I am a recent member of the Harry Potter fandom, but I have always had a passion for the written word, and I hope to fulfill it here. I live in a relatively boring corner of Idaho, and I like Kokanee and a good book!
So, I suppose you're wondering what's up with my username. Even if you're not, this is how that happened. No, I was not aspiring to be a Gryffindor. I can't think of any house to which I would belong less than Gryffindor, in fact. It was a moment of clarity that I got while I was battling with myself about whether I should want to be Sorted into Gryffindor to be like Harry or to be Sorted elsewhere and follow my own path. I thought it to be much like the contemplative scene in Hamlet when he weighed taking his own life. I'm not trying to be melodramatic. That's simply is what popped into my head when I was trying to sign up to leave a review. :D

Watching From A Distance by Gmariam
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is celebrating the end of seventh year when he runs into a former girlfriend. She brings him over to the Gryffindor table, where he finally interacts with someone he's been watching for a while, someone he thinks about far too often. Their interaction and future plans give him hope, but the night ends with a crushing reminder that he wants someone he cannot have.
Holy crap, how do I have such an amazing e-Twin? I don't even... this story was like you sucked it out of my imagination and planted it (rather beautifully) on the page just for me.
I think what I adore the most, besides your mastery of easy dialogue, is the subtle characterisation you do. Like when Albus thanks the bartender and calls her by name, or Roxy's demeanour showing that she still digs Scorpius, even early in the fic when we don't know that she still pines for him for sure. These are the reasons why I fall in love with your fics.
I really do they end up having... something in the end. My boys deserve a bit of smut. :D
Heart you, Twinnnnnnnnnnnn!
Orphans of the Storm by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary: On the run for nine months, Dean spent his time deliberately not thinking of his friends as he struggled to survive, but he could not control his thoughts at night.
In his final year, Seamus longed for release from the daily torture of the Carrows' regime.
In her room, Parvati had made a list of all the things she wished to do if she survived, but wasn't sure she could carry it through.
After the Battle, the three of them relax by the lake.
Who knew their thoughts had been so intertwined?

Jess (ToBeOrNotToHaveTheLongestUserNameOnTheBoard), this is for you. Happy Birthday, mate.
Ta, lots, Gina, for the speedy beta job and Emma for the Irish help.
Gah, the grass! I laughed for a solid five minutes. You are just supurb.
This story is gorgeous in many, many ways. First, it's got the hurt/comfort element that I love so much in post war fics, but then it's also got that easy camaraderie of characters, that believability that I crave in their interactions. It just felt like a slice of super!canon (what I call not quite canon, but it's better so nyah!). I will admit, I was rooting for a threesome, but you said there was no smut due to archive restraints. I guess I'm at your mercy that you'll post more on clickysmut at some point. :D
Btw, my favourite character in all of this was Seamus. Just the way he talked and acted... he was perfect.
Thank you so much for the gorgeous birthday gift, but I do demand that you tell me who the couple in the common room was. I need to knowwwwwwww, because I'm too thick to figure it out on my own.
Very much lubs,

This is a birthday present for the absolutely fabulous Jess/ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor.
I owe an indefinite amount of thanks to my super speedy and gorgeously amazing beta Elen� for making this story readable.
And while we're here I should probably mention that I'm not JKR
Has anyone ever told you that you're utterly fabulous? No? But you areeeeeee! Oh my Salazar, I couldn't have picked a better fic to have written for me. It's just so melancholy and sad and sexual and perfect. You just picked up all the right things to put into the story for me, and you did it with your usually mind-blowing style. I can't even... gahhhhh!
I think my favourite part was the... blase reaction from Theo when he was told the baby was no longer coming (I wonder whether it was an abortion or a miscarriage). He wasn't angry or crying or melodramatic... just numb. That feels so right for the Theo in my head.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the lovely gift. You are an amazing friend, and I want to squish you right now.
I'm glad you liked Theo in this story. Originally, I'd planned it as being a miscarriage but when my lovely beta mentioned she thought it was abortion, I decided to leave it ambiguous (I didn't want it to be interpreted by people as a pro-life campaign where only bad things arise from abortion, so in order to leave it as unpolitical as possible it's up for interpretation).
You are so welcome, and I am so happy you liked this! I decided I should write Susan/Theo since you were the one who undoubtedly convinced me that it *could* happen -- and probably did :).

Funny Business by ChocolateInTheLibrary
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: This is ChocolateInTheLibrary of Gryffindor writing for the 2011 Mysterious May Challenge in the Great Hall, Prompt #1.
When a beautiful silver pendant shaped like a lily goes missing from the Dursleys' attic, ten-year-old Harry is naturally blamed. Determined to locate the necklace, which he suspects may have belonged to his mother, he discovers an even more bizarre mystery in the process.
You know, I'm going to preface my review with a bit of honesty. I've recently read a story focused on Petunia and Harry's interaction before Hogwarts and really didn't like what was done with it. So much so, in fact, that I nearly didn't read this story because of it. But now I'm here to admit to the entire planet that it was a good thing I did so anyway.
It is a fine line to walk when writing Petunia. There is such a temptation to either turn her into a fire-breathing monster or to make her out to be a carbon copy of that sad little girl who lost her best friend/sister in The Prince's Tale, but you were able to use a bit of both and turn her into the Petunia we knew from the very early chapters of Sorcerer's Stone. She still resented Harry's presence but showed the signs of knowing what was happening and being spooked by the tell-tale signs of magic in Harry. The title in itself is evidence to that with the recurrence of 'funny business'.
Harry well and truly had my sympathy in this story. You did so well in illustrating the subtle neglect that he had suffered but not making it sound so…it's hard to pick a word, but I'll go with demonic. It's just a fact of life to him that when he is perceived to have misbehaved, he gets pent up in the cupboard and doesn't get fed. Yet when he shows outrage at this, it's not because of the treatment itself, it's because he had honestly not done it. This shows the true mettle of Harry's character as seen in the series, and it underscored his characterisation tidily.
I really like how Harry was able to work this out. We see in the series that, while Hermione is the major brain behind the Trio, he is not without powers of deduction himself. While his stealth left something to be desired, he knew that Dudley was a prime suspect in setting him up and that the necklace had to be connected to his mum in some way for Petunia to treat it with such disregard. I adore his fearlessness and his bravado in being willing to attack Dudley for screwing with him and getting him into trouble. That is just so indelibly Harry, charging into action with little regard for personal safety.
And as for Dudley, I think for the time period he was in the story, he was appropriately meat-headed and manipulative, so that makes a triad of wonderful characterisations on your part.
The tokens of Lily ate at me a little for a couple of reasons — one good and one not so much. When Harry was musing over his prior adventures in the attic, I wanted to mother him so badly. No child should have to wonder about their parents in such ways, hardly knowing their names, let alone what their hobbies were. Sure, we all know that it wasn't a knitting needle he was holding, but for him not to realise, it's truly heart-breaking to contemplate.
On the same vein, though, Harry playing around with the wand did sort of seem strange to me. We know from Ollivander's that one swish of the wrong wand could decimate a room, so it strikes me as a bit odd that he could fiddle around with a wand and not have anything of note happen. Also, I do hesitate a bit at the idea of Petunia storing an envelope from the magical world without the letter it came with, if at all. If, because she subliminally misses her sister, she is hanging onto this missive, it makes sense that it would actually be in the envelope. I'm definitely not saying that your version is wrong, but it is something to think about.
The plot! You've managed to spin a tale of intrigue without even setting foot outdoors or having to involve police to find the culprit. And what a culprit! You genuinely had me wondering what awful git was lurking in the house, nicking jewellery, and then blaming Dudley for being an awful, awful brat for framing Harry. But you managed to throw a neat little kink into the works by having the necklace in essence steal itself when it sensed that it was about to be taken away from its rightful place.
In terms of the story being a mystery, I think it was suitably so. I think it was a proper mystery in that Harry, the main character, was still trying to figure out what had just happened and never quite did, but as an audience, readers are satisfactorily informed of important events and facts. The most notable instance of this was the end. I understood what the necklace was, and I wanted to badly to tell Harry about his mother and about how she and Petunia used to be friends and that the necklace had likely been Lily's attempt at an olive branch between them. But this is part of the wonderful way you told the story, the way you spun your mystery. The fun was almost more in Harry's personal exploration than it was in figuring out the whodunit aspect.
Your writing style is very clean and easy to read. I appreciate how you use clear, concise language to depict two different stories in the necklace's history and the current events in the search for it, yet I was never lost or wondering which subject you were on. The duality of the tale was so well done, and I felt satisfied at the end with both the results of the story and how I got there as a reader.
If I were to offer one piece of advice, it would be to do something about the way you add dashes. The way they currently read, they look like plain old hyphens. It does present a minor challenge when reading to discern whether it is a strange hyphenated word or a dash. This isn't hard to fix, especially if you use Microsoft Word (in any edition from 97 and newer). You can either add a space after a word, type out your dash, and then add another space, which makes work out like this – a clear and legible dash. Or you can type your word, add two dashes, and just type the next word. It auto-connects the dashes and elongates it—which is also easy to see and tidy (whether to add spaces before and after is up to you). It's by no means a flaw in the story, but I think fixing this would greatly add to the flow of your story and take away the chance of the minor hiccups I had while reading.
Overall, this is one fabulous story, especially for a first-timer. I seriously cannot believe that this is your first fic. I lurked your author page and was gobsmacked to find that you'd never published anything here before. There is such good quality in your work that I would expect from someone whose page is a bit more lengthy, so hurray for you! That just tells me that, if you stick with it and keep writing, you can easily become one of the better authors in MNFF. Definitely one with the best usernames (unlike my obnoxious one, lol).
Thank you for reading my thoughts on your story, and I hope that I was able to encourage and help you today. You've written a lovely fic, and I sincerely hope that you continue to publish on the site. You're a decent storyteller, and with any luck, I hope to see you again soon on the most recent list.

Nominated for Best General Story in the Quicksilver Quills 2011!
A bit sentimental? Maybe.
But that's hardly a bad thing, I think. This is what I refer to as a Sandwich Fic, as in it's focused on what happened immediately after the last line in Deathly Hallows. There are so many stories to be told, varying greatly in mood, but this one is a very special one indeed. There is a great feeling of bringing the whole Hogwarts experience for this particular group of Gryffindors full circle. They crossed the lake on the boats, got sorted, and spent their first night in the castle together. You picked such a fitting atmosphere for them, when all was said and done, to pass the time. No parties, no backslapping congratulations — just a bit of a lie-in. The simplicity of it is gorgeous.
One of the best things you could've done in this story was separate each boy, give each of them their own segment, save for Harry. We already knew what was going on with him. However, that being said, he was characterised so wonderfully through the eyes of his peers. Everything, from his dialogue to his attitude toward each of his mates was so spot on.
I thought Dean, Seamus and Neville were all done extremely well, too. I like the way each of them have a defined thought pattern, and even what they said felt right. And the fact that Dean conversed the longest with Harry was fitting, as they had the most in common outside of Ron in that they were on the run for ages. There was a great air of commiseration there. I did notice that Dean was the only one referred to with his last name, which is a bit odd. I would recommend deleting the 'Thomas' for the sake of continuity.
Seamus was great, even if I'm not sure I could put my finger on why it is. Though I theorise that the moment you really sold me on him was when he made the mental note that his bed was just a bit too small. For me, I saw a lot of things there. He was his own man at that moment, not a boy whose mother formed his opinions. That he didn't apologise for waking anyone said quite a bit, as well, because he knew that he'd earned their respect, as well as a good kip.
Of all the segments, though, Neville's was my favourite by far. First off, a nod of kudos for the Neville/Luna moment. It just should've been canon, but I digress. It's one of the few things that Steve Kloves will have got right. Anyway, back to Neville… You captured his excitement at being the centre of attention, but he didn't lose that solemnity that came with the knowledge that so many people he'd cared about were dead. That he patiently waited for the Fat Lady to tend to her mourning portrait fellows was such a lovely way of showing that. You really took him from his BAMF element and demonstrated that deep emotion that made him a true Gryffindor, one worthy of pulling the sword out of the Hat in his time of need. But the best part was when he set the sword down next to Harry. That sword, still crusted in Nagini's blood, stood as a testament to the man he was, that no one thought he would become (not even himself), yet he relinquished it out of deference. How much better a friend and comrade can he be? That is dangerously close to a sniffle moment for me.
Ron's portion was good. I'm not sure I liked it as well as the others', but it was still well-done. I really liked that he was with his family and even sharing a tender moment with Ginny. I'm not entirely sure he'd fend off his mum like that, especially knowing what she's lost and how she is, but that just might be my own personal opinion and entirely subjective. But the ending was so, so fabulous. No words of acknowledgment, no 'hello's, no 'thank you's, no 'good night's… just 'I'm going to take a nap'. That is just Ron. It is ridiculously Ron. Just that line alone doubled my enjoyment of his part.
The last few lines just brings that whole full circle feeling to a good ending point. No great speeches or profound thoughts from any of them, just a firm denial of really being grown-ups and a unanimous confirmation of it. They truly were the kids who saved the world who wanted to be kids for just that one last time, just snoozing away in their dorms like they hadn't a care in the world. That = love.
If I were to offer one suggestion for improvement, it would be the parts about traversing the castle to get to the Tower. The first time, it was fine, but over and over, it got a bit repetitive. To me, it would've been more effective to reference detours with no particular detail for the first three and show the long, arduous journey through alternate routes for Ron, as he'd been there the longest on Harry's journey to beat Voldemort, and he was the last one up. There is a bit of a continuity error, or possibly just something ill-clarified. Dean nods to Seamus and Neville before heading up, but Seamus in his bit was sitting in a circle while holding hands with Lavender. I'm not entirely sure how much time has passed between sequences, so it felt a bit off.
Really, though, in summation, this story was a triumph in simplicity. Your style really gave it a colloquial, mellow feeling of real life, and each time the boys fell asleep or came close, your description and language slowed in kind, almost as if I the reader was falling into slumber with each of them (and not in that 'you put me to sleep with your writing way'). It was very effective in tying me as a reader to the characters and to the concept of the story.
I'm so glad I picked this story, as I'm on a major battle / post-battle kick of late, so this really fit into what I've been looking for. You managed to make a sweet moment out of a potentially pained situation, with the losses in the battle, and I applaud you for that. In my opinion, your QSQ nomination is well-deserved, and I hope you do well in the judging.

Then a late night conversation changes his mindset in a way that scares him and makes him wonder what he actually 'is'. He cannot feel that way - not about Sirius Black.

Due to an MNFF glitch, I have lowered the rating on this to 3rd-5th so people can read it. However this is normally a Professors rating. You click at your own risk.
I should really be working on my SPEW Swap story, but I couldn't resist anymore. Riding along while you plotted and shaped this story, not to mention a rather colourful chat about the logistics of aquatic activities, there was no way I could miss this.
Honestly, this is pretty much the way I'd always pictured the Remus/Sirius dynamic. There was always a sort of tension between them, even after Remus knew that Sirius hadn't caused James and Lily's deaths, which was likely just hard-to-displace seeds of mistrust and that one of them had grown up a bit more than the other. But a girl can dream, eh?
Honestly, I was expecting a nice round of hearty smut, but again, you managed to far exceed expectations (pun not intended but giggly nonetheless). The story fits into canon well and still manages to keep the characters so wonderfully them. Even when they're younger, they're distinct. And the way you used their already-present fears and desires to fuel their trysts was well done, as well.
Shame on Sirius for taking advantage of Remus! But I can see that happening. :/ He was just that needy boy who took more than he gave, and Remus was just so willing to give and give, just for a taste of what Sirius had to offer.
I do wonder if their final sexual encounter would've happened if they hadn't stumbled upon Lily and James getting it on. My theory is that Sirius was a bit jealous but also turned on by the sight of James getting off. Poor Remus. But you managed to fix that by having the true Miss Outstanding give him what he'd truly needed: someone who gave more than they took.
I really enjoyed the understated presence of the grading scale. It seems more youthful and child-like than the X-out-of-10 that tends to be the norm. It adds a bit of magical interest into otherwise typical thoughts of teenage boys. Plus, the let-down about Grace's jugs was quite symbolic of Sirius's newfound lack of interest/attraction to them.
I had a feeling when Sirius mentioned that he and James had went off in fourth-year and messed about with Grace that the ending was going to be what it was. But it was no less heartbreaking when it happened, though. I wanted to hug Remus and punch Sirius, though it wasn't his fault. Gah, I love how screwed up people are, hehe.
Lovely story, Carole, and I'm happy that, if I am to shirk my duties, that it was with you. :)

Along came a girl, and everything changed.Warning: This story is originally rated Professors, for the bunch of warning tags applicable to it. The rating has been changed temporarily only because we're having some technical problem with stories that have higher ratings. So, please click at your own discretion. This story is written for ToBeOrNot..../Jess, my close friend and one of the most gifted writers I know. O Believer of Rarepairs, this is my fluff-free, dark and angsty present for you.
At the best of times, one may rely on words to nurse one's way through periods of incoherence, despite not having a single orderly thought. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is one of those times.
Theo. Parvati. Padma. Death. Could this be any more sickeningly gorgeous? I don't think so, because my mind = kablooey! I'm not sure how you've done it, but you managed to take everything I thought I knew about post-battle minor characters and topple it. Just the way it was written and formed with such certainty, it had to have happened. There couldn't be any other possible outcome.
I think what struck me right away about the story was that, save for the memory lapses, Theo reminded me a lot of myself. He was quiet, didn't talk to many people, and worked a job generally considered a waste of his talent. Whether you did so intentionally or not, it immediately wrapped me up in the story and made me care about Theo. I felt the need to know what he was missing in his memory just as much as he did, and I was trying to work out who both the 'Healer' and the dark-haired mystery girl were from the get-go.
The kicker for me about Theo is when his St Mungo's record was shown. I couldn't help but think that someone like him couldn't possibly be capable of stuff like this. He just seemed so level-headed and mellow. Ironically, the only part of his 'rap sheet' I found plausible as you portrayed him was the killing in self-defence, since he was considered on the side of bad by many and could easily have been attacked. It also ended up being the worst thing he'd ever done in his life, which ends up a giant plot twist in the end. How fabulous. :D
What you did with Parvati-come-Padma was so subtle. I was so sure that she was the mystery girl. So sure! And Padma had to be the 'Healer', who was studying her sister's supposedly unbalanced boyfriend. Normally, when I have an inkling of plot lines, I end up being right, so I can't tell you how refreshing it is that I was completely wrong. It was a mystery of different proportions, unlike the gumchew stories typically associated with the genre. This mystery was about people and about loss and about wondering whether certain things are better left unexplored.
I think one of the most interesting parts about this story is the lack of other surrounding characters. There were a couple here and there, but the story was strictly focused on Theo and Padma/Parvati and their points of view. It really adds to the myopia of both of them. Theo really isn't bothered to know or care about other people until he meets this girl he feels like he should know, and Padma is so attuned to her mission of getting back at him for what he 'did'. Without the distraction of a supporting cast, I could really get into the main characters' points of view and what they were feeling.
But the most victorious part of the story is the end. I mean… I am gobsmacked. I knew from the end of the second chapter that the Healer character was plotting to kill Theo, likely over the events that he can't remember, but holy hell, what it was and how it happened was breath-taking. By then, I just KNEW that Theo couldn't have done anything so terrible, despite what his medical history said. It didn't feel right at all, but when I saw what all those things actually meant, I wanted to hex Padma. She never bothered asking him what happened, at the very least to see if he was willing to lie to her. Being a Ravenclaw doesn't in the slightest mean that she is either fair-minded or into justice in the sense of the law. However, being distraught as she was, I can forgive her for not wanting to know more about what happened in favour of making him as miserable as she was until it was time to strike.
And then she killed him! Oh my ever-loving Prongs, she killed him! I almost thought he'd get through to her, explain to her what happened, but he didn't. He just dared her to kill him and be done with it. It seemed like he was so sickened by what he remembered that he didn't want to remember anymore, and her bloodlust was a quick means to that end. But then how will she know what she's done? Gah, this will drive me mad, I swear. I feel this intense need to find her, shake her violently, and tell her what she's done to an innocent man. You rob me of my sanity, Natalie, you really do! I love how I can be so worked up over the end of a story.
Overall, I have concluded that you are positively genius and that I will love you even more than I already do forever. I know how hard you slaved on this (in hindsight), so that you did it for me will always be a monument of the sort of person you are: genius writer, master plotter, rarepair aficionado, and above all, stellar friend.
I heart you so much!
In the End by Writ Encore
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 1]
Summary: Two gentlemen, close friends, stayed with each other through happiness and hell. Until one of them fell and left everything in pieces.
Hi, Jenn!
Here I am on a late night reading session, and your summary was an excellent one and drew me in quickly. I was really intrigued by Gawain's thought processes and his views on the people he worked with, or rather, his low opinion of them.
I confessed to being a bit taken aback by, in the course of a single paragraph, Gawain musing on Moody, their prey, screaming, and smoking. It felt like a bit of an information overload for a single paragraph. I would've loved to hear more about Gawain's new on Moody, considering the latter is a featured part of the story.
There is a sort of appreciation on my part that you were able to include such grievous injuries in the story and not make them tragic — for the lack of a better term. It was suitably horrid, as being burned alive should be, but it was approached in a non-frenzied fashion, as I would've expected from someone like Gawain — cool under pressure.
Admittedly, I was a bit baffled by Minerva's appearance. Is she an Auror or Ministry official? Since, considering Moody's relative age, this mission would've predated the existence of the Order. I'm not sure if this information is in one of your other stories or not, but it seems highly irregular that she would stumble in on official baddie-chasing business. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on that.
I found the walk to St Mungo's to be one of the more powerful moments in the story. Gawain referring to the stench of charred flesh gave a tangible note of horror to Moody's injuries, as well as the amount of guilt the man bore for his role in a young Auror's nearly-fatal incident. Also, it showed that he wasn't just some gruff, bastard old man who hated everyone who wasn't as good as he was (which I find ironic, since Moody became almost his clone in that respect), but that he really did carry a conscience around with him concerning the young men he trained.
Benjy is an interesting character, but I'm not entirely certain what his role is in the story. Yes, he seems to be Gawain's mate and has some sort of relationship with Minerva, but I don't think I as of yet know what that is. My leading theory is a bizarre love triangle where something is going on between Minerva and Bengy, yet Minerva and Gawain have a spark. Not sure. Again, if you care to share in a non-spoilery fashion...
There's a bit of a typo in this line:
"Oh, I just said we'd make a detour to Tower Bridge on the way." Benjy laughed. "I bet she's ripping the ribbon out of my typewriter, the wrench."
Not sure if you were going for 'wench' or 'wretch', buuuuuuuut you ended up in the hardware store, hehe. Just thought you might want to change it. :D
Overall, this is an interesting start to a story here. I'm intrigued to find out the nature of the relationships between Gawain, Benjy, and Minerva. There are a couple spots that lost me a bit, but otherwise, it was a nice read. Take care.

Awww, thank you. :)
This story is so warm and fuzzy. Well, to me it is, since this is my cup of tea. I adore Hermione's voice, the one that chatters on in her head and occasionally out loud, trying to reason everything, as Harry mentioned. You just put so much of what we know about her into this, even the part where she decides that she wants to go out right away and test the dating waters. Not because she's desperate for contact, but because she needs to prove to herself that the end of her relationship with Ron wasn't just her not having enough to offer someone else.
You made Harry very huggable, in that he was so sad. But also, I could feel him deflect and keep the focus on Hermione's issues instead of bringing his own to the forefront. It felt in-character that he only admitted it when he would've had to lie to Hermione directly to keep it out of the open. Both of them together felt right for me.
And yayyyyyyy, they kissed! I have to admit that I was a bit giddy when they did. I sort of felt the 'we can't' moment coming, but part of the enjoyment was the waiting to see if things might be different and the borderline enjoyment of sadness when it doesn't work. It's probably sadistic of me to enjoy being saddened by what I read, yet I do.
Thank you so, so much for this story. I know how hard you worked on it, and I feel not only rewarded as the recipient, but on your behalf as well for the pleasure of a job completed. You are lovely, and I'm glad that I've got the chance to get to know you. Thank you so very much.
Mr Ted's Picnic by pookha
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: Little Rosie has lost her Teddy bear. Whatever shall we do about it?
This was a really sweet story. Hermione was really well-characterised in this, as well. It is quite her to treat her daughter's concerns with respect and not to just roll over and tell her to go back to bed.
The actual events in the story were lovely. It had a Toy Story feel to it, and I like that each of the dolls had a distinct mannerism. Mr Ted was a bit gluttonous, while Maggie was a giver and the Harpy doll a problem solver.
I really like the overall concept, and your writing really lent it a bedtime story. It's nice to find little bits like this, tucked into the Potterverse, giving us a picture of how magical little girls go about a late night snack. Very charming. :)
The Four by Equinox Chick
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 4]
Summary: For me, the start of my grand love affair with the Potterverse didn't begin with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. No, it started with Prisoner of Azkaban because of the Marauders. This poem is about them and my attempt at a goodbye to four people who inspired me. (Well, Peter - not so much)
Thank you, Julia, for the challenge and for teaching me about villanelles.
Disclaimer: I am not JKR, or Julia, or anyone with talent.
Hahahaha, now who's writing villanelles without being required to do so?
At any rate, mickey-taking aside, this really is a gorgeous poem. Not only is the villainous villanelle most suited to the subject matter — four boys-come-men who all met their end one by one — it also aptly shows that each man died in different ways.
The way you captured the essence of each Marauder's death was so good. James stood up to an impossible enemy unarmed because he couldn't NOT. Sirius just kind of... poof. Peter died like a traitorous coward who realised that he had erred on several accounts. And Remus died like a BAMF in battle. Worf would be proud.
Really, though, the last stanza is melt-worthy, and the imagery of an unravelling knot is so apt and perfect. I get the mental visual of a plait that first gets a few flyaways, the a few larger chunks fall out, and then it's just a ball of frizz/no more. That probably sounds ridiculous, but it fits in my head.
Great poem, Croll, and congrats on doing well in the challenge!
The Stars As My Witness by Gmariam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 9]
Summary: I cannot see their bodies, buried beneath the ruins of their life together, but I know they are there. I can imagine their green and hazel eyes, staring into the dark emptiness. It is all I can do to stay upright, filled with equal parts rage and grief as I gaze unseeing at the heartbreaking scene.
How did it come to this?
OMP, Twin, this is so powerful. In a way, I'm glad it was so short, because it is strong and emotive as it, and Sirius's feelings are so well-drawn and potent. The way he goes from devastation, to joy at Harry's survival ,to grief over parting with his godson and at the loss of good friend, and finally to rage at Peter, it is such a perfect sequence.
And the last line is just a giant exclamation on the whole piece. Such a wonderful piece! Thanks for sharing.
Her Tomorrows by Equinox Chick
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: Since the Battle, Parvati struggles to feel.
Since the Battle, Harry feels too much.
Can a chance meeting help them heal?
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, so don't bug me about Pottermore!
This story is for Ariana (lucca4) because she set the prompt in SBBC and she's one of the most talented writers on the site.
I so needed a bit of smut at the moment, since I can't seem to find my own writing mojo. Croll fic always hits the spot. :D
I think this is brilliant. I know you had your doubts and angsty moments about its standalone qualities, but I really don't think you have anything to worry about. The story itself is reflected in its structure and its length, like a snapshot into two tortured souls and the day their universes happened to collide. They both so obviously needed someone and got so lucky — if one could call it that — to find one another.
I wanted to hug Parvati for her pain. I can't imagine what it's like to, wherever you go, remind everyone else of someone who was brutally killed and disfigured. That look in their eye, like they were looking at Padma and not Parvati, would've been devastating beyond measure. And the recollection of taunting her sister for being slow to the draw in DADA... *sniff* The guilt!
Harry's segment is brief, and at first, I thought it was a bit too brief, but once the third, combined portion was underway, most of it being in his perspective, I was far more happy with the balance of it. In that bit, I was really happy that it gave glimpses of both of them. Yeah, I know it is supposed to be a no-no, but we will do what we please, lol. It works really well here, and I'm glad to get into both their heads as this romp in the grass happens. It's far more poignant and meaningful in a meaningless way (if that makes any damned sense at all).
The end is just... perfect. Parvati crying for Padma in the form of sexual release is rather unique, yet it works just right. She had to lose herself in order to find herself, and Harry needed it to get away from himself. The perfect synergy.
So well done, even if you may not have thought so. I'm not sure I have a favourite bit, but I really do love the whole thing.
Ta for the good read!
High by Equinox Chick
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 233]
Summary: Scorpius Malfoy is the Seeker for Slytherin. Not only that, he's the best Seeker at Hogwarts, and it's his catches that win matches. But this year things are different; Albus Potter has switched to Chaser and the new Gryffindor Seeker is his annoying little sister.
This is the story of how one match and one missed catch can change your life.
This story was accidentally deleted, so is being resubmitted ... very very quickly.
SQUEEEEE! High won the Best Next Generation QSQ award. Thank you so much for the everyone who has helped, either by beta'ing or encouraging me.
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling. I'm not sure who I am at the moment, but there must be some Arthur Weasley blood in me.
Thank you Natalie (hestiajones) for doing the vast majority of the beta work on this, and Apurva for work on the early chapters
Squish for Natalie, Jess, Kara and Bob for helping me sort this out.
Due to an archive hissy fit regarding any story with a rating about 3rd-5th, I have temporarily lowered the rating on this story. However, I have NOT changed the content. This story is still a 6th-7th. You click at your own risk.
I am enjoying the ongoing baby-naming debate. I do wonder whether it was borne of naming blockage come side plot or if it was a strike of ebil genius. I eagerly await their decision.
The funeral was, for lack of a better word, intense. There was simply no way that could've NOT ended badly with his family. And to expect him to make a speech on top of that was just dastardly. I am honestly surprised and finding myself respecting Scorpius's tenacity to make it through that. I am a bit disappointed in Narcissa, as family is supposed to mean the most to her (judging by her actions in DH), but I suppose in the end, Lucius was her family far longer than Scorpius. And she never caught Lucius with a blood traitor chick. :/
I seriously am in love with Teddy. I could totally get into slashing those two up, hehe. He's the confidant that Scorpius needed, with a side of Big Brother.
I really want to know more about Genister. I'm not sure if you've written more about her, but I may harass you at some point to do so. She's sassy and far more interesting than Ariadne.
On to review the next chapter. Didn't get a chance to review these ones after I read them earlier.
Author's Response: Ha ha ha - yes there was name blockage on behalf of the author for a while. Then I found a name I liked and it really suited the baby's parentage, but was too blooming similar to Lucius, so ... *shakes head* No. In the end, I liked Alexander because it's a warrior type of name and also pretty normal. (And has nothing to do with Blaise lookielikey I met called Alexander .,....)Slashing up Teddy and Scorps. Nooooo, ha ha - they would be hot together, but I think they just need to have a brother in their lives. Uhm, Genister isn;t in this much more, but Natalie kept saying the same thing as she beta's the chapters and she does interest me, so when/if I ever write the follow-up, then I think she'll be in it. I already have her, in my head, as one corner of a fairly benign love triangle. Hmm, I wonder if you can work out the two boys after her. (ONe should be easy, the other is a very oblique reference) Thanks again ~Crolllllll~
What is this? Scorpius, bonding with a Weasley? Who would've thought? I like it, though I shudder to think of what sort of sneakery he and Fred could've got up to had they been in the same house and even mates.
Must Teddy persist on being BAMF? I love the good luck letters. Even the Tonks/Lupin owl fits the owners, hehe. And I never thought I'd say this, but Draco's owl being douchey is SO him. XD
NEWTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! OMP! Poor Scorpius. Will his family ever stop haunting him every time he tries to make something of himself without them? That seems like something Lucius would do, influence a small child to think the Unforgivables are okay and even something to be exalted. Dirty mofo. I'm even more glad he's dead than I was before. Lucius, I piss upon you from a great height!
Noooooooo, don't run out! Your future is woven into those essay questions! You need NEWTs to be an Auror! Fie! Must. Move. On... Need. To. Know.
Author's Response: Sorry, Teddy will always be a BAMF. I should write something where he's a bit awful, though, or I'll end up hating him for being perfect. *sigh*
Oh Fred and Scorpius would be a fabulous double act. Once I'd written that first scene I really wished he'd been in it from the start. I can just see so much of the wheeler-dealer of the Twins in both him and Roxy. Hmm, and they might both want to play the same position in Quidditch. Now, where could I have got that from .....? *snigger*
Yup, Lucius Malfoy still causing grief after he's dead. Nice revenge, mate!
,br> He does need NEWTS. Let's hope he comes good in the practical ...
Thankieeees ~Carole~
Yay, a baby name! Long-winded, but it seems to fit both Lav and Blaise.
I feel a little bubble of pride toward Scorpius for making it through the practical with flying colours. And yay to producing a Patronus like a BAMF. Almost makes me forget about, er, earlier. :/
Awwwwwww, Vaisey came crawling back, hat in hand (figuratively speaking). It was only a matter of time before he figured out what an opportunistic slag Ariadne was and that he was better off. He seemed a decent sort until she sunk her talons into his testicular region. It's nice that Scorpius can finish up with Hogwarts without burning all of his bridges.
Sexytiemmmmmmmmmmmm! It was sweet how concerned he was about hurting her. I doubt he gave a crap less had Ariadne been a virgin (*coughgutterskankcough*) when they were first together. And then it was lubbbb.
Forward march!
Author's Response: Oh, Thaddeus is Lavender's dad's name. 'Opportunist slag' - gods I wish I'd used that - ha ha ha. OHHH, ans seyytimeeee. Yeah, he was a bit concerned. And um ... Ariadne probably wasn't a virgin, although she'd have faked it - ha ha. I'm guessing Scorp doesn;t want to put her off for life. Fortunately he hasn't and they're at it like rabbits whenever they get the chance. The Prefect's bathroom seems to be my go to place for first times. Hmmmmm, must try something else. Thankies ~Carole~
So muuuuuuuuuuuch has happened!
The will was a very interesting bit. As you know, cop/who-dun-it shows fascinate me, so legal mumbo jumbo always provides some delicious twists and turns in several scenarios. And, of course, with Hermione involved, anything that could be found behind the scenes didn't stand a chance in hell of staying hidden. HA! Suck on that, you old dirtbag! In his effort to stick it to his grandson, Lucius instead shot himself in the foot. Not gonna lie, I punched the air.
What. The. Ever-loving. Balls. Not only do I feel like giving Draco a testectomy with a rusty pair of garden shears, Astoria has really demeaned herself with her actions. She is better than that, but her part in Scorpius's de facto capture is despicable. Not because she minimalised Scorpius's feelings toward Lily, but more because she abused his trust in her. I don't know if I could ever find it in myself to forgive someone for that, so if he does, Scorpius is a better person than me.
I want to punch something every time I think about Scorpius being essentially tortured by means of starvation. It's a low, base thing to do, even for dirty, rotten, Malfoy extortionists. Again, I want to punch something. Thank Merlin he got a little of his own.
TEDDYYYYYYYYYYY! I may have to cut a bitch and steal him for myself. Two more years, and he'll be of age for me, lolol. I love the fact that Scorpius can have a proper guy friend with no strings or agenda attached.
Must carry on or the old noggin will implode. See you next chapter!
Author's Response: Yes, this was an action packed chapter. I was aware I was reaching nearing the home strait and needed it to be fast paced. And, mmm, Astoria isn;t quite as wonderful. I think she;s pretty cynical about love - for other people - thinking her and Draco have made it despite everything (which could be true). Plus she was knocked up at 16 and didn't finish school. Meh, I never really went into this (another story, my friend) but Astoria is a clever girl and had to leave without Newts (and OWLs if I remember rightly) So, in a way Draco ruined her life - althougth she does love him. It also explains Vectors luke warm attitude towards Scorpius 'cause Astoria was her favourite pupil. ~Carole~
Hmm, Scorpius getting on with Andromeda...I can so see it. He is an intelligent boy with a healthy respect for thinking. I think he's probably the first person in her extended family not named Tonks or Lupin who she could've ever connected with. It was also nice of her to give him temporary employment (even if I do think it was out of sympathy toward his newfound poverty).
Haha, I so get the perils and pitfalls of living with a newlywed/soon-to-be-wed couple. The accidental bathroom run-ins, the embarrassing intimacies foiled by the roommate - SO TRUE! OMP! But at least Scorpius has Truckle to keep him in good graces. Which makes me wonder where Truckle will go. I hope Scorpius keeps her, since he seems a right failure at household spells, hehe.
Hugo and Al, warming to a Malfoy? Your world building is stupendous, because fifteen chapters ago, I would've laughed out loud. Now, though, it doesn't seem all that mad. They aren't treating him like Lily's boyfriend or as a Slytherin; he's just Scorpius. I'm glad they've come around, because he's never been a bad guy.
Molly's seal of approval just settles it. If Nana Weasley is happy with him, or at least treats him like one of the brood, then he has truly been accepted into the Weasley clan. Thank goodness for that, else that could get mighty awful later. But moreover, it just does a lovely job of showing Scorpius what was so intrinsically wrong with the way he was brought up. Families shouldn't be cold, proper, and rigid; they should be loud, embarrassing, and ready to cross the Rubicon for each other any day of the week. After this, I don't think Scorpius could even force himself to return to that, even if his mum's status in the family was becoming increasingly rocky.
Anyway, time to carry on. The story is almost over, which I steadfastly refuse to believe. However, I must know what happens to Astoria. And I am hoping mightily that Genister pops up again soon, even if it's some random walk-on. She's a story within a story, and I want to know it.
Author's Response: I always think Andromeda would be quite uneasy amongst the big boisterous Weasley family. Teddy seems to slide into it, but she'd be more reserved - bit like Scorp. I liked my cricket playing here. Not sure where the inspiration came from except I could see Arthur thinking it amazing despite not understanding any of it.
Oh, um, Genister. She's not in it again, but I have plans for her ...
Thank youuuuuu ~Croll~

The two-episode finale of The Legend of Korra's third season manages to do something that the past two season finales have failed to: satisfy. The entire ordeal is a stressful thrill ride that remains constantly engaging. Focusing on what the show handles best—plot and action—"Enter the Void" and "The Venom of the Red Lotus" are together one extended final showdown between Team Avatar and the Red Lotus. The stakes are high, the environments beautiful, and the battles, soundtrack and plot twists exhilarating. All the important plotlines are wrapped up, including ones pertaining to character development (eg. Bolin unlocks his special earthbending subset skill). Furthermore, the finale is filled with emotional moments that feel completely earned. Suffice to say, the Book 3 finale feels like a finale in all the right ways.

I'm looking at getting togeher a number of people within Northants to share ideas and good practice about setting up a VLE / LP, how to structure it (based around your curriculum) and what has worked to get staff engaged.
I am looking for people who already have platforms in place or who have clear ideas about where they fit into getting one set up.
This is not going to be purely a technical "and then you install this package" type of meeting, but trying to look at the different tools and functions that the various platforms that are out there actually offer. Since most of those schools who have something set up (or have had something set up previously) have left a chunk of the work in the hands of NMs and Techies it is about time we racked your brains too.
I am likely to host it at Silverstone in December. Would people be interested? (this will also go out on to the Northants Techs list).

If you're used to smooth riding, civilized singles like BMW's F650 range then KTM's 640 Adventure will come as something of a shock. It's very vibey, absurdly tall, not that comfortable and pre-2004 models suffer from patchy engine reliability. Having said that in the muddy side of its dual-purpose role it's untouchable for handling, presence and rugged toughness.
742cc, 61bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 12
Big trail bike you really can take off road. The Honda XRV750 Africa Twin was one of the first Japanese monster trail / desert rally bikes and remains one of the best. Power output is much lower than the latest machines but the slimmer seat makes it easier to manage one you leave the Tarmac. It's not light though and ...
675cc, 49bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 8
Relive the 60s with the delightful Kawasaki W650. Styling is spot on – the exhausts are closer to a 60s Bonneville than Triumph's own latter day replica. Modern handling, engine and reliability means all the joy of a classic with none of the grief. Relaxed performance unlike the Boneneville of the 1960s.

The new Jeep Cherokee gets official
After more than a decade, the Jeep Liberty has announced its retirement and appointed its predecessor its successor. The new 2014 Jeep Cherokee trades the hard-lined edge of the XJ for a more consumer-friendly small-crossover design. Jeep promises that it offers plenty of capability for those that want it but in a more refined, practical package than ever before. Read More
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee: a past legend gets a future
After a few years of toying around with uninspiring, forgettable designs like the Liberty and the Compass, Jeep is ready to go in a new direction. More accurately, it's going in an old direction. At this year's New York Auto Show, it will revive a name that's been retired for over a decade. The name is old, but the all-new Cherokee looks nothing like the boxy dirt warrior of its past life.

Volkswagen has used the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) to premiere an interesting mid-size diesel plug-in hybrid SUV concept designed specifically for the American and Canadian markets – the CrossBlue. The concept's powertrain combines a turbocharged 4-cylinder TDI Clean Diesel engine, two electric motors (40 kW in the front and 85 kW in the rear), a dual-clutch transmission and an almost baffling number of driving modes to deliver a combined city/highway fuel economy of 89 MPGe (2.6 l/100km equivalent) when driven in hybrid mode, or 35 MPG (6.7 l/100km) in diesel-only.

Does Brutus define a new genre of motorcycle?
Now here's a motorcycle with a difference. Alessandro Tartarini, son of Italjet founder Leopoldo, this week used the EICMA motorcycle show to present a new motorcycle concept. The aptly named Brutus (not to be confused with the existing Brutus electric motorcycle), is billed as "the SUV of motorcycles," runs a fuel-injected, 45 bhp, 750cc, single-cylinder engine with a CVT and optional reverse gear and weighs in at just under 220 kg (485 lbs) – about the same weight as a BMW 1200 GS or Ducati Multistrada. So does this genuinely represent a new genre of motorcycle? Read More

Built around the Volkswagen Group's New Small Family (NSF) platform used on the Volkswagen up!, the Taigun is a compact SUV concept vehicle styled after its bigger brothers, the Tiguan and Touareg. VW plans to gauge public reaction to the Taigun before making a decision on whether to put the vehicle into production. Read More

The bill that would ban colleges or universities from giving in-state tuition to illegal immigrants passed in the House Education Committee today.
Some schools, like Virginia Tech, already limit in-state tuition to legal residents. Immigrant advocates the bill would harm those that are going through the lengthy process of becoming a citizen and unfairly targets a section of society that pays the same taxes that legal residents do.
Advocates support a measure that has passed in the Senate that would grant in-state tuition to illegal immigrants who graduate from high school and promise to seek legal status and have at least one parent paying state taxes.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday bungalow in Xewkija - Trullo Gozitano
ECO Certifiied Magical trullo with private swimming pool (16 x 9.5m)
This fully detached trullo built in beautiful honey-coloured limestone is unique. It is located in the village of Xewkija, the oldest in Gozo. Set in its own south facing garden with mature olive, cypress and citrus trees, the lagoon overflowing swimming pool 16 x 9.5m) is sure to please.
Inside, the rooms have been tastefully decorated and furnished in restful shades of summer to give a stylish, yet practical interior.
The accommodation consists of 3 BR, one with en suite plus main bathroom. Two bedrooms have an LG air condition/heating system on a pay per use basis. It can sleep 8 persons comfortably. There is a lovely sofa in the round open plan lounge/diner, oak dining table with 6 chairs, a fully equipped kitchen with black granite worktops - this leads onto the splendid patio/sun deck area with pool shower and built-in-barbecue.
Outfitted with everything from iPod dock and WiFi to a washing machine and cable TV, you will enjoy the comforts of home while you explore the ancient prehistoric valley of Mgarr ix-Xini with its perfectly pebbly beach and clear waters.
The village of Xewkija (scheukiia): Xewkija is famous for its church simply known as 'the Rotunda', dedicated to St John the Baptist. Not only does it dominate the village, it dominates the entire island. The village has an eccentrically suburban air for an agricultural community. Men on ancient lilac-coloured Vespas roar noisily through the narrow twisting medieval streets wearing soup-bowl helmets and shot guns slung across their backs; a handful of people too old to work the fields sit beside their bamboo-slatted front doors awaiting the cool of the day, while tourists stare at their cathedral-sized church. The single most impressive feature is the dome, a 45,000-ton structure set on eight columns.
A short walk from the trullo leads down the valley of Mgarr ix-Xini. The swimming in the small fjord at the bottom of the steep single track is clean and suitable for children. Further out the waters are dark, deep and clear against the sheer cliff face offering excellent diving and snorkelling.
Trullo Gozitano is one of just 7 properties awarded ECO certification by Malta Tourism Authority in Gozo. The Eco certification is the national scheme for ensuring the environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural sustainability of tourist accommodation on the Maltese Islands and has been recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council as fully reflecting the GSTC criteria.
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- Low Allergen Environment
- children welcome
- suitable for elderly or infirm
- wheelchair accessible

SBC Aloe Vera Gel

This is an amazing product. I love the fact that when you use this product your skin doesn't feel clammy or greasy as some moisturisers make you feel. I have been using it after shaving, and have not had the irritable skin that shaving used to give me. I also took it on holiday and it was a god send for sun burn, it kept me moisturised so I didn't peel and was really sooting as it is cool when applied. I am definatly buying this again and will use it as part of my pre-wedding beauty regime...my skin has been this good in years.

Barielle Nail Brightener
Date Added: Monday 19 December, 2011
I have used other nail whitening products in the past, but they tended to leave the nails with a grey/blue appearance. I tried Barielle Nail Brightener for the first time today and it certainly does remove the look of any yellowness, leaving my nails clean and healthy looking with a subtle sheen. I would highly recommend this product!

Roatan - What to do & see
Roatan is the largest of the Bay Islands of Honduras in the Western Caribbean. Located only 30 nautical miles off the mainland, the reef system is part of the second largest in the world after Austrailia's great barrier reef. The mountainous terrain is unique among the bay islands and visitors may experience mountains, pastures, lust forests and vast stretches of white sandy beaches. Because Roatan is the most developed island, visitors also relish the wide assortment of restaurants, night clubs and resort amenities.
Most of the island's main tourist attractions are on the west end within easy reach from Lawson Rock. Although diving and snorkeling are certainly main activities there's plenty to keep everyone busy from horseback riding, hiking, fishing and lolling on the beach to visiting the many exhibits and preserves.
Underwater Adventures
Roatan offers some of the finest Scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities available. Authorized PADI centers are located in both West End and West Bay. Expect to see eagle rays, moray eels, parrot fish, sea turtles, octopi and many more undersea creatures and stunning coral formations at Sandy Bay. The newest attraction is a whale shark dive. Imagine a chance to swim among the world's largest fish.
Deep water exploration is also a possibility. Charters are available for submersible craft that reach depths of 3,000 feet.
Even non-swimmers can enjoy the coral reef via glass-bottom boat excursions.
Other Water Sports
Choose your favorite form of boating sailing, kayaking or pleasure cruising Roatan offers a lot of options.
Sport Fishing is one of the big attractions on Roatan. Fly fish the reef flats or chase bigger game fish in deeper water, where you can troll for Tuna, Wahoo and Marlin or bottom fish for Snappers, Jacks and Groupers. Knowledgeable local guides provide an excellent variety of well-equipped packages for anglers.
Enjoying the Flora and Fauna
Choose hiking, bicycling, motorcycling or horseback riding Roatan has mountains, jungles and many tropical treasures to explore.
The Roatan Butterfly Garden, located at West End, exhibits a variety of Honduras' most colorful butterflies amidst a wide variety of tropical plants and fruit trees.
The Roatan Museum, in Roatan's cultural Center, Sandy Bay, is affiliated with the Roatan Institute of Marine Sciences (RIMS). The museum displays well preserved artifacts and comprehensive information about the island history. RIMS is an organization devoted to research of tropical marine ecosystems, most notably including the bottlenose dolphin. Along with a variety of educational programs and regularly scheduled dolphin demonstrations, you can even swim with these marvelous marine creatures.
Tropical Treasures Bird Park, in Sandy Bay, features live exhibits of local native species including macaws, toucans and parrots, as well as other birds from South America. Seventeen species and over 95 birds are represented.
Iguana Hideout, near French Harbor, was created to protect the green iguanas that were once quite abundant on Roatan until hunting caused their numbers to decline. Enjoy them in their natural habitat.
The Mainland offers a variety of adventures including jungle treks, river rafting and opportunities to explore major archeological sites such as Copan, once an important center of the Mayan civilization. In contrast many of cities existing today reflect the early Spanish culture. Over 17,000 square miles of the country are protected and numerous national parks and preserves dot the landscape. Cloud forests such as Pico Bonito, near La Cieba, provide a mountain hiking experience fairly unique to Honduras. Shuttle flights from Roatan to the mainland depart every 10 minutes.

Here's how we're going to do it.
To start, we must take our message to every state and every community. As I told the Committee last week, we must stop looking at elections through the lens of "battleground states." Being a "blue state" is not a permanent diagnosis. Republicans want to be a party for everyone, everywhere.
We must take the time to build stronger relationships in minority communities, urban centers and college towns. We can't expect voters to support us if they don't know us or see us. Election-year "outreach" is insufficient. We're going to stop simply reaching out -- and work on welcoming in as we build a permanent, lasting presence across the country.
In doing that, we'll focus on the principles that unite us. Republicans are the party of opportunity and liberty, and freedom is an ever-fresh, revolutionary idea. It brought settlers to our shores and continues to attract newcomers to America. No one comes to the United States in search of a superior government bureaucracy. They come for individual freedom -- the chance to start a new chapter, a new business, a new life.
Democrats are the party of big government, as President Obama made clear in his inaugural address.
But a slow, bloated, out-of-date federal bureaucracy is not equipped to answer every challenge in an age of rapid, bottom-up, organic change. And if government is not limited, then opportunity will be.
So while Democrats offer the same old solutions to the same old problems, Republicans are the party that offers something new. We believe in equal opportunity for everybody. We want to build a real, dynamic economy driven by the free market -- not one dependent on government's redistribution machine.
We want student and parents empowered by equal opportunity in education, not restricted by unions.
We want an open energy economy that harnesses all sources of power, not those selected by an activist Energy Department.
And we want a health-care system that respects doctor-patient decisions -- not government dictates. We're the party that says the individual can make better decisions than the bureaucrat.
But those principles mean nothing if voters don't hear them. Too often, we Republicans have let ourselves be defined by others before defining ourselves. No more. We're taking our message of freedom and opportunity where it hasn't been heard before.
The fact is, conservative governance works. That's best exemplified by the 30 Republican governors in office today. They're tackling the challenges that Washington Democrats avoid -- balancing budgets, reforming education, streamlining government.
States with Republican governors are creating more jobs, and in 2012, eight of the top 10 states in which to do business were led by Republicans. Our principles work in practice.
Republicans have our work cut out for us. At the RNC, we have to move quickly to invest in the best technology to train and equip our candidates, volunteers and activists. Now that we live in an era of permanent politics, our party has to stop living nominee-to-nominee, campaign-to-campaign. We need a permanent, national field infrastructure.
Our job won't be easy, but we're motivated by the confidence that we have something better to offer America. This country deserves better than one-size-fits all government policies; we deserve the true equal opportunity that has long been the promise of America.
In the next election, I don't know who will win -- or even who will run. But I know this: Republicans will be a party people will want to join. We will be a party that says, "Follow us to a brighter future."
We won't compromise our timeless principles, but we will make them relevant to our time and relatable to voters as we champion prosperity, success and freedom for all.

The author was elected to a second, two-year term as chairman of the Republican National Committee during the RNC's winter meeting on Friday.

Stay Lyrics - Sweetbox
Review The Song (1)
If this world is wearing thin,
and you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you,
just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone,
dont think i'll understand
Stay with me
Stay with me
In the silence of your room
in the darkness of your dreams
you must only think of me
there can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
stay with me
stay with me
You better hope and pray
that you make it safe back to your own world
You better hope and pray
that you wake one day in your own world
Cause when you sleep at night,
they dont hear your cries in your own world
only time will tell if you can
break the spell back in your own world
stay with me
stay with me

Community counts give you a chance to help you learn more about the people and the organizations that have a positive impact on our community. This week we feature the Virginia Farm Bureau and their Save Our Food Campaign.
The Save Our Food campaign was designed by Virginia Farm Bureau to educate consumers about the foods they eat and encourage everyone to seek out and enjoy all of the delicious locally grown foods available.
The campaign was launched in August of 2008 and has opened the eyes of a lot of consumers to start paying attention to their dinner plates.
Joining the cause and VFB is the first, and most important, step anyone can take toward supporting Virginia agriculture and helping to ensure that Americans will never become dependent on foreign sources of food.
The Virginia Farm Bureau makes sure that Virginia families have a safe and fresh, locally grown food supply, keeping our country self-sustaining rather than depending on foreign food.
If you are interested in joining the campaign, visit SaveOurFood.org or call 434-290-1000.

U.K. government bonds rose, pushing yields across all maturities to record lows below 3 percent, as investors sought safety amid signs Europe's financial crisis is slowing global growth.
Ten-year gilts advanced for a third day after Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said the future of the euro was at stake in Italy and Spain, and a U.S. report showed employers hired fewer workers than economists forecast. The pound fell to the weakest in four months against the dollar after a gauge of U.K. manufacturing slid to the lowest since the depths of the global financial crisis in 2009.
"Gilts yields at these excessively low levels can only be explained by risk aversion in the market as the euro debt crisis drags on without signs of a solution," said Mohit Kumar, head of European interest-rate strategy at Deutsche Bank AG in London. "We find gilts very expensive but as long as concern over the debt crisis continues, yields may go lower."
The yield on the 10-year gilt fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 1.52 percent at 4:12 p.m. in London after dropping to 1.439 percent, the lowest since Bloomberg began tracking the data on 1989. The 4 percent bond due March 2022 rose 0.445, or 4.45 pounds per 1,000-pound ($1,531) face amount, to 122.36. The yield slid 23 basis points this week.
Note Advance
The five-year yield dropped as much as eight basis points to a record 0.556 percent. The 30-year yield declined to an all- time low 2.76 percent, after being as high as 3.52 percent on March 16.
Yields on 10-year German bonds and U.S. Treasuries also fell to all-time lows as signs the global economy is stalling drove demand for the safest government securities.
"I don't know if we're on the edge of the precipice, but we're in a very, very, very difficult situation," de Guindos told a conference in Sitges, Spain, yesterday. The euro area is in real danger of disintegrating unless policy makers revamp the bloc's fiscal and economic ties, Economic and Monetary Commissioner Olli Rehn said today in Helsinki.
U.S. payrolls climbed by 69,000 last month, less than the most-pessimistic forecast in a Bloomberg News survey, after a revised 77,000 gain in April that was smaller than initially estimated, the Labor Department said in Washington. The median estimate was for a 150,000 advance in May.
The extra yield investors demand to hold 10-year U.K. gilts instead of two-year notes shrank to 1.27 percentage points, the least since October 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg based on closing prices. The narrowing spread shows traders are betting the inflation rate will slow.
Pound Falls
The pound weakened for a fifth day against the yen after Markit Economics and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said their index of U.K. manufacturing dropped to 45.9 in May, the first reading below 50 this year.
Sterling declined for a second day versus the euro as the British Chambers of Commerce predicted the U.K. economy will barely expand this year. Gross domestic product will grow 0.1 percent in 2012 as turmoil from the euro-area debt crisis hurts demand, the London-based organization said.
"With our largest trading partner in recession, we could be in for a very tough year with few signs of recovery," said Andy Scott, an account manager at currency specialist HiFX in Windsor, west of London. Lack of growth will make "monetary easing all the more likely, increasing the risk of the pound dropping below $1.50."
The pound fell 0.3 percent to $1.5357 after dropping to $1.5269, the weakest since Jan. 13. Sterling depreciated 0.5 percent to 120.06 yen after sliding to 118.81 yen, the lowest since Jan. 19. It declined 0.4 percent to 80.60 pence per euro.
The U.K. currency has strengthened 2 percent this year, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, which track 10 developed-nation currencies, the second-best performer after the dollar, which gained 3.4 percent.
Gilts returned 17 percent over the past year, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German bunds gained 15 percent, and U.S. Treasuries rose nine percent.
