Kildrummy Castle
There used to be a castle in Scotland called Kildrummy Castle. I did research on it and was surprised to find out that it was actually interesting. I found out that Kildrummy used to be owned by Robert the Bruce but went under siege and that lead to the death of many other Scottish people. In 1374 the castle's heiress Isobel was taken and forced to marry Alexander Stewart who took Kildrummy and claimed the title Earl of Mar. Then it was taken over by James 1 in 1435 and became a royal castle until Elphinstone in 1507. Then it was abandoned in 1716. It then became the ruins of one of the most extensive castles in Scottish history. I thought that researching about it would be boring but it was actually intriguing and I hope other people enjoy learning about it as well.

Girl In A Cage
I did my project on the Kildrummy Castle. Kildrummy Castle is set in Scotland, United Kingdom. Castles in these days and probably now if there are any left are for rich(er) people. Now, the Kildrummy Castle is in ruins. It was modeled on the latest French designs. Now, only the outside walls are standing and there are no complete rooms. In 1306, the castle was under siege for protecting Robert the Bruce, which was the king of England.

Medieval Weapons and War Tactics
The weapon you were given depended on what social class you were. If you were lower class your weapons ranged from pole arms, battle axes, longbows and more. The Knights however used medieval swords, shields, and they were trained to use lances. Every knight had training with the lance, sword, and dagger before they even stepped on the battlefield. One of the war tactics of their time was surrounding the city and cutting off all food supply until they surrendered. They also ran with long spears to counter a cavalry charge.

John Comyn
John Comyn was often called the Earl of Buchan. He was a member of Clan Comyn a group in the early 14th century. He was a chief opponent of Robert The Bruce a powerful Scottish leader. Robert and John were leaders in a 14th century civil war that both sides argued for independence. John Comyn had a cousin named John Comyn III who was killed by Bruce in Dumfries in 1306. John Comyn agreed to assist Bruce for the sake of the civil war between France and Scotland.
From about 1300 to 1304 the civil war of Scotland was also the war or fight for power for the Comyns. John Comyn and a few of his cousins decided that they were going to fight the other side of their family for power and over parts of Scotland. John did not just want to fight his cousins he wanted to fight the Native people that lived there. His cousins set up armies around the boarder of Scotland. His cousins placed him in Galloway where his cousins and parts of France attacked Scotland. After a year of fighting John Comyn was sent to Paris to prevent a peace treaty to end the war. A few years later Comyn died (1308) as a sergeant for 14th century Scotland.
John Comyn died from being murdered, since 1286 the threat of civil war between the houses of Bruce and Balliol had haunted and shaped Scottish politics. So Robert Bruce and his partners and associates killed Comyn and his Uncle because of their power in the civil war. This was a murder that had a huge turn in the Scottish civil war. Mostly because Comyn was one of the main leaders in then Scottish civil war and with his power over half of Scotland, Bruce was named leader of the civil war and now controlled the rest of the Comyn Clan. He brought torture on them and made them fight in the most dangerous battles then killed William Comyn. He killed William because he tried to runaway and form a Clan called the Comyn II but was found later on and was killed by Robert Bruce.
With my research on John Comyn I concluded that he was a very tough man. He liked to fight and solve his problems with violence. I also concluded that his family was not a typical loving family. With them it was all about power and whoever had the most power was the best one in the family. So without any second guesses I think that there was constant family in the Comyn family.

England, Scotland, and Wales are a series of islands of the west coast of Europe. They make up the U.K. Scotland is made up of the Highlands, the Central Lowlands, and the Southern Uplands. It is usually very overcast, meaning it is very rainy, misty, and cloudy. England is a very small island and is covered in wetlands. The terrain is very swampy and low-lying allowing birds and plants to have a home there. Finally, Wales is rugged and almost completely surrounded by water. It is very cool and wet all year. These three islands make up one country, but are different in some ways.

From the Girl in the Cage Research Project was that the weapons used in the medieval times were barbaric and harsh. They would stab people with various knife attached to each hand. The battle strategies where very smart. For example, a siege is when the enemy would surround a castle and wait until the people inside the castle starved (because of the lack of food) or surrendered. I learned things I would have never learned from this project.

Women in the Middle Ages are different from women in this present age. Women had different roles in soceity than women do now. The role of women in society depended on what part of society you were in. There were two major groups of people the nobles and the peasants. The nobles and the peasants did many of the same things. Nobles would take care of their kids and also had a lot more respect than peaasants. Peasants took care of their children and their homes and sometimes even worked a job. If they worked a job they would be paid less than a man would be paid. Women in the Middle Ages faced different challenges than women in the present age do. One of the main challenges was men were dominate. Which means that they controlled what women did, how they did it, and when they did it. I learned a lot about women that I didn't know and I hope you did too.

Girl In a Cage
Everyday Life 1300
The Girl in a Cage book is set in the in the middle ages or the medieval times. I learned that the times back then were very different. Women and children were treated very differently then men. It was a male denomination. Two classes, nobles and peasants divided the people. The food they ate was mostly eaten with hands. The peasants weren't very clean because there wasn't much water for them, although the nobles had clean warm water warmed by fire. It was all about money, the more money you had the better things you would get and the better quality clothes, food, and treatment. They were very religious they believed in God and that the devil wanted to harm them. I think that learning about what is going on in the book before we read it will help us understand the book better.

Edward Longshanks the First ruled from 1272 to 1307. He came to rule after Alexander the third and his granddaughter Margaret, Maid of Norway died four years later. He appointed a man named John Balliol to rule to extend Scotland's rule. Later during a war he rebelled but was defeated by Edward and surrendered.
The people of Scotland hated and tried to rebel often against Edward because of his harsh punishments and evil ways of rule. One day he was very angry and made a cage and not only locked the captured Countess of Buchan inside, but Robert the Bruce's daughter and his twelve-year old daughter.
Robert the Bruce's daughter is held as ransom against him. He was born at Westminster in June 1239. He married Eleanor of Castile.
Contributions-Best ruler and one of the successful monarchs of England. Accomplishments in war and in law earned him the name-"English Justinian" He was a dangerous and clever man and continued to fight for more land. He never chose sides in the baron war, but when his father was captured his allegiance was given to Henry.

Edward Longshanks ruled from 1272 to 1307. He was born at Westminster in June 1239. He married Eleanor of Castile. He appointed a man named John Balliol to help rule over Scotland, but later, John Balliol rebelled against Edward in an attempt to gain all rule. Edward defeated Balliol, but that did not stop the people of Scotland- they hated Edward, and often rebelled against him because of his harsh punishments and evil ways of rule. One day, Edward got very angry, and he ordered a cage to be built—once the cage was done, he locket the captured Countess of Buchan inside, as well as Robert the Bruce's daughters- one of them was only 11/12 years old! The daughters were held as ransom against Robert the Bruce. Edward was, even after all this cruelty, still a strong ruler and was considered as one of the best and most successful monarchs of England. Accomplishments in both war and law earned him the nickname 'English Justinian.' He was a both dangerous and clever man, and he continued to fight for more land. He didn't want to choose sides in the Baron war, but when his father was captured he gave his allegiance to Henry.

So in Scotland there was on main war that lasted for years and years, which is the one I will focus on. In the early 1300's King Edward I was the king of Scotland and started a war when he tried to take over Scotland and the Scottish fought back. Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce were 2 pretty major leaders for Scotland in this time. Sir William Wallace was murdered by English soldiers. After he died, Robert the Bruce became more important. He became the king of a very important church of Scotland. King Edward I, descendant King Edward III, was still fighting years later. Eventually, in 1357 they signed a treaty stating that David II who had been taken captive by the English would be freed. However, the

Woman in the middle ages were very important. Without them the middle ages may have not been what it was. Women were completly dominated by men at the time, but they still became things like warriors, rulers, etc. As well as running the entire household they had to do their jobs and serve their husbands. A woman's day was a long and hard one and usually ended late at night.

The term feudalism is used to designate the social, military, political, and sometimes economic relationships found in western medieval Europe.
was a social system that developed during the period called the Middle Ages in Europe.
Feudalism is the system of political organization prevailing in Europe from the 9th to about the 15th centuries. The social structure of the Middle Ages was organized round the system of Feudalism. Feudalism in practice meant that the country was not governed by the king but by individual lords, or barons, who administered their own estates, dispensed their own justice, minted their own money, levied taxes and tolls, and demanded military service from vassals.

Have you ever wondered what daily life was like in the Medieval Ages in Scotland?
Life was very different than what it is like today. Back then, women basically had barely any rights. Their main purpose was to have children. And back then, most marriages were arranged, and the husband had complete control over his wife. And what about the food? Back then, poorer people mostly ate bread, garden vegetables, and fresh meat. During the winter, they would eat the meat preserved in salt, although salt was very expensive. And guess what? They ate things like peacock and porpoise! They also had never heard of potatoes. You may ask, how was religion different back then? Well, religion was a very important part of daily life back then. A lot of men and women became monks and nuns. There were a few towns that were built off of churches.
Have you ever wondered about the level of knowledge of medicine back then? First, in order to become a doctor or apothecary, you had to have studied for 10 years, much longer than now. Complicated battle surgery was performed on soldiers. And they believed that your blood had to be perfectly balanced, so they would remove some sometimes!
Have you ever thought about living in a castle? Life at the castle was the good life indeed. The king had loads of servants that would work in the kitchen, do household chores, and entertain the nobles with music and reading. Romance stories were read and acted as entertainment mostly to richer people back then. Music was played one note at a time on a variety of instruments. The castle was very colorful and alive.
And what about clothes? Have you ever thought about what kind of clothes they wore back then? The way it went then was: the simpler your clothes were, the poorer you were. Nobles had access to any fabric they wanted, while peasants and lower classes wore belted tunics (longer for the women), leather shoes, and stockings. Later on, some people wore hats. Lower class women's clothes were made of wool, but richer women's clothing was very layered and had colorful and detailed fabric.
Have you ever thought of what would happen if you were in an arranged marriage? How would you feel if you married someone you might not have met before in your life? This might be how the women felt back then. The law says that women were able to marry at 12 years old (that's how old I turning next week! I could never imagine getting married now!) and boys could marry at 14. Noble weddings normally ended with feasting and celebration.
And that's how life was in Medieval Scotland!

Robert the Bruce
Robert the Bruce was the king of Scotland from 1306 to 1329. To the Scots he's known as a hero, because in 1314 he freed Scotland from the English rule. He was born on July 11, 1274. In 1290 Robert's grandfather was crowned king.
mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">The English king Edward I, however, claimed authority over the Scots and awarded the crown to John de Balliol instead. Facing resistance from the Scots, Edward invaded and conquered Scotland in 1296. The army, who was forced to fight Robert, defeated him. He became an outlaw to the people. He was so determined that he decided to try again and defeat the English. When Edward I, was sent out to fight him he died in route. And his son Edward II, who was much weaker left he English troops to fend for themselves. By 1314 Robert had already driven from every town except for Stirling. Edward II finally decided to lead an army against them. Robert and his army defeated the English. For the next 14 years, there were still fights between them. Until, 1328 a peace treaty was signed to show Scotland's independence. Robert died in 1329. Here are my sources.

We can learn a lot from monks and nuns. Monks and nuns were very religious. They had a lot of work, strict schedules, and limted contact with the outside world. They contributed to religion and helping others. They really were strong and I am very awed at what they did evey day. I admire them very much.

Geography for England, Wales, and Scotland Summery
The geography for Wales, Scotland, and England are very similar to each other. They are all very cloudy and have mountains. Wales has a warmer climate than Scotland and gets a lot of rain during October to January. The south part of England is low-lying land with some hills. The temperature con be 70°F in the summer but 30°F in the winter. Scotland has over 186 islands and has three sections called the highlands, the lowlands, and the Uplands. They are each very similar in many ways.

I learned a lot in this project about monks and nuns. I learned that they lived a very solitary life. What you usually did in the day was pray, go to church services, work, and then go to bed. I also learned that monks and nuns lived together in a place called a monastery and eventually the nuns made their own house where they worshipped and slept. The word monks come from the word monos (which means solitary) and monasterion (which means religion). Monks and nuns would usually become monks when they are younger and there parents had promises to the church or they had more children than they can handle, but sometimes people became monks and nuns because their spouse died and they were lonely, they wanted to grow closer to God, some even came as a punishment for a minor crime. There is a lot of valuable information that I have learned and I think I am very benefitted with this knowledge and will use it in the near future.

John Comyn was a man in Scotland in the 1300s who was rivals with Robert the Bruce. They both wanted to become the king of Scotland. Robert the Bruce wanted to get rid of his rival so he could then become the king. They wanted to both be loyal to Scotland so they didn't want to do anything bad. But one day in a church, Robert the Bruce snuck up on John Comyn and then fought until Robert the Bruce finally won when he killed John. Robert became the king, but he didn't tell anyone so he loyalty would go away.

Scotland Wars and Rulers
I researched about Scotland wars and rulers. I learned that Robert the Bruce was the king of Scotland and he gained Scotland its independence. I also learned that he killed John Comyn. He killed John Comyn right before the Battle of Methven. The Battle of Methven was in between Scotland and England. England won this battle. I also learned about the battle of Bannockburn. This was in between England and Scotland. Scotland won this battle in 1314 and they gained there independence,

Women in Medieval times roles and difficulties varied depending on wealth. Noblewomen's job was to run the castle and estate when her husband was away, have sons to continue the family name and to inherit land, and to set up parties, and entertain guests. Peasant women's jobs were to do all the housework, some of the farm work, sew, and help with her husbands business. Some of the difficulties that noblewomen faced were the fact that they had no choice in who they married. They married for political use. Other difficulties were that it was vital for them to have sons. Most women died in childbearing. Peasant women's difficulties were that they could not marry without there parents consent, could not divorce her husband, were banned from many guilds (groups of people with the same skill), they were paid less for jobs then men, and could not inherit land from her parents if she had any surviving brothers. The only way she could inherit land was if she was widowed. This is where I got my information.

In July 1346, Edward 111 invaded Normandy with an army between 12,000 and 16,000 men. His purpose for the attack was to collect booty (or money) for his troops, and to bring great shame upon King Phillip. His plan was a successJ The Black Prince (Edward prince of wales) invaded France again after their victory and Crecy. The French shoulders were all killed by there thousands. After that they faced Bertrand de Guesclin aka the hog in armor because of his ugly face. The British won, again. The Hundred years war is a war between England and France. The first battle took place at the sea, off the Flemish port of Sluys. The battle was at sea and a little on land. They used crossbows, cannon balls, and catapults for weapons mostly. They also had some on land and hand to hand fighting going on at land and used knifes as well. The war was mostly a Weapon victory for England and they won the war.

For regular meals, most people ate pottage, a thick broth made from vegetables and meat. Everyone ate bread. Feasts could include roasted swans, peacocks, and an assortment of sweet and spicy dishes. Peasants worked hard everyday except for Sundays. They also had very poor diets. Most peasants didn't live any longer than 25 years. If we were them, we would of lived almost half of our life already! Women wore linen undergarments called kirtles. They wore long-sleeved tunics over their kirtles, and over their tunics, they wore a coat with opened sides and no sleeves, called a surcoat. Men wore loose tunics, which were like dresses that came down to their knees. They also wore woolen stockings (long socks) or hose. People liked music. Music was simple in the medieval times. People played one note at a time on a bunch of instruments.

Most warfare that was fought in England was long and costly sieges. Some of the weapons they used in war were swords and flails. They usually wore doublets and suits of armor. In the Campaign of Crécy in 1346, Edward the III and his army invaded Normandy with an army between twelve thousand and sixteen thousand. Over half of them were longbow men. Edward led his army on a chevauchée, which is a horse ride or plundering raid. The Black Prince, (Edward, prince of Wales) invaded France again after their victory and Crécy. They were facing a general so ugly,(Bertrand de Guesclin) he was called a hog in armor. But the British won again. The English also fought a war called the Hundred Years' War. It was fought between Britain and France. The first important battle took place at sea, off the Flemish port of Sluys. On their ships, England carried 4000 men at arms and 12000 archers.

It all started when Robert the Bruce and Comyn were fighting many times throughout the years. They ended up in a church while they were fighting and Bruce stabbed Comyn till death. This is what triggered the battle. Bruce wasn't afraid to go to war because Edward the first was weak. Now the battle of Methven was between King Edward and Bruce to see who would be the king of Scotland. Eventually England (King Edward) won. This gave England control over Scotland.

Robert the Bruce was the king of Scotland from 1306 to 1329. To the Scots he's known as a hero, because in 1314 he freed Scotland from the English rule. He was born on July 11, 1274. In 1290 Robert's grandfather was crowned king.
mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">The English king Edward I, however, claimed authority over the Scots and awarded the crown to John de Balliol instead. Facing resistance from the Scots, Edward invaded and conquered Scotland in 1296. The army, who was forced to fight Robert, defeated him. He became an outlaw to the people. He was so determined that he decided to try again and defeat the English. When Edward I, was sent out to fight him he died in route. And his son Edward II, who was much weaker left he English troops to fend for themselves. By 1314 Robert had already driven from every town except for Stirling. Edward II finally decided to lead an army against them. Robert and his army defeated the English. For the next 14 years, there were still fights between them. Until, 1328 a peace treaty was signed to show Scotland's independence. Robert died in 1329.

The Battle of Methven
by Tony Wyche
The battle of Methven started when Robert Bruce killed John Comyn in a church in Dumfries. This took King Edward I by complete surprise, so he sent out an army of 3,000 to capture Bruce. He also sent out one of his best generals, Aymer de Valence. He was told to kill Bruce and show no mercy to him. Bruce barley escaped and ran away to the Scottish Highlands with a few others.

King Edward Longshanks
King Edward Longshanks was one of England's greatest kings. His real name was Edward the 1st but he was nicknamed Longshanks because he was so tall. Right after King Edward came to the throne he conquered Wales and made his son the Prince of Wales. As the king he made some new laws. The new laws that he made had a long lasting influence on later kings of England. In 1307 King Edward Longshanks tried to lead an army towards Scotland but he died before he reached the border. King Edward I will forever be known as perhaps the greatest king in the history of England.

[♪Ambient Music♪] With the new timeline in Facebook, you now have the ability to add a nice, big image at the top of your page that known as the cover photo. I'm gonna show you how you can make just a great image up there that fits perfectly all using Photoshop. So notice here I am on my Facebook page, and this is the area I want to fill, great opportunity just to add something really nice here. I'm gonna add a cover from a photo I'm going to upload, but I need to create that first, so I'm gonna go into Photoshop now. Here I am in Photoshop; this is 1 of my images; I had the opportunity to go to Africa this summer, and this is the photo I want to use, and what you saw a second ago was the fact that my-- basically my profile picture is kind of down by this leopard's paws, so I need I need to move this leopard. So in order to do that, I'm actually select the Content-Award Move Tool; This allows you to move content, such as this leopard, so you have room for my profile photo, in this case. So selecting the leopard just like that, then all I need to is just move him back to make sure I have room for my photo. What Photoshop does is it jumps in there, figures out everything and knows to move the items I have selected, as well as fill in that area where this leopard was. All right, so you can see that it's moved the leopard over; it looks great. There might be some extra areas; that's fine. You can always select anything in your photo, so with Content-Aware selected, I'm gonna hit the delete key, check this out. I can fill it with content around what I selected, just like that. This could be anything--anything you want to remove, ex-boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever the case may be, you can remove it with that Content-Aware fill. I think that looks pretty good. Now I need to make it the right size, so I need to crop this down. I'm gonna use the new Crop tool in Photoshop CS6. Notice how I can crop it immediately if I want to, but I need it to be the correct size and resolution, so I'm gonna cancel out of this. Using my Crop tool, I can select Size & Resolution from my Options bar at the top. I need to make sure this is 851 by 315, and I need to make sure the resolution is 72 DPI, since this is for the Web. I can always adjust this how I want it to appear, moving it up an down; maybe I'll move it up a little bit, and now all I need to do is go to File > Save for Web. All right, here's my image, looks great. In fact, I'm just gonna save it out as a JPEG, clicking Save, saving it to my desktop. Now, I can jump back to my Facebook page, select that JPEG I just created, open that up, and then I can save changes just like that. So that's how you can make just a really, rich, good looking image using Photoshop for your Facebook page, but I encourage you to check out Photoshop. There is such much more you can do. I wish I had time to show you, so you're just gonna have to check it out for yourself! [Adobe & You] [Adobe]

Well I find songs about secret families pretty offensive. Having been an unknowing "side project" for some time...
Fun interview. Enjoyed hearing Noodles talk about the Stones. I disagree though I think Mick Taylor is boring.. I like the Stones with Brian Jones playing all those weird instruments. Exile is amazing but man when they started using horns and stuff.. shittay. The spontaneity they had as a bar band was stronger without Taylor.
OMG Gustavo!!! so proud of you!!! That really put a HUGE smile on my face!!! well done my friend! well done!!!

Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap started the day with visits to Old Town, Lincoln and Veazie, and he's planning visits to several other communities before wrapping up in Bangor.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Maine's top election official is visiting polling places across the state as voters cast their ballots on Election Day.
Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap started the day with visits to Old Town, Lincoln and Veazie. He's also stopping in Ellsworth, Searsport, Lewiston, Freeport and Plymouth before wrapping up in Bangor.
That state ballot has five bond proposals asking voters if they support funding initiatives for transportation projects, the Maine National Guard, the University of Maine System, community colleges and Maine Maritime Academy.
A number of towns and cities also have local races and referendum questions to be voted on.
Dunlap is expecting turnout to be on the low side with no candidates on the statewide ballot.

Fourth year
this wiki
A fourth year is a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who is in their fourth year of magical education. Fourth years are typically 14 to 15 years of age.
The fourth year is almost identical in its structure to the third; students sit two or more elective courses in addition to the core classes, and are allowed in Hogsmeade during selected weekends.
During the fourth year
Fourth year students must take Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Herbology. They must also take at least two of Divination, Arithmancy, Study of Ancient Runes, Care of Magical Creatures, and Muggle Studies.[1]
Fourth years typically get more work than third years, to prepare for their O.W.L.s.
|History of Magic
|History of Magic
|Care of Magical Creatures
|Double Arithmancy/
Double Divination
|Double Defence Against the Dark Arts
|Double Potions
Little is known of the curriculum; however, charms students learn the charm to summon things, and the opposite. In history class, they learn about Giant wars and continue their lessons on goblin rebellions. Herbology students learn how to collect bubotuber pus, and this year the teacher has managed to create a cross between manticores and fire crabs, which he forces the students to raise. Divination students begin making dream diaries, and study the planets as well; the teacher is bullied by one of her students and his friend regarding another student's discovery of a supposedly new planet, which is actually Uranus. In Defence Against the Dark Arts, they learn about the Unforgivable Curses from Mr. Moody, and Transfiguration class concerns turning a hedgehog into a pincushion.
Harry's fourth year
With the start of the new school year, Professor Dumbledore announces that a very special event is going to take place at Hogwarts this year: The Triwizard Tournament. The Tournament calls for a single champion from each of the three largest wizarding schools in Europe to compete in a series of trials for the glorious prize of one thousand Galleons. Before long, hosts from the two other schools,the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and the Durmstrang Institute arrive, and it is announced that the three champions will be decided by the Goblet of Fire, an enchanted artefact that chooses the most worthy entrants from those students who submit their names. An age limit on entrants prevents all underage wizards from entering the tournament, excluding Harry, Ron and Hermione from submitting their names.
Choosing the Champions
The champions are soon announced: Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff is to represent Hogwarts, Fleur Delacour for Beauxbatons, and Viktor Krum, the Seeker for the Bulgarian Quidditch World Cup team, representing Durmstrang. But then a fourth name is thrown from the Goblet of Fire: Harry Potter. Since Harry did not submit his name, nor could he have due to the age restriction, the assembly is dumbfounded, none moreso than Harry himself. Although protests issue from the heads of the other schools against two Hogwarts champions, it is decided that the Goblet of Fire has spoken and that changes must be made accordingly. While many think Harry has somehow gotten around Dumbledore's age restricting barrier, the new
Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, an ex-Auror named Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, suggests that perhaps someone entered Harry's name under a fourth school to ensure he would be included in the competition, hoping he might not survive the perilous tasks that awaited the other champions.
Tensions with Ron
Harry's entry into the competition strains his relationship with Ron, who feels once again left in the shadow of his friend, the great Harry Potter. Ron is not alone in shunning Harry; a great many of the students from all three schools assume he somehow cheated his way into the tournament, making Harry's life miserable. As if that weren't enough, Harry develops a hopeless crush on Ravenclaw Seeker Cho Chang.
Though Ron refuses to speak to Harry, he does pass on a message via Hermione that Hagrid wants to see him. The Gamekeeper sneaks Harry into a meeting with Madame Olympe Maxime, Beaxbaxton's Headmistress, through which he reveals that the first task will involve dragons. Harry is also given advice from Moody on how to approach the task. Realising the other schools' champions know about the dragons, Harry tips off Cedric to make sure the contest is fair.
The First Task
Harry, with a little help from Moody and Hermione, manages to survive the dragon task, despite being up against the most violent of the four dragons, the Hungarian Horntail. Harry manages to summon his broom and fly, using flying strategy he'd learned as a Quidditch player to lure the dragon off the eggs long enough for him to zoom in and snatch the golden egg, the prize of the task.
Harry is told that opening the egg will give him the clue for the next task, but when it opens, only a screeching noise can be heard. With a hint from Cedric Diggory, in return for warning him about the dragon, Harry opens the egg underwater and realises he must save someone he loves from under the water.
Second Task
Even with help from Hermione and Ron, who has now forgiven him, Harry struggles to think of a way to breathe underwater for a hour. With a little help from Dobby, Harry discovers gillyweed, and manages to save Ron from under the water. He was, however, slightly side-tracked by making sure all the other captured loved-ones were saved, and when Fleur Delacour's sister is not saved, he drags her to the surface as well, Although this means he is over the time limit, his bravery and valour earn him extra points from the judges.
The Pensieve
Later, Harry and the other champions are informed the next task will be in a maze, filled with magical obstacles, and while Victor Krum and Harry are discussing this, a rather mad looking Barty Crouch Sr. emerges from the forest, asking for Dumbledore. Harry goes to retrieve Dumbledore, but when he returns, they find Krum has been stunned and Crouch is nowhere to be seen.
Not long later, Harry looks into Dumbledore's pensieve and into his memories, not only discovering the Barty Crouch's son was sent to Azkaban but that Snape was in fact, a Death Eater at the time of the First War.
Third Task
At the third task, Harry successfully makes it through the maze, aided by Diggory, and they decide to grab the Cup simultaneously. Unknown to them, the Cup is actually a portkey that transports them to an old cemetery, in the village of Little Hangleton. Awaiting them is Peter Pettigrew, who is carrying what appears to be a deformed infant. This creature orders Wormtail to kill Diggory, who abolishes, leaving Harry in shock and anger. Harry is then stunned and tied to a tombstone.
Rebirth of Lord Voldemort
Here, his blood is taken by Wormtail, who also cuts off his hand (Wormtail's, not Harry's) and places both these things into a cauldron at the creature's command. The creature is revealed to be Lord Voldemort, and the potion made by Wormtail, has brought him back, with the new ability to touch Harry. This also means the magic of his mother has also been lifted, since now the same blood runs through both their veins. Voldemort reveals that he has a servant at Hogwarts who has ensured that Harry would win the tournament and be brought to the graveyard.
Harry's duel with Voldemort
After summoning his Death Eaters (including Lucius Malfoy), Voldemort challenges Harry to a duel. However, his wand and Harry's are "brothers". As the wands' streams interlock, a Priori Incantatem effect occurs, causing the spirit echoes of Voldemort's victims, including Harry's parents, to spill out from his wand. The echoes momentarily protect Harry, allowing him to grab the portkey and escape to Hogwarts with Diggory's body.
When he arrives back at the school, many of the students begin to cheer before they see the body of Cedric. Harry is then ushered away by Moody, and taken to his office where he sits in shock. As Moody probes Harry for information, he reveals he knows that Harry was taken to the graveyard.
Discovering of Barty Crouch Jr.Realising that Moody is in fact the servant at Hogwarts, Moody attempts to kill Harry. Before he has the chance, the teaching staff burst in and slip Moody veritaserum where he reveals he is in fact Barty Crouch Jr., who was secrectly released by his mother from Azkaban, and has been using the Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as Alastor Moody all year. Before Crouch can repeat his confession to the authorities, however, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, who refuses to believe that Voldemort has returned, arrives at Hogwarts, along with a Dementor which sucks out Crouch's soul.
End of the Year
Dumbledore quickly reinstates the Order of the Phoenix, and a memorial feast for Cedric is held, where Dumbledore tells the school what has happened in the graveyard and the change that this event will surely bring.

Just a helpful reminder from Feminist Law Professors if you're looking for tips on how to prevent rape.
We agree with them that these ten tips absolutely, positively can prevent many sexual assaults without fail.
1. Don't put drugs in people's drinks in order to control their behavior.
2. When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!
3. If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!
4. NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.
5. If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON'T ASSAULT THEM!
6. Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.
7. USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.
8. Always be honest with people! Don't pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don't communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.
9. Don't forget: you can't have sex with someone unless they are awake!
10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone "on accident" you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.
is asking someone for sex assult????
No, asking someone if they want to have sex with you is not sexual assault.
However, if someone asks someone over and over who has said they don't want to, or gives anyone any kind of continual sexual attention that person has made clear they do not want, then that's sexual harassment.

I love this, thank you so much.
When being told how to avoid assault most lecturers tend to give tips to "prepare" people from being possible victims. This reinforces the idea that it is the victims' fault for being assaulted. Many thanks to you for saying the much needed idea that the assaulters need to be taught to change.

We must deal with ourselves, but you must deal with us, too." — Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Pulitzer Prize winner
Seeing The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's fight for civil rights, a documentary film by Bonnie Boswell, prompted me to go back to read a second book on Young, Whitney Young: Militant Mediator, by his official biographer Dennis Dickerson. Whitney Moore Young was born 7/31/21 in Kentucky and drowned in Nigeria 3/11/71. Ramsey Clark saw Young's arm go up twice in the water that day as if in trouble and pulled him out. The two autopsies that were performed disagreed on the cause of Young's death. As head of the National Urban League, "His organization effectively lobbied the House and Senate to pass the Civil Rights Act(s) of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965."
Young worked with President(s) John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson. Continue Reading →

Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said Monday that Lee Gang-guk was trying to get used to the 777 during Saturday's crash landing. She says the pilot had nearly 10,000 hours flying other planes but had only 43 hours on the 777.
Accident investigators are trying to determine whether pilot error, mechanical problems or something else was to blame for the crash.
The head of the National Transportation Safety Board said earlier that the pilots were flying too slowly as they approached the airport and tried to abort the landing but crashed barely a second later.

Berlin anti-circumcision protest.
(photo credit:Pawel Kopczynski/Reuters)
BERLIN – Mainly Jewish protesters, as well as Muslims and Christians, demonstrated on Sunday for religious freedom and the decriminalization of circumcision in the Federal Republic.Police officials said 300 demonstrators appeared at Bebelplatz in the Mitte district in eastern Berlin.According to German media reports, the former head of Berlin's 10,500-member Jewish community, Lala Süskind, spoke at the rally and said it was unacceptable that people who are incompetent and intolerant continue to "pipe up" against circumcision and find a large echo in German society.

If you aren't familiar with the story, a Hermit Crab gets a new shell, thinks it looks pretty boring so he sets out over the next year to decorate it with new friends he finds along the way. After a year he has outgrown his shell but is sad to have to leave his friends behind. Another Hermit Crab comes along in need of a shell and he graciously offers to give him his shell, but only if he promises to take good care of his friends.
A couple weeks ago I saw THIS hermit crab made out of a hand print and a paper plate. I pinned it immediately and knew it was exactly what I was looking for to go along with this story. When we started making our craft we decided we wanted to re-create our favorite scene in the book. Behold, our Eric Carle masterpiece....
It's very possible that some might think I'm over the top. I mean, did I really need to re-create our favorite scene in the book?... Yup! I sure did! And you know what, it was a masterpiece that we ALL DID TOGETHER and we are pretty darn proud of it, so if I'm over the top, then I don't really care. hahaha!
So how did we do it???
1. Cover your child's right hand in red paint and press it onto a piece of white card stock paper. This creates the crab body.
2. When it is completely dry, cut it out like pictured below.
3. For the shell we used one of those small paper plates. I didn't have any on hand so ended up buying a package at Wal-Mart for $1.88. I'm sure we'll use them for other crafts so I didn't mind. Turn the paper right side up (the side you eat on) and on the left edge draw a squiggly line for the opening of the crabs shell. Cut it out, then turn it over.
4. Put some glue on the end of the hand print and attach it to the opening you just cut out on the paper plate. Then, using a black marker, draw the outline of the shell on the paper plate.
5. We wanted our hermit crab to be reminiscent of what was in the story, so we used water color paints to add some colors to his shell.
6. For the eyes we hot glued 2 pieces of pipe cleaners with wiggly eyes on the ends. Here is your completed crab. Isn't he cute?? You could stop here if you want, but since I am an "over the top" kind of person (LOL!) we kept going.
7. Create all the little creatures that Hermit Crab had on his shell. I just winged this so I'm including close up pictures of the creatures so you can see them in more detail.
8. After we created all the creatures, we glued them onto the Hermit Crab.
Again, you can totally stop now....But I figured since we got this far we mine as well create the WHOLE scene.
9. By this time, Andy was home from school and he wanted to help out with the project, so I had him take a blue crayon and make the squiggly blue water lines on a piece of white card stock paper, just like in the story. Then he put some glue on the bottom of the paper and sprinkled sand on the bottom.
10. Glue your Hermit Crab onto your created scene.
11. Next, cut out some rocks out of gray/silverish paper and glue then onto your paper around your crab.
12. Lastly, I cut out a sea urchin using a scrap piece of cardboard paper I had and Andy used marker to add some brown and black to him. Attach him to your paper and your masterpiece is complete.
A kind reader left me a comment telling me about a template that would help teachers with the decorations on the hermit crab. You can find them at Scholastic by clicking HERE.
Happy Crafting!!
Linking up to THESE great parties!
