IRVINE – Firefighters extinguished a roof fire at Prego Ristorante on Thursday afternoon that forced the closure of the popular Irvine restaurant.
More than 75 firefighters were called to the 18400 block of Von Karman Avenue after heavy smoke and flames were seen coming from the roof of the restaurant about 1:10 p.m.
The restaurant was open for business when the fire was reported, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Marc Stone said. Waiters, chefs and customers were standing in the parking lot of the restaurant after the building was evacuated.
About 25 employees and 50 to 80 customers were inside when the smoke and fire were seen, Stone said.
Officials initially believed that the fire was knocked down about 1:45 p.m., but soon discovered that flames were running through the attic.
"They thought they had the upper hand, and they didn't," Stone said.
Crews were slowed by the Spanish-tiled roof of the restaurant.
"We have to break and pull each tile," Stone said.
By 2:10 p.m., the blaze was under control, Stone said, after crews were able to reach it by punching holes up through the ceiling and down through the roof. Some firefighters remained on the scene Thursday evening to put out remaining hot spots and make sure the fire didn't re-ignite.
The flames were kept to the ceiling and fire crews worked to salvage and protect the contents of the building during the blaze, but smoke and water damage spread throughout the restaurant.
"It will be shut down for probably quite some time," Stone said.
Ugo Allesina, Prego's executive chef, said he attempted to fight the fire before crews arrived, holding an apron in front of his mouth as he used three small fire extinguishers to douse flames near a kitchen exhaust on the third floor of the building.
The chef said he was impressed with how little time it took for firefighters to arrive at the burning restaurant.
"It makes me feel like I live in a safe city," Allesina said.
The fire left several employees and patrons in awe, including a 62-year-old customer who said she was planning on having her wedding there Saturday.
"I'm not sure what to do next," said Christine Emerson of Irvine. "I'm in disbelief and shock."
Emerson, who works as a legal secretary for a law firm nearby, was running errands in the area when she found out about the fire.
She watched as firefighters continued to rip holes into the roof of the restaurant, searching of stubborn flare-ups.
"I have to act fast because I have 100 people showing up Saturday," Emerson said.
The restaurant's event manager told her he would be contacting her, she said.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, although Stone said that investigators are focusing on the kitchen area.
Mona Shah, a spokeswoman for Prego, said a chef of the restaurant believes the fire was caused by a malfunctioning exhaust motor.
Angelica Pineda, 31, has worked as a bartender in the restaurant for years and tried to hold back tears as she watched smoke rising from the restaurant.
"Everyone was just at shock at what was happening," she said. "There was no panic. I think they were just shocked more than anything else."
Two firefighters were taken to a hospital to be treated for minor heat exhaustion, Stone said.
Orange County Register Nancy Luna contributed to this report.

As you read this, perhaps the door to Lagniappe Bistro is open. Perhaps not.
That's okay with Charles "Chaz" Ricard and his mother, Lynette Despanza. It has been 10 years since they hatched a plan to open a New Orleans-style bistro at 350 First Ave. N. At this point, an extra week or two won't make much of a difference.
This week or next, it will be fitting that Lagniappe Bistro, LB's for short, will have opened around Mother's Day.
It has been a long and tortuous road for Despanza, her son and LB's, which holds the oldest commercial work permit from the city. It has taken this long to open, they say, because of a roller coaster ride of disappointments: Lynette's divorce; the landlord trying to evict them; Charles' being hit by a car; Lynette's diagnosis of lupus and severe illness; three contractors who did nothing but walk away with their money.
"We did everything possible to keep this going," Ricard said. "Nothing ever stopped us."
On the second floor of the business is a small truffle and cigar shop named Dezi, after his mother. He surprised her with that, she says.
He sees her as the inspiration for the eatery. Her paintings adorn the walls, her New Orleans cooking is the menu, her handprints are the motif in the restrooms. The name was her idea. Lagniappe means "a little something extra" in French Creole.
Things hummed inside the 5,500-square-foot business last week. For once, it was not covered in the drywall dust that masked dozens of textures in Despanza's carnivalesque decor.
If the look is a patchwork, it is so from necessity. As contractors bailed or money dried up, they did things themselves, learning as they went. The floors go from wood to brick to acid-stained concrete to tile to marble, the walls from black to gold to red to mirrored and stenciled.
Yet if they were pressed for money, it's sometimes hard to tell. Two wooden staircases lead to the second floor. There are five dining rooms, a $25,000 elevator, a full kitchen, two smaller food areas, a dance floor and two bars.
Ricard and Despanza say they have spent about $3.5 million on the business over the years.
"It's almost everything that I wanted," said Despanza. She wanted a New Orleans-style balcony overlooking Williams Park.
They paid for it through their savings and by working, he in restaurants and as a builder, she as an artist and a medical administrator at St. Anthony's Hospital.
For years, no one could see through the newsprint-covered windows. The mysterious storefront sat there through the faltered economy like a question mark. Work was sporadic. You'd see Ricard emerging from the place covered in drywall dust; then you wouldn't see him for months.
Rick Dunn, the city's building official, said the business' long-lived permit was well known to city officials. Over the years, this newspaper published two short news items announcing that the bistro would finally open.
Neighbors had their doubts.
"I keep asking him, 'Where's my sandwich?" said Renee Davidson, manager of Williams Park Plaza Hotel.
"He's a nice guy, but I gave up on that place opening," said Melissa Griffith, co-owner of Lightning Fast Jewelry.
"I think he ought to rename the place 'Tenacious,' added her husband, David Griffith.
Still, the neighbors wish Ricard success. The street sorely needs more businesses, they say.
"I wish them luck," agreed the landlord, Paul Tauber, who settled the dispute with his tenant.
Ricard plans to keep LB's open nearly round the clock on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, dishing up, as all the other days, red beans and rice, gumbo, and Creole coffee and beignets. But will they open by today?
"I hope so," Ricard said late last week. "I'm really trying."

Rylan Palomino-Croom is a kid who loves taking
"Just so I can look at stuff, look back at stuff I saw," said the 11-year-old fifth-grader at Vallejo's Steffan Manor Elementary School.
That's why Rylan wanted to take part in the Times-Herald Generation Snaps photography project as the newspaper's 10-year-old participant (his birthday happened in the middle of
the project).
Many of Rylan's photos reflect his youth, with the camera often pointed up, or much closer to the horizon line than adult photographers.
They also show a young Vallejoan who loves his school, with images of life at Steffan Manor taking up much of Rylan's
36 exposures.
"The thing I like about this school is how much stuff they do, like the field trips, the projects, the library with the bunch of books, and it's a great school. Teachers there are very nice," Rylan said.
His photographs also show an adventurous side, walking around Mare Island and the Vallejo waterfront or going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's
Fright Fest.
There was a lot of people at Fright Fest, Rylan recalled.
"I'm not joking. We nearly got run over by this girl who was running super fast from these zombie guys scaring her," Rylan said.
Rylan's favorite picture on the roll also comes from Discovery Kingdom, one of the train on the roller coaster Boomerang caught as it went upside down through a loop.
"It's a fun ride," said Rylan, helped in the composition by his father, who called out when the train was coming so Rylan could capture the moment.
Rylan's photographs also show his fascination with machines in general and of ships in particular. Fortunately for Rylan, Vallejo's rich maritime history afforded him several chances to capture boats at the marina or relics anchored at Mare Island.
"I saw a cat there, just walking around the dock," Rylan recalled.
Rylan wants to be a mechanic when he grows up. He loves to create things with his Legos set, which is also featured in one of his photographs.
"I want to build stuff, and something I always wanted to build is a really, really big space craft," Rylan said.
Overall, Rylan said he enjoyed the Generation Snaps project and the premise behind it.
"I think it really gives people a lot of interest about how one person sees stuff different than an older person," Rylan said.

Justin Bieber charged with misdemeanor vandalism for egging his neighbor
Justin Bieber has been charged with one count of misdemeanor vandalism after allegedly egging his Calabasas, Calif., neighbor's home, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
The 20-year-old "Boyfriend" singer is set to be arraigned on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., though the D.A.'s Office has indicated he will not be present.
As TheWrap previously reported, after Bieber allegedly plastered his neighbor's home back in January, the Sheriff's Office originally recommended that the young singer be charged with a felony. It's unclear precisely why the D.A. is charging him with only a misdemeanor.
This is far from Bieber's only scrap with the law the past six months. He was arrested for DUI in Miami Beach, Fla., earlier this year and he was charged with assault in Toronto back in January after allegedly hitting a limo driver.
It's still unknown what may have prompted the alleged egging.

Endless Scroller Using Corona SDK
Last time I showed you how to create a life-meter using a beating heart with Corona SDK. This time I'm gonna show you how to do an endless scroller.
The source code can be found at https://github.com/funkyvisions/EndlessScroller
Here's a video demonstration.
This is done using the following sprite sheet.
There are normal top and bottom wall segments as well as an intro and exit segment (we don't use the exit, since this is endless). Each hump is broken up into 3 segments that are 64 units wide. See the walls.lua file for how this is done. The code pre-generates 100 wall segments, which we will play over and over to simulate an endless cavern. You can change NUM_WALLS if you want to make this longer.
Once we have all the walls generated we produce enough of them to span the width of the landscape screen (including a buffer on either side). Then we start scrolling the walls with each display frame. Once a wall reaches the left side, we remove it and add another wall to the right side, and continue this process indefinitely. If we wrap the index, then we start over at position 2 (remember we skip the intro segment).
I added a ball with a distance joint just to show that the walls have underlying physics objects that can be collided with. These are defined in the shape attribute of each segment in walls.lua. Enable physics.setDrawMode( "hybrid" ) if you want to see what they look like.
You can speed up the scrolling speed by changing WALL_SPEED. You could either do this dynamically as the game progresses or each level if your game is level based. You can also change the difficulty of the cavern by changing DIFFICULTY. This is how often a wall is generated during the pre-construction phase. Don't set this less than 3 as each wall has 3 segments and they would overlap if you went lower than that.
I hope this gives you an idea how easy it is to do a scrolling game using Corona SDK.

THE VALLEY OF ASTONISHMENT U.S. Premiere, Marlowe's TAMBURLAINE & More Set or TFANA's Second Season
Theatre for a New Audience Founding Artistic Director Jeffrey Horowitz announces the second season at Polonsky Shakespeare Center, 262 Ashland Place, Brooklyn.
The US premiere of the internationally acclaimed The Valley of Astonishment, a new work conceived and directed by Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne, features Kathryn Hunter, Marcello Magni and Jared McNeill. Previews begin September 14 for an opening September 18 and a run through October 5.
The first major New York production in 58 years of Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine, Parts I and II, edited to 3.5 hours plus a 30-minute intermission, is directed by Michael Boyd, former Artistic Director, Royal Shakespeare Company, and features John Douglas Thompson as Tamburlaine. Previews begin November 1, opening November 16, with a run through December 21.
The New York premiere of Fiasco Theater's The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare is directed by Jessie Austrian and Ben Steinfeld. This production, originally produced by Folger Theatre, Washington, D.C., begins previews April 24 for a run through May 24.
Mr. Horowitz says, "Our second season features a new play and new productions of classics by some of America's and Europe's most compelling artists. The latest work by Peter Brook and Marie-Hélène Estienne explores the human mind, building on Brook's extraordinary 1993 production of The Man Who. Michael Boyd often directs Shakespeare, but he's never staged Tamburlaine, a 400-year-old play that has much to reveal about power for today's audiences. John Douglas Thompson (Othello and Macbeth for Theatre for a New Audience), who has never played Marlowe, collaborates with him. Fiasco Theater is a young American company, whose ongoing dialogue with Shakespeare is thrilling. Through play and simplicity, they renew Shakespeare's stories in fresh ways."
After 34 years of being itinerant and mostly playing in Manhattan, Theatre for a New Audience moved to Brooklyn and opened its first permanent home, Polonsky Shakespeare Center, in October 2013. Built by The City of New York in partnership with Theatre for a New Audience and located in the Brooklyn Cultural District, Polonsky Shakespeare Center was designed by Hugh Hardy and H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture with theatre consultants Akustiks, Milton Glaser, Jean-Guy Lecat, and Theatre Projects. Housed inside the building are the Samuel H. Scripps Mainstage (299 seats) -- the first stage built for Shakespeare and classical drama in New York City since Lincoln Center's 1965 Vivian Beaumont -- and the Theodore C. Rogers Studio (50 seats).
The Inaugural Season opened with A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, directed by Julie Taymor with music by Elliot Goldenthal. The Season continued with King Lear by William Shakespeare, directed by Arin Arbus and featuring Olivier Award nominee Michael Pennington. The Season concluded with Eugène Ionesco's The Killer, in a new translation by Michael Feingold, directed by Darko Tresnjak, and featuring Michael Shannon. A diverse audience of nearly 49,000 attended the three productions, more than doubling TFANA's largest prior season.
Support for Theatre for a New Audience's Polonsky Shakespeare Center and its endowed programs has been provided through a public-private partnership. Public support for this project was provided by the City of New York through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York City Council, and the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President. Leadership private support has been provided by Cleary, Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, the Elayne P. Bernstein Education Fund, The Howard Gilman Foundation, The Irving Harris Foundation, The Polonsky Foundation, Theodore C. Rogers, and the SHS Foundation.
Principal support for Theatre for a New Audience's season and programs is provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and The SHS Foundation.
Subscriptions for Theatre for a New Audience's 2014-2015 Season are $147 for a 3-play package and are available by calling (212) 229-2819, ext. 10. Flex Passes are also available for $208 and include four tickets to be used in any combination over the 2014-2015 Season. Single tickets go on sale in August. For more information or to subscribe online, please visit www.tfana.org.
New Deal tickets for ages 30 and under or full-time students of any age are priced at $20 each and can be purchased when single tickets go on sale.
Theatre for a New Audience's New Deal Ticket Program is supported by The Macy's Foundation.

Amending articles of incorporation
Suppose you are drafting an amendment to the articles of incorporation for a corporate client. Suppose it looks like this:
FIFTH AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF RAYMAR, INC.This is the Fifth Amendment (the "Amendment") to the articles of incorporation of Raymar, Inc. (the "Articles"), a Delaware corporation, and is dated August 5, 2005.
The Articles are amended as follows:
ARTICLE 1. Section 4(b)(3) of the Articles is amended by replacing "December 31, 2005" with "December 31, 2006."
* * *
But isn't there a better way to do this--one that has less risk of confusion? And isn't it a fundamental rule of legal drafting not to use the same word to mean two things?
Couldn't we use "SECTION" instead of "ARTICLE"? Or better yet Section. Or even better, omit the term and just start with "1"?
What do you think?

The next book out of the library sale treasure box. This one will be read and then passed on to its new owner, Jackie (Ever Expanding Library)! Looks spooky doesn't it?
And finally – I am making my way to book three in the Michael Sullivan series and will then give my review of these amazing books as well as chat with author Michael Sullivan with what is to come.

You have got quite the list of books. I had a much better week this past week. The Girl she used to Be is one on my wishlist as is Columbine.
Dang girl! You always amaze me! You do so much it makes me want to take a nap! Hehe. What a great past week you had – and a huge one coming up. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Here's my list (very wee compared to yours!)
Bibliobabe's Reads – oh and I will post on Mr. Linky – always forget about him.
Sheila I'm SO excited for BEA! Now that graduation is over I'm ready for summer officially!
I'm so jealous you're off to BEA – I think I need to move to America so I can go to all the cons LOL. Looks like you've got some great books coming up 🙂 I hope you enjoy them all & I'll look forward to your reviews
I hope you get to finish the books you are working on. It always takes me longer to listen to audiobooks. I tend to listen while driving in the car so I always listen to each CD twice in case I missed something the first time around. Really the only audiobooks I listen to now are the Harry Potter books. So entertaining for longer drives.
Have a great week!
"Would you believe everything I said I was finishing last week I am still working on? " – That happens to me quite a lot of times. LOL! Those weeks, I'm usually embarrassed to post the monday meme.
Have a good week as always!
We have read a lot of the same novels. You had a great last week and I look forward to what you think of The Boneman's Daughters. I also have The Missing Element to read. Have great week of reading.
Thanks so much Sheila! I sent you an email with my choice.
I too am looking forward to your review of The Boneman's Daughter. I bought it at a library sale awhile back.
I'm hoping to participate in "It's Monday" this week, but not much has changed in my reading since last week…LOL!
I have read The Girl She Used to Be and Boneman's Daughter – I will be interested to read your thoughts on those.
Here is my Monday.
Congrats to Michelle!
Hope you have a wonderful week and I can't wait to see what you think of the Dekker book.
Wow..So many even if you so busy!Good luck and way too jealous wit so many list of books read. keep it up!
Read the Kite Runner a few years back and enjoyed it, and still want to read House Rules. Interested to see how you like both of these. I listen to my first audio last week and have been listening to it again because it was so amazing. Hope you have a great week.
i wish i can go to BEA. it seems many bloggers are going and i'm very envious. all the books you listed (except for kite runner) are new to me titles and authors. have an awesome reading week 🙂
I'm always amazed you get anything read, you are always so crazy busy but hey audiobooks are awesome for mulit-tasking LOL.
I was a bit bummed to read that Caught may have been better read. I love Harlan Coben but usually read his books, this is the first of his I'm trying on audio *sigh*. Knew I shouldn't have deviated 🙂
Happy reading this week and a big {{hug}} to you cause you're missing your mum too
Hi, Sheila! I'm looking forward to your Sullivan reviews 🙂
Happy reading! 😀
The 19th Wife, fascinating!
Busy week for you! I've got Boneman's Daughter on my stack this week as well.
I hope you are loving the Kit Runner; it is so intense, good, and amazing!
Columbine and Boneman's Daughters both look good..thinking that are going on my ever growing tbr list.
My books are posted here
as always an impressive list of book…happy reading!
I haven't read any of these books! (Or heard of them)… Well, except for KITE RUNNER! 🙂 I guess it must be a longer read than A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS which was finished in just a few hours..
Wow, Sheila – all those books and you did another bike tour, too? Pretty impressive!
I've been hearing good things about Dead End Gene Pool, and I really liked The Girl She Used to Be. I want to read House Rules, too – just not enough time for all the good books in the world!
How exciting that you're going to BEA – I've always wanted to go. Hope you enjoy it!
Have another good reading week –
Love your blog! I've never entered the 'visit 10 other Meme participant sites' before – but I did it today! Not sure what else I am suppose to tell you… lol
I have Boneman's Daughters on my TBR List and I also cannot wait to get a hold of Dead End Gene Pool. As always I bow to your reading ability lol. If i get one book done a week I am excited. and I am in no way as busy as you:) Stop by soon my friend:)
A busy week indeed. I've been hearing lots of good things about Ted Dekker so look forward to hearing your views.
Great week you had. I am currently working on my post and didn't do so great the past week.
I am going to BEA too its my first time there and in NYc. hope to see you around.
Happy Reading 🙂
I left my ten comments on various blogs. I always try to go to one that I haven't seen before! Thanks for hosting this.
I am still looking forward to what you think of the Michael Sullivan series. I didn't do so well this past week; too busy at work and with the kids.
Have a great reading week! I'm off to visit some blogs.
Awesome list! Hope you have a great week.
Natalie :0)
The Boneman's daughter looks interesting I have it on my pile to read I hope you enjoy it! Have a great reading week!
I did not have much time to read this past week. Am finally finishing IMPATIENT WITH DESIRE about the Donner Party. Have liked it so far. Went to our daughter's graduation last Friday (she got her Masters) and went without a book. That rarely happens. While looking for a place to have dinner, I found the library book sale store. Picked THE REAL WILD WEST by Michael Wallis and HER COLORADO COWBOY by Cheryl St. John, which I have wanted to read for a while. Started Cheryl's book during our one hour wait for the ceremony to begin. Finished it yesterday. It is a Harlequin Historical, so a quick read. There are some good authors in this line and I have enjoyed Cheryl St. John's books. Her stories usually have a slight twist to the heroine's backstory that make her books interesting.
The Missing Element is on my list too this week. Trying to catch up on my reviews.
I LOVE Michael J. Sullivan's books! 🙂 I can't wait to see your review!
Hi Sheila,
Visited 10 so far and found some great new blogs for an award I recently received. I LOVE THIS MEME!!
This is only my second week participating, but I've found some great blogs through this meme! Thanks for hosting it. I've visited and commented on 10 blogs today so far. And I'm loving all the comment love I'm getting at my humble little blog 🙂
I'm going to have to add so many book to my ever-growing TBR pile!
First of all, I'm so jealous your going to BEA! A couple of my friends and I are already planning for next year though. My baby will be 2 then so hopefully can spend a week with grandma or someone.
Now onto your books. I don't remember The Kite Runner even being long so that's crazy that it's taking that long to get through it on audio. The rest of your books I don't think I know anything about. The Ted Dekker one does look spooky!
I don't know how you manage to get through all these books! 😀 I'm trying to set aside more time to read, but it doesn't always work. I like to read in a nice quiet place and more often than not that tends to be in bed… Though once in a while I'll manage to get a few pages read when I'm babysitting my neice and she is napping (which doesn't happen often!).
I'm still working on books from last week too!!!
That's an impressive list!
This is my first night off from grad school (I've got 18 whole days off from school!) and I intend to fill as much time available after work on reading.
This week I have The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and House of Night Book 1.
Shaun Tan!!! I so want to read The Arrival and I'd love to get an original piece of his just to hang in my son's room. hope you have a fabulous reading week!
I've now visited and commented on 20 blogs (and what interesting blogs they are… I've found a few recommendations!), but now I think it's time I headed to bed to continue Angelology (it's 10pm here in the UK, in case anyone thought I was off to bed rather early! Hehe).
Happy reading! 🙂
Sounds like you are quite busy. Your books look good. I have read one graphic novel and I liked it. I do have a second one for review and I want to read Caught by Harlan Coben. I like his writing style and of course the Ted Dekker one looks good to…
I visited ten blogs this week and as usual checking out everyone's great blogs brightened my day. Thanks for the great meme.
Boneman's Daughter does sound truly spooky! That is one I would probably have to avoid reading at bedtime. Enjoy! 🙂
Those are some great books to be working on. 🙂 I am really looking forward to your thoughts on Michael Sullivans series. And to read your chat with Michael. Hope you have a great week!

The Risen series appeals to a very niche audience, but it's managed to garner a significant cult following. The teaser trailer for Risen 3: Titan Lords unleashes a hound from hell upon a brave knight. Where are the Baja Men when you need them?[youtube http://youtu.be/h45UZMcQv_w]
Now do yourself a favor, mute the original audio for this trailer, cue the the Baja Men video for 17 seconds in, start both videos, and enjoy.[youtube http://youtu.be/Qkuu0Lwb5EM]
If Piranha Bytes, the developer of the Risen series, really wanted to move copies of this game, they'd get the licensing rights to this song immediately and go viral with this thing. It's impossible to listen to the Baja Men and not have a good time. It's been scientifically proven.
Risen 3: Titan Lords is scheduled to release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in August 2014.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Meryl Davis and Charlie White won the compulsory dance Thursday, striking the first blow in a showdown with Olympic silver medalists and former training partners Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto that could have ramifications all the way to the Vancouver Games.
Granted, Davis and White's lead is just 0.4 points heading into today's original dance. Still, they scored an American-record 45.42 for their Golden waltz. "Last year was really a turning point for us," Davis said. "We really knew we were going to be able to put ourselves at the top someday."
Belbin and Agosto, among the world's best ice dancers for almost a decade now, adjusted to a coaching change last season and had injuries. Meanwhile, Davis and White were rising in international stature.
Davis and White won the U.S. title last year — Belbin and Agosto were out with Agosto's back injury — and missed the bronze medal at the world championships by a 0.04 points.
As reigning Olympic and world silver medalists, Belbin and Agosto will go to Vancouver as gold medal contenders. Beat them, and Davis and White will be in the mix, too.
The women's competition began late Thursday with the short program. The final is Saturday. Go to usfigureskating.org for updates.
European Championships: Evgeni Plushenko won the men's title in Tallinn, Estonia. Ice dancers Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin held on to their lead after their original dance program.

Which Elijah Combo?
Now that I've switched up my Henry combination I'm on the lookout to find a fitting middle for Elijah.
I wanted a middle that fits with the style of my other boy combinations, so I went through my list and paired up some of the more uncommon names with Elijah. I don't like popular names in the middle. My boys combos are Lucian Godfrey, Henry Marcellus, James Alaric Matthew and Sebastian Rhys.
Elijah Malcolm
Elijah Serafin
Elijah Perseus
Elijah Balthazar
Elijah Augustus
Elijah Conrad
Elijah Felipe
Elijah Roland
Elijah Neville
Elijah Truman
Elijah Rhydian
Which one goes best with my boys? Why?
Thoughts and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
Any suggestions on middles for Elijah that are similar in style to the middle names above?
For those who voted in the poll: Could you please tell why you chose that combination.

text: Thank you for the summery Iavor On the rank-2 vs rank-N issue, I can say this: * Rank-N is really no harder to implement than rank-2. The "Practical type inference.." paper gives every line of code required". The design is certainly much cleaner and less ad-hoc than GHC's old rank-2 design, which I dumped with considerable relief. * I think it'd be a pity to have an arbitrary rank-2 restriction. Rank-2 allows you to abstract over a polymorphic function. Well, it's no too long before you start wanting to abstract over a rank-2 function, and there you are. * The ability to put foralls *after* a function arrow is definitely useful, especially when type synonyms are involved. Thus type T = forall a. a->a f :: T -> T We should consider this ability part of the rank-N proposal. The "Practical type inference" paper deal smoothly with such types. GHC's rank-2 design had an arbitrary and unsatisfactory "forall-hoisting" mechanism which I hated. * For Haskell Prime we should not even consider option 3. I'm far from convinced that GHC is occupying a good point in the design space; the bug that Ashley points out (Trac #1123) is a good example. We just don't know enough about (type inference for) impredicativity. In short, Rank-N is a clear winner in my view.

So person A could have 50% ownership of company A, that does business with company B he may only have 10-20% interest in?
Also how does it look if a married couple has seperate interest, wife 10%, husband 25%, does that get viewed as one? or do they maintain there indivdiaulity?
And lets say as a business manager i consult with both for a fee? still no conflict?

State Senator George Onorato (D-Queens) Made The Following Statement In Response To Governor David Paterson's State Of The State Message To The Legislature On January 8th
"To borrow from the great author Charles Dickens, the opening day of the 2009 legislative session could easily be described as the best of times, and as the worst of times.
"It was the best of times as Governor Paterson delivered his first State of the State Message to the Legislature and as Democrats became the majority in the State Senate for the first time in more than four decades. And it was the worst of times in that we must all be mindful that our State is facing the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression, and that many hard decisions must be made in the days, weeks and months to come.
"With that said, I am confident that we will go forward to overcome these daunting fiscal challenges through shared sacrifice and a determination to build a better future for all New Yorkers. I am heartened by Governor Paterson's emphasis on balancing our budget while expanding health insurance coverage for young people and working families; helping more students afford college; reforming and improving our job creation and economic development policies; and initiating innovative energy efficiency and clean renewable energy programs.
"There isn't any question that we have tough times ahead. But by working cooperatively with the State Assembly, the Governor and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in both houses, I am hopeful that New York State will ultimately emerge, as Dickens also wrote, from the 'winter of despair,' into the 'spring of hope' as we confront these tremendous economic challenges together."

Pioneer life in the Benton Co. WA area
Political Rallies Have Changed/Jones, Lewis Debated Issues
By BURTON 0. LUM
Tri-City Pioneer
Tri-City Herald, Sunday, 29 July 1962
It is difficult for the present day voters of the Tri-City region to visualize the conditions under which the pioneer politicians waged their political campaigns. There was no radio or television. The office seeker contacted the voters in person, by mail, through the local newspapers and by political rallies.
Rallies were generally held at the school house in the evenings. The office seeker, if he had a singing voice or talent on a guitar, banjo or violin, entertained the crowd while it gathered. When he felt that all the crowd had arrived he mounted the platform and announced that everyone would sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee." He then introduced himself and gave a brief personal history stressing his abilities. He explained the improvements that he would make if elected to the office.
These meetings were open to the general public. Many times his opponents resorted, to heckling while he was speaking. Teen-age boys of the opposition would make noises on the outside to drown his remarks.
I remember a political meeting being held in Kennewick's old second school house. The office seeker possessed a rich Scandinavian acccent. When the boys became too loud he would say "poys, an empty vaggon makes the most noise." Everytime the boys would their noise he would say "there goes that empty vaggon again." He finally got the boys 'buffaloed" and the crowd gave him a hand.
I remember at another political meeting in which the speaker was "lambasting" the individual voter who was neither a Republican or a Democrat. These voters were not called independent voters in those early days. They were fence straddlers or mugwumps. A political speaker of those early days described a mug-wump as voter astride the political fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other.
Radio and television have taken away much of the effectiveness of campaign meetings. They enter private homes with their programs which often tend to influence the thoughts of the voters on the different problems. The Lincoln and Douglas debate of 1856 influenced the pioneer-political-campaign technique for many years.
One of the greatest political debates in the Washington's pioneers' history was the James Hamilton Lewis and Wesley L. Jones political debate in the early 1890s. Jim Ham Lewis as he was called arose to fame by supporting the rights of the marine employes in their conflicts with their employers in the Puget Sound area. He was striking in his personal appearance. He wore a dandy beard that was almost pink in color. He had a very powerful voice and was a great orator. He was from the South and rabid Democrat. He challenged the Washington State Republican headquarters for an opponent to oppose him in a statewide debate on the political issues of the upcoming campaign.
The Republican United States senators and congressmen did not care to tangle with him in debate. Wesley L. Jones, a mild mannered young attorney of Yakima, who had never held a higher office than justice of peace, was appointed to oppose him. Jones at this time was a tall angular young man and somewhat resembled Abe Lincoln in physique and whose voice was quite similar to Lincoln's. He was known as "Yakima Jones" to keep him from being confused with "No God Jones" who was campaigning on an atheist platform. In the early stages of the Lewis-Jones debate Lewis scored heavily against his younger opponent, but Yakima Jones was cutting his forensic eye teeth. Soon the popular tide of the contest turned toward "Yakima Jones." At the conclusion of the debate, James Hamilton Lewis left for Chicago and became quite a politician there. "Yakima Jones" had become a very popular individual and was later elected to Congress; then to the United States Senate, a position he held for many years. He was very popular in Washington, D.C. He was liked and respected by both parties; in fact, one of his closest personal friends was Democratic Sen. Bankhead, father of Tallulah Bankhead. Sen. Wesley L. Jones was one of the most king and friendly men that I every knew.

Printed letters, Oct. 19, 2011
The Daily Sentinel's Oct. 5 article about the environmental groups opposing energy development on the Roan Plateau was terribly one-sided, so one-sided that not once did the writer use the word that best describes why the Roan should be developed: jobs.
Western Colorado is facing the worst employment situation in the nation, and the writer could not even manage to mention that drilling on the Roan would result in hundreds of new jobs for many years? It is outrageous that environmental groups are blocking access to this vast energy resource.
The environmentalists have comfortable jobs funded by liberal donors. It is sad that they make their living opposing energy projects like the Roan that would result in jobs for the rest of us.

Drilling on Roan Plateau will lead to degradation
We were surprised by The Daily Sentinel's reporting of claims by energy company Bill Barrett Corp. in the Oct. 8 story on the Roan Plateau. Barrett official Duane Zavadil's comments contained a number of errors about proposed gas development on the Roan Plateau.
First, Mr. Zavadil got the name of the judge wrong. U.S. District Court Judge Krieger will be deciding the pending lawsuit — not Magistrate Judge Mix.
More importantly, the company's environmental claims don't pass the straight-face test.
The Roan Plateau has been recognized as one of the four most biologically rich areas in Colorado, of the same caliber as our state's national parks and monuments.
When approving the Bush administration's drilling plan for the Roan in 2008, even BLM staff predicted "substantial degradation" of the area. BLM's environmental impact statement anticipated that drilling would cause irreversible losses of native trout, wilderness-quality lands, and rare species that depend on the Roan.
That forecast turned out to be only the tip of the iceberg. Shortly after acquiring the leases, Barrett announced plans to possibly drill more than 3,000 wells atop the Roan — 15 times more than BLM had considered.
That intensity of drilling will turn the Roan into an industrial zone and jeopardize the hunting, angling and recreation that sustain western Colorado's economy when energy booms inevitably go bust.
Barrett also dredges up the false choice between economic growth and environmental protection. While we don't know how the court case will be resolved, we do know that cancellation of Barrett's leases can be structured in a way that won't hurt the state's finances.
Even without Barrett's leases, BLM projects that thousands more wells will be drilled in the area surrounding the Roan over the next 20 years. That makes it even more important to protect islands of wildlife, rare plants and undisturbed backcountry like the Roan Plateau.

Palisade ballot measures offers dilemma for voters
In reading the sample ballot, trying to figure out the options of Palisade's two ballot issues, 2A and 2B, I have a dilemma.
Issue 2A is for a proposed transaction fee of $5 upon each transaction for purchase of medical marijuana items sold in the only dispensary remaining in Mesa County. Everyone agrees the additional levy is warranted. Of course most will vote "Yes" on 2A for the sake of helping our struggling coffers. Yes?
The second issue is 2B, whether to keep the only marijuana dispensary left in Mesa County open. "Yes" votes will remove it once and for all. "No" votes will keep it as a viable business in Palisade and will require town population to reach 4,000 before a second dispensary can be established.
Here's my dilemma. Marijuana cardholders would be happy to keep the dispensary open. And marijuana transaction fees could generate considerable revenue for the Palisade general fund.
Issue 2A could be viewed as a discriminatory tax imposed upon a select group and product. This tax doesn't apply for aspirin or cold medicines at the grocery store, or prescriptions at the pharmacy for that matter. It appears those who vote "No" on 2B (keeping the dispensary) will also vote "No" on 2A (tax each transaction) in order to keep the costs down. Yes?
The town administration is hoping 2A will pass, no matter what 2B does? A "No" vote on both 2A and 2B means the dispensary and patients win and the town coffers remain empty of any funds from these transactions. A "Yes" on 2B means the town coffers also stays empty because the dispensary is removed. Guess it's simply a matter of money over image in Palisade. See my dilemma.
Sentinel missed chance to give PERA facts
On Oct. 5, I attended the annual shareholder meeting of Colorado PERA at the Two Rivers Convention Center. I was disappointed that fewer than 30 people attended, no Daily Sentinel reporter was there and that we were unable to arrange a meeting with the Sentinel editorial board.
My concern is why the Sentinel printed an article recently by the state treasurer, demonizing PERA, and did not take an opportunity to investigate the whole story, especially when it would have taken so little effort.
PERA membership totals over 478,000, with monthly pay out to retirees of $280 million. Last year, PERA paid out $3.16 billion to over 90,000 retirees, of which the average benefit was $2,900 per month.
In Mesa County alone, PERA is responsible for providing over $96 million to over 3,000 retirees a year.
For every dollar that is contributed by PERA members, $3.48 is returned to the economy at a cost of less than one half of one percent. That is a powerful economic force for Colorado and Mesa County. I think news of that magnitude would be of interest to the Sentinel. I also think it would be of great interest to every business in Mesa County as well as the Chamber of Commerce.
State Treasurer Walker Stapleton has been using news outlets around the state to strike fear in the taxpayers, with a political agenda of dividing the working middle class. Here was an opportunity to discover the facts about PERA and, sadly, it was lost.
Story on West End confused about minerals
The Daily Sentinel's Oct. 8 article, "Proposed reservoirs to provide for boom in metal-rich West End" was misleading. It seemed to confuse Montrose County's West End with Colorado's Western Slope, of which Jim Burnell of Colorado Geological Survey spoke.
The Sentinel predicted the West End might "become the epicenter of rare-earth mineral production in the United States within 50 years," for its vanadium, selenium, zinc, iron, tellurium, gold, copper, silver and uranium. Not one of these is a rare-earth element. Of them, only significant mineable quantities of vanadium and uranium are found in Montrose County. The others all occur in a different geologic settings in the San Juan Mountains.
The Sentinel suggested the elements listed are nine of the rarest metals found on Earth. Iron is the fourth most abundant element in Earth's crust, and the most abundant for the entire Earth. Only tellurium and gold are among the nine rarest in Earth's crust.
The Sentinel omitted Jim Burnell's mention of gallium, germanium and indium, also found in the silver-lead-zinc ores of the San Juan Mountains. None is a rare-earth mineral nor among the nine rarest metals.
Isn't anticipating that Montrose County's West End will benefit from future mining of anything but uranium and vanadium putting the cart before the horse? Would Telluride welcome reopening the mines?
If some of the water is for those mines, taking reservoir sites might be a bit hasty. If the water is wanted only for mining uranium and vanadium, then that should be made clear.
I sincerely hope that the people deciding about future reservoirs and land-taking in western Montrose County have good information. Such decisions should not be lightly made, and should not be based on unrealistic anticipation and misinformation.

Views can be considered as virtual table. Generally speaking, a table has a set of definition, and it physically stores the data. A view also has a set of definitions, which is build on top of tables or other views, and it does not physically store the data. View is a pre-written query that is stored on the database. A view consists of a select statement, and when you run the view, you see the results of it like you would when opening a table. A view consists of rows with columns, and you can retrieve data from a view. The fields in the view's virtual table are the fields of one or more real tables in the database. You can use views to join two tables in your database. You can also use views as a security mechanism to restrict the data available to end users. A view is created by joining one or more tables.
Create View < [View Name]> As
< [Select statement form table]> with where clause <optional>
create view testview as
select * from userlogininfo
drop view testview
There are many types of view in SQL Server in which some important view is given as follows:
Combining data from one or more tables through a standard view lets you satisfy most of the benefits of using views. These include focusing on specific data and simplifying data manipulation.
An indexed view is a view that has been materialized. This means it has been computed and stored. You index a view by creating a unique clustered index on it. Indexed views dramatically improve the performance of some types of queries. Indexed views work best for queries that aggregate many rows. They are not well-suited for underlying data sets that are frequently updated.
A partitioned view joins horizontally partitioned data from a set of member tables across one or more servers.
You need to have a goal in mind when creating a view. There are a number of scenarios where you will want to look for a view as a solution.
· To hide the complexity of the underlying database schema, or customize the data and schema for a set of users.
· To control access to rows and columns of data.
· To aggregate data for performance.

At El Alamein Rommel was realising that the British onslaught could not be resisted. His own diminishing forces were further weakened by a 'critical' shortage of ammunition and petrol. Almost every ship in Tobruk harbour had been bombed, and the British had 'complete command' of the sea and air in the area behind the battlefield.
Rommel was already beginning to extricate his troops with a view to making a fighting retreat. He assessed the situation in the daily note he sent to his wife:
3rd November 1942
Dearest Lu,
The battle is going very heavily against us. We're simply being crushed by the enemy weight. I've made an attempt to salvage part of the army. I wonder if it will succeed. At night I lie open-eyed, racking my brains for a way out of this plight for my poor troops.
We are facing very difficult days, perhaps the most difficult that a man can undergo. The dead are lucky, it's all over for them.
I think of you constantly with heartfelt love and gratitude. Perhaps all will yet be well and we shall see each other again.
As the day went on things got worse:
At nine in the morning I drove east along the coast road as far as Forward HQ. Large numbers of vehicles, mainly Italian, were jammed up on the road, but surprisingly there were no British fighter-bombers about.
At about 10.00 hours General von Thoma and Colonel Bayerlein reported that the British were lying in a semicircle in front of the Afrika Korps, which still possessed 30 serviceable tanks.
The British were making only probing and local attacks and appeared to be reorganising and supplying their formations. The moment seemed propitious, and I gave orders for part of the Italian formations to march off.
Despite our frequent reminders, the vehicles promised by Barbassetti had still not arrived, and so the Italians had to march. Dense columns of vehicles were already streaming westwards. The Italian infantry marched off and soon the road was full of traffic. But the British soon spotted our move and attacked the coast road with about 200 Fighter-bombers. Their bomber squadrons were also extremely active that day.
The Afrika Korps alone was attacked no less than eleven times during the morning by strong formations of bombers.
At about midday I returned to my command post, only just escaping, by some frantic driving, a carpet of bombs laid by 18 British aircraft. At 13.30 hours an order arrived from the Fuehrer.
See The Rommel Papers .
Hitler was not a man who believed in tactical or strategic retreats, as many in the Wehrmacht would begin to discover as the tide of war began to turn against the Germans.
To Field Marshal Rommel
It is with trusting confidence in your leadership and the courage of the German-Italian troops under your command that the German people and I are following the heroic struggle in Egypt.
In the situation in which you find yourself there can be no other thought but to stand fast, yield not a yard of ground and throw every gun and every man into the battle. Considerable air force reinforcements are being sent to C.in C. South.
The Duce and the Commando Supremo are also making the utmost efforts to send you the means to continue the fight. Your enemy, despite his superiority, must also be at the end of his strength.
It would not be the first time in history that a strong will has triumphed over the bigger battalions. As to your troops, you can show them no other road than that to victory or death.
Adolf Hitler
Rommel was to describe this as an 'impossible order' – he was 'completely stunned' by it. From now on he was to find his freedom of movement and decision making constantly curtailed by Hitler. If he wanted to preserve his Army he would have to find ways to circumvent Hitler in the future.

What does IQ stand for?
IQ is an abbreviation for the term intelligence quotient. The work of Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard University, has introduced the widely-accepted theory of multiple intelligences (or abilities as some critics argue). These intelligences are: Spatial; Linguistic; Logical-mathematical; Bodily-kinesthetic; Musical; Interpersonal; Intrapersonal and Naturalistic.

According Linda S. Gottfredson, one of the foremost champions of IQ as a single measure, Gardner's different types of intelligences all rely on a singular type of intelligence, referred to as general intelligence or the g-factor.

What is an IQ?
In its most simple form, an IQ is a number from 0 to 200+ that rates a person's cognitive ability in comparison to the general population. Children's IQ scores also take age into account, so their IQ score is in comparison to their same-age peers as opposed to the population as a whole.

How is IQ determined?
The formula for determining IQ can best be described as:

IQ= 100 x Mental Age /Chronological Age

While determining chronological age simply relies on a child's birth-date, mental age is determined by educational tests. While the standard test for IQ used to be the Standford-Binet, now the most widely used and accepted tests are the Wechsler Scales.

There are two versions for children: Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, 3rd ed. and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 4th ed. The WPPSI-III is used for children up to 5 years, 11 months of age and the WISC-IV is for children ages 6 to sixteen.

What do the numbers mean?
IQ scores are often represented as a bell curve, with 100 being right in the middle of the curve. However, since most IQ testing has a standard deviation of 15 points in either direction, a score between 85 and 115 denotes average intelligence.

Above 130 typically denotes exceptional intelligence, while a score of 70 or below falls into the range of mental retardation.

It's important to note that mental retardation can range from mild to moderate, so an IQ score doesn't always tell the whole story. The same can be said for average or above intelligence, too.

What's a bell curve?
A bell curve is named for the made when normal distribution is mapped out. Basically, a bell curve is a graph that slopes upward into a rounded mountain-like shape and then slopes downward on the other side. The middle of the mound is the mean value (the average),to the left are the numbers that fall on the low side of average and to the right are the numbers that fall on the high side. The shape clearly illustrates that the majority falls in the middle.

What do IQ tests measure?
The end result of an IG test is the g-factor, or the number that gives a sense of what a person's ability is to learn. Unlike achievement tests  IQ tests don't measure knowledge, they measure problem-solving skills and how well a person can understand things. The Weschler Scales measure this by testing four main indexes:

 Verbal Comprehension: Measures a child's understanding of language, including vocabulary,auditory memory and following verbal directions.

 Perceptual Reasoning:  Measures a child's ability to look at a problem, use visual -motor and spatial skills to organize and test a solution.

 Working Memory: At one point known as Freedom from Distractibility, this measures a child's ability to take in, store and memorize new information and then concentrate to use that information to complete a task or other problem-solving process.

 Processing Speed: Measures how quickly and accurately a child is able to scan information presented visually and see differences between or put that information in some sort of order.

How stable is an IQ score and can it change?
The stability of an IQ score relies on many factors. For the most part, the older a child is when the test is given, the more reliable the score and the more likely it will stay the same over time.

When IQ tests are given at the preschool level, they are much less predictive of a child's IQ at the age of 10, for example. In that regard, yes, an IQ score can change over time. An IQ score is also somewhat dependent on a child's ability to participate in the testing, either because of refusal or developmental ability to understand what is being asked of her.

Lena Dunham: 'We can't have our generation's Patti Smith moving to Tampa'
Hey, look at this! Finally, a reason for all of us who don't get HBO to care about the show Girls!
Via Richard Danielson comes news that Girls creator and star Lena Dunham dissed Tampa during a political speech this week, saying recent college graduates are "struggling to find jobs and pay the rent and if they struggle for too long, they're leaving New York" for greener pastures, "even Tampa."
"We can't have our generation's Patti Smith moving to Tampa. That's going to seriously f--- our s--- up."
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn has already weighed in, inviting both Patti Smith and Lena Dunham to Tampa "anytime they want to come."
To that, we'd just like to add: Patti Smith HAS come to Tampa before, and the results were pretty memorable.
Back in 1977, the fiery punk-poet was opening for Bob Seger at Tampa's Curtis Hixon Hall when she took a tumble off the stage, cracking two neck vertebrae and forcing her to stop performing for months. During her recovery, she recorded Because The Night, a song written by Bruce Springsteen and later covered by 10,000 Maniacs. It has proven to be Smith's most enduring hit; this year, Garbage and Screaming Females covered the song for a Record Store Day 10-inch. Your humble Soundcheck editor bought a copy at Daddy Kool Records.
So hey, if Lena's generation's Patti Smith ends up moving to Tampa, we'd be all for that -- especially if it results in more songs like Because The Night.

She pinches him. "Clearly you're under the influence of something horrid and I must get you to the hospital wing."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:06 am (UTC)
He yelps and laughs, shameless. "What? Don't you want to be the perfect little wife? I expect one child every year, and the first five have to be boys. You know how I always wanted sons of my own, dearest."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:08 am (UTC)
"You're incorrigible, my love." She laughs, petting his hair again. But then she sobers. "Oh God. Everyone's going to expect us to have children."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:09 am (UTC)
"...Fuck." He looks absolutely horrified by the thought.
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:11 am (UTC)
"We can put them off for a few years, of course, but sooner or later..." She scowls. "I have an idea."

"Can we go somewhere we're a little less likely to be overheard?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:17 am (UTC)
He blinks, then climbs to his feet and offers his hand with a grin. "If you'll follow me, my lady?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:18 am (UTC)
She grins a bit, and takes his hand, getting up. "Of course. Lead on, MacDuff."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:29 am (UTC)
He grins and leads her out of the common room and down the hall, and into a small, abandoned room. He flops down on a pile of cushions in the corner (probably put there by himself) and grins. "Now, what was your idea, lovely?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:30 am (UTC)
"Sooner or later, we're going to have to have children." She curls up next to him, resting her head in his lap. "But nobody's going to do a paternity test to check if they're yours, are they?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:32 am (UTC)
Blinkblink. Grin. "I do love the way you think, dearest. So devious. Why don't you plot more often, hmm?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:36 am (UTC)
"I realise Professor Crane has brown hair and you and I do not, but there's a spell that'll permanently change hair colour and no one will be any the wiser." She pats his thigh familiarly. "And I don't plot because I so rarely need to."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:40 am (UTC)
"That's because you have me to do it for you, lovely." he grins. "I plot enough for ten people." He starts petting her hair, tangling and untangling his fingers. "Crane will be a good family friend, I think. Yes, and...a business partner, perhaps. What kind of business do you think I should start, dearest? I can't very well sit around and let you be the breadwinner, can I?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:44 am (UTC)
"If you want him to be a business partner, then I would suggest something to do with potions." She thinks. "You wouldn't have to actually do it yourself, of course...but start a business developing new and innovative potions." She considers it. "And I think we ought to keep a house in Hogsmeade. Let's build one. Then, you see, we can live in Scotland, out of the way, and Apparate to London for your business and socialising, and I can get to Hogwarts to work and see Professor Crane."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:48 am (UTC)
"Brilliant! I'll be the investor, and he can be the inventive genius type!" he grins, actually getting a bit excited. "I've quite the contacts already, as well. Half the most influential businessmen in the wizarding world have at least one child here right now."
He pauses for a moment, then grins. "I'll need a personal assistant, I suppose. And we wouldn't want anyone to think I'm being unfaithful to my devoted wife, so a girl just simply wouldn't do."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:50 am (UTC)
"Do remember he's a professor at Hogwarts, darling, and there is only so much he can do on top of that. Hire lots of people to be creative geniuses." She twirls her hair around her finger, laughing. "You are wicked, my darling. Have you someone in mind, then?"
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:57 am (UTC)
"Of course, dear. I'll speak to the potions mistress, see if she has any promising students in need of employment once they finish their NEWTs."
He snorts, firmly ignoring that most faint of flushes on his cheeks. "Of course not. As though anyone in this school aside from you were worth my time."
Posted at: January 12th, 2006 04:59 am (UTC)
"Get your father or someone to start building the business now, so that you have it there when you leave Hogwarts," she says, nodding firmly.
"Well, how am I to know all you do during the holidays?"
