Students Enjoy Summer Study in France
Jun 17 to Jul 16, 2008
Students Enjoy Summer Study in France
A group of Rockhurst students are traveling to France June 17-July 16 to study the language and take in some of the culture. They will spend some of their time in Paris as well as Montpellier, a university town in the south of France. The itinerary includes the Festival of Music and the Bastille Day celebrations. The group is accompanied by M. Kathleen Madigan, Ph.D., professor of classical and modern languages.
More images will be added as the group continues its adventures through France. Check back again soon to view more photos.

Ali Burr in the Luxembourg Garden; the French Senate is housed in the Palace there.
Enjoying the panoramic view of Paris before visiting the Basilica of the Sacred Heart (Sacré Coeur) in Montmartre.
Luciano Garofalo, who is planning to enter the Society of Jesus after graduation, at the Chapel in Montmartre, Paris, where the Jesuits took their first vows.
At the Musée d'Orsée we enjoyed many of our favorite impressionist paintings, including Degas' dansers.
We visited the French Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before climbing the Arc de Triomphe for a view of the Champs Elysées and the city of Paris.
At the Place du Tertre in Montmartre, artists draw portraits, paint and sell their work.
Taking a break and looking intellectual at the Deux Magots Café next to the Café de Flore, famous stomping grounds of existentialist philosophers Sarte, Camus and De Beauvoir.
A view of Les Invalides (where Napoleon is buried) from the gardens in front of the Rodin (sculpture) Museum.
One of the world's most famous sculptures, Rodin's "Thinker".
We attended Mass at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.
After the major sites of Paris, a picnic at the Vincennes Castle with live music for the Festival de la Musique on June 21st was just the thing on a lovely evening.
We went to the Gare de Lyon train station to take the TGV (train à grande vitesse, fast train) from Paris to Montpellier, a university town in the south where we will be taking French classes.
After arriving in Montpellier, we met our families at the train station.
Eagerly, we checked out the location of the Institute where we are studying (green doors) the day before classes started on the lovely Rue (street) St. Guilhem.
After our first day of classes and a lecture on the French press given by the Director of the Institute, we went on a guided walking tour of the city of Montpellier.
The Arc de Triomphe de Montpellier at the original city entrance, not an imitation of the one in Paris because built before then!
We attended the end of the year show at St. Odile kindergarten and primary school. It is a Sacred Heart School and we were invited because one of our students went to a Sacred Heart High School (Laura Koch, in St. Charles). Here a little French sailor prepares for his performance on the stage!
Here we are with classmates from the institute where we are studying in front of the Montpellier Opera House, a popular meeting point.
The impressive aqueduct in Montpellier, the city where we are studying.
The Esplanade Park in Montpellier is always lively with families taking time out at the park for children, students meeting in groups for a picnic or singing, and booths with crafts for sale and live music on Friday evenings at the Estivales (summer festival). One Friday afternoon a group from Burkina Faso danced there spontaneously as they worked their way through town as part of the Montpellier Dance festival.
Here is another shot of the school show at St. Odile's that we attended, to give you an idea of how they put it together outdoors.
Here is a glimpse of the beauty of the Botanical Garden (Jardin des Plantes), started for the students of the reputable Medical School of Montpellier, founded during the Middle Ages, where the author Rabelais (creator of Gargantua and Pantagruel) studied.
The water lilies of the botanical gardens in Montpellier are worthy of a Monet painting.
Montpellier offered a free week of music nightly our first week here in June at the Place St. Anne, including la chanson française, concerts by students of the Conservatory of Music, the building of which is just behind musicians here, and on the last night, good ole' New Orleans jazz.
In the city of Nîmes, about a half an hour away from Montpellier, we visited the Roman amphitheatre (les arènes), pictured the gladiators there, and watched as they worked on a stage for a contemporary concert.
You can't be in France and not stop for crêpes, both for lunch and dessert.
During our excursion to Avignon, about an hour from Montpellier and where the summer theatre festival is held, we explored the Palais des Papes, where nine Popes resided.
Roman ruins, especially when high up, are as good a place as any for a French cat siesta. Laura managed to make friends while simultaneously listening to the audioguide of the amphitheatre.
The Avignon Bridge made famous in the song: "Sur le Pont d'Avignon, on y danse, on y danse...tous en rond."
Here is the Church at Saintes Maries de la Mer in the Camargue region, where it is believed that Marie (Mary in English) Salomé, the mother of the apostles James and John and Marie Jacobé (aunt of Jesus, sister of his mother Mary) spent the end of their lives with their servant Sarah close to the oratory. The black Sarah is venerated by the gypsies.
The beautiful cross of Saintes Maries de la Mer represents faith, hope and charity and the connection between earth, sea and heaven. De la mer means "of the sea", which is seen in the anchor.
One can even see the Saintes Maries de la Mer Cross on bumper stickers, along with the white horses running free for which the Camargue region (to the east of the Languedoc Roussillon region where we are staying) is famous.
The statue in the Church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer known to the gypsies as Saint Sarah.
The view from the top of the Church at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
The statue of a white horse, for which the Camargue region is famous, stands in the middle of the town of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
We have been spoiled by access to many beautiful Mediterranean beaches and rivers; here is the ocean front at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Here is a typical white house at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
Some of the real white horses of the Camargue, here tamed for riding.
Back in Montpellier, the chess championship in the Esplanades Park is on! Tables for checkers are also set up here.
What is believed to be a relic of the Holy Cross in the Church of St. Guilhem le Désert, a stop on the pilgrimage trail of St. Jacques de Compostelle (Santiago in Spanish).
Flowers lining walls of the lovely town St. Guilhem le Désert.
To the right through the arches of the Abbey Cloisters you can see the Lavender of southern France.
We spent all day on Saturday, July 5th on an excursion to St. Guilhem le Désert, where we visited the Abbaye de Gellone, a monastery where St. Guilhem (in Occitain, William in French) stayed from the years 806-812. It is believed that his cousin, Charlemagne, gave him part of the Holy Cross, now a relic in the Church. In the nineteenth century, many sculptures were acquired by the American G.G. Barnard, which are now on display at the Cloisters Museum in New York.
We sampled some regional products, including the Tapenade of Provence made up of crushed olives, anchovies and capers.
The Pilgrim's Gate entering St. Guilhem le Désert on the Chemin de St. Jacques, one of the four principal pilgrimage paths.
The gorgeous Garrigue (Mediterranean brush vegetation, rock, etc.) landscape, made famous in the films Jean de Fleurette and Manon des Sources.
If you look up carefully you will see a rock castle. Legend has it that it was occupied by a giant who held the town captive, but who was later overthrown by Saint Guilhem.
A painting welcoming visitors to Saint Guilhem le Désert.
One of the narrow streets of St. Guilhem le Désert.
The area is covered with vineyards.
You guessed it, with all the vineyards around, we had to visit a French wine cave, in this case the famous St. Saturnin one where wines are produced, aged, bottled and distributed.
A representative of St. Saturnin wines talks about the particular make-up and qualities of four different wines.
We sacrificed ourselves and finally agreed to sample just a bit of each.
Luc ("Looch") showed a fellow student who had just arrived the night before around town, including the tram ticket office and Monoprix, a good place to buy groceries and a bad place to be if you don't want to be tempted by those famous French pastries.
Our last excursion in the south of France took us to Aigues Mortes, a fortified port town reinforced by King Louis IX which has been known for its role in salt (used to preserve food before refrigerators) mining since the Middle Ages.
In Aigues Mortes we climbed the tower, la Tour Constance, that served as a prison for the Huguenots (Protestants) during the sad time of the Wars of Religion. The top of the tower offered a happier and panoramic view of the community. Following, you'll see a series of views from the top so you can get some of that complete view of the area.
In this direction to the right you can see the salt that has been mined. La crème de la crème du sel, the finest salt, is from the Camargue and is a popular regional product.
In this direction you can see the canal.
And in this direction you can see us with our guide Matthieu!
In Aigues Mortes we also visited a grand Maison de biscuits et de bonbons, a cookie and candy store, where they gave us a souvenir box which will last, to console us about the cookies and candy that did not.
A guide in the candy and cookie store told us about the ingredients used in those wonderful products, including many from the south, such as almond, honey, figs, fruits, aromas, etc. Chocolate olives were surprisingly good!
Our last day of class.
After Paris and New York, the major exhibit of the French realist painter Courbet was in Montpellier while we were there and we had a guided tour of it in French.
We saw the Courbet exhibit at the Fabre Museum in Montpellier, one of the south of France's best, with a collection of twenty pieces of the black canvases of Pierre Soulages, a living artist, in addition to a major permanent collection of art throughout the ages housed in a former 17th century Jesuit college, 18th century Town Hall and 19th century extensions.
Our last night in Montpellier, the Institute organized a gathering at the Maison Internationale, followed by a dinner and dance at a local club. The following morning, we had some time for last glimpses of Montpellier before boarding a train for Paris. Here are the Opera House and Plaza decked out with flags in preparation for the Bastille Day celebrations.
The Saturday morning market in Montpellier offers fresh produce, clothing, etc.
We'll miss walking down this street, la rue St.-Guilhem, to the Institute where we had classes. But since our trip to the village of St. Guilhem the name means a lot more.
The bakery across the street from our school was a familiar sight.
We had already seen this train schedule board when leaving Paris for Montpellier, so knew what to look for, but that did not take any of the suspense out of waiting to see which platform we'd have to get to for the train back up to Paris; the platform is announced in the column all the way to the right, and getting there and finding our voiture (wagon) is an adventure.
The sky and landscape put on a good show as we whizzed by in the fast train, leaving the vibrant south of France.
Saturday night in Paris we went to the Latin Quarter to see Ionesco's play "The Lesson" which has been playing at the Huchette Theatre for 51 years.
After the theatre, we walked around the Latin Quarter with a French friend, Anne Boutten, and stopped at the Shakespeare & Co Bookshop opposite Notre Dame Cathedral, associated with the writers who gathered at the original one in the twenties; other expats later helped to form the movement that led to post WWI American literature. Gertrude Stein and Hemingway met through the store, and the current owner still helps writers and organizes Sunday readings.
Then to top off our Saturday in the Latin Quarter we went to the Caveau de la Huchette, a jazz place that Professor Madigan went to as an undergrad. The evening featured the Richard Raux Jazz Group and some seasoned dancers.
We enjoyed the music and Luc, who plays the saxophone, checked out their technique.
On Sunday we had some time to relax at museums in Paris before getting ready for the Bastille Day parties. Visits chosen included the Catacombs, the Museum of Decorative Arts and the Orangerie Museum, closed in 2000 and reopened in 2006 and featuring the Water Lilies (Nymphéas) by Monet, a film about his struggle with these paintings and other artists such as Renoir, Picasso and Matisse.
The 14th of July is the National Holiday in France, the day of the taking of the Bastille Prison, but the French celebrations begin on the evening before as announced by this banner. Sunday evening we went to the most popular one in Paris put on by the firemen (les sapeurs pompiers) of the 4th district, the Marais district where Victor Hugo lived.
We left at 8pm for the party starting at 9pm, because we knew there would be a line to get in. A band kept us entertained while waiting. When we left, there was still a long line of people winding around the corner and down the street hoping to get in.
The decorations at the party were creative, including the fire truck on the roof.
The ambiance at the beginning was relaxed, with more and more coming in later but in some areas enough space to dance to a variety of music from a waltz to salsa. This party was on the national news the next morning.
The morning of July 14th was parade time! We passed the Arc de Triomphe and stopped at a pastry shop before finding the right place to stand on the Champs-Élysées
Even those less interested in the tanks had to admit it was neat seeing President Sarkozy go by to take his place beforehand to view the parade, and an air show featured military jets streaming the blue, white and red of the French flag. But the sapeurs pompiers, the firemen who put on the parties, stole the show and got the most applause.
The international crowd taking pictures provided as much entertainment as those in the parade.
The Invalides, the hotel built by Louis XIV to house disabled veterans and now the French Army Museum was free on Bastille Day.
Here are some of the miniatures at the Army Museum, the most notable the second from the left on bottom row in Napoleon's clothing; the actual military outfit is also on display.
Napoleon's tomb rests below the Dome and the Saint-Louis Church.
On the evening of Bastille Day, we headed to the Eiffel Tower for a picnic.
The metro was a bit crowded on the way back from our field trip to the concert and fireworks; this was the line to get on, and we had an adventure finding an open station.
We had another free day in Paris after the festivities to visit one last museum (how to choose?) or shop for souvenirs and gifts. Here is a window near the auditorium where they once had fashion shows at the Printemps Department Store, which was established in 1865.
The Printemps Department store is just behind the famous Garnier Opera.
Bright skies greeted those who made the trek to Versailles.
And the geometrical, trim French gardens of Versailles with forest, canal and lots of play areas were as inviting as ever.
Le Petit Trianon and the Domain of Marie Antoinette (featured in the film Marie Antoinette), though still undergoing renovation, recently was reopened to the public.
Our last evening in Paris we gathered for dinner at a restaurant specializing in French cuisine. Among our selections: oysters, mussels, French onion soup, boeuf bourgignon. Sigh...
For our finale, we took a Paris boat cruise and saw some of the monuments by night that we had explored before such as the Louvre and Orsay museums, but also some additional ones like the Institut de France where the French Academy is housed and the Institut Arabe.
In honor of the start of France's six-month presidency of the European Union, the Eiffel Tower was lit up in blue with the yellow stars of the EU flag. We bid our farewell to France here, as it was the end of our program. It's hard not to look back, so if you want to see more, let us know and we'll post a few more photos as our encore last glimpses of our trip.
One of the first places we visited was the Town Hall in the Marais District.

NYPD officer Gilberto Valle rose to infamy after being convicted for conspiring to kidnap, rape, kill and eat several women. Valle, "The Cannibal Cop" was now looking at a life sentence for his Internet searches and online activities. His sexual fantasies cost him his family, his job, and his freedom–but it also prompted a fundamental question: can you be guilty of a crime you only thought of committing? Erin Lee Carr takes a gritty look into the darkest corners of the human psyche. With exclusive access to Valle and his family, Carr challenges our beliefs about the criminal justice system especially as it applies to the ever-evolving digital platform. When it comes to the Internet, how do you draw the line between fantasy and reality? At what point are the desires of a potentially dangerous man criminal? And how do you know when that line has been crossed?...

Chrissy Banks Poetry
Please click on the menu bar at the top left corner to find out about me and my work, read some of my poems or contact me.
And it was at that age . . . Poetry arrived
in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when . . . . . . . .
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
Pablo Neruda (from 'Poetry')
in search of me. I don't know, I don't know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when . . . . . . . .
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
Pablo Neruda (from 'Poetry')
Why Poetry?
Because there are questions and I want answers
and I want them to be mine
Because I want to travel to the centre of myself
to be the driver and the passenger sitting by the window watching
to make a map with words
Because there is something moving in a corner of my being
Because I want to catch it, hold it still and see what kind of animal it is
Because I want to speak to you
Because I want to speak to you without you interrupting
Because this is the only way or at least the best
to tell you this specific, this important thing
Because I want to look and see
dances of light, big-bellied cloud, skein of cloud
skies of dove grey, cyan, violet, the way
a face will stretch or crumple in surprise or disappointment
Because I want to look and then remember what I've seen
Because I want to step into the skin of this man, that child
unlike myself and come to know the ways that we are one
Because words make parcels of the chaos
Because love is faithful and enduring in black and white
Because I need the songs of rain and rusting leaves to match my grief
Because I want a torch for flashing out the funny edge of sadness
a mirror to reflect the world's unseen
Because I want to say what can't be spoken
Because the pen is quieter than the gun
can kiss as well as blast wide open
Because there's too much everything
Because I don't know who I am without these words
Because I have to know
Because I have to

As the boy band Five topped the chart, with "Keep On Movin'," the record of 30 number ones in 12 months was beaten. And with eight more charts to come this year the record is likely to be smashed.
Music industry experts said a fickle chart created by clubland culture and slick marketing had prompted this faster turnover. This year not one single has remained in the Number One slot for longer than three weeks, in comparison with the days when artists could spend months there.
The Radio 1 DJ Emma B said: "We now have far more throw-away singles from bands you have never heard of and never will again. There is very little follow-up interest. It is an incredible phenomenon."
With a group requiring fewer than 40,000 sales to reach the Top Ten, many plummet out of the charts within a short while, never to be heard of again. These days an artist can reach the top spot with fewer than 100,000 sales on certain weeks.
Much of the marketing is focused on getting fans to buy a record within days of release as sales tend to drop after the first few days. Acts rarely go to Number One if they have not done so within a week.
Gennaro Castaldo, a chart expert at HMV, said: "Marketing is getting slicker and everyone is trying desperately to use sales in the first week to catapult singles to Number One."

Reviewed by June J. McInerney
A sensitive, talented writer can incorporate sordid and distasteful violence—especially toward woman—into a novel's plot-line so that the reader is not totally offended or turned away. Dalene Flannigan, author of The Truth About Us (November 2011), is such a writer. This short, fast-paced, intriguing novel is not, however, about violence, per se, but how it affects the lives of three college friends. Grace, Jude, and Erica—one a victim of date-rape—find themselves embroiled in the consequences of keeping a "shameful" secret from their past which mold their present and unalterably change their future.
The Truth About Us starts with tall, gangling Grace who senses she does not fit in anywhere, except when filming feminist documentaries. In college, she thought she would fit into Jason's arms, dating him until—wait! This secret is best revealed in the alternating chapters of each woman telling her own side of their tale. Assembled together, the chapters build a climatic story not only about emotional and physical violence, but about the sin of re-percussive retribution without redemption; poignantly, not one of our heroines truly finds salvation. Save Grace, who, with Erica, is threatened betrayal by born-again Jude, and searches for peace and salvation in a griping and unexpected denouement.
This is a poignantly enlightening book about secrets hiding in our past, nagging our present, destroying our future. As Flannigan writes toward the end of the novel (page 199): "A secret is never locked away tight, it pushes outward…to be avoided, the creaky stair when you're trying to be quiet…avoidance is hard work and…takes its toll…leaves its mark." What do you do when a flawed, disillusioned friend threatens to expose it?
Punching home her point, Flannigan weaves simple metaphors into fluidly crisp writing. Grace, ungraceful physically, is full of grace. The present and future of Jude, both betrayer and betrayed, closely parallels that of Judas Iscariot. A pastor becomes a Pharisee; a sister is the only one who sees the unavoidable truth and offers forgiveness; and Jason is both the symbol and catalyst for sin. As the title suggests is the harbinger of our own psychological truths, even if it is literary fiction.
My own truth? At first, I wasn't going to read and review this novel, best read by mature teenagers and adults, because of its upsetting subject matter and a few adamant pan reviews on various websites. In all honesty, the opening pages turned me off. But Flannigan's opening passages and her striking style kept nudging at me to give it a second chance—to find its truth for myself.
It only took me a rainy afternoon to read and enjoy it. And I am glad I did.

Recently stayed here as part of my first trip to Sonoma with 2 other couples. We had 6 adults and 1 Child and were more than comfortable in the space of the home. Each couple had their own private space and bathroom. Owner met us at the door on the day of arrival and showed us everything we needed to know and where everything was located. There was plenty of sheets, towels, and pillows in the rooms as well as all the basics provided (Kitchen items, bathroom items) plus some! Outdoor space was perfect for relaxing outside among the artwork, swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. The location was secluded enough where you didn't hear any of the neighbors, but close enough to the main road to get anywhere you needed to go. There was plenty of space at the end of the road to park the two rental cars we had as well as had a chef come in with 2 cars without blocking neighbors driveways. There were lots of notes around the house to remind you of the do's and don'ts (make sure you use coasters!) - however expected in order to keep their home nice and taken care of.
I did recommend to owner to make sure in all areas of the VRBO posting to note the correct price per night (which is $875) but payment was easy and I received my security check back in a timely manner. We would most definitely stay here again when we return to Sonoma. Thanks Diane and V.Roy for sharing your home!
Lovely weekend! The main house feels cozy and homey, but with plenty of space to entertain and relax with a large group. Great kitchen stocked with lots of basics.
The property is close to highway but far enough to feel removed. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Valley of the Moon and surrounding areas.
This home away from home was a perfect place to spend 5 days of winter break with our two teens! The house was lovely, inside and out, peaceful and very comfortable for all. It is perfectly located, close to Sonoma with easy access to wineries and excellent restaurants and also central for day trips in Sonoma, Napa and Mill Valley. Lots for everyone to do! We also thank Ellen for her gracious hospitality. We'd love to return and stay again. We highly recommend this house for trips with family or friends!!
My friends and I stayed in Ellen's home for 4 days in October and it was perfect! There were 8 of us and there was a bed for everyone and we were all very comfortable. We spent the weekend wine tasting in Sonoma and Napa Valley, the location of this house was perfect. Ellen made the whole process easy! She has a beautiful home and I would definitely stay here again.
We spent 5 days at the house and enjoyed every minute of the time. It is perfectly located to jump off to all parts of Sonoma and Napa. The house offers plenty of room to spread out and relax after a long day of winery visits. The grounds are spectacular with lush landscaping, pool and hot tub. The art that is scattered throughout the yard adds a very interesting and unique addition to the experience. This would be perfect for family reunions or getting a group of friends together.
I rented this property for a girls weekend getaway. There were 8 girls total. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and accommodated our large group perfectly. Everyone had a comfortable room to sleep in with plenty of access to bathrooms. The common area rooms were also very comfortable for a large group. The kitchen was roomy and fully stocked. The landscaping was beautiful and we found numerous outdoor areas on the property to sit outside and relax. Lastly, the location is quiet and tucked away on a nice street, but it is very close to the great wineries that Sonoma has to offer. The owners were extremely nice and pleasant to work with and I will certainly use this property in my future visits to the area.

Chapter One: The Musings of Tonks
Nymphadora Tonks waited impatiently for the train to arrive at King's Cross. The train was bearing the young witch she was supposed to escort to number 12 Grimmauld Place. The train was also one hour late.
Back to the girl. Supposedly her father had to go off the somewhere for the rest of the summer, so the poor kid was stuck at that horrible number 12. Grimmauld Place had been simply dreadful since its previous owner, Sirius Black, died last June. Sirius' death had affected everyone who knew him. Even Severus Snape. Because he was deprived of one of his greatest enemies, Snape was sulking more than usual.
And Harry. Poor, poor Harry! Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, was Sirius' godson and had blamed himself for Sirius' death. Tonks had told him a thousand times that he wasn't responsible for the death of his godfather. It was Lord Voldemort's. And that evil little viper, Bellatrix Lestrange. But no! Harry, being as hopelessly stubborn as Sirius, wouldn't believe her. So now Harry was terribly depressed and would hardly eat, let alone speak. Poor kid. Tonks hoped that this girl she was supposed to pick up (if the train would over get here) would help clear things up and shed a little sunshine on Harry Potter's life. Not to mention everyone else's. What was her name again? Elisabeth Something-or-Another? Whatever.
A loud screeching sound woke Tonks from her thoughts. Finally! The train's here! She scanned the crowd flowing from the open doors of the train for a tallish female sixteen-year-old with a trunk and an owl. It couldn't be that hard. After all, this was a Muggle train, and not a lot of Muggles keep owls for pets. There! The lost-looking girl over by the barrier.
"Wotcher!" Tonks called as she strode over to the girl. "Are you waiting for someone?"
The girl jumped and turned around. She had a dark tan, long, light brown hair that fell to her waist, and an honest face. But Tonks was immediately struck dumb by her eyes. They were an intense and beautiful silver and looked as if they were peering into the very soul. Those eyes seemed to make it impossible for anyone to not trust her.
"Yes," answered the girl. "I'm waiting for someone by the name of . . . oh! What was that name? Oh, yeah! By the name of Tonks."
"That's me!" Tonks smiled broadly.
"I'm Elisabeth Wolfe," said the girl cheerfully. "But you can call me Ellie."
"Nymphadora Tonks at your service," replied Tonks with a mock bow. Ellie giggled.
"Nymphadora," Ellie said thoughtfully. Tonks could see that she was laughing silently. "Uh . . . interesting name."
"I know," said Tonks, wrinkling her nose. "Don't you hate it? I do. That's why everyone calls me by my surname – Tonks. And you'd better too. Unless you want your head bitten off, that is." Ellie looked startled but saw that Tonks was smiling and her eyes were twinkling. Ellie smiled too. She was beginning to like this strange, pink-haired witch.
Tonks glanced at her watch.
"Merlin's beard!" she exclaimed. "We were supposed to be at the Grangers' a half hour ago! OK, Ellie, we just need to stop at the Grangers' cottage in Kent and pick up a girl named Hermione. Got you're stuff? Good. C'mon!"
((A/N: Hey People! Sorry if this is too short, or horribly written. I'm so tired! It's 12:33 am! Just wanted to finish this chapter up before I went to bed. If I don't get 10 reviews, I won't write the next chapter! So, please, REVIEW!!!!!!!))

Worthless little girl,
Slumped against the wall,
Knees drawn in,
Trembling hands guarding her face,
Waiting for the strike,
The beating she knows she deserves.
Cruel insults thrown at her mercilessly,
She struggles to ignore.
She wants nothing more than to push him away;
To tell herself what he says is not true.
But he does not lie.
Every jab he shouts at her is truth.
She is disgusting, a freak.
A monster that must be punished.
And so she sits there, waiting,
The abuse may never end,
But she deserves every moment of it.

Whitewash Review in the Washington Times
By NB Staff | December 20, 2007 | 1:58 PM EST
To be found here.
Excerpt therefrom:
... "Our whole mission ... is to say: These people are not objective. They're not disinterested, the press and people need to see them for what they are," (Tim) Graham said in a recent telephone interview.
Demystifying the relationship between the press and the Clinton camp is essential for Americans to decide this year's race, (L. Brent) Bozell said.
"Past is prologue," he said. "The kind of behavior that was going on 15 years ago is going on today."

It's a pretty long drive from home to Youngstown; took us about 8 hours, including stops. Arrived in plenty of time to rest up a bit, though, before heading out to the ballgame. This week's fare: A-Ball. The game was between the Mahoning Valley Scrappers (Class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians) and the Brooklyn Cyclones (or BKLYN, as they spell it on their jerseys--Class A affiliate of the New York Mets). You may recall that ...


text: NEW YORK, Dec. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The administration of therapeutic drugs via injection is an indispensable delivery method for numerous drugs critical to patient health and well-being. Now this segment is evolving in response to changing patient populations, new classes of powerful therapeutic drugs and healthcare administration initiatives. Population demographics and efforts by managed care providers to control healthcare costs are driving the growth in drug self-administration, particularly for chronic conditions, introducing a new class of naïve users to parenteral drug delivery. For Fill-and-Finish contractors, market proximity is an important competitive factor. As the use of prefilled syringes continues to grow, the issue of prefilled syringe safety has received increased attention, with both integrated prefillable safety syringes and safety solutions designed to accommodate existing prefillable syringes advancing commercially. This report analyzes eleven important prefilled syringe therapeutic segments and examines key regulatory, economic and competitive factors that represent potential barriers to commercial success. What You Will Learn- What drugs are supplied in prefilled syringes, what are the drug + device specifics, and who markets them?- Who are the branded prefilled syringe suppliers, their manufacturing infrastructure and locations, their capabilities?- What are the major factors driving prefilled syringe demand?- What is the importance of industry collaborations on commercial success and what are the specifics of these partnerships and alliances- What are the essential design factors, material selection issues, technologies and market development issues for prefilled injectable drug products?- What are prefilled device categories that compete with prefilled syringes and what is their market share?- What are the significant economic, technology, and regulatory factors affecting the market for prefilled syringes? Re-engineering Patient TherapeuticsSyringes that can be prefilled on standard fill-and-finish lines have had a dramatic effect on the way injectable drugs are developed, prescribed and administered. This segment is evolving in response to changing patient populations, new classes of powerful therapeutic drugs and healthcare administration initiatives. Population demographics and efforts by managed care providers to control healthcare costs are driving the growth in drug self-administration, particularly for chronic conditions, introducing a new class of naïve users to parenteral drug delivery. Market-driven Product StrategiesA longer life span is expected to translate to a growing number of patients diagnosed with chronic conditions. To counteract the financial and medical infrastructure implications of this trend, pressure from the public sector and managed care organizations will place a premium on therapeutic self-administration, an expectation that is creating an increased interest in routes of administration that are patient-friendly and cost-effective. Pharma company decision makers have come to the realization that for many products, success no longer only depends on the medication itself but also on achieving a consumercompatible form of packaging and application.

The Pueblos were located in the area where New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, and Colorado borders meet today. The Pueblos history can be recorded from 100 AD to 1600 AD. The Pueblo time period that was in their heyday was the "Basketmaker III" period. The pueblo people improved life signifacantly by domesticating animals and beginning to cultivate the bean crop. With the major advances in agricultural techniques the Pueblos also developed irrigation systems to support the new farms and the rising population. Belief systems For the Pueblo people Kachina was the most practiced religion. Kachina was a spirit being in their tribe Men would dress as Kachinas fro religious ceremonies Kachina dolls were made as wooden dolls to educate the Pueblo youth on how the world came to be Kachinas can represent anything in nature or the universe ; insects, sun, water, moon, or fire Political structure ● All Pueblo tribes have the clan system. Some have as many as twenty or more clans ● Each pueblo is an independent community ● Each has its own chief. Pre-European Before colonization there were between 70 and 100 pueblos. When the europeans arrived that number reduced to 19 European Interaction The first European interaction the natives had was with the Spanish. Spain took control of their land, destroyed their places of worship and imprisoned,or tortured those who resisted Spanish rule. In 1680 Pope (a religious leader) got tribes to combine forces and take back their land from the Spaniards. It took the Spaniards 14 years, and 4 military assaults to regain control. Maps For thousands of years, Native Americans took to the trails in the name of the harvest, the hunt, commerce, plunder, warfare, religious fervor and celebration Navajo Code Talkers Magnas Coloradas Cochise Pope Geronimo Goyaale Important figures Geronimo was an Apache native American, and was born in June 1829. He lead the Apache people against the US Army to defend and keep the Apache land free of American buildings and to keep the land safe and healthy. He was captured in 1886 and turned into a celebrity as people wanted to see him, even though he was a prisoner of war. He died in 1909, Pope was a religious leader of the Tewa native Americans, when the Spanish started conquering what is the current American Southwest. In response, he lead the most successful revolt lead by Native Americans in history, which took 14 years to suppress. He and his 17,000 followers of different tribes destroyed Catholic churches, tortured and mutilated priests, and destroyed all relics of Christianity. Cochise was an Apache leader who fought alongside Mangas Coloradas in the fight against the United States army. The Apache were winning until the US started using new & advanced forms of weaponry such as artillery fire. They then lost to the United States Army and were forced to evacuate the area. Magnas Coloradas was an Apache leader who helped Cochise to fight the United States Army; sadly, the Apache lost the battle and the Apache lost their land. The Navajo Code Talkers created codes in WWII that helped the US Army defeat communist Japan. Without these uncrackable codes, Japan would've defeated the USA.

Eric Steinbach Profile
The Cleveland Browns have cut veteran offensive guard Eric Steinbach today, the team announced.
Steinbach missed all of last season after undergoing back surgery.
Steinbach had started 62 games at left guard over the past five seasons after being acquired as an unrestricted free agent in 2007.
"These types of decisions are the difficult part of this job, especially when it involves a player such as Eric Steinbach," Browns general manager Tom Heckert said. "Eric exhibited tremendous leadership and passion for the game during his time here. We want to thank him for his contributions."

Pamukkale is an amazing display of natural hot water pools in Denizli Province, south-western Turkey. What you see in the photos below are known as travertines or the terraces that form due to the carbonate minerals that gather up as the flowing water circles.
Pamukkale is actually Turkish for "cotton castle", a name that we think manages to characterize the true inner "fluffiness" of this place.
Pamukkale Hot Springs can be visited all year long, but it is absolutely spectacular in the winter time, when natural pools of hot water form and tourists can take long, soothing baths.
Getting there is possible by taking a plane or a bus to the city of Denizli – Cardak Airport. From here on a bus to Pamukkale is available (20 km). Remember to take a bag for your shoes and bring along some slippers for visiting the travertines. And your bathing suit.
Accommodation will not be an issue, as you will find that the area is highly developed in matters of tourism. In fact it is too developed, although in the winter time you might just get a little privacy.
There is a lot more information in the uploaded video about how these incredible formations were born. Here is a site for getting you started in planning your trip and finding a hotel in Pamukkale.
And most people prefer going just to the sea side, stay on the beach all day long, doing nothing…
I'm headed here in June and I was wondering if you knew about camping in the area? Or even in Turkey in general, could I do some sneaky urban camping without too heavy of repercussions? Great post, thanks for all the gorgeous photos!
This place is amazing. I have been there three times and it still amazes me. There's nothing like this in other countries, so Pamukkale is quite unique. There is also an ancient city called Hierapolis at the top of Pamukkale, which is also stunning. And 15 minutes from Pamukkale there's a natural thermal hot spring in Karahayit, which is also nice to see. So If you guys have the opportunity, you should really visit Denizli (town) in Turkey. You will be stunned by the natural beauty of this city.
A beautiful video of Pamukkale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR6guX5yzHQ&feature=share&list=PLc07RnA7sWckig6moMN0CqXH_0VpZCriP
[…] Pumakkale Hot Springs serves as one of the oldest spas in the world. People in the community believe that the hot spring has the ability to heal whoever bathes in it. The heat generated from the hot spring comes from natural heat generated from the earth, inducing a relaxing and invigorating sensation. People can experience a deep connection with nature and one's self through the hot springs' good ambiance and uniquely satisfying setting. […]

Electronic Confirmations
Recently several major financial institutions have announced that going forward they will only respond to electronic confirmations from auditors.December 4, 2008
Recently several major financial institutions have announced that going forward they will only respond to electronic confirmations from auditors. The AICPA's Auditing Standards Board has attempted to address this decision by issuing Interpretation 1 of AU 330, Use of Electronic Confirmations. The Interpretation states that electronic confirmations can be considered reliable audit evidence if they are properly controlled.
What are the risks?
The risks for electronic confirmations include interception, alteration and fraud. SAS 106, Audit Evidence, states that the auditor should consider reliability of the audit evidence obtained. Reliability risks for electronic confirmations include:
So what should the process be?
The auditor needs a process in place to minimize the risks associated with confirmations with a third party. If the auditor plans to rely on electronic confirmations, he or she needs to address the three risks related to electronic confirmations. The auditor may choose to use an assurance trust services report or another auditor's report to assess the design and operation of the controls over electronic confirmations or the auditor may perform other procedures to obtain adequate audit evidence about the reliability of the confirmations.
Ways to provide security over electronic confirmations
Three ways to provide security over electronic confirmations include:
Where do we go from here?
In today's electronic age and with financial institutions looking for more efficient ways to handle auditor's requests for confirmation of accounts, requirements for the use of electronic confirmations only is a foregone conclusion. All we as auditors need to do is to put the proper controls in place and join the digital revolution.

Doors Open Preview: Milwaukee Recycling Facility
Updated: 4:33 PM CDT Sep 11, 2015
32 photos
1 of 32
As we preview the Doors Open Milwaukee event, Sept. 19-20, let's take a look at the City of Milwaukee & Waukesha County recycling facility:
The facility is located in Milwaukee's Menomonee River Valley, and processes single-stream recyclables for the City of Milwaukee and Waukesha County.
The counties partnered with ReCommunity to design, build and operate the facility, which opened in March of 2015.
Trucks from the city of Milwaukee and Waukesha County drop off their recyclables throughout the week.
A front-end loader scoops up recyclables and drops them on a large conveyor belt.
Workers and automation then sort the recyclables into several collection areas.
Workers pull out large recyclables, such as large metals and plastics, in the first sorting area.
In the presort cabin, items like plastic garbage cans or large metal items are pulled off the conveyor and dropped into bins below.
Large items are collected on floor areas below the conveyor and then baled for transport.
After the large items are sorted out, the conveyor moves into a multi-level area for finer sorting.
Human and optical sorters further divide the contents of the conveyor into their appropriate holding bins.
When we visited, the system was processing nearly 36 TONS of recyclables per hour!!
An auger helps level sorted material within the storage bunker.
The sorting platform features several different conveyors, many of which were presorted by optical sensors.
The Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) processes recyclables from more than 270,000 households in Waukesha County and the City of Milwaukee.
City of Milwaukee residents produce about 25,000 tons of recyclables each year.
25 communities in Waukesha County generate about 24,000 tons of recyclables.
More than 60,000 tons can be processed in the facility per year with a daily 8-hour weekday shift.
A single compactor can process and bale several different types of recyclables.
When a storage bin reaches a certain level, it is directed to the compacting and baling machine.
Plastics, steel, aluminum, paper, glass, and cartons are all processed at the MRF.
Bales of recyclables are then shipped to markets where they are re-processed and made into new, recycled products.
Glass bottles and jars are broken up and stored in separate containers for shipping.
And, yes, the MRF DOES recycle. :)
The MRF, located at 1401 W. Mt. Vernon Ave., is open on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the Doors Open Milwaukee program.
