional wisdom holds that increasing health care costs, as well as the desire to live a long and healthy life, serve as catalysts for the shift in consumer spending patterns. This shift long benefited organic grocery pioneer and competitor to Kroger, Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFM).
On April 1, Kroger made an interesting partnership with privately held organic grocer Lucky's Market. Even more interesting is the fact that Kroger invested in the chain. Kroger's press release touted that its investment and scale will benefit Lucky's Market. However, Kroger will most likely come away with an enhanced understanding of the organic food market. It shouldn't come as a surprise if Kroger acquires Lucky's Market outright, giving Kroger a further foothold in the organic grocery market.
Competition and economics
Look for analysts' questions related to deflationary trends, especially with fuel. This could conceivably impact revenue more than expenses, causing a margin contraction. On June 7, analysts at Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) cut the target price of Kroger's stock by an eyebrow raising 6% to $34 per share. Moreover, this represents a 7% decrease from its current level as of this writing. The fact that Kroger continues to operate in an immensely competitive business weighs on the minds of analysts.
I believe Kroger is more than fully aware of the competitive dynamic of its business. This represents the reason why it continues to adopt new technologies that enable easier lives for the consumer. In addition, technology enables Kroger to stay in touch with consumer patterns and efficiently offer discounts in the appropriate places.
Solid fundamentals
Kroger's approach to its finances resided in the conservative range over the last decade. Even with the possibility of Kroger not meeting estimates, investors should expect a small increase in net income and free cash flow even if deflation puts a dent in its top line. No doubt, Kroger is keeping an eye on its expenses. Kroger's margins expanded across the board last year. As the proverbial icing on the cake, Kroger pays a solid dividend of $0.42 per share per year yielding 1.2% while investors wait for any capital appreciation.
If the financial community frowns on Kroger's earnings report next week, investors should take advantage of any possible decline in stock price. As of this writing, Kroger's P/E ratio clocks in at 18. This compares favorably to 24 for the S&P 500. Kroger's position as the largest retailer behind rival Walmart (NYSE:WMT), its ambitions to move forward and its conservative financial management warrant a second look by the long-term investor.

"People ask me every day if Kent's place is hurting our business. I tell them, 'heck no, they are helping it.' I look at it this way: Everybody loves comfort food. Kent serves the rich guys, and I serve the guys who used to be rich. And believe me, there are more of the latter than ever before." (Shannon Wynne, on the opening of Kent Rathbun's Blue Plate Kitchen next to his own Flying Fish. As quoted by Alan Peppard in the Dallas Morning News).

For all those readers of The Jazz Clarinet who didn't know it yet, I'm now a proud member of the Cleveland-based gypsy jazz ensemble, Hot Djang. For several months I've been subbing as a lead voice whenever jazz violinist Reed Simon or guitarist Kevin Richards had a gigging conflict--and always jumped at the opportunity, as these guys are some of the best and most soulful players out there.
As a clarinetist, it's a dream to work in this particular genre, with this group of talented musicians. There is probably no greater freedom for a clarinetist, as all registers jump without trouble--and being the sole wind voice gives me a melodic and timbral scope almost impossible to find in other ensembles. Each of the musicians in the group--Brad Smedley, Bryan Thomas, Kevin, and Reed--bring out new things in my playing every time out: it's jazz at its best!
Hot Djang has a standing monthly gig every third Friday evening, from 7:30 to 10:30 in the lounge of Rockefeller's Restaurant at the corner of Mayfield and Lee Roads in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. We play a wide range of Django Reinhardt tunes and hot jazz numbers. If you're in Cleveland, or nearby, stop in and hear us--I'll keep this blog up to date as to our whereabouts and activities.
|You never know who'll show up at Rockefeller's for a Hot Djang gig:
here I am with Franklin Cohen of the Cleveland Orchestra.

Italy's women's Artistic Gymnastics technical director Mr. Enrico Casella nominated Giorgia Campana, Alessia Leolini and Tea Ugrin to compete at the Baku 2015 European Games.
The 19-year-old Campana competed at the 2012 Olympics and also won the Team bronze medal at the 2012 European Championships. The Rome native also claimed Team and Balance Beam gold medals at the 2013 Mediterranean Games.
The 18-year-old Leolini and 16-year-old Ugrin have had less international success and will be heading to Baku 2015 to gain important experience.
The Italian team will not include the 17-year-old Enus Mariani, the 2012 All-Around European junior champion.
The Russian team meanwhile appears set to compete for medals. Coach Valentina Rodionenko has reportedly already selected London 2012 All-Around silver medallist Viktoria Komova and London 2012 Uneven Bars gold medallist Aliya Mustafina for the Russian women's team.
The third spot will reportedly be decided among 2014 Youth Olympic Games All-Around and Uneven Bars gold medallist Seda Tutkhalyan, 2013 Russian Balance Beam champion Evgeniya Shelgunova or Maria Kharenkova, the 2014 European Balance Beam champion and 2015 European All-Around silver medallist.
Russia's men's Artistic gymnasts are expected to be 2013 European All-Around champion and 2015 European All-Around silver medallist David Belyavskiy, 2013 Summer Universiade All-Around and Pommel Horse champion Nikolai Kuksenkov and 2014 European Team champion Nikita Ignatyev.
However, Rodionenko was quoted as saying that the team was not final.
