Membership is the heart of any organization. We would appreciate help, and ideas, on how to grow the membership here at DHC. Adding another moderator will help to run things on our side but we need help from everyone to expand our site. If you have ideas please pass them along. I would encourage all members to tell their friends, family, hunting buddies to log on and see who we are, become members. I still believe we are one of the best family, clean, full of ..... ideas, exchange of experience ect web sites. We need to get the word out. Thanks for your help.
Tell all your Hunting Friends, Relatives, Neighbors, In-Laws, Outlaws, etc etc etc,,,,
we've got a Free Pee contest going on, All they gotta do is become a FREE MEMBER and it's Just a simple Click and Win !!!!
I would suggest getting rid of the old guys. I mean, they are old! JOKING HM, don't break your walker! HA- joking again!
I think the DHC is great- I have often wondered why more people are not part of this site, but then again, I think there are some real experts here that help so many people. I know I have learned alot and it has only helped me in my hunting life as well as other areas. I also enjoy having the christian corner and the sports corners so that we can "open" up our true selves and not just talk about hunting all the time- not that that's a bad thing! Thank you HM and the other mods for making this site great! I do have to say I miss Buckfever- Mark was a great guy. But I'm glad the site was able to stay pretty much the same. I was scared there for awhile, but relieved it stayed true to an American past time.
Buckfever is still active here at the DHC, I don't see him leaving us anytime soon
but I'm guessing he has a lot of things going on right now and can't spend as much time with us here as he would like to
but I'm sure you're still going to see him popping in from time to time..
Tator you keyed in on an Important part of the DHC, we really do have a top-notch family atmosphere
and we do have Forums for members to participate in year round not just during the hunting seasons,
We are the ONLY hunting site to offer, what we offer, the Christian Corner is an added Bonus to the DHC...:ibtl:
Tator, don't get me started! I can spar with the best even at my age! We are fortunate to be able to converse in a forum like this where we can poke good fun at each other and share all of life's good, bad, and ugly. I hope we can get the word out to grow once again! I consider myself very fortunate to have some good on-line friends to share life with.
Amen HM, I consider you like a father figure.... .but in a grandfatherly way... :)
Tator you whipper snapper the UGLY part of HMs post is you LOL
I really think we can have the "Active Membership" we once had
Part of the problem is I just did a google search "deer Hunting Forum"
28 pages came up not one on DHC we used to be on the first page usually towards the top.
I have a few hunting buddies im going to try to get on.. one of the things i helped with another forum a few years ago was stickers..
about 5 years ago i started the NW club for Camaros and Vettes.. didn't get much intrest until we made stickers then people would walk out of malls and notice them or i would be driving and people would write down the site name.. i know it a little investing but some times if you want to get the name out that what has to be done..
Also i would leave buisness cards and stuff with the sites name and my user name.. that helped but not as much.
I like the site ALOT! for only being on here for almost 2 weeks i feel i can call this home. so i'll start throwing the word out here in the great state of WASHINGTON!
I have been corrected rightfully so we are still on the 1st page at the top
did not come up on google the first time I searched did the second
I am liking you more & more need more GM fans on here as well
lol thanks had a low 11 second camaro.. keyword "had" 4runner totalled it..

Looking For A Russian Bride?
Of course they would, a cynic would say, they are on assignment by the Russian mob, right? Again, Brier laughs, as he is used to hearing this parallel. "I have personally been to Russia 10 times, I know of over a dozen guys personally who have used this service, and never, ever have we had a single incident of a criminal nature."
This statement would not be hard to digest if the country he was referring to were Singapore, but Russia? Brier explains: "There is a crime element in Russia, for sure, that is why we did not go to Moscow or St. Petersburg, rather we went to cities that were large enough to offer plenty of women but were far away from the criminal activity." Where are these safe havens of babes? "We have offices in Siberia and the Ukraine, and we have women from those cities enroll in the service; we do not accept girls who simply send pictures, they have to go into our offices, meet with our staff and we take it from there."
He continues, "we have more American wives killing their husbands here, but when the time comes for Law & Order to think of storylines, they think of the Russian bride that goes after her husband." Another misconception is that the service is for 65-year-old men who want to marry 18-year-olds. "Truth be told, we mainly have regular, mainstream guys who have done their schooling, have good jobs but find that at 30 or 35 or 45, it is not so easy to find a good woman who enjoys the simple things in life."
how this service beganGetMarriedNow.com started out 6 years ago. But unlike most of its competitors, the firm was not interested in signing up 50 men and taking them to Russia so they could meet 200 women at some party. "Worst of all, those operators oftentimes charge $3,000 to $5,000 US for the trips. That doesn't work," argues Brier. What does?
When the company started, it would tape women on VHS films and sell these to clients. With time, they shifted to operations on the Web, digitized the videos and offered men the opportunity to contact the women. Brier is quick to point out that he does not make money off travel packages or anything of the sort, even though "we do help our clients with air tickets and hotels."
Still interested? Here's how it works...

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
|Stallworth now plays with an even better quarterback than his former tosser.(Courtesy of USATODAY.com)
Before March of this year, the only way New England football fans could know anything about wideout Donté Stallworth was if they were avid players of Madden. Since he was drafted out of the University of Tennessee as the 13th overall pick in the 2002 draft, Madden lovers have showed Stallworth love simply due to his 97 speed rating and low cap number.
In reality, Stallworth spent the first four years of his career in New Orleans where after a touchdown laden rookie campaign (8 TDs on just 42 catches), he endured three more underwhelming seasons in the Bayou, catching just 163 passes for 2,197 yards and 15 touchdowns. Hardly numbers the Saints were expecting from a top 15 pick. In 2006 Stallworth joined the Philadelphia Eagles and posted solid numbers (38 catches, 725 yards for an average of more than 19 yards a catch, and five touchdowns) despite only playing in 12 games.
The Patriots, in hopes of upgrading a sub-par 2006 receiving corps, surprised the league by signing Stallworth to a six year, $30 million contract in March. The usual financially stringent Patriots opened their wallets in hopes of finding a prime time wide receiver. The numbers of the deal are deceiving however, as a large roster bonus kicks in at the beginning of the 2008 season, thus the Pats could cut him after this year with little monetary punishment.
|Stallworth was labeled a disappointment during his four year tenure in New Orleans.(Courtesy of Philadelphiaeagles.com)
Stallworth is perhaps the most speedy receiver that Tom Brady has had during his tenure as quarterback. Though his overall numbers have been less than gaudy, Stallworth continues to wrack up large catch average yards (he twice had more than 19 yards per catch in a season) and is one of the best deep threats in the league. Stallworth has the raw speed and acceleration that cannot be taught.
His biggest problem in the past has been his propensity to get injured. In five seasons in the NFL, Stallworth has logged only two seasons where he appeared in all 16 games. He's been nagged constantly by small, lingering injuries and must overcome those to be an effective WR for the Patriots.
Paired with Randy Moss, Stallworth will frequently command double coverage from teams because of his deep, big play ability. He is blessed with a great gift and now – with the best quarterback he's ever played with – he should take the next step everyone thinks he can. His touchdown total will be small but his average and total yardage should be near the tops on the team. He is also useful in trick plays and reverses.
2007 Prediction
The trade for Randy Moss was great news for Stallworth. If he was the only big play wide receiver brought it he would have struggled because of his inability to get open on his own. His strategy over the years has been to outrun everyone. With Moss, Stallworth will see more one-on-one coverage and should improve his route running skills. His deep threat will open up the middle and short passing game. Like most of the other new wide receivers, his overall statistics will not prove how much he is worth to the team.
2007 stats: 60 catches, 940 yards, six touchdowns

New couples' vibrators are getting good buzz. Who says three's a crowd? Here's how to use sex toys together
If you spend time with your battery-operated-boyfriend only when your real guy isn't around, you're both missing out: Forty-one percent of women and men have used a vibrator during foreplay, according to researchers from Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion, and up to 37 percent of women and men have used one during intercourse.
The remote for the waterproof and ubersoft Tiani uses SenseMotion technology that lets you shift between eight modes by simply shaking your wrist or tilting your palm. What's more, the remote vibrates as he controls the patterns and speeds, allowing him to feel the same sensations that you do.
Vibe well together: Inserting the Tiani not only gives you double pleasure with clitoral and G-spot attention, but the vibration on the head of his penis feels amazing for him. If you're worried that both he and the vibrator won't fit, use some water-based lube.
$159, lelo.com
Hold the bulbous end of this rechargeable, waterproof vibe in your hand like a computer mouse and press the vibrating touch pad. The touch pad bends, allowing you to focus the sensation exactly where you want it.
Vibe well together: "Your guy is very much involved in the stimulation—the toy enhances it, but he's the one doing the work," says Lori Buckley, Psy.D., a sex therapist in Pasadena, California. And because the silicone is so thin, you can actually feel his finger pressing through the material. He can stroke your clitoris while going down on you, and he'll love the vibrating sensation on his perineum and scrotum as you give him oral attention. When it's time for the main event, place the larger end on your pubic mound so the vibrating end hits your clitoris.
$145, jimmyjane.com
When an engineer struggled to figure out how to use a sex toy with his wife, he decided to design his own—and the Ola was born. Unlike other vibrators, this one doesn't have any preset patterns; instead, you create your own pleasure pulse by stroking or squeezing the pad. The rechargeable and waterproof Ola repeats whatever you request and can be used for penetration or the ever-important clitoral stimulation.
Vibe well together: "This is like an extension of his hand, because he determines the way it stimulates you, so he'll feel more involved," says Buckley. Let him set a pattern and guide him (with words or moans) until he finds the beat you like best. Or slip it between your bodies during sex to target your clitoris. You can also use it on his penis and scrotum to give him a pleasing buzz.
$165, minnalife.com
This toy is truly his and hers. The egg-shape gadget splits into two vibrators: a convex one for clitoral stimulation and a concave one for cupping his testicles. Each is ergonomically designed to fit your hands perfectly and has its own set of buttons that increase or decrease intensity.
Vibe well together: The concave half may have been conceived with his sac in mind, but it also feels great on the butt, the neck, the head of his penis, and, uh, pretty much anywhere! "The cupping action comes in handy because most men say they love having their scrotum held," says Patti Britton, Ph.D., a certified clinical sexologist in Beverly Hills. "It is truly the most sensitive part of a guy's anatomy."

I have a 1948 buick 248 inline 8 that is all stock. I felt a loss of power and it started to knock while under acceleration. I pulled it in the garage, pulled the oil pan off and started feeling around and found that a rod was moving around on the crank. I pulled the cap off and came to find out there are NO removable bearings!! Heres the issue...none of the nuts were loose, everything was the way its suposed to be. I cant afford a complete rebuild im just looking to keep it running so the city dont say nothing...any help would be great Thanks Will
Buy some PlastiGuage and check the clearence on the rod. If the crankshaft is not scored or flat, and the rod is not beat out, you can tighten the rod with a flat mill file. You can lookup this procedure in an old mechanics manual for reference.
The crank is still good no scoring or anything, the bearing did have a little on it though. Heres my next question whats your opinion on replacing the rods and pistons only instead of doing a full overhaul on it?
You mean taking the rods and pistons from another engine or new rods and pistons?It can be done with used parts, if they're standard sized.Either way you will need a set of rings and gaskets. Have the valves done while the head is off. And you'll still need that flat mill file and plastigauge to adjust the rods. If they're too tight add shims between the cap and the rod. Refer to an old mechanical manual for this procedure.

Households across the south-east are facing the biggest increase in bills since the charge replaced the poll tax 10 years ago.
Tories claim this is down to changes in the way government grants - which make up about 75% of council income - are handed out.
A government minister on Friday dismissed this claim as "preposterous".
But Eric Pickles, the shadow spokesman for local government, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme it was true.
"If you look at what happened in London, there's been an increase of grant to Labour authorities of 5.6%, [but] an increase of grant to Conservative authorities of 3.7%."
He said the funding changes had effectively taken millions of pounds away from some councils - which left them in the "unfair" predicament of trying to make up a spending shortfall.
"If they don't put it up they're gong to be condemned by the government, if they do put it up they're going to be hit by capping."
Grant 'increases'
The Conservative Wandsworth council has announced the biggest rises - up 45%, although still in real terms very low.
Leader Edward Lister told Today: "It does seem as though Conservative authorities are particularly hard hit by this, but I must add that all London boroughs have been hit very hard.
"So from a London perspective there's no good news for anybody coming out of the government at the present time."
But local government minister Nick Raynsford told Today the claim that more money was going to Labour councils was "preposterous".
"We've given real increases, above inflation increases, to every region of the country...
"There are whole series of Conservative councils in the south getting large increases yet sadly some of these are putting their council tax up by large amounts."
'Nudging' spending up
He threatened that some of the more "outrageous" tax rises may be capped, although no decision had so far been taken.
Some analysts backed the government's stance.
The Greater London Group at the London School of Economic said it was not all the government's fault.
"There is always a risk that when anything changes in the local government finance system... some local authorities will take this as an opportunity to nudge their spending up a bit," said director Tony Travers.
"And there probably has been a bit of that going on here too."
She said: "We have been arguing our case for a fairer deal with them for months.
"The government said it wanted to make the system 'fairer and simpler'. How can it be fairer to give East Sussex - one of the poorest counties - the second worst settlement of any county in the whole country?"
Richard Knowles, leader of Oldham Council, which saw a rise of 12.3% in council tax bills, said the bulk of the increase was outside the authority's control.
Such elements include funding for services like the police, fire and passenger transport authorities.
He said: "This increase is obviously a huge disappointment to the council and one we would regret having to implement."

Girl On Girl (Y: The Last Man, Book 6) (original 2005; edition 2005)
by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra (Illustrator)
Work details
Y: The Last Man Vol. 6: Girl on Girl by Brian K. Vaughan (2005)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not sure how many volumes are in the series, but I've just finished the 6th and it's still as exciting (if not more) than the first. The story arcs are crazy far-fetched, but the entire story is and it's fitting. Don't mistake my last comment - the outrageousness is good!
After two years spent warily crossing the U.S., Yorick Brown and his escorts, agent 355 and biochemist Alison Mann, have gone to sea. Mann has determined that the key to understanding what kept Yorick from dying when all the other men did lies within the body of Yorick's pet monkey, Ampersand, who has been abducted by a Japanese mercenary. Following the monkeynapper accounts for the sixth Y: The Last Man collection opening aboard a pirate ship commanded by an exceedingly intrepid erstwhile comp-lit student. Piquant flashbacks and clever, humanizing, and, under the circumstances, not incredible details, like the pirate captain's background, and accidents, like Yorick finding 355 and Mann in flagrante one night--not to mention the volume-closing at-long-last peek at how Yorick's girlfriend, Beth, is faring in Australia--keep this otherwise more routine installment as riveting as its predecessors. Also, by now the saga's relatively plain artwork has become the Y: The Last Man look, and guest artist Goran Sudzuka wisely doesn't deviate from original limner Pia Guerra's style.
So, a lot happens in this volume. Unfortunately, it's the first collection that probably deserved a little less than 4 stars. If not for the incredible ending, I would probably give it a 3-3.5.
Vaughan explores a little of what Yorick's girlfriend is up to in Australia and how she's coping with the plague. We're treated to an excellent dream sequence where Beth
The only thing I didn't like was the ridiculous subplot with pirates
I'm going to be very sad when this series ends.
My blog post about this book is at this link.
Good stuff, as usual. It's tough being the only dude in a world of sluts... I mean women. :) I was ready to propose to that ship captain too (even though she was skinny) after hearing all those sci-fi/literary references. Nothing sexier than a woman with a book in her hand.

[2]Ecole Polytechnique de l'Universite d'Orleans CNRS/CRMD, Orleans, France
The Cosserat models fall into the group of the extended continuum media. They are capable of treating the size effects (characteristic length) in a natural manner using six material moduli for the isotropic elastic cases instead of two (and) for the classical continuum mechanics. This model involves two constitutive laws corresponding to two kinds of balance equation. The first one handles the ...

Heat and Moisture Modeling Benchmarks using COMSOL
A. van Schijndel
Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands
Benchmarks are an important tool to verify computational models. In the research area of building physics, the so-called HAMSTAD (Heat, Air and Moisture Standardization) project is a very well known benchmark for the testing of simulation tools. In this paper we evaluate the use of COMSOL with its multiphysics capabilities regarding this benchmark. In comparing the results with the benchmark, it ...
Numerical Modelling of Vortex Induced Vibrations in Submarine Pipelines
F. Van den Abeele, J. Vande Voorde, and P. Goes

John pointed out to me recently that Greg Wolfe, editor of IMAGE, gave a passing tip o' the hat to Slow Church in his latest editorial for the journal: [When] you edit a literary quarterly you often encounter people who advise you to give up on such an outmoded and burdensome enterprise: why publish long stories and essays and poems that no one will read in the age of Twitter and blockbuster movies?

Getting to the heart of Slow Church
If there is one short work that gets to the heart of what Slow Church is about, it is the chapter "Eucharistic Table Manners" from Norman Wirzba's new book Food and Faith: A Theology of Eating.It is from Wirzba, and from John Howard Yoder before him, that we borrow the central image of the Slow Church as that of a shared meal: The ritualized character of the Eucharist sometimes causes people to forget that the supper was a meal. It was not a nibbling session, but the place where the disciples came together to obtain their inspiration, strength and sustenance. The evidence of the early c … [Read more...]

Holding onto a one point lead, the Apple iPhone 5 kept the number one position over the Samsung Galaxy S III with the Mobile Tech Experts. Another big smartphone making waves was the Samsung Galaxy Note II (global). It ended the week in fourth position.
David Beren - Founder and Managing Editor for TmoNews.com. Follow on twitter @TmoNews.
A little bit of a chance this week with the addition of the Galaxy Note II to the lineup, but the iPhone 5 takes the top spot yet again. After a brief absence of the iPhone in my life, I've yet again recognized why I love the iPhone so much, it's all about the apps. In my view, and in my opinion, they remain by and large far better than what Android presents.
That's not to say that devices like the Galaxy S III and One X are lesser devices, far from it. The Galaxy S III and One X are the top Android devices, at least until the One X+ arrives when it will level the playing field with the Galaxy S III. Right now, the One X is a slight notch below the S III, but the arrival of the One X+ should equal out with the Galaxy S III.
The DROID RAZR M remains the best mid-range Android phone I can find, it's too bad it's only available on Verizon and not in GSM format. I'd scoop this one up as a backup without question.
The Galaxy Note II makes its appearance on my list this week and with the official launch 10 days out, I imagine it'll be a constant companion in the near future. I really believe the Note II is a niche device, but a niche device that will sell millions. If you need a combination smartphone, tablet, this is THE device to use.
Alex Wagner- Senior News Editor for PhoneDog.com. Follow him on twitter @PhoneDog_Alex.
Apple's iPhone 5 features an attractive hardware design as well as 4G LTE connectivity on AT&T, Sprint and Verizon here in the U.S. While iOS itself is starting to show its age compared to other platforms out there, the quality of apps available to users on iOS is high.
Next up is the HTC One X, whose design I'm a big fan of. (Especially when it comes to the white model.) The One X earns points for having AT&T 4G LTE connectivity and a pretty good camera of its own, as well a very nice 720p display.
The U.S. flavor of Samsung's Galaxy S III also makes the cut, packing HSPA+ connectivity on T-Mobile and LTE support for AT&T, Sprint, U.S. Cellular and Verizon. The Galaxy S III also has a 720p display and several other high-end specs, but when it comes to picking an Android skin, I prefer HTC's Sense to Samsung's TouchWiz.
Also in my rankings is the international version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The phone-tablet hybrid has a pretty impressive spec list, including a 5.5-inch 1280x720 HD Super AMOLED display, 1.6GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The Note II's size can make it a bit too large for some, so anyone interested in the device may want to try and handle one before buying. The Galaxy Note II will be released on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon in the U.S., but the launch dates for those models has yet to be announced.
The Motorola DROID RAZR M claims the final spot on my list. The RAZR M touts a 4.3-inch display in a compact body and, although it currently runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Motorola has said that an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean will be released before the end of 2012. Also included with the RAZR M is a speedy dual-core processor and Verizon 4G LTE connectivity. For $99.99 with a two-year contract, the RAZR M is a nice option for Verizon customers looking for a new smartphone that won't be too hard on the wallet.

(My votes for last week are pretty solid, so my votes will remain the same for this week)..
First and foremost, and shouldn't be of a surprise, the iPhone 5 leads the pack for me. With its stunning iconic design, this device leads the smartphone industry. The iPhone 5 is quick and snappy, due it the expensive manual placement of the GPU and CPU chips.
Not far behind, the iPhone 4S is absolute! This mobile device makes a solid entry for me at number 2. I would call this mobile device a comparable budget-friendly alternative to the iPhone 5.
From using a Motorola Razr Maxx extensively, I can't stress enough how reliable the battery life is. I always forget to charge this phone, because the battery life is so amazing! The battery life alone, brings this phone in at number three this week. I don't know how Motorola squeezes in a battery so big into a low-profile phone.
Fourth this week, the Samsung Galaxy S III is too fun not to list. Its beautiful smooth curves and giant screen gives way to the term 'pocket-tv,' because it really is. The warm UI, vibrant display, and ultrafast processor, make this phone a well-rounded package.
Fifth, with more potential to move up, the Razr M and its edge-to-edge display is one of the current underdogs in the mobile market. Motorola is emerging as the energy-king manufacturer, packing some fantastic battery life into the Razr M. This phone, alongside its soon to be released siblings, has very promising potential.


text: Okay so I have been living in my 1 bedroom apartment since May 13 of 2009. I was pregnant upon move in and had my son since 06/06/2009 living here. When I first moved in and was going around filling out the paper saying what was wrong with the place, I pulled out one of the wooden cutting boards in the kitchen and found it was COVERED in black mold and infested with worms and other bugs. I freaked out and called the apartment and let them know and to inform them of the other problems as well ( including a clogged bath tub, most things were uncleaned). The only thing I can say was totally perfect in the apartment was the carpet because it was brand new. Well I called them and let them know and it still took a threatening letter with pictures and a week before they came out and unclogged my bathtub and all they did was take the cutting board out. They didnt inspect the rest of the fixture to see it was molding as well and they still havent replaced it. Also, during my inspection I noticed the cabinets were growing black mold as well. Ecspecially the top cabinets that I cant reach without a stool or chair. I noticed later that week that one of my cabinets was leaking water from somewhere and that was probably causing the black mold. I notified them and they came for about a week and did stuff and finally found it was a broken pipe somewhere upstairs. They have still yet to come repaint and clean my cabinets( i had to do it myself cause I NEED to be able to live in the place Im renting). I finally had it this morning when i go to make some food and I open my cabinet and a huge centipede scurrys to the back of the cabinet. I then notice all these little baby spiders crawling around too! I have an infestation in my cabinet! Probably because this place was built in the 70's and hasnt been repaired in awhile. I am a low income mother and work very hard for what I have, even if its not much. I signed an agreement that I knew about lead poisoning and what not but I never signed an agreement to mold and bugs. I thought they would fix these things and its going on 3 months now almost and they havent done a thing. Not even a call. I want to know if I have a case against them. I continued living here because I truly believe they cared and were going to fix thses things. So please if anybody has any info let me know. Thank you!

March 23, 2007
Recap | Box Score | AP Photo Gallery | Photo Gallery
Tennessee Press Conference
COACH PEARL: We played about as well the first half I think as we can play. These young men did a terrific job. We're a dangerous basketball team. Anybody that can make 16 threes and shoot over 60 percent is a tough match up. That proved to be the case. We tied a school record. Two point baskets were tough to come by, particularly in the second half. We only had four in the second half. And we just were not we didn't convert when we got the fouls.
We're terribly disappointed. We've proven that we can beat the best teams in the country. We've also proved that we can come close to beating the best teams in the country.
Q. Chris, was there a point in the second half where you felt it kind of slipping away?
Chris Lofton: Not really. We knew they were going to make a run and our goal was to try to withstand it. They came out in the second half with great intensity and urgency. We didn't have our urgency on defense the second half.
Q. Most of the time when you play Ohio State if you get in foul trouble and get your 3's, you have a great chance to win, what happened in the second half?
Dane Bradshaw: You're exactly right. It was part of the game plan to get him in foul trouble and Conley, as well. We still have Oden in foul trouble in the second half. But we just really didn't do a good job from the get go. The starters played poorly at the beginning the second half. We never got over confident because we're all in the locker room at halftime. But defensively we didn't have that sense of urgency. And that's what makes it worse, because sometimes the ball doesn't go in for you. But things that you can control are your defensive intensity and ball pressure and things of that nature. We just didn't come through.
Q. Can you talk about what it was like to play in a game like that with just such great momentum swings, and it ends as a back and forth type of game?
Dane Bradshaw: The energy was there before we even got on the court following such a great game beforehand. It was just a great experience. We know that the way we play and our fast pace style there's going to be runs back and forth from both teams. It's an exciting game to watch, but we weren't able to come through.
Q. In your mind was there a pivotal time where there were a couple two, three plays where you knew if you made them you were in great shape? What were the key moments in that stretch as far as you were concerned?
COACH PEARL: The kids had it right, in the first two rotations in the second half were not good. The starters didn't come out and defend with the kind of urgency we needed. We weren't making plays. We were playing defensive. Whereas the first half we had a game plan and had a purpose defensively. And I thought that was really key.
When Ryan Childress started making shots, it kind of felt like this is supposed to happen. And I felt pretty good about just JaJuan Smith, same thing, made a couple of good shots in transition, felt good about it.
We had a difficult time covering Conley after the flat screen. And they still got it.
Q. You guys played a tremendous game tonight, Xavier played a tremendous game against Ohio State, both had significant leads that they came back on. Talk about how good Ohio State has got to be to be able to come back on two teams that played exceptionally well, and most teams would have faded?
COACH PEARL: They are able to grind it out. And we talked about it yesterday. I think that Ron Lewis is a big play maker. I'm really happy for him to be able to come back to play at the Ohio State University. He's had some big time plays. Conley's ability to get to the foul line and drive into contact, it's interesting, Conley shoots 14 free throws, Chris Lofton doesn't shoot any. I think five on Tennessee's team is a pretty good player. Maybe Chris doesn't drive it into contact as much. Certainly shoots a lot more three balls. But for him to not go to the foul line one time, difficult for me to understand. He went to the foul line one time the first time we played him. We played Ohio State but Conley's ability to get to the foul line that helps you lay games. But they've obviously got a grit. They've got a resolve?
Q. Can you just walk over the last two possessions, the call on Conley's, and what you thought about your last look, and there was debate whether it would have been good or not.
COACH PEARL: Ohio, again, Conley does a great job of drawing fouls. I thought Ramar Smith got almost the same look in Columbus. And Greg we had something we had a play diagrammed if he made it, and we took it out. And we were going to try to set a ball screen for tomorrow, some place in the middle of the floor with Wayne Chism, who was going to be forced by Oden. I don't know that Chism ever I know he didn't, never stopped. I wanted him to stop at about the ten second line, because maybe Oden would stop with him. Whether he set a screen or not, maybe he'd have to negotiate that screen. Wayne never stopped. And so Ramar went to the basket and he just followed him in. I thought Ramar had drawn contact underneath, and very similar play to Conley's, but Greg was there up top. It's a good look. You get the ball in your point guard's hand and you drive it in the line. And Ramar, he can make tough 2's, so I was pleased with the shot.
We had 14, two point baskets, Ramar had six of them. To get it in his hands and get there was good.
Q. Did you do anything to try to keep the ball out of Oden's hands? I know he had foul trouble, but he only took two shots?
COACH PEARL: In the first half? For the game in we fouled him. He got fouled several times. Post defense is a team game, ball pressure. I thought both Wayne Chism, Crews, did a good job of forcing him away from the basket, limiting his touches, and he got it close we fouled him some. Greg is really good and he's a he was obviously a focal point of our scout. He had 25 and 15 the last time we played. So we did a good job on him.
Ohio State Press Conference
COACH MATTA: Well, I don't know if I've seen too many like that in an NCAA tournament, Tennessee, they blitzed us in the first half. 9 for 15 and I think Chism was 0 for 3. I don't know if Lofton hit the rim today when he made them. And we went in wounded and I didn't like our body language. We were down and talked at halftime about what we had to do to chip away. I think it all started the run started for us with our defense, we were able to get some stops and they missed some shots. Great, we'll get a couple of easy baskets. And when we got it down to about six we knew we had ourselves a ballgame. Came down to the last minute, could have gone either way.
I'm proud at our guys, half pissed off at them how we started. But we came back the second half and were able to make the plays down the stretch to win the basketball game in advance.
Q. Talk about chipping away at that lead. Was there just a constant effort to try to penetrate as much as possible?
RON LEWIS: We seen their body language coming out the second half and we knew we had to attack. Our main focus was get to the basket, get free throws so we could stop the clock and knock down shots and that's what we did.
Q. Ron, you said you saw their body language. What was their body language. Mike, do you find yourself asking yourself why don't you play like you played in the second half to start with?
RON LEWIS: Their body language was like they already had the game won. We just had to come out with aggressiveness like they were the first half. So that was our main focus.
MIKE CONLEY, JR.: Well, yeah, it's hard to think why we don't come out in the first 20 minutes playing like we did the last 20. You think that your guys are ready to go and then a team goes on a run like that and we just never recovered. And I'm hoping that we can learn a lot from this and start off the first four minutes like we ended the game. That would definitely get us out of the situation that we were in tonight.
Q. Can you talk about when you and Greg were on the bench with foul trouble in the first half and Tennessee seemed to be making everything. What were you thinking about there? Are you feeling like this thing might be over?
MIKE CONLEY, JR.: I'm trying to get the people give the people on the court confidence. Ron and Jamar are still out there, so I know they have a lot of confidence in their game. I was trying to get them in the game and trying to get some stops. I knew we couldn't do much from the bench, but try to give encouragement. Trying to do whatever I could to keep my team in the game.
Q. Take us through the last offensive possession, when you got fouled at the free throw, what were you reading there, what was the intent?
MIKE CONLEY, JR.: There was a three second difference, so we knew we could run the clock down a little bit. We were coach called a flash screen out and it was trying to create something and it worked out and we got the foul.
Q. Can you try to compare this come back to the Xavier come back, how do you feel now, how do you feel about what was going on?
RON LEWIS: I think this come back was much more our pace and in our hands from the second half. When Xavier won we had to chip away at the last four or five minutes of the game. This time we had to do it in the second half. I just feel that we just need to have a constant effort throughout the whole game.
Q. Mike, with these two comebacks now, can you talk about what coach said in the locker room and what's the secret to motivate you guys?
MIKE CONLEY JR.: It's part him telling us we didn't come out to play the first 20 minutes, we were soft. We didn't show a lot of aggressiveness, offensively, defensively. But as a team we came together and talked to each other and picked each other up. A lot of guys were down, they had turned the ball over two or three times. And people's heads were down. I think as a team we all got together and tried to stick together in that kind of a situation. If you fall apart there's going to be no good from that.
Q. How big were the first like four minutes of the second half? You went from 17 down I think the first TV time out was already 7, just talk about the first stretch of the second half.
RON LEWIS: It was real important for us to come out aggressive. That was going to set the tone for the second half. With us made it a constant effort the second half.
Q. Was there a moment, a shot or a point in the second half where you felt like this is it, this is ours now?
MIKE CONLEY JR.: I really say from the beginning, the first two points we hit in the second half. We came out and saw their body language. We knew as a team that we had to be aggressive and attack. We felt like if we made our shots and played our system we'd be fine, because there's a lot of time left on the clock and a lot of things can be done in that amount of time. We felt just from the beginning of the second half we had kind of an advantage on them.
Q. Either of you guys know anything about Memphis?
RON LEWIS: Not yet.
MIKE CONLEY JR.: Watched a little bit of the game before, but we've still got a lot of scouting to do.
Q. First off, how is your heart doing? Secondly, what happened the first half?
COACH MATTA: I think the first play of the game kind of typified, with the tip, them getting a wide open three, you know, when a team comes out and makes shots like that, I told them the first time out they did the exact same thing to Virginia and they cooled down, about five minutes left of the first half the guys said I thought you were going to cool down. And they were rolling. Tennessee we've got the utmost respect for them. I think they are a great basketball team. The method to what they do is incredible. When they're making shots like that, I had the thought in my mind at one point during the first half, a little bit like Georgetown last year, if they play like this they're going to win it all.
The foul trouble, we were disheveled. We never got into a rhythm or flow. And quite honestly they punched us so hard, we were at the nine count. David's play at the end of the half was a little bit of a momentum boost for us. It cut it to 17. Boy, we were really jacked up going into that halftime (laughter).
Q. I realize Greg had a lot of foul trouble, is that something they did or were you all not able to get him the ball?
COACH MATTA: The six free throws that he got were attempted touches and that sort of thing. When we got it down, I don't know what he played in the first half, it wasn't a lot of minutes in the first half, when we got down they were really, really physical, banging him. And I think he did a pretty good job considering the circumstances of in, out, in, out, with the foul trouble.
Q. You mentioned David Lighty, seemed like you got a lot out of your bench, especially with Greg on foul trouble, in the foul trouble he was. Can you talk about what those guys did for you tonight?
COACH MATTA: You think about it with Matt Terwilliger, the job he does. The job David did defensively, knocked down a huge 3 in the corner, the big play at the end of the first half. He finished and got some rebounds. I think those guys were tremendous. They kept it going for us and then even in the second half I thought they did a great job coming in and finishing what we needed with the match ups what we were trying to do and with Ivan going down, had to come out of the game. Those guys stepped up and did a great job for us.
Q. Could you talk about living dangerously like you have the last two games and what that's been like for you and maybe some things, obviously some things you have to do Saturday, some things you have to do to turn it around.
COACH MATTA: I think if you look up in the dictionary living dangerously would be the thesaurus to describe it, and my picture would be plastered right next to it. I think it's funny in this tournament the two most important words are survive and advance. And we've been very, very fortunate the last couple games to do those two things. What's hard is you'd love to go back to Columbus and practice for a week. Unfortunately we can't do that. The one thing that I've said all year long with this team is consistency. We've shown we can play some great basketball, but we've got to get that consistency for 40 minutes and tonight it was obviously 20 minutes of great come from behind basketball against a great basketball team.
Q. How many games do you think you can continue to win with Oden playing like 18 minutes? Is there a way that he can, with his energy, I guess, stay out of foul trouble?
COACH MATTA: Yeah. He's only fouled out of one game this year and that was actually last Saturday. I think obviously Greg is such an important part of what we do, both offensively and defensively. We would not have won 20 straight games and be sitting at 33 3 without him. The job that he's done for us along the way, and I think on Saturday, and I always say this about our team, I don't know who's going to lead us in scoring on Saturday. It could be Greg. You never know exactly how the game is going to play out and what needs to be done.
Q. In what ways is he a freshman and in what ways does he seem much older? Is it night to night with him sometimes?
COACH MATTA: The one thing I love about Greg Oden, if you ask me one word to describe him I'd say "winner." And I think that he will do whatever he has to do to help the team win. And there are times, I think all of our guys show some inexperience. But I wouldn't trade them for anybody and the job that they've done for us. I think that's the thing, you look at Tennessee's program. I'm not looking forward to go to Knoxville next year. What a great job they've done and Coach Pearl has done. There were some plays made out there by some really, really young players.
Q. Can you talk about how Lewis has taken you guys on his back. He had 17 or 18 on the second half tonight.
COACH MATTA: I think Ron is playing tremendous basketball for us right now. As a 5th year senior, this is kind of what we had I think he had in mind and I had in mind for him. He took the one bad one, if my arms would have been longer I would have grabbed him. We were rolling and he was feeling it. As soon as he let it go, he said it's my fault, it's a bad shot. He's playing within himself. His defense has gotten so much better and throughout the course of the Big Ten some guys that he had to guard, he's just really become a well rounded player.

text: The last several days were like a blur. I made too many cookies, ate things other people made that I didn't like (green bean casserole with little hot dog chunks, bad jello salad with beet pieces and funeral potatoes – that's a Utah thing ), skipped meals, ran around doing a million things. It was busy, it was hectic, it was crazy. But today, I wanted to come home and eat something I made because dang it, my worst effort had to be better than a casserole made of macerated hot dogs (I have HUGE issues with hot dogs, it's a long story). I had leftover baked chicken from last night and a couple of Zucchinis in the fridge. I decided it would be great to take out my mandolin (the cooking kind, not the musical instrument) and use the zucchini as the noodle and make some kind of a filling with the chicken and other veggies. It turned out pretty great and it was fast too. Total time with prep and baking under 45 minutes. It sure beats the beet jello salad (pun intended).

Is there hope for millions of stray animals in the EU?
Hallo, friends and fellow animal lovers, sorry for the late information!
The time is running very fast. But the
Action still isn't to end. Here is my report from Brussels.
On the 24th April 2012 I was in Brussels to present our case for the Petition 1274/2011 to the EU Petition Committee, the petition having been accepted as such by this committee. Before speaking on our petition, I had to stand in for Kendra Pinder (Petition 595/2011 on stray dogs in Romania) at the request of Carmen Arsene (from the Romanian Animal Welfare Group) and delivered the speech on this petition in English.
At the end of these presentations the representative of the EU Commission remarked that these topics do not come under the jurisdiction of the EU, as no agreements with member countries have been made – the standard reply to issues regarding stray animals, unfortunately.
Subsequently members of the Petition Committee rose to speak out, especially MEPs Victor Boştinaru from Romania and Dr. Peter Jahr, who gave us their vigorous and unconditional support for the petitions.
Please click on the version after 09:06 hrs. From approx. 10.00 hrs. onwards is the part on animal welfare.

The petition "Europe must assume responsibility for millions of stray animals!" was handed over in Brussels!
Under the title "Europe must assume responsibility for millions of stray animals!", Ärzte für Tiere handed over a petition aimed at the creation of a uniform trans-European Animal Welfare Act to Mrs. Erminia Mazzoni (President of the EU Petitions' Committee) in the parliament building in Brussels.

Europe has to take the responsibility for millions of stray animals!
We claim for an animal protection law applying to all pets and stray animals in Europe to end the cruelties against those creatures living on the streets and to reduce their overpopulation.

"Bucharest without stray dogs"
The gouvernment of Romania puts its citizens under massive pressure to gain votes for mass killings of stray dogs. The used methods are doubtful and full of disinformation. Dr. Carmen Arsene, Vice-President of the Romanian Animal Welfare Federation, accuses the persons responsible via an open letter.

I am trying to help someone with a housing issue, the person is long term unemployed and has been signing on.
Apparently, for some reason, he was a 'clerical claim' and not on the system (and this happens to lots of people I am told). He got put onto a workplacements programme and since then his rent was not paid for about 8 weeks.
As you can imagine, he is now facing eviction with court dates set. Housing Benefit are saying his claim was closed down, the person has said he went to his work placement, only to be told 'he wasn't booked in'. He then went back to the job centre and signed your paperwork. However, this person has mislaid his proof of signing on 'but maintains he has'. The job centre state he hasn't signed on because it doesn't show on their system.
How can he obtain proof that he has physically signed on. There is CCTV at the place. Can he request information under data protection? Is there anything that can be done?
Sorry if this is long winded - I'd really like to help this person and would be grateful for any advice.

But our secret adherents in Holland can be counted by the score, in Zealand and Utrecht by the hundred.
The church of Vigersted, also in Zealand, possesses another.
Zealand's reasons seem to be now overruled, and the Prince's absolute authority there of little avail.
Zealand is the richest agricultural province in the Netherlands.
Such was the physical and moral condition of the provinces of Holland and Zealand.
The Belgian ports were blockaded by the cruisers of Holland and Zealand.
But I travelled with a good heart towards the little city of Zealand.
A clergyman, it is said, was journeying one night to Roeskilde in Zealand.
With this view, the first object was to stop, or at least to impede, the arrival of supplies from Zealand.
The church of Vigersted in Zealand has a cup obtained in the same way.

Hey Guys,
How much can I expect to pay (including labor) to replace a fuel pump in my 2000 GMC Sierra extended cab, 5.3 V8. I
I haven't found a shop since I moved from Wisconsin to Kansas and don't want to get screwed.

First Tuesday Film Club: Over the past several months we have spoken to and met with a number of movie goers encouraging us to offer an art/specialty movie once every month. With that in mind, the Lake Theatre is embarking on a trial program to present an art, foreign, documentary, specialty, or classic movie on the first Tuesday of every month. We have formed an advisory committee to assist with the selection of films, to help secure special guest lecturers and film discussion leaders, and suggest ways to spread the word throughout Oak Park, River Forest and the surrounding area. Our current committee currently includes:
Bobbie Raymond Susie Helfrich Mary Kay O'Grady Shirley Johnson (Classic Cinemas) "Hyde Park on Hudson" - The story of the love affair between FDR and his distant cousin Margaret "Daisy" Suckley, centered around the weekend in 1939 when the King and Queen of the United Kingdom visited upstate New York. "Hyde Park on Hudson", will be presented on Tuesday, March 5 at 12:00 and 7:00 p.m. Admission is $6 matinee/senior and $8.50 evening.

Linguine with Asparagus and Egg
Ribbons of pasta and seasonal asparagus are topped with a poached egg in this simple vegetarian supper.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, April 2011
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 3/4 pound linguine or fettuccine
- 1 large bunch thin asparagus (1 pound), ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (1/2 ounce), plus more for serving (optional)
- 4 large eggs
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions, adding the asparagus in the last minute of cooking. Reserve 1 cup cooking liquid; drain pasta and asparagus and return to pot along with butter and Parmesan. Toss until butter is melted, adding enough pasta water to create a thin sauce that coats pasta.
While pasta is cooking, in a large straight-sided skillet, heat 2 inches water over medium until a few bubbles rise to the top. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently pour into skillet. Cook until whites are set and yolks are runny, 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
To serve, divide pasta among 4 bowls, top each serving with an egg, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if desired.

Alright guys - Just wanted to share the good news! Got my car back today after getting the thermostat and belts (AC+serpentine) replaced. The temp gauge was a little crazy and heater didn't work at first but after a few miles it stabilized and the heater started to work again. I may need to check the system for air but its all good. The car warms up a lot faster too.
I also got the bad o2 sensor replaced. Hopefully this will eliminate the cel I had. So far so good. 3 sensors checked ready - I guess two are on their way.
Meyle control arms and powerflex CABs were also installed. Steering is definitely tighter, but not significantly. I guess it was too loose to begin with, but still a good upgrade.
Does anyone have a radar detector I can borrow? I'll be driving down to 4ngiefest this weekend and may need the help.

Plot with axis with the same scaling factor
I would like to know how to produce plots with orthonormal axis. I've
written some code which
a) retrieves all the points of a plot
b) finds the lowest at position at left and the highest at right
c) computes the AspectRatio
d) does the actual plot
Is it a simplier way to get a plot with the same scaling factor on
both axis.
Note: to use AspectRatio->1 doesn't of course work because this leads
to a plot fitting in a square but with uneven ||(1,0)|| and ||(0,1)||

Why Do We Still Need International Women's Day?
A week ago today (March 8th), countries around the world celebrated the hundredth anniversary of International Women's Day. But surely, one hundred years after its conception, women don't need their own special day anymore? What about an International Men's Day, hmm?
The answer is that the 364 other days of the year belong to men. It's more important than ever that a day specifically for women is celebrated: to see how far we have come, and to see how far we have to go.
No one can deny that in one hundred years, huge amounts have been achieved. When I woke up on Tuesday, I was proud to be an independent woman, able to live, work and travel freely, able to study at a university and be awarded a degree …

Michael Jackson Glove Fetches $190,000 at Auction
Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:10:33
Michael Jackson Photos
Michael Jackson Videos
The Associated Press is reporting that global bidders coughed up nearly $1 million for Michael Jackson items at an auction at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Friday, which was the one-year anniversary of his death. The Swarovski-crystal-studded glove he wore on his 1984 Victory Tour? That nabbed $190,000 from a bidder, which was 10 times higher than the estimated value. It was expected to pull in between $20,000 and $30,000. Over 200 items were up for auction.
"It just shows you Michael Jackson is the most sought after and most collectible celebrity of all time. It was just phenomenal," Darren Julien of Julien's Auctions told Las Vegas Review-Journal. "People flew in from Asia, Russia, all over. Now that he's gone, we now realize the true legend we lost." Julien predicted the sales would easily top $1 million by the time the auction wrapped up Sunday. < br>
So who the hell blew nearly 200 grand on Jacko's glove? Her name is Wanda Kelley and she is from Los Angeles. The glove wasn't the only think she snatched up at the auction, either. She bought a bunch of his albums, too. Wow. She must have a sugar daddy or be filthy rich with loads of disposable income.
Also, a pair of Jackson-worn loafers that were listed as worth $2,000 to $3,000 went for $90,000. That's what I call inflation.
What do you think of people who blow this kind of money on rock memorabilia?

Chapter 1 : The Healing
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 5
Background: Font color:
Lupin then rushed to Abby, who had collapsed to her knees and was crying, though it wasn't clear whether they were tears of physical or emotional pain. "Come on, I need to get you to the infirmary now. Class is dismissed."
Lupin entered the hospital wing, rushing as Abbys robes steadily became more saturated in her own blood. Poppy! His voice echoed in the vast space. Madame Pomfrey came rushing out of her office and gasped at the sight of the broken student. What on earth happened?! she cried, shocked.
Her own boggart stabbed her, replied Lupin, a hint of panic in his own voice, as he lay the now unconscious Gryffindor upon the nearest of the beds. He backed off, refusing to meet the nurse's questioning eyes.
Poppy pointed her wand at the wound and whispered the typical healing charm. Nothing happened. She frowned and bustled to her potions cabinet, then spoke without turning, Remus, go get Severus quickly. Albus and Minerva as well. Ill keep trying. Hopefully, I can find something to stop the bleeding until you get back.
Lupin rushed from the infirmary and nearly ran down to the dungeons. He knocked once on the Potions classroom door then walked briskly in and up to Professor Snape. Leaning close, he whispered before Snape could get out a single word, We need you in the infirmary. Abigail Everett is bleeding to death. Snape looked at him with the deepest shock on his face and stood quickly. Peterson, youre in charge until I return, he ordered to one of the sixth year prefects, then swept out of the room with Lupin.
As Lupin went to collect Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall, Snape ran to the hospital wing to find Madame Pomfrey applying pressure to Abbys wound. What happened? he asked with surprising calm as he approached the still form that lay upon the bed.
Remus said that her boggart stabbed her, the nurse replied, Snapes presence somehow restoring her calm. The infirmary doors slammed open as McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Lupin all rushed into the room.
Remus told us what happened. Can you heal her, Severus? asked Dumbledore.
I think so, said Snape. He pulled off his teaching robes and frock coat with surprising speed, and rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. He took up a clean cloth and wiped away the pooling blood. Then, Snape placed his right hand against Abbys wound and, bending close, whispered the ancient incantation, kizu naosu.
KIZU NAOSU! The familiar voice boomed through Abbys consciousness. Something was wrenching at her soul, pulling violently at her to come out of the deep, blackness into which she had so willingly slipped. And music burst in her head:
this world will never be
what i expected
and if i don't belong
even if i say,
"it'll be all right"
still i hear you say
you want to end your life
now and again we try
to just stay alive
maybe we'll turn it all around cause it's
not too late, it's never too late
Snape had his eyes closed, willing the deep cut to heal. Suddenly he felt Abbys flesh knit violently back together and she spoke in a tone of excruciating pain, Let me DIE!
Snape removed his hand from Abbys abdomen, revealing a nasty scar. That shouldnt have happened, he said, still calm. Tears were now streaming softly from Abbys closed eyes. He touched her face gently, to the surprise of his colleagues, then added, But she seems to be asleep. She should be all right. Now, I need to return to my class.
Severus, Dumbledore said quietly, thank you.
Of course Headmaster. Then Snape walked resolutely from the infirmary.
Dumbledore turned to Lupin, who still looked somewhat abashed. Remus you too should get to your class. Abby isnt your responsibility. His tone softened as he placed a hand comfortingly on the younger mans shoulder. It wasn't your fault, Remus. No one could have foreseen this. I still have complete confidence in you. Lupin nodded in reluctant acknowledgment, then took his leave of the hospital wing as well.
McGonagall turned to Dumbledore, Were you planning to stay at her bedside, Albus?
Yes. This is a very strange occurrence; a boggart actually attacking its target. Were lucky Severus knows all that he does, or Miss Everett very well could be dead now. I dont think even I could have saved her He let his voice trail off, thinking.
McGonagall sighed, Im very sorry, but I have a class to teach as well. I cant stay.
Thats quite all right Minerva. I will give Abigail your apologies. With that Professor McGonagall walked slowly from the infirmary, following her two colleagues. Dumbledore took up a chair next to Abbys bed and fell deep into thought while he awaited her stirring.
