A/N: not abandoning menat, just hard editing 6-7 chapters, going back and forth. Hope u'll indulge me tho for uploading the other fanfics ive already started writing. Please. :)
oooops. reedited. failed to make myself clear. h/g have never been together in this fic.
Chapter One
Harry stood up at once at the sight of Elphias Doge as the doors to the room opened. He had been pacing around like crazy in the parlor room of the house. It was the only place he could think of to bring Hermione and the rest of the Malfoy Mansion hostages. It was a good thing that at Bill's wedding, Doge had offered Harry come to him, should he need help, and gave him the address.
At first, he didn't realize the extent of Hermione's injuries. But when she failed to turn up at Dobby's burial, he began to worry. He had first-hand experience with the Cruciatus curse, and knew its effects. He tried to search his memory if Bellatrix Lestrange cast another curse, far deadlier, on her, but all he remembered was the Cruciatus. He asked Luna and Dean, and both said the same thing. It seemed it had affected her far worse than normal. It had been hours and he had been anxiously waiting for word of her condition.
"How is she?" Harry asked anxiously.
Doge however held a hand up for Harry to remain quiet. He turned around and closed the doors behind him before turning back around and walking to Harry, stopping right in front of him.
"Miss Granger is safe," he said.
Harry was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Doge spoke again.
"And so is the baby," Doge added, with a hint of disapproval in his voice.
It took a while for the word to sink into Harry's brain. For a moment, it seemed he had forgotten what the word "baby" meant.
"Baby?" Harry asked, completely dumbfounded.
"The baby Ms. Granger is carrying," Doge said gruffly. "We can only thank her quick-thinking and intelligence to cast the spells on herself that would protect her baby before you were taken by the Snatchers. Still, an hour more and it would have been too late – for both of them." Doge noted the dumbstruck look on Harry's face. "I take it you don't even know that she's pregnant?" Harry could only shake his head dumbly. He was unable to form a single coherent thought.
Doge eyed him reprovingly. "Mr. Potter, whatever were you thinking? This is no time at all for you to be having children! Don't you know people are risking their lives to support you? And you go around playing house…."
"But I – I –" But Harry didn't know what he was, or what he was supposed to have done. Hermione's pregnant? And then the image of Bellatrix Lestrange sticking a knife in Hermione's throat, the drop of blood forming on her neck, rose into his mind. Hermione's screams as Lestrange tortured her with the Cruciatus curse resounded in his head, sharper and more jarringly with this thunderbolt of a knowledge thrown at him. Hermione! Harry suddenly felt the need to see her at once, make sure for himself that she…and the baby… were alright, though he had no idea exactly how to do that.
"I am deeply, deeply disappointed in you, young man. And Dumbledore said you're a good lad – " Doge was saying, but Harry was no longer aware of it. His feet turned towards the door, then he rushed to the bedroom where he knew Hermione was brought in.
He found her, eyes closed, a hand gently lying on her stomach. Doge's house-elf, standing nearby, eyed Harry with the same disapproving glance as her master had given him. But Harry ignored it and waited for her to leave the room. Then he walked towards the side of the bed where an empty chair stood. He sat down carefully, trying not to make a noise.
He watched Hermione's face, guilt rising up his stomach. There were beads of cold sweat still on her forehead and her lips were dry and cracked. She was extremely pale, and now he realized she had been looking like that for the past several months now. How could he not have noticed? Though he dimly remembered Doge saying the baby was alright, fear still gripped him. When he and Hermione were battling Nagini and ran away from Voldemort, she was already pregnant.
She must have felt his eyes on her, because soon enough Hermione opened her eyes. She looked blearily up at him.
"The baby…the baby…" she said. Her voice was very weak.
"The baby is safe," said Harry gently. "You musn't talk, Hermione. You have to get your strength back."
Hermione smiled weakly. "It's not his fault," she said.
Harry closed his eyes, breathing deeply, trying to quell the rush of anger that suddenly seized him. He was in no mood to talk about it now. But when he opened his eyes, Hermione was sleeping again. She only had strength enough to ask about the baby and defend its father.
Thereafter, Harry and Luna took turns watching over her. Thankfully, Doge kept quiet about Hermione's pregnancy and presumably ordered his two house-elves not to say anything to Luna and the others. Casting the protection spells on her baby had taken quite a toll on Hermione though, making her much more vulnerable to the Cruciatus Curse. It took her a week before she woke up again. He and Hermione didn't have much chance to speak after that, for they were never alone. Harry always made sure that there was always someone else in the room whenever he came to visit her.
As soon as she was well enough, Harry then spent most of his time outside the house. Ostensibly, he was making sure the Death Eaters were not casing the estate, even though it was under the Fidelius Charm, but really, he was just trying to avoid the other occupants of the house – particularly Hermione.
Doge's house stood on top of a hill overlooking rolling lands and green fields. Harry soaked in the peaceful view, sitting on a stone outcrop. This high up in the area, there was a cold bite to the wind and he huddled into himself, hugging the mug of tea in his hand.
He was angry with himself, regretting that he did not know enough to do this job. He should have prepared himself more, studied harder, so he didn't have to rely on anyone. It was not as if he did not know that, eventually, he would have to face Voldemort.
He was angry too at his best friends. Didn't they know that they were fighting, not just for their own lives, but for the rest of the country as well? Good for them that they still found the time to make a baby while he, Harry, couldn't allow himself to be with anyone or even want anyone. Since the night he heard the prophecy in Dumbledore's office, he did nothing but prepare himself for his eventual confrontation with Voldemort. He had to steel himself from the loneliness and jealousy he felt when seeing other boys of his age able to date freely. Girls are a distraction that led to an early grave - for himself and others. Still, no matter how angry he was with Hermione, how could he possibly lash at her in her condition and after her recent ordeal?
He contemplated the last days. How he had no choice but to run after the Horcrux in Gringotts now. He thought that given a chance, he would always choose the Horcrux, and let Voldemort have the Elder Wand. But how would he know? Perhaps he was just making sweet lemons of the entire thing.
He took a huge sip from his mug and gulped down the bland tea. Then he felt someone approaching and glanced back – Hermione was walking towards him, wrapped from head to foot in a thick woolen blanket. Harry turned his attention back to the fields. Hermione sat tentatively beside him, wriggling to arrange the blanket round her more comfortably. Harry, all this while, was a wall of silence. It took Hermione sometime to draw enough courage to say anything.
"Why haven't you been coming to see me?"
Harry kept silent, his jaw muscles working. He replenished his mug with hot water, and took another sip.
"Are you mad because Doge thinks you're the baby's father?"
Harry gave her an annoyed look. It was the least of their problems. He angrily flicked the remaining contents of his cup to the ground and then Vanished the mug. He then stood up and turned to face her fully, looking at her steadily. Hermione shifted nervously under her blanket.
"How long have you known?" said Harry quietly.
"As soon as he left. I suspected it might happen, given the dates*. And… we failed to use protection…"
Harry grimaced. Too much information.
"I'm sorry. We didn't mean to. It just happened," Hermione cried hurriedly.
"Don't give me that crap, Hermione. Nothing 'just happens'. Stubbing your toe on a pebble, that just happens. A car accident, that just happens. Making a baby? That doesn't just happen, Hermione. I was always within hearing distance of the two of you."
"I'm sorry, alright! I said I'm sorry! It's not like I wanted things to end up like this. But R–, I mean, he was having a hard time with the Horcrux and all. And I was just trying to comfort him, and I don't know, one thing led to another and –"
"Hermione! What were you thinking?" Harry immediately cut her off, not wanting any more details. "Voldemort is after us! He's after you! Now that the Death Eaters know you're with me…" Harry cried, throwing his arms in frustration.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Harry rubbed down his face. He kicked a stone at his feet quite forcefully. "God, Hermione! You know I can't do this alone. As much as I hate to admit it, I need you. But how am I supposed to hunt for the Horcruxes alone now?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know I can't allow you to come with me anymore. I'd have to search for the remaining Horcruxes by myself."
"You can't!"
"I know I can't! But I don't have a choice, do I?"
"Harry – "
"You have to stay here, but not for long. Every suspected member of the Order is being watched. You can stay with the Weasleys, if you want. They'll be able to protect you more."
Hermione wasn't enthusiastic about the idea. She and Ron were not exactly in the best of terms at the moment. And what would the Weasleys say if they found out that both she and Ron walked out on Harry? Mrs. Weasley would never speak to her again. And she wasn't too fond either of the thought of herself running around the Burrow with huge bat-bogeys flying out of her nose.
Harry was watching her expression. He looked away, sighing exasperatedly. "Perhaps I can ask Kingsley or some other Order member to get you out of the country quickly, maybe join your parents in Australia."
"Harry, you don't mean that!"
Harry turned to her angrily. "How can I bring you with me, Hermione? Tell me how?"
"Do you think I would be safer if you leave me behind now? You yourself said that the Death Eaters already know that I'm with you. If they hear so much as a whisper of my whereabouts, they'd surely come after me straight as they would come after you, even if it's as far away as Australia. Our safest bet is if we stay together."
"Hermione, you almost died! Just now! You and the baby!"
Hermione looked frantically around, making sure there was no one around. Belatedly, she cast the Muffliato spell around them. Then she turned back to Harry, trying to reason with him. "Harry, if they find me without you, how long do you think they'll keep me alive?" she asked. "If you leave me behind now, it's the same as you casting the Killing Curse on me yourself."
Harry threw her an angry look. "Don't guilt me into bringing you with me, Hermione. I already have too many deaths on my head."
"Then don't add mine to that list, Harry. You need me," she said, tears on the verge of falling from her eyes. "And my baby and I need you," she added, looking up at him through her wet lashes.
"That's a low blow, Hermione, and you know it," he said coldly. He turned his back to her and stalked back into the house. "I hate Ron," he shouted as he walked away.
Hermione though only felt enormous relief: She knew she had won the argument.
The Great Hall stood ringing in stunned silence. Harry looked down at Voldemort's lifeless body. It was finally over. He turned to the room, at the spectators, but his eyes only searched for Hermione. The others, still too stunned at what had happened, at how swiftly the war ended when just minutes ago, their situation seemed desperate, held back. His classmates, the Order members, and certainly the Weasleys had been picking up a weird vibe from him. He was different, somehow. He seemed distant and talked only to a few people – Remus, Kingsley, Professor McGonagall, but the Weasleys he kept at a distance, not even glancing his best mate Ron's way. It was apparent the two had a falling out.
Of all the people in the room, Hermione alone ran towards him, both her arms outstretched. Harry embraced her wearily, extreme fatigue threatening to overwhelm him. Then he pulled back, looking into her eyes.
"Are you okay?" he whispered, but they both knew what he was really asking about.
"It's fine. It's safe. We're both okay."
Harry wasn't satisfied though. They needed to find a Healer and find a Healer fast. They'd been running around England for several months now. How many times had she been hurt, and she hadn't seen a midwife once? Hermione was intelligent, but she was no Healer, and she couldn't very well self-diagnose, could she? They had to make sure the baby was safe. The words of an elderly wizard and his house-elves did not count.
Harry conjured a travelling cloak and put it over Hermione's shoulder, pulling up the cowl over her head. The people in the Great Hall were watching them both, noting the intimacy. Harry gently took Hermione's hand. "Let's go," he said.
Ron was watching all these. And though he seethed with jealousy, he mastered himself. "Harry, wait!" he shouted and ran towards the two standing in the middle of the Great Hall. Harry ignored him. "I said wait!" said Ron.
Harry kept on walking, but Hermione tugged his hand back. He obeyed its silent wish. Okay then, let's hear what he's got to say, Harry thought to himself. He waited a beat for Ron to make his case, still not looking at his best mate. He was too angry to say anything. He could hardly bring himself to look at Ron, let alone talk to him.
"I'm sorry!" Ron blurted. "I didn't mean to walk out on you like that. I'm sorry!" But he had never been good with apologies. And didn't Harry always forgive him? Even without him uttering a single word?
Thus Harry waited. But a long silence ensued: Ron seemed to have lost his verbal steam.
That's it? If the idea of Remus running out of his pregnant wife was abhorrent to Harry, the fact that a pregnant Hermione had to risk both her and her unborn baby's lives searching for the Horcruxes, directly in the path of death, was unforgiveable to him. The memory of the times Hermione had been put in danger in the last months came to him again, including being thrown about by Nagini and almost being consumed alive by fiendfyre. And then came other memories – of Dumbledore being thrown off the Astronomy Tower, of Sirius falling into the Veil, of his dad dropping like a stringless marionette to buy his mum and him time to escape – and his anger flared up anew with fierce vengeance. He blamed Ron completely, that he was forced to bring a pregnant Hermione with him, to save his life as much as to save hers, for Ron being such an insecure, sorry excuse for a human being.** He now realized that Ron did not deserve Hermione, that she would be better off with someone else. In his anger, Harry's grip tightened on Hermione's hand. She made an involuntary start. Harry glanced back at her. She looked afraid, a few strands of her bushy hair spilling out of her hood. He turned back to her and tried to reassure her by gently tucking the wayward strands under the hood of her cloak.
"Harry –" she whispered quietly, pleading with her eyes at him under her cowl. Her face was completely hidden from the rest of the people watching them.
But Harry's anger could not be appeased. He ignored the silent plea. "Are you ready?" he asked instead. He took her hand again and started to pull her out of the Great Hall.
"Wait!" cried Ron hurriedly. "Where are you taking her?"
The two stopped and turned back to him again. But then Ron's eyes landed on Harry's hand, still holding Hermione's. Seeing the closeness between the two, Ron felt suddenly unsure of himself. Did he just imagine Hermione's feelings for him? What if she hated him now? He didn't know how to go about setting things to rights. But he wanted more than anything to stake his claim on her. In desperation, he cried out the only thing he could think of, the one hope he clung to all these months: "She loves me! It's me Hermione loves. Not you!"
He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. He watched Harry as his best mate slowly turned to him, looking at him for the first time since he arrived at Hogwarts that night. He was taken aback at the look Harry gave him. He never thought that he would see such an expression of deep loathing on Harry's face directed solely at him.
"And that is her misfortune," Harry said, his voice wintry with cold derision. Then Harry pulled Hermione again, leading her decisively out of the Great Hall.
It would not be until three and a half years later that Harry, Hermione, and the rest of her family would be back in England again.
*Hermione was referring to her menstrual period. Lol. Sorry.
** Harry is very angry. ;D
A/N: about the recurring theme of Harry leaving UK and returning some years later in this and my other fanfics. (Yeah, there's one other coming. XD) It's just im not very comfortable with a 17-16 y/o H/G falling deeply in love. I feel that give the two 6 months to a year, and H/G would inevitably fall for each other. But I feel that the attraction would be mostly physical – G is supposed to be this passionate, red-headed, beautiful girl in love with Harry. And Harry, well, Harry is a young man. And sometimes, for a guy, there's no other impetus for attraction other than having a Y chromosome. XD. so of course, there's not much of a story in that, hence the enforced separations. But the similarities would end there – I hope.
(This note will be posted also on my profile page so I won't have to write it again. If a fic shows harry having been gone 3 years, u know the reason. ;D)

|This is a discussion on How to quit when ahead within the online poker forums, in the Cash Games section; Any recommendations on when to quit when your ahead
i usually set a certain amount that im going to leave the table at. unless i feel there is real money to be made there. (ex. a bunch of donks)
I usually stop during a good session when i feel myself getting ****y. If I am running well but i feel myself become looser than i should I leave the session because I am on a high but a bad one cause I am playing lucky not skilled.
Last Night I actually stopped because my BR reached 333. and 3 is my favorite number and who can beat 3 3's. But I was close to stopping anyway because i was starting to justify playing hands like 9//K which is not part of my game. So I left YAY!!!
re: Poker & How to quit when ahead
its not a dead set mark.
just when i seem to have reached somewhere near there. i tell myself, ok lets not lose all this and i take off.
You need to change your thinking a little bit. Try quitting when you are not playing your best poker, not necesarrily when you are ahead. One major reason is when you are winning you have a strong table image and are more confident in your abilities. If you feel you have positive expectation at the table then stay seated.
A couple of thoughts.
First why are you playing? Is it strictly to build a bankroll or to pick up some spencing money? Or is it as entertainment? That's how i view the game online or a brick and mortar. I look at the money I put on the table the same as I would spend on a movie and diner ect. But I do set goals when I play.
The best advice I've heard was from a live interview Danial Negraneau did a few years ago. And keep in mind he started doing this at small stake ring games when he first turned pro. HE believed in setting a time limit. Thus he felt it didnot matter about where you were at in an individual session. He looked at it as a job of course. Thus this approach may not be right for you. But setting guidelines about loses is important. I like several others don't personally like the idea of "win this much" and leave the table. Many do this live. Matter of choice I guess. I do like setting time limits on play though.
leave when ur down
why would u want to leave when ur ahead?
if ur ahead it means 1 of 2 things, maybe both
1)ur getting extremely lucky
2)ur playing really good and ur concentration is total there
do like ivey, play less when ur down and play more when ur up
say ur avg seccion is 2 hours, if ur losing cut it down to 1 and if ur winning, extent it to 3
For me it's easier to quit when I have planned when to quit before joining the game, using quantitative measures that affects my earning potential. The "feel" method should be the way to go, but I'm not yet confident about my discipline to determine quitting using the "feel" method
- If a table gets too rough / tight compared to other tables of the same limit, i.e. when its VP$IP ratio becomes one of the lowest, then I'd switch to another table. This you can avoid playing in unprofitable settings
- If I might be on tilt, i.e. showdown percent exceeds 15% or see more than 35% of the flops
- In real casino, it'd more difficult as I don't see the stats. There I'd leave if I earn / lose 50% of buy-in
Quit when ahead
Just doesn't appeal to me to quit when I am ahead, although, it is probably better to do so. But, how do you determine when you are ahead enough to quit? A time limit is very good, I have found. Usually, 2 - 3 hrs will be enough. Do not play when you are tired? Your concentration is low and you will not be at your best. Also, I have found not to try to play more than one game at a time is better.
Long time friend and live table player once made a comment that stuck with me, and seems to be true. Don't know the logic, but I no longer play 1. hungry or 2. with Mother Nature calling. Take that break to take care of 'other' business.
One of the things that always make me wonder about length of play is the number of people who play drunk or stoned. I can't find a book anywhere that addresses alcohol or smoke improving skills and decision making.
GL on the flat screen felt.
Well, if you are playing a money table, and you are ahead, leave the table and bank, and come back and buy in with the original amount that you bought in with. Keep doing that and try not to lose... hehe... Anyway, I see people go to a table, triple their money, and instead of banking and coming back they end up losing everything..
re: Poker & How to quit when ahead
The hit and run is certainly an easy strategy online. I think setting time limits is a more reasonable and effective way of doing it for a couple of reasons.
1. If you are at a really soft table why leave especially if they keep rebuying.
2. If you ever do play live poker this is a more reasonable way of managing yourself.
3. You will learn to play through the swings that happen naturally. if you lose a big hand early then after your two hours have broken even or turned a profit will help you as much as getting a huge win early and then playing as the big stack at the table.
Just my thoughts FWIW
ex: I played the .10/.20 tonight for an hour and made $13, then quit. I hit the "leave table" button to do so. It may not seem like much, but it's better than being down. So give it a try, when you're ahead, that "leave table" button should be clickable unless your mouse is broken in which case you'll be timed out and you can let the site kick you out, lol.
you can sit out until the site kicks you out, then you can reenter with whatever you want. I found that to be true with the site i use.
re: Poker & How to quit when ahead
Never, ever leave the table based on the amount you've won or lost unless you have lost a set portion of your bankroll (about 10%). You should base your decision on the table. Is it a profitable table or not? If it is profitable, play more. If it is not, leave.
If you feel you can beat the table (and you have made an honest assessment of the players, your skill, your current state of mind, etc.), then stay, even if you have lost (unless you've lost more than you can afford).
If you feel the table is getting too tough, you can't beat the table, etc., you should leave, regardless of how much you have won.
When im winning I usually leave the table and hit up a lower stake to protect my winnings. At least I can lose that much there.
When Im down, I'd recomend moving up a level or two in order to win back faster. The players on the higher are easier to beat than the low level donks, and I love chasing my losses.
This system has never failed for me yet. Oh anyone know when the Bodog freeroll pzzword is being posted ?
I always leave once I start making bad decisions, mostly which are after I got a bad beat. Also like previously stated, it sucks playing when you're tired. You are more eagle to gamble on a draw and dig yourself in a whole than when you're fresh and eager to play.
I usually like to bank after making 4x my buy in whatever the game. If you have to sit out for a half hour (I know that's the case on full tilt). no biggie. Leave the window open and watch for a bit then rejoin with the original buy in and you can keep your winnings plus stay in a great money game. Way better than getting up 5 or 6 times your original buy in and then being busted by a crazy loose player or a bad run of cards.
Establish a floating stop-loss just like you would for trading stocks. Once you have exceeded an amount that you believe you are capable of winning at a given table, establish a floating stop-loss; such that if your chip stack falls below that amount, then its time to leave. Figuring out what you should make your stop-loss is a personal thing. For a conservative player, the stop-loss will be a very small fraction of the over-all chip stack, while a looser player will establish a stop-loss that will be a larger portion of the over-all chip stack. The good thing about this is that if you continue to win, your stop-loss will move right along with you,but if you start to loose, it will remain fixed and once you've crossed it you should leave.
If you are faced with risking a large portion of your chip stack in a single hand, evaluate the strength of your hand and contrast that against the possibility that you might be outdrawn. Then decide whether you want to walk away with a profit or risk that profit based on the possibility that you might win the hand.

How does .mobi break the principles of device independence? --WikiFan04Talk 1:47, 29 Jul 2005 (CDT)
- It creates a separate class of addresses for machines based on what kind of device they are. One of the original characteristics of the internet was that it didn't care whether your computer was an IBM mainframe, a Unix system, a DEC PDP, or a toaster: as long as it communicated via TCP/IP, nobody else needed to know or care what kind it was. Tverbeek 10:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- If I understand the .mobi proposal correctly, I don't think it's intending to classify what sort of device is at the .mobi address itself, but what sort of device is intended to be able to access the material provided at that address -- in other words, it's for Internet services accessible on and optimized for mobile users. This concept, however, seems like it's best provided either by HTTP content negotiation at the normal address of a site (so the same address can serve content optimized for normal browsers or mobile devices depending on what is supported and preferred by the device; there is a standard HTTP request header to indicate this, and I believe the mobile browsers in use now actually do get this right) or through the adoption of a standard hostname / subdomain for mobile sites (just like "www" indicates a Web site and "ftp" indicates an FTP server) so it can be set up within an existing domain. Having a separate TLD for it makes no logical sense. *Dan* 12:08, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
- It doesn't. The content served up by a mobi site is in standard xhtml and will render on any device. Using a dotmobi address simply assures that user that the content will be usable on any device including a mobile one. That is not the case for any other domain : they may or may not work or mobile devices, and often do not, and do not promise to.
- The term device-dependent has been widely misused in relation to mobi, confusing the term in the domain with the device used to access to the site. A similar misleading argument would be to say that a .tv domain is device dependent, which is clearly nonsense. Many use the tv domain to indicate video content, but the site coding is in no way restricted to televisions: it is once again in standard xhtml.
- Device independence as a principle and goal is intended to ensure an internet that can be uniformly accessed, ie on any device, and to do this coding standards are set up and later revised by the W3 consortium, though not always observed. It can be argued that websites using Javascript are device dependent since the Javascript does not work on most mobile devices at present. --Weedisfun (talk) 11:21, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Criticism and warning from Berners Lee[edit]
World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee has criticized a plan to create a new Top Level Domain (TLD) for mobile devices, warning that a new .MOBI domain will break device independence and separate the Web into two parts.

Which organisation and by what means is going to enforce the type of content is put on the .mobi websites? This is not yet clear from the article at the moment.

Here is a good read for you tregworth at digg in regards to deleting the .mobi only search reference of an interactively educational custom search for wikipedia users by the above loosely titled spamming spam eliminator...
Wikipedia is full of corruption reminds me of the time i posted about the mobionly search engine (it doesn't get any more relevant) to the .mobi page, and then this editor comes in and revamps the whole entire page deleting mobionly.mobi and continued "seoing" it towards mtld.mobi and even plugging it with anchor text as "dotmobi". it still exists this way today as I don't even bother.

Premium names only, regular Mobi users mean nothing to us...[edit]
Although .mobi boasted that they were going to be different it is business as usual. The only sites that will be strictly enforced as far as standards will be those Premium names that ".mobi" has chosen to sell to the highest bidder. In other words the company with the deepest pockets will win. This is Mobi's idea of a level playing field?
To quote Pinkard Alan "Pinky" Brand, Director, New Markets, dotMobi (mTLD Top Level Domain Ltd) "There is also no requirement that any specific type of content be published, except there may be certain content obligations and restrictions placed on selected dotMobi Premium Names that we expect to allocate in 2007 and 2008."
The promise by dotMobi in its inception was that is was going to be different than the "dot.com" fiasco. They stated in their early press releases and company information that they would not allow domain squatting, and standards governed by W3C would be enforced across the board. Now after all the registration has been done and the money collected they have amazingly back peddled and allowed the speculation to continue. BREAK Let the greed continue...

Should Wikipedia adopt a new in-line template?[edit]
You can use the .mobi emulator to see how a .mobi website displays on a mobile phone. This comes off as linkspam, but it's one sentence in a larger section that's not an external links section. I wouldn't want to put up a {{spam}} or related template there... Morgan Wick 10:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Disadvantages argument[edit]
"This domain (.mobi) will have a drastically detrimental effect on the Web."— Tim Berners Lee
- This is another opinion, not a fact, so it's not an argument for a "disadvantage" of .mobi.--22.214.171.124 21:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
You could then argue any quote is an opinion. The fact is TBL is a very credible source. There are many other Wikipedia articles with quotes. Should they be removed to? Hendry 11:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Small screen devices should be "targeted" with a handheld CSS media type. Encouraging markup targeted at mobiles goes back to bad old days of WAP. [1] It didn't work then and it won't work now. Hendry 18:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for expressing your opinion Hendry, however, this is an encyclopedia so please keep your edits unbiased, objective, and factual and always maintain an NPOV. Please refrain from posting your opinions and original research in Wikipedia articles. For more information, please read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Please continue to contribute to Wikipedia within these guidelines.--188.8.131.52 15:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Dot mobi is all about making money selling their premium domains. See their Flickr stream [2] for a better idea of their competences. Hendry 11:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- User Hendry is openly biased against .mobi and is continuing to vandalize this article with his negative personal opinion. Please discuss potential edits here before changing the article.--18.104.22.168 18:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
How is my contribution under disadvantages "personal opinion" User:220.127.116.11? I've cited and reasoned. Perhaps you should instead concentrate on the advantages section? You're openly biased against the important fragmentation issues with dotmobi. Hendry 11:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hendry, please do not accuse other users of being biased simply because they are removing your openly-biased statements. If the advantages section contained parts that were based on a user's personal opinion, I would remove them as well. You asked how your contribution is "personal opinion" so I am going to show you. You state, for example, that "dotMobi promotes the bad practice of embedded (non-separate) presentation for an entire Top-level domain." Since you do not provide any citation for why this is considered "bad practice", it is your personal opinion. By stating that it is "bad", you are also not maintaining an NPOV and are clearly biased. Your bias is further evidenced by your comments above where you stated "Small screen devices should be "targeted" with a handheld CSS media type. Encouraging markup targeted at mobiles goes back to bad old days of WAP. [1] It didn't work then and it won't work now...Dot mobi is all about making money selling their premium domains. See their Flickr stream [2] for a better idea of their competences." You also state in the article, "However since web browsers (Iphone's Safari (web browser) or Web Browser for S60) on both devices share common rendering engines such as WebKit, the difference is needless to make." How does sharing common rendering engines change the fact that on the average mobile phone, a web page designed for a PC will not display well or at all? It doesn't, and you are simply using this to continue your bias. Finally, you state "CSS media queries [10] should give Web designers the ability to target mobile devices if they so need." Your citation of CSS media queries points to a W3C initiative, but you conveniently leave out the fact that the Mobile Web Initiative .mobi is based on is also a W3C initiative. Who are you, sir, to say that one W3C initiative is better than another? You cannot have it both ways. So I will repeat my request again, as others have done, that you refrain from adding your personal bias and opinion to this article. You have made your point clear that you are against .mobi, however, Wikipedia articles are not an open forum for you to express your personal opinion on matters. You have lost credibility with regards to .mobi since you are not able to edit this article objectively and have a clear agenda. I have therefore removed your edits. --126.96.36.199 17:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I will try find a 'NPOV source' to back up the "bad practice" statement. Can you back up your statement: "a web page designed for a PC will not display well or at all?"? I don't think dotMobi has any W3C mandate considering TBL's article. Hendry 20:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hendry, when editing Wikipedia articles, you are supposed to find facts, and then state them with proper citations. Instead, you state personal opinions and then go data mining to cherry-pick select "facts" that support your personal opinion. That's not the way to edit articles. You have lost all credibility in this matter and I will be carefully watching your edits of this article. I have also removed your edits once again. Do not bother adding them as they will be immediately removed. Regarding my statement that most .com sites are not viewable on mobile phones, here are 5 quick examples on a Nokia N70 (emulator software by Yospace.com): Citibank.com (doesn't display), CNN.com (doesn't display), YouTube.com (very difficult to navigate), BMW.com (unnavigable), PG.com (displays incompatibility message).--18.104.22.168 21:28, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I think you've cherry picked the sites and the UA (emulator). Hendry 11:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Are you saying I cherry-picked the largest US bank, the largest News organization, the largest online video site, the most famous car brand, and the largest Consumer Goods company in the world? Your fervent bias is clouding your judgment. View those sites in any emulator you like (or directly via your mobile phone) and you'll see that the results won't change. In fact, check out most .com sites via your mobile phone and you'll see that they simply do not display correctly. I've undone your edits yet again. I'm also putting in a request for this article to be locked by an editor since you insist on vandalizing it with your biased personal opinions. I will also refrain from discussing changes to this article with you since it is a waste of time and you clearly have an agenda.--220.127.116.11 15:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I took the time to test those sites [3] and they all work with:
- Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Symbian OS; Series 60/0633.18.02; 9730) Opera 8.65 [en]
- SymbianOS/9.1; U; en-us) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413 es65
Of course things like Flash which aren't Web standards don't work. Anyway, this is side issue. Can you prove to me that dotMobi has any W3C mandate? [4] CSS media queries is the standard how you should target handheld devices. Not by buying a dotMobi domain. Hendry 20:24, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Those are not your average mobile phone browsers. The average mobile phone user does not live in Finland. Do you understand that most mobile phone users are in developing countries like China, India, and Brazil and do not have the latest mobile smartphones running Opera Mini? Regarding dotMobi and W3C, I quote: "Our guides are based on the work of leading mobile companies as well as participation in standards bodies like the the W3C Mobile Web Initiative." Regarding your statement that "CSS media queries is the standard how you should target handheld devices. Not by buying a dotMobi domain.", again, that is your biased opinion. Like I said before, we're not making any progress here, you have failed to make your point, so I am done wasting my time with you.--18.104.22.168 23:13, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
You could argue that most mobiles have WAP browsers and you'll probably be right. However there is a clear trend that the Web is being fully supported by handheld device UAs. Just because dotMobi says they are part of the MWI, doesn't mean dotMobi is an W3C recommendation of some sort! W3C is more credible here and they recommend media queries. I think the W3C's "bias" deserves a say in the disadvantages section. Hendry 17:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- W3C is more credible? Uhm, dotMobi is a "supporter, sponsor and active participant" in the W3C Mobile Web Initiative (source), so that directly conflicts with what you're saying. If W3C was against .mobi, why on earth would they allow them to support, sponsor, and participate in their Mobile Web Initiative? You can't have it both ways. Stop trying to push your agenda, this isn't the place for it. --126.96.36.199 02:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Anyone can pay to join the W3C, though it doesn't mean they are towing W3C policy and best practice. Hendry 10:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Sir, I've been following this discussion closely and have studied the history of your edits of this article. Your bias against .mobi is clear and you are projecting that bias in your edits. Please refrain from editing this article further. Thank you.--JackGershman 18:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC) — JackGershman (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
You have the bias. I've tried to improve the accuracy of this article and you revert any additions to the disadvantages section. Even from other editors! Hendry 19:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Third opinion requested[edit]
A third opinion has been requested on this dispute. I'd be happy to help provide a third opinion and guide everyone to a consensus. However, I'm not really able to determine what content each of you would rather see in the article -- it's largely a great deal of bickering and accusations of bias. If this is to be effective, I need a concise explanation of what the dispute is, so I can help. --Darkwind (talk) 00:05, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- I requested the 3rd opinion as a particular user keeps reverting edits to the disadvantages section of the article. There are number of issues and I've tried to provide as much evidence as possible to verify the arguments. Though perhaps I'll break them into individual points if I can dig my edits from the history. Hendry 10:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- What gets removed can be easily seen by diffing Hendry and JackGershman edits. The points I think should be added to the disadvantages sections are:
- Mobile and Desktop browsers typically share the same rendering engines, so there is no need for special device dependent markup
- Separated style sheet using CSS media queries is the "best practice" of targeting mobile/handheld devices, instead of again writing device dependent markup
- Hendry 13:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. I see one main "set" of content that's being added and removed continually. Hendry (t c), the way you've written that content seems like it's specifically written to provoke an argument (although I doubt that was your intention), and it doesn't surprise me that it's been removed more than once, although I would personally have rewritten it rather than outright removing it. Phrases like "promotes ... bad design" could be written much more neutrally. Also, the sentence "Therefore dotMobi practice of recommending different markup content for mobile devices is not needed as they will be rendered the same" is entirely too much of a blanket statement, as well as being bad grammar. That sentence ignores the fact that many mobile devices, limited as they are by a small screen size, NEED different content presentation regardless of whether they technically have the ability to render a full-size web page designed for desktop users. Smaller images, shorter pages, etc., make the mobile browsing experience smoother, and the sentence I quoted ignores that aspect of the debate.
- However, that doesn't mean that the points you're trying to make are completely invalid. How about a rewrite instead? I was originally going to write up and post a suggestion for the disadvantages section by itself, but then I realized that there's criticism of .mobi spread throughout the article already. In order to maintain a coherent, NPOV article, I think the whole thing needs to be rewritten. There are already places where it reads like someone went through and rearranged paragraphs randomly without paying much attention to the results. I'll work on a rewrite today, post it in my user space, and link to it here when I'm done, so we can get some consensus. --Darkwind (talk) 19:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Have a look at User:Darkwind/.mobi rewrite and let me know what you think. I've done my best to include all of the material from the article as it stands, as well as Hendry (t c)'s points. However, I didn't use the term "best practice" in regards to CSS media queries, since the reference you cite is still in CR status, it's not even an official W3C recommendation yet. --Darkwind (talk) 19:41, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Just had a quick look, thanks for the effort. I prefer the adv and disadv sections split up. Also I am worried by statements like "unsuitable for display on a mobile device without adaptation". Adaption usually mean "content adaption". The point I am trying to make it that *content* need not be modified for delivery on mobile/handheld devices. I hope that's clear. Content must have it's integrity and presentation can be tweaked with style sheets. Hendry 13:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, see, that's where I disagree with you. I agree that textual content generally needs no modification to be presented on a mobile device; however, in my opinion, graphical, interactive, and other resource-intensive content frequently is completely unsuitable for display on a mobile device and needs significant modification or adaptation in order to be displayed. This in many cases may require that the modifications are performed by the content publishers directly (for example, visit tacobell.com; if you want to see their menu, you have to use Flash. If your mobile device doesn't support Flash, the only possible feasible adaptation would be for Taco Bell to create a non-flash textual version of the menu, which is presently not available.)
- Regarding the advantages and disadvantages sections, it's hard to maintain NPOV if you insist on a strict separation between the two (as one cannot rebut the other in a natural flow), but it is possible if you want to work at it.
- Overall, though, I think this is getting far too in-depth for what I was trying to do by providing the third opinion in the first place. I'll bow out at this point. --Darkwind (talk) 22:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks Darkwind for trying to help out. Content modifcation by the browser/UA is OK. That's a good strategy by Opera Mini Beta 4. Though, let me stress again that content modification by the Web page author is **bad**. It leads to all sorts of fragmentation issues. dotMobi in reality encourages authors to modify content for the mobile device. Hendry 08:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Article cleanup[edit]
Recently, Hu12's minor cleanup was reverted (twice). These changes did not dramatically affect the article, other than to remove content that doesn't meet the external links guideline. (For example, there is no reason to have an inline external link to the National Arbitration Forum when an internal link exists.) Looking at it more closely, there is a lot of content that fails other guidelines as well, such as the copy for each sponsor. Please don't just revert again; instead, post your objections on the talk page so that we can clean up the article properly. Thoughts? --Ckatzchatspy 00:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
mTLD global registry[edit]
What use is it to have a company not exist and the registrar not exist if there is a requirement for that? Why are the beginings of these pages linked to something that does not exist? These are questions that confounded me. How is this verifiable information if these key structures of ICANN do not exist? I am putting Citation Needed on this copy. Mnemnoch (talk) 03:53, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
.mobi is BULLSHIT[edit]
Seriously, what the fuck?
- An anonymous person's cursing commentary about their opinion on this TLD is not particularly on-topic for the discussion section for a Wikipedia article. *Dan T.* (talk) 02:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
.mobi as browser default[edit]
The article states that, "There is a possibility that mobile phone manufacturers may in the future default their mobile internet browsers to .mobi".
While it is true that this possibility exists, there are also a great number of other possibilities that aren't mentioned. For example, there is a possibility that mobile phone manufacturers may in the future restrict their mobile internet browsers to accessing only .mobi domains. In the future, anything is possible - however unlikely.
Which mobile phone manufacturers, in .mobi's 5 1/2 years, have actually implemented this default? Which manufacturers are currently discussing this publicly as something they want to do?
Unless this possibility is actually a likelihood, I suggest it be removed. MedianOne (talk) 02:35, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Apple was forced to offer a free fix after consumers complained and numerous media outlets reported a problem with dropped calls.
Mark Papermaster, Apple's senior vice president of iPhone and iPod hardware engineering, is leaving the company, according to Apple spokesman Steve Dowling. Mr Dowling would not comment beyond a brief statement or say whether Mr Papermaster was fired or was leaving voluntarily.
Mr Papermaster's departure comes weeks after Apple announced it would give free protective cases to buyers of its latest iPhone model to alleviate the so-called "death grip" problem - holding the phone with a bare hand can muffle the wireless signal.
The antenna problems were a rare glitch in Apple's rollout for a new product.
US magazine Consumer Reports refused to recommend the iPhone 4 and called on Apple to compensate buyers.
Diehard fans of the Apple's products have dubbed the stumble "antennagate".
Bob Mansfield, Apple's senior vice president of Macintosh hardware engineering, will assume Mr Papermaster's responsibilities, Mr Dowling said.
MrMansfield oversees groups that components for the iPhone and iPod touch, including the A4 chip, Retina display and touch screens.
MrPapermaster, who came to Apple in 2008 from IBM, could not be reached for comment.

Porsche DP and GT Teams Survive Soggy Start - Rolex 24 Two-Hour Report
Brumos Porsche Riley 11 Seconds Behind Race Leader in Tenth Place; #71 TRG Porsche Leads GT with #23 Alex Job Racing Porsche Second
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida - January 30 - With 25 minutes run under yellow to disburse the water that had collected on the track from an early afternoon downpour, the 48th running of the Rolex 24 at Daytona has finally settled down at the two hour mark.
The #59 Brumos Porsche Riley, started by Darren Law and now being driven by David Donohue, is tenth overall, 11 seconds behind the leading BMW Riley being driven by Scott Pruett. In the GT class, the TRG Porsche 911 GT3 Cup leads with Spencer Pumpelly driving a double stint, while Martin Ragginger has done the same in the #23 Foametix/Battery Tender Alex Job Porsche, currently running second.
The field took the green flag under yellow as many portions of the infield course were flood due to a steady rain which started about two hours before race time. The cars completed five laps under yellow, during which time the rain stopped completed and the puddles disappeared. Both the Porsche DP and GT teams were cautious at the start, falling into the lower part of the top ten during the early laps, but they have settled into a good pace throughout the second hour.
The #59 Brumos Porsche Riley has stayed with the lead pack since the start, with Darren Law at the controls, and has run as high as second when David Donohue took over the driving duties after 90 minutes.
The #67 TRG/Flying Lizard Porsche, started by Patrick Long, and now being driven by Joerg Bergmeister, is fourth in GT and closing in on the BMW Riley of Bill Auberlen.
There are scattered showers predicted for the next few hours, but the weather should clear by midnight (race hour nine), and the overnight and Sunday should be clear, but colder.

5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
I.B.T.Prez.On Subs- Middlebury, CT
Dr. Brown was the only doctor I trusted with my life. From the moment I spoke to him I had that six sense that he was the man to get the job done. Also, I did a ton of research online and all of his work looks natural. His staff are amazing and they make you feel like you are apart of a team.

Dr Brown is highly skilled, good at what he does, very gentle and is the best in the area! I wouldn't go to anyone else!!!
3 out of 5 stars Thigh Lift
Thigh Lift Middlebury, CT / New York NY
Dr Brown has always been calm, polite, soft spoken & tells me how wonderful my surgery looks. Early on, after surgery, he was great about draining fluid from my thighs with a needle (once a week for 4 weeks) . Now, 6 months later when I try to discuss what I think needs to be fixed, I feel like he doesn't really listen. I am going to go back to office tomorrow for another office visit so we can discuss & be very clear on EXACTLY what will be fixed. The 2 Drs i got a second opinion from said they do not charge for revisions like mine because they want patient to be happy. I am wondering what the other doctors online here would say...after looking at my pics...would they charge me for a revision?
5 out of 5 stars Belly Button Surgery
Dr. Brown is Amazing! (Abdominoplasty and Thighplasty After 160 Pound Weight Loss) - Middlebury, CT
I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Brown and his staff. I elected to have a fairly significant surgery after losing over 160 pounds through diet and exercise, and throughout the process, he was extremely informative, reassuring and knowledgeable. He made the entire process much less overwhelming than it would have been otherwise, by always taking the time to answer questions, thoroughly...

I am four weeks out of surgery and couldn't be happier. I'm seeing huge results and can't wait to see the finished product. I went to consultations at several different establishments and this was the one that I had the best feeling. As a surgical tech I asked many questions to see if Dr. Brown would stumble over any answers, and he didn't even hesitate over one. He is knowledgeable,...
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reduction
A Butterfly Has Emerged!
I am so happy with Dr. Brown. He and his staff have been unbelievably wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone going for this procedure, for sure! I have had a very worry free recovery, for the most part, but I did call the office with a concern and they quickly had a nurse on the line with me. She answered my question very professionally and courteously. Other than that, I haven't had to contact him via email or phone, so I can guess that he would have been very quick to respond, based on the experience that I've had so far.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Revision
Amazing - Middlebury, CT
I have been a faithful patient of Dr Brown since 2003, I started at a young age to prepare for the inevitable aging process. He is respectful and caring about a womens needs to look youthful and healthy! Over the years, he has worked on my laugh lines and eyes as well as my body, and I am completely HAPPY. He is a wonderful man and performs small miracles

As a member of the board of directors of Glacial Lakes Energy, I traveled to Washington, D.C., May 7-9 to meet with congressional officials to highlight the important role ethanol plays in reducing our dependence on foreign oil and revitalizing the American economy.
Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis and I took part in a series of meetings with bipartisan Congressional delegations from South Dakota, Vermont, Delaware, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maryland, Connecticut and Massachusetts. American ethanol supporters discussed the current state of the industry and stressed the importance of protecting the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), our nation's most successful energy policy to date, and increasing market access for E15, a fuel blended with 15 percent ethanol. We emphasized how the RFS has bolstered South Dakota's economy by encouraging the growth of the American ethanol industry.
I was pleased to join several other ethanol supporters in Washington to meet with Congress about our nation's energy security and future. America's energy independence, economic prosperity and communities like ours are moving forward, thanks to the renewable fuels industry. These face-to-face meetings with our lawmakers are an important opportunity for them to hear directly from their constituents about the issues that matter most.
During these meetings, we met with staffers for Sens. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt.; Tom Carper, D-Del; Frank Lautenberg, D-R.I.; Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.; Tim Johnson, D-S.D.; John Thune, R-S.D.; and Ben Cardin, D-Md.; and Reps. Christopher Murphy, D-Conn.; and Kristi Noem, R-S.D., and clarified misinformation on the ethanol industry, and reiterated how the RFS has helped Glacial Lakes Energy. We stressed that our nation's fuel supply needs to change from E10 to E15 for several reasons: to help lower the cost of gas at the pump, help reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, and help bolster our local communities and economies.
It's crucial that our representatives in Washington understand the benefits of ethanol – that it creates jobs in South Dakota, keeps gas prices down and contributes to our rural economies. During this time of skyrocketing gas prices, ethanol is the only tool our nation has right now to help reduce prices at the pump. It's essential that we work with our lawmakers to take the steps necessary to maintain the RFS and to get E15 and other ethanol blends into the marketplace. American consumers deserve a choice at the pump.

"I don't think I ever walked off the practice field here, saying, 'We're finally close to where we need to be.'"
That assessment proved correct. The Vols' 2008 offense is one of the worst in all of college football. Through 11 games Tennessee ranks No. 96 among the 119 Div. 1-A programs in rushing (115 yards per game), No. 105 in passing (149.9 yards per game), No. 116 in total offense (264.9 yards per game) and No. 114 in scoring (16.36 points per game).
"Is it part personnel, part scheme, part a new coach? It's probably all of those things," Clawson said. "But I don't think at any point, as an offensive unit, we had confidence going into a game ... or even into a scrimmage.
"It was very apparent to me all spring that the defense was a lot better than we were on offense. That held up the whole spring, through camp and it held up through the season. We never had a scrimmage that we just went up and down the field or that we didn't have a critical turnover in the orange area. Those things just don't disappear through the course of a season. You don't just hope they're going to go away."
Head coach Phillip Fulmer, forced to resign in part because of this team's offensive shortcomings, said several factors were responsible for the Vols' scoring woes.
"The change in systems was harder than I ever imagined it would be; it slowed things down considerably," Fulmer said. "Then we never really got on the same page from a passing game standpoint. It might be the linemen not protecting well, it might be a route run, it might be a dropped ball or it might be a back not protecting well or it might be a quarterback not reading it out and taking what was given. There's just all kinds of things that have been an issue. Even with all of that, we should've been better than we were offensively."
As broken as the offense is, the head man believes he could've fixed it had he been allowed to return for 2009.
"I do think if you give a little time to adjust to the staff, adjust to the system and make whatever changes you needed to make, we would've had it right back on track," he said. "I do believe that."
Fulmer said he recognized Tennessee's offensive shortcomings in Game 1 against the defensively challenged UCLA Bruins. The Vols scored 24 points that evening but seven came on an interception return for touchdown in a 27-24 overtime loss.
Just how woeful the UT attack was became obvious when the Vols squandered repeated second-half scoring opportunities in a 14-12 Game 4 loss at Auburn. The low point of the season, however, occurred when Tennessee mustered just one score in a 13-7 Homecoming loss to Wyoming.
"UCLA and Auburn – if we win those two – and then the Wyoming game, we're sitting here playing for our eighth win," Fulmer said. "Say what you want; that's the truth."
Clawson said he simplified the offense considerably as the season wore on in an effort to help the players grasp it.
"My thing is, if you're struggling and not doing well, it's always better to do less than do more," he said. "We pared it down to a point that we're a lot more predictable than we'd like to be and a lot more one-dimensional than we'd like to be. When I took the job, certainly, what we're doing now is not what I envisioned this offense looking like. When you struggle, that happens."
Incredibly, the offense made no noticeable progress from Game 1 to Game 11 – an occurrence that befuddled Clawson and doomed Fulmer.
"The disappointment," Clawson said, "is that we haven't had more improvement."

January 30, 2012
In a relationship there are many milestones to cherish: the first kiss, meeting the parents, saying "I love you" … and of course that first vacation together. Here are some tips and destination suggestions to help you plan a fun holiday in Blissville.
For Travel Newbies: San Diego
For those of us who live in and around L.A., a trip to this beach city is a toned-down home away from home. You can stay on the beach or in the Gaslamp District; go shopping at Fashion Valley or go to a baseball or football game. From Coronado Island to Balboa Park, there's more than enough sights to see, museums to tour, and cool eateries to try out. This day trip is ideal for couples who are sports fanatics, those who want to get away without emptying a savings account, or those who don't want to do too much traveling.
Blame It On the Alcohol: Wine Country
Think Napa, Temecula, or maybe even Bordeaux. These locales are frequented by people who love the sensuality of the senses. Wine tasting is a skill and activity you two can indulge in together. Think about it: most other romantic getaways include cocktail hours and snazzy dinners, so why not learn something in the process? These wine regions are secluded and country-like which means you can stay at a bed and breakfast, and enjoy activities like horseback riding or golfing. Plus, when it comes to wine, pairing is everything, so this getaway ensures lots of romantic meals (think swanky restaurants and cozy picnics). Not to mention, you have a chance to score primo souvenirs…That's right, more bottles of wine! Who knows, you two may become such connoisseurs you end up joining a wine club or taking classes back at home. Wine tasting will provide you with a new way to enjoy each other's company at the table, become a more knowledgeable dinner party hosts, and be that cool couple who all your friends look to for recommendations on a good Merlot.

Bathing Suits Only: Hawaii
My parents went to Hawaii on their honeymoon, and while it is a bit cliché, there's a reason for it. Hawaii and its many islands are a romantic paradise right in our own backyard. If you are a history buff, you may want to travel to Oahu; if you love hiking you may want to journey to Kauai; if you love cruises and beaching it, you may want to consider a cruise around all of the islands. With romantic sunsets, breathtaking scenery, and mai tais galore, Hawaii is as relaxing as it gets.
The On the Go Couple: San Francisco
If you're a Made (City) Woman like me, gazing at a beautiful skyline is the epitome of a fabulous vacation. A cityscape is an especially appealing vacation if your home is in suburbia or in the country. San Fran would also be a good stepping stone getaway for those who want to get out of town, but aren't ready to ditch civilization yet. San Francisco is full of history, shopping, and many landmarks. It's also extremely populated, and that means lots of socializing. If you're a pair of social butterflies, this city could suit you perfectly. If you're an active couple, maybe a run across the Golden Gate Bridge is in store. Do you both love to shop? Then treat yourself to the stores at Union Square. Next, take in tourist attractions with a visit to Coit Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, or Alcatraz. You can walk around the city for exercise, take BART, or drive down Lombard Street (if you dare). Get in touch with 60's San Fran at Haight-Ashbury, or simply enjoy the night life of this contemporary city that has so much to offer. From Little Italy to Ghirardelli Square, there's something for everyone.
Lovers Abroad: Italy
This destination has always been a bit of a fantasy getaway for me. I just don't think you can go wrong with a trip to Europe, and to one of its most romantic countries no less. Take in food, art, wine, and culture. You can backpack across the country and stay in hostels if you both are adventurous (read: low on funds). Or you can stay at fancy hotels and shop in exclusive boutiques, the choice is yours. Askmen.com rated the top 10 couple's destinations, and Italy was on the list twice (Tuscany and Venice). This proves men want to go to Italy too!
No matter the destination, a good relationship is made better by agreeing on and planning a trip. The best advice I could give you is that you make sure the timing is right for a vacation together. Believe me, I've gone away on trips with boyfriends who I had problems with, and it never turned out well. Take your carry-on with you, not your emotional baggage. Time alone can give you a chance to get to know each other better, learn from one another, and allow you to make memories and decisions together. Strengthen your relationship and see the world? Sign me up!

Vocabulary in Jane Eyre
Vocabulary Examples in Jane Eyre:
According to the Bible, God punished the people of Babel for trying to build a tower to heaven by confusing their language abilities and scattering them across the Earth. This is one of the many biblical allusions in Jane Eyre, contributing to the theme of religion and Jane's changing relationship with faith.
Julius Caesar famously crossed the Rubicon (a river), initiating a civil war. Passing the Rubicon is understood as passing the point of no return. Up to this point, Jane has been hesitant to commit to her situation or her beliefs, as shown by her fascination with birds and her identification with Felix. Her confrontation with Brocklehurst is imminent, and the idea of a fixed event that she cannot turn back or escape from terrifies her.
Resurgam is Latin for "I shall rise again." Helen's death, as well as this inscription, further contributes to her characterization as a Christ-like figure, as Christ died but came back to life again before ascending into heaven.
"I am famished!"
"Madam, your dinner has been served!"
"What is it that you have, then? one of the rats says; 'Speak!"
"The Plot of the Rats: a fable by Jean de la Fontaine"
"Yes, certainly."
[French] "Is this my governess?"
It was assumed that educated people throughout Europe could understand French, so Brontë did not bother translating these passages. As a well-educated woman, she learned French in school and often wrote in the language in many of her novels.
"Raiment" is an archaic term that refers to clothing. Jane is underdressed for her occupation, and this sort of discrepancy between Jane's appearance and her identity occurs throughout the novel. Jane's small stature and plain dress often lead others to misjudge her.
"by the way"
"Hurry back, my good, dear friend, Miss Jane"
Latmos (Latmus) is a mountain in modern-day Turkey, with significance in Greek mythology as the resting place of Endymion. Jane is the perpetual dreamer, always wanting to be in any location but her current one. Her drawings are a, perhaps subconscious, projection of this desire.
"Isn't there a gift for Miss Eyre in your trunk, Sir?"
"This means there must be a present inside just for me, and perhaps there is one for you also, Miss. Mr. Rochester asked me about you: He asked about the name of my new governess, if she was short, thin, and rather pale. I said yes: because that's the truth, isn't it, Miss?"
"Didn't mother do it like this, sir?"
"Sir, I thank you innumerable times for being so generous"
"and my shoes? and stockings? Watch, as I dance!"
"What do you think of my dress?"
"this instant!"
"I must try it on!"
"and I care"
"little nun"
"Oh, heaven! Isn't it beautiful?"
"keep quiet, child; do you understand?"
"My box! my box!"
"small chest"
"manly beauty"
This literally translates to "wheel of a nobleman", but roué has a more subtle meaning. It refers to someone who lives a debauched lifestyle.
"My angel"
[Italian] "sweetheart"
"athletic build"
This Latin phrase roughly translates to "will-o'-the-wisp," referring to something that is deceptive or deluding. Jane compares it to loving Rochester, who is outside of her social class and her employer. Victorian societal norms would not deem them a good marital match, so she believes loving him would only be a waste of time. She cannot imagine marrying Rochester, so she tries to remain rational, renouncing her true feelings.
"Your fingers tremble like a leaf, and your cheeks are red: as red as cherries!"
"What's wrong, Miss?"
Sago is a starch harvested from the trunks of palm trees. It is native to the West Indies, and is popular in Caribbean cuisine as well. While it is eaten in Europe, it is not a popular ingredient. It is unusual, almost suspicious, that Grace Poole would eat sago.
"the beautiful passion"; love
This phrase has many possible interpretations. It may simply be nonsense invented when the Ingrams were children; however, an archaic meaning for "pip" is "ill humored," which could also be a possibility based on their opinion of Mr. Vining. "Pip" also suggests something insignificant or small. Whatever the meaning, it shows the Ingrams' lack of respect for those from lower social classes.
"a father of the theatre."
"Good day, ladies."
A French term of endearment for one who's attractive in an unusual way, whose imperfections lend to their beauty. It literally translates to "crumpled little face".
"These are magnificent flowers, may I take one, Miss? It would make my outfit complete."
"and then what a pity!"
"Of course, Miss: but we have not had anything to eat in five or six hours."
"When we had company at my mom's house, I followed the guests everywhere, from the drawing room to their bedrooms; frequently I watched the maids assisting the ladies with their hair or their clothes, and it was very amusing; I learned to mimic them."
"They are changing their clothes."
A "Mother Bunch" is a strong ale and can also be used in reference to a messy and untidy-looking woman who serves it. The term has a slightly derogatory connotation and reveals the upper class's negative view of Romani people ("gypsies") or any culture outside of their own.
"Look, Mr. Rochester has returned!"
Bridewell was formerly a prison in London as well as a slang term for any police station or prison. This scene may suggest that Rochester feels imprisoned by some dark secrets he may be harboring.
Jane's choice of words here reveals what she thinks about Rochester and Blanche Ingram's relationship. "[P]antomime" works as a sort of double entendre. The party is playing charades, but she also believes that their good relationship is only a performance, mere pretend. They only have give the appearance of being a good couple because of their social standing when it is really Jane who would be a better match for Rochester.
A type a smelling salt used to keep one from fainting or to arouse consciousness. Note Rochester's urgent tone and the tense atmosphere that calls for the use of salts.
Carthage is an ancient city located along Africa's northern shore, now the capital of modern day Tunisia. Jane assumes Rochester is talking about Blanche Ingram, but note how his description only vaguely resembles Blanche. Blanche has an "olive complexion" and "dark features", but she definitely doesn't look to be of African descent, making Rochester's statement suspicious.
"about to feast on her petite English mother"
"good evening"
"to give myself fresh air"
"besides, no fairies were included, and if there were"
"Fairy tales"
"a true liar"
"Oh, things will be very unpleasant and uncomfortable for her there!"
"[H]ypochondriac" relates to the condition in which people are convinced they are ill and in need of medical attention, even if they are not actually ill. Oftentimes, people with hypochondria suffer from actual symptoms, even if the illness is not actually present.
In the Caribbean, "Creole" refers to someone of European and African descent. This culture is rooted in a history of European colonization and African enslavement, and Bertha represents this. Rochester reinforces colonial cruelty when he marries her and brings her back to Europe, treating a real person like the natural resources colonists extracted from the land.
In this context, "scaffold" refers to a platform where criminals stand while they await execution. Despite the beauty that surrounds Jane at Thornfield as she covertly escapes, Jane's mind is occupied by the great pain she faces leaving Rochester, the man she loves. Again, Jane is uninterested in what is physically beautiful while more important matters present themselves.
[German] "As I weigh my thoughts on a scale, I realize that my temper and my behavior are weighted as heavily as my outburst."
[German] "There was only one individual who came forward, to be observed like a crystal clear night."
Brontë continues to give significance to place names. A marsh is soft, waterlogged land that can be difficult to traverse. "Marsh End" suggests Jane will find herself on firmer footing here, just as the ground at the end of a marsh would be more solid; it marks the symbolic end of Jane's journey.
Calvinism is a stricter form of Protestantism than Jane's Evangelicalism because it emphasizes the word of God above all else. Jane is lax about her religious beliefs, merely seeking to live a good life rather than follow specific principles. Though they can bond over religion, the differences in how devout Jane and St. John are have the potential to cause friction between them.
A peri is a Persian mythological creature, similar to a fairy and known for its beauty. Peris can either be benevolent or agents of evil. Rochester often referred to Jane as a sort of sprite or fairy, but Rosamond and Jane are not necessarily similar characters. Jane calls Rosamond a "peri" because of its potential for evil, which is directly linked to Rosamond's beauty that Jane had just described in great detail.
While Lot's family was fleeing Sodom as God was destroying it, the angel guiding them warned them not to look back. Lot's wife disobeyed and turned into salt. With this biblical story, St. John advises Jane to have faith in God despite her doubts. It's also significant that Lot's wife is unnamed. She is defined by her relationship to a man, dependent on him for an identity. This is what Jane has been avoiding, so St. John's comparison shows a disconnect between the two.
The 5th of November is known as Guy Fawkes Day. In Chapter 3, one of the maids at Gateshead likened Jane to an "infantine Guy Fawkes" for her rebellious behavior. As this Bildungsroman nears its end, this serves as a small reminder of Jane's troubled beginnings and how much she's grown over the course of the novel. Once hot-tempered and living in poor conditions, Jane is now more level-headed, independent, and has a space to call her own.
[Latin] "freak of nature"
Jane alludes to a section from the New Testament that refers to the apostle Paul's passage through Macedonia. He was one of the most prolific of the apostles, spreading Christianity as a missionary throughout the East and West. Jane suggests that St. John is a Paul-like figure whose stringent dedication to his faith Jane can't match. It is not that Jane's faith is wavering, but that she approaches Christianity with a more laissez-faire attitude.
Both of these refer to peasant, farmer women--although "paysannes" is French and Bäuerinnen is German. It is unclear if Jane is well travelled enough to have actually been to France and Germany to meet these women, or if she is simply exercising her mastery of several languages.
This comes from Genesis 2:23, which explains God's creation of woman from the rib of Adam. Jane's allusion suggests that her harmonious marriage with Rochester is heaven-sent and ordained by God. It is also a reference to how Rochester's physical condition allows them to recognize each other as equals.

The holidays are upon us, so we checked in with Tom Tangney and John Curley to find out how they were getting into the spirit of the season.
While one of them will be taking his kids around to judge the lights on houses tonight, the other doesn't need to get in the holiday spirit, because he's never gotten out of it.
