PAWTUCKET – Prior to Darlington American's R.I. Little League District II All-Star Major Division (11-12) Tournament opener against Warren on rainy Wednesday, manager Kevin Andella struggled with whom to start on the hill: Co-aces Seth Watson or Chris Pierce.
He chose Watson, and it proved to be an outstanding move. The right-hander baffled the Warren lineup, hurling 3 1/3 innings of no-hit, nine-strikeout ball as DALL captured a satisfying 7-2 victory.
With Pierce slated to start against Barrington in a winner's bracket preliminary tilt at Slater Park's Cosimini Field on Friday night, Andella believed he'd pick up where he left off during the regular season.
No one was more surprised than the head coach when Pierce hit four batters in the first frame alone, helping Barrington stake a 5-0 cushion, and the defending District II champs used that cushion to dispose of Darlington American, 9-4.
"That kid has been lights out all year for me," Andella stated after perhaps a five-minute chat with his squad in right field. "He's a returning All-Star; he pitched for us (Manning-Heffern Funeral Home) and led us to the league championship. I think he just felt the pressure.
"I think the name 'Barrington' got to our kids," he added, referring to the fact the same opponent had defeated Darlington in the district title tilt a year ago. "We've got three returning players from (the 2012) team, and I think they remembered what happened. It was all nerves. Never in a million years did I expect Chris to have the kind of inning he had, but that's Little League baseball."
With the defeat, Andella's bunch fell into the losers' bracket, and now will prepare to travel to Portsmouth, which suffered a 6-4 first-game defeat to Barrington on Wednesday, for a 5:45 p.m. contest on Sunday.
Actually, it looked as if DALL would assemble a rally in the top of the first (it had lost the coin flip) when starting southpaw Tucker Flint walked leadoff batter James Colman, then struck Jeremy Knox with an offering. Both moved up on a passed ball, though Flint whiffed Pierce for the initial out.
Clean-up batter Izaiah Lopez also struck out, but – when catcher Max Blane returned the throw to Flint – Colman broke for home on a delayed steal. Flint immediately returned a toss and got Colman sliding into the dish for the twin killing that ended the inning.
In the back half, Pierce hit Flint on his third offering, then walked Deven Connors before striking George Connolly to load the bags. He also hit Gavin Ridgell, plating Flint. With the bases still jammed, Blane's fielder's choice scored Connors.
Andrew D'Adamo then reached on an infield error, and – when shortstop Watson threw to the plate to cut down Ridgell's courtesy runner, Matt Culligan – it sailed over backstop Knox's head. Pierce retired Bo Vanier on a fly to center, but Sam Baldwin lifted another fly to short left, one that went for a two-run double, and Barrington had collected a 5-0 advantage.
Pierce hit his fourth and last batter, Drew Dillon, and Andella immediately replaced him with reliever Lopez. Flint, the 10th hitter in the frame, bounced to Pierce at first to bring the flurry to a halt.
While Darlington's offense couldn't provide any real test to Flint, Barrington manufactured another run in the second. The leadoff Connors raced to first on a dropped liner, stole second and tagged to third on Ridgell's fly to center.
Andella, who believed Connors had left second base before the catch, asked Lopez to throw to the bag for the umpires' appeal call; when the pitcher did, Connors hustled in on the delayed steal.
(The umps immediately told Andella and his assistants that an appeal play occurs with the ball "live," and Connors had every right to the attempt to score).
Things didn't get any better for the Pawtucketers in the third. D'Adamo sprinted to second after a dropped fly in right field, then took third on a wild pitch. Lopez fanned Jack DeLuca, but Baldwin drilled a shot over the right-field fence (perhaps 220 feet) for a two-run dinger.
Lopez managed the second out with another whiff, but Flint walloped a full-count fastball to virtually the same spot as Baldwin, and that gave Barrington a 9-0 cushion.
Flint had allowed the hosts only two batters over the minimum through the first three frames, and hadn't allowed a hit after managing two quick outs in the fourth. That, however, is when Darlington sprung to life.
Watson crushed a double to deep left, and Justin Klemanchuck drove him in with an opposite-field single to right. Trey Turgeon then walked, and the Barrington coaching staff opted for the righty Baldwin to bail it out.
Baldwin issued a walk to Trey Turgeon to load the bags, and did the same to pinch-hitter Ryan Sutherland, one that pushed across Klemanchuck. Colman responded with a ripped, ground double down the right-field line to plate both Turgeon and Andella, though the surge stopped there.
Still, DALL had sliced the deficit to 9-4.
Barrington had runners on the corners with two outs in the fourth when the elder Andella brought in Knox to close the deal, but he allowed Vanier a hit to center, one that loaded them once more.
Knox nevertheless whiffed Baldwin on a breaker to get out of the inning unscathed.
With one out in the fifth, Lopez whacked a two-bagger off the left-field fence, and Watson drew a walk, but Baldwin struck out Klemanchuck and Turgeon. He also whiffed the first two batters in the seventh before forcing Colman into a high-hopper that ended it.
All told, Flint lasted 3 2/3, allowing just two hits but three runs (all earned) and three walks while fanning seven. Baldwin, who helped himself at the plate (2-for-3, four RBI, run scored), went the final 2 1/3, yielding a pair of two-baggers and three walks with four strikeouts.
For Pierce and Lopez, they surrendered only four hits and four earned runs in their stints, though Knox
scattered just one hit and whiffed a pair. Colman finished 1-for-3 with two RBI, and Lopez and Klemanchuck both went 1-for-3 with an RBI.
"I kept thinking Chris was going to turn it around; once he hit the fourth batter (in the first), I thought, 'That's it, the nerves are getting to him,'" Coach Andella stated. "The HBPs and the errors hurt us. Those are plays we make all the time. If we re-do that first inning, we'd have been right there with them.
"Chris is that good; that's why I'm stunned," he continued. "Still, I know him; he's a great, tough kid, and I know he'll rebound. He's always money. To our credit, we fought back tough. We just ran out of innings."

Gregory Lawrence Cyr, 22, of Portsmouth, NH, died Monday January 21st.
Greg was the loving son of Mike and Faith (Sheldon) Cyr of Milford, NH. He was born in Nashua, NH on March 5, 1990. Greg passed away at The Edgewood Centre in Portsmouth after a long and challenging life due to being diagnosed with meningoencephalitis at three weeks of age.
While he was largely unable to communicate, it was always clear that Greg loved sports, visits from family and listening to music. And he could always be counted on to flash a beaming smile when he heard his mothers laugh.
Due to Gregs disabilities, he lived the bulk of his childhood at Cedarcrest in Keene, N.H. before moving to Portsmouth, where he lived for the past six years. He also lived in South Carolina and at The McGuire Memorial Home in New Brighton, Pa.
Surviving Gregory are his parents, Mike and Faith (Sheldon) Cyr of Milford, NH; his older brother, Shawn Cyr, Shawns fianc�, Cassie Barber, and their son, Cameron, (Gregs 2-year-old nephew) of Keene, NH; and his younger brother Kevin Cyr of Durham, NH.
In addition to his immediate family, Greg is survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins, mostly in the Ogdensburg, N.Y., area, where Faith grew up. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Franklyn and Kathleen Sheldon of Lisbon, N.Y.
A celebration of Gregs life was held on Saturday, January 26th at 3 p.m. in The Milford United Methodist Church, 327 North River Road, Milford, NH.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Gregs memory to: Cedarcrest Center for Children with Disabilities, 91 Maple Avenue, Keene, NH 03431 or The Edgewood Centre, 928 South Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801

Elektra "Cee Lo's Magic Moments" is more than a great holiday record — it's one of the best albums of the year.
Universal "This Christmas" by well-worn "Grease" co-stars John Travolta and Olivia Newtown-John is definitely the creepiest wingding of the holiday music season.
Capitol "Now That's What I Call Today's Christmas" includes holiday tracks by Carly Rae Jepsen, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
Verve Rod Stewart's pleasant "Merry Christmas, Baby" features a mix of holiday classics and new cuts.
Rhino Dolly Parton, America and BeBe Winans all give Chicago a hand on the 34-track "Ultimate Christmas Collection."
Universal Republic Ventura County singer Colbie Caillat's first holiday CD includes duets with Brad Paisley and Gavin DeGraw.
Warner Bros. Country king Blake Shelton sticks to a casual Dean Martin vibe on "Cheers, It's Christmas."
19 Recordings "American Idol" champ Scotty McCreery has made the country-est Christmas album of 2012. Vocally, he sounds like a cross between George Strait and Elvis Presley — and that's a very good thing.

I've recently replaced the motherboard on my computer and for some reason when installing CentOS it now shows the drive as hda instead of sda. Before replacing the motherboard (it was faulty) it showed up as sda. This wouldn't really be a problem but as the drive shows as hda the transfer speeds are also very low and CentOS installation takes nearly 2 hours!
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this? I have checked the motherboard BIOS and there aren't any setting to change the hard drive to legacy mode (IDE) etc. The motherboard does support SATA II so it's very confusing
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G41MT-D3V
Hard Drive: 1TB Samsung HD103SJ SpinPoint F3 SATA-II

After graduating from Shimane University, Rie Sasaki got her start in 2006, briefly performing as a sidewalk idol in Akihabara, Tokyo's geek district. Sidewalk idols are essentially street performers who don't ask for spare change, but hope to build a grass roots following. After that, she was scouted by an agent while in Shibuya and started working as a model and pin-up girl.
Starting in 2008, she got an online show, on which she'd answer fan mail and talk about her favorite Gundam arcade game. She appeared in image DVDs, with titles like Real Audition: Otome Anime Voice Actress or Spoil Girl.
But like so many of these bikini models, she married and decided it was time to change her image. Unlike so many of these bikini models, she decided the best way to do that was to run for office.
Sasaki is running as a candidate for the newly formed "Japan Restoration Party" (new as in launched this September) in Tokyo's 21st Ward. When asked about her pin-up past and bikini pics immortalized online, Sasaki is quoted by Daily as saying, "For me, I'm okay with it, but depending on the angle... Still, they're part of the life I've led." That seems to be a good attitude—probably the best one can have. Sasaki said she's been interested in politics for a while now. With all the old men in Japanese politics, some new blood can't hurt, right?
On Sasaki's new, politically charged website, she does apologize in her second post: While working as a pin-up model, she said she was born in 1983. This isn't true. She was actually born in 1982. "I truly apologize for this," Sasaki wrote, adding that she'd be focusing on making things better. Well, at least she admitted she hadn't been truthful. How many politicians do that?

My husband and I just purchased the latest addition to our family.. Phelix on 12/10/12. He's an APBT bully. RE/Gotti lines. We have another dog, Beatrix who is a pit bull/saint Bernard mix. Super smart and sometimes over protective, she's my guardian angel. We've had her for just over a year. Along with them we have two kittens, Jazzy boy and Tiger girl, we picked them up a month ago. And we had two chickens, Penny and Lucy. A few days ago some dogs up the road got out of their yard and killed Lucy, Penny is very sad. Chickens make very nice pets, my mom brought them from California to where we live in Oklahoma after my grandma died in June for my grandpa. Penny is the nice one and is a 'lap chicken', loves to be cuddled and flies up in your lap for lovin's. the eggs are just a bonus I got Phelix as an early Christmas present for my husband who wants to show&breed... He plans on doing weight pull with him in the future. We(I) have a lot of research to do, showing horses under saddle was my thing so I'm looking forward to this as a nice hobby with my husband. We've got a lot to learn and any advice/information is appreciated.

OtterBox already has a reputation for rugged protection. With ultra-tough, super-engineered accessories like their Defender case for Galaxy S4, iPhone 5 and more, it's a reputation that's more than earned. But today's Pure Mobile accessory of the week, the OtterBox Pursuits 40 Dry Box, takes things even further than everyday protection.
A hardcore carrying case for real adventures, the Pursuits 40 is a modern reinvention of the classic outdoorsman's dry box. And of course, being the 21st Century, that means it's designed to hold your smartphone, as well as other survival gear. It's even got a mesh panel that can accomodate a slew of phone models, from the iPhone 4S and 5, to Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4, BlackBerry handsets and way more.
With an internal volume of about 30 cubic inches, this totally waterproof case can take on a Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5 that's already in a case, with lots of room left over for other things you'll need to keep safe and dry – valuables, bandages, ID, and small electronics.
Rubber mats on the interior cushion the contents from shocks and impact, while the rubber mesh panel keeps your phone snugly in place.
And since this is after all an OtterBox case, the Pursuits 40 Dry Box is built like a fortress. This carrying case is not only completely waterproof up to 100 ft., it's also drop proof, dust proof and crush proof, tested to withstand up to 1,000 lbs. of force.
But just in case you're still worried about dropping it, the Pursuits 40 comes with carabiner loops that make it super easy to secure to a backpack or to otherwise keep close at hand.
We've already seen the level of protection OtterBox can offer when it comes to accessories for single devices, like iPhone and Galaxy Carrying cases. SO we can only assume that they've applied the same thoughtful design and rigorous testing to this larger, more robust case.
Perfect for adventurers, outdoorsy types and every kind of traveler imaginable, the Pursuits 40 Dry Box is a one-of-a-kind accessory that not only protects your smartphone the way only OtterBox could, but lets you go new places with total confidence in the safety of your valuables, electronics and survival gear. And that makes it our accessory of the week.

I was struck with a stark reminder last weekend of how good I felt when it's green and lush and there is plenty of moisture in the air. I spent a long weekend vacationing with my sons in western Montana where everyone was complaining about all the rain and moisture they continue to receive.
Two years ago, after living along the southern Oregon coast for several rainy seasons, I was really looking forward to the warmth and drier climate when I accepted a transfer with another newspaper company to Bullhead City, Ariz., and Laughlin, Nev. I had never visited this area before and like a fool, I never asked anyone what hot and dry really meant.
The day I flew out of Coos Bay, Ore. it was 62 degrees and after we landed in Las Vegas, Nev. we promptly drove south in an air-conditioned car and arrived to the hot spot of the state of Nevada. It was 128 degrees in Bullheadand I thought I was going to die. I felt as though I was inside a heater all the time.
During those extremely hot days in Arizona all I remembered was the rain on the coast I had experienced. For days and months at a time it had rained and we all complained of the dampness and the cool, ocean breezes that drifted across our towns.
I certainly went from one extreme to another. In the entire 18 months I lived in Arizona I saw it rain only one time. A dramatic thundershower hit in last August on a Sunday afternoon and I remember being the only person out in my yard loving the feeling of a good drenching downpour. Other than dodging the lighting strikes I enjoyed the feeling of a strong rain shower. It was a good thing I didn't miss it because that is the last time I saw it rain, before this past weekend in Montana.
In the seven months I have lived in Carbon County I only remember a few drops now and then. Like so many others, I wonder when are we ever going to get a rain shower.
Last Saturday my sons and I hiked three miles up into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, a remote area about 65 miles northeast of Missoula. It was a great hike and the trail meandered through lush mountain fields and high grassy meadows. The creeks and rivers were running out of their banks, murky and muddy from the rushing sediment being carried down by the raging river.
But the sun was bright and we hiked in our t-shirts enjoying the freshness of the mountain air. We put up our tents and hiked around a couple impressive waterfalls, playing with my younger son's puppy. We finally got serious about dinner around 6:30 p.m. and started the campfire and was just about to put the hamburger and potatoes in tinfoil when a large thundercloud rolled over the mountain and proceeded to drench us. It didn't take us long to retreat to the tents and there we sat for three long hours in one of the worst storms I have ever encountered. The lighting struck all around us and the thunder rattled our tents. It rained so hard that within an hour water was running through the tents and filling the campsite. I had to chuckle to myself because I had just told the boys that I was hoping I would see it rain just once on the trip.
Obviously, I got my wish.
Isn't it amazing how weather so often seems extreme to us. It doesn't seem to matter where we live we are usually getting too much or not enough of whatever it is we really want or need. It seems like when I lived in northern Montana we had too much snow and cold winter winds. When I resided in Oregon we had too much rain and too many gloomy days. This summer I am wondering if it will ever rain again.
I guess if it was as easy as asking, I'd just ask for our fair share of moisture and it would come when we needed it.

Although school is not in session, Carbon County sports teams are gearing up for their upcoming seasons which kicks off later this month.
Tryouts are scheduled to take place throughout the next several weeks and all interested athletes are encouraged to attend.
The Carbon High football team will begin mandatory practice August 11 on the high school field. According to coach Jeff Jorgensen, no athlete will be turned away and are guaranteed a spot on this year's roster.
"I don't like the term tryouts. As far as I'm concerened, if an athlete comes out and works hard and does what they are required, I don't have a problem with them being on the team," explained the coach.
Students entering ninth grade through 12th grade are encouraged to come out and begin practice starting this Monday.
Carbon High ladies volleyball tryouts will also take place beginning August 11 at 9 a.m. Any interested athletes are encouraged to attend.
Interested high school athletes who want to compete on the Carbon golf team are encouraged to participate in tryouts. Athletes may contact coach, Tony Pinedo at 637-4980 for more information.
East Carbon High School sports are also gearing up for the upcoming season. Tryouts have already began, but those interested in competing in baseball or volleyball are encouraged to contact Ryan Hepworth for more information.
Finally, seventh through ninth grade students at Mont Harmon Junior High are encouraged to attend football tryouts next week on the junior high field.
Beginning August 11 at 7 a.m., tryouts will begin. Any interested athletes who need further information may contact Joe Meanea at 613-7324.
As soon as the class bell rings later this month, fall sports will begin throughout the county.
In the meantime, interested athletes are reminded to participate in tryouts in order to compete in this year's exciting sports season.

Celia ~
After saying goodbye to Mum and Dad, I pull my trunk along the train and try to find some seats. I find an empty compartment and sit down. I'm soon joined by Jaken, a boy in Ravenclaw. "Hey," I say cheerily. I know him from our potions lessons. "How was your summer?" I ask.
He grins. "Went to the quidditch cup," he looks smugly at me and I sigh with jelousy.
"I've always wanted to go! My parents are muggles though...they don't understand the sport," I shrug and open the Daily Prohpet. "Ooh look Rita Skeeta's done a report about the dementors that've gone missing from askaban," I flock curiosly onto the page.
"Ugh," Jaken replies. "Rita Skeeta is such a liar. Just prints what she likes," he snorts but I shrug. Jack then walks in and I jump to my feet and hug him.
"Hey!" I say.
i ignore the entrance of jack and start reading a book on the history of dark arts
*Please write your characters name before starting to write*
~Jennifer POV~
Here it is. Another year of hogwarts. Probably just as boring as the other ones. Altough being near the top of the school may be good, as I can look down to people. I could do that in first year though. My tallness is scaring me.
Having not seen Cee and the rest of a gang for the whole summer due to some stupid "Ministry Job" that my day tried out for then left then tried to get back in (it's a long story), I was excited to be back again.
Also, like last year, Cee with be hanging around with Jack again. Love is so... sickening. It's like it's cute, but then it's horrible. Love confuses me.
I did my usual job of running to the platform, then jumping onto my trolley (the usual sequence) then letting Samson (my owl) fly off. I could see merlin hanging around with his parents, and Nadine was hugging her sister who had now left. It was good to be back.
My dad had made his way through the platform and came over too me.
"Honey, the job's in the bag" he said.
"Yeah, great"
"I can't believer I'll be working at the ministry!"
"I don't even care about your stupid job at the Ministry!!" I said.
"Sorry love. Ever since mum died a job has been really important and finally to get one, and it being in the ministry too, is-"
"Look, I know your happy dad, but maybe we could change the subject?" I said.
"Yes, sorry. Have a great year. I'll send you letters! I'll be able to tell you everything about my new job-"
"Dad!" I attempted to storm off, but dad held me back.
"See you Jen. Enjoy yourself." he said.
"See you Dad" I said.
That's what dad is like. All he talks about is himself. Or occasionally how I need to eat potatoes. I wish mum was still here. It's not the same without her.
I got onto the train. I looked for our normal carrage- 23. Ceelia, Jaken and Jack were in their. Jaken was reading, and Ceelia and Jack were hugging. Great.
I got into the carrage.
"JEN!!!!!!!!!!" said Cee. She left Jack and squeezed me so tight I couldn't breathe.
"Ok, ok, calm down!" I giggled, as cee attempted to lift me.
"How's your summer been?" Said Cee, "I haven't seen you for months"
"Yeah, dad got this stupid job with the ministry. It's been all he's been talking about for weeks," I said.
"Well that's great to hear! said Cee, "sit down"
OH MY GAMMON THAT IS LONG :l
Haha that's cool. It was a good post!! Plus...OH MY GAMMON
Celia -
I let Jen fall onto the chair and we all start chatting. We buy a load of sweets from the trolley and begin to stuff ourselves. "So Rita Skeeta thinks the dementors were sent away from askaban..." I stick a bertie bots every flavour bean in my mouth. "Omg they were sent from the ministry! That's what Skeeta reckons anyway..."
"Celia!" Jack, Jacken and Jen cry at the same time. I look up over the Daily Prophet. "Ritza Skeeta writes rubbish," Jen says, smiling. I shrug.
"You don't know that,"
"Yeah I do!" Jen laughs and I supress a grin.
"You know she actually wrote some good stuff about bertie bots every flavour beans," I say distractedlly as I stuff another bean in my mouth. "Ugrh," I say. "It's like...concrete flavour!" they all laugh and Jacken snatches the Daily Prophet.
"Says here concrete flavour doesn't exist, Cece," says Jacken. I grunt and shrug.
~Jennifer POV~
"Yes, but this is Rita Skeeta we're talking about. Not Mr Truth guy," I said. "Pass it here a second Jaken"
I took the newspaper off Jaken and looked at the Ministry section. The job my dad was doing at the ministry was "Magical creatures department." Part of his new amazing job was something to do with fighting dememtors. I think that, anyway.
The Ministry has sent dementors away from azkaban to give the prison better sercurity. The Minister of magical creatures says "They were doing a rubbish job anyway. And they were practically killing people. I got rid of them."
"wait guys, this acctually might be true" I said.
"What? There really is a concrete flavoured bertie bot?" asked Celia.
"No- the dementer thing. My dad said something about the Minister of magical creatures resigning because of something to do with dementors... He's taking his job! So dad can't wait to get dementors back, then he'll invade Chainby with them, get minister of magic, bring mum back, boast, boast more, become minister of magic, rule the earth, and aventually die!"
"Whatty-what what what what what?" said Jack.
"Nothing..." I said, "just- maybe we all under estimate Rita Skeeter."
i put my feet up on the opposite chair and started whistling. I paused for a moment to state out loud "i dont believe a thing that woman says, never have done, never will" " everything she writes, its all lies, you shouldnt listen to such nonsense" my statement got the attention of the whole carrage. "so, anyone want some sweets, dont think i can handle anymore", i then opened the window and threw out my book! "Rubbish old book, dont even know why i was reading it, not much of a page turner i have to say" smiling to myself i closed the window and went back to whistling.
Oooh! I love Harry Potter! Name: Lola White Age:12 Wand: Phoenix feather and Dragon wing! Blood Status: Pure! Favourite lesson: Care of Magical Creatures! Appearence: Brown hair, Blue eyes! and Very tall for her age! Personality: Kind to all! and loves animals! Relationship status: none! House: Gryfindor! Quidditch: Doesn't play!
Celia -
"Omg Jen you never listen to me! I told you Rita Skeeta's brilliant!" I say. Everyone snorts and ignores me. "Um...Jacken, you know you just threw a book out the window right?" I supress a grin.
"Yeah. It was a bit boring. Not my kind of thing," he shrugs.Jen laughs.
"Do you-oh hi guys" Lola's voice came from the compartment door. We all stare at her. "How are you guys?" she asks, coming to sit with us.
"Good," we all chorus.
"Do you know how much longer it is until we get to Hogwarts?" she asks.
"Ages probably." I say.
i pull my wand out from under my cloak, twisting it and turning it in my hands i attempt to translate the ancient text engraved all around it. "Do any of you know what this says?" I hand it to the others who shrug and one after the other say "not sure". They hand it back to me and i say "ill have to ask dumbledor or someone when we get to hogwarts. My grandparents engraved it on there years ago but they are dead now so i am clueless as to what it says"
" if you dont mind, i think im gonna take a quick nap" i say as i slump against the wall and close my eyes.
"ugh.." I groaned, "I so regret not getting a chocolate frog. I'm starving!"
"I've got some!" Smiled Lola "my mum won a competition and we were sent loads! You should have seen there were frogs everywhere!"
"oh, thanks Lola!" I said as Lola handed a frog.
I opened the packaging. There was the frog, asleep, and next to it there was a card. I held the frog still and saw that the face on the card was familiar. "The minister of magical creatures!" I exclaimed.
"What's so good about him?" Said jaken
"nothing," I said, it's just my dad-"
the picture on the card changed, and I saw a rather smug-looking photo of my dad on the card.
"What the heck?" Said Celia, why is your dad their?"
"didn't you know? He's the new minister of magical creatures"
"really?" Said celia, "dose't that mean that he's in charge of dementors-"
"We're here!" Said Lola cheerfully. She skipped off the train and ran up to a rather wet looking Hagrid, who's feet had grown after the summer and whose beard had gained another sausage.
He waved at us and called out "you guys ok? 'Ad a nice summer"
the others all nodded.
Celia _
"Jen, that's great. He looks amazing on that chocolate frog card! Omg you can ask him how they work...I've always wondered," I laugh and hop onto a carrage with her, Jack and Jacken. Jack grabs my hand as we sit down and a bunch of fluttery nerves fly into my system.
"He's so pleased..." Jen said slowly. I nod.
"He should be! Ministry of magical creatures...I mean - no offence - I hate some creatures and think some of them...like Hagrids Blast Ended Skrewts or whatever they were, were horrid! But it's very high up job," I blabber, instantly boring everyone. I always talk too much. "He should be proud," I add, as if I haven't already covered that subject.
The carrage ride is quicker than it normally is and I find myself rushed towards the Gryffindor table before I can say hello to anyone.
*Lola* After I had eaten I said to Jen " Have you read the Wizards Guide to Magical Creatures?" "I might not be a Wizard but I find it fascinating!"
I patted the Thestral on the back. I dislike them though- they always remind me of how mum died. It has been 7 years since I saw her. I've still never told Dad or Pixie (my little sister in year 6) That I saw her die in the basement. And since then life's been a misery
I rushed for the hall, but then remembered something- I was a prefect. I ran back towards the lake where I met a flock of year 7's. Hagrid was there, taking all the boats and giving torches.
"Oh, 'ello Jen! I see your a prefect then?" said Hagrid joyfully.
"Yeah" I said, " Who else is doing it?"
"Erm, I think you, Alice, Fergus and Louise from Gryfindoor. Why?"
"Just wandering" I said.
"Well, that's good. You'll 'ave to take 'em to the hall seein' as no one else 'as turned up. Right you lot, follow Jen"
It was scary. They all followed me. It was like wherever I went, they would go. It was so annoying.
Once we'd reached the school gates, I heard Hagrid call "Just go straight in Jen!"
Opening the gates was a bit of trouble, as the little people following me cornered my every step. After finally getting into the school, someting else happened. One of the years 7's had fallen down the steps into the school. I could tell that their blood was not pure. He was in tears and claimed that he couldn't move. I'd done this spell before.
I took out my wand, and cried "Imfodushious!"
The child lay there, his eyes closed, his mouth open, and his tears drowned.
"Is he ok?" Someone asked.
All of a sudden, the boys eyes opened and he was standing up. The year 7's clapped and gasped, as if I was some magician.
Well, I suppose I was.
i sat down at the ravenclaw table and began chatting to my friends. Some of them started showing off spells that they had tried to learn over the summer. I showed off a trick of my own by making a magic eagle appear and fly arouns the room. It almost took one of the tescher's hat right of their head.
she yelled to which everybody looked round, "who was that!" unlucky for me some kid in slitherin pointed me out. "Jaken Parker! Detention! Now in my office!" I had to walk out of the hall occumpanied by the teacher and my friends that were also caught.
How come nobody's posted in a while?
Sorry I've had loads if homework!
I had exams, i still managed to post, it only takes a min or two
I'm probably just not as good at getting through homework then!
"Blimey!" I gasped to Celia "A detention within the first hour? That's gotta be a record?"
"No, it's not, actually," said Cee, "Sam Perkins had one in the first 5 minutes for shoving a first year student in the lake"
"Oh yeah. That was when you were year 7!" I said.
"Yes. And you were year nine. You laughed!"
"Yeah, but it was pretty funny. The look on your face- anyone would have thought you wanted to run away!" I said.
"But it's pretty scary when someone is bullied like that! I thought I'd be next!"
"Aww, little Cee cee! Sam Perkins was expelled for bullying anyway!"
"I know, but-" Celia stopped. The headteacher, Balondrobe, stood up.
"I have an announcement." Said the rather tired looking head.
And this is what Balondrobe said:
"I am afraid to say that this year, the dark arts lessons are cancelled"
There was an outburst of groans and complaints- food was even thrown and some students walked out.
"This subject has been removed from the school due to too much damage, injury and bad attitude. Replacing the Dark arts will be Magical exercise."
Some people cheered at this, though most of the pupils were upset.
"But, of course" started Balondrobe, "A new subject means a new teacher. Everyone please welcome professor Eggsy!"
A tall, hairy, rather young looking man was stood at the door. He had short hair on his head, hairy legs and most of all, he had only had one eye.
"We MUST start a dark arts club" I muttered to Celia. Cee nodded and looked at Eggsy.
"But we have to get rid of him first" said Cee.
She was right.
hey can i sitll join? or did you guys stopped
I love this story! You guys are so creative!

CrockPot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Day 357.
It's the first day of Winter Vacation, and the girls and I are sick. Which means this is a very. normal. year. for us.
We'll be fine. We've got a bunch of books and videos from the library, the good tissue with the built-in Vicks, and 4 quarts of spinach artichoke dip.
This recipe comes from Joey in Minnesota who has a nineteen-month-old and is pregnant. She needs a juggling book for Christmas.
The Ingredients.
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (9-ounce) bag baby spinach, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 T jalapeno slices, chopped
The Directions.
I used a 4-quart crockpot. Drain and chop artichoke hearts, and add to the crockpot. Scrunch the spinach and chop it the best you can---mostly try to get the long stems off if you can. Add to the crockpot. Add mayo, sour cream, and chopped jalapenos. Top with 1/2 cup each shredded mozzarella and Parmesan.
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, or high for 1. Stir. The spinach should begin to welt. If it hasn't, cook some more. When the spinach is totally wilted, take the lid off and add the other 1/2 cup of each cheese, and let it melt while the lid remains off. The spinach will have created some liquid that doesn't really need to be in there.
Serve with your favorite chips, sliced veggies, or bread cubes.
The Verdict.
I liked this a lot. I couldn't taste the jalapenos at all and whined that it "wasn't working" (I wanted my sinuses to drain. lovely image, sorry. but that's what I was going for) but Adam and the kids could taste them and thought it was plenty spicy. I think though, I'd add many more jalapeno slices next time and maybe switch out the mayo for a half-block of cream cheese.

Oh, I'm with you girl...no to the neti pot. That thing freaks me out!
But yes to the crock pot and yes to this!! And you answered my question in the recipe--I do not like mayo and to swap it out for cream cheese is FAB! Who can go wrong with cream cheese, I mean really.
Feel better!

Looks great! I'm gonna put that on the menu for NYE.

This may sound silly... but what in the heck is a neti pot?
- December 22, 2008 at 11:56 AM
- Jane-Jane said...
oh this sounds tasty!
is it possible to re-heat the dip without ruining it?
and...can I use MWhip instead of the Mayo. Just trying to use what I have in house.

Hi Jaden,
a neti pot is this weird thing you stick in one side of your nose to irrigate your sinuses.
Jane, Miracle Whip would work just fine, and I think reheating would work, too!
- December 22, 2008 at 12:38 PM
- Jane-Jane said...
oh...you need to use the neti pot! Husband used one today before heading to bed...we got a cold hanging out in our cold this week too.
Jaden: a neti pot is a device that is designed to flush your sinus passages. google it for best description.

This is my favorite dip. I usually use frozen spinach though. I have used mayo or cream cheese and both are very yummy.
Hope you feel better soon and the neti-pot is awesome. Try it!!

That looks amazing...I wish I had stumbled upon your blog sooner in the year than this, as this is an absolutely amazing idea! I love my crockpot too...it's nice after a long day at work to come home to a meal that's already cooked! :-)

Yummy. I love spinach artichoke dip. I had been wondering if there was some way to make it in the crockpot (yey! thank you!) or at least keep it warm in one while serving. I am making this for Christmas Eve! Mine calls for mayo and cream cheese, and I use the light versions of both and it's still just as tasty. I think sour cream sounds yummy too.

This sounds delish! I know you will be relieved when 2009 comes, but we will be sad... hope you will still toss in any new recipes you try in the future!

- Denise said...
Yummy! You are almost done. You deserve a medal. Next year do you plan to do 365 days without ever touching a crockpot?
Anyway, I'd love to try this one in the crock pot for Christmas.
Neti away. I LOVE mine!

My heart is singing right now. Seriously, is there anything better than spinach artichoke dip? My 2 year old hates "lettuce" and she will eat s/a dip til it comes out her ears.
- December 22, 2008 at 7:12 PM
- Shirley said...
I was surprised to see this recipe called for fresh spinach vs frozen. Cool. Hard to beat spinach artichoke dip. It's so easy to make gluten free, but I have yet to find one restaurant that serves a GF version. Sigh.
You can achieve the same effect with a dropper, you don't have to use a neti pot actually. If you don't want to do that, boil some water with cayenne pepper in it and stick your head/face over it with a dish towel over your head giving you a hood effect and inhale--DEEPLY. Tried and true for me.
- December 22, 2008 at 7:47 PM
If the jalapenos aren't working, make something with wasabi or chinese mustard. Those usually have the desired effect.

i love your blog!! but i do have a question you and since your the expert crockpotter i hope you can help me. i want to make monkey bread for christmas morning. if i put the bread in the crockpot and put it on low when i go to bed will it turn out? or iam i just stuck to putting it in the oven in the morning and waiting?? thanks so much.

I made some spinach dip yesterday (in the oven at least) and it uses alfredo pasta sauce instead of mayo. It was VERY good and I'm sure it could be done in the crockpot too.
I also used garlic in a jar so that I could skip all the garlic part. Next time I'd probably use 3 "cloves" instead of 4.
Artichoke & Spinach Dip
4 cloves garlic
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10 ounce) container Alfredo-style pasta sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place garlic in a small baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 20 to 30 minutes, until soft. Remove from heat. When cool enough to touch, squeeze softened garlic from skins.
In an 8x8 inch baking dish, spread the roasted garlic, spinach, artichoke hearts, Alfredo-style pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and cream cheese.
Cover and bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until cheeses are melted and bubbly. Serve warm.

Hi Beth,
I have the stuff for monkey bread in the house, too. I think we should both stick to using the oven. I don't have time to go to the store to get more bread-making-stuff (since we're GF, I have to make the dough) and test it out before Thurs. I have no idea how long it will take, and we're having overnight company and I don't want to chance screwing it up. :-)
I will do a monkey bread at some point and post the results, though; you are not the only one to ask, and I'm curious, too.

You really ought to try the neti pot. It's gross, but it works. If you are easily disgusted, stop reading this comment now, but I went from blowing this hideous red-green mixture out of my nose to blowing clear after rinsing with the neti pot. Sorry, I know that's truly disgusting, but I'm just saying it works!

Do you think this would freeze well or would the cheese go weird? We LOVE spinach dip and I would love to freeze it in small batches to have whenever!

I had so much spinach in the garden last year I didn't know what to do with all of it. I'll use this next summer!

Wait a second! Are you not doing 365 crockpot again next year? NOoooooooOOOO! I just found you a couple of weeks ago, and I love your site! Please keep it going!
I don't mean that to sound all creepy and stalkerish, I promise.
Anyway, I'm doing this here recipe for Christmas day at the in-laws. I am excited to eat it with corn chips, bread cubes, and pretty much just a spoon if I have to. And I totally would. Thanks for all your hard work!

I made this last night and it was really good. I doubled it for a big Christmas Eve party and I did half mayo and half cream cheese like you suggested and it was wonderful! I don't like very spicy things, so I only used 3 T of Jalapeno's and it was plenty spice for me. All my guests said it was perfect and they wouldn't have wanted more. Thanks for the recipe. This will be used many more times in the future. The Alfredo sauce sounds yummy in it too! I might have to try that.

ohhh. I am so gonna try this for new years. thanks fo all your yummy recipes.

- December 26, 2008 at 11:28 PM
i made this for our christmas grazing session that begins after we open presents and it was gone in less than an hour!!! YUM-O! I used the cream cheese instead of mayo and only 2 T jalapeno ( i'm a mild salsa girl! - i thought it had enough kick to it ) another great recipe!!!! thanks!
- December 28, 2008 at 9:13 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...

I cannot wait to make this recipe for a party!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed your blog this year!! :-)
- December 29, 2008 at 5:09 AM
This was the first of your recipes that I have tried and I absolutely loved it! Kids had no interest in trying the "slimy green stuff" which is hilarious because they both usually love spinach. I too thought that it needed a little more heat. We bought the tame jalapeños in a jar instead of the hot ones :( We are excited to try many more recipes.

I have made this TWICE NOW and I love the idea of switching the mayo out for cream cheese! It makes about two quarts after it cooks down, but I definitely needed the four quart one to get it all in there.
I could swim in a giant tub of this stuff, it's so good! I can't make it again until we're having people over, or I will eat it ALL.

I've discovered 2 things that help make the perfect spinach & artichoke dip: trader joe's frozen artichoke hearts (which taste like artichoke, not brine...not that there's anything wrong with salty-sour brine and Greek Loaf Ricotta. YUM. Greek Loaf Ricotta is harder, saltier, and just generally yummier than Italian Ricotta. I add that, and just barely any cheddar or mozzarella cheese, and it's heavenly. Best thing: the leftovers are good cold or lukewarm, too, it just changes the emphasis of the flavor...Mmmmm...
Just now discovered your blog...nice, I have 365 recipes to view!
- January 7, 2009 at 2:09 PM
I love this dip. I made it over the holidays and took it as my dish to all the parties we went to- it was a big hit. Sometimes I make it with asparagus instead of artichokes and I always use low-fat or fat-free dairy and it comes out fantastic. I also do the cream cheese instead of the mayo....

I wish I would have found your blog earlier! I love this recipe and cannot wait to try some of the others!
- February 2, 2009 at 6:28 PM
This was a delicious dip! I added some extra pepperoni just because I love it so much. Also, the pepperoni I bought was spiced with tabasco sauce so it gave the dip a little spice. If you can't find that kind of pepperoni, you could just add a couple of drops of tabasco sauce. Great recipe! Thank you!

After you cook it in the crockpot, how long can you leave it on low? I want to serve it in the crockpot but don't want to ruin it? Any tips? Thanks!!!
I just got your book (tired of taking laptop with me in the kitchen to cook) and I love it!!! I am soo happy to have found someone who is gluten free with good recipes! Before your site I kept eating GF that tasted like cardboard, gross!

Hi Jessica,
I usually scoop the dip out and serve it in a bowl. If you want to serve it out of the crock and you don't have a "warm" setting, keep the lid off, and keep an eye on it and stir regularly. As soon as guests have gotten most of their fill, unplug it. Even on a low setting, the crock is still cooking, and you can risk burning the bottom of the dip.

I just made this for the Super Bowl earlier tonight, and everyone loved it! I definitely enjoyed this recipe, and will use it again someday! It was also really easy to put together. I have a 6 quart crock pot, and it was ready in less than 2 hours. I followed all of the directions, except for that I used half a block of cream cheese instead of the mayo and I also added a teaspoon of minced garlic and sprinkled some black pepper on top to give it a little more flavor. Thank you for this recipe, it was perfect!

I wanted to report I did a variation - which turned out AWESOME!! I used one can of chopped spinach, one jar of fire roasted peppers (chopped), mexican cheese (which looks and smells like parmesan), a white mix of cheeses that included mozzeralla, and a whole jalepeno. As you can tell, I just made a quick run to the Mexican grocery store and improvised with what was available - no artichokes. I also used the half a block of cream cheese and no mayo. Used mexican sour cream, which is much richer. Holy freaking cow!! I agree, I couldn't even taste the jalapeno. Taking leftovers to party tonight. Yay!

Video: Cynthia Epps sister speaks in court
BUFFALO, NY-- 2 On Your Side cameras were allowed in Erie County Court Friday as a Buffalo man was sentenced for a cold case murder that took place nearly 20 years ago.
James Fountain was sentenced to 23 years to life in prison for the 1994 killing of Cynthia Epps.
The 29-year-old victim had been stabbed multiple times and was nearly decapitated.
Her sister, who spoke out in court, says she does not harbor any ill will against Fountain.
Fountain was arrested last year after cold case homicide detectives matched his DNA found at the crime scene to him.

On Friday, June 28, President Obama and the Department of Health and Human Services made it clear that private business owners, whether their businesses are explicitly religious or not, will not be exempt from ObamaCare's stipulation mandating that employers provide contraceptive coverage for their employees.
On Tuesday, in response to the administration's position, the spokespersons of a variety of religious denominations assembled for a conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. They released an open letter addressed to the Department of Health and Human Services in which they implored officials to exempt "any organization or individual that has religious or moral objections" to ObamaCare's contraceptive mandate.
The letter, entitled "Standing Together for Religious Freedom," garnered thousands of signatures from religious groups from around the country. "We write as an informal and diverse group of religious leaders, theologians, lay practitioners and community servants," the letter begins. "We believe the doctrines of our respective faiths require something of us beyond the walls of our churches, synagogues, temples, and other places of worship. Those faith convictions manifest themselves through our daily interactions among family, neighbors, strangers and institutions."
The letter continues, referring to America as "unique among the nations of the world" in its defense of "the self-evident freedom of all people to exercise their faith in accordance with the dictates of their consciences." This freedom, though, "is under threat."
"Through its contraceptive coverage mandate," the letter reads, "the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) continues to breach universal principles affirmed and protected by the U.S. Constitution and other federal laws."
The nation's religious leaders said that while "the mandate is a specific offense" to liberty of conscience, "it represents a greater fundamental breach of conscience by the federal government."
The signatories insist that not all of them are doctrinally opposed to the use of contraception. Those who are not so opposed nevertheless resist the mandate because they believe that it is an "encroachment on the conscience of our fellow citizens." They write: "Whether or not we agree with the particular conscientious objection is beside the point. HHS continues to deny many Americans the freedom to manifest their beliefs through practice and observance in their daily lives."

Belovedby Toni Morrison
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Toni Morrison--author of Song of Solomon and Tar Baby--is a writer of remarkable powers: her novels, brilliantly acclaimed for their passion, their dazzling language and their lyric and emotional force, combine the unassailable truths of experience and emotion with the vision of legend and imagination.
It is the story--set in post-Civil War Ohio--of Sethe, an escaped slave who has risked death in order to wrench herself from a living death; who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad: a woman of "iron eyes and backbone to match." Sethe lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing intruder who calls herself Beloved.
Sethe works at "beating back the past," but it is alive in all of them. It keeps Denver fearful of straying from the house. It fuels the sadness that has settled into Baby Suggs' "desolated center where the self that was no self made its home." And to Sethe, the past makes itself heard and felt incessantly: in memories that both haunt and soothe her...in the arrival of Paul D ("There was something blessed in his manner. Women saw him and wanted to weep"), one of her fellow slaves on the farm where she had once been kept...in the vivid and painfully cathartic stories she and Paul D tell each other of their years in captivity, of their glimpses of freedom...and, most powerfully, in the apparition of Beloved, whose eyes are expressionless at their deepest point, whose doomed childhood belongs to the hideous logic of slavery and who, as daughter, sister and seductress, has now come from the "place over there" to claim retribution for what she lost and for what was taken from her.
Sethe's struggle to keep Beloved from gaining full possession of her present--and to throw off the long, dark legacy of her past--is at the center of this profoundly affecting and startling novel. But its intensity and resonance of feeling, and the boldness of its narrative, lift it beyond its particulars so that it speaks to our experience as an entire nation with a past of both abominable and ennobling circumstance.
In Beloved, Toni Morrison has given us a great American novel.
Toni Morrison was awarded the 1988 Pulitzer Prize in Literature for Beloved.

NORTH PROVIDENCE – An unidentified 28-year-old man was struck by a truck and killed on Route 146 South Wednesday after an incident near the Mineral Spring Avenue on-ramp that slowed travel on the road for more than hour.
State Police confirmed that the pedestrian, who had apparently parked a car along the side of the highway and stepped into the travel lane before being hit by an 18-wheel tractor trailer, was transported by rescue to Rhode Island Hospital where he later died of traumatic injuries, according to State Police Capt. Robert S. Wall, District A commander.
The accident occurred just north of the Mineral Spring Avenue on ramp, according to Wall. Read the full story in Thursday's newspaper.

Submission Live coding: A 3D DNA strand->
descubes writes: "Old timers may remember Logo, an interactive and graphical development environment that made it possible to explore ideas very quickly and made it fun to discover programming. A recently posted live coding tutorial shows the same basic idea applied to interactive 3D. In the video, an animated strand of DNA is constructed step by step simply by typing a simple script and looking at the result in real-time."
