Potter's Charm by Secret Lily
Rated: [Reviews - 2502]
All's fair in love and war
Lily thinks herself too clever to fall for James Potters charm. Yet, as the two of them are appointed Head Boy and Girl, will Lily regret her negative feelings towards James? Pre-HBP
Lily, youve got to get me out of here, James begged.
Why? Lily asked. Whats so wrong with gaining back your health?
That nurse is insane, James assured her. Without Sirius and Remus here, shes going to devote all her services to me! Shes a blasted scary broad, let me tell you.
Lily laughed and kissed him on the forehead.
Ill be back later, she said to him. I have classes. Get better, James.
He nodded his head in recognition, still glancing nervously over at Madam Pomfrey.
Scary wench, he muttered when the nurse began singing to herself, something about marrying into the Potter family.
Funny and romantic. Wat could be better?
I sure am glad James made it out of that mad nurses care, Sirius spoke at an extremely loud volume. Remus looked as if his ear had been blown away and left for dead.
Mr. Black, Professor Flitwick countered. I am teaching a class here. Please do use your inside voice.
I am, Sirius insisted, the volume of his voice still heightened.
He cant seem to control the volume of his voice, sir, Lily called out. Someone must have put a Shouting Jinx on him.
Is that what happened? Sirius bellowed. Beastly luck, that is. I was
Its hell being your sister sometimes, Mac said quietly.
Well, its something youre going to have to live with, Addison said, hugging her sister.
tht was a sweet moment
Aw, what a dear. I cant believe that. So sweet, the woman said. Quickly her features changed and became masculine.
And also, so masterful! Sirius said, lifting Lily up.
Sirius?!? Lily asked, shocked.
Thats a Marauder for you, James said, walking over.
James, she pinned it on you! Not the lifeguard. She is so in, Sirius said.
Welcome to the Marauders, James said, giving her a hug. Awesome!!!
James looked up at her. He mouthed something she would never forget and she knew he meant it.
1- James
2- Addy
3- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
4- Lily, youve got to get me out of here, James begged.
Why? Lily asked. Whats so wrong with gaining back your health?
That nurse is insane, James assured her. Without Sirius and Remus here, shes going to devote all her services to me! Shes a blasted scary broad, let me tell you.
Lily laughed and kissed him on the forehead.
Ill be back later, she said to him. I have classes. Get better, James.
He nodded his head in recognition, still glancing nervously over at Madam Pomfrey.
Scary wench, he muttered when the nurse began singing to herself, something about marrying into the Potter family.
5- Of course
6- Well DUH L/J
7- Sirius giving Snape a swirley or Atomic Wedgie
8- ... When James went out with Maimee I mean REALLY!!
9- Joining Cat Lovers Anynomus
10- Yes i have
He knew everything would be fine between them, at least for that moment.
Have I ever told you that at this angle, youre interesting to look at? Sirius asked. Addison noticed he hadnt used the word beautiful, but interesting. That was a rather odd choice of words.
Oh, you really think so Sirius? Mac asked.
Wait-no I dont, Sirius said, frowning.
At that precise moment, a tentacle jumped out of the lake and wrapped itself loosely around Macs waist. It held tight enough to hold her but loose enough to not do any harm. Sirius happened to speak Squid and had fed instructions to the Giant Squid, with whom he had practiced his charm as well.
I take that back Mac, now I think you look interesting, Sirius said, laughing.
James held out a letter and gave it to Sirius. Lily was crying still, as was Sirius.
Its for you, James said, addressing the letter.
Your palm is a key part of your body, Sirius explained. That is where you hold your bread.
Lily, James, and Remus looked at each other rather curiously. Sirius had no idea how over the edge he had gone.
Everyone close your eyes. We are now going to try and reach a state of nirvana for the simple reason that a kinetic energy will flow through out veins, thus allowing the property of pain to travel to our palms, Sirius said, his eyes closed.
He opened them and saw an empty room.
Some people just dont have what it takes to be proficient in the craft of martial arts, Sirius sighed.
My Experience As A Girl
Written by the Pouncing Padfoot
My life is like watermelon. I dont have to use ink to write with my quill. I need to find out who supplies Lily with so called drugs. I am a lawsuit fiend. Odd lads wear unusual pants. You better listen people, Im talking now! I dont like you! Take that brutal honesty. You swim freely in the vast waters and ocean trenches. Dont die little fishies! Dont be a sissy man! There are girls watching! Learn to spell! I am not saying her name out loud! Peeves, when you cry, I cry. I got my period once.
Sirius was sniffling rather loudly, wiping a tear from his eye. He had never felt so choked up. He knew the others felt the same. He turned to see the members of the SBFC crying as well and applauding. He turned to his friends, who were pale and rather scared.
You got your period once? Lily asked, clearly appalled.
Very VERY funny. Siruis and shaving legs. Could it get more hilarous? Seriously keeling over right now!
And its cats, James sniffed displeasingly. I hate cats.
You never told me that, Lily said.
Theyre like rodents with fir, James explained. Horrible little buggers. I cant believe my best mate would join such a distasteful club. Full of rodent worshippers. Theyre evil.
I like cats, Remus defensively stated.
I did not just hear that, James said.
But- Remus stammered.
I did not just hear that, he repeated.
Whats wrong with cats? Peter asked, joining the conversation.
Whats wrong with cats you ask me? James bellowed as though it was the most preposterous question on Earth. Theyre sneaky little devils. If you dont watch them, while youre sleeping, theyll come and suck your eyes out with their mouth. Ive seen it done.
Can I ask you something? Sirius asked, pointing his wand at the mans chest.
Black, is it? Voldemort asked. Are you as black as youre painted?
No, let me ask the questions, Sirius intervened, still deathly serious. Do you like cats?
Cats? Voldemort contemplated in an amused voice. I can honestly say that I do. Stealth creatures, they are.
Prongs, Sirius called. You were right. I believe you. Cats are officially evil.
though i love cats now i used 2 consider them evil.( part of me still does)

Memorable Quotes from last chapter
Dont talk to me about those fools, Sirius grunted. That Bob Bronchif is one lousy president. Spreading lies about him being some Norwegian tea kettle or something along those lines. He mentioned you Lily. I reckon hes in the LEFC as well.
He wouldnt be the only one either, Remus snorted.
James shifted his hand uncomfortably. He coughed awkwardly.
I have no idea what youre talking about, he spoke. They all erupted in hysterics.
You were the president in your fifth year, Sirius pointed out.
You had badges, Remus went on.
And t-shirts, Sirius continued.
Everything but me, Lily teased, sticking her tongue out.
Lily, were you secretly in the JPFC? Sirius questioned.
No, she said. But I was in the SBFC.
All three Marauders stopped walking to look at her in a complete state of shock.
You call yourselves Marauders, she laughed. Cant even take a joke. Do I look like a groupie to you?
Well, I always thought you had a distinctive- Sirius started. Lily slapped his arm.
No, he finished. You dont look like a groupie.
Peter Pettigrew Fan Club? James hissed. Is there such thing?
I was thinking Poor Petey Fan Club. I think that ticked him off though, Sirius mumbled.
It was a beautiful painting of their year together. There was Sirius on his trampoline with nun-chucks in his hands.
No, let me ask the questions, Sirius intervened, still deathly serious. Do you like cats?
Cats? Voldemort contemplated in an amused voice. I can honestly say that I do. Stealth creatures, they are.
Prongs, Sirius called. You were right. I believe you. Cats are officially evil.
Chapter 44-Bullet and a Target
But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away
Voldemort flicked his wand and instantly, a park bench unhinged itself from the ground and came lunging straight at the four of them.
Wingardium Leviosa! Lily cried, immobilizing the bench with her wand. She leveled it back onto the ground, keeping eye contact with Voldemort.
His Death Eaters all hissed at the prospect of a Mudblood.
The street in which they battled was clearly deserted. The sky was slowly shifting, the clouds blocking most of the crescent moonlight. Hogwarts castle could distantly be seen. It would be a good half and hour before Dumbledore received his message.
Sirius narrowed his eyes unpleasantly, feeling the contempt feeling of rage penetrate throughout his veins. James wand was unleashed before him, willingly open to defend.
Remus was waiting, wand at the ready, casting his sharp eyes over the group. No one had any idea what Voldemort was doing in Hogsmeade, on James eighteenth birthday no less.
Voldemort grinned, not even wearing his predictable mask. His face wasnt shielded, his eyes were scarlet and cruel. He was the man that everyone feared, the man who unearthed skeletons from the closet. His demons were the source of anxiety in the wizard world. He had killed James parents. He had ordered the McKinnons and Prewitts to be killed, taking Maimee Hout in the process as well.
James, Lily, Remus, and Sirius had all been effected by this man, in one way or another. It was their time.
Avada Kedavra, Voldemort hissed, sending a jet of green light straight at James heart. James quickly lunged out of the way, watching a tree become scorched in the process.
Some force of dueling had unleashed itself as now, everyone was fighting. Not many words were spoken which was to be expected.
James had never felt such heat and blood. It was seemingly seeping throughout his veins, a bloodlust.
Sirius was now dueling with a Death Eater; the Death Eater to be exact.
You loved her, did you Black? the man asked, in a slick, cool voice.
Sirius had recognized that voice. The man had only been two years ahead of them.
I killed her myself, the man confessed. She was a pretty one. Allison was her name?
Addison, Sirius bitterly expressed through gritted teeth. Sirius couldnt place the name with the voice, even though the mystery was killing him.
She wasnt a screamer, the man said. No, she sat there and took it, as if she was expecting it. She couldnt do a thing when I had her wand.
The name hit him. The old Quidditch captain for Slytherin.
Travers, Sirius whispered. Youll rot in hell, you sick son of a bitch.
Avada Kedavra! Travers screamed.
Fixato Merphalus! Sirius pitched.
A jet of green light collided with a thin, dark flame. Each narrowly missed the spell.
Dark magic? Travers asked, clearly surprised.
I am a Black, Sirius confessed. One useful thing I learned in that twisted house.
Lily was battling, not able to keep track of the numerous hoods that had fell down. She just knew that time was barely passing, but she felt as though shed been there for hours.
She didnt stop. She saw things happening, but still she didnt stop. This was her time, she could finally manage to defend herself. Not like last time, she was not the damsel.
She only paused when she heard a body clunk down beside her. James was clutching his chest and breathing fast. A cut was exposed through his torn shirt and his brow was scrunched in concentration. His wand was still lifted and he was attempting to stand back up. Lily ran to his side, Remus cursing the Death Eater she had left.
Oh, James, Lily whispered. What did he do to you?
They say youre my competition, Potter? Voldemort mocked. He was standing about ten feet away, his wand at his side now, laughing at James current position.
What do you want with him? Lily screamed. Why him? Why not me? Why not Sirius? Why not anyone else? Why him?
You ask me why, Mudblood? Voldemort sneered. He reached inside his cloak pocket and pulled out a piece of parchment.
Official document from the Department of Mysteries, he explained, still burning a scarlet fire in his evil embers. I have a reliable source located there. This parchment determined my biggest threat.
James? Lily asked, disbelieving. She knew James was strong, but out of all the wizards on the Earth, James was posing as the darkest wizards threat?
Yes, Voldemort answered. Hes not the only one, though. Threat two and three; Lily Evans and Sirius Black.
Lily shuddered at the use of her name. She was a threat? She didnt even know that Voldemort was aware of who she was. This was all too overwhelming.
This is why youve been after him? This is why youve wanted to kill him so badly? Lily asked, feeling her brain take in all this information.
No one around them was aware of the stop in battle. The few remaining Death Eaters, the ones that had originally shown up, were still trying to battle Sirius and Remus. Lily hadnt even been aware of when more had shown up. She had been in a fit of rage at the time. Now, she wasnt even sure what to feel.
She looked over at James. He was breathing, but barely. Voldemort had hit him with a horrible curse. If she didnt end this soon, he would most likely die.
So, clutching her fingers even more fiercely on her wand, she stood. Slowly, she pointed it at him; the Dark Lord.
He laughed.
Youre going to take me on, all by yourself? Voldemort asked.
I do believe I am posted as threat number two, Tom, Lily answered, coolly.
That you are, Evans, Voldemort replied.
A sudden movement and his wand was swished and a jet of electric blue light came her way. She identified it as a form of dark magic that forced the victim to cough itself to death. It looked as if James had been hit mildly with it. She had swiftly jumped to the side.
Incarcerous, he cast. Ropes flew out of his wand, attempting to bind Lily.
Incendio! she screamed, burning the ropes in their path. Waddiwasi!
A mug from the Three Broomsticks flew out of the pub and made to hit Voldemort on the head. He cracked it with the Reductor Curse.
A series of jinxes were muttered under his breath, emitting a golden glow from the tip of his wand.
Protego, Lily muttered, casting the shield charm around her.
Yet, her charm wasnt strong enough and she felt a cut sting across her face. She raised her hand to her face and felt blood.
Before she could react, someone had yelled, Expelliarmus!
The reason he sent Death Eaters on the train and the reason he attacked us in Miami was because he wanted to kill James, Lily recited. According to him, me and Sirius pose as threat two and threat three. I am only guessing, but I imagine Remus would be threat four. If Addison were alive today, she would most likely be ranked high up.

South Africa bridge collapse kills 14 people
JOHANNESBURG Dec 11 (Reuters) - Fourteen people were killed after a bridge collapsed in South Africa's eastern Mpumalanga province during heavy rains, officials said on Tuesday.
"We have 14 people killed. The bridge was swept away and four cars just plunged into the water," provincial safety spokesman Joseph Mabuza said.
The bridge was over a dry river bed but flash floods fill it with water when it rains heavily, Mabuza said. He added that divers had completed their search as all missing people had been accounted for.
Central and eastern regions of South Africa have been hit by torrential rain and hail in the last few days. In KwaZulu Natal province emergency services said four people were injured after a train derailed and fell into a river.
The derailment was caused by erosion from rising water levels. (Reporting by Ed Stoddard; Editing by Ed Cropley)

If it isn't the best place on the planet for food, then Las Vegas is certainly in the top three. Vegas is a hotbed for master chefs who are out to prove their worth to whoever is willing to taste. Vegas cuisine is the contemporary New York and San Francisco combined, forming an exciting atmosphere for any person with difficult taste buds to please. Wolfgang Puck, Michael Mina, and Cindy Hutsun are just three of the many stars you can find cooking up a storm at the hotels.
For those who don't have money to burn, there are still many decent places to eat. Like any city, Las Vegas has franchise restaurants like Buca di Beppo and Buffalo Wild WIngs, as well as local restaurants that can be good alternatives to hotel fine dining, but for half the price. The city is also full of cheap eats, where $10 will fill both you and a friend for the rest of the day. There are many places near campus to grab a bite. Fast food joints line the street across from UNLV's east side, and many other restaurants are scattered all around the school. Chinese food, seafood, Mexican food, and Greek food are only some of the choices in close proximity to UNLV. The Freakin' Frog is great for beer lovers: they offer more than 600 beers, many that you can't get anywhere else in Nevada.

for example
you open civil3d (not autocad as civil) and u link an image and draw some lines inside the image zone.
select all the lines then try to deselect a line by usuing shift. it doesnt work. but if you open autocad you will have no probleme
when i said open autocad i mean you have to close completley civil then open autocad as civil. i tried just to chang civil profil to autocad but doesnt work. so this i say to close it completley
is this a normal problem or autodesk have to find a solution for it
thanks in advance
this is a setting that comes with the Map3D-part into Civil3D.
Start command _MAPIOPTIONS, go to second tab and you will find a checkbox for the usage of <SHIFT> combined with image and selection.
Change this option and it should work like you expect it.
HTH, - alfred -
thanks alot
do you have any idea why there is an option like this in map and even ratser design have it too
>> do you have any idea why there is an option like this [...]
Sorry, no idea, it was Autodesk, not me
- alfred -
Probably because someone added it to a whish list at one point. There is also a similar setting in the RD Object enabler that will do the same thing.
A left over from the old DOS Softdesk days that's never got updated would be my guess.
Good thought Murph. I'll see if I can check that out. If I can remember past the weekend that is!

CATEGORIES MoviesWhether you think of Warner Bros. as the studio that gave you talking pictures, Bugs Bunny, Bogart, or Batman, you have to acknowledge the studio's place at the forefront of Hollywood history. Indeed, it'll be hard to avoid acknowledging it this year, as the studio will be spending 2013 celebrating its 90th birthday.
The celebration kicks off with the release of two massive boxed sets of 50-plus discs each, both entitled the "Best of Warner Bros." -- a 100-film set of DVDs and a 50-film set of Blu-rays. Both sets encompass the studio's milestones of the entire sound film era, which Warners itself kicked off in 1927 with the release of "The Jazz Singer." (The sets go all the way up to the 2010 classic-to-be "Inception.")
As familiar as these movies are, there's still plenty you may not know about the legendary movie studio, from who the actual Warner Brothers were, to the stars the studio minted, to its technical innovations, dramatic downturns, and recent achievements. Read on for a list of little-known facts about the Hollywood institution. (Many of these were gleaned from "Hollywood Be Thy Name," the 1999 biography of the brothers written by Harry Warner's granddaughter, Cass Warner Sperling, and Cork Millner.)
1. Yes, Warner Bros. has a motto, and no, it's not, "That's All, Folks!" In fact, it's "Educate, Entertain, and Enlighten."
2. How many Warner Brothers were there? Initially, there were 12 siblings, four of whom died in childhood. The founders of the studio were four of the surviving siblings: Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack.
3. The studio dates its founding to its incorporation on April 4, 1923, but the Warners were in the movie business long before that. In the first years of the 20th century, the family (then based in Youngstown, Ohio) bought a film projector and used it in to show movies in a tent that they toured throughout Ohio and Pennsylvania before opening their first stand-alone theater in 1906. In 1907, they moved into film distribution.
4. The Warner Brothers started to produce their own movies in 1910. By 1918, they had built their first studio in Los Angeles, in Culver City. Two years later, they moved to a site in Hollywood, on Sunset Blvd., in what is today the Sunset Bronson Studios.
5. The studio's first major star was a German shepherd, Rin Tin Tin. The dog appeared in 27 movies and was Warners' biggest asset of the silent era. According to legend, he even received the most votes for Best Actor during the first Academy Awards, but the Academy, seeking credibility, gave the prize to the human male with the most votes, Emil Jannings.
6. "The Jazz Singer" is considered the first major talking picture, but it was not the first sound film. In the mid-'20s, Warners introduced Vitaphone, a system for accompanying film with sound from engraved discs, that was used for talking short films and for musical sequences in the exhibition of such Warners features as John Barrymore's 1926 hit "Don Juan."
7. Still, "The Jazz Singer" was the first successful feature-length film featuring spoken dialogue. Sam Warner, the brother who was the strongest supporter of the Vitaphone technology, died at 40 of complications from pneumonia on the eve of the film's 1927 premiere. The Al Jolson vehicle was a smash, putting Warners on the map as a major studio and facilitating its move to the massive studio lot in Burbank that Warners occupies to this day. More important, "The Jazz Singer" ushered in the transition from silent movies to sound films throughout the world within the next couple of years.
8. In the 1930s, Warners was best known for its gangster movies. "Little Caesar," the 1930 melodrama about a mobster's violent rise and fall, set the template for virtually all gangster dramas to come. The crime dramas that followed throughout the decade -- including "Public Enemy," "I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang," "Angels With Dirty Faces," and "The Roaring Twenties" -- made stars out of such Warner contract players as Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, Paul Muni, and Humphrey Bogart.
9. Other stars who made their names as Warner contract players in those days included Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, George Raft, and Ronald Reagan.
10. With the coming of World War II, the studio began to specialize in war dramas supporting the Allied effort. The archetypal movie of the period was 1942's "Casablanca." The Humphrey Bogart classic may be the most beloved movie in the studio's history; to this day, the film's theme song, "As Time Goes By," can be heard while the "WB" shiield logo appears at the beginning of every Warner Bros. release.
11. The studio got its first cartoon star with Porky Pig in the mid-1930s, though he was soon supplanted by Bugs Bunny (who debuted in 1940) as the Warners' mascot. Despite the production of hundreds of legendary shorts whose subversive, irreverent humor has kept them fresh to this day, Jack Warner treated the cartoon division with indifference bordering on contempt. He supposedly knew so little about his studio's own product that he mistakenly believed Mickey Mouse was one of his properties. In the 1950s, he sold much of the Warners' cartoon library for a mere $3,000 per short, thus depriving the studio of untold millions in future revenues.
12. In 1950, Warners was facing the rise of television and the aftermath of the Supreme Court's Paramount decision, which forced the Hollywood studios to sell off their theater chains. Facing an uncertain future, Jack Warner sold off most of the studio's pre-1950 library of classic films for just $21 million.
13. James Dean made only three movies, all of them for Warners: "East of Eden," "Rebel WIthout a Cause," and "Giant."
14. Jack Warner had been the effective head of the studio since the 1920s, often clashing with his brothers. In the 1950s, the brothers agreed to sell their interest in the studio, but Jack secretly bought his brothers' shares through a consortium. Soon, he was the sole head of the studio. His brothers never forgave him, and Harry never spoke to him again. Harry died soon after in 1958; Jack did not attend his funeral.
15. Over the years, Warners was involved in several landmark censorship battles. Such gritty early 1930s films as "Baby Face" (in which Barbara Stanwyck sleeps her way to the top of the corporate ladder) were so scandalous that they led to the 1934 institution of the Production Code that kept movies sanitized for the next 35 years. In 1951, the studio wrangled with the Code administrators over the adults-only content of "A Streetcar Named Desire" until finally achieving some compromises that permitted the release of the landmark film. In 1966, the studio flouted the code with "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and was rewarded with several Oscars and box office success. That was the victory that ultimately forced the code to fold forever, to be replaced in 1968 by the movie content ratings system we have today.
16. Jack Warner stepped back from his studio-chief duties after the 1967 flop "Camelot." He'd been running the studio he co-founded longer than any of the other moguls of his generation, including Harry Cohn (Columbia) and Louis B. Mayer (MGM), and his retirement was considered the end of an era.
17. Warners created the blueprint for the modern-day superhero movie with 1978's "Superman" (with Christopher Reeve) and 1989's "Batman" (with Michael Keaton), both based on caped-hero titles published by DC Comics, which was a division of Warner Bros.
18. For the last three decades of his career, Stanley Kubrick worked exclusively with Warner Bros. as his distributor, in a partnership that resulted in such classic films as "A Clockwork Orange," "The Shining," and "Full Metal Jacket."
19. Warners boasts nine Best Picture Oscar winners, from "The Life of Emile Zola" (1937) to "The Departed" (2006).
20. Warners got most of its classic library of features and cartoons back in 1996 when it purchased Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting. The Turner collection included the MGM/United Artists library and the RKO library, which seems to be the reason why the new Best of Warner Bros. DVD and Blu-ray collections include such films as "The Wizard of Oz," "Gone With the Wind," "Citizen Kane," "An American in Paris," and "Singin' in the Rain," which were not Warner Bros. productions.
21. Warners ushered in the modern-style documentary wave with 1989's "Roger & Me," which launched Michael Moore's directing career.
22. In 2009, Warners became the first studio to gross more than $2 billion in North America in a calendar year.
23. Warners' biggest grossing hit ever: 2011's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," with a worldwide gross of $1.3 billion. Its biggest domestic hit: 2008's "The Dark Knight," which earned $533 million in North America.
24. Virtually every movie Clint Eastwood has directed or starred in for the past 45 years has been for Warner Bros., a partnership that has included about 40 films.
25. To the extent that the studio is known for anything these days, it's for greenlighting mega-franchises: the Harry Potter movies, the Matrix trilogy, Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" trilogies (made by Warners' indie division New Line Pictures), the "Sherlock Holmes" movies, the "Hangover" comedies, and the Superman movies (including this year's upcoming "The Man of Steel").

This route is the route located on the upper tier of 'The Blonde Formation'. Although the guide says 7 bolts for this route, I came across only 6. The scramble to the base of the route includes a lot of loose rock and a 4th class section onto the actual rock, this is a bad place for your belayer to be if you fall, so perhaps try to belay from the ground somehow, may be difficult. The first bolt is a little ways up so be careful. This route I give 1 star if it were a little cleaner, as it was covered with a layer of sand/lichen when I climbed it, don't think it sees much action. The holds are fairly big, but nice and slopey.... Have fun and bringing a brush is recommended. Cheers.

Isabella Hendemore, now Lady Trent, has had an adventuresome, successful, and often harrowing life researching the lives and habits of the mysterious, dangerous dragons that dwell across the world. Though she has written many books on the subject, rumors and speculation abound about her journeys to far-flung mountaintops and desert plains in search of these elusive creatures. But Lady Trent has finally written her memoirs, and boy are they exciting. The first volume, A Natural History of Dragons: a memoir by Lady Trent, is the beginning of a new series by fantasy author Marie Brennan set in a world where dragons are just another type of exotic creature to be studied, hunted, captured and exploited. As a child, Isabella is entranced by the small dragon-like sparklings in her garden, even though natural history is not considered a proper subject of study for young ladies. Her obsession with discovering more about dragons only grows as she matures into adulthood and gets married. When the opportunity to study dragons firsthand arises, she and her husband set out on a thrilling and groundbreaking expedition that carries a deadly cost.
As with her previous Onyx Court series, Brennan excels at breathing life into her characters and settings. She looks beyond this first book, casting out storylines that will intrigue readers to follow the adventures in later novels. So hold on to your bonnets, dust off your microscope, and get ready to dig into Brennan's new fantastical world in A Natural History of Dragons.
Dr. Cyrus Mills returns to Eden Falls, Vermont and the Bedside Manor for Sick Animals in The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs by Nick Trout. Bedside Manor was Cyrus' father's veterinary practice and with the passing of his dad, Cyrus is the freshly-minted owner. However, Cyrus, who was long-estranged from his father, wants to sell the old place to a national chain and get back to his life. He doesn't even practice veterinary medicine, but prefers the isolation of his career as a vet pathologist. Cyrus also needs fast money and plans on using the proceeds from the sale to help him defend against potentially career-ending litigation at home in Charleston. Plans change when Cyrus realizes the Bedside Manor is in financial trouble and he is given one week to prove that the practice could be a profitable investment. During this week, Cyrus cares for a variety of household pets and finds himself reconnecting with his former community and the crazy cast of characters who populate the small town. But not everyone is happy to see Cyrus and at least one banker and an anonymous blackmailer have set him in their crosshairs.
During the course of the week, Cyrus' personality changes as he learns to open up to the people who are supporting him in his endeavor to turn the practice around. He is also forced to face some truths from his past, including new information about his mother and father. Nick Trout is a veterinary surgeon who has written best-selling memoirs about his experiences caring for animals. In his first novel, he offers a well-written, fast-moving, entertaining tale populated with plenty of unique two and four-legged characters. Ultimately, this is the story of one man and the dramatic way his life changes once he opens his heart and lets people and animals into his world.
In Last Days by Adam Nevill, we are introduced to the Temple of the Last Days, a severe apocalyptic cult started in England and led by the enigmatic Sister Katherine. She began as a visionary, but soon detached herself to the life as a recluse, surrounding herself with her favorite acolytes and treating the remaining cult members with reproach and disgust. The cult traveled from England to a farmhouse in France, and eventually ended up in Arizona where Sister Katherine wound up beheaded and several members committed suicide.
Years have passed but interest and speculation about the cult never ended. Enter Max Solomon, CEO of Revelation Productions and general new age guru, who wants to make a documentary on the Temple of the Last Days. He enlists a young filmmaker named Kyle who is well known in the indie film business for making gritty, realistic films on paranormal topics. Kyle, heavy in debt, agrees. Max sets up filming locations and connects him with members of the cult who were lucky enough to escape its clutches before it landed in Arizona. Kyle soon realizes that these living remains of the cult are broken souls, and reliving past days will not be easy for them. During filming, strange things begin to happen, from unexplained footsteps on the floor above to unexplained noises coming from basements below. There is talk of presences, but no one can explain what or who these presences might be. Kyle is skeptical until he begins to see shapes in the darkness, shapes carved into the very walls themselves. And then the former members begin to die.
Last Days is a gripping read, well detailed and full of interesting characters. The book creates an eerie atmosphere that will have the reader looking over their shoulder while making sure the lights are on. Fans of Stephen King and Dean Koontz will enjoy this new voice in contemporary horror.
Timing could not have been better for John Thavis's entertaining and candid new book, The Vatican Diaries: a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Power, Personalities, and Politics at the Heart of the Catholic Church. While the long-time journalist stirs in lighter, less sacrosanct moments about life in and out of the Apostolic Palace, there is serious discussion of many aspects of this Vatican City-State visited by millions each year.
Nearly three decades of experience covering the Holy See for Catholic News Service has provided the recently retired Rome Bureau Chief with a heap of material on the men in red. In ten highly readable chapters, Thavis traverses more territory in "arguably the world's most hierarchical organization" than on his motorino throughout this ancient city. Intriguing chapter headings, like "Hemlines and Banana Peels" and "Cat and Mouse," provide a fascinating peek at the culture behind the headlines. In a chapter called simply "Bones," Thavis highlights the difficulty of protecting and conserving the plethora of antiquities that come out of the ground while moving forward with modern development as mundane as a parking garage. Thavis calls it the "politics of the bones."
No subjects are off limits either, as the Minnesota native seems to have witnessed it all firsthand. He takes on the sexual abuse scandals and other controversies swirling around papal decisions, including provocative observations on the last two popes. Lighter subjects, too, are explored, including free-speaking priests who get into trouble and the mindset of Vatican protocol where things shouldn't go wrong but often do. Even bell ringing has its own challenges. There is chapter on it. Thavis dispels the myth of "Vatican secrecy" in his introduction. "More than 3,000 people work in the Vatican's administrative machine, and many of them will share information if given the opportunity," he says. It is fortunate for readers that Thavis has opened up his reporter's notebooks.
Eddie Huang is co-owner of the hugely successful Baohaus, a Taiwanese bun shop in New York's East Village. Fresh off the Boat, his provocative new memoir, is a refreshingly current take on the immigrant story and a very funny book. Huang recounts his upbringing in Orlando, Florida. He attended a mostly white school, struggling to stay true to his Taiwanese culture, while also wanting to fit in. For his school lunch, his mother usually prepared a home-cooked Taiwanese meal. He didn't want food that smelled or looked any different from that of his peers. He talked his mom into allowing him to take the processed pre-packed meals and juice boxes.
He describes going into wealthy white homes where the kids had so many toys, he didn't know what to play with first. He does not shy away from his tough upbringing but maintains a light, irreverent tone, no matter the subject. In time, he came to embrace his own culture. He is proud of his Asian-American background but refuses to be anything but himself. He criticizes Hollywood's emasculated version of Asian-American men, loves partying, hip-hop, basketball and football.
Throughout Huang's life, his love of food remains constant and his passion for food culture is infectious. Equally infectious is Huang's humor, perhaps best captured in the audiobook version. Huang is the narrator and his hip, street-smart humor comes off best in his distinct Brooklyn accent. Besides audiobook listeners, Fresh Off the Boat will also find fans among memoir readers, pop-culture enthusiasts and foodies.
Many of us wish that we could have a "do-over" in our lives. That's exactly the opportunity that the heroines of these two new novels receive with interesting results. Jen Lancaster's Here I Go Again is a hilarious trip back to the future. In high school, Lissy Ryder was the ultimate mean girl. Now, she is returning to her 20th reunion under less than desirable circumstances. Over the past few months, her husband left her, and she lost her job. Unemployment, combined with astronomical credit card debt required to keep up her lifestyle, has resulted in Lissy being forced to move back home with her parents. She goes to the reunion, and the way she treated people in high school comes back to haunt her. When she gets a chance to go back to 1991 and change her life, Lissy tries to make things right, but she finds that her actions have unexpected results in the present. Fans of Lancaster's memoirs will recognize her fast-paced, chatty writing style and ubiquitous pop culture references.
In Allie Larkin's Why Can't I Be You, heroine Jenny Shaw's life is a mess. Although her boyfriend dumps her at the airport and runs away with her luggage in the trunk of his car, she still gets on a plane for a business trip to Seattle. At her hotel, someone calls her Jessie from across the lobby. On a whim, Jenny answers. Soon she finds herself pretending to be Jessie Morgan, a long-lost classmate in town for her high school reunion. As she gets to know Jessie's high school friends, Jenny sees the kind of friendship she longs for in her own life. Pretending to be the free-spirited, wild child Jessie, Jenny is able to open up and try things she never would have as herself. Eventually, Jenny realizes that when she's being Jessie, she's more true to herself than ever. Why Can't I Be You is a story of finding yourself in the last place you would have expected. Larkin is an exciting new voice in chick lit, bringing readers strong characters and stories with real heart.
Travel to San Francisco, 1894 to meet a pair of delightful detectives in The Bughouse Affair by Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini. This first in a new historical mystery series by two Grand Master Award winners (who just happen to be married), introduces partners Sabina Carpenter and John Quincannon. Sabina is a former Pinkerton operative and John honed his skills in the Secret Service. The two combined forces to establish a successful agency in the quickly developing city of San Francisco. Sabina is widowed and dedicated to her job, and John is a bachelor hoping for a more personal relationship with his lovely partner.
The two are working on separate cases while also following press reports of the resurrection of Sherlock Holmes, who has miraculously returned to life and picked San Francisco as his new base of operations. Sabina's case involves the hunt for a slippery lady pickpocket who finds her marks at a large amusement park and other crowded venues. Quincannon is on the trail of a burglar who is targeting the homes of wealthy residents. He finds himself traveling to seedy bars and parlors in the disreputable Barbary Coast while tracking his elusive thief. Eventually, the two realize their cases are connected and the criminals have stepped up their game to include murder. The detecting duo find themselves working feverishly to capture these lawbreakers before additional crimes can be committed, all while dealing with the Sherlock Holmes pretender who has become a surprising rival.
Muller and Pronzini have both entertained readers with their memorable characters Sharon McCone and The Nameless Detective respectively. With this series, this talented couple offers two intrepid detectives in an intriguing historical setting. Readers will be anxious to follow the next case these two embark upon and curious about whether the romantic sparks will continue to fly.
Cars on top of boats on top of roofs. Mountains of debris in flattened urban landscapes. Sea-salty inland lakes miles away from the Pacific coastline. These were all fairly common scenes after the March 11, 2011 earthquake off of the northern coast of Japan caused a series of massive tsunami waves that decimated the eastern coast of the Tohoku region. Only months after the disaster first struck, Gretel Ehrlich, an American travel writer, came to personally view, experience, and record the wreckage and the perseverance of the people and places impacted most by the quake and tsunami. Facing the Wave: A Journey in the Wake of the Tsunami is the insightful, poetic, personal chronicle of her expedition.
After she arrives, Ehrlich makes her way slowly up and down the devastated coastline, stopping by villages, cities, temples, and emergency shelters along the way. She comes to see the depth and variety of responses to the catastrophe in the people she meets and those she travels with, especially her drivers and translators, and their families. Through her conversations, the reader gradually realizes how profoundly Japan's long acquaintance with the tsunami as a natural phenomenon has permeated its culture and worldview. Impermance, uncertainty, and acceptance of what cannot change are rooted in the Japanese character that Ehrlich's portrayal reveals. Still, moments of happiness and joy punch through the sorrow and anxiety that the author and those she meets experience.
Wrenching, inspiring, and compelling, Facing the Wave is an emotional reminder that even though we may no longer see it mentioned on the nightly news, the aftermath of a disaster of this scale lingers for those who lived through it and those who care enough to remember.
Joan Crawford, move over. Kathi Ruta is here, and her daughter, Domenica "Nikki" Ruta, has penned a memoir every bit as disturbing as Christina Crawford's. In With or Without You, Ruta recounts a childhood devoid of innocence, as she is both witness to and victim of numerous crimes. Nikki is the only child of single mother Kathi.They live on the Ruta family compound in Massachusetts. Unlike another family compound in wealthy Hyannisport, the clannish Rutas reside on marshland in blue-collar Danvers in dilapidated housing. Kathi is a manicurist, at one point a prosperous car service owner, but most regularly a drug dealer who liberally indulges in her merchandise.
Ruta shares horrifying tales of growing up with Kathi. The squalid living conditions are punctuated by a revolving series of drug-buying customers who serve as surrogate family; one "uncle" is a known pedophile. Kathi promotes drug use, providing Nikki with her first Oxycontin and stuffing her Christmas stocking with a nickel bag. She keeps Nikki home from school to watch classic movies on TV (ironically, a favorite was Mommie Dearest) and harangues her daughter with language that could blister paint off the walls. Yet Kathi knows her intelligent, book-loving daughter deserves more and cobbles together a private school education which includes boarding school and college, partly funded by drug money. During an especially flush period, they travel to Europe.
Dysfunctional parent-child relationships are complicated. Ruta conveys her mother not as one-dimensional, but larger than life and complex; intensely loving and capable of pushing her daughter to succeed conventionally while simultaneously sabotaging her efforts. With her mother's demons dogging her along the way, Ruta struggles to launch her own adulthood while deciding what role her mother can continue to play in her life. Recent memoirs in this same vein include Jeanette Walls' The Glass Castle and The Memory Palace by Mira Bartok.
Alice Munro is often described as "one of the best living writers of short stories in the English language". While that may be said to avoid too many comparisons as to who is truly the best, the qualifiers are really not necessary. This is proven with her latest collection, Dear Life. In interviews, Munro states that a few of this set of stories are her most autobiographical.
One of the most striking aspects of Munro's stories is the misdirection she frequently provides. Just as the reader is settling in on what is believed to be the main character or main idea of a story, a tangent takes one off into a myriad of different directions. Often taking place in the area Munro knows best, rural Ontario near Lake Huron, these are mostly slice-of-life stories about regular people. In "Haven", for example, a young girl goes to live with her aunt and uncle, two very different people from her missionary parents. Her eyes are opened to another way of life, and her childhood ends. Another story, "Pride", describes two small-town misfits who eventually forge an uneasy friendship. The male protagonist explains his female acquaintance as having a "strange hesitation and lightness about her, as if she were waiting for life to begin. She went away on trips of course, and maybe she thought it would begin there. No such luck."
The author tucks those sorts of breathtaking lines throughout the fourteen stories. Travel, especially by train, takes on a large role, likely a metaphor for our lifelong journeys. The final, titular story, certainly one of the most autobiographical, has many interwoven themes. But above all, the wordplay of Munro's own dear life, while she has witnessed so many holding on for dear life, leaves readers in awe of her writing powers.

Heaven on Earth!
We have given ourselves the gift of this getaway 4 times and just scheduled our 5th. Every year we plan a week to lose ourselves in the beauty, scenery, and the surroundings of this magical place. The "cabin" is not really a "cabin", but a luxuriously peaceful space and our home away from home. We only gave it 5 stars because they don't list 6 as an option. We so look forward to our next visit... Teresa and Mark W.
Well equipped, perfect for our ski trip!
As a group, we rent a lot of vacation homes. This one was well equipped from the kitchen, to the cleaning supplies, towels and linens, etc. The layout was excellent for accomodating our large group and the price was right. Martina was easy to work with and the rental was stress-free.
Beautiful Secluded Vacation Home
We brought my parents here as a Christmas gift and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. We initially rented the property for 3 nights and were disappointed that there was no snow. It finally snowed the last night and we were so excited we stayed an extra night. They were very accommodating in allowing us to extend our vacation, which was greatly appreciated! In all we had 4 adults and 2 children and a couple of dogs. There was plenty of room for all. The dogs loved being able to run around outside, and because the location is so remote, we weren't too worried about it. The house is beautifully appointed, the kitchen fully stocked, and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation, including the wood stove and the hot tub. I would highly recommend this vacation home to anyone looking for a secluded mountain getaway.

Really nice looking new range from Dance Party Massacre, and when I heard that the lookbook video had Justice right at the start I knew I was going to enjoy it. That 75% off sale is looking pretty epic too, should be starting in a couple of hours if my recollection of time zones is correct.

Man claims thousands after meters showed wrong time
Advice groups warn some people could be paying hundreds of pounds more than they should be.Read the full story
Advice groups warn some people could be paying hundreds of pounds more than they should be.Read the full story
Gary Day, a retired engineer from Abergavenny, has saved himself and three neighbours more than £2,300 after discovering their meter clocks were wrong by several hours. Tariffs such as Economy 7 and Economy 10 offer customers a lower rate for electricity during some hours.
Nearly four million households across the UK are reliant on tariffs, according to the consumer watchdog Which? Mr. Day told Which? "I have only checked four meters and every single one of them was wrong. I am horrified that there might be others that have these clock errors and don't realise it."
Mr Day and his neighbours were all on time-of-use tariffs with Swalec. A spokesperson from the company offered to recalculate any charges for customers whose meter clock is incorrect.
"We will always make sure our customers are not left out of pocket. If anyone suspects their meter clock may be incorrect, or would like us to check, please give us a call on 0800 975 8317."
Western Power Distribution says around 700 homes are without power this morning. The Swansea and Cwmfelinfach areas are the worst affected.

Ordering hops from Europe?
I was told hops should be kept in the freezer until used.
I saw good hop prices on eBay, with free int'l shipping.
So I fear the ~10 day shipping will hurt the hops...
Does this affect the hops ? or is this the common overkill bug that infects us brewers?
Freezing helps extend the life of hops, but hop warehouses are rarely even refrigerated.

Very nice, I get my new PC in a few days and this is almost exactly like my build. Gigabyte mobo instead and no tubing, just a Coolit ECO 240 MM.My first attempt at water cooling...Some notes.
* I never cared about PSU length until now. I had to swap out my Antec HCP-850 for a Corsair AX850. No Platinum level PSU is shallow enough.
* Compression fittings will destroy your fingers.
* You will probably have to make a couple trips to the hardware store for metric fasteners and washers.
* Gentle Typhoons have a tick when in a pull scenario (in this case push-pull).
* When flushing your radiator make sure you replace every rubber drain plug with an actual screw plugs.
* Putting TIM pads on every DRAM chip on a video card is tedious.
Finally received my computer that I purchased from Ironside Computers. Everything arrived undamaged, the packaging was very good when I opened it so that doesn't come to any surprise. Set up the computer and everything is working fine so far. I guess the only bad things I have to say is that the power supply cord was pretty short, so I had to rearrange my desk so the cord can reach my surge protector. The other bad thing, not really too big of a deal is that the PC is as loud if not slightly louder then my Alienware. No big deal though. And I also can feel a lot of vibration on my desk. Not sure if this is normal or not, I have a simply folding table from Wal-Mart. I downloaded Speedfan to look at the temperatures and nothing is above 32 degrees Celsius. Ironside actually added two extra fans and I only ordered one extra fan. So I am very happy about that. As promised here is a picture of the inside. I am sorry for the quality of the picture as I took it from a laptop webcam.
i5-4670k 4.2GHz | AMD R9 280x | 16GB Kingston HyperX | 256GB 840 EVO | Corsair H100i | Noctua IndustialPPC
ASUS PB298Q 4K | 2x QNIX QH2710 | CM Storm Rapid w/ Reds | Steelseries Rival | Schiit Stack w/ BeyerDynamic DT 990
Speedfan should let you turn the speed of your CPU fan down I believe, I could be wrong though. Starting to go a bit off topic, I suggest asking anymore questions in the Computer Chat Thread, or make a new thread if you think it is important enough to warrant its own thread.

Not exactly a full gaming setup, but I thought this would be the best place to share...
Decided to mod my case a little bit. It seemed like a lot of dust was coming in through the side panel (its the only intake without a filter), so I decided to remove the fan and put a window over it.
Went to my local home improvement store and got an 8x8" piece of acrylic, some bolts, rubber washers, and some weather stripping.
I think it turned out pretty well considering this is the first time I've ever attempted this sort of thing, I did end up cracking a corner because I tried to force a bolt, but you can hardly see it on the outside. Pictures aren't of the greatest quality, I was too lazy to get out my camera so I used my phone.
Gonna monitor my temps once I get my parts in there, if they stay low I may end up cutting out the mesh, we'll see.
Last edited by noteworthynerd; 2012-03-25 at 01:00 AM.
Yeah, I'm feeling more confident since the above went well (minus the cracked corner), I may end up cutting out a larger window so that you can fully view all of the components if the temps stay low (I'm specifically worried about the GPU), we'll see.
I wouldn't have to worry about it if FD would start selling the windowed version of the Arc Midi in the US. -.-
Last edited by noteworthynerd; 2012-03-25 at 01:29 AM.
Well I'll be damned, nice work. I'm trying to do something of the opposite i.e. replace my side acrylic window with a mesh (heavy dust filtering) and a 200mm side fan. It would reduce GPU temps by a good 10-15c.
This is the way I went with it. I was originally supposed to just test how well the GPU would handle the temps with the side mesh covered and later buy some better quality sound dampening dust filter. Used some of the foam that my graphics card came in and just taped it on. It ended up working just fine like that and it's all literally invisible from the outside so I left it like that :P Thus the interior "ghetto" look.
Also some pics of my new mechanical keyboard . Zowie Celeritas Pro.

Lots of watercooling parts.

Nice rig Sweetleader. If my computer could run at 24 degrees, I'd be able to air condition my bedroom
Looks like my dreams of buying a 7950 will be put on hold for a while, turns out the government isn't going to refund all my income tax even though I made money worthy of the 1% last year (a whopping 20k)

@ Sweetleader, nice rig. T_T. I'm so tempted to Watercool my PC.
System Specs -
CPU - i5 2500k @ 5ghz | CPU Cooler - RASA RX240 | Motherboard - Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z/Gen3| GPU - Nvidia GTX 590|
SSD - Crucial M4 128GB | RAM - 8GB Corsair Vengeance | PSU - Corsair TX850M | Case - CoolerMaster HAF 922
| Monitor - Crossover 27Q (2560x1440) | Sidewinder X4 Keyboard |
Thanks all :P. I've been wanting to do it for awhile. Was my first time and I love it.
Everything just kinda fit into place. Had very little wiggle room on the top two radiators. Got very lucky with that.
Specs on Koolance website show 38mm for the 120 and 240. The Phobya 200mm is 36mm. As you can see I didn't really have room for the 60mm rads and a push/pull.
It is actually running 7 fans but they are hooked to a fan controller so I can basically make it as quiet as I like.
(2x Push/Pull on 200mm, 2x Push/Pull on 120mm, 3x Push/Pull on the top 200mm)

Almost opposite the hotel is Hanger Lane Tube station which can get you into central London in 20-30 minutes.

To the South at just over a mile is another large and popular shopping area at Ealing High Road as well as the large open spaces of Ealing Common. This location is a good intermediate place to stay as a link between Heathrow and London with easy access by public transport and road to most areas within Central London. The A40 on which the hotel is located is a straight dual carriageway into the heart of London to the north side and long Marylebone Road. Local attractions include Pitshanger Manor Museum (1.45 miles), an example of the work of architects John Soane and also George Dance dating back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
