|Wings singles chronology
"Goodnight Tonight" is a single by the band Wings notable for its disco-inflected sound and spirited flamenco guitar break. It peaked at number five in both the United Kingdom and United States during 1979.
"Goodnight Tonight" began as an instrumental backing track McCartney had recorded in 1978. Needing a single for Wings to accompany the Back to the Egg album, McCartney took out the track and brought it into the studio, where the full Wings line-up completed it.[1] Laine and Juber added electric guitars, mirroring Paul's parts and Holley added percussion, while the whole band sang in the chorus.[2] Since the track was over seven minutes long, an edited version was used as the single, with the full version available as a 12-inch single. A music video was made for the song, showing Wings performing in 1930s costumes; stills from the video were used on the single's sleeve. In the US, the single was the first released under McCartney's new deal with Columbia Records.
The track did not appear on Wings' then-current album Back to the Egg (from which sessions this song was recorded); it was later included on the McCartney compilations All the Best! (1987) and Wingspan: Hits and History (2001). The 7" version was released as a bonus track on the 1993 remastered CD of McCartney II, as part of The Paul McCartney Collection. The B-side of this single was "Daytime Nighttime Suffering". An extended version of the song appears on a digital iTunes re-issue of Back to the Egg.
Charts and reception[edit]
"Goodnight Tonight" was an international hit, reaching number five on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.[3][4] John Lennon, McCartney's former songwriting partner, later commented that he did not care for the song, but enjoyed McCartney's bass guitar on the single.[1] The single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of over one million copies.[5]
References in popular culture[edit]
The song was featured in the 2010 film Grown Ups.

Long SleepMature
Eternal didn't know what to do but she found herself returning to the alcove where she sat down back against the wall.
Then Falcon came round the corner. "Mind if I sit with you?" he asks.
"No" Eternal whispers. Falcon sits next to her so close her whole right side of her body touches his left. She find herself curling up next to him and resting her head in his lap.
Then after a moments hesistation he rests his arms around her..... Cradling her close to him.
"What do you think will be in those tunnels?" Falcon whispers. Eternal feels his hands in her hair stroking it softly.
"Probably minor deamons and monster....... Hopefully nothing to bad..... Worse I can think of would be a Minotaur but....." She shrugs. "It wont be a problem with so many of us. And I dont think it would live in such small tunnels"
Falcon nods then leans down to kiss Eternal's cheek. "You need to sleep..... Do you want me to go?"
He begins to stand up but Eternal grips one of his wrists. "Don't go" she whispers. He sighs and lies down next to her.
"Fine" he mumbles. Eternal creates then each a pillow then a blanket falls over both of them and she moves closer to Falcon..... molding herself to his chest.
"Goodnight" Eternal whispers.

What was your favorite wedding photo?
Great group shots and wonderful shots and my husband and I together.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
Great with portraits and group shots.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
For having a small wedding at The Inn at Craig's Place we got a special deal that included 2 hours of photography and a DVD with one photographer. Although Jessica's photography is amazing, customer service could be better.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
This was an issue-- family complained that the photographer was grouchy and, although we did get her on a sick day, we could have done with less attitude. However, the pictures turned out beautifully.

THERE are so many shows to see at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that it is
difficult to even begin to decide which is for you.
So we've gathered together some of the top acts at this year's festival to
find out a little bit about them, and what, why and where they are
performing this year.
Read on for a chat with Hackney Empire New Act of the Year 2010 and The
Musical Comedy Awards 2010 champion Abandoman, who appears on Tommy Talks on Sunday
12th August…
1) What's your show called, and what's it about?
It's called "Party in the Key of C Major" and it's the improvised story of Rob
Broderick (Abandoman).
It starts with my day job in Ireland and then transcends/descends into
something quite ridiculous.
The audience become the people that I worked with, that managed me, that I
grew up with.
It's like a hip hop version of this is your life, with no one knowing exactly
who they're meant to be – particularly me.
2) If your Edinburgh show – metaphorically speaking – was an Olympic event,
which one would it be and why?
Volleyball. The whole show is improvised and there are moments that I'm simply
trying to keep the ball in the air.
Occasionally I'm unsuccessful, in which case it's a point to the audience. 14
points and they get their money back.
3) What's been the greatest moment of your last twelve months?
Abandoman toured with Ed Sheeran, supporting him on his UK tour in January.
That was quite a fun trip! We did lots of gigs to people who'd never seen us
before and got to watch Ed's live show, which is immense.
4) Best and worst ever gigs?
The worst was performing on a bus for a group on a stag do.
I'd been told by the best man, who booked me, not to reveal that I was a
comic, so I got on a coach and about 2 minutes later started rapping about
the guy getting married.
I quickly realised that no one knew I was a performer, they thought I was a
member of the group who was acting in quite a cocky manner and deciding to
impose his love of rap on them.
I think they figured out that I wasn't part of the group about fifteen minutes
into a twenty minute set.
With best, there have been lots of fun shows – one that springs to mind was
when a tent got shut down at Hop Farm Festival last year, we finished our
2AM set on a picnic table outside the tent with a fairly rowdy crowd.
5) What would be your absolute fantasy, dream outcome from this year's
Learning to play the piano. This year I'm performing with a hip hop keys
player called Rob Grundal.
He's offered to teach me the basics while I'm up there.
My ambition is always greater than my ability. In my mind, by the time the
fringe is over, I'll have mastered piano-based jazz-funk.
6) What's been keeping your mind active recently, other than comedy?
My upcoming campaign to become the last new member of Wu Tang Clan. Only
Method Man is refusing to vote me in.
If I can turn him, that's it, I'm official.
You read it here first, Sun Readers. WU FOR LIFE!
7) What are the best lessons you've learnt from going to Edinburgh?
Never fall asleep in a late night show – when you wake, something terrible
will have happened and strangers will point at you in the street for the
next three to eight days but you'll never know why.
Also: don't eat 'street haggis'. Never stay in a hostel that offers a communal
mattress. There's no such things as " Haggis Bear".
Releasing 52 doves at the end of your show destroys budget, venue and
reputation amongst the Scottish PETA Association (for the last time, I'm
8) Where, when and what inspires you – creatively – the most?
YouTube. I've learnt too much from this site, from how to play OutKast tracks
on the banjo to how to build an Ikea Hemnes wardrobe (this particular video
was created by a man in Idaho, and had 56 views, far fewer than his skilled
video deserves.
If it wasn't for this man, I'd currently own several slabs of wood and lack a
place to store t-shirts).
9) Fill in the blanks; If you like ____, ____ & ____ then you'll enjoy
coming to see my show!
If you like hip hop, comedy, & watching a man attempt jazz-funk piano then
you'll enjoy coming to see my show!

Optimal glucose management in the ICU remains unclear. In 2009, many clinicians at Intermountain Healthcare selected a moderate glucose control (90-140 mg/dL) instead of tight glucose control (80-110 mg/dL). We hypothesized that moderate glucose control would affect patients with and without preexisting diabetes differently.
We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of all patients treated with eProtocol-insulin from November 2006 to March 2011, stratifying for diabetes. We performed multivariate logistic regression for 30-day mortality with covariates of age, modified APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) II score, Charlson Comorbidity score, and target glucose.
We studied 3,529 patients in 12 different ICUs in eight different hospitals. Patients with diabetes had higher mean glucose (132 mg/dL vs 124 mg/dL) and greater glycemic variability (SD = 41 mg/dL vs 29 mg/dL) than did patients without diabetes (P < .01 for both comparisons). Tight glucose control was associated with increased frequency of moderate and severe hypoglycemia (30.3% and 3.6%) compared with moderate glucose control (14.3% and 2.0%, P < .01 for both). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the moderate glucose target was independently associated with increased risk of mortality in patients without diabetes (OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.01-1.84; P = .05) but decreased risk of mortality in patients with diabetes (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.45-0.93; P = .01).
Moderate glucose control (90-140 mg/dL) may confer greater mortality in critically ill patients without diabetes compared with tight glucose control (80-110 mg/dL). A single glucose target does not appear optimal for all critically ill patients. These data have important implications for the design of future interventional trials as well as for the glycemic management of critically ill patients.

This story is an early Christmas present to Cecelle. Without her friendship, support, and patient proofreading, this story would have been a gigantic mess. I also thank Vaughn for urging me to go ahead with this story idea.
I purposely have waited to speak to the boys. If I am honest with myself, I also needed the time to cool the fire of anger burning within me.
Children can be overwhelmingly simple; they think they are invulnerable to death and injury.
It is my own fault. I underestimated the vehemence of dislike these boys have for one another. I thought I could broker some understanding between them, but I failed miserably. I thought it was just boys being boys. Now I am reaping what I have sown.
It's not to say the fact that something could go wrong wasn't always in the back of my mind. It was there, that niggling itch that wanted to be scratched.
Filius Flitwick and I had been enjoying a lively and sometimes heated debate about the relative merits of teaching Charms for a year prior to beginning Transfiguration lessons as we slowly walked the grounds after supper. Filius had some very convincing arguments; I had too few good rebuttals to back my side of the debate. We were about to re-enter the main doors when I noticed a red glow shining off the highly polished doorknockers.
Turning around, both of us saw red sparks, the colour Professor Flitwick had instructed the students to create in the event of an emergency, shooting into the sky from the direction of the Whomping Willow.
As I and Filius ran across the lawn, I saw James Potter drag a highly emotional Severus Snape out of the gap in the tree, just before the snout of a werewolf emerged from the opening. Its mouth drooled and its jaws snapped as it eagerly anticipated an easy kill.
A werewolf hunts by scent until it is within striking distance; this creature whiffed air deeply into its lungs before it opened its mouth to bring more scent to its olfactory glands.
Finding the scent again, the trapped werewolf grew frantic to escape the confining Willow as it smelled the intense fear radiating from the two boys. The creature's eyes finally caught the motion of the two students as they fled.
James and Severus, taking no notice of the writhing tree limbs, tripped over the tree's roots as they scrambled to escape and fell hard to the packed dirt. The werewolf, sensing their weakness, pushed its broad shoulders through the narrow opening and leapt free of the tree. My stomach lurched; the wards hadn't given way; the creature's desire to gain its prey had overcome them.
Horrified, I found myself in the unenviable position of having to stun a student. The tree knocked both boys ten feet into the air; they fell hard onto the bumpy roots. Both of the young wizards lay motionless – I had no choice but to act when the creature coiled to leap at its chosen prey's throat. My wand dropped into my hand without a conscious thought.
"Stupefy Bestia!" The werewolf fell heavily to the ground, nearly on top of the two boys.
"Incarcerous! Arboris Immobilius!" I called out the two spells in what must have been a shaking voice. The werewolf's mouth was muzzled and its legs were bound by magic, and the branches of the Willow stopped moving.
I heard the heavy footfall of the Keeper of the Keys and Grounds as he rushed up from behind to help us. A lighter, yet no less urgent, footfall followed Hagrid's.
"What's happened?" Minerva asked breathlessly.
I didn't reply; my own shock kept coherent words from forming. She seemed puzzled by my raised wand; then her eyes followed the direction it was pointed.
"Oh, my God!" she inhaled sharply, her face losing all colour.
"He won't be moving for some time," I said, more to myself than the others.
Flitwick pointed his wand at the unconscious and bound werewolf. With a minimum of wand movement, he had lifted the creature and was directing it to the opening of the Whomping Willow.
Minerva blinked madly as she stared down at the two still forms at the foot of the tree. "How did this happen, Albus?"
Steeling myself, I approached the boys lying across the bumpy tree roots, dreading the thought that either might have been bitten by the enraged werewolf. James was partially covering the other boy. Kneeling beside them, I saw the reassuring slow rise and fall of James' chest.
"Are they…?" Minerva asked tentatively as she knelt beside her students.
My wand ran over James' back. "James is fine, Minerva. I think he's just had the wind knocked out of him."
"And the other boy?" she asked worriedly.
Rolling James to the side, I saw the back of a bloody robe and felt my stomach clench.
"Hagrid, will you carry James over there?" I asked, motioning off to my right.
There was no movement from the other child; I hurriedly turned him over onto his back. My eyes hungrily took in the sight of the pasty face as my fingers searched frantically for a neck pulse. The heart beat at a maddeningly rapid pace. His skin looked luminous under the full moon.
Minerva cried out as she recognized Severus Snape.
"Find Madam Pomfrey and tell her she is needed," I said.
She hesitated and reached to touch Severus.
"Go!" I ordered as I stroked the boy's hand.
She changed into her Animagus form and sprinted across the lawn, leaping over treacherous rocks on her way to the castle.
James moaned softly.
"Madam Pomfrey will be here directly; just remain where you are, James."
"H-Hagrid?" he asked thickly. James tried to sit up.
"Yeh jus' be still."
"Is Snape hurt?" James asked in a weak, frightened voice.
Biting my lip, I couldn't speak.
"He wasn't bit, was he?" The fear in Potter's weak voice was palpable.
Minerva must have run like a cheetah because a moment later I saw Madam Pomfrey bent aerodynamically low over a broomstick; there was the silhouetted outline of a cat on the broom's bristles. Poppy and the cat leapt off the broomstick while it was still five feet from the ground.
Minerva regained her human form and stroked her robe into place with a feline grace.
The school matron glanced down at James as he struggled to sit up. She held up three fingers. "How many do you see?"
"Th-three," he replied, still in his daze. "I can't find my glasses. Do you know where my glasses are? Mum will kill me if I can't find them."
"Will you…?" Madam Pomfrey asked sharply, motioning Minerva to watch over James. The deputy headmistress dropped to the young wizard's side. I could hear the murmur of her voice as she spoke reassuringly to him.
Poppy's moved to the other teenager who was lying across the twisted tree roots. Removing her wand from her sleeve, the matron moved it down the length of Severus' body. Several times she paused and cast a low incantation before continuing her perusal.
"There are no broken bones. I'm going to move him somewhere less—" she gestured to the twisted roots, "—uncomfortable. Mobilicorpus!"
Stepping cautiously over the tree roots, Madam Pomfrey lifted Severus to softer ground. Hagrid shrugged off his greatcoat and folded it to place beneath the unconscious teenager. She lowered Severus and knelt beside him, then began peeling back his robe. The Whomping Willow shivered and then settled, the magic holding it having dissipated.
"Headmaster, would you light the area for me?" she asked in a brusque, no nonsense manner.
"Lumos!" A light shone from the tip of my wand, bathing the witch and her patient in a warm, golden glow.
The witch moved her hands over his limbs and torso with great urgency.
"I see no evidence that Mr. Snape was infected by—" she spared a glance at the tunnel, "—Mr. Lupin. He has no bite marks but some rather nasty cuts, probably caused by the werewolf's claws. He has a severe contusion on the back of his head, and some rather horrible ones on his torso and limbs."
I fretted about Severus' lack of consciousness, though a weight lifted from my shoulders upon learning he hadn't been bitten.
"Why hasn't he….?" The words faltered on my lips. Hagrid placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
"Shock and pain, plain and simple, Headmaster," the school matron replied. "Let's get these two boys back to the castle. James looks a bit peaky, and Severus will require close observation."
"Minerva, escort James to one of the guest rooms; he is not to leave or have visitors," I stated firmly to the witch.
If anything untoward had happened, I didn't want any hint of complicity between the boys.
My deputy headmistress directed James forward; he walked without real steadiness, tripping over his own feet as he moved. Madam Pomfrey had lifted Severus into the air and guided his body toward the castle. Her feet were sure as a mountain goat's, moving lightly over the uneven ground.
Picking up the hem of my robes, I returned to the Whomping Willow. The dew lay heavy on the grass; hoarfrost would form during the night as the air temperature fell. Looking up at the pale yellow orb hanging innocently in the sky, I couldn't help but reflect upon how quiet the night air was.
Professor Flitwick's head emerged from the hole in the tree trunk. As the tree sensed his presence, it began to flail.
"Immobilis Arbor!" I called out. The great tree stilled again.
The silence was only broken by the rapidly fading sound of James' voice, speaking to his Head of House.
"..why'd he keep going on about having to get her out?"
There was still the suggestion of childhood in his voice, though he rapidly was approaching manhood. Professor McGonagall responded to him in a hushed murmur. My attention returned to the unconscious lad being moved up the hill by Madam Pomfrey.
Severus Snape was a boy who'd often frustrated and confounded me over the past five—no, almost six years. He was a bright child, eager to learn and more than eager to apply just what he'd learned. The child had a deep interest in the Dark Arts; he'd come to Hogwarts knowing more Dark hexes than most of the seventh years.
At the same time I suspect he had to fight for a position within Slytherin; the House doesn't take kindly to those with even a hint of Muggle blood. Most especially those who came from a financially depressed half-blood family.
Professor Flitwick, having climbed out from under the Willow, interrupted my introspective thoughts.
"I've placed young Mr. Lupin under an Iratus Fera Charm on the upper floor; he is aware but unable to move."
The professor looked in the direction of the Shrieking Shack before he turned back to the tree.
"Upon reflection, I think that there are additional Charms that we might consider to increase the security of the Shrieking Shack. Perhaps by extending the Arborus Vitatio to the very edges of the root system, and adding Inhibiting Charms to the ceilings, floorboards, walls, and fireplace we can seal any weak areas. Also, we can't go wrong bolstering the wards on the tunnel itself," Flitwick said as he ticked off ideas on his fingers.
"Poppy still needs to enter the premises after moonset," I reminded the professor.
"What about Charming her watch so the wards recognize her?"
"Her watch?"
"Poppy always has it pinned to her robe; I wouldn't doubt she pins it to her pink nightdress."
I found it difficult not to chuckle at the idea that Filius knew the colour of the school matron's sleepwear.
"True, I've never seen Madam Pomfrey without that timepiece," I agreed. "I will ask if I may add a Charm to it when I visit Severus."
"Was Mr. Snape badly injured?" Flitwick asked with rush of concern.
"Poppy doesn't believe that Mr. Lupin managed to inflict any bites on him, only claw marks. She believes he will recover."
"Still, the claws could cause a serious infection," Filius stated emphatically.
"Yes, that concerns me as well. She'll be able to look Severus over more closely now that she has him in the infirmary."
"What about Mr. Potter?"
"James? Our school matron said he is mostly unharmed. He had a bruise beginning to form where the tree struck him, but he is fine otherwise."
"Glad to hear he at least wasn't hurt seriously." His breath puffed white clouds in the night air as he drew his wand and gave it a small twirl. Royal blue sparks escaped from its tip.
Both of us moved in opposite directions about the Whomping Willow. Simultaneously, we raised our wands and began to chant. The tree shivered as the additional magic was absorbed into its living being.
Moving as one, Filius and I walked to the approximate edge of the tree crown. Understanding that the root system of a tree is as large as the crown, we cast a charm that would distract people from approaching the Willow.
Then our task turned to reinforcing the wards on the Shrieking Shack itself. Professor Flitwick dropped easily through the hole in the tree trunk. As I dropped more heavily into the tunnel, I was grateful for my spry companion's consideration; he illuminated the tunnel.
I cast the necessary charms to keep a transformed werewolf from escaping the long, earthen corridor. The Whomping Willow's roots poking through the walls still shivered from our reenforced magic.
Filius, being lower to the ground than I, suddenly dropped to a knee. His hand closed about a ten and a quarter inch hemlock wand; tooth marks marred the spell casting end of the slender instrument. The Charms professor held it out to me; I accepted Severus' wand and stowed it carefully within one of my pockets.
That hemlock wand meant a great deal to Severus Snape, of that I was quite certain. The many times he'd been sent to my office to retrieve his confiscated wand, I'd seen his keen eyes fixed on that magical conduit as it lay upon my desk. When I turned it over to him, his cold black eyes would soften and his hand would reverentially roam over the wood for any sign of damage. Imagination may have toyed with my mind, but I thought the wand warmed in my pocket, grateful to have been recovered.
The two of us approached the steps leading up into the Shrieking Shack. We didn't cast any charms on the stairs to contain a werewolf, as one could easily leap the distance to the packed earth of the tunnel without using them.
The hatch barring our way into the structure was shut. Flitwick kept his wand aimed at the wooden structure as I silently cast an Alohomora Charm and the lid lifted open. The quiet was deafening as we cautiously moved into the lower level.
Filius and I exchanged a glance and silently agreed to first weave additional charms on the level that held the werewolf.
Using our years of experience, we moved as stealthily as panthers up the creaky flight of stairs. The small landing had several doors opening off of it. With great care we pushed open the one door that hung from its hinges. With a finger to his lips, Filius crouched low and entered the room, his wand swinging in a constant search pattern.
Motioning me in, the small wizard had his wand trained on the still bound werewolf. This caution was what had won Filius many duelling championships—he never let his guard down. The creature's eyes were open and aware of our presence. The werewolf's nostrils flared out as it smelled the air. A whine emanated deep within its throat, frustrated to be contained when an easy meal was at hand.
The whine turned to a deep growl as the two of us cast more wards on the walls and windows. Aiming higher, Professor Flitwick creatively wove charms over the ceiling; the shimmer of his magic roiled down to meet those wards already on the walls.
Leaving the werewolf where he lay, we returned to the ground level to place stronger wards upon the structure. Filius Disapparated to the building's exterior to weave a charm of such a great sophistication that only the most skilled of wizard's could have created it.
Apparating back into the structure, Professor Flitwick looked up at me. "Will you keep him bound until moonset?"
Rubbing my nose, I allowed myself some moments before responding. "He might do himself great physical harm if he was released from the bonds. Yes, Remus shall remain as he is until the sun has risen in the morning."
My petite companion shifted slightly; he obviously had something he wished to say.
"I don't think Severus Snape would've recklessly entered the Whomping Willow if he'd known what he'd encounter," Professor Flitwick said with some hesitation.
"As a matter of fact, I suspect he knew what was here," I replied.
"You think he knew?
"Severus Snape is, if nothing else, a boy who likes to solve mysteries. The reason why Remus Lupin was ill or away approximately every four weeks wouldn't have failed to catch his attention. The real question is why James Potter was there with him?"
"Yes, why was Potter here with Snape? They hate each other!"
"True," I said.
"Yet he pushed Severus out from the Whomping Willow."
"I know," I responded pensively. "He was quite frantic about whether Snape had been bitten by the werewolf…"
Why had Severus entered and James followed? I asked myself. Both boys were highly suspicious of the other; I couldn't imagine James willingly following Severus without Sirius to back him up. Sirius!
"Filius, would you go to the Gryffindor common room and take Sirius Black to the guest quarters in Ravenclaw? I don't wish for him to have visitors or leave until I ask for him."
Professor Flitwick nodded his agreement and then looked at me speculatively. "Do you think we've secured this place enough?" he asked.
"It should do. I appreciate your clever wand-work," I said, feeling suddenly very tired.
"It was my pleasure, Headmaster."
I crouched as we walked back down the tunnel to the opening of the tree. Filius scrabbled up the roots and out into the moonlit night. Following him, I paused at the gap and looked across the countryside. The hillsides were sharp; bare granite poked through the scraggly groundcover. Further up, pine trees dotted the landscape. They were sentinels guarding the valley floors from the cold, harsh winter winds.
We walked slowly back toward the castle. The hem of my robe dragged across the ground; I was too tired to lift it.
The sight of the entry doors gave me a great feeling of comfort. They swung open as we approached, revealing the deputy headmistress. Concern and exhaustion coloured her movements as she walked out to greet us.
"It is done, Minerva. The wards have been strengthened."
Professor Flitwick left us to retrieve Sirius Black.
"Poppy has Severus in a private room," she informed me.
"And James?" I asked.
"Is in the Gryffindor guest quarters," she replied. "Do you want to see him now?"
"No. I've asked Filius to take Sirius to the Ravenclaw guest quarters."
The witch looked at me perplexed. "Sirius?"
"I should go to the infirmary and speak with Madam Pomfrey," I replied evasively, excusing myself.
Poppy walked over to meet me as I entered her domain. Her apron was spotless and very crisp; it crackled as she moved. Madam Pomfrey was always a sea of calm while those about her were in chaos.
"Severus is beginning to regain consciousness, Headmaster. He began crying out about five minutes ago."
My eyebrows rose on their own accord. "Could you understand anything?"
Walking beside me, the witch shook her head. "It was mostly gibberish—words strung together—not really anything definite."
We stood outside the room where Madam Pomfrey had placed the teenager. Looking in, it was obvious, to even the untrained eye, that something powerfully emotional was playing through the young mind.
"Have you attempted to wake him?"
"I thought it was best to wait until you'd arrived," she answered. The matron's posture was oddly defensive.
Slowly I crossed to the bed; Severus was moving about as though he was fevered.
The teenager's body thrashed restlessly.
"Severus!" I called more firmly. His motions slowed and his eyes cracked opened.
"Come on now." Poppy stepped in. "The Headmaster is here to see you. Can you wake up?"
Obedient to an adult voice, Severus struggled to rise. The matron pushed him back into the pillows she'd magicked behind him. The young wizard was very groggy and not fully in control of his limbs.
I realized this would work to my advantage; Severus wouldn't be defensive or wary of trapping himself with his words.
"How are you feeling, Severus?" I asked with genuine concern.
"S-sore," he managed to stutter out. I noted that the punctilious boy had dropped his usual chilly politeness. Normally, no matter how angry or upset Severus was with me or the staff, he was always unfailingly proper in addressing us.
"Did y-you get her out?" the Slytherin asked. He moved to stand, but winced and inhaled sharply. Both Madam Pomfrey and I eased him back to the pillows.
"Get whom out, Severus?" At that moment James' question popped back into my mind.
Iratus Fera Charm: Angry Animal

Would you like to see this be drawn?
I wanna draw a "Ted" themed Annie and Tibbers drawing. I wanna draw them doing exactly what Ted and Mark Wahlberg were doing on the couch on the movie poster with Mark laughing and Ted having a beer in his hand. I thought it would be an epic drawing that would be great on the Summoner Showcase. xD

Health and Wellbeing
is something that all of us wish to have.
How do we achieve this? Why does it seem so easy for some, and yet not for others?
Everyone has their own version of what being Healthy and having Well being in their life looks like. And it's different for everyone. This is what makes us unique, amazing and completely individual.
Sometimes we are so busy, conforming to what we believe is expected of us, or of what is 'normal' that we lose sight of what it is to be uniquely us. Sometimes we feel as if the answer we are looking for is right there, but just, ever so slightly and extremely frustratingly so, out of our reach. Sometimes we feel that we are just an 'extra' in this movie called Life, not living with any substance or direction.
If any of this sounds familiar, I am here to tell you that you are not alone, and the great news is, you have all the answers you need, you just need to be asked the right question.
That's where a Life Coach comes in.
A Life Coach is all about you. Where you are now in your life, where you want your life to be and how you will get there. By asking you questions that will challenge your current way of thinking, a Life Coach will assist in unlocking all the answers you will ever need, right from inside of you.
Having a Life Coach is not for those who want someone to hold their hand.
A Life coach is for the person who is ready to make some changes and is ready to walk the path less travelled. A Life Coach will walk beside you, ask you questions, questions that will challenge you, make you feel, at times uncomfortable and questions that, by digging deep and finding the answer within, will take you out of your comfort zone, which has now become too painful to remain in, and help you blossom into the person you know you were destined to be.
It's time to take responsibility, it's time to show some self love.
Life will never be dull again.

The Spanish club's striker Miguel-Angel Angulo has claimed there was an "agreement" between the teams to draw their clash in Spain last season.
The result saw both teams qualify for the next stage of the Champions League.
But when United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was quizzed about the claim following United's 1-1 draw with Chelsea, he said: "I know nothing about that. No comment."
The two sides met in the second group stage last season and, by the time United travelled to Spain, they had already qualified for the quarter-finals while Valencia needed just a point.
The game ended in a 0-0 draw.
"I just hope this match won't be like the last one when we 'agreed' to draw before the game," Angulo is reported as claiming on onefootball.com.
He added: "I guess this time will be different because there's a lot to fight for.
"It was to our mutual benefit to go easy last time," the 23-year-old claimed.
"But it won't be the same this year because there's a side like Panathinaikos breathing down both our necks."
United won the group and Valencia finished with the point they needed to pip Fiorentina for the runners-up spot.
Uefa communications director Mike Lee stressed the sport's European governing body would not be launching a formally enquiry on the basis of a report in the Spanish press.
He said: "If there is any evidence then that should be made available and we will look at it.
"Clearly the integrity of competitions is paramount and if there is any evidence we will look at it."

text: Not for distribution in the United States or to U.S. newswire services TORONTO, March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Sintana Energy Inc. (" Sintana") (TSXV:SNN) and ColCan Energy Corp. (" ColCan") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement dated as of March 12, 2012 (the " Master Agreement") providing for a business combination of the two companies (the " Business Combination"). ColCan is a private company existing under the laws of Ontario which is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in Colombia. Sintana is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in Latin America. The Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, and is currently expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2012. The principal purpose of the Business Combination is to combine the oil and gas assets presently held by Sintana with those owned or in the process of being acquired by ColCan in Colombia. Thus, it is expected that ColCan will provide the combined entity with working interests in four blocks - three blocks in Colombia's Middle Magdalena Basin (" VMM") and one block in the Llanos Basin (" LLA"): VMM-4, VMM-15, VMM-37 and LLA-18. Sintana will provide the combined entity with working interests in four blocks - three in Colombia´s Upper Magdalena Basin (Talora, Cor-11 and Cor-39) and one in Peru´s Sechura Basin (XXVII). The Technical Growth Strategy The addition of the above noted blocks pursuant to the Business Combination is consistent with Sintana's growth strategy which consists of acquiring blocks and/or working interests in such blocks that: (1) are located in proven oil-prone basins; (2) have prospects that have been previously overlooked or undervalued for specific technical reasons; (3) are in close proximity to infrastructure or the local market; and (4) where possible, have both conventional and unconventional liquid hydrocarbon potential. ColCan´s participation in the three VMM blocks will establish Sintana's strategic position in the VMM basin and will provide both conventional and unconventional resource potential. ColCan's interest in LLA-18 will mark Sintana's entry into Colombia's most prolific oil and gas producing basin. The Business Combination will more than double Sintana's Colombian land position, increasing its gross acreage holdings in Colombia from 331,000 acres to nearly 700,000 acres. Total gross acreage of the combined entity, including in Peru, will be close to 875,000 acres. Working interests for the eight blocks to be held by the combined entity range from 25% to 100%. In addition to Sintana's Upper Magdalena Valley exploration strategy with respect to its current blocks, the proposed Business Combination would help to further Sintana's desire for exposure in the VMM basin, which is the oldest oil and gas producing basin in Colombia, dating back to the 1918 discovery of the giant La Cira-Infantas field complex (900 MMBO). Historically, only the tertiary section (conventional reservoirs) of VMM has been systematically explored, and approximately 2 billion barrels of oil have been produced in VMM over the last century. Sintana sees considerable, additional conventional resource potential in the tertiary plays in ColCan's three VMM blocks. Block VMM-37 was evaluated in a National Instrument 51-101 resource report by Petrotech Engineering which shows recoverable conventional resource estimates ranging from 14 MMBO to 201 MMBO.

Sporting Kansas City announced on Friday the acquisition of 20-year-old American defender Brendan Ruiz from Brazilian club Figuerense and 19-year-old Colombian midfielder Jimmy Medranda from Deportivo Pereira.
Terms of the deals were not disclosed per team policy, but both acquisitions were completed before Thursday's MLS transfer deadline.
"We think Jimmy and Brendan are interesting talents and we look forward to seeing them continue to develop in Kansas City," said Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes in a press release issued by the team.
Medranda and Ruiz will be added to the roster once their P-1 Visas and International Transfer Certificates are finalized.
Medranda, who is officially on loan with Kansas City, will take up an international spot.
Ruiz, a midfielder-turned-defender, spent the last two years with the U-20 squad of Figuerense. Before moving to Brazil, Ruiz played for De Anza Force of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy.
Medranda is a youth team product of Deportivo Pereira. He joined the team's youth program as a 12-year-old and eventually made it to the senior team. Medranda made 19 appearances and scored two goals in the last two seasons for Deportivo Pereira.
What do you think of Sporting Kansas City's latest signings? Where do you think SKC needed to strengthen its squad?
Share your thoughts below.
Who? Sounds like depth and prospect signings. Everyone is loading up for the stretch.
So correct me if I'm wrong, but SKC now have a maxed out roster, right?
Definitely good for depth, but the current reserve league format doesn't leave enough room for the depth guys to get any PT.
Howso? They have been sending guys to Orlando City to get minutes and it seems to be working out just fine ?
Hello, and don't forget to visit Disney World when you are in Orlando.

UPDATE 1-Transcontinental must sell some papers in Quebecor deal
(Changes dateline to TORONTO from OTTAWA, adds background on papers and revenue, analysts' comments, share reaction, byline)
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO May 28 (Reuters) - Transcontinental Inc will have to sell 34 community newspapers to complete a deal to buy 74 Quebecor Inc Sun Media weeklies, Canada's Competition Bureau said in approving the transaction on Wednesday.
The two companies said in December that Transcontinental would buy the papers from Quebecor for C$75 million ($69 million), subject to regulatory approval.
Quebecor, owner of the Sun newspaper chain, is moving away from print operations in favor of growing wireless and Internet services. The newspapers being sold, which include 22 Sun Media titles, are weeklies in smaller communities across the largely French-speaking province of Quebec.
Transcontinental in some cases would have become the owner of two competing community newspapers in a given region, the competition watchdog said.
"In each regional market where the Bureau found that the transaction could potentially result in a substantial lessening or prevention of competition for advertising space in community newspapers, the Consent Agreement requires that at least one newspaper be offered for sale," the agency said.
Transcontinental has 60 days to find a buyer for the papers, many of which only launched in recent years.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Haran Posner said buyers probably will be smaller independents in the province rather than large national or foreign publishers. Continued...

We need to push on
"We need to keep pushing for the waste water treatment plant" - the words of Mayor Keelan, who was reacting the news that the upgrading of the waste water treatment plant may be put on hold.
"Orignially there were two contracts, one for the development of the new pipelines collection network that will now service 350 to 400 new residences now currently in the Carrick area; and one for the up grading of the water treatment plant itself.
"Both schemes were to run in tandem, with the end goal being the linking up of the new network, which would feed into the new treatment plant.
"The water treatment plant had been at or exceeding its capacity, partly due to large voulmes of waste water coming from Rye Valley Foods.
"They have since set up their own water treatment facility, which means that the old treatment plant is now well under capacity again.
"This now means that the upgrading of the water treatment plant on the Ardee Road is not quite as urgent as before, and has now been pushed down the line somewhat.
"As it stands, the plant has the immediate capacity to deal with the new pipeline network.
"Though as a council I believe that we need to keep pushing for a new plant, as looking down the line at new developments and future investment in the area, it will certainly be needed"
"Letters will be sent in the next month or so, so that these house can be connected to the new pipelines at a considerable discount. It will certainly happen before the end of the year," concluded Mayor Keelan.
The normal cost of connecting to the network would be a little over €3,000, but with the 50 per cent discount it costs just €1,500 to connect.

The city is first believed to have commenced around 1040BC. It had a very chequered history, having been established by the Amazons and since ruled by the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Alexander the Great, the Ottoman Empire etc. at various times. The city was for various reasons eventually abandoned, and over many years of earthquakes, dust settlement etc, the city was ...

THE Beatles are among the stars to have graced an iconic double decker bus but the search has begun to find the hundreds across the country who stepped through its famous doors in the 1960s.
Stockton Heath resident David Thrower, aged 64, bought the Leyland RTL double decker vehicle 30 years ago for £750 and has continued to restore it ever since.
The bus toured the country and made its way through Europe on a journey which helped accumulate numerous high-profile film roles.
It appeared in around 20 films including Ballad in Blue, I Was Happy Here and The Deadly Affair but the main claim to fame arrived in 1964 during the filming for A Hard Day's Night, starring The Beatles.
Sadly, the scenes were edited out from the final release, but all four members, who rode in the bus, autographed the upper-deck ceiling. The signatures were lost when the ceiling was repainted before the bus was converted to an open-top

The jacket worn by Ringo Starr in The Beatles' movie Help! is to be auctioned. Help! was the band's second feature-length film, released in 1965, and spawned the soundtrack album of the same name.
Now, Starr's double-breasted black woolen jacket from the picture is going on sale at Boston-based auction house RR Auctions. The jacket will go on sale later this month, with the auction running from July 16 to July 23.
No estimate has been given for the item's value.
Meanwhile, the auction will also see nearly 500 other items on sale as part of the auction house's Marvels Of Modern Music collection. Additional items include a 1971 letter from The Doors' frontman Jim Morrison and a guitar owned by the Ramones' Johnny Ramone.

Unpublished photos of the Beatles are increasingly hard to come by, but Alison Martino found a few taken in Los Angeles to twist and shout about.
My friend Laura Fleming and I were teenagers when we first pored over images of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr in her family's photo albums back in the '80s. I remember fixating on a snap of Laura's mother, Bonnie Cowan Fleming, getting chummy with Paul and members of the band's entourage at a garden party in Brentwood in 1964. She looked like Gidget in a polka dot dress from Jax boutique in Beverly Hills. Laura and I were so jealous.
Bonnie hadn't attended that garden party by luck. Laura's grandfather, Warren Cowan, was the cofounder of Rogers & Cowan, a publicity firm that once counted Hollywood legends like Paul Newman, Kirk Douglas, Natalie Wood, and Elizabeth Taylor as clients. The company added the Beatles to that list during the band's first trip to America.
Decades later—and with a little help from my friends—I'm thrilled to make the Cowan's family photos and the story behind them public for the first time.

It's one of the great dog-themed anthems of rock 'n' roll, but up until the last minute "Hey Bulldog" was supposed to be about a frog. It was early February 1968, as the Beatles were preparing for their fateful trip to India to meditate with the Maharishi. Pressed for time, and with a commitment for one more song to round out the soundtrack of the "Yellow Submarine" movie, the group decided to bang one out quickly. John Lennon had notes for a song he called "Hey Bullfrog" and brought the idea into the studio. Paul McCartney helped polish it up, and in one of their typical all-night recording sessions the band worked out a bluesy, no-frills arrangement—just the four Beatles playing together, with none of the psychedelic effects that characterized their work of the period.
During the session McCartney began barking to amuse his mates. Lennon got into the spirit of it, and soon the two were ad-libbing a crazed dog-and-master routine during the song's fadeout. They enjoyed the bit so much they decided to keep it in the final recording. To justify the inclusion of the impromptu horseplay, they simply changed the song's title from "Hey Bullfrog&rdqu details
One of the most significant moments in Walthamstow history was over in a flash for one young fan as she recalls the day The Beatles came to town.
The Beatles, a mop-topped four piece from Liverpool, were still just on their way to global stardom when they visited the Granada cinema in Hoe Street, Walthamstow on May 24 1963.
The Granada, which could hold almost 3,000 people, had played host to many leading acts of the period including John Coltrane, Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly but the excitement was palpable for the arrival of John, Paul, Ringo and George.
Tickets were 7 shillings and a six pence and had 4,000 fans, some queuing for over two days, held back across the road by police as the cinema continued to show films.
In the show with US support from planned headliner Roy Orbison, the band delivered a frantic seven-song set including, Love Me Do, From Me To You, Please Please Me, and crowd favourite Twist And Shout.
Newspaper reports at the time said that 24 girls were treated by the St. John's Ambulance volunteers for hysteria.

We've already glanced back at the albums that defined 1985 and 1975.
So let's turn back the clocks another decade!
Nineteen hundred and sixty-five was when many of rock's titans began to take off creatively, transitioning from brilliant hit makers into true artists who changed the rulebook as they went along.
This was still in the era when major artists were expected to release an album every 10 months or so, meaning that many artists took not one but two enormous creative leaps in 1965.
First and foremost, of course, was the Fab Four. They began the year with the soundtrack to their whimsical classic, Help!. On Help!, you could hear the first seeds of John Lennon and Paul McCartney staking out their own, equally brilliant musical grounds, with Paul's timeless ballad "Yesterday" and John's world-weary "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away."
On Rubber Soul, they took their taste for boundary-pushing to a new level, dipping into Eastern music for the first time on Lennon's astounding "Norwegian Wood" and psychedelia on the spellbinding "Nowhere Man."

Unpublished photographs of the Beatles taken on their first trip to America in 1964 have gone on show for the first time.
Collector Edward Adams, 55, has picked 20 images from his library of more than 1,000 candid shots of the band by photographer Joe Allen.
They were taken during the first of the Fab Four's two trips to America in 1964, which sparked Beatlemania across the country.
The collection details how the Beatles — John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney — arrived in New York on February 7 on Pan-Am Flight 101 before playing concerts on the East Coast.
The photographs show the band performing on The Ed Sullivan Show, relaxing on a yacht — lent to them in Miami by furniture tycoon Bernard Castro — and playing in the sea.
They are also pictured meeting Muhammad Ali, then still known as Cassius Clay, at the Fifth Street Gym in Miami where the boxer was training.
Other images show McCartney and Harrison on a train from New York to Washington DC, after their flight was cancelled due to snow, and the band chatting and laughing with female fans.

EPSTEIN: THE MAN WHO MADE THE BEATLES is a window into the private world of Brian Epstein, the music entrepreneur whose stellar career as The Beatles' manager made him a household name, yet whose controversial personal life remained the purview of only friends and close business associates.
This two-hander play imagines this brilliant but troubled man's drug-fuelled final days whilst looking back upon his illustrious adult life and meteoric career from his drama school days to managing the world's biggest pop group. Epstein died in 1967 at the age of 32 of an accidental drug overdose.
Epstein first discovered the Beatles in November 1961, during a lunchtime Cavern Club performance. He was instantly impressed, and saw great potential in the group. After being rejected by nearly all major recording companies in London, Epstein secured a meeting with George Martin, head of EMI's Parlophone label. In May 1962, Martin agreed to sign the Beatles, partly because of Epstein's conviction that the group would become internationally famous. In 1997, Paul McCartney said, "If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian."

A number of John Lennon fans and vinyl collectors were irked recently when the copy of his solo album Rock 'N' Roll that was included in a box set was defective. Universal Records has announced intentions to replace all of the faulty copies.
Lennon was released as the first box set to feature all eight of the former Beatle's solo albums in one vinyl collection (not including his work with wife Yoko Ono). Those who jumped right in quickly found that Rock 'N' Roll, his 1975 LP, was flawed. It wasn't just that the disc was damaged but that it had been pressed incorrectly: The track "Sweet Little Sixteen" was played twice on the album, which meant that "You Can't Catch Me" wasn't included at all. Universal Music set up a website for fans to switch-out the faulty version with a working one.

The three strange Lennon-McCartney hits that went to No. 1 without Lennon or McCartney—and what they tell us about the secret to recording a smash.
Fifty-one years ago this summer—in late June 1964—the No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot 100 pop chart was a Lennon-McCartney composition. Only it wasn't by the Beatles, and John Lennon had nothing to do with it. It was a Paul McCartney–penned song recorded, and taken to the chart summit, by a British duo named Peter and Gordon, one of whom was McCartney's would-be brother-in-law.
Seventeen years after that, in late June 1981, the Hot 100's No. 1 song also sported Lennon-McCartney writing credits. Only neither man had anything to do with this song, a disco medley of covers—mostly Beatles tunes, though not entirely—by a Dutch studio collective calling itself Stars on 45. Lennon and McCartney weren't even singing on the record; their vocals were covered by a bunch of sound-alike Dutchmen.
The fact that these two singles rank among the only non-Beatles, Lennon-McCartney compositions to top the chart—ever—says something about the quirky place the Fab Four's catalog holds in the America details

The graphics processor that is part of the Snapdragon 810 SoC, the Adreno 430, was benchmarked and took home the highest scores from the GFX Benchmark site. The Snapdragon 810 chipset was powering the MSM8994 development board with a display featuring a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K).
The Adreno 430 finished first on every test and overall beat out the Adreno 330 which was inside an HTC One (M8) running the Snapdragon 801 SoC. In third place was an ARM Mali-T760 that was employed by a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. A Galaxy Note 4 powered by the Snapdragon 805 chipset, featuring the Adreno 420 GPU, was next followed by the PowerVR GX6450 GPU found in the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus.
Barring a rush job by some publicity seeking manufacturer, the LG G Flex 2, which is scheduled to be released a week from tomorrow, should be the first phone on the market to sport the Adreno 430.
