Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
Oh gosh.
Carla and me and Diane are in the Republic of Coronado again. Diane's just done Carla's hair, and this Kathy's Place (250 Prospect Place, 619-522-3600), tucked into one corner of the Sharp Coronado hospital, is the nearest place to eat from where Diane is set up now.
I do kinda like this place. Cheery crowd, even though half the people in here must be going through some crisis, and the other half have just come from duty in some operating theater, or the wards.
Carla and Diane go for a cheeseburger ($3.39). I wanted a bacon burger, but the cook, Benny, says they're outa bacon. Drat.
But you could try our special," Benny says.
He points to a pile of seed-topped oblong buns.
"Portobello Rustico," says the sign, "$6.45."
"It has a delicious Portobello mushroom in it, no meat," says Benny.
Hmm, pay double for no meat?
But when he hauls out this ginormous slab of black portobello 'shroom, I guess curiosity gets the better of me.
Benny slices the bun and starts loading the bottom half up. Spinach leaves, tomato, two white disks of mozzarella cheese, a tomato salsa (we made it from "blackened tomatoes, garlic, jalapeño and red onion"), and the big black slab of Portobello mushroom that's been dipped in a vinaigrette.
Da goils laugh at me when I turn up at the table with it. And their burgers do look like so much more, well, meaty...till I bite in. Totally delish, garlicky, crunchy, tomatoey, filling without bloating.
This, I'm coming back to. Hey, maybe I'm becoming a vegetarian.

LeBron James capped off a post-game interview Friday night with an affectionate gesture to a young fan waiting to meet him. After scoring 20 points in the Heat's 109-101 victory over the Celtics, James walked over to the young girl, place his headband on her head and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
The adorableness starts at mark 1:52.
This isn't the first time James has made a fan's day. Earlier this year he hugged and tackled Michael Drysch after the 50-year-old computer technician's half-court hook shot won him $75,000.

Spain back on track
Slovenia 1-2 Spain
(Amsterdam - 45,000)
Spain are back in contention for a Euro 2000 quarter-final place after beating Slovenia 2-1 in Amsterdam.
Spain played with an industry and passion missing from their 1-0 Group C defeat by Norway, but Slovenia gave them a run for their money.
The opening goal came in the fifth minute when Raul lashed the ball past Dabanovic in the Slovenian goal after a shot from Salgado was deflected into his path.
Slovenia levelled after 59 minutes when Zahovic slipped the ball past Spanish goalkeeper Canizares after team-mate Osterc had missed Redonja's cross.
But Spain were back in front just a minute later as a surging run from Mendieta put Etxeberria through to score the winner.
Spain dominated the first half without creating many opportunities, and Slovenia had little chance to test them with the passing game that worked so well in the 3-3 draw with Yugoslavia.
Valeron nearly put Mendieta through in the 18th minute as the Spanish assault continued, but the Slovenian defence cleared the danger.
Slovenia's first real chance came on the half-hour as Novak pulled an inviting ball across the Spanish box from the right, but Redonja's shot was deflected wide.
Raul was nearly on target again five minutes after the break when his powerful header from Aranzabal's cross went just wide, but Slovenia hit back immediately, with Pavlin going close.
Zahovic's equaliser, followed by Etxeberria's strike, really brought the game to life in the second half, with headers from Galic for Slovenia and Spain's Abelardo threatening to add to the tally.
Zahovic tried to beat Canizares from 45 yards when he spotted the keeper off his line, and Slovenia - urged on by their fans - never gave up the chase and finished looking the stronger side.
But Spain held on and now face Yugoslavia in their final group game for a place in the last eight.
Slovenia: Dabanovic, Milinovic, Milanic (Knavs 68), Galic, Novak, Ceh, Udovic (Osterc 46), Zahovic, Pavlin (Acimovic 82), Rudonja, Karic.
Spain: Canizares, Salgado, Aranzabal, Guardiola (Helguera 81), Abelardo, Hierro, Raul, Perez Munoz (Urzaiz Aranda 71), Mendieta, Etxeberria, Valeron (Engonga 88).
Referee: M Merk (Germany)

My father is the ultimate multitasker. He covets any item that is reversible. And he is a sucker for anything that could solve a multitude of problems. Maybe that's why I got so excited designing this week's project, a multitasking chair runner.
I wanted to create a quick and easy cover that could add new life to an old chair, or simply give an option for a look that could vary seasonally or occasionally. But then I took it one step further by adding a stylish and practical pocket that can hold everything you need when you curl up in your favorite chair.

Good point. If you ever watch La Liga it's a disgrace. So much more diving and ref surrounding that you see in England.

Now it's time for the boring international break.
Yeah. Good game, even better result. Looked fierce today. Thought Rooney was absolutely brilliant.
Yeah great result and performance! Rooney was top notch today
Good win by United today!
In other news, Mancini is currently at the Atletico V Malaga game and guess who he is sat next to? Falcao's agent. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Ashley Young with the Away fans at Newcastle
Yep. If chelsea grab him, city would be the least of our worries ..
Always a shame the International break! Especially when Wales are struggling big time :(
Congrats to Coleen & Ryan.

Good game today :) Looked sharp upfront. Would like Shawcross back. Hope those rumors are true.
Nice to see Nicky Butt back at the club.
And I totally agree with rednick in the comments.
Pogba scored a stunning goal for Juve this weekend.
Also Pogba said it was Vieira who advised him to join Juventus when he wanted out from United. Big Pat, still the scourge of United.
Rio and Fergie have kissed and made up. http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereven...-rio-ferdinand
Still wouldn't mind having Shawcross back.
One year ago today.

Creating Outdoor Spaces & Focal Points
72 comments
Your patio is looking lovey, Brenda. Iris are one of my favorite flowers. Love seeing yours. But, you know me, the pupsters look so cute, especially Charlie on guard.ReplyDeleteReplies
Poor Charlie. He should just lay his little head down and relax.Delete
your garden looks very pretty and soothing! I love your tall fence something I think is needed in the city for a private space. So many plants - I wish I was good like that with plants - I try but I'm no where near like you - I have too much space (live in the country) and most of my space is shadyReplyDeleteReplies
I find it is much harder to figure out very large spaces than very small spaces. Just take one spot and work outward I guess! I basically picked this place for the patio.Delete
Your patio is beautiful!!! Do you put holes in the bottom of your galvaized tubs for water to drain? Cant wait to see your fairy gardens! Oh Brenda so happy for you. It all looks like you and your magical touch!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I put holes in the bottom. And then add pine cones and/or pottery shards.Delete
Brenda, what a sweet beautiful garden! Your love for gardening shows in your beautiful blooms!ReplyDelete
So pretty! I'd like to sit out on your patio and enjoy all the flowers. I think you are going to really enjoy living there. And I think it's wonderful your doggies have an outdoor area to hang out in.ReplyDelete
I love the picture of darling Charlie and Abi. They seem to be displaying their sweet personalities in their poses. Charlie the guard and Abi the diva. Seeing them always makes me smile!ReplyDelete
You are beautifully creating such a lovely garden. I really enjoy looking at your beautiful photos. I know right now, I will adore your purple-themed container, as I always love purple flowers. I'm just thrilled for you that you have such an adorable gardening spot! And I'm so looking forward to watching it grow and thrive...
That patio, and not having to walk the dogs, sealed the deal. I wouldn't have given up my washer/dryer (and had to order a more expensive unit) if I didn't have something I really wanted. And that was the patio.Delete
My goodness, I had no idea you had that many plants/flowers already. And you have some very big pots! Love the galvanized tubs. That took a lot of dirt! I have an old horse trough that leaks, so I'm going to use it for herbs and tomatoes! They are so serviceable. Who knew your patio garden could be so beautiful in such a short time? You are truly amazing! It's like 94 today, 104 yesterday!ReplyDeleteReplies
Judy brought me a bunch of pine cones from their yard, so some of the tubs are filled halfway with pine cones. I did the same thing in the big pots, except I didn't have the pine cones yet. So I used broken pottery and the small plastic pots flowers come in.Delete
You've done a lot of work and it all looks so lovely already. I have a delicate question -- where do the pups go to the potty now? I'm not trying to be nosy or weird, I'm just wondering how you handle something like that with two dogs in a small space. We have a cat in a rental and don't have an ideal place for a litter box, so, I know what it's like having to try to come up with solutions for such problems. I'm wondering if you have fixed up a place for them inside of your fenced patio, or if you have to take them on a walk outside of the fenced area. I hope it's not a difficult arrangement for you and your ankle issues.ReplyDeleteReplies
Good question! I was just wondering the same thing.Delete
Not nosy. Everyone asks that. There are dirt perimeters around three sides of the fence. Just not against the house wall. They are anywhere (different in different beds) from a foot or so to probably two feet. I have planted plants there, because in TX that's how they started out. They're accustomed to going in flower beds. I had no grass for them in TX.Delete
OK, I think I see the dirt perimeter in a couple of the photos. Thanks for the answer. Going back to look at the photos, I noticed the moon-shaped decoration with the graceful lady in it, and the metal sculpture of the girl reaching for the sky. I love both of those! You have so many nice decorations, but what is best, you have a way of putting everything together so that it is pleasing and not cluttered.Delete
Brenda! Your flowers are so fun and pretty! I worked out in my patio area today. Whew! Im pooped! Where do the pupsters go potty??? Do you walk them?ReplyDelete
There is dirt along the perimeter of three sides. Just not against the walls. I have planted stuff in them, because they are accustomed (or were in TX) to going in flower beds. No, that's why I chose this place. Don't have to walk them, and have a big place for plants.ReplyDelete
Charlie and Abi look like they are already right at home. I really like those galvanized tubs and the red dishes in front! I have a gardening question. My posts are on a screen-in patio yet there is still a lot of little "knat" type bugs around my strawberries. I was thinking of getting some organic insecticidal soap to get rid of them. Do you ever get pesty bugs on any of your plants, and if so, what do you do?ReplyDeleteReplies
I haven't had a lot of trouble with that. Been lucky I guess. But then it's been ages since I grew strawberries too. I'd google home remedy ways to get rid of them. I just hate to use pesticides of any nature.Delete
I meant my potsReplyDelete
I voted on your lampshade the other day. I must say, in the past, sometimes I've gone to vote at certain sites and found that I was torn on who to vote for; but not this time! I TRULY LIKED YOUR SHADE BEST...voting for you was easy! :) Now...do we only vote once--or is this one of those, I can vote for you once every 24 hrs? Cause I'll vote for you again,girl!
Love your patio garden-- it is so nice. I was wondering about accommodations for the pupsters too?
The purple iris is so pretty! Mine did not bloom this year. Only the whites on the side of the house bloomed. :/ No purple.
There are little strips of flower gardens they go in. When they were pups in TX, they were trained to flower beds because I didn't have grass on that side of the house.Delete
Love your patio full of potted plants!!! Simply stunning!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! There is a lot one can achieve with container gardening. Especially good if you are disabled, in a wheelchair, of just have a bad back. I sit on my little garden roller and have a ball.Delete
Love your outdoor space. It is much larger then I thought and such a great space to have your garden and room to sit and enjoy. Love the big glass doors to bring the outside in. The pupsters are so cute!!ReplyDelete
hugs, LindaReplies
I almost didn't get this space. But I'm so glad it worked out that I did. It's probably one of the biggest spaces here. Some people don't use their space, I've noticed. Boy, I sure do!Delete
I love your outdoor space Brenda, it is looking real good, I especially like the galvanized garden area. Loving the purple iris. I voted for you and yours is the best. You spirit seem happier, and I am so happy for you! I think you are certainly making this your home!ReplyDeleteReplies
We (I say we, it was actually Judy and her granddaughter) put up some pretty dark bamboo like shades I'd ordered for the front window. It was just too much white over there with the white blinds and white walls. I love the way it looks. Will show you all soon. We left the white blinds up and they are underneath. I know this will probably help my cooling bill.Delete
I love how you stacked those garden tubs. I wanted to make a fountain out of one this year, but maybe I'll plant in it instead. I'm afraid the mosquitoes might like the fountain (and me) too much. I just voted for your shade. I love it! It's sort of like a doily quilt.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've never been one to ask for votes, or ask people to "follow" me, etc. If you guys go over there and see one you like better, you should certainly vote for it. I'm not a fan of asking people to do things. Just like I don't have rules for my Tweak It party. I think we can get carried away with all the rules and such and take the fun out of things.Delete
Brenda, You have made yourself a nice little oasis. I love that you can see it while in the kitchen. I think it would make the kitchen seem larger. Love you tubs. Lots of wonderful flowers. Blessings, xoxo,SusieReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Susie. I just moved the refrigerator to make room for my washer closer to my sink so I hopefully won't have to move it to attach it to the kitchen faucet. Things are coming together and I'm pleased with a smaller space to clean. My ankle and back are pleased as well!Delete
Brenda your pups are too cute!! You did a wonderful job with your outside garden!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Martina. I actually prefer not to have grass. It's a pain in the butt to me. I would rather have garden after garden if I had dirt. Seeing as I have cement, it might get a little hotter. I will just have to make sure all my containers are a good size so the sun and cement doesn't overheat them.Delete
Give the birds some time. They may not be aware the seeds are there yet. When I moved and added birdfeeders it took several weeks before I got any birds there. I think it just took awhile for them to find them.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, I sure hope so. I love to take photos of birds, and I can't do it if I don't draw some in!Delete
I love watching you build this garden space, Brenda...so much personality and special pieces...love it! And I voted for your shade...it was the best!!ReplyDeleteReplies
It is so much fun to fiddle around out there. To make it fit my personality. Hope you're finally getting to garden in your neck of the woods.Delete
Hi Brenda! I've just come back from voting for your darling lampshade! I thought it was the sweetest one! Now your patio area is looking great! The puppies seem very comfy there too. I'm so thrilled for you that you have this space and it seems pretty spacious too! You've been a busy little bee too - everything looks so pretty and healthy. I've not been around too much as we've been to New York and now home and busy busy busy, but I had to pop in to see what you were up to. I'm glad you were up to digging in the dirt! ;)ReplyDelete
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)Replies
Yes, I've been busy. I've got to slow down. I tell myself that every day!Delete
Oh the birds will wise up soon : ) I voted on your lampshade the other day and it was an honest vote too...as in, while I went there to vote for you, you blew the others away :)ReplyDelete
This might be a matter of taste but I just loved what you did with it. Old-fashioned, sweet, and delicate.
As to the patio garden I just knew that this was going to be fun once you'd settled in :)Replies
I've got to get the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen in better shape, and clean out the boxes from the closets. Then I will be free to garden!Delete
Your patio garden is already looking great. I am really liking the stacked galvanized tubs. If I can find some more I will add to the two that I have and stack them. The way you have used the plates really adds some nice pops of color.ReplyDelete
I had to keep going back and looking at your pretty garden pictures---so much beauty and creativity! Wonderful collection of suns. How nice it must be to sit in your living room and be able to look out onto such a pretty space. Another good thing is that you can let the pupsters outside and keep an eye on them from inside.Replies
It is wonderful to sit while I'm working on my laptop and gaze at each new leaf; each new bloom.Delete
I so enjoy your voice and the ideas from your blog, but I'm ready to unsubscribe because of the way the updates are delivered to my email; with no information as to the content in the post. I suppose it is what the blogsphere recommends, but it is such a shame.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have no say on how they do the emails that go out. Because I use free Feedburner. I am looking into other options, but I will have to pay. Perhaps it would be worth it. I am researching that now, because Feedburner seems to have dropped the ball on sending out emails.Delete
Brenda that is really looking great! I think you have done a great job back there and once things fill in a bit and the vines start to climb they won't look so "lined up". Love that ladybug from Judy. That is so like her! It took several weeks for the birds to find us once we moved in, Brenda. The birds were at our neighbors house but didn't come to us for a long time. I don't know what the magic is....How about something on top of the fence to lure them in-some seeds pushed into the wood a bit ...or held on by some peanut butter or something? xo DianaReplyDeleteReplies
I think it just takes birds awhile to trust you. I'm hoping so. Someone else said I might try smaller seed in another feeder. I'll try that.Delete
Your outdoor room and gardens look wonderful, Brenda! I love all your colorful pots. The pups look like they are enjoying their new home, too. I finally got to vote for your lampshade. It's by far the prettiest in my opinion!ReplyDeleteReplies
I plan to keep expanding on what I have out there when the ideas strike me. I just love color you know!Delete
You seem so much happier in your new place. I love that you have this small garden space right out your patio door. I'm really going to enjoy seeing how your little garden grows. I think the place is very cute on the inside too! Cuter than your house. I'm having a hard time blogging of late because I am working so much. But I have been able to buy a few things I've wanted for awhile - now I just need to blog about them.ReplyDeleteReplies
I read about your new job. Congratulations, Nita! I hope you like it. This place was built in the sixties, so is not by any means new, but that's fine by me.Delete
Wow! You're well on your way to a gorgeous garden! I love the galvanized tubs and your puppies are just adorable!ReplyDeleteReplies
I like that the galvanized tubs lend a vintage feel out there.Delete
Your garden is coming together so nicely. I love your colorful sunshine face. He makes me smile with him. I have a big fence that could use some color, I might just have to be on the lookout for something like that. I never thought of planing something who's fragrance would carry in the air into the house. What a great idea. You being out in the garden really makes me want to get out and play in the dirt. But, it will be a few weeks for me. Until then I will live vicariously through you.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, I can say I'm having a ball out there.Delete
Your container garden is beautiful...and I would think so much easier than plants in the ground.ReplyDelete
And those little dogs are sooo cute.Replies
With the little rolling cart I've had for years, it makes container gardening so easy. So easy on your back and stooping. I really don't think I could do it all without it.Delete
Reading some of your own comments here makes me wonder if you aren't still in the blue house of your daughter's ?ReplyDelete
Did I miss a move?Replies
You did indeed miss a move. Just over two weeks ago.Delete
You are definitely the Plant Whisperer. This week I guess we will work on getting some plants for the pots and to hang in the pergola. My husband does the gardening because he's the one with the green thumb. I do love looking at what you have been able to accomplish is such a short time.ReplyDeleteReplies
I would love to have one of those Target gazebos I had in TX. It was so nice to sit out and read while it rained. I'll be looking into that when the funds are there. I hope!Delete
Brenda, you have done a beautiful job with your courtyard patio. It looks huge. That's funny about the pupsters and the cats. My toy poodle thinks he is a cat. We have him and three outdoor kitties and two of them are bigger than him. One of those kitties and him are best friends. When he goes to the groomer, he can be found hanging out in the cat condo when we pick him up. xoxoReplyDeleteReplies
How sweet! Those cats better be good to him!Delete
I love the washtubs and the fence. They take you right out of the city to the lovely countryside. When the vines take hold and cover you canReplyDelete
light them with the solar up-lights that look like rocks. Such a beautiful spot on a soft summer night. All of your pots are gorgeous. Anything we have in pots on concrete is already
frying...100 degrees today!
You're so lucky! And the birds will
come. Maybe the previous resident
used to chase them. They just need time.
Brenda your lampshade is the best of all!!!! It is just beautiful.....all you!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I am in LOVE with those washtubs...what a sensational idea! It's going to look like a waterfall of color in a few weeks! You have done a really wonderful job on your patio and you are going to enjoy it so much! Yay!ReplyDelete
This is just what I needed today! I've created a new garden space outside my kitchen window that will just have potted plants and a bird feeder (I don't want another flower bed to have to weed!) My problem is how to make it all look connected and "pulled together". Thanks for your tips! I love your galvanized tubs and I'm going outside now and stick a pretty plate in my pot :-)ReplyDelete
When I first moved in here 3 years ago, I was so jealous of my neighbors yard. Birds would fly over my yard and go to their feeders and I'd pray "just one bird to come to my feeder, please". I even tied a red ribbon on the feeder so they might spot it easier. Then God sent a beautiful Monarch butterfly that very moment, to land in my yard just a few feet away from my feet. It was just what I needed to remind me that other wildlife would come - I wasn't forgotten - and today my yard is full of birds and squirrels.
While I'm not a gardener myself I certainly enjoy looking at gorgeous ones like yours. You've been a very busy girl. The pups seems to like it also. Your new home, new garden, getting settled in pretty well. Things take time, you don't have to hurry, give yourself a break. Glad you found yourself such a perfect place for you and your furry kidz.ReplyDelete
It is nice not to have so much to clean up after. The older I get (will be 74 in July) the more I realize that. We just have a small 3 bdrm, 2 bath single wide manufactured home 16x80 and it's too much for me most of the time. I want to spend my energies/time on making things not cleaning house.
I had to print out the photo of your lamp shade so I can keep the idea in mind. Making a big glass jar into a lamp, your lamp shade style would be so pretty on it. I did vote for your shade also. Happy days
Wow, you have so many things already for your garden. So glad you could bring them from the other house. It all looks really good. What til Charlie next door sees this. I bet his wife will have him planting, hah.ReplyDelete
Yeah, I was finally able to vote. Yours is the best lampshade hands down.
Love the pupsters pictures. How does Charlie () balance up on top of the cushion. They look right at home. The squirrels really bother my springer.....even more than the deer. It may just take awhile for the birds to come. I don't really know.
Rest your back and foot, you have been working hard.
It's so hard loosing a best friend. I lost mine 10 years ago. So ironic that I now watch her one year old granddaughter. I think she would be pleased.
Have a good week.
I went and looked at the shades and thought ok I will be objective and....I voted for your shade . Ioved your use of old linens...go Brenda!ReplyDelete
I always enjoy reading your comments and having you join the conversation here at Cozy Little House. It is like having a gathering of friends sitting in my cozy apartment. Enjoying coffee and dessert, chatting and having a good time.
Please be kind with your comments. We all need kindness in this world. That's not to say you can't state your opinion! Everyone should be able to state their own opinion in a kind and thoughtful manner.
I appreciate each and every one of you!

Size and speed: Dwayne has NFL size at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds. He is super-fast and has run the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds. He also has a 38-inch vertical jump.
Honors: All-state all-groups, all-county, all-league
Statistics: Last season Dwayne had 40 catches for 956 yards with 17 touchdowns. As a defensive back he had 24 solo tackles and six interceptions returning two of them for touchdowns.
Favorite schools: Jarrett is listing Michigan and Pittsburgh as his early leaders, but he's also interested in Rutgers, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Virginia for now.
Skinny: Jarrett is a top player in New Jersey and will be considered one of the top receivers in the land. With his size and speed he drives opposing defenses crazy. Not only does Dwayne have an NFL frame, but he also has the hands to go along with it. With offers already from Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rutgers and Connecticut, expect him to have more than a dozen by the end of May.
"I'm looking forward the recruiting process. I hope to have my schools narrowed down to six or seven before the season begins. I want to take all five of my official visits before I decide on anything."
This summer Jarrett will be camping at Michigan and Pittsburgh for sure and hopes to get to a few others schools as well -- if not for camp at least for an unofficial visit.
"I really want to visit a few schools over the summer to get an idea of what to expect. I was at the Rutgers Junior Day and I really like it there. Coach Schiano is a guy that I could play for."
Not only is Dwayne a blue-chip football prospect, but he is also drawing attention for his skills on the basketball court. With a 18.8 points-per-game average, Dwayne hopes to lead New Brunswick to a third straight state championship. He has hoops interest from Rutgers, Virginia and a few other D-1 schools.

Emma Watson finally weighs in on the 'new' Hermione
"Can't wait"
At the end of last year, the highly anticipated cast for the West End play for 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Chid' was revealed. Hermione Granger will be played by 45- year old Noma Dumezweni.
Image I Twitter
When we think of Hermione Granger we admittedly picture the character Emma Watson played. Fair-skinned with frizzy hair.
Although the casting decision was widely accepted there were some fans who struggled to accept the new image of Hermione. J.K Rowling even pointed out that nowhere in the book does it describe Hermione's skin colour "Canon: brown eyes, frizzy hair and very clever. White skin was never specified. Rowling loves black Hermione."
Emma Watson who played Hermione throughout the entire film series has finally weighed in and given her opinion on the matter. To say she had a lot of love for Noma would be an understatement. "Can't wait to see Noma Dumezweni as Hermione on stage this year. (Finishing the tweet with thirteen love hearts."
Noma replied, "Thank you Miss Watson! Much appreciated. I look forward to experiencing Hermione too."
Now all we are imagining is old Hermione meeting new Hermione and our little Harry Potter hearts might not be able to handle it.
Oh. My. God.
"The scum of the earth."

Fantasy farmers take up swords
By BBC News Online's Alfred Hermida in Las Vegas
Keen computer gamers are getting a glimpse of a role-playing game that Microsoft hopes will be one of the most popular PC titles for 2002.
Set in a familiar fantasy world scenario, Dungeon Siege takes players from humble beginnings as a farmer to a life dedicated to heroism and daring-do.
The game's developers are trying to make it stand out from the crowd of fantasy games currently on the market by removing some of the conventions that dent the realism of existing titles.
Dungeon Siege is due to go on sale in the US in April and worldwide two months later.
Non-stop action
"We are offering a rich, engaging fantasy experience but with no steep learning curve," Microsoft's Christopher Lye told BBC News Online.
At the start of the game, set in the fictitious Kingdom of Ehb, the player is cast as a farmer who is seeking revenge against the evil creatures that have killed his best friend and destroyed his small-holding.
But beyond the recognisable storyline, Dungeon Siege attempts to get rid of some of the annoying compromises PC technology forces on games.
Dungeon Siege uses what Mr Lye described as "streaming technology" to avoid putting the action on hold while the next part of the world unfolds.
Gamers will never see loading screens in Dungeon Siege.
"It is a stream of fantasy," said Mr Lye. "It does not pull you out of the game."
Learning curve
Unlike most other role-playing games, Dungeon Siege does not force players to commit to one narrow specialisation at the start and stick with it throughout the rest of the adventure.
In this game, you do not choose a specific character like a magic user, warrior, thief or priest.
Instead, players start off with no special skills but as they play the game, the character adapts to fit their playing style.
Those who prefer to use a bow and arrow as their primary weapon gradually improve their archery skills.
During the adventure players can meet up with up to seven other characters.
As with many 3D games, in Dungeon Siege you can zoom around the game as you play it.
But again, the game developers have added something a little special.
In Dungeon Siege, you can pause the fighting and then move around the scene, just like in the film The Matrix.
Microsoft is aiming to build an online community of gamers, with the release of tools that allow players to create their own fantasy worlds.
Dungeon Siege is the creation of Gas Powered Games, which was founded in May 1998 by Chris Taylor, creator of the award-winning Total Annihilation.

On May 13, 1939, the captain of the S/S St. Louis wrote in his ship's log, "Everyone seems convinced they will never see Germany again...but beautiful weather, pure sea air, good food, and attentive service will soon provide the usual worry-free atmosphere of long sea voyages." That didn't happen. The S/S St. Louis was filled with more than 900 German Jewish refugees dreaming of a new life across the sea. Their dream turned into a nightmare when they were denied entry into Cuba, then the U.S. and even Canada. (Only 29 who had what were deemed the proper documents were allowed to disembark.) The ship returned to Europe, where, after frantic negotiations, Holland, France, Belgium and England agreed to take the lost souls. But even then, the refugees were not safe, as the Nazis invaded the host countries. Most of the refugees were deported to concentration camps (an estimated third to two-thirds of the original 900-plus refugees did not survive the war).

Development of Written Language
Written for the KidsKnowIt Network by:
Meredith Tennant
The alphabet is a code that we crack when we learn to read. Letters represent sounds. But who invented the code?
Writing appears to have developed in several cultures at more or less the same time - several thousand years ago. Writing began as pictures (pictograms) of everyday items. Originally people made pictograms by either drawing or pressing shapes onto pieces of wet clay. Many such tokens have been found during archaeological digs in areas that are known to have been agrarian (farming) cultures. In fact, some of the very oldest examples of writing that have been found have to do with the daily ration of beer given to each citizen. Gradually the pictograms developed into representations of ideas and then came to stand for particular sounds.
Examples of early writing, which have been dated to about 3500 B.C., have been found in Pakistan at the site of Harappa. Harappa was at that time a large city in the Indus Valley. The writing has not been deciphered, however, unlike writing examples found in Egypt and Iraq that are clearly to do with the trading of grain, land, and animals. As Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), ancient Egypt, and ancient India traded with each other it is possible that the idea of writing could have spread between them. Mesopotamia was part of the Sumerian culture. Their early writing has become known as cuneiform (wedge-shaped) due to its style.
In Egypt, one of the oldest examples of a pictogram is the name of a Pharoah, possibly written in about 3400 B.C. These ancient Egyptian symbols are called hieroglyphs and are thought to have developed from cuneiform symbols. Gradually a hieroglyph representing a particular word came to represent just the sound of the first letter of that word. For example, the hieroglyph for water was pronounced 'nu'. The symbol came to stand for the sound 'n'. This is believed to be the beginning of a written alphabet, or the system of having one symbol for one sound. Cuneiform only had symbols for the consonants and none for the vowels.
Further north, archaeological excavations at the site of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra) in Syria have revealed that they too were developing an alphabet for the consonants. It was the ancient Greeks who made symbols for the vowels, using the Phoenician alphabet from Ugarit and further developing it. The Greek alphabet led to all the alphabets of the western world.
The written languages of the eastern world, such as Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, all come from Chinese. Early Chinese writing examples are on tortoise shells and animal bones dating from the Shang Dynasty (17th-11th century B.C.) but are already quite developed. It is therefore believed that Chinese writing might have begun more than 5,000 years ago, and, according to some archaeologists, even earlier than that, possibly as much as 8,000 years ago. The Chinese written language does not have an alphabet like the western world, but uses characters. These characters have parts that can represent one or more syllables, meaning, objects, pronunciation or ideas.
Can you think of a modern written language that is being developed?

The Obama administration on Wednesday released a proposed rule outlining the standards for "navigators" who will help consumers shop for health insurance in new exchanges set up by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Navigators are organizations that will provide unbiased information to consumers about health insurance, the new health exchanges, qualified health plans, and public programs including Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
"Navigators will be an important resource for consumers who want to learn about and apply for coverage in the new marketplace," Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Acting Administrator Marilyn Tavenner said in a statement.
For those who are not familiar with health insurance, have limited English literacy, or living with disabilities, the administration says navigators will serve an "important role in ensuring people understand the health coverage options available to them." Navigators will provide accurate and impartial assistance to consumers shopping for coverage plans in the new marketplace.
In regulations released Wednesday by the Department of Health and Human Services, navigators cannot select a plan for their clients and are not in charge of determining whether customers are eligible for federal subsidies.
They do, however, play an "important role in facilitating a consumer's enrollment by providing fair, impartial and accurate information that assists consumers with submitting the eligibility application, clarifying the distinctions among qualified health plans, and helping qualified individuals make informed decisions during the health plan selection process."
In its 63-page rule, HHS says "holding an agent or broker license is neither necessary, nor by itself sufficient, to perform the duties of a navigator, as these licenses generally do not address areas in which navigators need expertise, including the public coverage options that would be available to some consumers."
Navigators also may not be paid by insurance companies.
In addition to navigators, consumers will have access to assistance through services such as a call center, where customer service representatives can provide referrals to the appropriate state or federal agencies, or other forms of assistance programs including in-person assistance personnel, certified application counselors and agents and brokers.
Open enrollment in exchanges begins Oct. 1, with coverage to begin Jan. 1, 2014.
The administration will take comments from interested parties and the public for 30 days.

ANNAPOLIS, MD. — Senate and House leadership inched closer to reaching a budget deal Saturday, as lawmakers agreed to set higher income taxes on Maryland residents earning more than $100,000 annually but avoided a millionaire's tax that had been floated by both chambers.
Residents earning between $125,000 and $500,000 would see the greatest increase in their income taxes, at least a half-percentage point.
A new income bracket would raise taxes on Marylanders earning between $250,000 and $300,000 from 5 percent to 5.75 percent, the largest hike for any earner.
While protecting Maryland's lowest-earning residents, the budget plan also avoids an unprecedented flat-tax — also known as the half-millionaire's tax — on households earning more than $500,000 annually. A millionaire's taxwas also left out of the deal.
The Senate's initial proposal raised taxes on all residents earning more than $3,000, a measure House lawmakers couldn't stomach, said Del. Kumar Barve, D-Montgomery.
Lawmakers came to terms on the first year of plans to shift half of the state's teacher pension costs to the counties — local jurisdictions will be responsible for $136.6 million in pensions in fiscal 2013, and the entirety of the shift will be spread out over four years.
Budget negotiators remain split on minor details of the pension plan, and are still discussing reductions of income exemptions for taxpayers. And House lawmakers want to leave exemptions untouched for residents earning less than $100,000, a move the Senatewarnedwould cost the state roughly $54 million next year.
The latest budget offering increases state revenues and cuts spending to the tune of $415.7 million in fiscal 2013.

Healthy compromise aids S.F. hospitals
Published 6:04 pm, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Two new hospitals, less traffic and side benefits such as labor peace and health coverage for city workers are all covered in a compromise that ends one of San Francisco's biggest land-use fights.
The Sutter hospital chain reached a deal with city leaders that offers balance and moderation amid tricky local politics and the hazy future of health care. It took months of dickering between hospital executives and City Hall, but the result is a worthwhile product.
The results scale down Sutter's dream of a Mayo Clinic West to rival the Stanford Medical Center. Instead of a 555-bed super-hospital on Cathedral Hill, the new facility will have up to 304 beds. Cost, traffic worries at the junction of two busy streets, and Obamacare uncertainties played into the decision.
The second major change involved renovating St. Luke's, the lone private hospital in the Mission District and a pressure point for concerns about equal access to health care. Its future was wobbly, even though Sutter offered to keep it open for now. Under the deal, it will grow from 80 to 12o beds, a decision that came about after the city's changing demographics were factored in such as the huge Hunters Point development and South of Market population growth.

There are other features to note. The powerful nurses union recently reached a new contract with Sutter, removing a major impediment to expansion talk. City Hall had its own direct stake, winning assurances of prices on coverage for public employees. The downsizing of the Cathedral Hill facility was pushed by another factor: the continued emphasis on keeping patients out of costly hospital beds, a trend enhanced by looming Obamacare rules due to begin next year.
The end result is that a huge project didn't get away. It's a $2 billion undertaking, double the size of the Warriors' proposed waterfront arena. Local hiring, construction work and an enhanced future for health care as a major city industry all go in the mix.
It also tested the city's fractious politics, which in this case get a passing grade. Supervisors David Campos, David Chiu and Mark Farrell poured hundreds of hours into talks with Sutter executives led by Dr. Warren Browner, head of the California Pacific Medical Center, which will operate the two new hospitals. Overseeing the agreement was mediator and political veteran Lou Giraudo.
It's now up to all the players to deliver on a promising plan that should smooth the future for accessible, modern health care.

Facilitating students and graduates in presenting themselves for the 21st Century, Abertay
Wed 23 Mar 16
Like most of us, students and graduates increasingly interact online.
Many potential employers also market themselves and recruit online, whether via social media campaigns or through talent identification and matching via such services as provided by Gradintel and others. LinkedIn, with over 17 million users in the UK (and student users as the fastest growing group) have a UK student hub, and they and many others provide opportunities for students to 'market' themselves. New possibilities in holistic digital presentations are being developed nationally and internationally, and support developed for students to take advantage of these.
Graduate recruiters are increasingly turning to video interviewing, or viewing video CVs. And institutions are increasingly seeking to promote and recognise the wider achievements of their graduates and confirm these electronically, via the Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) or such initiatives as Awards and Open Badges.
This seminar, the sixth to be offered in collaboration by the Centre for Recording Achievement and the Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services, and the first in Scotland, will feature stimulus contributions and extended opportunities for developmental discussions on how we might support students in navigating the 'digital frontier' from start to finish.
An important emphasis will be upon demonstration and participation, in order that participants gain direct experience of the world our students increasingly inhabit, and how they can make the most of the opportunities it presents.
This event is primarily aimed at those supporting students; however students and student representatives, (including AGCAS student members) will also be very welcome and we will include a 'student rate' in the booking form for this purpose.

Reaching others for Christ
Mission co-workers in Thailand work with theology students, prostitutes
October 13, 2009
Editor's note: This is the third in a series of stories about the more than 50 Presbyterian mission workers and international peacemakers who are speaking in more than 150 presbyteries in the coming month as part of Mission Challenge '09. — Jerry L. Van Marter
The Mission Challenge came to the four presbyteries in the Synod of the Southwest in the person of Carol Fujii, who with her husband, Leith, serves at the Bangkok Institute of Theology in Thailand.
Fujii visited 13 churches in Grand Canyon, de Cristo, Santa Fe and Sierra Blanca presbyteries during her itineration. The Mission Challenge is intended to connect mission co-workers with Presbyterians across the country. From Sept. 25-Oct. 18, 45 co-workers will visit 152 presbyteries, sharing their stories and educating listeners on how to get involved.
On Oct. 8, Fujii told of her experiences in Thailand, where she has been since 1998. She teaches English to incoming students at the institute and works with The Well, an outreach ministry to women in prostitution.
In Thailand, the government tends not to notice that up to 300,000 women and girls are involved in prostitution, even though it is against the law.
Fujii told of Supharang (Kay), a graduate of the theological school who felt a real call to reach out to these women as she approached graduation. With her husband, Kay began ministering through The Well, which helps women find an alternative to prostitution by teaching skills such as card and jewelry making. They came to know a woman named Thom, who knew that what she was doing was not her.
Thom was offered an opportunity to go The Well but was leery at first. Later, she called and came to The Well, accepting Christ's love and forgiveness. She learned English and how to play the guitar. Now she has reached out to her family, and the whole family has become Christians.
Fujii works a couple of days a week at the center, working alongside the girls to encourage them and to be with them. She seeks to introduce them to God's love and show them a job or vocation that is healthier than prostitution. It is "very discouraging when a girl leaves and goes back to prostitution," Fujii said.
Faculty development is a challenge at the institute, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary. The institute does not offer graduate degrees beyond the M.Div., so aspiring faculty members must quite often seek further education in the United States. There is much competition to be accepted, and the students' struggle with English is a handicap.
Fujii said the challenge before the Church of Christ in Thailand is "for the church to be relevant to the Thai society and to think outside the box to reach others for Christ."
In a country that is 95 percent Buddhist and only one percent Christian, Fujii pointed to one graduate who developed a soccer ministry as a way of reaching some who would not otherwise darken the door of a Christian church.
A mother of four, Fujii's now has an empty nest: Joy is a captain in the U.S. Army and due to go to Iraq soon, Karin is with the Peace Corps in Cameroon, Mark is in college in Chicago and Lani is a student in California.
Ray Kersting is retired clergy living in Santa Fe, N.M. He is moderator-elect of Santa Fe Presbytery and for the past 15 years has been editor of "Noticias," the newsletter of the presbytery, and "Report," the electronic newsletter of the Synod of the Southwest.

Glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms do not affect growth in fetal and early postnatal life. The Generation R Study
Background: Glucocorticoids have an important role in early growth and development. Glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms have been identified that contribute to the variability in glucocorticoid sensitivity. We examined whether these glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with growth in fetal and early postnatal life.Methods: This study was embedded in a population-based prospective cohort study from fetal life onwards. The studied glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms included BclI (rs41423247), TthIIII (rs10052957), GR-9β (rs6198), N363S (rs6195) and R23K (rs6789 and6190). Fetal growth was assessed by ultrasounds in second and third trimester of pregnancy. Anthropometric measurements in early childhood were performed at birth and at the ages of 6, 14 and 24 months postnatally. Analyses focused on weight, length and head circumference. Analyses were based on 2,414 healthy, Caucasian children.Results: Glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms were not associated with fetal weight, birth weight and early postnatal weight. Also, no associations were found with length and head circumference. Neither were these polymorphisms associated with the risks of low birth weight or growth acceleration from birth to 24 months of age.Conclusions: We found in a large population-based cohort no evidence for an effect of known glucocorticoid receptor gene polymorphisms on fetal and early postnatal growth characteristics. Further systematic searches for common genetic variants by means of genome-wide association studies will enable us to obtain a more complete understanding of what genes and polymorphisms are involved in growth in fetal life and infancy.

I need nursing clothes!!!
My baby has caused my tig ol bitties to get even bigger! It was hard enough to bring myself to spend $50 on two nursing bras but they were a neccisity. Well baby girl is almost a month old and we've figured out she hates being covered up so the 3x I've tried nursing in public I ended up flashing anyone who may have been looking. I honestly don't care but SO has a problem with anyone outside of the family seeing my boobs. (the baby eats from them, our other kids are all girls and will have the same things one day, and SO said that they are 'his' boobies a long time ago along with a couple of other select parts of my body lol).
anyways baby hates being covered, we have other kiddos so it's not like I can just not ever nurse in public for the next year or so, and SO doesn't want me nursing with the whole breast exposed.
So I need clothes...CHEAP clothes...can't really afford anything else. it's like ok one shirt from motherhood or a few from goodwill. Except when it comes to goodwill their maternity selection sucked most of the time and they don't have a nursing clothes section. I'm too large for button up shirts, always have been, but for sure now. So here is my delema...how in the world do I get cheap clothes that will work for nursing? At home I can lift it all up and expose everything, but out in public I can't. I only have one shirt that I can pull down but that still leaves the boobie exposed. Baby turns a month old in 2 days, I can not fight the cover and fight her everytime we're out and she needs to eat! It made a normal 15-20min session turn into a 50min fight with her. (by the way I REFUSE to go sit in a bathroom and feed her. That's disgusting, plus there is no way in heck I can leave the other kids alone or keep them in there with me or be so creul as to leave SO alone in public to deal with the rest of the kiddos while I go feed the baby on the tolet.eww. but anyways just wanted to throw that in there before anyone suggested it)
I like the Massimo wrap shirts from Target. The left side opens up so that it only exposes the nipple. But then, my kids refuse the right side.
ive never used nursing clothes of any kind , i nurse in public maybe im the only one?
This is my DD nursing right now in a Massimo shirt!
When you nurse, shirt goes up tank comes down. The shirt covers the top of the boob, tank covers my not so cute post baby belly, and babies head covers the front of the boob/niple
two shirt method seems like it'll be a winner so now I need to get a ton of tank tops, thanks! and maybe a trip to target to try on a massimo brand shirt...
Quoting MaskedMomma:
two shirt method seems like it'll be a winner so now I need to get a ton of tank tops, thanks! and maybe a trip to target to try on a massimo brand shirt...

"Iron Man: Rise of Technovore" is the latest in a partnership between Japanese anime studio Madhouse and Marvel Animation, the same team-up that brought us all four Marvel Anime last year. Personally I liked them all to varying degrees but was pretty pleased with them for the most part. I had really hoped Japan would take more license with the characters but hey what we got was pretty fun, and Iron Man was actually one of the ones I thought had a very unique story for. However "Rise of Technovore" cannot make the same claim.
Let me start with a quick rundown of the plot. Tony Stark has created a new satellite dubbed "Howard" after his late father. The purpose of the satellite is the ultimate big brother to would-be terrorists and criminals, with everyone's favorite peace keeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D. in control. The launch site is attacked and in the calamity Colonel James Rhodes aka War Machine is fatally injured. The perpetrator wore a suit of highly advanced bio-mechanical armor, and all but made a fool of Tony. Nick Fury wants Stark to stay aboard the helicarrier as to help figure out who their new enemy is, but Stark being gung-ho and well, Stark wants to head out on his own.
There really isn't much more to the plot than that sadly. The film consists of Iron Man fighting S.H.I.E.L.D. robots as they try to detain him from looking for their quarry, at one point even using "Howard" to find him. All I could think of was why didn't they use it to find the bad guy? Wait, that would've ended the film too early. Along the way Tony comes across a Norman Reedus voiced Punisher, and has to briefly battle fellow Avengers Hawkeye and Black Widow.
The movie takes cues from both the cinematic universe and the comics as well, giving the world a familiar feel. The action is fast and furious and the battles more kinetic since there is less CGI used on the Iron Man armors allowing for more fluid action. Backgrounds however were glossed over. They look like CGI backgrounds from video games. The cities, when briefly seen, look good, but the CGI landscapes are very bland and sometimes distract you.
If you like anime or Marvel I'd suggest checking this out. It's worth a watch or two for the action. If you're looking for something with story this is not it. Go watch the 12 episode anime series instead or even Marvel's "Iron Man Animated Adventures" but this is just something to get your Iron Man fix til "Iron Man 3" comes out.

Earlier during an interaction with the mediapersons at A J Hospital premises on November 12, the DC said that to avoid any untoward incidents from taking place, Section 144 would be imposed till November 13 evening and will be extended depending on the situation.
On November 13, in a press release, the DC has stated that Section 144 has been extended till November 15 to avoid any untoward incidents taking place in the district. On November 12, in the evening at around 5 pm, SDPI organization held a symbolic protest in front of the Taluk office in B C Road. During the protest, some miscreants pelted stones on the protesters. The police resorted to lathi charge to control the situation.

Rain/Bi deserves to keep his stage name!!!!!!
This petition is to help bring a end to a lawsuit against Korean singer Rain(real name Jung Ji-Hoon.) He is being sued over copyright infringement of his stage name "Rain" by a band calling themselves "Rain-beatles experience". To my understanding, the band Rain changed their name from "Reign" to "Rain" and on their website they call themselves "Rain-the beatles experience". World famous Korean singer Rain has never changed his stage name and has be performing with it for years.To the people who don't know, "Bi" means Rain in Korean. The music the band Rain do are not even their own. Korean singer Rain does his own music. Rain/Bi is world famous and this may have something to do with the lawsuit against him. Rain/Bi has performed in the states before. Last year he did a sold out concert in NYC and was planning to do concerts throughout America. Due to the lawsuit the concerts in the states are being postponed.This broke millions of his fans hearts. The band Rain could have sued last year before his world famous status cam.They waited until his status was obtain and want to sue all of a sudden...weird!!If you feel that this lawsuit is for publicity and money SIGN IT!If you think this is worng SIGN IT! If you are a fan of Rain and want him to continue with his success in America SIGN THIS PETITION!!! Most importantly, this petition is to show that Rain/Bi deserves to keep his stage name.
