PARIS (Reuters) - Renault
Renault shares rose as much as 9.8 percent to 37.725 euros on the news.
Carlos Ghosn, head of both carmakers, outlined the new goal at an internal presentation to Renault and Nissan managers, people who attended the Sept 25-26 meeting said. They asked not to be identified because the target has not been published.
"Ghosn said we need to seek further synergies to get to double where we are today," an alliance executive said.
In parallel with their operational savings push, Renault and Nissan are reviewing the cross shareholdings underpinning their 13-year-old alliance, people with knowledge of the matter said. Discussions are at a preliminary stage, they added.
Renault currently holds a 43.4 percent stake in its larger Japanese affiliate, which in turn owns 15 percent of Renault.
The companies would not comment on savings goals or the "shifting pendulum of speculation about the alliance's corporate structure", a Renault-Nissan spokeswoman said.
"We seek more and more synergies every year," she added.
To meet the new goal, the allied carmakers would centralize more activities under their joint holding company, Renault-Nissan BV, sources said.
The Dutch-registered venture, which already runs some purchasing and logistics operations for both companies, will extend into new markets such as Russia and broaden its remit in back-office functions such as information services, they added.
As of 1236 GMT, Renault shares were 8.7 percent higher at 37.33 euros. Nissan shares closed 1.4 percent higher in Tokyo earlier on Monday.
($1 = 0.7712 euros)

PLAYERS: Nazem Kadri, Tyler Bozak, Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul
TEAMS: Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers
TEAMS: Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Rangers
from Mike Brophy at NHL.com, The local reaction to Nazem Kadri's breakout NHL season for the Toronto Maple Leafs has varied, ranging from, "What took you so long?" to "Wow, I thought you'd have to be traded to finally make it here." The reality, though, is after a few false starts, the 22-year-old is proving beyond any reasonable doubt he belongs in the NHL. Entering their game Monday against the New York Rangers, Kadri leads the Leafs with 17 goals, and his team-best 39 points place him 11th in the League. There have been times in the past few weeks when he has been comfortably inside the top 10, and it wouldn't be a stretch to suggest he ultimately will finish there. Not bad for someone who, only a few months ago, was a healthy scratch with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League. While Kadri has not yet earned the role of No. 1 center on a team trying to make it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2004 -- tha...

Who would have guessed that boring old aspirin would end up being touted as the next wonder drug, with a new study adding cancer to the list of things that it's effective at treating? Yet evidence of the medical use of willow bark dates back at least 4,000 years, to a stone tablet found in the city of Ur in present day Iraq. Hippocrates also recommended it for childbirth and fever. But it wasn't until the 19th century that the chemical element was isolated and commercialised by the German manufacturer Bayer, who sold it alongside their other trademark product, Heroin. Bayer was forced to give up the trademark at the Treaty of Versailles, thus making it widely available and cheap. But the wonder-drug tag is dangerous, with some arguing that the overuse of aspirin during the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 made matters worse. Those who want to dose themselves up immediately might first take a cautionary history lesson.

First World Conference on Terraced Landscapes - Mengzi, China
|Example of Yuanyang's terraces
From 11-15 November 2010 the government of Honghe Prefecture will be hosting the First World Conference on Terraced Landscapes in Mengzi, Yunnan Province, P.R. China. The Ramsar Convention Secretariat will take an active part as one of the collaborating institutions.
This conference will be attended by international scholars and indigenous people with a common goal of promoting better understanding of terraced landscapes worldwide. The conference will highlight the importance of rice terraces and offer a platform for the exchange of ideas on terrace protection, sustainability challenges and solutions, conscientious development, landscape management, and examples of good practice around the world.
The conference will consist of six topical panels, one Forum discussion, and a two-day research excursion. The panels will focus on five themes: history, culture, & status quo of terraced agricultural landscapes around the world, tourism development in relation to local traditions and ecology, agro-ecosystems and terraced landscapes as bases for producing green products conservation and management of World Heritage terraced landscapes, Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS), policies, laws and regulations in terraced agricultural landscape administration.
In addition, the'Terraced-field Farmers' Forum will provide an opportunity for academics to work alongside farmers to share their opinions and knowledge on terraced landscapes. The panels and the forum will have its own moderator teams who will facilitate, with an academic chairperson to oversee the sessions and visualize discussions for all participants. The two day field trip will involve a visit to the Hani Rice Terraces and the surrounding villages.
The Conference is both timely and complementary, as the Ramsar Convention continues to encourage Contracting Parties to work towards raising greater awareness and recognition of the value of human-made wetlands, through designation of rice field ecosystems as Wetlands of International Importance.
Resolution X.31, which was adopted at Ramsar COP10, recognizes rice fields as an important landscape for world rice cultivation, which provides large areas of open water, important as animal and/or plant food sources, medicinal plants, and thus act as wetland systems which help to sustain livelihoods and human well-being in various regions. Rice fields also support important wetland biodiversity, such as reptiles, amphibians, fish, crustaceans, insects and molluscs, and play a significant role in waterbird flyways and the conservation of waterbird populations.

The holidays have become the traditional time for productions of the Nutcracker. The ballet, through Tchaikovsky's evocative score, depicts a child's inner life and imagination—a world transformed by dancing snowflakes and exotic lands of sweets and fantasy. What better time to indulge a bit of fantasy? Here are two, not-to-miss stagings, from the classic to modern interpretations.
A couple weeks ago in Times Square, Duracell marked the opening of their Smart Power Lab by unveiling the newest design for their Power Rovers.
At this point, you might be wondering: What is a Smart Power Lab? And what are these Power Rovers? Well, as most people know, one of the biggest celebrations to happen in New York City is the dropping of the New Year's Eve ball. No doubt a tremendous amount of electricity is used for this iconic event.
As a kid, I always looked forward to celebrating St. Nicholas's Day in early December, when one of the older men at my church would dress up as St. Nicholas in traditional bishop's robes and pass out delicious gingerbread cookies the size of my head.
Czechs also celebrate St. Nicholas's Day (Mikuláš in Czech), but they do it with a sinister twist.
The holy month of Ramadan began Aug. 22, and over 1 billion Muslims around the globe will be observing it by fasting from sunrise to sunset for 30 days. They'll be waking up early for a hearty suhoor meal before dawn and an iftar dinner after sunset. Sound hard? Well, it is, but different cultures have found unique ways to celebrate this sacred time.
-The first day of Ramadan is greeted with fireworks and celebrations in the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
-In Dubai, a loud canon booms when it's time to stop eating in the morning and to break fast at sunset.
Muslims in Cairo keep things festive at night, reveling by staying up late after evening prayers to eat and smoke sheesha till the early hours of the morning.
Weekend getaways are more popular than ever—and why not? You get an overnight and two days of vacation without missing a beat. I recently spent time in Cooperstown, New York. It's a 4-hour drive from New York City–but well worth the ride. Here, some suggested stops (and Father's Day freebies):

2009 marks the Federal-style grand dame's 100th year.

The perfect reward for a round of golf at the meticulously kept Leatherstocking course (below) is an al fresco lunch at the Hawkeye Bar & Grill overlooking Otesego Lake (and the 18th hole).

Quad FM3 Tuner
The Quad FM3 Tuner was Quad's second tuner and quickly became the audiophile tuner of the 1970's. It was also Quad first transistor tuner, the Quad FM2 being a tube design, although there were some late version tube Quad FM2 that appeared in the same casing as the Quad FM3 bundled with a transistor based stereo decoder but these are quite rare as only about 7,500 units were ever produced.
The Quad FM3 Tuner was very simple to operate, you had a large tuner wheel to the left of tuning scale - when a suitable signal was found a red led would light up below the tuning scale and the Quad FM3 Tuner also had another red led to indicate a stereo signal had been found. Whilst the Quad FM3 Tuner had no presets as such, the tuning scale on the Quad FM3 Tuner did have five adjustable white pointers which could be moved up and down the scale so that the listener had a guide to help them tune into a desired station.
The Quad FM3 Tuner was a very natural sounding tuner and many are still sought after today because of this. As with all truly great tuners, a good quality aerial was a must and the Quad FM3 Tuner was able to accept either a 75 ohm coaxial or a 300 ohm balanced type of aerial.
The Quad FM3 Tuner was discontinued in the 1982 with the advent of the Quad FM4 Tuner, but in the 11 years it was in production, it still managed sales of over 50,000 units. The Quad FM3 Tuner is a classic FM tuner with a very classic sound.

Are there any people doing upgrades for the FM3?
Just bought one and worried it may be noisy like my Leak - even though I have a good aerial.

The FM3 does not need an up-grade. It may need servicing and would strongly recommend that you entrust this only to Quad. They will service this unit for you if you send it to them and it will come back as new, although make sure that there is a good strong signal coming into the tuner first. The ones I have are still in good condition after a very long period of time. From your question, it seems as though you haven't connected it up yet. Is this correct? I would be very surprised if it was in any way noisy or hissy. Spend a few days getting used to all the controls and don't forget the threshold mute control. This is to mute the inter station noise when changing stations. It's in the book.
Lpspinner Says:
January 13th, 2010 at 3:05 AM
I agree. The only thing the FM3 may need is a re-alignment (my 1975 sample doesn't even need this after nearly 35 years) and also replace the two electrolytic capacitors in the main power supply as these will be getting quite old and may be leaking their electrolyte. To my ears the FM3 is the star of the QUAD 3 series and still sounds exquisite in the context of a modern system.
Having said the above however; If you are going to use the FM3 to feed into a modern amplifier you may need to shunt the output capacitors with a 1 uf film capacitor as the original capacitors were originally intended to drive a 100K load, otherwise the FM3 may sound a little Bass shy.

When does bad Customer Service supersede good food?
- a
- AzDumpling Apr 10, 2008 10:52 AM
Fairly new here and perhaps this is a topic that has been discussed to death in the past. Brought to mind by some recent posts regarding Zinc Bistro on he Southwest board as well as by somewhat recent posts regarding the Original Pancake House (Pancake Nazis) that is located in Scottsdale.
At what point does it simply become too much for you to take in order to enjoy the food you like? If the service is somewhat surly or indifferent will you tolerate it in order to enjoy a first class dinner? Is the service as important to you as the food you are eating. Where do you draw the line?
>>When does bad Customer Service supersede good food?
Hmmm. Bad might mean different things to different people. There are steak and pizza places here in NY where the servers are gruff, grumpy, short and no nonsense. While not my idea of good service, this is a hallmark of the restaurants. That said, the food comes quickly, the patron isn't rushed, and on the two places I have in mind, the food is very, very good.
Then again, there are the restaurants which rush me. I hate being rushed. Loathe it, in fact. So, since that is my ultimate deal breaker, I won't go back to a place that rushes me, even if they had the best food on the planet.
>>Is the service as important to you as the food you are eating.
I'd have to say it is more important.
There really are a lot of variables to this question. I've got a high threshold for things (slow service, being rushed, indifference). Now, if it takes over an hour to receive my food with no apologies or explanations whatsoever, that's a different story (which happened to DH once). But I detest rudeness (and I'm talking more than the typical steakhouse type). Luckily, this hasn't happened very often. But I refuse to eat at a place if the people are rude, no matter how good the food is.
There isn't a specific way to quantify the "point". Often I realize the point has been crossed in retrospect. Usually it manifests as great reluctance to revisit a place. That's when I realize the the service has tainted the food for me. If the food is really good, I won't write it off immediately - it takes several experiences to get me to that stage.
re: meatn3
>> it takes several experiences to get me to that stage.
Do you give several experiences to places that don't give a tinker's damn about the dining patron, meatn3? I give them two visits and that's it.
re: meatn3
>> it takes several experiences to get me to that stage.
Do you give several experiences to a place that doesn't give a tinker's damn about dining patrons, meatn3? I give them two visits, and that's it.
I have a little red line. Good experiences at a place make my attitude toward a place move below the red line. Bad experiences at a place make my attitude toward a place move toward the red line. If the red line gets reached, I don't visit the place again.
The velocity at which the red line gets approached can be very rapid indeed (one visit) or take two or three visits. And, since I'm human, depending on the day/week I've had, the distance to the red line can be a lot shorter and that might make me cross a place off my list unfairly. Or slightly unfairly. But that's life.
re: Pincus
Great reply, Pincus. I guess you could call your tolerance level the 'thin red line.'
It depends on the type of food at the restaurant. If it's something I can make a version of at home as well (or better), then bad service pretty much means I'm done with a place. If it's a type of food I can't make well or at all and is really good, I'll put up with more bad service because it's my only access to that particular type of cuisine.
That being said, there's little I can't live without and the main point of eating out is being served rather than hassling to cook my own food. Overall, the service is just as important (if not moreso) than the food itself.
As someone who has worked for years in customer service management, and has had a stint in the service industry managing a cafe/bar, customer service is a big deal to me--and I have rather high standards. I also know what it's like to work in customer-centric industries so I know that sometimes people in these industries just start hating their clientele. I can tell when a waiter/waitress/manager simply just does not care. Conversely I can tell when they are just trying to shut me up.
I think that a lot of people in these industries could benefit from sensitivity/empathy training--it's been my experience that those who are most empathetic tend to give the best service so I always teach my employees to think about how they'd react and what they'd expect if something were happening to them.
re: Aspiring Foodie
>>I always teach my employees to think about how they'd react and what they'd expect if something were happening to them.
Exactly, my point always with servers and managers. Good for you, Aspiring Foodie.
When I choose to spend my money for a meal in a restaurant I look into whether the establishment serves good food. It is relatively easy to find reviews for most places that would interest me. I often simply assume the service will not be an issue. I don't go into a restaurant expecting to be fawned over or to develop a personal rapport with my server but likewise I would hope for a pleasant evening in which the dining experience does not get overshadowed by service issues. To expect Commander's Palace service everywhere one goes is expecting far too much.
The service issue works both ways as many customers seem to think it is perfectly acceptable to be rude and indifferent to restaurant staff. I have never been one to do that but I have seen it many times. It is a difficult industry to work in and a difficult job in which to please everyone.
What I will not tolerate is sloppy service and an uncaring and indifferent attitude when I do not give the server reason to treat me badly. I suppose it comes down to being made to feel like my business is appreciated and my patronage of the establishment is something that is welcomed. I might have the best piece of meat or fish sitting in front of me that I have ever been served but if the staff is cold and uncaring, requests are not filled somewhat promptly and a sense of hospitality has not been extended I will never return for another meal. There are simply too many good places to dine for me to want to frequent a place where I do not feel welcomed.

Imagine yourself driving this around your neighborhood? What do you think will people say? If you want to find out, you can now buy one of the five Batmobiles on eBay!
Here it is one of 5 cars that could have been in the "Batman" movie staring Micheal Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Five cars were built for the movie and this car is the number five car. Being that this car originally was owned by Warner Bros productions it is important to note that the buyer will have to sign a contract with them and some other legal items.
The car is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The chassis is custom built and the motor is a Chevrolet 350. There an o doors on the door. To get in you have to be able to enter through the top where the canopy opens, just like in the movie.
And the starting bid is a bargain: $500.000! Just joking!

He was 14 yrs. 6mos. and 5 days old —- and the youngest person executed in the United States in the 20th Century
George Junius Stinney, Jr. [b. 1929 - d. 1944]
In a South Carolina prison sixty-six years ago, guards walked a 14-year-old boy, bible tucked under his arm, to the electric chair. At 5' 1" and 95 pounds, the straps didn't fit, and an electrode was too big for his leg.
The switch was pulled and the adult sized death mask fell from George Stinney's face. Tears streamed from his eyes. Witnesses recoiled in horror as they watched the youngest person executed in the United States in the past century die.
Now, a community activist is fighting to clear Stinney's name, saying the young boy couldn't have killed two girls. George Frierson, a school board member and textile inspector, believes Stinney's confession was coerced, and that his execution was just another injustice blacks suffered in Southern courtrooms in the first half of the 1900s.
Stinney was accused of killing two white girls, 11 year old Betty June Binnicker and 8 year old Mary Emma Thames, by beating them with a railroad spike then dragging their bodies to a ditch near Acolu, about five miles from Manning in central South Carolina. The girls were found a day after they disappeared following a massive manhunt. Stinney was arrested a few hours later, white men in suits taking him away. Because of the risk of a lynching, Stinney was kept at a jail 50 miles away in Columbia.
Stinney's father, who had helped look for the girls, was fired immediately and ordered to leave his home and the sawmill where he worked. His family was told to leave town prior to the trial to avoid further retribution. An atmosphere of lynch mob hysteria hung over the courthouse. Without family visits, the 14 year old had to endure the trial and death alone.
Frierson hasn't been able to get the case out of his head since, carrying around a thick binder of old newspaper stories and documents, including an account from an execution witness.
The sheriff at the time said Stinney admitted to the killings, but there is only his word — no written record of the confession has been found. A lawyer helping Frierson with the case figures threats of mob violence and not being able to see his parents rattled the seventh-grader.
This is horrifying. This is so horrifying. Oh my god.

TEAMS: Charlotte Hornets
This brings a whole new meaning to the Jordan Rules. Apparently, he makes his own. The NBA's greatest player of all-time and current bumbling owner of the Charlotte, Michael Jordan, is well-known for his love of high-stakes gambling. What you may not have known is that it wasn't just money that he would play for. Well, that's if we are to believe former MTV-VJ Kennedy. She is now 40, but when Lisa Kennedy Montogomery was just getting into the media business, she found herself sitting opposite of his Airness along with Russell Simmons in 1995 while having dinner. According to her new memoir, "The Kennedy Chronicles", via TMZ, Jordan suggested a game of dice. Because it's like the grown up version of spin the bottle. Oh, the title of the chapter? "MJ and the VJ," of course. But it wasn't just a game where money would be involved, as Jordan than said "If I win, you come back to my hotel room with me tonight." I don't care who you are, or how great you are at what you do, that takes big friggin balls to say to someone. According to Kennedy, she figured that is what he had, and [...]

If you're new to Greenwich Village, and you're walking along admiring its townhouses and co-ops, the spot where West Fourth Street crosses West Tenth Street might cause you to scratch your head a little. Even the Village's most modern luxury condos get a bit of European charm from the meandering, tree-lined streets, leftovers from the 19th century, when Greenwich Village was new development, started up before the city's grid plan.

Justices Hear School Strip-search Arguments
Associated Press: An Arizona teenager's lawyer told the Supreme Court Tuesday that school officials were out of bounds when they ordered the student to remove her clothes during a search for the equivalent of two Advils.
Savana Redding was 13 years old when Safford Middle School officials searched her for prescription-strength ibuprofen pills.
School officials argue that the search was reasonable and justified because pills had been found on campus and another student had linked them to Redding. But Redding's lawyers say school officials violated the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches.
Redding is now a 19-year-old college freshman living in her hometown of Safford in rural eastern Arizona.
The Supreme Court will also issue opinions Tuesday.
A 1985 Supreme Court decision that dealt with searching a student's purse has found that school officials need only reasonable suspicions, not probable cause. But the court also warned against a search that is "excessively intrusive."

Chapter 10 : Timing Is Key - Part I
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
- Blaise Pascal
I have found the reason for abandoned classrooms. You know what that is? Making out with your boyfriend in private. And its not just classrooms. I have found a new appreciation for the many things in the school that I had taken for granted. Even places I went with Pucey seemed that bit better because it was with George.
And it wasnt just that we spent all our time making out, although I wouldnt of had a problem with that. We actually spent a lot of time talking like we used to. It was like it was the same relationship as it was before the kiss except well, I just winked, if thats a big enough hint as to what was added after the kiss.
The only thing that was disappointing about the making out, was that I would really have rather had a more private setting. Anyone could walk into a classroom, and you were really on open ground when it came around to the outside. Nevertheless, I made do with what we had. And we certainly used as much of the advantage of secret space as possible, and only over a couple of weeks, I might add.
However, the magic was momentarily broken when we just found out the news we had been rather preoccupied beforehand.
But, theres no such thing as a High Inquisitor in Hogwarts, I stated, after I had been moaning on and on about it for the past couple of weeks.
George glanced at the day old Daily Prophet. Well, there is now.
Oh put it away, barked Magda bleakly. I see enough of her face in class.
Laughing, I folded the Daily Prophet, still cautious about the fact that George and I were wasting these precious moments here, when we could be snogging and-slash-or having some wonderful form of intimate discussion.
George clearly felt the same, because he squeezed my hand, but his brother came over and he was immediately stolen from me. Fair enough, who was I to separate siblings? It took a lesbian couple to break Verity and me apart, so I highly doubt that anything would be breaking up the Weasley twins any time soon. In fact, theyre so close I think that the only thing that could possibly make them fly solo would be death, but that wont be happening within the next hundred years.
On the plus side, theres a Hogsmeade trip soon! You know what that means!
Work, said Magda plainly.
What? Bella looked at Magda with a shocked expression.
We promised that wed help out with Madam Rosmerta whenever she needed us. I could do with the money.
Yeah, I agreed, Im saving up for a broom. I laughed to myself, but I understood that I only got the joke so I stopped and my friends started to not look at me like I was a raving lunatic again.
So youre not going to go around with us? asked Amy calmly.
Magda shrugged her shoulders. You guys can have a drink of Butterbeer. Well see you then.
Its still not the same, murmured Bella.
Of course, because you missed us so much on Valentines day?
That was different, argued Amy.
Yes, you two werent single, I said coolly.
Bella rolled her eyes. Well now youre the one whos not single, so feel free to gloat.
Oh, I shall when the time seems right, I said with a distant smile. However, this means that I also cant be with him, so theres not much to gloat about really.
Yes, but
You can back out if you want to, said Hermione irritably to Lavender and Parvati, but if you want to really learn Defence Against the Dark Arts, then theres no other way, really.
Whats going on? I mouthed to the others, who shrugged their shoulders.
After a while of eavesdropping, Magda sighed and yelled, Granger.
Hermione lifted up her head, looking slightly insulted, but came towards Magda anyway when she was beckoned. Honesty, Hermione should really consider getting some assertiveness. If I was her, I would have barked back. But thats just because I know Magda more.
Whats going on?
Oh, its nothing, just a little
My eyes were wide. I like nothings. When they looked at me, I explained, The last time I heard that something was nothing, it turned out that George wanted to kiss me. I then turned towards Hermione, remembering she was there, and said, So, come on, what is it?
Well, Hermione bent down and said in a low whisper, every one agrees that Professor Umbridge is an awful teacher
Oh, are we calling her Professor Umbridge, now? Magda mouth twisted slightly, concealing the grin that was about to form. I thought we just called her Umbridge, or toad face or uptight b-
Yes well, anyway, the point is that some of us have decided to do something about it.
Were going to kill her? I asked eagerly. Excellent.
No. Hermiones face looked aghast. No, weve just decided that maybe we could have our own lessons on the side.
Youre mad, stated Amy severely. We might not kill Umbridge, but if she found out about it, she will kill us.
But, we need to learn these things, and Harry what?
I could tell that the other three was looking at me. Finally able to catch my breath, I said, Harry Harrys leading this group of yours?
Well yes hes teaching it. I know that people doubt him
Im in.
Anne! We could get into serious trouble
Im in, I repeated.
Bella gave me a pleading look. If Umbridge finds out
Im in.
I think itll be fun, said Magda brightly. I love this girl. Why on Earth did I ever hate her? Oh yeah, the Oliver thing. No matter, thats done with now. We were both fools in love.
Not that I loved him.
Just a little infatuation.
And Magda certainly didnt love him. Or did she? She could have been lying all that time and just holding it in. But I technically wanted him first. It was just a secret from everyone including myself. But I dont want him in that way or any way. You know what? Magda can have him! Not that I want him.
Hes not the one I love.
I love Harry no George wait. OK, lets just figure this out. Oliver Wood is a prick decided. Harry is a godsend fair enough. George well, hes my boyfriend, my boyfriend George Weasley. Hes amazing, and kind, and as it turns out, a bloody good kisser. So, thats it. I love George.
But can you actually love someone so early on in a relationship? Well, we have technically been dating since late June so it has been four months. Is that enough time to realise that you love someone? It took me until early June to realise that I l was infatuated with Oliver. However, I suppose you cant control these things. So thats settled then? I love George.
Now if I could find out a way to tell him
I was brought back to the room. Erm Im in?
Hermione grinned lopsidedly. Great. Well, anyones whos interested can come to the meeting. Its in the Hogs Head, on the next Hogsmeade
Youre kidding? asked Magda and I in unison. Notice the amazing grammar. Eh? Eh?
Amy beamed wholeheartedly. I guess you two cant go then.
Unless someone takes our place? suggested Magda, looking to Amy and Bella.
Now youre kidding, retorted Bella.
Come on, you two dont really want to go, anyway.
You can keep the gold you earn, I added brightly.
Tapping her fingers on the table, Amy finally breathed out in aggravation and said, Fine.
Fine? Bella did not seem half as pleased as me or Magda.
Yes, fine. I know, we spoil them, said Amy, much to our amusement, but you know they wont stop until she gets to talk to Harry anyway.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and I turned red, hissing, Shut up.
I stood with Magda and Bella, waiting for Amy in the Great Hall. Honestly, I dont get why she has to spend so much time on her hair. She has a wand. And besides, whats the actual point in doing her hair anyway? She has no one to impress. Unless unless shes finally seen sense and started liking Fred again. Maybe. I mean, yes, shes probably still choked up about Cedric, but its good to know that shes moving on. It could happen, shes been getting better at a very impressive rate.
Anne! Seamus came strolling towards us and Bella immediately ran her fingers through her hair elegantly. You have to love her sometimes.
Hey, Seamus.
Is Amy not with you? he asked curiously.
Shes on her way, said Magda. We can be apart, you know?
I know I was just hows everyone?
I looked to Bella for her to answer, but she didnt say anything. Now was not the time to lose a nerve! Why are women always so dumb when it comes to love? I would say that I would have been better in the situation, but I probably wouldnt have been.
Were fine, I said finally. Although, me and Magda have landed Amy and Bella into working at the Three Broomsticks, just because were amazing.
Yeah, amazing but seriously, why?
Because Anne and Magda have to head off to a meeting, said Bella nervously.
Seamus smiled at Bella and she immediately started looking down at the ground. Seamus glanced at me, confused, and then said, Are you going to see Harry and people?
So youre going to that?
Thats the plan, I said cautiously. I had forgotten that he was still anti-Potter at the moment.
Ill walk with you and Amy!
Amy stopped dead in front of us and politely smiled. Hey, Seamus.
Ill come with you guys, since Im not going
Oh, you dont need to, interjected Amy.
While I glared at Amy, Bella thanked him and we continued onwards. Was Amy stupid or something? We need him around as much as possible, if we want him to get over Lavender. Sometimes I just dont get people Do I have to do everything to make Bella and Seamus work? I have to say, part of me is rather pleased with myself. Its as if Im growing up even more, by making a romance plan actually work.
Once we had left in two groups, which Amy still didnt seem pleased with the dunce Magda and I began to head off towards the Hogs Head, even though neither or us were completely sure where it was. I remembered passing it every now and again, but I had never particularly looked out for it or anything. I had always heard that it was a bit of a dodgy place, but anything that involved Harry couldnt seem dark in any way.
I managed just to catch up with the Weasley twins, and after a hello kiss from George, we entered, and I found out that it certainly wasnt a small group. There had to be a whole bunch of us there. Fred came back to order Butterbeers for us... all twenty five of us.
Even though the barman, who looked strangely familiar, didnt seem happy by the increase in numbers, he still obeyed and got all the bottles out. After we all paid for our drinks, we sat down and then looked towards Harry. I was sitting beside George, so I made a note not too look too excited to see him, especially since I needed to redeem myself since the last crash landing.
Everyone then became silent and I was under the impression that something had begun, because Hermione was looking nervously around as they all looked at her. I felt kind of bad, considering how nervous she was. This was then interrupted by some kid asking about the importance of OWL grades, in her opinion, and whether or not she cared. No, Hermione Granger, the hardest working person on the planet, was actually planning on failing. Who is this kid?
Of course I do. But more than that, I want to be properly trained in defence because because because Lord Voldemort is back. - J.K Rowling, OOTP, pg 303 (British Version)]
This generally shocked the room, and I was with them on this one. Nobody had said anything about him for so long that it was rather frightening to hear his name out loud. Even though Magda pretended not to be scared, her hands were firmly gripped on the seat. And as for me, well I dont think George appreciated me almost breaking his hand.
Zacharias then began to be a complete prick. This is hardly surprising. Zacharias has made a point of annoying me until I'm on the verge of punching him. However, he was finally forced to end his argument at a complete halt, when Harry calmed down Hermione. It was the first time in the meeting that Harry had spoken and he now had our complete and utter attention. Well, he certainly had mine at least, but the silence showed that everyone else was with me on this one. I didn't even immediately listen to his words, but rather watching the sombre way that he was saying it.
Even though nobody else would have dared to say anything, Zacharias replied about how all we knew was that Cedric died, and hinted that we might want to hear what had happened. This was true, in a sense, but seriously, shut up.
Harry then gave an ultimatum. That if we just wanted to know how Cedric died, we should leave. I could tell that Magda was under a dilemma, but I knew exactly what I was going to do, since I was practically glued to my seat. I was half expecting random people in the room to walk out, but everyone stayed in their seats, completely drawn towards Harrys presence. Oh, so now its all right to stare at Harry like that, but when I do it OK, Im going off topic, especially since its a rather important one at the moment. In fact, a great amount of enthusiasm began, asking him about how he could make a patronus.
"I didn't know that," commented Magda.
Pulling on imaginary straps and letting it free, I replied, "Well, you really need to be a big fan to know these things."
Then came the real bomb shell when we found out he killed a Basilisk. Harry agreed and this made the crowd in front of him even more impressed. Not even I knew that I just knew that he managed to get out alive after saving Ginny Weasley. But now that I did know it, I loved him even more. But I also loved George Weasley. I cant forget that I love George Weasley. I have to remember to tell him that at some point.
"I'm so glad I have a big fan like you as a mate," said Magda in response to my blank expression, rather smugly.
"Shut up."
There were then some other stories about Harry brought up. The first was Neville talking about the Philosophers Stone which I also had never found out before, making me feel like less of a stalker by the second. And then Cho talked about the Triwizard Tournament, which surprised me. I would have thought that she would never want to talk about that again. I know that Amy would never.
Then again, Zacharias was back to being his pricky self, to which I asked George, "Can't anyone stop this guy?" This is where he and his brother and promptly threatened him with some sort of metal contraption. Wow. Talk about scary I really want to be apart of this family.
After everyone agreed that the lessons would continue, people then began to decide on when or where, which generally got us nowhere because people desperately needed to train for Quidditch. I mean, apart from me and Magda, it seemed like everyone did Quidditch.
I, personally, began Ernie Macmillan, am at a loss to see why the Ministry had foisted OK, what does foisted mean? - foisted such a useless teacher on us at this critical period. I mean, hes certainly fancy, isnt he?- J.K Rowling, OOTP, pg 307 (British Version)]
I zoned out slightly when Hermione began to speak, made worse when Looney Lovegood began discussing how Fudge had an army of some sort of creature, Magda began shaking with laughter. When I looked at her suspiciously, she said, Well, were not much of an rebel force, are we? I think some of us are more likely to kill one of the people here rather than anyone in the Ministry.
There was some more non Harry talking - which I think I shouldve been listening to. But Harry was looking just so cute, I just wanted to throw my arms around him. Sadly, I had Georges arms around me. No, not sad, I love him! What is wrong with me?
Finally, it came to filling in our names on the registration form. I'm not sure if that was its actual name; I'm not kidding, it's impossible to give your utter attention to Hermione. It's her voice. Even though me, the twins, Magda and a few other people got up, others were seeming a bit hesitant about putting their name down. For Merlins sake, its just a piece of parchment, it wont bite. Or will it? I learnt after our third-year, after a nasty incident with my Care of Magical Creatures book, that you really have to watch out for these things.
There was some disagreement from Ernie and surprise, surprise Zacharias Smith.
Standing up, Fred said, Well, times ticking on. George, Lee and I have got items of a sensitive nature to purchase. Well be seeing you all later. - J.K Rowling, OOTP, pg 309 (British Version)]
When they began to leave, I grabbed hold of Georges arm. Are you going to be leaving me?
Sorry, dont miss me too much, he commanded.
Ill try.
Walking away, he said, See you.
OK, I love you!
When I said to tell him, I didnt mean now!
A/N: I know that it might seem like there wasnt that much originality in this chapter, and that it was slightly AU because of Anne being at the meeting, but come on, did you really think that I would not have Anne joining the DA.
Also, present A/N: I've submitted this to the queue, but I was pretty stupid, and forgot to credit JK for her amazing dialogue. But I have it sorted, and plan to keep my steady flow of updates. So, just don't forget about me, OK? Because I'm actually almost done writing this thing and only the final of the trilogy. Exciting, huh? But I still want readers around, so don't you DARE leave me! x

The Romantic

1 - The Originator .. 1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural. Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn some diplomacy skills. They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them. Lesson to learn: Others' ideas might be just as good or better and to stay open minded. Famous 1's are Don Kotula, Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett, Wynonna Judd, Nancy Reagan, and Raquel Welch. 2 - The Peacemaker ... 2's are the born diplomats. They are aware of others' needs and moods and often think of others before themselves.Naturally analytical and very intuitive they don't like to be alone. Friendship and companionship are very important and can lead them to be successful in life, but on the other hand, they'd rather be alone than in an uncomfortable relationship. Being naturally shy, they should learn to boost their self-esteem and express themselves freely and seize the moment and not put things off. Famous 2's are President Bill Clinton, Madonna, Whoopee Goldberg, Thomas Edison, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. 3 - The Life Of The Party ... 3's are idealists. They are very creative, social, charming, romantic, and easygoing. They start many things, but don't always see them through. They like others to be happy and go to great lengths to achieve it. They are very popular and idealistic. They should learn to see the world from a more realistic point of view. Famous 3's are Alan Alda, Ann Landers, Bill Cosby, Melanie Griffith, Salvador Dali, and Jodi Foster. 4 - The Conservative ... 4's are sensible and traditional. They like order and routine. They only act when they fully understand what they are expected to do. They like getting their hands dirty and working hard. They are attracted to the outdoors and feel an affinity with nature. They are prepared to wait and can be stubborn and persistent. They should learn to be more flexible and to be nice to themselves. Famous 4's are Neil Diamond, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tina Turner, Paul Hogan, and Oprah Winfrey. 5 - The Nonconformist ... 5's are the explorers. Their natural curiosity, risk taking, and enthusiasm often land them in hot water. They need diversity, and don't like to be stuck in a rut. The whole world is their school and they see a learning possibility in every situation. The questions never stop. They are well advised to look before they take action and make sure they have all the acts before jumping to conclusions. Famous 5's are Abraham Lincoln, Charlotte Bronte, Jessica Walter, Vincent Van Gough, Bette Midler, Helen Keller, and Mark Hail. 6 - The Romantic ... 6's are idealistic and need to feel useful to be happy. A strong family connection is important to them. Their actions influence their decisions. They have a strong urge to take care of others and to help. They are very loyal and make great teachers. They like art or music. They make loyal friends who take friendship seriously. 6's should learn to differentiate between what they can change and what they cannot. Famous 6's are Charlie Sheen, Albert Einstein, Jane Seymour, John Denver, Meryl Streep, Christopher Columbus, and Goldie Hawn. 7 - The Intellectual ... 7's are the searchers. Always probing for hidden information, they find it difficult to accept things at face value. Emotions don't sway their decisions. Questioning everything in life, they don't like to be questioned themselves. They're never off to a fast start, and their motto is, "Slow and Steady Wins the Race". They come across as philosophical and being very knowledgeable, and sometime as loners. They are technically inclined and make great researchers uncovering information. They love to uncover secrets. They live in their own quiet world and could do a better job of learning what is acceptable in the world at large. Famous 7's are William Shakespeare, Lucille Ball, Michael Jackson, Joan Baez, and Princess Diana. 8 - The Big Shot ... 8's are the Problem Solvers. They are professional, blunt and to the point, have good judgment and are decisive. They have grand plans and like to live the good life. They take charge of people. They view people objectively. They let you know in no uncertain terms that they are the boss. They should learn to exude their decisions on their own needs rather than what others want. Famous 8's are Edgar Cayce, Barbara Streisand, George Harrison, Jane Fonda, Pablo Picasso, Aretha Franklyn, and Nostradamus. 9 - The Performer ... 9's are natural entertainers. They are very caring and generous, giving away their last dollar to help. With their charm they have no problem making friends and nobody is a stranger to them. They have so many different personalities that people around them have a hard time understanding them. They are like chameleons, ever changing and blending in. They have tremendous luck, but also can suffer from extreme in fortune and mood. To be successful, they need to build a loving foundation.

Managing Boxelder Bugs
Black and orange bugs congregated on the sunny side of your house in fall are likely boxelder bugs. They are not harmful to plants and people, but certainly are annoying. The immature bugs feed on ground level vegetation throughout the summer. The adults move to female boxelder trees, a type of maple, and occasionally to other maples and ash trees to eat and lay eggs. Their feeding does not harm the trees. The problem usually occurs when the adults seek a warm sunny spot, usually the side of your home, to warm themselves in fall. As temperatures cool they often find their way indoors through cracks and crevices. Repair and fill any crevices to keep these insects out of the house. Manage high populations by vacuuming as they congregate or spray the side of your house with soapy water. Test the siding first to make sure the soapy solution will not change the color of your siding. A bit more information: Removing the tree is not guaranteed to solve the problem. Adults can fly and may find their way to the sunny side of your home. Better to seal the house to keep them out or learn to live with these annoying pests.

Harvest and Enjoy Edamame (Soy)
Get the best flavor and nutritional value from your homegrown edamame, also known as edible soybeans, with proper harvesting and care. Harvest soybeans when the pods are plump, green, rough, and hairy. Check frequently and pick when the seeds are fully enlarged, but before they get hard and begin yellowing. Waiting too long to harvest the seeds reduces the flavor and quality. Since the seed-filled pods usually ripen at the same time, you can pull up the whole plant and harvest the seeds from the pods, while sitting on a chair in the shade. Use them cooked or uncooked as a snack or as a fiber rich ingredient with other vegetables and meat dishes. Many gardeners eat them right out of the pod like peanuts. Boil or steam the pods for 4 to 5 minutes, cool under running water and pop the seeds out of the pods. Use immediately or freeze after cooking. A bit more information: These nutritious legumes help promote overall health, reducing the risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Plus, the high fiber in soy helps fight colon and some other cancers. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Add Color to the Fall Landscape with Asters
Add some color to your fall garden with Asters. Brighten up your container gardens with a few of these fall beauties. Or create fall containers filled with asters, ornamental grasses and pansies. Set them in a pretty pot on your front steps to welcome guests to your home. Or place on decks and tabletops as a seasonal centerpiece. Move them into the garden as they fade. Or add to the compost pile where they can eventually help improve your garden's soil. Use asters to replace fading annuals or fill in voids in your garden. They grow and flower best in full sun with well-drained soil. Asters are hardy in zones 4 to 8, but can be grown as an annual anywhere they are sold. Leave the plants intact for winter to increase overwintering success. Northern gardeners often cover the plants with evergreen boughs or straw once the ground is frozen. A bit more information: The plant taxonomists have been at it again. The plants we commonly call Aster have been reclassified and names for these new groups include Symphyotrichum, Ionactis, Eurybia, and Doellingeria.

Eco-friendly Crabgrass Control
Reduce crabgrass problems in your lawn and garden with a few basic lawn and garden care practices. Crabgrass is an annual weed grass with a small fibrous root system. The wide grass blades lay flat on the ground. Each fall they release hundreds of seeds before dying. Crabgrass thrives in hot dry weather. Reduce the problem in your lawn by mowing high and often. The taller grass shades the soil, preventing many weed seeds from sprouting. Leave clippings on the lawn and fertilize at least once, preferably in the fall, to help your lawn grass outcompete the weeds. Pull the plants in the garden before they set seed. This will reduce the number of weeds you'll be fighting next year. Mulch the garden with shredded leaves, evergreen needles or other organic material. The mulch will help prevent many of the weed seeds, including the crabgrass, from sprouting. It also helps keep roots cool and moist. A bit more information: If cultural control measures have failed, you may consider the organic pre-emergent crabgrass killer made from corn gluten meal. Apply in spring about the time the forsythias are in bloom. These chemicals prevent seed germination. This means both the weed and good grass seeds will be affected. Wait until late summer or fall to reseed or overseed treated lawns. And as always be sure to read and follow label directions carefully.

Starting Roses from Seed
Expand your garden and have a little fun by growing a few plants from the seeds of your favorite rose. Collect the rose hips, those berry-like fruit on your roses, as soon as they are fully colored. Cut open the rose hip exposing the seeds. Soak the seeds 12 to 24 hours, drain and mix with equal parts of moistened sphagnum moss and vermiculite in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least three months. You can begin planting the seeds anytime after the chilling period is complete. Plant seeds in a container filled with a mixture of sphagnum moss and vermiculite. Keep the mixture warm and moist. Move to a sunny window or under artificial lights as soon as the seeds sprout. Then transplant seedlings, if needed, after they form two sets of true leaves. Just remember seedlings may not look like the original plant. A bit more information: You can also start new roses from cuttings. Take a 6 to 8 inch cutting from a healthy stem. Remove any flowers and buds. Dip in a rooting hormone and plant in a well-drained potting mix. You'll have roots in about 3 weeks. Keep in mind you cannot propagate patented roses. These rights belong to the breeders that introduced the plant. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Fall Webworm
As you drive through your community in late summer or fall you may spot webby nests in the branches of apple, ash, birch, cherry, sycamore, walnut and willow. These are the home of the North American native fall webworm. This pest attacks more than 100 species of deciduous, those that lose their leaves in winter, trees and shrubs. The pest is a green and yellow caterpillar that spins its nest near the ends of the branch. These worm-like insects eat the leaves on the branches near their webby nest. Fortunately this is a cosmetic problem since it occurs late in the season and only a few branches are affected. Keep your plants healthy and they'll be better able to tolerate the feeding. Several natural predators and parasitoids help keep the populations in check. You can knock the nest out of the tree with a stick or a strong blast of water if desired. A bit more information: An organic insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), is effective against young caterpillars. Apply it to the leaves surrounding the webby nest early in the season. As the webworms eat the treated leaves they stop feeding and eventually die. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Dividing Spring and Summer Blooming Perennials
Late summer through early fall is a great time to dig and divide overgrown spring and summer blooming perennials. The soil is warm, air much cooler and the plants will have time to adjust to their new location before winter. Dig and divide plants that have stopped blooming, flopped over, or have a dead center. Use a sharp spade shovel or garden fork to dig up the plant. Cut the clump into 2, 4 or more pieces. Remove the dead center and add it to the compost pile. Some gardeners use two garden forks back to back to pry the clump apart. I prefer a sharp linoleum knife or drywall saw. Though some fleshy rooted plants like daylilies and willow amsonia may require a hatchet or machete. You can replant one piece back in the original location after amending the soil with compost. Use other divisions in other areas or share with friends. A bit more information: The old adage "Divide spring blooming perennials in fall, fall blooming perennials in spring and summer blooming perennials in spring or fall" is a good guideline. But experienced gardeners have all stretched these limits. Sometimes necessity and your schedule determine when you divide perennials. Proper post-transplant care will give your plants the best chance of survival no matter when you divide them. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

National Acorn Squash Day
Bake it, broil it, microwave it or stuff it– acorn squash that is. And if you didn't grow your own, visit the Farmer's Market and buy it. Acorn squash is typically acorn shaped, dark green with longitudinal ridges. They are ripe when the fruit is a solid deep green and the rind is hard. Use a knife or pruners to remove the fruit from the vine. Leave an inch or two of stem attached to the fruit, if possible, for better storage longevity. And be sure to use any blemished or frost damaged fruit as soon as possible. Store this and other winter squash in a cool, preferably 50 to 55 degree, dry location. Place the fruit in a single layer spread out to avoid fruit from touching. The better the air circulation the greater the storage longevity and less likely one rotten squash will affect its neighbors. If space is limited, don't pile more than two high. A bit more information: September 7th is National Acorn Squash Day. This member of the squash family contains vitamins C, B6, A, thiamine and more. You'll get the best nutritional value and flavor by harvesting it at its peak. For more gardening tips, how-to videos, podcasts and more, visit www.melindamyers.com

Why Read This ReportIn Forrester's 79-criteria evaluation of requirements management tools vendors, five standalone requirements management tools and four application life-cycle management (ALM) solutions that include requirements management capabilities went head-to-head. Standalone tools fared better on average, but HP Quality Center ranked alongside IBM's Rational RequisitePro in the Leaders circle, and MKS's application life-cycle management solution joined standalone requirements management tools from Borland Software, Compuware, and Telelogic in the Strong Performers category. However, all three of our Contenders — Microsoft, Rally Software Development, and Serena Software — offer requirements management within a larger ALM solution. The availability of mature requirements management capabilities within larger ALM solutions complicates application development organizations' tool-selection process.

Maybe limestone is what gives it some of the colors.
wow indeed! Is is a moss/ lichen or something in the rocks?
Thanks BK and Sunnybarb.
Looking great, lyndee!
Amazing Lyndee. It's beautiful.
Thanks Chickie and Snooker. It's amazing how this greenery can grow from a solid rock.That would be nice Toto and Warbler.
Your right Toto, I'd be asking alot myself!! Cool lyndee!
That is sure a bright green!
I'd like to go on this hike with a geologist. The poor person would be so peppered with questions, she'd probably not have a chance to look at the scenery.
Wow! It's like jewels!

More than 1,800 Americans were surveyed for the 2012 Chicago Council Survey. The 2012 Chicago Council Survey was made possible by generous support from the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, the Korea Foundation, and the United States-Japan Foundation.
The Chicago Council on Global Affairs, founded in 1922, is a prominent, independent and nonpartisan organization committed to influencing the discourse on global issues through contributions to opinion and policy formation, leadership dialogue, and public learning. The Chicago Council has been conducting nationwide public opinion surveys on American views on foreign policy since 1974. These surveys provide insights into the current and long-term foreign policy attitudes of the American public on a wide range of global topics.
