Uncertainty for Haitians in Tijuana
Hundreds of Haitians in Tijuana preparing to present themselves to U.S. officials at the San Ysidro Port of Entry face an unpleasant surprise: the probability of detention — and eventual deportation to their impoverished country — under a new policy announced this week by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
A day after the changes went into effect, the Haitian men who gathered in small groups on Friday morning outside the Desayunador Salesiano Padre Chava, a shelter and soup kitchen, said they had heard nothing, and asked anxiously for details.
"I don't believe it," Miterson Derisseau, a 25-year-old tile-setter from Port-au-Prince said in French.
"Did Obama's party decide this? He has a generous heart, he cannot deport us to our country, " added Derisseau, who hopes to join his sister in Boston.
Announced Thursday by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, the changes entail the resumption of regular, non-criminal deportations to Haiti, more than six years after these were suspended on the heels of the country's 2010 earthquake.
"The situation in Haiti has improved sufficiently to permit the U.S. government to remove Haitian nationals on a more regular basis," Johnson said in a statement.
Haitians without visas now face the same treatment as most foreigners who show up at the border without permission to enter the United States: detention and deportation, unless they express fear of persecution upon being sent back.
The changes respond to an unprecedented and unexpected flow of Haitians to the San Diego border, 4,346 in the first 11 months of the current fiscal year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection figures released Friday — out of a total of 4,844 nationwide. Last year's total for San Diego was 315, while the national total was 795.
In congressional testimony on Thursday in Washington, D.C., the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Sarah Saldaña, called it "an emergency situation," and said she had learned of "40,000 Haitians who are en route to the United States."
Most of the Haitians in Tijuana have come by land from Brazil, where they moved after the 2010 earthquake to find work, but found survival increasingly difficult as the South American country has suffered a severe economic downturn.
The Haitians usually obtain safe passage through Mexico with a document called "oficio de salida" that allows them in the country for a limited period, usually about 30 days, enough time to make it to the U.S. border.
Until this week's changes, most Haitians presenting themselves at the San Diego border were allowed into the United States under humanitarian parole, and generally released with notices to appear before an immigration court at a later date.
On Thursday, the reception changed dramatically, as undocumented Haitians became subject to a fast-track process called Expedited Removal that entails detention.
It is unclear how soon the newly announced routine, non-criminal deportations to Haiti would take place, said Faye Hipsman, an analyst with the Washington, D.C.-based Migration Policy Institute.
"The big factor is cooperation with Haiti," Hipsman said. "My understanding is that this was a unilateral decision made by DHS," she said, adding that the Haitian government has yet to publicly respond.
Many of the Haitians who have crossed to San Diego in recent months have been making their way to established Haitian communities in New York City and Miami, where activists have been closely following news of the Haitians in Tijuana. Marleine Bastien, executive director of Haitian Women of Miami, was part of a group that traveled to border to meet with Haitians in Tijuana and San Diego.
"We're talking about people who have been on a three and four month journey, who have been subjected to the worst kind of abuse, physical, sexual abuse," said Bastien, who has been collaborating with members of the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium.
With the changes in policy, "first of all they need to apprised of their rights," Bastien said. "They have the basic rights of due process."
A Mexican immigration official estimated earlier this week that 800 to 1,110 Haitians are currently in Baja California preparing to cross to the United States, mostly through San Ysidro but with a smaller number through Calexico. But with the prospect of deportation, some may choose not to show up at the border on their appointed day, migrant advocates said.
With the new policy, "I would guess most Haitians would not wish to be detained," and could end up stranded at the border, said Steve Forester, immigration policy coordinator at the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti. The country "is in no condition, post earthquake and given extremely difficult economic and other conditions there to be receiving an influx of people," he said.
"I think they're probably not going to stay in Mexico," said Maureen Meyer, senior associate for Mexico and migrant rights at the Washington Office on Latin America. "What they may end up doing is what Central Americans do, try to avoid detection and get into the United States regardless."
Tijuana government officials have worked to distance themselves from the situation, saying that while the situation is cause for concern, the Haitian migrant issue is a federal matter, not a municipal one. Requests for interviews went unanswered this week.
As they have attempted to serve the rising numbers of Haitian migrants, Tijuana's four main shelters have found themselves overwhelmed. Of 2,823 people receiving shelter at the Padre Chava center since May 27, a total of 1,831 have been Haitians, the center reported Friday.
News of the new policy had yet to fully hit on Friday morning among the Haitians staying at the shelter. And the few who had an inkling of the changes remained undeterred, said Margarita Andonaegui, the shelter's administrator.
"Up to now, everyone has decided to go ahead," and keep their appointments with U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. "Only one person asked me, 'What do you recommend?'"

This Sunday in Brampton is what I look forward to most each summer; thankfully we had some summer weather. I didn't get as many shots as I should have, but between spending hours detailing my car and trying to avoid excessive sun; it didn't happen. I've been following this car online for some time now; it all started with wheels that didn't fit…they do now.
Lu's TT…now with Recaros, as if I didn't like it enough before.
Every year there are more and more B5's at this show; this makes me happy.

I urge you to seek a second opinion about your friend's pain symptoms. If his doctor is unwilling to explore treatment options to treat your friend's pain then that is unacceptable.
Radiation is one of the causes of adhesions (scar tissue). You can read more about treatment options for adhesions here . Your friend does have options and the situation is not hopeless. It is possible for him to possibly find relief and to improve his current condition. In order to do that, he needs to stay the course and push for answers from medical professionals.
In the meantime, here are some tips that your friend can use to manage and cope with his chronic pain.

The day before the procedure only drink clear liquids, eat jello (lemon lime or orange), coffee or tea (without milk, cream or non-dairy creamer), chicken broth, soft drinks (orange, Sprite, 7-up, ginger ale, etc.). My physician provided me with an approved menu of what I could have that day. No alcoholic beverages.
The physician prescribed 1 10oz bottle of magnesium citrate which could be purchased over the counter. You drink this liquid which tasted like really sweet 7-up at 2 p.m. At 3 p.m., I took 1 prepopik packet which is in powder form, and I mixed it with 5 oz of water. The powdered drink wasn't bad. After that, I drank 5 8oz glasses of anything clear (I drank green tea) but you can have any of the above drinks listed above. (Your physician can provide you with an approved list of what is acceptable.)
At 8 p.m. I drank another prepopik pack which I mixed again with 5 oz of water. After that, I drank another 3 8 oz glasses of liquid. No drinking of any kind after midnight. Not even water.
I was really worried about not eating all day and having to drink the gallon of liquid everyone talks about. I did eat jello so that was fine (lost 4 pounds!) and this new stuff allowed me to drink what I wanted as long as it was clear. (Again, no alcohol.)
My sister had a colonoscopy two years ago, and she was prescribed a different method. Definitely ask your doctor about the magnesium citrate and the Prepopik. This method was so easy.View Thread

Despite the claim of so-called green energy being environment-friendly, the world's largest solar energy farm is actually burning our feathered friends unlucky enough to wing overhead, as reported by The Independent of London, UK on Feb. 16, 2014, and Fox News on Feb. 15, 2014.
Hundreds of thousands of mirrors comprise the five square miles worth of Mojave Desert that is the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System located just on the Nevada side of the Nevada-California state line.
After years of jumping though legal and regulatory loopholes ranging from the relocation of desert tortoises to formally assessing the impact of the solar farm on desert plants, the $2.2 billion green energy showcase finally opened for business late last week, much to the chagrin of more than a few environmentalists.
Time for the bad pun …
Without even making it to the end of the weekend, Ivanpah is already taking heat for damaging the environment.
With the power plant's quarter of a million garage-door sized mirrors using the sun's power, the mirrors are aimed at 459-foot water towers to produce steam power, which in turn, drives the turbines which produce upwards of 400 megawatts — enough power for 140,000 homes.
With lead having a melting point of 621.5 °F, avian advocates are accusing Ivanpah's 350,000 mirrors of creating a 1,000 °F "thermal flux" aimed at the water towers, effectively roasting birds in mid-air.
BrightSource Energy, one of the three owners is the solar farm, has reported "finding dozens of dead birds at the plant over the past several months, with some having singed or burned feathers, according to federal biologists and documents filed with the California Energy Commission."
In keeping with typical state and federal regulators overseeing the complaints, a two-year study of the Ivanpah plant's effects on birds is underway.

One of the biggest mistakes one can make as a blogger, it seems, is failing to plan ahead. Or actually, this is considered [one of] life's biggest mistake(s): Fail to plan, plan to fail. Following this logic today's post shouldn't go live as yes, I didn't schedule my blog posts ahead of time on the weekend. Assuming I'd have a few hours to finish them in the upcoming days. Well, we're here and this clearly didn't work out. In keeping with my statement of honesty I'll admit I contemplated skipping blog posts – the link lovin' aside – for another week. Not because I hadn't been looking forward to returning. Rather, this week unexpectedly turned out to be a mentally draining one and work busier than the past. Yet I know blogging is a source of great joy in my life I don't want to go without for longer [read: as cheesy as it sounds I missed you guys]. While not with any of the posts I'd planned to publish this week I'm linking up with Amanda to get some random thoughts rolling – it's been a while.
Is anybody else always seeking patterns or themes in what's going through their mind? Well, at least the parts that end up written down? As I wrote this post I noticed that tendency again. I can't deny being slightly chaotic in real life but my posts or letters need structure. Selective OCD? Anyway, the overarching theme of today's thoughts turned out to be. .. decisions. Those I've already made, those I'm contemplating and a few that aren't even to be questioned. You'll see what I mean in a second …
- So: did you catch the news of the third Bridget Jones movie, "Bridget Jones Baby", being released? I'm not sure how I missed this before but after watching the trailer [three times] I know I need to watch it. If you're like me and haven't heard of the movie before: Patrick Demsey aka McDreamy is starring in it. Now if that alone isn't reason enough to watch it. .. Fun fact, though: I actually wasn't a fan of Grey's Anatomy. But when it comes to hot guys Patrick Demsey still makes the list for me. #definitelydreamy
2. Hashtags are what leads to a second thought that's been on my mind for a while already: Instagram. Or rather: Instabots. Why on earth some people pay for commenting robots is beyond me [yes, I know it's in hopes of growing their number of followers but I still find it ridiculous – it's not all about the numbers]. actually, Here's the deal and where decisions come in again: all of us with Instagram accounts will know the kind of automated comments I'm talking about. 'Cool', 'awesome profile', 'keep up the great work!' Or just a bunch of random emoticons. How do you react to them? Maybe there's a blogger's guide to handling these in style and not look like either a fool or an ignorant jerk. But I simply ignore them and respond to genuine, real person comments only. My actual point here, though, are the many accounts of people who don't seem to know the truth behind the [usually bigger] accounts that tell they 'loved [their] feeds' or let them know 'you rarely see such great accounts'. And reply to those in an at times overjoyed manner. Okay, I think you might have caught my drift here. The question is: would you tell those people about the automatism behind the comments? Maybe it's just me but I feel bad for those people being fooled.
3. Foolish – that would be me for eating chocolate at work. Why? Because it's been more than once somebody noticed a little crumb or smudge of the dark deliciousness adorning my lips or chin. Learn from my mistake: always (!) look into the mirror after you ate chocolate. Because there's no decision to make about whether or not to eat chocolate. Or else people like my colleague today might assume you'd hurt yourself without noticing. Nope, no blood there. Just a wild harmless little chocolate addiction.
4. Another decision I've been pondering? Whether or not to get a Netflix account for December only. The reason: Gilmore Girls!! I'm just a little [too] excited to see Rory and Lorelai – and all the others, obviously – again. So: should I make that investment? If not I'd have to hope for the episodes to air in free TV at some point but that wait … [read: it's hardly a decision anymore – unless our internet connection stays flunky because interrupted movie streaming tales away from the pleasure]. Are you going to [unless you already have a Netflix account, obviously]?
Seeing as I'm writing this very last minute on Wednesday night and staying up late to blog is a decision I'd be wise not to make I'll finish here. Not without wishing you a happy Thursday, though!
Happiness inducing today: My sister continually texting me pictures of little P. – he's on his first beach vacation and it's crazy adorable [sorry, aunt mode on].

That Dragon, Debt: How to Give Yourself a Break as You Conquer the Beast
I am a defeated knight––noble in my essence (or so I feel), but waylaid and shrunken down while fighting a beast that no man could possibly face undaunted. The beast spits fire, inundates me with dust from its mighty, flapping wings, and seems to pull the very ground from underneath me. I cower behind my shield and do what I can to battle the beast back, but at best I can manage a draw in any of our fights. And day by day, the beast gains more ground. Or that's how I feel. The beast is debt. Random sums of money are my outmatched weapons. And despite my lobbing those missiles as hard and direct as I can, I

What to Do When Your Craft Doesn't Pay (Yet)
Congratulations, you found a craft that calls to you!
You dove down into the rabbit hole to see how deep it goes, and in your pursuit of excellence, you've gone pro—harnessing those hours spent doing something else to make a living, transferring them into your trade. The only problem: quitting your day job suddenly means the weight of your income rests squarely on your craft's shoulders, and it's rare to make a decent wage as a beginner.
The good news is that no time spent in your craft is wasted, so even while you're hustling and just barely making it, you can build some really valuable resources that will provide immense payoffs later.
Read on for a modest proposal of what to do when the wider world doesn't yet recognize the value of your work!

This is the Best 79¢ You Can Spend on Your DIY Projects
Earlier this week, I was asked to be interviewed about getting started in making things, and the conversation turned towards the best tools for the money. The guy asked me what I think the best thing to invest in, and we naturally discussed how, once you have all the tools you need, you tend to think the things that support your workflow are more important that the cool-looking trappings of the woodworker. Like, how my favorite power tool is actually my two horsepower dust collector on its own circuit, because that's the machine I use on every single process. Or how I'd rather have an inexpensive Japanese dozuki saw and a really nice mechanical pencil and Starrett combination square vs. low grade measuring and marking tools and a fancy dovetail saw. (Though, to be fair, I do have both.)
But, it got me thinking about the truly best value in woodworking, the craft process, etc. Like what's something that's entirely inexpensive yet you use on every single project?

Weekend Project: How to Make a Ring from a Quarter
The coin ring is an internet DIY classic. I remember seeing an old video (on Makezine, perhaps?) on creating a nickle ring way back in the early days of the DIY and craft blogosphere. Like, 2006.
But, most tutorials simply harvest the coin as raw material, banging it and beating it until it looks like any piece of cool-colored metal. These pieces by Nicholas Heckaman, however, fully embrace the ring's origin, showing off that recognizable texture and type, giving the ring plenty of personality.

They are the go-to picks that I get and leave happy every time. But what about the joints too far away to make a call and grab what you want when the urge hits?

Best Value in Booze: What's the Best Gin under $20?
There are times to try new things. Times to taste different flavors, experiment with products, seek out something you've never encountered before...
And sometimes, you just want to know what the best option is. The easy choice. The go-to. The everyday variety you know will work when you need it, and rely on every time.
Now that it's officially summer, let's apply that search to a great bottle of gin. Gin is a particularly diverse spirit. Besides Scotch whisky, I can't think of one that has a broader spectrum of flavors. And different bottles will showcase the distiller's creativity and play better with certain ingredients. But there is one bottle that I recommend for almost any cocktail that calls for London Dry Gin; the thing I would take to a party or use in a punch or batch drink for a big group.

I agree with the idea that it promotes a uniqueness that would be easily identified with NZ. Think most people around the world would look at the NZ flag and think of Australia's one - unsurprisingly. It's a bit too similar I believe.
It's not that I think history should be forgotten/ignored or isn't relevant, but that the current flag might not be so representative of the New Zealand of today?
Any thoughts?

Beylerbeyi Palace
Beylerbeyi Palace was thought to serve as a summer residence of Ottoman sultans and a state guest house to entertain the foreign heads of state and sovereigns and it was constructed on demand of the sultan of the period, Sultan Abdülaziz (1861 – 1876). Construction of the palace was commenced on 6 August 1863 and it was formally opened to usage on 21 April 1865, Friday. Serkiz Bey (Balyan), the Ebniye-i Şahane Serkalfa (head master builder of the Palace), carried out the construction organization. Mehmed Efendi, Mahmud Efendi and Rıfat Efendi performed the duty of construction official, which can also be thought as supervision of the financial and administrative affairs, of Beylerbeyi Palace. It is estimated that the palace costed about 500 thousands Ottoman liras. Beylerbeyi Palace, which is the main building of the building complex is a two-storey construction, made of stone, on a high basement. The building was constructed on a land of about 2,500 square meters sits on a rectangular floor area. The South side of the Palace was organized as Imperial Mabeyn and The North side as Valide Sultan's Apartment. There are total 6 halls, 24 rooms, 1 hamam and 1 bathroom at two storeys. Beylerbeyi Palace, which was constructed as a mixture of Western and Eastern styles, has the layout characteristics of traditional Turkish House with Harem and Mabeyn Sections. The roof of the construction was surrounded with a blaustrade hiding all edges. The palace has a plan composition based on a central sofa (hall) design with iwans. The schema of Beylerbeyi Palace consists of three parts: Imperial Mabeyn, Bedroom Apartment (Sultan's Apartment) and Valide Sultan's Apartment. The main Harem section, next to the Valide Sultan's (sultan's mother) Apartment and constructed in parallel with the sea, which belongs to kadinefendi (sultan's wives) and the favourites, was constructed apart from the main building and it was not be able to survive until today. The facade of Imperial Mabeyn exhibits a design in which Neo-baroque style is more evident. Indoor arrangements of the Palace, like its mass and faces, are shaped with an eclectic understanding. Owing to the sea passion of Sultan Abdulaziz, who constructed Beylerbeyi Palace, sea and ship themes were drawn in some frames and cartridges on the ceiling of the Palace; moreover, Sultan Abdulaziz drew some patterns including sea and ship themes in order to give an idea to the painters.
Beylerbeyi Palace was used as a summer palace by Sultan Abdulaziz (1861-1876). During the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz ve Abdülhamid II, the palace acquired the characteristics of a state guest house beginning with its allocation to the foreign states' sovereigns and presidents during their official visits. The first important guest, who was entertained at Beylerbeyi Palace, was Empress Eugenie of France. This visit of the Empress was a return visit of Sultan Abdulaziz's visit to France in 1867. Other foreign guests who were entertained at Beylerbeyi Palace during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz were Joseph, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary (1869), Frédéric Guillaume Nicola Charles, the Crown Prince of Prussia (1869), The Crown Prince of Italia (1869) and Nasıreddin, the Sah of Iran (18 August 1873). During 33 years of reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II (1876-1909), Beylerbeyi Palace served as a museum which was especially visited by foreign state protocol. During that period, also Dolmabahçe Palace and Imperial Treasury of Topkapı Palace were used as Imperial museums which would have been visited with prior permission of the Sultan. Sultan Abdulhamit II, soon after his dethronement, was subjected to compulsory residence at Salonica Alatini Kiosk. However about 3 years later, due to eruption of Balkan War, he was taken to Istanbul. New compulsory residence, chosen for Abduljamid II, was Beylerbeyi Palace. Former Sultan spent his last six years there and departed from life on 10 February 1918 at this palace.
The Palace in Turkish Republic Period
Foreign state guests were entertained at Beylerbeyi Palace during the Period of Republic. Pehlevi, the Sah of Iran who visited Turkey in 1934, was entertained at this palace by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Balkan Games Festival was organized at Beylerbeyi Palace in 1936. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk spent that night at the historical bedroom of Beylerbeyi Palace.
Sea Kiosks
Two Sea Kiosks were built as double, one belonging to Mabeyn and the other to Valide Sultan (Harem); the kiosks have the appearance of a garden pergola. The kiosks, which are one of the most interesting design examples of the new palace were identified in the archives by the names, pointing out the originality of the design, as Çadır Köşkleri (Tent Kiosks), Nevresm (new design, new model). Octagonal covers of the kiosks are decorated with different animal figures.
Terrace Gardens
Beylerbeyi Palace is also an important artifact in terms of its location within the landscape and is one of the most distinguished examples of coast palaces. Beylerbeyi Palace, which is located at the Anatolian side of Bosphorus at Üsküdar district is in a large garden. The garden of Beylerbeyi Palace has the appearance of a rich coppice forest with terrace gardens at the back
Marble (Serdáb) Kiosk
Marble Kiosk is one of the buildings from the period of Sultan Mahmud II, which survived until today. It was given this name due to its marble covered surfaces. As we learn from the references of the period another names of the kiosk are Serdab and Mahmud Kiosk. It was given the name Serdáb since it is buried into the fourth terrace behind the pool.
Yellow Kiosk
Yellow Kiosk, which is located on the fourth terrace garden of Beylerbeyi Palace, considering with the area it is located on, may be thought to be used for resting purposes. It is on the northeast of the land of the palace, on the fourth terrace.
Ahır (Stable) Kiosk
It is located on the last terrace of the Palace's garden, slightly farther from the Marble Kiosk. It has some characteristics reflecting the attitude of Ottoman towards horse culture. In its entrance, there are figures of horses and other animals on the ceiling. Stable section consists of total 20 divisions on both sides. There are reliefs with horse head and eye figures on the chandeliers and other elements.

Hi all,
I am having an issue (I think) when I select albums by artist, it seems that Power Amp is sorting on Contributing Artist, not Album Artist. This is annoying because, for example, I have 21 recordings by the same artist but 5 of them have contributing artists so they don't show up with the others so I have to search all over to find these recordings.
Is there a way to sort on Album artist? Is this actually a bug?
Thanks for any help/suggestions

This has mostly turned into a venue for my fanfiction, most of it housed in my memories. (And much of it now AU pre-Hallows Potterfic.) As of 7/26/10 this consists of--
Harry Potter and the Threeway Charm
: Harry, Ron, and Hermione get together the Winter of their 6th year. Ranges from PG-13 to soft NC-17. 60 chapters plus Prologue and Epilogue. (A different version of this appears at triofic.com)
Harry Potter and the Shattering Climax
: Harry, Ron, and Hermione break up right before their seventh year. Will they get back together in time to defeat Voldemort? Ranges from PG-13 to soft NC-17. 60 chapters plus Epilogue.
: A Yule-Ball ficlet from Neville's perspective, with thoughts on the H/R/H Trio. PG-13.
Hesitation: A Ron Story
: Ron's changing feelings about Harry and Hermione, from the middle of Year 3 to shortly after Year 5. PG-13 to R. 11 chapters. (Deliberately follows a different chain of events than my other HP fiction.)
Ginny Weasley and the Pureblood Prince
: Alternating first-person narration by Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley, mostly covering the gap between Chapter 60 and the Epilogue of
Shattering Climax
. PG-13 to soft NC-17. 36 chapters.
: One chapter about what happens when Harry and Ron go to the Yule Ball together. AU and inconsistent with all this other fanfic. PG but does get Trio-ish by the end.
Unhappy Triad
: Now in their mid-20s and venturing into parenthood, Harry, Hermione, and Ron worry about their relationship, and as is common in my fanfic they resolve things through hot vanilla sex. Therefore hard R or soft NC-17. Same universe as HPTC, HPSC, and GWPP. First-person narration by each character, in three chapters (of course).
Fred fragment
: Beginning of a Fred/Luna story that I never finished. Set in the usual universe. Two chapters, PG-13.
Not What It Looks Like
: When Ron and Hermione try to help Harry retrieve the Horcruxes, it changes the Trio's friendship in many ways. PG-13 to soft NC-17. 56 chapters.
Rhymes with Witch
: Short story (three chapters) about Ginny's personality change in HBP. Different universe than usual, but technically not AU with canon. Mostly PG-13, with R-ishness in the last chapter.
Two by Two
: This NC-17 short story (4-chapters) contains Weasley/Patil double twincest, though it's more het than slash. Set over three Decembers, from what would be Harry Potter's 5th year to 7th. Different universe than usual (esp with the joke shop). Rotating POV.
: For once, words are hard for Hermione, as she tries to write about how she celebrated her 18th birthday with Harry and Ron. Different universe than usual, four short chapters, strong R-rating.
End, Middle, Beginning
: Ron and Hermione offer shelter to a grieving Harry and his difficult daughter. Different universe than usual and set the Summer Harry turns 36. 15 chapters, ranging from PG13 to NC17.
A Perfect Couple
: No one knows the truth about Cedric and Cho's relationship. Rated hard R/ soft NC-17 for slash and het content. Contradicts most of my other fic, one way or another. Nearly canonical, except that I killed off Cho's dad, and I turned Summers and Summerby into one person because it seemed silly to have two boys with similar names in Hufflepuff. Set mostly during the time of Goblet of Fire. 17 chapters, plus Prologue and Epilogue.
Change of Heart
: POV of Tonks, set from slightly before OotP to slightly after HBP. Remus/Sirius, Remus/Tonks, Tonks/various people. Rated NC-17 for het, slash, femmeslash, gender-bending sex, mild Twincest, distant-cousin-cest, rimming, masturbation, group sex, sex between animals, and graphic celibacy. Oh, and language. 23 chapters.
You Read My Mind
: One year after defeating Voldemort, Harry and Ron are monogamous boyfriends. But an Auror class with Hermione might change that. Rated soft NC-17 for those kind of thoughts. Four chapters.
The Doorway
: After Voldemort's death, Harry sets out on a journey without a clear destination, but Ron and Hermione will help him find his way. Rated soft NC-17 for not very explicit sex, mostly offstage violence, and some well-loved Latin and Anglo-Saxon terms. 35 chapters.
The Wireless
: Ginny forces Harry to face his feelings for Ron and Hermione, despite the cost to them all. A novel-length (64 chapters plus Epilogue) Hallows-Epilogue-compliant Triofic, covering 2008 to 2038. More hard R than soft NC-17, because the sex isn't that explicit. OTOH it's definitely a story about grown-ups. Although it focuses on Harry, Ron, and Hermione, there are multiple POVs. Different versions of this story appear at triofic.com and thequidditchpitch.org.
Hermione Granger's Diary (I Mean Journal)
: A series offering Hermione's POV of all seven canonical books (except not JKR's Epilogue). There are 161 chapters total, in six books, since
Philosopher's Stone
Chamber of Secrets
are so short that my Book One covers from Hermione's 11th birthday to the end of her second year at Hogwarts. It won't necessarily be consistent with my other fic, but hopefully it'll be relatively consistent with canon. The rating ranges from G to NC-17. And while the series is not Triofic per se (not with canon to contend with), it certainly has some trio-y moments.
Book One: Discovery
, 29 chapters. (Shorter, PG version is at thequidditchpitch.org)
Book Two: Time
, 18 chapters. (PG version at thequidditchpitch.org)
Book Three: Rivalry
, 27 chapters.
Book Four: Rebellion
, 32 chapters.
Book Five: Want
, 22 chapters.
Book Six: Plans
, 33 chapters.
, in which Harry and Ron read Hermione's diaries, I mean journals. Rated NC-17, about sixty chapters total.
Uncompleted series,
Accio Adulthood
: Continuing on from
, this would've covered the three years of Harry's Auror training, but I only got through the first year, seven stories. Rated NC-17 for language and sexual content.
Unexpected Reactions
: This covers the rest of the summer that
is set. There are 33 chapters, with rotating POV among the Trio, with a few guest POVs, although less than in
The Wireless
Right and Easy Choices
: When Harry gives Rita Skeeter an interview, it has unintended consequences, especially for Percy. Thirty chapters.
First Christmas
: Harry and Hermione have a couple weeks off from Auror training and magical law school, and they want to spend as much time with each other and Ron as they can. But there are complications, from a wedding to winter colds. Thirty chapters. Rated NC-17 for various kinds of sex. Contains brief, mild bondage, and snuggling in an igloo.
Assuming Responsibility
: As a new semester begins for Harry and Hermione, they and Ron have to cope with some new problems. Thirty-one chapters.
An Unimportant Birthday
: Harry and Hermione help Ron celebrate his big one-nine. Twenty chapters.
Teddy's Return
: Teddy visits for the Easter holidays, while the Trio look forward to Summer. Twenty-two chapters.
: The Trio take their year-end exams and spend two weeks apart. Eighteen chapters.
Also, a G-rated Dan & Rupert friendfic,
When They Met,
Only one chapter.
And not Harry-Potter-related--
Crowded House: A Fruits Basket Story
: Tohru Honda finds a way to break the Sohmas' curse. R or NC-17, with moments of PG-13. 13 chapters. Based on the anime, not the manga.
Diana of Avonlea
: Diana always loved Anne of Green Gables, despite their frequent separations over the years. Nine chapters, rated R for more romance than smut. These characters and many of the slashy lines belong to L.M. Montgomery.
My current friending policy is based on the likeliness of you either reading my fic or hanging out with me in a small group. I'm going to be on LJ less now that I'm done writing fanfic, and probably even less than that once the final Harry Potter film is out.

Fall Seed Saving
While I clean up some of the garden I save seeds to things I'd like to have more of or grow from seed. Yesterday, I was cleaning out the dahlias in the potager and saw the ligularia seeds. I grabbed a bag and my pruners and saved a few seeds. A few were also scattered around the plant to see if they'd germinate on their own.
I look forward to hopefully growing a few plants for other spaces in the garden. My garden is very large and mass plantings look best. Since it's expensive to buy plants, I'm starting loads from seed and dividing perennials as well.
Are you collecting any seed this fall while you clean up the garden?
3 Comments to "Fall Seed Saving"
Susy, I haven't started saving seeds just yet but it's on the list of future things to do. I have read articles about the acclimating seeds to a particular garden soil and weather. The more years the seeds are saved from a property, the better they grow there especially if the best and strongest seeds are saved from the best harvest.
My saved seeds come from gardener friends that have saved some of their prize seeds from vegetables and flowers but hopefully the seed saving will begin soon. Maybe even next year.
Have a great seed saving/scattering day.

Basil and romaine.

I am saving ghost pepper and some nasturtium from the plants that were hearty and lasted until a couple weeks ago.

Kanye West has been laying relatively low for almost a year now since canceling his Saint Pablo Tour back in November 2016 following a public breakdown. While he's been photographed occasionally, either getting dinner with his wife, Kim Kardashian West, or taking a meeting with Donald Trump, his professional projects appeared to be on an indefinite hold. That is, until some fashion insiders received invitations via nude socks for his Yeezy Season 6 presentation during Paris Fashion Week.
West has previously shown exclusively during New York Fashion Week. It was reported earlier this month that West had canceled his show in New York, but it now appears that he's simply following in the footsteps of brands like Rodarte and Proenza Schouler and switching locations to Paris. West has become known for creating, for better or worse, wild spectacles during Fashion Week—holding his shows at places like Madison Square Garden and Roosevelt Island. This month's presentation in Paris, though, will reportedly be a more low-key affair.
"There was never a show on the N.Y.F.W. schedule," a source told People. "There was basically a hold in the event Kanye opted to show during N.Y.F.W. There will be a presentation or showroom for the Season 6 collection, just not during N.Y.F.W."
West's showing will come close to the one-year anniversary of Kardashian's armed robbery during Paris Fashion Week on October 3 of last year. Kardashian hasn't been back to the city since the crime, which resulted in $10 million worth of her jewelry being stolen, and has no plans to return for her husband's show, with her rep telling Entertainment Tonight that she has "work commitments."
It was recently revealed that Kardashian had received an apology letter from Aomar Ait Khedache, the alleged mastermind behind the jewel heist. "I want to come to you as a human being to tell you how much I regret my gesture, how much I have been moved and touched to see you in tears," he wrote, according to TMZ. "Know that I fully sympathize with the pain you are enduring, your children, your husband, and your close ones."
Sources told TMZ that Kardashian wasn't left feeling reassured by the letter, believing that Khedache only wrote it to look better before his trial (he sent the letter to the judge, who then passed it along to Kardashian's lawyers).
According to People, West may not even attend his own presentation this week. While Kourtney Kardashian has been photographed in Paris along with her boyfriend, Younes Bendjima, it's too soon to say whether she'll attend her brother-in-law's showing as a family representative.

Creepy looking path, let me know what you think.
Yoiks! Looks like the set of a slasher flick or something. You wouldn't catch me walking there alone.
Nice idea and it does look pretty creepy!
Oh yes, this path does sure look spooky or creepy in the way you are presenting it here.
In daylight, it may well be the most innocent path, but at night.... whoa!
Well photographed.
The white flecks... are they scanned dust specs?
Unfortunatly yes. Did bother photoshopping them out.
Im freaked id never walk underneath that lamp. Composite a faint faint faint image of a human walking through. Hrm Im having ideas now of fake ghost pictures with this one...
Very creepy makes you wonder what's on the other side of the wall. You can practically hear skittering in the dry leaves. Would not go there at night ... heck might not go there during the day! lol Nice shot, love the lighting.
I love it! It has a gothic quality to it.

Well, either him or my decision to drug her with catnip. I'm not generally a big fan of giving cats massive quantities of catnip, so I'd previously only offered her very rare and very brief exposures to small amounts of it. But since the vet suggested that if nothing else resolved her Incontinent by Choice issues, he might prescribe anti-anxiety drugs to her, I concluded that she was sufficiently in need of being drugged that it made sense to try just giving her massive doses of ordinary catnip. Large doses of catnip actually seem to affect her less than the smaller doses, but maybe giving her more frequent doses has some sort of calming effect. I hope so.
Meanwhile, she's getting a little more comfortable with the cat tree, but she's still a little afraid of it. She climbs on it, plays with the toys dangling from it, and uses it as a scratching post, but she doesn't sleep on it or even relax on it for more than a minute or two. She sleeps under it constantly, but never on it. She also still doesn't usually venture up to the higher levels of it. I think the higher levels are just too narrow for her; she can squeeze either under or into the tunnel on top, but neither is really very easy for her, because she's a little too large to fit comfortably.
But with the help of catnip and toys, I persuaded her to pose for pictures on the parts of the tree she's most comfortable on.
The large loops of ribbon hanging out from the ball are loops she's pulled out of their original positions.
Hmm . . . it could use just a dash more salt.
Hunting is more fun when you go after a different toy with each paw.
Let's see what's under here!
The black ball must die.
I scattered catnip all around the inside of the little cubbyhole thing, as you can see in the photos. The idea was to encourage her to go inside and get comfortable. It encouraged her to go in for a moment or two, but she's still too afraid of that particular area to ever sit down inside it and stay there, even for a minute or two. The closest she's come to sitting comfortably on any part of the cat tree is when she sat on top of the cubbyhole area for maybe two or three minutes while I was photographing her.

text: Date: Thurs 11th March – Frid 12th March. THE WAY: (1) Chiang Mai – Mae Suai – Wawi – Mae Suai – Chiang Rai. (2) Chiang Rai – Mae Sai – Doi Tung – Mae Chan – Tha Ton – Fang – Chiang Mai. THE ROUTES: (1) 118 – 1. (2) 1 – 1149 – 1338- 1130 – 1 - 1089 – 107. DISTANCE: approx 570 kms. (And the Africa Twin's only got 250 kms on the clock now, after ticking over the magic 99,999 kms on the super outside Mae Chan.) {} RIDERS: David Unk. A quick over nighter to deliver some maps & pick up some music Cds, plus a DVD player & some new GPS tracks. Got away from Cnx a bit late at 3.15 pm, right in the heat. The weather was smoky & hot, with the roads getting greasy & somewhat treacherous, especially around the Chiang Rai super highway. You've been warned!! Traffic was a bit heavy, the start of school holidays, but otherwise I got a nice clean run North. First stop was 140 kms out at the Charin Garden for the obligatory soda, cappuccino & cheesecake. By the time I got away from Charin, it was approaching dusk. The survey plan was to check out the amount of asphalt to Wawi, & maybe as far as Mae Saluk & the Kok River. The rumour being that the asphalt ran all the way into Wawi, plus a bit further towards the Kok River. If this were the case it would not be a problem to ride in & out, or even over to That Ton, then into Chiang Rai in the dark on asphalt. However my luck run out just after Huai Khrai & it was nice and dusty. Yeah yeah, the Akha guy said, it's only 9 kms of dirt, then you are back on asphalt all the way to Wawi. However after 20 kms of dirt, I was finding it hard going. The light was appallingly bad; everything was dull, the smoky sky, the light itself, and the powder dust not reflecting any light from the bikes headlights even. This was no fun, plus the Africa Twin almost spat me off 3 times just to remind me that the bloody WILBERS rear shock's gone yet again (more on this later). Shyte I thought, I could be in here for several hours groping around in the dark & bull dust, or in Chiang Rai & the bright city lights for the bulk of the night. I turned around & headed back. I was on route 118 by 7.00 pm & 40 mins later in Chiang Rai, taking the slow Den Har back way into town. The Nim See Seng Hotel is one of the best value for money joints in Chiang Rai town right now, with rooms starting from 450 baht a night. By 8.30 pm I was seated at an nice outdoor bar in downtown Chiang Rai with the day's papers, a bottle of Ballantines, plus 2 delicious hot & spicy Thai yams & a plate of nice hot salted cashew nuts to nibble on……… By 11.30 pm I'd finished the papers & moved 100 meters down the soi to gossip with Boo the owner of Lobo bar. Boo's not a fool & enquired where my 19 yrs old son was, as last trip to Ch Rai he had been with me to check out some dollies in her go-go bar. He was in Cnx at work for a change & had no time for holidays or tee-io with his Dad! That's a shame she said, as her 20 yr old daughter was at work that night managing one of her outside bars, & might be interested in my son, but not me! Right I get the message, so no disco tonight either I guess. By 12.00 pm I was in bed watching the goggle box, alone! Next morning after dropping off some maps, it was a quick blast up the 4-lane & route 1 to Mae Sai. Just after leaving Chiang Rai, & still negotiating that series of terrible hot greasy asphalt intersections on the super north of town, I caught up to Scott on his ZX-10 doing a steady 110 kph. Pulled up along side him at the lights, it was funny to & see that we had the same Joe Rocket vented mesh jackets on. Scott's was bright yellow & mine bright red! At least we acknowledged the need to wear bright colours & be seen, and need to stay cool in the heat. The lights changed & I soon left him behind, as Scott's speed was a bit too pedestrian for me. I only saw his bike parked in Mae Sai after I came back from Tachilek. (Scott if you're reading this mate, I hope you got back to Cnx ok; but how bout making some road & trip reports sometime?) In Mae Sai I noted that all the Thai immigration facilities are down at the bridge now, so there's no need to check in at the office on the outside of town first. By 12.30 pm the DVD player was tightly strapped on the back of the bike & I was back on the road, heading up into the hidden smoked covered hills of Doi Tung. The smoke was so a bad I almost did not see the Doi Tung turn off, & I was looking out for it! By 1.30 pm I was back on route 1130, having GPS-ed route 1338, which runs from Mae Fah Luang over to Pa Miang. Route 1338 is a little bewdy too, tight narrow, steep, but flowing at the route 1130 end. There's also a series of very tight, very steep switchbacks between Si Lang & Huai San Mai, just to keep your riding honest. If you're ever in the area, need to cross from Doi Tung to Doi Mae Salong (or vice versa) & prefer a "back road," then try this one; it's good for the adrenalin. By 2.30 pm I was in Tha Ton at Apples having a nice iced coffee, ready for the run down 107 to Chiang Mai. Route 107 from Tha Ton – Fang – Chai Prakarn is not a lot of fun late arvo / dusk due to the amount of roadside traffic. The road's wide, but generally 3-lane, that's 2 + 1 for vehicles always trying to cheat & push their way through. The sooner they turn this into a 4-lane highway the better. South of Chai Prakarn you're into the twisty hills & can really let rip an enjoy yourself. At 5.45 pm I was in Chiang Mai & by 6.25 pm sitting in a dentist's chair getting my teeth cleaned. It had been another hard day at the office……………. P.S. Check out Khun Yuam for the good oil on the Wilbers rear shock.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Feel (emotions) (08/26/10)
- TITLE: God Is In Control | Previous Challenge Entry
By Tiara Huffman
This was something I didn't look forward to, and normally tried to avoid it, but today Melissa was coming over and I'd rather go through a breakdown then to deal with the looks and questions about the toys lined just so and everything else that was in perfect order in this ten year-olds room.
Melissa was our apartment landlady. There was a hole in Tim's room that need to be covered, I'd do it myself if I didn't know it would give another strike against me. Melissa and North Valley apartments ran things on a tight ship.
I took in a breath then prepared myself for the breakdown. Not only was I asking him to turn off his show and clean his room, but so that an unplanned guest could come mess around in his room. Another thing I tried to avoid sudden changing of plans. Melissa had called me back this morning when Tim was at school and told me she would be by at four and I couldn't talk her into another time.
When I saw he wasn't making any move to listen or look at me, I reached over and hit the power button on the television.
"Mom no. no. no. no. You can't turn off McGee and Me!" His hand started flapping then. He'd saw the show on TBN one morning and been obsessed with watching it since, I had to get all the DVDs.
I took another breath to him took his hand and drew him close. Doing this got his attention so I could get him to look at me.
"Look Tim," I tried to remain calm. "The movie will be right here waiting once you're done, but you need to go clean your room. Ms. Melissa is coming over to fix the hole in your wall. I need you to clean up," He lashed in my grasp and shook his head and repeated 'no' over and over again. I had to raise my voice to be heard.
"Tim you can put everything back once she's done." But it fell on ears that were closed off. He was unreachable as he broke down and once again the autism gained its chance to rule. I let go of his ragging hands that were too much for me to control.
I took in a pitiful breath, crestfallen a tear slide down my cheek. I came behind him bringing him down to the ground; it was a struggle--he was getting stronger--and I placed my weight on him.
"Shh…Shh Tim, 'God is in control we believe that His children will not be forsaken" I sang softly in his ear. "God is in control we will choose to remember and never be shaken there is no power above or beside Him, we know God is in control, oh God is in control…"' it was his favorite song and it clamed him, but it took awhile when he was this worked up. He lashed around hitting me in the face with the hand that got free.
"He has never let you down why start to worry now? He is still the Lord of all we see and He is still the loving Father watching over you and me" I continued to sing as I pressed his arm back down and applied more pressure to his body. It was in moments like this, where the only way to help him was to sing to him and press all my weight on him till the storm passed that I felt hopeless.
Just then Tim stopped his lashing just before joining in.
"Every little sparrow, every little thing." We stood getting into the chorus.
"GOD is in CONTROL we believe that His children will not be forsaken GOD is in CONTROL we will choose to remember and never be shaken there is no power above or beside Him, we know GOD is in CONTROL, oh GOD is in CONTROL!"
I laughed then I love watching him rejoice and praise God, so joyous. It was then watching him sing 'God is in control' that I felt peace and happiness; I would never do anything over. I loved Tim with all my heart, it didn't matter if he was autistic, God Is In Control!

Belonging - there have been many articles and conversations around the concept of belonging - how it resonates within our communities, how our work places embrace it (or don't!) and how in our own personal and family structures we explore what it means to be part of something. Last month I attended Community Foundations of Canada's Conference in Ottawa where more than 750 community leaders came together to explore what belonging means to our collective work. Speakers and conference participants talked passionately for three days about what belonging means to them. None more so then a group of three community leaders: Desmond Cole (journalist and civil rights activist), Natan Obed (the brilliant young leader of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami) and the thoughtful Senator Ratna Omidvar (Senate of Canada). From their varied and unique perspectives, they explored the state of belonging and what it means to each of them and why it's so important to be having these discussions. View their conversation here: Vital Conversation on Belonging with Desmond Cole, Senator Ratna Omidvar and Natan Obed.
A major theme running through the conference was the (at times) very difficult discussion on reconciliation and equality. I overheard at table discussions a community and business leader saying that until recently he knew very little about the history of the Residential Schools and the enormous impact that has had on subsequent generations. How do we reshape our relationship with indigenous peoples? How do we collectively listen and collaboratively move forward? Cindy Blackstock, from First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada gave a moving presentation which you can view here: Plenary with Cindy Blackstock.
We know that belonging is at the heart of building more resilient places to live, work and play. And we know that we are each responsible for working towards understanding what belonging means so that we can continue to model it in the work we do in our communities. To explore belonging further check out this report which uses the lens of social participation to better understand how we as individuals feel that we belong: Belonging: Exploring Connection to Community.

New Dragon Quest X Screenshots Show Paladin and Ranger Quests
Square Enix is steadily adding more content to Dragon Quest X, as the Japanese servers of the game seem to thrive despite the unusual platform for this kind of game.
Recently the Paladin and Ranger jobs have been made available to players, and today the publisher announced four new quests that will be playable exclusively by those that unlocked those jobs. There will be two new quests for Paladins and two for Rangers. The first of each pair will be available on October the 15th, while the second will be online on October the 18th.
In the meanwhile we're still in the dark on the possibility of a localization. For some reason Square Enix always drags its feet on localizing Dragon Quest games in the west. Hopefully something will move sooner rather than later. In the meanwhile you can enjoy the screenshots below.

In official results released by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, the (ruling) MDC is tied with (the opposition) ZANU-PF, with each having won 12 parliamentary seats so far. As results continue to trickle in, English to Africa reporter Chinedu Offor spoke with reporter Fazila Mohammed in Harare about the mood in and around the capital.
?People seem very confused, some are celebrating, some feel the result should have come out?people on the ground are trying to go about their normal business, but on the streets the talk is all about the results not coming out.? She says the security rings around the city of Harare and other parts of the country put in place before the polls have been relaxed.
?Right now people are moving about. Starting last night, in a township called Highfield, people were already celebrating; people actually waited outside polling stations demanding to see the results. But in terms of security, there [were] lots of riot police which were dropped off on the streets of Harare last night, but it seems the police are quite relaxed with the people.?
Mohammed says Zimbabwean electoral authorities are appealing for calm and patience from the people as they await the results. ?According to ZEC (Zimbabwe Electoral Commission), they are saying it will take some time; they are also saying that by the end of today, they are hoping to come out with the presidential results at least, and the rest they will continue after that.? (English to Africa 03/31)

Trip To The Upper Peninsula (12)
Taking children on a homeschool cruise creates the opportunity for households to journey collectively and be taught through the precise expertise of seeing, strolling, touching and being there rather than reading a guide. Ports of calls fit as the child's classroom. They study with their traveling group and make new friends. Planning is the key to creating certain every little thing goes as intended by following these steps.
Outlining this trip was easy with the help of the guide and most of the good websites on Portugal that I listed above. Aramco is anticipated to signal an settlement in the course of the go to to collaborate with Malaysia's state oil agency Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) on its Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) challenge. The firm also reiterated its 2017 forecast of double-digit consolidated income growth, in addition to double-digit click-based and transaction income development.
