Hi there. Sadie here. :)
Edit: Whoa. I won the QQ Awards?! OH MY GOODNESS! *DIES WITH JOY* Wow! I'm honored, guys, thank you. It was flattering enough just being nominated along with so many other amazing fics. *Bows before other nominees* An extra special thank-you and chocolate kisses to everyone who nominated it, for everyone on the panel who voted for it, and for everyone who continues to support it. You guys are the absolute best readers an author could ever have. *Hugs tightly* Thanks to the MNFF mods for holding the contest and for sending me this beautiful banner as well:

I'm an English/Political Science major-- sophmore in college. I was a LOTR fan first and foremost, until four years ago when a friend of mine quite literally forced me to read Philosopher's Stone. I'm happy she did, because I can't imagine my life without my beloved Harry.
I'm a bit of a delusional shipper, as it were. Canon does and always will come first, but romance is a personal preference, so really can't be held to the "canon standard." R/Hr + H/G = the monster living under my bed that I've feared since childhood. Every H/Hr story I write is an attempt to slay that monster. ;)
To my "Fifteen Minutes" readers: I'd just like to clarify that I do not believe in suicide. I know this story portrayed it in an almost noble light, but it remains an act of cowardice and selfishness. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and if you experience suicidal thoughts, I beg that you tell someone close to you.
Story Updates:
--Avenged Sevenfold: Wow. I can't believe it's been nearly 4 months since my last update. Perhaps, in a response to a review on the upcoming Chapter 15, I'll explain myself. But for now, I'd just like to assure everyone that I'm back in action, and I'll not be leaving you guys hanging. Chapter 15 is now posted.
--Through the Fire: This story is coming along at a painfully slow pace. I do intend on finishing it, but AS is my heart's project and so TtF will be playing second fiddle until AS is complete.
--The Mourning After: This one's undergoing some major construction at the moment, so I've taken it off the site for now. It'll be back in due time.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if the urge strikes you! (My screen name is SecretKeeper87)
WHOA! You never cease to impress, do you? Where on earth did you come up with the idea behind The Breaking?! TRULY amazing, that was. It was thorough, thought-provoking, original, and best of all, it fit perfectly with the Harry Potter universe. I loved the Restricted Section scene, where McGonagall gave Harry the book. Very witty and amusing. I'm growing more fond of your characterizations every day! You've done a wonderful job in meeting your goal of keeping them In Character. Each chapter fits perfectly with the previous one. Your writing style and plot really complement each other as well. I have a feeling Dumbledore was talking about Snape there at the end. *Ponders* I could not possibly love this any more than I do! And you couldn't possibly update quick enough for my taste either, though you are doing a wonderful job with that. Still 10/10!
Author's Response: Thanks once again, love your reviews...obviously because you think my story's brilliant lol :-D but also because you tell me which bits you like. That helps a lot. Unfortunately, the reason I'm updating so quickly is partly because I already have chapters 1 to 5 written. Am starting chapter 6 shortly so it will tail off a little then, but not too much. The other reason my updates are going through so quickly is because of a fantastic moderator (thanks to Elysa!). I have a Draco/Hermione story to submit, again with the first 5 chapters written so look out for that if you're into that partnership. Thanks for your review SecretKeeper!
Oh, I'm so sorry you didn't get my first review! It was a rather long one too. Anyway, this chapter was just as- if not better- than the last. I think I've found what makes your writing so captivating: syntax. I'm a sucker for it, and you manipulate it well. There's just so much that's wonderful about your story, I don't know where to begin! You have raw talent, for starters. And that becomes more evident with each update. Also, your characterizations of ALL the characters are SPOT.ON. Brilliant work there. You obviously have a great grasp on the series. Harry sounds like Harry... Ron like Ron... Hermione like Hermione... everything. You did a particularly fantastic job with Snape, might I add. You got his dialogue and speech pattern down to a T. Your descriptions and narration is perfect. You don't drone on for hours, yet you're sure to allow for ample visuals and such. Your tone has been masterfully constructed as well. There's still that lovely and enthralling flair of mystery! I'm SO eager to know what happens! I could easily go on, but suffice it to say that- so far- this is definitely one of the best fan fics I've ever read. As always, update asap!
Author's Response: Oh gosh! I think I've been rendered speechless for only the second time lol Thank you, I'm EXTREMELY flattered by your review, especially your comments on syntax and characterisation. It was my aim to keep the characters as close to how JK Rowling wrote them as I could...what's the point otherwise? I'm chuffed that you think I've achieved this. Another chapter will be submitted today (8th). Hope you enjoy it as much!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! WOW! Amazing writing, for one thing. You really have a way with words. It's nothing I can quite place, but you're truly talented. I still stick to everything I said in my first review (which I hope you got, as it seems to have vanished). Also, I ADORE the fact that your story incorporates mystery as well. It makes it very well-rounded and realistic. All of your characters are VERY In Character, for which I could never thank you enough. The scene in Charms class was highly enjoyable and amusing! Once again, excellent writing. You really have a bit of everything in this story: Humor (Seamus' comment in Charms), Romance (seeing as how it's Hr/H), and Angsty (the ending of this chapter). WONDERFUL job. I'm so thoroughly excited about this fic now. Please update quickly! Whew... still can't get over it. Brilliant.
Author's Response: Wow! Thanks so much for your review :-) Am really happy that you enjoyed my chapter so much. Have got all the chapters up to 5 waiting to be submitted, as well as another story I'm writing so updates shouldn't take too long. Thanks again! (I didn't get your first review btw)
How could I have missed this update?! WOW! I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words. You're still doing a terrific job, and everything I've said in previous reviews applies more than ever. This chapter was particularly intense! I was on the edge of my seat as I read, which speaks volumes about your talent. I find you write dialogue very well. Not only is it realistic, but it's (once again!) IN CHARACTER. I don't think I'll ever stop commenting on that. Until, of course, you go astray... which I can't see happening. I finished this update with very mixed feelings on our beloved Potions Master. A part of me (probably the sappy Hufflepuff part) felt awful, as my heart really went out to him. I mean, his sister?! What a horrific memory for him. I can only imagine the pain he must endure. But, at the same time, he did take part in it himself. Also, his unwillingness to help Harry and spare Hermione really shows just how immature, selfish, and egotistical of a person he is. So, like I said, mixed feelings. Either way, your ability to make me feel so strongly about the subject is amazing. I'm hardly ever so drawn-in by a story, but you've got me hooked. 10/10, as always. *Impatiently waits for next chapter*
Author's Response: Many thanks again! :-) Snape, I think, is going to play an important role in this story. And I think he's going to have a much bigger part in the Harry Potter books yet to come. JK Rowling has never addressed why Snape is no longer a Death Eater... why he's now working for the Order... or why Dumbledore trusts him implicitly. I suspect that will all come out pretty soon. In the meantime, this is my version!
That was a fun little update. I'm thoroughly relieved about the explanation you offered for Harry's OOCness. It seems valid enough, and when I read it, I was literally going, "Oooooh, so that's what happened!" Also, the thought you've put into this is impressive. Too many authors delve into a fiction without any real idea as to what they're going to write, and that becomes clear after only a few chapters. However, you seem to know exactly where you're heading, in terms of plot. I like how the easiest way to reverse the effects of a Fearful Potion is "an abrupt change in, er, emotion." That was quite clever of you. Once again, I didn't spot any technical errors (punctuation, spelling, etc.) so everything flowed nicely. You're doing well with the frequency of your updates, and I hope that doesn't change, because it's a pleasure to read each one.
Wow, that was certainly a new way to open a story! To begin, I'd like to say that this fiction appears to have great potential. You have a nice writing style that combines description with flow. It's a hard task to keep the plot moving while being thorough and descriptive, but you accomplished that well. You gave enough background information/scenes for the reader to be comfortable with the setting (ie: Hermione's age, whereabouts, tone, etc.) yet you didn't rant or bore us to death. Well done!
When I first read that Harry was running from Malfoy, I became extremely skeptical about your characterizations. I thought, "But Harry doesn't run... least of all from Malfoy." I thought you'd made Harry very OOC. But then you rectified that, so to speak, and pointed out yourself that Harry would never do such a thing (unless under very odd circumstances), so I was happy to read that. I'm intrigued to learn what made him run, and what was going on.
Also, I usually dislike stories where Harry and Hermione kiss immediately. I feel that there should be a climax, and that if they're "together" in the beginning, there's really nowhere for the author to go. (Nowhere interesting, at least.) Typically, I think it's a big mistake. But once again, you've crafted this in such an original way, I don't think it'll be a problem. Because though they kissed, they're by no means "together", which leaves you plenty of room to narrate and create your climax. I'm excited to see how you plan on doing this! I'm positive you'll do well.
I like that there were several tones to this chapter. First, there was a feeling of calm and peace... but that was quickly interupted and replaced with tension and urgency. You did a terrific job with making this difficult transition. Then, at the end, you left us with a sense of mystery and wonderment, which was a wonderful device for getting us hooked!
I'm no professional, but I didn't catch any grammar, spelling, or punctuation errors! You seem to have a good grasp on the English language, which really helped make this first chapter such an enjoyable read. Kudos to you!
In all, I end on the same note with which I began: there's amazing potential here. This was a lovely first chapter. Well-written, steady plot movement, nice characterizations... everything seems in place. I'll be checking for more updates!
Author's Response: Thank you for your compliments! As to your question as to why Harry's acting a little OOC, that will be answered in the 3rd chapter. Keep reading and reviewing!
WOW. That was amazing. I- I'm not even sure what to say... well, firstly, I loved how you set it up at the beginning. Though this was only a one-shot, somehow you found a way to make it capture a lifetime, and this was far better than just about any other one-shot I've ever read. The character development was insanely rich and believable. I felt the story climaxing, as if I were apart of it myself. You did such an excellent job with keeping everything (the scene, the characters, the dialogue) accurate to Potterverse. I simply adored the scene in which Hermione and Ron argue, for innumerable reasons, but mainly because of the little flashes you granted us into the minds of Harry and Hermione. It's typical for those two to bicker like that, but you put such a unique and well-crafted twist to it that I find myself admitting I like your version much more! The agony, confusion, and doubt was all portrayed brilliantly, and mingled flawlessly with the backdrop of Love. You have a talent with words, my friend, and I have confidence that if you wanted it, and worked for it, a future in writing could be yours. I look forward to reading other stories by you, and encourage more one-shots! Great job.
Wow, what a wonderful read! I'm thoroughly surprised that only two people left reviews. This is certainly worthy of far more. First of all, your descriptions were fantastic. You really know how to string words together to create an amazing image for the reader. And the last line, about the darkness becoming only a memory, really carried a double meaning, and I loved that. It was so intense, so resonating and true to the theme of the story. Brilliant. I think my favorite part was when Harry woke up. "What are you doing?" Sounds like such a harsh question, but something I can hear him saying. And his initial reaction that Hermione was disgusted by his scares hit me really hard. I can't describe what I felt, but it was a jumble of sadness and intrigue all at once. I also liked that his scars weren't just from the War, but from Ron and Quidditch and things he loved. It sent the message that the best things in life leave marks too. Though only a one-shot, the moral(s) left me quite enthralled, and the attention to detail only rounded the story off perfectly. Personally, I'm not one for fluff, so some parts were slightly too sappy for my taste. But as is clear from my review, I still loved it, and thought you did a nice job. You have potential as a writer, and I do hope you take advantage of that. 9/10
Author's Response: I am so glad you left a review. I was beginning to despair. 800+ reads and only two reviews... I don't want to complain, but it just seems awfully off. I loved ALL your comments, even about it being a little too sappy for you. Other people have told me the same thing. A good friend went so far as to liken it to a "harlequin romance". But I don't mind the criticism, it is good to hear anything. And I love that you had any opinion at all that you felt anything, it really makes me feel good. I was so happy to see this review that I read it several times just savoring it. Once again thanks for taking the time to review and leave your opinion-- it means a lot to me!
It was full moon when the Dark Lord sealed a part of his soul within a magical amulet, and then broke it in half. One half was left to the faithful werewolves to guard. The other half was tossed into the impenetrable depths of time where no one but him could get it. When the first half has been found, the Order of the Phoenix selects Hermione Granger to go back into the past to search for the missing piece. What is waiting for her is a brutal task that will test her beyond her limits, and an undying love that extends beyond the boundaries of time.
RL/HG, Post-HBP
No werewolves were harmed in the making of this story.
Update (9 May): Chapter 17, Burning, is up! Enjoy!
Author's Response: O.O *backs away slowly*
OMFG *SPAZ* Astrid, that was-- sweet Merlin! Wow. I mean, I can't get over it!! Beautifully done! I really think this was your best chapter yet!
I've never been so intrigued by the Marauder lot in my life. You wrote them perfectly! The banter, the subtle movements, the dialogue, everything was PERFECT!! Wow, I've never seen such insight into these characters before. It's exactly how I imagined they would be. Lily was great too. She reminded me of a Mrs. Weasley/Hermione hybrid-- sassy, intelligent, thoughtful, and very motherly. Sirius trotted ahead of them, the sureness of his step showing that he knew every nook and cranny of the house by heart. <--I love that kind of attention to detail. It really makes them feel alive, as if I could just reach out my hand and touch them. Also, the hints about Peter were brilliant!! How he didn't show up, and them assuming he had a perfectly good explanation... ugh. It really tugged at my heartstrings, knowing what was going on.
Hermione's reactions to everything truly mirrored my own. Her glimpse into the past is so awkward, yet so thrilling and expertly crafted. In terms of the previous chapter, I adored her facial expressions when she realized she'd landed on young!Lupin. Absolutely priceless! The description of it all, her alarmed caution, her steadfast mentality, her ability to mask her true identity-- it all just felt so natural. Honestly, I'm not sure JKR could have done a better job with that herself. I really can't compliment this aspect enough. Even in this chapter, the dynamics between Hermione and the Marauders/Lily were fabulous! I could really feel her struggle. It was so intense, and I was so thoroughly sucked in by the writing, I felt her anguish at knowing what was to come for these people. You really summed it up with, It took all of Hermiones strength not to remind herself that the three people sitting with them would die unexpected deaths. Yeah. I grew so comfortable with this new insight into these characters, I found myself trying to forget that as well.
It really almost makes me pity Hermione, in a sense. If I were her, I'd feel so guilty for having this opportunity when it should be Harry conversing with his parents. Rational or not, that's how I'd feel. And I think you balanced Hermione's emotions beautifully. It's so difficult, because you want to express her feelings so the reader can properly grasp the enormity of the circumstances, and yet, too much and you'll over-do it. Besides characterization, that's my favorite part of your writing: the ability to balance. I felt myself in Hermione's position, and all the narration flowed without a single hitch! That's amazing! And towards the end of the chapter, when Hermione holds Harry? WHOA!! Man, did that just throw me for a ride! Holding your best friend as an infant? With his dead mother and your old Professor looking on? Wow, Astrid... I can't tell you how impressed I was by that scene. You took something so complex and difficult to convey, and made it seem easy as pie. *worships*
Now, the ending... damn. Lupin, Lupin, Lupin... you silly man. What in the bloody hell are you doing with Tonks?! <--this was my initial reaction, of course, because I'm flying the Hermione/Remus flag. But I can't tell you how glad I was to read this Tonks/Remus scene. Keeping true to canon this way makes your story ten times more believable than it already was. I LOVE that you're keeping canon relationships going, at least for now. It's such a breath of fresh air, this story. If only all authors had the same abilities...
M'dear, you never cease to amaze. I enjoyed a bit of Hermione/Remus before now, but you've really made a true fan out of me. I cannot wait for the next chapter!! I've said it before, and will continue to do so: you're a remarkable writer. The talent is staggering. Clair De Lune will surely become one of the best fan fiction stories I've ever read. Though, the one thing I'm disappointed in is the amount of reviews. *glares at other readers* They are not worthy of chapter six!! I say you not update until you've gotten five new reviews. *humpf* ...well, you can show me, of course, but no one else...
Keep up the fantastic work! *is still worshipping*
*blushes furiously* Oh Sadie, you made my day--again!! This is, by far, one of THE best reviews I have ever gotten in my life! What makes it even more special is that this comes from an author who I worship incessantly--bordering on unhealthy obsession, I think. ;)
I'm glad you liked the Remus/Tonks scene. I was literally cackling when I wrote that. It's fun writing romances that you will demolish in the end. *evil laugh that could rival Voldemort*
I love you, Sadie. *does Islamic bow*
Please excuse my mess of a "review" below. I was rather too excited for my own good. My keyboard, apparently, cannot handle my fangirlness.
This is how I know you've got true, unspoiled talent-- after so many months have passed, you can still pick up this story right where it left off without flaw. I definitely thought this was one of the best chapters so far. What I admire about your writing is how well you keep the story moving while managing to maintain solid character development. I loved James in this chapter. I could see him, hear him, feel hi-- I mean... O.O
Anyway. Yeah. *Cough* You did a fantastic job with James. I loved the imagery at the chapter's opening, too! Goodness, woman! And you compliment mine? Pfft. You're far too modest.
Finally-- the BEST PART EVR-- the end. "Hermione-- Check my father's notes." WTH?! I AM SO CONFUSED AND ANXIOUS AND WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON?? I seriously felt as if my heart would burst through my ribcage too! I must have read the last three paragraphs a dozen times. I think I've got it memorized by now.
Well done. You've reminded me why there's an enormous, brightly-lit shrine taking up the entirety of my closet.
YES! WOOT! OMG, I AM SO EXCITED I COULD FAINT! REMUS/HERMIONE LOVE, I can feel it coming! *ManiacalSiriusAfterPeterEscaped!Laughter*
This was a really great chapter in terms of development! It's exactly what was needed to bring the characters full circle. You have a knack for smooth transitions, as was evident here. You took it from the hectic war-zone scenes to endearing fatherly moments between Harry and James-- there weren't any hitches, it flowed beautifully, and felt totally natural. This sort of talent is what makes your story so believable. I never question any of your plot points or characterization because of it. I innately accept, because you make it feel real.
I LOVED the Remus/Hermione hints! *squee* You executed it so well, through making it mostly Remus' point of view. Oh man, he's so oblivious! I love it!! The dynamic is one I've never seen done in a fan fic before. It always leaves me on the edge of my seat, knowing that Hermione knows everything but Remus knows nothing.... gah! Genius. One of my favorite lines in the whole chapter was, There was a hint of understanding in her eyes that he couldnt quite place. *DIES*
...Alright, I'm calm. It's coming together very nicely Lei... everything I've said before still applies. It's the perfect blend of narration, dialogue, development... expertly crafted. I'm always SO eager for the next update, and you never, ever disappoint. <3!
Oh! My very own chapter! *Giggles Girlishly* /
And what a chapter it was! You know, I really must point out one thing in particular: Your characterization. It's just... perfect. I think half the reason I love this story so much is because I trust you. I trust that you'll write Harry and Lupin and Hermione properly. I trust that you'll balance the plot and the subtle hints. I trust that your hints will be subtle. Only two chapters in, and I completely trust you with my most beloved series. That is saying something. /
To elaborate on my point of characterization, here is a perfect example: Tell me again why we have to wait? groaned Ron, stretching his arms high above his head.
A relatively simple line, but so perfect. That could have been taken straight from the books themselves, I'm certain of it. Your innate knack for this talent is evident in every word of dialogue. You've even mastered the syntax! /
This chapter also explained a lot. We really got to learn much more about where you're heading with the plot, and I love the direction. It's so wonderfully complex and original... once again, something so well thought-out, I could swear a similar idea could be found in the books. /
And, of course, the hints! The hints! The chapter title really set the tone, I don't mind saying. You were clearly attempting to kill me with all of those oh-so-subtle romantic hints. Quick glances... knowing looks... innate feelings... yes. Definitely trying to kill me. *wink* /
So far, it's brilliant. And as annie said below, the fact that this is Remus/Hermione makes it all the more original and definitely adds to the lure. I can't wait for the next chapter, and I'm positive your other adoring fans can't either.
Author's Response:
*blushes profusely* Thank you!! :D I... uhm... oh crap, you've left me speechless! *pounces*
*Dies* You've done it. You've killed me with this chapter. The suspense is just too much! But what a wonderfully written sequence!
Your ideas on time-travel were truly innovative. I'm so happy to read a Hr/R which doesn't involve a time-turner. Not only that, but everything I've said in the past holds true. The attention to detail, the flow of the plotline-- everything remained on target, and wasn't in the least bit disappointing. My favorite bit was definitely when Lupin opened his mouth to say something but Ron (*stabs*) beat him to the punch. I don't know, it was just such a funny yet realistic bit of writing.
That ring is rather suspicious... I'm going to keep my eye on any mention of it in future chapters. It seems to me that Lupin knows what's going (or has?) happened. And considering that, in their time, Hermione'll be back within minutes/hours, I felt an underlying anxiety for the poor man. You really wrote Harry's and Ron's dialogue wonderfully, too. That's what I love about this story. Everything is so real.
As always, great work. I am on pins and needles for the next chapter my friend-- pins and needles!! *Pushes you toward computer*
Awww, thanks, Sadie! Your endless support is really, really appreciated; I don't know what I'd do without you. :)
I'm trying my best to write chapter four; Sirius and James's voices are invading my head, it's almost nauseating to hear their voices over and over again. O.O I must be going nutso.
OMG SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!! You always manage to bring out the girly side in me, Lei! I have been giggling for the last five minutes. Non-stop. Seriously-- I loved this chapter!
Firstly, the opening scene was perfect. You dove right into that little flashback, which set the tone beautifully and acted as a hint for the type of chapter it would be. And I don't mind saying, it was the best type! You accomplished so much for your story here-- the silent yet tense confrontation between Peter and Hermione was brilliantly executed [I loved the bathroom scene when she screams into the towel! Lovely touch!] as was the subtle yet steady progression of the Remus/Hermione romance. I about died when Hermione let slip that she knew of his werewolf condition! But she covered it up very well, and the end result was a beautiful, heart-grabbing moment between the two. I love that the romance is strong but not sappy. So far you've found the perfect balance, and as a fellow romance author who knows exactly how difficult that is, I bow to you. *bows low*
The detail of this story never ceases to amaze me. Every time I read an update, I'm struck by how thorough and genuine the plot is. You must have really planned this out, and it shows. Your direction is clear, your development realistic, and your personal flair for story-telling enthralling. I really can't praise this enough, it's simply got me hooked with both hands.
Oh, and I can't leave [to read this chapter again, most likely] without sharing my favorite line: He and Hermione squeezed through two groups of teenaged wizards while Hermione wondered how he knew about pole-dancing. LMAO! I laughed out loud reading this! You mentioned it there so fleetingly, as if it were nothing more than a mere sidenote in Hermione's head, which made it all the funnier. I read it over at least half a dozen times, and it gave me some very amusing visuals. ;)
In closing, I love you. LOL. That's it. That's the summary of every review: pure love. I don't know what I'd do, or even if life would be worth living without my CDL updates. ;) So keep writing, because you can bank on the fact that I'll be obsessively stalking your author page. >.>
LBD! It's me, Sadie! I've just responded to your latest review on A.S. and decided it was finally time to read some of your work. And let me say, I am so happy I did.
First of all, I am just-- honored by this dedication. *Blushes* Thank you, it's... overwhelming to have this story in my name. Secondly-- wow. I was thoroughly impressed. I anticipated it would be good, but never did I imagine how touching and moving it would be. Talk about emotion? You have it down beautifully. I love you -- Please dont, he whispered. Geeze! That one tore right at my heart strings, I don't mind telling you. Swear to me you wont die." So did that one. I admit, I was rather close to tears. And the way we're left, so unsure as to whether or not Harry dies? Painful! But in such a good, wonderful way. That is emotion. You brought all of it, the entire group dynamic, to life; and made me feel it, so intensely, in ways other writers have yet to do.
I loved how there was Harry/Hermione anxiety. The way Harry was pushing aside his feelings, but demonstrating them all at once, was expertly crafted. The slight tension, the confusion, then the resolution-- too few are incapable of combining all of that in one story, let alone one chapter. Your ability to express and exploit those things, and relay the complexity of the Harry/Hermione dynamic, is further proof of your skill.
Above anything, however, I loved your descriptions. They were clever and original, and I must say I'm a bit jealous I didn't think of some of them first! Here's an example: A strange buzzing, like that of a thousand angry bees, filled his head where his thoughts shouldve been. It's not just the wording, it's the syntax and the structure. It flows. Oh, and this part: Im not letting anything happen to the people I he tried to find words as strong as what he was feeling at this moment, looking at her, I care about, he decided lamely-- it was nowhere near the mounting sensation in his chest. Brilliant! That goes along with the emotion aspect. It was perfectly realistic and believable. Anyway, back to description: As her lips gently met his, the feelings that had been dammed up in his chest burst loose, filling him with a comfort unfathomably deep. For that moment he let go of everything- the anger, the misery, the burden of being trapped inside himself- and just felt. Wow. You see what I mean? So incredibly powerful.
There were some dialogue lines, that if I had seen them out of context, I would have loathed. But somehow, you took cliché ideas, such as "I love you more than life," and made me melt under their weight. That, my dear, is the true mark of a talented writer: someone who can take used and tired phrases/ideals, and turn them into something new and beautiful. I strongly feel you did that here, with this story.
I adore your style of writing. The descriptions, emotions, character interactions, and every little detail, I loved. I feel confident that if you put enough effort into one, you could write a spectacular full-length story. And if you ever choose to do so, know that I'll be first in line to read it.

FivePlay is a Bay Area-based band of long-time musical compatriots playing original music that nourishes both mind and heart— melodic modern jazz to be enjoyed by everyone, whether you're an experienced jazz listener or you're hearing jazz for the first time. FivePlay's members are Dave Tidball: reeds; Tony Corman: guitar; Laura Klein: piano; Paul Smith: bass; and Alan Hall: drums.
Laura Klein grew up in New York City, and studied music at SUNY Buffalo and at the Berklee College of Music. She has played and recorded her own compositions with the three-horned band Triceratops, the Laura Klein-Ted Wolff duo, and FivePlay. Laura has performed with her own trios (including the great drummers Joe Hunt and Benny Barth), many vocalists including Jenny Ferris and Ed Reed, with the Rudy Salvini Big Band, John Dankworth and the San Francisco Symphony, and many others. She freelances in the Bay Area and is Associate Professor of the Alexander Technique at the Jazz Institute in Berkeley.
Tony Corman comes from the Boston area. He graduated from the Berklee College of Music with a B.A. in saxophone performance. He appeared and recorded with Full Faith and Credit big band, the Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, Bay Area Jazz Composer's Orchestra, and Celia Malheiros. He played on, and was an arranger/composer for the recordings Triceratops, Three Tenors No Opera, and vocalist Jenny Ferris's Day In, Day Out. He switched to playing guitar in 2002, and since then has been playing with his own trio, Crotty, Corman and Phipps, and composing and arranging for big bands.
Born in Cardiff, Wales, Dave Tidball played and recorded in London with Turning Point. Upon moving to Boston, MA, he formed the group Minotaur, which featured his own compositions. Since relocating to the Bay Area, he has played and recorded with Triceratops, Three Tenors No Opera, the great vocalist Paula West, and his own trio, Threedom. Dave teaches music in the Oakland public schools and has a busy freelance playing schedule.
Alan Hall grew up in San Jose, and spent some time in Boston, playing and teaching at the Berklee College of Music. Highlights of Alan's extensive resume include performing and recording with Eddie Harris, Paul McCandless, Billy Childs, Kenny Werner, Triceratops, Rebecca Parris, Cirque de Soleil, and many others. He teaches at the JazzSchool in Berkeley, CA, and gives clinics and workshops at festivals, colleges and music stores throughout North America.
Paul Smith has been playing professionally since his teens. In 1970, he joined the acclaimed Moacir Santos group, where he met his future wife, percussionist and vocalist Sheila Smith. Paul and Sheila had a group for many years, and recorded four CD's together. Paul has performed and recorded with Mark Levine, Willie Bobo, and toured nationally with Dan Hicks.

Stetzerizer The stetzerizer surge protector that was supposed to protect us from emf's almost burned down our 2 million dollar house with my husband and 4 pets inside Rockford Illinois
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: Is this a hoax? Attempt to defame our filters?
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: Do you have the correct company???
On the evening of January 19th, I had left my husband and 4 pets at home for several hours. When I returened, he informed me that he had to call 911 because there were smoke detectors going off and couldn't identify the source. It turned out that the source was a "surge protector" that I purchased from stetzerizer approx 2 years ago. The very product that was supposed to protect out health- almost killed my family and burned down our brand new 2 million dollar home. The fire department documented the whole thing including the pictures of the blown out stetzerizer surge protector. We want EVERYONE to know that these products are dangerous - clearly in this case, life threatening. Do not waste your money( we spent $300.00 on the original set that we bought, including filters!) and more importantly do NOT risk year health by bringing these potentially deadly items into your home.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Is this a hoax? Attempt to defame our filters?
AUTHOR: Shaun from Stetzerizer-US.com - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 08, 2014POSTED: Monday, September 08, 2014
After posting the previous detailed public reply, I still have not been contacted by the person who made these allegations. My employees have not heard anything either. Nor have I heard anything about it from Dave Stetzer or any of his employees at Stetzer Electric.
I am genuinely interested in hearing about this if this is true. This is my business, and I use these products myself. I also share them with many, many people. Please, if this is true, I would like the person who made these allegations to come forward and to contact me, or respond publicly.
It is hard for me to believe this since I have never heard about it from any of my customers. I also found no record of this person making allegations ever doing business with us. So it may very well be a hoax, and hopefully anyone who reads it will also read this reply.
The Internet is waiting for the truth, and so am I. Having used and sold these filters for so many years, and sold such a high quantity, and not seeing what this user has described - I find it hard to believe. Especially since there may be people out to try to defame the Stetzerizer filters. Competition - knockoff filters - or more likely power companies continually trying to sweep the dirty electricity issue under the rug and discredit pioneers like Dave Stetzer, Dr. Samuel Milham, Dr. Magda Havas, and others.
I am interested in the truth, and am waiting for a response. If one isn't received, I would suggest that readers consider this to be a hoax to discredit dirty electricity and/or Stetzerizer filters.
#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Do you have the correct company???
AUTHOR: Shaun from Stetzerizer-US.com - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, April 27, 2014POSTED: Sunday, April 27, 2014
Dear Sam in NY, or whoever filed this complaint:
I am the owner of the company listed in this report. ElectraHealth.com and Stetzerizer-US.com are my websites and my businesses. We were formerly Nature4Less.com, but changed because I wanted to focus completely on matters of electrical health. It was after I discovered the Stetzerizer products and had my own experience and results from them that I realized what a huge issue this was and how it must be affecting everyone.
Back to the point, though. Are you sure you ordered your products through us? We are NOT the manufacturer. We are a distributor/reseller of the Stetzerizer products. We used to sell the power strips, but I could find no record of a Sam in Hamburg, NY ever having done business with us. Do you have record/proof of purcharsing through us? If not, you probably ordered them directly from the manufacturer and have simply confused us with the manufacturer. I would respectfully ask that, if this is indeed the case, you please correct or refile your report reflecting who you purchased it from.
However, I would still like to discuss this matter with you because previously mentioned we used to sell these products. I have seen some of these power strips fail, but I have never heard of a fire from them. There was one guy out in California that made the claim of a fire years ago (he was NOT my customer), but to this day I have seen no proof or evidence of that. It seems to be an unsubstantiated claim.
If this really happened to you - if this is real - I want to know about it! This would be the first I've heard of a fire, and that is a HUGE concern for me. That is such a concern that I will contact my customers that purchased those years ago and let them know. I also use Stetzerizer power strips in my own house and office. If yours really caught fire, I will probably take mine out of service as well. Although in years I've never had a problem with a single one of mine. I have seen some of my customers' power strips fail though.
Please contact me at email@example.com or 815-986-7974 (9-5 central time). I would really appreciate your help and information so that I can take appropriate action for my own customers. ElectraHealth.com/Stetzerizer-US.com is committed to its customers. We have a perfect rating (10.0 out of 10) on ResellerRatings.com I can also help you get in contact with the manufacturer about this.
I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you. That is terrible, and I feel for you and your family. I hope we can get to the bottom of this. I hope to hear a response from you. Thank you!!!

text: Like most K75 riders I find my bike is more of a winter bike because of the engine heat and I end up riding my R1100rt in the summer instead( it's cooler) what I found is that if I put a piece of water pipe insulation foam ,about 1 1/2 inch diameter between the fuel tank and the air box on the right side and the same place on the left , from where the fairing ends back to the side cover in almost eliminates all the hot air from the engine. I put a thermometer by my leg without the blocker and the air was 135 degrees, after I installed the foam the air temp dropped to the ambient temp of 90 degrees. Now riding my k bike at least temp wise is the same as my R1100.

Hand Carved Wood with Pin Holes and The Patina of Use
With much evidence of use and wear, this working Milliner's Head has great sculptural interest and a rich patina. Unusually with stylised facial details and even a trace of historic red paint to the lips, it has a powerful presence. There are multiple pin holes to the surface, where many various hats have been held down to e styled and tweaked, which lend extra character and interest to the piece. We have handled several similar pieces in various materials over the years, but this stylised head has a most particular individual feeling about it, a flavour of genuine folk art.

Childbirth should be a joyful occasion, when a new life is welcomed into the world. Instead, in many places in the world it is one of the most dangerous things a woman can do. Unfortunately, around the globe women are often neglected and have very limited access to maternal care. Through the generous investments made by many Americans, however, communities in developing countries are yielding substantial and lasting benefits.
In a country like Ethiopia, access to maternal health care is extremely limited. Each year 20,000 women die in childbirth and 77 babies out of 1,000 live births don't survive. In America, 99% of women give birth with a skilled health professional while in Ethiopia, only 6% of women give birth with a skilled health professional. This contrast of access to care is astounding.
I recently traveled with a group of American moms to Bahir Dar, in the northern region of Ethiopia, an area where access to maternal care is almost nonexistent. The regional hospital, which serves a population of 20 million people, does not have one full-time Ob-Gyn. While this fact is overwhelming to the senses, we are beginning to witness how private investments are building maternal care capacity and producing tremendous results.
We visited two young midwives, Yingesu and Mantegbosh, who were working at the Agita Health Center, 42 miles from Bahir Dar. This small clinic is serving a population of 51,000 people. Both of these midwives were provided scholarships by generous donors who saw their potential and recognized the impact they could make in their communities. In their first year, they made over 100 deliveries and provided approximately 1,000 women with prenatal care, thus increasing access to maternal care in the region by over 90%. Yingesu had recently delivered successfully triplets by candlelight. She said, "My hope for the future is to help my community, and I am proud of my job…I feel fantastic because I can save the lives of women and children!"
In Ethiopia, the cost to educate one midwife is $4,300 per year for four years, but the investment has a multiplying effect. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stated that "improving the health and status of women and girls acts as a positive multiplier because when women succeed, they lift themselves, they lift their families and their communities along with them." These investments made in the lives of women now will bring extensive and lasting results to communities and countries as a whole in the developing world.

About Me
Sleep when you're dead.
I just want to travel and learn! Being a teacher gives me plenty of time to take great trips but not many of my friends have jobs that allow them to travel for the length of time I can, so I am always looking for new friends to make along my travels!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do."
I hope to not have too many disappointments twenty years from now...
I love being outside doing just about anything, but especially just wandering around and finding new places. I'm a big fan of reading anything having to do with history, am completely addicted to coffee and can't get enough of learning about other cultures. I desperately want to learn to speak Spanish and become braver about trying new foods!

Arkeel Newsome is one of the best running backs in state history.
He's rushed for over 3,000 yards in a season, averaged 11 yards per carry, and even had scouts talking about his chances of breaking the all-time national rushing record.
Now, he's heading to UConn.
According to a report from the Connecticut Post, the Ansonia High School junior has committed to play for the Huskies in 2015. He chose UConn over Florida, Miami (FL), Iowa, and Boston College.
The Post reports that Newsome informed UConn head coach Paul Pasqualoni of his decision late Wednesday afternoon. The junior running back has already set the state record for career touchdowns (118), and helped lead Ansonia to back-to-back state championships.
In his three-year career, the 5-8, 185-pound back has rushed for a a total of 6,918 yards on 11.2 yards per carry.
In 2011, Newsome rushed for an absurd 3,763 yards in 14 games with Ansonia (268.8 per). He averaged 12 yards per carry, and scored an incredible 62 touchdowns that season.
Last year, he rushed for 2,245 yards and 38 touchdowns despite missing a few games with an ankle injury. He's been named an All-American by MaxPreps, won the 2012 Connecticut Post Athlete of the Year and is a two-time All-Connecticut Walter Camp selection.
Newsome is also on pace to top state records for total rushing yardage. He needs just 1,462 yards in his senior year to pass former Ansonia running back Alex Thomas, who went on to star at Yale.
The Chargers have won 28 straight games with him in the backfield, including a Class S and a Class M championship.
The Huskies could use Newsome's explosiveness, as they ranked last in the Big East in rushing in 2012.
Check out some of his highlights:

Philagrafika 2010: Temple Gallery
The Graphic Unconscious at Temple Gallery… starting with some pics of Superflex's Copy Light. From their project description… "Copy Light is a workshop that produces paper-shaded hanging lamps, each printed with the image of a famous copyrighted lamp design. The lights are constructed and hung in the gallery as they are made, gradually filling and illuminating the space. Conceptually, the lights occupy a position somewhere between an original and a copy, in the words of the artists "an in-between mode of working that has the potential to disrupt convention." This is a great cross-over piece in terms of art and design…
Truth be told, at a huge event like SGC I don't always have the energy/time to read all the exhibition info so I've been trying to get in the habit of photographing the didactics as well as the art. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't but I'm glad I thought to snap a pic of Francesc Ruiz's project explanation… Newsstand is great and one of my favorites from the whole city-wide festival.
I can't see one of these without being reminded of this.
Korean supergroup Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries had a digital video/jazz/poetry thing happening in the back room with was a welcome respite from the crowded conference scene.
And I have to admit, I never got around to seeing the Swoon work that was installed somewhere streetside. Too many things to see in too short of an amount of time.Bookmark / Share / Print

Seeing as the surfboard would quickly become a sail in the wind, I would think you'd have to be going very, very slow for it to work without causing instability, etc. Probably too slow to legally be driving on any non-neighborhood road as a motor vehicle...

I made a rack for my '75 shovel chopper. It worked perfect. I took a piece of metal (1/2" x 1" x desired length) and bent it into an L with about 4" on the bottom of the L. Drilled two holes and bolted the metal to my rear fender. Then put padding on the metal, put board on, and bungee to metal piece and then bungee to frame right under your leg. I could cruise at 60mph and no worries.

see them a in C.R. they just adapt a bike rack to motorcycle frame. not the carver one but the old school looking one.

buy a sidecar
May 10, 2013, 12:12 PM #6
There's a dude I run into occasionally at my neighborhood bar who has a customized early 70's Triumph cafe' racer with a custom side car like they use in racing (not sure what the circuit is called but I'm sure plenty have seen pics of what I'm talking about). Thing is completely bad ass, he keeps his boards strapped into the sidecar.
My little brother just got a rack for his early 80's Kawa that seems easy to bolt on. I'll find out the brand of rack and let you know what it is.

Does the Sidecar have Dakine pads and straps?

always wanted to, but being a bit up north cruising down the parkway on my 70's era bikes doesn't sound too appealing. but if you're fortunate to be closer, go for it.

Customized one for my Golf Cart couple weekends ago with the help of my buddy who is a welder. Waves were flat, something to do. Of course the only picture I have of it is with a stupid umbrella in the rack. Oh well, you get the idea.

An Application of Cointegration and Error Correction Modelling: Towards Demand for Money in Nepal
This paper makes use of co-integration analysis and error-correction modelling techniques to examine the money demand function in Nepal. In addition to using the recently developed time series techniques, the rate of variables such as agricultural GDP, non-agricultural GDP, rate of return on savings deposits etc. are examined vividly. The co-integration test suggests that the demands for narrow money (m1) is co-integrated with agricultural as well as non-agricultural income and also with the interest rate on savings deposit. On the whole the study confirms the belief that a statistically robust demand for m1 can be estimated for Nepal using an error-correction dynamic specification as well as the variables under consideration. The empirical analysis of money demand function thus exhibits that demand for real money balance in Nepal is a stable and predictable function of a few variables.

JEWELLERY was taken in a burglary at Bleary Road in Portadown on Tuesday.
Some time between 1 and 3pm on Tuesday, 5 February, entry was forced to a house and the property ransacked. A quantity of Asian style jewellery was taken along with a large, decorative Coke bottle containing cash which the householders were raising for charity. The jewellery is made up of rings, necklaces, earrings and bangles and is of great sentimental value to its owners.
A silver or blue vehicle, possibly an Audi, was observed in the area in the days prior to the burglary.
Police are appealing to anyone who noticed the vehicle or any other activity leading up to the burglary to contact them. They are also keen to hear from anyone who may come across the Coke bottle or who is offered jewellery of this nature for sale under suspicious circumstances.

Suppose that the demand for a good is given by Qd = 381 − 3P and its supply is given by Qs = 5 + 7P . The government announces a price ceiling by making it illegal to sell this good for a price above $32 per unit.
a. Calculate the shortage that would result from the price ceiling.
b. Now assume that the government wants to avoid shortages and decides to pay the sellers a sufficiently high subsidy that will eradicate the shortage. Calculate the amount of the subsidy required to achieve this goal.

Somehow I missed this story a couple days ago, but Congressional lawmakers are about to introduce bills that would eliminate the "brick and mortar" requirement for collecting Internet sales taxes.
If a bill passes -- and that's a big "if" -- it would require all online retailers, except for the tiniest companies, to collect sales taxes in the 23 states that are part of the Streamlined Sales Tax Project.
Right now, for example, Amazon is only required to collect taxes in states where it has a "physical presence," like Washington state. The National Conference of State Legislatures is pushing to get this bill through Congress. Obviously, most states have budget holes, and they're turning over every rock to find new revenue. But there's certain to be resistance in Congress to what will look like a tax increase. I dare say most people aren't voluntarily paying their Internet taxes now.
The NCSL says several big states like California, Florida and Texas that aren't part of the Streamlined Sales Tax Project are considering joining. But...
That said, efforts in several states have fizzled. New York's governor, for instance, has recently tried to tax iPod downloads, such as music and movies. The provision didn't make it into the state's final budget, approved two weeks ago. In Minnesota, a bill designed to tax digital content such as music and ringtones was, in early April, introduced in the House, but it appears to be stuck in the Senate. "There's clear opposition from the IT industry," says Minnesota Rep. Jim Davnie. "Apple, Microsoft have been in my office."
I'm sure an internet sales tax is coming at some point, like it or not. But considering the economic climate, I find it hard to believe that time is now. It's tricky. The only way I see it working is as a flat federal tax or as a simple tax agreed to by all 50 states. Half of them trying to "streamline" the taxation process isn't going to cut it. It's too much of a burden on small Internet companies to keep up with the different tax policies of all these states.
And in a time when the federal government wants to encourage consumer spending, I don't see this getting through Congress.

The soil water content in 10 depth intervals in the surface 15 cm of soil was determined hourly for 9 days in June at 83° 25′W, 33° 52′N. Over the same period at 15-min intervals soil temperatures were measured at eight depths, windspeed and air temperatures at six elevations, atmospheric water vapor pressures at three elevations, incident solar and net radiation at one meter. From the microclimate data, flux of water vapor at the soil surface was calculated, which was then used to compute soil water flux at several depths by using soil water content data. The diurnal soil water content and soil water flux patterns are compared for a dry period before a rainfall event and afterward. Dramatic diurnal variation of the soil water content at depths < 2 cm was observed. This variation during periods of no rain is related to daily radiation inputs at the soil surface, which generated the observed temperature and soil water gradients responsible for soil water redistribution. Occurrence of rainfall and infiltration events during the measurement period show additional dynamics of the field system. Description of the diurnal soil water dynamics in the plowlayer provide a basis for examining soil processes dependent upon soil water regime.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.
