The Secret and the Legacy3 Reviews
The end of the journey for Johann, the return of a friend, and a truth that was hidden.
As they continued eastwards, Johann told Harry that the Giant had awoken around 2 am "He simply got up and limped away, back towards the mountains. Skreeyah is trailing him, keeping her eyes on its progress."
As they loosened up and got back into the groove of walking, Harry began to ask about some of the spells used by Johann against the Giant. He was especially interested in how Johann had called down the shaft of blinding light.
"The light beam itself wasn't magical, Harry. If it had been, it most likely would have been resisted. No, what I did was to manipulate a small portion of the weather to form a lens from water in the atmosphere, that would bend, or refract, a portion of sunlight. At the same time, that lens focused the light into a beam."
"I don't suppose that..."
"...I could show you how to do it?" Johann chuckled. "Sure, after about three years of advanced study."
Not really expecting any other answer, Harry acknowledged Johann's reply,"Maybe some day I will take you up on that."
Not expecting that answer, Johann proudly replied, "I'd be honored to teach you, Harry!"
Another hour of hiking, and with the barest lightening of the eastern sky above the mountain tops, they reached the base of the mountains. Johann called a stop to Harry. "This is as far as I am to travel with you on this journey, Harry."
Harry was speechless.
Johann goes on to tell him that these mountains give shelter to numerous bands of Mountain Trolls who do not like to be disturbed, as well as groups of Mountain Lions. He also reminded Harry that there was a wounded Giant out there that Johann had a duty to track and follow, to find out where he had come from. There was also the slight possibility that a Death Eater may have sent that Giant out towards Hogwarts, as they had discussed. Harry acknowledged the truth in that, knowing how dangerous that would be, and that Johann took his responsibilities very seriously. Johann then told Harry it was too dangerous for Harry to go on hiking any further.
Harry looked at him quizzically, and before he could state the obvious, was told by Johann that the next part of his trip was by Portkey. Now thoroughly puzzled, Harry watched as Johann removed a medium sized, leather encased, bundle from within his jacket. Another red wax seal is affixed over the clasp of the leather flap. Johann breaks the seal and unrolls the protective leather cover. A disassembled musical woodwind instrument is revealed at last. Constructed of a beautiful, deep reddish brown wood, with gold and platinum metal parts. As Johann assembles it, it reminds Harry of a clarinet, in size, at least. A pair of curious clips is attached along the bottom of the instrument.
"Your wand, please, Harry," asked Johann, holding his hand out.
"Ahh..." Now they made sense to Harry. He handed over his wand and watched as Johann attached the wand, using the clips, to the instrument. The fit was perfect.
Johann moved to an open spot, and facing the mountainside, began to play the instrument.
The crystal clear note that came forth wrenched at Harry's heart. Both Maulg and Kitch reared up silently on their rear legs, towering over Johann and Harry. They lifted their muzzles to the pre-dawn sky and began a mournful descant. Johann began to play a series of notes, which were soon revealed to be a dirge. Harry thought he knew whom it was for.
The song began to wind down. Both of the bears sat down slowly and then lay down on their stomachs. The mountain, the wind and the forest were completely silent for a moment. Then, from the mountainside above, came the reverberating echoes of a very familiar shrill warble. Spiraling downwards in the deep blue dawn sky over their heads, a beautiful, large, red plumed bird descended rapidly.
Heart pounding wildly, eyes already wet with unbelievable joy and suppressed sadness, Harry yelled upwards, "FAWWWKESSSS!"
Johann quickly caught Harry as he began to collapse, tears pouring out of his eyes. All Harry could do as his body became wracked with sobs of grief was to call out to Fawkes, the faithful pet and friend of the man he suddenly missed again, so much. Fawkes landed gently atop Harry's bent knee, calling out softly. Harry gathered himself and reached out to gently stroke the facial and neck feathers of the Phoenix. Harry spoke quietly, telling Fawkes how good it was to see him again. He told him how much he had missed him and how sorry he was for what had happened, almost as if he was confessing a mortal sin. Johann listened, gaining more insight into what had actually happened that day and evening, than from anything else he had seen or been told. He now truly understood the quality of Harry Potter and what his relationship with Albus Dumbledore truly meant to the young man.
Tears now calmed, Harry noticed the large golden coin held in Fawkes' left claw. As he reached out for it, Johann said, "Careful Harry, that is the Portkey!"
Harry pulled back from it. Fawkes released the coin and let it slide down Harry's leg to land in his lap.
"What do I do now, Johann?"
Johann stood and looked up to the stars overhead. He was watching, and waiting for, an alignment in the heavens of two stars that would bracket both Jupiter and Venus. The two bright planets were steadily closing in on their positions.
"There is still a few minutes until the alignment occurs."
Harry looked up, It wasn't hard to spot Jupiter and Venus. "Guess Astronomy class actually paid off," he thought to himself.
"Listen very closely, Harry. You will soon meet "One" that commands, and deserves, your deepest respect. I need to stress this heavily, Harry. You may, or may not, learn more about him; I don't know. That would be up to him and you."
Fawkes reached down from his perch on Harry's knee and took the coin into his mouth. He then took wing, hovering above the two humans. Harry stood up, looking up at Fawkes. Fawkes resettled on Harry's shoulder, still holding the Portkey.
Johann then ran down a quick mental checklist with Harry, making sure he had what he needed, especially his wand.
"Time for quick good-byes, Harry!" Johann reached his arm out.
Harry clasped his forearm as Johann reciprocated. "Thank you so much, Johann. For everything. I've learned so much from you." Harry's eyes held Johann's, showing him the emotions he would not express otherwise.
"You're a fine young man, Harry Potter! It's been my pleasure, I assure you."
"Will I see you again?"
"I expect so; the wedding is coming up soon, I believe, and I have a strong sense that an invitation may already be on its way to me, once Errol finds me."
Harry laughed heartily.
Johann looked up once again. "Be ready Harry. When I say 'now', touch the coin."
They both looked up, seeing the alignment about to occur.
Harry placed his open hand beneath the head of Fawkes, expecting him to drop the Portkey into it at any moment. "Goodbye, Fawkes," he gently whispered.
"Now, Harry!"
Fawkes, instead of dropping the Portkey, lowered his head, until the coin made physical contact with Harry's hand. The Portation charm activated. Harry and Fawkes rose up and spun about, out of the sight of Johann.
High on top of a mountain
When Harry stopped spinning, he and Fawkes were in free fall, above the ground. Expecting another painful meeting with the earth, he was startled when Fawkes deployed his wings and gently set them on the ground.
Harry was now standing on top of a broad mountain peak, encircled by what seemed to be the weather worn stones of some sort of ritualistic circle or ruins. As he stood in the chill of the mountain morning, the early light of dawn on the eastern horizon illuminated the undersides of the clouds, creating the illusion of a Phoenix afire. Harry gazed up as a chill ran down his spine. Fawkes softly cried in his ear. They both continued to watch the eastern sky until the sudden blast of a beam of golden sunshine crept over them, blinding Harry for a brief moment. Raising his arm to protect his eyes, his body turned to the left. It was then that he noticed an old man sitting upon a rock about five yards away, outside the ring of stones.
"It has been a long time since I have had a visitor," said the Old man, in a somewhat crotchety voice.
"Pardon my intrusion, sir. I was brought here by..." Harry suddenly realized he did not know if he was talking to a Wizard or a Muggle.
"By a Portkey, yes, I know. I am not a Muggle, Squire Potter."
"Squire?"Harry didn't know what to make of that. "Forgive me please, sir, for not introducing myself properly. As you seem to know, I am Harry Potter, and this is my friend, Fawkes."
"I am well aware of who your friend is, Squire." At this, Fawkes took flight from Harry's shoulder and flew off to perch upon a large rock, outside of the circle. "Considering it was I who gave him the Portkey to carry to you."
Harry was quite speechless at this point. The elderly man in front of him wore a clean white tabard over a shimmering white robe, which reached to the ground. A simple metal link belt ran around his waist. There was a hint of a necklace under the tabard and metallic rings of all sorts adorned his fingers. His hair was long and snowy white, and though he had no beard from his chin, his mustache and muttonchop sideburns were very long and also white.
"Sit down," he said, pointing to a suitable stone outside of the circle.
Harry did as he was instructed, remembering to say, "Thank you."
"Now, tell Me all about your journey here."
A strong compulsion came across Harry to do so. He began at the beginning, from the lawn outside of Hogwarts up until he had arrived here, wherever "here" was. Harry told all, everything about Johann and his friends, about his dreams and all about the combat with the Giant. As Harry finished, he was told to go ahead and retrieve his water bottle and some food, as it was now close to noon.
Harry ate with gusto, finishing off a bag of trail mix that he and Johann had mixed themselves from items gathered along the trail, along with some granola from Hagrid's cabin.
After lunch, the Old man began to ask pointed questions about several of Harry's exploits during his years at Hogwarts. Harry fond himself recalling details that he had completely forgotten about. Questions were asked of him that no one else had ever asked.
The only time Harry noticed any emotion from the Old man was when he spoke about his meeting with the Horntail Dragon during the Tri-Wizard Tournament.
The questions finally stopped sometime in the mid afternoon.
"Well I must say, Squire Potter, that everything Albus told Me seems to be true," the Old man said. Looking up, gauging the time of day, the Old man apparently came to some inner conclusion. He stood up and walked serenely over to Harry, offering his hand. "My name is Aramys."
Harry shook the offered hand, replying, "It's an honor to meet you, sir."
Aramys released his hand, and sat down again on another stone, much closer to Harry.
"You do not know why you are here, Squire; I know this to be true. In fact, Squire Orbaen did not know either. The only two humans who have known of this place, and its purpose, besides that it is my home, are deceased now." Aramys paused, as a cloud suddenly covered the sun, sending a chill through their bones. He blew some air out of his puckered lips towards the cloud and it moved away, returning the light and warmth of the sun.
Eyes wide in surprise, Harry couldn't believe what he had just seen. "He can move clouds?" He decided it would serve no purpose to bother to ask.
"Ah, wisdom from one your age is rare. You are quite correct, it would serve no purpose, Squire."
This time, Harry could not help but exclaim, "S-sir, you can read my mind?" Sudden, bad thoughts of Snape and Voldemort using Legilimency against him came unbidden to his mind.
A dark frown crossed Aramys' mien, as he said, "Legilimency?Hah!" He started muttering about parlor tricks and human magic.
Then, dark frown gone, Aramys turned towards Harry, reaching up kindly to touch his forehead, tracing his smooth fingertip along the infamous scar. Harry realizes he is unable to move. There is no sense of danger or discomfort, but Harry can feel warmth as Aramys closes his eyes and begins to sift and skim through his memories with incredible ease.
Old memories, fragmented and long forgotten, are repaired and retrieved within Harry's mind. He can see his parents, clearly and in color, and hear them, laughing and talking. Their love for him warms his soul, healing deep wounds.
He could also remember that night, October 31st, when Voldemort came to kill him. He remembered hearing his Dad shouting a warning to his Mother. He heard the Curse of Death from Voldemort. He remembered hearing laughter from outside the room, then the voice, and face, of his mother, as she leaned over the crib, telling Harry that everything would be alright. He could see the door splinter open as Voldemort blasted his way through the charms that had been placed upon Harry's nursery door. He vividly recalled seeing the stuffed animals in his room become animate, throwing spells at Voldemort. They were not enough though. And finally, Harry watched his Mother interpose herself between Voldemort and the crib. Voldemort told her to move aside. She cried out and lunged for his wand. His Curse was aimed to kill Harry, but killed his Mother instead. Voldemort snarled and began to cast again. Green light enveloped Harry's sight. Then he watched as it rebound back to Voldemort, coursing up his wand, then his arm and torso. Harry saw the eyes of his parents' killer go dead.
A voice tells Harry to close his "eyes"; to close himself off to the memories.
Harry tries to do so, and is surprised when he succeeds, allowing the door to that part of his mind to close.
"Good, now open yourself and see the world as I do, Squire."
With no hesitation, Harry looked within and focused on sensing Aramys. What he saw was an image of the Old man, outlined in a massive coronal aura of scintillating color and energy. He could feel as the energy irradiated his own body. Harry felt an urgent need to merge with the energy, and with Aramys. He crossed over, easily, and now stood in front of himself. Through the eyes of Aramys, he could see himself, pulsing with a bright aura, predominantly white and blue in color. He then felt the body he was within begin to step backwards. Suddenly, the body, his body, in front of him, began to shrink, or rather, his point of view was changing, now looking downwards, from a distance that grew. He felt no fear or anxiety, just a feeling of incredulity, and that something very special was moments away.
His point of view began to turn. Harry gazed at the surrounding vista in ultra-clear detail. He watched herds of deer as they ran across hillsides, leagues away. He could see flocks of birds flying, and perched, together, in tall trees. Schools of fish abound in a deep lake down in the shadows of the valley to the east. Harry looked harder, detecting thermal variations in the air flow around the mountain. Turning back to the west, Harry stretched out his perception until the Castle of Hogwarts, glowing in the early evening golden light, came into focus.
"I wish I could share this with you, Ginny!" he thought, forgetting he was within the body of another.
Suddenly, his sight grew dim and he felt himself being thrust back into his own body.
He opened his eyes.
Unprepared for the vision in front of him, Harry would have fainted dead away. Or, at the very least, embarrassed himself. Prepared by what had just happened to him, somehow he neither fainted, nor embarrassed himself. For what was in front of him made perfect sense.
A Great Silver Dragon sat atop the peak, his massive head looking directly at Harry. Brilliant glints of gold and orange, deepening blues and soft violets, reflected off of the silvery scales. Harry could not even begin to guess his size, except to believe that the wing knuckles looked to be thirty feet, or more, off of the ground. Certainly, he was far larger than any Hungarian Horntail.
Harry bowed deeply in front of the Dragon, remembering his experiences with Buckbeak. Aramys then spoke directly in Harry's mind.
"Thank you, Squire. Now it is time for you to learn why you are here!" As Harry watched, Aramys changed back to his human form.
"Follow Me, Squire," he said. He led Harry over to the southern edge of the mountain peak. Harry expected to look down upon either a deep ravine or a sharply sloped mountainside. He was caught off guard as he found himself looking down on a smaller plateau, accessed by a short, gently sloped path. On the plateau, a large, flat, white-granite tombstone, was set securely into ground. Intricate Celtic designs and ancient runes were engraved into the stone. Unsure, and somewhat afraid of what he was going to find, Harry dashed down the slope to the outer, southern edge, of the tombstone. He looked upon it and was stunned by what he read. Not even Fawkes, landing upon his shoulder once again, broke his gaze. For the inscription, elaborately engraved upon the stone, read:
Here lies Alicia Moira Weasley Dumbledore,
Beloved wife and soul mate of
Albus P. W. B. Dumbledore
Taken from our lives
in Childbirth.
May the God of Heaven above
and the Angels of the Four Winds,
forever grant her
Peace and Rest.
Within a smaller box in the center of the stone, the following inscription was found:
Rest in Peace and Love
Harry could only stand and stare, eyes moist, as he slowly read the inscription to himself over and over again. After a few moments, Aramys placed his hand upon Harry's back in a comforting manner.
"Now you know Albus Dumbledore's greatest secret, Squire." Aramys spoke with great reverence. "For a period of little more than one year, he was joyously married to the wonderful Alicia, a woman he was deeply devoted to and completely in love with. Shortly after their quiet wedding, Alicia was pregnant with a child who was destined to be someone very special. Eight months into the pregnancy, however, something went terribly wrong. Both Alicia and the unborn child died."
"In his grief, and for other reasons never fully expressed, Dumbledore erased all evidence of their marriage and of the death of his beloved. Even the Weasley clan seemed to just lose track of Alicia. Arthur Weasley was never told of his Father's Eldest Sister. Even now, there is no Human alive who knew of their relationship. Except you, Squire."
Beginning to feel at peace as his sorrow lifted, Harry turned to Aramys, and with clear conviction, proclaimed that he would never tell another soul. Aramys smiled and pointed down to the base of the tombstone. A glowing outline of a hand appeared amongst the carved glyphs and runes. Harry knew what was expected; he bent down and placed his left hand within the outline and made his magical covenant. Aramys bent down and placed his open hand on Harry's. A flash of magical energy came forth from the stone beneath their hands.
"Fidelius charm?" asked Harry.
"My version of it," replied Aramys, with a sly grin.
They both removed their hands and stood up. On the stone, within the fading glow-line, were two sets of initials, 'H.P.' and 'L.E.', also fading.
"Who was 'L.E.'?"
Aramys lifted his eyebrows and said, "Your Mother, Squire. Lily Evans and you are the only two Secret Keepers of the Tomb of Alicia Dumbledore and Baby H."
Fawkes gently rubbed his head against Harry's cheek and gave a soft warble.
After some time for further inflection, Aramys took Harry away from the plateau and guided him back up to the top of the mountain peak. The temperature was beginning to drop as the sun sank lower in the west.
"Come with Me, Squire. I have something else to show you. Something you will take with you when you leave here."
Harry and Fawkes followed along and politely acknowledged Aramys.
Walking northwards, they came to a flat opening in the rocky ground of the mountaintop. Aramys led the way down a sloping path into a dark space below. As they descended into a large cave-like space, Harry eyes began to adjust, allowing him to make out several shafts of light as the outdoor light broke through small gaps in the rocks overhead in the ceiling and sides.
The three made their way further down the ramp until they reached the floor of the cave. A few torches mounted on the walls showed darker openings into other spaces. Aramys led them towards one of the larger openings. Harry could see a warm glow within the room beyond as they approached.
Inside, a large fireplace was afire giving the stone room a warmth missing from the outer cave. A few iron candelabra were placed along the walls; the mounted candles were lit and helping to illuminate the room further. A large, heavy, wooden table was placed along one wall. Sitting in the middle of it was a very old, metal bound chest. Aramys walked directly to it, turned to Harry and beckoned him over.
Harry moved beside the Great One to see what he had brought out.
"A gift to you from Albus Dumbledore, Squire. Place your right hand on the metal plate there on the left side."
As Harry did so, Aramys placed his left hand on an identical plate on the right side. A loud click was heard as several geared mechanisms came alive within the lid and the lock opened itself.
"This lock has now been attuned to you, Squire. Only you will be able to open it in the future." Aramys opened the chest, fully. The inside of the chest was far larger than suggested by its outer dimensions. Two large, leather bound books were set into each end of the chest. In the middle of an inner compartment, a large, empty brass bowl, with gold and platinum filigree, sat cradled within a padded wooden shelf. Beneath the bowl, set into another padded compartment, were four, squat, crystal decanters, each filled with a clear liquid. Flanking the large bowl were several dozen small glass bottles. Harry gently lifted one. The silvery contents confirmed his suspicion. The bowl was a Pensieve and the glass bottles were a collection of Professor Dumbledore's thoughts and memories. Harry gently reset the glass bottle. With a sense of how important the gift actually was, he turned to Aramys, searching for words to express his feelings.
The Great One patted him on his arm and said, "I understand, Squire." He turned, and with a sweep of his hand over top of the chest, said, "Dumbledore left these specifically for you within the last three months. All of this is Albus Dumbledore's legacy to you."
Harry stood church mouse quiet as he contemplated this gift. Finally, he was able to overcome his awestruck silence.
"This is unbelievable, sir. Never could I imagine being given a gift of this magnitude."
"Well, Squire, along with this gift comes a great responsibility."
"Of course, sir. I mean, to have access to..."
"Please let Me finish, Squire!"
Harry stopped, looking very contrite.
"Now, as I was about to say, there is a geas that I am placing upon you to do something special for Albus Dumbledore. It is my wish, that you, Squire Potter, write his official biography."
"Yes, I know about you and Voldemort. That situation will resolve itself soon enough. When it does, if you are able, you will return to Me one final time, and we shall have a long talk."
Harry's mind was aswirl with thoughts and questions about what Aramys was implying and saying. He acknowledged Aramys' last statement.
"I have one last thing for you. This is a gift not given by any Dragon in a hundred years and never by Me. Now, hold out your right hand."
Harry held it out, palm up. Aramys reached out and took hold of it. Aramys then extended a finger on his other hand. Harry watched as a long silver talon extended from the tip. Aramys then drew a line across Harry's palm, which immediately darkened with fresh blood.
"Take out your wand and place it across that line, quickly."
Harry did so, watching silently.
Aramys then held up his palm and cut a similar line across it. Dark green blood began to seep from the line. As he did this, he said, "I know you have lost the blood protection afforded to you by your mother." Aramys placed his hand over Harry's, grasping it with the wand situated in between.
Harry could feel a hot flash course through his body, followed by a soothing coolness. He watched as Aramys took his wand by the handle and slowly twisted it and pulled it from between their grasp. Green dragon blood and red human blood coated the shaft and tip, mingling together, until the wood absorbed the wetness. When he finished and the wand looked dry, Aramys broke his grasp upon Harry's hand. Neither palm showed a trace of the cut or of any blood. But Harry knew something had changed within him.
Aramys smiled and said simply, "Voldemort has a nasty surprise coming the next time he tries to 'touch' you, Squire."
"What about my wand, Aramys?"
The Great One smiled and said, "You will have to discover that for yourself. One thing I will tell you is that, as Squire Orbaen has taught you, there are many types of Magic in the world; the Magic of Dragons, especially the Great Dragons, is the rarest, and greatest, of all the known forms of Magic."
Aramis closed up the box, which locked itself automatically. He gestured to Harry to try and open it. Harry placed his hand upon the right side plate and the box opened immediately. Harry smiled and closed it again. Aramys waved at the box and it began to shrink to a smaller size.
"Go ahead and stow that in your satchel-thing."
Harry smiled and placed it gingerly inside his backpack.
Aramys waited for Harry to square away his gear, then told him to follow. Harry sensed his visit was coming to an end. He followed quietly, keeping a respectful distance behind Aramys. Fawkes took wing from Harry's shoulder and flew up to the ceiling and out of the cave.
Several minutes later, they both reached the top of the ramp, once again on top of the mountain. The air was now quite chilly. Harry zipped his jacket up and pulled the cover over the back of his neck and head. Fawkes once again found a perch on his shoulder and allowed Harry to briefly stroke his face and neck.
"It would appear you have found a new friend, Squire."
"No sir, just an old one!" he replied with a warm smile upon his face.
Aramys smiled in return. He then took Harry's hands in his, and said,"Listen closely, Squire. You are about to Apparate to your bedroom in Privet Drive."
Harry opened his mouth like a trout, then shut it and continued to listen.
"Stay there! For just twenty-four hours, no less, stay there. Do not tell anyone you are there. Do not come out for meals. You should have enough sustenance in your pack to last you for that amount of time. If you need to use the garderobe, well, use it 'quietly'."
Harry understood and smiled.
"After that twenty-four hour time period, come out and say goodbye to your Aunt and simply Apparate to the Burrow. Do you understand?"
"I'm not of age yet, Aramys."
"Do not worry about the Ministry detecting you as you Apparate. One of the side effects of your modified wand is that all of your Apparations will be undetectable and silent from now on. Just be careful not to land yourself in the middle of a gathering of Wizards or Witches."
"Regarding your desire to visit Godric Hollow; I feel it would be better for you to wait until you have mastered the use of the Pensieve and memories. You will know why I say this once you have had the chance to review those memories."
"Finally, I feel you should reconsider and return to Hogwarts for your final year. Specialize in the classes you are interested in, ignore the rest."
Harry hadn't thought about any of this for several... days. "I can't believe all that has happened these past few days." "I will certainly think about your recommendations, Aramys, thank you."
"Goodbye, Squire. Take care of yourself and your friends. You have learned valuable lessons on this trip, I think. Do not dismiss them!" His warmth and sincerity were obvious to Harry.
"Before I go, one question, please, Aramys."
"Why do you call me "Squire"?"
"Ah, that is a habit I picked up back in the 10th century." With that admission, Aramys closed his eyes, and Harry and Fawkes were gone.
4 Privet Drive, evening
Harry stood at the door inside his bedroom at 4 Privet Drive. He looked at the clock on the wall. His backpack was once again squared away, the sleeping bag secured to the bottom of the frame. He had spent the last twenty-four hours catching up on his sleep, which was surprisingly dream-less, reading the leather bound books in the chest, and going quietly through all of his belongings, making sure he left nothing behind that was 'his'. Of course, most of his belongings were at the Burrow. Then, he spotted the golden coin that had been the old Portkey, sitting atop the dresser where he had placed it after cleaning out his pockets. He picked it up and looked at it closely for the first time. The face on one side looked to be roman, as did the small figure on the back. The lettering he didn't understand at all. Maybe Hermione would enjoy trying to decipher it. He placed it back in his pants pocket.
Five minutes to go. He sat down on the edge of the bed, wanting time to go faster. Staring at himself in the mirror, he thought back upon everything that had happened to him this past week. The painful memories of the death of Professor Dumbledore and the ensuing funeral; his choices regarding his relationship with Ginny. Experiencing the adventure of the journey with Johann and his friends, Maulg, Kitch and Skreeyah, the Giant attack, the return of Fawkes (Harry looked to where he was perched, and smiled), discovering the tomb, and then, finally, discovering the hidden Legacy of Dumbledore in a secret compartment in the base of the tombstone. Harry closed his eyes, knowing that, without a doubt, his life would never be a quiet one.
The clock ticked loudly, bringing Harry out of his daze. Fawkes flew down from atop the wardrobe and landed on his shoulder. Harry stood up carefully so as not to tip over and opened his room door. With slow, deliberate steps, he made his way downstairs. Already, he knew the Dursleys had heard something, as the house suddenly became quiet. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, he headed for the kitchen. He stopped for a moment in front of the cupboard under the stairs. He felt nothing, surprisingly. He then walked forwards, pushing open the door.
Inside, the three Dursleys sat huddled around the kitchen table, mouth's open, and eyes wide. Harry let the door close behind him, careful not to hurt Fawkes, and stared at the three people who had made his life miserable.
"Goodbye." With that simple announcement, he grasped his wand, and thought of the Burrow.
The Burrow
Molly was quietly sitting at the kitchen table going over a list of preparations for the Wedding. She gazed upwards at the family clock with a slight scowl on her face. She had taken to checking the clock more frequently since the return of Voldemort, and with the kids being out of school, scattered all over.
She noted that Arthur still hadn't left work, though he had promised to be home early this evening. Ron was away at the Granger's until the following day. Bill and Fleur were home, ...somewhere..., she didn't really want to know. At least they weren't at "Mortal Peril" at the moment, she thought to herself. Fred and George were at their own place, where Charlie was also rooming until after the wedding. Finally, Ginny was up in her room, hopefully cleaning it as she had been asked. Percy was... "No, I will not do this to myself again!" She sniffled briefly, blotting her eyes with a tissue from her pocket.
She stood up and walked over to the oven, carefully opening the door by hand, to check on the cake she was baking. Suddenly, from behind her, a loud series of chimes, heard only seven times before in the Burrow, and not for more than fifteen years, began going off.
"Oh, by Merlin's beard!" she cried out. "They CANNOT be doing what I think they are doing!" Molly stomped to the foot of the stairs and looking upwards, gathered a deep breath and yelled, "BILL!FLEUR! Get down here RIGHT now!"
From behind the big sofa around the corner in the living room, Bill's head poked up, rubbing the sand of sleep from his eyes. "Mum? What are you yelling for?"
Molly, surprised by the appearance of her oldest son in the living room, was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Where is Fleur?", she asked contritely.
"She's upstairs with Ginny, working on their gowns."
Both Fleur and Ginny came racing downstairs, afraid something bad was happening.
"Molly?" began Fleur in her accented English, "iz 'zere zomething amiss?"
"Mum, are you okay?" asked Ginny from railing half-way down the steps.
Molly was at a complete loss."The clock!" She moved over to the front of the clock. Anew hand, unlabelled, was now inside it, behind the glass, indicating 'In Transit'.
"The new hand gong went off... It hasn't done that since Ginny was conceived!"
"And you thought Fleur and I were...," started Bill. "Mum! Come on, now! Really!"
Molly's face was very red now with embarrassment, as was Ginny's, who was struggling to hold back a good laugh. Bill and Fleur were looking only somewhat embarrassed.
"What's the name on the hand, Mum?" asked Ginny.
Molly turned back to the clockface to recheck it. Slowly, a name began to appear. It took painful moments to completely form itself.
"Harry?" Molly could not believe it.
And then, right smack in the middle of the kitchen, as the hand moved to "Home", he was there.
"Harry? Harry!", and then, "FAWKES? Oh my, it is you! Oh Harry!" Molly, eyes already growing moist, threw her arms around the startled boy, who had just popped into her kitchen. Fawkes simply jumped from Harry's shoulder to the top of his pack.
Harry hugged her back, a big, joyous, smile upon his face.
"HARRY?" Ginny called out from the stairs as she came racing down them, two at a time. Reaching the bottom, she ran into his crowded arms. "Oh Harry, it is you."
Fawkes warbled joyfully, spreading his wings wide. Bill joined Fleur at the bottom landing of the stairs, both of them smiling, arms around each other.
Harry wrapped his right arm around Ginny, holding her head tucked in the crook of his neck and shoulder. He turned, and with the scent of her sweet smelling hair filling his senses, kissed the side of her head, telling her, "I'm back, Ginn', I'm home!"

You Are What You Eat0 Reviews
Sometimes when you spend so much time with someone, you start to look alike. Sasuke Uchiha and Sai were no exception.
Naruto recalled the utter shock that he felt when he first found out about this…this thing, the two stoic males had. His shock eventually subsided and he learned to accept their relationship, though the two males continuously denied it. Besides the other members of Team Seven and Tenten, no one in Konoha knew of this…'relationship'. Were they dating? Not at all. Outside of the bedroom, they didn't even talk to each other. Friends with benefits? No. They weren't friends. Fuck buddies? Nah, it was more than that.
Sakura remembers the fateful day she discovered their…um, situation. Like Naruto, she was surprised. She was sure that the boys hated each other. After the small pang of hurt she felt—she had feelings for both the boys at some point, and she sometimes wondered what made them attracted to each other instead of her—she too accepted it as it was. Sometimes she, along with Naruto and Kakashi, would have discussions about the two boys as they watched them argue during training sessions. They analyzed and analyzed, but still couldn't figure out what this relationship was.
Tenten, being the observer that she was, noticed it even more quickly than Naruto and Sakura had. She couldn't say that she was friends with either of the boys, but like Team Seven, Team Gai often went to Ichiraku to hang out. Maybe it was the fourth or fifth time seeing team Seven that she noticed it. They weren't even sitting together; in fact, they both sat on either side of Sakura. Still, Tenten couldn't help but shoot glances at them every few seconds. Tenten, Neji, and the boys didn't speak much whenever they went to Ichiraku. Most of the conversations were between Naruto, Sakura, and Lee. After a while of the trio's babbling, Tenten straightforwardly announced the resemblance between the two stolid males.
Sai had remembered all too well the first time he had ever felt the emotion known as 'shock'. He had read about it in his books, and he could never entirely grasp the concept of it. But, on that faithful day at Ichiraku with team Gai, Sai finally understood the full meaning of bewilderment. His lips had parted into an 'o' shape and his eyes widened slightly, but he returned to his normally blank expression seconds later. He didn't know how to respond to the strange proclamation from the bun-haired girl, so he let someone else take care of it. When said person did, though, he immediately regretted not opening his mouth.
Sasuke didn't realize the mistake had made until the statement was already floating in the air. This was before Naruto and Sakura had known about them, and he knew that his two teammates were too stupid to figure it out based upon his statement. Lee was too, but this information was barely reassuring. Tenten and Neji were smart though, even smarter than him—not that he'd ever admit that. Tenten's observational skills were the reason he had made the statement in the first place, and the matching smug expression that she and the Hyuuga both wore was a signal to him that her observational skills had just figured out the secret that he so carefully buried. He wished that he could reverse time to back when he was still a criminal, that we he could kill Konoha's weapons mistress without being reprimanded. She deserved to die, anyway. Maybe that smug expression would be wiped off her face as he dug his sandal into her face.
It was a wonderful day in Neji's life, seeing as he only lived for three things. One was to become the head of the Hyuuga clan after his uncle. Two, was to protect Tenten with his life. And three, the most important of all, was to humiliate the last Uchiha at every chance he could get. He would be sure to hug Tenten and thank her for this beautiful day sometime in the future. That small proclamation that she had made really turned his average day into an extraordinary one. "Oi, Sasuke-san, Sai-san. You guys really look alike!" It didn't seem like that big of a deal, what Tenten had said. None of them thought of it that way, not until Sasuke opened his mouth and doomed himself forever.
"Haven't you ever heard the saying that when you spend too much time with someone, you start to look alike?"
Naruto smirked at the onyx-haired former ROOT member as his mind brought him back to the present. He had knocked on the door of the Uchiha household expecting Sasuke, but wasn't surprised to see Sai, with a tired expression on his face. The boy who was standing in front of him only wore a black shirt that was obviously too large for him and boxers. He flashed a false grin at his two teammates as he led them inside. Naruto, who was becoming more observant since he hung out with Tenten a lot more lately, took note of the hand Sai held on his lower back and the slight limp in his step.
Sakura bit her lip and cursed herself for the inappropriate thoughts that filled her head. When she first discovered this thing, she didn't know who she hated more. Sai, who stole her first love away from her, or Sasuke, who stole away her more current love. She cursed them both to hell because she knew that she hated neither. They completed each other, in some strange way. She noticed the difference in smiles between the ones Sai normally gave and the ones that he directed towards Sasuke. She noticed how the glares Sasuke shot at Sai were often less disturbing then the ones he shot at everyone else, and how the threats he directed at Sai held less venom than his usual 'I'll-kill-everyone-you-love's. Sakura noticed these little things, and wondered how long it would take for the two boys to notice them as well.
Tenten spent a good amount of time around Team Seven, and she could read them all so easily. Sasuke was usually mean to everyone, except for her and Sai. She didn't understand his kindness towards her, and others might have mistaken it for hidden feelings. Of course she knew, the only hidden feelings Sasuke had were the ones of pleasure when Sai moaned his name at night. Some people might have found it strange that Tenten knew such personal information about the Uchiha, but just as he had said, when you spend too much time with someone, you start to look alike. In her case, it was that you started to think alike. Tenten had her own form of the Byakugan, and she could easily read someone's emotions just by looking into their eyes and studying their body movements. Tenten observed how the Uchiha relaxed ever so slightly when Sai was around, and she didn't ignore the glances he shot at Sasuke every once in a while.
Sai didn't display emotions often, but when he was feeling them he sure as hell knew when to hide them. He knew that someone was reading him like a book. It was Naruto's best friend of the week…that bun-haired, weapon throwing tomboy. Goddamn her. He could barely understand his feelings, and it made him angry that someone else was able to. What did she know? She just played little training dummy for her stupid boyfriend, that white-eyed girly man. Of course, Sai couldn't be so hostile towards the girl. She wasn't to blame for his feelings. It was that damned Uchiha. It was his fault. At first, everything was fine. He'd go to Sasuke's house, Sasuke would stick it to him, and he'd leave right after—limping himself back to his humble abode. But soon, it became more frequent. It started to be an every night occurrence. Then, he began to spend the night at the Uchiha's home. He would usually be gone before Sasuke could even think about the previous night. But now, he would wake up in Sasuke's arms. If he even dared try to leave, the Uchiha would just cling to him possessively. Sai couldn't recall when he had become an item, because he wasn't aware that a person could belong to someone. The last straw was when the Uchiha had whispered that disgusting m-word into his ear.
Sasuke hated Sai. He didn't like him. He thought he was disgusting. He wanted to kill him. He despised him. He dreamt of him being killed. He hated him. Or, at least, that's what he repeated to himself every morning and night as he wrapped his arms around the slightly smaller boy's waist and pulled him instinctively close. Sasuke didn't know when he had become so needy, it was disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting. He was starting to become like that blonde that used to be obsessed with him…what was her name? Ino. That's right. The way she clung to her girlfriend—that Hyuuga girl, was quite similar to the way he often clung to his boyfriend. Wait, what? His boyfriend? No, that's NOT what Sai was to him. No, no. FUCK no. He thought nothing of the boy. He was nothing more than a meaningless fuck, that's all, right? Yes, that was all. That bun-haired girl didn't know what she was talking about. She didn't know anything of his feelings. Sasuke had no feelings for the slightly older, slightly more innocent boy. That's idiotic. Sasuke didn't have feelings for anyone. He was only in it for the sex. Wasn't that what everyone said? Well, he was being honest. He didn't feel anything for Sai. The only thing he felt was confusion, when he had whispered that simple word into the ROOT member's ear. The only thing he felt was uncomfortable, when the pale boy slipped his hand into the Uchiha's. He didn't mean it, no no. Of course not. He lied. He wasn't being possessive and he certainly hadn't said it. No, not at all. He couldn't even bring his mouth to formulate that sinister word….the m-word…

Sup, Douchebag.
I am writing this in the tire tracks
that lead off the highway on the road home from school-
40 miles in a 65.
my dad thinks we're gay now because we like to run and eat pizza together.
I don't think he understands that eating pizza is code for talking to cute girls
who look like they'll have good taste in music,
and I don't really care that he doesn't like it,
but the way he told me I was too attached to you
It was like he thought love was a hate crime.
Andy do you think we know really where we go when we die?
I always wondered if there was a track there, some kind of eternal oval where
you just run 400 repeats at 65 seconds a lap, the 4:20 mile
until time decides to give up
She told me to leave tonight, Andy.
I don't think she meant her room.
68 in a 65
Remember how I could always eat more pizza than you?
Like it was a good thing that I was living a B-Rated romantic comedy
Nicholas Sparks rip-off week to week as though the tears of girls
were some kind of drug and me the worst kid of addict
Andy pizza gets old
And all the girls the last year weren't worth it
you see "all that pizza" is just an example of what happens when we take it too far
when you really lose control
and start burning everything around you just to keep yourself alive
Remember when we ran through light-houses named after rock songs
and sang about cloud formations as though we knew exactly where heaven was
and it was home in our beds?
I'm going home tonight
but I can't tell if that means
the tear-stains on my blanket
the stainless steel knife in my parents knife-drawer
or the concrete barrier 4 miles away
79 in a 65
Andy where are you
the lines in the road are like cones and I'm an inline skater
on 4-wheel drive let's see how fast I can weave
before we spin out
92 in a 65
Numbers don't matter she told me
after I found out there'd been at least two others
this week
Like she thought love was a hate crime and she was just jay-walking
Andy the lines are too blurred to steer straight
I need you to smack me in the face and
tell me to stop being a sissy
but Andy it's so convenient to
just punch the pedal
let's go for a long run when you get back from colorado
I can't see the road anymore
the tears are blurring too much
why did I wear these stupid fake glasses
she told me to stop being dramatic
as my head hit the floor
and the shaking began again
Andy you're the reason I've been waking up the last week
Andy make it stop
Maybe they're right maybe love is a hate crime
there's a song playing on the radio
it goes
I'm going straight now
the barrier is right in front of me and the freeway is empty
I wonder if that's what it feels like
make it stop
(via westernwon-deactivated20131209)
Can someone please tell me what this is??

|Greenhouse Gases From Small-Scale Combustion Devices in Developing Countries: Phase IIA, Household Stoves in India (EPA/600/R-00/052) June 2000
This report presents a database containing a systematic set of measurements of the carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, total nonmethane organic carbon, nitrous oxide, sulfur oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and trisodium phosphate emissions from the most common combustion devices in the developing world: household stoves.
Using 8 biomass fuels, kerosene, liquid petroleum gas (LPG), and biogas, a number of different stoves were examined for a total of 28 fuel/stove combinations. Because fuel and stove parameters were monitored as well, the database also allows examination of the trade-offs among emissions per unit fuel mass, fuel energy, delivered energy, and construction of complete carbon balances.
Confirming the preliminary results of a pilot study conducted in Manila, the database shows that burning solid biomass fuels typically results in substantial products of incomplete combustion (PICs). In addition, biomass stoves usually have substantially lower thermal efficiencies than those using liquid or gaseous fuel. As a result, the emissions of carbon dioxide and PICs per unit of delivered energy are considerably greater in the biomass stoves.
In general, the ranking follows what has been called the "energy ladder" from lower- to higher-quality fuels, i.e., emissions decrease and efficiencies increase in the following order: dung-crop residues, wood, kerosene, and gas. There are variations, however, depending on specific stove designs.

Finally the video stream of Steve Jobs iPhone 4 & iOS 4 keynote at the WWDC 2010 is online now. So tune in to watch his performance.
Again, it's keynote time: The sold out Worldwide Developer Conference 2010 – WWDC10 – is about to begin. At 10:00 PST Steve Jobs will be on stage. Developers, fans and all others who are interested in Apple's business development will be hypnotized of Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Millions of people are sitting at their computers, iPhones, iPads or other mobile devices and want to know instantly what Steve is presenting today.
It's really fascinating how Steve plays with the masses … so it does not surprise too much, that the big German news magazine Spiegel Online refers to the event as an "Californian worship". That's not how I would describe it … but it shows how hard it is to understand and describe that keynote phenomenon. Just thnik about the "viewing rates" or reach of a presentation of Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo (Nokia CEO), Jim Balsillie (Research In Motion co CEO) or even Eric Schmidt (Google CEO).
What will present us today … nobody really knows. But there is a lot of rumor out there: The iPhone HD or 4G? A sneak preview of the next Mac OS X version? New Mac hardware? … the first photos from the Moscone West Center suggest that it's all about apps … maybe a Mac AppStore
Some weeks ago, a developer wrote a provocative email to Steve, whether he will counter Apples competitors like Google/Android. Steve's short reply was "You won't be disappointed!".
So the expectations are high … and for all of us, who are not able to attend the Steve Jobs show at the Moscone West Center in San Francisco live: Here are some of the most important live coverage blogs for the WWDC keynote 2010:
As soon as the video of the keynote is available as a Quicktime stream … you'll get an update
Yesterday, Steve Jobs presented the next iPhone OS generation to the developer community as well as to the interested public. Now, iPhone developers have access to experiment with iPhone OS 4 SDK and can optimize their apps for the new operating system. This summer, Apple will roll out the new OS to iPhone- and iPod-touch-users. This fall iPhone OS 4 will also be available for the iPad.
It's quite obvious, why Apple is revealing the next version of their mobile OS now: The app developers need to implement the new features – like multitasking – to their apps … only if they do so, the iPhone OS 4 will be a success. But, calm down, Steve Ballmer: It will be a success
This is a quick overview over the 7 tentpole features, Steve Jobs and Scott Forstall (Senior Vice President iPhone Software) presented at the event (Quicktime-Video-on-Demand of the event):
Again, Apple achieved to integrate a bundle of innovations into the next iPhone generation … very good news for the growing number of iPhone-developers. Other players in the mobile industry, like Google's AdMob, have to expect heavy seas ahead. This leads me to one of these wonderful Bob Dylan songs: "The times they are a changing …"
Happy Valentine's day 2010!
Last year, 30 German iPhone developers joint their forces and reduced their app prices to the max to make you smile on Valentine's day … this year everything is bigger: Now more than 80 apps are reduced to the max to please our customers.
CompareMe shopping utility is also available for $0.99. So check out AppsForSale.de maybeyou'll find a real bargain. Only on 14.02.2010!
I had a lot of trouble with some rubygem warnings after upgrading to Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 3.0 on Mac OS x Snow Leopard. They always occurred when I started the server within the project with the command
rails server
At first, when running on bundler 0.9.3, I had two types of errors. The first NoMethodError populated the terminal with hundreds lines of code, like …
WARNING: # NoMethodError: undefined method ` ' for nil:NilClass # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- ... WARNING: Invalid .gemspec format in \ '.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.1-p378/specifications/spec.gemspec'
The bundler-team around Carlhuda fixed that issue within bundler 0.9.4. So that problem will not occur any more.
The other problem was quite persistent. When starting the server via
rails server
or doing a test via
within the rails-3-project resulted in a bunch of warnings:

Jeremy Kemper from the Rails core team pointed out that this is not a Rails problem, but a RubyGems issue. Ruby 1.9 ships with an outdated RubyGems … like 1.9.1p378 ships with RubyGems 1.3.1. I did update RubyGems to Version 1.3.5 by
sudo gem update --system
but this resulted in some duplicated rubygem files, which cause the error.
So how can the problem be solved? Deleting and reinstalling Ruby 1.9.1 does not have any effect … but the solution is quite simple:
1. Be sure that you do NOT install RubyGems 1.3.5 separately after the installation of Ruby 1.9.1 – this would result in a double installation. So have that in mind when following the excellent instructions to installing Ruby, RubyGems, and Rails on Snow Leopard of Dan Benjamin.
2. If you already installed Ruby 1.9.1, updated to RubyGems 1.3.5 and bundler 0.9.4 and also installed Rails 3.0, the only thing you have to do is:
sudo gem uninstall rubygems-update
That's it. No errors any more!
1. You may start with Dan Benjamin's recipe and modify it so you download, make and install the ruby-1.9.1-p378.tar.gz but NOT the rubygems-1.3.5.tgz.
2. Then update RubyGems with the command
sudo gem update --system
3. Ensure that the rake and the sqlite3-ruby gems are installed, too.
4. Now install the needed gems and rails –pre as described in the Rails 3.0 beta release notes
5. After the successful installation of Rails 3.0 beta, you now have to do the vitally important step:
sudo gem uninstall rubygems-update
6. Finally check, if any gem needs an update before diving into Rails 3.0 by
sudo gem update
Hope this helps … and saves some time. Thx Andy for the hint

What's A PowerParasol®? And what can it do for you?
Innovative Solar Shade Structure Generates Revenue And Energy
Parking Lot Solutions
Parking lots are an integral part of many businesses, commercial developments and public amenities. A PowerParasol helps transform this important temporary automobile storage space into something more by creating shade, energy and premium parking revenue opportunities. Much more than ordinary covered parking, a PowerParasol project has height, lighting and creates a shade canopy over the entire lot, not just parking spaces.
Retail Establishments
The retail shopping marketplace is a very competitive environment – to say the least. In order to succeed, retailers are constantly looking for better ways to attract and retain customers and to lower operational costs. A PowerParasol gives them both – a better shopping experience, night or day, for their customers, plus a savings on their electricity bills because it generates renewable energy. One more important point: a PowerParasol can be installed with minimal disruption to existing operations. Every PowerParasol we have installed has been on a site that is already in use. Our experienced team of installation professionals knows how maneuver in busy spaces without negatively impacting access and traffic flow.
Public Spaces
A PowerParasol installation transforms the space beneath it, creating shade and defining an area. Its broad columns allow for signs, security cameras, and creative LED lighting applications. Common area that is intended for public gatherings is enriched and activated with a PowerParasol, enhancing the land or converting it from an area exposed to the harsh elements to a more inviting and controlled environment. And with electricity being generated, it introduces new energized outdoor opportunities and becomes a magnet for attracting public gatherings, both organized and spontaneous.
Out of the Desert. Off the Rooftops. Into the Community.TM
PowerParasol® is a transformative tool that produces immediate results for customers who make the investment in changing their environment.
Used to cover parks, pedestrian malls, parking lots, playgrounds community open space, or business and storage areas, the patent pending Power Parasol provides shade, security, lighting, and solar energy. All of this, while creating an environment of dappled light that allows grass, flowers, bushes and trees to flourish underneath the structure resulting in comfortable, inviting outdoor areas.

Health Tip: Coping With Nasal Congestion
What adults can do
(HealthDay News) -- Nasal congestion, commonly called a stuffy nose, can affect breathing, hearing and sleep.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine suggests ways to ease nasal congestion in adults:
- Take a decongestant or antihistamine to help alleviate stuffiness.
- Run a humidifier or vaporizer to make the air more humid.
- Use a saline nasal spray.
- Drink more fluids, such as chicken soup, broth or hot tea.
- Keep your head elevated when you sleep.
- Use a nasal strip that helps ease breathing by opening the nostrils.

Over the last week, the influx of people has become a very endearing tribe of people to me. I will miss my morning routine of unzipping the sleeping bag and tent.

It might seem like the same old story — another legislative session, another school property tax elimination bill that goes nowhere, but a bipartisan Senate coalition believes this year is different.
So far, annual companion bills in the state House and Senate have never gotten out of committee for up-or-down votes in the respective chambers.
Yet recent events have created "new momentum" for replacing the school property tax with a combination of higher income taxes and a higher and broader state sales tax, say two co-sponsors whose districts include parts of Monroe County.
"My goal is to get the bill to (the state House) this fall," said Sen. David Argall, R-29. "We're certainly within striking distance."
Added Sen. John Yudichak, D-14: "We're building up momentum."
They point to these developments:
The state income tax would go up to 4.34 percent under the revised bill, compared to 4.01 percent under the old bill. The additional revenue from any income tax hike would go into a fund for school districts.
The increase in the sales tax — from 6 percent to 7 percent in most parts of the state — would be supplemented by adding items to be taxed for the first time.
Food and clothing, currently exempt from the sales tax, would be taxed. Candy and gum would be taxed.
"We know we have to raise revenue," Yudichak said. "What's the best way? What's the fair way? It's certainly worth the fight if we can keep people in their homes."
If the General Assembly continues to do nothing about the school property tax burden, Argall believes someday the courts will declare the tax inequitable and hence, unconstitutional.
"It is the greater of two evils," Argall said of property taxes. "It's such an unfair tax, and I think school districts understand that."
Argall and Yudichak said they secured more Senate co-sponsors for the bill by personally approaching all 50 members. Argall spoke to fellow Republicans and Yudichak spoke to Democratic senators.
"They're not just hearing it from me," Argall said. "They're not just hearing it from John Yudichak. They're hearing it from their own constituents."
Even senators from Philadelphia — where the property tax burden hasn't historically been a big issue — are starting to hear more complaints from constituents about the tax, Yudichak said.
Yudichak points to the Homestead Rebate — signed into law during Gov. Ed Rendell's administration, using gambling proceeds — as another factor building momentum for eliminating property taxes. He expects general tax reform to be an issue in next year's gubernatorial campaign.
In the state House, Rep. Mario Scavello, R-176, said he is "pretty hopeful" that a similar school property tax elimination bill will win support there this fall. He said backing by groups like the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors is paying off.
Increased Senate momentum can only help prospects in the House, Scavello said.
"It might actually make it easier if the Senate is that serious about it," Scavello said. "I'll do anything and everything to try to move that bill. The problem is it is not a statewide problem."

Every two years at the CSAC Annual Meeting, we conduct a workshop that provides county officials with an opportunity to satisfy their state law (AB 1234) ethics training requirements. At our upcoming Annual Meeting in Riverside County, this workshop will be held on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 16.
Last week, Stateline.org ran a series of stories examining the impacts of state cash shortfalls in California, Illinois, and New York.
A major goal of the CSAC Annual Meeting each year is to provide county officials with the latest information that they just won't find anywhere else. While we expect this to happen at all our workshops, one in particular this year will provide news that is hot off the press. On Wednesday morning of the [...]
Among the topics we will be covering at our upcoming Annual Meeting, set for Nov. 16-19 in Riverside County, is one that all counties must face in the near future: redistricting.
As most know, chances of losing state funding for the Williamson Act subventions for a second straight year was high. While the approach specified in SB 863 may not be perfect it will provide some counties with the incentive to stay in the program.

- Outsourcing isn't a miracle fix – it still requires time and effort to manage your employees;
- The interview process is the most important part of outsourcing. Take the time to ask awkward questions and make sure that the person you're hiring is right for the job;
- If they sound too cheap, they probably are. There are exceptions to this (I currently work with someone who's immensely cheap and very, very good at what she does);
- Following on from the above, don't expect to get someone massively creative for next to no outlay. I've always found that design resource is the area that you're most likely to need to spend extra money on;
- Technical resources are easy to come by but it's tricky to find someone reliable with attention to detail. Start with a smaller project and work your way up (our long-term developers took on a $500 project to start with and since then we've worked on projects up to $100k in size);
- Finally, be patient (both with yourself and your new employee). It takes time to find the best way of working when you've outsourced tasks but once you have a process things are very straightforward.

More Pics of New Stuff, New Push UR Limits Coming and New Shirt - Run: Sunblocker Long Sleeve
I'm feeling too lazy to blur out faces and these ladies do a nice job of modeling the new clothes so I am leaving their pics as is. I think I am going to have to try on the Angel Blue Sun Salutation tank.
The Pearl District store in Portland has posted they have new Push UR limits. I don't have photos or color information but I will post as soon as I do. I know a Carlsbad educator told me they are expecting them in blue so I am very excited. Pearl District also posted they have a new running shirt called the Run: Sunblocker Long Sleeve. As soon as I have pics and information I will post.

A few years ago it looked like Amanda Cleveland would never play basketball again. Just going for a walk was out of the question. She was one of the top basketball players in the country when she enrolled at Nebraska. Then she got sick, with a disease that threatened her life. Amanda switched her focus from basketball to survival. Gradually she got better, and eventually basketball came back into the picture. "Statewide's" Perry Stoner brings us Amanda's story, the tale of a Husker on the rebound.
