What do they do about the character? This wasn't a goodbye to Cory, it was a goodbye to Finn.
Well, yes, but if you're going to use the word, learn how to spell it.
I think it was both. While watching the episode, I kept thinking they were going to show flashbacks of him during pivotal moments from the show. About halfway through, it suddenly dawned on me that they made a deliberate decision for the episode to be more about the actors saying goodbye than the audience. I'm cool with that. It wasn't just a character dying, it was their friend. I'm sure filming those scenes was very cathartic for them.
I wondered (and then realized) the same thing.
The scene with Burt and Finn's mom had me sobbing.
"After your child dies, you are still a parent...you're just a parent without a child..."
God, that was emotional!
Crap. It is business and standard practices. Glee understood them. He didn't. This kind of thing happens everyday.
And I meant he is stamping his feet. Them co opting the name of Glee. Yup. He is a great man.
Btw, my facts came from his website.
And "this kid" gets a send off on HIS show. Hardly the same scale because he wasn't the legend that Michael Jackson or Elvis were.
What are you both talking about?
A great many injustices happen everyday. Just because Glee's brand of plagiarism is a standard business practice, that doesn't mean their victims should just silently take it dry.
"Co-opting the name of Glee", wow... that's some high comedy right there. I picture you holding your wrist to your forehead as you say that.
He sold his song as a cover of Baby Got Back with an arrangement that was in the same style as the one on Glee (which just so happened to be his original arrangement, but hey, that's just a standard business practice, right?), and advertised it as such.
What he did was perfectly legal too. By your stated standards, you should have no problem with that. And in any case, the fact that you do is largely unimportant as yours is the vastly minority view: his "cover" of the Glee version ("It's a cover of Glee's cover of my cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot's song, which is to say it's EXACTLY THE SAME as my original version.") absolutely crushed Glee's version on the iTunes charts.
And all the proceeds from the sales of that single (minus itunes fees and royalties to Sir Mix-a-Lot) went to charity.
So your sarcasm notwithstanding, he's certainly a better man than most.
Well then, you'll have to link to the page on his website where he supports you claim that "he violated the copyright agreement on [Baby Got Back] when he did the arrangement", because either you are reading his words wrong, or... well... actually, there's really no other explanation, since that's a patently false statement.
As for the show, just because what you do may be legal, that doesn't mean you can't be a dick for doing it. What Glee did was a dick move.
Personally, I don't feel the need to patronize dicks. What you choose to do with your free time is your business.
When the show featured the Sir Mix-A-Lot song "Baby Got Back," last season I believe, they used an arrangement of the song that internet recording artist Jonathan Coulton composed and recorded. Coulton only found out when the Glee recording of the track hit iTunes.
Not that you're taking a side...
Music rights (and cover songs) confuse the hell out of me. I thought this was Sir-Mix-A-Lot.
Ryan Murphy said that most of what you see on screen were first takes because the cast and crew were too emotional to do a second.
The lyrics are Sir-Mix-A-Lot's. The music and arrangement are Coulton's (but by virtue of certain wrinkles of copyright law governing covers, Coulton doesn't actually own the rights to his own music and arrangement in that song).
So while they (maybe*) did nothing wrong from a legal standpoint, they passed off the original arrangement of the song as their own, or at the very least, without giving due credit to the composer.
*I say "maybe" because there's a strong argument to be made that not only did they plagiarize the arrangement, but they might have simply used JC's original recording as well, instead of having their own musicians just rerecord "in the style of". If they in fact did that, then they would have done something illegal.
Couple that with the fact that JC rather abruptly went completely mum on the matter, leads me to believe that Glee's producers came to a legal settlement with him.
With music, could I record an album of a bunch of cover songs, and as long as I don't take writing credits, could I sell it?
Is this why with the early Guitar Hero songs they used cover versions for most songs?
You'll owe royalties to whoever owns the rights to the song, but otherwise yes.
Furthermore, the person who owns the rights to the song can't actually stop you from putting out a cover version; all they can do is collect the royalty.
(And they can't "backdoor veto" your cover by charging an exorbitant royalty either, the royalties for just audio-only covers are based on a scale determined by the copyright office. The artist has no say in that instance.)
More or less, yes. Not using the original recording means that there's one less type of royalty to pay.
Yes. You would obtain a type of license called a compulsory license, then as long as you just want to re-record their song, don't change the lyrics or the fundamental nature of the song, and you acknowledge their ownership of the song, you're OK.
What does the fundamental nature mean? Some of the covers are vastly different.
Hayseed Dixie comes to mind.
On a related note, parodies are fair game right? I know Weird Al seeks permission, but he doesn't need to correct?
parody and satire is covered under fair-use.
Music licensing is complicated, messy and quite lucrative. Groups like ASCAP and BMI act similar to the mob doing things like going to restaurants and demanding licensing fees. There's a story out there about a guy named Richard Phillips who was playing his own original music in a restaurant and BMI still demanded licensing fees on it. It's a messed up business.
It's a racket for sure - my music industry survey class in college could have been renamed: "**** the RIAA and **** BMI, too"
I actually switched schools and majors after that class because I didn't want to be a part of it.

Cortijo Tinto 2009
Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain
Winemaker's Notes
Cortijo Tinto shows terrific array of cherry and black raspberry aromas with earth notes before a surprisingly rich, full wine with loads of savory fruit and a long, pure finish.
The fresh, pure character of this wine makes this an extremely versatile wine to pair with food. Without the rotund weight of oak aging, this wine pairs well with white meats like pork and chicken and flaky fish like hake, cod or flounder. This has the fruit and acidity to match with red meats, as well.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Bright red fruits and flowers on the nose, along with deeper notes of black tea and licorice. Silky in texture, with good mineral spine to the spicy red- and blackcurrant flavors. A bitter cherry note comes up with air and carries through the spicy, gripping finish. Most Spanish wines at this price are all about exuberant fruit but not this one; in fact, it's rare to find this sort of texture and structure for under $20. "
Cortijo Winery
Cortijo Tinto is a bright, fresh red wine produced by David Sampedro in the Rioja DOCa. Rioja is Spain's most prestigious region and for younger or neophyte wine drinkers who want to learn more about this magical, storybook wine region, its grapes and its wines, there's no better an introduction than Cortijo Tinto. Cortijo means 'cottage' or 'shack,' a reference by the emerging young winemaker David Sampedro that his shack makes better wine than most high-flown Chateaux in Rioja. David improves the quality of his wines by doing better work in his vineyards, the place where the grapes come from. David says, "If you want to make better wine, harvest better grapes." Rather than build a chateau or a beautiful tasting room, he'd rather pay to take care of the only meaningful ingredient, the grapes. Beginning with the 2009 vintage, Cortijo is made with estate grapes. The goal is to show a naked, unadorned expression of Tempranillo and Garnacha from Rioja Alta with no interference of oak. Cortijo is a sort of "non-profit organization" for David as opposed to most of his other wines, which are super-premium cuvées that collectors kill for. Cortijo is David's way of introducing people to great wine from Rioja at a value price. View all Cortijo Wines
About RiojaView a map of Rioja wineries (ree-OH-hah) Spain makes some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world. Once the only DOCa (recently joined by Priorat in 2001), Rioja is divided into 3 sub-regions: Rioja Baja, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa. There are 4 red varieties and 3 white varieties allowed in the Rioja DOC. Tempranillo definitely takes center stage, followed by Garnacha (Grenache), which is sometimes added for body, then Graciano and Mazuelo (Carignan). The region also makes roses. For whites, the main grape is Viura (or Macebo), producing fresh, early-drinking wines. Malvasia, the grape that was once the most planted white, is found less often.
Notable FactsThe Rioja wine trade is somewhat confusing. Grapes are typically brought to a merchant's bodega from one of the 20,000+ growers in the region, or via a cooperative. The wine is then bottled and labelled by that bodega. Rioja's Consejo Regulador keeps track of all vineyards and bodegas to make sure they are following the DOCa regulations. Put in place to ensure quality, the system also controls prices.
As with the rest of Spain, the wine label may state Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, depending on barrel & bottle maturation. Crianzas are usually found within two years of the vintage and offer fresh, ripe wines. Reserva and Gran Reserva will be found a few years after the vintage, as the bodega will be aging the wines in barrel and bottle before release. Both typically show more secondary characteristics of spice and oak ageing.
About Spain
The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino and Verdejo. The popular red regions of Spain include Rioja, known for its outstanding wines of the Tempranillo grape; Ribera del Duero, producing high quality reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha; Galacia, with the sub-region of Rias Baixas, home to the deliciously crisp and floral Albarino grape; and Priorat, a region increasing in popularity with its high-quality cult reds. Other regions of note are Rueda, growing the Verdejo grape, La Mancha, a wide desert region, covered in the most planted white variety in the world, Airen, and Jumilla, making wines based on Monastrell (Mourvedre).
Spain's wine laws are based on the Denominacion de Origen (DO) classification system, devised in the 1930's. A four tiered system, the most basic level is Vina de Mesa (table wine) followed by Vino de la Tierra (country wine), DO and at the top DOC. Currently, only Rioja and Priorat have DOC status, while over 65 DO's scatter the country.
Most DO regions are classified and regulated by how long they age the wines. On a red wine label, one may find the terms Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva, denoting the wine's barrel and bottle time. Crianza is usually two years between barrel and bottle (the time in each depends on the DO and/or the winemaker), Reserva up to 4 years and Gran Reserva 5 – 6 years. Classifications of each region and wine are controlled by the region's Consejo Regulador.

Alternative Schools Accountability Model - CalEdFactsThis content is part of California Department of Education's information and media guide about education in the State of California. For similar information on other topics, visit the full CalEdFacts.
The Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) was developed following the passage of the 1999 Public Schools Accountability Act (PSAA), (California Education Code Section 52052 [h]), which required that by July 1, 2000, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the approval of the State Board of Education (SBE), "shall develop an alternative accountability system for schools under the jurisdiction of a county board of education or a county superintendent of schools, community day schools . . . and alternative schools serving high-risk pupils, including continuation high schools and opportunity schools."
Participation in the ASAM is voluntary. ASAM schools include community day schools, continuation schools, county community schools, county court schools, Division of Juvenile Justice (formerly California Youth Authority) schools, opportunity schools, and alternative schools of choice and charter schools that meet SBE criteria.
Approximately 1,000 schools participate in the ASAM with an estimated enrollment of approximately 115,000 students. Because these schools serve highly mobile student populations, the actual number of students served by these 1,000 schools is more than twice the census day enrollment count.
In July 2000, the SBE approved the framework for the alternative accountability system developed by the PSAA Advisory Committee. Based on that framework, the resulting ASAM included SBE-approved performance measures that assessed a school's ability to serve high-risk students. From 2001–02 to 2008–09, schools participating in the ASAM selected three of fifteen indicators, and those three indicators comprised their school-level ASAM report. The ASAM school-level reports were publicly posted each year on the CDE DataQuest Web page.
Due to budget constraints beginning in 2009–10, ASAM schools are now held accountable under the Academic Performance Index (API) and receive growth targets as all other schools. However, ASAM schools do not receive API ranks. ASAM schools are no longer required to collect and report data to the California Department of Education on ASAM performance measures as required in previous years.
Under federal requirements, ASAM schools must meet the same Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) criteria as all other schools. As for all schools, ASAM schools may be identified for Program Improvement (PI) if the school misses AYP for two consecutive years.
For more information regarding the ASAM, contact the ASAM Team by phone at
916-319-0869 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Additional information is available on the CDE ASAM Web page.

Green Point Auto Parts (GAP) was established in March 1981, in a 6000 square foot barn formally a slaughterhouse, with approximately four acres of land. By 1984, GAP had 4-5 employees and a comfortable sales volume.
In late 1983, a 10-acre site in the same zone across the street was acquired for expansion. After a three-year battle with the city and an abutting owner, Green Point Auto Parts won Superior and Law Court decision and was given DEP approval for the site. GAP, now with its 12 employees, moved into a new 17,000 square foot building in April 1987, and sales jumped by 150%.
In 1988, Green Point Auto Parts won the Auto Recyclers of America (ARA) National Beautification Award for the 8-14 employees' category. ATA also featured GAP in a national article, "You Can Beat City Hall." Growth continued through 1993 to 14 employees and sales volume again doubled.
In 1993, Green Point Auto Parts was purchasing approximately 400 vehicles per year; with all saleable parts removed and stored in a warehouse. New protocols were established, that are still used to this day. Parts were, and are still to this day, entered into a computerized inventory system for easy classification . Gas tanks are removed and gas is stored in an approved gas buggy until employees use it. Oil and transmission fluid are removed and burned in an EPA approved waste oil furnace. All vehicle delivery is done by independent towing services. Less than 5% of total sales are scrap, the rest is sold as reusable parts.
On January 1, 1994, Green Point Auto Parts received a new 5 year Auto Recyclers License in place of the old "junkyard" license.
By the end of 1998, GAP had attained its sales goal for the year, and by 1999 the number of cars dismantled increased to 800.
As of January 2006, Green Point has 18 full time employees and our growth continues, with expected revenues quadrupling what they were just 15 years ago.

I am a serious Harry Potter fan who, according to one friend, "needs rehab." I like canon-compliant stories and pairings, especially Romione, which is probably evident from my stories.
You will notice I don't use British spellings. I strive to accurately portray British culture in my fics and have my characters (and JK's) behaving in culturally appropriate ways. But spelling and punctuation are tools of the writer, and I'm an American writer. I would feel incredibly pretentious using British spellings.
Oh, I like this pairing a lot. I've never considered that the timing would be about right, age-wise, because I always think of her as being older, and unfortunately, he died young. As sad as this is, I think it very believable that even relationships as serious as this one were made casualties of the war.I like your inclusion of the McKinnons death here. I so often see that portrayed as a couple, Marlene and husband, maybe children. But like you, I imagine it her parents and siblings. Nice connection there with both Poppy and Fabian to bring home the impact of that grief. I have no crit. :) My favorite part was the beginning, the language you used to describe the moment of his proposal, how she held up her hand and that halo of light... I could see it all so vividly. Lovely writing. ~Lori
Hello there. :) I'm so glad I didn't remember what pairing you'd chosen, as I probably would not have read this. Haha. But I'm so glad I did because it is just so clever and fun! You captured her tone beautifully and handled the language with such ease.Really nice writing! I liked it! ~Lori
As Ron arrived at Shell Cottage, he soon came to realise that the things that drove him away were not nearly as important as that which made him want to go back.
You know I love this, but it bears repeating. Your Ron is love, and I really think the bit you added after "save going back" is just wonderful. You've captured this moment brilliantly.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked it. It was remarkably easy to write, oddly enough. :D
Thanks for the visit/review. *hugs*
Dude, that was a bit too close for comfort. I was seriously afraid you were going to go way A/U and let James die for her. (You have to admit, you put him through a lot--haha!) I was so relieved to found a happy ending in all that angst. Love the Marauders, and even loved Snape in this. I think you handled him just right.Happy 100th fic! Well done!
I'm enjoying this Gina... just read the first three chapters at once when I really should be sleeping. Hehe. I liked your description of Voldy here, with the hair... I seem to remember references to his progression into a snakelike form as being gradual, so we really don't know what he would have looked like back then. I like that you chose to mix it up. Excellent characterization and action as usual. :) Looking forward to the next chapter....
Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading this, Lori!! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed it, as I'm starting to see that darker James/Lily stories don't always go over as well as the fluffier ones I write. But I had to do a J/L for my 100th. :) Thanks for the compliment on the action, it took me a while to work out. The characters are like old friends, though. I hope you enjoy the rest! Thanks again! ~Gina :)
All that matters is the face you show to the world.
Hard-faced, but in love.
What's a girl to do?
This is LollyLovesick of Hufflepuff submitting my entry for Rosmerta's Mini-Gauntlet being held in The Three Broomsticks over at the MNFF beta boards.Nominated for Best General Story in the 2012 Quicksilver Quills. Thank you!
This fic is very well written. I think one of the hardest things is to take a character who is almost wholly unlikable in canon, and write a fic of some length from their perspective. Because you've got to be true to all the negative stuff we have in canon, and yet, to keep a reader interest, there's got to be something relatable there, something to make the reader care enough to keep on with the story. You have certainly succeeded with that difficult task here. Pansy is such a little b**** here, claiming the bed and marking Draco as the one whose arm she will reside on, and just the whole ringleader act. But you give us glimpses of the tragedy at home, of her mum's advice to her, of her growing feelings for Draco in spite of her desire to not let him in. Very compelling character you've built up in her, and I was hooked throughout.I loved the section dealing with 6th year Draco, and the scene in the common room. We know how distraught he is, so there is some sympathy there, but the way he manipulates her... only to desert her... it's tragic in that it only confirms the things her mother has been telling her for years. I felt awful for her in that moment, because she was telling him the truth, and then he used her. But she was a user, too, wasn't she? I'm glad she didn't go through with the plot for revenge. It was evil to be sure, but I'm glad she took her way out when it came along. My only critique would be that this section seemed a bit rushed to me, from when she left them in the cafe, to the bit with her mother. It was just abrupt or something, not sure. I almost wish we'd seen a bit of foreshadowing that she might relent in her plan, only because I was very surprised when she didn't go through with it. (Pleasantly, though.) But I truly enjoyed this glimpse into Pansy's psyche. You did a fabulous job fleshing her out, particularly in relation to Draco. Good story! ~Lori
Oh, I can't wait! You are the master plotter, aren't you? Poor Lav and Blaise in the wardrobe... how will they ever amuse themselves? Hehe.Really enjoying this, Carole... you've grown these characters up just right, and they are so much fun to read. I don't suppose I have any right to demand a quick update, do I? No? ;) Then I guess I'll just wait patiently. Well done, you.
My, my, aren't we plotty? ;) I love it. I suck at plotting ,which is why I'm so able to appreciate it in others. I love that Blaise was flashing back to a nightmare punishment--that was a nice addition to his character and his past. I will say the numbers distracted me, but perhaps I just don't remember how old Romilda is? I thought she was the same year as Harry and friends, but it seems Blaise is only 17 in this piece? Ah well, a momentary distraction.Nice use of the polyjuice potion. I suspected he was going to use it to get by the old man, but a switcheroo... very nice, and a dangerous cup of tea in play as well? You are the master plotter, my friend. Loving this!
Carole, you are the master plotter and rather evil with this cliffhanger! Methinks I should have waited until it was complete to read! Love your Seamus and all the characters from Lavender, Blue... especially your Blaise. *sigh*Can't wait to see what Romilda is up to... hurry and update, please!
Daphne Greengrass had until her twenty-first birthday to pick a husband, or her parents would choose one for her. With only months to go before the deadline, she found herself with a perfect suitor in Theodore Nott.
But when a freak pregnancy landed her in the care of cranky Healer-in-Training Michael Corner, Daphne started to realise that things she thought she knew were slowly being turned upside-down. And what she thought she knew about Michael Corner began to dissolve into something different entirely.
This story has been nominated for two 2012 Quicksilver Quill Awards: Best Non-Canon Romance and Best Post-Hogwarts Story.
This story has also been nominated for a 2013 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Post-Hogwarts Story.
Jess, I love your writing. And I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment. Well done.
Author's Response:
I'm glad you're still into the story. These characters were so fun to work with that it almost doesn't surprise me that I wrote this whole thing in like two weeks. :)
Should be an update tomorrow. <3
I love that she stood up to Michael and made him deal with the truth in the end. NIce characterization of Kingsley, too. I was a bit nervous when he was hanging out with Darius, but it all worked out very well. Nice idea to resolve the Auror thing, Jess. It's not something that was really hanging in my mind as unresolved, but it must heal so much in Michael to understand what really happened there, and hear what Flitwick and Harry had thought of him. I like getting that back story a LOT. Poor Anthony's Mom, though. Wow.So bummed this is almost over. It's been such a fun read. And as I've mentioned recently, these two have become canon for me now. Well done.
I think this chapter, more than anything, gives Daphne both the push she needed to assure her that she's doing the right thing with her life, as well as to start the healing process for Michael, who had been broken and inflicting hurt upon himself psychologically at every turn.
Funny enough, had Michael observed his own behaviour in someone else, he would've spotted the problem and the latent issues straight away, but I suppose doctors really do make the worst patients. But Michael's aunt is as sharp as he is, I believe, and I think she knew immediately that Michael needed Daphne far more than she needed him, but they still needed each other.
I don't think Kingsley was quite in office long enough to know Darius well, only that he was influential, a noted businessman, and Daphne's father. However, it didn't take long for him to pick up on the reasons why Daphne was speaking out, as well as that Darius, despite his reputation, was cold and calculating, even with his own family. Kingsley isn't a BAMF for nothing; he won't let Darius get away with it, hehe. <3 that man. I really do need to sort out who his wife is, lol.
The bit about Anthony's mother broke my heart a bit when I wrote it. There was no rightly good reason why Michael would've been rejected from the Auror department, so it would've always been something like this, some moment of weakness. But in this wrong, it set Michael on the right course and to a career so suited to his capabilities. He would've been a really good Auror, but he is a great Healer, and in a way, I think that alone would give Michael the strength to move on from this knowledge and possibly be able to see things from Mrs Goldstein's point of view.
Anyway, ramble over. I'm glad you enjoy this story so much. It was fun (if agonising) to write, and it's been a pleasure to post it here on MNFF. I really need to send swissmarg an email or something and let her know that her prompt elicited an amazing writing experience for me. ♥
Ooohhh... I knew something bad was going to happen, but I thought it was going to be a complication from the medication causing her to pass out up there. This is way better.Anxiously waiting for the next bit!
You know, I hadn't remotely considered medical complications. Considering the odds against it and Daphne's health, I knew that the Big Plot Thing would have to come from left field. Enjoy that twist. :)
Thanks for following. I don't seldom get to write things that fall into your 'yay let's read' list, so I'm glad we get to go through this together. <3
Now would you look that lovely happy ending Jess just dealt out? ;) I loved it.I'm not sure what else to say about this fic, but wanted to review since you have posted the end now. Thanks so much for this lovely story, and for characterization that you have given to these two ~ they have honestly become canon to me. And while there are many, many rarepair fics I have enjoyed reading, this is only the second one I could really say that about, after Carole's Lavender/Blaise. But it would be hard for me to accept either of these two with anyone else after this. Well done, you. :) ~ Lori
Squeeing with you over this story has honestly been one of the highlights of my year. You probably know how much it means to have someone you consider to be a friend as well as an accomplished author appreciate something you slaved over. It's a feeling of validation that makes all of this worth it.
It makes me smile most unbecomingly that Michael and Daphne have earned a place in your heart. They definitely shoe-horned their way into mine. Previously, I had both of them married off to other people and a lot different than they were in this story, but all of that is erased. And while there will never be an epic ship name for these two (GreenCorn?!), they will always have an epic story where they both learned to live and to love and to be part of something amazing.
Thank you so much for being a great reader and just a great friend in general. For a story I thought no one would bother reading, THH has received an epic welcome for a minor character fic, and it holds the honour of being the very first nomination of this year's QSQs. <3
Anyway, feel free to poke on AIM if you'd like some more back story or outtakes. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this story. I'm sad it's all over. D:
I seriously cannot stand these chapter endings... waiting is agony, even if it isn't long. This fic continues to deliver, in every way. What a great twist that both her mum and her sister support her to a degree. Considering how terribly things went with her father, I'm sure she needed to know there were still family relationships there that would survive this, somehow. I also really liked how resourceful she was, with the Disillusionment charm and getting out on the ledge, then figuring out to try the bathroom for Apparition... glad you didn't just have Michael come rescue her. ;) (Though that is probably what I would have done--lol.)I think it goes without saying that this is my favorite of all the stories I've read of yours. And its a pairing you have truly sold me on. Well done.
Muahahahaha! I have a mania for cliffhangers, I won't lie. Didn't think this was much of a cliffie, but apparently, both you and Gina vehemently disagree, lol.
I think this chapter was important for Daphne in that she started to question what was left of her old beliefs, namely those regarding her family and the relationships she had always relied on. It's hard to turn your back on the life you've known for ages, burn all those bridges, but seeing what her father really was made the choice a lot clearer for Daphne. Also, I think knowing that Astoria and their mother were capable of fending for themselves heartened her and sent her off with the knowledge that her family was still her family, even if her father was a git-faced sleazoid.
I actually had toyed with the idea of having Michael rescue her, but the idea of him actually getting into the house felt ludicrous. There is a story behind the portkey. Remind me to tell you sometime. :)
Anyway, I'm glad you are enjoying the story so much, and it will be with pride and immense pleasure that I will add 'Nominated for a 2012 Quicksilver Quill Award' to the summary. <3 you, and stay tuned.
Oh, another great chapter. :)I must admit, I wonder if Ron would really have been so upset about Harry and Ginny. I've not reread HBP in ages, but I thought Ron had just given Harry a look of shock, followed by a look that said, "Well, if you must." That, to me, is more like acceptance, even if he is surprised, which he certainly would be. I do like the scene you've written, there are some great moments there, and the chess game is FAB! Just not sure he would have needed so much talking around over the H/G kiss. Really nice read though. The second scene in this chapter is my favorite thing you've written so far. I've always believed something serious happened in Ron's head with Dumbledore's death, and it materialized there at the funeral with Hermione. Something in those weeks from him being poisoned to the funeral really grew him up. You wrote that transition beautifully, with the added bonus of having Ron thinking through that transition himself. "When did we grow up?" Loved that so much. Their conversation on the platform... just GUSHHHHH. So good! I think it would have been something like this for sure, with the awkwardness, but also the realization that they both knew there was something more there. I think so too. Their apologies for the missed gifts expressed everything, and served as the apologies they really both ought to make for their insane behavior all year. Most heartbreaking moment: "Next year, eh?" So Ron to say that, and yet, we know next Christmas is going to SUUUUUUUUCK!!! Wow, this is long and rambly, sorry. Loving this piece, is what I wanted to say. Also, I may have to skip your next installment, as I'm currently writing Hermione's arrival at the Burrow before they go get Harry. Haha! Great minds think alike, right? I don't want to be influenced by your take, as I know I will like it. So if you write that bit, I'll catch up with the next installment. Thanks for another great read. Happy writing!
Be. Still. My. Heart.Am still loving this. Favorite parts include Ron realizing thinking Hermione was born to be Prefect--that whole paragraph and the lines after are just spot on and brilliant. I also love Hermione's POV, especially when she learns of the poisoning. Ron/Hermione is my favorite, but to be honest, it's not that easy to find stuff that has such good characterization. Which is why your take on these missing moments is such a gem, and why I keep coming back for more. Great stuff--keep it coming! Lori
Oh, I really like this chapter. I think you've again captured Ron and Hermione's voices extremely well, and Lavender too for that matter. I think Hermione really is the kind of girl who would confide in her mum if pushed to do so. It's not like she is besties with any of the other girls at school.When Ginny showed up to give consolation to Hermione, I did pause at first. I'm not really a fan of fics where these two are bff's because honestly, Ginny is not that nice to Hermione in canon, especially during this time. We know Hermione was advising Ginny about Harry, and that they were good friends. But Ginny sometimes lacks empathy, so I was surprised you were going to use her in that role. But you made it work. I think it was just right that she just put a hand on Hermione's back and encouraged her to not give Ron the satisfaction of seeing how upset she was. Ginny, of course, would know a lot about this. All that to say, I think you did a really good job of letting Ginny be a friend and help, without taking her OOC. Well done! I'm looking forward to the next installment of this!
Just thought I'd let you know I'm still enjoying this. :) I can't help but notice that on many of the missing moments we have both written, we have startlingly similar takes on it. Great minds think alike, huh? Looking forward to the next installment!
Author's Response: Thanks for reading and reviewing! That's good to hear :) Haha, yeah, I remember seeing Another Horcrux Down not long after I'd finished this chapter and wondering why I even bothered. It shouldn't be too far away :)
Alex, this is perfect. Like, seriously, it's perfect. I remember this as a drabble, and it was powerful even then, but now... these two are brilliant, just brilliant, under your characterization. The description is breathtaking, Terry's confusion and love and friendship and sacrifice... just... I'm pretty much blown away by this. Amazing, amazing work. I would nominate it for a QSQ but I believe someone beat me to it.Clearly, I must troll your author page at my earliest convenience.
It's a well known fact that I know nothing of poetry. But this moved me, Carole. You captured both their spirit and their tragedy in only a few words. Well done.Congrats on the win, my friend. :)

Bocce competition held
More than 30 athletes from Armstrong and Indiana counties competed recently in the annual bocce tournament hosted by Special Olympics Pennsylvania at the White Township Recreation Complex.
Because the number of bocce athletes had doubled since last year, the event was extended and each athlete played in a team of two, competing in one game on a soil court and one game on a grass court.
Coaches Anne Simmons (Indiana County) and Holly Shoaf (Armstrong County) prepared athletes for the event by practicing for more than eight weeks in various locations on both types of courts.
Many athletes said the grass courts were more of a challenge due to added resistance but were able to adjust to the elements.
The goal of bocce is to get your team's balls closest to the pallino, a smaller ball thrown at the beginning of the game.
Volunteers from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Indiana High School assisted athletes through each game.
Special Olympics athlete and global messenger Nicole Ramer opened the tournament. Ramer speaks at various events on behalf of Special Olympics and serves on the athlete congress, a group of Special Olympic athletes from across Pennsylvania who share athletes' opinions with Special Olympics officials.
After the athletes were done playing bocce, they gathered for a picnic-style lunch served by a women's group from IUP.
During lunch, attendees learned about and recognized Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the founder of Special Olympics and Unified Sports. The event concluded with the awards ceremony in which all athletes received a medal.

Philip Bader was born in Berlin and fell in love with electronic music in 1998. He already gave his DJ-debut in 1999 at the old Tresor club. Just spinning records was not enough so he launched �Max und Moritz� with his friends. They organized quite a few parties in this constellation, the most famous one in Berlin being for sure �Karneval der Verpeilten�. Actually, their Sunday afternoon parties in the old Casino Hof called �Gelee Royal� were the beginning of the legendary �sunday after� parties in Berlin. In the end it was just the next logical step for Philip Bader to start producing his own music. And now he is only concentrating on dj-ing and producing. His production debut was a release with Perry Roden on Monika Kruse􀀁s Label Electric Avenue, followed by successful releases on Force Track, MIS Records, Stil vor Talent etc. Because he shares a studio with Heinrichs & Hirtenfellner (Subdup), he􀀁s had some really successful releases. For instance, a remix for Raze Ohara on Get Physical and �Mumba Drums� together with Sascha Braemer on Kinisch (sub label of Get Physical). Philip􀀁s productions are characterized by his deep minimalistic Berlin techno style and the really creative and smartly placed vocals � he uses his own voice quite a few times. His DJ sets are like his productions: consistently deep, playful and powerful. Philip􀀁s latest project is the label �Dantze� that he􀀁s just started with his friend Niconé.

Richter painting breaks record for living artist at N.Y. auction
By Chris Michaud
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 1968 oil painting by German artist Gerhard Richter sold for some $37 million at Sotheby's contemporary art auction on Tuesday, a new record for a work by a living artist.
The sale took in $293,587,000, at the low end of the pre-sale estimate of $284 million to $383 million, with 83 percent of the 64 lots on offer finding buyers.
It featured some big numbers with five works selling for more than $20 million. But results were uneven as offerings by such contemporary stars such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jeff Koons either underperformed or failed to sell.
Barnett Newman's "Onement VI," a vibrant blue work from 1953 being sold by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, fetched the top price - $43,845,000 including commission. It set a record for the artist, beating the high estimate of $40 million.
But it was the 81-year-old Richter's "Domplatz, Mailand (Cathedral Square, Milan)," offered by the Hyatt Hotels Corp., which broke the record already held by Richter for a work at auction by a living artist. It sold for $37,125,000, near the middle of the $30 million to $40 million estimate.
Tobias Meyer, head of Sotheby's contemporary art department who also served as auctioneer, called the price "a major accomplishment."
The work, which Sotheby's sold about 15 years ago for about $3.5 million, was bought by collector Don Bryant, founder of Napa's Bryant Family Vineyard. He pumped his fist in the air as the hammer came down with his winning bid.
"This just knocks me over," he said of the work, which depicts a cityscape rendered in a style that suggests a blurred photograph, after the sale. Continued...

Limpopo farm murder accused in court
16:11 21/08/2014
Johannesburg - Three men accused of killing a 79-year-old pensioner on a farm appeared in the Lephalale Magistrate's Court on Thursday, Limpopo police said.
The matter was postponed to 30 September for further investigations, said Colonel Ronel Otto.
The men were arrested after Koos Jonker was killed.
Jonker was found dead on his bathroom floor on 3 August, in the quarters he rented on the farm.
"His hands and feet were tied up and he had severe assault wounds on his head," Otto said at the time.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: LifeinAsia
Any wage here is easily less than half what I could have made in a larger area, and the cost of living is also much lower. The taxes are higher here, but you do get your money's worth (healthcare, etc...). Obviously, being self-employed in this situation is ideal.
In a couple years, as soon as business stabilizes, I'll be wanting to travel, likely around the world :)
I'm currently Looking at Dubai. The tax situation (none) is a dream, and it's REALLY trying hard to attrackt high-tech business.
If you don't mind some sand in the air and somewhat pricey living (well by malta standards, prolly cheap by US standards) it sounds pretty damn good.
I have a friend who lives in Jersey - No tax, and plenty of small rich businesses to design for :) - she says it's a haven for small design firms.
IMO you're best avoid England, hard life to lead with the job market so crammed with competition. I have to work 2 jobs to keep me in the manner I have become accustomed. An aquaintance advertised a webmaster/developer position in a local paper and recived over 300 CV's for 1 vacancy. That's an awful lot of out of work people/people hunting better jobs.
East Africa is relatively buoyant and is most definitely 'online' although the infrastructure for e-commerce is unstable � but from a web developers point of view it has lots of potential.
<added: 2 posts too late>
Looks like the caymans are very expensive then ;)
I'm not too worried about lack of jobs, low wages, etc, as I run some websites of my own and earn my money through advertising revenue.
I like the idea of the Cayman's as it sounds like a nice place to live. Also like the sound of Canada, as although the tax is higher, housing is cheaper.
There are also many courses around related to computers on a "Zero Fee Scheme" bases, which also offer "Student Loan".
You could easily setup a living here, without worrying about how its gonna workout.
East Africa .... is not a "tax-heaven"
I was referring to Jersey ;)
Taxes are high in east africa but the cost of living is incredibly in-expensive in comparison to the UK. I spent a number of months there in 2001 and was amazed by the changes that have been made in Uganda since Amin.
The infrastructure for the buying and selling of goods via ecommerce is a way off - the postal service is lackadaisical and some might say a little corrupt, but the IT skills that the people possess would amaze you. From a development point of view Kampala, Kisumu, Jinja or Mombasa would be excellent places to live. While travelling I also found an enormous number of places to use the internet. AOL (Africa's On Line!)
Also is there any tax breaks for individuals wishing to set up business in NZ?
What kind of broadband access do you have in NZ? Would it be possible to get this in a rural location?
Thanks for your help everyone.
>>South or North?
>>What kind of broadband access do you have in NZ? Would it be possible to get this in a rural location?
Does this mean you can get broadband in rural areas as well? I was in NZ a few years ago and there was a problem with people getting fast access and having to use expense satellite services.
I am from india and i know i can save hundreds of thousands in taxes if i live there but rather i choose America to live
While it is true we pay more taxes here, it's actually below the G7 average, and if you add the percentage of GDP we spend on taxes, it is lower than the percentage the US spends on taxes + healthcare. We're not getting such a bad deal.
Cities like Montreal are vibrant with low rent, Atlantic Canada is very laid-back, BC is great for outdoors adventures (hiking, skiing...). While our material standard of living is not quite as high as the US, we also have less crime and other perks.
That's not to say there aren't great places in the US- Oregon certainly has some appeal for me, as do the Rocky Mountains. In fact, I likely will keep Atlantic Canada as my home base, but will go travel in several countries. Kerala sounds like one of India's jewels, and Sri Lanka, New Zealand as well as Australia all seem interesting.
Maybe an interesting variation on the original question would be: "Can you recommend a place where a webmaster can visit for 1-3 months?" It would have to be a place where there is good connectivity and facilities for people working remotely, affordable and fun.
I guess that opens up the discussion a bit: if you don't have to live where you pay taxes (at least not all of them, VAT is hard to avoid in some places), "Which country is best for webmasters?" can be answered differently.

The #1 Food You Should Eat for Breakfast (Page 3)
It Has Fiber, Which Lowers Cholesterol
It's got 4 grams of fiber per cup and research suggests that increasing your intake of soluble fiber (a type of fiber found in oatmeal) by 5 to 10 grams each day could result in a 5 percent drop in "bad" LDL cholesterol. If I top it with fruit, like 1/4 cup of raspberries for example, it's not only delicious, but I also tack on an additional 2 grams of fiber. That means I'm well on my way to that extra 5 to 10 grams of fiber with just my breakfast. (More Recipes to Try: Grab & Go High-Fiber Breakfasts).

US Bank, is getting their 58,000 users upgrade to the latest Lotus Notes Domino 8.5. Moreover, this bank, who had more than 5000 siloed Sharepoint sites, is adopting Lotus Quickr and Lotus Connections software in addition to Lotus Sametime that is already in use. Working smarter together...
See details here: http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/28400.wss
"Our industry has undergone unprecedented changes over the last year,
and that serves as great example of why it's so important for U.S.
Bank's employees to be able to use technology to communicate and
collaborate efficiently," said Mark Dickelman, senior vice president,
innovation, research and development for U.S. Bank. "Keeping up with
economic developments and policy changes and the need to quickly
communicate while innovating for growth would be nearly impossible with
traditional methods, and that's why Lotus collaboration software will
continue to be incredibly useful to us, especially as we continue to
solidify our company's position as a leader in the financial services
Makes lots of sense, given the recent TCO math (see my previous blog entries) that shows a reduction in TCO by more than 37% if you adopt IBM Lotus collaboration software rather than Microsoft sharepoint, and office communications server.

CAIRO – Toppled Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak appeared in court Sunday for the first time since his release to house arrest, and a separate court adjourned a hearing of top Muslim Brotherhood leaders.
The hearings come against the backdrop of political uncertainty in the wake of the July 3 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, followed by a crackdown on his Brotherhood movement.
Security sources said that the Brotherhood defendants, including spiritual leader Mohammed Badie and two deputies, were not brought to court because police feared protesters could attack the trucks transporting them to prison.
But the judge overseeing their trial for inciting the deaths of protesters adjourned the proceedings over their absence and asked the Interior Ministry to bring them to the next hearing on Oct. 29.
Mubarak meanwhile appeared in public for the first time since he left Tora prison on Thursday after a court authorized a pretrial release.
The court adjourned his trial to Sept. 14 after creating three specialized committees to sift through a mountain of evidence.
Mubarak was convicted in June last year of complicity in the deaths of protesters and was sentenced to life in prison, but a retrial was ordered in January.

Although their brunch is delicious, I was quickly aware that I may never return with a group of people as they will not seat you until EVERY person in your party is present. They sat numerous people before us while we waited. Very annoying.
The most incredible food ths t I have ever eaten. Clean facility. Friendly staff.
is it cleaned up?
Good beer and attractive location. It can get a little hot in there, but that is the norm in a small production facility. I am predicting an updated 5 star review in the near future.
The BEST mussels anywhere on the peninsula!
It is a funky little place with local art and comfort food. Like a mom and pop but with hipster staff. Meat loaf, pork chops, and breakfast all day. Simple but good.
Great mussels mariniere. French fries are like crack. Good service. Can be very noisy on weekends, but so many restaurants are. Quiet ones are ones without people. What does that say?
I love Nirlep, but they recently raised their prices by a significant margin. The chicken korma is now $14; the lamb korma is $16. This makes me sad.
Since Revelry has not yet been rated yet, I would like to start their rating out with an enthusiastic 5 star rating! Sean, Jay and Ryan have really done well by not only providing the craft beer drinking community a great place to hang out, but also providing a great lineup of quality, great tasting beers!! Keep up the great work!!
I don't get it. Why the complaints? This is not a fine dining place. It is a wonderful classic French dinner bistro; The kind I like to drop into in Paris. We are regulars, usually eating a salad frisee with goat cheese and Moules Frites. They also are known for their Suchi (a bit of a surprise). It can get noisy around end of work, hookup time and the service can be terrible on any of the holidays due to over demand and decreased staff, but it hasn't stopped me from going. If you want elegant and pretty food, go elsewhere and pay considerably more. Here time it well and eat well.
Four of us went after a Spoleto event. Talking to those across the table turned into a shouting contest due to the noise. We will not go back for a later meal.
Have been several times for lunch and the decibel level was nowhere near as bad.
Visiting Charleston from out of state, my boyfriend and I found out about Diggity Doughnuts from researching various food blogs and magazine reviews that gave them stellar marks. We visited the shop on a Thursday about an hour and a half before they closed, it was very quiet, only us eating inside and a few others dropping in to pick up doughnuts. We ordered doughnuts and coffee with the owner who seemed very nice and down to earth. I was pleased with unique taste and flavor of the doughnuts, as was my boyfriend (someone who typically doesn't eat vegan or vegetarian food). After enjoying our doughnuts and seeing on the menu that they served a Sunday brunch in addition to their regular doughnuts we decided to stop back on Sunday to grab brunch and doughnuts to take back home to our families.
Sunday we arrived right at 11am when they opened and placed our order for 2 breakfast sandwiches and doughnuts. The woman helping us at the front desk was very nice and when we placed our order for breakfast sandwiches she told us it could be about 15 minutes and asked us if that would be okay before she put the orders through. We said that would be fine and she reassured us the doughnuts and coffee would be out shortly while we waited. We took a seat outside and the doughnuts and coffee came in about 5 minutes or less, as she told us. The doughnuts were hot, fresh and quite delicious, we were not disappointed on that front. We were talking and waiting patiently for our food when we saw the time and realized it was 30 after. At this point we were a bit annoyed but figured it had to be coming at any minute. 15 minutes later, however, we still had no sandwiches and were wondering what the hell was going on. By this time we were ready to go in and ask for a refund for our sandwiches so we could be on our way after waiting for 45 minutes. Though about this time the woman who rang us up at the front came out to apologize and tell us they hadn't forgotten us and our food would be our any minute. So we held tight, seeing as it seemed the food would be right out. 15 minutes later at noon, we still hadn't got our meals. By this point we were really quite frustrated as I would imagine most people would be after a "15 minute wait" turned into an hour, with no updates letting us know how long it would really be so that we could decide to skip it. So I walk in about to ask what's going on when the owner walks out with 2 breakfast sandwiches, so I ask her if those are for my boyfriend and I and she says "I don't know, are you sitting outside?", in an aggravated tone as if she didn't notice the 2 of us sitting outside (there were only 4 people seated outside, my boyfriend and I included, and she had been back and forth to serve the other table).
The lack of updates on the increasing wait time was extremely frustrating. However at least the woman at the front desk seemed genuinely sorry for the inconvenience, whereas the owner seemed annoyed and unapologetic. It's not like I expect people to bend over backwards when things go wrong but a genuine apology from the owner and perhaps an "is there anything I can do for you?", would have helped. Especially disappointing because it's a small business and the food is quality. I hope they can learn from this and hire more staff, get more equipment or stop serving brunch.
Rue de Jean is a Charleston classic that never disappoints. Downtown is so saturated with new and amazing restaurants that it's easy to forget the ones who have been a fixture for such a long time. We were endlessly debating on which new restaurant to visit when we decided to pick a place we haven't been in years. Rue fit that description.
Each of our courses came out tasting better than the last. The escargot, while straightforward, was delightful. The steak Roquefort was cooked to perfection, and the scallops were massive with perfect texture. The rich cream both served with the scallops was out of this world. Our server was a true professional, and the wine recommendations were spot on.
What is the point of this review? It is to remind those of us who have lived downtown for years to not forget the classics. There are so many new restaurants that have opened recently and it's easy to fall into the hype trap while overlooking the establishments that have been producing a consistent and quality product for a long time.
I've been to Park Cafe twice. Pretentious, overpriced and blah food. The restrooms are labeled "WC" like we're in England. I've had the smoked chicken salad and the honey poached turkey sandwiches. Both were fresh and well put together, but just lacking any kind of flavor punch for the price. I prefer the sandwiches at Ted's butcherblock and Sunrise bistro express.
Had a great time nice staff beautiful ladies love the drinks i seriously recommend it.
Decent pizza, although it did not dethrone D's as the best pizza in Chraleston. Fast service, our pie came out super quickly. The space inside is nice but empty as we were the only patrons in the place.
Just FYI for anyone who heard otherwise: DeSano is NOT BYOB. You cannot bring beer, only wine (???). We found this out after showing up with our own beer. So be forewarned: it's BYOW, not BYOB.
Rather expensive for the amount of food but delicious. We are here 3-4 weeks a year and delight in trying new places to eat. The Grocery was a a real find and we will be back. My wife had the swordfish entree which was wonderful. Not that hungry I tried the soft shell crab small plate which was sitting on a bed of peppers and green with a vinegary dressing. A great choice.
I doubt the editors would appreciate AIncest being mean to Ms. Lentz just for giggles. Stay classy. Folks like you are the reason nobody likes James Island.
Breathing from your mouth doesn't grant you the right to spray slobber on the lot of us. Tuck your shirt in, learn some manners and stop embarrassing your family.
"I simply put Town of James Island in the search engine and this is what came up."
Sounds like JI needs to hire someone to do some artisanal SEO for them.
I'm available. And pretty cheap.

hmmmm beta eh?
well at first i was like: wtf is this crap? but then i read its just a beta so here's a list of glitches and things to be improved:
glitches:every time i changed room all my coins dissapeared an when i got back in the last room the coins were back again.
sometimes i just flew trough a wall.
colour DEFINATLY
not just like a grey ball but make it someting more unique yano
and when u die that you don't have to start from the beginning but just like the same room or one room back(but without your coins)
add like lives to it too and power ups(jump higher, roll faster etc) and maybe some enemies.
hope this helps =D you can definatly turn this in something good
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Liked it
I liked it. The thing I liked most was the level variety (with the angled slopes and the "boss")!
Rated 4 / 5 stars
A few glitches
some parts when i turn, i lose coin, i know this is part fo the script but in one part you really need tp turn you lose all coins
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Fix glitches
There is a number of glitches in this game, while your coins can disappear and return to their spot, you can go through walls, and others that you should fix. Although I like the idea and was decently fun, this also needs some creativity and stand out from the other platform level games: like color, or making the character more unique instead of a grey ball.
yes, it's a "beta" this can be developed to something good?
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
this needs lots of work
theres no colors, the coins disappear at random and when you lose a life the music keeps overlapping. insert that musicstop command somewhere.
"beta" type thing

Top Story: The CNN Belief Blog has a story about Hinduism in America, and how some younger Hindus are trying to "forge a distinctly American Hindu identity that's more tightly woven into the national fabric.""Our parents had to build everything from scratch to make a united Hindu community in this country," said Tejas N. Dave, 17, a high school junior who volunteers with a project bringing yoga to unprivileged Americans. "Now we're trying to reintegrate it back into society," he said, "to make people realize that Hinduism is a religion and a way of life and a philosophy that's not too different from what a lot of others believe.

Re: Post Acceptance…Jill Vande Boom Nov 11, 2013 2:08 PM (in response to Joseph Ashley)
I have included Mandy Runnalls to help guide you in the right direction for admission steps, but as far as deciding if the school is right for you, you need to look at what you are looking for in a school.
A few questions would be do you want to personally know everyone in your grade and all your teachers, which would happen more at smaller schools like MSOE. Or would you rather have the larger school feeling of larger class rooms sizes and more students around campus. Another thing to decide on is will MSOE help you achieve in your major, will MSOE get you a job after you graduate. These are just a few of the ways you can make a decision. Also, location of the school, do you want to be in a city where there is always events going on, more in a rural area, or where there is nothing around you, so you can focus on school work.
The reason I chose MSOE was because I wanted to go to a small school were the teachers will get to know me personally and I can easily get to know everyone in my grade. The atmosphere is great being in a city, since Milwaukee is not a huge city, but just big enough were there is something always going on. The main reason why I chose to go to MSOE was the job placement and how most of the teachers have actual field experience in your major, so they know what you need to know for your career.
I have included other students, so you can get a few point of views and not just mine. Brian Janus Zach Crouse
Scholarship wise, there are plenty of opportunities at MSOE to get scholarships. We have a webpage that lists any scholarship the financial aid department has found. If you were to search scholarships on the www.msoe.edu page you should be able to get to the page and depending on the requirements of scholarships you could probably start filling some out not if you qualify.
I hope this helped I know it was a lot of information.
Re: Post Acceptance…Amanda Wysk Nov 11, 2013 2:11 PM (in response to Joseph Ashley)
Congrats on being accepted! On the Financial Aid side, an important deadline to note is that our priority deadline to file the FAFSA is March 15th.
As for scholarships, follow the Financial Aid Office for up to date information! Check out the Available Scholarship Opportunities folder for scholarships you can apply for even now while you're still in high school.
Re: Post Acceptance…Mandy Runnalls Nov 11, 2013 5:31 PM (in response to Joseph Ashley)
Hey Joseph!
Everyone above is absolutely correct! Like Jill said, you should definitely consider what you want in a school! If you would ever like to shadow a class or just meet some students on campus and chat with me, we can set up a visit day for you on any date that might work best for you!
We also have accepted student days which are nice for learning about more of the 'what its like to be a student on campus'. At these dates, you will get to meet with faculty!
Pretty much, whatever might help you feel comfortable, just let me know and we'll make it work
As far as deadlines, since you are eligible for that Presidential Scholarship, you will DEFINITELY want to get your essay in--I believe that is due in February (don't worry I will make sure you don't miss that deadline!).
Amanda is absolutely correct as well. You will want to get your FAFSA done prior to March 15th if possible to make that priority deadline. This is typically what can help bring in additional money. You are sitting pretty well with your current scholarships that you have received as well!
Also, like Amanda said, make sure to follow the Financial Aid Office on Bridge--she always does her Money Mondays blog where she lets you know all of the new and exciting scholarships that are out there!
phew, I know this is a lot to take in, but please don't ever hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions! I am always happy to help! If you need to call my office, my number is 414.277.2311.
Hope this helps and that you are enjoying your Senior year thus far!!
Re: Post Acceptance…Joseph Ashley Nov 12, 2013 1:27 PM (in response to Joseph Ashley)
Thanks everyone for your help! This is surely an exciting yet busy time of my life right now! I just want to make sure that I have all the information that I need to make the right decision regarding college, and that I don't miss any deadlines or opportunities presented to me! If I have anymore questions I'll be sure to ask!
Thanks again!
After being accepted to MSOE what are the next steps I should take in deciding whether MSOE is right for me? Are there any scholarships I can apply for at this time? In addition, are there any important deadlines that I should be aware of?

Breaking the chain between street address and the school a child attends–school choice–is not only moral, it works. Education Week recently ran a commentary from nine scholars who make that point. The nine, who include representatives from the American Enterprise Institute and the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, say that in 20 years we have learned a lot about how to design choice programs, as well as how well school choice works. The article's title reflects its content pretty well: "What research says about school choice."
Studies about the effects of school choice–tax credits, vouchers, charter schools, and other options–have focused on three questions: Does choice benefit students who receive vouchers, tax credits, etc.? Do choice programs have an effect on schools as a whole (that is, what about the students who don't participate)? Does it have a beneficial effect on the public purse?
The answer to the first question may be summed up as, "students who participate are not harmed, and in some cases they are helped."
The answer to the second question is similar, though the evidence for voucher programs is stronger than it is for charter schools.
As to the third question, "the net impact of school choice on public finances is usually positive and has never been found to be negative." (No surprise there; as far as I can tell, school choice programs always spend less in public money, on a per-pupil basis, than district schools.)
The authors rightly point out that our evidence on the effects of school choice are limited by the fact that school choice programs are very limited, both in size and in scope. School choice programs enroll well under 5 percent of all school-aged children. That means economies of scale or innovations that might come from a wider marketplace of education haven't been seen.
They authors add that much public debate has focused on the demand side of education–how many students and which ones participate in school choice programs. The supply side of schooling, which is trapped in red tape and a 100-year-old mindset, can't be ignored.
In short, school choice is an important part of the puzzle when it comes to "quality education," however you define it. But it's a part that, based on the evidence as well as normative reasoning, demands more attention.
* * *
The authors include a helpful list of studies on the effects of school choice. I would paste it in here, but it's much too long–a good problem to have!


text: ok so i just bought this 04 WRX from a guy in Arkansas, and the check engine light was on but he said all it was was the mass air flow sensor. so I got home and plugged it back and, and the light went off but it began to idle funny. it would be at 1000 fine and then dip down to about 800 or so and sit for a second, and then jump up to about 1200 and then dip back down again. i took it to the shop to get it registered and what not and it passed so i pulled the sensor back out, and now its idling fine again. anyone know why thats happening and is there any harm to leaving this sensor unplugged? if so how do i go about fixing it? thanks guys

Dr Audlin looked at the clock on his desk. It was twenty minutes to six. He was surprised that his patient was late, for Lord Mountdrago was always proud of his punctuality.
Dr Audlin was a psychotherapist. He could relieve certain pains by the touch of his cool, soft hand, and by talking to his patients often induce sleep in those who were suffering from sleeplessness.
And what had he not seen of human nature during the 15 years that patients had been coming to his dark room in Wimpole Street? The confessions that he heard during these years ceased to surprise him. Nothing could shock him any longer. He knew by now that men were liars, he knew how unlimited was their vanity; he knew worst things about them, but he knew that it was not for him to judge or to condemn.
It was a quarter to six. Of all the strange patients he had had, Dr Audlin could remember none stranger than Lord Mountdrago. It was an able and noble man who was appointed Secretary of Foreign Affairs when he was still under forty. He was considered the ablest politician in the Conservative Party and for a long time directed the foreign policy of his country. Lord Mountdrago had many good qualities. He had intelligence and industry. He travelled in the world and spoke several languages. He had courage, insight and determination. He was a good speaker, clear, precise and often witty. He was a tall, handsome man, a little too stout, but this gave him respectability.
At 24 he had married a girt of 18 whose father was a duke and her mother a great American heiress, so that she had both position and wealth, and by her he had two sons. For several years they had lived privately apart, but in public united, and their behaviour did not give ground for gossip. Shortly speaking, he had a great deal to make him a popular and successful figure.
He had unfortunately great defects. He was a horrible snob. He had beautiful manners when he wanted to display them, but this he did only with people he regarded as his equals. He was coldly rude to those whom he looked upon as his social inferiors. He often insulted his servants and his secretaries. He knew that he was a great deal cleverer than most of the persons he had to deal with, and never hesitated to demonstrate it to them. He felt himself born to command and was irritated with people who expected him to listen to their arguments or wished to hear the reasons for his decisions. He was extraordinarily selfish. It never occurred to him that he could do something for others. He had many enemies: he despised them. He had no friends. He was unpopular with his party; and yet his merit was so great, his patriotism so evident, his intelligence so prominent and his management of affairs so brilliant, that they had to put up with him. And sometimes he could be enchanting; you were surprised at his wide knowledge and his excellent taste. You thought him the best company in the world, you forgot that he had insulted you the day before and was quite capable of killing you the next.
Прочитайте текст. В ответе запишите цифру 1, 2, 3 или 4, соответствующую выбранному Вами варианту ответа.
Lord Mountdrago was one ... of Dr Audlin.
- of the most dangerous patients.
- of the most hopeless patients.
- of the most obedient patients.
- of the most unusual patients.

Designer-Friendly 3D Avatars Mimic The Full Range Of Human Motion
A new software from Body Labs lets fashion creators try out their pieces on 3D models.
New York-based startup Body Labs has come out with a cloud-based platform called BodyHub that converts 3D scans of actual models into virtual avatars and allows fashion designers to try on their designs on 3D models that can pose and move like real people.
According to their website the company uses the world's most advanced technology for analyzing the shape, size, and motion of the human body. With this technology, they were able to create the software that transforms 3D scans into 3D body models possessing the full range of human movement.
With the BodyHub program, clothing designers don't need to have live models come in and try on their designs before going to production. They can just use the program with design software.
The company licenses the technology from from Brown University and Germany's Max Planck Institute, and sees various potential uses for the new software aside from fashion design — equipment and product design, custom clothing design, and video game design. Consumers and not just the designers will be able to virtually try on items before purchasing them.

About Us
At the Department of Neurosurgery, one of the top-5 neurosurgical practices in the United States, the patient comes first. Our mission is to provide patients with outstanding care by the best neurosurgeons in the country and achieve excellent outcomes. As a department in one of the nation's top hospitals, and part of the 100-year-old Neurological Institute of New York we offer unparalleled expertise in a broad range of neurological conditions, access to cutting-edge research, and a patient-centered treatment philosophy.
Outstanding patient care from an exceptional, multidisciplinary team
More than 20 surgical specialists and sub-specialists, a dedicated nursing team for neurosurgery patients, labs performing cutting-edge research, and CUMC's world-class hospital facilities (including a Neuro ICU and unique amenities at our Children's Hospital), combine to deliver outstanding care, making clear communication about complicated conditions a priority so that patients and their families are equipped to make wise decisions.
Unparalleled technical expertise
The size of our department (more than 20 doctors) enables individual surgeons to focus on their diverse specialties, offering patients extraordinary technical expertise in fields as diverse as aneurysm, pediatric epilepsy, and spinal tumors. As a group, our surgeons are leaders in their fields. Many have published articles in their specialties and perform research that explores new approaches for treating neurological conditions.
Conservative treatment philosophy
We are committed to providing patients with the best, proven approaches for addressing their neurological conditions. As a professional academic practice, we are routinely engaged in clinical research that pushes the envelope. However, our treatment philosophy is essentially conservative: surgery is not always the right solution. Cutting-edge treatments may be minimally invasive or non-invasive.
Better outcomes
Studies have consistently shown that high-volume hospitals deliver better outcomes for surgical patients. The degree of specialization of our surgeons, who perform high volumes of procedures in their areas of expertise, helps secure those better outcomes. In addition, our dedicated nursing team coordinates exemplary pre-op education and post-op care, often resulting in quicker-than-expected recovery times.
A true team effort
The Department of Neurosurgery is not only one of the top practices in the United States; we are also one of the top academic programs, and the great majority of our faculty started out as students here. An advantage of our academic setting and our focus on specialized expertise is that patients are directed to the most appropriate specialist rather than the first available surgeon. We don't provide incentives for doctors to work outside their specialties; we do promote cross-discipline consultation.
When we hire new surgeons, we are choosing from the best-of-the-best. We have considerable experience with prospective additions to our group, since they have been students here, so we can easily determine how well they will fit the professional practice, and gauge their commitment to excellence and outstanding patient care. As a result, our doctors work together unusually well, and patients benefit from a true team effort.
Cutting-edge research
Our academic setting provides patients with access to the cutting-edge research being performed at multiple department labs. Patients may have the opportunity to participate in clinical studies and learn how new developments in medicine and technology may apply to their conditions.
Endowed Chairs/Professorships
Research is a large part of our mission here at the Department of Neurosurgery. This is founded on a tradition that goes back to the early days of the Neurological Institute, a hundred years ago. A number of our neurosurgeons carry on this important work today. Their research is largely funded by private donors and the creation of Endowed Chairs or Professorships.
Meet our Endowed Chairs and learn more about their namesakes here: Our Endowed Chairs
World-class hospital facilities
CUMC, part of New York Presbyterian Hospital, has long been recognized as one of the top hospitals in the U.S. For neurosurgery in particular, CUMC offers a 16-bed Neuro ICU unit, dedicated nursing staff, anesthesiologists, and radiologists, all focused on addressing the unique needs of patients with neurological conditions. At the associated, top-rated Children's Hospital, New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, young patients receive top-notch care in a compassionate environment tailored to their unique developmental and emotional needs.
