Dungeon DivingMarch 28th, 2008 by Crusader
Do you like hacking your way through monster-filled labyrinths? Well then do I have the games for you!
- Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is a challenging roguelike with ASCII text and tile support with varied character possibilities and random item generation.
- POWDER, another roguelike with an emphasis on fast gameplay, has a new release with new spells and features.
- First Age Angband is an Angband variant with a Silmarillion-derived setting.
I've also been playing Neverwinter Nights again; in particular, a brutal user-created module inspired by a pen-paper Dungeons and Dragons module created by the late Gary Gygax: Tomb of Horrors (both expansion packs are required).

LOS ANGELES (AP) - California health officials say a woman who smoked a cigarette through a hole in her throat to illustrate the struggle of nicotine addiction in public service advertisements has died after a long struggle with cancer.
Health department spokeswoman Anita Gore says Debi Austin passed away Friday at age 62.
Austin first appeared on television in 1996, telling viewers she began smoking at age 13 and could never quit.
She told the camera, "They say nicotine isn't addictive" before holding a lit cigarette to the hole in her throat that allowed her to breathe after her larynx was removed at age 42.
"How can they say that?" Austin asked viewers, as cigarette smoke wafted from the hole.
Four months after the ad, Austin quit smoking.

Manicures have always been a fun past time to partake in with our girlfriends. They're not terribly expensive, and you can sit there chatting while your toes and nails are getting all prettied up! And then all that information about toxic ingredients, cancer-causing, birth defects…ugh. What's a green girl to do when she wants to get all gussied up?
How's about a DIY eco manicure?
Step 1: Put a small dab of good quality oil (geranium, grapeseed, Vitamin E, sweet almond, olive, etc) on cuticles and gently push cuticles back with an orangewood stick (available in beauty supply stores). Do not clip cuticles. They help protect your fingernails from bacteria.
Step 2: Fill a bowl with warm water and several drops of the oil. Soak each hand for 3-4 minutes. Alternately you can soak your hands in warm whole milk.
Step 3: Exfoliate your hands with a homemade exfoliant. Try this almond and honey hand exfoliant .
Step 4: Apply a ridge-filling base coat to your fingernails, then apply color. After color has dried, add a clear top coat. Ensure the chosen products do not contain the following: toluene, DBP (dibutyl phthalate), formaldehyde. (Read more about dangerous nail polish ingredients here).
Try these non-toxic nail polish brands: Zoya, Polished Mama, Acquarella,
P.S. When you're ready to remove the nail polish, opt for soy or water-based, acetone-remover (avoid alcohol-based). Try Priti soy-based polish remover.

Andrew Potter – the guy who wrote The Authenticity Hoax and The Rebel Sell – has a great post on the reaction to that Simpsons Banksy intro, one that puts forth what I think is actually a vital and necessary response to current North American leftism.
Writing about artistic rebellion against capitalism, Potter smartly and astutely points out that the kind of parodic, ironic critique exemplified by Banksy's Simpsons intro relies on the idea that dissent 'from within' is important. But Potter argues that "dissent doesn't threaten capitalism, because capitalism does not require the sort of conformity that the dissent purports to subvert". To wit, contrarian reactions against capitalism are often assertions of individual freedom and intelligence more than anything else, and can easily be commodified: don't buy this corrupted thing, but this organic, local, well-sourced thing instead.
But in something like Walmart's recent announcement that it will start sourcing things from local farmers, anti-capitalists often respond by dismissing them out of hand because of a perception that moves perpetuated by market concerns cannot possibly be good. As Potter writes:
Capitalists absorb legitimate critiques in ways that actually make the world a better place. As I argue in this essay looking at No Logo ten years on, the mainstreaming of old critiques is a success story:"From eco- to organic, fair trade to locally sourced, sweatshop safe to dolphin friendly, sales pitches that 10 years ago would have reeked of patchouli oil and set the red baiters on full alert are now thoroughly mainstream. Companies like Whole Foods (and its quarterly "5 Percent Day," when each location donates 5 percent of its net sales to a nonprofit) or the Vermont-based Seventh Generation (a natural soap and detergent company devoted to all forms of sustainability, whose co-founder and executive chairman is known as the "inspired protagonist" of the firm) are massively successful operations."
This is only a bad thing if you think that the point of dissent is not to change the system for the better, but to bring it down entirely.
That last line feels key to me, and is something that, until someone comes up with a better response than authoritarian socialism, needs to be repeated.
BUT – and it's a big one – if Potter is arguing that capitalism's capacity to absorb critique can make the world a better place (which I agree with) it is also that same capacity that simultaneously makes the world worse.
After all, if contemporary capitalism works by beckoning us to enjoy and feel good – whether that pleasure comes from fast food, a sex toy or ethical satisfaction at having bought fair trade – it means that capitalism's capacity to ameliorate the world only works when those improvements have market value.
But the difficulty with capitalism is that issues or problems that cannot be incorporated into markets and have no to little cultural currency – say, the drudgery of factory work, health concerns of workers, the massive disparity between the 'first world' and the Global South, or the use of that disparity to fuel a manufacturing economy – then capitalism's capacity to absorb critiques becomes a massive elision, this gaping hole into which the world's misery is poured. To wit, the same capitalist process of enjoyment that allows for the useful incorporation of fair trade or local farming is the same process that allows for massive southern poverty, Western control of the IMF, or environmental abuses in places we've never heard of. The problem with relying on the market's capacity to respond is that there is no necessary concordance between those ideas and issues with market value and those with ethical, environmental or cultural value.
So sure, celebrate when the markets react to make the world a better place. But also keep in mind that it's the very same process that enables capitalism's most egregious and aggressive moments of terror, suffering and deprivation.
Note: The animated Zizek video is so so so good.

Charleston Autism Academy presents "The Ripple Effect," a one-day surfing camp fundraiser event for children with and without autism.
The Ripple Effect will be held on May 17, from noon to 5 p.m. on the beach at East 3rd Street, Folly Beach, South Carolina. The event, sponsored by ESIX, Ocean Surf, the International Order of the King's Sons and Daughters, Music Unlimited and Spears Events, will feature live music, beach fun and surfing instructors who will work with each child registered to participate to allow him/her to experience the joy of surfing.
With the newest autism prevalence rates reported this year to be one in 68 children in the United States, it is important for our community to become more aware and accepting of people with autism and support the families who are struggling to care for their loved ones. The Ripple Effect is an event that will bring together people with and without autism in their families, allowing children with autism to surf and play alongside children without autism. In addition to building community, this event will hopefully raise needed funds to build a safe play area on the grounds of the clinic area of Charleston Autism Academy.
Charleston Autism Academy is a federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing autism therapy services to school-aged children. Founded in 2007 by concerned parents of children with autism, this organization provides applied behavioral therapy services and music therapy services to children with autism in a very structured environment on a very individualized basis.
To sign up to participate as a surf camper at the Ripple Effect, go to www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4FACA62CA6FD0-theripple.
For more information on Charleston Autism Academy (CAA) and the Ripple Effect, go to CAA's website at www.charlestonautismacademy.org.

Thank you CWuestefeld, I knew of that option too. Unfortunately, while I dont use the device itself often, and i DO use SD more than the others, i DO use atleast 3 of the 4 ports. I use the SD slot for most things, the XD slot for my older fuji camera, and the CF slot for programming my m0n0wall router that boots from a CF>IDE drive for silence.
Also, even if the SD card was the only one you need, this way works better, because your STILL not taking up one drive letter for 3 months while you dont need it.

WMA safety officers can pull you from a meet if you're 'a danger'
World Masters Athletics has a new rule, approved by the Porto Alegre General Assembly, that puts a lot of power in the hands of "safety officers." If they think your health is endangered — or you're a risk to your rivals — you can be yanked from the track or field. No kidding! See the rule here: "The World Masters Athletics Council shall appoint a Safety Director. Who shall appoint one or more Safety Officers with authority to withdraw from competition any athlete whose continued participation in that competition would, in the opinion of the Safety Officers, endanger the athlete's health or the safety of the other competitors. The Safety Officer may exercise their authority through deputies and both the Safety Officers and any Deputies shall be clearly identifiable with full accreditation." Not sure why this is needed. But it smells bad.

Been a feature of the European scene for a while, Ken. You'll recall I blogged this piece recently, referring back to a notorious incident in 2010. http://tomsprints.wordpress.com/2014/01/05/dignity/
Milan Jamrich - February 4, 2014
I see how that would be useful
Ken Stone - February 4, 2014
Every major meet has waivers you sign that get the LOC off the legal hook if you drop dead midrace. So why is this rule needed?
Mary Harada - February 4, 2014
Isn't there an official in charge of safety at USATF Masters track meets? Or am I so clearly out of it as to be a danger to myself? My friend Louise Adams was pulled off the track by an official in the 5k in Riccione – after that official called out to her and she turned to look – tripped and fell. They hauled her off to the emergency room despite her objections. I think the danger here is lack of understanding by these high and mighty officials with their badges dangling around their necks understanding what constitutes a "danger". Louise was in no danger – except from the official who made a comment to her and distracted her. As I am approaching 80 (15 months) it is a very worrisome thing to me – that I could be dragged off the track because somebody who is basically clueless about older athletes does not like the way I list to port or starboard.
Certainly there are times when athletes are in danger from heat exhaustion or even lightening strikes (does it seem odd to anyone that this rule was passed in Brazil where a race was continued in spite of lightening???) – a committee of 3 – wow – there will be trouble for sure – when this little gang of 3 decides that anyone over 75 just must be in danger.
Courtland Gray - February 4, 2014
If they had seen me on the last hurdle a couple of times, I might have been yanked before finishing.
Quick Silver - February 4, 2014
I guess this rule formalizes a power they've abrogated to themselves for a while. My wife was a safety judge in Clermont Ferrand (she's a medical professional) and I have been consulted about the listing to port and starboard of members of my team. In the past I've always found the power to be exercised with appropriate discretion.

As we get older our physical ability and our mental ability to judge our own condition gets diminished. It is probably not a bad idea to have a medical specialist to have a look at the situation.
If used correctly, it might be prevent you from hurting yourself.
Milan Jamrich - February 4, 2014
Corr.: If used correctly, it might prevent you from hurting yourself..
Mary Harada - February 6, 2014
If the safety judges have medical training – a good thing to have such officials – if they do not – then it could be very arbitrary. I have no objections to well trained safety judges – and it is not just older athletes who need looking after. Some younger athletes push beyond the point of good sense in the heat and humidity – or for other reasons such as injuries- in an effort to compete. And I recall an instance in a WAVA meet where an athlete had to be restrained from attempting to compete in a relay after a fall resulted in a broken limb.. The competitive spirit can have a way of overcoming good sense. I suspect all of us are guilty of pushing ourselves close to the point of bodily harm or even beyond.

Grunty Industries
From RWP Wiki
|Grunty Industries
|Isle o' Hags (Quagmire)
|Jiggy Requirements
|Additional Info
Grunty Industries is the sixth world in Banjo-Tooie, and is also referenced in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. It is a large factory located in the Quagmire region of the Isle o' Hags. It is surrounded by polluted air, disgarded waste, dead trees, and is an example of Gruntilda's lack of concern for the environment.
The transformation of this level is the washing machine.
The Jiggies available in Grunty Industries are:
- Obtainable after defeating Weldar and entering a giant fan.
- Attained after defeating Weldar and entering a small room below the fan, using Banjo alone to shack pack to the bottom of the toxic pool.
- Found by breaking the window above the main entrance and gliding across as Kazooie alone, destroy all the Tintops.
- Inside the Trash Compactor.
- Awarded by successfully completing the Twinklies Packing minigame.
- In the Waste Disposal Plant in the basement, received by using the shack pack move across the toxic pool.
- In the fifth floor, on top of some boxes.
- Found by breaking the non-toxic drums to free the jiggy in Quality Control, then getting the jiggy from the other side with the washing Machine.
- Given by clearing Clinker's Cavernm
- Rewarded by cleaning all six bunnies as the washing machine.
The Jinjos found in Grunty Industries are:
- Underwater, accessed through a pipe from Jolly Roger Lagoon.
- Found by flying to the top of the building and shooting out the patch on one of the smokestacks with a grenade egg. Drop down in there to find a Jinjo in the boiler room.
- In the fifth floor, in one of the rooms containing a rabbit.
- On the second floor, accessible by using the Leg Spring as Kazooie.
- Outside and behind the building, by splitting up and have Banjo press a switch while Kazooie claw clambers up to a window.
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, the factory is in the process of being constructed, and is more of a lava-oriented mini level at the time. However, Grunty Industries' waste and pollution melted the snow surrounding the factory, and the foliage that did manage to grow died as the pollution spread.
This level is linked to other levels in the following ways:
- Jolly Roger's Lagoon - via Water pipe.
- Hailfire Peaks - Oil Drill Pipe

Can't beat the lunch special for sushi rolls. Had soup, salad, and two delicious rolls for $10. Be prepared to pay for hot tea. That was the only negative. I'd definitely return.
Posted by anonymous on 10/10/2010
Went there this evening with my husband and another couple and must say an A+ evening. The sushi quality was super fresh and tasty and the menu has the most exotic, delicious choices. The drinks were amazing too. Ive been to nearly all the sushi rest. in NYC and must say this is top 3. Staff was super friendly too.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/22/2010
but felt the need. Been looking for a suitable, cheap, quick Thai delivery replacement for Jasmine since it closed down. This place is NOT that. The "Pad Thai" is Angel Hair pasta with literally no flavor whatsoever, the Green "Curry" chicken is not a curry but some kind of weird paste-like substance, and the Shrimp Shumai tastes like nothing.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/07/2010
Amber is one of the most serious offenders when it comes to overpriced food. My friend and I got home after a long day and decided on what the menu represents as a tasty foray into panasian cuisine. Instead, we were disappointed: 1) the sushi was subpar and not fresh 2) the additions we had made were not added - but we still paid for them 3) the beef negamaki was so burnt and tough it was barely edible on the outside, but then surprise! once i finally made it through the foul, tasteless exterior it was completely raw on the inside 4) Ginger salad with raisins? What a mediocre surprise.

Sliced jalapeño on sahimi! Yum! They wld not let my water glass get empty. Attentive service. High quality lean sushi.
Posted by chris on 05/24/2010
we went with a group of friends on a sunday night so it was quiet. The place had a great atmosphere and somewhat nice decor. We had ordered the salmon roll, oyster platter, tofu salad, angry lobster roll, one salmon hand roll and red thai curry. The salmon rolls were decent. I was really looking forward to the oyster platter but i was extremely disappointed!!! It was not fresh at all and quite frankly a waste of 16 dollars. The tofu salad was more like a tofu stew. The lobster roll was good. The thai curry was not edible and was definitely not thai red curry. The hand roll did not come with enough rice... overall a bad experience. I love the location over on 27th and had high expectations for this one since it is located in the upper east side. I think we're going to stick to the other location since it's consistently good.
Posted by Cariana on 05/17/2010
I love coming here because they have such fresh healthy food, and even health conscious cocktails. Last time I went I splurged on a Spider roll, but had a great "antioxidant martini" made with tyku liquor. It is a small place, but the service is fast and the people are friendly!

Roy Blunt Dubbed "Senator Earmark" By The Wall Street Journal
Categories: Politics
|"Did somebody say earmark?"
The strategy, of course, failed miserably. Blunt trounced Carnahan by a whopping 14 percent at the polls last week.
But when the Show-Me State's Senator-elect sat down for a half hour interview with The Wall Street Journal's editorial board last week, the paper seemed a little puzzled as to how Blunt won when he's "just the kind of career politician that the tea party movement was created to devour."
The interview -- headlined "Mr. Earmark" -- is entertaining not just for the WSJ's general skepticism about Blunt, who they describe as "a powerful dispenser of patronage and influence," but for the general disdain Blunt seems to have for the reporters.
Here's how the story ends:
The elephant, as it were, in the room is how well the Republicans can get along with tea partiers who are energized by their ideas more than the party. Cue Mr. Blunt. "I'll repeat again: communication, so they understand. You got to keep talking to people who have these expectations so they understand what the fight is about at the moment." He adds that Sens. [Marco] Rubio and [Rand] Paul are "great" to have in Washington, but "I think everything will not turn out the way they think it will."And it's not like Blunt was getting grilled by Keith Olbermann -- the WSJ is a division of News Corp., the same company that owns Fox News.
With our half-hour up, Mr. Blunt stands in mid-question, claps me on the back without offering a hand in farewell, and says, "See ya."
Read the whole thing here: The Grand New--and Old--Party: Rand Paul compares Capitol Hill to the Soviet Politburo. Other Senate newcomers include Washington veterans like Roy Blunt.

Product description
In this innovative book Dr Morris seeks to show the many ways in which the excavated remains of burials can and should be a major source of evidence for social historians of the ancient Graeco-Roman world. Burials have a far wider geographical and social range than the surviving literary texts, which were mainly written for a small elite. They provide us with unique insights into how Greeks and Romans constituted and interpreted their own communities. In particular, burials enable the historian to study social change. Ian Morris illustrates the great potential of the material in these respects with examples drawn from societies as diverse in time, space and political context as archaic Rhodes, classical Athens, early imperial Rome and the last days of the western Roman empire.

Review quote
"Morris represents a new wave of research in archaeology, and his book is welcome...It is engagingly written and unites a great deal of wide-ranging information." Choice "Morris has written an excellent book about the interpretation of ancient burial remains and the use of such interpretations for social history." Religious Studies Review "While aimed primarily at social historians, this work will also be of significant interest to classical archaeologists looking for creative approaches to interpreting the graves they excavate...I once heard an anthropologist claim that classical archaeology has not produced a theorist of note since Pausanias. Morris, citing recent work on Greek burials, asserts that the field may yet answer its critics. This work is part of that response." Clark A. Walz, American Journal of Archaeology

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Here we go again! The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning to begin at 3 p.m. Monday, with the possibility of 6-12 inches of snow.
In response, Kansas City Mayor Sly James declared a state of emergency. Mayor James said the city began towing vehicles in anticipation of the need to plow. In an 11:30 a.m. news conference Monday, Mayor James told people to stay home on Tuesday if they possibly can.
Reporters asked about employees whose companies remained open– and what choices they had.
"We don't think the workers unfortunately, unless they're in a collective bargaining agreement, have much recourse," the mayor said.
City Manager Troy Schulte said the last snow cost about $1.9 million with labor, materials and salt. He expected this next storm to cost about as much, if not more.
"Get those cars off the street as soon as you can," City Manager Troy Schulte followed up. "We are currently towing cars that are impeding public safety. We are also cleaning locations that have been identified through our customer 311 center."
Schulte said they becan towing cars at about 9 a.m. on Monday to clear the path for plows. Those cars can be found at the city tow lot on East Front Street.
"Right now, we're worried about, 'Can we keep the equipment running? Can we keep our people healthy, not exhausted?' Schulte said.
"Our crews have really been working their tails off," the mayor said. "The cleanup that we're engaged in now has become even more urgent because of the impending storm."
"Please check on your elderly neighbors. Check on your neighbors regardless of age. Stick together," he encouraged. "We want you to be safe, be smart, be warm, take care of each other."

PERVERT Paul Charnley filmed himself having sex with his labrador dog, a court heard.
The 28-year-old father was arrested after a Metropolitan Police investigation into a suspected sex offender's email account.
Prosecutor Neil Ahuja told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court that police recovered indecent images showing the defendant having sex with his pet dog. Charnley's camera, iPad and desktop computer were examined and he was found to be in possession of indecent images of children.
Charnley, of The Greenway, May Bank, pleaded guilty to three charges of intercourse with an animal, four charges of possessing extreme pornographic images and two charges of making indecent photos of a child.

Robert Smith, mitigating, said Charnley, who is now separated from his wife, is thoroughly ashamed.
Judge Paul Glenn sentenced the defendant to a three-year community order with supervision and a requirement to undertake the community sex offender programme.
He will be on the sex offenders' register for five years. And he must pay £530 costs.

It can never be again! Everyone always talks about a good thing coming to an end, as if life was over. But I'll be 40 when this interview comes out. Paul is 38. Elton John, Bob Dylan we're all relatively young people. The game isn't over yet. Everyone talks in terms of the last record or the last Beatle concert but, God willing, there are another 40 years of productivity to go. I'm not judging whether I Am The Walrus is better or worse than I'magine. It is for others to judge. I am doing it. I do. I don't stand back and judge I do.

"John's my guy. I like John. And John can pitch. He led our club last year in wins." -- Davey Johnson on John Lannan, March 26
PHILADELPHIA -- For John Lannan, the moment came in the bottom of the third, when faced with a bases-loaded jam he struck out Ryan Howard and got Carlos Ruiz on a comebacker.
Game in a nutshell: Hoping to move another step closer to their first division title, the Nationals dug themselves into an early hole and couldn't climb all the way out.
In Davey Johnsons media session before Mondays game, the Nationals manager revealed two injuries that sound relatively minor at this point.

I feel like having read pretty much all your stories and recently visited the lovely UK for the first time (I'm Canadian) I should leave a review. I love all your stories and appreciate the canon compliance of them but most of all your level of writing and how much you truly understand the characters. Although I rarely review any story that I read by any author, some of them I have read many times and I really appreciate the effort you put in. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Author's Response: Thanks.
I hope you enjoyed your visit. I recommend Hadrian's Wall, particularly Housesteads and Steel Rigg, but it's not on many peoples list of destinations.I try my best tos stick to book canon, although I'm fairly sure that some Pottermore revelations may make some of my stuff "wrong".
I've been ridiculously busy recently, but, once again, Im back and writing.-N-
Another great chapter Lee does a great job but Harry's bludger line was most unexpected and very funny.
Author's Response: Thanks
Harry has a streak of mischief in him.-N-
Lee probing question,Harry one word answer
Yup, that's Harry
Auror calendar
Harry: mortified
Ginny: I'll buy one!
great story keep up the good work!
When can we expect an update on Aurors and Schoolgirls? not to rush you or anything
Great story telling.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Harry didn't always give one word answers.The calendar won't be available any time soon.
Next will probably be Strangers, although I'm working on A&S, honest.-N-
Lee is a natural. Another great job
Author's Response: Thank you. -N-
Love your work, particularly this story. Thanks for the great edition to a great story.
Author's Response: Thank you. The wedding gets slowly closer. -N-
I like your Style! I've been reading a few of the stories, not of them seem to be faithful to the original story or the original characters (personalities, motivations, demeanor) very well, some seem to betray all that the original books were, so congratulations, and please, continue, i'm really looking forward to the wedding, and please, feel free to explore a little of the couples initial marry years, maybe the journey to parenthood too.
Author's Response: Thanks for your review.
I try my best to stay faithful to JKR's vision for her characters. This story will be updated, but my plans are for it to end at the wedding. However, I've written several stories dealing with the birth of Harry and Ginny's children. In order, they are: It takes Two; E.C.C.E.N.T.R.I.C.; First Sight; Sleepless Night; Beard Hunters; New Year's Eve (marginally); Ginny's Rival; and, Strangers at Drakeshaugh.
Great chapter, Petunia does seem to be thawing slightly, perhaps due to Dudley's influence. Vernon still his old unlovable self. Loved the reference to single mother wriiter!
Nice to hear about Ernie, hope Lisa will save him from his family.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
Petunia was beginning to thaw in DH (I think). Vernon is a no hoper, and my timing, for once, was apt. I began writing this after reading the obviously libelous article in Vernon's paper, and just this week the paper has been forced to apologise (in it's usual "we're not really sorry" way). JKR is (of course) donating the damages to (an undisclosed) charity. I really hope it's going to go to the single parents charity at the centre of the row, simply because it's certain to annoy the paper and its readers.-N-
Just when I thought you had covered stories for everyone you bring out Ernie. Loved the nervousness conveyed in the story and the imagery from your writing.
Author's Response: Thanks
Ernie will reappear in later chapters. You'll be seeing more of Susan. too.-N-
Man this a good one. I can picture Vernon's face looking a that envelope.
The spot MacMillan is in is pretty tough it may be years before he makes any effective business decisions and he knows it. He has a good point who would make up a story about being Harry's buddy. The Battle probably takes up five chapters in the history books already. And I doubt the membership list of Dumbledor's army was much of a secret after the medals were handed out. IIRC he also fought at Collin's funeral. It would take a pretty thick layer of stupid to BS about knowing Harry. His life and known associates is probably better documented than the history of quiddich.
Excellent work, can we have some more, please, sir?
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
This is the first (and probably the only) chapter of this story not to directly feature Harry and Ginny. Vernon definitely isn't happy.As for Ernie, there is a reason I focussed on his invitiation, but that's for later. More of something soon.
Great lead in it is a real treat to see Ron get to be the big brother for a change it was like the definite declaration chapter in Aurors and Schoolgirls his brain does work (he plays chess!)
keep up the good work
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I thought that it was time for Ron to play big brother. I've never doubted that Ron's brain works, but he's got Hermione, so it doesn't need to. -N-
Loved the new Chapter, Happy to see that your back writing again :D, Will this story end with Harry and Ginny's wedding? It would be really cool if it did.
Author's Response: Thanks.
The chapter titles are counting down to the wedding day, so yes, that's where this story (collection of one-shots?) will end.-N-
Another great chapter and Ron getting to show his good side too.
Good to see you back.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
The wisdom of Ron, who'd have thought it? :-DIt's good to be back.
Delightful, and I love your attention to details. Like the dressing gown wasn't just there, it was not supposed to be there yet Ron has an automatic expectation of it being there, they don't just share cake but they have a rule about the cutting and sharing, and there is cake all over her face...the call back to childhood was cute, the conversation amazing, and the ending as usual the best possible way to end.
I love your writing. Do keep updating.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review.
I've been toying with the idea of writing a Ron/Ginny one-shot set at the time the twins go off to Hogwarts for the first time, instead I did a sort-of flashback in this chapter. Hopefully, now that real life seems to be finally returning to normal, I'll be able to get back to my writing.-N-
Love this :) And yay for updating this fic!
Author's Response: Thanks, and sorry for the long delay in submitting anything. Major real life issues. :-( But I'm back :-) -N-
:) Perfect.
Author's Response: Thank you. -N-
I registered just to tell you how much I have enjoyed your story. When will we get more?
Author's Response: The next chapter is part written, but some major real-life issues have slowed me down a lot. I hope to be able to post more soon. -N-
Well done, sir, on the fashiony-goodness, and I love that Ginny told them she was a hockey player. :)
Author's Response:
Thank you.Fashion! Writing this chapter taught me a lot. Ginny needs a plausible excuse for bruises.
Just found this story & I love it. Please update soon. By the way why is Ron not an Auror anymore? Thanks for writing.
Author's Response: Thank you. Ron is working with George, I'll be writing that story, too, one day. -N-
Author's Response: Thanks. -N-
This has been a fun story to read and I expect the level of detail and narrative to continue. You've managed to capture and effectively illustrate the ups and downs of a typical wedding journey. Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Thank you. The ups and downs will continue as the wedding slowly approaches. -N-

Jewish Thinkers & Thought 101
We Also Recommend
Religion is often thought of as a belief system or worldview, a philosophical framework through which reality is perceived.
But this conception of religion doesn't necessarily fit well with Judaism (and, scholars of religion would point out, doesn't do justice to most of the world's religions, which include behaviors, rituals, and ceremonies in addition to beliefs). In Jewish tradition and life, belief has often taken a back seat to practice. Historically, Jews have been more concerned with halakhah, the Jewish legal tradition governing Jewish practice, than makhshavah, the discipline of Jewish thought.
In addition, it is difficult to speak of a single or official Jewish worldview, theology, or philosophy. Instead, we must speak of Jewish theologies and philosophies: the various and varied religious worldviews articulated during Judaism's long history.
Jewish Thought
Neither the Bible nor foundational rabbinic literature–the Talmud and works of midrash–systematically analyzes Judaism. Theological ideas–the nature of God, creation, the afterlife–can be deduced from these writings, but oftentimes the information gleaned is contradictory, and rarely is it comprehensive.
Eventually, Jewish theology and philosophy did emerge as a unique discipline, reaching a place of particular prominence in Spain in the Middle Ages. Medieval Jewish thinkers articulated conceptual frameworks that tried to reconcile revelation and reason. Mystical theologies also gained prominence in the Middle Ages. The kabbalistic conception of God as a series of ten attributes–sefirot in Hebrew–is, to this day, one of the most studied and invoked Jewish theological concepts.
In the modern era, Jewish thinkers have confronted the new conditions of Jewish life: an increasingly secular world, the aftermath of the Holocaust, and the birth of the State of Israel.
Throughout history, Jewish thinkers have developed their theologies in dialogue with the cultures around them. From Philo's integration of Platonism and Judaism in the first century to Martin Buber's twentieth-century Jewish existentialism, Jewish thinkers have been influenced by trends in Christian, Muslim, and secular philosophy.

Philippians 2:5-11
Verse 5: Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
Now there are two primary ways this phrase has been interpreted, each with it's own nuance. The first is how I just read it above, "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus." The emphasis here is on imitation. Jesus had this particular attitude, this mind, and so we should try and emulate him. However, the second, and I think better translation, is something to this effect "Think this way among yourselves which also you think in Christ Jesus." In this translation, the emphasis is on the location of the believer. We exist in the fellowship of Christ. We are members of his body, and on that basis we think in certain ways. It's sort of the difference between your father saying that you need to act like your mother because she's a really humble person, and him saying that you're part of the family, and the ethos of this family is that we have a way of being in the world – a way that's exemplified in your mother.
Verse 6: who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
As children of the enlightenment, the modern era, we're a people of rights. It's built right into our constitution, that as humans we have certain 'inaliable' rights. Rights that can't be stolen. You'll recognize rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Or perhaps in the capitalistic world we might say that the capitalist has a right to his profits, or that the worker has a right to a living wage. I'm not against this language of rights per say, it certainly has it's place, however the example of Jesus models something very different for us because Philippians 2:6 says that Christ was equal with God, however he didn't see this equality, this position, as something to be held onto; a right to be defended at all costs but rather, as something to be released for the sake of the liberation of others.
vs. 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
vs. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
First, what's evident here is that Paul doesn't see the incarnation (God becoming Man) of Jesus as an upward move, but rather a downward move. In other words, he doesn't begin with this man Jesus and how he was such a religious genius that God ended up highly exalting him. Instead, he begins with the pre-existent Christ who then empties (Ekenosen – kenosis) himself, not of his deity or his God-ness, but an emptying/humbling that allowed him to take on the form (morph-n) of man. So in terms of direction we see a downward movement from pure Spirit into flesh and worldly life.
The other point of interest is to pinpoint exactly what this emptying and humbling consisted of. To do that though, I think we need to understand what it means to be human. There's an old dead German philosopher named Martin Heidegger who in 1927 published a famous book named "Being & Time." In that book, he explains that if you want to understand human beings, and specifically if you want to understand what distinguishes us from all other living creatures, then you need to understand that we are 'Being-Towards-Death'. In other words, what distinguishes humans from all other creatures isn't simply that we die, but rather that we know we will die. So what's interesting about Philippians 2:8 is that Paul seems to agree with this analysis and in effect says that this is what the self emptying and humiliation of Christ consisted of, precisely that he not only took the form of human, but that he actually subjected himself to death. But it wasn't just any death was it? No, it was one of the most humiliating deaths a person can undergo: stripped naked, exposed, humiliated, abandoned by his closest friends, and if we take his cry on the cross from Mark 15:34 seriously then we'd even say he experienced being abandoned by God.
vs. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
vs. 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
vs. 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I recall a friend pointing to a crucifix (You of course, know the difference. A cross is empty, while a crucifix displays the corpse of God.) and telling my brother and I that that crucifix is the difference between us and the Catholics – "the Catholics want to keep Jesus on the Cross." That crucifix is the difference between us and the Catholics – the Catholics want to keep Jesus on the cross. Now my friend's anti-Catholic bias came out a bit there, but still I have to admit that this was really insightful theological analysis. Because while I don't think Catholics deny the resurrection, I do think our crosses tell us something significant. So rather than taking a swipe at Catholics, let me cut at myself, my own tradition, for a moment. The reason we don't like crucifixes is because for us theologically the resurrection is the negation, the erasing, of the cross. The cross is the humiliation of God, the resurrection is the exaltation. The cross is the humbling of God, the resurrection is his glory. The cross is the moment of loss, when it looked like all was lost, but the resurrection is where God declared that we would not be the losers, but the winners. But that's not what this hymn seems to be pointing to. Instead the idea is this: in the cross we see the glory of God. That the weakness and humility of Christ was in fact His greatness.
The way we know this is the word "Therefore" (or 'For' or 'Wherefore' depending on your translation) at the beginning of verse 9. If we were writing the text we might have used the word "Yet, God highly exalted…" or "In spite of this humiliation…" but the text says 'therefore'. In other words, this self-emptying (kenosis) this self-humiliation isn't a compromise of His deity, but rather the very expression of it. It's interesting that in other texts Paul speaks that he's not ashamed of the Gospel and I wonder if the cross is what he has in mind. That Paul isn't ashamed by the cross, isn't ashamed by a God who is for us precisely in his death, a God who's power is expressed through weakness. A God who's moment of self humiliation is in fact his glory. As Karl Barth wrote in his wonderful Church Dogmatics, "He is not a God who is what He is in a majesty behind… this cross on Golgotha. On the contrary, the cross on Golgotha is itself the divine majesty…" (C.D. II.1 – pg. 517)
So perhaps our Catholic brothers and sisters have something to teach us with that crucifix, at least insofar as it exists as a symbol that reminds us that we serve not simply the God of glory, omnipotence, power, might, and strength… but that we serve the crucified God. The God who's strength is not the strength of this world, but is in fact expressed in weakness. The God who's might is not the might of a Caesar Augustus, or a Barack Obama, or a President Bush, but who's might is shown in his furious humility and humiliation. The God who's victory is achieved not by worldly systems of coercion and force and violence, but by sacrificial love. That word 'therefore' in verse 9 is so extremely important because it stops us from importing all of our very human and worldly concepts of power, victory, and glory into the text. In other words it stops us from reading verses 9-11, in isolation from verses 6-8.
Reflection & Application
There's a story towards the end of a popular Christian book that came out a few years ago that's stuck with me for quite some time. The story is about a small group of Christians on the secular campus of Reid College in Oregon. This college was known as a major party school, and they had a week called 'Ren Fair' where all of the students just went crazy: lots of partying, excessive drinking, drugs, people running around literally in the nude – it was pretty wild. So what these Christians were pondering is how on earth they might make an impact during that week. In other words, how could they witness to the reality of Christ in a godless, largely post-Christian environment. So here's what they came up with: they decided to setup a confessional booth, but not so that the students could confess to them, instead the Christians would confess to the student. And so they did. They built the confession booth right in the middle of campus, they dressed up in robes like monks and when people walked in they'd say something to this effect. "This is a confession booth. It's a place where confessions are heard, and if you don't mind I'd like to begin." And then they would. They'd confess the short comings, the failures, the weaknesses of the church. They confessed their irrational fear and violence towards people in other religions like in the crusades, they confessed their failure towards people of color in this country, they confessed they're failure towards the LGBT community, they confessed they're failure to look after the people Christ said to always be on the lookout for – the poor and the needy. On this day, they were the confessors.
To me this is the kenotic – self emptying – move. It's not about a formula, or a quick list of do's and don'ts, that ensure you're sufficiently humble and Christ like. Instead it's a posture, an invitation to think our faith through the lens of the cross, through the lens of a life poured out. I think that's what Paul is doing in this passage he's grabbing our shoulders, looking right into our eyes, and asking us "Do you see? Do you see the implications of the humiliation of God? Do you get what this means for you politically? Do you understand what this means for your patriotism? For your views on war? For your posture towards the lowly and despised in society? Do you understand, Brett?
This passage in Philippians 2 is an invitation to think our lives, and our churches, in light of the unsettling memory of the crucified God.
Let us pray.

Thursday poll: Do political signs belong in roundabouts?
This time of year, we've grown accustomed to seeing political signs cluttering the sides of roads. But with the growing number of roundabouts in the region, a new question arises. Most political signs are at the side of the road. They may be unattractive, but generally they don't impede your view. Driving through a roundabout, […] [Read More]

A Greek financial tragedy was barely averted this past Sunday, when the European Union and the International Monetary Fund promised the equivalent of up to $1 trillion to guarantee the Greek national debt and the debts of other financially shaky countries like Spain and Portugal.
The end of this act was much like the predetermined outcome of an ancient Greek drama. After months of back-and-forth negotiations, an agreement to save Greece and the European Union was inked hours before nervous Asian markets could open on Monday morning. But this move may only stem the tide of default in Europe. Other countries are likely to seek bailouts and, in a worst-case scenario, it could lead to Greece being evicted from Club Euro.
Whatever happens, there will be winners and there will be losers, both in the near-term and over time. What we are likely to see in the near-term is a devaluation of the euro as a currency. This will happen either through European Union action, or through bankers saying the euro just isn't worth what it used to be.
As a research firm, dedicated to the analysis of businesses in the health care sector, we believe U.S. drug and medical device companies could be among the big losers as the euro is devalued. The euro's strength against the dollar has given U.S. pharmaceutical companies an edge in selling goods on the continent. In the first quarter 2010, companies like Merck & Co., Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer, Inc. reported favorable financial benefit from growing sales of U.S. products in Europe and they showed significant profits from managing fluctuations in a relatively strong euro.
Johnson & Johnson reported that domestic sales decreased by 9.6 percent while international sales increased by 11.1 percent, of which there was a positive currency impact of 9.7 percent. Merck announced that international sales of drugs and vaccines grew by 10 percent, including favorable impact of foreign exchange. Pfizer said that international revenues were $9.4 billion, an increase of 60 percent compared with the prior-year quarter, which reflected 48 percent operational growth and a 12 percent favorable impact of foreign exchange.
But what foreign exchange giveth, foreign exchange taketh away. The decline of the value of the euro would, over time, make U.S. pharmaceutical and medical device products more expensive for European consumers. Existing contracts with government insurance plans, written in euros will stay the same. However, since the euro will be worth less on international currency markets, U.S. companies will experience lower profits. Over time, as new contracts are written, U.S. companies will try to increase their prices, but will be at a disadvantage when competing against Europe-based firms.
European manufacturers stand to benefit from a weaker euro both at home and abroad in other ways. As the euro's value decreases, European goods will become more affordable to foreign purchasers, making computers, cars, MRI machines and fine French wine more attractive to purchasers worldwide. Tourists to Europe this summer are also likely to benefit from a better exchange rate compared to the euro.

July 28, 2015
Authorities say 33-year-old Scott Leonard Rathel of Cairo had been missing since Saturday.
According to his roommates, Rathel went for a swim in the river and never resurfaced.
"It is very important to know that alcohol and swimming do not mix," says Investigator Tim Hardrick, Early County Sheriff's Office.
According to the roommate and the other adults, they had all been drinking.
Deputies say Rathel's roommates called authorities Saturday night after he went swimming and never came back to shore at the Confederate naval yard in Early County.
"We spoke with his roommate and a couple of other adults said that he went missing. Initial investigations had us search a certain area and we found out the area they were swimming out of."
Rathel's two brothers and several other family members drove across Georgia to get to the scene and identify his body.
The Early County Sheriff's Office searched for Rathel in the water for several days and eventually called the Houston County rescue team for help.
"We are all volunteers; no one is paid in our unit. To go out and assist other families and rescue squads is what we are here for and even though the work is sad, often times the reward for bringing closure to the families is what we are here for," said Wayne McKinnon, Houston County Rescue Team.
The investigation of this incident is ongoing.
Rathel's body is being shipped to Atlanta where an autopsy will be performed.
Authorities hope that will confirm the cause of death which is at this time is drowning.

Scientists sampling for Gulf oil recovery
As volunteers train and policymakers debate, scientists are pooling their datasets for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is the behind the scenes portion of region-wide preparations for the impending arrival of oil on land. Along the Gulf coast states, researchers are offering years of sediment, water and plankton samples to the cause of assessing pre-impact conditions in the Gulf. Meanwhile, researchers from the National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology (NIUST) are collecting samples from the seafloor and water column closer to the source of the leaks.
Taking action: what is being done and what you can do for the Gulf
As the oil leak continues, many of us feel helpless to mitigate the ecological impact of the spill. But this is just the beginning of the cleanup efforts and there is plenty that can be done right now. Here is the breakdown of what is currently being launched regarding response efforts for the Gulf oil spill, and what we can do to contribute.
