Please confirm that you want to add Your Top Chess Questions, Answered to your Wishlist.
The course 'Your top chess questions, Answered' contains detailed answers to the questions posed by RCA students after reading the book A promoted pawn: my chess journey. The course is designed in such a way that even those who have not read the book can easily understand it.
Apart from answering questions, GM Igor Smirnov explains how you can implement key ideas in your games, with hand-picked examples from top games. He also explains how he faced certain situations when he was at the beginner stage.
Some of the key points you will learn in this course:
1. How to get maximum benefit when training with a computer?
2. What is the universal approach and how to utilize it in your game?
3. Opening skill development process
4. The very powerful technique to train your attacking and anti-blunder skills
5. How to progress in chess when you are an adult?
6. How to open the opponent's position?
7. Psychological barriers in chess; how to overcome them?
The course contains eight video lessons and three text lessons. In each lesson, GM Igor Smirnov answers one question from an RCA student. The course also contains interesting examples, tips, and recommendations on various topics, which you can implement in your own games right after completing it.
Learn more about this topic with my free course "Chess Training Plan for Rapid Improvement" (http://chess-teacher.com/chess-training-mini-course/)
Igor I think the book you have written is excellent. Particularly for younger players I think.
The interesting point you make about becoming an attacking player by playing openings which are aggressive and attacking is a fair one. However, you make the point that you should open the game with 1,e4 as you need to obtain open and aggressive positions from the get go. I however, tend to agree with IM Shereshevsky who thinks that in general the only way is forward with 1,e4 and as a matter of principle you have to play aggressively such as playing the Open Sicilian etc the only problem with such an approach is you leave yourself open to pre-game preperation and you have to have quite detailed opening knowledge.
Korchnoy considers both 1,d4 and 1,e4 are of equal merit but prefers the closed position because they offer more scope for the strategic player. In addition Shereshevsky thinks 1,d4 is the better opening, as white has multiple choice of opening strategies suitable to the style and temper of the chess-player. By playing 1,d4 he feels that playing the Closed set-up's the development of positional/strategical play more so than 1,e4.
Now I am not trying to compare both of you as trainers because I have no doubt you are both excellent. But I would like to get your own opinion on why you did not follow the path of Shereshevsky?
In this lesson, we discuss very powerful techniques to train your attacking and anti-blunder skills.

Students Question:
If you are to train a group of aspiring chess players (ages 8-12 from your country), can you enumerate the most important skills you'll guide them to master to become very strong players?
I have provided my personal top list below and feel free to ass/modify as you would recommend.
5.Positional sacrifice
7.Transformation of positional factors
8.Transition from the middlegame into the endgame
10.Realizing an Advantage
In this lesson, we discuss the following topics:
- How to gain new chess skills?
- Active learning (practicing chess often)
- Training games (playing lots of training games on computer)
- Imitation (learning techniques/strategy from your favorite player)
- System of thinking (whenever you learn new information, you have to incorporate it into your system of thinking) (Learn more about the system of thinking in my course "The Grandmaster's Secrets" (http://chess-teacher.com/shop/comprehensive/the-grandmasters-secrets-2/))
- Anti-blunder technique
Students Question:
1.It sometimes seems to take longer than expected to gain a skill. Do you have any other tips about how we can speed up the process of implementing a skill?
2.In every game I try the Anti blunder technique, but I always fail to do so (sometimes on move 40, but mos of the time after a few moves)
Can you somehow train this skills?
In this lecture, I answer an interesting question from one of my students.
"I have a child that is three years old and I want to teach him chess when he becomes four.
How did your father explain to you about the movement of the knight, which is difficult to explain to a young child?"
In this text lesson, I explain how to progress in chess when you are an adult.
"If someone starts seriously studying chess at age 25, using a chess coach, studying all courses, playing tournaments, and in general spending many hours each day studying and working in chess consistently, do you think, in your honest opinion, that it is possible or probable that someone like that could reach master level in 10 or 20 years? It appears that history basically shows that this seems to be an impossible situation, as it looks like every present Grandmaster started while young.
Maybe master is attainable, since Grandmaster seems to be impossible . Do you know of any reasons why this is the case? Or do you know any examples of real people who have become Grandmasters or even masters but didn't start until they were adults?"
In chess, men are usually stronger than women ; but it's also no surprise that the number of professional women chess players is growing constantly.
This lecture answers one of our student 's questions: " Along GM Smirnov's journey, either as a young player or a coach, has he seen any particular challenges for girls who wish to play chess? If so, does he have any illustrative stories or advice for young girls?"
We analyze one of our student's questions. "To open the opponent's position, there are only three ways:
1. Forced moves
2. Pawn moves
3. Sacrifice
Is this true?"
Also you will learn:
1. Why do we need to open the position?
2. How to open the opponent's position?
It is very difficult t o combat your existing habits, for psychology plays a vital role here. This lesson explains about the psychological problems every student faces in their chess journey.
Question: "In the new book, you make frequent reference to the role psychology can play in the development of chess players.
What are the most common psycholo gical problems or barriers your students face and how do they overcome them?"
Learn more about Chess Psychlogy in my book 'CHAMPION PSYCHOLOGY – A BOOK FOR FUTURE CHESS CHAMPIONS'
In this lecture , we discuss:
1. What is the difference between a chess player and a chess coach?
2. How can Carlsen play so well, consistently?
3. What has made him a world champion?
And more…
Question: "Could you describe, to the best of your ability, what you think forms the gap between yours and Magnus' chess skills?
What would it take for you to get into the top ten?
Have you ever thought about becoming world champion?"

He's the founder of the "Remote Chess Academy" company that has helped thousands of students worldwide to improve their chess results.
GM Smirnov has developed lots of chess video lessons, articles, webinars and training courses, including the famous courses "The Grandmaster's Secrets", "The Grandmaster's Positional Understanding", and "Calculate Till Mate".

Hello Freubde the Osttechnik.
Have again a little rum tinkered and that's the result.
A niegelnagelneuer ZT 403 from the house Schönebeck in cooperation with the GTSchmiede.
What has that others do not have.
So 180 PS / HP under the hood
Rear tire from K 700
New Vorderadfelge
New 6-cylinder diesel engine
Auxiliary tank on the left side
extended frame
This variant was constructed by order of the LPG Zingst in 80 ziger years in the ZT forging Schönebeck.
Other workshops followed and called their types 313
There are very few copies were built, with the one wanted to bypass the PS dictates of Russians.
So now I'll leave you with the thing alone and hope that you have so much fun.
Eigendlich Ludmilla Power should here make the sound, but he is not ready and before the box anrostet me here, I'll kill you with my own sound on the market.

Cinnamon Hot Shot Candle Melt | Fragrant Wax Melt
Wax melts with a pure ground cinnamon stick fragrance. If you love cinnamon this is your go to tart. Strong cinnamon scent that isn't too sweet. Want to sweeten it up? Create your own custom blend by adding a cube of cinnamon and a cube of Warm Vanilla Sugar or any other tart fragrance you can think of to compliment the red hot cinnamon scent.
Wax melts for home or office with pure soy and beeswax.
The good thing about wax melts is you get the benefit of a fragrant candle filling the room with a warm scent and you don't need a flame. Turn on your electric warmer and let the fragrance fill the air. Your house or office will smell enjoyable for hours.
Our Hot Shots are conveniently packaged in a 2 ounce souffle cup. You can cut the tart in half or use the whole thing. How much you use is determined by the size of your candle warmer. The fragrance will last for hours.
We use a pure soy, beeswax blend for our candle melts and add phthalate- free fragrance oils. We make an effort to produce a clean burning wax melt for your home and office. The reason we use two different waxes to make our candle tarts is simple. We start with 100% soy wax. Soy alone can tend to be too soft, making it hard to pop out of the package. You can always put your tarts in the freezer to make it easier to get out. We add beeswax to create a firmer candle melt so it's easier to pop out of the packaging. The biggest benefit to using beeswax is when heated it produces negative ions that are natural air cleansers.
Intense Fragrance | Pure Soy Beeswax Blend | Phthalate Free
We hand pour our own candle melt in small batches right here on our farm in Williamsport, Ohio.
Here's a helpful hint for removing candle melts from your tart warmer when you're done with a fragrance. Place the cup that holds your wax melts in the freezer for a little bit. The wax will pop right out. You can also try placing a piece of ribbon in the melted wax after you turn the burner off and when it hardens lift the ribbon out of the tart cup.
Wax melts for home and office in fragrances you'll love.

The Nobel Prize Winners 2016: Complete List – GK Updates:
Dear Readers, Once again intelligence, perspiration and hard work have met the best of minds globally with the announcement of Nobel Prizes for the year 2016. The winners are shining and the perfect embodiment of perseverance in their respective field; silently working towards their end goals and for humanity on the whole, either it be Juan Manuel Santos, the Prime Minister of Colombia or Japanese physiologist Yoshinori Ohsumi. However, Americans continuing their dominance in Nobel Prize have once again ruled the roost.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2016:
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 was divided, one half awarded to David J. Thouless, and the other half jointly to F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz "for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter". The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has selected them for their individual researches.
The discoveries have paved the way for designing new materials with all sorts of novel properties that have significant potential to revolutionize advances in electronics and future quantum computers.
Research work centers on Topology, a branch of mathematics involving step-wise changes like making a series of holes in an object.
For example when matter goes from solid to liquid to gas different phases are obvious, but materials can also undergo topological step changes which affect their electrical properties. Such changes can be seen in a superconductor, which at low temperatures conducts electricity without resistance.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016:
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 was awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines". Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has chosen them for this award for their individual efforts in developing molecular machines. These three laureates will share the 8 million Swedish kronor (around $933,000) prize equally.
Molecular machines or nanomachines are the world's smallest machines. Their working is inspired by proteins that naturally act as biological machines within cells. Molecular machines are discrete number of synthetic molecular components fused together. They produce quasi-mechanical movements in response to specific external stimuli such as light or temperature change.
Molecular machines can be developed to function as artificial muscles to power tiny robots or even prosthetic limbs in case of Bionics.
They may lead to developments like new sensors, materials and energy storage systems. They can be used to deliver drugs within the human body directly to target a specific area of tissue to medicate or cancerous cells.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016:
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2016 was awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi "for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy". With this, the sole winner becomes the 23rd Japanese national to win a Nobel prize and overall the sixth Japanese medicine Nobel laureate.
Autophagy is a process whereby cells "eat themselves". It is a fundamental process in cell physiology dealing with how the body breaks down and recycles cellular components.
Ohsumi's discoveries in Autophagy have led to a new paradigm in the understanding of how the cell recycles its content. In his research, Mr. Ohsumi had used baker's yeast to identify genes essential for autophagy.
Ohsumi's research had located the genes that regulate this self-eating process and also related that errors in these genes can cause disease. His findings have opened new path to understand importance of autophagy in many physiological processes, such as how body adapts to starvation or responds to infection.
The Nobel Prize in Literature 2016:
US folk singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, originally Allen Zimmerman has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for having "created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".
Dylan has been a popular choice for consideration over the years, despite his work not fitting into the traditional categories of novels and poems usually favoured by the judges.
The Nobel Peace Prize 2016:
The Nobel Peace Prize 2016 was awarded to Juan Manuel Santos"for his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end".
Santos and the leader of the FARC rebel group, Rodrigo Londoño, known as Timochenko, were both considered leading contenders for the prize after signing the peace deal in September 2016 to end 52 years of war.
The Nobel Prize in Economics 2016:
The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded jointly to Oliver Hart and Bengt Holmström "for their contributions to contract theory". Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has selected them for their contributions to contract theory which tells how contracts help people deal with conflicting interests.
Their individual theories on contract theory are valuable to the understanding of real-life contracts and institutions, as well as potential pitfalls in contract design.
Their work provided economists microecomic tools to understand interactions between entities, such as design of performance incentives in firms, corporate governance, privatisation, constitutional law and entrepreneur-investor relationships.
Must Know facts about Nobel Prize:
The Nobel Prizes were founded by Swedish industrialist and scientist Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite in 1866.
In his will dated November 27, 1895, Nobel dedicated a mammoth share of his fortune to honour work by awarding prizes in five areas – Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace. Economics was added in 1969.
The Nobel Prizes are announced in advance but distributed every year on December 10 to mark the death anniversary of Alfred Nobel.
The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics are awarded at a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, while the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded at a different ceremony in Oslo, Norway.
The inscription on the Nobel Peace medal is- "Pro pace et fraternitate gentium," which means – "For the peace and brotherhood of men."
Posthumous nominations can't be made for Nobel Prizes. More than three people can't share a Nobel Prize.
Malala Yousufzai, a Pakistani child education activist, is the youngest person to achieve the Nobel at the age of 17 in the year 2014.

"We realized that we can multiply our impact if we use the network of people here," Mr. Mahbubani says. "What took maybe six months to do here would have taken three years if we'd gone monkeying around by ourselves."
The price of attendance is very steep, involving an obligatory pledge, but for smaller players such as the Mahbubanis, it is the ticket into a tight-knit network that combines world-transforming idealism with elite connections.
What is new in the Clinton approach, but now widely imitated, is that the ex-president's group does almost nothing on the ground itself. Instead, it persuades others to join forces and take action, whether they're private- or public-sector, religious or corporate or volunteer. The range of commitments is huge, from "rebuild Pakistan" to "empower girls and women," as well as the famous Clinton commitments to fight AIDS and fix Haiti – or, rather, to get others to do so.
Unlike the older charities, they hope to create local economic conditions that make it unnecessary to have permanent agency headquarters in poor countries and regions. "You want to be in there so you're working yourself out of a job," Mr. Clinton says.
For their part, the Mahbubanis linked up with the Internet-driven charity Water.org, founded in part by actor Matt Damon, which seeks to provide clean water in poor countries. And they struck a deal with Invenio, a California-based social enterprise that uses an entrepreneurial model to provide solar-powered Internet access in dirt-poor rural areas (while technically a non-profit, it otherwise operates like a corporation).
The couple don't just give money to these organizations. They actively take part in their projects and activities, linking their interests with the varied objectives of their partners. "We didn't want to be a foundation that gives money to charity and never knows how it will be used," Ms. Mahbubani says. "We wanted to do this in a businesslike way. I questioned that approach at first, because this is philanthropy – it's different from the business world. But it has worked."
That sense of unease about the private-sector-dominated philanthropy pioneered by Mr. Clinton is shared by a lot of people. In Haiti, for example, the initiative has been criticized for having brought in flawed shelters that happen to be manufactured by a company owned by one of the Clinton members.
In traditional philanthropy, there was a stark line between the capitalist activities of the benefactors and the altruistic activities of their chosen causes. The Clintonites have blurred the line, and perhaps erased it forever.
For a vivid example, consider Thomas Nagy, executive vice-president of the Danish-based multinational biotech company Novozymes. One of his tasks is to oversee its social enterprises in sub-Saharan Africa: In Mozambique, and soon in other countries, Novozymes has mounted a huge venture to end the reliance of poor villagers and slum-dwellers on indoor charcoal stoves – a practice that creates chronic health problems and ecological destruction, both from the stoves themselves and from the charcoal-making trade, which destroys forests and belches out tonnes of carbon.
Novozymes is replacing tens of thousands of family cookstoves with gas stoves. It is also paying the charcoal makers to become cash-crop farmers, while helping set up markets for their crops.
If it works, the project is unquestionably beneficial to huge numbers of people. But nobody is pretending it's a purely altruistic venture. One of Novozymes's businesses is converting farm crops into ethanol fuel. The charcoal makers will be taught to grow plants Novozymes can buy for that purpose, such as cassava. And the gas stoves in turn will create a large new untapped market in ethanol cylinders, assuring future markets for Novozymes.
"This is for profit. It is a social venture, designed to assemble an entire value chain," Mr. Nagy says. "We are assembling a sustainable agricultural food and energy system with a supply chain that serves real needs, is more healthy and increases rural income and livelihood. It will have both a profit and a social and ecological benefit."
Replacing the fuel economy of an entire nation is a kind of project that no charity or UN agency or foreign government would ever have attempted. The new profit-friendly philanthropy is built around such coincidences of interest – or conflicts, depending on your perspective.Report Typo/Error

Montreal Canadiens re-sign PK Subban (2 yrs/$5.75M) Part 2

But it's different when it comes to someone like Price, because most people don't even know about
first nations heritage. Unlike say, Tootoo
, Price doesn't really practice many traditions as far as I know, and while his mother was a chief, he wasn't raised on a reservation (though he grew up near one). It's a part of his heritage, but like a lot of mixed native hockey players, it's something only fans really know about.
We actually have two players of indigenous ancestry; Bourque is métis (hence the French name) and has done a lot of off-ice work for Albertan native communities. Wonder if Price and Bourque have discussed doing any charitable work together, it would be good to see the organization represented in such a way
Very interesting post (lots of info).
And didn't know Bourque is Metis (half native Canadian). Price...I already knew his mother is native Canadian. Interesting info indeed. I'm pulling for Bourque to pick up his game and be the player we all know he can be (solid, gritty power forward).
I'm guilty of bashing Bourque a bit for last season's performance but was also hoping he could pick up his game for our Habs. Pleks is good for any player...and maybe DD can be good as well for Bourque or vice versa.
--------------------------------- ---------------------------
Gorges, Therrien, Markov...none of them seemed pleased about Subban finally signing (better to have the truth vs fake cliches, but surprised at the responses in the dressing room...doom and gloom).
Makes me really think the players were hoping Subban would get traded.
Maybe it's just true...many Hab players don't like Subban and some of us don't want to face the truth...hard to deny it now but seems too obvious Subban is not liked by his teammates (too loud? needs too much attention? very cocky? very arrogant? fights with teammates? cocky/unfriendly with staff? too colorful - no pun intended, very this, very that...me, me, me...starting to believe that some of the rumors are not just rumors since it's always the same player that is part of these rumors... but I'm still a huge Subban fan - the dman - ...I love the way he plays defense and offense...love the way he skates and always knows how to avoid a bodycheck - iron man - while protecting the puck...great for the PP, PK, 5 on 5...he has ultra skills/talent...sky is the limit). I felt that many of the rumors are true just by seeing how
Subban's teammates never ever defend him on the ice...even when 2-3 players are attacking Subban...no Hab player ever defends Subban...must be a reason
(no matter...I don't like to see this...teammates abandoning another teammate...maybe it has something to do with practice fights and how Subbie goes all out with bodychecks during practice? one reason out of so many... I really hope all of this gets sorted out 'cause we need Subban...so much hatred for this kid it's unbelievable...is it all about being humble and much more?).
I've got to admit...when I saw
Subban on ''The Hour''
...I felt that he was a huge bragger, was very very cocky/arrogant/fresh (not humble at all)...unlike his shy, more humble younger brother who also came on the show. But...maybe Subban just has a lot of personality (he does seem to love life and appreciate everything and that's great) and maybe it just appears like he's cocky...I don't know but I know this...I love Subban the dman. I can't imagine Subban wearing another jersey.
I really hope Hab players find a way to all get along...'cause Subban wants a Cup and can definitely help our Habs get that Cup.
who is Subban's roommate on the road?
Eller? (not sure). Eller in TSN article is the only one who was quoted in a positive way...''A player of P.K.'s calibre is always welcome in the lineup...he's playing a lot of minutes so he's going to be important to us. I'm sure he'll make the team better."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/1/2012 (2048 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
FOLKS in the Stuartburn-Piney area of Manitoba can't be too surprised they still don't have adequate cellphone service.
After all, they were also the last in southern Manitoba to get highways, telephone service, postal service and electricity (not until 1954!), according to this new academic-press book.
The province's first Ukrainian pioneers in Manitoba, who settled in the southeast, also got just about the poorest land imaginable -- swamp, peat, poplar forest and stony fields that were often beyond being cultivated.
John Lehr, a University of Winnipeg geography professor, has written an excellent "historical geography" of how that Ukrainian settlement endured. While the book's title sounds about as exciting as a government white paper, the contents make for a thoroughly entertaining but still scholarly read.
Lehr writes that the British Canadian establishment turned up its nose from the moment the Ukrainian pioneers arrived in Manitoba in 1896. The Winnipeg Telegram called the new pioneers "the scum of Europe," "moral lepers," and "the sweepings of European gaols." The establishment at the time wanted to maintain racial purity by accepting only British Protestant immigrants.
The land the first Ukrainians tried to farm was "mixed woodland with some prairie openings." The newcomers actually passed on better, open prairie because the land around Stuartburn -- established in 1879 by Stuart Miller, who, in all humility, named it after himself -- was land on which a person could work at subsistence farming.
It had water, a little bit of open prairie for crops and for livestock to graze, and forests for timber for homes, fences and firewood.
The Ukrainians took advantage of what the land had to offer. They dug up Seneca root (used to treat colds) and sold it to the New York market. There were plenty of frogs in that swamp land so they harvested them in the 1920s. The frogs were shipped live to Minneapolis, processed, and the canned frog legs sold to France.
The first Ukrainians in Western Canada arrived in Alberta in 1891. The U.S. closed its frontier to new pioneers in 1893, so more started to look to Canada. The Ukrainian migration to Manitoba lasted from 1896 to 1914, the start of the First World War. Ukrainians filled 1,500 homesteads in the Stuartburn area.
In many ways, Lehr saves the most entertaining for last: the Ukrainian penchant for making homebrew. "Penchant" may be too weak a noun. Train conductors reportedly could smell the homebrew from the train stations.
The settlers made whisky from potatoes or grain. And if they weren't consuming homebrew, they were imbibing Hoffman's Tonic, made up of alcohol and codeine. The cough syrup was initially purchased by the bottle, and later by the pail.
If there's a criticism of this book it's that the settling of Stuartburn is not put in the broader context of the Ukrainian settlement in Manitoba, particularly Dauphin, or in the context of Ukrainian settlement in Canada. Lehr focuses strictly on the southeast. Also, it's an academic work, first and foremost, so the inclusion of some parts is required and may not appeal to the lay reader.
But that's small beer. There are all kinds of books about pioneering: first-person accounts from the actual pioneers; self-published works by local people with a love of an area's history; and professional writers blending anecdote with existing research.
Lehr provides both fresh and aggregated research, lightly mixed with anecdote. It's a great addition to the canon of history and cultural books on Manitoba.

Hey guys!
So, I was to Japan as an exchange student. And wrote diary; approximately three pages every single day. As I think it may be interesting translating the thoughts of an exchange student in Japan, I'm no going to do this.
Some backround information:
I was to Japan from March to July 2015(4 1/2 month). I lived in Chiba with a host family.
I went there with the organization WYS (Word Youth Society).
Here we go.
(The text written in italics are comments, I added in retrospect)
#11 the flight to Japan
Real date: March 22th
We are now in the plane. The check-in was easy ans fast 'cause we only needed our boarding cards and our visa. The plane was really huge (seat numbers from 1 to 50 and rows from A to K) but the seats are as tiny as in the previous plane. But, however, we got a lot of stuff (What I meant by that was the hygiene products, that were given to every one in a small bag. I really liked them.) The TV in the seats was in 4 diffrent languages (Turkish, English, Japanese and I do not remember the forth one). (I did not actually understand the next sentencec's structure but I think, it should go like this:) We have radio here as well and we got slippers (so plushy <3) (this was great because I did not bring my own and now I can just use this slippers in Japan and WTF (I do not know, why I wrote this)). We also got a pillow and a kind of blanket and dual audio pins. I am sitting next to a Japanese guy (as about 70% of this flight's guests). He then, however, changed places with another "Salaryman" (I don't know, why I wrote this in quotation marks) because he took the wrong seat.
Here, everyone is speaking Japanese and I really look forward to my exchange, also because I understand some words and phrases. (I actually remember a conversation, I catched white everyone was leaving it, that I could fully understand. It went something like this: A: *asked somebody to hand him his bag* (I did not understand this somehow) B: *hands bag* Kore mo (This as well? *pointing at another bag next to the previously handed*) A: Hai. (Yes.) B:(The bag was pink so she said with a laugther: Kawaii (Adorable.) *handing this bag to A as well* A:Arigatou gozaimasu(That you very much.) I was so proud of me, that I could understand that.)
I am also a bit relaxed now, because I could read the Kanjis for Osaka (Big town in Japan) on a tourist's T-Shirt and Karina could not. She also told me, that she feels like she cannot speak a word in Japanese, (Man, how mischievous am I?!)
The Japanese girls are so pretty. (Yes, they are.)
Maybe, I cut myself a fringe in Japan (I actually thought about this idea more that once in Japan because all this Japanese girls with fringes are just so adorable and pretty!)
Two funny and happy Japanese women are sitting in front of me (B from the dialogue). In about 4 1/2 month I'll understand them completely. (This is actually a little overpowerd. I mean, an exchange is obviously a great language boost, but after it, you will not know every single word in the language.)
I really think, that Karina will get some problems in Japan. Maybe, her Japanese is better that mine, but she told me (as a joke(So it was a joke. So an argumentation based on this is pointless. Seriously.)), that she would like some whisky or beer or whatever alcohol.. well, she just seems to only want to do, what she likes.
Futhermore, she did not went to school the last two weeks before her exchange and told me, that she has "problems enough" with school.(As the month before my exchange was basically the time, when I started with scheduling, planning time and developting timemanagemetn- skills, I really asked myself, what she did this whole two weeks without school) However, we'll see. (spoiler alert: She actually got some problems, but.. you will definitely see later!).
I really would like to talk to the Japanese man next to me (to learn a little Japanese) but I think, I would annoy him.
In the plane, I watched "The wulf mother"(by Studio Ghibli)(it was a really good movie) and got a tax- item- sheet (I do not know the appropriate name, but this is like the sheet, where you fill in if you are taking dangerous items to the country, you are going to travel to) and some mini- cubic sweets, which were really tasty. (I really like plane food)
A few (a lot) hours later, I lso watched a movie called "The Oz game" or so (This movie was interesting as well.) and I am currently watching "The ape planet". (I did not continue watching this, however.) We had dinner yesterday and I made myself eating everything, even fish (:/), but I will have to eat this kind of food a lot. In the evening and morning (I am from now on speaking of the Japanese time), I went to the tiny bathroom. (The plane was literally so tiny, especally the aisle between the seat was so narrow, that two persons could hardly go ther next to each other. So, there always was a long queue in front of the bathroom and it took a lot of time to wait there.) I have to say, I could make myself comfortable with this (plane-) lifestlye.
In the night, I tried to sleep, but as it was really uncomfortable and tiny, I could not really sleep. But for about an hour (6:30 to 7:30 AM) I could get some sleep. I am not feeling very tired. I also did some Anki (a vocablurary- learining app, I really studies with quite frequently)
Now, the day has arrived and we are above the sea in front of Japan (I think, it is the Japanese sea between China, Korea and Japan). I set my mobile clock to the Japanes time and I am now really looking forward to the exchange. Somehow, nights make homesick. I can now feel, that we are sinking and starting landing (if that makes any sense). I guess I will start packing my stuff.
I cannot find my diary pen :o However, I can't believe it, but now I can already tick the first day in my calendar. This went fast. (I used to have a calender, in which's yearly overviw section I would cross through each day, I had accomplished sucessfully.)
I hope, you liked this part

I am in the armed forces and will not say which branch for reasons. I don't appreciate what Griever is doing on here. I am not trying to make him an enemy or anything. It is just the fact he is parading on here, uploading pics of himself, and talking about his upcoming deployments. Everybody in the military has to to keep info like that confidential for security reasons. So why is Griever, and others on here doing what we are all told not to do? I respect my fellow brothers in arms, but their actions need to change.
Other then that talk, I was wondering something. How do you all feel about the Global Wat on "Terror". Should we be where we are? What do you think is the agenda of the war, the true agenda? How about 9-11?

Mandarin Salad
Recipe by SharleneW
Mmmm, try this for your next pot-luck. Easy to make. I especially love the crunchy sugared almonds and toasted ramen noodles. This could easily be made into a main-dish salad by adding grilled chicken breast strips.
Top Review by Bertha C.
Very yummy.... Definately a make-again. I fixed the salad, dressing, noodles and almonds ahead of time and tossed it together just before dinner. I didn't watch the almonds closely enough though and they got a little bit "toasted." I have seen sugared almond slivers in the grocery store and will try them next time along with a few water chestnuts.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hello, I'm Dr. Kara. I have over 20 years of experience as a veterinarian and I'd like to help. Please give me a moment to review your concerns.
How big are the pieces he may have eaten (1 or 2 inches square)?
Is this metal screen or plastic?
How long ago did this occur?
How does he seem to be feeling now? Any nausea or loose stools?
Thanks very much, give me several moments to write up my recommendations.
I also do not recommend inducing vomiting in cases where dogs eat sharp objects like a metal screening. The chances of tearing his esophagus or stomach or the screen getting stuck as his stomach contracts to force the metal out is much too high.
My hope he at least chewed this up a little before he swallowed as that will make passage a little easier.
You have a couple options.
One is to have him seen by his veterinarian and radiographs taken to see where the material is now. If it is in his stomach and they have an endoscope they may be able to retrieve it that way. If the screen is zinc plated this would be ideal as zinc is a toxin and can lead to stomach ulcers, bleeding, red blood cell damage, kidney and liver failure in dogs.
The other option, since he seems well so far, is to try to get this foreign material to pass through his gastrointestinal tract. And that his stomach acid helps us by dissolving the fragments.
I recommend starting with a vaseline sandwich. Take half a slice of whole wheat bread, slather with vaseline as you would peanut butter on a slice of bread, cover with the second half slice. Feed it to him bite sized piece by piece or he will make a huge vaseline mess. This adds fiber and hopefully makes the pieces slip rather than catch.
For the next few days, until the pieces pass, he'll need to be fed a bland diet with lots of fiber added in small meals several times a day, 4 to 6 meals is ideal. We do this so the pieces are surrounded, the gut isn't irritated and isn't contracting on just sharp metal.A homemade diet for this is 1/3 boiled hamburger or white, skinless chicken, all fats and juices drained and 2/3 white rice. Add 2-4 tablespoons of canned pumpkin, (not pie filling, just pumpkin), to each meal for fiber.You'll need to check his stools frequently for pieces in the next few days.
Signs that things aren't going well, and he needs an immediate veterinary visit, are vomiting, a tense painful belly, lack of an appetite, a fever (more than 103.5F rectally) and lethargy.
If you aren't seeing fragments in the next day or two a veterinary visit and an abdominal radiograph to see where the pieces are would be best. If it doubt at all that things aren't going well it is always best to have him checked.
Once the pieces are passed and he's feeling well then start mixing in his regular food, adding a little more regular and less bland at each meal. It should take a week to get him converted back to regular food.
The safest thing to do would be to have him examined, and try to retrieve the screen if possible, both because it is likely to be sharp and the concerns with zinc toxicity.
But he is a big fellow, and is the screen is very thin we may be able to get this to pass.
How you proceed depends upon how available emergency care is for him, and whether you feel comfortable trying things at home.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hello, I wanted to make sure that you didn't have any further questions for me, and I'd like to know how things turned out for your pup. If you could give me an update that would be great, thank you, ***** *****

Report of Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on Information Architecture for the Battlefield (Nov. 1994) (full-text).
Overview Edit
The Task Force addressed four aspects of information architecture for the battlefield: the use of information in warfare; the use of information warfare, both offensive and defensive; the business practices of the DoD in acquiring and using battlefield information systems; and the underlying technology required to develop and implement these systems.
This report emphasizes the importance of the warfighter as the principal customer for battlefield information systems. In today's complex world, the warfighter requires flexible information systems that can be readily and rapidly adapted to accomplish different missions. Further, the Task Force is quite concerned that DoD information systems are highly vulnerable to information warfare. However, the Task Force also found that the information systems of potential adversaries are also quite vulnerable.
The Task Force believes that management structure changes can provide an effective approach to integration of disparate systems. The group reinforces that notion that the DoD can greatly enhance the effectiveness of limited DoD resources by leveraging available commercial products and technology.
While the Armed Services and agencies are making good progress in developing programs to improve battlefield information interoperability, continued systemic improvement is needed to ensure a flexible joint information structure is achieved. A broader warfighter involvement in the development of joint requirements for battlefield information systems is required. A more coordinated approach to expanding offensive and defensive information warfare capability is necessary.
Finally, modifications must be made to DoD acquisition processes to enable better use of rapidly evolving commercial technologies.

Juggling your career and family can be a challenge.
SmartPA have created an exciting opportunity that affords you the income and flexibility you require to achieve the best of both worlds.
It's no wonder that SmartPA Franchise is the fastest growing Partnership amongst women in the UK, aged 25 – 55.
"SmartPA has had an enormous impact on my life – it has enabled me to establish myself and run my own business from home. I have been able to leave the corporate world behind with the long hours and hardly seeing my family, to a life of working the hours I please, doing the school run, having dinner with my children, doing bath time and, finally, building my own business whilst reaping all the other rewards I aim for daily" – Rebecca Cross, Southampton
As well as flexible working hours, Partners can enjoy other benefits, such as: no commute, no childcare and a better work:life balance. A SmartPA Partnership is designed to fit around your life. This includes our training which is all delivered online and through Skype, allowing you learn in your own time, around your children or whilst still in full-time employment.
"My biggest challenge as an employee was childcare. Not just costs but not being able to be the main carer for my children created guilt. So now, instead of my children fitting around work, I now fit my work around my children. I get a total work:life balance – my children don't even think I work! The biggest positive impact is being able to pick my daughter up from school every day and spend the evening with her rather than being stuck on a train – especially now the homework is coming in fast and furious".– Aloka Birring, London
SmartPA support Partners at every turn, even when they need time off. If you need a break, short or extended, SmartPA can support your clients and will pay you ongoing commission. This means if you need time off, to have a baby or for unforeseen circumstances, you can still earn without being in the business. Head Office will also support the growth of your business with paid work from Head Office and guaranteed clients.
"Since joining SmartPA last year, I cannot believe the support I have received from Head Office. From the CEO joining me at my first networking event, to being provided with a client earning my business over £6,000, SmartPA has supported me at every turn. In just 6 months, I am now earning £2,000 per month. I have achieved the lifestyle balance I desired, working from home and really enjoying this new way of life. I would recommend SmartPA to anyone!" – Jacqui Strachan, Fife
SmartPA Franchise is not only dedicated to supporting you in business but also to achieve the lifestyle you desire. There has never been a better time to become a SmartPA Partner. Find out more about SmartPA on Reed Commercial now.Tags: smartpa, work flexibly

Derry City bubble burst by classy Dundalk
Derry City 0-2 Dundalk
A first half red card to Derry City midfielder Conor McCormack paved the way for another Dundalk victory at the Brandywell.
The midfielder went into a 50-50 challenge on Dundalk's Sean Gannon after 24 minutes and referee Rob Harvey adjudged it as dangerous and immediately produced the red card.
It left Derry City to play the league champions with ten men for over an hour, and despite a brave effort from Peter Hutton' steam, the class of Dundalk eventually told. Derry's resistance lasted until added time at the end of the first half as a mistake from defender Rob Cornwall gifted the visitors a goal.
Cornwall failed to clear when under pressure and Dundalk broke quickly, Dane Massey playing a ball into the heart of the penalty area where Ciaran Kilduff was unmarked and he simply slid the ball past Gerard Doherty to give the champions the lead.
Hutton's players put in a brave shift in the second half and good work from Timlin created a crossing opportunity for Dean Jarvis on 64 minutes. The full back's high cross went deep towards Gary Rogers' back post where Rob Cornwall suddenly found himself unmarked, but the angle was against him and he headed straight at the goalkeeper.
But Dundalk reacted strongly to that scare, and Doherty was forced to save his first shot of the second half as John Mountney again got into a promising position in behind the Derry defence and his pass inside found Richie Towell, who brought a smart save from the City goalkeeper.
On 84 minutes the ball broke kindly for McMillan but despite hitting a fierce effort at goal he was denied by a spectacular save from Doherty, who pushed the ball away brilliantly.
But Derry's luck ran out with just two minutes remaining as Seamus Sharkey dallied on the ball on the edge of his own penalty area and Massey dispossessed him before setting up McMillan, who sent a low shot past Doherty into the bottom corner to seal all three points for Dundalk.
Derry City: Doherty, Jarvis, McEneff, McBride (Sharkey 73), McCormack, McNamee, Lowry, Dooley (Curtis 45), Cornwall, Timlin (Curran 82), Barry.
Dundalk: Rogers, Gannon, Gartland, Boyle, O'Donnell, Horgan, Mountney, Finn, Massey, Kilduff (McMillan 75), Towell.
Referee: Robert Harvey.

City of Orange Code Enforcement Targeting House with All-Native Plants Front Yard--Again
By Joel Robinson
In east Orange (the sprawling part, where history was erased), my mom received another code violation for her native habitat garden in her front yard. It has been five years since we won our legal effort to preserve our native habitat garden. And here we go again
The city responded to an anonymous individual's complaint that the vegetation exceeded a maximum height requirement of 42 inches extending 20 feet from the sidewalk towards the front of the house. Many other neighborhood front yards obviously violate this code, but the city will only focus on our yard. They say that the high vegetation obstructs the view between pedestrians on the sidewalk, drivers on the street, and drivers leaving their driveways. Many city trees and landscapes also violate this code. If it is such a serious safety issue, then why obligate only one yard to the 42-inch rule and ignore the rest of the neighborhood?
Scene from a trimming
During a site visit 5 years ago, Howard Morris, head of landscape for the city, said that he appreciated the use of taller evergreen shrubs around the perimeter of the yard in order to hide the interior seasonal dormancy of native grasses, herbs, and small shrubs. In fact, the head of planning and code enforcement also admitted that there was nothing wrong with our yard. Of course, I had an attorney present during that meeting.

This year, the new code violation letter happened to arrive when our evergreen shrubs finally reached the level of maturity to provide habitat for nesting birds. Melodious songs could be heard from the male goldfinches, song sparrows, Bewick's wrens, and other species hoping to attract mates. Many shrubs were blooming as well, including the lilac, coyote brush, toyon, lemonadeberry, and encelia. All sorts of pollinating insects buzzed and flitted around the splashes of yellow, purple, lavender, white, and pink. Even a treefrog could be heard croaking from a shady spot underneath a shrub! The larger shrubs conveniently blocked the radiating heat and unpleasant view of the excessively wide street.
Sadly, during this spring's nesting season, my mom was obligated to trim down all the hedges to the 42-inch height requirement, which exposed defoliated undergrowth and removed many of the flowers and fruit. Now the native habitat garden is visually and biologically degraded. Because shade was removed, the soil is now exposed to more sunlight, the plants will lose more water, and erosion will increase. Birds and butterflies have lost some of their nesting, cover, and foraging material.
All the while, the city promotes on their website and newsletter that they are going green by encouraging residents to install a native landscape similar to ours.
Our yard requires no water, herbicide, or fossil fuels. It requires no maintenance. It is the least polluting yard in the entire neighborhood. The city has never recognized or celebrated our efforts to go green. Instead, we have been threatened with code violations, fines and jail time. I don't believe the city really wants to go green. They seem to be "greenwashing" for marketing purposes. Let us not forget that this is the same city that unanimously approved The Irvine Company's proposal to build thousands of tract homes through the native shrub-dominated foothills of Orange County's last rural open space.
Valentine left by a neighbor
On our eerily quiet 1970s "cul-de-sac" (literally "ass of the bag" in French), it is clear to see that the height of our native shrubs is not a safety issue. Nothing dangerous ever happens in our sterile, stucco suburban environment. Right now, some of our neighbors may be secretly dying of sheer boredom. It is false logic to blame a shrub for the dangerous decisions of humans. Every time nature is pushed back for the sake of "progress" there is a profound increase in irresponsible behavior, such as driving faster, jogging with earphones, ignoring surroundings, blaming others for personal negligence, wasting water, polluting the air, killing the wildlife, and on and on...
We wrote a letter of concern to the mayor and hope to receive a response in a few weeks.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/4/2014 (1222 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An upcoming hockey tournament is placing its focus on fun first and winning second.
The fifth annual Hockey Manitoba Cup, an adult recreational hockey tournament, is taking place at the MTS Iceplex (3969 Portage Ave.) from April 17 to 19. The weekend features 78 teams from across Manitoba, separated into 10 divisions, playing in a recreational hockey tournament. It's a competition, but winning isn't at the forefront of the players' minds.
"The purpose of the tournament was to acknowledge the adult recreation stream of hockey and acknowledge players that are looking to play after their minor hockey and junior years," said Kyle Prystupa, manager of development and communications at Hockey Manitoba.
Prystupa said organizing a recreational hockey tournament was the best way to allow everyone to have fun playing hockey without being too fixated on winning.
One of the teams participating is the Silver Bullets Hockey Club, a team made up of players from the St. James and Charleswood areas.
"We're probably going to have 15 (players) on the roster, but that's including our spares. (We'll have) more like 10 to 12 that will actually play during the game," team manager Alfred Chan, 54, said.
Prystupa said there will be more than 145 games played during the weekend between the 10 divisions of 78 teams. On April 17, all teams will play their first game between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., but Prystupa said games will continue that day until 11 p.m. On April 18, games will go from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. April 19 will see games from 8 a.m. to about 6 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to attend the tournament to watch the excitement. There is no admission fee.
"It isn't your average hockey tournament or your adult rec hockey tournament," Prystupa said. "We strive for the participant experience. We offer a lot of things your average tournaments can't and don't offer, and we're proud of that."
Teams participating in the Hockey Manitoba Cup can expect to receive entry gifts and a team party with door prizes. Winners in each division will receive prizes and medals, and each winning division team will get a championship trophy.
Prystupa also said teams can also get a chance to win the pro team experience, the newest giveaway at the Hockey Manitoba Cup.
According to the Hockey Manitoba website, teams "can win a chance to be treated like a professional hockey team with a head coach, equipment manager, sponsored jerseys, matching socks, skate sharpening, towel service, water bottles, snack table, and Gatorade".

Classy job David. I carved for a living for 28 yrs. but never tried any engraving. Could have studied under Ruby Wells here in Prescott but you know how that hind site works. Very nice work. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. :)
Thanks Dale. Yeah, that hind sight will getcha. I should have more pics to post very soon. When I have time I'll try and get a tutorial posted as well.

As I walk toward the Snape house, I realize how unprepared I felt. My emotions all over the place - anxiety the only constant. My palms are damp and I feel flushed. I seem to be walking quite slowly toward my destination.
Finally standing before the dark house, I marshall all the courage I have and knock on his door. Muffled, I hear, "come in." Entering, I find him sitting in a large chair with a cup of tea. He looks posed.
"Care to sit?" he asks, gesturing to the chair beside his own. I perch on the edge of the chair after removing my cloak. Smoothing my skirt over my knees, I cross my ankles. I felt anxious and somehow vulnerable. I found my arms crossing without thinking.
"Your letter was quite vague. What is the meaning of this visit?" He was nearly businesslike in his tone.
I had already decided not to waste my time or his. Honesty was the only way. I met his gaze. "James has proposed. I have not yet given him an answer."
To his credit, Severus did not appear unnerved in the slightest. He sipped his tea. "Why ever not?"
I glared at him. "I feel I have some unfinished business."
"Really?" His nonchalance was maddening.
"I suppose if you disagree, then I have nothing to do here." I stood abruptly.
His thin fingers wrapped around my wrist and pulled me toward him. I stood there for a long moment, our eyes locked. I waited until I saw something in his eyes, in his face, that was familiar. That was Severus. When I saw it, as brief as it was, I relaxed some. Setting aside his tea, I slid into his lap.
His serenity remained even as I wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled his neck with my face. Breathing deeply, he smelled achingly familiar. It nearly brought tears to my eyes, but his hands on my face stopped my breath and all thoughts.
"Lily," he said, softly and breathily, "you should not be here."
"I had to see you one last time. I didn't know if you would see me, but I had to try." He brought his face to mine and our foreheads bumped together he was so close. His eyes were shut but his grip was like steel around my wrist.
"What made you think of me when your...beau was on bended knee?" His eyes flew open at the mention of James, punctuating his disdain with a sneer, as well as causing an intense pang of nostalgia. No one was ever quite so dramatic as Severus, but instead of being a hissy mess like the school gossip, Severus was sarcastic and brilliantly witty. I had to bite my lip to prevent the tears I could feel coming.
I found myself at a loss for words though, trapped there so close to him, tears threatening, my nerves so frayed I couldn't think straight. Maybe it wasn't nerves.
The silence was thick with tension and after a moment, my eyes slid shut and I listened to him breathe. He seemed to be breathing completely normal and so as I listened, I began to pattern my breathing after his. Slow, deep breaths. I began to feel calmer immediately.
He released my wrists and without thinking, I brought my hands to his chest and opened my eyes, hoping he wouldn't fling me off. He sighed heavily and rolled his eyes, but the slightest smile broke free from his scowl and he hugged me tightly to him in a surprisingly fluid motion. His face was pressed against my neck. I couldn't help but be aware of his lips right near my ear, little bursts of hot breath coming from him.
It felt so good to hug him, I thought I would definitely cry, but instead, I nestled in and tried to enjoy the moment as much as I could. He was satisfying in a different way than James was. Like the subtle, yet nice differences between eating chocolate and eating strawberries. Both good in their own ways.
After a few moments of blissful silence, he finally spoke. "Why are you here?"
Why was he doing this? Was there some reason he felt the need to hear me say it? Had he become a glutton for punishment along with a minion to the Dark Lord? But the words seemed heartfelt and so I said, softly, "Like I said. Unfinished business."
He squeezed me tightly one last time and pulled back a little to look at my face. "Correct me if I am wrong, but you're here to say good-bye."
Tears welled again. "Yes." I felt so sorry for myself right then, but I tried and tried to focus on him. To remind myself that as bad as it was for me, he was worse off. I could go back to James. He would return to an empty bed with memories and nothing more.
His face scrunched up in a most unbecoming way and I couldn't tell if he would cry or yell. After a moment, he seemed to regain his color and his control. "It is for the best. You must not return here."
My eyes slid shut then and I could not figure out what to do. So he had given up. My mind was made up, but...but some part of me had hoped he might...might fight for me. Stupid. Selfish. Yet, I ached like my body had been dunked in a tub of ice water.
He brought his lips to mine, his cool hands cupping my face gently, his lips pressing gently. After a moment, he pulled back. "Promise me you won't return."
Eyes flying open, I started to shake my head, but his hands held fast. "I can't do that." It came out as a whisper.
His lips thinned and his jaw worked. "This place is not safe. No place is safe, but you cannot come here again."
I nodded as much as his hands would allow, but I knew I was lying. I would come back. I would always come back.
"Say it, Lily," Severus said, kissing the tip of my nose before feathering small kisses along the edge of my lips.
"I won't come back." My hands had found the nape of his neck and the feeling of his slim neck beneath my fingers was exciting...
His lips moved to the crick of my neck and a sigh escaped before I could squelch it. "Promise me," he breathed against the moistened skin.
"I...I promise, Sev." Finally he covered my mouth and slid his tongue along the seam once before pushing possessively into my mouth.
The aggressive desire was nearly coming off him in waves and I couldn't help but be swept away by it as his hands scrambled madly with my top. I couldn't find it within myself to resist. All I could think was: this is it, this is the last time...forever and ever. It meant every kiss, every caress was punctuated by an erotic sadness.
I considered speaking for a moment, but dismissed it. Nothing I can say can help right now. Instead, I slid my hands into his trousers onto his hips and continued to snog him, trying not to think about where this was leading.
"Lily," he whispered, pulling back only a bit, "how long can you stay?"
"Few hours," I said, not meeting his eyes. "Why?"
"How would you like to spend our last hours together, Lily?"
His voice sent shivers down my spine and tingles deep inside. I knew my smile had to be sad. "Brew a potion?"
"Look at me," he said firmly. I couldn't help but do so. His eye swere dark and I searched them for some color, some lightness. Nothing but black and spots of deep dark brown. The sparkle was coming from deeper inside. "As much as I despise this place, it would be made more tolerable if you would accompany me to my room."
Whoa. I tried not to appear startled, but he may have seen it anyway, I didn't look at him to see. After swallowing and thinking fast, I said, "Do you really feel the need to ask?"
He shrugged. "I would prefer you ask, but I understand you want to keep some semblance of fidelity to..." He scowled.
I swallowed again. I knew what he wanted and it was such a small thing, really. Tomorrow, James and I would be together again and for every day after that. Then bound in holy matrimony within a few months.
"Severus, will you take me to your bed and ravish me like..." I met his eyes, which were narrowed slightly, "...like you may never see me again?"
He swept me into his arms and hugged me tightly, unable to breathe for a moment due to his hold. "Thank you," he whispered in my ear.
He led me to his room, which was actually the same room he had slept in as long as I had known him. I followed him in, taking in the room.
"Your room hasn't changed much."
"It is only a place to sleep." He pulled the covers back on the twin bed and sat at the edge. "At least, it was until now. Accept my apologies for the size of the bed. I am too tall for it, but I haven't had the time to procure another."
I eyed him, but sat beside him, my shirt still open from earlier. "Have you considered using your parents'--"
He cut me off. "No."
"I understand, just...erm, curious, I guess." Where did my sudden anxiety come from? Was I having second thoughts? Had his childhood bedroom jogged something? I had been here once before when we were about ten years old and it had been a disaster...
Instead, I turned and looked at Severus. He seemed nervous, his eyes darting about the room and his hands twisting in the bed linens. His eyes met mine and he smiled slightly. It was adorable.
I slid my arm around his waist and slid up against him, putting my face against his chest. "I hope you don't hate me, Sev."
He slid his arms around me, but his chest seemed to tighten under my head. "Not a chance."
I scoffed. "I would probably hate me if I were you."
"I have tried. It just isn't possible."
I squeezed him and turned my face to his. "I am so sorry, Severus. You really deserve better."
"I just wish things had turned out differently--"
"Please, I have enough regrets for us both. Now I will kiss you and you will stop speaking."
He was good as his word.
It was difficult to leave Severus, but I did. Looking back over my shoulder, I told myself I would not return. I didn't believe it, but it was the right thing to do. Somehow, I can't imagine never seeing him again - never seeing the look on his face when he leans in to kiss me - I don't know that I could live another fifty years without it. Yeah, I'll be back.
It's a comforting thought.
A/N: I had this typed up & I wanted to finish this story so I could stop thinking about it (writer's remorse for leaving it partially finished).

What Are Rectal Cancer Symptoms and Signs?
Patient Comments Read 14 Comments
Rectal cancer can cause many symptoms and signs that require a person to seek medical care. However, rectal cancer may also be present without any symptoms, underscoring the importance of routine health screening. Symptoms and signs to be aware of include the following:
Note that sometimes hemorrhoids (swollen veins in the anal area) can mimic the pain, discomfort, and bleeding seen with anal-rectal cancers. Individuals who have the above symptoms should get a medical exam of their anal-rectal area to be sure they have an accurate diagnosis.

C&S To Assume Ownership of Bi-Lo Holdings' Distribution Arm
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Bi-Lo Holdings, LLC here, the new parent company of the Bi-Lo and Bruno¿s Supermarkets chains that had been owned by Ahold, said yesterday it will transfer the ownership of its warehouse facilities and management of its distribution and replenishment functions to C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., a food distributor based in Keene, N.H.
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Bi-Lo Holdings, LLC here, the new parent company of the Bi-Lo
and Bruno's Supermarkets chains that had been owned by Ahold, said yesterday it will
transfer the ownership of its warehouse facilities and management of its distribution and
replenishment functions to C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., a food distributor based in
Keene, N.H.
The news came as Bi-Lo Holdings announced key elements of a new business plan. As
part of the plan, Bi-Lo Holdings will also begin integrating Bruno's information
technology systems with Bi-Lo's systems, and will consolidate the corporate support
functions of both chains at Bi-Lo's headquarters office in Mauldin, S.C.
Dean Cohagan, president and c.e.o. of Bi-Lo and Bruno's said in a statement, "After a
careful and comprehensive analysis of our business performance and future prospects, we
have developed a plan that is designed to make our company more efficient by reducing
costs and more responsive by simplifying the way we do business. The plan is also aimed
at focusing our efforts and resources more sharply on what we do best -- operating great
supermarkets and providing exceptional customer service."
Under the distribution agreement, C&S will assume ownership of warehouse facilities
when the transaction closes and management of distribution and replenishment activities
over the next several months. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
C&S will purchase Bi-Lo's distribution centers in Mauldin, S.C. and Chattanooga, Tenn.,
as well as a third center in Birmingham, Ala. that primarily services the Bruno's chain.
The centers distribute products to more than 450 Bi-Lo and Bruno's supermarkets
throughout the Southeast.
Preparation for the transition of the distribution facilities to C&S will begin immediately
and proceed over the next several months, Bi-Lo Holdings said. The transition is expected
to be completed by mid-year 2005.
All 1,650 employees who currently work in the three distribution centers will be offered
positions with C&S.
Commenting on the agreement, C&S c.e.o. Rick Cohen said, "Combining the strength of
C&S's distribution expertise with the experience and commitment of the newest members
of our team, we hope to make a significant contribution to Bi-Lo and Bruno's future
success. We are very excited to be able to enter the Southeast market with such a well-
established and respected supermarket business."
Other key elements of Bi-Lo and Bruno's business plan include the integration of Bruno's
information technology systems with Bi-Lo's systems, as well as the consolidation of the
corporate support functions of both chains at Bi-Lo's office in Mauldin.
Bruno's current accounting, merchandising, pricing, payroll, and store systems will be
integrated into Bi-Lo's systems. Once the store systems conversions are completed, Bi-
Lo and Bruno's stores will operate under common systems.
Like the systems integration initiative, the consolidation of the corporate support
functions of Bi-Lo and Bruno's in Mauldin is aimed at reducing costs and eliminating
duplications. The consolidation will begin immediately and is expected to be completed in
the third quarter of 2005. Approximately 175 positions at Bruno's headquarters office in
Birmingham will be affected.
Bi-Lo operates 287 stores in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee, and
employs approximately 23,000 associates. Bruno's operates 168 stores in Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi, and employs approximately 11,500 associates.
C&S, a privately owned company, distributes to more than 3,500 stores and warehouse
clubs from its 42 distribution centers in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, and Hawaii.

About hawkbit Edit
Hawkbits (Leontodon spp.) are dandelion-like flowers in the family Asteraceae (Compositae). Their English name derives from the mediæval belief that hawks ate the plant to improve their eyesight. Although originally native to Eurasia and North Africa, they have since become established in other countries, including the United States[1] and New Zealand.
The greens are used in cooking.
