Brainerd Lakes Fight Mafia, like one big 'fighting' family
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) — a combination of boxing, wrestling, karate, jiujitsu and kickboxing among other combat styles — tends to get a bit of gruff for being "excessively violent." But Brainerd Lakes Fight Mafia (FAFIA), an MMA training center located in downtown Brainerd, is proving that the newly popularized sport is just as much about family as it is about fighting.
"We're really just a giant and somewhat dysfunctional family," said Alicia Nauheimer, whose fiance Steve Foslien owns and operates FAFIA. "You see how hard they train, and how much time is put into it, you become so close to everyone involved.
"We've become a family, watch each others kids, bring the kids to the gym and overall just really care about each other...watching them fight has brough that to us."
Foslien, who hails from California, moved his MMA aspirations from Dallas to Brainerd just over three years ago. Starting from humble beginnings in his longtime friend, Christopher Santiago's sister's basement in to the building on Front Street that FAFIA is now housed in, the space allows everything from merchandise, to watching and of course actual training, as Foslien's vision has now become a reality.
"This has been my passion and my livelihood for as long as I can remember," said Foslien, who began his MMA training at the age of 8. "We've grown so much over the past three years, going from just a couple fighters on a (competition) card to nine for our latest (Savage Entertainment) upcoming event in April.
"And while we're mainly an MMA school for guys who want to fight in the cage, lately we're picking up a lot of moms and kids which has been awesome."
FAFIA offers four different options outside of MMA training, with FAFIA (for adults interested in learning and training for MMA) lil' FAFIA (MMA courses for kids 4-16), women's power hour (self-defense and kickboxing) and men's jiujitsu/boxing/self-defense. A little bit of something for everybody.
"FAFIA is really specifically designed for people looking to get in to cage fighting," said Foslien, who has a purple belt in jiujitsu. "We do a lot of take down defense and cardio to train how to keep standing up and throwing punches.
"In our women's class we do a lot of kickboxing, as that seems to be what they really want to do but we like to mix it up and do something new and different each time, especially trying to focus on getting out of a physically dangerous situation."
"And then we've got 10-12 children in our lil'FAFIA right now, with our youngest being a four-year-old girl. They have a lot of fun in there, Matt Thurstin, one of our MMA fighters teaches that course and the kids have a great time with him."
Apparent from the moment two lil'FAFIA members walked in to the studio, Nicki and Jill Glomski, was the amount of fun to be had by all ages.
"I love playing dodgeball in class," said Jill with a giant grin on her face and who quickly added, "except when (Matt) Thurstin cheats!" To which he replied, "I don't cheat I'm just that good."

What's your greatest gaming achievement?
Posted on 3rd Aug 2009 at 10:43 by Joe Martin with 48 comments
Yes, I've made millions trading star dust and I've stormed castles and heroically held the line…but those aren't the moments I'm proud of, not really. Instead, my greatest achievements in gaming recognise games as something I've actually done, not a virtual experience. My mental list of great achievements doesn't include the time that I saved the world from an evil Vizier, but it does have space for the time that I fought through the climactic elevator battle in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time without dying.
I'm being careful here not to fall into the all-too-familiar trap of getting carried away with my own story by the way and I can still draw a distinction between my greatest gaming achievement and my greatest actual achievement. The time that I made it all the way to SinTower in a HardCorps run (i.e. all in one go) in SiN Episodes is a highlight, but it pales next to the first time I got published. There's a Everything2 quote that comes to mind on this topic – "the most you ever dream of is not better than the least you ever accomplish."
Even so though, I'm at the moment readying myself to embark on something that could be a great achievement for me both in terms of gaming performance and personally. I've been building up to it for a fortnight.

The first ever rugby match under the lights at Yager Stadium at Moore Bowl is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The Topeka/Washburn Rugby Club will face students of the Defense Academy of the United Kingdom in a fundraising match to benefit the families of the two Topeka Police officers killed in December. A free will donation is the only entrance fee when the gates open at 6 p.m. A minimum $2 donation is requested.
Matt Crawford, president of the Topeka Rugby Club and a Washburn alumnus, said the club has a strong history of fundraising. Several current and former players work in law enforcement and knew the officers and their families. The fundraiser just made sense.
Topeka Police Cpl. David Gogian, 50, and officer Jeff Atherly, 29, were killed in the line of duty in December 2012. All money raised will help their families attend National Police Week events in May in Washington, D.C. The week includes candlelight vigils for fallen officers as well as the Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS) conference. There, the families will be able to connect with others and learn coping skills.
Gogian was a former player on the rugby squad, which was started by Washburn School of Law students in 1972. Both officers were Washburn graduates with criminal justice degrees.
Students from the British defense academy visit Ft. Leavenworth for training twice yearly, in March and June, Crawford said. The troops have played summer matches against the Topeka club for the last few years.
"Rugby was born in England," Crawford said. "It should be a really fun night."
And it's hard to know who will win.
"They always have enough players to field a team," Washburn faculty member David Price said of the British. "Sometimes they just throw it together, sometimes they are very good."
Price, who teaches marketing and entrepreneurship in the Washburn School of Business, is the faculty advisor of the club. Currently, there are five Washburn students on the squad.
Crawford said the night is about the officers' families. "We are trying to get as many people out as possible to watch a crazy game."

I think all 3 can be home run threats on any given play. That is what made us so dangerous on offense in 2011. Led by Eli, the Bomb Squad could be in full effect again in 2013.

BATON ROUGE (AP) — Louisiana lawmakers are planning to hold a joint meeting of the Senate and House Natural Resources committees in mid-February about the large sinkhole in northern Assumption Parish.
State Sen. Rick Ward III, vice chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee, told The Advocate the joint hearing, which he said has been discussed for months, would likely be held at the State Capitol.
The 8.5-acre sinkhole, which scientists have said they think formed as a result of a failed Texas Brine Co. LLC salt cavern, has forced a nearly six-monthlong evacuation of 150 residences in the Grand Bayou and Bayou Corne areas.
A variety of state agencies have been responding to the sinkhole with Houston-based Texas Brine, but the response has drawn criticism from some quarters for its pace.

If you are going to be in Hamburg for a short period this flat can fit you well. It is simple, but spacious and next to the Berliner Tor SBahn (train) station, which connects you very quickly with the center of Hamburg. It just has two big rooms, one small kitchen and one medium size bathroom, but it is enough for a short stay. Hope you enjoy it. Regards.
We spent a weekend in Hamburg in the 7UP! appartment with 7 friends and had a wonderful time and a lot of fun. The apartment was perfect for us, beds were really nice. Kitchen was well equipped. 7UP! is excellently located in the center of the city with everything within either walking distance or by U-bahn. I really recommend getting an Hamburg Card to get free travels by public transportation.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and love to come back one day!
It was a nice and cozy room. The host was really friendly. The stay was very pleasant.
The apartment was in a great location very close to the metro and the centre of the city. Everything in the apartment worked well and we had a pleasant stay.
The only issue we had was with the wifi which is intermittent due to the flat being in the basement.
We've had an excellent stay in Hamburg at this accomodation. The beautiful staircase and historic outlook make this place a treat for the eye. An adequate offer of two bathrooms and one separate toilet is more than suited to make your stay pleasant. Our hosts were very professional, and in my opinion worked quite well with havings guests in their home. Although you are all in the same (huge!) apartment, you're not at all bothered in any way by each others presence.
The apartment was located very conveniently, only a stone's throw away from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and nice shops and restaurants. A quick stroll to the center took no less than 10 minutes, with lovely sights and shops on the way. We've had a great stay here and would stay here again the next time we visit Hamburg!
thank you Fritz, the appart was very clean and calm. We enjoyed our stay in Hambourg. We will come again with pleasure.
We had a very nice stay in Hansaplatz 2, 4th floor.
Very nice apartment with all equipment, nice bed, fully equiped kitchen and nice clean bathrooms (3 of them!!).
And very kind owners. We had a lovely weekend:-)

Prince of the Cosmos Returns to the PlayStation(R)2 in Sequel to One of 2004's Most Acclaimed Games
SANTA CLARA, Calif., (April 25, 2005) Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today "We Love Katamari(TM)," the sequel to 2004's beloved cosmic clump-rolling game, "Katamari Damacy(TM)." "We Love Katamari," available exclusively for the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system later this year, will feature the diminutive yet determined Prince, with an assortment of celestial cousins and the eccentric King of All Cosmos.
The King of All Cosmos grew to stardom after taking all of the Prince's katamaris and replacing the stars. His fans knew no bounds and wished to see more katamaris fill the sky. The King of All Cosmos desired to appease all of their requests and recruited the Prince and his cousins to help. Now they are tasked with rolling up even more clumps, each larger and more different than the one before.
In "We Love Katamari," players will find themselves in various new locations around Earth as the Prince and his cousins roll up different katamaris according to the fans' requests. "We Love Katamari" continues the series' trademark graphical style and musical excellence with an original soundtrack and hundreds of brand new items including Koi fish, angels and famous Earthly landmarks to roll up. The Prince's celestial rolling has no boundaries; as his katamari grows larger, he can roll up literally everything in his path from underwater creatures to mountains and even the Eiffel Tower itself!
"'Katamari Damacy' was the break-out hit of 2004 garnering tremendous accolades while delivering an innovative yet intuitive style of play to gamers," said Yoshi Niki, Business Unit Director at Namco Hometek Inc. "We are hard at work on the second installment of this landmark series that will deliver a new level of originality and style that will have gamers shouting, 'We Love Katamari!'"
Players can also roll with a friend in the all-new two-player cooperative mode. With each player controlling part of the clump, they will have to devise new strategies and communicate their rolling intentions in a new level of katamari madness. Battle Mode has also returned to "We Love Katamari" in extended form with three size scopes for competitive rolling action.

Mike Allsop had climbed some of the world's top mountains and even conquered Mt Everest without a guide, but he wasn't a runner.
That was until two years ago when he decided to set himself the goal of running seven marathons in seven days on seven continents.
It's a challenge very few have achieved, and in fact no one in New Zealand, Australia or America has ever achieved.
Allsop, who flies 737 aircraft for Air New Zealand, hopes to be the first Kiwi to do so next month when he runs a marathon in the Falkland Islands, Chile (Santiago), the US (Los Angeles), UK (London) Morocco (Casablanca) and Hong Kong before completing the feat in Auckland a week later.
"A couple of years ago I climbed Mt Everest ... and I wanted a challenge as big as that without the risk. I've got three little kids that need a dad more than I need to go and climb Everest again,'' he said.
After reading British adventurer Ranulph Fiennes' autobiography, in which he wrote of completing the feat, Allsop decided to set the goal of seven marathons in seven days on seven continents.
Although technically Falkland Islands is part of South America, Fiennes believed it was biologically similar to Antarctica and he classed it as Antarctica when he first did it, Allsop said.
So the serious training began.
"I wasn't a runner before this. I went for a 6km run a couple of years ago and everything hurt.''
Just before he was due to give the challenge a go in July last year, the 43-year-old was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his spine while trekking in Nepal.
"So 10 days before I'm due to go in July, it all fell apart so I've retrained, recuperated, recovered and now ready to go this time.''
In the past three months his training has increased, including running the equivalent of a marathon and then half a marathon every weekend this month.
The most he has ever run was two marathons back-to-back "so the rest of it's going to be on guts and determination''.
Ultra marathon runner Lisa Tamati has been mentoring Allsop, and she believes he can do it.
"He's had a couple of set backs with injuries which as sort of hampered him in his training, but now he's back on track and I just have no doubt whatsoever that he's going to do it.
"Doing this sort of thing requires mostly an attitude of `I'm going to do it no matter what', and Mike's definitely got that,'' she said.
Anyone who could climb Mt Everest could run seven marathons in seven days, she said.
"He's trained really well the last few months and he's really on track for it and I'm hoping to be there for his last marathon when he comes in and just to cheer him in through the last few kilometres.''
Allsop initially wanted to raise $10,000 for children's charity KidsCan, but when US health science company Usana said it would donate $10,000 when he crossed the finish line, he raised the target to $50,000.
He said that "of course'' he could complete the challenge.
"I've just got total 100 per cent belief in myself and there's absolutely no doubt.''
His wife Wendy had supported him throughout.
"She married me knowing I was [a climber] and knowing I was doing this sort of stuff and now it's about finding a balance, so it's a very cool balance because it doesn't take me away for three months, and the chances of me getting myself killed are fairly remote.''
Allsop was hoping that a "whole heap of people'' will run the final few kilometres of the final race with him in Auckland.
And it doesn't stop there, Allsop and Tamati are then aiming to break a world record and complete the world's highest marathon in Nepal in October.
Mike Allsop's greatest climbs
* Mt Everest in Nepal.
* Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa.
* Alpamayo in the Peruvian Andes.
* Every year he runs tours to Everest base camp for Air New Zealand staff.

Candidate Profile for Mary Piepho?
Original post made by [removed], another community, on Apr 23, 2012
Since district 3 is part of our region, would you provide Diablo, Blackhawk and Tassajara Valley as Candidate Profile for Mary Piepho?
After all these years, it would be interesting to know who Mary is as a supervisor and what plans she has going forward to serve District 3 and Contra Costa County.

Dear Gina,
Please Realize that the Diablo Vista Region neighborhoods extend from Saranap to Blackhawk and District 2 and 3 elections are of critical importance to neighborhoods. The Bluejays insults are simply that and not a rational answer to be sponsored by you.
Does Mary intend to hide any future actions from voters in favor of her supporters or can Diablo Vista neighborhoods expect history and future commitment in a candidate profile?
Sponsor an answer not insults!

I attribute you harsh (kind description) response to the original post to Mary Piepho and that, my friend, is not complimentary to her political career. Though she did not write the note, she receives regular updates through her mechanism and either stands by and appreciates your comments or would have your post removed, again through her ground forces.
Having been one, I can attest to her methods.
So, be aware tat your insults are viewed by plenty of people and can only serve to undermine you leader.
And as Mary herself would tell you, we are all one county and interest in our neighbors issues brings us together through mutual support and accomplishments. In that sense, even the least offensive part of your post, and presumably it's point, is off the mark.

Personally, I would venture that jjjj's comments were aimed directly at Hal Bailey's transparent efforts and not so much about Mary Piepho's "political career". This new posting is just Hal's latest effort to take another shot at one of his favorite politicians-he has created a little reputation for himself. Jjjj is like many of us, who have just grown tired with Hal's little games. What is crazy is that Hal actually thinks he is being clever and that no one sees through his transparency. Nothing could be farther from reality.
Hal is like a well-read book and once again Hal's infatuation with Mary Piepho rears its ugly head.
You see, Hal doesn't really deal in fact or reality. If he did he would have already realized that Mary (and Federal Glover) are not running campaigns. So…. conventional wisdom would dictate that Mary is not a "candidate" at this point. Maybe deep down Hal knows it, but he would never pass up an opportunity to post.
In fact I am not sure that jjjj is even really insulting Mr. Bailey-he is just pointing out the obvious. It would be hard to make a case that Mr. Bailey does not act foolish with what he posts here. Let's not forget that Mr. Bailey does not live in District 3. He should probably stay focused on helping his candidate out. Hmmmm, I wonder if she (Candace) really wants his "help"?
Once again we all know that if Hal was really seeking answers to his questions he would contact the Supervisor Piepho's office-or visit her website. But that is not what Mr. Bailey is all about now is it?
…And they say there are no stupid questions! Guess my 3rd grade teacher was wrong.

Dear Gina and Jessica,
Your sponsored response from Informed Resident, as usual, avoids and deflects requests from your readers in neighborhoods that "request and suggest topics of interest" for coverage on your Express' home pages. Whether or not Mary or Federal will face late-registering write-in candidates does not determine Mary's and Federal's need to present their future priorities for CCC-BOS. Since both are on the ballot and asking for validation as supervisors from voters in the June primary, they both should feel obligated to fulfill voters' interests in their perspectives.
More critical to both candidates is the interests among social media participants to write-in "other" as a lack-of-confidence vote in districts 3 and 5. Although that would not impact candidates' election, it would demonstate dissatisfaction with CCC-BOS by a significant segment of voters. A better solution is a profile of such candidates in regional media that presents candidates' intentions to serve voters' will and interests.
Thus, the request among your readers remains, "What does Mary see as the future of Contra Costa County and how will she serve Contra Costans?"

Can anyone defend calling someone an "old fool" as a contribution to civil discourse?
I saw something similar on another topic along with an anonymous post referring to someone as being a coward for not attending a meeting. That's right - an anonymous poster refers to someone else as a coward.

Why has Goodell not suspended him yet?

"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."
here are the list of restrictions:
• A midnight curfew. If he's going to miss curfew, team officials must know in advance;
• No drinking alcohol.
• He can't attend any strip clubs and can only attend nightclubs if they are approved by the team and he has a security team with him.
• He must attend counseling sessions twice a week.
• A rotating three-man security team will leave one man with Bryant at all times.
• Members of the security team will drive Bryant to practices, games and team functions

Antenna-The Producers
When one hears the word "apothecary," up pop images of a cramped, dimply lit room filled with shelves of dark jars and a Nostradamus-looking guy hunched in the corner. Not so with the Malin + Goetz flagship in New York City's Chelsea hood. "We really wanted to modernize the apothecary," explains New York native Andrew Goetz, 46, one of the visionaries behind the four-year-old grooming brand. He and professional (and personal) partner Matthew Malin, 41, originally from Detroit, achieved this fresh effect by erecting a gleaming-white store on 7th Avenue with shelves that glow blue at night. By day, customers step over the chubby shop mascot who lazes by the door – a bulldog named Bob – and explore numerous rows of minimalist white bottles and products being held aloft by large Be@rbrick and Labbit sculptures, or nestled between Munny dolls and miniature flat-screen televisions. "The Kidrobot stuff and the dogs, we have because we love them," explains Goetz. "It doesn't matter if it makes any sense; it's just something we enjoy." But don't think for a minute that anything about the brand's success is coincidental. Prior to the launch of the company, Goetz had been honing his top notch taste for 10 years as marketing director at Vitra, the Swiss designed manufacturer that gave the likes of Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid their first commissions. During that time, Malin was logging in experience as a cosmetic buyer for Barneys New York, followed by stints at cult brand Kiehl's – a forerunner in the now booming men's grooming market – and Prada's Parfums division. "We were both working for companies at the forefront of their fields," says Malin. "A lot of the companies that I was working with were being bought by corporations, and after Kiehl's was sold to L'Oreal, we thought we'd be wise to start leveraging the relationships and experience we had and do something for ourselves." Aside from being a valid business plan, Malin also saw a personal need in a unisex grooming line. "I suffer from a host of things from rosacea to eczema and seborrhea, and seborrhea, and I'm allergic to synthetic fragrances," he says. "We wanted to fill a void for sensitive skin by creating something that's simple, uncomplicated, modern and forward – and for anyone. We took these ideas and blended modern design within it." The whole concept of the brand is the idea of taking modern design to re-interpret these old chemist labels in nothing more than what they were meant to be: functional," says Goetz. "They're really transparent in the way that all the information is there, and there's functionality to the way you read the bottles. If you're looking for directions or ingredients, each one is in a different font weight." The signature clean product design – with body, hair and face each represented by different colors, and cleansers and moisturizers in different shades – was imagines in a systematic way by 2x4, a company that has also worked with Nike and Rem Koolhaas. "Even when we came up with the name, they sort of made it into a formula," says Goetz about the vaguely Swiss-looking logo. "We have tons of Europeans coming in here, saying, 'Oh, we thought you were from Europe.' But instead it's two guys sitting in the front with a bulldog." This down-home simplicity combined with intelligent design has paid off. The privately owned company has been profitable since the first year of business. The second year they were up 250 percent, the third 100 percent, and currently they're up 35 percent in a tough, recession-laden year. It's all thanks to a customer – 50 percent of whom are men, on the average 25 to 45 years old – who gets it. "The label 'metrosexual' came out because guys caring was so new a few years ago. But then men started to learn the difference between products and they started to see results," says Goetz, a man who used to lather up with a lone Neutrogena bar head to toe. "Once I started using the crèmes and potions that Matthew brought home, I saw the difference. And while the Neutrogena worked, it's like you can either drive a Mercedes or a Dodge. Both will bring you from point A to point B, but in a completely different manner." And for other guys who want to step up from soap on a rope without an overcomplicated, grandmotherly regimen, Malin + Goetz offers it in a straightforward way: effective, nonirritant washed for your face, body and hair, and moisturizers to add afterward. For the advanced, there are naturally scented musks and candles. All with the added bonus of making your bathroom cabinet look MoMA worthy. "We're not doing this because the market demands it. We do it because we need it or our friends need it," says Goetz. "And it's important to control your destiny." There's nothing old-fashioned about that.

What is the most important information I should know about minocycline (Minocin Capsules)?
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant. It could harm the unborn baby or cause permanent tooth discoloration later in life.
Minocycline can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while using minocycline.
Minocycline passes into breast milk and may affect bone and tooth development in a nursing baby. Do not take this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Children should not take minocycline. Minocycline can cause permanent yellowing or graying of the teeth in children younger than 8 years old.
Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Minocycline can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors.
Do not take iron supplements, multivitamins, calcium supplements, antacids, or laxatives within 2 hours before or after taking minocycline. These products can make minocycline less effective.
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics.
Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date on the label has passed. Using expired minocycline can cause damage to your kidneys.

Attack at Godric's Hollow (1981)
this wiki
Some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and, as such, spoilers will be present.
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "All anyone knows is, he turned up in the village where you was all living, on Hallowe'en ten years ago. You was just a year old. He came ter yer house an' — an' — 'You-Know-Who killed 'em. An' then — an' this is the real myst'ry of the thing — he tried to kill you, too... But he couldn't do it. Never wondered how you got that mark on yer forehead? That was no ordinary cut. That's what yeh get when a powerful, evil curse touches yeh — took care of yer mum an' dad an' yer house, even — but it didn't work on you, an' that's why yer famous, Harry."
- —Rubeus Hagrid describing the attack[src]
The attack at Godric's Hollow took place on 31 October (Hallowe'en), 1981. The attack happened not even a week after Peter Pettigrew was made the Potters' secret keeper, when he gave up their location to Lord Voldemort.
Having been told half of the Prophecy by Severus Snape, Voldemort came to believe his mortal enemy to be Harry Potter and travelled to the Potters' home in Godric's Hollow. While in the Potter's home he murdered James and Lily Potter, who died protecting an infant Harry. When he attempted to murder Harry, Lily's loving sacrifice allowed Harry to live and Voldemort's soul was ripped from his destroyed body.
Background information
- "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...."
- —Sybill Trelawney's first prophecy[src]
About a year before Harry's birth, Sybill Trelawney met Albus Dumbledore in the Hog's Head to interview for the Divination professorship at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During the interview, Trelawney slipped into a trance and delivered a prophecy. This prophecy referred to a young boy born at the end of July whose parents had defied Voldemort three times. It said that the boy would have power that Lord Voldemort lacked and that the boy would be able to defeat the Dark Lord.
Death Eater Severus Snape was eavesdropping at the keyhole, but he was interrupted by the barman, but not before he had heard half of the prophecy. Immediately, Snape took everything he had heard to Voldemort, who decided that the boy was Harry Potter, although it could very well have been Neville Longbottom. When Snape found out that Voldemort had decided to eliminate the Potter child, he begged his master to spare Lily Potter.
Betrayal and attack
- "Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!"
- —James Potter moments before his death[src]
Once the Potters were aware that Voldemort was after their son, Albus Dumbledore advised them to go into hiding using the Fidelius Charm. The Potters did so, moving to Godric's Hollow, suggesting that Sirius Black be their Secret-Keeper. However, Sirius felt that this was a rather obvious move, as he and James were best friends, so he suggested that Peter Pettigrew be the Secret-Keeper instead. In the interest of secrecy, the Potters agreed and told no one else, not even Dumbledore.[1]
However, Pettigrew had been working as a double agent for the Death Eaters and told Lord Voldemort of the Potters' whereabouts. Voldemort travelled to their home on Hallowe'en. Upon arriving, he saw James, Lily, and Harry in the same room, James playing with Harry. Seeing Voldemort coming, James gave Harry to Lily, shouting that she take him to safety.
Voldemort then entered the house, quickly murdering James who was going for his discarded wand. He then proceeded upstairs to kill the boy. He found Lily and Harry locked in a room with furniture blocking the door. Faithful to Severus Snape's request, Voldemort asked the unarmed Lily, who was guarding the cot where Harry sat, to step aside, but Lily refused to move. Voldemort then warned her several times, but she refused to stop protecting her son. When she did not move again, he remorsefully murdered her. He then proceeded to murder the infant Harry.
Lily's loving sacrifice protected Harry, something that Voldemort did not realise as he was unable to understand or feel love. When Voldemort went to murder him, the spell rebounded. It struck his body obliterating his corporeal form and driving his completely unstable soul out of the body. His wand was blasted from his "corpse" and landed nearby. Since his soul was as unstable as it was a bit of his it splintered off and attached itself to the only living being left in the cottage, Harry himself. Harry survived with just a lightning bolt scar on his forehead, while his parents were dead. this incident sealed Harry's fate and labelling him the "Boy Who Lived".
- "Is it true, Albus? Lily and James... are dead?"
- —Minerva McGonagall after hearing of the attack[src]
The effects of Voldemort's curse went beyond just the two wizards; half of the top floor of the house was blown apart by the rebounding curse. Albus Dumbledore was immediately alerted that something significant had happened.[2] Rubeus Hagrid arrived soon after and rescued Harry Potter from the ruins. In the ruins of the cottage, Harry was described to have been radiating in pure light. After realising Peter Pettigrew's betrayal, Sirius Black came to the cottage. He offered to take Harry, but Hagrid refused on Dumbledore's orders. Sirius then lent Hagrid his motorbike and went off the seek revenge on Peter. Also that night, Peter Pettigrew visited and retrieved the Dark Lord's wand, hiding it in an undisclosed location. In the aftermath of the attack, the Muggle police was called to the house where they found James and Lily Potter, but their child Harry had disappeared without a trace. Sometime later the house was made invisible to Muggles and left in its ruined condition as a memorial to the Potters and the tragedy that befell them. A sign was added in front of the cottage that depicted that nights events. People would often carve inspirational messages into the wood of the sign, wishing Harry luck and showing their support of him.The Potter memorial was also erected in the aftermath of Voldemort's attack. The memorial is a statue at the centre of the village square in Godric's Hollow. From a distance, it appears as an obelisk, carved with the names of people who died in a war. While Muggles can see only this obelisk, a witch or wizard can see that the memorial changes into a statue of a family as he or she approaches: James, Lily, and an infant Harry Potter.
As a portion of Voldemort's soul resided in Harry, the two shared a bond, causing Harry to feel Voldemort's anger or happiness. Also, as the Dark Lord grew more and more powerful, Harry began to see into his mind, seeing Voldemort's thoughts and actions, sometimes through his senses. Harry also dreamed about things Voldemort wanted or things he was obsessing over.
In 1993, whenever Harry was affected by the effects of Dementors of Azkaban, he heard memories of what occurred during the attack before Lily's death and in 1997, while sharing Voldemort's mind, Harry viewed the entire attack, that Voldemort at the time was recalling.
Battle of the Department of Mysteries
Soon after his rebirth, Lord Voldemort realised this connection and began to use it to his advantage. Voldemort wanted to hear the full contents of the Prophecy and formulated a plan that would prey upon Harry's love for his friends, knowing that if he threatened someone for whom Harry cared, the young wizard would rush to their defence. Therefore, he planted false images in Harry's mind of him torturing Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. Harry, along with his friends went to the Ministry of Magic to save Sirius, which resulted in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and Sirius's death, but also confirmed that Voldemort was back and precipitated open war.
Battle of Hogwarts
In the spring of 1998, after hunting down Voldemort's Horcruxes for an entire year, Harry, Ron, and Hermione returned to Hogwarts, when Harry confirmed that a Horcrux was hidden there. After Lord Voldemort discovered that Harry was at the school, he quickly assembled an army to take the school and Harry Potter. Hogwarts attempted to defend itself against Death Eaters, but those defences were soon breached.
In the fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and by the height of the battle, all the Horcruxes except Nagini and Harry had been destroyed. Seeing that his death was essential to the defeat of Voldemort, Harry sacrificed himself, but in doing so, the piece Voldemort's soul that was attached to his was destroyed, and Harry survived. After it appeared that the defenders of Hogwarts had been defeated, Neville Longbottom beheaded Nagini, and fighting broke out again. In these final moments of the battle, Harry Potter defeated the now mortal Voldemort, bringing an end to the battle and the Second Wizarding War.[3]

חוות דעת על מקומות לינה אחרים שמציע/ה מארח/ת זה/זו
Our stay in this appartment was perfect! Clean, cute, perfectly situated, close to École Militaire metro stop, bars&restaurants, and grocery stores. Jérémy was kind and helpful, he even let us leave our luggage until late during the last day. The only problem we found is the bathroom no-door situation. Having a curtain replacing a door, especially in a bathroom, is really awkward. But the rest was all ok! I totally recommend it.
Lovely little apartment in a fantastic location. Very quiet side street which was good, and it wasn't too hot despite the fact that Paris was sweltering. High enough up to be able to leave the windows open overnight. Some of the instructions - e.g. How to get rid of the rubbish - were out of date and there was a bit of confusion about picking the key up but it worked out in the end and otherwise was an absolutely super place for anyone spending time in the Latin Quarter. I'd stay there again.
Beautiful apartment in a great central location! It has everything you need and is the perfect size. The bed is very comfortable and I love the apartment's quirky and clean decor. My only critique is that the shower drain was quite blocked and so the water would fill up quickly at the bottom, and the water would sometimes change temperature... But this was not a big deal to us. :) <3
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
A good apartment, in a very good location. The apartment is quite small but was perfect for what we wanted. The interior is a good standard with a fridge, microwave and hob and a modern bathroom. It also has an iron and hairdryer which isn't mentioned on the site.
The area has plenty of good bars and restaurants and the ones we visited were very good quality and reasonably priced especially compared to the more touristy areas.
The main Metro / RER station Chaletlet - Les Halles is less than a five minute walk away and the Metro stops on the Rue de Rivoli are also close by.
Overall very pleased and would definitely recommend a stay.

"Our biggest arguments have been when we're on the road and we get lost," he says. "We have arguments then like we'd never usually have. GPS is the thing that I've found that saved our band — and our relationship. It's our miracle, our relationship counselor. Spread the word to other bands."
Long before acquiring this magical piece of relationship-saving technology, Johnson and Schifino met at a party, when they were art students at the Brooklyn campus of the Pratt Institute. They started dating first; then a friend gave Schifino assorted pieces of a drum set, and Johnson acquired a keyboard, and they began to experiment in the bedroom of their apartment, with a towel muffling the drums in order to avoid disturbing any sound-sensitive neighbors.
"It wasn't an idea to start a band," says Johnson. "We'd just work out a beat, I'd work out a melody, and she'd tell me to make it faster." The lyrics come last, and they're often nonsensical — sometimes Johnson simply Frankensteins them together, via random selected sentences from pages of Schifino's writing.
Eventually, a friend talked them into playing a gig, and that led to more shows, a self-titled album (and a sophomore release, coming this January on Fader Label), and the inevitable intermingling of life as a couple and life as a band — which, Johnson says, for Matt and Kim, are not two separate entities.
"There's no difference at all distinguishing between the two. There's no clocking out. We spend so much time together that we only have one cell phone. And that pretty much sums us up."
The SubmarinesI think it might be harder than it is easier.
That's the candid truth that John Dragonetti, one half of the synth-tastic, Postal Service-y power-pop band the Submarines (who'll play the Middle East in February), gives me on the phone from Los Angeles. Dragonetti is a West Coast dweller now, but he and wife/co-Submarine Blake Hazard had their musical (and romantic) beginnings in Boston. In the late '90s, a friend introduced Dragonetti — who had attended Berklee for two semesters and played in a psych-pop band called Jack Drag — to Hazard, a solo pop singer-songwriter.
"I loved her voice," says Dragonetti. "She was the first person I had worked with who could really sing." The two began collaborating, and eventually embarked on a European tour together, though they were playing backup for each other, rather than performing as one band.
"We fell in love when we were touring," says Dragonetti. "Touring can be a lot of fun with your partner, because you're sharing this crazy experience." Four years later, the two followed one another across the country to LA, eyes wide with visions of Hollywood success. Before that could happen, though, they broke up.
Heartbroken, Dragonetti and Hazard both tumbled headfirst into songwriting, each channeling their pain and loneliness into music. And then, after six months ("It felt like forever," says Dragonetti), they gravitated toward one another again, reconciled, and began to navigate the mass of emotional dirges they'd accumulated. At the time, they saw this collection of songs merely as time capsules — musical snapshots of a particular emotional state of mind — and also maybe a chance to feel closure with regard to this dark time-gap in their relationship. They resumed work on that material — this time together — and then Nettwerk, a Canadian record label, saw their musical relevance and released the album (Declare a New State!).

I just think it would be cool to just have like a hang out or whatever forum, just to talk about whatever. We don't want to curse up a storm or anything or talk about inappropriate things, some posters just want a place to talk about things other than football. Also, sometimes there's not a lot of news going on and the main forum is kind of dead, I don't know. I thought it was a good idea.
Mood: WOOF!
I also think it's a good idea, just another room for people to come together and discuss whatever (always respectfully of course). Just like it was pointed out, other sports message boards have them, so I don't see this as a out of the norm request. Thanx for listening.
I see at least a few threads a week where the link to football is tenuous at best and certainly have nothing to do with the Giants. Thses threads get left in TAGF because they are visited and posted to but they dont belong in TAGF any more than a thread about Bountygate. At the very least a "lounge" forum would be a good place for those types, and there would probably be more like threads if there was aplace for them.
And to clear up a question Ro: Thats what we are looking for, just another subforum for off-topic discussions, not any different standards of conduct or anything.
It also might stimulate traffic to the lesser used forums on th is message board. Give people mor reason to browse around when their off topic posts get moved to The Lounge.
Exactly texture.
What happens if I want to ask a question about financial stuff, or colleges, I know this is a Giants forum.... but come on now. Lots of people here have been here for awhile and enjoy this place and the people around here. We really can't discuss stuff like that?
Sorry to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if people left this board for another just because of that.
Forums are like communities.
This board needs to be less strict than T.C. and open a new avenue for people to just communicate. Just saying.
I guess we are asking for another "Parting of the Red Sea".......... Wow. I was in the military for 20 years and this is way more harsh than "complete silence" while on deployment.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:41 pm on February 20, 2014 by Allahpundit
President Obama is being pressed to act quickly on the crisis in Ukraine amid accusations that his administration is straddling the fence, as dozens more people were killed Thursday in clashes on the streets of Kiev.
Amid reports that possible sanctions may be on the fast track, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday that "a range of options is being actively considered at the White House."
But so far, the public face of the administration's policy toward Ukraine has consisted mostly of phone calls with foreign leaders and public statements…
In a troubling sign, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said Thursday that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is refusing to take the phone calls of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who repeatedly has tried to reach out to his counterpart since early last week.
Mr. Lavrov's remarks came the day after the United States announced that it would impose a travel ban on 20 civilian and political leaders in Ukraine who officials said were directly responsible for ordering a crackdown in Kiev that began on Tuesday after protesters broke through police lines.
The State Department did not identify those sanctioned, but Obama administration officials indicated that they had not targeted Ukraine's military command or apparently Mr. Yanukovych himself, leaving room for a compromise. Administration officials also have been vague about the possibility of additional sanctions.
Josh Earnest, the White House principal deputy press secretary, said Thursday that there were "a range of tools that could be used by the administration to hold accountable officials." Mr. Earnest also said "it is fair to say that a range of options is being actively considered."
The Obama administration is putting together a package of sanctions the president could put in place as soon as tonight, more likely tomorrow, ABC News has learned.
These sanctions would directly target individuals in the Ukrainian government believed to be responsible for the violence unfolding in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. The sanctions would include freezing assets and measures designed to cut these individuals off from the international banking system. The measures would be similar to those imposed over the past several years on individuals in the Iranian government.
Unlike the visa/travel restrictions imposed Wednesday on 20 unnamed members of the Ukrainian government, the administration will name names, White House officials said.
A spokesman for President Obama couldn't identify a U.S. national security interest in Ukraine, emphasizing an American desire to support human rights rather than a "old Cold War" rivalry with Russia.
"This is something that we're monitoring," White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said when asked if the Kiev protests impact U.S. national security. "This idea of 'spheres of influence' is a pretty outdated notion," he added when pressed about Russia's interest in Ukraine.
"Our principal concern here does not lie in whether or not [Russian President] Vladimir Putin stands to gain or lose from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine," he reiterated later in the press briefing…
Earnest rejected any Cold War-era categories. "It is not necessarily related to any effort by former Cold War adversaries to try to get a foothold in one country or another," he said. Instead, Earnest explained U.S. interest by saying that "at least some of the human rights, basic human rights that we hold so dear in this country are not being respected."
Arizona Sen. John McCain repeated calls for targeted sanctions on Ukraine and slammed the administration for its handling of the U.S.'s relationship with Russia.
"This is the most naive president in history," McCain said Thursday on Phoenix radio station KFYI of President Barack Obama, citing both his "flexibility" comments to then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev as well as the "reset button" on Russian relations…
"This thing could easily spiral out of control into a major international crisis. The first thing we need to do is impose sanctions on those people who are in leadership positions," McCain said…
"Watch Putin after the Olympics are over. He may try — and I emphasize may — try to have some partition of … Ukraine," McCain said. "He is committed to keeping Ukraine as part of Russia."
I have yet to interview Putin on the matter, but years of observing the man and the system he's built all point to one thing: he is watching Ukraine very closely and shaking his head. Instead of swiftly clearing the protests before they had a chance to gather momentum and not allowing them into the political system, Yanukovich dithered, thereby weakening himself…
Last time Kiev had protests, Putin put the finishing touch on killing democracy in Russia. This time, he is already busy tightening the screws. He is cracking down on DozhdTV, Russia's last independent television station. He has ordered a propagandist makeover of RIA Novosti, a state-owned but fairly modern news agency, installing a fire-breathing ideologue to run it (this guy, if you're curious). Today, Ekho Moskvy, Moscow's largest radio station that is often sympathetic to the opposition, got a new general manager, a woman with a decade-long resume of faithfully serving the state propaganda machine. State TV is broadcasting Goebbels-like "documentaries" about the opposition called "The Biochemistry of Betrayal." People who don't agree with Putin have found their sources of income choked off; many are fleeing the country.
Putin is tightening the screws, because this is what stability looks like and that, to Putin, by all accounts a man deeply traumatized by the chaotic, painful collapse of the Soviet Union, is worth any price. And the more unstable Ukraine gets, the tighter he'll turn them. Just you wait.
Once the country is at the Kremlin's mercy, Mr Putin can extort a heavy price. He is known to disparage the very notion of Ukraine's statehood, in public and in private. He could demand that it join a Russian-led security alliance. Russia's military integration with Belarus is already proving a headache for Nato, which is struggling to work out how it can defend Europe's north-eastern flank with its slender remaining resources…
The danger now is that, in despair, the West seeks to broker a solution to the Ukrainian problem through a deal with Russia. That will infuriate and disillusion the protesters, stoking extremism and violence. It is hard to imagine a more dangerous message to send to the Kremlin: create chaos in your former empire and the West will then let you dictate the terms of settlement…
It is to our lasting shame that we have been accomplices in this. We should unleash our money-laundering and anti-bribery laws. We should freeze assets and impose visa bans on those involved in looting and repression on our doorstep.
Russia is ruled by a little, strutting Mussolini — the Duce, like Putin, enjoyed being photographed with his chest bare and his biceps flexed. Putin is unreconciled to the "tragedy," as he calls it, of the Soviet Union's demise. It was within the Soviet apparatus of oppression that he honed the skills by which he governs — censorship, corruption, brutality, oppression, assassination…
Putin's contempt for Barack Obama is palpable. Russia's robust support of Bashar al-Assad is one reason Assad has, according to the Obama administration's director of intelligence, "strengthened" his position in the period since Obama said Assad should "step aside." Russia has been less than helpful regarding U.S. attempts to halt Iran's nuclear weapons program. Where, exactly, has Obama's much-advertised but never defined "reset" of relations with Russia been fruitful?…
The Soviet Union — "one of modern history's pivotal experiments," in the weasel words of NBC's Olympics coverage — existed for seven miserable decades. Ukraine's agony is a reverberation of the protracted process of cleaning up after the "experiment." So, this is perhaps the final episode of the Cold War. Does America's unusually loquacious 44th president remember how the words of the 40th — "Tear down this wall!" — helped to win it?

Report: Secretary Napolitano mulling a 2016 run?
posted at 6:21 pm on February 4, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
Hillary Clinton's answers on her future plans and potential presidential ambitions may be evolving, but even if she decides not to run, the Democrats may be looking for a lady to possibly lead the party, the better to keep the dynamism rolling and keep up this war-on-women meme of which they're so fond. Other than Clinton and Biden, of course, Democrats have been expressing worries that their post-Obama bench might be looking a little thin in that area; ergo, enter… er… Janet Napolitano?
The Washington Post reports that the current Secretary of Homeland Security is actively keeping a weather eye on her options for a 2016 bid, should the obvious contenders bow out of the race:
Napolitano is quietly making it known that she is considering the race, and there is reason to take her seriously. …While [governor] in Arizona, she was criticized for not being aggressive enough in dealing with the influx of illegal immigrants. But her more recent job gives her an opportunity to change that image. This week, for instance, finds her on a high-profile tour of the southwest border, where she will highlight the stepped-up resources that the Obama administration has been devoting to reducing the flow of illegal entrants to this country. …
Her current job compounds that difficulty. The fact is, most Americans don't hear all that much about the Homeland Security Department unless something has gone wrong.
True — her national profile is relatively pretty low, but she has already spent time as an arguably successful state executive. Could she really be looking to use the immigration debate as an opportunity to put herself at the "forefront of an issue–and a constituency" that the Democrats will surely be trying to use to their advantage come 2016? I haven't seen that much of her wading into the debate so far, but perhaps her decision to stay in Obama's cabinet for a second term means that she thinks it's her best possible platform from which to promote herself, or at least keep tabs on the situation?
I know, I know — it's all still so very far away, which is why, on the other side of the partisan coin, Gov. Bobby Jindal (considered an actively aspiring GOP candidate himself) has been making the vociferous point that the GOP needs to take this time to start making a better case for their ideas over their particular candidates:
"Anybody on the Republican side even thinking or talking about running for president in 2016, I've said, needs to get their head examined," Jindal told "Fox and Friends." "And the reason I say that is, we've lost two presidential elections in a row, we need to be winning the debate of ideas, then we'll win elections." …
"We're not winning the conversation, we're not presenting our ideas, we're not in that debate as well as we should be," Jindal said. …
"The country doesn't need four years of non-stop presidential — we just inaugurated a new term of this president's second term," Jindal said.

We bought a top bar hive that takes a 19 inch top bar, we dont have a table saw to make our own. Does anyone sell beveled top bars 19 inches long? I also want to use them in nucs to form comb and then put in the top bar hive, it would be great to have them interchangable.

This House
at Garrick Theatre
Following two sell-out seasons at the National Theatre and an upcoming run at Chichester Festival Theatre, James Graham's critically acclaimed political drama This House transfers to the Garrick Theatre.
1974. The UK faces economic crisis and a hung parliament. In a culture hostile to cooperation, it's a period when votes in the House of Commons are won or lost by one, when there are fist fights in the bars and when sick MPs are carried through the lobby to register their vote. It's a time when a staggering number of politicians die, and the building creaks under idiosyncrasies and arcane traditions.
Set in the engine rooms of Westminster, James Graham's This House strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes: the whips who roll up their sleeves and on occasion bend the rules to shepherd and coerce a diverse chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.

Do Something challenges young people around the world to recognize a need in their communities, believe they can make a change, and then take action. This year, 1.2 million youths are on track to answer the call. Do Something's mission: to help those kids do something, of course.
The organization provides resources and seed money to young people who are working to make the world a better place. Each year, the foundation presents five outstanding youth leaders with $10,000 for their service work. On Monday, during an event at the historic Apollo Theater, in New York City, the foundation named its top five changemakers of 2010.
Now Do Something needs your help to decide which of those five should win the coveted Do Something Award—and the $100,000 grant that comes with it.
The Power of Youth
The five nominees—all 25 years old or younger—come from different walks of life and from all around the country. They are champions for girls, for kids living with disabilities, for green projects in their communities, and for public health in other countries. Who are these remarkable youth leaders?
Micaela Connery, 23, is the founder of Unified Theater. It's a high school theater program that showcases the talents of young people who are living with physical and developmental disabilities. Her inspiration to start the program came from growing up with her cousin Kelsey, who is disabled.
Kibera is the biggest slum in Africa, and only 8% of girls there ever get an education. Jessica Posner, 23, is the cofounder of the Kibera School for Girls and of the Shining Hope Community Center. Since Posner started the school, she has given more than 5,700 residents a new chance to succeed.
When the DHL Express hub in Wilmington, Ohio, was shut down, some 8,000 people lost their jobs. Mark Rembert, 25, is helping to jump-start the city's economy with Energize Clinton County. It's a community center where locals can learn about the economic benefits of going green. Since launching in 2008, the community has received $1.4 million in grants to aid the town in its environmental efforts.
Jacqueline Murekatete was only 9 years old when she became an orphan in her native country, Rwanda, in Africa. Murekatete's parents and six siblings were killed because of their ethnicity. In 2007, she formed the Human Rights Corner to educate people about the brutal crimes being committed against ethnic groups worldwide.
Wilfredo Perez Jr., 23, has dedicated himself to public health care for youths in Haiti. Perez created a program in the hard-hit country that trains community health workers, all of whom are orphans, ranging in age from 16 to 21. So far, the program has provided treatment to over 1,200 patients.
They Did Something
Actor Andrew Shue and his childhood friend Michael Sanchez founded the Do Something organization in 1993. Their dream was to create an online community that would inspire, support and celebrate teenagers who wanted to impact the world in positive ways.
Seventeen years later, Shue and Sanchez's vision has empowered millions of young people to get involved in their communities. The organization works with more than 1,200 school clubs across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. The groups tackle all kinds of causes, including human-rights issues, poverty, bullying and education.
A Star-studded Night
Several familiar faces from Hollywood came out to offer their support on Monday. Actress Sara Canning, of the CW's Vampire Diaries, is involved in Do Something's environmental campaign. "We can take so many things for granted, and for our youth to realize that and to want preserve our planet is awesome," she told TFK on the red carpet.
Canning got some of her costars to film public-service announcements for the green project too, including actor Zach Roerig. "The younger generation is so in tune with what's happening with our Earth," Roerig says. "I think it's important for everyone to do something about the problems we face in society, rather than sit home and complain."
Elizabeth Gillies stars as mean girl Jade West on Nickelodeon's hit show Victorious. Gillies was also excited about coming out to honor her changemaking peers. The actress says that protecting animals is high on her list of favorite causes. And what cause does she think her character, Jade, would support? "For some reason, I really think Jade loves animals too, so I would have to say animal rights," she told TFK.
In addition to announcing the five Do Something Award nominees, Monday's celebration recognized director Brett Ratner, VH1 president Tom Calderone and Icema Gibbs of JetBlue Airways for their support of the organization. The evening kicked off with a performance by the Backstreet Boys, who sang their new single, "Bigger," and one of their older hits, "I Want It That Way."
Musician Peter Buffett, son of billionaire do-gooder Warren Buffet, took the stage next to perform a song he wrote for Earth Day called "Plastic Tomb." The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Buffett said, inspired the lyrics. And what is the most important thing his father has taught him about giving back? "The best lesson my father taught me about philanthropy is a lesson he taught me about life, which is listen to your own heart and your gut and follow that," Buffett said.
Let the Voting Begin!
Voting for the 2010 Do Something Awards has already begun. The public is encouraged to vote online for which of the five nominees they believe deserves the $100,000 grand prize. Last year's big winner was Maggie Doyne, a young woman who started an orphanage in Nepal at the age of 17. Click here to read Doyne's inspirational story.
You can also vote for your favorite famous do-gooders in new categories such as Do Something Movie Star, Music Artist and Athlete. To learn more about all of the nominees and to make your selections, visit DoSomething.VH1.com. The Do Something Awards will air live on VH1 on July 19.

Gadget Geek's Guide to October Gaming Apps
From race cars to sexy futuristic secret agents, here are our favorite October gaming apps for your devices.
From race cars to sexy futuristic secret agents, here are our favorite October gaming apps for your devices…
We have a soft spot for sexy secret agents, especially those who have tight Tron-like armor. Polara, set in a dystopian future, follows the (very loose) storyline of a secret agent on the run from the government, which is killing off the poor. This game is pretty difficult to get the hang of; it's an auto-running game where you're tasked with jumping lasers and scaling buildings with the tap of your finger. The gameplay is forgiving; there are check points regularly and usually before something major happens. The levels also give gamers some bang for their buck, some taking up to an hour to complete. All in all, it's a pretty interesting game to keep you on your toes; it never lets you fall into a pattern and needs a player who is ready to calculate all of the obstacles Polara is faced with.
He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe
One of the greatest things about growing up is that all of our beloved classics are getting a reboot. He-Man is the latest, getting his own iOS game. Follow the 27 levels which are spread across seven areas of He-Man's homeland, Eternia, to battle his greatest adversaries like Beast Man and Skeletor. We love the swordplay, but we've got to ask, where's She-Ra?
Windows Phone 8
October came and went without the release of the much-anticipated game Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour to the online stores, but Gameloft had some news to share that made us grin from ear to ear: starting this holiday season, Gameloft will be releasing 12 of their biggest games on Windows Phone 8. "Optimized to take advantage of the Xbox ecosystem and services, Gameloft promises to bring a diversified games portfolio of immersive and social experiences for fans of every game genre. Users will have the possibility to connect with their friends and to follow their scores via Xbox Leaderboards and Xbox Achievements."
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Gamer Next Door Jo Garcia touched on it in her latest review; Need for Speed on your iOS is a must-have for any arcade racing game enthusiast. The graphics are killer, the pursuits are unreal and all of the work you do in the game on your phone or iPad can be transferred onto whatever other platform you've been using to play the game by utilizing the new CloudCompete social system. We love that you're able to jump into any car you want right from the get-go and don't have to save all of your points for a nicer car. If you see it, it's yours. We like that mentality.
