It's best to start growing tarragon from cuttings or French tarragon plants purchased at the nursery or on Amazon.com. True French tarragon cannot be grow from seeds.
To be successful growing tarragon, sunshine and soil that can be drained properly are vital. Tarragon does not like soil that is too wet or acidic. During very hot days, the plant likes a little bit of shade. The most ideal growing spot is somewhere that gets full sun in the morning and shade in the afternoon. Or if you live in an area that isn't too hot, full sun all afternoon can be tolerated. If you are planting it in a pot, be sure to give the plant it's own container, as it can be easily overgrown by more aggressive plants. Tarragon is winter hardy but just be sure to water sparingly and make sure to move the container into an area that is free of frost or indoors.
Tarragon has a shallow root system so if you're weeding around the plant, take care not to disturb the roots.
You can also grow tarragon indoors if you have a window that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. To plant tarragon indoors, use a pot that is at least 10-12 inches deep so that the roots have room to grow.
You must divide the tarragon every three to four years or the roots will overgrow each other and choke the plants so they can't get the proper nutrients.Read More
Originally from southern Russia and western Asia, the herb Tarragon is a perennial plant that can grows up to 2-3 feet. It has long, narrow leaves that are very delicate. With it peppery flavor, Tarragon can enhance the flavor of many foods. It's a refreshing herb, but not too overpowering. It goes well with foods such as fish, pork, beef, chicken and many vegtables. Tarragon is also wonderful in many cream sauces, herbed butters, vinegars and soups. Chop leaves very fine to extract the most flavor.Read More
There are two main varieties of tarragon – French and Russian. French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus sativa) is definitely the variety that you want for cooking. The Russian variety of tarragon has a much milder flavor and is hardier than French tarragon and lacks the essential oils. If you are looking for the plant at the nursery, be sure to select a French tarragon plant.Read More
You can begin harvesting about 6-8 weeks after planting your tarragon plant. Tarragon leaves picked in the middle of summer are the best for freezing. The leaves to bruise easily so handle gently with harvesting. It's best to cut only the top third of the stems, especially for cooking.
To store, wrap the leaves in a paper towel and put it in a plastic bag in the fridge. If stored this way tarragon leaves will last about 2-3 weeks. If you don't plan to use the leaves in 2-3 weeks, they can be frozen. Tarragon does not dry well, so use it fresh in summer recipes and use it frozen during other times of the year.Read More

It provides a clear path for NARA to identify permanently valuable essential evidence from a government-wide perspective, and it also enables agencies to make independent judgments as to whatever else they want to retain for their own purposes.
Diversity of responsibility is created with multiple agencies taking on the responsibility of preservation, and this diversity provides some additional measure of safety compared to that afforded by a monolithic repository.
By banding together, NARA and other organizations stand a much better chance of spreading widely the standards and tools for preparing records that are archive-ready, of developing affordable software to meet the needs of researchers and other clients of these repositories, and of otherwise making electronic records archives practical in the long run.
Despite these advantages to cooperative arrangements, there is a potential downside to a distributed set of archives. If systems proliferate and diverge, users of affiliated archives will be frustrated by different user interfaces, different access or authorization requirements, and different implementation of services (such as downloading electronic records). To increase the utility to users, the affiliates should federate search and authorization techniques and coordinate their services.
If such arrangements become more common, NARA's role would shift to that of a standards-setter, federator, troubleshooter, and repository of last resort.

Bali's Kecak Fire Dance
Uluwatu Temple, Bali, Indonesia "Chark-a, chark-a, chark-a, chark-a", and on… the chant goes. Almost hypnotic, trance-like, the thirty or so barechested Indonesian men sway with the rhythm. They're sitting on the ground in a circle – and in the middle the drama is unfolding. Two young princes; a demon king; a damsel in distress; a mischievous monkey. They all play their parts in the ring of unceasing cantillation. The nightly performance is very popular here at Uluwatu. Buses bring the tourists from the resorts of Bali down to the southern tip of the island in time for sunset, when the show begins. Through the paths of the temple and past the clifftops with their views across the ocean, everyone walks, until you finally get to the stage. The performance is called a 'Kecak dance', an onomatopoeic title for the sound of the chant. It's based on a traditional Balinese ritual but was actually...Read More

I fell out of heaven
To be with you in hell.
My sin's not quite seven
Nothing much to tell.
Lust I haven't craved
A sainted boy I'm not.
I take it to my grave
A side cursed on rot.
I ride these ropes alone
Beneath the sulfur sky.
Everywhere I roam
Life is one big lie.
When the fireball goes down
Out by L.A waste,
I come into town
But only for a day.
If starving in bed means
I pray for you to understand.
The man sure is sleek
But loss holds my hand.
I struggle and I cry
I pounce with no revenge
At least I never lied
Or took the truth to rail.

-Sorry, I've been trying very hard to use Toodledo to work my projects, but alas, I changed software all together.
I moved over to LifeBalance, just until MyLifeOrganized comes out. They use an Outline method, which works perfectly because it separates your projects and next actions for you.
Thank you again for your interest, and I'll be keeping an eye on Toodledo.

I've rebuilt my template from the ground up, this time with my iPhone in mind.
I've been trying to make use of Projects and I personally think that Appigo Todo does it the best. However, the downside is that if you add a task to a project while viewing it, it automatically moves it to the parent's list. This was a no-no.
Download Mindmap (Rev 2)
So, to make things work, the changes I made are:
- Abolished the Project Folder
- All Projects are assigned a "Project Context"
- Areas of Focus has taken the Folder Placeholder
- Tags are Removed (might be implemented a later date)
- Defined Views to which I reference

From Topic: Trying a different iphone app
I had to redesign my system specifically with the iPhone (and it's limitations in mind)
For some reason, the only thing that the iPhone does right, is tags. In Web based Toodeldo,if I want to tag actions/projects with an area of focus, I have to remember the exact wording/spelling of each tag (not assisted with any kind of auto-complete) - whereas on the iPhone - you can select existing tags like you would a context or folder. (This applies to every toodledo application on the iphone)
*Forgot to mention - when adding a new task in your browser, there is a tag cloud that does appear, unfortunaly it doesn't show up in grid view*
If you plan to be doing most of your work on your iPhone, you've got to build/tweak specifically for it.
GTD is not a specific standard - you just need a system that you can trust that will hold your lists, rather then in your head. It's that trust that's ultimately important.

Here's the best System that I could come up with using Toodledo. It's based on Proximo's GTD Setup, with a few alterations and an implementation of the Goal System. Keep in mind this is a Template and should be tweaked around for your personal need. Also, this is assuming you have the capability of using Sub-tasks.
The work has been compiled with all the information I've found on these boards, and combining GTD's best practices:
<del>On our Browser based Toodledo, you have to manually re-write your Area of Focus (Tags). On iPhone applications, you're able to select it from a combo box. As my specific solution revolves mostly working off my iPhone, it suites me. I'll see if I can find a workaround for those who are working mainly off the browser.</del>
I'll try to get some screenshot/tutorial up asap for those who are new to using GTD.

"1. Allows you to manually sort the order of your tasks, AND
2. Automatically posts the top task to a NEXT ACTIONS list"
Wait when you mean project, are you talking about Folders or Sub-Tasks?
And this task that auto-converts to a Next-Action, does it over-ride the previous status or will it only convert it to a next action if there is no status attached to this item?

From Topic: Status
I don't know how you guys go about using the status field, to be honest.
I mean if you assign a task to a context, wouldn't it automatically be a next action?
And -
How are you using these statuses?
Postponed - Who marks anything postponed? Wouldn't you just "change the due date" of this postponed task?
Active & Planning - Are these reserved for Parent Tasks, in Relation to Their Child Tasks (Next Action/Hold)?
And what tasks are you marking Reference?

Changes in the way the Federal Reserve is conducting monetary policy has made the actions taken by the institution more powerful this year compared to 2012, a top central bank official said Thursday.
"The current stance of U.S. monetary policy is considerably easier than it was" last year, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President said. He said changes in Fed asset buying, as well as new guidance on the factors that guide when the central bank might raise rates, are the difference.
At the end of last year, the Fed replaced a program that sold short-dated Treasurys to buy longer dated government bonds with outright buying. That meant that while the monthly size of the buying was roughly the same, the balance sheet would expand, which in theory makes monetary policy more supportive of growth.
At the same time, the Fed decided to commit to keeping short-term interest rates near zero percent until what is now a 7.9% unemployment rate falls below 6.5%, as long as expected inflation doesn't go above 2.5%. The monetary policy thresholds replaced what had been a calendar based commitment where central bankers had pledged to keep rates very low until the middle of 2015.
Last year "was characterized by a relatively weak 'Operation Twist' program combined with somewhat counter-productive date-based forward guidance on rates," the latter of which had the effect of sending a pessimistic signal on the outlook, Mr. Bullard said. In the new year, monetary policy "is characterized by a relatively potent open-ended outright asset purchase program combined with more effective threshold-based forward guidance," the policymaker said.
Mr. Bullard is a voting member of the monetary policy setting Federal Open Market Committee. His comments came from materials prepared for a speech given before a banking event held at Mississippi State University, in Starkville, Miss.
Mr. Bullard has in the past been somewhat skeptical of the actions taken by the Fed. But in comments made to reporters on Wednesday, the official offered support to the course now being taken by the Fed. He said then that he wants to see how the economic data performs through the spring before deciding how he believes the Fed should conduct its bond buying effort.
In his speech Thursday, Mr. Bullard said the open ended nature of the Fed's bond buying may mean that the current size of the purchases may need to be increased or decreased depending on how the economy performs. The Fed wants to see substantial improvement in labor markets before the purchases stop, but that is unlikely to arrive overnight, the official said.
"As labor markets improve somewhat, the pace of asset purchases could be reduced somewhat, but not ended altogether," Mr. Bullard said. "This type of policy would send important signals to the private sector concerning [the FOMC's] judgement on the amount of progress made to that point," he explained.
Bullard also said he continues to worry that while inflation is low, a rising Fed balance sheet could start to increase the public's worry over price pressures. Also, the larger the Fed's balance sheet becomes, the harder it will be to tighten policy at some future date, the official noted.
"The size of the balance sheet may complicate or prevent a graceful exit," Mr. Bullard warned.

'Weekly investment commentary'
- Wednesday, October 06, 1999
'Reprinted with permission from Wright Investors'' Services managers of the Catholic Values Investment Trust
Wednesday, October 20, 1999
Inflation (or a reasonable facsimile) has been sighted, increasing the likelihood of Fed tightening next month. The battle is joined between the Fed officials, some of whom believe that stock prices are dangerously high, and Wall Streets dip buyers, who view the latest decline as another buying opportunity.
With an assist from Alan Greenspan, the U.S. stock market ended last week in correction territory. Even the most committed bulls were shaken by reports of Alan Greenspans latest stock-bashing at a bank conference last Thursday. Piling on in what was already a down week for stocks, Greenspan warned that investors might be underestimating the risks in stocks. In particular, Greenspan implied that risk managers at banks and other financial intermediaries need to stress test their assumptions and to set aside somewhat higher contingency reserves to cover losses that will inevitably emerge from time to time when investors suffer a loss of confidence. These comments, combined with an unexpectedly large increase in September producer prices, propelled stocks on Friday to their biggest one-day dip in a year (almost 3%) and the biggest weekly decline (6%+) in ten years. The Dow and S&P 500 ended the week down about 12% from their peaks, while Nasdaq was off about half as much from a peak hit just four days earlier. With the average stock down 20%+ from its peak, looking for confirmation of a correction in the DJIA and S&P 500 may appear to be splitting hairs. Still, the on-again, off-again weakness in the major market averages says something about current investor psychology.
Bond prices rallied on Friday despite the jump in producer prices. This demand for bonds, which took the ten-year Treasury up of a point in price, was out of character with recent reactions to unfavorable news on inflation. Admittedly, the producer price report was not quite as bad as it seemed on the surface. But given the amount of money that came out of stocks last week, Fridays rally in bonds was probably more a reflection of worsening sentiment on stocks than one of improving sentiment on bonds. As this is written on Tuesday, the ten-year Treasury bond yield is just a few basis points below its August 10 peak of 6.16%; the 30-year T-bond yield is 6.28%, essentially the highest in two years.
The producer price indexs 1.1% rise in September was the biggest gain in ten years. The increase was led by rises in oil, food, tobacco, and auto prices. A case can be made that the jump in last months PPI, which brought the 12-month rise to over 3%, was an aberration, the result of an 8% jump in cigarette prices as tobacco companies try to recover litigation settlements. In addition, the rise in car prices appears to have been the result of seasonal adjustment problems; there were smaller year-end discounts to adjust for because auto makers have been discounting all year, and some new-model cars were shipped earlier than usual. In October, the car price index will probably swing lower again.
The rise in oil prices is real, but its worst effects are behind us. While a harsh winter could take prices still higher, crude oil prices have edged off their highs so far in October. Even some OPEC members have suggested that oil prices much above $25 a barrel are unlikely. Certainly oil prices high enough to jeopardize the global economic expansion would not be in OPECs best interests. Nevertheless, however you explain away the September PPI, the inflation rate is almost certainly past its lows for this cycle. The same is true for the CPI, which the Labor Department reported Tuesday rose 0.4% overall and 0.3% ex food and energy in September, again fueled by oil and tobacco. Since we are only a few months off 33-year lows in inflation, some modest firming in prices is not surprising. While we continue to believe that the inflation risks are limited, the probability of Fed tightening next month has increased.
September retail sales were 10% above the year-earlier level. The strong economy and jobs market, rising stock prices and liquidity from mortgage refinancing have all helped to keep consumers spending. But with the rise in interest rates this year, extra cash generated from mortgage refinancings will be limited going forward, and unless the stock market engineers a rapid recovery, so-called wealth effect spending may have seen its best days. So there are reasons to look for some retrenchment in consumer spending. But with the consumer surprising on the upside throughout 1999, the Fed may feel compelled to act more aggressively to cool this sector.
Following Tuesdays relatively benign CPI report, the Dow inched back out of correction mode (-9.9%), while the S&P 500 tried but failed (-11.1%). Technology stocks, which are no doubt where the Fed sees the highest risks, have lagged in this weeks rebound. Of course, the tech sector is still up 70% over the past year and 475% over five years. The markets speculative juices have not exactly run dry, as can be seen in IPOs such as Martha Stewart Living and World Wrestling Federation. But until the bond markets jitters are past, dont look for broad strength in stocks or new highs in the market averages.
Wright investment outlook: WIS believes that strong economic fundamentals will keep the correction in stocks from developing into a full-fledged bear market. Bonds are also priced attractively for the long haul, although the short-term pain may not yet be over.

I think a perfect spot would be the area taking up the Gibson Amphitheatre AND Waterworld AND Shrek 4D! I'd move Shrek 4D over to the T2 building and retheme that entire area. That would make the Harry Potter area huge and breathe new life into this park. I think the park would be changed for the better.
Having seen Waterworld numerous times in both Hollywood and Singapore, in my view it's kind of a dated show now. I realise that Waterworld soaks up a lot of guests, but maybe they could consider a Harry Potter live action show replacement?
But yeah, I'd love to see Universal add it there, and in Japan and Korea, too.
Not to go off on a tangent, but I wonder where other countries' wizarding schools were in the Harry Potter universe? There was a crowd sign in the Quidditch world cup scene in HP4 that suggested America's school was in Salem, Mass. (Nice touch, BTW.) But one presumes there would be wizarding schools elsewhere in the world.
I would love for HP to arrive on the West Coast. Maybe have a slightly different version? I'm not sure how, but find a way to make it different enough to make people want to go to both parks? As old as Jaws is in Orlando, I appreciate how different and entertaining it is compared to the Hollywood version.
The park desperately needs it.
I have high hopes for the Terminator ride being something like Spider Man at Islands of Adventure, but until they step up their game, the park is not worth going to.
I live in Tampa, so the only reason for me to travel to Universal Hollywood is if there are different attractions. For this reason I agree with Mr. Niles that a different experience of Harry Potter would be a good idea.
I also like the idea of creating a new, unique, American wizarding school. Think of all the American fanboys that would go nuts for something new from the series, imagined by J.K. Rowling and designed by Universal Creative. You could even give it a cheeky name, like Ghouliard.
Alternate plan, remove Waterworld. It was a terrible movie but a pretty good stunt show. No matter how good the stunt show is, it can't redeem an unpopular movie and quite frankly has had a very long, long run for such a poor source material.
The idea of making it Diagon Alley is a winner, Robert.
If it is too confusing to understand, please ask for a better explanation.
Then I think the Terminator 2: 3D in Hollywood and Orlando can be replaced with an Avatar atraction like the one that is being rumored currently.
It specifically states in Universal's contract with Warner Brothers Films that only in the ORLANDO resort can Harry Potter-themed leisure attractions be built. And even then, the contract is only for films 1-4. Universal are not allowed to include anything from the later films, not even the soundtracks, in the WWoHP until an option to expand the WWoHP is taken up by both parties.
(I would highly suggest this option has already been taken up, seeing as it is simply a money-making machine)
J.K. specifically demanded Universal Orlando Resort as it was the main (only) Universal resort that BRITONS visit frequently, and this was a key factor in her decision (ultimatum).
Much like Universal's deal with Marvel which allows it to use characters ONLY in Orlando and Japan, Universal's deal with the Harry Potter franchise is solely for Orlando.
And for the record, if you're talking about expansion of WWoHP at IOA, then it is written into the contract that further attraction(s) built must utilise films 5-7.
Quite simply, the park is going downhill. Nobody cares about USH anymore. It is making a loss for Universal, and it would make good business sense to shut the park down and plow all their money and resources into A) Universal Orlando (third gate, water park, at least 2 new resort hotels, plus new rides at IOA and USF) and B) Universal Studios Japan.
Universal Studios Hollywood, and the planned Universal Studios in Dubai and South Korea should be shelved.
We can see from Universal Singapore and that the business is simply not there any more, and also from Hong Kong Disneyland. If a resort has a worldwide reputation (such as WDW or UO) then people will travel long distances to be there. Why do we need 3 Universal Studios parks within a 7hr flying radius (SIN-OSAKA-SEOUL)? One would be sufficient.
There was a reason Universal pulled out of Port Aventura in Spain, and I hope to see them do likewise with shabby parks like USH some time soon.
They would have to tear down the parking structure and either reinforce it or build up more hill where it is.
As much as I hate to say it, they really need to just shut down for a year or two. It would give them plenty of time to rework everything and figure out what they want to do with the land. (Condos, CityWalk, Theme Park, Movie Studio, etc.)
We all know that will never happen though, as they would rather have a mediocre park and the revenue it generates than to close for a few years and reopen as a park on par with DL.
It seem intersting to me that USH is really what USO and DHS is trying to emulate: a real live movie studio! I was very impressed with USH and I feel that too many attractions would muddle up its charm.
It's Yogi Berra logic - nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.
While USH doesn't draw in the locals for repeat visits the way Disneyland and Magic Mountain do, it hauls in visitors by the bus- and plane-load, and ask anyone in the industry which they'd rather have, a million locals or a million out-of-town visitors? They'll take the more lucrative out-of-towners every single time.
If Universal wants to pay the money to build a Wizarding World at USH, I have every confidence that it would be able to make all necessary legal arrangements with Warner Bros and Jo Rowling to proceed.
That said, yeah, this is a creative thought exercise. The siting issues at USH might be too much for Universal Creative and Universal's budget to overcome in developing a first-class west coast version of the Wizarding World. I'd give this less than 50/50 of ever happening.
But I sure do find it fun to think about. ;^)
That being said, I wouldn't want to remove Water World because of how awesome the stunt show is... USH needs as many attractions as it can get.
Perhaps you missed the title: "What Would You Do?", not "What Will They Do?"
I might be in a minority!
Though, the logicial location seems sound!
@ 188.8.131.52 - You sound knowledgeable but without proof of your claims, you're another anonymous poster trying to sound like an expert but being condescending in the process. Your IP comes back to the Netherlands in Amsterdam. Odd, your rudeness is more on par with France.
I do like the idea of the American Campus of the Wizarding World. I'm not as familiar with the books or the movies to be honest as I can't recall many characters' names, but I do enjoy the fantasy world of HP. Almost an expanded universe... as long as it's not like Star Wars and George "I think everything looks better in CGI because I say so" Lucas. I love Star Wars, but there's something soul-less about the newest three movies as well as the inexplicable Unleashed games.

Buying a notebook and writing something about your day that made you happy or that you are proud of really helps to put into perspective all the good things in your life. The key is to focus on something good even if it is the tiniest little thing. I have also found that personalizing the notebook can make it more important to you.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
First off, i want to point out that i am one of many who left this guild. So before you judge myself and the rest of us, you need to know the whole story, (parts left out by the GM).
I was a rescent addition to this guild upon a 4 month vacation from wow, playing rift. Upon coming back to the game, me and my crew found a new server which seemed promising due to high numbers in population and nice economy. One of my crew found this guild and gave it a shot, and the rest of us soon joined. Some, not all of us quickly joined the ranks of raiders. My crew has been playing together since vanilla, so with that being said, we have seen our share of just about anything you can imagine when it comes in the form of guild drama.
This raid leader "Eddie" was still around when my crew joined and never really said much in guild chat that would be considered condisending or down right harsh. However, shortly after his return from basic training, he came in full force with insults, racism, threats, you name it.
For the most part, me and my crew tried to ignore it and let it be. Yet on one fateful day, my own MILITARY background came out in guild chat. After seeing this kind of blatent bashing of guild members on a daily basis, i had enough. I was seeing from what i could only say, was a form of PTSD coming out in this "Eddie" person. Constently insulting lower ranking guild members and putting them down, trying to break them so HE could mold them back into the "Soldier" HE wanted them to be. This is exactly what happens to anyone who goes through Basic Training. Trust me, ive been through it myself. Anyway, as i stated earlier this kind of behavior is very close to a borderline case of PTSD, from bootcamp mind games. So, in guild chat, i pulled Military Rank on this "Eddie" guy and told him to act his rank, and stop insulting people. I also told him he needed to seek help for his obvious PTSD issues he was having. I reminded him of the oath he took when he joined the Military and that insulting civilians was not in that oath.
Immedietly upon saying these things, i get told by the GM in guild chat that i would be kicked if i continued "as he so delicatly put it" insulting his officer. I immediately got numerous whispers from many of the guild stateing, "it's about time someone put him in his place, called him out on his crap, etc". I also recieved many whispers from the current Officer base in guild, that if i got kicked, they were leaving the guild, and that they were tired of this favoritism by the GM towards this one Officer "Eddie". I then whispered the GM himself and simply explained my concerns for his Friend? / Officer. I also told him that it was not right for him to allow one of his Officers to disrespect people like "Eddie" was doing. Shortly after that i seen in guild chat, one of my crew say " respect is earned not demanded" The GM ended the conversation in guild chat and whispers shortly after that, threatening to kick any and all who disobey his words.
That same weekend is when the @#$% hit the fan so to say, the officer base tried to talk to the GM about this again, yet, only praise was given to this "Eddie" guy by the GM. He forgot the other officers and contributing players who helped get his guild up and running and into FL content. Needless to say, after they were left out of his so called loop of trusted opinions. They had enough as well and quit. Me and my crew quit as well, being as when we logged on that sunday morning, we found the guild message of the Day stating "Casual Racism is Permitted - Phob"
So now that you know the whole story of what "really" happened to this guild. Maybe you can see our point in quitting.
No one should have to log onto a game that they play for fun and entertainment and endure the kind of Harsh, obscene, vulgor, racist, disrespectful, language that this ONE officer was allowed to get away with. Joke or Not, it is uncalled for, and not to be taken lightly. We as gamers forget that most of the time our true nature comes out in these avatars we play in a fantasy world. So if you want to feel sorry for what this GM who allowed this to happen to his guild, feel free. It only shows that you, as well as him and his only trusted Officer share something in common.
I truely hope that once you have all read this now, you can empathize with those who left this guild on a road to self distruction.
As for the Death of our in game friend, we all are grieving him. And what the GM said about him not putting up with the drama and BS that the GM himself allowed to go on, i agree. He would have left with the rest of us and been a most enjoyed ally in the ranks of our new guild.
This player will be missed greatly by us, for he was a root to common sense in every raid i ran with him. Always a voice of reason, and level headedness.
Now you know the truth.

Categories > Books > Harry Potter > Magical triplet
Chapter One4 Reviews
It does not go well with Harry Potter. In order to increase Harry's magical power, Dumbledore infects Harry and two girls with a disease. And his power surges.
A/N: Beta reader for this story is Jezz Jamer
The sun was shining through the window of Harry Potter's bedroom at number four Privet Drive, revealing the dirty cloths strewn across the floor. Harry couldn't find the urge to pick up the cloths and deposit them in his hamper. He was completely unconcerned about the messy state of his room; he had been lying in bed for the past two days daydreaming about his parents, school, his classmates, Professor Dumbledore and his favorite girls: Ginny, Hermione and Cho Chang.
He heard Hedwig hoot softly and unfurl her wings. With a sigh, he stood up from his bed and walked to his window. He opened it and his owl flew off into the unblemished morning sky to hunt for her breakfast. He immediately went back and leaned his head against the metal frame of the bed.
He thought about the lesson in meditation, which Sirius, his godfather gave him on the last day of school in his sixth year. It was the most valuable lesson he had ever received from anyone, because the lesson made it possible for him to sleep and to relax. Before the lesson started, Sirius told him that meditation would help him more then anything else. And Sirius was right about that.
The lesson started with breathing and lasted for two hours. He never thought about the difference between breathing from his chest and breathing with his belly. When he breathed deeply in and out with his belly and tried to empty his mind, he could feel the energy coursing throughout his body, it felt like static electricity tingling at his fingertips. It made him feel utterly relaxed. He could feel his magical power running through his body and searching for a point of exit, to be thrown against the walls, window and door. After this surge of energy his entire being felt energized and he also felt strangely aroused.
After teaching him how to breath properly, Sirius then taught him the basics of self-hypnotism, which enabled him to sleep, concentrate, and rest. It was amazing how a human could be fooled by suggestions, and it was even more amazing that he could make himself to be fooled. He tested the self-hypnotism at first to give him special feelings like happiness, rest, exhaustion. He gave the suggestion to himself that he would "awaken" feeling rested. Indeed, after the hypnotism session he truly felt rested. Harry realized that even when he was not rested at all, he felt like he had had a wonderful nights sleep.
That was enough for him to think about other possibilities like happiness and exhaustion. The feeling of happiness did not occur after his "waking up", except when he used the suggestion to feel happy for a particular reason. When he used a silly reason, he did not feel happy at all. However, when he thought about a real and existing happy memory the suggested to himself that he should feel happy, the feeling of happiness came indeed. Maybe it was not as intense as a real feeling of happiness, but he felt content and optimistic, and he had a very nice feeling at the bottom of his belly.
Harry knew that the dreams were still there and plaguing his subconscious, but with a few well constructed self-suggestions he was able to wake up refreshed and only remembered his dreams faintly. So lacking any meaning and form, the dreams were not upsetting him as much as they usual did. He felt relaxed and rested, and very lazy. The laundry was still waiting for him ...
His aunt and uncle were not bordering him anymore, after their "deep conversation" with Moody at the station when the Dursleys came to picked him up. His relatives were ignoring and keeping away from him, which was excellent for Harry, except that they ignored feeding him as well! No breakfast, no lunch and no dinner!
He owled all his friends for food and cakes and they complied! Every day in the morning at six o'clock he received an excellent breakfast from Hermione's parents, but no eggs and no fast food and mostly every day at eleven in the morning he received a lot of cakes and chocolates from Ron and the twins. At twelve he was sent eggs, ham, sausages and other hardy foods from Sirius and in the evening he got an excellent dinner from Mrs. Weasley. In honesty, he had never eaten so well here at the Dursleys compared to any other vacation with them over all school years and even before. He hoped that Hermione would never find out about the eggs and cakes.
All of this combined produced the appearance of an average healthy and rested young man. This had not been the case for the young man before this summer. Few people had noticed the drastic changes within him.
His aunt looked at him strangely when they met in front of the bathroom yesterday morning. She noticed a young man, who walked confidently down the hall, very different from the boy she remembered from years before. Harry was calmly quiet, his usual nervous expression on his face totally gone. When she looked him straight in the eyes, she could not help but notice that he looked straight back without blinking; he did not avert his gaze.
His penetrating green eyes were like a magnet, which automatically attract any view from the rest of his being. She saw no clear emotion in those eyes, only determination and a strange and intensive depth. She could not help then to stop walking and give him his place in the bathroom without any comment. After he had gone into the bathroom, she hurried back to the kitchen, feeling very nervous.
She was very impressed with him attitude, she could feel the power of his personality very clearly, but there was also much more then only that. She felt very strange when she looked into his eyes, she could feel the intensity together with the determination giving the implication of great power and energy, which seemed to be coming out of him and radiated towards everyone else. She now knew that when Harry would walk into a crowed of people in that mood and with that much determination, everyone would stop talking and would look only to him.
So strange! She remembered last year when the boy left their house, he looked like someone on the verge of a nervous break-down, and anything could trigger an explosion of an emotional fit. What happened?! She had no idea, but it had everything to do with those terrible freaks. She suspected that all those freaks would have done something to make him look the way he looked then. Maybe they used a spell or something like that to make him as he is now.
Harry suddenly noticed Omniga, the new white owl of Hermione's with his breakfast. "Great", Harry though. "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse". He unbounded the package from the owl and started to open it.
The package felt cool in his hands, so that meant that he was having a cold salad for breakfast. That was great! He loved salads and specially the ones that were made by Hermione's mum. Yesterday they sent a salad drizzled with a special sauce called saté. That sauce was really great, but extreme hot. He started eating his salad with the fresh, warm white bread they sent as well immediately. He was so hungry yesterday that ate to fast, causing the sauce to burned his mouth so bad that it make him almost cried.
It felt as if smoke was coming out of his nose and ears, and it probably was! He immediately grabbed a glass of water, but that was an even bigger mistake, because that burning feeling in his mouth only intensified. The only thing what could be done was let it burn. And that was exactly what Harry did, he let it burn. After that, he ate more carefully and slowly.
As he unwrapped this morning's package a letter fell out. Harry looked from his breakfast to the letter, wondering which should come first. Would he eat his breakfast, or would he open the letter. Maybe the letter gave him instructions about eating his breakfast (like with there should have been for yesterday's saté), or maybe the letter give him reason to worry so he would not be hungry anymore? He saw that the letter was wrapped in a strange colored envelope, green on the edges, blue in the middle and his name written in large brown and gothic letters. "Well, let's do everything at the same time". He opened the letter and started to eat the sandwich.
"Dear Harry", it read. This was clearly Hermione's handwriting. "Before you start eating those sandwiches, you need to know that we used the same saté as yesterday, and this time with extra green peppers. So please do not eat like a pig as usual, but take small bites." Harry, had taken a large bite of his sandwich, but was not chewing yet; spit the big piece out next to his chair on the ground. "Oh my!" he said. That was almost too late.
He was absolutely certain that Hermione would know that he would take a big bite of the sandwich first and then read the letter, she could be horribly mischievous at the worst of times.
He took a small bite and started to eat. He wondered what she had to say this morning. Hermione was very nervous at the end of the last year. She got all of her OWLS (all twelve of them), while Harry and Ron had only six. Hermione wanted to have her OWLS in all of the subjects, while Harry and Ron choose for a more specific package of OWLS. The coming academic school year would be for the NEWT's, and Harry was absolute sure she wanted to get them all. But her problem was that she did not know what she wanted to do after school! Harry and Ron wanted to become Aurors, or maybe Harry could continue to study and work to become a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor or Quidditch player.
Hermione only knew that she wanted to study but what she should study for, she had no idea. Maybe she could continue to specialize in portions, or languages or transfigurations. She had no idea and became very nervous at the end of the last academic year, because she could not decide which direction she would take. Maybe this letter would give some insight in what she wanted to do.
Dear Harry,
Before you start eating those sandwiches, you need to know that we used the same saté from yesterday, and with extra green peppers. So please do not eat like a pig as usual, but take small bites. When you do eat like a pig as usual, do not use water to find relief, but let the sauce continue to burn out in your mouth.
As you already know, we are waiting for news from my relatives in America to see if may visit them during the holidays, but we still have not heard from them yet. Maybe they changed their minds or maybe they do not have time to allow us to visit. That would be such a pity, because I would love to visit New York and to found out first had why the city is called the "Big Apple".
Anyhow, while waiting I have been researching a large area of subjects to find, of course you would guess right, the area which I could choose to specialize in for my NEWT's. I think that I would like to continue with portions, except that with Snape as the professor it is very difficult to get accepted and to continue in advanced portions. But even when the professor is acting so obstinate and immature, it must not be the reason why I would not choose portions.
I would like to know if you are choosing for applied or advance portions. If you choose advanced, then we can sit together in class, which means that it is easier to deal with him and I would not have to sit alone with all those Slytherins. I understand that you need to choose either applied or advanced portions for your Auror education requirements. I know that Ron is choosing only applied portions, but I am not sure what you want to choose. I hope you choose advanced potions, because we can do everything together, including the research. It would be fun to research certain subjects together.
I also have a question about the coming balls at school. You know that we have a ball the 31st of October, a Christmas ball and a Valentines ball. I don't want to have the problems we had last year before the balls in finding partners, and I am sure you don't want to have those problems again as well. I know that Ron wants to go with Parvati Patil, but I have no dance partner. Is it possible that we can go together as friends? I know that Ron does not mind, because all he can think about is Parvati.
Please, let me know as soon as possible.
Harry knew that he did not want to do portions at all, especially with Snape. He was a terrible man; he was the portions-master from hell. If it was not for the requirements for Auror training, he would drop portions like a stone, straight on the head of Professor Snake-breath. But that must wait at least after his seventh year, when all the NEWT's would be done and earned. Harry was planning on a very big prank to pay Snape back for all the years of nightmares and abuse.
Applied portion was rather uninteresting, and was about five lessons per week, while advanced portions was only about two lessons per week but the lesson were much more difficult. That was defiantly a good reason never to go near advanced portions, but all the interesting portions were being made in the advanced portions class, while applied portions was simple and stupid work in a very annoying environment with a very dreadful professor. In the advanced portions they would have boring potions but also very interesting ones, and at least he would have a sense that he was learning something. And above all, the advanced portions would give him the possibility to research, and that meant that he could work independently sometime and less with Snape. At the end, he would encounter Snape much less then he would if he took applied portions, where was no research and only conventional lessons. He should obviously take advanced portions and now that he knew Hermione had chosen that as well, his choice was made.
Now to worry about those dreadful balls for the coming year, he hated balls and he had no idea how to dance and girls are absolute illogical. He also had no girlfriend, and did not want to think about girlfriends and balls. He also did not want to think about dancing, he would prefer an extra detention with Snape than trying to find a girl crazy enough to accompany him to the ball. He had absolute no idea what to do, what to say, how to act, how to dress, he was at a total loss. "Maybe Hogwarts might organize a course about dancing or maybe etiquette? Maybe he should owl Professor Dumbledore with such suggestion! Or maybe he could simply ask Hermione!" He was beaming at the thought, and jumped to his table to find parchment and quill and started to write Hermione.
Dear and sweet Hermione,
I would love to go to the balls with you as your friend, but then I need your help. I need to learn how to dance, what to wear, how to act, what to do, because I have absolute no idea what to do. Because you are my best friend, I feel that I can admit that I am totally at a lost here. Please, Hermione help me here! I do not want to make you look like a fool.
And by the way, yes, I would love to take advanced portions with you. Ron is so stupid, because with advanced portions we do not see Snape as much as we much as we see him in applied portions. But I think the reason why he chooses applied portions is because of Parvati, who takes applied as well and he will have more free time with her (he thinks).
I hope that you receive your news from you relatives very soon, so you can see New York and please bring back some New York style cheesecake or pizza for me.
But if you don't go, can we meet somewhere and discuss how we're going to deal with the Balls and dancing? I think that I need to learn etiquette and I also need to learn what to do around a girl, because I have no idea. Can you be so sweet to help me?
He rolled up the parchment, wrote Hermione's name on the front, attached it to Hedwig's leg and sent her off. Harry was not sure how Hermione would react on this letter. It was indeed very strange; because of all the people around him at school, only he and Hermione were not in a relationship. Even Ginny had a boyfriend, and she showed him off everywhere possible.
Last time he came across them in a bathroom. He had been feeling rather impish that day so he decided to switch on the showers and they got soaking wet. When Ginny had found out it was he who had played that nice prank, she was not happy, and ten minutes later he as not happy either, when he went to sit on a transfigured frog which had been a chair one second before. Two seconds later his "chair" started jumping around the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Then he had to try to catch his "chair" while the entire study body watched and laughed. Malfoy had had a field day with that one.
He had no idea why Hermione did not have a boyfriend by now, because she was very good looking. He thought that maybe Ron and Hermione had something, because Ron had admitted a while ago that he might be interested in Hermione. However, Ron never made any effort to get something working with her. Ron said another time that he preferred a girl that he could be physical with (like with Parvati) and did not want to battle with a girlfriend as he normally did with Hermione. They always had rows with each other, bickering about almost everything. Those rows were never very serious and after an hour, everything was alright again.
Anyhow, he had his breakfast, and he had a very exciting morning with the Dursleys, something he never experienced up 'til now. He decided to clean his room for a change, because it had started to smell.
That evening after eating the "meals-on-wings" from Mrs. Weasley, he finally received reply from Hermione.
Dear Harry,
We have a deal. I'll teach you dancing and what you call etiquette and we'll go together to all the balls as friends. I think that is truly great, and I think I will enjoy teaching you very much.
When my mum found out about me agreeing to teach you etiquette, and that you only wanted to learn how to behave because you are my friend and want me to have a good time a the balls, she laughed and said to tell you that you must have been born a gentleman. My father told me to tell you that you are both gallant and insane to do such a thing. They would like to meet you this summer during holiday if that is possible.
Our trip to New York is canceled. My relatives were not able to make free time for our visit so we all decided to wait and see about next year. Since our trip is canceled, we would like to invite you to come to our place so that you and I can spend some time together outside of school. If you can make it here, we could start your training in dancing and etiquette and we could go some shopping together as well.
I know that you are sitting there counting the days before you can go back to school, so I decided to feel free to owl Professor Dumbledore to ask for his permission for you to stay with us for the rest of the summer or until we go to the Weasleys. If he agrees, then we can pick you up tomorrow morning at nine in the morning. We will arrive in our car, so your uncle and aunt will not get upset.
I hope this is alright with you, and if not, please owl me immediately.
We hope to see you tomorrow morning,
Harry jumped straight a up into the air, he was so exited. "That would be so great", he screamed. Downstairs he heard his uncle screaming "Quiet upstairs!" Harry halted immediately and decided to go ask his aunt and uncle about staying with Hermione right away. He left his room and went downstairs. He entered the kitchen, where his uncle was reading a newspaper as usual. Harry looked to his uncle and asked in a monotone voice; "Can I leave tomorrow morning to visit the Granger family?"
His uncle looked up from his newspaper and glared at him. "Why should I allow that?" he replied.
"Maybe I need to owl Moody and ask them for permission, and they might pick me up personally", Harry replied flatly.
His uncle paled and asked, "What kind of people are the Granger's?"
"My best friend is Hermione Granger, and I am invited to join her and her parents".
"Are you planning to come back this summer or are you staying there until you go to you so called school?" asked his uncle.
"I'm staying there until term starts".
His uncle looked at him and said nothing. After some minutes, his color became normal again and he said that it was alright with him. "I love that a freak like you is disappearing early this summer and not coming back until next".
Harry did not reply, but turned on heels and stormed up to the stairs to his room. He immediately started to pack all of his belongings into his trunk and prepared himself to leave tomorrow at nine o'clock. He kept out only a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, socks, underwear and his only pair shoes and he was ready to leave. But it was still early in the evening (eight o'clock), so he decided to write Sirius and Ron a letter to tell them where they could find him.
He told Ron where he was going and what he was planning to learn. He also told Ron that he should do the same and to learn how to handle himself around ladies and how to dance. He knew that Ron would laugh his head off, but Harry did not care. "I'd rather they laugh about me then cry".
After his letters to Sirius, he wrote a letter to Professor Dumbledore. He wrote that he thought it was a good idea to offer a course in etiquette and dancing for fourth years and up. He felt tired and prepared him self for sleep. He felt happy without his meditation and strangely excited for the weeks to come. He started to stretch his body and to do some exercises, for his meditation. He suddenly heard the flatter of an owl and saw the owl from Professor Dumbledore. "That was quick", he thought, but suddenly he thought that might not be the reply to his letter but maybe a letter to disagree with his trip to Hermione's parents house! He took the letter from the school-owl and opened it.
Dear Harry,
I received your letter and your proposition about lessons in etiquette. Professor McGonagall and I agree completely, but only for the fifth years and up, because the others are too young.
As the 31st of July is your seventeenth birthday, you will be expected to be present at Gringotts bank. Ask for the bank manager they will be expecting you that day. Ask Hermione to accompany with you.
Have a good time with the Grangers.
Professor Albus P.B. Dumbledore
Headmaster, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
"Great", Harry thought. "Now nothing can go wrong, and tomorrow morning I will be in the car with the Grangers. I wonder what etiquette really is and what they are going to teach me".

WSVN -- Fourteen-year-old Salihah Muhammad is a lean, green, money saving machine.
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "I go online, cut out Sunday paper coupons."
Salihah got into "couponing" after watching a cable TV show, and now, she helps her family save hundreds of dollars every time they shop.
Carmel Cafiero: "How much work does it take? You have to prepare, obviously."
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Well, it takes me eight hours on the weekends, and when I have time on the weekdays, usually two to four hours."
Salihah's efforts have been a big help to her big family.
She's one of nine children. Her dad is a public school teacher, and her mom is at home with a newborn.
Carmel Cafiero: "What difference has her couponing made for your family?"
Tanice Jackson, Proud Mom: "It's been a significant difference. There's certain items that she's able to amass, that we don't have to purchase anymore."
The family's stocked shelves tell the tale.
They're bursting with detergent, pasta, cereal, and lots of diapers.
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Back here, we have the stash full of diapers, the diaper stash. Don, don, don!"
She started couponing last summer.
Tanice Jackson, Proud Mom: "Salihah has saved us thousands, I would say maybe over $3,000."
Salihah says not all stores are willing to deal with her couponing, but she says her Publix store in Plantation is always pleased to see her, list and coupons in hand.
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "My target is to not spend anything out-of-pocket."
Carmel Cafiero: "So you want to get all of those items, and not have to pay anything?"
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Nothing at all."
Carmel Cafiero: "OK, let's see you do it. Go to town."
One of Salihah's strategies: add a coupon to a buy one, get one free deal and really save.
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "The I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is on sale for $3.69 for two. I have two $1 off coupons, making it only $1.69 for two."
But Salihah says she really racks up deals when she targets items where her coupon savings exceeds the cost of the item.
Carmel Cafiero: "So they're going to pay you to take these? How does that work?"
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Yeah. OK, these are regular price for 97 cents, and I have a $1 off Publix coupon, and a 50 cent off manufacturer."
Carmel Cafiero: "So you're going to make money?"
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Yeah, make 53 cents on every one I get."
The moment of truth arrives at the checkout register.
Her purchases totaled $188.96.
Publix Employee: "Do you have any coupons today?"
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Yes, I have coupons."
And that's when the fun begins, because she doesn't want to pay anything for all that stuff.
Carmel Cafiero: "Do you get nervous when you're watching?"
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Yes."
Carmel Cafiero: "How's she doing?"
Publix Employee: "She's doing good, it's coming down."
Salihah just missed her mark, but she was close.
Two full carts, nearly $200 in groceries, and the final bill: less than $3.
Publix Employee: "2.93. You did good."
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "Thank you."
The checkout line is not the only place young Salihah does good. She donates extra items to her church for needy families and also teaches couponing classes.
Tanice Jackson, Proud Mom: "It's something that she would like to teach women, especially who are of low economic circumstance."
They say there is no such thing as a free lunch. Clearly, that's not the case in this household.
Carmel Cafiero: "So every night, when you sit down at the table and there's something else that you got for free, what do you think?"
Salihah Muhammad, The Coupon Kid: "I'm like, 'Ooh, this tastes good, 'cause it's free.'"

The Same Girl Modeling Three of the Latest Bottoms
Chase Me Crops in the Wee Are From Space Print
Tried and True Inspire II Crops
Spirit Tight IIs in the Wee Are From Space Print
I love when the same model wears different styles and/or colors. In this case it's a little unfair to compare since the styles are in three different colors - Indigo Space Print, Black, Black Space Print. The Chase Me Crops are probably the most flattering - I think the dark sides are visually slimming - but we don't have a full-on front view to compare. I probably dislike the bottom the most because there is too much white in the pattern. I haven't really liked the Wee Are From Space print Spirit Tights on very many people.

Photos: Indigo Spirit Tights, Tracker II shorts, "Ribbed" CRB, Switch Back Half Zip, and More
I'm not sure I love the Wee Are From Space version of the Spirit Tight IIs but this version is very eye-catching. Shown with a coordinating Adjust Me bra in the Quiet Stripe pattern.
The Tracker II shorts are coming! These are Paris Pink and not another pink as we thought when we first saw them on the lulu website.
It's very hard to see but there are embossed vertical stripe on this Paris Pink Cool Racerback. I believe the version is referred to as being "ribbed." This is from Australia so not here yet. (Thanks to Megan for the photo.)
Some photos of the Switch Back Half Zip pullover. I like the simple design and hope it's coming in other colors.
These were called Turbo Run shorts in the caption but I think they look too short for Turbos - am I right? I think they are the Quiet Stripe Speed shorts.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship
between behavior and serotonin in nonhuman primates. METHOD: During a
routine capture and medical examination, 26 adolescent male rhesus macaques
(Macaca mulatta) were selected as subjects from a free-ranging population
of 4,500 rhesus monkeys inhabiting a 475-acre sea island. Blood samples (N
= 23) and CSF samples (N = 22) were obtained, and each subject was fitted
with a radio transmitter collar for rapid location. The subjects were
released into their social groups, and quantitative behavioral observations
were made over a 3-month period. RESULTS: CSF 5- hydroxyindoleacetic acid
(5-HIAA) concentration was positively correlated with three measures of
sociality: 1) total time spent grooming others, 2) total time spent in
close proximity to other group members, and 3) mean number of neighbors
within a 5-m radius. In addition, CSF 5-HIAA concentration was positively
correlated with age at emigration from the natal group (in months).
CONCLUSIONS: In adolescent male rhesus macaques living in naturalistic
settings, CSF 5- HIAA concentration is positively correlated with
affiliative sociality. Rhesus males with low CSF 5-HIAA concentrations
exhibit less social competence and emigrate from their social groups at a
younger age than do males with higher concentrations of CSF 5-HIAA.

I want you to come in the summer.
Leaves a vivid green across heartbreak-cerulean sky, and feet bare brown against scorching pavement. It would be nice; me in short-shorts and bikini tops, you with sun tan shoulders and that summer-boy scent. We could do anything.
There's a shaved ice place in downtown; we could run there barefoot and holding hands, smiling like it had been too many years (maybe it will have been). We could buy two large cones in our favorite flavors and gulp them hurriedly, before the sun ran the juices down their sides and it was lost in the long-long grass, sweet and temporary like so many things. I could lick the syrup off your fingertips and kiss you, finally, and we'd taste like tiger's blood and lemon-lime, and it would be wild summer love, like nothing else.
We could hop into your old pickup and drive to the ocean, just because. I'd pack us a cooler of chicken sandwiches and cherry tea, and fold towels in the back seat with worn out and tattered edges. We'd drive all day with the windows rolled down, blasting rockabilly songs and eating sunflower seeds; cracking the shells with our teeth and singing along. It would be a little slice of heaven between two metal doors, with my feet on the dash and my hair gathered up on top of my head, light-smeared and sun-warmed. I'd paint my nails hot pink, and we'd stop half way there to buy sunscreen and popsicles. The cashier at the gas station would notice how I ruffled up your hair and the special way you put your hands on my waist as I leaned into you, laughing in the candy aisle, and she would think that we were lovers who would grow old together, until we were frail and wrinkled and gray. And she would be right.
