Nothing like an almost fatal accident to prompt Harry to speak those three special words to Ginny!
Very creative of you to create the Detonation Hex, with the fingerprint trigger.
You showed the two steps forward, one step back progression of teen maturation very well through Ron helping Harry. It will be interesting to see what you make Harry do to overcome his harsh words to Hermione.
Your chapters continue to be very well constructed and flow so easily I'm always surprised when I reach the end.
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I thought Harry needed a bit of a push, even though it was quite obvious that his feelings for her ran deep. Glad you liked the Detonation Hex. Coming up with new hexes is a challenge, but I was particularly fond of this one. Thanks for the kind review.
Was it just coincidence that the Slytherins were watching practice, and then Ginny was injured?
You continue to develop Harry and Ginny's relationship in a logical fashion -- you really do convey the warmth and wonder of first love very well.
But as to this cliffie, how can you leave us hanging with our favorite female student in jeopardy? You're still taunting us, Czarina. You've just moved from H/G romance to an injury.
Author's Response: I am not a big believer in coincidence, so you can pretty much gather they were there for a reason. I am so thankful for your comments regarding Harry and Ginny's relationship. Teen angst/ love is much more difficult to portray than I thought. As for the cliffie - it was rather Slytherin-like of me, wasn't it?
Hi Czarina, It looks like you've set up your next few chapters -- Death Eaters released, families at risk, Fudge demoted, Umbridge as a mole, Percy working for his father -- all sorts of interesting threads.
I like how you use simple physical acts -- Ginny sitting on Harry's lap, Hermione and Luna resting their head on Ron and Neville's shoulders, etc. to show the increasing comfort these couples have with each other.
I find myself wanting to slow down as I approach the last chapter you've sent in. There's only one solution: submit more chapters . . . quickly, please.
Author's Response: Thank you! I love hearing that my chapters are quick reads even though they are rather lengthy. There certainly are quite a few things going on and I'm sure you see that I am leading up to something big. Thanks for your reviews!
Well, we knew that was going to happen, didn't we? Draco was too calm. The only question is the method used to get to Fudge.
Even though the tone of this chapter was quite different than most of those preceding it, your details, characters, and dialogue made this chapter another quick read.
Excellent use of the Daily Prophet headlines and articles to convey information.
Author's Response: Yes, I think it was rather obvious that it was going to happen. I agree that the question is the method used - as well as who was responsible for using it. All will reveal itself in time. Thanks, as always for your kind reviews.
Why do I think the cut on Harry's finger is more than a simple cut? And why did his blood disappear into the mirror?
Something tells me the mirror will play a part in subsequent chapters.
Nice twist by introducing Draco and his mysterious comment at the end of the chapter. You're very good at ending each chapter with something that strongly motivates us to read the next chapter. That works for me for only five more chapters, then I'll be caught up.
Author's Response: Hmmm...you may be on to something, but you will have to wait to see. Rather odd behavior for a mirror, don't you think?
Czarina, you did an excellent job of showing how the growing relationships among the four friends is helping Harry get ready for the inevitable confrontation with Voldemort.
Favorite scene: when Harry and Ginny concoct the story of going to the library, and Hermione has to pull Ron back by his shirt tail. Ron's improving, but he's still clueless at times. Funny, funny contrast. I could literally see Hermione tugging him back into the chair, then explaining why he couldn't go with H and G.
Author's Response: Harry's friendships are his true strength, and I believe that will be key in his defeat of Voldemort. I'm glad you like how I infuse some humor into the storyline. While I don't want to portray Ron as being dense, I do think it's amusing how he sometimes misses the obvious, even when it's right in front of him. As always, thank you for the kind review.
I guess we can debate whether 17 chapters (!) is too much build up, but you sure delivered on THE KISS and several dozen more.
Lifting the chapter far beyond the usual snogfest were Ginny's confession to Harry about her feelings when Tom possessed her (as you foretold through DD in an earlier chapter) and the whole Malfoy gang being caught after hours.
Humor, confessions, and snogging -- what a great chapter!!!
Author's Response: Thank you! I was going for the Guiness Book record for seeing how many chapters I could prolong a long-awaited kiss for. I suppose you could look at it as literary foreplay. This is one of my favorite chapters and I am very glad you enjoyed it.
You must like irony. You start the chapter by having Hermione tell Harry to speed things up with Ginny. Then, at the end, her row with Ron stops them from doing just that. You do like to taunt us!
One aspect of your writing I've not mentioned yet: your chapters read very fast. They seem more like 2000 words, rather than the 4000-6000 they usually are. That says you're doing an excellent job.
Author's Response: Thank you - on both aspects. Yes, I am a fan of irony and your are one of the first to catch what I was doing in this chapter with Hermione. Kudos! As for how fast my chapters go, you really have made my evening by saying that. It is truly a wonderful compliment and I appreciate it immensely.
I really admire how you've shown Harry maturing emotionally in tandem with his increasing magical power. Are the two related? Hmmm!
The side stories you added were both entertaining and informative -- DD's scar and Lily's abilities. The way Ginny learned about Harry's feelings -- or lack of -- toward Cho by overhearing his response to Ron was very creative and much more effective than H and G having a confrontation, with jealous accusations. As you cleverly included, Harry had already done that with his overreaction to Ginny talking with Colin.
I'm hoping the next chapter gets H and G together. Your preview certainly implies that -- unless you're teasing us again!
Author's Response: I plead guilty to teasing! Sorry, but I really did drag it out and it was deliciously evil of me :-)
What's this? Harry doing homework before school started?! If it stopped Snape in his tracks, it was worth the effort. Great scene!
You continue to develop Harry and Ginny's relationship in a very believable manner. Great lines, innocently spoken by Ginny: "Have you ever tasted honeysuckle, Harry?" and ". . . showing me some moves?" Sure to set Harry's hormones in motion!
Looks like they're almost there. Are you ready to stop teasing your loyal readers?
Author's Response: Quite a change of pace for Harry, isn't it? I like to put in little unexpected things and, let's face it, Harry being proactive when it comes to school is about as random as it can get! H/G are still moving slowly - what can I say, I have a dark side!
Several times you've mentioned to reviewers how you like to hear what parts of the chapter the reader liked.
Here goes: Ginny's remarks to Malfoy on the train (fearless young lady); Ginny kicking Harry while in the carriage and getting him out of his funk, rather easily it seemed; Hermione flirting (!!!) with Neville and Ron's reactions; the electric jolt both H and G felt when he helped her down from the carriage; and G's "sweet as sugar" approach to Snape.
As usual, another excellent chapter, where H and G move slightly, at the speed of a slooow glacier, toward each other.
Author's Response: Yes, I do adore hearing what your favorite parts were! It tells me what works, and helps me to focus. I'm glad you liked the chapter even though H/G certainly are in no rush. A lot of people were impatient for that to happen, so I thank you for your patience.
Wow! So soft, so sweet, you did an excellent job of showing Ginny's support of Harry and the strength and peace he derives from it.
I also liked how Harry knew Ginny thought he was going to discuss another topic when they first started talking. You're showing their evolution slowly and realistically through telling details. It's fun to watch you paint these scenes!
Cute ending when Harry returned to bed!
Author's Response: This was one of my favorite chapters. I know I frustrated more than a few readers with how slowly I made things evolve with Harry and Ginny, but I knew from the start that was how I wanted it to be. I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Czarina, you do an absolutely spiffing job with Ginny. From Harry's reaction to her in shorts all the way through her comment about him getting ". . . another sneak peek . . ." you've created a highly detailed character and shown why Harry is so attracted to her.
Really loved how Ginny wouldn't allow Harry to wallow in his self pity, and how she helped Ron and Hermione understand the ramifications of what they were doing.
Altogether another wonderful chapter!
Author's Response: Why thank you! I think we have the idea from JKR that Ginny will be Harry's strength in one way or another. With so many older brothers, she is quite able to take care of herself and has no problem saying things that others may keep to themselves. Glad you enjoyed the chapter!
I really liked the first scene, when Harry was comforting Ginny, then Ron and Hermione helped her, plus added to the criticisms of PIW. The scene really showed how much they care for each other.
Safe to say, the twins did not use an interior decorator for their flat! And again, kudos to you for creating the Portable Tunnel. What a great idea!
Author's Response: Ah, Fred and George. I do love them dearly. When I imagined their apartment, I immediately had this lurid picture of a lot of bright, abrasive color and textures. It suits them, don't you think? Thanks for the review!
Czarina, Your level of detail is marvelous. You paint a very complete picture of the scenes and the characters' interactions within them, but you do it without bogging down the story. Well done!
The contrast of Ginny performing a very powerful wandless magic act, then talking to Harry "in a small voice" was an excellent contrast and certainly represented all of the teens being on the cusp of maturity, moving between childhood and young adult from one second to the next.
One benefit of coming to your story somewhat late is that I can move to your next chapter now!
Author's Response: What a lovely review! You truly understand what it is I am trying to convey and that means so very much to me. The teens are a time of exploration and discovery. Growing up isn't easy and we tend to experiment with who we are going to become one day. Yes, it is a good benefit that you get to read so many chapters at once. I am the first to admit that I am slow to update. I want each chapter to be the very best it can be before I am ready for anyone else to read it.
Outstanding OWLs. Your description of Hermione's excitement was pitch perfect. Cute trick by Hermione to give H and G some alone time.
The way you combined Ron and Harry's nascent maturity with their continuing cluelessnes was both funny and poignant.
Now, I want to see what you do with Harry and Ginny during their time alone.
Author's Response: Thanks. So much emphasis was placed on the importance of OWLs that I felt Hermione needed a moment to revel in their glory and excitement.
I'm going to have to come up with something other than "it was a wonderful chapter!" But it was!
You continue to take the canon characters and add new life to them, going to places where JK feared to tread -- THE TALK!?!?! Well done and very sensitive, having Remus conduct it was logical and ensured at PG rating.
Ginny, Ron, and Hermione waiting to open their long-anticipated owl results and school letters was a great touch. It was a great way to show how they feel, rather than just telling it directly.
And as always, the sentences, paragraphs, and the entire chapter flowed as smoothly as silk.
Author's Response: I will have to come up with something other than "thank you" as a reply! I am glad you enjoyed the chapter. I wasn't sure how The Talk would be received, but I wanted to make sure it was addressed at some point. I like to think I'm being socially responsible :-)
Wonderful job with the will! Having the lawyer provide insights into Sirius, as well as being very friendly, helped to make a very stressful situation somewhat easier.
On a lighter note, your creativity shone through with the twins' travel tunnel. Excellent idea! You also continue to move Harry and Ginny's relationship at the right speed.
Another very good chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I do feel that there is so much about Sirius that we don't know, so I took some artistic liberty with his past. Don't you wish those tunnels were real? I could certainly use one! Glad you enjoyed the chapter!
Very creative idea to have the chessmen commenting on Harry staring at Ginny.
Lots of excellently constructed conversations. I especially like how you're portraying the conflicting emotions teens feel, as shown by Harry and Ron's confusion, Ginny's reticence, and Hermione understanding everything , except her own feelings.
Hermione's "So exactly how long have you fancied Ginny?" was a great opener for that discussion.
The chapter reads very quickly, despite having no action to speak of, which says you wrote the dialogue and inner musings very well!
Author's Response: The chessmen were quite fun, and I will have to consider bringing them back for a repeat performance. I am glad to see that the dialogue was able to hold up the chapter. I needed to work on that aspect, and I am glad it worked.
You really captured Dumbledore's eccentric, caring personality. The gift of the pensieve seemed to symbolize the difficulty of the path Harry will be facing.
Really, really liked the nocturnal visit between Harry and Ginny. You described their emerging feelings very well, particularly how Harry sought to phrase his response to Ginny, so her feelings wouldn't be hurt.
Author's Response: Dumbledore remains one of my favorite characters, particularly because of his quirkiness and eccentricity. This scene between Harry and GInny remains one of my favorities, particularly because of its innocence. Even though there is no physical contact, I think it's one of the most intimate scenes in this story. Thanks, as always, for your kind review.

Prior to sunrise on Saturday morning, the announcer standing at the Burled Arch was reading the biography of Matthew Failor but the musher who drove into the chute and parked under the Arch was Michael Baker. The last anybody saw on the GPS tracker was that Failor was ahead of Baker by a mile or less. What couldn't be seen was the exchange of leads. Failor stopped short of the ramp up to Front Street to spend a moment with his dogs and praise them for a job well done. Failor was also carrying a necklace for a friend who asked him to carry it to Nome in memory of his wife. Matthew had one of his leaders wear it into Nome. In the meantime, along came Michael Baker to take the lead. The two did share Arch space together and the canine athletes were excited to see their pals from the kennel.
Matt Failor owns and operates 17th Dog Kennel. Michael Baker is Failor's right hand man. Failor says about Baker, "He's a tremendous help, a top-notch dog handler and musher, and I'm very happy he joined the team. I couldn't do this without him."
Baker is dedicating his rookie run to his son, Siris in hopes of demonstrating that through hard work and determination, dreams can come true and you can do anything you put your mind to. In the future, Baker hopes to return to the lower 48 and establish his own kennel. Baker and the 17th Dog team he ran to Nome shared their rookie experience together. Through patient mentoring and coaching, the young puppies of 17th Dog may turn into future champions.
Matt Failor also ran a puppy team to Nome. Matt is establishing and breeding a line of dogs he hopes will one day take him to the winner's circle. That process of creating a championship caliber kennel takes years. Giving puppies a positive experience on the trail is key to growing them into a successful race team.
As rookies, Baker and Failor have had similar experiences. While handling for Martin Buser, Matt ran the Happy Trails Kennel puppy team to Nome as Buser's apprentice. Failor has a perfect Iditarod record with 6 starts and 6 finishes. Failor is also a Yukon Quest Veteran.
Baker and Failor came to the arch in 58th and 59th place with three minutes between the finishes. As the teams were parked next to each other under the arch, the pups from one team were very happy to see the pups from the other team. Tails were wagging in greeting as they tried to get a little playtime in before heading to the Nome dog lot for gourmet meals, massage and naps in the sun.

While Tony Blair has been promoting his memoirs, his predecessor at 10 Downing Street, Sir John Major, has been quietly working on a tome just as close to his heart.
"I am writing a book on the social history of music hall, which I am about half way through now," the Conservative former prime minister told Mandrake at a party to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Saatchi & Saatchi, in Chelsea.
"Most likely it will be called The Rise and Fall of Music Hall."
Sir John's father, Tom Major-Ball, was a music-hall performer and circus artiste, who died in 1962, aged 83. He claimed to have performed at every theatre in the British Isles.
In 1903, he and his first wife, Kitty, embarked on a tour of South America, where he became caught up in civil war in Uruguay and was forced to enlist in a local militia.
Andy Burnham's royal ancestry
For a Labour leadership contender who has made his working-class credentials the centrepiece of his campaign, it could be fatal. Andy Burnham is, in fact, related to royalty.
According to Mark Hughes, a family historian, Burnham has an ancestor, Richard Hughes, who married Catherine Tudor in about 1745. She is believed to have been a distant descendant of Owen Tudor, which would make the Cambridge-educated former health secretary a relation of Henry VII.

This happens all the time with fired coaches..and it means ours are also open for others to pick off. I see Iowa State making inroads quickly and picking up some pieces from others.

If you're breastfeeding, it's likely that you'll need to know at some point or another the best way to store breastmilk. I tried a lot of different methods before I finally discovered (what I think) is the easiest way to freeze and store it. Other ways may work better for you, so tweak it to suit your needs.
1. Always, always, always wash your hands before pumping.
2. While you're pumping throughout the day, store your baby's milk properly. Freshly expressed (not thawed!) breastmilk will last for up to 6 hours at room temperature, up to 24 hours in a cooler with ice packs, and 5-8 days in a refrigerator. I found that the easiest way to store breastmilk during the day was in one larger container in the refrigerator.
Each time you pump, pour the milk out of the little Medela bottles (or whatever brand you use) into the larger container so that it all mixes up. The reason for doing this (other than the fact that it's easier to keep it contained in one bottle, rather than multiples) is that the consistency of breastmilk is different according to the time of day. It's thinner in the morning and thicker in the evening. While it's cool and pretty remarkable that your body personalizes your baby's food, it really doesn't help when you're having to pump. It's complicated enough to try to make sure you pump enough milk to feed Baby in your absence without also having to make sure he's fed the right milk at the right time.
3. At the end of the day, or whenever you've collected however much milk you want/need to collect, pour it into breastmilk trays and freeze it in cubes.
The only problem I ever had with these trays are that the cubes each contain a little less than 1 ounce, which makes absolutely no sense to me.
4. After the cubes are frozen (at least overnight), store them in Lansinoh breastmilk storage bags.
I tried a lot of different bags and I found these to be the best of all I tried. They're really large and sturdy and they're cheaper than most. It's tempting, but you really shouldn't use Ziploc bags to store your milk directly (I do use them to contain the bags, as discussed in the next step). Different plastics are intended for different uses–Ziploc does not make their bags with the storage of breastmilk in mind.
5. Label the bags with dates and store them in gallon-sized Ziploc bags with a date range written on the it (for instance, if you have several Lansinoh bags of milk cubes for the entire week of January 3rd through the 9th stored in one large Ziploc bag, write "1/3-1/9" on the Ziploc bag). The Ziploc bag serves 3 purposes: it keeps the smaller bags contained so that they're not floating all over your freezer; keeping them contained and organized ensures that you rotate them correctly; and it provides extra protection while in the freezer.
6. Store the bags in your freezer. It's preferable to use a deep freezer, but if you can't, then store them in the center of the freezer, not on the sides or in the door, so that the milk stays completely frozen. Store them so that the older bags are in the front and the newer bags are in the back. Always rotate your milk to avoid having to throw any out because of spoilage. Breastmilk can last for 3-6 months in a standard freezer, but up to 1 year in a deep freezer.
7. When you need to make your child a bottle, remove however many cubes you need (remember with the Fresh Baby trays, each cube is less than 1 ounce, so I typically thawed 3 cubes per every 2 ounces I needed) and plop them right into your baby's bottle. This method allows you to take out the exact amount of ounces you need, rather than having to thaw an entire bag. In order to do this, you'll need to use a wide-mouthed bottle such as Avent Natural or Tommee Tippee. However, if you've found that a bottle with a smaller mouth works better for your baby, Milkies Milk Trays should work for you.
I always prepared my son's bottles the night before and left them in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. But, you can always run the bottle under warm water and defrost the milk immediately. Remember, you must use thawed breastmilk within 24 hours–so don't thaw more than you need! Also, make sure your childcare provider knows that they should never shake breastmilk. The cream separates when the milk is heated, so whoever is preparing the bottle should gently swirl the bottle to mix it.
For a handy little chart on how long you can store breastmilk, go here.

Things have been pretty quiet on the City Series front from adidas Originals lately, save for the winterized pairs of the Kopenhagen we saw drop a couple of weeks back. But with the adidas Consortium being resurrected, is it possible that the City Series will come back in a major way as well? Only time will tell, but for now we have a new release for the adidas Originals London, coming in a somewhat gloomy colorway that seems to pair up well with London's trademark weather. This 70's sneaker has a fine looking suede up top to go along with the leather stripes, which match the brown sole on bottom. Continue reading for the full look and pick these up at UK retailer Size?

Singles With Lachlan: Sampa The Great, Methyl Ethel and More
Check in next week's column intro for the exclusive announcement of the next US president! #scoop
Single Of The Week
Sampa The Great : Mona Lisa
Few in Australia have been operating on the same level as Sampa The Great since her breakthrough with The Great Mixtape a bit over a year ago – maintaining pristine quality with a constant output of fresh material (not to mention incredible live shows). Mona Lisa steps it up yet again, inventive production, with Sampa pushing herself in terms of flow with disarming ease.
METHYL ETHEL : No. 28
Expanding on the immediacy of Twilight Driving, Methyl Ethel spread forth into something more dexterous in composition and narrative – sounding like Augie March (that's a compliment) in a higher vocal register.
PNAU : Chameleon
Years have passed, but Pnau's knack for hooks that border on obnoxious remains – a deep, house groove bringing the Sydney duo into 2016 with all the makings of a banger. I like it. I don't love it. But it goes alright ay.
ROLLING BLACKOUTS COASTAL FEVER : Julie's Place
There's a lot to like here, Rolling Blackouts really know how to lock into a groove. They bob along in unison in the live setting, and you can really picture it here on Julie's Place, the bassline fangin' it – everything coming together to cultivate a magnetic propulsion that never threatens to overdo it.

Taj Mahal, India
Hundreds of years ago, the Taj Mahal was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife. Regarded as "the jewel of Muslim art in India", the white marble monument took twenty-two years to construct. The Taj Mahal is deemed the greatest example of Mughal architecture and is considered by many the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World.

Quick Small Clutch Purse
The other day I need a small clutch to just put my iPhone, a small coin purse with a credit card, a lipstick and my keys. You know the "necessaries"! I could not find a thing in my wardrobe that would suit. Which got me to thinking, how can I make a small clutch purse?
I had some material left over from making my larger bag so thought I would use it to make a smaller clutch purse to go with it. I also had some lovely satin fabric so I made another with pin tuck for a great little evening clutch.
- 9" (~23cm) of 45" (115cm) wide fabric without a nap of one-way design.
- 9" x 12" piece of heavy weight woven or non woven fusible or sew-in interfacing.
- 9" (~23cm) of 45" (115cm) wide lining. NOTE: I used the same fabric inside and out. If you are doing the same you only need 9" of the fabric in total.
- One large snap
- Coordinating thread
- Fabric marking pencil or pen
- Two sheets of A4 or letter sized paper
You don't need a pattern for this cute little clutch purse. You can just mark out the dimensions on the wrong side of your fabric. I however like to draw a pattern out. I used an A4 sheet of paper (or you can use a letter sized sheet) and marked out the dimensions for the triangle flap as shown at the top of the sheet. The rest of the paper forms the body of your purse.
Place you fabric right side down, single thickness. Using your sheet of paper (or if you are brave using a ruler and your fabric marker) place the sheets of paper as shown. If you are not using the sheet of paper as a guide/pattern you need to make sure that your cutting lines are parallel and straight. The corners also need to be square (or 90 degrees).
TIP: draw out and 11″ by 8″ rectangle first then mark the triangle flap within the rectangle.
If your fabric is a heavy weight or bulky fabric, you may be best to have a light weight fabric for the lining.
Also cut out a piece of interfacing the same size and shape as your lining.
Iron or baste the interfacing to the wrong side of the clutch purse.
At the end of the fabric away from the triangle, fold under the raw edge approx 1″ and press
Measure 4″ from the fold and mark a second fold line on each of the long sides of the purse. Fold the clutch purse right sides together using the second fold line marks and lightly press.
Do exactly the same for the lining.
Place the clutch section interface side down onto a flat surface. Place the lining on top (with the folded section facing down). Pin together.
Check that your folded sections match up and that one is not higher that the other. (if the are different, you will have to adjust the second folds. It is ok if the clutch fold is marginally higher than the lining)
Stitch or over lock(serge) the two pieces together (but not the folded sections) using a 1/2″ seam. Trim and grade the seam if required
Insert your hand between the two folded sections, grasp the outer fabric and turn the purse the right side out.
Slip stitch the two folded sections together along the inside opening. Press, making sure that the lining is not visible from the outside.
If you like the look you can top stitch the flap down to the fold and also along the folded section.
Fold the flap down and make a little mark with your fabric marking pen where the best place for your snap fastener would be. Carefully stitch the snap fastener onto the flap and the body of the purse.
You're ready to go!

Ms von der Leyen would become the country's first female president if nominated by Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government and then approved by lawmakers.
Mrs Merkel launched a fast-track process to find a candidate. The new head of state has to be elected by June 30.
Following initial consultations between Merkel and her coalition partners, news agency DAPD reported that von der Leyen appeared to be the chancellor's favourite candidate to replace Mr Koehler in the largely ceremonial post.
Ms Von der Leyen, 52, is a member of Mrs Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union. The mother of seven has served in Mrs Merkel's Cabinet since 2005 and is considered a pragmatist.
A coalition official told DAPD that Mrs Merkel's party and its Bavarian-only sister party CSU support Ms von der Leyen. The third coalition partner, the Free Democrats, has yet to decide, DAPD reported.
Mr Koehler stepped down Monday because of what he thought was unduly harsh criticism after an interview he gave on the German military's role in the world.
Mr Koehler said in his very brief resignation statement he felt the criticism after his interview showed too little respect for his office. That criticism was first voiced by the opposition. Merkel had declined to comment on it.
The president will be chosen by an assembly of 1,244 representatives from the state and federal parliaments, where Merkel's coalition has a majority.
The German president has a largely ceremonial job, but traditionally functions as the nation's moral voice.

Bronze "Marly" Horses
c. 1870 France
Offered by Judy Fox Antiques
SoldRequest Information Call Dealer Favourite Item
These two bronzes are 19th century copies of large marble sculptures representing horses restrained by grooms, commissioned in 1739 for the horse pond in the gardens of the Château de Marly. In 1743, the king chose these models to be exhibited in the Louvre courtyard; they were subsequently installed at Marly in 1745. In 1749, they were moved to Paris on the initiative of the painter David, and placed on high pedestals at the bottom of the Champs-Elysées. They were finally removed to The Louvres in 1984.
As can be seen, they have merited a great deal of attention over the years and are regarded as iconic.

Peace Mass at sanctuary of Ugandan martyrs
A Mass for peace was celebrated on Sunday, by Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala, Archbishop of Kampala, at the sanctuary of Ugandan martyrs in Namugongo, Uganda. Crowds gathered to pray for an end to the 15-year civil war in the north of the country - the Missionary News Service report. During his homily, Fr Guido Oliana, Comboni provincial superior, spoke of the violence in the so-called "protected villages" where the Acholi population are forced to live in intolerable conditions, the street attacks, and the child soldiers kidnapped from their families and trained to kill. Fr Guido said all the speeches and preaching were useless unless they were backed up by Gospel values put into practice. He said that the Church should be used as an instrument of peace and reconciliation, and perhaps was the only one that could make a difference. At the end of Mass, a mother whose daughter had been kidnapped by the rebels, appealed to the congregation on behalf of many parents, for support and prayers for children who are missing.

Nirmali Fenn
I was contacted by Nirmali Fenn (Australian composer and Professor of Music at New York University) to develop a simple website that captured the essence of movement and life that was the heart of her music.
I decided to use a scrolling background that carried a flow of colours and patterns upon which sat her biography and compositions. This was created entirely with standard web code (without Flash) and was completely responsive. It would take 5 years before this technique became mainstream. The colours change depending on the time of day you visit (in relation to the users region), varying from deep blues at night through to rich ambers, reds and greens throughout the day.
The brief also specified multiple languages must be selectable, so I incorporated a small flag array in the upper right which, when clicked, translates the website into the respective languages.

Pro-Palin Patriots Shed Light on Anti-Palin Anger
Thursday, July 1, 2010
Anti-Palin protesters in California made themselves look like complete fools. Now, I do understand that here, in the greatest country in the world, people have a right to do so. We each have a right to assemble, rant and rave, and spew out nonsensical, unvalidated claims about someone, I suppose. But it sure looks ridiculous.
As you will see in the video below, the protesters were actually chanting, "Racist, sexist, anti-gay, Sarah Palin go away!" The gentleman from Conservative New Media asked several people to give evidence that the Governor was sexist, and of course, there was no logical response. Experience tells us we can distill the allegation to mean they disqualify her from being pro-woman because she is pro-life, because she doesn't believe we should murder our children in the womb, but instead believes in the sanctity and potential of every life. That makes her sexist in the warped mind of a flaming Liberal. One woman actually stated that Governor Palin does not espouse traditional family and Christian values. As defined by whom--the Gospel according to the Left? If I may speak frankly, the Left's version of right and wrong is so far from the teachings of the Gospel, it's scary.
After searching for a while, the interviewer discovered one tiny American flag in the midst of the haters. The sound of it waving in the wind certainly wasn't loud enough to drown out the man who declared he hated the Constitution. No wonder they don't like Governor Palin: she stands by our beloved Constitution. She's an American through and through.
Now, the Governor had a crowd of supporters gathered, as well. The difference between them and the anti-Palin people was glaring. Pro-Palin people were carrying flags, singing "God Bless America," and reciting the "Pledge of Allegiance." They were smiling, civil, and respectful. They demonstrated a clear love of America. When asked why Governor Palin had their support, they spoke intelligently of her support for our troops, her belief in our Constitution, and her position as a mom and role model. In spite of having Gatorade thrown at them, as one supporter claimed, they were happy and expectant of great things ahead--unlike their adversaries, who seemed quite miserable and dissatisfied with life. How sad that their worldview doesn't seem to offer them more hope and joy. When juxtaposed with the light emanating from Governor Palin and her supporters, the Left's darkness is that much more obvious.
The old saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words" certainly resounds with truth. A video, however, is worth even more. So see for yourself.
