I'm Katy from San Diego, California.
Before I turned the BIG 30, I was in search for something… anything that was different from the mundane life and job I had at home.
I hit a subtle wall… but a wall nevertheless.
Having worked in odd jobs here and there, I wanted to make a major change.
So I quit my jobs and headed to South America!
Brazil had always been on my radar and I am so incredibly thankful that I chose her as my first stop. Brazil opened me up, made me vulnerable and taught me the life lessons I needed to learn along my journey.
And some of the best lessons and fun came from my time at Carnaval in Rio…
Interview About Carnaval in Rio…
How did you first hear about Carnaval and what made you decide to go?
It was more my fascination with Brazil that led me to the famous Carnaval. I have always wanted to go to Brazil and in particular Rio de Janeiro.
Several times in the last five years my friends and I would talk/fantasize about going to Carnaval.
It never would go any further than talk, until I finally decided a year ago that I wanted to actually go and stop talking about it!
It was a present to myself for my 30th birthday!
Can you briefly explain the Carnaval events?
To experience Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, you simply have to walk out your front door and it surrounds you. If you are in the city there is no way you cannot experience it, it's in the air! I say that to set the stage for the different ways you can experience Carnaval. You can spend a lot of money or very little, but either way you cannot escape the spirit!
First there are the Blocos, which are basically THE CRAZIEST block parties that you have ever experienced. They're all over the city and there's even an App that you can download to tell you where and when they are happening. They go on all hours of the day and night. Blocos are where many of the locals celebrate Carnaval. Very fun, very packed with people, and filled with constant singing and drinking. Always a good time, you will not be disappointed!
Then there are the more formal events, such as the balls and private parties. They cost a pretty penny and are mainly for tourist, but fun to experience regardless.
And last, but certainly not least, is the Samba Parade at the Sambodromo. This is where Carnaval comes to life in full color and dance. It is what they show on television each year and if you are wowed by the spectacle on TV, it is even more mind blowing in person!
How did you research Carnaval? Any specific websites or blogs that are good resources?
I started my research with the Lonely Planet, South America on a Shoestring which gave me this website www.rio-carnival.net.
It was the most helpful website I found and tells you all you need to know about Carnaval; the highlights, places to stay, how to get around; literally everything.
It is also one of the only, as I was told by several locals, trustworthy places to purchase the Samba parade ticket, and they provide transport to and from the parade, which I highly recommend. I emailed them with loads of questions and they were quick to respond and very helpful.
What did you wear and what advice can you give women about what to wear?
I heard about Brazilian fashion before I went, so I definitely did not want walk around with the typical travel wear you see on many travelers.
I packed light, but very stylish clothes.
Alex at www.travelfashiongirl.com helped me out tremendously!
- Sandals are a must in Rio, everyone wears them!
- Bring shorts, dresses and pants that are light and airy. Trust me it is HOT and HUMID.
- Wear clothes that are breathable and stay away from wearing black during the day.
Culturally speaking there is no need to cover up.
Brazilian women are very confident in their bodies, but it is not like they are walking around the city naked. So you can fit in with pretty much any type of clothing, just keep it stylish and don't be afraid of color.
Beaches are a different story… the less, the better. So don't be shy!
Did you face any challenges being a woman? If so, what challenges did you face and what would you do to avoid them?
The only challenge I faced was being blonde and blue eyed. I got more attention walking down the street, but that was about it.
Rio is a very diverse city, so you will see every color of hair, skin, and eyes you can imagine. It was probably the only place during my travels in South America that I felt like I fit in without automatically being pegged as a foreigner. That is if I didn't open my mouth and start speaking.
I would say though that lone women travelers just need to be aware of their surroundings on a constant basis and be smart.
Act like you would in any big city around the world and you will be fine.
Did you face any language barriers?
Yes! Portuguese is a difficult language even for those that speak Spanish.
Spanish and Portuguese, while they share some similar words, are not the same by any means. The way words are pronounced and even the way sentences are spoken are completely different.
My advice… practice Portuguese before you go, especially words for food. It will help you navigate the menu and make a good first impression if you speak in their native tongue.
I did run into some English speakers, but don't count on your English to get you very far.
Where did you sleep and what where the accommodations like?
Carnaval is expensive… I am talking three, four, even five times the regular prices you'd find during off season.
So be prepared to spend some money if you are going to Brazil during Carnaval.
When I was trying to find accommodation, hotels and hostels were offering package deals with maximum stay of four or five nights.
- Hostels were at regular hotel prices and that was for shared dorm rooms.
- Hotel prices were skyrocketed into the thousands.
So I ended up booking accommodations through airbnb.com to cut down on expenses. It took some time and patience and I started early–in October.
Make sure you book accommodations well in advance for the best prices and location.
I stayed in two different locations, Santa Teresa and Copacabana, during my time in Rio, with two very amazing hosts! I rented a single room out of their home. It was like staying in a hotel but with the guidance of a local host. I really enjoyed it and while it wasn't the crazy party life of a hostel, it allowed me to escape every so often to get some peace and quiet.
Plus it gave me three new lifelong friends in Rio!
What did you eat? Any traditional foods you'd recommend?
I loved the fruit, coffee, and meat.
Brazilian BBQ is a must for meat lovers!
Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world so they know how to make a good cup of coffee.
The fruit is the most amazing you will ever taste. Every place you go, you can order fresh fruit juice. My favorite was mango!
But I would say the one food item I was most addicted to was Acai. It is the most delicious thing you will ever taste. It is refreshing and healthy for you. Acai is a berry from the Brazilian Amazon. Basically they make a slushy/smoothie type mixture which you can drink or eat with a spoon. Often times it comes with granola and sometimes banana and honey.
What advice or tips can you give women considering going to Carnaval?
- Get ready to have the time of your life!
- Be prepared not to sleep, in fact, you will not want to sleep for fear of missing out!
- Be forewarned… someone might try to kiss you at the Blocos. For some reason this is a big part of it, especially if you are a foreign woman. So watch out for moving lips!
- Take Samba dance lessons. I love to dance and it is a major part of Brazilian culture so it helped me understand the culture much more. For every night club you go to, to every Bloco you attend, Samba music will be blasted from the speakers, sung/yelled out from the crowd and danced in the street! Helio Ricardo offers dance classes as well as a class and night out at one of the hottest Samba clubs in Rio. Here is his website, riosambadancer.com. Plus he speaks English, Spanish, and of course Portuguese fluently!
What was your biggest culture shock in Brazil?
When I told people that I was going to Brazil, the first thing out of their mouth was, "Be careful, it's so dangerous!"
In fact, I was told this so many times that it made me really consider not going at all.
If I had listened to people, some who had never even been to Brazil themselves, I would have missed out on the most amazing culture shock of all – the Brazilian people! I was overwhelmed by their culture of acceptance and generosity!
It was something I fell in love with from the moment I was touched by it, and something I will never forget.
Any other thoughts or advice for our women readers?
If you are already subscribing to Darcie's newsletter and frequent Trekity.com as much as I do, then you have a traveling spirit!
Something, however, that always made me step outside my door into my next adventure was fear.
I know this is a strange thing to say especially since fear always has a negative connotation. But it was fear of not experiencing life that has made me take leaps into the unknown.
I guess you could look at it as courage, for fear is a feeling that oftentimes leads you to be courageous.
I remember watching the movie We Bought a Zoo before I left on my journey down to South America. Matt Damon's character Benjamin Mee put it in perspective for me by saying…
"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it."
And something great did come of it!

Fatigue Reliability of Components Containing Microstructural Flawsby A. Brückner-Foit, Univ of Karlsruhe, Germany,
H. Jäckels, Univ of Karlsruhe, Germany,
H. Lahodny, Univ of Karlsruhe, Germany,
D. Munz, Univ of Karlsruhe, Germany,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Structural Safety and Reliability
A probabilistic crack growth model is presented in which the different stages of crack growth including the small crack regime are taken into account. The microstructural parameter determining the scatter of the crack velocity is in the grain size. This probabilistic crack growth model can be used to determine the lifetime distribution of high strength components subjected to fatigue loading. A verification procedure for the model is sketched in which the results of Monte Carlo simulations are compared with experimental data obtained from low cycle fatigue tests of smooth specimens.

Author | Puneet Bedi Bahri | Friday, Dec 05,2008 7:06 AM
With the relentless coverage of the Mumbai terror attacks still continuing on news channels, the Information & Broadcasting Ministry has stepped in to issue an advisory on December 3, 2008, to all news and current affair TV channels to desist from repeatedly showing the attack footage.
The advisory comes close on the heels of the I&B Ministry summoning the news media owners along with the Indian Broadcasting Federation (IBF) and News Broadcasting Association (NBA) Chiefs on November 28 to express concern over the coverage of the Mumbai terror attacks by the national news channels.
The coverage was seen harmful enough for the police to black out news channels during the day. An order, sent by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, said that the "transmission of various clippings/ live relay/ coverage of the actions being taken by the police against the terrorists in South Mumbai is causing impediment in the police action… thereby, endangering the lives of the police personnel as also of the hostages."
The I&B Ministry in its advisory dated December 3, 2008, states: "Repeated visuals and stories pertaining to the attack, which would make the perpetrators feel their attack was a success, should be avoided. The media is hereby advised to play the positive role it has in its power to play to instill confidence in the citizens and send a message to the inimical terrorist forces that India is not in disarray."
The advisory goes on to warn: "The media is also advised that continued unbalanced reporting, which inhabits the restoration of normalcy and propagates a feeling of insecurity, may be treated as coverage against the interest of the nation in the circumstances and attract appropriate action as per rules and as per the terms and conditions of the permission granted for uplinking and downlinking of TV channels in India."
Reacting to the advisory, Jawahar Goel, President, IBF, said, "I will try and tell the channels to abide by what the Government is saying, unless there is something that is mandatory to show in national interest."
Meanwhile, the NBA will be giving a collective response to this advisory on behalf of all the channels.

2009 Keystone Classic Final Brackets w/Results
2009 Keystone Classic Team Scores
PHILADELPHIA - Penn defended its home turf well at the 2009 Keystone Classic, claiming championships in four weight classes en route to a fourth-place finish as a team.
All four of the champions were first-time Keystone winners for the Red and Blue. Zack Kemmerer (141 lbs.), Gabriel Burak (165), Scott Giffin (174) and Micah Burak (197) all went home with the big trophy in their weight class, giving Penn the most individual champions of the nine schools participating in the event.
Liberty University was team champion with 128.0 points. American was second with 110.5 and Appalachian State was third with 103.5. The Quakers had 101.5 points to finish in fourth.
Micah Burak lived up to his billing as top seed at 197 pounds, pinning second-seed John Barone of Boston University at 3:41. Burak was ahead 2-1 at the time of the fall, which came about when he took Barone down to his back.
Kemmerer claimed Penn's first title with a 5-4 win over American's Jordan Lipp at 141 pounds. The top seed at the weight, Kemmerer got on the board first with a takedown 1:29 into the bout. He shot in on the left leg, lifted it up on the shelf and finished off the two points with a sweep of the right leg. Lipp escaped shortly after to bring the bout to the second period, 2-1. In the second period, Lipp escaped quickly to even the bout. In the third period, Kemmerer retook the lead with an escape, but his second stall call of the match gave Lipp the tying point. Kemmerer would take the lead on a single-to-double shot with 33 seconds left and after Lipp escaped, Kemmerer would hold on after Lipp's last-ditch effort was ruled to have only connected after the buzzer.
Gabriel Burak added to Penn's trophy case at 165 pounds with a 6-5 win via riding time. Burak and Chard Porter of Liberty each had chances early in the match, but it was Porter who scored first at 1:09. Burak worked his way out at 1:23 to go to the second down by a point. In the middle period, Burak went neutral and took his first lead of the bout off a takedown at 3:41. The two men then traded reversals, with Porter flipping the tide at 4:06 and Burak reclaiming the lead at 4:15. In the third period, Porter tied with an escape at 6:07, but Burak's 1:53 of riding time was the difference.
Giffin entered the tournament as the #2 seed and downed the top seed, Austin Trotman of Appalachian State, in the final by a 7-2 margin. Giffin was in control most of the bout, rolling through a tie-up on the mat at 1:50 to get on the board first. Trotman evened the bout at 3:25 with a takedown of his own, but Giffin got out 10 seconds later to take a 3-2 lead. In the third, Giffin escaped quickly and then added another acrobatic takedown at 5:25 - again rolling through his opponent for the two. Riding time in favor if the junior from New Jersey brought about the 7-2 decision.
Bryan Ortenzio was also in the finals for Penn at 133 pounds, but was downed by Appalachian State's Frank Celorrio via fall at 2:52. Ortenzio was actually the aggressor on the sequence which led to the fall, shooting first, but Cellorio's counter brought Ortenzio to his back and he couldn't recover.
At 125 pounds, American's Jasen Borshoff rode the top seed to the title, downing Princeton freshman Garrett Frey, 5-3. Borshoff tied the match in the third period at 2-2 with an escape and added a takedown at 5:28. Frey escaped with 30 seconds left, but riding time added on for the two-point win.
At 149 pounds, Liberty's Frank Gayeski won from the three-seed, defeating #1 Brent Jorge of Duke, 9-3. After a scoreless first period, Gayeski put up three points in the second with an escape and a single-leg to the left side at 4:28. He added three more takedowns in the final period for the convincing win.
Steve Fittery of American captured the 157-pound crown in addition to tournament Most Outstanding Wrestler honors. His 18-5 major decision over Liberty's Shaun Smith was his third bonus-point match of the day to go with two tech falls. Fittery opened up his offensive repertoire early, jumping out to a 10-2 lead entering the third.
At 184 pounds, American's Michael Cannon captured his fourth Keystone Classic championship. He also had three wins with bonus points on the day with a fall and two majors. He defeated Brown's #6 Bran Crudden in the final, 9-0.
At heavyweight, Konrad Dudziak was too much for the field. The #1 ranked big guy in the country, he downed American's Blake Herrin, 8-1, in the championship bout. Dudziak scored early and took a 2-1 lead into the second period. He was patient throughout the match, waiting for his moment and added three more takedowns en route to the win.
Other place winners for Penn were Corey Beaver, who finished in fourth place at 184 with a 3-2 record, and freshman Troy Hernandez who came in fifth with a 3-2 record. He advanced to the semifinals before bowing out of the championship bracket at the hands of Jorge.

Coffee Hour Toffee Bars
Recipe by Roxygirl in Colorado
My friend Kathy (great baker) gave me this recipe and I've made it for coffee hour for years. I love the touch of cinnamon and the bars are just the right thickness. My holiday baking would not be complete without these!
Top Review by Bobtail
These are very good! I prepared the recipe as directed. I was concerned that the dough was a little dry as I was preparing this, but it did press into my dish just fine. The texture was a bit crispy with a little bit of chewiness to it! I liked the flavor. It is a mild cinnamon flavor, just right for a snack with a glass of milk, coffee hour or a dessert! The chocolate gives it just the right amount of sweetness! Thanks Roxygirl!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review by Darkside721
"Harry Potter fails in his first term at Hogwarts. . ."
My Review of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. . .
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is an action/adventure game w/ some platforming elements. It was developed by Argonaut and published by Electronic Arts in 2001. It is the first game in the Harry Potter game series, and is based on the 1st Harry Potter book by J.K. Rowling (also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) and the movie (which holds the same title as the game and book).
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was made in 2001, however, many games made during that time, as well as before it, have much, much better graphics than anything Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone seems to be even capable of dreaming of. First of all, there is no CG cinema. Argonaut decided on having the story progress through means of a picture book (the gamer is presented w/ the turning pages of a story book, no doubt trying to tie in w/ its book origins). When you are not presented w/ the turning pages of the dreaded book, then you are presented w/ animations and scenes done w/ the real-time engine (which is really bad, and I'll tell you why next). So, there are no spectacular CG scenes to watch. . .but what about the graphics in the game? One word may describe the in-game graphics: outdated. Much of what is done in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone appears to have been done years before it. The backdrops for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone are horribly done. For the most part they are pretty much bland textures pasted in the background. However, I did notice (while I was in the air in the Quiddich arena) that the 'forest' surrounding the Quiddich arena was solid green!!! They didn't even bother to use a forest texture for the background there!!! However, I cannot complain about the storm that I also saw raging the background of that very same area (I found the storm quite cool to look at; yea, I'm a dork). The environments in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone seem to just have been pasted on there. There is no real depth to your surroundings, which becomes sorely noticeable in areas such as the forest where you would expect for trees and leaves to pop out at you. . .but they don't. The environments were a total disappointment. . .well, except for in Gringotts bank. I liked the Gringotts bank environment (so they were almost a total disappointment). Anyways, on to the characters. . .horrible. Harry Potter was one of the best looking ones. . .and he only looked like an average character in a 1999 PSX game!!! It seems that the designers paid more attention to your enemies then to the other character 'allies' in the game. The character 'allies' were horrible from Ron w/ his wobbly head and non-existent neck to the ghosts and their blockiness to Hagrid and his just plain horrible ugliness. However, I found the knights (an enemy) to look okay. So, to sum it up, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone has outdated graphics w/ no CG cinemas (or any real movies for that matter) to refresh you from the ugliness of the game.
Total Graphics Rating: 3/10 (bad)
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's music was. . .absent for the most part. During the majority of your travels your ears will be presented with musical silence. When the music is present, it is entirely too soft and you will have to strain to hear it (or just turn the TV volume up. . .whichever). Like Tomb Raider, the gamer will be presented w/ music at certain important occasions. . .but the combination of the softness of the music as well as the overall unpleasant quality of the music will leave you wondering why they even included any music at all!!! At other times, when the music is present (and you are straining to hear it) you will find that the music is nothing special. In fact, you might as well turn on your fav CD b/c chances are, you will not like the music and, add to that the fact that you have to consciously pay attention to it to notice that it is there, and you will find yourself wondering what the developers were thinking. However, not all is lost. I found the 30 sec musical piece whenever you won the prize from the password paintings to be wonderful. I also liked the title song alright. . .unfortunately that is not enough. So, I give Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone a 3/10 (bad) for music.
Sound FX
Ahhh. . .I would have to say that this is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's best category. It is not that the game sound FX are anything real special. . .they are all average and will not thrill you at all. However, I found the voiceovers to be right on. Many people complain about the voiceovers being 'cheesy British' accents. . .but that is what Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is all about (just watch the movie if you don't believe me). I was honestly impressed and enthralled by almost all of the character's voices (Hagrid's in particular). There were some 'iffy' voices in there (such as Professor Quirrell's. . .who's voice was quite annoying), but that is okay as the other great voices more then made up for them. Also, some people complained about hearing Harry say the spell's name every time he had to cast it. . .but that is how it is done in the book, so (in order to properly follow the novel) it is really necessary for him to. Overall, I give Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone a 7.5/10 (good) for sound FX.
Total Sound Rating: 5/10 (mediocre)
Noooo!!! Easily the worst part of the game (and that is saying something). It is hard to imagine how they could take a great storyline (from the book and movie) and totally mess it up. For those of you that have seen the movie or read the book (or both) you will be able to follow the story. . .but you will also wonder why they messed it up so badly. For those of you who haven't had anything to do w/ Harry Potter before the game. . .you probably won't have a good grasp of what is going on. One of the reasons why the story is so horrendous is the lack of character development. You never really get attached to Harry or any of the other characters. You also never really get to dislike any of the antagonists (such as Draco and Snape). Not only that, but you never really see the relationship between Harry, Hermione, and Ron develop. You are simply introduced to those characters, and afterward they guide you along or provide you w/ information. . .but never do you really get the sense of a strong relationship between them. Another reason why the story is so bad is the amazing amount of content that they left out. Most of the important events are in the game. . .but they are usually either altered, shortened, or just plain misrepresented. Smaller events are just plain left out for the most part. Overall, I was totally disappointed in the storyline. Having read the book and seen the movie, I knew what was going on (I'm not sure that anyone who has not read the book or seen the movie could clearly understand what was happening), but they also made me realize how much Argonaut totally butchered the Harry Potter storyline.
Total Storyline Rating: 1.5/10 (abysmal)
Hmmm. . .I will start w/ the Quiddich controls. Many, many people complain about the horrible Quiddich controls. I will tell you that they are not that bad. The default controls are not good at all (with up meaning up and down meaning down). . .but what many of those people don't realize is that you can change the controls to the reverse setting (up means down and down means up). . .those controls are not that bad at all. I just found them a little too sensitive. . .but other then that I thought they were fine. Now for the regular game controls. . .not good. Harry himself seemed to be quite responsive when it came to running around. . .but when you got to a targeting situation or a jumping situation. . .that is where it all falls apart. First the jumping. . .in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Harry automatically jumps. . .much like the Zelda system on the N64. However, this Zelda jumping system was done to take the focus away from platforming and put more focus on the action. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, however, seems to focus on platforming in several parts of the game. Frankly, the auto jump system does not work in this game and great decreases the enjoyment value that it has. Not only does it take jumping out of your hands for the most part. . .but sometimes the jumping is quite shaky and unresponsive, causing you to fall into a pit or into bubbling lava or whatnot. Now the targeting, basically the targeting is shaky. It isn't too bad w/ only one enemy on the screen, but when there were several enemies on the screen, I found the targeting frustrating as I tried to make it lock-on to the certain enemy that I wanted to fire at. Overall, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone gets a 4.5/10 (poor) for controls.
I felt as if the challenge was totally unbalanced. I am not a younger gamer. . .I am actually quite experienced. Seeing as how this game was intended for a younger audience I was not surprised for the lack in difficulty (actually for most of the game I feel as if a younger gamer will have no problems w/ it). For most of the game I found myself running through everything w/ relative ease. In fact, everything was so easy that I was actually quite bored w/ playing the game. The puzzles were easy, the enemies were easy, the game was easy. That was until I hit Gringotts Bank. There was the most enjoyable and fustrating part of the game. Until then I could have done everything half asleep. However, when trying to collect coins (and jewels if you are trying for the Wizard's Cards) I found it both challenging and enjoyable. This was a complete turnaround from the rest of the game. In this section, I feel as if an experienced gamer would actually have to make several runs through the mines in order to collect everything (I am especially referring to the hidden jewels). This was totally out of the box for everything that came before and after this part. So, for the unbalanced challenge in the game I give Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone a 4/10 (poor) for challenge.
Play Time
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was an extremely short game. On my first run through I spent about 6 hrs. completing it and collecting everything. On my second run I was down to 4 hrs. If the numbers don't speak for themselves, then I don't know what will. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone gets a 3.5/10 (bad) for play time.
Hogwarts/Lvl Design
Hogwarts is supposed to be a magical castle where anything and everything can happen. There are supposed to be several hidden passageways and secrets to be found. The corridors and painting are supposed to be alive and are supposed to change quite often. The Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. . .fails to illustrate the magical world of Hogwarts. . .instead the game just seems to address it. There is no changing of passageways or paintings. . .but that is understandable as if they included this, the gamer may get easily lost. There are some odd happenings in the castle (such as animated suits of armor and floating objects), they just seem to be cosmetic. . .not actually awe inspiring. There are hidden areas in the game and passwords to be found out to access some of these areas. But they don't really seem to be 'magical'. . .rather they were just put there to reward the gamer for finding them out (such as secret areas in Doom and other games). Also, there were not nearly as many hidden areas as one would expect from Hogwarts. I feel as if the platforming sections in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone should have been redone or taken out. The control scheme just really takes the fun and sense out of any platforming sections in the game. There is also no real sense of freedom. Gamers will find themselves following a set, linear path, instead of wondering around a magically mysterious castle. The bosses in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone are just ridiculously easy and provide no real challenge for the gamer. The various mini-games are tedious (for the most part. . .there are a few that are fun). Quiddich. . .should just have been left out, they did a horrible representation of Quiddich. There is no sense of the team. You don't have to actually search out the snitch. . .just chase it. The bludgers just seem to wonder aimlessly around. . .not actually chase you. It is just not fun. Overall, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone gets a 3.5/10 (bad) for Hogwarts/lvl design.
Total Gameplay Rating: 3.5/10 (bad)
Fun Factor
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was not extremely fun to play. The prevalent errors in its gameplay and storyline just prevent you from ever really getting into the game. There were spots where it was kind of fun to play. . .but most of the time I found myself just going through the motions. I was just running through the game to end it and complete it and get it behind me. There is no multi-player. . .so there you will also be alone in your boredom as well.
Total Fun Factor Rating: 3/10 (bad)
Replay Value
The only reason why someone would want to play through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone again would be if they missed something. But everything is not hidden in an extremely hard place to find, so it is quite likely that you will find everything on your first run through. Once you access Quiddich in the main game, you can play in a separate, 6-match tournament. . .but seeing as how Quiddich is boring I don't know why you would (or why I did for that matter). Overall, there is no reason to play this game more then once, as you will probably not like it and find everything on your first run through (if not then your second).
Replay Value: Extremely Low
I recommend Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to nobody. I think that everyone should stay away from this game. . .as there are much better games out there. However, if you are not deterred, then I suggest that you be a young Harry Potter maniac. This way the game may not be so dreadfully easy for you. Also, you will be able to fully understand what in going on in the game.
Recommendation: Stay Away!!!
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was not a good game. It was not very fun. It has no replay value. It does not have good controls. It made Quiddich a chore. Most importantly, it butchered the original storyline. Simply put, more time should have been spent on it (it is obvious that they rushed the game as there is a room in the game which is impossible to use. . .among other glitches). One of the only good things about the game is that there are several mini-games. Unfortunately, most of these are easy and/or tedious. The voiceovers are classic though. Easily the best part about the game, the voiceovers are quite nice.
Overall Rating: 3/10 (bad)

UPM's stakeholder engagement with local communities is founded on decades of close co-operation. In many cases the community has grown around UPM's operations over the years. In forestry-related issues, UPM's key stakeholders are forest owners, employees, investors, suppliers, local communities, non-governmental organisations, research organisations, governments, regulators and the media.
UPM is present locally both as a major forest owner and as a purchaser of wood. Stakeholder consultation is integrated into daily forest management practices. Especially, when planning wood harvesting in sensitive areas e.g. near settlements, it is important to assess the impacts on harvesting before planning operations. Moreover, both PEFC™ and FSC® forest certification standards necessitate true stakeholder engagement and consultation.
Most of the wood is sourced from private forests. UPM offers versatile forest services for local forest owners.
Local environmental organisations perform hands-on conservation work at a grassroots level. The long-term target is to create a new working culture locally, by sharing the same environmental interests.
The "everyman's right" refers to the right of everyone in Finland to hike and to pick berries and mushrooms on land regardless of who owns it. You don't need the landowner's permission, but of course, you are not allowed to damage the environment or disturb others. We are used to saying in Finland: The Finnish forests are open daily!
UPM participates in The Forests Dialogue (TFD), which is a civil society-driven, multi-stakeholder dialogue platform that aims to forge relationships and spur collaborative action on the highest priority issues facing the world's forests. The goal of TFD is to reduce conflict among stakeholders over the use and protection of vital forest resources. The founders of TFD are the World Bank, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the World Resources Institute and the WWF.
UPM is one of the participants in WWF's New Generation Plantations (NGP) platform. The NGP platform is a place for sharing knowledge about good plantation practices and learning from experience, through events such as study tours, workshops and conferences. While plantations can be controversial, the NGP concept suggests that well-managed plantations in the right places can take pressure off natural forests, work in harmony with natural ecosystems and improve the welfare of local communities.
UPM has signed the UN Business and Biodiversity Initiative, and UPM has been active member of the Biodiversity in Good Company Initiative. UPM's biodiversity programme and development projects have been presented in UN conferences governed by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. Read more from the latest progress report.
UPM is looking for active dialogue and partnerships with non-governmental organisations: partners include WWF International, IUCN, BirdLife Finland, Aves Uruguay, Vida Silvestre, The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation, and The Osprey Foundation.
The Roihu 2016 Finnjamboree is the largest youth event in Finland. Roihu collects together over 17,000 campers in the forests of Evo, near the town of Hämeenlinna, on July 20-28. About 3,000 of the participants arrive from abroad. The cooperation between UPM and The Guides and Scouts of Finland, which began last year, takes many forms at Roihu.
In the recently released MobiMetsä game, players get to explore how to use wood raw material and run a company in a completely new way. The mobile game produced by the Guides and Scouts of Finland and UPM is developed by an experienced Finnish company, NordicEdu, which specialises in educational games.

Group Claims Military Needs Atheist Chaplains
The president of American Atheists David Silverman says the U.S. military needs atheist chaplains.
Silverman acknowledges the claim may sound contradictory, but he insists atheist troops need chaplains they can turn to for counseling and moral support.
Silverman was raised Jewish but said he decided God did not exist at a young age.
Atheist groups have been pushing for the appointment of one of their own to the ranks of the chaplaincy. They hope to give voice to what they say is a large, and largely underground, population of non-believers in the military.
Atheists hope to be recognized officially by the military, which would mean they could raise money and meet on military bases, distribute literature, and advertise their events.
But many chaplains remain skeptical of atheists and humanist groups. They question whether these groups can qualify as a faith groups, a requirement for a chaplain candidate.
Chaplains also wonder if an atheists could provide support to religious troops of all faiths, a fundamental responsibility for any chaplain.
In an interview with The New York Times in April, Jason Torpy, a former Army captain who is president of the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, said humanist chaplains would do everything religious chaplains do, including counsel troops and help them follow their faiths.
But just as a Protestant chaplain would not preside over a Catholic service, a humanist might not lead a religious ceremony, though he might help organize it.
"Humanism fills the same role for atheists that Christianity does for Christians and Judaism does for Jews," Torpy said. "It answers questions of ultimate concern; it directs our values."
Currently, there are more than 3,000 chaplains in the U.S. military. The vast majority are Christians, a few are Jewish or Muslim, one is a Buddhist and another a Hindu. A Wiccan may also join their ranks soon.

We often freeze our game so that we are able to supply seasonal meat all year round.
Typically we thaw the meat for one to two days (depending on the weight/size of the product) in a 2ºC environment (for cutting and/or packing) prior to dispatch to you. Our customers often ask if they can freeze our meat again once it has defrosted. As our supply chain is so short and our meat is fully traceable, micro lab testing has confirmed that you can refreeze defrosted products with no adverse effect to the meat or food safety issues.
We are happy to send meat to you frozen if you prefer and you can specify that your order is dispatched frozen at the checkout. We use insulated boxes that provide fridge-like conditions, however there might be some slight thawing on the outside of the product during the 24 hour delivery period.

There have been some recent changes to EU privacy laws - a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has invalidated the existing Safe Harbor Framework, which allowed the transfer of data between the EU and the U.S. This means that Shopify have had to implement a temporary message in the checkout to highlight that the data will be transferred to data centres in the US for processing.
The security of the data has not been changed and privacy policies remain valid. The U.S. and EU have indicated that they are close to agreeing on a replacement for the Safe Harbor Framework, which will be known as the "EU-US Privacy Shield" and once this has been agreed there will be no further requirement for this message.

BERKELEY – After another round of brinkmanship, a rancorous US Congress passed a last-minute bill to avert the bankruptcy of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), the primary source of federal funding for America's highway and transit infrastructure. The HTF finances about $50 billion of infrastructure spending a year, and its bankruptcy would have forced state and local governments to shelve thousands of projects, threatening tens of thousands of construction jobs.
The new legislation provides a temporary $11 billion fix that will postpone the HTF's bankruptcy for about ten months. Through fiscal gimmickry, the bill's funding costs are pushed beyond the arbitrary ten-year budget window behind which Congress hides to signal its fiscal responsibility. But there is nothing fiscally responsible about this legislation.
Investment in public infrastructure in the US has plunged to less than 2% of GDP, its lowest level since the federal government started tracking these data in 1992. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gives a grade of D+ to infrastructure in the United States, reflecting both delayed maintenance and underinvestment. An estimated one out of every nine US bridges is structurally deficient, and 42% of urban roads are congested, costing the economy an estimated $101 billion a year in wasted time and fuel consumption. Deficient and deteriorating transit systems impose another $90 billion in annual economic costs.
The ASCE calculates that the US needs about $1.7 trillion of investment in surface-transportation infrastructure through 2020 to achieve a passing grade. It projects an investment shortfall of about 50% based on current funding levels.

NFL owners approved the union's proposal. The only two owners to vote against the proposal were Ralph C. Wilson Jr., of the Buffalo Bills and Mike Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills owners voted against it. Each NFL team will have a $102 million salary cap in 2006, which will increases to $109 million in 2007. The deal will last through the 2011 season.
Nine teams put together the deal, including the high-revenue New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys. The deal will prevent many NFL teams from cutting scores of veteran players to stay below the salary cap.

Superfund Site: WARWICK LANDFILL
Superfund Site Profile
The Warwick Landfill site is located in Warwick, New York. The site is a 19-acre unlined landfill. In the mid-1950s, the Town of Warwick leased the property from the Penaluna family and used the area as a refuse disposal area. Evidence indicates that there were some hazardous materials disposed of at the landfill during this period. The Town of Warwick operated the landfill until 1977, at which time the owner leased it to Grace Disposal and Leasing, Ltd. In 1979, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) sampled leachate seeping from the site and detected volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals and phenols. New York State subsequently issued a restraining order and closed the landfill. Following investigations, the site's remedy was put in place. After cleanup, EPA took the site off the Superfund program's National Priorities List in July 2001.

Pictures: Looking for the lost front porch of Colonial Williamsburg's Raleigh Tavern
Despite initial skepticism about their prospects, archaeologists probing in front of Colonial Williamsburg's famous Raleigh Tavern have uncovered crucial evidence regarding the dimensions of an 18th-century porch omitted when the building was reconstructed in the early 1930s. Their finds are playing an important part in the effort of CW architectural historians to come up with a design for a reconstruction scheduled to be completed in 2017. -- Mark St. John Erickson

I've been playing for a few days now but I'm at a lost as to how I go about continuing to level past rank 20. A friend and I ranked up by doing behest but now that doesn't seem like an optimal method since behest is on a 1 hour cooldown. I'm assuming that we are supposed to get into parties like was done in FFXI. How do I make myself known that I'm looking for a group or how do I find others? Is there any information on camps by level range?
Thank you for your time.

the decision of two games isn't rated any differently in a shortened season or regular 82 game, Pierre Lebrun said it him self on TSN.
so if you're happy with a two game suspension solely due to the shortened season and you think it would have been 4 or 5 if it was last year, you shouldn't be.
I am happy Hall got something, two is fair for a league that hates to suspend players for any lenght of time but I don't see this being anything but positive for EDM. It's a wake up call for a team that has been brutal - stagnant. Now is the time for RNH to actually hit the net (like Clutter
) and Yakupov to show his worth... Hopefully they continue to suck, which they should because their schedule doesn't get any easier in the coming weeks
Wild win the next 3 we can finally get back into a nice playoff push for the 4-5 seed. I do not want to land in the 6/7/8 area. 8 appears to be a guaranteed lose right now unless the Hawks get injured. ANA is playing well, but I can see them sliding slowly towards the end and Vancouver, is well... Vancouver

Las Vegas: Day for Night
By William Murray; William Murray's most recent novel is ''The Getaway Blues'' (Bantam).
Published: October 21, 1990
EVER PLAYED CHICKEN-IN-THE-POT? NO? Tell you how it's done. You pay the man a dollar and he hands you a mallet with which you hit a spring that catapults a plucked rubber chicken toward a turntable of slowly revolving empty kettles. You get three tries and win a prize of a stuffed doll if you can get the chicken into the pot. Sound like fun? Some people think it is. These two middle-aged couples I ran across a few weeks ago at Circus Circus, a huge pink-and-white box of a casino on the Strip in Las Vegas, Nev., that features circus performers and carnival attractions, were thoroughly enjoying themselves. ''We was here last night and he hit three in a row,'' one of the women informed me, as her husband brought the mallet crashing down and propelled another bird into the air. She held up the latest prize her group had won, a small stuffed bear, and laughed. ''We're havin' a hell of a time.''
I told this story to a friend of mine named Howard Schwartz, who runs the Gamblers Book Club, a well-established local enterprise specializing in publications in and out of print on gambling and sports, and he said, ''Circus Circus is what the U.S. would have been like if Naples had won the war.'' I assumed he meant chaotic. ''Sure,'' he added, ''and fun.''
This seems to be the point about Las Vegas that most of its detractors miss. I have a number of serious-minded friends, mostly in the East, who can't understand why I like the place. They point to what they consider its hideous architecture, its commitment to an orgiastic misuse of neon, as evidence of an unredeemable vulgarity, and its reliance on gambling for its major source of revenue as proof of its basic immorality, especially because of the industry's well-documented past criminal connections. To them, Las Vegas, with its attitude of hedonistic self-indulgence, stands as a symbol of much that is wrong with the country, as if persuading suckers to shove quarters into a slot machine were as detrimental to the public weal as promoting the sale of junk bonds. Las Vegas may be difficult to defend on esthetic and narrowly moralistic grounds, but for me it's mostly a question of taste. Evil here is only sin deep.
Las Vegas is an open city in a country in which many of the pleasures offered to visitors, such as gambling and nude dancing, are considered crimes. That's one reason so many people flock to it with relief. The place has never pretended to be anything but what it is - a playground where the American middle class can indulge its fantasies, without having to risk breaking the law. And when a hood named Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel opened the Flamingo in 1946, the third big casino hotel to appear on the main highway to Los Angeles that soon became better known as the Strip, his presence on the scene provided a largely spurious sense of wickedness to the raucous goings-on. The respectable citizens at the gaming tables and in the showrooms and lounges had the added thrill of feeling that they had become players in a piquantly naughty drama starring the sort of gangsters glamorized in Hollywood movies. Siegel became a founding father; his arrival on the scene, during the boom years of the late 1940's, really put the city on the national map and began to shift the center of the action away from the downtown area's aptly nicknamed Glitter Gulch, the few blocks along Fremont Street lined by such older casinos as the Golden Nugget and Binion's Horseshoe, to the Strip, where most of the big hotels and newer resorts are now located.
The first time I spent the night in Las Vegas was in the late spring of 1966, when I was driving across the country with my two daughters, then aged 10 and 6, while moving from New York to California. We checked into the Flamingo, after a hard day of driving, and I still remember the thrill of feeling that I was actually staying in an underworld palazzo. From my window I could look out on the famous Champagne Tower, ablaze in neon bubbles and crowned by its famous pink-and-black sign. After I had put the girls to bed, I explained to them that Daddy was about to make a descent into the lobby for an hour or two to play a few harmless games of chance. As I opened the door to leave, Julia, my left-handed 6-year-old, sleepily suggested that I use only that particular hand. I went downstairs, wedged myself into a crowd around an active craps table and followed her instructions. I began by making five passes and couldn't lose for winning. Four and a half hours later, I tottered back to my room $1,400 richer, my cross-country trip paid for. It's the sort of small miracle Las Vegas can provide and tends to make converts out of those of us who believe in luck as a crucial element in human affairs.
Las Vegas can become addictive, and over the years I've developed a strategy for coping with it. I try always to have a specific, preferably working reason for being here, and I limit my stays to no more than two or three days. This technique has worked out well, enabling me to indulge in the sybaritic pleasures the town provides while feeling that I haven't compromised myself as a supposedly responsible chronicler of events. The truth is, of course, that I'd probably keep coming anyway, because I so thoroughly enjoy myself every time.

Establishes a framework spanning the wide spectrum of perception, signal transduction, events and transport processes, including cell proliferation and cell cycle regulation, embryogenesis and flowering.
'The book is an excellent overview of the many kinds of singalling processes in plants. It is of high interest to established plant scientists and also to graduate students, and will stimulate new research to further reveal the remaining secrets in the signalling pathways of plants. The book can be recommended to all plant biologists and should be present in the book shelves of general libraries and plant biology institutions. Many plant physiologists will find it useful to possess a personal copy.'
