From Our Editors
Beneath decorative surfboards and hanging tropical plants, plates of Angus burgers and pub fare emerge from Duke's kitchen as glasses overflow with cocktails and brews. Cavalcades of nachos and chicken wings prance across platters and the menu's five varieties of hand-packed ground Angus chuck burgers lounge on hawaiian and sourdough rolls beside entourages of seasoned fries. At the full bar, bartenders decant 12 draft beers and reminisce with patrons about last year's most impressive spit take. Booths, tabletops, and bar seating cushion guests amid Hawaiian artwork and a colorful mosaic while pool tables and televisions arouse revelry. A lineup of DJs, karaoke, and live acoustic and reggae nights comprise the bar's weekly entertainment.

Mohammad Hannon, Associated Press
GENEVA — Russia and Iran on Tuesday criticized the U.N. chief's decision to withdraw Tehran's invitation to join this week's peace conference on Syria, as diplomats said a new report on Syrian regime atrocities underscored the urgent need to try to end the country's brutal civil war.
The last-minute U.N. invitation for Iran to participate in the so-called Geneva conference threw the entire meeting into doubt, forcing U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to rescind his offer late Monday under intense U.S. pressure after Syria's main Western-backed opposition group threatened to boycott.
After Ban withdrew the invitation, the opposition Syrian National Coalition confirmed that it would attend the talks, stressing the goal should be to establish a transitional government with full executive powers "in which killers and criminals do not participate."
That cleared the way for the conference to open Wednesday as planned in the Swiss resort city of Montreux, with high-ranking delegations from the United States, Russia and close to 40 other countries attending. Face-to-face negotiations between the Syrian government and its opponents — the first of the uprising — are to start Friday in Geneva.
Expectations for a breakthrough at the conference are low. The front lines of the war have been largely locked in place since March, and despite suffering enormous losses, neither the government nor the opposition appears desperate enough for a deal to budge from its entrenched position.
It's also unclear how the opposition coalition, a weak and fractured umbrella group with almost no sway over the most powerful rebel groups inside Syria, could enforce any agreement reached in Geneva.
The determination to hold the talks anyway is a reflection of the urgency felt by the international community to find a political resolution to end the civil war that activists say has killed more than 130,000 people and unleashed a humanitarian crisis.
For some of the more than 2 million Syrian refugees scattered around the region, there is little hope that the peace conference can deliver a solution to the conflict, and scant interest in a settlement with President Bashar Assad's government.
"We lost our faith in the international community. We don't care about the Geneva conference and whether it takes place or not," said Ibraheem Qaddah, a former rebel fighter now holed up in Jordan's sprawling Zaatari refugee camp.
"We have lost a lot of relatives and friends and family members in the fighting and we've lost Syria. We are not looking for reconciliation with Bashar Assad," said Qaddah, whose left arm was amputated after he was severely wounded in the war.
In the latest report of atrocities, three prominent international war-crimes experts said they had received tens of thousands photographs documenting what they called the systematic killing of some 11,000 detainees by Syrian authorities. The images, which were smuggled out by a defector from Syria's military police, showed victims' bodies with signs of torture and maltreatment.
David Crane, one of the three experts who examined the newly revealed images of slain detainees, told The Associated Press that the cache provides strong evidence for charging Assad and others for crimes against humanity — "but what happens next will be a political and diplomatic decision."
"These photographs, if they are real, they reconfirm what we already are thinking and so we hope that the talks in Montreux and further on will produce results," said European Union President Herman Van Rompuy. "We don't need more evidence. If there is other evidence, all the better, but we don't need more evidence on the humanitarian tragedy that is happening there."

EXACTLY Hearstfan!
It's cool that you respectfully disagree Karma. But what you should understand is that you are wrong in this instance! Parays Haralson was drafted to rush the QB from the OLB position on Nolan's team NOT Manny Lawson. Once again the assumption from observers outside of the organization and fans who listened to them thought that that was why he was drafted which is incorrect. Like Hearstfan stated Nolan/McCloughan drafted Manny Lawson to replace Julian Peterson who wanted to get paid like a QB for playing DE, LB, CB, & a lil S (Tony Parrish was hurt if I recall correctly) in a game (against seattle in 02/03 before he tore his ACL) and because of durability concerns they refused to pay him top dollar so he left as a UFA and went to, wait for it.......Seattle! Manny Lawson is multi-demisional player. He played on both ST units and has blocked punts and FG's and made many score saving tackles on those units and he played the run very well. Since he Nolan & staff weren't good at teaching technique and didn't preach/practice repetition it's hard to expect any one particular player to learn one thing well enough become what he envisioned them to be! Had the 49ers kept Manny Lawson the pass defense would be much better than it is and Shawntae Spencer wouldn't be wasting a roster spot!

Historical Traveler Reviews Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort And Spa San Luis Obispo
Avoid the Gardens of Avila Restaurant
I got my husband a birthday present here, including a massage, followed by hot tubbing and dinner in the restaurant. Beware: the place recently sold and it is NOT the same quality as before.
First the good news. The massage itself was great. However, the check-in was delayed and disorganized. The changing rooms were ridiculously small and while using them, I encountered several people who were griping about the foul-up in their spa reservations, the luke warm temperature of the hot tubs, and the crowded nature of the changing area. As for our experience, the hot tubbing was mediocre, and the restaurant was downright dismal. Aside from our being seated one hour past our reservation time, the service was slow, we had to ask three times for our wine to be delivered to the table (they just kept forgetting), and the entrees were lousy and small. The lobster bisque was a joke; surely edible but barely enough volume to fill your soup spoon. The vegetable cassoulet was chock full of pepper and barely edible. Everything was very expensive. ALL OF THE HELP was very voung and inexperienced. We saw no recognizable management. At the restaurant, we overheard the table next to us expressing displeasure with their service. We can't speak to the accommodations, but advise that you do not go to the restaurant here unless you want to spend a lot of money for a tiny value.
Great water, great tubs, but ...
I stayed at Sycamore Mineral Springs in December 2004 and don't particularly recommend it. Hot tubs on every patio pumped with mineral water fresh from the springs. The water and tubs are absolutely fantastic! The hotel restaurant is also great. Very good dishes at a moderate price. And there are several hiking trails - take the one up the side of the hill for an outstanding ocean panorama.
Who could ask for more, right? Well ... me for one. There is a surprising amount of noise throughout the property. It's mainly due to the road that cuts through the property. There's basically no place on the property where you can't hear the cars go by. Try to get a room facing the hill otherwise you'll hear traffic from your tub. :( My $130 room (the least expensive available) was clean but definitely had the feeling of a cheap motel - cramped, sterile, poorly lit, no work space. If I were to do it again I'd just stop in for a soak, but rent a room somewhere else.
A nice idea but...
We visited Sycamore in April of this year, anticipating a quiet, romantic weekend getaway, however, this place did not live up to expectations. We stayed at the Cottage, a one bedroom, two full bath suite situated by itself. It looked promising, but it was much too close to the road and the traffic noise was with us pretty much all the time. The cleanliness of the room also left much to be desired. Dirt in the corners, and cobwebs throughout was not what one expects when paying nearly $300 a night for a room. The hotub was of course what we most looked forward to, but it was also dirty as they do not provide covers for the tubs. The wood deck needed to be swept and you really couldn't walk out there in your bare feet (unless you wanted to wash them afterward) because they would end up filthy. We ate breakfast at the resort's restaurant, Gardens of Avila, and the first morning it was very good, but the second, on Sunday, was terrible. The service, the accuracy of the orders was very bad. I found it hard to believe that they could be so good one day and so bad the next. I might try them again, but my husband would never go for it. You only get one chance to impress him and Sycamore failed. We won't be back.
Signature Escape
I was there last week with my wife. The resort is running a special deal $329 buys you one night in a luxury suite and it includes a $50 dollar voucher for "The Gardens of Avila"
The suite "Calming" was located on the north side of the grounds across the highway. Really nice accomodations. It was a two bedroom suite with a fireplace, a double shower (with two shower heads), a very nice full-size tub in a very private balcony.
The restaurant was also excellent, I had the New York Strip with a jalapeno corn bread. (It sounds weird but it was delicious, very moist). My wife enjoyed the salmon medallions in an Asian marinade. After dinner, we ordered the creme brule trio which was delicious.
We had a great time. Can't wait to do it again!
Better than Disneyland!
The hot tubs are the best. It is my favorite place to go!
I smell that "scent" and as a reflex my body starts relaxing!
Lots to love about this place
We were in a standard room (Whimsical) and found it pretty....well...standard. Everything worked, but I could not call it luxury. The private mineral bath whirlpool was clearly the outstanding feature of the room, and even though some of the jets didn't work, it was still pretty cool. Well, hot, actually.
The resort grounds were stunning. The restaurant (The gardens of Avila) was five-star. I had an amazing romaine hearts salad followed by seven-vegetable cous-cous with dried fruit, and my wife had a terrific salad of baby greens, Maytag blue cheese, hazelnuts and apples, in a tangerine vinaigrette, followed by curried seafood paella. Amazing. Priced moderately expensive. We found the breakfasts at The Gardens of Avila equally delicious and quite moderately priced.
Our massages were great, in newly remodeled spa center. The mineral soak in the private wood tubs on the side of the mountain, preceding our massages, were particularly enjoyable.
Everything was great, but we would probably upgrade to a better room if we return.
Nice Place to Stay
We have been to Sycamore Mineral Springs Resorts twice this year (January and April). Upon arrival, the resort looked like a very nice place to stay. However, once we checked into our room (standard room - Harmony building) I was a bit disappointed. The room and hot tub were very dated and in need of renovation. We voiced our complaints and the management team handled our situation very well. They moved us into a luxury suite the next day. This suite was very nice, but there were still many cosmetic flaws for the normal price of $300 per night (missing handles, hot tub cabinet door off hinges, etc.). Despite these flaws, our experience was very nice. The resort is very relaxing. When we returned in April, we stayed in one of the West Meadow Suites (normally about $300 per night). This unit was very clean and modern and resembled a miniature model home. The private deck with hot tub was even nicer than the set up in the other buildings. Keep in mind that only two of the buildings and all of the redwood tubs (20 or so) that are located throughout the hillside use the mineral based water. All of the other units use regular water. The rotten egg smell around the property is caused by the sulfer in this mineral water and is easy to get over since one knows that it isn't a sewage problem. Overall, we had a great time on both trips; very peaceful and quiet. However, we feel that the room rates are exorbitant. We would definitely return if we are able to receive a discount for lodging. In addition, the hotel is renovating some of the buildings.
It smelled like rotten eggs
Sorry but we hated it ..place smells sorry..but it does ..ruined otherwise great weekend
Best place to Relax
One of our favorite places. Recomend paying extra for one of the cabins or 1 bedrooms. The connected hotel room protion is a bit dated and loud. But each room has its own personal hot spring spa and renting out a tub at night can't be missed. Your skin feels butter soft after.
Plenty of activities to do in nearby Pismo beach. Also Avila beach is small but lovely. (Hearst Castle, Ocean Kyacking, ATV rentals)
Wonderful Getaway!
perfect romantic getaway. Every room has a private mineral spa, highly rated Gardens of Avila restaurant on site. Spa services, hiking and if you don't get a room there they rent private mineral spa on the hill until 1am.

You enter the Mount Olympus trail at the end of of the Waahila Ridge trail. You can go beyond this sign, but the trail is not maintained by the state, so be cautious.
Animals along on the trail were scarce. However we did snap a picture of a pair of wild rabbits at the beginning of the hike.
This slick slope made for the first real obstacle on the hike. We found ourselves grabbing onto the large log for support as we climbed. Someone has already left a rope in place.
An unnamed hiker in the distance.
Ohia lehua growing along the trail. The vibrant red blossoms are a popular, though difficult to use, material for lei.
One hiker's shoe didn't make it out intact.

Likewise, the back of the Palolo Valley on the other side.
Going up. Stairs were carved right into the earth by hikers.
Palolo Valley on the left. Manoa Valley on the right. Hard to believe the mountain down the middle is our path thus far.
Another small grassy knoll. Take advantage of these spots for not only rest breaks, but photo ops.
Standing at the foot of Olympus. Nowhere to go but up.
Foot space up the mountain is tight as the trail narrows drastically. You will be grabbing on to rocks and foliage as you ascend.
A thick blanket of fog rolled in that afternoon, obstructing views of Hawaii Kai and Waimanalo. Trust us, it's there.
The final ascent. The summit of Olympus looms in the foggy distance.
The trail going up was thick with native grasses and shrubs. Despite the heavy fog, visibility along the trail was fine.

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article for Seeking Alpha that detailed how legendary investor Jeremy Grantham thought investors should be looking in the natural gas sector for investment ideas.
Actually, what Grantham said was a little more interesting than that, so I'll use his exact words which come from his year end letter:
At the opposite end of the resource spectrum to record-priced Iowa farmland is natural gas. Natural gas is, for most purposes like home heating and electric utility plants, a better and cleaner fuel than oil or coal, but is for technical reasons in distress: there have been several recent decades in which the BTU equivalent price for natural gas did, at least for a second, reach parity with oil. But now it is at just 14% of BTU equivalency, the lowest in almost 50 years. Everyone who has a brain should be thinking of how to make money on this in the longer term.
I read that and combined the information with the fact that I have a brain, so I've been looking for investments in the natural gas sector. Recently, I continued my search by listening in on the conference call of major natural gas producer Encana (NYSE:ECA). Seeking Alpha provides the transcript if you are interested.
Much of the Capital Now Moving to Oil Drilling Is Not Coming Back to Natural Gas
Encana and Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK) are two of the largest natural gas producers in North America. Both have been incredibly successful in finding and producing natural gas from unconventional sources. In fact they have been too successful as they have played a large part in oversupplying the market with the cleaner fuel.
I've been watching both of them, and what intrigues me is that while both are suffering from low natural gas prices now, both also have huge inventories of oil and liquids rich drilling inventories that are going to drive each company going forward.
At this point, it is pretty obvious that if you have the choice of drilling an oil well or drilling a natural gas well, you are going to go with the former. Companies like Chesapeake and Encana are at the point where they don't need to drill natural gas wells and won't need to for a long time because they have years of oil and liquids drilling locations. These two companies alone are taking enough capital out of natural gas to put a dent in supply.
In the conference call, Encana confirmed that they are not in a rush to go back to drilling natural gas wells:
Furthermore, when natural gas prices do improve, it is not our intention to flood the market with gas in response to a modest increase in price. We will need to see sustained prices in a range that provides competitive returns with our oil and liquids investments and which are more reflective of the marginal cost to supply, which we believe is in the range of $4 to $6 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Once natural gas prices return to a more sustainable level, we believe that Encana's shareholders will benefit more from the impact of higher natural gas prices on our base level of production than from increasing natural gas production at an aggressive pace. We see significant opportunities for oil and natural gas liquids developments in our current portfolio of assets.
Going forward, we believe Encana will essentially have 3 distinct and meaningful businesses focused on natural gas, NGLs and oil. While the market drivers for each commodity are very different, the technology and operational efficiencies required to develop each type of assets are the same.
Like Encana, Chesapeake had made a massive shift in spending away from natural gas and towards oil and liquids. And like Encana, that capital is not going to come back to natural gas for a long time.
Chesapeake makes this exact point in its April Investor presentation:
Once producers convert to drilling wells that produce $10-17/mcfe units and finish drilling to HBP their gas shale leases (90-95% done already), why would they go back to drilling natural gas wells if prices increase from $3/mcf to $4/mcf or $5/mcf or $6/mcf or $7/mcf? CHK believes this is the single biggest misunderstood aspect of the future bull case for U.S. natural gas.
The natural gas oversupply situation in North America was created by billions and billions of dollars being directed at drilling unconventional natural gas wells. This natural gas unconventional revolution came before the same unconventional revolution that is now going on for oil drilling. Much of the natural gas drilling in the past couple of years continued despite poor economics (low natural gas prices) because companies like Chesapeake and Encana had to drill wells or risk losing the acreage they had leased.
Now the Independent producers like Chesapeake and Encana have virtually stopped drilling dry natural gas wells because they have a much better alternative with oil and liquids rich unconventional opportunities. The capital that these companies have is always going to go to the highest rate of return opportunity they have, and even at $6/mcf a natural gas well can't compete for capital with a $100/barrel oil well. Chesapeake alone is dropping from 75 dry natural gas drilling rigs in 2011 down to 24 in 2012.
I'm not suggesting that I'm super bullish on natural gas even in the long term, but I am inclined to think that this redirection of capital is at least going to allow natural gas prices to get back to levels at which producers can turn a profit. I would guess that price being $4.50/mcf to $6.00/mcf.
I'm still not ready to invest heavily in natural gas weighted names, but I think later this summer might be a very good time to do so. What I am really interested in are names like Chesapeake which will work out well as an investment because of its exposure to oil and liquids, with a rebound in natural gas providing additional upside.
Now if I can only get a new Board of Directors and CEO in place at Chesapeake who will protect shareholders' best interests.
Disclosure: I am long (CHK).

Everyone talks about the big Federal deficit, but the local government debt, and increased cost of operation is every bit as much of problem. If this is a good idea, how about the city getting some local investors to foot the bill. Otherwise, sweep and clean the streets and side walks, and protect public safety.

In today's tough economic climate elected leaders should take their duty to safeguard public funds seriously. This move by political leaders in Salt Lake City appears to be a separation from that trust. Salt Lake City has a number of beautiful venues designed to facilitate events classified as arts. The investment of these funds could be better spent on police and fire departments, schools, shelters or a whole host of other more critical areas in and around the city. While Mayor Becker has worked diligently to have this dream come to fruition, one does have to ask if now, today is the appropriate time. Does this project benefit only a handful of residents or all residents? If these funds are earmarked for the arts, and only the arts then I am certain the other venues (Pioneer Theater, Capitol Theater, etc…) could use one hundred million dollars. The public trust is more than symbolism over substance and too often, our elected leaders skirt the line between the two. This appears to be the case with this issue.

@ S Andrew
the pubic has put and continues to put our trust in our mayor to move forward with this project and other city business that will strengthen our city. Helooo is in the minority in our city and county, we voted these people into office because of the things they are doing not in spite of it. If all you want from your city officials is for them to sweep the streets and clean the side walks then those are the people you should elect to you city and county offices.

Another example of government being involved in areas that they have no business
in. If it was so wonderful why hasn't any private businesses stepped up to
the plate to build it.
Plus how many more cars will have to come to downtown and idle? That will increase pollution.

How many additional cars will go to downtown Payson because of this project? probably none. Here is the thing the people of SLC and county voted our current representatives into office and support their actions so they are involved in what they should be. If you do not want a theater in Payson then make sure you do not vote for a mayor or other elected officials that support building one.

I'm sure Mr. Becker's project will be a great benefit for Salt Lake City. Let me share how we addressed a similar issue in Kanab earlier this year. We built an outdoor performing arts amphitheater entirely with volunteers and donated funds. Individuals with very different perspectives on the world worked side by side and you could see our sense of community grow with every shovel full of dirt and each nail pounded. This project replaced a small gazebo that was torn down to make way for a new civic building. Our attendance at summer performing arts events has increased 350% with our largest attendance being 320... in a community of 4,000. I hope Salt Lake City's project realizes comparable success.

A Whangarei family has been shattered by thieves who stole
Christmas presents and frozen meat during a day-time
Onerahi Community Constable Spence Penney said the alarm was
raised by the home owner who returned to find an empty
freezer basket in the hallway about 1.40pm on Wednesday.
A police dog and handler were called to the house in Sherwood
St but were unable to track the offenders.
The woman realised not only had meat been taken from the
freezer, but jewellery, a television and Christmas presents
were also stolen.
Mr Penney said it appeared the offenders had forced their way
into the house through a bathroom window.
The theft comes as Northland police warned neighbours should
keep their eyes peeled for strangers lurking with backpacks
this summer.
Whangarei Sergeant Stephanie Hudson said people should invest
in good quality locks, get neighbours, family or friends to
clear mail, install security lights and lock away valuables
before going away on holiday.
Other suspicious behaviour to watch out for included
strangers coming to the door asking for someone that didn't
live there, she said.
"Take note of anyone walking around the street, especially
anyone with backpacks.
"Just anyone that doesn't look like they fit in on your
There were 206 burglaries reported in Northland in October,
down from 233 for the same time last year.
Western Bay of Plenty recorded 150 burglaries in October, and
Rotorua 117.
Nationally, more than 57,000 burglaries were committed during
the past financial year of which fewer than 9000 were
resolved by police.
National prevention manager Superintendent Bruce Bird said
with many people about to head away on Christmas holiday, now
was the time to protect property.
Getting to know your neighbours better, installing a burglar
alarm and even placing a "Beware of the Dog" sign on your
property could also deter burglars.
Don't leave keys hidden in the garden either, as burglars
knew all the places to look.
Recording the serial numbers of expensive items on the police
community partnership website Operation SNAP also discouraged
criminals from taking your property and meant a better chance
of catching criminals if they handled or on-sold identifiable

Being stuck on Long Island I can tell you that Hess is the trade over Valero. Every Hess station I've passed over the past 5 days has had a line of 30 or 40 cars long. They are one of the few stations that are not willing to nickel and dime their customers with different rates for cash and credit. For that very reason they have a loyal customer base that remains faithful to the company.

Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 137
Director: Michael Stefano
Company: Michael Stefano Productions
Distribution Companies: Platinum X Pictures
Cast: Victoria (I), Nika, Alissa (I), Steve Holmes (I), Marco Nero, Neeo, Nacho Vidal, Vanessa (I), Sandra Romain, Michael Stefano, Dora Venter, Sarah O'Neal
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
The cover is pretty generic, but don't let that dissuade you from stocking heavily.
A rollicking logjam of head-spinning action awaits the viewer gaining Full Anal Access 3. With companions Dora Venter and Alissa, Stefano finds himself and his first mate on a journey deep into the fart of darkness. Of particular interest to your gymnasstically-inclined customers is a sequence wherein Dora receives double penetration with her legs wrapped around the waists of the guys - while they stand and plow her fore and aft; Alissa below swabbing their decks like a devoted hand. (Definite pre-noms here.)
A subsequent foursome almost hits the very same heights, though, in this case, nasty little Nika is the only female on board. Those scoring at home may note that all the guys do not necessarily occupy the same room at the same time, except for the finale, when a triple burst of bull gravy greases her spunk-starved mouth.
Yet another loin-stirring foursome - with Stefano and a Vin Diesel look-alike - begins on the stairs, middles in the bedroom and ends between the split-cheeked ditches of Sarah and Vanessa. This full-service sequence may not be as athletic as the opener, but it contains more authentic clam chowder slurping. (Another pre-nom, please.)
Raven-haired Sandra Romain is up last for a doubled-pronged, kiester-stabbing session. This is the kind of material that makes viewers clutch the arms of their couches with white knuckles; though why we'd rather not speculate. Frankly, for this reviewer, the sight of two dicks in one gaping ass is just too homo-neurotic to evaluate objectively.

A man fatally stabbed in Invercargill early today has been
named by police as Darnell Glen Leslie.
Senior Sergeant Olaf Jensen said the 31-year-old Invercargill
resident was found mortally wounded when police were called
to an address in Charles Street, in the north of the city,
about 1am.
Mr Leslie was taken to Southland Hospital where he died a
short time later.
Mr Jensen said a 26-year-old man, suffering injuries, was
found at the address and taken to hospital.
About 20 police investigators, including ESR staff, were
working on the inquiry and the Charles Street house had been
cordoned off while a scene examination was carried out.
Mr Jensen highlighted the excellent work of police and St
John staff who responded to the emergency call.
They had been able to immediately remove Mr Leslie from the
scene and take him to hospital.
"The armed offenders squad was then used to secure the
address and located the 26-year-old male inside the address
suffering from injuries that required hospitalisation," Mr
Jensen said.
"His injuries are not life-threatening and the cause of which
will form part of the investigation." Mr Jensen said police
had not yet interviewed the injured man, but were not looking
for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Sorry, that question should be : why aren't any Malfoys present at Snape's funeral?
Author's Response: I'd figured that out. :)
I was rereading this story; despite the "grave" topic, there's a lot of hope in it too. It's inspiring how the different characters help each other face going forward through their grief.
But this time through, I had a question. Why aren't any Malfoys present? There are cynical reasons for them to be present (good to be seen mourning the hero who was their friend), as well as personal ones (he did save Draco). Narcissa may not have wanted to leave Andromeda, but wouldn't she have insisted that Draco attend?
Author's Response: That's a good question. Why indeed?
I vaguely remember working out who would go to which funerals. Did I simply forget the Malfoys? I thought I'd decided that Narcissa would attend, perhaps not. I'll take another look at the chapter when I get the time.
Like Ron, I suppose I would have to be counseled before going to another country. I wouldn't want to be considered "the ugly American." I'll bet that a big difference in being in other countries would be in manners. I haven't been out of the States except for Canada when I was young. I loved that you brought the Cattermoles back into the story. Who can forget Reg and Mary. I'm glad they all got away safely. On to the next story.
Author's Response: Having been to the USA, Canada, and much of Europe, I think that people are, in the main, people. They're usually friendly, and mostly forgiving of the foolish tourist who fails to understand how things work. The Cattermols (or a couple of them) will feature in some of my other stories. -N-
I think if I were Hermione I would want to stay with Ron. Unlike Hermione, however, I've never had to relocate my parents and wipe their memories and find them again. I must not have any pride. I would allow Harry to buy me things. :D I liked that Molly drank fire whiskey with the two young couples. It made her more human--not that she isn't human enough but she's usually kind of strict with Ginny.
Author's Response: Thanks for the comments. Hermione is a very ethical person, and even the "greater good" of changing her parents memories (magically changing their minds!) would, I think, weigh on her. I think that Ginny will allow Harry to buy her stuff, but she needs to curb his generosity. Molly is usually strict, but there are times when she can't be. -N-
Hexworthy is an interesting name. I wouldn't have been able to resist using it either. I think this is the first story I've read that talks about Snape's funeral. Harry seemed surprised that he could smile or laugh at a funeral. I think it's acceptable to laugh because when you do that you're most likely remembering a humorous anecdote about the deceased.
Author's Response: Hexworth is only 40 miles from Ottery St Catchpole (oops, I mean Ottery St Mary), and that made it completely irresistible to me. I agree about laughter, but Harry is young and uncertain about the etiquette. -N-
I don't remember, in the seventh book, if Lavender was mentioned as being injured or killed in the Battle. I know the movie showed Greyback leaning over her. I'm not arguing about it but just trying to remember if that incident was mentioned.
Author's Response: Lavender was last seen being attacked by Greyback. The movie showed her dead, the book didn't. In my opinion she "died" in the movie because Colin Creevey didn't. -N-
Leave it to Ginny to remind Harry of his speech responsibility. I loved the part when Ginny berated George for not following orders and making the DA not follow Kingsley's orders. She's little but she's tough.
Author's Response: Thanks. Little, but tough, sums up my Ginny. I think that, in many ways, Ginny is like Molly (I aslo think that Ginny would be horrified to be compared to her mother). -N-
I think the DA was itching for a fight. Now I'm wondering who the intruders are. This is probably the one time people didn't want to see Kingsley. I think the DA was organized very well and could've taken out the intruders.
Author's Response: I'm sure you're right. Emotions are always high at funerals, but I was uncertain whether this section of the story would work. It appears that it did. -N-
That was interesting! I kind of forgot about Rita Skeeter although you did mention her a while back. Harry finding her, disguised as a beetle, in the grass was pretty funny. Maybe they could capture her in a jar or something.
Author's Response: Thanks. I'm glad you forgot about her, that was the plan. -N-
Luna is so interesting. I think her clothes sound just fine. I don't even know how George is getting by. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a twin. I love the thought of Luna riding "side saddle." I wouldn't mind seeing something like that.
Author's Response: Luna is doing her best. I'm fairly certain that George isn't getting by, not really. He's burying his grief. -N-
I was afraid that Arthur was going to give Harry "the talk." Poor Hermione! I wonder how she's going to work things out with her parents. I think this is the second story I've read where the author actually gives a more detailed account of Hermione finding her parents. I can imagine that her parents would be displeased with her. If I were her mom I think I could deal with it. I'd be happy to see her again.
Author's Response: Someone had to do it, and Arthur was the only one who could. You'll see in the following chapters how Hermione copes.
I really liked how you wrote Luna. She was amazing! The potion was great. It was what was needed. The Galleon idea was brilliant. Everyone will be able to see Colin--everyone magical that is.
Author's Response: I have to plan when and where I use Luna. This was my first real attempt to write her, and I'm glad you liked it. It took me a long time to find the right "voice" for her. she's a Ravenclaw, she isn't stupid, but she' looks at everything from a very odd perspective.
Come to think of it I've never seen a female pall bearer. That doesn't mean there can't be one. I'm just realizing how much death Harry had to deal with, especially since he had to go around and visit all of the families. I don't think I commented in the chapter that had Umbridge reporting for work shortly after the Battle. I thought hat was so funny. It was like she thought everyone wouldn't notice her if she just came to work like nothing had happened.
Author's Response: Female pallbearers remain unusual, although when I researched this I found one image of what appeared to be the funeral of a suffragette, with six female pallbearers. In my mind Dolores never saw herself as doing anything more than her duty. She worked for Ministers Fudge, Scrimgeour(presumably), and Thicknesse, so why not simply turn up for work as normal, and use the Nuremberg defence?
I suppose it was a shock for the Weasleys to see Ginny and Harry so close together. Why are we always so tense with our in-laws? I was always sure that my mother-in-law disliked me.
Author's Response: In retrospect, I think that Molly and Arthur probably suspected that something was going on. There was a lot of hand-holding going on in the Seven Potters chapter of DH. I was always a little wary of my in-laws, too.
I guess Harry can't give up his responsibilities to the families of the dead and remain hidden so people, like the Weasleys, think he's in Australia. It's odd to me when you say that a male character is nursing a child. In the US that means that a mother is breast feeding her child. Is that a common British term?
Author's Response: Harry, or so it seems to me, is incapable of giving up his responsibilities. As for nursing, it is what nurses do. It means caring for someone, and men can nurse. It can mean breastfeeding, too, but when my wife was breastfeeding, that's what we called it. It appears to be another difference in our shared language.
I guess if people thought Harry was in Australia he could go 'underground' for a while. It will become apparent soon, though, that he didn't go if he's seen at the Ministry.
Author's Response: It will, but Harry will get a few days respite from outside pressures, something which he probably needs.
I like how you disposed of Dumbledore's wand. I didn't like what happened in the movie with Harry breaking the Elder Wand and throwing it into an abyss. I can imagine that Harry would want to be alone right now. He has to sort things out.
Author's Response: Thanks for the reviews. This was the first story I attempted to write. i soon discovered that attempting a novel-length post-battle story as my first wasn't easy, and I interspersed writing it with some practice one-shots. I agree with you about the wand, and I knew I didn't want Ron and Hermione around when he disposed of it. Harry needs to clear his head. -N-
I first delved into fan fiction to read stories about the fall out of the battle. Often writers skip it. Perhaps because it is too sad. Even JKR herself left it all and jumped 19 years into the future.
I loved this story. It was realistic and felt like a continuation of the book.
This story is what made me love you as an author. It had everything. The proper amount of angst, humour, fluff and action. I cried during the funerals. Fan fiction is never that good.
My only complaint is how it ended. The postscripts were cute snippets at their lives in the next few months, but I disliked the whole concept because so much of what was mentioned could have been their own one shots or chapters of a story. I for one would love to read about Ron and Harry's first days training, or about Hermione and her parents being visited by Kingsley or about Ginny helping George while dealing with the sudden fame of being the Chosen One's Chosen One. Perhaps one day when you get more time you could actually write those scenes.
Author's Response:
Like you, I first delved into fan fiction to read stories about the fall out of the battle, and like you, I discovered that writers often skip it. The ones I've tried to read (even, recently, on this site) concentrate on romantic angst and don't mention the rebuilding. I started writing this because I couldn't find a post-battle story I liked.
I tried my best tto make this a continuation of the book. I read and reread JKR's interviews and tried to make sense of what she saw happening to her characters.
When I originally planned this story I intended to end it with the funerals. I thought that it needed a postscript, a happy ever after. To be honest, at the time I didn't think that I'd still be writing the same storyline. It wasn't until I started aurors and Schoolgirls that I realised I needed a master plan. You are correct, there is a lot I could write about (and you've mentioned several things I've considered), but I'm trying to finish at least one of my chaptered stories. Perhaps one day.
ps This is review 100! Thanks for that. :-D
I accidentally read this story again yesterday. (I do that.) Your writing has improved since this early story, but I still like it for things that have been strong throughout -- the characterization and attention to detail.
This morning I was scrabbling around my nightstand for my glasses and I remembered this chapter and how Harry did the same thing -- of course he did!
And, while it doesn't relate to this chapter specifically, I was on the bus yesterday and the thought came to mind, "People who don't like Ginny in the real books would not like this Ginny."
(actually, that portion of the review should probably go with A&S, which I was also accidentally reading yesterday.)
Anyway, I admire your work. I'll try to leave more reviews so that you know.
Author's Response:
I think I know what you mean by "accidentally" reading something. I sometimes click on a story, or pick up a book, not intending to read it, but I end up getting sucked in. I keep looking at this story , spotting errors and thinking, I must fix that... Perhaps one day i will.
My Ginny is, I hope as close to canon as I can make her. I've honestly never understood the Ginny-haters, even by the end of CoS it's obvious that she's strong and self reliant.
There are a few times when it's the reviews which keep me writing, or at least, push me into writing more quickly.

Update: OC hybrid car maker lays off 71
Fisker Automotive Inc., Anaheim maker of hybrid electric luxury cars, said today that it has laid off 26 people in Delaware, delayed opening a manufacturing plant there and laid off 40 to 45 workers in Anaheim.
[caption id="attachment_103574" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Fisker Karma"][/caption]
Fisker is facing a cash crunch, which it blames on the Department of Energy withholding some of its promised loans for the Nina project.
In a written statement, Fisker said, "We have temporarily delayed work at the plant (in Delaware) based on ongoing discussions with the DOE regarding funding for the Project Nina program. As a result we have laid off 26 people."
Company spokesman Roger Ormisher called later to say that another 40 to 45 permanent and contract workers in Anaheim had also been let go.
Fisker recently started delivering its first car, the Karma that will sell for around $100,000. The Nina is to be a lower-priced hybrid car that is to be built at a former General Motors plant in Wilmington, Del.
Fisker has received $193 million of a $529 million low-interest loan from the DOE. Most of the money has been for the Karma, Fisker's luxury sedan, according to the company's statement. The last reimbursement was in May, 2011, Ormisher said.
The Associated Press said today that the DOE is withholding some of the promised money "because Fisker missed certain sales and development milestones for the Karma."
Ormisher said that once those milestones were missed the company had to renegotiate the contract.
The Register also received e-mails saying that Fisker had ended its contracts with independent engineering firms contracted to design the Nina and those firms had laid off engineers.
Ormisher said those layoffs were not part of Fisker's announcement Monday.
Fisker's statement said, "a flex model of expanding and contracting staffing for development of new cars is routine in the automotive industry. Project Nine is already well advanced. Much of the engineering, design and development is near complete and we expect to ramp up operations again quickly."
The News Journal newspaper in Delaware quotes Alan Levin, Delaware's director of economic development as saying Fisker is preserving cash until it gets more money from the DOE. "And unfortunately, until they meet the milestone that DOE continues to set...they're not able to access the additional capital that they need."
Fisker, after multiple delays, began selling its Karma sports car in November. The delays, however, have cost it some customers with 5% of orders being canceled, Marti Eulberg, Fisker's vice president of sales and marketing, told Autoweek last month.
Ormisher said that 5% cancellation rate was over three years and the company is getting more orders. It is making 20 to 25 Karmas a day.
Then, came word in December that there was a problem with the Karma's batteries that forced a recall of the cars and a temporary halt to sales, followed by a second recall last month due to a software glitch.
Fisker's prepared statement on Monday said that it continues to seek alternative funding sources. In recent months it raised $260 million in equity funding from unnamed sources. That raised its total equity funding to $850 million, the company said.
Ormisher said that private infusion of cash was because of delays in getting more DOE money.
Here is a video The Orange County Register did on the company in November of 2011:

text: Magnum Hunter Resources Another under-$10 stock that looks poised for higher prices is Magnum Hunter Resources ( MHR), an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for and the exploitation, acquisition, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, primarily in the states of West Virginia, Ohio, Texas, Kentucky and North Dakota and in Saskatchewan, Canada. This stock is off to a slow start in 2012, with shares down by over 18%. If you take a look at the chart for Magnum Hunter Resources, you'll notice that back in early May, this stock plunged from $6.45 to its June low of $3.55 a share with heavy volume. During that slide lower, shares of MHR were consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. After hitting that $3.55 low, shares of MHR went on to enter a range bound trend, with shares moving between $3.42 on the downside and $4.48 on the upside. A move outside of that range will now likely setup the next major trend for MHR. >>8 Stocks Benefiting From North America's Energy Boom Traders should now look for long-biased trades in MHR if this stock can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.37 to $4.48 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 1.4 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then look for MHR to re-test and possibly take out its 200-day moving average of $5.15 a share. If that 200-day gets taken out with volume, then MHR could re-test that May high of $6.45 a share. Traders can look to buy MHR off weakness and simply use a stop that sits close to its 50-day moving average of $3.91 a share. One could also buy off strength once MHR takes out those resistance levels, and then simply use a stop at around $4.20 to $4.06 a share. Prev 2 of 6 Next

Also, I think my statistics keeps mixing together: the ones from my old host (wordpress.com) are mixing with the ones from my new host (on wordpress.org). What to do??
