Buy 4 and pay 0.98 each shipped
Guys with cameras on their MQX's, can you give me some mounting ideas? I keep getting waves in the video from vibrations. My latest mounting attempt was sticking the camera to a gyro mounting pad directly on top of the PCB. It cut down on the waviness to the point that the video is at least watchable, but there's still some vibration. How is everyone else mounting their cameras?
Puffy lipos from just sitting?
I haven't flown my mQX since around Christmas time, but I always charge the 2 lipos I have for it after they are used. I use a 7 minute timer setting when I am flying to know when to change batteries.
Today I noticed the spare charged lipo not in the mQX looks just a little 'puffy'. It sits next to all my other lipos for my other helis, and all of them are fine. I pulled the other charged lipo out of the mQX for comparison, and it doesn't look as puffy as this second one does. It's not a lot, but just looks "not flat" on the sides if you know what I mean.
I've had lipos do this before in between uses, but they were multiple cell and puffed a lot more. It seems funny this one would puff just sitting there doing nothing. I don't like to take chances with these things, so I suppose I should discharge and recycle it as I usually do with worn out lipos. But I was wondering if anyone else has had one of their stock batteries do this while not being used?

Ideally, you would store them at about 3.8 V. If you want to store them at 4.2 V, put them in the refrigerator.
Never put your LiPos in the fridge or store them in the cold. Putting them in the fridge fully-charged will kill them, due to cold-wx overcharge damage. Full charge on a LiPo at 35 F is only around 3.8V. LiPos are never supposed to be stored below 50 F, even at storage voltage.

Lithium Polymer Battery LiPo Storage
Lithium Polymer Battery Storage Tips
Lipo batteries function via a chemical reaction that occurs inside their sealed foil envelopes. Providing power is a chemical reaction, while the aging/degrading process is another chemical reaction. If you remember back to high school chemistry, a chemical reaction doubles its speed for every ten degrees increase of ambient temperature. This is why lipos dont perform as well in cold weather. The cold slows down the chemical reaction process. But this fact can work in our favor when it comes to lipo storage. Reducing the storage temperature slows the chemical reaction of the aging/degrading process. There is a limit as to how cold is OK. Lipos dont want to be frozen solid, but keeping them cool during storage is most certainly in our favor. It turns out the typically household refrigerator (37 to 40 degrees) is the perfect storage place."
Safety & Usage Procedure for Lithium Polymer Batteries
Fall 2009
Texas A&M University
"3.2 Storage
LiPo Batteries shall be stored in accordance with the following requirements:
1. Batteries should be stored at room temperature between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit."
Lithium Polymer Battery LiPo Storage
"Just as heat is detrimental to the pack, allowing them to freeze will also damage them to the point where they are unusable. A refrigerator is a good place to store your packs because it can be set to stay between 40 and 45 degrees; just be sure to use a different refrigerator where you don't store food. Before you use or charge the batteries, let the packs come to room temperature."
I just want to add that i've had a good 80 cycles on one of my stock Eflite batteries...I've had this since before I got the MQX (came with a blade 120SR) and initially I didn't have a hobby grade charger and didn't really know the deal with storage of lipos so was generally charging them fully on the Eflite charger and leaving them like that for days at a time.
I also wasn't careful about over discharging them and this battery has been discharged to LVC on the 120 and the MQX at least ten times.
I store my batteries in my garage, which is generally fairly cold due to where I live and it being the only room on that level in my property.
So I would suggest that storing them in a cool temperature has at the very least negated some of the abuse that my earlier batteries have had.
I have a 5 Ah, six cell lipo that doesn't fly very much so I'm doing everything I can to make it last as long as possible. I read in one of the sources above that a lipo at storage voltage will have a shelf life of two years but be basically useless by that time if not used. For what we pay for some of these batteries, a lifetime warranty would be great!
Never store a fully-charged pack below 50 F. Doing so will damage it. Only packs that are at storage-charge can be stored below 50 F without damage.
From Thunder Power: http://thunderpowerrc.com/documents/Winter.pdf
From Hyperion:
Break-In Procedure - Hyperion G3 LiPo are robust and do not need a complicated break-in procedure. We recommend that the first 5 uses are limited to 3C charge rates, and that pilots use throttle management to avoid long periods of max-rate discharge for those first 5 flights. Note also the other care suggestions below. Those apply pretty generally to any LiPo pack, not just Hyperion G3...
Discharge - Analysis of damaged packs returned to us by users shows that nearly 70% have suffered from "capacity over-discharge" conditions. This simply means that the pack has been run too long, allowing resting voltage to fall too low. Such damage is visible upon cell inspection at the factory. Every type of battery has a minimum recommended discharge level. For example, even deep-cycle lead-acid batteries should not be regularly discharged down to less than 30%~40% of capacity. In the case of lithium polymer, it is best practice to always leave 20% of rated capacity in the pack at the end of a flight, with 10% as an absolute minimum.
To avoid capacity over-discharge, we recommend the setting of an appropriate cut-off voltage (LVC) AND the use of a transmitter flight timer. For LVC, the appropriate voltage cut-off depends in large on how high the max and average discharge rates are. For very high discharge applications, like F5B competition, something around 3.2V (or even lower) may be desirable. For standard aerobatic flight, start at 3.4V to 3.5V/cell, and set your timer to 4 minutes initially. Then note the capacity charged back IN to the pack on next charge. If the pack is 1000mAh, for example, there should be no more than 800mAh charged back in, meaning that 200mAh remained at the end of the flight (20% of capacity). If the charged IN capacity is less than 800mAh, set the timer a little longer, and check again the next flight. Of course, having the Hyperion Emeter II Remote Data Logger (RDU) makes this even easier, as you can more accurately log the exact mAh Out used each flight and make quick adjustments...
Charge - All Hyperion G3 packs can be charged at 6C rates, with no reduction in cycle life or performance. However, given the negligible difference in charge time for 6C rate vs. 5C, we believe 5C to be the ideal max charge rate for any high-performance Lipo pack. We strongly recommend the use of quality-brand charger, such as the Hyperion EOS lineup, as some generic brand chargers have been shown to use poor components, and may therefore not control charge voltage properly. Hyperion holds that 4.20V/cell (+/- 0.05V) is the proper terminal voltage for Hyperion G3 packs (and all other Lipo). Use of terminal voltages higher than this (for racing, etc) is not covered under warranty, and may be dangerous. (note: some G3 packaging may still state 5C max on front or rear. However, all G3 are rated for 6C max no-loss.)
PLEASE be sure that charging is always done such that in case of fire, no damage nor injury can occur. Keep LiPo well separated (minimum 2M or 7') from flammables, and always use a brick enclosure or "LiPo sack" to insure that any possible fire can be contained. We strongly discourage charging within or near living spaces, or inside automobiles. LiPo charging should be monitored closely at all times.
Temperature - For best performance and cycle life, your Hyperion G3 battery packs should have a resting temperature no lower than 10 °C (50 °F) at the beginning of a Flight, or beginning of Charging. Keep the batteries inside your vehicle or a warmer of some kind on very cold days, to insure best performance and life (this is true for any LiPo, not just G3). If you have any concerns about the temperature on cold days and you have Hyperion NET or DUO charger, you can use the TCS function set to 90% to help insure that the batteries do not suffer over-voltage condition due to the temperature.
Physical - Never cause indentations to the covering of the pack, or cells underneath. Do not use a ball-point pen to write on the pack, for example. Use a felt-tip pen with light pressure instead. When installing packs in the model, insure that they have the best protection possible from impact and pressure damage. Use foam casing if possible. Do not over-tighten hold down straps. Straps should be cloth (velcro) as opposed to hard plastic, such as zip ties. External damage to any Lipo pack can cause salts formations which reduce performance, and in more severe cases can cause fires during charging. Impact Damaged packs should be fully discharged, and disposed of immediately. See below for Hyperion Warranty, and Crash Replacement Program details.
Storage - Lipo should never be stored fully charged, or with less than 50% of capacity remaining. We strongly recommend Hyperion EOS chargers, as they have automatic STORE functions to insure that the packs are in the range of about 60%~70% capacity (3.78V~3.92V resting voltage per cell). After returning home for the day, simply use STORE MODE to achieve this automatically. Batteries are best stored in a cool, dry environment (2~20 °C or 37~68 °F).

Calorie Counts on Chocolate: Cool or Not?
The flip-flopping of whether NY eateries have to post calorie counts on their menu boards has got a lot of people thinking about where and when we want to see how many calories we're taking in.
A new concept has taken this idea literally by actually printing the calorie count right onto the chocolate bar, which means you'll see how many calories you're eating with each piece you break off. The idea is just that, an idea, and not yet available for purchase but it's still fascinating to think about. Me, I am not sure I'd want to know exactly how much each bite was costing me — seems to take the fun out of splurging on chocolate. Nonetheless, it's a cool idea. What do you guys think?

We admire her work, we admire her spirit, we admire her individuality – so it is only obvious that we want to know her better. Here are a few things you possibly don't know about Vidya Balan, writes Shubarna Mukerji Shu
Everyone knows of Vidya's love for languages; she thinks it is a most desirable trait in a person to want to speak correctly in various languages. While her first film BHALO THEKO and her friendship with Pradeep Sarkar have ensured that she is fluent in Bengali, she is most enamoured by the Islamic religion. She says, "The respect, with which they speak even to the youngest member of their community, is most inspiring."
Vidya is not vain, and always claims to choose comfort over fashion. Yet, the irony of it all was that her first marital squabble with her beloved husband, Siddharth took place because she was taking too long to get dressed for an event and the punctual Mr. Roy Kapur left without waiting for her!
So everyone has joked about Vidya Balan getting her very own SRK, in Siddharth Roy Kapur, but while she would love to be romanced by Shah Rukh Khan onscreen, it is Gulzar who she is completely floored by! Though she has coyly confessed it to the man himself, she confesses being pretty much tongue-tied around him and his presence apparently still flusters her.
Vidya Balan is one of the most revered actors of today, so it would be wise to take her word for it when she claims that her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur is a good actor. It is probably in his genes, for his gorgeous mother Salome Roy Kapur nee Aaron was not only Miss India but is a renowned dancer and has a film to her name too - TU HI MERE ZINDAGI (1965).
An average student, though extremely diligent, Vidya spent her childhood playing shadow to her elder sister Priya. But when it came to going out to play with the kids, she would let her elder sister go on. Simply because Vidya's mass of unruly tresses had the kids call her 'Medusa' and, looking up the mythical lady, Vidya wasn't very pleased with the comparison!
Vidya is extremely accident-prone. The poor girl has had more bumps on the head than she cares to remember and is often chided by Siddharth about it. However, even Mr. Roy Kapur was left speechless when he heard she had ended up with a fracture, dancing at home to the Ganpati-dhol that was being played in the neighbourhood!
Much has been said about Vidya's sense of dressing in the past, and while she has certainly grown beyond the critical babble, she has an unsaid agenda: to remind people just how sexy a sari is, and to boycott the colour blue (pale/sky blue in particular). According to Vidya, it is the weakest colour in the spectrum and appears lacklustre. The actress claims she would rather sit and watch the sunset and let the vibrant colours be encapsulated in the darkness of night, than have them fade into the dull blue of the brightest day-skies.

Americans are foolish when it comes to money, whether a borrower or an investor they be. No mortgage is too expensive or too creative, so long as the first monthly payment can be met.
RealtyTrac reports that more than half a million homes have gone into foreclosure this year, about the number of households (renter and homeowner) in New Hampshire. The trend is not slowing, meaning that about 1.2 million U.S. households are likely to enter foreclosure this year. Imagine every homeowner in New York City's five boroughs facing foreclosure.

Being young is no problem for Detroit Lakes girls' swimming and diving team
Being young doesn't mean being inexperienced -- just ask the Detroit Lakes girls' swimming and diving team.
Despite having just two seniors on the team, the Lakers can be considered a seasoned squad ready to make a move in the section meet.
"We're young still, with a pile of juniors (seven) on the team," said DL head coach Carol McCarthy. "They maybe young, but they are very experienced."
DL is also coming off a season where a couple of Lakers made some school history with good finishes in the Class 1A state meet.
Junior Melissa Paakh claimed the highest finish in the state in DLHS history, with a runner-up position in the 100-butterfly with a time of 56.03.
She also finished fifth in the 200 individual medley with a 2:10.82.
Paakh won't be content with her state silver, either, McCarthy said.
"Immediately after the state meet last year, Melissa said she wanted to go 54 (in the butterfly)," the DL coach said. "It was amazing she cut off two full seconds to get to 56.
"She is getting smarter through experience and her cross-training is improving her physical ability. She just has to polish up on some small details to improve even more."
Senior Shayna Dugger has also made the state diving meet her ending statement the last three years, as she finished fifth overall with a score of 307.4.
In fact, the Laker diving team -- headed by coach Bobbi Jo Koons -- had three state qualifiers last year, and all are returning.
Juniors Taryn Kobriger and Bre Halbur each made state, making the DL diving squad a very formidable one entering 2009.
"In the larger meets, having four top divers (freshman Miranda Olson included) makes for some big points for the team," McCarthy said. "It's a great diving group, and Bobbi has done a great job."
Junior Libby Larson has qualified for the state 500 event the last two years. She finished 20th overall last year with a time of 5:37.12, even after she was accidentally clipped in the eye during the National Anthem by a coach from another team with the corner of his program.
"Last year was obviously disappointing for Libby, but that was not in her control," McCarthy said of the incident. "We are tweaking her stroke a little, but she already has such a strong stroke."
The 400-relay team had a school record-breaking time in the sections and all four return, including Larson, Paakh, juniors Ashtin Spies and Andrea Weiss.
"They had a phenomenal time last year and I would like to see them go 57 seconds or less this year," McCarthy said.
Senior Kayla Lang will be on of DL's top backstrokers, after having a very good showing in the sections, despite it being her first time in the event.
She also will help anchor the sprinting events, as well as the 200 freestyle relay.
Weiss is the Lakers' key 50 freestyle sprinter and she will be going for the 23-year-old DLHS record during the course of the schedule, McCarthy said.
Spies and a number of freshmen will also be point contributors in the relays and mid-distance races.
A host of younger swimmers will fill in the team, making it a deep and talented one.
But one aspect will need to be followed throughout the team for the season to be as successful as they want it to be.
"The key to the season is focus," McCarthy said. "It happened at the section meet, and now I have a reference (of the section performance) to keep pulling them back and get refocused."
The Lakers open their season at home with a Pentathlon Invite Monday at the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center, starting at noon.

Germany's Bavarian State Police force is benefiting from a new retrofit package offered by Airbus Helicopters, in which the force's previously-built EC135 helicopters are upgraded to the newest performance, handling and safety standards of Airbus' H135 product line. The force's helicopters are flown to Airbus Helicopters' production facility in Donauwörth, Germany—where the H135 is produced. When fully upgraded, each aircraft has an enlarged main rotor with improved blade profiles, lateral instead of front-mounted engine air intakes, augmented engine capacities, an extension of the horizontal stabilizer's span and removal of its endplates, and a mini bumper in place of the tail skid. Three of the force's H135s have been returned and are currently in service, with the remaining five upgrades scheduled for the coming months.

Who can actually even see your IP?
Okay so we all know what an IP is, and that essentially it can't be traced to you or anyone specifically unless the authorities are involved and the internet provider is contacted to give the name/ address of the IP number, but how does law enforcement get the IP in the first place? From what I understand, the only way you can find out someone's IP is if you get them to click on a link, run it through a tracker, and then you'll have it. So is law enforcement able to skip that step and look straight at your IP?
And then if the person catches wind of the investigation, they can delete the sight and just change their IP by spoofing the MAC?
I'm trying to catch an offensive poster on my own without having to involve law enforcement, but he's deleted the site and I'm certain has changed his IP

Your service provider assigns you an IP and logs when it is assigned and when it is retired. That is what makes it traceable. In addition to an IP and mac address, you have what is called a 'physical address', which is the physical connection, the telephone line or wireless transceiver, which you are connected to. And of course any server you connect to knows your IP and may also log it, and the time that it accesses the server.Welcome to http://www.myphotowizard.net

Abu Ghaith appeared alongside Osama bin Laden in a 2001 video in which they took responsibility for the 9/11 attacks and warned of more.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Senator Lindsey Graham doesn't have a great track record, but when he's right, he's right, and in this case, he's clearly right. Obama is subverting national security in every area that he can and trying to de-militarize the War on Terror by treating it like a civilian criminal matter is something that he has been trying to do for a while.
Even as government officials applauded the arrest of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and an al-Qaida spokesman, his transport to the United States stirred a debate among lawmakers who appeared caught by surprise by the news.
Abu Ghaith was apprehended, transported to New York and charged with conspiracy to kill Americans, according to court documents unsealed Thursday. Abu Ghaith appeared alongside his father-in-law in a 2001 video in which they took responsibility for the 9/11 attacks and warned of more.
Abu Ghaith's trial will be one of the first prosecutions of senior al-Qaida leaders in the United States. Upon taking office in 2009, President Barack Obama said more foreign terror suspects should be charged in American federal courts, as part of his goal to close Guantanamo Bay.
Republicans in Congress would like to keep Guantanamo open and have strongly opposed bringing terror suspects on U.S. soil.
"We believe the administration's decision here to bring this person to New York City, if that's what's happened, without letting Congress know is a very bad precedent to set," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who held a press conference with Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H, Thursday.
"And when we find somebody like this, this close to bin Laden and the senior al-Qaida leadership, the last thing in the world we want to do, in my opinion, is put them in civilian court. This man should be in Guantanamo Bay," Ayotte said.
"So we're putting the administration on notice," said Graham. "We think that sneaking this guy into the country, clearly going around the intent of Congress when it comes to enemy combatants, will be challenged."
Republicans have been fumbling the foreign policy debate for a while by embracing the Arab Spring and refusing to take a position on Afghanistan.
This is a clear and simple area where Republicans can set themselves apart from the Democrats. Terrorism is not a crime problem. It is a war being carried out against America. And those who engage in it should not be given an ACLU limo, but a trip over near Cuba and all the water they can drink.

The number of police community support officers patrolling the area's streets will be protected until 2016, it has been confirmed.
The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire, Mark Burns-Williamson, has agreed a funding package for PCSOs in Leeds, which means they are here to stay, for the time being.
Coun Keith Wakefield, Leader of Leeds City Council welcomed the news in light of "budgetary" challenges the council were facing.
"I am pleased therefore that having listened closely to our case, the Police and Crime Commissioner has agreed to contribute to the part funding of our PCSOs over the next two years.
"The PCSOs play a very important role in combating anti-social behaviour, and this funding will help ensure that their visible presence remains in Leeds," said CounWakefield.
West Yorkshire Police has already been forced to find savings of £64m after its policing grant was reduced by 20 per cent.
And this year it will have to cut its spending by a further £18m to balance the books.
Mr Burns-Williamson said: "PCSOs working as part of our neighbourhood police teams with police constables provide an invaluable service in our communities and I have pledged to protect neighbourhood policing which is a key priority in my Police and Crime Plan.
"I understand the pressures that councils and partners are under with severe government cuts to all our budgets and I am working closely with council leaders to secure their level of funding.
"But it is not just about protecting the numbers of frontline officers and staff but about making sure we deliver a better service in our communities by working with our partner agencies. This is important work to make sure our communities are safer and feel safer."

2013 NHL Draft preview: Who will Kings, Ducks get?
The NHL Draft takes place today in New Jersey with the Anaheim Ducks having six selections and the Los Angeles Kings getting 10 picks.
For Kings GM Dean Lombardi and company, this year's draft could be like waiting in line to see Santa Claus the day before Christmas. The Kings traded their No. 1 pick in this year's draft to the Columbus Blue Jackets as part of the deal that brought Jeff Carter and an eventual Stanley Cup to Los Angeles.
Although the Kings have 10 selections in the draft, they won't be making their first pick until the 57th selection.
The Kings will likely be in a wait and see mode as it will be a couple of hours before Lombardi gets his chance to walk up to the podium and announce which young player will have the opportunity to wear the black and white.
Though all the projected "blue chippers"" will have been drafted by the time the Kings' turn rolls around, there is precedence in Kings history proving that the best players are not always drafted at the top. You don't have to look any further than Kings Hall of Famer (and current Kings president of business operations) Luc Robitaille who was drafted in the 9th round, 171st overall.
Back in 2005, the Kings drafted Jonathan Quick in the third round (72nd overall) and in 2007, they selected Alec Martinez and Dwight King in the fourth round. In all, 10 of the Kings 23 players currently on their roster are homegrown.
The 2008 draft landed the Kings Drew Doughty and Slava Voynov. In 2005, the Kings said hello to Anze Kopitar and Quick while 2003 brought them captain Dustin Brown.
Barring any last minute wheeling and dealing, at pick No. 57, the Kings should be able to shore up their depth up front with a potential top six forward. Anthony Duclair, who played in the Quebec Junior League, and Zach Sanford from Auburn, New Hampshire, are both skilled forwards who could be available when it's time for the Kings to make their pick. At 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Sanford has the size that fits the Kings mold while Duclair, who has been compared to Marian Gaborik and Alexander Semin, checks in at 5-11, 180.
Meanwhile, the Ducks own the 26th pick in Sunday's draft.
With the Ducks' Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf locked up long term for big money, GM's around the league continue to inquire on the availability of forward Bobby Ryan, who has two years left on his deal for just over $5 million.
While Ducks GM Bob Murray claims he is not actively trying to trade Ryan, Murray is always willing to listen to offers. The question remains are the Ducks, who are in need of help both down the middle and on the blueline, better off trading Ryan to shore up thier other needs.
If Anaheim was to move Ryan and his 30-plus goals a year, finding his replacement would be no easy task.
Since Ryan was selected second overall in the 2005 draft, the Ducks have yet to have a first-round selection with significant impact. Cam Fowler, the 12th pick in 2010, has had flashes of being an elite defenseman and Emerson Etem, picked 29th in the same draft, seemed to make a breakthrough in last year's playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings.
If the Ducks are to trade Ryan, one possibility to fill that void could be Anthony Mantha from the Quebec Junior League. Mantha was one of three players this past season to score 50 goals in junior hockey. He has the size, at 6-4, 190, and a rocket for a shot.
If Mantha is off the board at the 26 pick, the Ducks could target someone like Ian McCoshen (Waterloo, USHL). At 6-2, 207, McCoshen has been projected to be a shutdown defenseman that could play 20 plus minutes a game.
It will be interesting to see what Santa Claus brings the Ducks and Kings' GMs on Sunday.

Chapter 18 : Leaving the Past Behind
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 61
Background: Font color:
At a quarter past eight, Hermione was down in the Head Dorms, waiting to see if anyone was going to go with her to the Headmaster's office. As if on cue, Lily came down stairs and Remus along with Peter came into the dorm. Still, no movement came from either of Hermione's beaus. After fifteen minutes of silent waiting, the quartet made their way up to Dumbledore's study, nervously anticipating the morning events.
Hermione smacked herself mentally for the goings-on from the previous night. While she loved the support of Lily, Remus and Peter, she couldn't help but be disheartened that neither James nor Sirius were coming to see her go. Maybe it would be simpler; but she needed them now more than ever. It was unfair that she couldn't see them one last time - she was the one who would remember them!
To her, they were acting immature and childish, and sure, her actions could be viewed the same, but in the end it all came down to her choice, her decision and her sacrifice. She would have to pay for her actions, whereas they would have no repercussions. They had no reason to complain. None.
"Hermione," came Lily's voice over Hermione's thoughts. "Are you absolutely certain-"
"If they don't come, that's their choice," Hermione answered shortly. "I can't keep worrying about them; I've got things going on in my own life."
For once during this whole situation, and the sadness it brought, she did not cry. Why cry over the inevitable? Why make it that much harder on herself and everyone around her? Why show remorse for those who couldn't care less about her actions? No tears today - that was final.
"Bumblebee," Lily spoke to the gargoyle. It leapt aside, leaving a grand set of stairs for climbing. Lily pushed Hermione onto the steps so she could go first.
"Lily, why are you being so-" Remus started but was cut off when Lily put her finger to her lips. She was showing Hermione that it had to be done. It wasn't to be mean, but it was the way to do it. Like ripping off a band-aid - get it over with quickly.
"She has to do this, and I'm helping her," she hissed out of the side of her mouth. Remus nodded and Peter slinked up behind them.
Just as they reached the top of the stairs, the Headmasters door opened, revealing a content looking Dumbledore and a jolly potion-mixing Slughorn.
Hermione made her way into the room slowly, eyeing the potion with anxiety. This was it, she was going back to the way things should be. A part of her was excited to see her friends. Harry, Ron and Ginny were flashing like photographs in her minds eye. It was almost unbearable knowing that she had been without their friendship for the last few weeks. And, yet, somehow she felt them near her wherever she went. Somehow, it felt that they were in her heart, in her mind and in her soul, watching over her while she was away. Even though that was impossible.
And, another part of her was sad to leave what she had built here. It was complicated, and broken, but it felt right; she had amazing equals here; people that were in her intelligence ranking and actually liked her without tormenting her.
She wanted to cry, but she knew better. It wasnt worth her tears. This was what had to be done. The best part was that she wouldnt have to see James or Sirius face before she left. She could imagine it now, their sadness and their anguish, after everything she put them through. Sighing, she realized that she never should have been here in the first place.
Hermione, are you ready to proceed? Dumbledore asked while extending his hand toward the potion. Professor Slughorn assumes the potion should be ready in five minutes.
Y-yes, Hermione squeaked. She was nervous.
Lily grabbed Hermiones hand and spun her around. Youll be fine. Just think, you get to be best friends with my son!
Hermione smiled genuinely. Yes, she got to be back with Harry, and Ron and Ginny. But, she wasnt sure how she felt about it. She could have been Harrys mum! Thank you, Lily, she said unconvincingly.
Remus moved in to hug Hermione when Lily moved away. Thank you for everything, Hermione, he whispered as he held her. Im going to do the right thing, you know?
Hermione sighed. You wont remember.
Ill have a familiarity. He smiled and winked at her. She couldnt help but smile back at him. He was making her feel better about what she was doing.
Peter walked up to Hermione. I dont know why you hate me, but Im sorry for whatever I did.
You were just being Peter. Dont apologize. Things are okay, Hermione reassured him. It felt weird, but somehow, she was understanding Peter a bit better. After watching him for the last few weeks, she knew that he had done what was right by him. It was cowardly and horrible, but it was who he was.
Alright, Professor. Lets get it over with. Hermione let out a deep breath and let some color come back to her paled face.
Horace, please pour the potion over here, Dumbledore pointed to the space in front of Hermione.
On my count of three, Miss Granger, he instructed.
Hermione nodded and looked to her three supporters for strength. Peter looked scared, Lily looked approving, and Remus looked sad.
One two
But Dumbledore was cut off by two men barging into the office, like frantic beasts. They stopped as they got inside of the threshold. Both were panting like mad, clutching their chests and trying to catch their breath.
Sir, Sirius wheezed. Sorry were late.
We Peeves, he held us up, James lied. He looked to Hermione in apology and received a small smile in return. Is there still time?
Dumbledore cleared his throat. We have only moments before the potion goes bad. Please make haste with what needs to be done.
James walked up to Hermione and wrapped his arms around her waist. He breathed in her scent for the last time as the tears began welling up in his eyes. I cant believe Ill never remember you, he murmured.
Youll have comfort in Lily in no time, James, Hermione forced out. She shoved James back lightly and looked in his hazel eyes that were rapidly getting redder. I do love you, you know?
He nodded. Be safe there, okay. And tell my son well, tell him hi from dad. James stepped away from Hermione and stood next to Lily, Remus and Peter.
Sirius stepped forward, a shameful look on his stone face. Hermione I..
Its alright. I know, she answered before he even finished. Before she knew it, he had engulfed her in a hug.
Dont get into too much trouble in the future, okay? Sirius joked as he squeezed her.
Ill try. Its sort of hard after the legacy you Marauders left.
Dumbledore coughed, signaling that the potion was about to be useless. Miss Granger-
Coming sir, she replied as she locked eyes with Sirius. Behind those cement colored eyes was harbored feelings she had never seen before. It was then that she knew every word he had ever spoke to her was true. She formed words with her mouth, not wanting to say out loud what she was thinking. Ill remember for the both of us.
Sirius looked to the floor, hiding the pain in his eyes. Bye, Mione.
Good bye, everyone, she said loudly as she stepped toward the potion.
Okay, on my count again, Miss Granger, Dumbledore asserted. One Two Th-
I cant do it! Hermione shouted as she jumped back, spun around and ran to Sirius. Before she reached him, her arms flung out to circle around his neck. She was all but climbing on him. Sirius enveloped her and held her tightly against him as she sobbed into his chest. I dont Sirius, she cried. I don't want to go back.
Sirius soothed her by caressing her hair. He knew that she was going to have a hard time going through with this. But, ultimately, this is what she wanted, and he was going to help her the best way he knew how. Hermione, this is what you have to do, he assured her. You need to do this for yourself. He felt his heart break at his words.
I cant. Sirius. she was sobbing so hard into his shoulder that it was making Sirius tremble. She was shaking and wouldnt loosen her grip around his neck. I want to be with you Please. I change my mind. Tears were soaking through Sirius shirt, he could feel them as they fell from her eyes.
He looked around for support, and everyone wore the same sympathetic face. James, at first with an emotionless expression, had tilted his head just a mere millimeter in recognition of what was going on around him. Lily stepped closer to James and took his hand in hers. Remus had his hand on the small of Lilys back, ushering her toward James.
When Sirius caught sight of James hand in Lilys, something clicked in his brain. He knew what had to be done. Sirius began speaking to Hermione honestly, in a warm, comforting voice. I love you, Hermione. But, you have to go back. There is a war going on, a war that you do not have the power to stop no matter what you do.
Sirius, she bawled as she embraced him even tighter. I love you, I love you, I love you Please, dont. Dont tell me to go. I want to be with you.
You are needed in your time; thats why you were there, he responded to her cries, still soothing her by stroking her back. They need you. I need you there.
But, she sniffed as she looked into his shadowed eyes. I need you. I cant pretend that we never Please, she begged. She was fighting going. Now was her break down, though she never wanted it to happen.
Youll remember for the both of us, Sirius added stubbornly, pretending as though he didnt hear her words. Just... you have to do this. You have to go back. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that.
Dumbledore coughed again, the potion was near its final whim. If Hermione was to go back, she needed to do it now. Its time.
Sirius pulled her toward the potion and cupped her face in his hands. You know what you have to do. Please, do it.
Hermione bit her lip as tears cascaded down her face, mixing with her mouth and dripping off of her chin. You dont want me here? After we I gave you my
You were a Sirius asked, not wanting the answer to his question. When she nodded, felt his world crumble just a little bit more. He softened more, and understood her need to stay. And, though her words were true whether she had been a virgin or not, Sirius felt more humble toward her. Hermione, I love you, and Ill never love anyone else.
Hermione lost what little presense of mind she had. Her shaking hands balled into tiny fists. No, youll die, she sobbed as she beat her fists against his chest. "You're just going to die! You just...die!" The last word, the scream that echoed after it, was painful for both Hermione, whose throat was now aching, and the people around her, whose ears were now ringing. She whispered horsely, as she brought her hands down to her sides. Youll die and Ill never see you again.
One , Dumbledore started counting, this time for the final time. Two
I love you Sirius, Hermione pleaded. Dont you love me?
More than you know, he assured her. While she had been hitting him, he just stood there and winced. She needed to let out her frustration, and he knew she didn't want to hurt him. She loved him, just as he loved her. I love you more than you know.
Hermione stepped backward into the potion, her wet face looking at everyone in the room before locking eyes with Sirius. She hated that he was right, and it tore her apart to say goodbye, but as much as she hated to admit it, he was right.
Ill remember, she whispered as she was lost through the silvery liquid from whence she came.
A/N - I have good news everyone! Chapter 18 is not the last chapter of Complicated Hexagon! I decided to split the last chapter into two parts, that way I could keep the focus where it was needed. And, I didn't really leave you on a cliffy - the evilness in me wore off a tad ;) Stay tuned for Chapter 19 - Reunion. *huggles all reviewers* ~Jessi

The pocket rocket has matured. The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is loaded with performance features, but it also can be fitted out with the sort of creature comforts common to Grandpa's Cadillac DTS.
The Evo is based on the Lancer, a compact four-door sedan renowned for its reliability and competence, that few would call sporty. It competes with the likes of the Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Corolla and Chevrolet Cruze. But add a turbocharged 291-horsepower engine, all-wheel drive, performance engineering, and advanced suspension designs and electronics, and you have a Lancer that has become all it can be.
Our 2013 Evolution was quite unlike the first stock pocket rocket we ever drove, a Subaru STi. The 300-horsepower, Impreza-based STi was almost shockingly Spartan; it didn't even have a radio. The message from Subaru was unmistakable: If you drive this car, you'd better pay attention because it will get away from you.
Our Evo, by contrast, had a navigation system, satellite radio, 710-watt premium stereo with controls on the steering wheel, heated seats, cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers and even sound dampening enhancement. The sticker price for the Evo starts in the mid-to-high $30s; equipped as ours was, the bottom line was more than $45,000. Obviously, the youthful car guys who created the pocket-rocket genre aren't exactly the target market for today's Evo.
Consumer Reports magazine says the Evo "excels on the track, but it is too frenetic to use as a daily driver." Well, we used ours as a commuter car, never got within 50 miles of a track … and never got a ticket. Still, we get CU's point. The Evo wants to go faster than the road designs and lurking police officers would allow.
Our Evo was equipped with the Twin Clutch Sportronic Shift transmission, the same unit that came with the Lancer Ralliart we test-drove a few months ago. Purists will prefer the 5-speed manual shifter, though most would agree a 6-speed would be better. The twin-clutch unit felt more at home in the Evo than in the Ralliart, possibly because the Evo's 54-horsepower advantage obscured the transmission's worst traits. We found ourselves using the paddle shifters almost constantly in the Ralliart, less often in the Evo.
Competitors include Subaru's STi, the BMW 1-Series and the MazdaSpeed3.
Compared with the Ralliart and conventional Lancer, the Evo has a stiffer ride, vastly more power and far superior handling. Otherwise, it has many of the same desirable qualities the Lancer has, aside from its lower fuel economy and significantly smaller trunk. Additionally, while the Lancer has been designated a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the heavier Ralliart and Evo fell short. They earned an Acceptable rating, rather than Good, because they didn't perform as well in the roof-strength test.
You might say the stylish, well-equipped, premium-priced Evo is today's pocket rocket, all grown up.

Fiery Doritos Locos Tacos Coming 8/22
Hot off the success of Doritots Locos Tacos and the Cool Ranch variety, Taco Bell is set to unleash its newest flavor on August 22nd, Fiery Doritos Locos Tacos. Presumably, they'll be a much spicier variety :
"Launching the first two Doritos Locos Tacos were obvious: Nacho Cheese is the top-selling Doritos flavor and our fans asked us for Cool Ranch. For the third DLT, we heard our customers as they told us they wanted something spicy and with flavor. So, in another Taco Bell first, we partnered with Frito-Lay to create a DLT that delivers heat, but with a twist, and is available exclusively at Taco Bell. Mirroring the flavors of a regional spicy Doritos chip, we made a few changes based on customer feedback – including the use of a red shell and a more descriptive name – to create Fiery DLT."
So if you need to light a fire under your ass to get you to the toilet quicker, it appears Taco Bell has a solution for that. We're big fans of the original and will stick with our regular Nacho Cheese DLTs, but there is certainly a market for the Cool Ranch and Fiery varieties. The new Fiery DLT will be available nationally – $1.39 regular (170 calories; 10g total fat) and $1.69 for a supreme (200 calories; 12g total fat).

Every offseason, there's pressure - lots of pressure - on NBA general managers to go out and find enough talent to compete.
Just imagine that pool of talent being smaller with players defecting to Europe and China.
And the time frame to pursue free agents prior to the start of the season? Not only is it cut down, but it actually starts the same day as training camp.
Welcome to NBA free agency 2011, where GMs will be challenged in ways they never have before.
Few teams have as many holes to fill as the Celtics.
They currently have six players under contract, and a seventh, Jeff Green, is a restricted free agent that the C's have repeatedly said they want to re-sign.
Green shares that same sentiment.
"I would love to be back," he told CSNNE.com recently. "But the one thing this lockout has taught all of us players; this is a business first. So we'll see how everything plays out."
Boston also plans to sign its two draft picks from Purdue, JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore.
That would give the Celtics nine players, with the need to add at least four more.
Ainge said earlier that because the C's have so many needs, there's not necessarily a pecking order for what positions they will target first.
"I know it's a cliche, but where we are, we really do have to take the best players because when you look at our numbers, there's a need for us at a lot of positions," Ainge said.
And as far as the short period of time to wheel and deal, Ainge isn't overly concerned about that, either.
"We're no different than anybody else," he said.
He's right.
Just like every other team, Ainge's decision-making will be under even greater scrutiny now. Because putting a championship-caliber team together has to be done quicker than ever.
And in doing so, the so-called GM geniuses will have a chance to prove they are indeed as good as advertised.

DAVID MOYES is confident that he will not be sacked despite a woeful debut season in charge of Manchester United.
United suffered their latest disappointment in a wretched season on Sunday when they lost 3-0 to old foes Liverpool at Old Trafford.
That defeat left United seventh in the Premier League, 14 points adrift of the top four with just nine matches remaining.
Loading article content
It is understood the United board are not considering replacing Moyes at this moment in time, but the crucial support of the club's fans will surely disappear if results and performances do not improve.
Moyes came out fighting against suggestions he is living on borrowed time, telling a press conference ahead of tonight's Champions League last-16 second leg against Olympiacos at Old Trafford: ''My future has not changed one bit.
''I have got a great job, I know exactly the direction I want to go in.'' Moyes said he had not had any discussions with the board about his future, but he remains convinced United will stick by him.
Recent conversations with his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson, and other leading members of the board have given the former Everton manager the feeling that he remains secure in his position.
''(Ferguson) has been incredibly supportive,'' Moyes said ''I speak with him regularly and I see him at the games.
''I always have a few minutes with him. He is very supportive.
He told me before I came in it was a difficult job but he is always here to help.
''Him, (director) David Gill, (vice-chairman) Ed (Woodward), all the board are very supportive.
''The biggest assurance is that they let me get on with the job, we never discuss it (Moyes' position).
''We talk about the future, we are making big plans for years going forward.
''That is why they gave me a six-year contract because this is not a club that works on a short-term vision, it works on a long-term vision.'' Nothing typified United's underwhelming season as much as the 2-0 defeat to Olympiacos three weeks ago.
The Greeks had lost all four previous meetings with United, but a team containing unheralded Greek players, ageing South Americans and an Arsenal loanee had no trouble rolling over Moyes' team.
Only five teams in the last 22 years have overturned a deficit of two goals or more in the competition.
The last time United achieved such a feat was 30 years ago against Barcelona.
The odds may be stacked against his team, but Moyes has not given up hope of qualifying for the quarter-finals even though Sunday's defeat to Liverpool piled even more pressure on the manager.
''When you lose in the fashion we did to one of our biggest rivals, there is always a lot of disappointment,'' the Scot said.
''But the first thing I mentioned to the players after the game was that we need to start giving something back, we need to start performing together to get a performance and give (the fans) a night to remember.
''It is not something that has happened a lot but it is something we believe we have to make happen.
''The players know they can play better and hopefully they can show it tomorrow night.'' Moyes will be without defenders Chris Smalling (hamstring) and Jonny Evans (calf) while Juan Mata is cup-tied.

Class Acts: The $212,000,000 School
The new Episcopal now stands as the Versailles of Philadelphia private-school campuses. And yet the difference between it and what other schools are building is only in scale, not quality or ambition. Germantown Friends' new science building, on which construction began last fall, will include, among other green features, geothermal heating and cooling and a "dashboard" in the lobby at which students can monitor the building's energy use. Baldwin's new athletic facility features a six-lane pool, a fitness center, and an indoor running track. And Germantown Academy's master campus plan calls for new middle- and upper-school buildings as well as outdoor classrooms and wetland areas that will better connect students with the environment. Frankly, it's impossible to look at what's being built and planned and not find yourself in awe of the opportunities they present to kids. The driving mantra of the projects seems to be less No Child Left Behind than No Child Left Without Anything That Might Hinder His or Her Eventual World Domination.
"Clearly, I would say facilities are not the most important thing in a school," says Ham Clark. "The key ingredient is the faculty. … " His voice trails off, and he pauses momentarily. "But I look around at some of these facilities and say, 'Wow.'"
IT'S EASY TO SEE all this as an exercise in extravagance and indulgence, particularly given that the knock on today's kids is that few seem to know anything. In a 2006 survey, for example, 60 percent of teens couldn't find Iraq on a map, and one-third couldn't pinpoint Louisiana. (Which suggests that maybe the answer to our education woes isn't jillion-dollar athletic centers or outdoor classrooms, but … how about maps? Would a few atlases kill anyone?)
The other dark view is that what's going on here is less about education than the business of education. In this, there is undoubtedly some truth. After all, private schools compete for elite students not only with each other, but with strong suburban school districts like Radnor, Lower Merion, Upper Dublin and others. Prospective parents want to know what they'll get for their 25 grand that they aren't going to get for free at the public school down the street. A shiny new science building isn't bad for closing the deal.
"I think there's a little bit of both," education consultant Mark Edwards says when I ask whether the building boom is being driven by mission or marketing. Based in Boston, Edwards has worked with several Philly private schools on their marketing plans, and he says it's always touchy ground. On the one hand, private-school administrators are high-minded enough that the idea of "selling" their school is distasteful; on the other, they're practical enough to know they're competing in a marketplace. New buildings, Edwards says, represent an acceptable middle ground: good for education and for the institution's image.

Watch This Funny Short About Finding a Phone Number By Trial and Error
How can you speak to your new romantic interest if you've lost part of their phone number? By ringing every possible remaining combination, of course.
How can you speak to your new romantic interest if you've lost part of their phone number? By ringing every possible remaining combination, of course.
Yesterday, AT&T announced it was readying a new feature that will allow you to use one phone number across multiple devices. Perhaps predictably, T-Mobile says it's also working to provide a similar service.
WhatsApp, the Instant Message client beloved of people too cheap to text, appears to contravene international privacy laws because of the way it forces users to grant it access to their entire address book.
Your phone number is just a string of meaningless digits you have to memorize. What a bummer! Wouldn't it be better if your phone number was a username?! That's the grand, horrible plan behind Sprint's new StarStarMe service, and it won't be long before it goes bad.
Do you remember the olden days of losing a phone? Crap! You lost all your contacts! What do you do? You probably didn't have a smartphone and you probably didn't sync your contacts, instead, you went to Facebook and told your friends to give you their numbers. Those phone numbers are still on Facebook.
Whenever anyone got a phone call from 1111111111, it wasn't a telemarketer, it wasn't because their phone was broken, it wasn't a call from God, instead, it was the New York Times calling. Anytime anyone made a call from inside the NY Times headquarters, 'The Ones' would show up on the caller ID.

Obie Trice - Making Dough
Obie Trice's Bottoms Up LP has been delayed for so long that those addicted to the sometime Booth fave's spirited sound may be starting to experience a touch of delerium tremens. Though there's still no word on the album, Trice-aholics will be happy to hear that the Motown mic-destroyer's back with a little something to quell the shakes. The artist's first feature since November's Anymore, unreleased joint Making Dough finds Trice spitting about – what else? – the accumulation of currency. MTK handles production duties, crafting a beat that careens between a gritty, organ-driven groove and a cartoonish, oddly addictive chorus, Trice casts an approving eye over the cash he's amassed to date, touting his skills and brushing off the haters in between admiring his stacks. He even takes a moment to address fans who have been fiending for new material, spitting " I got my own life outside this here bidness," but assuring them, "I didn't disappear like a blemish, I'm here." Does that mean the album's coming sooner than later? We can only hope – in the meantime, keep it locked to the Booth for details as they arise.

At NMU, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to concentrate fully on their studies and to graduate in a timely manner, with minimal debt, in the best possible position to find a job and to prosper.
One key to reaching these goals is to increase private financial support.
Today, students and their families face economic challenges not seen in decades. Eighty percent of our students rely on some sort of financial aid. Over forty percent hold down a job while taking classes. Many are the first in their families to attend college. Sixty-five percent of our 2010 graduates left NMU burdened by an average debt of over $18,000.
But it is not enough to simply put more money in pockets.
We have a responsibility to our students and their families to continually raise the level and value of an NMU education.
To do this, we must continue to build a dynamic, competitive portfolio of financial resources that will attract outstanding faculty and high-achieving students by rewarding excellence, innovation and service. These "best and brightest" will energize the campus community, drive the university to higher and higher levels of distinction and increase the value of a Northern education for all our graduates.
The Campaign for the Students of Northern Michigan University goes straight to the heart of addressing excellence and opportunity at NMU by expanding assistance, supporting scholarships, funding the development of innovative academic programming and by enhancing our ability to attract gifted students and the finest faculty.
We know when our students graduate they'll go on to do great things. Their resilience, determination, independence and commitment to the health and welfare of their neighbors exemplify the character of the Upper Peninsula and the values of Northern Michigan University. Toughened by northern winters, tempered by public service and armed with the critical thinking skills that a four-year college education provides, our students don't succeed through privilege or luck - they grab opportunity and make success happen.
All we have to do is give them a chance.

" Address: Wrexham Road / Pulford / Chester / CH4 9DG "
If given the option, I would always choose a nice, relaxed pub lunch over the formal atmosphere of a sophisticated restaurant. It is for this reason that, when asked by my monster-in-law...oops sorry - my mother-in-law - to recommend somewhere that we could go and have a celebratory lunch for her 80th birthday, I suggested the bar situated within the Grosvenor Arms Pulford Hotel, as I had eaten there before and both the food and atmosphere had been lovely.
So, the big day arrived and our little party of six arrived at the hotel just prior to 12 noon, which is the time our table was booked for. We had starved ourselves all morning and were looking forward to some tasty lunch.
We booked in at the bar, only to be met with a quizzical look and a shake of the head from the bar manager which had a distinct whiff of "nope, we have no table booked for you". With that, he disappeared to do a little detective work and it came to light that mumsy-in-law had booked the wrong eatery - apparently, we were booked in at Ciro's Brasserie for a Sunday carvery. Just as well I had gone for the 'posh' look! My initial concern was whether they would have anything suitable for Matthew, who is only four. He usually prefers his roast dinner to chicken nuggets and chips, so I hoped everything would be ok, but I would never intentionally take a young child into such a formal dining setting.
As we entered the Brasserie via the bar (which is where we had expected to be eating) I could see that it was very pleasant on the eye, and light and airy. And then we were met by, who I assume, was the restaurant manageress, who gave us a slight hint of a smile and said in no uncertain terms "we need the table back by 1.45 ok?" OK???? Now, I am not usually one to pick fault for the sake of picking fault, but I did not feel that this was an appropriate way to speak to paying customers. I must admit that, if this had been my party and I was greeted in that manner, I would have told her to cancel the booking and would have walked out there and then. Unfortunately, it wasn't my decision so we followed her through to our table and were basically left to choose from the fairly limited menu.
Eventually, a young waitress came to take our drinks order, but as it took her about ten minutes to deliver the drinks to us, we could only hope that the rest of the service was a little quicker - at this rate, the delightful Mrs Manageress would not be getting her table back for her next booking.
Despite the curt reception we received on arrival, I must say that the ambience of the brasserie was very pleasant. It reminded me of sitting in a large conservatory with plenty of light coming in and ample space between the tables. Ciro's Brasserie is allegedly based on a Mediterranean theme, but pleasant as it was, I am at a loss to see where the Mediterranean approach comes in.
As I mentioned earlier, the serving of the drinks was quite slow. Things were only to get worse! We were left a further 10 minutes after the drinks were delivered before anyone approached us to see if we were ready to order our starters. Before ordering, we asked the young lady if there were any children's alternatives, only to be met with a blank look and a vacant shake of the head. "No, only the carvery..." were the only words that she could mutter. Ah well, onwards and upwards! We ordered our starters, none of which were overly complicated, but which took nearly 20 minutes to arrive. That 1.45 slot was getting nearer and nearer, and things weren't looking too good as to whether we would be able to give the table back in time.
After we had finished our starters, it seemed to be touch and go whether anyone would come and clear our plates, so we wandered over to the carvery to choose our main meal, by which time someone had finally come to clear our table. Queuing at the carvery serving area was fairly uneventful, and this particular section did seem well organised. The food was piping hot, but the plates were cold so this cooled the food off slightly. I suppose this could have been a safety aspect, where customers would not have to walk around carrying hot plates.
After we had eaten our main course, it was time for my favourite part - pudding! Of course, when eating in Ciro's Brasserie, we need to refer to is as 'dessert'. As could now be expected, service was fairly slow, but pu... sorry, dessert arrived a little quicker than the other courses as the staff had obviously realised how close to 1.45 we were getting.
In normal circumstances, it is at this point where the waitress will come over to see if anyone wanted coffee to finish off the meal. We did not receive any such service, and while we were finishing eating our desserts, the waiting-on staff were rushing around us moving tables together, obviously in readiness for the party that was due in - at 1.45!
By this point, we had had enough, were not really bothered about hanging around for coffee, and started to get coats on etc. As we stood up, the nice lady who 'greeted' us when we arrived was just rushing over to see if we had finished - once she saw us preparing to leave, she rushed off in the opposite direction and stood by the cash desk. Yes, this was our cue to pay up and leave.
Despite the fairly poor service, I would say the food was rather nice, but could certainly not be described as 'out of this world'.
Two of our party had cream of tomato soup which did look rather appetizing and was served with a crusty bread roll. We did not order a starter for Matthew, but the remaining three, including myself, ordered pate and toast which was pleasant, though a little bland. Matthew decided to help himself to some of the toast, but there really wasn't anything else on the menu that would be suitable for a four year old child. The only other choice on the menu as far as starters were concerned was melon, so all in all, a fairly limited choice.
The main course comprised a choice of three different meats: roast beef, pork or turkey with all the trimmings, which I thought was an unusual choice for the end of January. Surely everyone was sick to death of turkey by now? I chose the roast beef which was divine, and was accompanied by a huge Yorkshire Pudding, roast potatoes served in garlic and rosemary (admittedly, rosemary is usually served with lamb, but there was no lamb on the Sunday menu). Other vegetables on offer were mash potatoes, peas, cauliflower, and suede & carrot. There was a huge jug of real gravy too, not the 'quick gravy' which many places tend to use. The advantage of choosing food from the carvery was the fact that we could choose a smaller portion for Matthew, but needless to say, we still had to pay full price. Fortunately though, the roast turkey and chipolatas went down extremely well!
Dessert was also a fairly limited choice, including vanilla Crème Brule, chocolate cake, ice-cream or cheese and biscuits.
As I mentioned earlier, coffee was not offered to us, but it was included on the menu.
For our party of six, we ordered:
1 large red wine
1 large white wine spritzer
2 bottles of beer
2 soft drinks
6 roast dinners from the carvery
6 desserts (3 of which were a simple serving of vanilla ice-cream)
The total bill came to £110.00. I rarely eat in these kind of establishments so cannot say whether this is good value for money compared to similar places, but personally, I think for the service we received and the poor choice of food, this was a little overpriced. It would have been a more acceptable price had we received first class service with first class food. In addition, I was not very impressed by the fact that we were expected to pay full price for a four year old who obviously did not eat the same amount of food as the adults.
The Sunday carvery lunch is served between 12.00 pm and 3.00 pm, and there is a further serving in the evening between the hours of 6.00 pm and 9.00 pm.
In addition to the carvery, Ciro's Brasserie also serves an a la carte menu during the week, with two settings on Mondays to Thursdays between the hours of 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm and 6.00pm and 9.00 pm, Fridays between the hours of 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm and 6.00 pm to 10.00 pm. There is only one sitting on a Saturday, and that is between the hours of 6.00 pm to 10.30 pm.

Ciro's Brasserie itself is a very attractive looking restaurant with a vibrant, yet relaxing atmosphere (with the exception of the staff!) There is always the possibility that the poor attitude of the manageress was simply down to her having a bad day, she was not in the mood for working on a Sunday, or maybe she even had a hangover from the night before, but whatever the reason, there is never any need to greet paying customers in the manner that we were greeted. The food was enjoyable, though fairly limited in choice which may be quite common with Sunday carvery menus. I also thought the price was a little high for the service we received. Therefore, based solely on my experience here a couple of weeks ago, I would not recommend Ciro's Brasserie to anyone looking for a pleasant Sunday lunch treat.
My personal preference would be to visit Nelson's Bar which is situated within the same hotel, and which will be the subject of my next review.
Thank you for reading.

Weill cabaret at Camden Opera House
Camden — Camden Stage Festival, the new professional summer festival of live theater and opera productions that will debut in 2013, is offering a one-night-only theatrical romp as way to round out 2012.
"Camden Stage Festival At The Cabaret" promises to take audiences on a thrilling musical tour of Kurt Weill's greatest works, the best of prolific career through Berlin, Paris, Broadway and Hollywood. The entertainment will be followed by a festive champagne reception and cocktail hour. The extravaganza is set for Sunday, Dec. 30 starting at 4 p.m. at the Camden Opera House. The evening will be hosted by James Darrah, artistic director of the Camden Stage Festival, and features Edwin Cahill and Peabody Southwell, a dynamic duo of acclaimed Weill specialists.
Cahill made his Lincoln Center directing debut at the Juilliard Opera; appeared in the French premiere of Kurt Weill's "Street Scene" at the Opéra National Toulon, France; made his debut in Brazil as director, pianist and performer of "Wir Sind New Yorkers!", his own dramatic review of the life and music of Weill; and is creating the role of the Gentleman Caller in "Blue Roses," the world premiere musical adaptation of "The Glass Menagerie." Broadway productions include the new musical about the lives of Weill and Lotte Lenya, "LoveMusik," directed by Harold Prince; and the national tour of the Tony-winning revival of "Sweeney Todd." Originally from Cape Elizabeth, Cahill lives in New York.
Southwell is reviving her critically acclaimed Long Beach Opera performance in the title role of Piazzolla's "Maria de Buenes Aires" for Chicago Opera Theater as her debut for that company in its current season. She makes her LA Opera debut in 2013 under the baton of Placido Domingo in the world premiere of Lee Holdridge and Richard Sparks' new opera "Dulce Rosa." Also in 2013, she will be conducted by James Conlon in Britten's "The Rape of Lucretia" as a guest artist of LA Opera's Domingo-Thornton Young Artist Program. She made her Central City Opera debut in 2011 as Anna in Weill's "The Seven Deadly Sins." She made her role debut as Carmen in Brook's "The Tragedy of Carmen" as a professional fellow at the Hawaii Performing Arts Festival and returned for Handel's "L'Allegro, Il Penserosa" in a genre-bending production by husband Darrah. A finalist in the 2011 Lotte Lenya Competition, Southwell splits her time between Los Angeles and Camden.
Weill's early works show the influence of post-romanticism, expressionism, even atonality, but his early operas show the influence of jazz and popular music. He began working with Bertolt Brecht in the spring of 1927, setting the "Mahagonny" poems. The resulting hummable tunes and popular influence seemed calculated to shock the avant-garde; the charge that he had "sold out" to commercialism and abandoned art followed him thereafter. Later compositions such as "The Threepenny Opera" and "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" elaborated on his popular style. Weill's American career was as active as his European career. He had two major successes on Broadway: "Lady in the Dark" (1941, Moss Hart and Ira Gershwin); and "One Touch of Venus" (1943, Ogden Nash and S.J. Perelman). All together, he brought eight shows to Broadway and saw three other stage works produced in the United States.
"At the Cabaret" follows the engrossing relationship between composer Weill and his wife and muse Lenya, one of the greatest artistic pairings in modern history. Weill's songbook includes the familiar songs "Mack the Knife," "September Song," "Moon of Alabama" and "It Never Was You," as well as forgotten gems including "Berlin in Lights," "Youkali — Tango Habanera," "Nana's Lied" and "Buddy on the Night Shift."
All proceeds from the cabaret concert will benefit the inaugural 2013 season of the Camden Stage Festival, a new, groundbreaking professional summer festival of theater+opera productions in multiple venues throughout Camden in August 2013. Ticket prices are $50 for premium admission; and $35 for general admission, $20 for students older than 18 and $17 for younger students. Tickets may be purchased securely online at camdenstage.org/boxoffice or by calling
200-5922. Tickets will be available at the Camden Opera House Box Office on the day of the performance only. For more information, send email to email@example.com or visit camdenstage.org.

I've been lucky to attend this event for the past couple of years and have seen the winning campaigns grow in terms of creativity and overall sophistication. The event is dedicated to the idea that search isn't a silo and that online (or traditional) ad campaigns that don't include search are not going to be as effective.

Don't be surprised if Mike Ribeiro gets an opportunity to play on the Capitals' first power-play unit even if he is slated as the team's second-line center.
That should make him extremely valuable from a fantasy perspective and could boost his point total to between 70-80 for the upcoming season. We like Ribeiro as a sleeper pick in 2012-13.

Nexon to publish Robotoki's Human Element
Robotoki, the L.A.-based game studio led by Robert Bowling, former lead and creative strategist of the Call of Duty franchise, has announced that Nexon will be publishing the studio's upcoming game, Human Element.
"Partnering with Nexon has allowed us to achieve our ambitious vision for Human Element," said Robert Bowling, President and Creative Director of Robotoki. "Combining the fast paced, cinematic, visceral gameplay that our team is known for with the exciting MMO social experience and expertise of Nexon, we are redefining the genre of survival games with an unprecedented level of detail within an open-world experience."
For those unfamiliar, Human Element is an open-world first-person survival game set 35 years after a zombie apocalypse. It combines action, strategy, and resource management to create multiple human survival scenarios. The game is built using the latest CryEngine technology and combines new Streaming and Segmented MMO game technologies "to achieve a large open-world MMO experience while maintaining the high visual fidelity of a first-person shooter."
"We are excited to work with Robotoki to bring this exciting game to consumers in North America and around the world," added Nexon CEO and President Owen Mahoney. "This announcement marks an important milestone in the strategic partnership we formed with Robotoki in February 2013 and furthers our goal of developing groundbreaking, AAA quality free-to-play games."
