If you want to check out the safety of the conditioner you are using, you can look it up at the Skin Deep cosmetics safety database. You can also search for low-toxicity conditioners. When I tried to do that, I found stuff that looked really benign, but cost $20 a bottle, plus shipping, and I wouldn't be doing anything to avoid buying bottles and shipping water around the planet.
So I looked for conditioner or hair gel recipes on the web. There are some out there, but a lot of them use the same chemicals that I'd prefer to avoid. There was one that worked great -- boiling flax seeds in water to make an amazing gel --but the result goes bad in less than a week and ends up smelling like rotten eggs. It's worth considering doing that and keeping it in the fridge to prevent spoilage, but I wanted to see if I could make something more convenient.
It turns out that this formula also has something of the same problem--it spoils eventually if it's not refrigerated--so unless you want to add preservatives, you need to make small batches, or keep most of it in the fridge. But it works well--as you see in the comments, some people swear by this formula.
Several comments also suggested aloe vera juice. You can buy that in a bottle or grow your own. That's also likely to have the problem of needing preservatives to last without refrigeration, but it seems to do a little better in my limited experimentation as far as keeping at room temperature.
Step 1: Obtain the ingredients
2/3 cup water.
xanthan gum and guar gum: 1/4 tsp each for gel; 1/8 tsp each for conditioner
1 tsp canola oil
I got the xanthan gum and guar gum from the bulk section of my local coop grocery store. They get it from frontier ; you can use their store locator to find a local source. You can also order direct from Frontier (both gums are in the cooking and baking ingredients section ), but you'll need to buy a 1-lb bag which is probably a lifetime supply for your entire neighborhood. You can order smaller quantities from Organic Creations , one of the few sources of soapmaking supplies that has mostly nontoxic stuff. Update: here's a source of really cheap guar gum but you need so little of it that a local bulk bin is the best option if that's available to you.
You don't really need both--they serve the same function (thickening, emulsifiying, lubricating), but they are supposed to work best in combination. If you want a vegan option, you might want to go with guar gum only. Xanthan gum is sometimes (particularly in the US) made from whey. I personally feel OK about utilizing whey which would otherwise likely go to waste, but if you want to be sure to have nothing animal based, you can simply go with guar gum, which is plant-based.
I don't have any scents in this--I prefer it that way--but you can add whatever scent you like. Experimenting with different scents can be fun. Soapmaking supply places have lots of wonderful scents available.
This is a pretty small quantity. One reason for that is that it doesn't have any preservative in it, and it's all food ingredients, so it will probably go bad in time. I haven't had trouble with that, but I haven't left any sitting around for more than 2-3 weeks. You could make larger batches, and keep most in the fridge. But you may want to start with small batches anyway so you can tweak the recipe for your hair.
You can read more at the end about how I picked these ingredients, other options to consider, and how to adjust the recipe according to what you want it to do.
I have dry, curly hair, and thought for a long time that I was going to have to use commercial products if I wanted my hair to set in soft curls rather than frizzy or stiff and chunky (the results of earlier all-natural experiments). This is the first recipe I've tried that results in consistent "good hair days". And as a bonus, after 5 months off of commercial products, my hair is much healthier, bouncier, with almost no split ends.
For shampoo, I use a squirt of unscented liquid castille soap in about a cup of water. After rinsing it out, I follow with a dollop of lemon juice diluted in another cup of water, which restores the pH and adds "slip" and shine. Then a dab of your recipe as conditioner, which I rinse out too. I put a bit more in as leave-in gel, depending on the humidity of the day, and let it air dry.
I brought in some of the gel to my hairdresser to use when I asked her not to use commercial products when washing out my hair. She thought it was fantastic, and loved the way it set when dry. She shared it with her boss, who also thinks it's great and wants to play with the recipe someday when she opens her dream salon with a freshly-made-hair-product "buffet". :)
Regarding the shelf life, I keep a container in my fridge, fetch it each morning before I shower, and pop it back into the fridge when I'm done. The ratio I use is 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon canola oil, and either 1 or 2 teaspoons guar gum. (I couldn't get the xanthan gum easily, and this works pretty well without.). I mix it up in the blender, gum added last, which ends up smoother than when I tried it by hand.
I found that the thicker gel stays good a little longer than the thinner, so I can take it with me unrefrigerated for short vacations and it stays good. When I'm traveling with the thicker stuff, I use a little less and rub it between my hands to de-clump it before I put it in my hair. Your freezing idea is clever - I haven't tried that yet!
I hit on the diluted-lemon-juice rinse after trying the often-touted diluted-vinegar rinse and finding that even in very dilute solutions, my hair would smell vinegary if it was a rainy day. I looked into the reasoning behind the vinegar rinse (pH balancing back to acidic, because soap is more basic than the natural scalp pH), and figured that lemon juice might work just as well. It does! And even when it rains, my hair doesn't smell lemony, although if it did, it'd still be better than vinegar. Lemon juice is even more acidic than vinegar, so I make sure not to use it undiluted. Also, lemon juice can have a lightening effect over time if it's not well rinsed out. This doesn't bother me, but it's worth noting.
The following information has been unscientifically gathered from The Internet:
- The pH of healthy hair ranges between 4.5 and 5.5.
- Soap can range from "pH balanced" neutral (7) to alkaline (8-11).
- Rinsing with diluted vinegar (3) or lemon juice (2) supposedly neutralizes the alkalinity and shifts the balance back towards the acidic.
Part of me wonders why rinsing it all out doesn't get the hair's pH back to water's neutral 7, but rinsing out soap with all the water in the world doesn't seem to take away the tangly "squeaky clean" texture that comes from too much alkalinity. And after I've done the lemon juice rinse, that grippy texture is replaced with a more natural-feeling "slip" that doesn't go away, even when I rinse really well. So although I don't quite understand how, it does seem to work.
You're right that lemon juice on its own has a pretty long unrefrigerated shelf life, I think because it's so acidic. I think that anything that increasing the acidity of the conditioner to the level where it stopped going bad would probably be too acidic to leave on your hair without rinsing it out thoroughly. But, if you're using it only as a rinse-out conditioner and not as a leave-in, it could definitely be worth a try! What if you used just lemon juice as a base, and added the oil and powders to that?
I haven't experimented with grape seed oil, but I know it's a popular natural preservative that could probably be used in a leave-in formula.
I'm also intrigued by the pure-aloe-vera that hoopajoo and rimar2000 suggested. Have you tried it? How would you say it compares with your formula in terms of how your hair feels?
So I tried it again, using just 1/8 teaspoon of oil. Works great! After blow drying, my hair is soft, but fuller than without any products. It doesn't feel dry, nor does it feel greasy. Just right.
The original batch? I'm using it to shave my legs, which it does a fabulous job of. Legs end up nice and smooth and well moisturized.
Thanks for the recipe!
Tocopheryl Acetate is Vit E. You can get this anywhere. You may even already have it in your medicine cabinet. Just grab a small capsule, poke a hole into it and squeeze out a couple of drops into whatever you're making. This is a great addition and can prolong shelf life of shampoos, conditioners, creams, etc. A little goes a long way- i.e. 1-2 drops per batch of conditioner above. Vit E. is an antioxidant and prevents rancidity in oils. It's also beneficial to the skin in blocking UV rays and moisturizing.
So, if you're looking for a natural preservative- this is a great place to start but because there's water in this recipe, spoilage will eventually occur.
Also, if you're interested in a longer shelf life for your conditioner without refrigerating it, try adding a few drops of Vitamin E oil. Other great options for this are rosemary antioxidant (extract) (can be found from mountainroseherbs.com/), vegetable glycerin (which is also a great humectant & available in organic, also from mountainroseherbs.com/). Citric acid (available in bulk powder form, yay!!) is also great for extending shelf life:) Oh, & you can try potassium sorbate, though some people prefer to avoid it. It's considered safe & used in some organic products, but can have some unpleasant side effects if used frequently (more likely if ingested frequently).
And it's also interesting that you note that among commercial products, conditioner is particularly problematic as far as containing ingredients you might want to avoid.
Thanks for adding this link here.
Good question!
so is it or isnt it?
I don't mean to be totally paranoid about additives, and I understand the need for preservatives, but when there's a choice, I'd rather not.
It seems that Lily of the Desert sells it both with and without preservatives, but both look pretty safe compared to some cosmetics--the preservatives are citric acid and potassium sorbate, both of which are considered safe in food.
They also sell "whole leaf" and "fillet juice" versions, and they sell it as "juice" or "gel", the gel having less than 1% carrageenan as a thickener.
I also noticed on Lily of the Desert's web site that they have their own conditioner. It's got a long list of ingredients so I won't look them up tonight, but it would be interesting to see what they are, how safe they are, and try to figure out why they added all that instead of just telling people to use the juice or gel.
Your solution of just using aloe gel looks more promising than anything else commercially available, and Lily of the Desert looks like a great company. I'm going to try it, but I'm pretty happy with the formula in the instructable, and it's hard to beat the cost.

Recently, the CME administrative staff has introduced a proposal to
modify the settlement procedures for the several CME and CBOT futures
products, moving from reliance on pit trading activity to CME Globex
trading activity. It has been defined as a ("VWAP"). In case you didn't
get an A in algonomics, this is a hybrid settlement methodology that
will utilize a blended volume-weighted average-price of Floor and Globex
activity to determine settlement prices. This change was introduced
without any input from traders that use the market place. Furthermore,
neither customers nor market makers will have any ability to comment on
the approval of this rule, or to refine the way and timing during which
these rule changes are implemented.
The CME open-outcry provides about 2,000 jobs each day. This is a
conservative estimate and does not take in account the workforce around
the building. Our experience with the CME implementation of electronic
settlements in the Wheat and Rice contracts has been a dire situation.
It has drastically altered the market conditions of the exchange. Not
only has the trading pit lost almost all of its business, hundreds of
jobs have gone with it. We believe that implementing these rules will
result in a similar loss of jobs in any other futures contracts. Now,
the CBOT wheat contract is merely a function for manipulative
algorithmic bids and offers and this has taken away any true lack of
real market makers with 'sticky liquidity.' The entire volume and the
integrity of the contract have been affected.
Our Concerns:
The proposed change raises the possibility of increased volatility and the risk of price distortions during the closing period because the greater speed of electronic trade is likely to result in a greater price impact in the event of sub-second liquidity imbalances.
The CME's current settlement practices in futures do not expose participants to abusive practices or otherwise impede fair and equitable trading. The settlement procedures are fully transparent, based upon competitively executed transactions and observed spread relationships by experienced and knowledgeable market participants.
We want the voice of the customers and floor traders to be heard during proposed changes. Why does the CME management continue to implement strategies and algorithms that drive volume away from the floor? This exchange has been in existence since 1848 and we are truly concerned for the future.
Please sign the petition or write a letter, support our cause and get letters from traders and customers to strengthen our efforts.

Foster children in the area will benefit from Earth Fare's Hawaiian Grill from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The event will feature samples of meat, a Father's Day craft and an ice cream sundae bar. The sampling and crafts are free; the sundae bar costs $5. Twenty percent of the proceeds will go to Kids Restart.
"Our primary service is to provide supervised visits for children in foster care," said Kids Restart Program Director Daniela Whitaker. "We are currently the only supervised-visit facility in the CSRA."
In addition to providing supervised visits, Kids Restart provides transportation to the center and home again for the foster children. Each visit, according to Whitaker, lasts about two hours.
"We provide hands-on parenting during the visit," Whitaker said.
"When children return home, we want the family to stay together," she said.
The agency also provides divorced co-parenting classes and individual parenting courses.
In addition to Hawaiian Grill, Kids Restart will receive 5 cents for every bag that is recycled at Earth Fare during June.
"You're not only helping the environment, but also helping Kids Restart," Whitaker said.
A Kids Restart display board, brochures and a volunteer sign-up sheet are on display at Earth Fare. Whitaker said she will be at the store Saturday to answer questions.
Kids Restart has a federal grant that it must match at 25 percent.
The money earned through Earth Fare's efforts will be used toward that grant, which pays for arts and crafts for the children and transportation costs.
"If we didn't provide transportation, 90 to 95 percent of these visits wouldn't occur," Whitaker said.
The facility supervises an average of 17 visits per week, with families waiting to get into the program.
"We have more demand than we have funding for," she said.
To get more information about Kids Restart, or to enroll in one of their parenting classes, call (706) 828-0180.

Raven and Spencer
0 ReviewsWas written as a cheer up for my best friend.
Spencer was hard at work making sure he was up to scratch with his drumming skills and was head down with headphones in. His fringe had its usual parting near the middle which kept it going the same way but had a slight gap in it. Raven instantly recognised what song it was. He was playing Northern Downpour and as it came to the chorus she started singing softly "hey moon please forget to fall down" Spencer seemed to come out of his trance and stared at Raven with his deep meaningful eyes and said "hey moon don't you fall down" He stood up and took out his headphones and walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek and said "Just look up and you will see that it wont fall down!" As she looked up at the newly painted ceiling which had a tribal design moon on it and in the stars you could almost see like dot to dot saying 'Raven Scarlett will you be Raven Smith?' She looked down to see that Spencer had dropped to his knee and was holding a ring that had blood red crystals in it. She looked into Spencer's eyes and saw his smile which only very special people got to see and knew that after 2 years of dating him know was the perfect time to marry him.
Raven just blushed then remembered the full reason why she went in their in the first place. She was trying to find the perfect time to tell Spencer about how she was pregnant and it was his child! She had told her best mate Vee about it 2 days ago. What she didn't know is that Vee had told Spencer earlier that day. Spencer saw the confusion and upset and the sheepishness in her eyes and said oh and before you say any reply I know and I'm ready. He went over to the corner to uncover a child size drum kit from under the dark purple cloth. Raven knew she was with the right person and fell in tears into his arms shouting "YES!"

Jvirtue55 said:
Don't you have to declare all attackers at once?
That was my concern too, with this. There is no action window when declaring attackers, so it seems that declaring Daemon Prince as an attacker would beat the forced effect to the punch. Too bad.
Jvirtue55 said:
Don't you have to declare all attackers at once?
IMO, you should declare all attackers at once.
But I'm not sure what would designer say.
Without Signature
U can't blank DP with Screamers and attack with your Daemon prince, becouse U declare attackers, THEN feared effect works, in other words to use feared ability you need all attackers declared.
"The best ideas often come from the worst minds."
I'm not sure this is correct. You have to declare all of your attackers before the action window but you don't have to declare them all at exactly the same instant. Feared isn't an action, it's a keyword so it doesn't have to wait until the action window to take effect. It all boils down to exactly how you interpret the wording of the Feared ability.
If "while this unit is attacking" begins from the instant the unit is declared as an attacker (similar timing to Counterstrike) then this will work. If it begins after all attacking units have been declared then it won't.
I don't want to say one way or the other at this point, but my inner-rules-lawyer is insisting that this MIGHT be correct.
Well, since I started this, I've sent the question to FFG, so that we may have a definitive answer. Perhaps, it will also clear up a bit of the timing for these kind of events.
When I said about at least three ways of blanking the text box of daemon prince I was thinking about Screamers of Tzeentch - yes Titan, you guessed it. I have to admit I was not 100% sure if it will work, I mean if the feared will kick in just in time to select daemon prince as an attacker. It will be great to hear from FFG what is the true answer here. Thanks
Your gods are weak and your empire doomed. Bow to Chaos!
feared works at the beginning of ACTION WINDOW, so after all attackers are declared. there is no way to choose screamers as attacker, then use feared, then select Daemon Prince as attacker.
"The best ideas often come from the worst minds."
Teokrata is right. Feared can't trigger until you are already attacking. There's no way to go back and add an attacker.
Here's the official answer (with many thanks to Lukas):
"You declare all of your attackers/defenders at once, simultaneously. After they have been declared you will trigger any Constant or Forced effects resulting from this, which would include Feared (then after those resolve an Action window opens). So you could not use the Screamers to blank the Daemon Prince and then have him attack."
Another question: It is possible that the daemon prince sacrifices himself or is he an illegal target? I'm not sure because of the rule text "… to put a resource token on it". This part could only be happened, if the unit is still in play. To sacrifice him lead obvisiouly to a situation, in which the second part of the action isn't possible.
Is it allowed to use Khorvak to blank the Daemon Prince?
"Eric Lang... I could kiss you on the mouth...you would like it." - Robert Florence
Khorvak doesn't blank cards, he just allows other units who are corrupted to attack, no matter what zone they are in. If the D-Prince was corrupted Khorvak could not let the Prince attack unless there were 3 resources on the Prince. I think Khorvak has more of a "global" effect that does not overrule the Prince's "specific" effect.

shaper ?
hubba hubba man
I am in the market to buy a shaper. Grizzly has a 1 1/2 hp for about 400.00 Is this a good buy and if not, can anyone give a sugestion to go by. thanks
Well, That is a good question and the answer depends on what you are going to do with a shapper. I have a German Made shapper that cost me about $1000 and it is great. I bought it to make baseboards for my whole house. It payed for itself twice over. I was able to by the stock, the cutters, and the shapper for less than the base boards would have cost from the wholesale wood supplier I use.
A shapper is a very good tool I use it to make rail and styles and raised pannels. The cutters cost a bit more than a router, but they are much bigger and can handle more stock.
Ask yourself what you indend to do with the shapper or tell us, determine if the unit you are looking at will do the job, speed, shaft size, ect then you have an idea of what this unit will do for you.
I don't think I would spend that much on a 1 1/2 hp unit, but then again I am the guy that says to save your money and by a Powermatic 66 if you want a table saw.
If you will only use it every once and a while, can get the cutters you want, and can't do the same thing with a router table then maybe its ok.
I have one of the grizzly 1 1/2 hp. shapers. It is a good machine for the money with all the different spindles. It does not have the horse to handle big panel raising bits but for smaller bits it works good.I use a 5 h.p. shaper for panel raising and some time it is to small.
Bob Savage
I have had a Powermatic #26 3 HP shaper for 10 years, along with their power feeder. It can do almost anything, including an attachemnt to use router bits.
I really like the power feeder so my hands and fingers NEVER get near that cutterhead. In additon, the smooth, constant feed rate of a power feeder is well worth the investment, especially if you have several hundred feet of stock to run through it.
It is well made and on a mobile base, as are most of the tools in my shop.
A 1-1/2 HP shaper will do light duty, and if that's all you need, then it will work. If you buy a more substantial one, however, it will do more and it will last forever.
I have a Delta drill press that I use that was made in 1949. It still has the original motor and works like a new one. I imagine it was pricy back when it was new. I bought it used for $40.
I have both the Grizzley 3 horse and 1.5 horse shapers. You'll find that you will have to spend a good bit of time initially getting the fense etc adjusted properly but after that you would enjoy either machine. I use the 3 horse for making door panels and have never heard it even start to sound like it is working hard. The 1.5 horse is used for making door rails and styles and it is highly adequate. Make your decision based on what you will use the machine for. If you are going to make a lot of heavy moldings the 3 horse is the better choice. Either machine works well with the router adapter and the larger router bits.
I've the reliant 3hp unit. It's cheaper than delta's, Grizzly (know of two sent back to grizzly) and powermatic. Not as refined a piece of machinery, BUT it has served me very, very well.
The worst part of the reliant unit ( from woodworkers warehouse)is the factory supplied hold downs work poorly and needed a little tweaking to make right.
Respect this tool! it is considered THE most dangerous in the shop. If you can afford a powerfeed unit get one. When I use blocks/boards/scraps as push blocks i apply self adhesive sandpaper to the edge ( keep it away from your cutters) this helps tremendously with keeping narrower pieces from being pulled into the cutter or heeling. Idealy, use a sled with hold downs. This is also a tool you definately want some dust control system attached to.
Kenneth Tamsula
I recently purchased Delta's Platinum Edition shaper. I started out with the Delta Router-Shaper (which is basically a dedicated router table). I made a lot of raised panel doors with it, but it was time to upgrade. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the machine, especially the re-designed fence. Adjustments are very easy to make.
I totally agree with one of the previous comments about the shaper being the most dangerous machine in the woodshop. Be careful! The power stock feeder is a good idea.
Lou, after reading your response to the shaper question I have one for you. A friend gave me an old Craftsman shaper. It looks sturdy enough with a cast table. I want to use it to make raised panel doors. It has a 1/2" spindle and 1/2 hp motor. Is this enough power to even do what I want to do? If the answer is yes do you know a source for cutters? A lot of the ones I've found have much larger i.d.'s.
Thanks, jake
Like most tools sold by sears they look good they just don't work good. 1/2 hp is not much for a shaper. Yes you can do what you want with it but, you will have to make lots of passes if you are working in hardwood. The 1/2 inch shaft is not an issue because there are bushings that will fit over the 3/4 shaft and allow it to fit on 1/2 inch. The nuts top and bottom are the holding agent not the friction of the shaft.
If you think about it you buy routers that are 2 to 3 hp and put them in a table to do this kind of thing, sears puts a 1/2 hp motor on a tool and sells it to people that think they are buying something useful.
The advantage is that if you buy 3/4 shaper cutters and decide that you like shapers then you could upgrade to a real tool in the future and not waste the investment in the cutters.

It might seem that the users have been taken over by the Pod People's attorneys, but the real motivation is an attempt by users to prevent Facebook from disclosing, disseminating, copying, selling or projecting on the side of a barn their personal information.
It's a hoax.
Users can't retroactively negate the terms of the agreements they agreed to when signing up for the service. That hasn't stopped people from posting them anyway.
Why? Because wild urban legends continue to exist. People believe Bill Gates will give them an iPad or the president is a legal resident of Liechtenstein. Yet it seems warnings about Facebook's schemes are more easily believed.
This tells me that Facebook has a perception problem that runs deeper than run-of-the-mill paranoia.
Part of this is the flip side of Facebook's agility. They dethroned MySpace and stayed on top in part by constantly tweaking and adding new features to the site. It's an impressive feat, but many users don't want constant change, even when they lead to better things.
But they don't always lead to better things. Never mind the uproar over timeline or the tweaks in the search algorithm that make the site decide you don't actually want to see posts from your wife. Facebook has long been plagued by overly complicated privacy controls, and several past glitches have exposed private data.
There are also new concerns surrounding Facebook's public company status and the renewed quest for revenue. If the site isn't shy about allowing you to pay money to promote a post, many people fear the next step is selling data outright.
Agility is one thing, but Facebook needs to become more transparent. Otherwise, people will assume they're up to no good and could likely try a new competitor.
App of the week: Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock (iOS)
Some days you spring out of bed, and some days you have to struggle to regain consciousness. That's because our sleep is governed in cycles that bounce back and forth between light and deep, but these cycles don't always align with your alarm clock. Sleep Cycle hopes to fix that and try to wake you up only when you're in a more shallow cycle.
The app works by staying on your bed near your pillow and measuring your movements with the accelerometer. Movements during deep sleep are different than movements during light sleep, so the phone can estimate your cycle. Then just set a 30-minute window for waking up, and the app will pick a time to make the start of the day as gentle as possible.

Microsoft sales reports conflict with other Windows 8 statistics
Microsoft announced last week that Windows 8 has sold 40 million copies so far, which is outpacing sales of Windows 7. That sounds like the operating system is off to a great start.
But other statistics muddy the picture. Research firm StatCounter announced near the same time that the actual number of computers using Windows 8 is closer to 15 million.
Why such a huge gap? I can only guess, but the answer may lie in licenses bought by computer manufacturers to install on their computers. But is it normal for manufacturers to stockpile 35 million copies of Windows, or has Microsoft cut them a deal to encourage advance sales? I don't know.
The company also noted it sold 75,000 Xbox 360s during Black Friday, which makes the lack of statistics for Microsoft's much-hyped Surface tablets a little eyebrow-raising.
New tech-geared TV series include reality show about fighting robots
If you're taking the time to read this column, then you might be interested in two new tech-related TV shows that have been announced. AMC has ordered a pilot for a show called "Halt and Catch Fire," a fictionalized drama about computer visionaries hoping to change the course of computing in the 1980s.
That might sound dull as dishwater, but remember "The Social Network," the film about the founding of Facebook, managed to be fascinating. Not to mention the '80s really were rife with innovation, ambition and more than a little backstabbing. So it might be worth a shot.
The other show is "Robot Combat League," a reality show on Syfy (Cox cable channel 45) about real-life, 1,000-pound robots that can stand on two legs and beat the silicon stuffing out of each other. This one starts Feb. 26 in case you want to see giant androids punching each other in the face. And who wouldn't?

PORTLAND, Ore. -- His buzzer-beating 3-pointer was still under review but Jordan Crawford knew it was good. And so did his Washington Wizards teammates, who engulfed him in a dogpile on the floor of the Rose Garden.
"If I could get the game ball you know I would keep it," Crawford said after his 30-foot-jumper beat the clock and gave Washington a 98-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
Crawford's fadeaway and a corner 3-pointer gave the Wizards an 82-75 lead, their largest to that point, with just more than 7 minutes left in the game.
Rookie Damian Lillard's dunk pulled the Blazers to 91-90 with 2:21 left. Former Blazer Martell Webster and John Wall answered with consecutive dunks, but Lillard added a layup and Wesley Matthews hit a 3-pointer to tie it with 7.9 seconds left.
Crawford's game winner was reviewed but it didn't stop the Wizards' celebration.
"I just wanted to get a clean look, make a good play," Crawford said. "John (Wall) set the play; we wanted to get the defence moving and I got open. Tonight I was able to make it. I knew that shot had a chance."
Nicolas Batum had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double, but the Blazers lost their season-high sixth straight. The French forward was the first Portland player to have a triple-double since 2008.
"I don't really count it," Batum said about his feat. "We got swept by the Wizards this year."
The Wizards (9-30) have won four of their last six games -- which coincides with the return of Wall, who missed the team's first 33 games with a stress injury in his left kneecap. In his first five games, Wall averaged 15.6 points and 7.6 assists. Playing off the bench against the Blazers, he had six points and two assists.
Nene and Webster each had a season-high 24 points to lead the Wizards, who won just their third on the road this season.
Webster called Crawford's buzzer-beater amazing.
"I told him when we were diagraming the play, 'If you are wide open, shoot it. If not, you catch the ball and get into your rhythm and do your thing.' He's good at that. Really good. Give the guy some room and he can do some damage."
Washington opened the season with a 12 game losing streak -- the franchise's worst-ever start -- that was snapped by an 84-82 victory at home against the Blazers.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 17 points and 12 rebounds for Portland (20-21), which lost its fourth straight at home after a nine-game winning streak. Lillard finished with 18 points.
"We need to win a game. I don't think anyone is worried or panicked. We just need to win a game," Lillard said.
Nene scored 10 points in the first four minutes for the Wizards, who led by as many as seven points early. The Blazers went ahead 21-19 on Lillard's 20-foot pull-up jumper, but couldn't hang on to the lead and Washington finished the first quarter ahead 34-31. Nene had 17 points in the first period alone.
The Wizards led until J.J. Hickson's dunk and free throw gave Portland a 42-40 edge midway through the second quarter.
Rookie Meyers Leonard's long jumper and a layup to extended the Blazers' lead to 48-40. Leonard was making his return after missing 11 games with a right ankle injury.
But the Wizards closed out the half with a 10-3 run to narrow it to 51-50 for Portland at the break.
The Blazers held off the Wizards in the third quarter but surrendered the lead when Emeka Okafor's free throw put Washington ahead 60-59. Webster made a 3-pointer that made it 63-61 for Washington.
The Wizards closed out the quarter with a 15-5 run to make it 69-64, but Ronnie Price narrowed it with a 3-pointer to open the final period.
"I always like to say the basketball gods usually even everything out. We've been on the other end of this so many times this year," Washington coach Randy Wittman said. "Our guys are sticking with it, learning, and making plays down the stretch when we have to."
NOTES: Washington's 34 first-quarter points were a season high. ... The Blazers' 13 points in the third quarter were a season low. ... All of the Blazers' starters finished in double figures. ... Batum's triple-double was just the third by a Blazer at the Rose Garden. ... It was Portland's 10th consecutive game that has been decided by six points or fewer, an ongoing franchise record. ... Washington won both meetings against the Blazers for the first time since the 2004-05 season.

Is there a doctor in the house?
For the Week of January 28, 2008
It's so nice to have Angie back in the fold, talking with Tad or taking charge at the hospital, but nothing tops last week's final scene, where viewers first laid eyes on Jesse Hubbard.
After watching the past five days of All My Children, I've come to a decision: I need medical help. Apparently, I'm hallucinating. I recognize all the people on the TV screen, but they are acting completely out of character.
Take Zach and Greenlee, for example. This week, I saw Greenlee instinctively locate Zach when even his wife couldn't find him. I saw Zach all but tell Greens he couldn't imagine his life without her (I can, Zach, if you need some help with that). I saw Greenlee impulsively hug Zach and thank him for his friendship. I clearly need medication.
Honestly, is anyone buying this instant friendship? Sure, I expected them to call a truce after everything they went through, but to completely wipe out everything that's happened in the past year and have them sitting on a porch chatting like old pals? It just doesn't compute. Of course, all of that almost-killing-Spike-and-Ian stuff happened when the Fake Greenlee was on the scene, so, by AMC's logic, all should be forgotten.
As much as it pains me to say it, it really looks like they might be setting up something for Greenlee and Zach down the road. Now, I don't necessarily assume that it will be a full-blown romance (though that might just be because I cannot wrap my head around such a ridiculous, hideous idea). Once the truth comes out about Kendall and Aidan's plot device - um, I mean, one-night stand - Zach and Greenlee might have a revenge romp. No, it won't make sense, but that's never stopped these writers before.
Hubbard Homecoming
Before any of the horrible scenarios I have running through my head can actually play out, however, Greenlee has to be miraculously cured. Thankfully, this leads me to the best part of the week - the return of Angie and Jesse Hubbard.
I'm done complaining about how this comeback was overshadowed by the other, over-advertised return (OK, [i]now[/i] I'm done), because I'd rather focus on how much I've enjoyed the Hubbards so far. It's so nice to Angie back in the fold, talking with Tad or taking charge at the hospital. I'm even willing to overlook the fact that people didn't recognize Frankie, just because I love watching him and his mom so much. When Opal brought that photo of Angie and Jesse, I got a little teary.
But nothing tops the last scene of the week, the first time we laid eyes on Jesse Hubbard. Yes, he's supposed to be dead. Yes, he died in Angie's arms. Yes, he's appeared numerous times as a very-dead angel. You know what, though? I don't care. This storyline has me feeling something I haven't felt about AMC in months - excited.
I knew exactly how and when Jesse would come back and it didn't lessen the impact of the reveal one bit. I was just genuinely happy to see him. I can't wait until he gets to interact with Tad, and when he finally comes face-to-face with Angie, I'll be on the edge of my seat. Of course, I'm still terrified the writers will screw this up and push the Hubbards to the backburner in a New York minute, but for right now, I'm happy.
Searching for Kate
Unfortunately, while I'm waiting for Tad to stumble upon his old pal, alive and well, I have to watch him hang out with his "wife," Krystal, who's taking it upon herself to find Kate. Well, actually, she's forcing JR to do it for her.
After Adam tried to blackmail her into marriage by promising to reveal Kate's whereabouts, Krystal convinced Junior to move back in with dear old Dad to figure out what he knows. Of course, JR being JR, went over and immediately overplayed his hand. Within about 20 minutes, he had already started talking about Tad and Kate and came [i]this close[/i] to getting caught breaking into Adam's safe.
Does anyone think this plot is really going to work? Watching Junior try to outsmart his father is pretty pathetic. He may have inherited Adam's mean streak, but he certainly lost out on the intelligence. And isn't a bit much to watch Krystal, of all people, trying to reunite a parent with their long lost child? That must be a quality she developed [i]after[/i] she kept Miranda from Bianca for nearly a year. And after she abandoned her plan to keep Tad's other daughter from him [i]forever[/i].
The Same Old Ryan
In Lavery news, Annie finally got tested to see if she was a bone marrow match for Richie, just before he was about to kidnap Emma and force her hand. Of course, Annie some conditions - namely, that Richie leave town and stop torturing her after the transplant. She also made him sign a full confession as an insurance policy. That would be really clever if it wasn't completely ridiculous.
The most unintentionally hilarious scene of the week had to be Ryan and Annie congratulating themselves over the shrewd little maneuver. As Ryan babbled on about how they could drop off their obviously inadmissible confession off with the cops if Richie kept causing trouble, all I could hear was Richie, three months from now, pleading his case to Derek and the Keystone Kops. "Yes, I signed the confession. But I was dying, and Annie said she wouldn't save my life if I didn't confess to all her crazy lies! I love my sister, but honestly, I'm really worried about her. She needs help." [i]That[/i] will be fun.
Also, I don't understand why people were so shocked when Ryan attacked Richie. I know Annie wasn't around during his fight club heyday, but all that seemed perfectly in character to me. Not to mention that Annie's evaluation of the situation made no sense - she characterized it as "out of the blue." Um, honey, your husband just found out that you agreed to save the life of the man who has been terrorizing your family for months. I think that could push someone over the edge, especially when that person is Ryan Lavery. She can blame it on the gunshot wound all she wants, but to me that's just vintage Ryan. With his past anger management issues, his behavior this week wasn't exactly a stretch.
Speaking of Ryan's past, there's something I just have to address before I end this week's column.
Spoil Sport
[b]WARNING: This section deals with scenes that haven't aired yet. If you want to be surprised, just skip to the next section.[/b]
Remember, in my last column, how I mentioned AMC was regressing, revisiting storylines that had been tried (and that failed)? Well, I guess the writers felt they were being a bit too metaphorical, because this week, they are actually turning back the clock. Ryan Lavery is going to wake up with amnesia, with no memory of the last four years of his life.
Yep, that's right beleaguered AMC fans! The powers-that-be have taken a long, hard look at the show, listened to your complaints and concerns, and have decided you would be much happier in the year 2004. Considering the staggering number of mistakes they've made in the last four years, I guess it's somewhat understandable. If Ryan completely forgets falling for Greenlee, almost punching her in the face, driving off a cliff to avoid parenthood, treating Kendall like an incubator, and various other bonehead moves, doesn't that mean the audience will forget, too? In a word: no.
I guess the whole Zach/Kendall/Greenlee/Aidan debacle wasn't quite convoluted enough for the writers' tastes, because this little twist drags Annie and Ryan into the mess, too. Now, all Ryan will be able to remember will be his "love" for Kendall. Well, isn't that just super?! You're already ticking off fans by trying to put Greenlee in the middle of your most popular couple, why not throw Ryan back in there as well (for the hundredth time, no less).
All I can hope for is that this will somehow lead to a Ryan/Greenlee reunion. After all, 2004 was about the time Greens started plotting to steal him from her "sister;" maybe this will kickstart her feelings for him again. Sounds crazy, does it? Well, you should know to never underestimate the incredible psychic connection between the Green Butterfly and her Dynamite Kiddo. I know I sure as hell haven't.
Charmed, I'm Sure
Finally, as you likely know by now, the book that Kendall wrote on the show,
, is actually going to be sold in stores, starting in February. Now, this is not the type of thing I would normally purchase, but I'm going to anyway. (My reason can be summed up in two words: Alicia Minshew.) I'm sure the book storyline will end up being a way to build Kendall up before she gets torn down, but what can I say? I'm a Kendall/Alicia fan at heart. Oh, and before you ask: no, I'm not going to run out and buy a truckload of Campbell's Soup.
That's it for me, guys. See you in two weeks.

In addition to the preliminary injunction, the judge offered proposed relief that is similar to the relief sought by the plaintiffs in Floyd v. City of New York, where the judge in 2012 certified a city-wide class of plaintiffs challenging the allegedly widespread practice of stopping young men, many of them black and Hispanic, without reasonable suspicion (NYLJ, May 17, 2012).
Trial in Floyd, 08 Civ. 1034, is scheduled to begin March 11 and because the plaintiffs are no longer pursuing money damages and are now seeking injunctive relief, it will be a bench trial before Scheindlin.
Because Floyd and Ligon dovetail in many respects, Scheindlin said yesterday that the remedy hearing in Ligon will be held in conjunction with the Floyd trial.
The proposed relief includes a formal, written policy on the "limited circumstances" in which police can make a stop on suspicion of trespass outside of a TAP building and the order that supervisors require UF-250s be completed for every trespass stop outside of TAP buildings.
The city's Law Department had argued that the Police Department has already stepped up its training on the parameters of proper searches under the TAP program.
But Scheindlin said the training was inadequate and that NYPD training materials "continue to misstate the minimal constitutional standards for making stops." Some of the training materials introduced by the defendants, she said, "may serve to further entrench the problem of these unconstitutional stops."
She raised the possibility of appointing a monitor who would review drafts of written or scripted training materials that would be submitted to the court as part of the proposed remedies.
The judge also said she recognized that alterations to training materials might involve "training materials outside of the Bronx and outside the context of TAP. But such steps are necessary to correct the longstanding misconceptions that led to the violations of plaintiffs' constitutional rights."
The judge said it is possible that training efforts already underway might ultimately work, and said she would dissolve the injunction if the city produces statistics showing they have led to a change in department practices.
Scheindlin also said she was "keenly aware that this Court does not stand in the shoes of the Police Department and is in no way qualified or empowered to engage in policy determinations," and that her job is to interpret and apply the law.

Among the activities that we conduct as ATF instructors, working with the crew aboard fishing vessels is the most difficult to accurately quantify. We can identify a seabird to species or sub-species level, record the exact times of fishing operations, statistically demonstrate the efficiency of mitigation measures but working at-sea with members of the fishing crew is different. It is a deeply social aspect of our work that includes listening as much as talking, understanding as much as convincing.
As ATF instructors we spend a lot of time at the stern of the vessel, and the interaction with these people is continuous. The results are not easily palpable. How successful has our work with a fishing crew been? How can we know that we are achieving our objectives in this regard? Many times we find difficult individuals who are completely sceptical of mitigation measures but also the opposite is true. We regularly find fishers who are willing to listen, to give their opinion and to discuss ideas but above all we find people that respect the sea and its inhabitants.
This is the case of two very different members of two different vessels: Claudio and Pedro. Both occupy the post of ship's boson, whose duties include directing fishing operations and manoeuvres on deck.
Below: Pedro works the winches on deck with his ATF Argentina cap
With over 22 years of experience on board, Claudio commented that "Many years ago there were many more albatrosses than we see today. It is clear that populations have declined." Pedro has worked at-sea for over 17 years and always wears his ATF Argentina cap on deck. He has learnt to recognise many of the species that interact with the ship and is able to precisely separate the "age class" of many birds and on calm days attracts dolphins by whistling!
During the first days of a recent trip, my colleague Nahuel was astounded by the crew's collaboration, interest and willingness to learn. Nahuel asked Claudio what drove the interest of the crew to help save the albatross. Claudio explained with a humble look, but the firmness of a worker that: "They also have the right to live"
While we cannot easily or accurately record how the social aspect of our work with fishers, we know that thanks to the ATF there are more Pedros and Claudios. By finding more ambassadors for respecting marine life, we can move toward our main objective - more birds at sea!

The sub-Antarctic islands and fjords in southern Chile together form a complex geographic area with thousands of components of archipelagos and marine channels. In this region, also known as Chilean (western) Patagonia, there are important breeding sites for seabirds. Among these, two of the most important islands are Diego Ramirez and Ildefonso, which together hold over 20% of the global population of Black-browed Albatross Thalassarche melanophrys.
Along the Chilean coast, seabird species overlap with different fishing activities including industrial and artisanal fisheries. In addition, this part of Patagonia supports other productive activities such as Salmon farming. One such area is the Chonos Archipelago at 45°S.
Globally, interactions between seabirds and commercial fishing activities have been well documented but little information is available regarding the impacts of the more traditional fishing practices on seabird populations. Chilean researchers have recently published a study entitled: Fishermen's perceptions of interactions between seabirds and artisanal fisheries in the Chonos archipelago, Chilean Patagonia which can be found in the conservation journal Oryx.
Below: artisanal fishing vessel on the Chonos archipelago in Chile. Cristian Suazo.
By means of interviews with fishermen, questionnaires and field-based observations the authors determined the extent to which artisanal fisheries interact with and affect seabirds in the fjords and channels of the Chonos Archipelago. This is one of the most poorly-studied regions in Chile because of its geographic isolation and extreme weather conditions.
Fishermen demonstrated a positive perception of seabirds as useful indicators of marine productivity and in their role scavenging fish waste and discards associated with fishing operations. However, fishermen also established seasonal camps to collect seabird eggs and adults for food or bait and introduced feral predators [such as domestic dogs] to islands with seabird breeding colonies.
Minimal bycatch events were recorded due to their fishing gear characteristics, which included a fast sink rate for longlines. As a counterpart to their negative impacts, local knowledge from fishermen on marine biodiversity is critical for the future of community-based conservation of the region's marine resources and biodiversity. Fishers also bring us a key view of past and current changes in seabird behaviour related to fisheries. They observe local and regional environmental changes from the impacts of an expanding and large-scale aquaculture activity on the distribution and abundance of seabirds along this part of Patagonia.
This study was supported by the Pacific Seabird Group through the Craig S. Harrison Conservation Grant and the Association of Field Ornithologists through the E. Alexander Bergstrom Memorial Research Award.
For a three-week period, the publication of this research can be found as online free access at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0030605311001815 (with supplementary material).
The European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) is a group of companies, which provide grants to support the environment. This year our very own Albatross Task Force has been selected as a candidate to win over £20,000 of funding in the 'nature' category.
The project was nominated by Páramo, who are also generously supporting the Albatross Task Force with waterproof kit which will keep our instructors warm and toasty when they are at-sea! Páramo regularly support RSPB projects - contributing every time you buy here - and saving you money too.
The nominated ATF project focuses specifically on Namibia, which is one of the world's worst 'blackspots' for seabird mortality through interactions with fishing fleets. Research indicates that about 31,000 birds are killed every year by Namibia's long-line and trawl fishing fleets, including huge numbers of albatrosses and threatened species of petrel.
We will work with fishermen to raise their awareness of the problem and encourage them to use simple, low-cost measures to dramatically reduce this mortality. In addition, we will work with the Namibian government and fishing industry to implement national plans and policies to reduce seabird deaths.
Our aim is reduce seabird deaths by 50% by the end of the project (March 2014) and by at least 80% in the longer term.
So we need your help and it couldn't be easier...
Please vote now and we can secure vital funding for ATF Namibia!
Thank you.

Every year BirdLife South Africa gathers a congregation of very knowledgeable scientists and birders to discuss issues around bird conservation. This annual gathering has since been coined 'FLOCK' and it is BirdLife South Africa's Annual General Meeting (AGM). This year, however was pretty different with the largest number of attendants and a lot of relevant conservation lectures given to the audience. It also included seabird guiding offered by our very experienced and local professional bird guides. Lastly, this spectacle was held at sea for the first time on board the luxurious MSC Opera cruise ship. The theme for this year was all about seabird conservation and the Albatross Task Force South Africa was nominated as the beneficiary of profits made from booking sales.
Prior to the departure, an e-TV chopper hovered around and above us taking photos that were later broadcast on our local e-TV channel. As one can imagine, any medium satellite or otherwise, would have not missed such an opportunity to capture thousands of bird-lovers with binoculars and medium to super-sized camera lenses around their necks united in a united message for seabird conservation. The ATF and BirdLife South Africa has submitted a record attempt to the Guinness World records for organizing the largest gathering of birders in one area in Africa at one time.
We sailed from Cape Town to Walvis Bay in Namibia. We spent three days and nights at sea doing seabird guiding and offering public talks on issues around seabirds and their conservation. Most of the lectures were about the plight of the majestic albatross. It was just an amazing experience to have over 1000 birders from all the 9 provinces of South Africa. For many of those birders it was their first time to see an albatross and it was certainly top of the list for them. We were privileged to have on board the renowned professional birder, screenwriter, artist and author Peter Harrison, MBE. He gave lectures on the conservation of the albatross and all his lectures were attended by over 1000 thousand people and the lecture venues were filled to beyond capacity. People couldn't stop raving about his lectures and most came to us wanting recorded audio lectures he's given during the cruise.
For the ATF instructors it was just a wonderful experience to be around these birders and also to formally put our seabird identification skills to practice and showcase our often understated love for these seabirds. As ATF instructors, the sea is our second home and our sphere of influence. Some of our instructors helped with seabird guiding at designated bird watching stations on various decks. One of the memories that still linger in my mind was to witness the absolute awe and elation demonstrated by 1000 birders when one of the bird guides spotted a Black-browed albatross Thalassarche Melanophrys. One could have thought they had just won 1 million US dollars. It thrilled me as an ATF instructor to bear witness to such sheer joy and admiration of the majestic and yet elusive albatross.
We landed in Cape Town on the fifth day after such an awesome sea expedition and people could not hold back their smiles and continued to appreciate the wonderful work we do in conserving seabirds in fisheries. These have in more ways than one humbled and motivated us to go an extra-mile in working towards a zero seabird mortality within fisheries.
As the Albatross Task Force team leader for South Africa, I was recently asked to provide some fishery observer training slightly further from home than usual. Excitingly I was to travel to Korea and conduct a one-day training workshop with Korean fisheries observers and scientists from the South East Atlantic Trawl Fishery.
BirdLife South Africa and the Albatross Task Force were invited to the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) in Busan. The South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO) and scientists of the NFRDI did a great job in organising the travel plans and after much anticipation, the time arrived to depart Cape Town, South Africa on the arduous two day journey to Korea. I arrived at the institute and spent some time going through my presentations with the lady given the task of translating during the workshop – Mikyung Lee. Mikyung was brilliant especially considering she is not a professional translator and doesn't have background knowledge of seabird conservation and research!
There was a great turnout: 25 enthusiastic and interested people (5 young scientists, 7 scientists and 15 observers). During the day we ran through topics such as how to assess the risks to seabirds in trawl fisheries, the best practise solutions available to mitigate mortality, safe handling of seabirds, seabird identification and the collection of important data while out at sea. I was treated to a true Korean-style lunch and even had time for a quick visit to the Haedong Yonggungsa Temple right next to the institute (with my 'official' guide – Mikyung Lee)!
Below: Bronwyn at the Haedong Yonggungsa temple
The day ended with a fun identification game where participants had to correctly identify the seabirds from less-than-perfect photographs– the competition to get it right was fierce! The observers and scientists asked many valuable questions and expressed how much they learnt. The experience was amazing, the people involved were professional, accommodation was great and the workshop was a success – it represented the first time an NGO has worked with the Asian distant water fishing fleet. This promises to be the start of a long-lasting relationship with Korean fisheries.
I would like to thank SEAFO for their role. Their scientists saw the need to collect data on seabird-trawl interactions, and the Commissioners agreed to fund my travel to Busan to carry out this important training.

In my world, this abberant perverted immoral filth will never have any legitimate "marraige". They can practice their delusional lifestyle, and be free to do so, but marraige is between a man and a woman, and that fact predates America, and is God's law, man cannot change this. Liberals are such deluded fools, and I believe them to be mentally challenged.

This story was FANTASTIC. Searching for a story to rekindle my long-forgotten love of fanfiction, I stumbled upon your story and was absolutely entranced. Moving on to the next few! Report Review
oh my god wat is with the words like big toe replacing mouth and underwear replacing tone and purse replacing the word face??? Im gonna have to stop reading this soon... its really getting on my nerves Report Review
wat the??? why are there words like hareyebrow and using the word banana for wand, and calling eyes puppies??? gah its really annoying... Report Review
So i dont reveiw often but i love your story its hilarious and serious at the same time you are really good at what you do Report Review
Nice story!! I really liked Basil and the other members of the band! But. I think you got Quirrells name wrong :) His name was actually Quirinus Quirrell :D I got very bound to this story as I red it, and I think you have done an amazing job. Keep writing! Report Review
ok, so i was howling all over the floor at the "Are you sure he isn't just a...dried up old fogey?" i dunno why, but i couldn't stop laughing! :D you've done a great job on this story, and you haven't disappointed me in any way-- yet. i look forward to reading the next year, where hopefully kerri will find out a hell lot more about her mother's side of the family and snape's past with lily than she known right now.. anyway, i like what i've just finished reading and i'm looking eagerly forward to the sequel. :) Report Review
OK, i'm normally a silent reader that just goes through a story and occasionally posts a review on the last chapter. BUT i couldn't resist this one. i'm loving the kerri-snape relationship more than i can express! never loves snape more, infact. good gob! i'm reading through and hopefully you will not disappoint me. looking forward to the kerri-remus unision. :D Report Review
I love this story. It's amazing, interesting, and well-written. But I think the thing I like most about it is the characters. They're so real, so believable, that it's almost like I actually met them. Please, keep writing! Report Review
I know you probably wont ever read this but this story was incredible!! Fantastic writing!! Thanks heaps Report Review
Hey there! I've just finished reading this and I really enjoyed it! I particularly loved your characterisation of Snape. I thought you wrote him really well, his speech sounded great and his behaviour was all well explained and rational, just as I like it :D I have to say, my favourite minor characters are Ryann and Jill, not really sure why though. I'd love to read more about them, anyways :D I love the letters between her and Charlie, and how little references of them pop up in later chapters and in different places. I had a few little giggles reading them, which is always good. I had a great time reading, can't wait to get onto the second year! Thanks for taking the time to write. :D x Report Review
Ohh, the sexual tension is KILLING me! And it's almost heartbreaking, the way Kerri so casually condems herself to living without a happy ending. 10/10, and might I just say that this story is addicting? You definately deserve your Dobbys. Report Review
I love this so much, your so talented. I stayed up all night to read this and now its on to the sequel (L) Remus and Kerri (L)Author's Response: Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Report Review
I love the part when Kerri is telling Severus her views on Potions. I've been trying to tell people that it would be easy if you just follow the instructions for years!Author's Response: It seems like it would be like following a recipe. Just pay attention. (This means you, Harry!!) Report Review
So frikin great lived it so very much and I can't wait to read the next three. I read the whole first book in about 2 to 3 days I kind of lost count cause I spent so much time staring at the computer screen wondering how a such a genius could make such a fantabulous story. Oh and by the way you are now my new favorite author!Author's Response: Wow, thanks. Reviews like these always blow me away. Report Review
I'm glad I don't have a brother. Especially not my favorite character in the whole HP series Snape. If you search Severus Snape and go to last page u will see evidence that snape was there on the night the Potters died. I'm going to watch the movies... again! I saw HP and the deathly hallows 1 on opening week.Author's Response: I wouldn't mind having Snape for a brother because he does take pretty good care of Kerri. (Though you might not like year 3 because they spend it arguing about Remus). I didn't go see Deathly Hallows and don't plan to. Every character that I love was killed in it so I think it would be very depressing. Report Review
OMG. I have never been one for romance novels, but... I love wolves and Snape. I can't believe that my search for Severus Snape brought up the fourth one of this.Author's Response: Did it? Wow. I'm amazed that it's that high in the searches. Maybe because of it's length and the fact that I keep actively adding into it. Report Review
Wow. How many words did you write in your chapters? I usually write only 500. You have 55 chapters... I only have 2 in my longest story... :,(Author's Response: I never count words but most of my chapter run to about 12 pages on average. Some of the more important ones run for 20. Report Review
this is always the best. I've been reading it for a day and a quarter.Author's Response: It always amazes me that people have the patience to read anything I've written for that length of time. Report Review
Wow. One thing. I just noticed that you only showed part of the original HP quote. The full quote is: "There is no good or evil. Only power and those too weak to seek it."Author's Response: You're the first person to have caught that, that I'm aware of. Report Review
Wow. This is getting better by the chapter, and this is only the first book!Author's Response: Thanks. Glad you like it. Report Review
This is AMAZING. I could never write like this.Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Report Review
That was amazing. I love wolves and my favorite character is Snape. This totally ROCKS! I WOULD GIVE IT AN INFINITY/INFINITY FOR A RATING IF I COULD!Author's Response: Thanks. Snape was my second favorite character when I began this series but now I think he's become my favorite. I set out here to show the side of him that we don't see in canon. The Harry Potter series is mostly biased against him because it's all told from Harry's point of view and of course he hates Snape. We don't see the good things that he did that Harry wasn't even aware of. We don't get to see many of his good character traits until he dies. That's the thing that I wanted to change. Sometimes people tell me that my story has changed their whole opinion about Snape and that's always very gratifying. Report Review
Thank you very much for putting previews of the next chapter at the end of each chapter. It's really nice for when I have to stop reading.Author's Response: Really? Some people actually complained that it was distracting. I did eventually quit doing it because I no longer write far enough ahead that I have completed scenes to preview. I wish that I did. Report Review
The addition of Lockhart is perfect! I love how you manage to keep all of the characters themselves and yet still throw them into really creative situations. This is a really addicting story!Author's Response: Thanks. It's result of way too much time on my hands. I deliver newspapers so I have a lot of time to just think, which is where I get most of my ideas. Poor Lockhart almost becomes a running joke in this story and then Snape has to deal with him in the next. Report Review
I really like the way you're writing this; the letters and journal entries are really neat. I love stories written like this!!Author's Response: Glad you're enjoying it. Originally I bumped heads with the staff here over the letter-journal entry format. I didn't realize it was forbidden and one of them overlooked it and accidentally permitted eight chapters to go through before realizing the mistake. I had to actually stop calling the journal entries what they are in order for the series to be legal again. This way I'm happy because I can continue posting and the staff is happy because I'm not technically breaking any rules. The journal entries are still journal entries, just no longer marked as such after about the 8th chapter. I came very close to scrapping this whole project back then and I'm so glad I didn't have to.
