Maybe the best of the lot so far. The final couple of chapters had some of the best things she's written. Maybe it is just because I didn't really care for book five, but I am looking forward to the final book very much.
I listened to this book. I have read the series but I am liking listening to the series as read by Jim Dale. I heard some details that I had forgotten or missed when I read the book. I thought it was good. Harry finds a potions book with notes in it that helps Harry excel at potions even more than his friend Hermoine. The former teacher of potions, Severus Snape, has finally gotten the position he wanted Defense Against the Dark Arts so he doesn't know Harry has the potions book. Harry helps Dumbledore track down some horcruxes. Good book.
What a shocker of an ending. And I think the mellower tone of this volume compared to the others made its impact that much greater. There was the humor Rowling does so well earlier in the book ("No, I was merely reading the Muggle magazines," said Dumbledore. "I do love knitting patterns.", Professor Trelawney "... set off again, leaving nothing but a whiff of cooking sherry behind her."), some way-back backstory about Tom Riddle (aka HWMNBN), and then the bomb dropped. Still hard to take even though this was my second reading.
Yup, still makes me cry.
Just wanted to check.

Con dieciséis años cumplidos, Harry inicia el sexto curso en Hogwarts en medio de terribles acontecimientos que asolan Inglaterra. Elegido capitán del equipo de Quidditch, los entrenamientos, los exámenes y las chicas ocupan todo su tiempo, pero la tranquilidad dura poco. A pesar de los férreos controles de seguridad que protegen la escuela, dos alumnos son brutalmente atacados. Dumbledore sabe que se acerca el momento, anunciado por la Profecía, en que Harry y Voldemort se enfrentarán a muerte: «El único con poder para vencer al Señor Tenebroso se acerca... Uno de los dos debe morir a manos del otro, pues ninguno de los dos podrá vivir mientras siga el otro con vida.». El anciano director solicitará la ayuda de Harry y juntos emprenderán peligrosos viajes para intentar debilitar al enemigo, para lo cual el joven mago contará con la ayuda de un viejo libro de pociones perteneciente a un misterioso príncipe, alguien que se hace llamar Príncipe Mestizo.

Harry's outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry's anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming. Harry's detention with Professor Umbridge. Rowling shows her darker side, leading readers to believe that Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for young wizards. Dolores represents a bureaucratic tyrant capable of real evil, and Harry is forced to endure their private battle of wills alone. Harry and Cho's painfully awkward interactions. Rowling clearly remembers what it was like to be a teenager. Harry's Occlumency lessons with Snape. Dumbledore's confession to Harry.

Re: Please help Me please!!
Your job history may not be that big of a deal. When you have an extended absence from the workforce, FHA requires you be back on the job for at least 6 months (which you have been, since you started in April of 2010) and that you can document the reason for your absence (having a spouse who was the breadwinner, and you raised the family, is a commonly acceptable reason) and that you can document a 2 year employment history prior to the absence (which it sounds like you may be able to, since you said you went back to a previous employer). If that sounds like it's you, then you should be able to use the $4,500/mo income that you say you are making to qualify.
It wasn't really clear what type of monthly payments you have, it sounds like you have a lease at $389/mo + $112/mo (total of $501/mo) and then another car loan also at $389/mo with $4k left on it? Wasn't sure if that's correct.
If so, your debt ratio is a little on the high side, about 51%, assuming that taxes run about 1.25% of the sales price in your area, and that the insurance would be in the $900/year range. Not to say that couldn't qualify, but you'd have to exhibit some good compensating factors such as good credit scores (which a 739 score would be) and reserves/assets available after closing (which you'd only need a $7k down payment on a $200k sales price), and there it sounds like you have $17k+ in your name so if you can get the seller to pay closing costs you should definitely be good in that department too. I'd also recommend you document that your husband pays the car lease in your name, it wouldn't be able to be excluded from your debt ratio but it certainly helps an underwriter feel more comfortable approving that higher debt ratio (without that lease, your debt ratio would be at 39%, right where FHA likes it). But because of the debt ratio at 51%, I could see an underwriter wanting you to have at least 1 year on the job. If you plan on applying after your 2010 taxes are filed, you should be close to the 1 year mark. You should also file your 2009's if you haven't already, as the underwriter will verify that they've been filed.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
His filomography has no shortage of meaty roles, but with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Anthony Mackie found one he could really sink his teeth into.
In this tale that spins history on its head, the New Orleans native plays William Johnson, Honest Abe's childhood friend who gives him political advice by day and helps him slay vampires by night.
In our exclusive video, Mackie talks about his favorite vampire movies (hint: Twilight is not on the list), Barack Obama's super power and his thoughts on the biggest civil issue of today, same-sex marriage.

Reviewed By Harry B (Monticello, FL) Reviewed for a 2015 Chevy Sonic —9/26/2015 6:59 AM
As another has stated this is not a stiff mat such as a WeatherTech but then it's half the price. It does have a lip that runs around the circumference so it will retain moisture on the mat. It doesn't stink up the car, a big plus. For a Chevy Sonic hatchback it's not a perfect fit, the problem area being a bit too large toward the back of the car. The box said it was for a Chevy Aveo which might be the problem. Still overall I would recommend it.

Order of War: Challenge PC
- Publisher: Wargaming.net
- Release Date: Mar 11, 2010
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Casual gamers will not be very happy with Order of War: Challenge, but people who like to challenge other players in multiplayer battles and spare some more time to optimize their tactics and strategies will have many entertaining hours full of WW2 action.
This add-on may not optimizes the gameplay or eliminates the weaknesses of Order of War, but it enhances the gaming experience with exciting new modes for action-packed multiplayer battles.
Order of War: Challenge feels more like a foundation than a complete experience. It's polished and has plenty of options for setting up games, but questionable troop-types and the lack of advanced, tactical features keep Challenge in the shadows of other RTS games.

Even with Jefferson, we're still one of the worst teams in the NBA (if Cho and Higgins want us to be). I'm not totally convinced that our roster is actually that bad (remember how we started), there were times when I literally thought that MJ told the guys to go out there and shave points.

During a drag-race event in Florida, the Tesla Model S P85D ran the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds at 114.6 miles per hour, the new mark for BEVs at the drag strip. Proving its pace, it ran three more times in 11.69, 11.72 and 11.76 seconds.

This last-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 does things that SUVs just shouldn't be able to do, like win drag races against tuned Nissan GT-R and BMW M3 coupes. Granted, the owner isn't coming into this fight with a stock Jeep – far from it. In addition to twin turbos whistling away, he says the engine is a 449-cubic-inch V8, which is nearly 7.4 liters of displacement.

The Dodge Charger R/T is all set to rocket down the drag strip in NHRA Funny Car competition with a completely redesigned body debuting at this year's SEMA Show. While only the front decal, side scallops and rear logo really signal this racer as a Charger, that doesn't take away from its promise of hitting absolutely ludicrous speeds.

When it comes to street-legal cars there's "power," there's "Power" and then there's "PAHRRRRRR!" This Bentley Continental GT dragster built by Webster Engineering in Bedford, England owns that third category, with its 3,082-horsepower heartbeat erupting from a twin-turbo, 10.2-liter Chevrolet V8 crate motor built by Steve Morris Engines.

From the 1959 Cuban Revolution until just recently, it was illegal to buy or sell cars in Cuba without government approval. There were also very few new cars brought into the country. At the same time, racing was also banned on the island nation because it was considered an elitist sport. Of course, a government can do its best to prohibit whatever it wants, but that's not always going to stop passionate people from pursuing what they want to do. And that's exactly what has happened with racing

Abortion, not eating meat, is murder

To The Editor: Driving to the mall one day I noticed a bumper sticker at a red light: Meat is murder! and Love animals, dont eat them! Are you awake America? I love animals, I love to eat them and enjoy them! I eat the ones youre supposed to eat, and enjoy the ones youre supposed to enjoy.
Red meat is bad for you? No! Green meat is bad for you. Lets get it right, people, abortion is murder! This is a nation of too many people more concerned for animal life than human life. We have murdered over 40 million unborn lives since the early 1970s. How many cures for AIDS, cancer, etc., have we aborted since then? Jan. 18 through the 25th is Sanctity of Human Life Week.

Olympics History >> Berlin 1936 >> Key Moments
Berlin 1936 - Key Moments
Hail Jesse
Hitler and his generals foresaw the Berlin Games as the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the might of the Nazi propaganda machine - especially their theories on the supremacy of the Aryan race over Jews, Blacks and other non-Germans. Jesse Owens had other ideas.
In a matter of days, the "Black Pearl" of American athletics shattered this propaganda like a house of cards by achieving an unprecedented run of four gold medals in the 100m, 200m, long jump, and 4x100m. Much to Hitler's disappointment.
For Owens, it was the result of pure athletic ability that was first noticed on the track of Fairmont Junior High School in Cleveland, Ohio one afternoon in 1928.
Only 15 years old, he ran the 100 yards in a time of 9.8sec before jumping 1.85m in the high jump and 7.65m in the long jump.
A few weeks before the Berlin meeting, Owens gave notice of his intention to shine by smashing the 100m world record in a time of 10.2 sec. For this particular son of a slave, there were two objectives tied to the Games: to win a medal for his country, but above all to establish the fact that all races were equal.
Hitler in disarray
His initial response came in the 100m final, the first of his medals, with an Olympic record time of 10.3 sec, pulling ahead of his compatriot Ralph Metclafe.
In the 200m, he beat another compatriot, Matthew Robinson, before overtaking Lutz Long in the long jump on his last attempt (8.06m) to win his third title - much to the great disappointment of Hitler who, having already welcomed and congratulated many victorious athletes, left the stadium quickly to avoid congratulating Owens.
The "black pearl" of American athletics continued his haul with a team win in the 4x100m, establishing a world record in 39.8 sec. In total, he won four gold medals between August 3 - 9.
Unfortunately the shine would soon wear off for Owens on his return to his homeland. In short, the rest of his career was less fruitful and he was accused of, and suffered, the subsequent effects of professionalism. Aged only 24, he was denied the right to participate in further Olympic competition.
"Jessie" subsequently spent his time working for the improvement of the treatment of his African-American countrymen, meriting him the title "United States ambassador for the Third World" by President Eisenhower. Ironically, yet another fight for equality.

The world requires inexpensive, reliable, and sustainable energy sources. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, which converts sunlight directly into electricity, is an enormously promising solution to our energy challenges. This promise increases as the efficiencies are improved. One straightforward method of increasing PV device efficiency is to utilize multi-junction cells, each of which is responsible for absorbing a different range of wavelengths in the solar spectrum. Indium gallium nitride (In x Ga1−x N) has a variable band gap from 0.7 to 3.4 eV that covers nearly the whole solar spectrum. In addition, In x Ga1−x N can be viewed as an ideal candidate PV material for both this potential band gap engineering and microstructural engineering in nanocolumns that offer optical enhancement. It is clear that In x Ga1−x N is an extremely versatile potential PV material that enables several known photovoltaic device configurations and multi-junctions with theoretic efficiencies over 50 pct. This potential is driving immense scientific interest in the material system. This paper reviews the solar PV technology field and the basic properties of In x Ga1−x N materials and PV devices. The challenges that remain in realizing a high-efficiency In x Ga1−x N PV device are summarized along with paths for future work. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the potential for In x Ga1−x N photovoltaic technology in the future.

Asheville area cell tower gets public support
Published: Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 8:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 8:30 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A 150-foot communications tower being designed to resemble a white pine tree will soar over the upscale Biltmore Forest suburb of Asheville if residents approve an upcoming test run.
Town officials plan to launch a balloon to demonstrate the height and placement of the tower, which is needed to improve reception for police dispatchers and cell phone users.
Town administrator Nelson Smith says officials hope that the literal trial balloon they plan to tether near the public works building will help determine what people think about the idea.
Smith says persistent problems with wireless phone service have generated support for the project so far.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
There's a nice variety to this four-scene wall-to-waller that balances out pretty well to give it a higher than usual rating for this sort of tape. A superior four-girl lesbo bout is the opener, with three of the newer ladies (Chris Collins, Carmel St. Clair, Jessica Fox) with veteran Jade East. Nicely done! The incredibly gorgeous Samantha Strong goes one-on-one with Tom Chapman, and it is a slow, sensual scene that is among her best ever. We end up with a Samantha York/six guy gang-bang, which makes me think that six guys isn't enough for this lady. Sixty is probably more her speed.
The only minus is the Gabriella segment. She's got a glued-on dick which looks rid-dick-ulous. In fact, the guy she's with tries to do some anal but he can't get hard, so he stuffs it in with his hand. Ms. Strong's picture graces the boxcover, and if she's ever had a bad picture taken of her, this isn't it. As always, it's a knock out.

Record attendance at 20th Essence Festival
Published: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 2:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 7, 2014 at 2:29 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — The Essence Festival — four days of celebrating R&B music, community and black culture — has set a record for annual attendance, with more than 550,000 participants in events at New Orleans' convention center and inside the Superdome.
That's about 10,000 more people than attended the 2013 festival, which included a sold-out performance by Beyonce. Organizers say the 2014 festival has earned the distinction of being the largest gathering in its 20 year history.
This year's festival marked the 20th anniversary with more than 80 musical performances, highlighted by Prince, Lionel Richie, Charlie Wilson, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Janelle Monae, Trey Songz and The Roots. There were also more than 150 speakers addressing everything from solutions to crime and violence to growing entrepreneurs and maintaining healthy relationships.
