Ecology and the Designed Landscape
|Tuesday, Oct. 7, 14 and 21 | Field Trip: Saturday, Oct. 11
|7 - 9 p.m.; Field Trip 10 a.m. - noon
|Linda Kramer and John Totten
|To be able to apply the basic concepts of plant ecology and local plant communities to the designed landscape
|$ 88 members; $128 non-members
|Phipps Garden Center in Mellon Park
(Formerly known as Ecology and Conservation Concepts for Landscape Design)
The fields of ecology and landscape architecture grew up together in the late 19th century. Their close alliance was nearly lost in the mid-20th century but has since been rediscovered as interest in ecological landscape design and sustainability has grown. Students in this course will explore the basics of plant ecology and the plant communities of western Pennsylvania and then learn to apply these ideas to the designed landscape. A field trip to a new plant community based landscape will help students see how these principles can be applied.
This class is now filled. Please call 412/441-4442 ext. 3925 or e-mail with questions or to be placed on the waiting list.

Native Plant and Sustainability Conference
|Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014
|8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.
|$ 90 members; $100 non-members
|William Pitt Union at the University of Pittsburgh
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens' annual Native Plant and Sustainability Conference brings together national experts for a one-day forum on plants, landscapes and our roles as stewards of the Earth. Join us, Rick Darke and Doug Tallamy, and learn how you can positively impact the environment.
The price of registration, which includes a catered lunch, is $90 for Phipps/OSHER members and $100 for nonmembers on or before Oct. 11; the cost increases by $15 after this date. Please register in advance by visiting phipps.conservatory.org and selecting "Classes and Programs" or by calling 412/441-4442, ext. 3925. This conference will be held at the William Pitt Union at the University of Pittsburgh.
Looking at the Layered Landscape: Rick Darke will discuss the living layers in local and regional landscapes, both as they naturally occur and as they are modified by humans. This exploration will provide a basis for understanding the essential characteristics of healthy layers and how they can be conserved and enhanced in home gardens and shared landscapes.
Specialized Relationships in Nature: Doug Tallamy will explain how specialized relationships between plants and animals work; why these relationships determine the health of local food webs that support animal diversity; why it is important to restore biodiversity to our residential properties; and what we need to do to make our landscapes function as ecosystems.
Designing and Maintaining the Living Landscape: Rick Darke will illustrate how an understanding of living layers and relational biodiversity can be put to practical use in creating and maintaining residential gardens and community landscapes. He will also present detailed strategies for employing organic architecture in building beautiful, highly functional layers.
Rick Darke is an author, photographer and design consultant whose work blends art, ecology and cultural geography in the design and stewardship of livable landscapes. He has been featured in publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, and Gardens Illustrated, and his books include The American Woodland Garden: Capturing the Spirit of the Deciduous Forest, In Harmony With Nature: Lessons from the Arts & Crafts Garden, The Encyclopedia of Grasses for Livable Landscapes, and The Wild Garden: Expanded Edition. His latest work, The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden, was written in collaboration with Doug Tallamy.
Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 80 research articles and taught courses for 32 years. Chief among his goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. In 2007, he published Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens, a Garden Writer's Association silver medalist, and in 2014, The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, was released. Tallamy has also received a Garden Club of America Margaret Douglas Medal for Conservation and a Tom Dodd Jr. Award of Excellence.

Nakajima, M. et al. Reconstitution of circadian oscillation of cyanobacterial KaiC phosphorylation in vitro. Science 308, 414–415 (2005). DOI: 10.1126/science.1108451
I have a strong belief that people are way too oversensitive and dismissive towards topics they consider to be "pretentious." Don't get me wrong - I'm not a fan of jargon or elitism, but I think that a lot of otherwise well-intentioned people are so anti-pretentiousness that they wind up completely writing off huge, really interesting ideas and ways of thinking. Like for example, I remember in college people would always joke about "postmodernism" as if it were so vague and nebulous that it didn't mean anything, when actually it obviously does mean something and it totally makes sense and has really clearly shaped the way we all think about everything. People write off all sorts experimental movies and books that are totally amazing, but I think these people could really get off on the content if they could just let down their guard for a while. Every academic field probably has something like "postmodernism" that everyone thinks is just jargon-filled bullshit but is actually super interesting if you could shut up and get over your "2 cool 4 school" attitude.
In biology, this topic is called "Systems Biology." All over the streets you hear students claiming that Systems Biology is just a meaningless buzz-word catch-all for describing any biology done on computers, that its just a set of terminology you throw on your grants and papes to make them seem "sexier" and more "in the now" as the kids say. This is obviously not true, as anyone who has read even the first page of Uri Alon's "Introduction to Systems Biology" textbook (which is literally all I've read of that book but my spine is still tingling) can tell you.
SO: For anyone who thinks that Systems Biology is just an excuse to wear European thick-rimmed eyeglasses and hang out in newly designed avant garde architecture steel-n-glass biology buildings, please take a serious and personal moment to have a true experience with this deep, ancient and simple beauty that emanates from this sick pape.
Nearly all living things have some type of circadian clock. Different times of day present different challenges and opportunities, and having a built-in clock helps us prepare to take purchase on these. While the circadian clocks in humans operate on a pretty complicated mechanism, there are much simpler clocks in more ancient organisms.
In cyanobacteria, we already knew that only three proteins are required for the circadian rhythm. What's more (and whats way sicker) is that the circadian rhythm can function totally fine even if you completely block both transcription and translation. WHAT?
What the psychadelic magicians of this study did was to take those three proteins, put them in a test tube with ATP, and show that these three proteins take turns adding and then removing phosphate groups from themselves in a feedback loop that takes 24 hours to complete. That's it. Its just a chemical reaction between three proteins, in a test tube, that is fine-tuned to take 24 hours to repeat, and from that 24 hour cycle the organism can read out the time.
I think that is the bleeding heart of the systems approach: you can take the qualitative behavior of a biological process (circadian rhythm, for example) and understand it as the result of an interacting system of parts (three proteins in an ATP-dependent autophosphorylation and de-phosphorylation cycle). You can't just study each individual protein by itself, the whole thing only makes sense when viewed as a system. Is that really so elite and complicated, you pricks? If you can just take a break from obsessing about which field is cool and which field is pretentious, you could devote a little more time to seeing the only thing that really matters: what is really sick right now?
(That picture up there also proves that if you're opposed to systems biology, you will miss out on some very groovy Western Blots).
I was wondering what was sick right now and it's this.

Awesome for the price!

Not a bad little puppy. Was quite surprised. Although you have to pull the trigger a mile and a half to get there, it lets you know just before a very light and consistent firing point. I can't reall describe how good the trigger feel is when you do get to that point. A fairly decent shooter can be quite accurate with this little thing. Really makes the mountain dew cans jump. As a grownup with my own kids now, I gotta say it made me feel 12 again!! And for those complaining about the co2 seepage when changing the cartridge....Turn the screw faster. Good grief. What do you expect for $40??

the gun is OK but when you put in the co2 all of the co2 will come out until you screw it fast and the magazine on mine just broke after doing nothing. it will not go in and i tried to get it in. the magazine or the mechanize is broken after leaving in its holster for a day and not shooting it. ONLY buy this if you want to get a gun for fun shooting, for about a day or two or a movie prop

Cool pistol. I like that it comes with the bonus holster.
@rchampion_13-you can buy a 2 pack of spare mags at Walmart. I think they may be available on the Crosman website too.
Loading the CO2 is a bit tricky, which i my only issue.

Some difficulty loading the CO2 cartridges but gets better with practice. Clip failed the 1st day of use but Crosman agreed to replace under warrantee. All things considered, not a bad buy.

Dreadfully Disappointed

It is IMPOSSIBLE to insert the CO2 cartridge without it all leaking out. Because of this foulsome irritant DO NOT BUY this gun. I have several Crossman BB guns and the cartridges all load easily with a simple little hiss and not like this beast that blasts all the CO2 out until it is seated!

It's a great pistol. The only problem I've had is, the magazine/clip. Where might I find one. My old one always drops the pellets. Other than that it's great for its price.
If there is a place that sells mags for this please let me know

This week, it was announced that changes to the National Football League's Pro Bowl are inching toward approval – changes that might institute a draft of eligible players – do fans of the Green Bay Packers really care?
Nearly a year and thousands of miles removed from the 2014 Pro Bowl – which, by the way, will again be played in Hawaii – there may be Packers players who participate. But I'm willing to guess that the number of Packers fans who will attend will be minimal, minute and disinterested.
I've made myself clear in many other posts that this game must go away – even with the newest changes being considered. It's a bore, inconsequential and insignificant. The only people on the planet who have an interest in seeing it continue are the players who participate only for the money and the television moguls who – you guessed it – are interested only in the money.
So, why do we even talk about it? Yeah, you're right … because of the money.
We know how interested Aaron Rodgers is in the game – he blasted his comrades a couple of seasons ago for their lack of effort and didn't even participate last season. They said he was injured and he probably was hurt, but we know the real reason. Clay Matthews was also a scratch. Many on the roster were second and third choices, so it's billing as an "all-star" game is surely dulled.
Oh, and the changes for next year? They propose having a draft where designated captains select players for their team. It might be fun, but to me it's a gimmick. Who gets selected first? Who gets selected last? The lines in Las Vegas are already being drawn.
So, in the end, this is a game that has no place in the NFL. Packers fans don't give a rip about it, Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews have demonstrated they don't give a rip about it, and the NFL should do the right thing and not give a rip about it either.
Scrap it.

Will pass, I don't like this kind of music at all. Anyway. it's funny I had this same idea like 2 years ago, maybe it'll someday materialize if my friends learn how to code properly in Unity :C
@Joruus_Cbaoth ikr? I have played this mode for like 0 hours and dude does it suck. Worst mode EVAH!!1
I don't get how there were so many people calling this an inferior version even though we hadn't had any information about it. This game will be huge (in every way posible)
Bring it on NLife
Bayonetta 2 physical for me, I guess it will be kind of difficult to find it tomorrow due to the few stores that will have it available here. And I'm seriously having a hard time deciding between Shantae (for me) or Pokémon AA (for my little nephew)... oh yeah, and my wallet is still in the hospital if anyone was wondering.
I get what the reviewer tries to say about the "sexualization" of some characters, I mean, it's WayForward. But I'm not even slightly bothered by that so I'll get this gem as soon as I can. That price though... $15 would've been nice.
This guy deserves all the cookies of the world, amazing!
Yeah... I might get EO IV this time. Atlus knows how to get the attention upon these titles.
Mega Steelix looks pretty awesome, but I'll keep Aggron for my steel necessities. And... While I understand the hate for some of the Megas I still think they're a nice addition and that it shakes the formula in a good way. The fact that you can only use one ME by fight makes it balanced in a way.
@melvin2898 "She hasn't done anything bad", well about that... http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/29252551
My wallet is bleeding! So, next week we'll have Shantae, Bayonetta 2 and this? What else Nintendo? Oh yes, Castlevania on the VC.
Then release the 2 Pokémon Stadium for the VC, please! The minigames alone justify buying them
Man what a good week. I'll wait for reviews of some of the indie titles and if they end up well I guess I'll pick a few this week. And maybe I'll get EO IV if the price is right, we'll see.
This seems interesting, and it could make some funny spin off tournaments of amiibo vs. amiibo. I'll certainly buy a pair for me.
Those tricks are really clever. I wonder how he figured out the second one in world 1-3. I mean, HOW would someone think about doing that? And it doesn't even look like it was an honest mistake. My respect to this guy.
A retail store in Mexico, called Gameplanet, did a limited distribution... There's no codes left right now
Yay, Kirby's Dream Course pour moi. And I wonder if I should pick up Kersploosh...
Come on NOA! If they don't release it here it'd seriously mean they don't like money
I almost bought Guacamelee last week but I decided to wait for a sale... YES!
The main idea is very good, I just hope they can materialize it in the right way.
btw, where's the NA Nintendo Download of this week?
Will keep and eye on some of these titles
@8bitforever Is it really confusing to you? I mean, the more choices we have the better, right?
YES, now I don't need to buy a Classic Controller to play my N64 games on Wii mode. I'm buying a Pro Controller in the future though, it's logical that not every single game will be played with the GC one.
All I've got to say is...
I love the trailer. The game looks ok, we'll see how it ends although I may buy it just to support him.
I like the aproach he has in these games, he'd rather make a very different sequel than just play it safe and "fix" the past game. That causes that everyone has a different favorite game, like Zelda, wich is awesome. Having more choices is always better.
I wish we could see Jontron playing and swearing in the next video, but that's probably not going to happen
I don't see it as a problem, I mean, Japan got it weeks ago so it's not like they'll be the first mortals who will play it. In Mexico they'll probably have it today, and I'm really thinking on getting it... decisions decisions.
On the other hand, the Pokémon case was a sad story because they broke Masuda-san's dream of a worldwide release. THOSE PEOPLE SHOULD BURN IN HELL!!1
The game plays perfectly fine without a second analogue stick, I don't think a person who owns a New 3DS has any kind of advantage against a normal 3DS user. Unless the latter is a n00b!
Who needs folders when WE CAN HAVE ALL THIS STABILITY
This is so nice. It's a shame Martin couldn't finish the race
Calm down people, they never said it isn't coming, they just don't know yet.
What a beautiful commercial. Pikachu looks insanely cute and Samus looks really cool. I guess I'll be getting the New 3DS, I never upgraded to a XL so the change won't feel strange or something.
One can never have too much stability, go Nintendo
I'd buy this game even if every site gave it a 3/10. Next week will be the longest of all
@OmegaStar What's ridiculous?
No, just no. Please don't allow this Nintendo!
@minotaurgamer lol wut? Pikmin 3 is a great game, my 9 year-old cousin and my 6 year-old nephew love it as well and trust me, they're neither the things you said. And I'd like to buy DK TF but I want it physical
First rhe Smash Club in Canada and now this? I won't stop saying it, WE NEED A NINTENDO OF LATIN AMERICA branch
I'd like to buy some of these games but since I'll buy Hyrule Warriors this week and Smash the next one so I might just buy Kirby's Dream Land 3 :C
Also, here are the mexican prices for the Wii U sales:
DK Tropical Freeze MXN $649.99
Donkey Kong MXN $39.99
DK Jr. MXN $39.99
Pikmin 3 MXN $699.99 (do yourself a favor and buy this one)
PAC-MAN and the ghostly adventures MXN $157.00
Kirby's Dream Land 3 MXN $69.99 (buy the other 2 on the 3DS!!!)
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror MXN $59.99
And... that's it, I'll check the 3DS sales later.
I just got my platinum status this morning, just in case
I have a mancrush for Sakurai, the guy is always so confident about his games and the way he makes them is awesome too, the process of taking the essence of a genre and adapting it into something different. To this day I've enjoyed every of his games I've played and I'm surely gonna play whatever he makes in the future.
And I think the decision of taking out the adventure-like mode was fine. I would've done the same
@Beetlejuice I'm not saying he's ruining the eShop, or that he's not allowed to sell those games (I said it in my first comment). I'm just saying that he sould've worked harder instead of doing this. But in the end, that's just my opinion. I love to see when people make things with love.
@Beetlejuice Have you read what he said? He just made it because The Letter and IQ Test were selling more than his games. He could've worked harder but instead, he decided to join those... developers. I'm not saying every game out there must be a piece of art, but I guess one must try to do their best within each one's own lmitations.
And just to clarify, I'm not losing my sleep

It seems like all I've been posting lately are excuses about why I've been inactive. While I'd really like to keep this blog, I've honestly lost motivation for it. I try to log on every now and then and check on other peoples' posts, but that's the extent of my activity.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'll pop in every now and then, but I won't be very active at all. I won't feel offended if you decide to unfollow me, haha!
I'm going to San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks with a Pokemon related cosplay, so maybe I'll have something to post up then.
If anyone's interested in seeing my non-Pokemon things, my personal/art tumblr (which I am MUCH more active on) is http://eribao.tumblr.com/!))
((Just something I wanted to show you guys!
I went to a con a while ago and while I was there…
Whoooooo!! She was really super nice—she stayed around for I think three hours because there was a massive lineup to get her autograph/picture. I personally waited about an hour but it was fine because there were a lot of awesome cosplayers walking around to keep me entertained haha. When I finally got to meet her I got all starstruck and jittery, I apologised that my Pokeball looked so gross because it was about a decade old. And she said that it was okay, because it looked like I'd been adventuring with it and I was all *w*
Well anyway, that's what I've been up to lately xD))

text: Fox Comedy Changes Name After Trayvon Martin Killing Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 4 May 2012 post a comment There's nothing funny about the promotional damage control behind the scenes at Fox's upcoming summer comedy "Neighborhood Watch." Or, at least the film formerly known as "Neighborhood Watch." The comedy, starring Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Ben Stiller, didn't have much to worry about until a neighborhood watcher named George Zimmerman killed a Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, earlier this year under still-unknown circumstances. The studio is now calling the film simply "The Watch." It remains to be seen if the shuffling will impact the film's box office grosses. This summer's movie lineup is heavy on action, light on fluffy comedy. It's likely the name change won't hurt the movie, although the choice of such a generic title just might.

Chapter 10 : The Second Task
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 3
Background: Font color:
I wriggled back further into the covers, trying to find the warmest spot and drift back to sleep, and realized that there was something very warm wrapped around me. Propping myself up on an elbow, I twisted round to see the outline of someone lying next to me, their arms around me, breathing slowly and deeply. I squinted through the darkness and realized it was Fred. He must have moved me into the bed after Hermione left – how had I not woken up? I guess I had been pretty exhausted, but still, you'd think that would've roused me.
I turned back over, pulling the covers right up to my ear, and snuggling back into Fred's arms. It really was very comfortable…
"Oi, Ruby."
I groaned and pulled my covers over my head.
"Ruby, come on."
Curling into a ball, I tried to block out the voice that seemed intent on rousing me.
"I've got sausages…"
I sat up, letting the covers slide off my face. Fred was perched on the edge of the bed, grinning at me.
"Morning," he said cheerfully. "How'd you sleep?"
"Really well," I yawned. "What about you?"
"Ditto," he said. "I've got breakfast out here, if you want it."
I shrugged, and said, "I guess I could eat," just as my stomach rumbled audibly. Fred smirked.
"Just…'scuse me for a minute," I said, clambering out of the bed and dashing into the bathroom.
I squinted at my reflection in the mirror as I brushed my teeth. My hair was a disaster, and I looked paler than usual, but aside from that I looked almost normal. It seemed impossible that I wasn't physically changed; I felt like I had become a completely different person since the night of the ball.
I rinsed my mouth out, washed my face, and went to join Fred in the common room. There were two breakfast trays sitting on the coffee table, and the smell drifting from them was absolutely mouth-watering. I realized with a jolt that I hadn't eaten since Christmas morning, two days earlier. No wonder I was so hungry.
Later, once we'd finished eating, we met George and Lee on the Quidditch pitch. Fred and George took off flying, but Lee and I stayed sitting in the stands, watching them whip back and forth, shouting to each other. Lee pulled me into a hug, and I rested my head on his shoulder. He didn't try to get me talking, and I was grateful. I needed to plan my next move.
By the time we went back in for lunch, I had it all worked out. I would talk to Harry and get all the facts. That way I would know whether or not mum was in the wrong. It would be easy enough, I figured, to straighten it all out with Harry first – with mum it was likely that I would get too emotional and the story would become skewed. So I resolved to find Harry and get it all out in the open.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the Boy Who Lived had other ideas. Whenever I tried to speak to him, he would make an excuse or duck out; he avoided me in the halls; even Ron and Hermione had started to avoid me – I suspected they had been instructed not to say anything.
Meanwhile, my mother was trying to get me to come see her and talk about it, but I couldn't face her yet. I was still too angry. She owled me almost daily, trying to reason with me. There was no point in lying, so I told her what I'd heard (leaving Harry out of it, of course – he didn't need to be made an enemy by one of the Triwizard officials), and that I needed time to think things through.
By the time the second task rolled around, I hadn't spoken properly to my mother in over two months, and I knew nothing else about my father. So far my plan wasn't going all that well.
Fortunately, Lee, Fred, and George were keeping me busy and somewhat distracted. We had begun studying for our end-of-term exams (well, I had, and Lee joined me occasionally. The twins didn't seem too fussed about it, honestly), and as practice for our practical exams, I had started to duel them each, and give them pointers. While this was an excellent exercise for all involved, it also resulted in a few hard-to-explain injuries. For example, we were duelling in an empty classroom one day, and – completely by accident, I swear – I'd knocked Lee out and given him a pair of antlers. Just as I was getting ready to fix him, McGonagall walked past. I had been expecting that she might give me detention, or worse, send me to Dumbledore. Surprisingly she just pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and muttered something that sounded like, "Munroes".
On the brisk February afternoon of the second task, I crowded in on the shore of the Black Lake with the twins and Lee. The four of us huddled together under a large flannel blanket passing a thermos of tea back and forth. Three of the champions were already in position by the judges' table, but Harry was missing, causing a great deal of excitement among the students and staff. Also missing, though slightly less conspicuous, were Ron and Hermione. I pointed this out to Fred, who shrugged, unconcerned, and bellowed something incredibly rude at Cedric Diggory. He looked over towards us and I shook my head, pointing to Fred and mouthing an apology. Cedric grinned and came over.
"Hey, Ruby," he called, stopping in front of the crowd. "Alright?"
Cedric had been checking up on me since my fainting spell at the ball, much to Fred, George, and Lee's displeasure.
"I'm great, thanks," I replied. "You all set?"
"Yeah," he replied.
"Diggory, what are you doing?" McGonagall's voice sliced through the chilly air. "Please return to the champions' positions at once!"
"Just a minute, Professor," Cedric called over his shoulder. He turned back to me. "Listen, Ruby, d'you have any idea where Harry is?"
I shook my head, frowning.
"None. Is anyone looking for him?"
"Flitwick went up to the castle a few minutes ago," Cedric replied. "I'm sure he'll turn up."
"Yeah," I replied, not entirely convinced.
Cedric returned to where the rest of the champions waited. I turned to Lee to say maybe one of us ought to go and look for him, when suddenly Harry came hurtling out of the trees and lurched to a stop, clutching his side. Bagman appeared at his side moments later, muttering something in his ear. Within seconds the whistle blew, and they were off.
Silence descended upon the students as the champions made their way into the water. Cedric, Krum, and Fleur had all disappeared almost instantly, but Harry stood, knee-deep in the black water, seemingly waiting for something to happen.
I heard a giggle from somewhere behind me, and turned to glare at a fourth year Slytherin girl with a squished-looking face.
"What's he doing?" Lee muttered.
"Dunno," Fred replied in an undertone. "Merlin, I hope he isn't going to forfeit."
"He won't," I said with a great deal more certainty than I felt.
The buzz of chatter and laughter was spreading through the crowd now, and I could see Harry blushing. Then, suddenly, I saw it.
"Look!" I cried.
Harry had suddenly thrown himself forwards in the water, but not before I'd seen his webbed fingers grasping at his throat – at his gills!
"Gilliweed!" I exclaimed.
"How'd he get that?" Fred wondered.
"Must've been on our last Hogsmeade visit," Lee said. "There's no way he'd ask Snape to get it from his stores."
The champions had an hour to retreive their stolen item, which is too long to ask a bunch of kids to wait in silent anticipation, so after about five minutes Lee broke out his chess set and he and I watched Fred and George play, before taking a turn ourselves. In the midst of a struggle between two of my bravest pawns and Lee's only remaining bishop, though, we were distracted by the return of Fleur – seemingly without her stolen object. She seemed a bit battered, and as Madam Pomfrey helped her into a blanket Ludo Bagman's voice echoed across the lake to us.
"Ms. Delacour has, regrettably, been forced to abandon the task prior to completion after being attacked by Grindylows. She has not sustained serious injury, but will not continue in the task."
"She doesn't look too happy," George said, peering across the lake. "What d'you reckon's wrong?"
"I guess whatever they took is probably pretty important to her," I said, shrugging.
"Probably her mirror," Fred laughed.
Lee and I returned to our game, which wrapped up within minutes. Having beaten Lee once again, I glanced at my watch. The hour was almost up, but there was no sign of the other champions. My stomach squirmed nervously.
"Time!" cried Lee, startling me. "Where are they?"
No sooner had he spoken, ripples appeared in the surface of the lake, and Cedric appeared, supporting a very wet but cheerful-looking Cho Chang.
"They took people?" I asked, dumbfounded. "That is completely mental."
"Dumbledore wouldn't let anyone get hurt, though, Ruby," Fred pointed out.
Cedric and Cho were helped back on to dry land by several of the people waiting around the judges' table, including my mother. Madam Pomfrey began to take care of them as Viktor Krum emerged from the lake, with a firm grip on –
"Is that Hermione?" George asked, squinting.
"I think it is," Lee said, laughing. "That is too good!"
"Don't laugh," I scolded him. "I think it's sweet."
Hermione didn't appear to be paying much attention to Krum, though, and was instead frantically talking to Bagman, who was looking almost as worried as her.
"Where – " George began.
"In the name of Merlin's curliest wig," Fred continued.
"Is Harry?" George finished.
We weren't the only ones anxious for Harry's return. Across the lake, Hermione looked positively beside herself.
"He's well outside the hour," Lee said, checking his watch again.
"Blimey," said George. "You don't reckon – "
"I think they must have," Fred said, realization dawning on his face.
"They can't have," George said, shaking his head.
"Well, they took Hermione and Cho, didn't they?" Fred replied, angrily.
"What are you two on about?" Lee asked.
"It's Ron," George said simply. "He's Harry's stolen thing. He must be."
At that moment, a roar went up from the crowd, and I looked back out at the lake. Three heads were floating on the water, black-, ginger-, and sliver-haired. I sighed in relief and cheered with the rest of the students.
Harry and Ron helped the silver-haired girl (clearly Fleur's sister) out of the water, then climbed up themselves. They were immediately seen to by Madam Pomfrey. Dumbledore had come to the edge of the water and was speaking in a strange, shrieking tongue to what appeared to be a Merman.
"That's Mermish!" I exclaimed excitedly.
Apparently the Mer-person had some important information to share, because Dumbledore motioned the other judges over briefly, before Bagman began shouting out the scores. Fleur received half marks, because of the Grindylows; Cedric came in first, with forty-seven points (I cheered politely, but Fred, George, and Lee remained stonily silent.); Krum was awarded forty-five points; and apparently Harry had found the hostages first, but was reluctant to leave without Hermione, Cho, Fleur's relation, and Ron as well, so he got forty-five points for "moral fibre", despite getting back to the surface so late.
As we walked back into the castle, Fred and George were chanting "moral fibre, moral fibre" at the top of their lungs, and Lee, who had linked arms with me, rolled his eyes affectionately.
I turned to see my mother walking briskly towards us, making her way through the throng of students.
"Bugger," I muttered. "Hurry up, Lee."
"Ruby, don't you think it might be time to…" Lee trailed off at the look on my face. "Never mind."
I made a beeline for the marble staircase, camouflaging myself amongst the hundreds of black robes. Glancing back, I saw her standing in the middle of the steps, looking frustrated. Well, served her right.
"Come on," Fred said cheerfully, seeing my grim expression. "Party in Gryffindor tower."

Anyone get their orders or an
Anyone get their orders or an ETA on shipping dates?
So the best conclusion I can
So the best conclusion I can come to is: These must have not been backorder-able for awhile? Is that why somebody went through the trouble to post all of them?
It makes me a little nervous
It makes me a little nervous that they're still taking orders 7 hours since the deal was posted. I got in within a couple of minutes but there must be 1000's of back orders placed by now. By the way, the 9mm ammo order I placed with these guys over 3 months ago is still on back order. Fortunately, they don't charge till the order ships, so it's all good.
FYI: Guys, you have to stay up to date on coupons with the vendors on this site. The 'DUT' code worked like a charm so my order of 500 rounds came in at 144.98. We gotta save where we can with this expensive hobby we have!
Tracking grid above not
Tracking grid above not accurate. Gander Mtn listed @ $60 for 250 are sold out. Bass Pro site says only available in store at $70. Every store I called is out.

In for 4. Shipping is $14 . So it came out to $0.29/rd..
Is this brass or steel-cased?
Is this brass or steel-cased? The description merely says "metal." Thanks.
Rem UMC is available in both
Rem UMC is available in both brass and nickel. The boxes for the nickel are slightly different, they're generally advertised as nickel, and their price is slightly higher than the brass cased.
Rem UMC usually refers to their FMJ rounds as MC (metal cased) in pistol and 223 rounds. So this listing is for FMJ rounds that are most likely brass cased.
Thanks - much appreciated.
Thanks - much appreciated.
Local shops are barely
Local shops are barely getting in any shipments. When they do they're gone w/in the hour. Going rate in NJ local now selling for $24.95 a box!! I'm in for 4 boxes. Just wonder how long it will take now...
Gone are the days of $10 a box of 9's... This equals out to a local box selling for $13.99.. + tax

Just ordered a few. Good
Just ordered a few. Good deal in current environment at $0.28/round. Folks fighting over single boxes of 9MM at retail and now selling at $0.50/round and up on Gunbroker. No signs drought is improving. 3 coupon codes listed don't work, but DUT does for $5 shipping, no matter how much you order. Has anyone heard of the expected ship date? My experience with Brownell's has been good.

A Message from the House of Commons, by Sir Phillip Stapleton: To desire a Conference, with a Committee
of both Houses, touching the Earl of Strafford's Business; and this to be presently, if it may stand with their
Lordships Conveniency.
The Answer was: That their Lordships will return an
Answer, by Messengers of their own.
After this, His Majesty came in Person to the House,
the Lords sitting all in their Robes. The House of
Commons came, with their Speaker. Then the Clerk
of the Crown reading the Title of a Bill, videlicet,
"An Act for preventing of Inconveniences happening
by the long Intermission of Parliaments," His Majesty
made a short Speech, to let both Houses know His
Gracious Intentions therein; and that there was never
any Thing of more Favour to the Subject than this;
which being ended, the Clerk of the Parliaments read
the Royal Assent to the aforesaid Act: videlicet,
"Le Roy le veult."
Next, the Speaker of the House of Commons presented, by a short Speech, an Act, intituled, "An Act
for Relief of His Majesty's Army and the Northern
Parts of the Kingdom, containing a Grant of Four
Entire Subsidies;" humbly beseeching His Majesty
to accept thereof. And the Clerk of the Crown reading the Title of it, the Clerk of the Parliament read the

"Le Roy, remerciant ses bones Subjects, accepte leur
Benevolence, et ainsi le veult."

took in the good Correspondency and Concurrence of
both Houses; and then he said, That the House of
Commons did desire that the Earl of Strafford may
be called upon, for his speedy Answer to the Accusation of High Treason against him. The Reasons
that moved the House of Commons were these:
1. Since they brought up his Charge, they have
found out fresh Matter to discover the Reasons of his
2. He is the Head of Discontented Faction.
3. He holds all his Great Places both in England
and Ireland.
4. The Fears of the People of the whole Kingdom, by reason of his Practices and Designs.

6. He stands accused of Great Treasons by the
House of Commons.
"Therefore the House of Commons desires that the
said Earl of Strafford may have a speedy Trial, which
they leave to the Wisdom and Justice of this House,
as their Lordships shall think fit."
After this, a Message was sent to the House of Commons, by the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas
and Mr. Justice Heath: To let them know how sensible
their Lordships are of His Majesty's great Favour this
Day in coming hither, and giving His Royal Assent to
the Bill for Parliaments; and that they are desirous that
both Houses may attend His Majesty, at such Time as
His Majesty shall please to appoint, to give Him humble
Thanks; and to know whether they will join with
them in it; and that Bonfires be made, and Bells to be
rung, both in London and Westmr.
These Lords following were appointed by the House
to attend His Majesty presently, to know what Time
His Majesty will please to appoint both Houses to wait
on Him for the Purpose aforesaid:
The Lord Chamberlain,
Earl of Bedford,Earl of Essex,Earl of Cambridge,Earl Bristoll,Earl Holland,Lord Viscount Say & Seale.
In the mean Time, these Lords following were appointed by the House, to draw up and prepare what
was fitting to (fn. *) be presented to His Majesty, by Way of
Thanks from both Houses: videlicet,
Ordered, That, on Saturday next, Phillip Bembrig, committed by this House for counterfeiting the
Hand and Seal of the Lord Faulconbridge; and likewise
William Speeringe, that bought the Protection, do appear here in Court.

Commons were now in Agitation, concerning the Business of the Message; and they will be ready to join
with this House, to give His Majesty Thanks, when
their Lordships shall give them Notice of the Time.
Ordered, That the Lady Wentworth shall have
Leave to visit the Earl of Strafford, her Brother-in-Law,
for One Time.
The Lords which attended His Majesty returned,
and signified to the House, That they have acquainted
His Majesty with the Desire of both Houses, to give
Him Thanks for His Favours this Day expressed to both
Houses; and His Majesty hath appointed this Afternoon, in The Banqueting House, at Whitehall, between
Two and Three of the Clock.
The Lords, which were deputed to draw up the
Heads of what they conceived fit to present His Majesty
with, returned, and offered a Paper to the House; the
Contents whereof was this: "That the Lord Keeper
is to give His Majesty most humble and hearty
Thanks, in the Name of both Houses and this whole
Kingdom, for His speedy and gracious Royal Assent
to the Bill, intituled, An Act for the preventing of
Inconveniences happening by the long Intermission of
Parliaments; which, as it is of singular Comfort and
Security to all His Subjects for the present, so we are
confident it will be of infinite Honour, and Settlement
of His Majesty's Royal Crown and Dignity, as well
as Comfort to our Posterity."
Which being read, and approved of by this House,
was sent down to the House of Commons, by the Lord
Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and Mr. Justice
Ordered, That the Lord Keeper do take Care that
Notice be given to the Lord Mayor of London, and the
Dean of Westm. that Bonfires be made, and the Bells
be rung.
Memorandum, This Day the Lord Keeper took the
Oath mentioned in the Bill that passed the Royal Assent
this Day, intituled, "An Act for the preventing of Inconveniences happening by the long Intermission of
Parliaments;" which was administered unto him at
the Clerk's Table, the Clerk of the Crown reading the
Words, in hæc verba:
"You shall swear that you will truly and faithfully
issue forth, and send abroad, all Writs of Summons
to Parliament for both Houses, at such Time, and in
such Manner, as is expressed and enjoined by an Act
of Parliament, intituled, An Act for the preventing
of Inconveniences happening by the long Intermission
of Parliaments, etc."
After this, the Petition of the Earl of Strafford was
Twice read, in hæc verba: videlicet,
To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal, in the High Court of Parliament assembled.
The humble Petition of Thomas Earl of Strafford, His Majesty's Lieutenant General of
"Most humbly sheweth,
"That whereas he is given to understand your Lordships did dislike, that, in his former Petition, the further Time he humbly craved for putting in his Answer was not expressed, he trusteth to obtain your
Lordships Pardon, in regard he held it a Presumption
in him to set down any in certain, but better befitting
his Condition in all Humility to submit himself entirely to your Lordships good Pleasure therein.
"But now, with all Obedience to your Lordships,
he beseecheth it may be considered that the First
Charge was in such general Terms as he could not
know well what to answer; and now he finds the
further Impeachment to be of such Length and
Weight, as it were not possible to prepare his Answer
in the Time prefixed.
"His humble Suit, therefore, to your Lordships is,
That you will be nobly pleased to enlarge his former
Time Fourteen Days longer, in which, by God's
Help, his Answer shall be put in, and sooner, if in
any wise he can effect it.
"And he shall wish unto your Noble Lordships
the Increase and Continuance of all Honour
and Happiness.
Ordered, That the Earl of Strafford be brought
hither by the Lieutenant of The Tower, and Personally
appear here, To-morrow Morning, to put in his Answer
to his Charge, according to the Tenor of a former Order made by this House.
Dominus Custos Magni Sigilli declaravit præsens Parliamentum continuandum esse usque in diem Mercurii,
videlicet, 17m diem instantis Februarii, hora nona, Dominis sic decernentibus.
Huc usque examinatur per Dominos,
He. Bathon.Warwicke.Rob. Brooke.

Shelter, always reminds me home. As some people said, home is your last shelter. Only at home, you'll feel safe; Only with family, you'll have no fear. But it is a long way of building up one for yourself. Lots of connections, constructions and deconstruction involve. As I wrote when I featured this film, it reminded me a lot of our current construction work around the house, but I would not feel so satisfied if I had not work so hard for it. You will never find a better place to invest your energy, love and passion on other than your own home and family.
Not like other 3D animation film, Shelter brought us a lot of free minds, lots of thinking. It could be anything you thought of, or any spirit you had. It is like a open ended exam questions, you will never be wrong or right. It just let you meditate. Let's do it with this week's top rated new film on VoteMov, Shelter from Carl Burton.
And thanks to Carl, we have an email interview with him to share some more background information on Shelter and his future plans. Check out the interview.
Follow our BOTW, and each week, we'll bring you the best short film and an interview with the creator.
This is a interesting thought of putting together NASA footage with a soliloquy from a dying robot. Never thought of a Sci-fi like this. Telling the story from a outsider, the robot's point of view.
But personally I'm not really into this graphically. The footage is not as attractive as some VFX and repeat a lot. While the story is good, but it feels like I am listening to a radio or audio book. Film is story plus picture, it won't be tempting without any of these.
Well refreshing presentation could do a magic to any film, just like Robbie. Votes from viewers shows that we all love new things, and trying new stuff will always get support! And after all it was just a romantic gift for Neil's girlfriend, I might have taken it too serious. It's your votes and your opinions the most respective one here on VoteMov. Let's hear more from you guys!
Our voted best indie film of the week (08-Sep-12 to 15-Sep-12) by Neil Harvey from Sydney, Australia,Robbie.
Afghanistan- touch down in flight. A beautiful short film shows a whole new side of the country and proves me to be so prejudiced. I am touched deeply by this short film with no single line of word. Only the land, the people and the music could turn my 30 year's prejudice around. It's a great work and any great piece of creation ought to be, manipulating people's mind in a good way.
Our voted best indie movie of the week (1st Sep 2012-7th Sep 2012)- Afghanistan touch down in flight by Augustin Pictures.
It's been pretty busy for us recently. Sorry about the delay. Puffer Fish, a short comedy movie written and directed by Brandon Vedder, is the best new Movie submitted between 02/03/2012 and 09/03/2012. It's also officially selected by Malibu International Film Festival and NewFilmmakers LA.
Another great short video from Brandon Vedder, "Shangri La-Yacht". Enjoy! @ VoteMov.com
D Animations are my favorites! This one is the best I've seen recently. Simple story but great animation works. Here is VoteMov's 4th weekly best new movie, "Monkey Moon" by Center NAD.
A monkey is casually enjoying his banana in the jungle when he suddenly gets captured and thrown into space.

Dr. Max Bergman is the Chief Medical Examiner who is frequently seen in most episodes dealing with a dead body.
Max is a genius who plays the piano and is a comic book enthusiast. His biological mother, Michiyo Takeshita unexpectedly gave birth to him. Not knowing what to do, she gave Max to a church. A few years later, she revisited the church and wanted her son back as she had straightened her life out. She was later killed by the Deacon, also known as the 'Trashman.' Max never met his biological mother and was later adopted and given the name, 'Bergman.'
He also has his fair share of knowledge on world events such as World War II and the 'Battle of the Bulge'. Sometimes, the Five-0 team can be either amused or annoyed at Max's nature and sarcasm. He is considered a close friend to the team, and he had treated McGarrett after he was stabbed by Victor Hesse.
In the season 2 finale, while the Five-0 team and HPD investigate the murder of Captain Fryer, Max follows a trail of blood to the shooter. He is shot in the abdomen but later recovers in hospital.
By season 3, he is back to work in the morgue although he is seen temporarily using a cane to help him walk.

Season TwoEdit
In the finale, Max is shot by a suspect, and later shown recovering in the hospital.
