Frank Miller's Sin City
****/**** Image A Sound A Extras A
starring Jessica Alba, Benicio Del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen
screenplay by Robert Rodriguez, based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller
directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez
by Walter Chaw Until Frank Miller's Sin City (hereafter Sin City), maverick Mexican director Robert Rodriguez frustrated the hell out of me: here's this guy with all the talent in the world--an eye, an ear, an internal metronome as unerring as a clock tick--making incoherent movies literally without finished screenplays. Falling off high wires without nets and trying to look cool doing it--it ain't smooth, man, it's arrogance and it's misplaced. I thought he'd spent himself on flotsam like the last two Spy Kids flicks, thought he'd really screwed the pooch on a fiasco like Once Upon a Time In Mexico, on which he mistook Sergio Leone's formalist genre Diaspora for a mess of ideas trailing camera flourishes. But here, right before he unleashes some 3-D thing about a shark boy, Rodriguez slides in a movie for which he resigned from the Directors' Guild of America just so he could credit comic book legend Frank Miller as his co-director. Here, in Sin City, is what Robert Rodriguez can do with brutal, draconian structure (what's harsher than the cell of a comic-book panel?); here, finally, is productive fruit from his reputation as a rebel without a crew. Here's Sin City down low, on the QT, and very, hush hush: the most anti-Hollywood Hollywood picture since Kill Bill, and a film that, likewise, feels like some kind of miracle it was ever produced, much less released.

Author Donna Labermeier wants her three-book series,The Healers Triology, to spread "positive energy" to teens, libraries, and schools everywhere. (Images courtesy of D. Labermeier)
MONTGOMERY, Ohio - Cincinnati and the greater Tri-State region are home to people who excel in artistic and other creative disciplines. Each week, we'll focus on a creative individual who is bringing new perspectives to our lives and enriching our cultural diversity.
Author Donna Labermeier wants her three-book series,The Healers Triology, to spread positive energy to teens, libraries, and schools everywhere. That's why she is sponsoring a $25,000 teen reading contest.
Become a WCPO Insider to learn more about the contest and how Labermeier found healing and inspiration through the written word.

Who: Donna Labermeier What: Self-published author Where: Montgomery, Ohio Latest: "The Healers: Waters of Life" Greatest: The Healers Trilogy $25,000 Fight for Teen Literacy Project
Author Donna Labermeier wants her three-book series ,The Healers Triology, to spread positive energy to teens, libraries, and schools everywhere. That's why she is sponsoring a $25,000 Teen Reading Contest.
From now until May 16, students who read one or both of the first two books ("The Healers" or "The Healers: Waters of Life") can qualify to win cash or prizes for themselves, their schools, or their libraries. All they have to do is create a billboard, video, speech, essay, poem, song, or commercial based on the book and its characters.
The Healers Trilogy is a young-adult fantasy adventure series about a group of teenage heroes who live in separate countries but share a common destiny to heal the world. The first two books are available as in a paperback form or Kindle edition on Amazon. A paperback version of "The Healers: Waters of Life" can be ordered through the Barnes & Noble website. Donna plans to release the third book in the next few months.
The Fight for Teen Literacy
Free copies (or downloads) of Donna Labermeier's first two books are available to any teen, school, or library that wants to enter the Teen Reading Contest.
Labermeier said the contest has already attracted many submissions from readers and positive feedback from teachers and librarians.
Some entries can be viewed on The Healers Trilogy Facebook page, including the poem "Listen," by a student at a Michigan high school and a portrait painting by a student at the Zionsville Middle School in Indiana.
"I have been completely blown away by the creativity and originality of the entries," Labermeier said. "It makes my heart feel good that kids are using this platform to show who they are and to express themselves."
She believes that kids are relating to the characters in the book who have talents and abilities they must develop in order to see how strong and powerful they actually can be.
Labermeier came up with the idea for the contest after researching trends in literacy and taking note of the school fundraising projects her children were bringing home.
"So I thought the contest would be a great way to help get young people excited about reading, while helping schools and libraries financially," Labermeier said. "Through my own journey as an author, I had this great need to express who I truly was. I believe we all have this need inside of us. So, I think it is important to encourage young people to express themselves, too. Their uniqueness needs to be nurtured and celebrated."
During this long winter, Donna has seen an uptick in contest activity after students have had snow days. She believes reading books or working on creative projects can be a better way to beat cabin fever than sitting in front of the TV, iPad, or computer.
Writing to heal
Labermeier is not one of those writers who always dreamed of writing novels. Although she earned a degree in English literature from Vanderbilt University in 1992, she worked in the investment and banking industry before choosing to stay home to raise her children in 2003.
Labermeier began writing "The Healers Trilogy" toward the end of 2009. At that point in her life, she was devoting a lot of her time caring for young children and aging parents.
"I was losing myself and my identity," she said. "I was really searching for a creative outlet—something that would let me express myself and be meaningful to me. I also knew in my heart that there was something else I was meant to do with my life to make a difference on a broader scale."
During a trip to Arizona, Labermeier was exposed to the concepts of energy medicine and energy healing. While she was fascinated by the notion that we all have the power to heal ourselves and one another, she didn't really test the theories until she became quite ill a few months later.
"I was taking antibiotics and nothing seemed to be working. So, I was fearful," Labermeier said. "One night, it occurred to me that there must be a way to heal myself."
As soon as she made up her mind, she said, "The thoughts just
started flooding in, including the descriptions of my characters and all of the amazing detail for my initial book. It came in with such clarity. I had never experienced anything like it."
Once she started writing, Labermeier said, she got well and hasn't been sick since.
When it came time to publish her first manuscript, she weighed the pros and cons of submitting it to a publisher or publishing the book herself. Although she generated some interest from traditional imprints, Labermeier ultimately chose to self-publish. She used a firm that helps independent authors with editing, proofreading, formatting, cover design, distribution, and publicity.
With self-publishing, "I have so much more control over the whole process: when it's sold, where it's sold, and how long it's sold," the author said. As a first-time novelist, she believes it's unlikely she would have been able to conduct the national teen literacy project.
All authors must be actively involved in book promotion, whether it's self published or produced by a traditional publisher. Labermeier seems to have a knack for promotion. In addition to working with publicists and launching the teen literacy project, she has contributed blogs to The Huffington Post once a month for the past two years. Although she writes her essays on The Huffington Post to inspire adults, the exposure has given her greater recognition as a writer.
"It's all good," Labermeier said. "It's about putting positive energy out there in the world." She believes "All creative expression is terrific, meaningful, and special. We need to celebrate and encourage that with our kids."

Charleston Southern makes 2 moves
Thursday, August 2, 2012
Charleston Southern announced two moves within its golf programs Monday.
Matthew Cram-Smith, who served as an assistant for the Buccaneers' men's and women's teams last season, was promoted to head women's coach. Mike Wilson, the men's head coach, was named director of golf and will oversee both programs.
"I greatly appreciate the opportunity that has been extended to me and especially look forward to continuing to work with and learn from Mike Wilson," Cram-Smith said. "I believe my own experiences as a college player and professional have prepared me to lead these talented players in their own competitive careers."
Said Wilson: "It is a great honor. . . . My goal is to work with our women's coach and student-athletes in trying to build the strongest golf programs in the Big South Conference."

They are ugly and distracting. They may be for a good cause - but I already hate seeing them. Y'all should have stuck with the banner in the Market, and left it at that imho. That, at least, is classy and fairly well handled. These player-worn ribbons are crass and tacky.
Not to mention that since we have no idea of where the money spent on the ribbons, 100 TP, is going. If it's going to the charity, Turbine, then kudos but let us know in plain language. If not, then it's lining Turbine coffers - and shame on you for manipulating a tragedy for gain. Is Turbine doing that? I dunno... they haven't said one way or the other. They should.
Hate on me all you like for saying so - but I had to speak my mind.
The Ribbons are a lousy and inelegantly executed idea. Like a lot of Turbine ideas of late.

The hotel staff were very friendly, and were always available if needed. The initial price is low, but if you need a ride to the airport, or even wifi in your room, it was 6 pounds for these services, each. There was free wifi available from the lounge, but if you wanted it in your room this was a separate charge. I've never heard of this at any other hotel. Overall the hotel was a good experience. The staff are friendly and helpful and it is clearly a family-run business.

Only a one night stay which was very comfortable. Staff responded to request. Had an old cottage vibe. My first time in London so not much to compare it too. Not sure what amenities surrounded the area, I arrived after dark and didn't see much in the area. Service to and from the airport worked out well. All things considered, I liked the room which was clean. Appreciated the quietness and privacy. Felt safe. Priced okay for the accommodations and I would stay again and suggest to others.

Thomas Cole was an American artist. He is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School, an American art movement that flourished in the mid-19th century. Cole's Hudson River School, as well as his own work, was known for its realistic and detailed portrayal of American landscape and wilderness, which feature themes of romanticism. [ - ]


text: Legendary blues star Bb King planned to become a preacher - until he realised he could earn more money as a blues star. The veteran songwriter and guitarist, who made his 10,000th performance at his New York City club last month (APR06), admits money and respect played a large part in his choice of career. He says, "I wanted to be a gospel singer and preacher like our pastor was. "The first electric guitar I heard was played by my pastor in church. But the money wasn't right. "When I would sing gospel, the people would simply pat me on the head. When I sang the blues, people would give me money."

- First, move away from a punitive model based on threats to withhold funding. This should be replaced by a participatory model – such as support and incentives for school employees, parents and community members to collaborate together on resolving educational problems.
- Second, encourage states and local communities to adopt curriculum standards "that include a conscious and substantive focus on developing the deliberative skill and dispositions required of democratic citizenship."
- Third, curtail the privatization of public education resources. Instead, build up democratic values by holding schools receiving public funds accountable to the public through democratically elected school boards and other democratic institutions.
. . .a pupil attitude factor, which appears to have a stronger relationship to achievement than do all the "school" factors together, is the extent to which an individual feels that he has some control over his own destiny. James Coleman, 1966

Corporate Education's Anti-Democratic Effects
3 comments:
- Mary11:37 PM
The problem here is that turning anything corporate runs the risk of a system being too controlling and leaving out other stakeholders. Honestly, it's a very bad idea to keep parents and plan providers like prudential life out in the cold.ReplyDelete
Here is another classic example of good intentions, bad execution. Washington should've just opted to give some leeway to local education officials to keep some of their capabilities in having local control over how their respective education systems work. Putting forth a nationalized system is good, but keeping the localized setup out is bad (sometimes you have to add local flare to a national edict to suit the needs of a particular demographic).ReplyDelete

I switched from an Olympus OM SLR to Sony FD 81 a few years ago and to FD90 about a year ago. One has to wait too long to get pictures bsck from film cameras - with Sony cameras one can get results in about a minute at times. The lithium battery is great. Macrophotography is outstanding. Picture quality not too bad - for macro great
Hard to see what one is suposedly aiming at under certain light conditions. A hot shoe for additional flash would be helpful. On whole, quite pleased with the camera.

Yankees Defraud Fans Over Open Affordable Seats
The Yankees have already screwed the average fan numerous times, most recently by trying to move everything in season ticket packages, and not opening up single game sales until less than 2 weeks before opening day. Well, they've added a new wrinkle to their plot to separate New Yorkers from their cash: outright lying about cheap seats not being available.
Here's the short story: don't ask for any seats less than $375, because you'll be told they're all sold out. They're lying to you. It's a particularly insidious and illegal way to sell their most expensive tickets.
For the long story, which I hope reads extra bold because I'm pounding the keyboard that hard in my anger, meet me after the jump.

Why Trust the Attorneys at Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C.
At Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. we treat our clients like family. Our clients are not simply a claim number nor file. We understand that a serious injury effects not just the person, but impacts the entire family. We are here to help make a difficult and frustrating situation easier. At Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. we are honored to have been chosen to represent our clients for the trust and value they have placed in us.
A serious injury causes a drastic change in one's life. The drastic change could be your health, your financial status and/or your family. If that injury was the result of someone else's negligent actions then it is reasonable for you to pursue monetary compensation for the suffering you are facing. At Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C., we believe every client deserves quality legal counsel and a fair chance in the courtroom.
The firm has developed a long and successful track record throughout the years. Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. has a great deal of experience working in support of families and victims that have sustained a serious personal injury due to various incidents such as car accidents, construction accidents and medical malpractice. Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. has won several substantial recoveries on behalf of those who have been seriously injured due to someone else's negligence. One of those cases was worth $5.5 million in a settlement where a baby was brain damaged due to the doctors failing to diagnose fetal distress in a timely manner.
Experienced, Dedicated and Compassionate Defines Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C.
Furthermore, our attorneys have a wealth of experience dealing with the specialized scientific and medical issues involved in defective drugs such as Accutane, Fosamax and Zoloft, just to name a few. Our reputation for courtroom excellence gives us the added leverage to negotiate significant settlements on behalf of our clients, who would rather be spending time with their families than sitting through a trial in a courtroom. In the aftermath of a serious personal injury, you should be concentrating on getting well and not on monetary burdens. Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. understands the emotional and financial stress caused by personal injuries. Our lawyers receive a tremendous amount of contentment knowing that they are helping families in their time of greatest need. We genuinely care about our clients and will stand up for their rights.
Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. is a firm who shows compassion and empathy for our clients. We put our experience, dedication, commitment and enthusiasm into fighting every personal injury case. Every single case that we take on is a priority to us, and we put our hearts into fighting each case to the maximum ability. We are professionals who practice the skill of our craft.
How Insurance Companies Work
Our firm knows the inside scoop of how insurance companies work. Insurance companies are the poisonous seed to the apple as they know every trick and trap of how to deny or pay the minimal payout in claims. Insurance companies only care about one thing and that is to take whatever steps are necessary to limit their payouts, regardless of how serious the injury is. Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. is here to fight for you and to ensure that the insurance companies award the appropriate amount of money for the injury that was sustained. It is our obligation to make certain that fair compensation is awarded for the victim's injuries. The insurance companies are not there for you. They are in business for one purpose - to make a profit for their shareholders. They will not make a fair and reasonable settlement offer for you. Having said that, it is very important that you do not speak with any insurance company representative until you have spoken to a lawyer first. Studies have proven that a person who is represented by a lawyer will receive more money for a claim, even after payment of attorney's fees, than a person that does not seek counsel. The insurance companies know that lawyers generally do not take cases to trial and so they will attempt to settle a case for far less than what the case is actually worth. After investigating the details of a case, Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C. is not hesitant to take a case to trial as long as we feel that it will benefit our clients.

They may not be brand new, but they were still something to look at.
Dozens of snowmobile enthusiasts were in Big Bay Saturday for an antique snowmobile show. Itâ??s been put on by the 550 Snowmobile Club for the past 13 years.
This year more than 100 snowmobiles were on display. One of the oldest was a 195's Eliason passed down through three generations.
"People just like to look back at how it used to be," said Scott Nieuwenkamp, the owner of the 1950s antique ride. "Iâ??m sure when that machine hit the snow in 1950, it looked like a spaceship to most people."
The event raises money for local families in crisis. Since it began, about $10,000 has been donated.

To See You Through The Dark by Narwen3
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 1598]
Summary: PRE-HBP!!! Harry starts out his sixth year in sorrow at the loss of Sirius. Ginny helps him to overcome it, and our heroes learn a lot about life and love. This story has been completed! Special thanks to my mod, Danielle and to my fantastic readers!
I just started reading this and it is SO good!

Evil Villainy for Dummies by Hermiones_Revenge
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 587]
Summary: (Hi, I wrote this when I was 16, please keep that in mind. I'm keeping it up because people still like it.)
So, you want to be an evil villain? In this handbook that a certain Hogwarts student purchases, all of the rules, techniques, and frequently asked questions about evil villainy are explained. Do you have what it takes? And what will happen to the student who purchases the book? Another story from the strange, twisted, and slightly unfortunate Hermione's Revenge.
I love it. You should write a series to it!
Life Happens by ColorOfAngels
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 2754]
Wow, this story is really nice! Even though I have read this like a million times, I can feel the love from Ginny to Harry!
To me, the letter shows that Ginny might be bored, and she wants to make Harry feel better. State the ouvious, right?
Harry looked and sure enough there was another page with Ginnys hidden message _/ _ _/ _ _ _ _/ _ _ _/ _ _ _/ _ _ _ _/ _ _ _/ _ _ _/ _ _ _ _ _
Dear Ginny-
I dont know, how do you make a tissue dance?
Uh, is this his guess for the hagman game? Because I got confuesed on what this meant.
Overall, great story!
Power of the Prophecy by the_bartender713
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 877]
Summary: Year six begins in the_bartender's crazy concoction that is the life of Harry Potter. Add one part Harry, two parts prophecy, a mixture of Ron and Hermione, a dash of Ginny, a splash of Dumbledore (and garnish with a certain new knightly character to add a little mystery!)...
Pour over the ice in Lord Voldemort's heart and voila!
You've got yourself a Power of the Prophecy Cocktail, sure to mess you up, spin you around, make you question your motives and turn your wizarding world up-side down.
Okay, I love this story. Your write the characters as though they were really alive.
[i]Of course you werent, Mrs. Weasley, said Hermione, patting her shoulder consolingly. You were preparing for little half-Weasley, half-Potters.[/i]
You pulled that off. It shows that Hermione has changed and it shows more personality.hermione is not afriad to back down any more and you proved it.
It also nice that you fill in a lot of details and Harry's dream. It's like a cliff hanger. It was like a scary dream but then it's turns happy. I can't wait to read of rest of your story and Good luck!

Harry Potter and the Liar's Vow by TatteredBloodyRose
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 119]
Summary: CONTAINS HBP SPOILERS! Two weeks after his seventeenth birthday, Harry Potter sets out from the comfort and safety of the Burrow in search of the one who murdered his mentor. Along the way, he meets someone who is also searching for the traitor, but for very different reasons...
I like your story a lot for a reason. You share all the characters emotions perfectly! It might be kinda short (No offence!), it shows how everyone feels and looks. I also LOVED how you showed Arthur and Ginny. It's like they had a different personality.

A Seed From The Ground by Seren
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 49]
Summary: Auror-in-training Kingsley Shacklebolt is learning to blend in with the crowd in downtown London. There, he meets a small, lost girl, and learns how much impact a simple act of kindness can really have.
This story is really good! I like how you add in some of Kinsley's thought's about helping that little girl. Also, it's like you made the girl sound like Hermione. hermione is Mature for her age and smart. Well, when that girl is talking with Kingsley, you made her sound Mature and smart, even if she was crying in the beginning. You add really good details and you explain each characters personality.
"Yes!" she declared, nodding her head furiously as she primly sat in an adjacent chair, hands folded neatly. "I want to help people, you see, and catching bad people is helpful, right?" -from the story.
It sounds like she has a strong mind, and a nice personality. As I said, i really like this story. Keep up the good work with your others!

PS: I know this is a long review!
"Mum, Dad, It's Me... Harry." by Mudblood428
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 474]
Summary: Harry, Ron, and Hermione make a trip to Godric's Hollow to visit the Potters' graves. There, Harry speaks to his parents for the first time, and in so doing, discovers that the dead are never truly lost. (One-shot. Bring your kleenex.)
Sorry, I guess my review was too long before. I guess it deleted itself, so I'll just sum up my review:
Your story was brilliant! I loved the setting (Very dark/angst!) and I loved the characterization (How Ron wasn't as macho as we thought.) I thought the best part was the talk that Harry gave. It made me cry. It was filled with a lot of heart and emotion.
Well done!
~Michelle :)
The New Surprise by rache
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 889]
Hi everyone just to say this story is finished, there will not be any more chapters. Sorry if that wasn't clear beforeb>
Harry and Ginny are married, with a seven-year old daughter. As Ginny finds out she is pregnant with her second child, memories come back to her, good and bad. The war is over, and everyone feels safe. Shouldnt they? Strange things are happening, mysterious plots are being formed, putting Harry and his loved ones in danger. Everyone knows he will do anything for the people he loves Especially Ginny.
I like this chapter a lot. The reason I'm reviewing this one instead of chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 is because I think this one has lots of backround in it.
To start off, I would like to say that Ginny is definatly pregnant. The potion or whatever it was [stick?] was out of date, I'm sure. I'm glad that you put that though, because it shows that things aren't always a happy ever after and that even though Ginny wasn't planning to have another baby, we see that she is still upset that the test was false.
I also like that you put flashbacks on how Ginny reacted to when she found out she was going to have Lisle (how do you say that? Lis-lee? Li-zell?) and how she planned to tell Harry, because that way we aren't guessing on how everyone took it.
Other good news is this: No errors that I found in grammar and spelling, and everyone seems to be OC. Tipical Ron, invading on a moment with news of Pudding! :D
I hope that you keep writing!

Prisoner 21431199 by Morwen
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 16]
Summary: He was innocent. That much he told himself over and over as he sat in his cell, and years later, it seemed that that was enough to keep him sane. But despite this, Azkaban left scars on Sirius that could never be healed. Part I is set when Sirius was in Azkaban.
Wow! This story was very nice. I loved how you showed time passed when you inserted all of those numbers.
I don't know if you metion this, but who is telling this story? Is it one of the Marauders? Or am I just totally missing something?
My favourite part of this story is when Fudge is talking with Sirius. It shows that Sirius doesn't really mind being in Azkaban, and that he is bored. To me, it also shows that Fudge is Brave, because he went talking with a prisoner.
Overall, I love this story.
PS: I hope you know what this was for! =]
The Seventh Horcrux by Melindaleo
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 1198]
Summary: The hunt for the Horcruxes begins. Harry has to decide who to trust as he moves closer to fulfilling his destiny. Will he be able to find and destroy all the Horcruxes? And at what price? Will he be able to find the strength within himself the Power the Dark Lord Knows Not in order to succeed in vanquishing Voldemort? And
can he do it and still get the girl? Join Harry and his faithful friends on their quest to finally defeat a Dark Lord.
NOOO! You ended the story. Okay, you have to promise me that you will make a sequel! I will even beta and give you idea's if I have to! PLEASE make a sequel because I love your stories.
~*~ Ginny~*~
Author's Response: Ohh, thanks very much, but I think I\'m going to attempt something original for my next project. We\'ll see how that goes ;
Okay,I have 5 words for you: I.LOVE.THIS.STORY.SO.MUCH! Hmm...that was 6, oh never mind! I love how you can write with so many words and how you express the characters feelings perfectly! And how you give very good describtions and how you update quickly! I rate this 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 out of 10.

I thought this story was very well. First off, I thought that you did really well pulling off first person point of view. I know how hard that could be, and here you did it very well.
I also like the fact that you wrote about Luna - not just the usual characters of the trio. I say this because the way you wrote Luna is probably the way that she would tell herself.
If I had to tell you something that you could have improved on (which is really hard since I love this story), I would say that I would have thought that at lest one person may like her. In this story, no one really likes her. I think that you should have showed us that she does have friends besides Ginny. And - this is just a Pet Peeve - I think the story would be more wonderful if to added more to it. And, one more thing before I go:
He looks troubled, but he smiles and waves at me. I havent seen him much since Professor Slughorns party. I had a nice time; it was quite the best party I had ever gone to.
I don't really think that the first sentance is believeable that much. Whenever Harry is troubled or upset, he usually is in a bad mood, and does not want to talk to anyonr beside Ron and hermione. I just thi nk that if he's troubled, he would smile and wave at Luna. I also think that 'quite' is not the right word to use in the last sentance. It doesn't really flow with what you are talking about.
This review may sound like I'm being mean, but I really did like this story. I just think that if you improve, this stor could be even better. But I do love this!
Such Great Heights by Aelan Greenleaf
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 26]
Summary: War is hell. Years after the Final Battle, the man remembers, and writes the letter he has written so many times before. [Post Hogwarts; one shot]
It was good but I thought you could have written a little more because it looks like you could have explained that friend that Harry had to kill. But it's only my thoughts.
Poison Rationality by StaceyLC
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 14]
Summary: Snape is recuited to Romania to aide Charlie Weasley in preparing dragons for the TriWizard tournament. While there, however, Charlie develops a very strange and deadly illness, and Snape must somehow find a way to get him to St. Mungo's in time.
Entered for the Gauntlet "Journey to St. Mungo's" challenge by StaceyLC of Hufflepuff house.
Wow! I really like this story! I wonder why you keep saying 'This is Albus' fault' though...
It's really unique that you put Snape in Third Point of view (Or is that first?). I like how you made Albus and Snape. At the begining of this story, they were kinda funny, or maybe that's just me.
Overall, great Story!
Author's Response: Oh, it\'s Snape saying, well... narrating... \"this is all Albus\' fault\" over and over again because he is Snape, and annoyed, and Dumbledore told him to go to Romania to begin with. And I\'m glad you thought it was funny :D After HBP Snape seems OOC to me, even, but... it was supposed to take place before we knew him so I got to have fun.
An Unclear Past by Winged Artemis
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 52]
Summary: It's years after the trio is out of Hogwarts, Harry's found all of the Horcruxes, Voldemort's dying slowly and the Death Eaters are receding. All of the trio are married, and life is swell. But with one last flourish, Voldemort attacks Harry and Ron. The two defeat Voldemort, but lose their memories of their past since their first year, along with You-Know-Who, leaving Hermione, Ginny, the Weasleys and Harry and Ron's kids help nurse them back to sanity.
Author's Note: The Violence is mild in the first and fourth chapter, there is a bit, so I added a Violence warning. It's not graphic, though.
Currently on hiatus. See profile for more information.
I love your story! I'm not saying this because I have to, but I love how Hermione and Ginny are OOC, but then it looks like they are still acting the way they usually act. Also, how you express the feelings is great. I felt like I was really there. Plus, I got the hints, so you did good on not giving give-a-ways, but you made it so that everyone could get it. How Ginny and Hermione are first sad, then mad, then sad again, is very tricky to do, but I think you pulled it off.
I just have one question. Did you get the name for your other characters yet? If so, I can't wait to read them. Overall, good story. I can't wait till you update!
~*~Queen of Strange Happiness~*~
~*~Queen of Harry Potter~*~
Author's Response: Thanks so much! If find I have a natural talent for writing Angsty fics, lol. As for the characters, yes, I did. If you want to leave any suggestions, I\'d love to hear them, either way. Oh, and the fourth chapter is with a Beta now. Thanks again!

B. S., I Love You is appropriately titled, as the story concerns a young adman (Peter Kastner), who not only loves his job, but enjoys success in his job due to his success in lovemaking. Especially helpful is his liaison with his boss (Joanna Barnes), but he also manages to further his career with the romantic assistance of the boss's daughter (Joanna Cameron). With enviable energy, he somehow keeps his career going, along with relationships with the boss-ladies and his regular girlfriend (Louise Sorel), while traveling between New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Photos of dogs. And beaches.
Fail stack #1. He looks awful!!! This was a couple of weeks ago.. I tried to position him, grab the camera and take a pic. His legs are everywhere, he turned his head, and he tensed up because I had DEM TREETS AND I MOVED NOOOO.
Failer stack #2. Same as #1 but worserer.
Some beach pictures because we had about an hour of SUN last weekend. These were all taken in manual with auto focus (because they move to fast) and touched up in GIMP (just hue and contrast).

Advocating repeated nerfs in the name of "balancing the game" then complaining about how DDO is moving away from D&D, is a direct contradiction in logic - D&D 3.5 (what DDO is based on) is not a balanced game. We can either have a balanced clone MMO with homogenized classes, or we can have a D&D game. We cant have both.
Coal Chamber is tedious.
As a matter of fact, I ran it not too long ago with one of my toons in a PUG. I said to them, "In virtually every group I've been in here, by the time we're two-thirds of they way into the quest, the group is completely scattered." Sure enough, about at that mark, we had three groups of people running around, with only one group of them knowing exactly where they were, and where they needed to go next.
Plus, with one shrine and lots of potential respawns, it is the true test of any wizzy or sorc to be able to run that on elite even with a group, and still have SP for the boss fight.
Which is why removing it from Shroud flagging would be totally insane. I mean, I hate running CC. But removing it from raid flagging would be a crime. Just like removing Crucible from flagging in Gianthold is kinda dumb (I hate that one too). They require the group to actually work together and communicate.
And yeah, they need to fix the camera thing with the ledges. That's actually the worst thing about that quest.
Antipan, Pandargon, Pandolin, Panifin, Panmorgan, Pangrael, and all other things "pan-ed"...
Seriously tho...this quest doesn't need to be changed.
Now Sleeping Dust on the other hand...always a potential nightmare to pug.
You don't like Coalescence Chamber, so it has to go.
I don't like keeping NPCs alive, so I guess Ritual Sacrifice has to go.
Others have already said they don't like Let Sleeping Dust Lie, so it has go as well.
C'mon guys, we merely need two more players to dislike Rainbow in the Dark and Running With the Devils, so that we can finally run the Shroud without having to flag for it!
Anaplian, Csimian, Tengram, Hackworth, Memenah, Helekye, Nabberfleish
Brotherhood of the Wolf
/not signed
A challenging quest that can be completed by almost any class solo and easily done in a group. Sure it has some physics issues, but fix those and it's gold (or platinum).
Someone take a nail file to the invisible edges and I think it'd be fine.
The only one in the flagging chain I loathe is the "reverse protect the idiot" spider one. I find Rainbow just annoying (not enough to really hate), but the rest are fine solo or in a (clueful) pug. I tend to like Rit Sac more than most players, but I am also a fan of Running with the Devils solo (tho pugs can be stressful if they don't know what the eladrin are and how to prepare for engaging them).
But I don't want to completelly remove them. I have other idea of how Vale/Shroud mats should be handled. For flagging everything is fine because you can just run on casual and get things done.
Amossa d'Cannith, Sarlona, casually trying Completionist (12/14) [<o>]
Almost-never-played-alts: Arquera - Chapolin - Fabber - Herweg - Mecanico - Tenma
I want DDO to be a better game. Those are my personal suggestions on: Ammunition, Archmage, Combat Stances, Deities, Dispel Magic, Epic Destiny Map, Fast Healing, Favor, Favored Enemy, Half-elf Enhancements, Monk Kensai, Monk Stances, Past Life, Potency, Potions, Ranger Spells, Summons, Tiered Loot.
With update 17, there will be elevators for the Coalescence Chamber that you can use for only 50 TP! Cheap!
And if you have a feather fall item, you don't have to pay for the ride down!
Yaaaaaaaay easy button!!!
Woohooo *_*
quests that needs to be removed:
Hold for Reinforcements
Gladewatch Outpost
Protect Baudry's Interests
Stand Your Ground
i think you can see the pattern....
PS: Greensteel RUINED the game! and you all know it!
less buffing, more nerfing!!!
to make it easier for those of you that wants to avoid me in game, all my characters are in "Bladesworn Mercenaries"
If Coal Chamber were 1/2 the length and some of the overhangs were removed so that tall characters didn't get pushed off as easily it would be fine.
The idea is great. Just 60mins in the quest is too long.
Nope, it's gotta go. All other arguments are irrelevant.
1. The Argument that Doing Quests like Coal Chamber and Crucible prepare you for the Raids!
Shroud, Reaver's Fate {and Tor} are Nothing like these quests {and I personally find them much much easier - I know for a fact I've run Shroud many more times than I've run Coal!}
2. The Argument that I {not me obviously} can run Coal Chamber in 20 mins {Crucible in 10}!
I don't believe you - It would take me longer than this to run through these dungeons with no mobs and all doors open!
I've been in a few groups for Coal Chamber now and the quickest completion has been around the 50 minute mark {I Never lead this quest}!
Crucible I'm not sure but don't think I've ever been in a completion of less than 30-40 minutes! {Again I always ask for a guide}.
3. The Argument that Rit Sac is too easy!
Seriously now - RwtD was much much easier before the Spellpower changes!
Rainbow is much easier as long as the group stays together!
Dust is an easy quest if you don't get griefers!
My list for Vale Flagging = Rainbow, Rit Sac, Coal, Dust, Devils even now!
The reason I have this order is so I actually have a group for Coal - Do Dust first and People mysteriously disappear!
And which Vale Quests get farmed? In my experience - Rainbow and Devils!
NOT Rit Sac!
4. Mario Skills!
This is DDO! Dungeons & Dragons Online!
I'll accept that Mario Skill quests are here to stay BUT requiring them for Flagging Quests - Heck No!
5. The Argument that removing "Difficult" Quests makes it so anyone can get into Raids {Going back to Argument 1 a bit here}!
Ever since I joined DDO the accepted answer to which packs should I buy in General chat and here on the forums has been:
Vale of Twilight
Some people advocate Delera's first, Others advocate Vale and GH only!
No-One says Sands, No-One says Carnival, Very few say VoN {Though this is catching up now and has overtaken Amrath as #4!}.
There's no learning experience in Delera's!
Whereas Carnival has two of the most difficult Quests below Lvl 12!
Wiz King, Chains and OoB are in my personal opinion MUCH harder flagging quests than PoP and Madstone!
{Crucible is out on it's own}!
As for the Pre-Raids - ADQ1 10 - 0 Tor!
Having found it inordinately difficult to actually get into an ADQ 2 - Done it exactly once - Was over in 30 seconds, Never even got to swing my sword {was on my Pally} I can't really say anything about it vs Reaver's!
Oh and Sands Slayer is in my opinion Superb! GH Slayer is Empty!
If you want people to learn the game I'd suggest changing that list to:
Orchard {Got to add this in}!
Only then should you advocate getting Vale - When you know people have earned the right {in your opinion}!

Boy Books and Girl Books: Is There Such a Thing?
Although tween novels generally have one protagonist, – choosing between female or male – books are not identified as boy books or girl books. There are certain themes in past titles that certain individuals of a particular gender can relate to, however, that does not mean that these books cannot be enjoyed by everyone. There must be a balance in order for both boys and girls to thoroughly feel captivated in the story. In Opposing Viewpoints, it is noted that boys are much more delicately balanced and to ask them to read "girl" stories will cause the whole venture to fall apart. The following two plot summaries can help readers understand which gender can relate to which.
Hatchet by Gary Paulson is a self-discovery tween novel that is centered around Brian Robeson and his survival. Brian is going through a difficult time with his parents' divorce and must take a long trip from his mother's household in New York to his father's location in Alaska. The flight takes a turn for the worst and crashes into a lake somewhere in the Canadian wilderness. Fortunately, Brian survives the crash and is only left with a hatchet that is the only tool to help him get through the next 54 days.
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume is about a 12-year old girl who moves to a new town in New Jersey. Her female friends perceive themselves as experts in maturation and teach her the ways to be popular, which makes her feel the need to be popular as well. In addition to her struggle to be socially accepted, her choice in religion is unknown because her family did not raise her in a religious household. Even though she is not affiliated with one particular religion, she talks to God about everything even if things go perfectly as planned. But what if things go wrong?
There are chapter books that have embedded themes in which the reader feels that he or she can relate to them. Such themes can be gender specific, which can make certain readers uninterested. In the two cases above, certain characteristics in Are You There God? may not seem interesting or captivating for many male readers and vice versa for the Hatchet.
I feel that all things related to tween books unconsciously and consciously create these gender specific stories. The publishing industry, editors, librarians, and schools are usually employed with female workers (Opposing Viewpoints), which helps cater more towards the female crowd. Guys Lit Wire had mentioned that there is so much emphasis on classic works written by male authors that there is a push to change contemporary reading for teens today (What We Talk About When We Talk About Books for Teenage Boys). Certain elements of a book must be taken into consideration in order for both boys and girls to feel captivated within a novel. Sheila Anderson (2007), author of Serving Young Teens and 'Tweens, wrote that appeal characteristics – story, characters, setting, and language – are essential and allow readers to enjoy a variety of books.

Has anyone else had this problem? Our farrier says all of the horses he's worked on lately have lost quite a bit of weight.
Our horses have good grass hay virtually 24/7, and are fed alfalfa pellets/beet pulp every day. However, it's been spectacularly hot this summer, and they seem to have lost weight. Not a lot, but a noticeable amount - they all look a bit ribby. However, they spend more time standing in the shade than eating - even when we put the hay in the shade, they tend to ignore it for the most part and just doze.
Hopefully, their appetites (and weight) will pick back up when the weather moderates?

Several of the speakers—Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) re-told the Philip Reid story, or portions of it. That's actually good and long overdue. The silence of the centuries now yields to a swelling chorus of the Union. Today was one of those rare moments when Republicans and Democrats, Americans black and white, could come together for justice.
I was proud to be a part of history today. But I have one suggestion: we should re-name the Rayburn Room where we met today the Philip Reid Room. There was some confusion getting to the ceremony, since there is already a Rayburn House Office Building just across Independence Avenue. It would be no disrespect to the already greatly honored Speaker Sam Rayburn at long last to give Philip Reid his due.
In that way, we can honor this respected artisan, his labors, and the labors of all those black Americans who worked to build up this Temple of Freedom.

Donald Williams, II, 32, and his 8-month pregnant wife Wendy, 37, came with their 21-month-old daughter Noelle.
Donald: "I came partly to experience what my parents and grandparents experienced in terms of marches, sit-ins and boycotts. I want my daughter to be exposed to this environment."
"In 50 years, Noelle will be 52. I hope the racial mentality of the world has changed for the positive. By then minorities will be the majority. We'll have more Latino Americans and African Americans in the White House. By then, we'll have had our first lesbian president. Everything will be totally different."
Wendy: "I came to be a part of this and to be inspired. In the next 50 years, if we're still here, I have a very negative perception. I don't think things will change much. I don't have a lot of hope. I think it might get worse."

It all comes down to a commitment in Washington to focus some of that monetary policy on closing the ever-widening gap between the "haves and the have nots." However it happens, it will take looking beyond banks as the answer to delivering credit to the 73 million Americans who are on the wrong side of the credit divide.
Allocating credit to those who need it is a complex subject. It is a mistake to think that all commercial banks have the expertise to undertake the credit analysis to make and service all kinds of loans. A bank analyst who understands the credit issues of an oil and gas exploration company is unlikely to have the expertise to analyze an auto consumer loan. Like other industries, the financial industry tends to specialize in various market segments.
The issue of making consumer loans to people on the wrong side of the credit divide raises other issues that make lending to this group very expensive. First, default rates among the poor are much higher than among the rich. Therefore, everything else being equal, loans to the poor will reflect premium pricing to cover the higher default risks. Second, because these are riskier loans, the banks will be forced to have higher capital requirements to support these loans. This leads to higher capital costs. Third, because these loans are smaller than similar loans to the wealthy, the expense of issuing and servicing the loans must be amortized over a smaller loan principal. This also makes a loan relatively more expensive to the poor. Fourth, loans to consumers tend to be subject to much more government consumer and banking regulations than loans to businesses. This too adds to the costs of these low income consumer loans. Given the high cost of low end consumer lending, it is no surprise that high cost payday loan companies and pawn shops have arisen to serve these low end markets. It also should not be a surprise that the large commercial banks shun these markets.
The Federal Reserve Bank is principally tied into the regulation of the financial system through the commercial banks. When the Fed introduces stimulus into the banking system, it is the commercial banks lending to the upper tier of the economy which first gets the lower rates and the stimulus. The low end financial institutions like the payday loan companies and the pawn shops are the last in the financial food chain to the feel the stimulus impact of the Fed's easy money policy.
Furthermore, high end borrowers pay interests rates closer to the risk free market interest rate. So if the Fed reduces the risk free rate by 1%, interest rates to the high end borrowers would decline from say 5% to 4%.. That is a meaningful 20% decline in borrowing costs. On the other hand, low end borrowers usually pay high credit and servicing costs discussed above so a 1% decline in interest rates might take one of these loans down from 20% to 19%. That is a negligible 5% decline in borrowing costs.
Given the dynamics of the market for credit, there is very little the Fed can do to make additional credit and lower rates available to the lower end of the market. If the Fed wants to go around the market and introduce rationing, it can force commercial banks to make loans available to the low end of the market that they do not normally serve. However rationing would have unintended consequences like high losses on low end consumer loans for commercial banks which will impair their capital and thereby reduce their ability to lend additional capital to other segments of the market.
