Digital Revolution is a history lesson, a source of nerdy nostalgia, a celebration of cutting edge work and a peek a what's coming. It's also great fun as you spend time interacting with some wonderful installations.
The works at the Barbican in London span art, design, film, music and games. They range from new commissions and iconic projects from some of interactive art's big names – including Universal Everything, Chris Milk and Aaron Koblin – to explanations of the visual effects of Gravity and Inception.
The first room, Digital Archeology, brings together computers and games machines from the 70s onwards – and lets you try out creative software and play much loved games on some of them. These trace the history of the computers we've used at home and at work to create static, motion and interactive projects – from home computers such as Sinclair's ZX80 and ZX Spectrum to early Macs to the Quantel Paintbox, which revolutionised TV graphics in the 1980s. It was like walking through my past.
State of Play is the most fun part of the exhibition. Its installations – which let you unfurl wings like a bird in Chris Milk's The Treachery of Sanctuary (right) or watch your body's motion in graphic form as you dance – are largely controlled using Microsoft's Kinect hardware.
Use the slideshow controls above and right to see what's on show at Digital Revolution at the Barbican. The exhibition runs until September 14. You can buy tickets here.

Here are some speed reviews of some products that I've been considering lately:
1.Guerlain 'Secret de Pureté' Cleansing Cream ($66 /6.5 oz.). This is a remarkably gentle cleanser that manages to remove virtually everything while leaving baby skin behind.
Recently, I received a generous 1.0 oz. sample from a gift with purchase, which has lasted several weeks. I've used it with water alone, or on the brush head of my Clarisonic. Here's my little sample:
This cleanser is remarkable. It takes off my Armani Eyes to Kill mascara, my Chanel sunblock, and my Nars Tinted Moisturizer without stripping the skin in the least. My skin feels moisturized and glows when I'm done. Gorgeous. Yes, it has a perfumed scent.
2. Edward Bess Luxury Face Brush ($59) This kabuki-styled brush is perfect for blush, bronzer, and highlighter. Lovingly packaged:
It has a dense compact of bristles, which might lead one to a heavy coverage, but the gently sloped head allows me to pick up just the right amount.
The handle is slightly longer than other face brushes, which makes it a pleasure to use. It's an investment, but one that I really do love.
3. Guerlain Shine Automatique in A La Parisienne #263 ($35) I'm continuing to enjoy Guerlain Shine Automatique in Rose Pompon. I love the slide-up packaging, it's gorgeous and functional.
Guerlain Shine Automatique A La Parisienne is pretty sheer coral that lets just a peek of your natural lip color through.
If you are shy about wearing this season's bright oranges, this sheer rose-coral may be perfect.
Here is A La Parisienne on Megan:
As a sheer lipstick, A La Parisienne will look slightly different on everyone. Here are some other reviews:
4. Replere Beauty Shooters($37 for 14 bottles) I'm a big believer that beauty comes from within. I cannot get enough of antioxidant rich foods, plenty of filtered water, and vitamin supplements. Dr. Debbie Palmer has made it easier to get a recommended daily dose of antioxidants, including vitamin C-packed fruits, goji & açai berries, and blueberries in a one ounce (1 oz.) Beauty Shooter.
Packed 14 to a carton, these are purse-sized, single serving little containers that you can take once a day to get your beauty in. One shakes, shoots, and done. I received three of these without charge for consideration for review, and found they had a pleasant, sweet grape cranberry-flavor with a slight touch of pulp. For those that don't have time to get to a fresh source of fruits and vegetables every day, these provide a very easy alternative.

Syrian leader Bashar Assad has been a strong supporter of Russia's actions toward Georgia and expects to be rewarded for his friendship by receiving extensive shipment of arms, weapons and missile systems. He met with President Medvedev yesterday in Sochi and discussed the possibility of receiving anti-aircraft and anti-tank missile systems. At a time when Israel is now connected with the failed American effort to support Georgia in its ill fated invasion of South Ossetia, the Syrian government is giving unqualified friendship to its new found ally. "We understand the essence of the Russian position and it military response," he told Medvedev. "We believe Russia was responding to the Georgian provocation…I want to express m y support for the Russian position in Abkhazia and South Ossetia…We oppose attempts to tarnish Russia's position."
Israel and many American Jewish supporters continually insist George Bush has been the best friend Israel ever had. Of course, Bush became the greatest recruiter of terrorists in human history by his ill founded Middle Eastern policies and the latest fiasco in Georgia has wound up with Israel's enemies now receiving extensive military equipment from Russia. Perhaps, those who believe Bush is a great friend of Israel can explain exactly how his policies have improved peace in the Middle East. I certainly can not.

FS: Supersprint Race exhaust and unresonated mid pipe
6 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
I have a supersprint race and unresonated mid pipe for sale. I am not the original owner of either piece. Both pieces have a small issue from the previous owner. On the race exhaust the owner took the stickers off of the top. It is clean and polished up there. It is still on the car so a good picture is hard to take. I took a picture with my iphone last week when switching out the mid pipe. I have a picture of the plague on the right resonator for verification.
For the mid pipe one side of the exhaust hanger was broken off. It was not broken at a weld just the metal tab itself was broken. It should be an easy weld to fix. The broken tab is pictured and zip tied to the existing one.
I have put about 10,000 miles on the race exhaust and previous owner did the same, 20,000 total. The mid pipe was on for a week as a test and it sounded great. I would put it back on but would rather free up some cash for books or other car parts.
Almost forgot pricing, really just looking to get what I paid for the midpipe, $280. Looking for $900 plus oem exhaust as a trade. I got it for $1100 plus oem a year ago so I figured that fair. I could do $1100 for both picked up.
Feel free to pm me any questions, I should get back to you quickly
Interested please pm me.
Bump this back up
Bump it up
Pm me interested ?
Hey man, sorry I'm not on these boards a lot but the pieces are sold all ready.
Enjoy the og m3. They always look great.

Okay the way I have designed the website. The content which I want to slide to the next is over two divs. One floated left, one floated right. Is it possible to have a slider so both divs content change to the next when the next arrow is clicked? If so how?
I am thinking the only way around the problem is to make the content into one div and then have the slider control section (part with numbers) positioned absolutely over the top. Im not sure how to go about that however.
You can see the design I have at the moment. The template title, image and info should be changed when next is clicked.
I have managed to change the CSS so each featured content is held in a
I edited a script from http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentslider.htm. You can see what I have so far at:
Click the numbers works but for some reason the next and previous arrows do not do anything. Sometimes the number links stop working as well. I am completely confused by this.
You can view the following JS files I am using:
http://highermoney.com/rt/contentslider.js http://highermoney.com/rt/contentfade.js
The only things I editted on the dynamic drive script was to change the pagination links to list items and put them in a unorder list. I then made the next and previous links images and put them in divs so they are floated right and left. The pagination links also use lavalamp.
Hi – I am thinking of buying this theme WT – Can you tell me if the WYSIWYG editor supports tinymce plugin – as I want to build site for my clients and they will then be able to add postas and pages – BUT clients dont know about CSS ….In adition – I have seen a similar theme on the market place – it looks like a copy of this one (can you confirm that you are actually the author please.

This is the best location for visiting Denali. Sure, it's a gravel parking lot, but we came for Denali, not this. Utilities all work fine and check-in was very friendly. It serves its purpose and we have no complaints at all.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
This park is simply beautiful! Sure, check in was a little tight, but once inside the campground it's pure bliss. The staff were friendly and helpful and our fellow campers were friendly as well. The roads were adequate for our 35' motorhome and the concrete pads are level and the sites nicely spaced. There was a nice playground for the kids too. All the hookups worked fine and the park was very clean and well maintained. I wish I could give it 6 stars for value. Nearby is the city park and it too is a great value. It's an easy walk to the park and a must see. You'll be pleasantly surprised at all there is to see and do there, from a train to pioneer homes to the waterfall to a petting / wildlife zoo. Together the RV park and city park make for a memorable getaway, especially for us frugal campers. We'll definitely be back!
Date of Stay: July, 2015
I don't know what has happened to this state park. This was once our favorite destination but not any more. While most of the rangers and staff are friendly there is one who seems determined to spoil the camping trip if he can. He frequently patrols the campground looking for the tiniest infraction on the rules and gives folks a hard time. For example, I saw him go after a handicapped person because the front wheels of their truck was off the pavement, on gravel but off the pavement. Other TN state parks we've stayed at don't act this way, just Tims Ford. The picnic tables are shaky, the restrooms are nasty, and the wooden bridge over the lake inlet is in disrepair, all while he patrols looking for us lawbreakers. It's easy to see this once was a beautiful park but people like him can turn a pleasant outing into an unpleasant one. It'll be a while before we go back there and hopefully he will have a change in attitude or be working elsewhere by then.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
Rate reflects Good Sam discount. This is a pretty nice park with a few drawbacks. The location is good, with only a short drive to many activities. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Park roads are paved and sites are in good condition, with easy access to hookups. Several sites have shade, which is a big plus in the summer heat. Cable TV only consists of about 20 channels and most were snowy, but watchable. Internet was weak and pretty unreliable at our site. Maintenance guy had a German Shepard tied outside that barked frequently and lurched menacingly toward us whenever we walked by on the street. Some long term campers looked junked up around them. I'd stay here again but I might just check around for something better next time. Maybe that big dog will be gone by then.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
This was a nice campground in a quiet area at the south end of town. Hookups all worked fine and Wi-Fi was fast. Park staff were all friendly and helpful and the spots were clean and roomy with small shade trees at most sites. This is a good base to visit the many sights in the area. We enjoyed our time there and will stay there again when in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park was a big disappointment for us. When we arrived for a 2 night stay we were required to pay for a 3 night minimum. Our Good Sam discount was not recognized either. We were required to pay a deposit for a gate card and then had to wait until late on the morning of our departure for the office to open so we could recover our money. When we were escorted to our site we passed by campers in poor condition, and some even appeared abandoned. Our site was newly concreted, but was so badly out of level that I used several blocks to level our camper. Power and water worked fine but the cable was snowy. WI-Fi was available but at an unreasonable cost. The park rules forbid large dogs but we were soon accosted by a pit bull and 2 German Shepard's who would have killed our little dog had we not reacted quickly. Rules required cleanup after dogs but the roads and paths were lined with droppings. We had to pay $2 extra for our little dog but there was no dog run and obviously the cost wasn't used for the park cleanup either. Traffic completely disregarded the speed limit and walking the park roads was risky. The only nice thing about this park was the lake. The ducks swimming in it made for a tranquil setting. If we're in the area again we'll definitely stay elsewhere.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Price reflects PA discount. We stayed here while visiting Sequoia park. The drive to the national park was reasonable, but a little long. Spaces were nice, but pretty close together. The owners were friendly and helpful. All hookups worked fine and Wi-Fi was available, but expensive. There was some traffic noise at night and frequent trains passed by as well. These sounds might be a problem for light sleepers but they didn't disturb us. We'd stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park is a good place to stay while in or passing through the area. The Oasis resort is closed but the campground and pool are both still open. Sites are paved and the utilities and laundry all worked fine. Paid Wi-Fi was available but the price was unreasonable. Checking in required a trip to the Casa Blanca which was somewhat inconvenient since they were a few blocks away. It served it's purpose well though and we'd stop by again in the future.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This is a great place to stay while exploring Bryce Canyon. The free park shuttles are the best way to visit the canyon and are just a short 4 mile drive away. The RV park is peaceful and the spots beneath the trees are spacious and clean. What really sets this park apart though is the treatment we received here. The park staff were all very friendly and helpful. When we had vehicle problems they went out of their way to help us out. If you are looking for a place that's more than just a parking lot then this is the one for you. We'll happily stay here again when we're in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Rate reflects Passport America discount. I suppose this was a bad time of year to visit this park. Most of the amenities were closed as was the office. We never saw any staff while we were there and even paid by envelope for our site. Hookups all worked fine and the pool was open and unattended, but that was it. This looks to be a snowbird paradise but in the summer it's just a place to stop for the night. For the money I'd stay here again though.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This park is in a great location for visiting Tombstone. It's within easy walking distance of the main street attractions, but it's far enough away to avoid the noise. The staff was very friendly and helpful and pointed out several must see sights in town. Sites were reasonably level, and the hookups worked fine, except for the cable. Most channels were snowy and some were unwatchable. Wi-Fi worked great and was fast. The office and area around it was pretty junky, but the rest of the park was nice and well kept. I'd stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This is a very nice campground and the location is perfect for seeing the many sights this area has to offer. Sites are gravel and neat and the hookups all worked fine. Wi-Fi was reliable and fast. The staff was very friendly and helpful and suggested several places to visit too. Fast food and groceries are within easy walking distance too. We'd definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Rate reflects PA discount. This park is in a good location for visiting the space center and the beaches, but don't look at it as anything more than a place to spend the night. There wasn't anything to do here, and even walking our dog was a challenge with cars speeding through the park without regard for the speed limit or the safety of others. There was a cable TV connection but it did not work. However, our antenna pulled in many channels so that was not an issue for us. The outlet at our site was broken and the plug kept falling out, and the water hookup leaked through the faucet. The staff was very nice and helpful and that helped overcome the drawbacks. If you stay here be sure to ask for a site at the back of the park. The road noise at the front is loud and incessant. Next time I'll check around before coming back here.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Rate reflects PA discount. This is a beautiful, well maintained park with an extremely friendly staff who really made us feel welcome there. We were escorted to our concrete pull through site that was perfect for an overnight stay. The WI-Fi and utilities all functioned great too. This is an ideal spot for an overnight or as a base while seeing the area.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Rate reflects PA discount. This park was a great find! The owner and everyone we met there was very friendly and helpful. Sites are gravel and well spaced with many shade trees. Pool and grounds were clean and well maintained. Wi-Fi was fast and all hookups worked perfectly. The park was very peaceful with only a short drive to the beach or shopping. We'll definitely be coming back here again.


text: Hello, I'm a long time user of KMTTG, and I love it. I have been feeding my iPod and iPhone for years! Fast forward to 2013, and I now would like to feed my iPad, but my iPad wants to display only a picture in the movie library, not the name of the show. As it turns out, you need to set a "Poster Frame" for every video that you put in the iPad, or else you won't see the right thing, and you'll never be able to tell what show you're potentially clicking on... I do know the "Manual" way to do this in iTunes, but I really would like to automate this as part of a KMTTG, ffmpeg, or Handbrake command. So... The question: Does anyone know any ffmpeg or handbrake commands (Or any other software, Mac or PC) that will set the Poster Frame of a video from a jpg file? Typically the "Poster Frame" is the first frame of the video, but I'd prefer to set them from a jpg of the show title.


text: Stem Cell Therapy Regrows Craniofacial Tissues Category: Clinical Update Created: Thursday, 14 February 2013 14:53 Written by siteground Print Email In the first human study of its kind, researchers found that using stem cells to regrow craniofacial tissues—mainly bone—proved quicker, more effective, and less invasive than traditional bone regeneration treatments. Researchers from the University of Michigan (U-M) School of Dentistry and the Michigan Center for Oral Health Research partnered with Ann Arbor-based Aastrom Biosciences in the clinical trial, which involved 24 patients who required jawbone reconstruction after tooth removal. Patients either received experimental tissue repair cells or traditional guided bone regeneration therapy. The tissue repair cells, called ixmyelocel-T, are under development at Aastrom Biosciences, which is a U-M spinout company. The treatment is best suited for large defects such as those resulting from trauma, diseases, or birth defects. These defects are very complex because they involve several different tissue types—bone, skin, gingival tissue—and are very challenging to treat. The main advantage to the stem cell therapy is that it uses the patient's own cells to regenerate tissues, rather than introducing human-made, foreign materials. The results were promising. At 6 and 12 weeks following the experimental cell therapy treatment, patients in the study received dental implants. Patients who received tissue repair cells had greater bone density and quicker bone repair than those who received traditional guided bone regeneration therapy. In addition, the experimental group needed less secondary bone grafting when receiving their implants. The cells used for the therapy were originally extracted from bone marrow taken from patients' hips. The bone marrow was processed using Aastrom Biosciences' proprietary system, which allows many different cells to grow, including stem cells. These stem cells were then placed in different areas of the mouth and jaw. The next step is to perform more clinical trials that involve larger craniofacial defects in a larger number of patients. The study, entitled "Stem Cell Therapy for Craniofacial Bone Repair: A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial," appeared in the journal Cell Transplantation.

Elementary Number Theory
by William Edwin Clark
Publisher: University of South Florida 2002
Number of pages: 129
At first blush one might think that of all areas of mathematics certainly arithmetic should be the simplest, but it is a surprisingly deep subject. We assume that students have some familiarity with basic set theory, and calculus. To a great extent the book is self-contained. It requires only a certain amount of mathematical maturity. Before the course is over students will be introduced to the symbolic programming language Maple which is an excellent tool for exploring number theoretic questions.

Lesson learned!
We ordered in the beginning of September and were told to expect delivery around the end of October.
Well, I started tracking the vehicle (thanks Milous!), and discovered it was built and scheduled for Oct 9th delivery! However, that was right in the middle of my vacation which started Oct 1st.
Sooo....I talked my wife into delaying our departure for a week (we were going to go away for the first week and stay home for the second) so we could take our new Overland for a nice 700 mile highway break in ride.
She agreed, but once the Jeep arrived at a storage yard 70 miles from me, it stopped moving. Delivery slipped to 11th...oooook, a few days shaved off our vacation trip, no prob :o
We cleaned the garage to make room.
Then it slipped to the 12th. :eek:
We cleaned the garage some more.
I tracked down the road carrier (United Trucking), who assured me it would be delivered "within 24 hours" (this was on the 11th).
Wife --> :slapfight: Me
Now we started making room in the garage for the wife's Wrangler we'll buy when they put in the Pentastar - (I had to do something to placate an increasingly pissed wife).
On the 12th, they said the 14th, maybe the 15th :mad:
The salesman told me there was nothing they could do. I offered to pay a private carrier (whoever they use) to go get the damn thing. They weren't interested. I begged the sales manager to do whatever he could, but he essentially told me not to get my hopes up. I told him the deal might be lost if I can't get it in time.
That day, I checked every dealer within 150 miles. NOBODY had one in stock until I found a large dealership who said they had several of the Overlands I wanted in the same storage yard, and would be happy to go get one for me. I made it quite clear that this was a cash transaction, with no trade in, and explained why I was in such a rush. All they had to do was match the price on my existing deal. It told the salesman it was his lucky day :)
I didn't want to back out of the previous deal I made, but I really had little choice at that point (My 02 Grand has a passanger window that won't go up, and I didn't get it fixed because I was expecting to have the new one in time.)
Then the second dealer started playing games. It went from "we'll pick it up for you right away, and call you back in an hour" to no call after 7 hours. I called them back and the salesman was gone for the day :eek:
This morning I called, and they said, "oh yes, give us an hour, and we'll call you back". That was 6 hours ago. :mad:
I just got a call from the original dealership sales manager, who twisted some arms, and it's going to be at the dealership tonight!!! :thumbsup: I suspect the possibility of losing the deal might have helped motivate them to actually do something.
The lesson here is DO NOT COUNT ON YOUR JEEP BEING DELIVERED BY A CERTAIN DATE, NO MATTER HOW CLOSE IT IS! A week in a nearby parking lot is not uncommon. Like the trucking company in Brooklyn told me "Ey! We ain't FedEx ya know! It'll get there when it gets there" and don't blame me if you don't listen and it costs you a new Wrangler. :lol:
Re: Lesson learned!
Glad you're FINALLY getting it. Ford did that to me when I bought my 04 Harley Edition. It was the first one the dealer had sold. It was 3 weeks LATE! I was DIEIN' to get it. I also needed to turn my old Super Duty into a work truck for another crew.
It seems like in this day and age as bad as Chryco is hurting they would have busted ass to get it to you. Glad to hear everything turned out okay...... better late than never.
Re: Lesson learned!
"It'll get there when it gets there". They told you right :D
Re: Lesson learned!
you do understand that you have to post pics of your ride within 24hrs of receiving it, or else its an instaban! :P haha
Re: Lesson learned!
Re: Lesson learned!
the dealership i used in NY told me that even though the shipping point was right down the road (buffalo) they could NOT go and get the truck, even though it was sitting there for days.
they said that they had tried once to pick up from the yard there and were looking right at the car with all the paperwork etc. and they still couldn't have it.
strange how that works.
Re: Lesson learned!
Wow, Glowing! That shows a level of devotion to a new vehicle that I didn't know existed!
Bravo! You're the fanatic we all aspire to be!
Re: Lesson learned!
Re: Lesson learned!
Re: Lesson learned!
(Just between us though, I would still do it again if the Jeep was coming in during my vacation. No way would I want the ONLY Overland sitting at the dealer lot being used a demo for a week!).
Re: Lesson learned!
that sucks did you get it yet?
Re: Lesson learned!
Going to drool on it tonight, probobly not prepped until tomorrow morning though.

The very first Qur'anic injunction – to read – reminds us of the emphasis Islam places on the pursuit of knowledge and on engaging the human intellect. Education carries with it the ethical responsibility to apply learning for the benefit of humanity and Creation at large through both work and service.
In the spring of 2010, Harvard University, for the first time in its history, offered a course on Ismaili History and Thought. Harvard student Shenila S. Khoja-Moolji spoke with Professor Ali Asani about his experience designing and teaching it.
Each year, companies and charities offer more than $2 billion in private scholarships, which, in addition to being an attractive form of education financing, are also a prestigious form of recognition. But many scholarships go unfulfilled because nobody applies for them. Three students share tips from their scholarship successes.
It is believed to be one of the fastest growing forms of organised crime in the world, though most people ignore it or are simply unaware. But through a five-part series currently being aired on BBC World Television, executive producer Faridoun Hemani and researcher Jazzmin Jiwa hope to change that. They assert that human trafficking is a modern form of slavery.
It is a little past three in the morning on a foggy, Seattle Sunday, but a group of women are already armed and ready with a carpool list, tea, and that month's novel tucked under their arms. Since February 2009, the book club's members meet every first Sunday of the month to discuss books as varied and diverse as the women in their group.
Decades ago, Bangladesh was home to a thriving Jamat. Ismailis were active in key industries including jute, textiles, steel, aluminum, leather, construction, and food processing, as well as trading, banking, insurance and hotels. Today, the country is re-emerging as an area of economic interest to both the Jamat and the wider international community.
Twelve years ago, Abyd Karmali witnessed the negotiation of the Kyoto Protocol to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing on his experience, he discusses the crucial importance of the upcoming meeting in Copenhagen in addressing the current reality of the climate change crisis.
In a colourful and historic ceremony held on Friday, 12 June, the University of Cambridge conferred upon Mawlana Hazar Imam an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity. Hazar Imam became the first Muslim to receive the distinction in the University's long and storied history.
That students at the University of Alberta are inspired to make an international impact through their activities is no coincidence. Their school is engaged in an array of international collaborations around the world, a fact remarked upon by Mawlana Hazar Imam in his convocation address.
Professor Arif Babul is an astrophysicist whose research into the origins of the universe is just one aspect of his multi-faceted career. A Distinguished Professor at the University of Victoria, he directs the Canadian Computational Cosmology Collaboration, and is an advocate for strengthened Muslim-West relations.
In February, an eminent panel convened in London as part of the Ismaili Centre Lecture Series to discuss global warming and its impact on the developing world. The panel turned its attention to the social impact of climate change, particularly in the developing world.
In this reflective piece, Aliyyah Giga, an alumnus of The Institute of Ismaili Studies' Summer Programme on Islam, shares some personal lessons that she drew from her experience of the programme.
Continuous learning is essential in a rapidly-globalising world. New forms of communication are allowing access to information that was once hard to reach, and the rate at which people around the world are sharing new types of knowledge is growing.
Ismailis interested in tackling pressing issues faced by societies around the world increasingly see the Graduate Programme in Islamic Studies and Humanities as a stepping stone. The multi-disciplinary programme is a bridge to new and exciting opportunities.
Uncertainty always signals a need for caution. But spectacular payoffs, writes Professor Alnoor Bhimani, can also accrue from the opportunities that are presented by uncertainty.
The ability to adapt and continue learning is an essential skill in a fast-paced and rapidly-changing world. The Ismaili Council for the European Union has launched a programme which aims to turn learning into a continuous and natural process in the life of every Ismaili in Europe.
Six Canadian Ismailis were recently named to prestigious "Top 40 Under 40" lists for their achievements, vision, leadership and community involvement. They attribute their success to the values instilled in them as Ismaili Muslims, as well as the opportunity to thrive in the fields they love.
In February 2008 the Aga Khan Education Services, Uganda, held its first Ismaili Young Achiever's Programme (IYAP). This recognition programme celebrates the academic and extra-curricular accomplishments of the youth of the Jamat.
Society has high hopes for the youth given their potential to change the destiny of nations. The Prottasha (Bengali for "expectations") Youth Camp aimed to instill those aspirations in the youth of Bangladesh.

The Blue Bayou Animal Shelter was probably the first shelter, in
this area, that supported our surrounding towns. It was located between
Nashville and Lockesburg, on HWY 371, and provided a service to the
towns and county for a fee. The shelter received so many strays and
unwanted pets, but not enough money to keep the service going, so
eventually shut down.
In 1997 the following towns, Dierks, Mineral Springs,
Murfreesboro, Nashville and Tollette, were still having a problem with
strays and pets running at large, so they decided to put their funds
together and establish their own city shelter.
Currently, the following towns are serviced by the shelter: The cities of Delight, Dierks, Mineral Springs, Murfreesboro, Nashville, and Washington.

text: My 2007 X3 (build 5/11/2007) should be at the dealer today or tomorrow. When I was there finalizing the finance issues (got a great deal with advice from the Ask-a-Dealer forum, btw), I asked the parts dept about getting a Sirius unit. The X3 now comes with Sat prep standard, but they plugged in my new vin and said the install required recoding from the service dept. to work. Does anyone know if this is true? They're quoting 30 minutes for install, but my guess is that the service dept will charge me 2 hours for the re-coding, if it needs it.

Hey guys, i'm new to these boards, to WRX's, and to cars in general, so please bear with me
Recently I left my 2002 Wrx with 44k miles on it (New car to me, i've put about 2k on it) in a school parking lot overnight, when i left in the morning, I noticed that the back windsheild had been painted on, a class of 2008/2007 rivalry, so I dont know if this was vandalism or something I did.
Up unto this night/morning, the car was working absolutly perfectly, when I got into the car to drive home in the morning, I noticed a squeeling sound as soon as I started the car, that didnt go away until I hit about 3krpm in first, and then started again as i switched to 2nd, and so on. After about .5 miles, the car self destructed on me..
The check engine light started to blink
The battery light came on solid
The Brake light came on solid
Steering wheel locked up
Gas pedal became harder to push
Clutch became harder to push
Now naturally I shifted neutral and pulled the car over off asap, after about 15 minutes of looking through everything, I noticed 3 disconnected wires by the open hood latch (Inside the car) but I cant find where they plug into.. I had to drive the car home like this, as much as I didnt want to, and when i was heading home I heard a very loud knocking in the engine that got faster the longer I stayed in gear, and went away rapidly as i shifted to N.
If anyone has any idea what the problem may be, or how to fix it, please let me know, I'm freaking out
Edit: forgot to add, the only aftermarket part on my car is a ANSA Silverline exhaust

Derrick Brooks Says HOF Speech Already Being Written
BY: John Mamola
Pro Football Hall Of Fame enshrinee Derrick Brooks took a visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week to take a tour and find out exactly where his bust will lay forever in Canton, Ohio. The Class of 2014 won't call the Hall home until August 2nd, but Brooks told WDAE's 'The Sports Page' Wednesday morning that his speech following being inducted is already in progress.
"My acceptance speech I put a little bit down everyday in my mind about it," said Brooks. "Part of it this year because two networks are carrying the ceremony, so much has to be done towards respect for tv and the other enshrines and their speeches. They're really going to be on us about staying at around the seven minute mark. I'm going to do my best to do that, but there is some important things that need to be said that's coming from me."
Brooks said he'll leave plenty of room to speak from his heart in his acceptance speech and plans that the emotions will get to him during the event.

Mind Your Psychiatric Symptoms at Work
If you have a psychiatric disability and hold down a job in a workplace where most of the employees do not share this disability, you have a variety of stressful situations to deal with. Because of the stigma attached to mental illness, it's hard to decide whether to share this personal information with coworkers and supervisors.
And whichever route you take, you may have fears about acting or looking weird while you're working. Here are five suggestions for alleviating some of the stress:
1. Make Sure Your Job Matches Your Coping Skills
If you hear voices often despite medication and listening to music is a good way to tune them out, working in an office or a job site where you can have headphones or a radio may be a good option. If pressure to keep up with a hectic pace jangles your nerves, stay away from the restaurant industry, assembly-type jobs or publishing. Look for calmer settings.
2. Change Tasks Frequently or Take Breaks If Concentrating Is a Problem
Many people like variety in their work; you are not alone in needing to shift your attention from one task to another. Frequent but brief breaks may be an accommodation you need to request from your employer. If you do take breaks, find ways to do it that don't look too obvious to other workers who are not granted this privilege. Smoking breaks every hour will call attention to you. Talk with your boss about how you can change what you are doing legitimately.
3. Make a Few Friends at Work
People who have been out of the workforce for periods of psychiatric hospitalization or time in the mental health system often feel different and are fearful of socializing with people who haven't shared their experiences and may not understand. But staying apart from others only confirms you are different in their eyes. Becoming friendly with a few people doesn't mean you have to share your life story, but it can make you feel like you have some allies and give you another reason to enjoy coming to work.
4. Have a Strong Support System Outside Work
This should include your doctor and therapist (if you're working with one) and your family. But one of the best things you can do for yourself is to find or begin a support group of other people with a psychiatric history who are working regular jobs. Many, if not all, of them will be facing similar situations and feeling as you are. This is a group where you can discuss your fears, attempts to cope and successes. You can get feedback and discover strategies that others have used to deal with difficult situations at work. A good rule of thumb is one-third complaining time and two-thirds "what are we going to do to make things better?" time. There are more people than you know in the work arena who are being treated for psychiatric conditions. Your psychiatrist, therapist or other mental health professionals may help you find people who would be interested in a support group.
5. Stay on a Regime You Know Keeps You Stable
If your medication works, don't take med vacations without your doctor's support and until you are well-situated in your job. Sleep disorders are often part of the illness, but you need to keep your wits about you, so ask for help if this is a problem. Always eat healthy. Stay away from substances you know will impair your functioning, and get regular exercise -- one of the best stress releasers of all.
There will be times when you will be doing well and working at a high performance level. Other times, you will wonder whether you can get out of bed in the morning, or maybe feel so high that work seems beside the point. Those are the times when you need to reach out to your support system.

gearhead80 wrote:I guess that sums it up... Maybe
To address concerns of waterfowl hunters and anglers, the agency had Tim Andryk, director of WDNR Bureau of Legal Services, review the issue. Andryk said the USFWS has "authority to close their facilities and boat landings, but they cannot close the river to fishing and hunting, and federal officers who cite people for that risk personal liability in state court for violating the state constitutional right to hunt and hunter interference law."

riverrat47 wrote:EdL,
I'm going to set up a cottage industry. If the Corps closes Blanchard (which was open last night), Crosses will be the only ramp, except Muscatine, in Pool 17. I'm going to put up a toll booth and charge $5.00 for launching, $2.00/hr. for parking or $40.00 for an annual permit. I figure could get away with it for a week or two (maybe years) before anyone in Springfield caught on.
riverrat47 wrote:Going downstream, Pool 18: New Boston, Keithsburg and Oquawka are municipal ramps. Toolsboro is USFWS and there is another ramp on the Iowa side, downstream of Keithsburg that is Iowa DNR's, I believe. Pool 19: I think they are all municipal or state owned. Same is true for most pools to the south. There are some, like Saverton & Clarksville, Mo that are Corps (both tailwater ramps) and Turner Landing in Calhoun county is USFWS, and I believe that Canton Chute and Bear Creek access areas (Pool 21) are Corps run, but not sure. Down in the St. Louis Corps District, the Corps Riverlands group basically "claimed" access areas that weren't being maintained by the state. As I'm no longer traveling to those areas, I don't know what's going on with them.
Even if they close all federal ramps, there may be the inconvenience of a longer drive or boat ride, but not an insurmountable problem.

Local police departments reached an agreement with the feds before the shutdown to provide patrol of those ramps during the shutdown so they could remain open. This includes boat launching only, restrooms, camping etc... are shutdown.

There are signs on the bathroom doors and on a wood sign next to the ramp, stating that the area is CLOSED for camping and day use, which would include launching. However, the signs are about 8x10" and typed so you have to get right up to them to read them, and would easy to miss, especially in the dark. There is a gate at the entrance but it was obviously open. I don't know what to make of the signs and gate. Also,I don't know how Corps Rangers are to deal with, but USFWS wardens can, and often are, very hardazzed, making IRS agents look warm and fuzzy.
The guy who mentioned that Michelson's was open may want to check for signs. Isn't that a USFWS ramp?

My 1988 Cadillac Cimarron 2.8L M.P.F.I Car Runs Great. Dies sometimes at stop signs.
My 1988 Cadillac Cimarron 2.8L M.P.F.I Car Runs Great; but Dies sometimes at stop signs; but never dies when I have my A/C on. At idle at times the engine slightly decreases and increases idle at around 100 rpm variation; but not all the time. Sporatic. Seems like some vacuum leak; but I checked every vacuum related item under the hood and found no vaccum leaks. Like said when i run my A/C it idles perfect and never dies at all. I'm beginning to think it's something under the dashboard with the A/C vacuum controlled parts when the unit is turned off is possibly having a slight vacuum leak. Do any of you know the A/C system enough on this car that you can tell me what it is that will cause a vacuum leak in the A/C system only when it's turned off? The Vin is W for my 2.8L Engine.
All these parts I replaced listed below in the last year and recent also; but I did not replace them over this problem I am having now. I have been restoring the cars parts due to the milage for preventive measures for my own comfort level. I love this car so I have been restoring it mechanically, electrically, etc. I want to keep this car no matter what others think about these Cimarrons.
I replaced the ECM, Fuel Injectors, Fuel Pump Relay, Fuel Pump MAP Sensor, IAC Motor, TPS Sensor, Crank Sensor, EGR Valve and EGR Sensor, Transmission Clutch Solenoid and Clutch transmission fluid pressure switch, Replaced the Ignition Control Module and all three coil packs, new spark plugs and wires, new air filter and fuel filter, Coolant Sensor, Throttle Body, Rebuilt Automatic Transmission. Struts, Shocks, All Vacuum Hoses and Lines, etc.
Re: My 1988 Cadillac Cimarron 2.8L M.P.F.I Car Runs Great. Dies sometimes at stop sig
I was hoping someone would step up with some ideas but the truth is that we see only 1 or 2 Cimarron owners here a year. Mainly We're mostly Catera owners and since our cars have nothing in common the only help from us would be pure guesswork. My suggestion is to look for forums of cars that use the 2.8L V6, the Fiero forums maybe. I'm sure there are others. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful. Good Luck.

Re: My 1988 Cadillac Cimarron 2.8L M.P.F.I Car Runs Great. Dies sometimes at stop sig
Just saw this post, I am a proud 1986 Cimarron owner - and still drive it!!!! People love it!!!
Anyway - I know a lot about these cars - as I do all my work myself. And reading these problems I notice that the fuel pressure regulator wasn't changed - it is controlled by a vacuum line which runs/connects from the Throttle Body area after the MAF sensor, to the pressure regulator. You must remove the top of the intake (as you did to change the injectors) to access the fuel pressure regulator. The rubber diaphram in the regulator fails and causes fuel to leak and be sucked into the vaccum hose - which then is injected through the air intake - which floods out the engine -or surges the engine...
The injectors will test good and work properly.
If there is no spark present when this failure occurs - does the tach work when you are cranking the engine?

ATLANTA, June 1, 2011 – Since its inception in 1929 The Museum of Modern Art, New York (MoMA), has been at the forefront of recognizing pivotal moments of radical change in twentieth-century design through its exhibition and collection program. As part of the High Museum of Art's ongoing collaboration with MoMA, "Modern by Design" will present a selection of works chronicling three key moments in MoMA's design collection and exhibition history—"Machine Art" (1934), "Good Design" (1950–1955) and "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" (1972)—that heralded groundbreaking aesthetic movements and intellectual considerations. Nearly 150 objects created by more than 120 of the most influential artists and designers of the twentieth century will be included. A companion installation will incorporate 23 works by eleven designers from the High's growing collection of contemporary design. The exhibition will be on view exclusively in Atlanta from June 4 through August 21, 2011. "MoMA has consistently set the bar for design aesthetics throughout the twentieth century, particularly through their creation of the first-ever art museum department devoted to architecture and design," said David Brenneman, the High's Director of Collections and Exhibitions. "While at the time certain exhibitions and acquisitions often sparked controversy and debate, the ideas and objects that they introduced now serve as the canon of modernist design. The High's companion installation will extend the visitor's design experience to the present day with new acquisitions for our own growing collection of contemporary work." "Modern by Design" continues a multi-year, multi-exhibition collaboration between the High and MoMA. The collaboration was launched in 2009 with "Monet Water Lilies." Following "Modern by Design," the High will present a major exhibition exploring the work of twelve of the most important artists of the twentieth century: Brancusi, Calder, de Chirico, Duchamp, Johns, Léger, Matisse, Miró, Mondrian, Picasso, Pollock and Warhol. A second large-scale exhibition and two additional focus shows are in development for 2012 and 2013. Machine Art The first key moment the exhibition will highlight is the year 1934, with a look at work featured in MoMA's "Machine Art" exhibition, curated by Philip Johnson that year. "Machine Art" showcased machines, machine parts, scientific instruments and everyday objects―from springs, ball bearings, and propellers to calipers, glass wares and furniture. Displayed in the galleries against white walls with platforms and dramatic lighting, these objects were presented for the first time at the level of fine art, which celebrated their functionalism and aesthetic purity. The exhibition in turn boosted sales of these attainable American-made products and was the first in MoMA history to contribute works to the collection. Eighteen objects by 13 designers will be part of the installation at the High. Good Design Eager to cultivate a taste for modernism and shape consumer culture at large, MoMA at mid-century exhibited numerous works of so-called Good Design including furniture, textiles, lighting and everyday objects such as vegetable peelers, an ax, a clothes hamper and a plumb bob. These were famously displayed in the competition/exhibition series "Good Design" (1950–1955), directed by Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. This second highlighted moment is presented in the context of its significant precursors, the tremendously successful competitions (and their corresponding exhibitions) "Organic Design in Home Furnishing" (1940–1941) and the "International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture" (1948–1950). In all of these projects MoMA joined forces with manufacturers and designers to promote new aesthetics and affordable products. Key works in this section include furniture by the young designers Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen, colorful textiles by Alexander Girard, Tupperware and abstract, sculptural lamps by George Nelson and Greta von Nessen. As a testament to their enduring popularity, some of these works are still in production today. The High will feature 109 objects by 78 designers in this section of the exhibition. Italy: The New Domestic LandscapeIn 1972 "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape" addressed the idea of modernism in the context of 1960s and 1970s counterculture, and serves as the third key moment explored in the exhibition. Focusing on the international significance of contemporary Italian design as well as new ideas about casual and flexible lifestyles, the works on display illustrated the growing divergence between modernist design and radical "anti-design," setting the tone for postmodernism in the decades to come. Aimed at youth culture and using such new materials as plastic and polyurethane foam, Pop-inspired designs such as the "Blow" inflatable chair (1967) by De Pas, Lomazzi and D'Urbino and the "Malitte" seating system (1966) by Matta have become icons of the period. Twenty-one objects by 30 designers will be part of the installation at the High. Selections from the High Museum of Art In conjunction with Modern by Design, the High will present an installation of late-twentieth- and early-twenty-first-century design drawn from the High's growing permanent collection. Two new major commissioned installations by Dutch designer Joris Laarman and the Japanese design collective nendo will be featured: Laarman's Digital Matter and nendo's Visible Structures. In total, eleven artists featured will represent the diversity and international character of the field today, with 23 recently acquired works, including prototypes, limited editions, and industrial production by the foremost Western and non-Western designers from two generations. Featured designers include Ettore Sottsass (Italian, 1917-2007); Johanna Grawunder (American, born 1961); Shiro Kuramata (Japanese, 1934-1991); nendo (Japanese, established 2002); Patrick Jouin (French, born 1967); Hella Jongerius (Dutch, born 1963); FRONT Design (Swedish, established 2003); Marc Newson (Australian, born 1963); Zaha Hadid (Iraqi, born 1950); Ron Arad (Israeli, born 1951); and Joris Laarman (Dutch, born 1979). Exhibition Organization and Support"Modern by Design" is part of the MoMA Series, a collaboration between The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the High Museum of Art, Atlanta. It is organized by Juliet Kinchin, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, and Aidan O'Connor, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with David Brenneman, Director of Collections and Exhibitions and Frances B. Bunzl Family Curator of European Art, High Museum of Art, and Berry Perkins, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Decorative Arts and Design, High Museum of Art.

High Museum of ArtThe High Museum of Art, founded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, is the leading art museum in the Southeastern United States. With more than 12,000 works of art in its permanent collection, the High Museum of Art has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American decorative arts; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, photography and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists and is distinguished as the only major museum in North America to have a curatorial department specifically devoted to the field of folk and self-taught art. The High's media arts department produces acclaimed annual film series and festivals of foreign, independent and classic cinema. In November 2005 the High opened three new buildings designed by architect Renzo Piano that more than doubled the Museum's size, creating a vibrant "village for the arts" at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown Atlanta. For more information about the High, please visit www.High.org. The Woodruff Arts Center The Woodruff Arts Center is ranked among the top four arts centers in the nation. The Woodruff is unique in that it combines four visual and performing arts divisions on one campus as one not-for-profit organization.

Funny men Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis take part in a Hall of Fame event to promote their movie
Keyword: hockey hall of fame, will ferrell, zach galifianakis
By now you know that besides Taylor Stevens, Will Ferrell has become a staple in the NHL and has always associated himself with the Los Angeles Kings and for good reason. Coming along for the ride is another one of Hollywood's funny guys Zach Galifianakis who has teamed up with Ferrell to make one hell of a Wolf Pack in their new movie "The Campaign".
The duo made a spectacular grand entrance when arriving to the Hockey Hall of Fame in fashion, on a decked out Zamboni as Will Ferrell made taunting "Let's Go Kings" chants as he entered the building.
It is amazing to see the look of awe on Ferrells face, like he is looking at his first set of boobs.

Still looking for developer! Let's go guys, I can't believe it there's no developers to make a partnership with.
Been working with some people here but then I decided to find a partner developer – So far only one guy has proven fully reliable. It took me, personally, months to find a reliable coder that I can fully work with on our visions.
I think and I am not exaggerating, I've tried over 5-6 developers in a short amount of time. People aren't really interested in partnerships. They just want an off-time payment and I wouldn't blame them. All of them ended up with "I dropped my Laptop in Lava." or "The Flying Fish Dinosaur stepped onto my laptop.". It really doesn't matter what the quality of an item is, you can be the king of design/code – It's still not guaranteed to sell. So in such "shaky waters", I wouldn't blame them, personally. Objectively – it's a 50/50. You can roll the dice and earn big or you you can roll the dice and earn nothing. (Really, $2k is nothing. Perhaps somebody thinks it's worth something, but to work ~1-2 months on a theme for that return? No way.).
Perhaps you're looking at the problem from the utopian angle of "Why can't I find a dev? They should be easy to find!".
It's indeed very hard to form a partnership (speaking of two individuals who've known each other, for example), because each of them has his/her own interests and to match them – that would be very hard, especially in the era where Paranoia begins to be reasonable.
My personal advice which I hope would aid you: Add pictures with women, add shadows, add totally inconsistent shapes & fonts and it should sell.
Just kidding – but keep searching! Perhaps the answer is closer (literally, try your city) to you than you think. .
Found a developer, finally! Please close this thread as soon as possible!

Fast forward, we were playing with the GPS and realised that it could find restaurants nearby the area i.e. Saujana where it popped up Niu Ze Xui which was 2 km away.
Well, no hesitation in finally seeing the hyped up place.
Although driving through; what seemed like low cost housing and a near desserted commercial area wasn't what i had in mind.
Almost no restaurants left, there even had a coffee place with furniture and equipment and all, just left closed. All you could find was a Full House, the place where you find decor plays a bigger part than food, Daorae, not surprised since there are literally opened everywhere and a humble looking Japanese restaurant called Kansai.
Prices are around RM15-25 range for a dish with rice, probably more if you order anything more exclusive. Googled the place and realised that since opening they have been running a 10% discount promotion till now!
So if you find yourself stuck in the Ara Damansara area, daring enough to drive to almost desserted town, wanting to eat Japanese food, its an option. Otherwise, Subang is 5 minute drive away and has a whole street of Japanese dining.
Address and contact:
Pusat Dagangan NZX, Ara Jaya, 47301 PJ
Tel : 7883 0138
Verdict: 3 stars out of 5 stars. You pay for what you get, value japanese food. Pray the place actually stays alive.

Anthea McConachy
Specialty: The Regency novels of Georgette Heyer
Appeared: Episode 34, 12/10/2008
600 points
Anthea is a 25 year old Bachelor of Arts graduate from Geelong who occupies her time working in a scrapbooking shop, teaching scrapbooking, volunteering in her church office and running an adolescent female Youth Group.
- Heyer wrote over 50 novels, covering various genres.
- Heyer created the Regency genre of novels.
- Heyer was born in 1902, which makes her novels remarkable because she was writing about a different period in history.
- The detail of her research is amazing; she describes in minute detail things such as the clothing of the characters, their modes of transport, as well as using the correct language and slang of the day.
- Heyer's regency heroines have many interesting names, such as Venetia and Ancilla, but it wasn't until I'd read a few that I found out that the heroine of "The Unknown Ajax" has the same name as me - Anthea.

Background: Font color:
Chapter One: Curious
I dare you to ask out Sirius Black. The words slipped off of her tongue before she really got the chance to think about them.
They were sitting in the dormitory together, each with an open textbook in their laps, both trying to catch up on forgotten homework. They had a few moments alone before having to go down for breakfast.
Leah thought about how to respond to such a challenge. Ask out Pretty Boy? Thats not a dare, thats an assignment.
Her friend laughed quietly, already knowing the answer to what she was about to ask. Why do you say that?
Because, she started, havent you noticed he has the tendency to go out with anyone wholl offer? Besides, he has a girlfriend at the moment.
Gina scrunched up her nose. You really think that theyre going to make it past this week? Have you seen the looks shes been throwing him?
So this shouldnt be a problem for you.
Leah shook her head. It shouldnt be, but it is. Im not going to ask a guy out because of a dare. Thats incredibly shallow, even for Pretty Boy.
Well I want to see how long you can stand him. Hes an arse. Everyone knows that. I mean you know what hes famous for
Leah dipped her quill delicately in the pot of black ink and twirled it around her fingers. Sirius Black, she said slowly, weighing the words, is famous because he has dated more girls than any one person at this school. Yet has never once asked out a girl nor been the one to break things off.
You would think, started Gina, that people would have gotten the hint by now.
You say that and yet you just dared me to ask him out.
Oh, I was just joking. But think about it: Sirius is constantly being asked out because each girl is hopeful that hell treat her with respectthat shes the one. But they are always wrong. Once they figure that out they publicly dump him. And since hes so good-looking, he gets asked out again.
And around the circle goes, Leah finished.
Ginas theory was proven to be correct at breakfast that morning. The view was not as good from the Ravenclaw table, but that hardly mattered. Anyone within twenty feet of the Great Hall saw and heard Amber Clements break up with Pretty Boy.
Nice call, Leah muttered to Gina as she loaded eggs onto her plate.
Thanks, the white blonde girl whispered back. Why are the break-ups always so public?
Leah shrugged. I think girls just want to make sure everyone knows theyre over.
Gina grinned. I wonder what he did to set her off.
A boy sitting beside them overheard this and turned around. Someone said he walked away to his mates in the middle of her trying to tell him something.
Leah laughed to herself. Oh come on. Thats not that bad.
It probably all built up and that did it, remarked the boy.
Well...hes certainly done worse...
She glanced over at the couple standing in the middle of the hall. Amber was ranting and raving, pink-faced, her golden locks flying.
never able to support me. You care more about your bloody self than any other being in this universe. Its disgusting. Youre disgusting. Why cant you be like a normal boyfriend who actually cares for the girl he dates? Ill tell you why: because youre afraid of a little commitment afraid that a girl will mess up your oh-so-perfect life with your perfectly sculpted hair and bloody damn perfect clothes. Well you know what? You make me sick! Were over, Sirius. So go and enjoy that perfect life of yours. It obviously would do far better without me in it. She stormed out of the hall, leaving Sirius standing there, quite alone.
That, breathed Gina. was bad.
Leah was still looking at Sirius when she answered. Nah, he didnt get slapped this time.
But, sure observed, he sure looked as if he had. His best friend, James Potter, was now standing there with him.
For some reason, Leah could not stop herself from looking at the boy. The rest of the Great Hall had resumed eating their breakfast now that the excitement was over. They were used to the public displays of Siriuss break-ups and once the fireworks went off, they only had to tend to their own business for a few weeks before the next show.
But the curly blonde kept staring. Was she the only one who noticed that Sirius appeared different? There was something else there, but she could not put her finger on exactly what it was. His arms were crossed and his eyes were cast downwards. It was different she knew that. Different from his normal blasé expression, at least. Finally another emotion was almost showing itself. And for a momentonly a momentSirius was personified. He was almost human. It was like she was finally seeing Sirius Black as a real teenage boy, not an expressionless robot. But what that meant, she had not idea. And when she tried to look harder tried to read the expression further it was gone. He was back to his normal self, if that was even considered normal.
Leah watched as James spoke with Sirius, a slight grin playing around his features. James had always been the first to reach the scene when a break up took place. True, honest friendship.
And as they spoke, Leah felt something. She thought back to the brief moment when Sirius face showed a foreign emotion. She had to admit, she was curious. She felt like there may be something there in that empty shell and she really wanted to know what it was; where it could lead to. Why it even existed in the first place.
No, she had only told Gina that morning she would never meddle in that business. Never try to understand Pretty Boy. It was unexplored territory, and once one put her foot upon that path, there was no turning back around.
Still, though, this was interesting. She could make an exception. She need not worry about rejection, for he never turned anyone down. Anyone and everyone who wanted a good snog could get him. He was almost like a rent-a-boyfriend.
Could she subject her pride to that? But wait. Leah grinned, for something had just occurred to her. Something that could be either very good or very bad. Either way it ended, something engrossing was sure to happen. And Leah definitely liked engrossing.
Without realizing it, she was standing up, ignoring Ginas questions.
Aware that several pairs of eyes were following her, she walked straight-backed up to Sirius Black.
Leah was not sure what possessed her to do this. She had never been that brave. But whenever she thought of backing down or turning back she remembered that look on his face.
Ignoring James, who was taking a sip from his goblet of pumpkin juice, she faced Sirius, unnerved by her own intrepidity. His eyes were back to normal now like steel: cold and lifeless.
Taking a breath, she said, Do you want to go with me to Hogsmeade next weekend?
There were now many more pairs of eyes on her, all looking stunned. James choked on his beverage and his own eyes widened at her bluntness (for most girls liked to act witty in the hopes of charming Pretty Boy.) It was only Sirius who had not moved as the whispers broke out around them. Uh if you want to.
Leah nodded. Ill see you in the Entrance Hall.
She turned on her heel and walked back to her own table.
Back at the Ravenclaw table, Gina was staring at Leah incredulously. What the hell did you just do?
Leah was thinking the exact same thing.
A/N You're probably confused. More will be explained about what exactly is going on and what Leah's big idea is next chapter. I don't know how well I portrayed Sirius' "dating history." Let me know how I did. All comments are appreciated. I'm looking to improve my style and my ability to convey a good story. Thank you!
