Wow... I never saw Dumbo in WDW. I want to get his autograph!
I hafta say that even a jaded guy such as meself would totally geek out over a photo op with Dumbo.

No they do not get to ride w/ Mickey and Minnie. The only ride you can ride w/ a character is Goofy's barnstormer in Toontown and its the first ride of they day you can ride w/ Goofy, they used to have Br'er Bear and Br'er Rabbit on Splash Moutain but they cant do that anymore. I have also seen pictures of Woody, Jessie and Bullseye riding Thunder Moutain but its only for special events like Christmas Parties, Halloween Parties and stuff like that, but that character can not have a line.
We've ridden the Aladdin Carpets with Jasmine and the Genei and have seen them ride with guests several other times. I'm not sure how often it happens, but we got to ride at the same time. Genie was sitting in the back with a little boy and Jasmine was in the front with a little girl. It was really cute.
If we can dream it, we can do it.
I just love World of Warcraft.

Save Our Papers Foundation
5300 Caroline St
Houston, TX
The Southeast Net Worth Broadcasting Learning Center (BLC), also know as the Save Our Papers Foundation, was created in October 2010 by media and journalism professionals with a desire to see Houston excel to the greatest capacity in media and television production, film and more.Background: Houston is the fourth largest city in the country. With over 4 million people in Houston and the surrounding areas, it should be a top contender in local and national media. However, in national television news, Houston sits at #10, and the amount of local production is surprisingly small, as many networks in the Houston area use air national programming instead of opting for more locally produced programs or shows.
The Need: Houston is the home of the first public broadcasting network, however over time, other industries have become more prominent in the city, and the growth of the media industry in Houston seems to be at a standstill. An agency, an organization of some sort was needed to oversee and promote the continuing development and growth of Houston's media, thus the Save Our Papers Foundation was born.
Our Mission: The BLC's mission to increase the awareness of the process and existence of Houston media, and actively promote the advancement and growth of of Houston media in the community and in the country.

Public Health News Roundup: March 26
Media Coverage of Mass Shootings Harms Attitudes on Mental Illness
Media coverage of mass shootings by people with mental illness can increase support for policies to reduce gun violence, but can also increase the stigmatization of people with mental illness and lessens the chance they will seek help, according to a new study in the American Journal of Psychiatry. "The aftermath of mass shootings is often viewed as a window of opportunity to garner support for policies to reduce gun violence, and this study finds public support for such policies increases after reading news stories about a mass shooting," said study author Emma E. McGinty, MS, a PhD candidate with the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, part of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "However, we also found that the public's negative attitudes toward persons with serious mental illness are exacerbated by news media accounts of mass shootings involving a shooter with mental illness." Read more on violence.
Study Links Excessive Television Viewing, Antisocial Behavior in Young Children
Antisocial behavior is more likely in young children who watch three or more hours of television a day, according to a new study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. Researchers found that five-year-olds in that demographic were more likely to exhibit such behavior by the age of seven. Study author Alison Parkes, of the University of Glasgow in Scotland, said the findings support the decision by many parents to limit television time. Still, the researchers noted that this correlation does not equal causation. Excessive television watching by kids has also been linked to poorer physical health and performance in classrooms. Read more on mental health.
Cutting Medical Interns' Hours Reduces Training Time, Increase Risks to Patients
Efforts to increase the amount of sleep by medical interns by reducing the number of continuous hours they work actually decreases the number of training opportunities and increases the risk to patients, according to a new study in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. They also don't get any more sleep in an average week. "Despite the best of intentions, the reduced work hours are handcuffing training programs, and benefits to patient safety and trainee well-being have not been systematically demonstrated," said study leader Sanjay Desai, an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the internal medicine residency program at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. "We need a rigorous study. We need data to inform this critical issue." Read more on access to health care.

Captain America's Message to Fox News
In anticipation of the new Captain America movie, I recently watched the 1944 serial starring Dick Purcell as Grant Gardner, district attorney, who also happens to be ... Captain America! So where's Steve Rogers? And Bucky? And his mighty shield? And World War II? And the wings on his helmet? Good questions, all. At least there's this WW II-era poster on the wall of one scene:
NO ROOM FOR RUMORS. How has the left not used this slogan, not to mention the poster itself, against Fox News and all of its rumors? Seriously. Someone needs to plaster this thing over Roger Ailes' mouth. We need to say it every time Bill O., or Karl R., or any of the countless rumormongers on that network get going. Let's face it. If the WWII-era slogan would appeal to any demographic, it would appeal to Fox's demographic.

We live in the Los Angeles area and had Marathon grass sod put in about 9 years ago. Last year I noticed Burmuda grass growing in a corner of the back yard. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? Will it eventually take over the yard? We also have lots of crabgrass growing and I wonder if I use crab grass killer to spray on it, if this will also brown out or kill the marathon grass around it? Thanks!
PS. A neighbor told me that if we a gardner, that the grass and weeds from the other people's yards that they mow, gets 'seeded' into out yard from their mower. Is that right? |

Dear BT33 Thank you very much for your inquiry. I suggest you buy a product called Acclaim extra (fenoxaprop-ethyl). It will take out crabgrass easily, and with repeat applications 2-3 weeks apart will knockout the bermudagrass. You will need to go to a turf specialty/supply store (like Lesco) to get this product, I believe. Seeds and stems do travel via vehicles and water. There is little to do to prevent it. It has been happening in nature since the beginning. Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more. Respectfully Trey Rogers, The Briggs & Stratton Yard Doctor, YardDoctor.com |

I recently planted Marathon seed in my front yard. The grass came in nicely but a lot of weeds with it. How can I kill the weeds without hurting the grass? |

Very impressive people worked on The Counselor. Directed by an Academy Award-nominated director. Written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who is In The Conversation for a Nobel Prize. Starring a mixed-company cast of movie stars, Oscar winners, and internet boyfriends: Michael Fassbender, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Cameron Diaz, Brad Pitt. You would be forgiven, then, for thinking that The Counselor is not the sort of movie in which someone engages in sexual congress with a car.
But in point of fact, The Counselor is indeed a film in which someone (Cameron Diaz) has sex (intercourse) with a car (Ferrari). The scene comes relatively early in the movie — although The Counselor is a movie that seems to last forever and also a movie in which nothing really seems to happen, so it might be more accurate to say that Cameron Diaz is actually having sex with a car for the entire movie. Indeed, it might be that the entirety of human history is merely an endless repetition of the essential primal state of being, and said primal state is in fact a state of Cameron Diaz Having Sex With Car-ness.

KYIV Posts
For this week's City Focus, we look to the Ukrainian city of Kyiv, to shine a light on its fantastic -- and ever growing -- archive of presentations, latest of which were recorded at the city's Vol. 17 in October.
14 июня прошла очередная встреча Pecha Kucha Night. В этот раз темой встречи «Память. Время. Фотография». Открыл встречу Тимофей Евграшин, представитель фонда PechaKucha в Киеве. Так как к нам постоянно присоединяются новые участники, которые впервые узнали о формате, Тимофей специально для них поделился рассказом о формате, о проекте и о том, что мы делаем в Киеве и почему. Далее мы перешли к самим рассказам. Это были семь абсолютно разных рассказов. Кто-то своим рассказом вдохновил, кто-то заставил задуматься, кто-то глубоко затронул душевные струны. В любом случае каждый рассказ подарил незабываемые впечатления. Спасибо всем рассказчикам, кто решил поделиться своими историями. Уже скоро можно будет увидеть слайдкасты этих выступлений на нашем сайте, а сегодня — фотоотчет, как же это происходило. За приятную и камерную атмосферу мы благодарим нашего партнера — Музей Сновидений. И как всегда, каждый рассказчик получил в подарок записную книжку от нашего постоянного партнера Brainshop, что всегда приятно!
Presentations Christian Fletcher is a landscape photographer who photographs not only the beautiful South West of Australia but is now expanding his portfolio to include the rest of Australia and locations around the world. His presentation (from PKN Dunsborough Vol. 5) covers a new photography collaboration, exhibition, and workshop that is coming up in the near future. How did Jonathan Norton get out of writing a 20-page assignment? He promised a 100-page play instead, based on the Nina Simone song "Mississippi Goddam." Here's the story (from PKN Dallas Vol. 10). As we find out in this presentation (in Ukrainian, from PKN Kyiv Vol. 9), Kids-Coins is an educational project -- held inside and outside school -- that teaches children and teenagers the basics of financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Sergey Bidenko and Irina Zolotarevych -- co-authors of the "Kids-Coins" projects -- are experienced business coaches who have implemented 37 training and educational programs for adults and youth. Posters Today's addition to the Tumblr blog is for Miami's upcoming very special Vol. 20 -- we always love seeing a city reach that number -- which doubles as a pre-Art Basel evening. It happens on December 1, and you'll find the full list of presenters with links on the event page. Photos Mikkeli recently held its very first PKN (and two weeks later, its Vol. 2), and here's the photo gallery [Flickr] to prove it -- you'll also find the full list of presenters with links on the event page. Calendar There are no PKNs tonight, but tomorrow night (November 20) you can look forward to the following two events: PKN Calgary Vol. 14 and PKN Coquitlam Vol. 8.
Presentations In her presentation (from PKN Tokyo Vol. 95), artist Yuko Hishiyama shares the striking work she's been producing, mostly in the form of sculptures made of aluminum mesh. The resulting "people" she creates have not only starred in their own shows, but have also been made to interact with other famous pieces. Ixchel Lechuga's presentation (in Spanish, from PKN Xalapa Vol. 8) is all about why the city center can and should produce agriculture products. She makes her point by highlighting some of the advantages that can be felt by both the countryside and the city. Posters We have two new additions to the Tumblr blog today, one for PKN Ornskoldsvik Vol. 2 and one for PKN Istanbul Vol. 15, pictured above. Below, more details on the Istanbul event.
PechaKucha Night İstanbul Vol. 15 Special Edition will take place at The Building Information Centre (YEM) on October 17th. This PechaKucha Night will be organised within the "Dutch-Turkish Connecting Creativity" program during the opening week of the Istanbul Design Biennale titled "Imperfection." "Oh God! Please Give Me A Makeover!" As all the efforts on urban transformation/regeneration/revitalisation go on, what are we transforming into as citizens? Has new urbanism regenerated the way we are and the way we behave? Are we really getting revitalized? What is the new URBANITAS? Architects, designers and fashion designers from Turkey and the Netherlands will present their cases around the theme of "Urban Transformation."
Photos The photo above is from this photo gallery [Picasa] for last July's PKN Kyiv Vol. 8. Here's also a report on the event (Google translated). Calendar The three events happening tonight are PKN Aalborg Vol. 9, PKN Norrkoping Vol. 19, and PKN Malaga Vol. 3. Tomorrow marks Szczecin's first PKN, along with PKN Bilbao Vol. 13.
The Psychological Impact of the Architectural Environment and Admiring the Paintings of Mikhail Vrubel
In his presentation (from PKN Miami Vol. 14), Juan Calvo uses a series of projects to explain and illustrated the psychological impact of the architectural environment. As you'll be able to tell after watching this presentation (in Ukrainian, from PKN Kyiv Vol. 7), Tatiana Tsvelodub is quite passionate about Mikhail Vrubel, an artist of the late 19th century. You'll see his paintings of St. Cyril's Church, St. Vladimir's Cathedral, and St. Sophia.
Presentations It would be difficult for a dog to give a presentation -- not many of us speak "dog" -- so in comes Lesley Ann Beck who, on behalf of Hamish McPuppy, describes a dog's life. It was recorded at PKN Pittsfield Vol. 1. Dan Voronov is a writer and director, and in this presentation (in Ukrainian, from PKN Kyiv Vol. 7) he explains how he has developed what he considers to be an improved way of conducting urban hikes. He's behind the "Kyiv Explore Together" project in which, under his guidance every Saturday, a group gets together to cross difficult terrain within Kyiv. Posters After yesterday's poster explosion -- which were also featured in the post -- we just have one new addition to the Tumblr blog today, for PKN Tbilisi Vol. 2 (above), which is happening this Friday. Calendar First, a reminder on what to expect tonight (July 25): PKN Derby Vol. 6, PKN Znojmo Vol. 1, PKN Helena Vol. 2, PKN Tokyo Vol. 94, and PKN Providence Vol. 40. Tomorrow night we have the following four PKNs set to take place: PKN Milwaukee Vol. 11, PKN Portland, Maine Vol. 20, PKN Detroit Vol. 12, and PKN Los Angeles Vol. 31.
Presentations Tatiana Guryeva's presentation (in Ukrainian, from PKN Kyiv Vol. 7) is based on recollections of her childhood. You'll see the Kyiv of the 70s and 80s, or at least how it has remained in her memory, as well as Pechersk, the area where she grew up, and Podol, the area where she currently lives.
Art's task is to Save the Soul of Mankind, and that anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because if the Artist, who are self-selected to be able to journey into the other... if the Artist cannot find the way, then the Way cannot be Found.
Adopting this Terence McKenna quote as his mantra and accidentally stumbling into what he calls "Thought Structure" through his art, blakeArt® (aka Matt Blake), with all his might and good intent, attempts to do just that: find a way for All. We are all "One" in the "Same," and he expands on that idea in this presentation (from PKN Chicago Vol. 18). Posters New on the Tumblr blog today are posters for PKN Guimaraes Vol. 3 (pictured above), PKN Springfield, Ohio Vol. 5, and PKN Cape Town Vol. 19. We've also added a few posters and flyers from PKN Buenos Aires that we hadn't come across in the past, including the flyer you see above, for the city's Vol. 21. PKN Buenos Aires Vol. 25 happens tonight. Photos and video We have a few photo galleries to share today, including from the recent PKN Barcelona Vol. 16, which is what you see above. After the link, you'll also find a great video round-up from the event -- we sure love that "20th Century Fox" intro done PK-style.
- PKN Barcelona Vol. 16
- PKN Norwich Vol. 4 [Flickr]
- PKN Winnipeg Vol. 10 [Facebook]
Calendar Tonight (June 26) your PKN satisfaction will come from the following two events: PKN Amersfoort Vol. 7 and the previously mentioned PKN Buenos Aires Vol. 25. Tomorrow, on top of PKN Tokyo Vol. 93, you'll find PKN Kingston Vol. 3 and PKN Providence Vol. 39.
Presentations By day, Monique Bouchard is a graphic designer and communications director who lives in Bangor's Old Town with her husband and son, but on weekends -- as she reveals in this presentation (from PKN Bangor, Maine Vol. 4) -- she travels back in time where she is... Aneleda Falconbridge, Bard of Kings. In Vladimir Geiko's presentation (in Ukrainian, from PKN Kyiv Vol. 7), he covers the injection of revolutionary ideas in the architectural appearance of Kyiv, and introduces us to the most advanced building technologies. Posters New on our Tumblr blog today is the poster for tonight's PKN Winnipeg Vol. 10 (pictured above), as well as a poster for Saturday's PKN Katowice Vol. 8. Below, a look at the poster for the upcoming PKN Buenos Aires Vol. 25. Calendar As we mentioned yesterday, it's a big night of PKNs (June 21) -- Thursday does seem to be the most popular day for PKNs -- and here are the 9 events taking place: PKN Hilversum Vol. 2, PKN Norwich Vol. 4, PKN Raleigh Vol. 11, PKN Pittsburgh Vol. 12, PKN Bemidji Vol. 13, PKN Vancouver Vol. 22, PKN Rotherham Vol. 1, PKN Winnipeg Vol. 10, and PKN Bilbao Vol. 12. Tomorrow, look for these events: PKN Zilina Vol. 19, PKN Sendai Vol. 2, PKN Miami Vol. 16, PKN Gisborne Vol. 9, and PKN Seattle Vol. 37.
Presentations Daniel Muñóz is a character animator, and in this presentation from PKN Miami Vol. 14 he explains the main principles and techniques required to produce animation work that manages to suck viewers in. Oleg Zhary is a photographer who lives and works in Kyiv, and in this presentation (in Ukrainian, from PKN Kyiv Vol. 7), he gives us all a stunning photographic tour of the capital of Ukraine through its iconic objects. Posters Today's addition to the Tumblr blog is the poster above, for the upcoming PKN San Diego Vol. 15. Here's more from PKN San Diego organizer Leslee Schaffer on the poster, as well as the event itself:
We are holding #15 at a venue in which we are hosting an exhibit for the next two weeks, called Orchids, Onions & Opportunities, an offshoot of our Orchids & Onions program. The exhibit strives to accomplish a lot of things; mostly, true to the mission of SDAF (and why PKN is such a great fit for SDAF) to raise awareness and encourage practical discourse about matters relative to our build environment. It's focus is on San Diego's civic spaces, and lack thereof. We usually don't theme our PKNs, having found that an organically curated event keeps things interesting and works quite well for us. This time, because of the exhibit, and other complementary events we decided to offer Making the Case for Public Space as a theme, and keep it interesting by presenting a range of perspectives on the matter. As fro the event flyer, we are blessed with the support of someone we believe to be one of the most inspired artists/designers ever here in San Diego. Her name is Terri Beth Mitchell. You have already posted a couple of her PKN SD flyers on your site, and we thought this one deserved special attention.
Photos We have a couple of photo galleries to share with you today. Above, one of the presenters from PKN San Juan Vol. 6, and below, the crowd at PKN Derby Vol. 5.

Calendar Here's what you can look forward to in terms of PechaKucha action tomorrow night (Tuesday, June 12): PKN Aalborg Vol. 8, PKN Toledo Vol. 2, PKN Ottawa Vol. 5, and PKN Hawkes Bay Vol. 2.
Presentations As we've covered multiple times on the blog, PechaKucha was in Milan last month for the Milano Salone (Milan Design Week), with a series of four PechaKucha events held at Heineken's temporary club space, designed by up-and-coming creators who were selected through a series of PechaKucha events in four cities. In this presentation (from PKN Tokyo Vol. 91), Jean Snow gives you a taste of what the events were like, and slips in a few design week-related slides as well. So you think you know about wine? Sommelier Fabien Jacob definitely knows a thing or two about the process of making wine, and in this presentation (from PKN San Antonio Vol. 5), he shows you what that process looks like. He also ends up explaining the types of grapes used, and famous winemaking regions. Posters Today we've added three beautiful posters from previous PKNs in Kosice (Vol. 15-17) to our Tumblr blog. We really love the minimalism of the Vol. 16 poster (above) -- certainly not what you tend to see from an event poster. Photos We have a few more photo galleries from the archives to share today. Above, cheers from an attendee at PKN San Juan Vol. 5, and then a relaxed audience taking in the outdoor PKN Warsaw Vol. 8.

Calendar As you saw yesterday, it's a busy week for PKNs -- and it's been a great month, with well over 80 events on the calendar -- and we've got lots more coming tomorrow (May 24): PKN Lucerne Vol. 4, PKN Koszalin Vol. 9, PKN Coruna Vol. 6, PKN Barcelona Vol. 16, and PKN Curitiba Vol. 2. For the weekend, you can look forward to PKN Dubai Vol. 11 and PKN Cancun Vol. 3 on Saturday, and then PKN Coventry Vol. 9 and PKN Nagano Vol. 20 on Sunday.

Those images of Martin McGuinness in white tie and tails in that recent picture frame of Royal grandeur tell the story of a long journey.
Twenty years ago, in the build up to Easter 1994, I remember an interview with him and his words back then spoken by an actor.
Those many years ago, we couldn't have imagined photographs with the Queen or Presidents and Prime Ministers.
The broadcasting ban of that period meant that McGuinness and Adams could be seen but not heard.
It was part of the government's response to continuing IRA violence.
But, those 20 years ago, things were just beginning to change.
My interview with McGuinness was broadcast on 23 March 1994.
Days earlier the IRA had launched mortar bombs at Heathrow Airport and then talked of being "flexible in exploring the potential for peace".
Understandably, people and politicians and governments got lost in that maze and muddle of mixed messages.
So lost indeed that they probably didn't pay much attention to what McGuinness had to say.
He called for face-to-face talks between the British Government and republicans and for clarification of the Downing Street Declaration of December 1993 and what it meant as a possible contribution to peace.
Then, at Easter 1994, the IRA announced a 72-hour ceasefire.
"Making peace is a difficult business for all involved but the difficulties must be overcome," it said.
"That too is the responsibility of all involved but particularly the British Government.
"We hope that the further opportunity here provided is used to that purpose and effect," the statement read.
The then Prime Minister John Major dismissed the statement as a cynical public relations exercise.
Clarification was given; not face-to-face but in writing.
And after months of encouragement from John Hume, the then Taoiseach Albert Reynolds and influential Irish Americans, the IRA announced "a complete cessation of military operations" in August.
It was the beginning of another beginning - a path out of that confusing maze.
Since then, the peace process has had many 'D' Days - Delay, De-Contamination, Deadlock, Death, Destruction, Decommissioning, Demilitarisation, Devolution and Dissidents to mention just some.
And, for all the progress seen in those recent pictures, we still have an incomplete, imperfect and unfinished peace.
It remains a work in progress.
But who, 20 years ago, as an actor spoke the words of Martin McGuinness, could have pictured him as Deputy First Minister and then in that Royal scene and setting as Easter 2014 approached?
McGuinness said there were reasons that both he and Queen Elizabeth could have found not to meet each other.
But beyond the ceasefires of 1994, peace building and reconciliation become the next steps.
Harold Good is just back from conversations in the Basque Country on conflict resolution.
He understands the importance and significance of that recent visit by Irish President Michael D Higgins to Britain and all the associated events and happenings and opportunities it provided.
"It must also challenge all of us of every political persuasion and religious tradition," the former Methodist President said.
And the church witness to IRA decommissioning in 2005 described that challenge as this:
"To seek and respond to any and every opportunity to demonstrate a willingness to offer imaginative and unexpected gestures as a contribution to reconciliation and the building of trust and new relationships across our fragmented community."
But trust is still the missing ingredient, in still divided communities, in all the talk of 'cultural war', in the fallout from the on-the-runs controversy and the stories of gun-running.
And in this incomplete peace, politics functions and then doesn't function.
It was only recently that First Minister Peter Robinson was discussing 'nuclear options'.
So, yes, this place has moved a long way from the tentative Easter ceasefire of 1994, but it still has a long way to go.
There are those in the republican community who view the presence of Martin McGuinness in that Royal setting as a confirmation of sell out and betrayal.
And it will no doubt be heard and referenced in the dissident republican Easter Commemorations and statements.
There was no road map those twenty years ago at Easter when we got those first words and hints of ceasefire.
Martin McGuinness didn't have a crystal ball in which he would have seen himself in that white tie and tails and in the company of the Queen.
There have been huge compromises along the way and many big gestures.
Who among us could have imagined the political double act of Paisley and McGuinness?
But peace building can't stall. It needs momentum and leadership.
Should we be surprised that in the 1990s after ceasefire the IRA would still have been smuggling weapons?
Does anyone believe the loyalists didn't?
Was decommissioning a complete process?
No it wasn't.
Peace doesn't come in an instant, but in a process.
Long after the ceasefires, the intelligence agencies were still bugging the cars, homes and offices of republicans.
Twenty years ago, ten years ago, no one could be absolutely confident that the wars were really over.
And, today, and in this Easter period, there is more to be done.
There can be the political sham fights or the real work of facing the next challenges;
How to end the activity of the dissidents who this Easter will still talk war;
How to negotiate and compromise on flags and marching;
How to find ways of addressing the past;
And, the huge challenge that is reconciliation.
This can't be about winners and losers, and the Past should be about victims and not votes.
It has taken 20 years to get this far from that three-day ceasefire at Easter 1994.
And what is the learning?
It is that peace does indeed come dropping slow.

Consider the Golden Sprinkler Award, the coveted annual citation presented to the course with the best kept turf on Cape Cod. Last year, Dennis Pines Golf Course wallowed in the glory of the honor. An impeccably groomed and murderously tight layout cut from a forest of scrub pine and oak in the cedar- shingled hamlet of Dennis, the 1997 Sprinkler winner is a muni where hand-carts are a popular option, the fairways are as contrived as your grandmother's lawn and the greens fee is only forty dollars. After 2 p.m. in the fall and spring, and after 3 p.m. in the peak season, it's twenty-two dollars for as many holes as you can play.
Such is golf on the Cape: unpretentious, thrifty, picturesque, challenging, quaint, surprisingly abundant -- and, come September, even leisurely and uncrowded. Most people think this sandy, seventy-mile hook of a peninsula sprouting from the Massachusetts coast is nothing but saltbox charm and seafood. Plenty of that, for sure. But it's also loaded with golf. The Cape has about forty courses, as diverse as the ingredients in a hearty chowder. Some are historically interesting -- two of them date to the 1890s, another to 1900. There are even some wonderful par-three and executive tracks. Seventy-five percent of the courses welcome visitors, falling into the categories of resort, public and municipal, the latter being most prevalent. Forget the munis' lousy rep: On Cape Cod these courses reflect intense small-town pride and display all the meekness of a drill sergeant.
For the ultimate golfer's Cape escape this fall, you'll want to sample the best, and those are Dennis Pines Golf Course, Bayberry Hills Golf Course and Ballymeade Country Club. The next best thing to playing these layouts is driving to them. Many golf courses in this rustically romantic province are at the end of sweet, bucolic roads, with only a discreet, weathered sign pointing the way. En route to your tee times you'll invariably pass through a string of delectable villages, each dripping storybook New England atmosphere. How lovely that the golf here hasn't gone slick and broken the spell.
In fact, Dennis Pines is downright old-fashioned. Save for the summer's heavy traffic, nothing about the place screams "Boom Sport of the Nineties!" No fairway homes, no posh pro shop with mounted TV tuned to the Golf Channel. Designed in 1964 by Henry C. Mitchell, Dennis's fairways go with the rippling roll of the land, and the greens are studies in subtlety -- medium size, slightly bowl shaped and edged in back by grassy ridges that snare skulled wedges and muscled approaches. And there's not one modern-art bunker, only a few smears of sand that dutifully flank putting surfaces.
At first glance, Dennis looks, literally, like a walk in the park. But beware the bogeyman lurking in those woods. This is among the narrowest layouts on the Cape and one of the longest (7,029 yards from the back tees). The fairways thread through stern stands, demanding extreme precision from launch to target. Those who automatically grab the big gun on every drive are in for a wake-up call. There's virtually no rough, but great walls of trees present quite enough trouble. Not only are the fairways frightfully skinny, they're also rife with squirrelly dips and bends. And many of the tees are fronted by rises that block out whatever lies ahead.
Best bet: Aim dead center.

Did you miss the last weekend of version 1.0? Do you want to release your anger by beating up Funguars? Well, you're in luck! Servers are reopening, but there's a catch.. or three.

Did you miss the last weekend of version 1.0? Do you want to release your anger by beating up Funguars? Well, you're in luck! Servers are reopening, but there's a catch.. or three.
Use your excitement to poke this.
...The final save was on November 1, therefore no progress from the reopening will be saved for the launch of A Realm Reborn...
This is reason enough to pass.
Do people think this re-launch will make a big difference overall?
With them still using a pay-to-play model.... I really doubt enough population will stay with it. People generally don't want to pay monthly anymore for this type of game.
i still pay monthly for FFXI. it depends on the person, i guess. though i do plan on playing FFXIV when it relaunches.
If that were true no one would be playing WoW. You can't tell me people don't still play WoW.
Zerase ^_^
Recently Finished: Suikoden II
Currently Playing: Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, Final Fantasy V
I'm interested in trying out the relaunch, now that it looks to have a halfway serviceable user interface.
for those of you who were confused about the video.. a member from the dev team posted on the forums answering some questions about version 1.0.

They actually stopped the fees for current players as of October 1st. Then they opened the game back up at that point for anyone who already had the game to come experience the big finale.
This reopening is basically for current players to play through the story quests just to have the experience. Or to rewatch all the cut-scenes that won't exist anymore. There is also the group going back over the story to look for clues about Bahamut, since Yoshi-P stated some clues went completely missed by the players.
I actually don't mind. I can do some archiving.
"To be forgotten is worse than death."
if i buy the current pc version now for a few bucks, can i activate it when it relaunches ?

What I am most passionate about: I'm obsessed with the organizations and people who say that they are passionate about fighting poverty, social injustice, and abuse of human rights. I'm obsessed with how these kinds of actors carve up the world a) conceptually, b) pragmatically, and c) in opposition to other actors. I'm obsessed with the idea that there is no way to step outside of power – no way to extricate yourself or your organization from power relations, no privileged stance from which to pronounce or act in a world. Along with many others, I believe that poverty – and marginalization, and exclusion – is most importantly about power, not technical fixes. And this then means that social change activists need to collaborate with strange bedfellows, rethink what counts as success, and think structurally and longer-term. What is clear to me is that as we enter the 20-teens, we need to rethink and reinvent the self-imposed boundaries and inter-relationships between public, private, and nonprofit enterprises. The world's wicked problems won't relent in the face of anything less.
What excites me about being a professor at MIIS: I spent 25 years working with nonprofit agencies focused on international development before coming to MIIS. I came to MIIS because I wanted to help students avoid the mistakes my generational colleagues and I made. I wanted to do so in a post-graduate institute that put high value on practical tools, approaches, and both personal and team strategies. I looked for a place with a commitment to praxis and interdisciplinarity. And I found MIIS, which satisfied all these standards. I get very excited when, in working with graduate students here at MIIS, we find ways to connect with external clients, deliver high value for money, and so enhance a program, a project, a strategy, or an organization.
I have extensive work and research experience in sub-Saharan Africa, having lived there for 13 years and focused on it as both an external and internal consultant to NGOs and public sector agencies for 10 more years. I specialize in organizations, organizational development, organizational behavior and culture, institutional and organizational fields, and organizational evolution and learning processes.
All my work and thinking centralizes on the power dynamics, inequalities, and identity politics that surround and constitute development projects, programs, and strategies. I have proven managerial and leadership competencies, and this understanding of how theory, big ideas, "best practice" and innovation actually get refracted through pragmatic choices of the working professional is perhaps the highest value I bring to my work with students. Related to this is experience in program and organizational monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems, performance management, strategic planning, and social, cultural, and political economic analysis. Finally, I have a strong background, both practically and academically, in civil society, social movements, and policy advocacy.
Recent Accomplishments
Appointed to Editorial Board of the Action Research Journal.
Led the formative evaluation of Save the Children's $20 million program devoted to global knowledge sharing and building robust communities of practice related to food security programming.
Worked with the Ford Foundation in China – and NGO partners there -- on a strategic monitoring, evaluation, and learning system for the country office. This work is ongoing.
Contributed a chapter to a book on understanding culture and cultural change for the Army Research Institute, a book targeted at army officers, as well as being lead expert for a training module for army staff on using appreciative inquiry to advise host country staff on organizational development and change. This work is ongoing.
Authored Oxfam America's Rights-Oriented Programming for Effectiveness and Oxfam International's Program Principles, which both served to strategically frame the organization's long-term and rights-based approaches to development and social change.
Designed a three-year, multi-level portfolio assessment of CARE's work on women's empowerment and oversaw the massaging of evaluation results into organizational practice.
Previous Work
Prior to accepting an appointment at MIIS, I worked for Oxfam America for four years, CARE USA for 12 years, during which time I had the opportunity to live and work in Mali for nearly seven years, Mozambique for four years, and Ethiopia for more than two years. My consulting has taken me to more than 30 countries in Africa, south and east Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. I've also worked with the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health and I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali.
- Bachelor in Journalism, Northwestern University, 1983.
- Masters in Communication, Cornell University, 1990.
- Ph.D., Emory University, 2005.
Careers in Strategic Planning and Management
Students working with me will be well prepared for consulting on or full-time positions in program/project monitoring and evaluation, strategic planning, project and program management, and facilitating organizational change processes. You might find yourself in the human resources department of a large international NGO, as a learning or staff/management development specialist. You might find yourself the manager of a civil society strengthening project in sub-Saharan Africa financed by a philanthropic foundation. You might find yourself part of a team contracted to evaluate a program or project of Oxfam or CARE.

Leadership candidate Kathleen Wynne is seen with her partner Jane Rounthwaite
Credits: REUTERS
Jane Rounthwaite, who is married to Wynne, owns 40% of The Osborne Group which counts Ontario government ministries and organizations funded through the provincial treasury as clients.
"Jane has already met with the Integrity Commissioner, those protections are being put in place so she will never be in a situation where she is bidding on a government contract," Wynne said. "And there will be a wall between her and any of those contracts. So we are being very prudent and very careful that she's not involved in anything that would have directly to do with the government."
But opposition members say they're not certain that enough is being done to prevent a conflict of interest.
Tory MPP Todd Smith said the situation warrants more scrutiny and transparency.
"It's a big concern to us and I'm surprised it's actually taken until now to become public, and that the new premier wouldn't have brought this forward earlier," Smith said.
NDP MPP Gilles Bisson said he's not aware of the details of Rounthwaite's company but said the issue should be before the integrity commissioner.
"Normally the convention is the family of the premier, the family of the cabinet minister, can't be involved in a business that's connected to the business of the government," Bisson said. "It's something that's a concern, it's something that needs to be looked at..."
Cathryn Motherwell, Director of the Office of the Integrity Commissioner said in a statement to QMI Agency that the office was approached by Rounthwaite's business regarding possible conflict of interest issues.
"The Office is bound by confidentiality regarding all inquiries received under the Members' Integrity Act, 1994, as well as on any advice provided," Motherwell said.
The Osborne Group of Toronto, which in 2012 was half owned by Rounthwaite, has served the government ministries of children and youth services, community and social services, economic development and trade, finance, health and long-term care and revenue.
Although she has been in cabinet for several years, Wynne did not serve in any of those portfolios.

so+gi fact sheets
Short Femur or Humerus
What is a fetal soft marker?
A soft marker is a finding at the morphology (18-20 week) scan which:
· can occur in a normal fetus
· can occur in a fetus with Down syndrome
· is not an abnormality
· increases the risk for Down syndrome above your age-related risk
What does a short femur or humerus mean for my baby?
Studies have shown that some fetuses with Down syndrome have slightly shorter femur (thigh bones) and/or humerus (upper arm bones) lengths. For this reason, the detection of a fetus with a bone length which measures shorter than the normal range will increase the risk of Down syndrome. It is acknowledged however that the "normal" range may differ depending on ancestry or parental stature (height). Not all fetuses with short femur or humerus measurements will have Down syndrome.
Ultrasound image of femur
What happens next?
After a soft marker has been detected, the sonographer or doctor will look closely at the fetus for any other markers. After the scan, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss your options with a doctor or a genetic counsellor. The significance of the finding will be explained to you. If the presence of short femur and/or humerus measurements adjusts your risk of a chromosome abnormality into the high risk category, or, if you feel that the presence of this marker is likely to cause you ongoing concern, amniocentesis may be offered to you. This test examines the baby's chromosomes, but has an associated risk of miscarriage (1:200).

Salomon Men's Eskape GORE-TEX Hiking Shoes
Great boots
I Have worn Salomon boots for years. I wear these ones for work and they are great. I am a FedEx driver and spend alot of time on my feet and these keep my feet dry and ready to go. My feet are not sore when I get home from work as they are with some other boots, I wear these boots 10-14 hours a day and love them.
December 7, 2014
Wet feet
I had have just the opposite experience with these shoes. I purchased the shoes to walk my dogs. Everything I walk the dogs when it rains or in the grass after the morning dew my feet get soaked. I'm very displeased with these shoes.
September 14, 2014
So far, so (mostly) good
A disc golfing friend of mine loves his Salomons, so when it came time to replace my Keens (which had served me well, unlike my Merrells, which didn't), I decided to give Salomons a try.
One thing I noticed right away was that the shoelace length was barely sufficient - an extra inch or two would have been nice. Took a couple wears to break them in, while in comparison, the Keens were comfortable at first wear. The Salomons are more comfortable to wear while driving a car, as the heel is not as broad.
On the golf course, the shoes have been fine so far, with no unusual wear. The real tests will be when a) I wear them in very wet conditions, and b) how they wear after another fifty or so rounds of golf.
September 13, 2014
Good hiking shoes
First time using Salomon but I can tell this shoes are amazing, we hike in Las Vegas area and weather is really hot, breathable shoes so I was cool all the time, I'm definitely getting the boots for winter.
April 22, 2014
Love them!
My first pair of Salomon and I admit they are not cheap but they have been awesome. They are light and I hardly notice them on. I am hard on shoes and so far these have worn very well! Love them!
November 12, 2013
Beat the heck out of these shoes and lasted. I would just hose them off and the were like new.
November 4, 2013
Great Sneaker
There was a little break in time, but after that they have been comfortable. I love that they are gortex my feet stay dry. They are fairly light weight with good tread.
October 22, 2013
Love Salomon
Bought these for my boyfriend but I have many Salomon shoes. I highly recommend Salomon hiking and running shoes; actually any shoe they make. Salomon shoes have excellent support and the tread is the best I've tried. Bf says this is a great shoe. Wd have given it a 5 but need a tiny bit wider; will buy W next time. Haven't had it long enough to give a 5 for quality - hoping it wears well and has a decent life span. Other Salomon shoes I've had DID last and wear well so I'm hoping the quality hasn't waned like many products that used to be good but now fall apart quickly.
September 28, 2013
Great shoe
Super lightweight, comfortable, works very well with replacement orthotic support. Looks great. Excellent hiking shoe, but I wear mine most of the time for work and leisure.
June 4, 2013
Seriously waterproof
I'm a landscape lawn service biz owner of 8 yrs in Va beach. I've tried lots of shoes and boots- But could never find something to where that could handle the real outdoors ( walking through morning dew is like walking in the rain) and cutting grass in them -- plus maybe not have a boot tan line in June.Well- that changed with these shoes -- AND-- they were put to the true test a few days ago- torrential downpour - in the back of a elevated dump truck bed( disclaimer dangerous: don't try) ... trying to move the yard of composted material off with my feet.So the shoes were covered in mud and i had to finish cleaning up the jobsite while it was pouring... Everything i had on got wet... Including the 1" of water in my door panels cause i left the door open during this fiasco. I got home-- and when i got home and took off my Salomons-- my feet were actually dry. The ankle part of my sock was understandably wet because i had on shorts.... But the wet never went past the bottom of my ankle bone-- leaving the bottoms of my feet dry.Amazing. Truly impressed - Finally something that goes as hard as me besides my GMC.

Know your farmer will fade but Wal-Mart holds key to local food
Tom Karst
Related Articles
"...expanding acceptance of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits at farmers markets; the agency reports a 50% increase just last year in the number of farmer markets accepting SNAP benefits." Easy to explain... the USDA Value Added and/or Farmers Market Promotion Programs priority funding including installation of remote card readers to be able to accept SNAP payments at Farmers' Markets.
The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food program may be a politically volatile program, but its effects as an education and awareness tool cannot be underestimated. Thousands of school children are aware of the campaign and are demanding better food choices from their parents. In addition, the developmental programs for food hubs have made local food an economic engine for regions and a way to eek out better efficiencies out of area food systems. Whether the program survives Merrigan or Vilsack is not the issue. The seed planted by Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food is a stronger local food system that is NOT dependent on the Wal-Marts, Krogers and Wegmans of the world. Michelle Ferrier, Ph.D. Founder and Publisher, LocallyGrownNews.com
KYF2 is a web-based initiative that helps citizens access, in an easy to navigate way, the myriad of programs for and about farming that the USDA provides. It's marketing simple and plainly to help folks navigate programs of the USDA that can help them. It is a marketing tool used by the USDA to communicate with the general population. To insinuate that it is anything more is simply not the truth. The trend of consumers wanting to know their farmer is good. It's healthy; it's good for everyone in our food system; it's good for our health care system. We're returning to our grandparents way of life... growing and eating our food and living long healthy lives.
While no one can accurately predict the future, Mr. Karst ignores the obvious fact that the buy fresh, buy local movement is being lead by disgruntely consumers. While I am sure that Mr. Karst and the large packagers and distributors that he represents would wish this consumer trend will go away, I believe it will not. That is why he is attacking USDA'a and Ms Kerrigan to try to kill the program as soon as possible. Local producers have been under attack by large corporate farm interersts for decades, squeezing their margins as much as possible to channel more profits to middle men, processors and retailers like Walmart. But the local market is one of the few places where a true free market exists, where Mr. Karst and his supporters cannot monopolize. If they really want to go at reducing government costs, eliminate direct farm payments and other commodity subsidies so that the local farmer can compete in a true open and free market. When it comes to freshness, nutrition, taste, safety and an equal playing field for pricing, Mr. Karst and his large corporate backers would have a lot to worry about. Each year, more and more consumers know the difference. No wonder he is trying to dismiss it as a fad, and kill any government support to encourage its continued growth..
As the largest retailer in the country, what Wal-Mart aims to accomplish with local sourcing of produce will have a huge impact on the local food movement, perhaps even more than the beloved farmers markets. An open question; will Wal-Mart's embrace kill the movement? Tom K
Tom, As local/regional grows beyond its staunch supporters (Whole Foods, et al), I think the support of players such as Walmart is helpful to a point, but only because it brings visibility to the effort. I am seeing much more support from regional players such as (in my area) Ingles and The Fresh Market. This is the type of support which I believe will actually do more to move local/regional produce into the mainstream market..

Tonight from 7-10PM, CityFabric is hosting an exhibition of their civic-minded tees, totes, and stretched canvas art-pieces in conjunction with Hyperpublic, an NYC geolocal start-up. Based in Raleigh, NC, Matt Tomasulo started CityFabric as a way for people to become visually engaged with their community. In an effort to spark more inter-community discussion about city environments, CityFabric has created a series of art prints and wearable maps to address the growing problem of urban isolation.
Inspired by the work of Giambatista Nolli, City Fabric offers a modern interpretation of "figure-grounds" that gained such popularity in Raleigh, that they've now expanded to more dense cities. Tonight, CityFabric's "Wear You Live" pieces will be on display at the Hyperpublic headquarters: 416 West 13th Street, Suite 310, New York, NY. Grab some free food and drinks and learn a little bit more about this dynamic start-up!

Your pastor is hunkered down behind locked gates, his only communication with the congregation via pre-recorded video messages. Fifteen of your sister churches are closing. The church you believed in, the pastor you loved, the people you came to call brothers and sisters–it's all falling apart. With a heavy heart and after much prayer, you decide it's time to leave. You make a few phone calls. Or maybe you just disappear. Either way, a few days later you find yourself in full-blown withdrawal. You haven't felt this way since you quit cigarettes ten years ago. You feel desperate. Freaked out. Confused. Depressed. Maybe you're having nightmares. Maybe you're doubting yourself. Did you make the right decision? Is God angry with you? Friend, I'm here to tell you–you're not alone. Others have walked this path. I'm one of them. I even wrote a book about it. I'm here to help you. Let's start with your immediate future. Here are some things you can do right now to insure a full and healthy recovery…You're gonna be OK. We're all gonna be OK. xo. EE.
: : : :
1. Refrain from diving into another church. Just like leaving a bad relationship, you suddenly find yourself with a huge, empty hole in your life. The urge to fill that hole is overwhelming. Just wait.
You need time to heal and recover from what you just experienced. Your soul needs rest. Go to church if you feel that will help you–but avoid becoming involved. Let yourself heal.2. Write Down Your Experience. As time passes, it becomes increasingly difficult to remember what happened. Especially when it comes to trauma, our brains might try to "block" us from remembering what we experienced. If we don't write down what happened, it's easy to fall into nostalgia, reminiscing about all the "good times we had." Distance makes the heart grow fonder. By writing it down you remind yourself why you don't want to go back and you identify harmful patterns of behavior so you will avoid similar churches in the future.
3. Seek Support. Sometimes if our spiritual abuse was so bad, we may isolate ourselves. As someone who has done this repeatedly, I can assure you that isolation only makes things worse. It locks us in with our obsessive ruminations. This leads to resentment. We need the support of others to help us process and release our trauma. Seek support through safe ex-members.
If you can afford a therapist, seek a certified professional not just a "biblical counselor." Avoid public online interaction (at least initially). Ye shall not be healed via Facebook, Twitter or blogs. Healing takes place offline. However, secret FB groups can be very helpful.4. Change your phone number, unfriend unsafe people, move out of town. Depending on the severity of the abuse and how close you were to the inside circle, you may need to make radical changes in the interest of healing. Sometimes a total cut-off is necessary. If you are like I was, you needed to cut everyone off (save for a couple safe, trusted friend) in order to re-learn how to live. Being around people who are still involved with the abusive church or who still defend it will trigger old thought patterns and behaviors.
5. Radical Self Care: You are probably burned out, disillusioned and exhausted. Take a FULL YEAR to take care of yourself before you commit to anything new. Many people don't realize that leaving an abusive church is a major life event similar to birth, death or divorce. After a major life change, we are tempted to act out in unhealthy ways. Perhaps we eat too much, drink too much, watch too much TV or become sexually promiscuous. I can guarantee you that these behaviors will only lead to more pain. Self-care is not self-indulgence. Self-care means prioritizing sleep, healthy eating and rest. Choose one thing to focus on. Perhaps start a gentle exercise routine or choose to eat healthy. Maybe give your mind a break by limiting social media use or turning off your phone. Little steps of self-care lead to big, overall changes. Whatever you choose, don't overdo it. Remember that you are vulnerable right now and the tendency is to overdo everything–even healthy things. You are learning–maybe for the first time–how to be gentle with yourself. Take your time. Go slow. It's all gonna be OK.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Series that include this title
From the critics

Add a CommentFantastic book to read! Keeps me glued! Lot of suspense, thrilling moments, moments that made me emotional! AWESOME! EPIC!
Harry Potter is by far one of the best book series I have ever read. It was frightening and thrilling at times and at other times almost made me want to cry.
A frightening, emotionally draining struggle through a dangerous world precedes a climactic final conflict. Suspenseful and absorbing. The concluding chapters are a highlight of the series. For older readers.
Harry Potter goes on a another interesting but Dangerous adventure for Prof.Dumbledore left Harry,Ron and Hermionie some gifts but at first they seem to to have no meaning later on in the book Harry starts to question his relationship with Dumbledore for Rita Skeeter has written a new book: The Life & Lies Of Albus Dumbledore!
I LOVE this series so much!!! I have read it tons of times and encourage everyone else to read the series!
I've been a die-hard Harry Potter fan for years now, still am, and the anticipation of this final book was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. I was over the moon with excitement. Pottermania was more than just colorful costumes, or wand-waving, or playing quidditch in your backyard. The story had an elemental substance, a cross-cultural testament to true living. The magic was greater than the sum of its parts. How can something like that not end on a high note? The Deathly Hallows, the last act of one of the most celebrated sagas of our generation, concludes not as the triumph it could have been but as an embarrassing, hollow groan. JK Rowling was either incapable or unwilling to deliver an HP novel worthy of her prior standards.

Add a SummaryAt a time when the forces of evil seem to be gaining the upper hand, Harry comes of age in the wizarding world, and must take on and defeat Voldemort--or be killed himself. It is the epic conclusion of the whole harry Potter series which includes both Deathly Hallows movies' plot in this book.
It all began with Harry Potter and his journey through the halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now every moment in Harry's life has led to this. The late Albus Dumbledore has left Harry and company on a mission to find and destroy all of the evil Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes. But the ruthless Death Eaters have overthrown the Ministry of Magic and taken over. Now Harry must destroy the Horcruxes, race against time and return to Hogwarts to fight the final showdown with the Dark Lord himself. Neither can live while the other survives as the prophecy states.
Harry potter is found to be sent a quest by Albus Dumbeldor after his death by Severus Snape. The quest is to find Voldemort's Very well hidden horuxes and destroy them to finally defeat Voldemort. Now Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger adventure to find the last two horuxes, and by then if all the horuxes are destroyed Voldemort can at last be defeated. But remember the prophocy: Neither can live while the other survives.
It all ends here with a battle between good & evil.
Harry, Ron, and Hermoine come back to Hogwarts to look for 2 of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Rowena Ravenclaw's lost diadem and Voldemort's snake, Nagini. Voldemort and his army of Death Eaters arrive at Hogwarts as well. Harry's friends defend him against the Death Eaters. In the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort, one must die because neither can live whilst the other survives.
Following Dumbledore's death, Voldemort continues to gain support and increase his power. When Harry turns seventeen, the protection he has at his aunt and uncle's house will be broken. Before that can happen, at Mad Eye Moody's suggestion, Harry flees to the Burrow with his friends, many of whom use Polyjuice Potion to impersonate him so as to confuse any Death Eaters that may attack. They are indeed attacked shortly after leaving Privet Drive; Mad Eye is killed, and George Weasley wounded, but the rest arrive safely at the Burrow. Harry, Ron, and Hermione know they cannot return to Hogwarts School for their seventh year. Instead, they decide to finish the quest Dumbledore started: to hunt and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, objects in which he has hidden parts of his soul for the purpose of being immortal. They isolate themselves to ensure their friends and families' safety. They have little knowledge about the remaining horcruxes except the possibility that two are objects once belonging to Hogwarts founders Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and a third may be Nagini, Voldemort's snake familiar. The whereabouts of the two founders' objects is unknown, and Nagini is presumed to be with Voldemort. As they search for the Horcruxes, the trio learn more about Dumbledore's past. Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour are married, but the wedding is disrupted by the news that Voldemort has taken over the Ministry of Magic
Harry, Ron and Hermione have quit Hogwarts and are on the run to do just what they promised Dumbledore - defeat all of Voldemort's horcruxes. But it is not as easy as it looks. Along the way, Harry also overcomes many more mysteries in need of desperate answers - who was this mysterious thief? Was Dumbledore a traitor? Where are the Deathly Hallows?
With all the challenges, and questions ahead of them, Harry, Ron and Hermione strive so hard to find all the horcruxes - only to face a terrible fate back at Hogwarts.
An epic end to an epic series. Voldemort has taken over the Ministry and Hogwarts, and the Golden Trio is now on the run. Will they manage to destroy or the Horcruxes before it's too late- or will the Death Eaters catch up with them? How do you remain hidden when the whole world recognizes your face...
Begun a decade ago and encompassing six shelf-bending novels, the seventh and concluding volume of the international literary phenomenon that is the Harry Potter saga comes to a bombshell-packed -- and oh so satisfying -- conclusion in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, arguably the most wildly anticipated release in modern publishing history.
Awesome! This is such an amazing book I wish it would last for ever! I saw the Part 2 Movie the other day and it was amazing <3! King's Cross Station was done perfectly :D The only criticism I have of the movie is the end battle of Hogwarts, they cut out the House Elves, and Buckbeck and the Centaurs (Foly :p) and the Giants helping to fight and kill the Death Eaters. They also cut out that Harry and Voldemort were supposed to fight in the Great Hall and Harry would tell him about the Hollows and everything... but whatever. Great Book <3 Good Movie :D

If memoirs are a form of public psychoanalysis, with readers playing the role of the quietly nodding therapist, then it's no surprise that so many of them from the likes of Augusten Burroughs, Jeannette Walls, Mary Karr, even Barack Obama focus on parents and their shortcomings. Dave Itzkoff's account of his father's cocaine addiction and the havoc it wreaked has the steadied tone of someone who has spent a long time thinking about the things he is now ready to get off his chest.
For almost the entirety of his youth, Itzkoff's father was a phantom, a coke-fueled shade materializing in the dead of night to deliver a rambling soliloquy to his half-asleep young son, and then disappearing again just as quickly. (''When I woke up in the morning, he would be gone, leaving me to wonder if I'd dreamed it all.'') But the majority of the action takes place years after Itzkoff has moved out on his own and his father has stopped using, as the two of them reflect, almost postmortem, on their relationship. They speak, but only sporadically, and usually in the form of volleys and countervolleys of blame.
There is a difficulty in writing a memoir in which the essential character is defined by absence, and Cocaine's Son occasionally lacks a strong center. There is some formidable writing here, and many passages are movingly honest, but too much time is spent on Itzkoff's attempts, as an adult, to understand his father's failures and not enough on his actual experiences with the man.

In our report yesterday of Comicup10, Shanghai's largest dojin convention which took place on May 27, we mentioned that the impressive turnout of both dojin circles and fans suggests a bright future for otaku culture in China.
Yet it was the coplayers—or "cosers" as they call them—that stole the show. Not only did they seem to make up roughly half the attendees, but the quality of their costumes expressed a devotion to and adoration for Japanese pop culture that made us feel proud to be neighbors.

Fullerton, Ca - Someone once said there are as many fraud schemes, or scams, as there are grains of sand on the beach. In just the last three years, victims have lost more than $42 million to lottery scams, many of which originated in a foreign country. Older Americans are a prime target of these scammers, who prey on seniors, who are perceived to have time and money. As a result, it is absolutely essential today that senior citizens learn how to avoid becoming a victim. This is where the Fullerton Community Center is ready to help.
On Tuesday, March 18, the Fullerton Community Center will host a special seminar on mail and consumer fraud featuring, an inspector from the U.S. Postal Service, as guest speaker. The program will be held at 10 a.m. at the Fullerton Community Center, which is located at 340 W. Commonwealth Ave., west of Harbor Blvd., in Amerige Park.
The speaker will discuss the various methods of fraud, such as lottery and foreign lottery scams, charity and internet fraud, reshipping fraud, chain letters and other strategies. The program will also include a question-and-answer session. Informational materials will also be available to take home. Adult children of seniors are especially encouraged to attend and learn how to better protect their parents against crime.
The program is free, but reservations are requested and may be made by calling the center at (714) 738-6305. Persons requiring special accommodations to attend the program are asked to notify the center staff when making their reservations.
For information, contact Vickie Wiles at the Fullerton Community Center at (714) 738-3341.

Milwaukee RV & Camping Trailer Dealers Inc. - 8768 W. Fond du Lac Ave. - Milwaukee, WI 53225 - 414-463-7640 - email us : firstname.lastname@example.com |
We've received both kudos and criticism for the block style layouts of the Milwaukee RV and Camper Show. For some it is a convenient way to see what each dealer offers, while others find it confusing. We agree with those who criticize dealers who jam product into their area. A more open concept allows visitors to view each dealer's offering in it's entirety. The prevailing reasoning for the block display is the growing number of RVs that have slide out rooms on BOTH sides of the unit, sometimes increasing the width of the unit to fourteen feet. It's no longer feasible to arrange product into straight lines and hope to have wide enough traffic aisles to safely accommodate everyone. Interlocking slide outs, and mixing wide with narrow product in a display gives each dealer better control. We hope you will continue to offer your comments and feedback, and promise to give consideration to every one. Click on a dealer name below to be taken to their website: |
