Dir. Dylan Kussman (US, 2016, 93 min.)
In a tour-de-force performance, writer-actor Aaron Davidman conjures a host of different characters while seeking answers to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Creatively adapting his acclaimed one-man stage show using only simple props and backdrops, Davidman takes a multidimensional journey into the heart of the Middle East, and the intersection of politics, identity and spiritual yearning. He embodies and gives voice to 17 different characters on all sides of the existential divide–deftly moving between male and female, Jewish and Muslim, Israeli and Arab–modeling what it takes truly to bear witness through the eyes of the other.
Challenging long-held beliefs with sharp and unblinking observation, Davidman finds both entrenched isolation and shared humanity in the shifting moral compasses and competing narratives of all his characters. Filmmaker Dylan Kussman moves freely and seamlessly among three locations–a live theater audience, the open expanse of a vast desert, and a small dressing room–exploiting the interplay of theatrical spontaneity, cinematic poetry, and spiritual intimacy. The result is a unique hybrid of stage and cinema that reignites hope for the future of this troubled region.
Screening followed by Q&A with writer/actor Aaron Davidman

This takes them on a road trip to Sinai in search of a secret beach that does not exist. Lost in the desert, the group needs to bond to overcome a collection of hilarious mishaps.
Dir. Sylvain Biegeleisen, 70 min, Documentary (French)
The mother of Sylvain Biegeleisen, the director, is 94 years old, but in her mind she is still 20. She laughs, smokes cigarettes, sings and kisses. She is confined to bed, and her son spends hours of intimacy with her, which range from complete clarity and assertiveness to moments of loss of memory. This is a movie with a great sense of humor, joy and optimism, even when it touches upon the possibility of an imminent separation.

Dir. Errol Morris (USA, 2016, 76 min.)
Portrait photographer Elsa Dorfman found her medium in 1980: the larger-than-life Polaroid Land 20x24 camera. For the next 35 years she captured the "surfaces" of those who visited her Cambridge, Massachusetts studio--families, Beat poets, rock stars, and Harvard notables. As pictures begin to fade and her retirement looms, Dorfman gives Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris an inside tour of her backyard archive. In theaters June 30th.
"Dorfman was never a media or critics' darling in the ranks of modern photography. This film will convince you that she deserves a higher position in the pantheon." - The Hollywood Reporter

Dir. Joshua Z Weinstein (USA, 2017, 79 min.)
Deep in the heart of New York City's ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jewish community, Menashe—a kind, hapless grocery store clerk—struggles to make ends meet and responsibly parent his young son, Rieven, following his wife Leah's death. Tradition prohibits Menashe from raising his son alone, so Rieven's strict uncle adopts him, leaving Menashe heartbroken. Meanwhile, though Menashe seems to bungle every challenge in his path, his rabbi grants him one special week with Rieven before Leah's memorial. It's his chance to prove himself a suitable man of faith and fatherhood, and restore respect among his doubters. In theaters July 28th.

For most of their lives, a group of classmates have grown up together and are approaching 50 with varying degrees of frustration. The school they attend for people with Down Syndrome feels confining and they long for new challenges, greater independence, and more personal space. Director Maite Alberdi's observational warm and compassionate film features a mixture of heartache and humor, and hope for greater understanding of people with Down Syndrome, or anyone whose perceptions and abilities are different from the norm.

Something Strange in their Scents...
As they entered the cave, Beyla's pack settled down on the far side, their hindquarters against the cave wall and their heads pointed at the exit. All five pairs of eyes were fixed on the other pack. Beyla sighed, the mistrust and hostility between the packs was unbelieavably tangible. They had competed against these wolves for food and territory for years, and had always been natural competetors. This sudden decision to join with them was not only a shock, but it seemed to grate against their very instincts.
Instincts that these other wolves seemed to lack.
Beyla sat down beside her pack, watching the smaller pack with puzzlement on her face. They were some of the strangest creatures she had ever met, and not just because of the way they acted. Something seemed to be missing from them, something that she'd never noticed before, but she knew had always been there. It was like smelling a scent and, although it was familiar, it was different in some way, altered to something abnormal.
And that abnormality seemed to be the same through all of them, from the ill-tempered white female through to Akela himself.
In fact, if Beyla was honest with herself, he seemed to be the strangest of all.
The black she-wolf shook her head and made a soft "wuff" sound. Why was she thinking these strange thoughts? What did it matter if this pack were different to other wolves? Every wolf pack was individual, hers included, and each had its own traits that made it unique. This one may just be more unique than others. But still, it was rather unnerving.
Giving herself a brief shake, Beyla settled herself down beside Rin and put her head in her paws. Rest would help her clear her mind for the challenges she knew were going to face them all in the coming days. And maybe it would help her understand the other pack's strangeness...

Tatonka creek ranch review
So I've been meaning to get a review up here for awhile now. So this was my first exotic hunt. I'm fortunate enough to live in northwest CO where I can chase elk, mule deer, and antelope all fall but by March I'm over winter. Just so happens my in-laws live in San Antonio. We were headed down for the kids spring break anyways so I thought I'd give exotic hunting a try. I didn't want to spend a ton of money and didn't know what to expect so after looking around I found the discount ram hunts at tatonka creek ranch. This was before I discovered this site. Anyway I booked a hunt for me and my brother who met me down there. The owner john was helpful and answered all my questions honestly. We got down to the ranch in benavides on Tuesday afternoon. John sent me text to give us instructions to let ourselves in and get comfortable. The lodge was nothing fancy but it was clean and comfortable. My only complaint about the lodge was that the hot water was out. Our guide Anthony arrived promptly at 8 as promised. And we went out to the fenced in area where the Rams were. We did have some entertainment in the form of about 30 bison in the yard at the lodge when we woke up. We drove around for a bit on the mule then got out on foot a couple times to look closer at some Rams. I wanted a full curl Corsican with a nice beard so after looking at several Rams to figure out exactly what I was looking for Anthony said he knew one ram with a tight full curl and a great beard that I might like. He also said no one seemed to want him because of his tight curl so he made me a deal and said if shot him he would only charge me $345 instead of $495. As soon as we found him which took driving the sendaros for an hour I knew I wanted to shoot him. Lucky for me the group he was in was in a good spot for me to sneak up to within 20 yards and kill him. I couldn't have been happier with the morning hunt and had a great experience with taking my first exotic. That evening we sat in blind with corned roads and saw fallows, nilgai, red deer, whitetail, Catalina goats, and Rams but not the pig we were after. The next morning which was our last hunt my brother killed a $295 Texas dall. His hunt was easy since he didn't have his bow and had to use his rifle. Personally even being a small ram I thought he was a cool looking animal.
All said and done it was fun and I would go back. Hard to beat the price if nothing else. I wish the hunt had been a little more diy. Also the one thing I would have done differently after driving 2 and half hours south of San Antonio would be shoot 2 animals next time.

Me and 4 buddies went out there Spring of 2015. We had an awesome experience on a guys get a way weekend. One buddy killed a ram on the Friday evening we got there with his bow and the rest of us killed on Saturday. Spent Saturday evening telling lies, grilling and drinking some beer. The lodge is nothing special but we didn't need anything fancy. Glad your hunt was successful!

Oh and since this was my first exotic hunt I wasn't sure about how Rams would taste but I took a chance. I found that at first it had a nice mild flavor especially compared to mule deer buck but it was a bit tough. Not as good as elk but good. Ranked somewhere around pronghorn antelope for me. After dry aging it at home at 38 degrees for 10 days I butchered it and found the backstraps were tender and had great flavor. Since I already had deer, elk, and antelope burgers, steaks and roasts in the freezer I turned the rest of the sheep into snack sticks and jerky. Everyone I work with wants to shoot one now.

Xiu Xiu - Devendra Banhart - Support Our Troops, Oh! lyrics
Devendra Banhart - Support Our Troops, Oh! by Xiu Xiu
Did you know you were going to shoot
Off the top of a four year old girl's head
And look across her car-seat down into her skull
And see into her throat and did you know
That her dad would say to you,
"Please sir, can I take her body home?"
Oh wait, you totally did know... that that would happen
Cause you're a jock who was too stupid and too greedy
And too unmotivated to do anything else but still be
The biggest and still do what other people tell you to do
You did it to still be a winner
You shot your grenade launcher into peoples' windows and
Into the doors of peoples' houses why should I care if
You get killed?

We all love Yak. But that's a bit of an exaggeration. He's played half a year in the NHL. He needs to work on his defence and he has to be sheltered for a while longer. Experience counts for something. At least if you're after the playoffs and not #1 OV draft picks.
Yak will be the better player, obviously, but he has to earn it, IMO. And he will. I think that the player who is performing the best should get the ice time. He's a young guy in his second (first full) season. There will be times that he looks like Ovie and times that he looks like Schremp. That's what happens to young players. Its not straight line progression.
Also, he has to learn to play with a target on his back. That's not easy. It won't hurt to have Hemsky there to eat some of the hard minutes while he figures out how to go super nova.

The RF had a significant predictive value for enophthalmos appearance (AUC = 0.75, P = 0.02), and MH for diplopia (AUC = 0.80, P = 0.03). Among patients with complications, the relevance of MSS and MH as well as the severity of vertical deviation were also clinically strongly associated (rho = −0.52 and −0.56).
Our study revealed the significantly predictive value of RF for occurrence of enophthalmos and of MH for diplopia persistence. Although statistically unable to predict the occurrence of ocular motility restriction, MH and MSS were clinically strongly correlated with the severity of ocular deviation limitations.

I really do like it
I don't know where the page is, but there is a description that basically says "yea, reviews are opinions. We'll just give you a general idea through our experience". Wow, go figure. Being truthful. And the PAX panel really pointed this out.
dont mean to do a giantbomb vs. gamespot thing, but as a classic example, gamespots outlook:
"Wait, reviews are just opinions. Right?"
Actually, we don't think so. We make no excuses for our verdicts about games and believe our reviews stand for themselves. While our reviews, of course, do contain an element of subjectivity to them, we see the process of reviewing games as one that primarily involves the reporting of facts. To an extent, we naturally color these facts based on our own experiences of having spent much time playing other games in the past, but we make every effort to look at every game on its own merits, and we describe each game in the most factual terms possible. To this end, in the rare event that one of our reviews contains a factual inaccuracy, we will correct the inaccuracy and will acknowledge it in an editor's note that's appended to the end of the review.
seriously? Mr. Gamespot, you realize that 2 of my favorite games this gen are Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, right? So you're basically wrong based solely on 1 person (yea, it can be debunked that easily when they set theirs up this way)
But its not about reviews, its about the whole entertainment of it all.
Long live the bomb!

This past quarter saw the lowest number of enforcement actions against financial institutions since 2013 (though there were some prominent cases in the media spotlight that may have led observers to think otherwise.)
New Haven, Conn.-based compliance management company Continuity noted that despite the decrease in enforcement actions — 99 vs. 150 in the prior quarter and 159 the previous year — financial institutions will still need to devote the equivalent of an additional 1.63 FTEs to manage their compliance burden, or $39,734 for the quarter.
The most recent installment of Continuity's quarterly Banking Compliance Index was released on Oct. 19. The company bases its compliance costs on a small bank size ($350 million). If your bank is much larger, this may mean the new regulations issues this quarter for financial institutions — 77, totaling 2,727 pages — may not make much of a difference. But for smaller institutions, the ever-growing regulatory burden can mean a rolling crisis.
Pam Perdue, executive vice president and chief regulatory officer for Continuity, said that the major actions during the quarter may have lowered the total number of actions. "Those consumed a larger portion of the agency's resources," she told Bank Innovation.
Perdue also pointed out that smaller banks should be wary of facing what Wells Fargo faced. "It takes time for the concepts and principles [used in the Wells Fargo CFPB action] to trickle down," she said. "This will trickle down to smaller institutions." But chances are it will not be so severe. "Wells Fargo was a bit of an outlier. It had a unique fact pattern of encouraging and incentivizing this behavior. The agency will be on notice to look out for unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices — UDAAP concerns."
The fear of actions trickling down to smaller banks may lead those institutions to embrace standards, which makes meeting regulatory requirements more predictable, as well as the technology that helps satisfy those requirements in a systemized way.
There is also the hope that a Trump may sweep away many of the more irksome requirements, including much of Dodd-Frank, but Perdue finds that unlikely. "Undoing what's been done is more complex than soundbites," she said. "Un-entangling the 280-some regulations could be as expensive and time-consuming as it was to put them in."
At the same time, a Trump administration would be unlikely to show as much interest in enforcing fair lending laws, she said. The main effect of a Trump administration will not be fewer regulations, Perdue noted, but perhaps, fewer resources available to agencies to enforce existing regulations.
Banks, in other words, may look forward to a period of benign neglect, after being in an unwelcome spotlight for too many years.

Little thoughts and dreams.
Dreams, both day and night.
She was sitting on one of the red chairs against the wall. Music was blaring; she could feel the bass in the floor, vibrating up through the plastic and into her bones. Lights of green and purple and yellow twirled around the ceiling and exploded against the wall like fireworks. Her classmates were scattered about the cafeteria-turned-dance-floor. No one would stop and ask her if she was ok, no one would grab her by the hand and pull her to the floor, no one would ask her to dance. She'd just sit there until it was time to leave, convinced that this school dance would be just like all the others.
She sat in her teal and purple dress, shawl wrapped around her shoulders, heels on the chair next to her. Her legs were pulled up to the side of her, resting on the chair, her hair swept to the side in a pretty wave. Her eyes glistened in the light, more beautiful than the stars. But no one would notice. At least she was convinced they wouldn't.
She saw that boy, the one that made her heart beat a little faster and that made her smile and go all warm inside. He was walking, looking as cute as ever, with his hair lying perfectly around his face. He was all she needed and he was walking to some girl, asking her to dance. She sighed, wondering if she'd ever be that lucky. He looked at her, a few feet from his girl. He wouldn't see a beautiful girl sitting there, but a nerd, as she'd always been, nothing more than a friend to him. Embarrassed and ashamed she looked down. The tears were there, but she didn't want them to fall. She wouldn't let them, not again, not another shower on her night. After all, that's what this was supposed to be, her night. Her night to shine and be loved by all the guys, the night she was supposed to be so pretty everyone was jealous. She was disappointed. Again.
Sitting there, wallowing in self-pity, she felt a shadow fall over her. Well, more like a prescence above her, as it was dark in the cafeteria. She blinked back the tears that were still threatening to spill and looked up with a face that said, "I'm fine." She'd mastered this face. At least she assumed she had since everyone always believed it.
He was standing there. With that cute little grin he had. He didn't say anything, just smiled at her.
She dropped the fake smile as it turned into a real one. But she, too, didn't say a word.
It could've been seconds, minutes, even an hour that they stood like that. Time doesn't really matter when you're in love. But finally, he reached down and grabbed her hand, as the rap faded and a slower song came on. He gently pulled her into the middle of the floor and wrapped his arms around her waist. She, in turn, placed her arms around his neck, locking her hands behind him. She slowly placed her head on his shoulders, not wanting him to disappear.
They danced together, and the song seemed to go on forever.
But this, this is the end of the story, because here, here is where I woke up. Here is where I learned I was in love.

Parties, man. The worst. Who do you invite? Or more specifically, how do you invite everyone except for that guy? New Year's Eve parties? The worst of the worst. A day already filled with expectations, topped with anticipation, with a dash of nostalgia and/or regret. Thank goodness there are people who are paid to tell us what to do and what not to do to avoid garish social faux pas. Marie Manning, writing under the pseudonym Beatrice Fairfax, wrote the first newspaper advice column in the New York Evening Journal in 1898. The format proved an instant success, with other columns written mainly by women popping up in subsequent years. Naturally, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle needed a column, too.
December 24, 1922
From 1922 to 1934, Ms. Helen Decie wrote Brooklyn Daily Eagle's etiquette column. Ms. Decie (after all, one must always use a formal address until requested otherwise) was a no-nonsense kind of lady, hence the title of her daily column: "Etiquette." She answered questions and offered general tips, never shying away from the really tough issues like who gets to enter the car first (the driver, followed by the oldest) and mourning veils: "The continued wearing of a mourning veil is entirely a matter of personal choice. No convention is so often disregarded nowadays as is the old-fashioned 'prescribed period.' Usually a widow wears black with a long veil at the funeral and with a short veil for a year afterward. Thereafter, if she is 'still young,' she may go into colors if she pleases" (18 Sept 1930). Golly, thanks!
Ms. Decie didn't pull any punches (not that a lady would ever punch, slap, or commit any act of violence, as those are displays of the uneducated classes). You have a friend that is superstitious? A) "As a matter of good breeding it is vulgar to be superstitious; as a matter of common sense, superstition is blank foolishness..." (22 Aug 1930), and B) rethink that friendship.
And don't ever let Ms. Decie catch you speaking ill about a hostess behind her back.
September 17th, 1927
After all, "Hospitality is one of the most ancient and sacred of social traditions. When a guest gossips about the affairs of a host or hostess, or permits herself even to criticize the household arrangements, she is doing what no well-bred woman would do, and thereby stamps herself as a disloyal, ignorant and vulgar troublemaker whom every hearer instinctively distrusts and dislikes" (27 Sept 1927).
Needless to say, Ms. Decie isn't to be trifled with. When planning your holiday parties this season, it might be wise to heed her advice.
For starters, leave your Christmas decorations up and add bells cut from cardboard that say "Happy 1934!" or, "Happy 2015!" as the case may be. As for entertainment: "Ask your more musical guests to bring their music. Time the musicale - including Christmas songs and New Year songs - with interludes of conversation, from 9 to 11, when refreshments are served." (27 Dec 1933). For party favors, jump in your time machine and check out B. Shackman's at 906 Broadway (which is now a furniture store).
December 28th, 1926
If, at your New Year's party, you feel like your dance partner might want to take a break but is too gentlemanly to ask, Ms. Decie suggests you let him know that you "require a moment's rest." Good to have code words during tense social interactions.
December 29th, 1928
And, on the (very) off chance you're throwing a masquerade party, but you don't want to shatter the illusion by answering the door in costume (but not mask, as a lady does not answer a door masked), why not have your mother or some other relative receive your guests? Such logic. She also suggests that you harken back to a more youthful time and forgo New Year's Eve parties. Bring back Saint Sylvester's Day, which the day was called previously and, in many countries, still is. Sylvester supposedly both baptized Emperor Constantine and cured him of leprosy. Sounds to me like as delightful a reason as any to celebrate with bonbons and turkey, two dishes often suggested as holiday party foods.
October 2nd, 1927
"Etiquette" has hundreds of entries. In 1934, the column changed hands and went to Ann Deveraux who wrote "Tips of Etiquette" until the paper's demise. Looking back at old newspapers often sheds light on customs long past, some of which might make a welcome return. If you're interested in perusing the daily life of Brooklynites, you can head to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Also, Newspapers.com also has digitized magazines dedicated to the upper echelon of Brooklyn's society, Brooklyn Life and its later incarnation, Brooklyn Life and Activities of Long Island Society, for hours and hours of high-class perusal.
The Brooklyn Collection wishes you a happy and healthy holiday season full of proper parties.
Oh, and yes, you can serve finger bowls at a formal dinner. Finger bowls, small bowls with water for the dipping and cleaning of fingers after the fruit course, come out just before dessert. One will dip their fingers, gently touch their lips, and dry with a napkin. But don't put ice or perfume in the water. That would simply be foolish.
Note to self: need those finger bowl for the next year's part!

The sun shone down upon Privet Drive brightly one day in mid July, welcoming the residents to step outside their homes and bask in all its glory upon their pristine lawns.
However, not everyone of Privet Drive had noticed the sunshine outside or the cool summer breeze that swept through the air. This person was Harry Potter. He was a perfectly ordinary 16 year old boy… well, unless you count the curiously lightning bolt shaped scar that resided upon his forehead, yet well hidden beneath an ever-growing and untidy mop of black hair.
Harry had received this scar the night both his parents had been killed. They had been murdered at the hands of the darkest wizard ever known to the wizarding world, the world to which Harry Potter belonged.
However, the dark wizard known as Lord Voldemort, or 'He-who-must-not-be-named' had failed at his attempt to kill Harry because of Harry's mother, Lily. Lily Potter had sacrificed herself in an attempt to save her son from such a fate as she, and by so doing, protected Harry with a blood bond that at the time was unknown to Voldemort. So when Voldemort struck Harry with the fatal 'Avada Kedavra' curse, the spell backfired leaving Voldemort stripped of his powers and a mere bodiless entity.
Since then Lord Voldemort had been slowly regaining his power, whilst his followers, known as Death Eaters, rejoined their master's side. Last year, Harry had been tricked into the department of mysteries by a vision that he had received by Voldemort of him torturing Harry's godparent Sirius Black. Along with his friends, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny and Luna; Harry had gone to the department of mysteries in an attempt to what he thought was a rescue mission. However, they were set upon by Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters and very nearly killed, only when The Order arrived with Sirius did they realise the trap that had been set for them, I trap in which cost Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, his life.
For almost a month now Harry had been replaying the events that took place at the ministry over and over again in his head. Thinking how foolish he had been to believe that Sirius was in trouble and then how stupid it was of him to endanger his friends and his own life by gallivanting off to the Ministry of Magic. Most nights he would cry himself to sleep, muttering how sorry he was that he had cost Sirius his life, that it was all his fault.
When Harry did eventually get to sleep, he would suffer from nightmares of watching Sirius fall through the veil over and over again, and when Harry would reach the veil he'd pull it back only to reveal the decayed and rotting face of his once handsome godfather, saying, 'Why Harry? Why do you always have to play the hero?' at which Harry would choke between sobs, 'I'm sorry Sirius, I'm sorry!' To which the rotted flesh would form a smile before widening and uttering a high pitched, cold, merciless laugh. The laugh of Lord Voldemort.
For many nights now Harry had awoken from the same re-occurring dream in a cold sweat and his scar prickling slightly.
Harry however, being in the low, self-pitying mood that he was in, found that the nightmares served as his punishment and that he deserved to have them, after all he had cost Sirius his life, and compared to that what were a few nightmares?
On top of all this, Harry also had the over-hanging weight of the prophecy upon him. Before the end of last year, Professor Dumbledore had revealed to him what the prophecy had said, after the record of it at the department of mysteries was smashed.
Harry still hadn't come to terms with what it meant yet, he was still grieving for Sirius and his mind was so full of other things that the last thing he wanted was to begin contemplating that he either had to be victim or murderer.
He also hadn't heard much from the wizarding world this summer, despite Dumbledore's actions of last year when he had admitted his mistake in keeping things from Harry, it didn't seem as though much had changed. Every letter he had received was pretty much the same:
Dear Harry,
How are you? I'm fine, I went to the south of France with my parents, it was lovely. I wanted to send you a postcard but thought better of it since well… you know…
Ron and I are at Headquarters, there seems to be lots going on however we're still not allowed to sit in on any of the meetings and no one seems to want to tell us anything of any importance, and what we do know we can't put in any letters in case they are intercepted… but don't worry, we'll be sure to fill you in on all that we know when you do get here. Which by the way should be pretty soon.
Harry, I just wanted to say don't punish yourself over what happened last year, I know it's hard, we all miss Sirius, but I know he wouldn't want you to mope around all summer, he'd want you to live life, get out there and do things…
Anyway, hope to see you soon,
Hey mate, things are really boring around here. Mum won't let us in on any of the meetings still and because Fred and George have joined The Order now we can't even use any of their Extendable Ears! How are you? Hope the Muggles are treating you right? Otherwise we'll come right over and get you, and maybe set Moody on them!! Listen don't worry too much about you know… what happened before at the Ministry. Nobody blames you, so you shouldn't blame yourself either, ok?
Well see you soon mate,
Ps) Mum and Dad say that they'll be picking you up sometime before Saturday, but they'll owl you before.
After passing through the barrier of platform 9¾ last year, Harry had been told to owl the order at least once every three days to tell them that he was ok and that the muggles (Harry's Aunt and Uncle) were treating him ok. Harry had resigned to writing them at the very last moment, before he worried that the whole Order might arrive if they didn't hear from him. Every note was the same: I'm fine. He had also told Hedwig not to await for a reply, he didn't want them to be sending him messages back, just so long as they didn't come storming through the house in search of him, he was fine.
However, Harry was not fine at all. He had barely eaten anything that his aunt Petunia slid through the cat flap that had been placed in his door to pass his food through, and the only times he left his room was to go to the bathroom or cook the Dursley's their breakfast. The Dursley's it seemed, were happy with this arrangement. In their opinion the less they saw of Harry the better the day would seem. Not that Harry minded, the last thing he wanted now was attention, all he wanted was to sink into shadow, and never be found again.
Now however, Harry's room was basking in sunlight and any hope of shadow to hide in was lost. Harry groaned. He was sprawled on his back on top of the covers of his bed, wide awake, just staring at the ceiling, watching as Sirius fell in slow-motion through the mysterious veil. His thoughts were disrupted however when their was a rush of wings and the hoot of a tawny owl as it glided into the room, landing softly on Harry's bed. Slowly Harry raised himself off the bed into a sitting position, taking the rolled up newspaper from the Tawny's grasp. He placed a Knut inside the owls pouch before it took off again outside the open window.
Harry picked up the paper and unfurled it, he glanced down at the front page as his eyes became round like saucers behind his wire-rimmed glasses.
Below the headline were the mug shots of three of the Death Eaters to have escaped. To the left was Antonin Dolohov, next was Rodolphos LeStrange, and lastly Lucius Malfoy. Harry's heart sank still lower, all that had happened at the end of last year had been in vain, the Death Eaters that they had helped capture had now escaped, and what's worse was that now the Dementors had joined Voldemort too. Sirius had died for nothing.
Suddenly another owl came sweeping through the open window, Harry recognised it immediately as Pig. The small owl buzzed around Harry's room excitedly, obviously thrilled at being used to deliver another message. Harry stood on top his bed and snatched at the letter held in Pig's claws, who obviously didn't want a reply as it flew back out through the window again.
Harry, expecting to read Ron's scruffy scrawl as he looked at the parchment was surprised to see the loopy, neat handwriting of Professor Lupin:
Be ready to leave by midnight tonight, we're coming to get you.
Remus Lupin.
Having nothing else better to do Harry decided to pack his trunk even though it was only lunchtime. He even folded-up all of his clothes and placed them neatly at the bottom of his trunk, before resting all of his spell books and homework on top. He quickly scrawled a note on the back of the parchment that Lupin had used saying:
Ok. I'm sending Hedwig ahead.
Then he attached the note to Hedwig and watched as she took off out the window. He dragged his trunk towards his door and placed Hedwig's cage and his Firebolt next to it. He looked longingly at his Firebolt, Dumbledore had sent it back to him along with six owls carrying it, only last week. The Firebolt was the broomstick that Sirius had given him in his third year at Hogwarts, he let the tears stain his face before breaking down completely and collapsing to the floor, still clutching the broomstick. Soon he was asleep again.
'Why Harry? Why do you always have to play the hero?'
'I'm sorry Sirius. I'm sorry!'
Unaware of what time it was, Harry awoke from the nightmare that had plagued him since the beginning of summer. He was drenched in a cold sweat and his scar tingled painfully, but he brushed away his tears angrily. He had no business crying, this was what he deserved.
Finally he found his alarm clock, it was 8pm. He gingerly got to his feet, immediately wishing he hadn't as his head began to spin and his scar burst open. The pain was excruciatingly painful, like nothing he had ever felt before, worse than when it had hurt at the ministry. He came crashing back down to the floor, his head banging against the solid floor.
'…you have done well it seems', came the familiar high pitched and cold voice of Lord Voldemort.
'Yes, my Lord, thank-you master.' Their face was hidden in shadow by their dark hood
'What of the Aurors?
The masked face of Bellatrix LeStrange was thrown into view as Harry watched from the eyes of Voldemort himself.
'Obliviated, my Lord.'
Voldemort's lipless mouth formed a grotesque smile. 'Bella, you shall be rewarded.'
'Thank-you master, thank-you!' Bellatrix grovelled in front of Voldemort's feet as she kissed the hem of his black robes and bowed before him.
The usually sleek blonde hair of Lucius Malfoy appeared to be dull and knotted, his face grimy and his fingernails caked in dirt.
'My Lord.' He replied grovelling before the feet of Voldemort before repeating LeStrange's actions and kissing the hem of his robes.
Voldemort regarded him for a moment or two before kicking him in the side away from him. Lucius rolled away from him and recoiled into a small ball before gingerly stooping into a very low bow.
'Get up.'
Lucius slowly got to his feet and winced.
'You failed me before Lucius. You should be grateful that I even bothered to release you from Azkaban!'
'Yes my Lord, I am Master!'
Continuing as if Lucius had not said anything Voldemort said, 'However, I am in a good mood. You shall prove your loyalty to me and that you can be trusted once again by completing this simple task…' Voldemort seemed to pause as if deciding to continue or not. '…you will find out what was in the prophecy between myself and Potter. If you fail, the consequences will be severe. Do I make myself clear?'
Lucius hurriedly replied, 'Y-yes my Lord.'
'Good. Do not give me reason to doubt your service to me again, and use any means necessary'
'Yes Master.' Lucius replied with again a very low bow before sweeping away, out of Harry's view.
The vision faded and Harry was brought back to the confines of his bedroom. He wheezed for air as bile rose inside of his throat seeking exit, and before he knew it he had been sick and passed out again on the floor.
A/N: I've already written up to chapter 17 so far, so updates should be pretty regular for a while. Hope you enjoyed this, and don't forget to review!! :D Sam.

Wireless Door Chimes
For this category, wireless is defined from the transmitter (push button) to the receiver. These kits typically come in one of two flavors; plug-in or battery operated receivers. We carry both models with plug-in & battery operated receivers, as well as specialty chimes that have a longer range, flashing lights, and more.
Browse these wireless categories below to find the specific type of product you are looking for. Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance.
There are several factors you need to know prior to selecting the right wireless products. The best thing you can do it give us a call and we would be happy to help you. You can also consult the article titled "Reviews & Advice on Choosing the Best Wireless Doorbell."
Below are some items you need to consider when choosing your chime.
The most important thing to consider is the distance from the transmitter (push button) to the receiver (speaker). Most manufacturers publish a range when tested in ideal environments, which usually means line-of-site and no interference. Any walls will dimish the signal by 20%-30%.
- Standard chimes: have a range of up to 150 ft. For standard chimes, you should feel comfortable selecting any of the products in the plug-in or battery operated products.
- Long range chimes: have distances up to 2,500 ft. (depending on the model). We have a good artcile you can read regarding long range chimes.
- We covered long range chimes above, but we would also consider that to be a specialty type of chime. If so, we recommend you select the long range category.
- If you are hard of hearing or in a loud environment, you might want to consider a wireless chime with some sort of visual indicator. For standard chimes we have the WC180 flashing chime. If you need a long range chime and also a flashing light, there are two choices, the DC-1000 with a range of 1,000 ft. , and the WDK-2500-STROBE, which has a range of up to 2,500 ft. For a standard chime with a visual indicator, you can also choose the RC4120 which is compatible with other Carlon chimes.
- The only real difference between these two different categories is whether the receiver is battery powered or plugs into a wall outlet. Other than that, the functionality is basically the same.
- Battery operated door chime kits usually operate using C-sized or D-sized alkaline batteries. The DC-1000 is battery operated, however, an plug-in transformer is available for additional purchase. Battery operated chimes may either be hung on the wall, while some models can sit on a desk or flat surface.
- Plug-in chimes plug into a standard wall outlet.
- An important note is that "most" brands are compatible with one-another, regardless if they are plug-in or battery operated. The exception to this rule is the Honeywell brand, which has A, B, C, and D versions you need to consider.
If you have an existing product, your choices are little more limiting. First, determine the brand. In most cases you can purcase additional receivers, plugin or battery operated. There are compatiblity issue with older models, so we encourage you to give us a call.
For example, if you have the Dimango, Carlon, or Lamson & Sessions brand names, the technology changed in 2000 making the older models non-compatible with the more recent models.
More about the different Wireless Products:
Plugin Models:Installation is a snap with plug-in chime kits. Simply mount the push button transmitter to the outside door and plug-in the door chime receiver into a standard wall outlet. With most manufacturer's you can mix and match battery powered and plug-in receivers.
Battery Powered:
These chime kits typically contain a transmitter and a receiver. The difference between these kits and the plug-in versions is that the receivers in these kits are powerd by batteries.
Don't let the fact that these are battery powered worry you. Typically, the batteries will last 12-24 months, depeding on usaage and environmental factors. Battery operation allows you to mount these chime higher in the wall, and allows the manufacturer to design a more aesthetic design that seen in most plug-in models. As with the plug-in version, if you stay with a particular manufacturer, like Carlon, you can mix and match plug-in and battery operated receivers.
Long Range Wireless Bells:
Long Range Door Chimes are wireless systems designed to work over long distances and locations where standard wireless products have trouble working.
When to use a longer range product:
- when distances from push button to receiver is over 100 ft.
- when building materials will interfer with standard products
- when you have tried products from box retail stores but they don't have the power need
- for special situations when you need speakers, strobe lights, or visual indicators for your commercial application
Flashing Strobe Light Products:
Whether you're hard of hearing or need to hear a door chime in a loud area, our flashing wireless chimes are an inexpensive way to ensure you never miss a visitor to your door. We carry a line of products designed for residential and commercial use that are easy to install, easy to maintain, and work great.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Wyndham Vacation Ownwership gave my account to Pinnacle without contacting me first for the maintenance fee. They wanted me to default on a timeshare located on the water front. I paid immediately my 2009 maintenance fee, when I was contacted. I also paid 1/2 of financial charges they assessed. They still did not want to deal with me at all. I contacted their lawyer, explained my situation and included my 2010 fess in February but the lawyer returned my check! In April, I received a bill from them for 2010 maintenance fees and additional interest and late fees for 2009 maintenance fees, which I have had paid last year. I sent the 2010 maintenance fee with a note explaining that I have paid my fees for 2009 year. I just received a duplicate bill showing the same charges!, as sent before. They did not even bother to subtract 2010 fees I have paid.
The company does not seem to care for individual opinions and situations. There is no one whom you can talk to and explain the situation. They just do not care. It is very frustrating because I sent certified letters (in 2009 when explaining my situation) and yet I did not receive any answers.
I deal with many companies and people but I consider Wyndham the worst for customer quality. And yet, they are paid by us, the timeshare owners!!!!
Is there someone in the public, or government, who can evaluate the situation and determine if Wyndham purposely leads people into default?, especailly those that have timeshare in potentially attractive properties (ie water front).

Doesn't America have more than 42 allies?
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
One of the odder moments of last night's debate was Mitt Romney's reference to America's 42 allies:
We need to have strong allies. Our association and — and connection with our allies is essential to America's strength. We're the — the great nation that has allies, 42 allies and friends around the world.
Spokeswoman Andrea Saul told the Daily Caller that Romney was referring to "NATO Allies, Major Non-NATO Allies, and NATO contact countries" and provided a list. It's still a strangely limited definition.
I suspect most Americans would be surprised by a list of allies that includes Pakistan, but not Mexico. The exclusion of China is certainly arguable, though it's America's second-largest trading partner, but what about India? The United States, apparently, has no allies in sub-Saharan Africa, which is probably news to those U.S. troops helping to train the Ugandan military. The only U.S. ally in Latin America is Argentina. (So much for that whole Plan Colombia thing.) Bahrain is a U.S. ally, but non-NATO member Sweden — which has sent troops to Afghanistan — is not. We may all be Georgians, as John McCain famously put it, but the Georgians are not U.S. allies.
Romney's list is actually smaller than the 49 countries than the Bush administration listed as part of the Coalition of the Willing. A symptom of American decline, perhaps?

Gordon McKay, a hydrologist at the bureau of meteorology said parts of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, had experienced their worst floods for more than 50 years after a week of rain. Those trapped included 1,000 fans attending a four-day music festival near Tenterfield.
Flood waters also isolated several communities in Queensland and the Northern Territory, which were lashed by a cyclone over the weekend.
The main road from the east to the west coast city of Perth was closed yesterday because of a blaze that remained out of control eight days after three truck drivers died trying to drive through a wall of fire.
Federal lawmaker Barry Haase, whose 2.3m sq km (890,000 sq mile) outback electorate is described as the largest in the world, called for the Great Eastern Highway to be reopened despite the danger so that interstate trade could resume.
But state official Peter Keppel said the fire, which has burned 45,000 hectares (111,200 acres) of scrubland since it started on December 28, remained dangerous.
Water-dropping aircraft were used to attack a fire in a national park in Victoria. North of Victoria in New South Wales, thousands of people might remain cut off for up to a week, emergency service spokesman Phil Campbell said.

Chandigarh, Jun 18 (UNI) The Chandigarh chapter of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) will work for relaxing changes in the Organ Transplant Act, to make it more flexible accommodating and caring towards the needs of the patients who are in dire need of such transplants.
Addressing a press conference at the Chandigarh Press Club here today, Dr Zora Singh, President, IMA Chandigarh State Branch, felt that the illegal organ transplant is driven by the huge gap in demand and supply equation and it could only be addressed by making changes in the provisions of Human Organ Transplant Act of 1994.
'' The changes will not only be patient savvy but will also dissuade unscrupulous persons into the racket of organ trade,'' he added.
Dr Singh said IMA would also like to bridge the gap between the doctor and the patient created by the Consumer Protection Act and work for better relationship between the two.
The IMA would like UT administration to emulate Andhra Pradesh where assault on hospital staff has been made a non-bailable offence.

Justin Bieber has grown into his role of superstar
We've seen Justin Bieber the Boy in Milwaukee. Sunday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, local Beliebers will see Justin Bieber the Man.
The pop superstar is 18 now, and with his adult status his music has grown up a bit, evident by his June album, "Believe."
In place of chirpy singles like "Baby" and "Never Say Never" are the breathy, R&B cool of "Boyfriend" and the EDM-infused electricity of "As Long As You Love Me."
It's a tricky transition, moving from kid idol to legit grown-up star, and one that's often fraught with failure. But if anything, Bieber is more popular now than he was when he made his Milwaukee debut at Summerfest 2010.
It's not just his looks, although that's clearly a big part of his celebrity. It's not just his playful personality, which his mom, Pattie Mallette, recently told the Journal Sentinel was a mix of Bart Simpson, Dennis the Menace and Zack Morris from "Saved by the Bell."
It's not even just about his singing voice, or his lovey-dovey songs set to a peppy pop beat.
The reason why so many love Bieber is that he's been able to forge what is arguably a stronger bond with his fans than any teen idol who came before him.
He's the first pop superstar of the social media generation. He wasn't groomed for stardom like former Disney talents such as Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers. He was found in 2007 by manager Scooter Braun singing songs on homemade videos on YouTube, when he was just 13. He isn't mysterious, or totally inaccessible. He constantly shares his feelings with fans through Facebook and Twitter.
Bieber's music video for "Baby" is the most watched of all time on YouTube with 787 million views. He's the second most popular person on Twitter with nearly 29 million followers. He has even more followers on Facebook - close to 47 million.
His current "Believe" tour kicked off Sept. 29 in Glendale, Ariz., and runs for 46 dates in North America through January.
"It's larger than life," Mallette said of the tour, which is directed by dance choreographer and filmmaker Jon M. Chu, who directed the 3-D Bieber concert documentary "Never Say Never."
Media photos and fan videos support her statement. Bieber makes his grand entrance by flying onto the stage with giant wings made of cymbals and guitars, and the lavish stage show is stocked with slick choreography and eye-popping multimedia production.
According to Forbes, promoter AEG Live is giving Bieber $80 million to perform 125 shows. It seems to have been a good investment. Bieber's Summerfest show - June 27, 2010, to be exact, a date local Beliebers will forever cherish - eventually sold out. But all the U.S. dates for Bieber's current tour reportedly sold out within an hour of the tickets going on sale to the public.
"I don't think there's another tour (this year) that has had the same level of demand as Justin Bieber," said Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of concert tracking trade publication Pollstar.
"That kind of heat doesn't last forever, . . . but that kind of heat is incredible. It's his moment."

Robin de Wilde QC – the veteran campaigner for greater democracy at the Bar – is set to stand for vice-chairman of the Bar Council in this month's elections.
So far one barrister, Jonathan Hirst QC, has confirmed he will be standing. It is believed that two others, Julian Malins QC – who like Hirst was unsuccessful last year – and Stephen Hockman QC, are also considering standing. However, Nigel Pascoe QC, who stood last year, has been ruled out of the running because of illness in his family.
De Wilde burst onto the Bar's political scene in 1985 when he helped found the Bar democracy movement, known as "The Slate", with Anthony Scrivener QC and Gareth Williams QC, who both went on to be Bar Council chairmen.
If de Wilde wins it will be a remarkable comeback after being elected back onto the Bar Council last December. At last year's AGM he caused a storm when he likened the Bar Council to a communist regime.
De Wilde played down the speculation and told The Lawyer: "I have nothing to say on the issue."
Malins, a commercial barrister at One Hare Court, is vice-chairman of the Bar Council's legal services committee; Hirst, a commercial specialist at Brick Court Chambers, chairs the professional standards committee; and Hockman, an administrative barrister who heads 6 Pump Court, is chairman of bar services and IT committee.
Nominations have to be in by 25 September and the vote, by secret ballot, will take place at the Bar Council meeting the next day.

You keep on expecting some big twist from this low-budget stalk-and-slash horror, but director Jonathan Levine and writer Jacob Forman flatter to deceive with their teens-in-peril scenario.
Amber Heard plays Mandy, dreamy cynosure of her high school, who's persuaded to go on a road trip to a friend's ranch and finds herself vaguely alienated by the loose talk and sexual horseplay. (What did she expect?)
You soon realise that the killer is the most obvious suspect and his modus operandi is the least ingenious in the history of screen psychopaths. An exercise in misanthropy gone wrong; you only end up hating the film-makers.

On our recent trip, we basically ate our way through the country.

First he looked at each bread. Then he touched each bread. Then he smelled each bread. He told me what each one would look like inside and why -- how dense, how many air pockets -- and what I could expect from their taste. Then he cut them open, horizontally, to make his point.
When I visited Germany, the authentic pretzels served with every meal were my absolute favorite. Pretzel buns, though, are much more functional and great for snacking or sandwiches.
Like clockwork, every Monday, the man in the bread truck would deliver the softest and freshest bread I had ever tasted.
The secret, and it is not much of a secret anymore, is to eat what is fresh and in season. Mussels are in season at Superbowl time and a super bowl of them is sure to be a hit at your party.

Chapter Seven (Part 2)
What I'd said must have been quite significant as Lea's eyes widened like an owl's, and she looked like she might throw up again.
"Crud! I'd completely forgotten!" She half-shouted, running her hands through her hair in frustration. "Pick up and just tell her I won't be able to make it!"
With no idea whatsoever of what she was referring to, I did as she instructed, turning on the loudspeaker option. "Hello?"
The woman sounded like she was in a hurry as she said, "Hi Lea, it's Mrs. Reeds. You were supposed to be here around fifteen minutes ago, where are you?"
"Mrs. Reeds, this is Roxanne speaking. I'm Lea's sisters. Lea's really sick actually so she won't be able to make it."
Lea gave me a thumbs-up from across the room.
"Oh dear, I really need a baby-sitter though. My husband and I are headed out all day for an important meeting."
I bit down on my lip, wondering what to say to that when I saw Lea signaling me to say something. She kept jabbing her finger in my direction as if to say 'you! You!' I shook my head violently at her, no way was I baby-sitting anyone.
"I really can't afford to stay back now," Mrs. Reeds sounded quite desperate and with a sigh, knowing that I would probably regret this later, I said, "I can babysit."
"That's great! Thank you dear. Lea knows the address so she could give it to you, and we'll be out from noon till half past eight. Please do hurry up!"
The line went dead.
My grip tightened so badly on the phone that I feared I might break it. Lea, seeing the way my face changed drastically, disappeared under her sheets.
"Now Roxanne, don't lash out on her," Jet said sternly, playing the protective role as the boyfriend. "She's sick enough as it is."
"How the heck am I supposed to baby-sit a kid for seven hours?! I can't even take care of her for half an hour without going insane!"
"Roxanne, c'mon," Jet said, giving me the whole 'be-a-little-sympathetic' face. Taking a deep breath to try and calm myself, I sat down on the edge of her heavily contaminated bed. Lea peeked out from below and said in a tiny voice, "You're not going to yell at me?"
"I will when you get better," I grumbled. "Now before I go, can you please tell me which kid I'm baby-sitting and if there's anything I should know such as allergies or whatnot."
"Okay…well, don't freak out alright?"
"More than she already has?" Jet joked which earned him a deathly glare.
"There's nothing you really need to know about her allergies and stuff, she's completely okay in that way. But make sure you let her nap at around a quarter past two or she'll get cranky."
"Her being…"
Lea cringed. "Melanie."

Amsterdam is a city of water and there are many spots to go outdoor swimming in Amsterdam. In the North, the IJ-water behind Central Station is clean enough for a refreshing dive. Take a ferry to the North first and dive in. The Amstel river is also good for a swim. And around the artificial island or IJburg, a large suburb east of the city, there are several artificial beaches where you can swim. Otherwise to go outdoor swimming in Amsterdam, head to the recreational lakes of Sloterplas in the West or Gaasperplas in Amsterdam South-East. If you are really desperate for some feet dipping: try the ponds at Museum Square or, why not, in front of the Americain Hotel at Leidseplein.
Outdoor swimming in kids' pools & fountains
There are many children's swimming pools in Amsterdam. The closest on in the centre is Vondelpark. The water is renewed every warm day. Many smalle play grounds also have been equipped with water fountains. Most recent and fun fountain for kids to play is at Haarlemmerplein and the fountains at the Rijksmuseum garden (all free to enter).
On the map below you'll find places to go outdoor swimming in Amsterdam. Also added are children's pools in Amsterdam's parks: Vondelpark, Westerpark among others.
IJburg Island
IJburg is a suburb built on an artificial island, easily reached by tram 26. In winter it can be windy and feel desolated, but in summer, when it's hot, everyone wants to live here. The reason is its many beaches, suited for swimming, tanning and even beach parties.
Hotspot is Blijburg, a wooden beach pavilion decorated with Buddhas, colourful cushions and other matching artefacts that make you feel like you're have stepped on a beach in Goa, India, instead of one of the most boring suburbs of Amsterdam.
At night, fires, candles and barbecues are lit while the dj turns up the volume. Spring, summer and fall, Blijburg organises parties and festivals. Definitely a place to pass a warm, moist and magical Amsterdam day or night.
Club Roest ('rust' in Dutch) Amsterdam is a large bar, club and city beach on Oostenburg, one of three so called Eastern Islands that held industrial shipyards, steamboat harbours and steam engine factories more than a century ago.
Festivals at Roest
In summer, the area holds a large sandy beach, a playground for grown-ups and children and lots of temporary festival-like events.
Roest captures the industrial feel of the former shipyard. It's located along the water and Roest has made sure the water is easily accessible for swimmers on hot days. For great outdoor swimming in Amsterdam, jumpo off the the spectacular leftover crane for the shipyard days.
To get to Roest, take tram 10 or 26.
At Westergasfabriek there is a large green field that fills up with barbecues and get to getogethers of Amsterdam's inhabitants.
There is also a large paddling pool for children. If you want more quiet, walk up the pool, place yourself along the water and dip your feet in while you read a book. What a way to spend a hot summer's day in Amsterdam.
Swimming in Amsterdam canals
Can you swim in the canals in Amsterdam?
Yes, you can swim in the Amsterdam canals. The Amsterdam canals used be an open sewer, but that was a long time ago. Nowadays, the water is so clean, the Amsterdam council is considering taking further steps to make the Amsterdam canals suitable for swimming. The problem is that there is a lot of garbage in the canals, especially bikes. Diving or stepping on bicycle parts can be painful. So I do not recommend it.
Are people swimming in the Amsterdam canals?
Yes, people swim in the Amsterdam canals. Every year since 1841, there is the Royal Amstel Swim. Participants swim underneath 6 historic bridges in the Amsterdam canals to promote clean water around the world. It's in September, when the water is not so cold (but still cold!). People also drown in the Amsterdam canals, but that happens mostly when they piss in the canals while drunk.
IJ waters
The IJ is the water north of Central Station. Take the ferry to NDSM and jump in at the city beach of PLLEK. Or take you bike on the ferry to the North and explore the route along the IJ -waters. From the different Islands (Java-island, KNSM-island and Zeeburg) you can easily jump in. The water is fairly clean. Kids use the bridges to jump off, thought this is dangerous because of passing ships. Combine a bike ride to the architectural interesting islands with a swim. Always be careful with passing ships and shower after swimming. Check your body for bugs!
Swimming in the river Amstel
The river Amstel river is not an official place to go swimming in Amsterdam. Just follow the river from the inner city and after about half an hour you are out of the city and you can jump into the lovely river. Be careful with diving: the water near the edges might be shallow. All along the river there are people swimming and resting in the grasslands along the Amstel. Take a bike ride and jump in when you feel overheated!
Swimming in the Amsterdam Forest
The Amsterdamse Bos is a large woodland park (we call this a 'forest'). It's the largest recreational area in Amsterdam, three times bigger than Central Park in NY and excellent for long walks and runs. Through it flows the Bosbaan, a waterway for rowing competitions. At the end you will find a museum dedicated the natural history of the park. Children will enjoy a visit to the goat farm and the pancake house. In summertime you can jump into the water. The Grote Vijver (Big pond) is perfect for swimming, especially for children. There are showers, toilets and a café. You can also rent canoes and water paddle bikes. When the sun sets, get out of there, because mosquitoes take over.
Swimming in De Nieuwe Meer
De Nieuwe meer is a large lake in the middle of the Amsterdamse Bos. It's popular for fishing and yachting. It's big enough to find your own secluded swimming spot. Maybe you'll spot a Highland cattle. Yes, you read it correctly. There are Highlands wandering around the area. And there is a gay cruising area as well. Don't worry, there is nothing to fear from either. Just keep your distance!
Recreation lakes in Amsterdam
Around Amsterdam, the Dutch have created artificial lakes for the sole purpose of recreation. Usually there are beaches or green areas, shops for snacks, toilet facilities and sometimes even life guards. Entrance is always free.
To go outdoor swimming Amsterdam, you can go to Sloterplas in the West (tram 1 takes you to the south, tram 13 to the North of the water); Gaasperplas in the South-East (easy to reach by metro) and the Ouderkerkerplas in nearby village of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel.
Safety of swimming in natural water in Amsterdam
When there is a large warm period, what we call a 'heat wave' (hittegolf), the natural open water can get poisonous. Typically you'll find a layer of 'scum', a thick dirty green and blue layer floating on top of the water. It's also is quite smelly. The so called algal blooms or blue-green algae produce some toxic bacteria and is harmful for humans and animals.
Quality of swimming water in Amsterdam
Swimming in affected waters can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, poor eye sight, head aches and skin rashes. That is why the Dutch provincial authorities check the quality of the water of the recreational lakes every 2 weeks. If these bacteria are found (it's called in Dutch blauwalg), signs are put up to warn the public. Be ware, that blue-green algae are also poisonous for dogs.

We are doing some early retirement planning and hope you can help. I am 51, my wife is 49, and we are would like to retire when I am 53. We have a house in Sydney worth about $850,000, an investment property worth about $250,000, $530,000 in cash, $500,000 in super. All our property is paid off. We are likely to inherit a nice property in a NSW seaside town. I am making the equivalent of about $170,000 a year.
We would like to travel for about four years after retirement and intend to rent out our property during this time. We can travel cheaply and intend to base ourselves in cheap countries such as Thailand.
I reckon we should be able to live on our savings until I get to 60 at about $90,000 a year, live on our super at about $75,000 a year until about 67, sell the house and move to investment or inherited property and we will have about $72,000 a year until about 83 (including part pension). Does this sound reasonable? Any traps to watch out for?
You have done extremely well to date and what you propose seems fine – just make sure that you have a good range of assets because you seem to be overweight in residential property right now. Involve a good solicitor for estate planning purposes to ensure you have current wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney in place.

BeschreibungComputerscientistscreatemodelsofaperceivedreality.ThroughAItechniques, these models aim at providing the basic support for emulating cognitive - havior such as reasoning and learning, which is one of the main goals of the AI research e?ort. Such computer models are formed through the interaction of various acquisition and inference mechanisms: perception, concept learning, conceptual clustering, hypothesis testing, probabilistic inference, etc., and are represented using di?erent paradigms tightly linked to the processes that use them. Among these paradigms let us cite: biological models (neural nets, genetic programming), logic-based models (?rst-order logic, modal logic, rule-based s- tems), virtual reality models (object systems, agent systems), probabilistic m- els(Bayesiannets,fuzzylogic),linguisticmodels(conceptualdependencygraphs, language-based representations), etc. OneofthestrengthsoftheConceptualGraph(CG)theoryisitsversatilityin terms of the representation paradigms under which it falls. It can be viewed and therefore used, under di?erent representation paradigms, which makes it a p- ular choice for a wealth of applications. Its full coupling with di?erent cognitive processes lead to the opening of the ?eld toward related research communities such as the Description Logic, Formal Concept Analysis, and Computational Linguistic communities. We now see more and more research results from one community enrich the other, laying the foundations of common philosophical grounds from which a successful synergy can emerge.
