Chapter 15 : 15- The Mind of a Minister
| Rating: Mature | Chapter Reviews: 2 |
Background: Font color:
All three Aurors had their wands out, pointing around the thick wood around them. Homenum Revelio Harry said, but nothing happened. Everything seems clear but stay on your guard. Harry, we need to call for backup. Fay said, not daring to take her focus off the wood.
And order them where? Naomi said also readying herself for a fight. Mundungus didnt tell us where we are and now hes made a run for it. And the two fell silent, obviously waiting for an order from Harry. Harry now had a choice. Go in and risk being ambushed or retreat and risk losing the chance to catch out another Death Eater. As Harry thought of this, another thought forced its way into his head. A Death Eater that could have inside knowledge of Lucius Malfoy. The impulse was too strong.
We go in, but stay alert. Harry ordered and the three of them started advancing on the house. As they opened the door, Harry once again used the Human Presence Charm and, again, nothing happened.
Lumos. The three of them chanted and light poured into the dark, musky house. The interior looked almost all destroyed. Boxes were overturned everywhere, spilling their contents onto the floor and as they moved forward, they found everything else was the same. Chairs and tables were broken, the couches had large slashed in them and blood was trickling down the wall.
Oh my... Naomi said looking around at the destroyed house.
Poor bastard must have put up one hell of a fight. Fay said, going into the kitchen, though Harry was far too focused on the blood that was splattered on the wall, blood that, in Harrys opinion, looked far too thick to be human.
Come on out, Boris. Harry said to the room. We know youre here. Naomi stared at Harry and, though nothing instantly happened, Harry heard something rub against the carpet. Naomi too seemed to have heard it and walked towards the only box that had not been overturned. Harry bent to open the box, his wand at the ready and when he opened it, he saw a bald, skinny face looking fearfully up at him with a pair of cloudy hazel eyes.
Alright you caught me, just make it quick and painless and- Hang on. The bald headed man said in a nasally voice, staring at the scar on Harrys forehead and he pulled himself out of the box. So, what do you lot want then? He said as Fay came in to investigate the commotion. And how did you know I wasnt dead?
Salamander blood. Harry said indicating his head towards the blood on the wall. He knew this old hiding trick all too well, though he had to admit, Slughorns Dragon blood looked far more convincing. How did you know we were coming?
Naomi asked looking around the place. This must have taken you ages to do.
Most of it was already done when you got here. Boris explained, repairing a couch and sitting on it. But I guessed the Dark Mark would keep people distracted while I hid myself.
Expecting company Boris? Harry added also looking around the destroyed interior.
Oh, like you would be here if you didnt know. He said, rubbing his eyes. The real ones are upstairs in a safe. There are protective enchantments around them.
Were not here for that. Harry said, his wand still out. Though we will deal with them later. Were taking you to the Ministry for questioning, well tell you more when we get there.
Boris looked around at his destroyed house and then turned to Harry and said, weakly Fine, but I want protection.
Harry was not surprised by this. It was obvious that Boris knew full well what his customers were capable of. Who are they? Harry asked.
I cant give you names. Boris replied looking more nervous by the minute. Not real ones anyway but I think I can give you good enough descriptions. Harry felt slightly disappointed by this. If the Ministry archive had been tampered with, then descriptions would be of much less value then they used to be.
Fine, Harry said. Well arrange a safe house for you. At this, Boris seemed a little more reassured, stood up and indicated the way out.
Within five minutes, they were back at the Ministry. Harry had sent Boris off with Fay and Naomi to an Interrogation room and when Harry returned to his office, he found Kingsley, sitting at Harrys desk looking into the Pensive sitting in the centre of the desk.
Excuse me, Harry. Kingsley said still staring into the Pensive. But when Percy informed me that the Ministry files had been tampered with, I had to talk to you. Harry took the seat opposite Kingsley as he continued One of our Heads of Departments must have turned against us, whether due to an Imperius Curse or of their own free will, I do not know but they are the only ones with access to the archive with the exception of myself and Percy, though I highly doubt that Mr Weasley would turn against us that easily.
Harry felt uncomfortable at this. The thought of one of the Ministrys heads turning on them was a terrifying thought. We have checked the Glass Viewers that are placed around the archives and they seemed to have been Confunded, even more efficiently than those at Malfoy Manor. We need to figure out who the mole is, Harry and I ask you to think very carefully about who you ask to help you, we do not know how many informants this mole could have. Although, Mrs Hermione Weasley has offered her assistance to me and I have confided the situation to her. Harry nodded, already trying to think of a plan.
I got your message about the Amethyst Orb and have followed your idea of letting George figure out a solution and have temporarily employed him to the Department of Dangerous Magical Artefacts, I thought it would speed up the process if he had help. Again Harry nodded but Kingsley then said, a little gravely I also think that, with the help of Percy, I have found the identity of the man who escaped at the Quidditch match.
Harrys mind stopped thinking and his attention was now completely on Kingsley, who was indicating the Pensive. If you would, please.
The two looked into the Pensive and before Harry knew it, he was beside a slightly younger version of Kingsley who was running, faster than Harry had ever seen him, down a narrowing street. When Harry looked, he saw that he was been chased by a group of black cloaked men, the two of which that had masks on seemed to be leading them.
Stop him! Cried the larger of the two masked men and jets of light flew past Kingsley as he ducked to avoid them. Kingsley turned a corner and after running for a few more steps, came to a halt at a dead end.
Well, well. Sneered the smaller of the two masked men as he panted. It seems youve got nowhere else to run, Shacklebolt. Though Ill hand it to you, you sure made us work for this one. As the man said this, both he and his larger partner took off their masks and Harry recognised Walden Macnair and Augustus Rookwood, both of whom were now in Azkaban after been captured at the Battle of Hogwarts.
The entire group had their wands pointed at Kingsley. Harry counted seven of them in total and saw, to the right of Rookwood, the muscular, dark haired man that had escaped the Quidditch attack. When Harry turned back to look at Kingsley, Harry was shocked to see that Kingsley did not only look tired but he had a defeated look on him that Harry had never seen on Kingsley before.
So this is what the great Auror Shacklebolt has been brought to? The new leader of the Order of the Phoenix has been turned into a pathetic wreck. Rookwood said harshly, taking aim with his wand.
Remember, Pius and Yaxley want to question him personally- The muscular man started but Rookwood cut across him.
Well Im sure they wouldnt mind if he was accidently killed in a fight. I dont know about you, Elfrin but I prefer to kill those who have the intention of killing me. But before Rookwood could cast his curse, Harry, whose heart had skipped a beat at the Death Eaters name, heard Kingsley pant out the word How?
What was that? Rookwood said mockingly.
How did you find me? Kingsley asked again and Rookwood laughed insanely.
Well, who am I to refuse a dead mans request? Lets just say you should have showed the Dark Lord a bit more respect, especially the inexcusable use of His name. At this, Kingsleys entire expression changed to one of realisation and, before any of the Death Eaters could do anything, Kingsley swiped the air with his wand and pointed at the wall. It exploded with the force of a bomb that knocked the Death Eaters and their cronies to the ground and Harry saw the shadowy outline of Kingsley sprint through the dust, stunning those that tried to get back up and run past the Death Eaters, out of sight.
Before the dust could settle, Harry found himself rise out of the Pensive as the memory came to a close. Mosby Elfrin. Kingsley said, still looking down into the Pensive. He was a Law Enforcer who made his way up the ranks by imprisoning Muggle-borns and going after members of the Order if they fell for the Taboo. Percy did some research and his files gone too.
So the files of everyone who we know to be a part of the Death Eaters are gone? Harry asked and Kingsley nodded.
I have informed the other Ministries of the Confederation to check their own archives and have alerted them to the threat that we are aware of. They wish to meet with me for more information. Harry stared at Kingsley.
The entire Confederation? Kingsley nodded.
A hand full of the Ministers feel that they too might have information concerning this and I will be organising this meeting, again, with the help of Percy and Hermione and I will be keeping you up to date with it so you can arrange security. And as Kingsley made to leave he said finally, not looking at Harry Youre doing a good job. And, leaving Harry speechless, he closed the door behind him.
When Harry finally recovered from Kingsleys compliment, he turned to sit at his desk. He needed to sort out a safe house for Boris. But as he sat down, he realised that, on top of Lucius open file, was another closed file with Aberthol Evens printed across it in slanted black letters. There was a note stuck to the cover of the file and written on it were the words Hope this helps in Rons handwriting. Harry opened the file and began to read.
Aberthol Edward Evens.
Born: Twelfth, January, Nineteen-Thirty to Edward Samuel Evans (Deceased) and Sian Elizabeth Evens (Née Davies) in Portmeirion Village, Wales.
Died: Twenty-Second, August, Two Thousand and Six.
Cause of Death: Killed by the Killing Curse cast by the Death Eater, Edmund Selwyn (Still at large).
Marital Status: Married to Deborah Sophie Evans (née Dale).
Children: None
Residence: Number Fifteen, Eastway Close, Portmeirion Village, Wales.
Occupation: Wand Maker. *Note: Was mentoring Felicia Hamnet (Deceased) in Wand Making and Wand Law.
Felicia Hamnet. Harry murmured to himself. Bailey had called the girl who had turned herself into Emily, Felicia. Was she Emilys murderer? And as pure hatred for the woman hit Harry, Naomi walked in holding a couple of pieces of parchment and saying Weve been able to get these images from Boris. She placed the parchment on Harrys desk and seemed to have seen the anger on his face as she asked You okay?
Harry handed Aberthols file to Naomi and said I think Ive found Emilys killer. Felicia Hamnet. She was the one who imitated Emily at the Quidditch match. As Naomi took the file, her hands shaking slightly, Harry picked up the pieces of parchment. There were three pencil sketches which, like most wizarding pictures, moved in their frame. Two of the pictures were of Selwyn and Bailey, the third was of a woman with pale skin, vivid high cheekbones and her hair, though it was straight at the top of her head, got curlier the further down her face it got.
Do you think this could be her? Naomi asked and Harry could tell that she was trying to keep her voice calm.
I believe so. Harry replied now looking at Aberthols file that Naomi had put down. But we can find out for certain.
How? Naomi asked. She was rubbing the bandage rapped round her head.
Both Aberthols wife and mother are still alive, surely one of them must have met or seen Felicia.
Naomi picked up the picture of the girl and looked Harry squarely in the eye and said Let me go. Let me go and find out. Naomi then picked up Aberthols file and said His address is right here. How hard could it be really be?
Harry gave a slight smile to Naomi and said Of course you can go but take Fay with you, if the Death Eaters even get a whiff of the fact that were finding out their identities, theyre going to attack. Naomi nodded, placing the piece of parchment and file in the inside of her robe.
Thank you. Naomi said but before she could leave, Ron entered, Anthony Goldstein and Terry Boot walking just behind him.
We think weve figured out how they broke into Emilys house. Ron said, looking as though he had just lost a fight. We think they got in through her fireplace via the Floo network, Ive asked Lucy to find out where they might have used it from. Harrys heart seemed to stop. Naomi too was no longer leaving. If they had broken into Emilys house by using the Floo network, was it possible that the Death Eater spy was in that Department, or to be more specific to who they were hunting for, Head of the Department?
You need to bring Lucy down here. Harry ordered and Ron starred at Harry.
What? Ron said as Harry looked at each individual in the room. He trusted Terry and Anthony, both of them had been D.A members and had proven themselves multiple times to be faithful Aurors and Naomi, though still a junior rank Auror, had more than earned Harrys trust.
Okay, listen. And Harry told them about there being a mole within the ranks of the Ministrys Heads of Departments.
And you think Lucys the snitch? Terry asked angrily.
It makes sense. Harry reasoned. Shes a Head of Department so she has access to the Ministry archives and shes Head of Magical Transportation so it would have been only too easy for her to link Emilys fireplace to a Death Eaters.
There was a moments silence before Ron said finally Well get her.

You're single. And quite frankly, gadgets can't give you all the love you need this Valentine's Day. So here are the best dating apps to help you get lucky. Or at least have fun trying. Our criteria? Fun, easy to use, and mostly free.
1. Tinder: Swipe, favourable thumb
Tinder has taken the world by storm. If you're 'in the market' and haven't heard of it, you're definitely not looking hard enough.
Load it up, let it work out your location and shazam - a load of snapshots to flick through. Swipe left if you're not interested, and right if you are. Talk about judging a book by its cover. But at least you can view more pictures and see their interests and shared mates if they've logged in with Facebook. That makes you feel a touch less shallow - until you start swiping again.
Then you wait. And wait. And if you're not very successful like us, wait a little longer. Because you can only start chatting when someone you like also swipes you to the right. We nearly gave up, but bagged a few matches and are currently flirting like there's no tomorrow.
Extra costs: Your pride when it turns out nobody likes you
Pros: Easy to setup and use // heaps of fun // mostly genuine users // good banter
Cons: Limited profile deets // being silenced until someone matches you back
Get it here for iOS and here for Android
More after the break...

Given the images, it's difficult to ID. The terminal leaf is perhaps too big to be bitternut, but the nuts are too small to be shagbark. Pignut maybe. |
Looks like pignut, C.glabra, to me, too. |
So then it must have been driving you pig-nuts, rather than just nuts. |

Reliance Holdings USA Inc, which is the wholly owned subsidiary of RIL, has been able to raise $1 billion through an issue of bonds, a move that will encourage more Indian firms to follow the route to raise funds through global issue of bonds.
Reliance Industries said in a note that its subsidiary has raised $1 billion by selling 10-year dollar-denominated debt. The move is the largest overseas bond sale by an Indian company in nine months.
Reliance Holdings sold 5.4% senior, unsecured notes maturing in February 2022 at more than 345 basis points higher compared to similar securities. The company will use the funds raised to fund its ongoing capital expenditure, to make new investments and reduce its debt burden.
"The Notes have been priced at 345 basis points over the 10-year US Treasury Note, at a price of 99.481% to yield 5.468%," it said. The issue was over-subscribed nearly 8 times with an order book aggregating $7.8 billion.
Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, Citigroup Global Markets Inc, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and UBS AG were the joint book-runners and lead managers for the bonds issue.

His Distant Star [Loki x Reader] PrologueIt had all happened so very quickly.In one all too lucid and agonizing moment, the six year old ____ was lying broken and bloodied on her kitchen floor. Her aged gaze was dulled, with no glimmer of hope like any other child her age would have. Comforting lullabies and the loving warmth of a family was replaced by unreliable meals, the constant roar of an argument and the cold, unfeeling fists that pounded her into the lifeless shell she had become. Why can't it all just go away?Why can't I just go away?I want to leave.I hate it here.POP. And then, in another far more fragile, dream like moment, the six year old ____ was lying on a bed of crimson spider lilies. Crumpled beneath her, the feather touch of their petals was soothing, ghostly. Not tangible enough for her to believe she was no longer in that wretched place. Her sole comfort was the heavy sile

Jarvis? Can you make us some breakfast?" "Certainly Alexis." I sat down as the kitchen whirred to life, following Jarvis' unspoken orders. Me and Clint chatted about The Avengers training. He was teaching me how to use a bow and arrow and I was getting better. We trained together a lot and we had become good partners. I was also good partners with Natasha and Tony.A couple of seconds later, Tony appeared in the kitchen, "Mm smells good." I looked at him, a smile indicating I wasn't being rude, "Then get Jarvis to make you some." He smiled back, the twinkle in his eyes telling me he could do this all day, "Why would I get Jarvis to do it when you could do...so much more." I rolled my eyes, trying to hide the ever so faint blush on my cheeks. I finished my breakfast, put my plate in the sink and walked towards the door, "I

Fall 2011 Paris Fashion Week: Elie Saab 2011-03-09 15:31:40
2011 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Elie Saab
2011 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Elie Saab
Elie Saab, a favorite of high-wattage celebs like Halle Berry, showed a polished collection of daywear before wowing us with his evening dresses. It seemed designed to appeal to a wide variety of ladies — there were skinny pants and tunics for the minimalist, peplum jackets for the retro feminine gal, and draped jersey cocktail dresses for the '70s fan. Even the colors were varied; rather than sticking to a neutral palette or all jewel tones, he balanced it out. The evening dresses were sleek, cut close to the body with draping and ruching, and the red-carpet looks were delivered beaded, and even some with thigh-high slits up the leg. Overall it was a crowd-pleaser, full of pretty clothes for pretty women.
- Trends: Ladylike polish, peplum, minimalism.
- Colors: Siren red, neutrals, burgundy, black, nude.
- Key Looks: The sparkly beaded evening gowns.
- Accessories: Belts on dresses, cool minimalist cuff neck pieces.
- Who Would Wear It: Women with red-carpet obligations.

To the Editor:
You know, I'm getting awful sick of John Sakowicz's tiresome nattering; his ongoing jihad against KZYX, seems to consist entirely of a bunch of picayune technical complaints with our fine public radio station, but what it obviously is about must be his male ego/pissing contest with the station's general manager, John Coate, who has performed heroically in saving the station from the ruinous financial position than it was in when he arrived.
If he were just another unhinged crank voicing his displeasure with the station in any and all available venues, he could simply be ignored the way various other unbalanced obsessives have been over the years, but Mr.Sakowicz is able to do real damage to this precious, struggling cultural asset; requiring the station to waste scarce fiscal resources on lawyers defending the station from his pointless but damaging attacks.
What blows my mind, after all his criticism of the station's leadership, is that Mr.Sakowicz still has a program on the air! It says an awful lot about how open they are to criticism that they permit this destructive antagonist to stay on the station's airwaves, even as he constantly bashes KZYX leadership for being not open to criticism!
As annoying and counterproductive as I find Mr. Sakowicz's sniping at our county's essential listener supported cultural institution, I was absolutely floored by his recent letter to the editor; a screed against the recently rescued POW, Bowe Bergdahl.
Given all of this, I really don't see why Mr. Sakowicz would ever want to darken the doorway of the KZYX studio, much less be welcome to. Though I have enjoyed his 'All about the Money' program in the past, at this point I would find it hard to take anything he has to say seriously.

I really, really, really, really, really miss you and Charon. You two were the most awesome cats.
Taken by Elizabeth Clanton on Sunday June 12, 2012. I found the gallery buried on her Facebook wall. I choked up, and almost cried some very happy as these are almost the only photographs of Caira, Garrett and I together, because I chronically hide behind the camera. I've rearranged the photos into roughly chronological order.
In the garden
These next photographs were in the same gallery, and while they aren't of Father's Day, they are pretty good photographs of the view from my kitchen in Cliffoney, if I ever feel the need to brag about it:
Mum is sick, tired, in constant pain from arthritis, and I don't think I care at all. I love her-she's my mother and I her son-but I don't like her. Mum's been an unflagging negative in my life: First she passively put up with dad's abuse, then she tenaciously apologized for him after he died, has constantly put me down and dismissed anything I have to say, has never been any more than lukewarm toward Caira and Garrett, and pretty much met my breakdown and depression with a staunch suggestion that it'll all go away if I just get a job.
Mum's drilled her own flavour of learned helplessness into me, and when I see her in pain, I just can't bring myself to feel moved.
Frank's Frank: Out of sight and beyond hearing; Jennifer worries about me (I think), but leaves me be; Ella adores me; and Oisin weeps piteously if he sees me.
Turgid descriptions of my raunchy sex life aside, better? I'm behind on all of my bills, I plan to send off Caira's birthday present first thing tomorrow morning, my sleep pattern is nocturnal, I'm tired of being fat, my back has mended, my bad right arm has almost mended.
I'm over the worst of my breakdown, and the lasting depression, but my self-confidence and interest in a partner are zero, and I run off to escape in one or another virtual world when feelings threaten to come knocking at my door. I feel terribly alone all of the time, but I just don't want the burden (or to be the burden) of company. Nicole found a boyfriend and a job, and dropped off the radar almost completely and immediately, and Jenny's busy as a mother of two. That's about it so far as close friends go. There's a great, casual crowd at 091 Labs, but they aren't really the group I want to open myself up to. I'm an abusive child-beater.
I'm poor, underwater in bills (~€700) as of this post, and in search of somewhere new to live, in Galway or wherever. Ostensibly, I'm not supposed to receive a VEC grant for a repeat year in college; ostensibly, I can apply for an exemption to this rule on the grounds of illness (breakdown); ostensibly the VEC is leery of providing this to me; and ostensibly the staff at IT Sligo have scattered to the four winds for the summer.
Do I continue in college? I hated Sligo. The county is gloriously beautiful, but there are no amenities there, no friends, no refuge of geekery like in Galway, and nowhere to really go or see as a pedestrian. And, of course, the last two years have tainted it for me. Too many bad memories are locked up there, and as always, I am running, running, running away.
On the other hand, it's college, learning, and a chance to better myself, and prove to myself I'm not worthless. On the other other hand, there's a huge gap in age and experience between the other students and I; I'm a decade older, and really don't have much in common.
I don't know what I really want to do. I am dogged by my many failures: That time I lost my temper at Mariah in Penneys, and the staff quietly asked her if they wanted me to call the police; or the time I hit Mariah and she did call the police; or the time I hit Caira and Mariah called the police, again. Or that time I tried to leave her in the middle of the night and return to Ireland, while she was pregnant.
I could list everything, probably, but it's safe to say I've been a pretty horrible person to Mariah and my two kids on a regular basis. I know I've spoken here before about how I just want Caira and Garrett gone from my life, or how I want them in my life after all. Truth be told I don't know what I want. There's no question of Mariah and I staying apart, because children shouldn't see their parents try to kill each other on a daily basis, but I don't know whether I want to be there.
I could procrastinate my way out of a decision, for sure. As of today, I've been in Garrett's life for eight months out of his almost four years, and Caira's for three-and-a-bit of seven. From what little I've heard of her, Caira hates me. Garrett misses me, but he's perfectly happy without me. I just don't know. I want it, and push it away when I get it.
Mariah's opened up a bit more to me since ~April, and passed on both photographs and nuggets of information, but not much, and not about any topic I don't ask about. It's frustrating trying to dig into a topic when often enough Mariah won't even answer the question unless I directly ask and then repeat it when she tries to dodge or ignore it.
I don't know if I really love the kids, when I'm able to abstract what I feel about them. Shouldn't it encompass everything I think or do, if I really feel love? Answers on the back of a postcard to my home address.
I've sunk myself into virtual worlds and escapist fantasies since last September. There was World of Warcraft (a lot of it), fantasy, novels, and the Internet as a whole to run off into while I had my breakdown. It was great. Brilliant. I need to stop now, and get back in line with the real world.
My WoW subscription runs out today, and I'm going to let it lie for a while. I'm back in Galway for a few days, to get some design and coding work done on Bigworldia. I might even have found a place to stay down here for the summer. Yay. Tomorrow I go to the doctor's office and apply to change my G.P. to our family doctor. Something something Mark something something happy pills.
The last year of college is a complete writeoff; I never went in, I didn't sit any exams, and I barely even read any of the emails the campus and lecturers sent out. I in no way believe I am going to able to sit any repeat examination come July and August. I am instead just going to go repeat the year in September.
I've still had no contact with the children, or with Mariah, since she refused me access to them. It it something I have the means to fight, so I've made the choice to let it all go for now. Pack up the photographs, put them away, let it lie, and hope that one or the other decides to contact me when they're older. I can't get a divorce in Ireland until August 2017, which I plan to do the moment that month rolls around.
Bigworldia, as it stands, is now running in Monogame, on Linux. XNA was killed off by Microsoft, but Monogame has an active and passionate development community. I'm going to roll with this for the summer and see where I go. :D
Nothing exciting. Move along home.
Vlastik has been quietly encouraging me to get away from Sligo for some time. He was one of the first people I spoke to after my breakdown, and he has been sympathetically pushing me to get out of Sligo and into company. As I admitted elsewhere, I badly needed a support network to help me stand again, and I completely destroyed mine as a reaction to my self-hate.
I was originally going to take a trip down to Aafke's on Saturday, but I had vivid aural hallucinations, and I was reluctantly forced to postpone the trip. I mean, literally, I had been awake for four days straight, and I a quiet voice repeated my name over, and over, and over. It was (heh) maddening. I let Aafke know this, took a sleeping pill and fell unconscious for a good ten hours.
Aafke (very) generously came up to Sligo on Sunday, and took me up around the Sligo and Donegal coasts as far as the gorgeous St. John's Point in Co. Donegal. It was absolutely fantastic to get out of the house, out of Sligo, and into the company of a photographer and good friend. I relaxed, spoke and, took a great many photographs with my shiny new phone after a breakfast in Drumcliff, where I ordered a grilled chese sandwich that the staff wouldn't allow me to call a grilled cheese sandwich. No, really-there was a 'grilled cheese toastie' available, an object which, by any other name, is called a grilled cheese sandwich. Two slices of bread, and two slices of cheese cost four bloody euro. I feel bad that Aafke successfully browbeat me into allowing her to pay for it.
Words Were Spoken over brunch; Aafke delved into grief, and surprised me with how her struggle is similar to mine. I spoke at length to someone, I believe for the first time, exactly what went on in the breakdown, and what I battle on a daily basis. This isn't the post in which to detail it.
I kicked Yeats's grave on the way into the cafe on behalf of all the Leaving Certificate students on the island of Ireland. O you who suffer, I do not forget you in my prayers.
After this, I brought Aafke down to the wide wedge of land cornered by Drumcliffe and Grange: Lissadell. It was gorgeous. Gorgeous.
I'm a little sad that I never managed to bring Garrett or Caira down there on a fine day, but with no car it was simply out of reach. But I'm not too sad! The entire coast, all the way from Grange up to and past Killybegs is absolutely, astoundingly beautiful. If you ever do one drive in Ireland, drive from Sligo up to Killybegs; you will not regret it.
Aafke and I wound up at the desolate, beautiful (and pointy) Saint John's Point after a drive around the bay. I had never in my life been past Donegal town, and on both occasions that I've travelled as far as Donegal town, it was very foggy. I was left with this weird notion that Donegal is a land of mist and fog.
And after that, back home to Sligo!
Some of these images overlap with an earlier post; apologies!

I feel strongly that so many emotionally immature and unaffirmed persons are marrying for the wrong reason. They should truly feel and know their God-given, intrinsic value before marrying. How can one accept true love from a spouse if they don't understand their own worth?
I'm told Tribunals take all this into account.
Two great books on the subject: Feeling and Healing Your Emotions and Healing the Unaffirmed, both by Dr. Conrad Baars, M.D. expound on this.
One other example I heard, dealing with annulments: Mr. Jones sells a home to you. Upon moving in, you find severe and intentional lack of disclosure regarding the history of the home and its issues. The Seller's Disclosure stated 'no' when the truth was 'yes'. False pretense.
Another example: Mr. Jones sells you a home and then you find out he has dementia and cannot understand or know what he is doing. He was not in good mental health to conduct such a transaction. Incapacity to enter a marriage.
Both of these demonstrate problems with the marriage at the time of the vows; no one would argue, the house sale is null and void. It never happened.
These are a few of the grounds for annulment.

California energy efficiency solutions
We advance energy efficiency to help the state meet its emissions target
Energy efficiency is considered to be the easiest, fastest and most cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
California has made a name for itself by keeping per capita electricity consumption flat for the last 30 years while its population grew and demand for energy increased. Energy efficiency standards enacted in the 1970s have made important contributions to this trend.
California still needs to do much more on the energy efficiency front to meet the emissions reductions goals set forth in AB 32.
Finding efficiency solutions for California
EDF champions policies and legislation to reduce electricity use. Our advocacy work includes:
Proposing and studying ways that communities can reap economic benefits from reducing global warming emissions.
EDF and San Francisco Community Power conducted the Climate for Community pilot program to identify ways that households and small businesses can be more efficient and conserve energy, water and fuel. These activities lead to reduced emissions and lower monthly bills.
The program explored how community reductions can be combined, verified and sold as credits under the cap-and-trade program that California is establishing to meet statewide reduction targets. The program demonstrated that communities can benefit economically and help clean their environment by participating in the fight against global warming pollution.
Supporting strong state green building standards through stakeholder input.
Greener buildings are featured in the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Scoping Plan as a way to help meet AB 32 targets.
Though California's Buildings Standards Commission (BSC) has developed statewide green building standards, the law failed to clarify which agencies that should be involved or show how standards fit into building code development practices. EDF co-sponsored a bill that would require the BSC to consult with key agencies such as CARB and to work closely with environmental and other stakeholders. The bill inspired the BSC to adopt regulations that clearly lay out broad stakeholder engagement, providing an example for other states to follow.
Proposing better compliance with the California Building Standards Code (Title 24).
Only 70% of new buildings comply with mandatory standards—leaving 30% of greenhouse gas emission reduction opportunities on the table.
Our advocacy helped ensure that green building worker training programs funded with federal stimulus dollars include training on Title 24 to improve statewide compliance. By receiving Title 24 training, workers obtain basic building skills and learn the foundation for advanced energy efficiency and green building techniques.
Educating municipalities about incentives for local jurisdictions to participate in green building training programs.
Local buy-in is likely to increase the number of green buildings and energy efficiency compliance at the regional level.
Supporting the nation's first energy efficiency standards for televisions.
TVs account for 10% of household electricity use and their energy consumption rate has been increasing 8% annually. In late 2009, the California Energy Commission approved energy efficiency standards for big screen TVs that will save consumers money, cut energy use and reduce global warming pollution.

Gear Review
Love it
Won this snowboard at a video premier this year in October - the 159. I had purchased a T.Rice 161.5 in September, so I thought I wouldn't be using the Man's Boards much. Colorado's early season hasn't been anything great so I decided to try it out. Love this board. Incredibly light, super poppy, does well in every area. Build for speed and jumps. Now I have two boards that I love... rough life.

text: Social Goats are trending, the Harlem Shake is done, and YouTube is now embedded in Google Trends March 20, 2013 4:28 PM John Koetsier Google announced today that YouTube searches are now going to be part of Google Trends, which means we can now learn all kinds of useless but oh-so-interesting information. Such as the fact that goats — yes goats — were the top trending animal on YouTube this month, beating out the ever-popular cats and dogs. And that Rebecca Black searches spike every week on the day after Thursday and before Saturday. Essentially, what Google has done is added YouTube to the Trends interface. Searchers can now keep their trend searches web-wide, or limit them to Images, News, Products, and now YouTube. Given that YouTube is a bigger online video destination than perhaps all its competitors combined, including Facebook, Yahoo, and VEVO, you're getting a massive slice of the online video-watching data when selecting YouTube as a source. While it's true that there's a lot of useless data and noise in Trends, there is, however, some degree of hope in this news: Harlem Shake, as a phenomenon, may be starting to lose steam: One real challenge with Google Trends is that it only presents data in a relative way. So, for instance, the chart above doesn't say anything at all about the absolute number of Harlem Shake searches — beyond that fact that there were enough to chart — it simply reveals trends over time. That makes it tough to compare countries, for instance, since it's unclear whether Brazilians care much about the Harlem Shake or not compared to Americans. Oh and those goats? If you're as lame and oblivious to popular culture as me, you'll have no clue what that's all about. This will give you a clue, and probably a few minutes amusement: VentureBeat is studying social media marketing. Chime in, and we'll share the data with you.

A KSU circular on home fruit tree spraying states under Fruit Pesticide Mixtures, ' do not apply a liquid concentrate within 2 weeks of a Captan app. because the oil (s) in the liquid'....you know the rest. Immunox obviously doesn't have the oils issue that other liquids do. Furthermore, is stated it is ok to combine liquid formulations, ok to combine WPs but not WPs with liquids as the combination can cause fruit and foliage burn. Seems like an awfully broad statement about the WP/iiquids combo.. Seems to me, all of the homeowner insecticides are liquids, can't combine them with Captan? Don't those all - in - one sprays formulations have Captan + an insecticide? Oh well, that's my 2 cents worth on an empty stomach:) |

In UP's last lap, Mayawati puts up tough fight against BJP
With 33 seats in Uttar Pradesh yet to vote, it is the BSP which is emerging as the strongest contender in the remaining two phases, with the potential to stop the BJP from sweeping the state.
While Mayawati continues to retain her Dalit support base, as is evident from her well- attended rallies, the Muslims have also started looking at the BSP, rather than the Congress or the SP, as a more formidable opponent against the BJP in more than a dozen constituencies. Meanwhile, the BSP's Brahmin candidates are cutting into the BJP's upper-caste vote bank in many areas.
However, BSP voters are not very vocal and, more often than not, even join the more dominant voice in favour of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. This may give the others false hope, but below the surface, they remain Mayawati supporters.
This was best reflected by a group of young Dalits at a paan shop in Ayodhya. "Modi ki hawa hai," was their stock response at first, adding that the SP or Congress would put up a fight in Faizabad. But minutes later, they underlined their support to the BSP. They said people were fed up with the SP regime.
Such sentiments are common. "No one will acknowledge our vote even if we vote for anyone other than the elephant (BSP's symbol)," said some Dalits. Others said they would vote "according to the way other villagers vote".
A confident Mayawati is seeking to leverage this consolidation to her advantage in the 33 seats, of which her party won 10 in the last elections — Phulpur, Ambedkar Nagar, Basti, Sant Kabir Nagar, Bhadohi, Deoria, Lalganj, Ghosi, Salempur, Jaunpur.
While the Congress held 10 of the 33 seats in the outgoing Lok Sabha, its stock has taken a dip this time. The BSP seems to have emerged as the prime contender against the BJP in Shrawasti, Maharajganj and Domariaganj (all Congress seats) and in the SP-held Chandauli constituency. The BSP has ensured a triangular contest in almost all other constituencies.
The palpable disgruntlement against the incumbent Akhilesh Yadav-led SP government in the state and memories of a better law and order situation during Mayawati's regime has helped the BSP.
Unlike the high-pitched speeches of her opponents, Mayawati, at her public meetings, has followed a set pattern — rallying her core Dalit support base, wooing minorities, drawing attention to her attempt to cobble a social alliance to challenge the BJP by fielding 21 Brahmin candidates to win upper-caste voters.
"When Jagdambika Pal was the candidate, I voted for the Congress. But I will vote for the BSP now. I do not want communal discord," said Ram Avatar Pasi, a voter in Domariyaganj constituency.
The anti-incumbency factor against the SP has left the minorities wondering whether they should cast their lot with the party or BSP. "Muslims appeared divided between the Congress and SP, but now everyone has continued…

I posted this on a muddled thread earlier, but decided I wanted feedback from local people....so...here it is. You know those houses that for years and years you've driven by, and were always a pleasure to see the beautiful beds, eve if they were the normal pass along plants? I've noticed in recent (year?) a couple that have started decline, and I was wanting to ask others opinion of a course of action. My expectation is that either the house has sold or the little old lady is running out of steam. Would it be hurtful to stop and inquire if the house has changed hands and if not, explain that you've admired the beds for years as you drove by, and would simply like to stop and thank the person who maintained them? Or would this be hurtful to someone who may not be able to maintain them now ? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If the little old lady is still there she would love it. If a new person is there try not to say how bad it looks. What ever is in my head comes out my mouth, but your intensions are good so I don't see how bad can come of it. |
dbarron, what are you trying to accomplish by doing that? Are you going to offer to take care of it for them? Just curious what your end plan is. |
No plan, I would just like to say thanks for providing beauty that hopefully a lot of people have enjoyed over the years. I suspect that pitfully few people ever thank gardeners. I've certainly enjoyed it when a few random folks have stopped by and said they admired my yard for years. |
I guess I am confused. So, you are going to thank them for how they used to look. How are you going to tactfully tell them their property has deteriorated without insulting them. I don't get what you are trying to accomplish. |
And *that* is why I'm asking people's opinion. I still think it's worthwhile to say that I've really appreciated their efforts... I figure they absolutely know that and will probably say something along the lines of 'I just can't do it anymore'. I can finish off with 'I just wanted to let you know someone appreciated it enough to say so.' I did want to ask *this* group if they thought this would be positive, are you saying no ? |
dbbarron, I do think you want to do something positive, I honestly do. Personally, I think you will come off offending or embarrassing someone you don't even know. Just my opinion. |
Ooops. Duplicate post somehow. |

Just do an online search at your county auditor's website. Most list the owner's name and the sale history of the property. |
Speaking as an older gardening lady who doesn't do nearly as well as in years past, I would be embarrassed by someone stopping by and saying in essence they used to enjoy my gardens.....you know that old adage tell someone how much they mean (or their gardens) before they die (or get too darned old to keep it up!). Tell people now how much you enjoy their gardens now. I know I am very conscious that I don't keep my yard like I used to and I can't even find someone to pay to help me! |
I used to drive by a cottage type garden every day (this was years ago when I worked). There was a plant blooming I was interested in and stopped once to ask what it was. The owner was an old lady and I came away with a bag of pass-a-long plants. Later I saw many vehicles parked around and the garden declined. I knew the old lady had died or moved to live somewhere else. I am glad I stopped when I did. She enjoyed giving me the starts of plants and meeting a young person who was admiring her garden. So yes stop when you admire a garden and complement the gardener and don't wait until the garden has declined. I still think a tactful person could find something to admire in a declining garden and the gardener may appreciate the fact that you have been admiring their garden for years. I tend to put my foot in my mouth but I do have the ability to pick out a beautiful or interesting plant among the weeds. When you stop at Glenda's house tell her you love the cottage garden look and admire her petunias. |

Just my 2c worth. I know dbarron and I find it highly unlikely he would say something insensitive or thoughtless to the owner. This is not a complaint issue, its a fellow gardener who has an appreciation for years of seeing another gardeners work and also a concern. Good things can come from people enquiring, ignoring things is a guarantee nothing will come of anything. How many lonely people are ignored? You never know unless you ask. I seriously doubt if an elderly lady came to the door he would muff it by her asking if the ownership had changed hands. Now if a young person answers the door, that would be different and the question would be fine. These things usually play themselves out appropriately once more facts become obvious. Asking the neighbors is also an option I am sure he has thought of. The fact that barron is asking for input shows sensitivity that this has a potential for coming across wrong so tact is definitely a prime issue and concern for him. Thats how I read this. So whats this business about a thread thats muddled?? You know me, always going sideways and off topic. Truth is, the discussion about the nursery's is far more conducive to back and forthing with interesting comments than the single plant. I mean, how much can you say about that? 2 choices. Yea, I like it. Nah I hate it. (I'm joking) |

hope you dont mind i am not in the ozarks ... i have often knocked on a door.. to tell someone i admired their gardens ... and there is one in particular.. where the couple has to be in their mid 80s ... i have to tell you... i made their day ... i told them i didnt care about weeds... lack of care.. etc ... i told them mine looked worse ... they held more knowledge.. in the dirt under their nails.. than i will ever have.. and were completely thrilled to have a 'young' person to talk to about it all .. i highly recommend you knock or drop a note.. and make someones day ... they even made me sit down and have some ice cream with them ... such a different generation ... ken ps: they also invited me back.. and filled my trunk with pieces of this and that.. in their day.. you shared plants ... |
I would be stopping to ask for seeds and cuttings. By admiring their gardens and beds, and telling them how lovely they are, you are perpetuating their beauty. I, for one, would be thankful. All you have to say is that you admire them. If you want to propagate them, you are passing it on to other generations. Cheri |

Here is a reverse situation. One day I was up front weeding and a couple of very frail but feisty looking grey haired ladies who looked like they were in their mid 80's stopped the car to chat. They could have easily been my grandma, Aunt Esther or Aunt Blanche and in fact reminded me so much of them that this alone would have been the ingredients for a great day. Flowered dresses and all. They told me they often drove by to look at my garden and loved the flowers and prairie landscape with the native grasses because it reminded them of home and the old days when everyone was out working in their gardens and how they missed gardening themselves so they regularly drove past my house on their errand runs since it was like a visit to the past and nostalgic for them. They were completely delightful ladies and it made me feel indescribably good. I almost felt like my aunts and grandma had visited, these ladies were so similar to them in the way they talked. They talked about how people didn't seem to be interested anymore in gardens and how sad they thought that was. I am a long way from being young and could only be considered young in comparison to these ladies since such things are relative but they said they were glad that some young people still did this. I am only one generation close behind them. Another thing that made this nice is my garden is intentionally a reflection of my childhood spent in rural Oklahoma even though I am stuck in an urban area close to downtown so I was happy that these women recognized that. |

Part 2
Happy Birthday
Seven years passed, since that fateful night at the hospital. Young Damien grew into a sweet, obedient, child, raised on his family's estate just outside of Washington, DC.
Today – Damien's seventh birthday – the young boy played party games among senator's and diplomat's children, while his parents held a huge party in their massive garden. There were clowns, jugglers, ponies, a carousel, a mini ferris wheel and a cake so large, the birthday boy could roll in it. But he knew it wasn't for him. His father wanted money to go live in a big white house in Pennsylvania – or something dumb like that – so he invited his stupid friends to beg; what a week and pathetic man.
"Gather 'round, kids," a young woman – the party planner – called out. "Time for Pin the Tail On the Donkey."
As with every game, Damien went first. And, as with every game, he did poorly. On his third try, he'd managed to pin the tail on the donkey's nose. Being as his playmates were being on their best behavior to appease their ever-judging parents, they clapped and said their "Nice tries"; save for one.
"You are much dumb," said a large child. Nikapol Ivanovich – the Russian Ambassador's son. "You should be in school for retarded."
The planner scolded him, as a couple of the children snickered. Damien didn't show any sort of care; this wasn't the first time he'd been made fun of by the chubby Russian and it certainly wouldn't be the last.
The children broke apart to play on their own, before the next party game. Damien watched, as they went off into pairs and groups, while he remained. As the lonesome child stared at the ground, a pair of polished black shoes came into view.
A smile had already stretched his lips, as he look up into the eyes of an old, tall, black man; dressed in a tail coat suit.
"Hi, Payton," Damien greeted.
Payton – the butler – bowed slightly, as he said, "How are we doing, young master."
"You shouldn't call me that. Father doesn't like it."
"I will refer to you, however you wish... Damien. Now, I hate to say it, but you seem to be in ill spirits, for a young man celebrating his day of birth."
"It's nothing... well..."
"Ambassador Ivanovich's son again?"
Damien nodded. "He keeps calling me retarded, every time he sees me."
"Pay him no mind. Only foolish peasants try to hold themselves in higher order than their superiors."
Again, Damien nodded. Payton always talked funny, but he was always right.
Payton tussled Damien's hair and nudged his cheek. "Now, I believe the next game is about to begin. Do have fun."
Damien ran off, as Payton's eyes scanned the party and eventually fell upon Nikapol. He gave the boy an eery smile, as he made his way to the gathering of children around a large tree. They huddled together, as a donkey pinata was lowered from one of the branches, by one of the Thorn's employees.
Again, Damien went first. He held the bat tight in his little fingers, as he swung. Miss. He steadied himself and swung again. Miss. By the third attempt, the employee tried giving Damien an edge, by barely moving the pinata, but he missed again.
More halfhearted clapping and "nice tries"; followed by Nikapol's jeering.
"Jeez, Thorn. Even paper donkey smarter than you; all it need do is nothing."
Damien remained silent, as he joined the rest of the children, as they began taking their turns. Eventually, it was soon to be Nikapol's turn. Payton's eery smile crossed his face again, as he winked. The employee holding the rope suddenly lost his grip and the pinata fell to the ground. It remained intact, but the rope had burned the employee's hands.
Payton stepped up to him and looked at his hands. "My, that's a grievous wound indeed. I suggest going to Mrs. Baylock and have that bandaged. The meanwhile, I will tend to the children."
The employee made his way toward the manor, as Payton took hold of the rope. "Are we ready, children?"
They cheered, as the boy before Nikapol went up next. Nikapol was eager for his turn, as he stood in front of Damien. The children cried out for there to be candy spilled upon the ground, as the boy swung and missed. As the boy readied his next swing, Payton looked over to Damien.
Foolish peasants, all of them.
Damien shook his head a little, before staring intently at Nikapol's back.
Damned peons. They need to know their place.
The boy with the bat took a second swing and managed to catch the pinata's head, but it didn't burst. He butted the bat on the ground, as he tried to get a firmer grip.
Someone needs to remind them.
Damien poked Nikapol, urging him to turn. "What is it, retard?"
Damien stared at him, with cold unblinking eyes.
"You are retarded. Maybe ask Mama to go to retard school, before it too late."
Damien looked over Nikapol's shoulder and saw the boy had gotten his grip and was ready for his last swing. "It's you turn," said Damien.
Nikapol shoved him back and shook his head, as he walked backwards toward to pinata. "Stupid reta-"
There was a sickening thud, as Nikapol's head was shaken by a heavy blow from the bat. The fat Russian fell on the ground. He convulsed, as blood began to run from his nose. His body began to shake even worse, as blood began to pool on the ground just under his head. He was shaking so terribly, his left eye fell from it's socket; dangling just above the bridge of his nose.
The chorus of the children's screams brought everyone running to their aid. The adults began corralling the them away from Nikapol, as others had to hold back the raving Russian ambassador.
While the adults were distracted with their commotion, Damien knelt before Nikapol. Without any emotion in his eyes or on his face, he said, "imetʹ veselʹye, v zamedlyatʹ shkola."
Damien stood and calmly walked away; mingling into the crowd of distraught onlookers.
Later that day, as the sun began to set over the horizon, Payton was walking away from the Thorn estate, with a suitcase in hand. The party planner had told the Thorn's she saw him yank the pinata up at the last minute; resulting in Nikapol being struck, instead of the faux donkey. Payton had apologized for his error and resigned.
As he neared the end of the driveway, he turned back to the sound of hastened footsteps. Young Damien came to a halt in front of him.
"Yes, young Master?"
"Father told me you quit," said Damien, coolly. "I wished to apologize. It was my fault as well."
Payton knelt down and looked upon Damien with a toothy smile. "There was no fault, in this matter. The peasants now know their place. They may tell themselves this was an accident, but deep down, they know this was a command: Never forget, you are beneath me. That boy will live the rest of his days as a simpleton; a brainless pawn to be shuffled off of the board."
Damien nodded. "You're right, Payton. You're always right."
Payton lifted his hand and ran his finger across Damien's cheek. "I have to leave you now. But, before I go, I wish to show you a trick."
Damien smiled. "Show me."
Damien and Payton walked along the tracks of a train yard. Payton walked on a rail, with inhumanly agile footing. Damien tried to mimic him, but couldn't come close.
"Tell me... Damien. What did you say to Nikapol?"
"I don't know," he continued his rail-walking.
"You know it was Russian, right?"
"It was?" he asked, undaunted.
"Yes. In fact, you told him to have fun, at retard school."
"I guess it makes sense."
Payton released a uproarious cackle. "Your humble superiority amuses me, young Master. It will serve you well, in the times to come."
Payton stopped, as he saw a light in the distance. "It's time I showed you that trick. Stand over there, if you would."
Damien stepped off the track and stood on the other side.
A loud horn echoed, as Payton faced down the track and fell to his knees. He turned his head and look upon Damien with caring eyes... eyes black as night.
"Watch close now," he said, as he reared his head back and let forth a scream so loud and distorted it sounded like thunder during a hurricane. His back arched to the point the top of his head almost touched the ground. Payton suddenly straightened his back, as he doubled over and vomited a black ichor onto the tracks.
Payton gasped for air, as he look around him; confused. He saw Damien.
"Where the hell am I?"
Damien just looked at him, as he pointed.
Payton followed his finger to the bright light barreling toward him. He held up his hands and wailed like a banshee, before being struck by a train. His body tore apart, this way and that.
Damien watched his head – still in the air – before it landed at his feet. Half of Payton's face was gone; replaced by skull and muscle. The rest was frozen in the scream. Young Damien Thorn reached down and pluck the head from the ground.
He turned the head to it's side and brought his lips close to it's ear.
"Do it again."

At Elements, you don't need spelunking gear and bat repellant to be considered a "caver." The staff applies the term to those who regularly visit its artificial salt cave—a grotto lined with pink Himalayan salt and lounge chairs. The salt dispenses particles into the air that potentially soothe the skin and combat respiratory ailments, such as congestion and asthma. And, by mimicking a natural cave, the room falls in line with the spa's eco-friendly motif. This focus on the environment pervades all of their treatments, paying homage to the elements of earth, water, wood, metal, and fire.
A wet room, complete with a vichy shower and soaking tub, best embody the "water" aspect, whereas skin and massage services incorporate the remainder of the elements. Aestheticians light up complexions with products from Naturopathica Holistic Skin Care, applying extracts of alpine willow, rosemary, and chamomile to fight the signs of acne and rosacea. Massage therapists, meanwhile, customize their kneads to the unique aches of each client. They might untie muscular knots with help from Mexican beach stones, or conduct an ashiatsu massage with their bare feet, the best tools for conducting deep-tissue work behind jackhammers set to "gentle."
Located inside Sun-Rayz Tanning, Derick Steven Hair Studio offers haircuts for men, women, and kids. The savvy stylists also update tresses with partial or full highlights as well as perms. Special occasions get an extra dose of glamour after the stylists create special looks such as braided updos with buns or cascading curls.

difficulties are worked out before making use of such methods. Decisions about schools and teachers are being made, and, as Jane Hannaway noted, there is enormous demand from the policy side, to which the testing and research communities need to respond as quickly as possible. Some of the technical problems may never be resolved, as is the case with current status models, but many participants asserted that value-added methods can still be used, albeit with caution.
At the same time, throughout the workshop, participants raised a number of questions that they thought were important for policy makers to be asking if they are considering using value-added indicators for evaluation and other purposes.
Kevin Lang suggested that, when deciding whether to use value-added methods, one question for decision makers to ask is "Compared to what?" If these models are intended to replace other indicators, will they provide information that is more useful, accurate, or fair than what is currently available? If they are being considered as an additional indicator (in conjunction with others), will the incremental gain in information be substantively meaningful?
Dale Ballou reminded the group that every method for evaluating effectiveness with respect to student achievement (e.g., status, growth, value-added) has risks and rewards. So the question "Compared to what?" is also important to ask about the risk-reward trade-off associated with different test-based evaluation strategies. Many of the concerns about value-added models—including concerns about the models themselves (e.g., transparency and robustness to violations of assumptions), concerns about the test data that feed into the models (e.g., reliability, validity, scaling), and concerns about statistical characteristics of the results (e.g., precision, bias)—also apply to some extent to the assessment models that are currently used by the states. Value-added models do raise some unique issues, which were addressed at the workshop.
Regardless of which evaluation method is chosen, risk is unavoidable. That is, in the context of school accountability, whether decision makers choose to stay with what they do now or to do something different, they are going to incur risks of two kinds: (1) identifying some schools as failing (i.e., truly ineffective) that really are not and (2) neglecting to identify some schools that really are failing. One question is whether value-added models used in place of, or in addition to, other methods will help reduce those risks.
