Hey i just met you,
and this is crazy,
but we're roommates, yeah

| Itsonlyme chapter 9 . 10/4/2011
The blond suckled one of Harry's dusty nipples.
It ruined the moment for me because all I could imagine was cobwebs on Harry's nipple and a little spider hanging off it with Draco's face looking like o.O
This story needs reviewing by a beta reader. It is a shame because this story has a lot of potential, but the grammar and spelling is letting it down a lot for me.
Myself being British i notice a lot of Americanised words and it is quite annoying for a Brit to read. A LOT of people make this mistake so don't worry.
Keep going with the writing, these things come with time, you seem to have a good imagination and it takes a lot to write a fiction.
Hope i don't sound too harsh and that you take it as constructive criticism. Keep it up!

noooooo nonononono thas bad thas very very bad! TToTT
| DELETEDFORGOODDDDDD chapter 7 . 5/5/2011
I really don't like this Harry. no wonder Draco calls him kid, Harry act like a kid. I mean seriously. And if Harry and Ron do hook up I will be so mad. I don't read Harry/Ron fan fiction. But I am going to keep reading cause despite Harry's childness I am enjoying this story.
| DELETEDFORGOODDDDDD chapter 4 . 5/5/2011
This story is good so far. Ron seems like he is jealous and a jerk. And boy you have some grammar mistakes. You should really re-read your work before posting cause there are quite a few mistakes.

Ancient Greeks laid the foundations for contemporary theater by composing the first plays and stealing the first Tony Awards from Mount Olympus. Celebrate theatrical progress with today's GrouponLive deal to see Motel Tropicana: An Adult Series of Short No-Tells at Obsidian Art Space in Houston Heights. For $10, you get one ticket for general-admission seating in the theaters middle section, which is reserved for Groupon customers (up to a $20 value). Student tickets are regularly $10. All performances begin at 8 p.m., the lobby doors open at 7 p.m., and seating begins after 7:40 p.m. Audience members must be 17 or older. Choose from the following dates:
Flatironing a corner in historic Houston Heights, Obsidian Art Space was cofounded by Leighza Walker and Tom Stell, whose artistic prowess spurred the Houston Press to herald the theater as 2011s Best New Arts Venue. The company stays true to its dedication to new work with Motel Tropicana: An Adult Series of Short No-Tells, 10 short, edgy plays written by 10 scribes from around the country, all taking place under the seedy roof of a motel. Tension slowly tightens its vice in Piercing the Skin, and an array of twisted, yet colorful characters fill out the rest of the vignettes, making for stories seedier than a watermelon wearing a trench coat. Steering the dramaturgical decathlon of avant-garde vignettes and intermission pole-vaulting heats are six directors, including Walker, the theater's managing director.

When dining in public, proper etiquette dictates that you should keep your elbows off the table and your table off the neighboring tables. Mind your manners with this Groupon.
$7 for $14 Worth of Deli Sandwiches and Quiche
Patrons can select from a menu of fresh deli items, including a make-your-own omelet ($6.95) and made-from-scratch quiche with salad ($8.95). Alternatively, they can order a whole sandwich ($5.95) made with their choice of eight breads, including cheddar-onion rolls and marble rye, as well as 24 toppings, such as turkey, corned beef, alfalfa sprouts, or tiger sauce.
Loaf & Jug Restaurant
The Loaf & Jug Restaurant was opened more than 35 years ago to serve the customer overflow from the nearby Proud Topover Restaurant. Serving fresh, deli style meals for the lunchtime rush has been their goal, and over the years the restaurant has gathered its own loyal following. Recently they moved to a new, more modern space to accommodate their growing clientele and this spot is also available for private parties and events.
When customers enter, the first thing they see is a large menu board and below that, a pastry chef tossing and pressing fresh piecrust. Once, they've torn their eyes away from that hypnotic sight, customers start their order by filling out a form for a sandwich or quiche, soup, and toppings. As the request goes down the line, staff members prepare dishes using the best quality ingredients available, including locally grown apples and sourdough bread from Boudine in San Francisco. Patrons move along the counter, keeping their eyes focused on their orders, and trying not to drool when looking at slices of banana crème and Door County cherry pie. Once meals are complete, patrons can take a seat by the two-sided fireplace that divides the dining room or–in the summer months–they can eat on the outdoor patio to enjoy a side of fresh oxygen with their meals.

paper dielectric caps might be preferred in some systems (maybe "solid scrape" ?) What are they doing to the signal? How well do they mix in parallel with other types in your crossovers ?
Karlson Evangelist
Follow Ups:
oil filled caps paper or plastic seem to soften sharp leading edge transients of the signal then they blossom. The oil provides damping and makes them sound more composed some might say warmer sounding. Some non oil filled plastic caps can sound very sterile and sharp.
moray james
Soften the signal in any way, shape or form-- TRASH IT!
"Warmer" sounding? TRASH IT!
"provides damping"? TRASH THE !@#$!@#$!@#$!@# THING!
"Sterile and sharp"? COULD BE your electronics, not the
caps, or it could be CHEAP capacitor construction.....
These are all unusable (for music) characteristics,
and is why people lust after better/boutique capacitors.
Fortunately, mostly the Germans are finally mass-producing
some lesser-cost items that actually work..... and
do THE WHOLE THING (musically) somewhat right...
Forget about NOS or Military unless you intend to leave-out
parts of music in an attempt to please yourself (or others)
rather than have the real thing musically.
Is it possible that a cap that sounds soft, compared to other caps, only does so because it's not adding high frequency energy (caused by non-damped ringing) that the other caps are?
I say the way to hear this for yourself is to place a cap in the signal path where you don't need a cap.
Does the cap (vs. no cap) change the sound?
Do damped caps (oil caps) sound more like a piece of wire compared to dry film caps?
If you have no point of reference then you can be fooled and the cap that is getting it right might sound soft to you while the cap that is adding high frequency energy might sound "clear and bright" to you and you think that's right because it "pleases" you but, in fact, it's totally wrong.
In your post you show no method for determining the true difference between the sound of capacitors. You just make pronouncements.
That gets old Dennis.

"Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems to characterise our age." Albert Einstein
OK. I'll bite. What are some of the German Caps that are better? I assume that they are better as they are "neutral?" but how would do we define that and however it is that they are better.
Dennis uses Mundorf in his amps, probably in wild positions like cathode bypass, unless I'm mistaken. Pretty cool really.
I've not had success with Mundorf to date and sing with the chorus that they emphasise treble slightly; they did not sound as I expected. They probably work very well in otherwise rolled off, warm-sounding systems.
I'll be trying ClarityCap (C)MR and AuriCap XO metalised film when I can't afford or fit true foils.
Yes, I know, this stuff is highly subjective and dependent on one's perspective...
"Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems to characterise our age." Albert Einstein
I suppose Mundorf and Audyn are the first that come to mind.

OBJ blames 'former President' for lifting ban on toothpicks without even reading the document. That President is Jonathan
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday in Kaduna state alluded to a former Nigerian president who reversed a standing ban on importation of toothpick without reading the document. He however did not name the former president.
The former leader was speaking at a seminar organised by the The Kaduna Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (KADCCIMA) to flag off the 38th Kaduna International Trade Fair. He blamed Nigeria's woes on those in power, some of whom he said "lack focus, commitment, and sometimes proper knowledge about economic and development issues".
"Nigerian leaders must be tough and ready to bite the bullet, because Nigeria cannot have it easy and until we get the right leadership, the problem will continue," he said.
"Some leaders lack focus, commitment, and continuity, hence we have not been able to achieve meaningful result."
"One of the presidents that came after me, I won't mention his name, unbanned toothpick. Then, I put on my Babanriga (a native attire) and went to Abuja to express my shock about the policy, but to my greatest surprise, the president told me, he signed the document unbanning toothpick without reading it," he said.
Ekekeee findings show the president Obasanjo was referring to is Goodluck Jonathan. In September 2016, Obasanjo blamed Jonathan for Nigeria's then recession (which has yet to recede).
At the official opening of the National Council on Finance and Economic Development (NACOFED) in Abeokuta last September, Obasanjo blamed Jonathan for Nigeria's recession.
Obasanjo, who was the Father of the Day at the opening session, said he had warned the former President on the impending recession in November 26, 2014 when he joined others to celebrate the birthday of retired Justice Akanbi.
"I reminded the government that we were spending more than we were earning. that very soon, the country would not be able to fund the budget… Unfortunately, the government then refused to listen to my advice," he told the gathering.
Reporting on that event, Daily Trust stated; "Obasanjo shocked the gathering when he recalled how it was discovered that the ban on the importation of toothpick was reversed by the Jonathan administration, saying he had visited Jonathan in Abuja to ask why he lifted the ban on toothpick and Jonathan said he did not read before he approved."
The former president blamed Jonathan for lifting the ban on importation of products like toothpick, which he said could have been taken over by local industries without encumbrances.

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Kroton Educacional SA expects a key appointment at Brazil's antitrust watchdog Cade this week will help it win approval of its purchase of rival Estácio Participações SA, creating the world's No. 1 for-profit education company, a person directly involved in the transaction said on Friday.
According to the person, who asked for anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, Kroton was exploring Estacio's interest in requesting a delay to the Cade vote on the deal scheduled for June 28 because of opposition among Cade members.
But the appointment of Alexandre Barreto de Souza on Thursday as Cade president has changed the outlook, the person said. Prior skepticism among Kroton executives quickly morphed into optimism that the deal will be cleared with Barreto's arrival.
"Barreto's appointment to Cade reignited hopes that the transaction can be cleared, because of his expertise and technical qualities," said the person. Cade did not have a comment.
The situation reflects uncertainty about the deal, as Kroton rivals and consumer groups air concerns about the creation of a juggernaut with 10 times as many students as its closest rival. Investors in a Morgan Stanley & Co survey saw a 75 percent chance of the deal being rejected.
Shares of Estácio (ESTC3.SA) and Kroton led gains in Brazil's benchmark stock index on Friday, on news of a more sanguine outlook for the deal. Neither company commented on the current status of the deal.
Shares of Kroton (KROT3.SA) and Estácio (ESTC3.SA) slumped 7 percent and 14 percent, respectively, between Monday and Tuesday, after several Brazilian newspapers warned of growing opposition to the deal at the watchdog.
Reuters reported on June 5 that Cade had demanded asset sales larger than initially expected by Kroton as a condition to approve the deal. In February, a preliminary report by the watchdog's economic analysis division said the deal could hamper competition and lead to higher costs for consumers.

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — A Georgia woman driving to West Point for her husband's military burial died Tuesday in a traffic accident in South Carolina.
Retired Army Col. George John Stapleton, 78, died Nov. 8 after a long battle with cancer. His wife, Lynell Stapleton, left St. Simons Island before dawn Tuesday for the long drive to the U.S. Military Academy, where her husband was to have been buried at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday with full military honors, family friends said.
An SUV hit a guardrail and went down an embankment on Interstate 95 in Walterboro just before 6 a.m., said Trooper Jud Jones of the South Carolina Highway Patrol. The vehicle overturned, killing the driver and injuring three passengers, who were treated for minor injuries, Jones said.

Which computer should I buy?
It's a question I've been bombarded with for years.
I used to think carefully about the person asking the question and the choices available to them at the time. It used to matter.
But anymore, with Best Buy the only place in-town that stocks computers, my response matters less than it ever has.
When it comes to computers, I'll admit I'm picky. My qualifications for choosing my current laptop were so narrow, Dell only offered one model with those specs when I placed the order. It seems the only way to get an XP machine at that time with integrated Bluetooth was to get a business-oriented Latitude. Which is fine, because in looking at the contemperary Inspiron models, the Latitudes don't look nearly as disposable.
But disposable is precisely what computers have become. They're priced low, filled with cheap Chinese components and have gigs of useless software pre-loaded on them. And if you're buying it from your local big-box retailer, they're all exactly the same.
My PC has some sort of unrecoverable error. I'm buying a Mac.
Go ahead. I'm tired of cleaning up your virus-trap computer anyway. As an aside, have you ever seen a link you haven't clicked on?
Oh, but don't you hate Macs? I only said that to agitate you.
Let me clarify. Mac computers are not the problem. It's Mac users, and specifically the Mac users who define themselves as Mac users that I disdain. The people who at this very moment are lusting after a shiny new, but wholly unremarkable giant iPhone once it drops in March.
The platform itself, once it switched over to x86 architecture, doesn't give me any trouble. It's Unix underneath, and that's more useful to me than Windows.
Especially after my Mac's hard drive died and I needed to replace it (plus a badly-needed memory upgrade) myself. No Apple Store "Genius" tax? Yes, please.
Seriously, though. Which computer should I buy?
Oh, I get it. You actually want my advice.
Well here it is: You surf the internet, troll craigslist, post inappropriate content to Facebook and check your email, right?
It doesn't matter which computer you buy. They all do that. Every single one of them. If price matters to you, get the cheapest one and be prepared to replace it with another cheapest one in nine months.
If price doesn't matter to you, get the fanciest, shiniest thing on the shelf.
That's it. Very simple.
But you already knew that.

'Amazon is perfecting a different kind of business model than we've traditionally known. First, crush an industry by focusing on growth instead of profit. Then, swoop in to "fix" the industry that was destroyed. Now that the online retailer is moving into the brick and mortar world, it's trying to prevent the in-store price comparisons that have served it so well against competitors.
Following the announcement of Amazon's massive bid to buy the Whole Foods grocery chain, the Washington Post reports that the company has patented an algorithm that's designed to discourage "mobile window shopping." Customers' habit of visiting stores like Borders and checking the Amazon prices while they browse is understood to have played a major factor in Amazon's competitive victories over the last decade, so it's beginning to take measures to ensure that it doesn't suffer the same fate.'

Abstract : The cross sections for quasi-elastic electron scattering from nine target nuclei from lithium to lead have been measured for electron incident energy of 500 MeV and scattering angle of 60 degrees. The data are interpreted in terms of a Fermi gas model, yielding the nuclear Fermi momentum as a function of atomic number. The Fermi momentum increases from lithium to calcium and remains roughly constant at about 260 MeV/c from nickel to lead. (Author)

By Vivian L. Holley, JD, MA, CFLS, MFT
With the recent decision on Proposition 8 by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, upholding the 2010 decision by Judge Vaughn Walker, I have decided again to revisit the articles I previously wrote about Proposition 8 and its effect on the children of same-sex couples. The Ninth Circuit held Proposition 8, (which overturned the right of gays and lesbians to marry in California) unconstitutional because it withdrew marital rights from gays and lesbians for no reason other than moral disapproval of homosexuality. Because this is being appealed, we should look further into the psychological impact denying marriage rights to same-sex couples has on their children.
One of the biggest arguments against allowing same-sex couples marriage rights is that it could harm children raised in the context of these relationships. ProtectMarriage.com, an official proponent of Proposition 8 and an appellant in the case, believes that gay marriage will lead to more children being raised in same-sex households, which they claim is not an "optimum" environment for raising children.
Proposition 8 did not change the state's laws governing parentage, (as opposed to its laws governing marriage); it had no effect on family structure and thus the argument fails for that reason. California statutes permit same-sex couples to adopt and raise children and "draw[s] no distinction between married couples and domestic partners with regard to the legal rights and responsibilities relating to children raised within each of these family relationships," stated Judge Stephen Reinhardt for the Ninth Circuit. Therefore, "the distinction in nomenclature between marriage and domestic partnership cannot be defended on the basis of an asserted difference in the effect on children of being raised by an opposite-sex couple instead of by a same-sex couple."
The social science research and evidence conducted in this area does not support this concern. In a 2002 report by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which was reaffirmed in 2010, children who grow up with one or two homosexual parents fared just as well in emotional, cognitive, social, and sexual functioning as children whose parents were heterosexual. Children's optimal development seems to be influenced more by the nature of the relationships and interactions within the family unit than by the particular structural form it takes. We think it makes sense then to provide a solid legal structure for the family unit to be stable and continue, which is what marriage provides.
Denying same-sex couples the right to marry stigmatizes gay and lesbian families as inferior and sends the message that it is acceptable to discriminate against them. "Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples," said Judge Reinhardt. We need to ask: how is it better to raise children in an "inferior" family?
Even though California grants an alternative to marriage – the Registered Domestic Partnership – there is still a cultural bias that does not fully legitimize those relationships. "Had Marilyn Monroe's Film been called How to Register a Domestic Partnership with a Millionaire, it would not have conveyed the same meaning as did her famous movie, even though the underlying drama for same-sex couples is no different," said Judge Reinhardt. "Marriage is considered a more substantial relationship and is accorded a greater stature than a domestic partnership."
An estimated one-quarter of all same-sex households (estimated close to 647,000) in the United States are raising children. According to data compiled from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau, there are 125,516 reported same-sex couples living in California. Gary J. Gates, a Williams Institute UCLA School of Law demographer, analyzed the 2010 U.S. Bureau data and concluded 21% of those households in California had children, and the number of kids raised in these families would be double that percentage. Thus, there are an estimated 52,000 children in California being raised in same-sex households.
Since same-sex parents cannot marry, these children feel like they do not belong to a real family, and they suffer from feelings of inadequacy perpetuated by social attitudes. The issue of same-sex marriage is not going away, and as more same-sex couples decide to have children, this is an issue that will need to be addressed by our legal system. It is the children who come out ahead with same-sex marriage, and for that reason every person who purports to believe in strong families where children can be loved by both parents should support the rights of same-sex marriage.

The 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 188 horsepower. The price is the same whether buyers choose a six-speed manual or CVT.
Nissan is outlining pricing for the 2017 Sentra lineup, including the recently announced SR Turbo. The new range-topping model goes on sale in October and costs $22,825 for both the six-speed manual and CVT.
The SR Turbo gets a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 188 horsepower (140 kilowatts) and 177 pound-feet (240 newton-meter) of torque. The engine is 50-percent more powerful than the Sentra's naturally aspirated option. The new model should handle better too thanks to stiffer front springs and an Active Understeer Control system. Larger front brake discs can handle slowing the more potent sedan, too.
The Sentra doesn't have the bold styling of competitors like the latest Honda Civic, and Nissan's designers don't give the SR Turbo much to close the gap. The model has the same sporty look as the naturally aspirated SR trim, including larger side sills and a trunk lip spoiler. The turbocharged Sentra gets a different design for the 17-inch wheels, though.
For $2,590, customers can add the SR Turbo Premium Package. Checking this option box gets buyers safety tech, like rear cross traffic alert and blind sport warning. There's also a much nicer interior thanks to the addition of leather seats, an eight-speaker stereo, and an auto-dimming mirror. A 5.8-inch infotainment system with navigation is among the package's helpful improvements, too.
The rest of the models in the Sentra range are available at dealers now. They still use a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 124 hp (92.47 kW). Changes are light for the new model year. For example there's less cabin noise thanks to thicker glass and more storage in the center console.
Prices start at $17,825 for the base S trim with a six-speed manual, which is $210 more than last year. The same version with the CVT costs buyers $18,825 – $230 more than the 2016 model. The SV model costs $19,625; the naturally aspirated SR goes for $20,825, and the SL is $22,335.

Everything seemed to finally be clicking with the offensive line heading into opening game on Sunday. That was true until offensive tackle Shawn Andrews reinjured his back in practice yesterday.
Andrews sat out of practice today and half of yesterday because of a sore lower back. The injury kept him out of playing the entire training camp and preseason. It was reported on ESPN.com that Andrews will not play against Carolina on Sunday. Winston Justice will start in his place.
On the same day that the injury occured, the Eagles worked out veteran offensive tackle Jon Runyan. The former Eagle is attempting to make a comeback after offseason knee surgery. It is evident that the Eagles front offense is getting a little antsy about Andrews' health and are desperate to make moves to secure depth at the offensive line.
Runyan knows the offense and has been a leader on the line for nine seasons. However, the signing of Runyan would come with a lot of baggage. If the 'Birds sign him before Sunday, which is highly unlikely, then they would have to pay his full base salary. But what other options do the Eagles have?
My main concern is the health of Andrews. I criticized him time and again about his injuries and then he answered by making a comeback. However, he is not doing a good job convincing people that he is ready for an NFL game. He has not played in a full game since the teams second game last season. That's 14 regular season games, an entire postseason and this year's preseason. Back injuries are one of the worst injuries for an offensive lineman, considering how much pushing and quick movement is involved using the lower back.
Now the Eagles are left in a very tough spot. With Todd Herremans out for the first few weeks of the season, Philadelphia is now missing two starters on the offensive line. Not to mention Jason Peters and Stacy Andrews have not practiced much because they both rehabbed injuries for most of training camp. Even though Winston Justice has looked a lot better in preseason, there is always the fear of him collapsing again. I don't think I need to remind any Eagles fans of the Giants game last season.
Sunday will be a big test for the offensive line. Questions of health and depth will truly be answered against the Panthers.

Today, things are much different than when I started in the business.
My first time out, in the late 80s, I landed a New York agent on my first try. It took me 16 months to write my first novel because I was writing magazine articles eight hours a day to make a living. It took my agent only 7 months to sell my first book (and five more novels I had not written yet.) However, after I signed the contract, it took another 17 months until the first book was published.
So, from the first page to the publication of my first novel took 3 years and 4 months. Not only that but my first publisher signed me to a six-book contract and then went bankrupt after publishing my first three.
Today, publishing companies are operated by corporations. Most agents only take on new clients who are already established. Even new agents only take on a small percentage of what they are pitched.
So that old fashioned form of publishing is out of the question for most of us.
Desktop publishing, Print On Demand and Internet bookstores. It was the convergence of these three technologies that spawned a whole new industry — self-publishing. Most importantly, this created a new world of opportunity for authors.
Nowadays, because there is no barrier to publishing on your own, more writers are self-publishing and the quality of self-published books has gone up. More writers are self-publishing, using the new technologies and low costs of publishing on their own because, they cannot break through the old-fashioned publishing world. Today, writers are not going after agents or publishers because they don't want to spend years being rejected. Writers are publishing books on their own because they see opportunities in the market and want a bigger share of the pie than publishers offer and because they want full control of their own books.
Here are a few good reasons to self-publish:
- You have direct access to your audience
- You get a bigger chunk of the retail dollar of your book
- You have a time-sensitive book and want to publish quickly
- You want full control of your book inside and out
The bad news is that you have to do everything.
Which means that unless you are a professional proofreader, graphic designer, and layout expert for printed books and ebooks, you may have to get someone else to help you.

How To Fix A Hole In Your Drum
Need to know how to fix a hole in your drum? This article will guide you through the process to fix the hole in your drum. There are different ways you can fix the drum hole, so lets look at a few of the options.
- Use foam. There are foams that come in different consistencies that you could get to put in the hole of the drum. It is possible to choose the color of the foam or you could color it yourself. Then just cut it into a good size and plug it into the hole of the drum. The foam should add to the sound of the drum, not take away from it.
- Use cork. Depending on the size of the hole, you can use a wine cork to plug the hole. A cork is dense enough to add to the sound of the drum, instead of taking away from the sound. A cork may be the first option to use instead of foam, depending on the size of the hole. If you have some special cutting devices you could possibly cut the cork to fit the size of the hole in the drum.
- Use cardboard and glue. The last alternative would be to use cardboard and glue. This won't be the best sounding but it will do the trick temporarily. If possible, you will want to get foam or a cork to fix the problem. But as long as you have the hole sealed properly it may not affect the sound of the drum.
- Go to the shop. If none of these previous options work for you, you can take the drum to a music shop, where they have professional ways of fixing the drum. It is possible the cost could be high, but well worth it if this is what you'd rather do.

Megan is awesome!
Anya A - Aug 18, 2017
Holy moly one of the best massages of my life. The type of massage that felt as if you have been on the table for two hours but it had only been one. She was so specific and deep. At the same time somehow extremely relaxing. Just amazing!
Chrissy's Skill
L.S. - Jul 28, 2017
As a long-term client, I value the variety of techniques that Chrissy utilizes in her massages. Whether you describe a trigger point problem or tight back muscles, she applies just the right pressure and method to leave you on the path to full recovery. I have used other therapists and highly recommend The Art of Health.
Great, relaxing deep tissue massage
Becki C - Jun 14, 2017
This was my second time at Art of Health and I again received great service! I went in for a minor "tune up" as I carry stress in my upper back. Just like the first time, I received great, friendly service. I would highly recommend Art of Health!
Deep Tissue Massage for required therapy
R.H. - Jun 7, 2017
Pleasant, clean, relaxing, just the right amount of pressure for focus areas (back, esp.) I was referred by my chiropractor, Dr. Matt Kelly! I truly appreciated the service and how I felt much better afterward!
Sports Massage
Jessica Hoefer - Apr 20, 2017
I have been to Megan twice for a sports massage. Both times she asked for specific areas to focus on and quickly devised a plan of attack. She not only worked the pressure points and deep tissue for the trouble areas but also gave be stretches to help in the future. After my first visit and the stretches I no longer had trouble with my shoulder and arm. This time we focused on my back and leg and I fully anticipate a quick recovery. Not to mention it is oh so relaxing.

Is it worth it to add SEO descriptions, etc. to old blog posts
Hi everyone,
I just recently downloaded the all in one seo pack for my blog that has about 800 posts. I am wondering if it will help my search results if I go back through all of my old posts and fill in the SEO sections? Or should I just do this just going forward.
Thanks for the help!
(note: even with all of those posts and constant fresh content, my google pagerank is still zero, so I am trying to do everything to improve this)

I remember that she formed her letters backwards with her right hand. I remember how she used to only brush her teeth with one foreign brand of toothpaste because she was convinced that all the other brands were laced with something. I remember the way she smelled of warm cinnamon with a hint of baby powder smelling deodorant. I remember how she used to carry around a pocket dictionary because she thought that using short words was boring and unoriginal. I remember her frantic speech and stuttering voice. I remember how excited she'd get whenever a new installation of her favorite book series came out. I remember her dark eyes. I remember her pale skin. I remember walking in and seeing the gun in her hand before the bullet popped.
Every therapist in Denver has checked me out. Every psychiatrist has gazed at me from across an island of a wide desk with confused eyes. Still, no formal diagnosis has been given to me. My best friend shot herself in the head during our freshman year and after a proper time of mourning, I recovered. That's something you rarely see these days, a kid recovering from a traumatic event. No one ever does. The majority of teenagers these days have some twisted mental issue, or a ton of skeletons spilling out of their closets. I am okay. That's what people just don't believe.
The party at Noah's house starts in fifteen minutes, so I pull myself out of bed and groggily walk over to my connected bathroom. Its once clear countertops are now cluttered with open makeup palette and clumps of hair. That's disgusting, but shedding is something girls do more often than people realize. I pick up my toothbrush, but decide I'd rather have two minutes to apply eyeliner than cater to basic hygiene. After expertly smearing two soft streaks of black around my eyes to give me the angsty look I so desire, I grab my coat and walk downstairs.
My parents still don't think I'm mentally stable. They're the mushy-gushy, over protective parents who wear matching sweaters and listen to Christmas carols in August. I love my parents, don't get me wrong, but they need an upgrade in wardrobe and personality. Without even bothering to tell them where I'm going, I wave into the living room and waltz out the front door. I'll text them later… probably.
Noah Armstrong has held a part of my heart (I refuse to give him it all) for about a year now. I wish I could tell you he's super cool and is the star quarterback and has girls drooling over him left and right, but it's quite the opposite. He's the head of the rocketry club and still has a bottom sheathe of braces. Despite the fact that his voice is slurred with a soft lisp, it is strong and well informed. Enough about him, he's not that special.
I go to the "smart kid" school. You know the type. The school kids joke about where only the most stuck up kids go and consume ADHD pills like candy to study and pass tests. It's quite untrue, actually. We're all a bunch of kids doing stupid things and being teenagers. There's nothing grand about us besides our test scores.
His house is quaint and small for this our nice section of Denver. When I walk through the doors, I'm greeted with the warm smells of living. The smells of soda coated breath, deodorant smothered sweat, and the machine oil of hormones dripping in the minds of thirty or so teenagers. It's a typical high school party, like the ones in the movies. Except we don't have cheap, smuggled alcohol or people banging in every spare bedroom. We drink cola. We talk to each other. We play games. We occasionally make out. We leave before midnight.
How tame and boring my life may sound. Sure, I'll grant you that, but does it seem that bad of a world that some kid would knowingly wedge a bullet into her brain? I don't know. Everyone sees the world differently, maybe she just looked at it from behind a set of darker glasses than the rest of us.
Noah comes jogging around the corner and pulls me in for a hug. I blush and soak in the feeling of his body against mine. I want to absorb him into me and keep the c***tail of warmth and electricity we are sharing now.
"How's it going, Sophie?" He asks sincerely with a furrowed brow as if he is genuinely asking. I don't question the fact that someone could care about me. I accept it.
I sigh and look around for the table set up with a computer and some lousy speakers, landmarking my next destination. "It's going Noah. It's going."
Noah follows me over and logs me into the shared family laptop, guiding my hardrive into its designated slot and watches as I carefully sort through digital album covers. I select an old Tupac album and watch as some kids turn and nod their head in approval. They're lined on the edges of the room and are slouched over the couch in the center of the room. Smiles hint at the lined lips of them all. It's the start of a new year. August brings new opportunities and allows the mistakes of last year melt away into repressible memories. It is the beginning of our sophomore year for the majority of people here, leaving out a few freshman and juniors.
I walk into the kitchen and stare at the covered countertops, searching for something to drink. Skimming through the ingredients of some soda bottles, I sneer at the unpronounceable chemicals and settle with tap water. The first drop from the faucet hits the bottom of the cup and I imagine what she would've said. She would've been leaning against the granite countertop next to me, whipped out her dictionary and searched for the right word to use.
The lonely drop falls quickly to be the first of his kind as he explodes when he hits the plastic surface at the bottom of the cup.
She would've laughed.
"Sophie, you okay?" Noah comes up from behind me, staring at the stream of water and the overflowing cup in my now wet hand. I shake my head, pulling myself out of the trance and turning around. I like the way he addresses me with my name at the start of every conversation. I'd pay him to say my name over and over again.
"Yeah, yeah. Just zoned out," I laugh it off, but he still doesn't seem to entirely believe me. He brushes against my arm slightly as we walk back into the living room and goosebumps erupt along my spine. Only about an inch or so taller than me, I gaze up slightly at the shadow of his collarbone peaking out of the royal blue shirt he wears. I notice the deep bags underneath his eyes for the first time. The lines drag from the inner corners of his coffee eyes and stop just shy of his cheekbones. It looks like he and I must share a heavy case of insomnia.
We sit behind the table and control the music for a night, conversations blossoming and wilting as the hours went on. The kids in the house cling to red solo cups and cell phones, desperately trying to fit in and feel comfortable. It's odd to watch, really. We turn into our primal forms and become hyper-aware of our surroundings. After a while, people start to warm up to each other, sometimes too warm, and the spirit of the party lifts. What's even weirder is how tonight, people will act like best friends and life partners, but on Monday, no one will know each other. It always seems to be like that.
Most people are gathered in the living room, draped over couches and each others' laps. Music floats between bobbing heads and moving lips. Noah takes this opportunity to do what he does best, entertain. He stands up on the small table in the center of the room and it wobbles uncertainly under his tennis shoes.
"Everyone, everyone," he calls as he taps his plastic cup with his pointer finger, trying to mimic a utensil on glass. The noise is pitifully quiet, yet all the heads turn and the room falls quiet. "I'd like to raise a toast to the best behaved kids in Colorado! We are high on life and the crazy high altitude, am I right Josh?"
Josh, another member of the rocketry club, stands up and whips out his inhaler from his back pocket. Raising it to his mouth, he takes a puff and pretends to blow smoke. He pulls his eyelids back and begins to speak.
"So like listen, there is hair in my spaghetti and I really need to know RIGHT NOW which one of you girls shagged your greasy hair over my dinner," the room erupts in laughter and we all glance over at his microwavable meal. Our attention is drawn back to Noah.
"It's storytime," Noah says and grins as everyone cheers him on. He makes eye contact with me from across the room and holds it for a while. I blush and turn away.
"Let's set the scene. I think I was about eight years old and was playing in my aunt's backyard. Chicago in the middle of July, ugh. It was gross and humid, I remember my Spiderman shirt was sticking to every part of my body it came in contact with. My cousin, a few years older than I sat in the backyard mud with me. We fished through it and found so much amusement in watching the liquid dirt drip though our fingertips…"
Last summer, she walked around outside with me barefoot for hours. We'd wince at the burning cement as it send wild sensations though our bodies. Once in awhile, competitions would be held to see who could stand on the sidewalk the longest. She always won. While she was suffering and about to give up, she'd start reciting something. This one time, she recited the whole Gettysburg Address in a minute, racing though the words as though they were etched into her eyes. I always loved how she obsessively memorized things, swearing they'd come in handy one day.
"Then… worms. I loved worms as a kid and I guess you could say my parents opened a can of worms when I was born!" He says with finger guns and a hearty smile.
Everyone groans at the poorly constructed pun.
"Anywho, my cousin told me that if I ate a worm, I would be immortal. And to any eight year old obsessed with Percy Jackson, this seemed insanely appealing. All I had to do was eat a worm. Psh, that's nothing. I would be a GOD. So, I grabbed the biggest worm I could find in that patch of dirt. And I mean biggest. I am not a quitter, my friends. I used garden clippers to chop him up into three pieces soon to be devoured by my tiny, child teeth."
Noah laughs gently and begins to melt his voice down to a consistency of softness and suspense as he finished his story.
"If you know anything about worms, you know that they have multiple hearts. This tri-segmented worm was still moving in three separate parts. I tried to chew the first lesson and when my mouth filled with weird, worm fluids, I just tried to swallow the other two pieces whole. My task was successfully completed. It is said to this day that that same worm lurks in my stomach, waiting for an opportunity to strike. That worm, I named him Charles, will be the only thing that can end my streak of immortality. The end."
Noah tells stories the way she used to, full of exaggerated details and aggressively grotesque factors. Even the voice changes and word choices are similar. He has the same dark hair and eyes. He is kind to me like she was.
I say I am okay, yet I cannot utter her name.
I say I am okay, because I'm in love with the idea of her living in Noah's body like Charles the worm.

THE MEDIA BUSINESS: Advertising; The Internet is being used because, as an executive says, everyone wants a connection to what's new.
By Stuart Elliott
Published: April 24, 1995
WHEN G. M. O'Connell, a partner in Modem Media in Westport, Conn., a leading agency in interactive advertising, was asked recently about the appropriateness of marketing in cyberspace, he responded frankly.
While Modem has shepherded advertisers like the AT& T Corporation, the Adolph Coors Company and the J. C. Penney Company onto the worldwide computer network known as the Internet, he told New York Newsday, it probably wouldn't make sense for a company selling a product like toothpaste.
So guess who's on line promoting a toll-free telephone number to call for free samples? An offer that drew so many calls that initial volume exceeded capacity? Why, SmithKline Beecham Consumer Healthcare, introducing a toothpaste called Aquafresh Whitening.
Mr. O'Connell, in an interview Friday, laughed ruefully.
"I plan on being right about 5 percent of the time," he said.
"This is pretty indicative of the fact everybody wants to try this," he continued. "Companies want to be associated with change, with what's new. There's an aspirational image to technology right now."
Indeed, marketers developing interactive initiatives are generating the cyberspace equivalents of many traditional advertising methods and tools, in much the same way that the infant medium of television mirrored such features found in radio as national networks and sponsored programs. There are Internet infomercials, for instance, being introduced by Williams Television Time in Santa Monica, Calif. And the Advertising Council, the agency industry's public service organization, and Zing Systems L.P. in Englewood, Colo., are expected to announce, perhaps as soon as this week, plans for public service announcements on the Internet.
There are also ambitious efforts to develop measurements for interactive media that advertisers and agencies would use in the same manner as television and radio ratings. One research service, the Interactive Information Index, a venture of companies including ASI Market Research in New York, has already signed a contract with General Motors. A second service, seeking to offer a ratings system for the World Wide Web, the multimedia portion of the Internet, was announced last week.
For now, SmithKline Beecham is using a low-tech method to track its foray into cyberspace with Aquafresh Whitening, a higher-priced variety of its Aquafresh line of toothpastes that contains a special whitening ingredient. As callers to the toll-free number give their names and addresses to receive free 4.3-ounce tubes of the brand, they can identify how they learned of the offer.
Through last Monday, 1,338 of 1,772 callers identified how they had seen the number; of them, 59.1 percent indicated they had seen the number on the Internet on a Usenet newsgroup, or bulletin board, that offers consumers "free stuff."
The Internet marketing of Aquafresh Whitening is meant to supplement a large conventional broadcast and print ad campaign by Grey Advertising in New York, the Aquafresh agency, said Gillian Hamburger, an account executive at the Ketchum Public Relations unit of Ketchum Communications in Pittsburgh. The Internet idea was Ketchum's, which posted the one-paragraph sample offer on the Usenet newsgroup late last month.
Scott Martin, associate brand manager for Aquafresh at SmithKline Beecham in Pittsburgh, said he was skeptical of Ketchum's proposal at first.
He recalled: "I thought, 'You want to do what? Well, this is kind of strange. What would we be getting out of it?' But it's turned out to make sense and be a good fit for us." The primary reason, he added, was that Aquafresh Whitening is new and "people on the Internet are probably more likely to try new products because people who use computers may be more willing to look at new things."
Mr. O'Connell of Modem agreed.
"It's a great case of electronic grass-roots marketing," he said. "I tip my hat to them."
As for the World Wide Web ratings service, called the Digital Planet Netcount, it was introduced Thursday by the Digital Planet Corporation in Culver City, Calif. The goal is to provide advertisers on the Web with verified, quantitative data on Internet usage by consumers on computers.
Two agencies -- the J. Walter Thompson Company, a unit of the WPP Group, and Young & Rubicam Inc. -- are participating in a test of the Netcount system. Advertiser participants include AT& T; the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists film studios, owned by Credit Lyonnais; MCA Inc., a unit of the Matsushita Electric Industrial Company, and the Nutrasweet Company, part of the Monsanto Company.
Now that toothpaste marketing has entered cyberspace, what's next? Perhaps Bucky Beaver, the Ipana toothpaste pitchbeast of the 1950's, will come back on a screen saver.

Wheat genotypes differing in aluminum tolerance differ in their growth response to CO2 enrichment in acid soils
Wen-Hao Zhang, State Key Laboratory of Vegetation and Environmental Change, Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100093. Tel: +86 10 62836697; Fax: +86 10 62592430;
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major factor limiting plant growth in acid soils. Elevated atmospheric CO2 [CO2] enhances plant growth. However, there is no report on the effect of elevated [CO2] on growth of plant genotypes differing in Al tolerance grown in acid soils. We investigated the effect of short-term elevated [CO2] on growth of Al-tolerant (ET8) and Al-sensitive (ES8) wheat plants and malate exudation from root apices by growing them in acid soils under ambient [CO2] and elevated [CO2] using open-top chambers. Exposure of ET8 plants to elevated [CO2] enhanced root biomass only. In contrast, shoot biomass of ES8 was enhanced by elevated [CO2]. Given that exudation of malate to detoxify apoplastic Al is a mechanism for Al tolerance in wheat plants, ET8 plants exuded greater amounts of malate from root apices than ES8 plants under both ambient and elevated [CO2]. These results indicate that elevated [CO2] has no effect on malate exudation in both ET8 and ES8 plants. These novel findings have important implications for our understanding how plants respond to elevated [CO2] grown in unfavorable edaphic conditions in general and in acid soils in particular.

Oregon (and some Washington) sports fans are being forced to endure their forth season of Comcast's stranglehold over Portland Trail Blazers games. Fans are being forced to subscribe to Comcast in order to watch the games and folks who live in areas that don't get Comcast can't even see the games because Comcast is trying to force its competitors out. It's a cautionary tale that anyone concerned about the Comcast-NBCU merger should be following.
On Thursday, Blazers fans will be rallying outside the Rose Garden before the game to hold up their remote controls in symbolic protest of the control Comcast has over their games.
On Friday, Sports Fans Coalition and frustrated Blazers fans will present all the signatures from its "Where Are My Blazers Games" petition on the steps of the Oregon State Capitol in Salem at noon.
The Blazers situation is indicative of Comcast's treatment of sports fans. And it's also going on in Philadelphia, as well. If Comcast purchases NBCU, they may force fans of NBC Sunday Night Football or the Olympics to subscribe to Comcast to see the games.
But don't take it from me. Here are the words of Joel Barker, a lifelong Oregonian:
I am one of the many rabid fans that populate this city. We have only one major league team and only one national championship in the entire state. We put everything we have into the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers are a link between Portlanders, between Oregonians. When we come in to work in the morning, in the midst of our days, we talk about the Blazers. Chit chat about the Blazers is what brings us together.
We are famous for our fandom, and for our sellout crowds. A year ago, ESPN columnist Bill Simmons said in an interview with Ian Ruder published in the Oregonian:
The Blazer fans are crazy. They're like the crazy dude at the bar who's just so irrational you don't want to get into a full argument with them because you might get a beer bottle smashed into your head. It's because they're on the team, so it's like they're arguing about their kids almost.
If you have ever been in the Rose Garden when the Lakers come to town, you know what he's talking about. When we walk through the Rose Garden doors, we go from friendly latte-sipping hipsters to blood thirsty Cro-Magnons defending our turf.
We are blessed with an organization that is committed to our community and many of our team alumni choose to make a home in Portland after they retire. Watching the games is a communion for us fans. We do it as families, with friends. A win means a lot, but so does Coach Mo Cheeks saving the young national anthem singer.
Comcast has put a ransom on our extended family. They promised to negotiate with other providers, to compete in a fair marketplace. Instead they are making every effort to function as a monopoly. In addition, how does the NBA feel about Comcast's anti-competitive activities? The league is trying to build a fan base while Comcast is limiting their potential audience.
I am certainly appreciative of the effort that Comcast goes to in providing the games and I believe that they should be fairly compensated. They have an opportunity to be a part of our family and benefit from that goodwill. It surprises me that they should choose to instead inspire their customers - and potential customers to begrudge their very services. Is that they way that they want to do business?
This weekend, frustrated Trail Blazer fans like Joel intend to put the ball back in Comcast's court.
Brian Frederick is the Executive Director of Sports Fans Coalition. He holds a Ph.D. in Communication and lives in Washington, D.C. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
