A/N: I've been having trouble really getting into this story… and also have to warn everyone that nothing terribly interesting happens until towards the end of their first trimester, so I'm going to skip most of it after they start their classes. Oh, and a magatama is like one half of yin-yang.
Chapter Four—Settling In
The boat docked at a small curve in the side of the island. The shape of the whole piece of land was like a magatama charm, with the middle school on the small spit at the top, a quidditch pitch opposite the dock at the curve in the side, and the high school buildings curving around the edges of the bottom of the island with a round practice building in the middle of them.
A middle-aged woman wearing a formal black kimono and black haori greeted them at the dock on Ryuushima along with a smiling younger man wearing a long-sleeved button up shirt, black slacks, and the same sleeveless robes as the students gathered on the dock. "I am Himejima Suzume, the Headmistress for both the chugakkou and koukou schools. This is Fujisaki Yosuke, who teaches Geography and Defense. He will settle you in your dormitories and give you an initial tour of the campus." She motioned elegantly to the man at her side. "If the Tokujyutsu students would follow me, I will show you to the hall where the testing will take place."
Harry looked at the high school students who had arrived with them with new respect. They were all still wearing the normal high school uniform, but he could see the sense in having one, since the Tokujyutsu uniform might look somewhat out of place to muggles.
Fujisaki-sensei bowed to the Headmistress. "Thank you, Himejima-kouchou." He turned to survey the forty new students with a smile. "Welcome to Ryuushima! Everyone follow me and I will show you the dormitories first so that you can deposit your things. There will be two students to a room, so if you have any preferences, I suggest you pair up now!" With that, he turned and walked away. The students surged after him, and people shuffled around to ask about rooming with those they had met thus far.
Harry and Neville decided to room together, since they were used to doing so. It wasn't until the past few years that Robert had added another room to the house so that they both had more room to themselves. He claimed he was preparing for their teenage years.
Daichi and Amaya looked at one another ruefully and decided they would each pair with anyone who hadn't found a roommate by the time they reached the dorms.
"This is RyuuChuu dormitory!" Fujisaki announced once they were closer to one end of a long L-shaped building. There was a large field opposite it with what appeared to be a classroom building and a practice building creating the other two sides of the square. "It used to have some other name, but somehow RyuuChuu stuck over the years. Many of the high school students will refer to all of you as RyuuChuu as well."
He led them inside the end of the building where they were gathered and they got their first view of the rooms. Each one had two levels with a bed in each. The upper level had a railing with a desk looking over the lower half of the room and a small wardrobe against the wall with the stairs. The lower level had the wardrobe near the bottom of the stairs, across from the door into the room, and the desk was placed directly below the upper one. A second staircase led down a few feet to a small shower and bathroom.
"There are ten rooms on each end of the building, with a dining hall in the center of the 'L'." Fujisaki informed everyone. "First floor is for the freshmen, second floor is second years, and third floor is third years. If you have a roommate, go ahead and pick a room. This end is closer to the practice building, the other is near the classrooms."
Harry and Neville said farewell to Amaya and Daichi and made there way at a sedate pace (compared to their classmates) down the hallway.
"I'm thinking the other end, near the classroom building, how about you?" Neville asked.
"Yes, please. As close as we can get, and as far as possible from the dining hall, thanks." Neither of them were very fond of high volumes of noise, which they instinctively knew would be unbearable near the practice building and the dining hall.
They passed through a large room with seating for a couple hundred people. The walls were lined with eating stations that provided different things when meals were being served. The opposite hallway currently held only a few pairs selecting rooms. The two brothers walked all the way down to the end to find that the rooms on the very end of the building were still empty. They opened both doors and compared them. The one on the right, facing the courtyard and the other buildings, was identical to the one on the left, which faced the open ocean with a view of what looked like small club rooms to the left around the rest of the building.
"It's down to the view, then," Harry mused. "Would you rather the ocean, or the trees in the square out there?"
"Trees." Neville closed the door on the left-hand room and immediately took over the ground floor space of the room they had chosen. He knew that Harry liked high places, so the loft was the perfect place for him.
They both took out their trunks, unshrinking them and placing them at the foot of their beds to unpack later. They rejoined the tour in the hallway, closing the door to their new room behind them. As they did, a sign that said 'Harry and Neville Katsuro' appeared on the door.
Amaya and Daichi reemerged from the crowd, dragging another girl and boy with them. "We're in the same wing as you!" Daichi announced. "And this is my roommate, Ken." The energetic boy waved his hand at them.
"And mine. This is Saki," Amaya introduced a very shy girl, who bowed nervously.
Harry and Neville nodded politely and introduced themselves in return.
"Now that you have a place to sleep once I've exhausted you," Himejima gave a wicked grin, "I'll show you the classroom building." He led them out the nearby doors, and they skirted the courtyard along the path to reach the second largest building on this end of the island. It was also three stories, and they learned from the teacher that they would have their classes on the first floor all year, and then switch to the second floor the next. "Sections are selected randomly, but there will be four sections of ten students each. You will not necessarily remain with the same people each year, because after the winter trimester you will move up a year and be sorted by your grades. I suggest you make friends with everyone, though."
Each of the classrooms was identical, a teacher's desk at the front of the room in front of a blackboard with three rows of four chairs facing it. Each room was labeled with the section, 1-A, 1-B, 1-C, and 1-D.
They were led into the practice building next, which had rooms for the more established clubs and the ones that had more technical equipment that needed the extra space, like the Home-Ec Club and the Music Club.
"If you are interested in joining a club, all you have to do is find their club room and ask to join once classes begin," Himejima told them. "For Track Club, Basketball Club, and the like, you may notice that there are no facilities on the island. There wasn't room. Instead, floating platforms are constructed for practices off the edges of the island. The club members will be able to fill you in on how these work and where they are located for your particular club. Other than this, there is the quidditch pitch that you saw from the dock when you landed and the high schools on the lower portion of the island. You are not barred from wandering into their territory, but be warned that they are learning more advanced magic and you may end up seeing the nurse if you aren't careful."
He led them back outside into the courtyard. "This area is communal for all middle school students. It is everyone's responsibility to keep it clean and tidy. The same goes for your rooms and classrooms. There will be a roster for each section that rotates the responsibility in the classroom building, but there will be periodic inspections of your dorm rooms, so be warned! And now, I'm sure you're all hungry, so go enjoy the only quiet dinner you're liable to get in the dining hall before the upper years return." With a flippant wave, he turned and left them to their own devices.
Their group of six followed the crowd back through the dorm and claimed a table in the airy three-story room after grabbing a tray and whatever dish struck their fancy. Staircases came down from the upper floors into the cafeteria and Harry could see from the railings that there was nothing to stop the noise from traveling from floor to floor or even from one end of the building to the other. With a sigh, he tucked into his curry rice and listened to the conversation around their table.
Neville was explaining their parenting to Saki and Ken. "We were born in the United Kingdom. Harry's parents died when he was one and a half, and mine have been in the hospital since about the same time. Robaato-san took us in as a favor to them, since they left us in his care just before they died."
"Wait," Daichi interrupted with confusion, "You're not really brothers? And I thought both of your parents died?"
"Ah, sorry!" Neville rubbed his hand over the back of his head in chagrin. "It can get confusing. We are brothers now, but we were not born that way. And I often simply tell people my parents are dead because it is easier. They are in a mental hospital. They have no idea who they are, and they wouldn't know who I am, either."
Amaya covered her mouth in horror. "How did it happen, and so close together? If you don't mind my asking, that is."
Harry decided to speak up and give his brother a break. "I know he didn't get very far in the rest of the world, but the most recent dark lord, Voldemort, was very active during our parent's lifetimes. He killed my parents and his followers tortured Neville's parents into insanity after he was defeated by Harry Potter. We were here because they had placed us with Robaato-san for our protection."
"That's terrible," Saki murmured sympathetically.
"But, why didn't you return once Voldemort was defeated?" Ken asked through a mouthful of udon, completely enthralled by the story.
Harry frowned slightly at the boy. "Our guardian has good reason to believe that Voldemort is not gone for good. Until we know for sure, we will trust his judgment on the matter."
Neville yawned. "Well, I'm knackered. I think I might go unpack and then go to sleep. The other students are returning tomorrow morning and we have opening ceremonies to attend as well."
"I'll come with you," Harry offered, picking up his tray and preparing to leave the table. He smiled at their new friends, "I'll see you all tomorrow, yes? Have a good night!"
"Good night, Harry, Neville," they answered.
The two brothers rinsed off their dishes in some spouts of water near the kitchen area and stacked their trays to the side of it before heading back to their room. It took only about thirty minutes to put away their things. The wardrobes were soon filled with clothes, the single bookcase for each boy filled, and the desk covered in writing supplies. Harry was leaning over the railing of his area watching Neville finish organizing his books and asked, "Would you like to decorate a bit?"
Neville considered for a moment. "Do you think we're allowed?"
"They didn't say we couldn't. And if we do it with magic, it's not like they couldn't undo it in about ten seconds."
"All right. Let's do it!" Neville picked up his wand and pulled out one of his books to look up some charms he remembered reading about and wanted to use.
Another thirty minutes later and the room had been transformed. Harry's area was a dark green a few shades deeper than his eyes. A strip near the ceiling had been filled with images of plants and trees growing gently in a slight breeze. Neville had decided he liked the strip and asked Harry to continue it across the rest of the room and he had added another one lower down in his section that was an actual shelf built into the wall where he placed a few real plants that he had brought from his collection at home. It was still a bit empty, but they were both sure that they would soon have even more samples from Herbology class.
Neville's walls were a slightly aqua blue that blended nicely with Harry's green. They had both agreed to make the ceiling black and covered it with stars. Harry's floor was now covered in olive green tatami mats, and Neville had changed his into a slightly off-white carpet that looked like sand at the beach.
To finish the decorations, they hung up a few posters they had brought from home. Harry had his favorite quidditch teams from Japan and the U.K. and Neville hung up several posters of some wizarding singers, which he had had Robert cast silencing spells on years before when they got them home and realized that the posters liked to actually sing.
They turned out the lights and climbed into bed, both of them smiling up at the stars above them and talking softly until they fell asleep.
Harry stood straight beside his brother in the front row among the other eighty students of the middle school. As he waited, the Headmistress stood and walked up the podium to begin the opening ceremony.
"Welcome, everyone, to another year at Ryuushima Chugakkou," she announced. "Another group of you has moved, and another has joined to take their place. I truly believe that this year's first year class will be among the most exceptional that Ryuushima has ever welcomed."
Everyone listened attentively as she continued, outlining the goals and past accomplishments of the school and her hopes for the new generation now entering. Finally, when she finished introducing the other teachers, everyone slowly filtered out of the large assembly room to look at the bulletin boards in the entrance hall to see which section they had been placed in.
Harry, Neville, Amaya, Daichi, Saki, and Ken along with four others who were also roommates with each other on the same end of the dormitory as them, were in class 1-B.
"That's excellent," Neville said when they found out from their other friends. They each took a copy of their class schedules from the folder attached to their section and studied them. All of their muggle subjects were in the mornings over the course of the week, from nine to eleven. They got a two hour break for lunch before having one of their magical courses from one to four. The afternoons and weekends were reserved for clubs and homework, except for Friday when they had astronomy at midnight on the roof of the school.
"One of the upper years told me the schedules stay pretty much the same for all three years. Always muggle studies in the morning, magical classes in the afternoons," Amaya told them.
"And every class in the same room every period." Daichi groaned. "It's just like normal middle school."
"I prefer it that way, thanks." Harry laughed. "If we were going to school in Britain, we'd have to trek halfway across a dusty old castle to get to each of our classes." He and Neville had told them about Hogwarts over breakfast that morning.
"Yeah, but that castle sounds amazing!" Ken argued. "Secret passages, tapestries, suits of armor, ghosts! It's like a mystery novel come to life."
Everyone laughed at his enthusiasm.
"Listen," Neville said a few minutes later, "I want to go see if I can find the club room for tai chi and kung fu. Why don't we all split up and hunt down the club rooms for the ones we're interested in?"
"I'm going to come with you, actually!" Ken informed Neville. "My father says that the first one should calm me down and the second one should help me burn off excess energy. So I'm going to join the same clubs."
They wandered off and Harry looked questioningly at Amaya, Saki, and Daichi.
"I want to join the Religion Club," Saki revealed quietly, and bowed to them before walking off.
"She's quiet and very formal, but she's really nice once you get to know her," Amaya said fondly. "I want to join the quidditch club, mainly. I haven't decided on anything else yet."
"Oh, good!" Harry said, "I'm going to join that one and the kendo club. What about you, Daichi?"
"I'm for kendo as well," the wide-shouldered boy told him. "I've never played quidditch, but we three might as well go check them both out together."
The other two agreed and they went to check out the little club room buildings that were hidden on the opposite side of the dorms. Each one was like a little wooden hut with a sign on the door proclaiming the name of the club that owned it. They passed half a dozen of the things before they found one of the ones they were looking for. It was about halfway up the side of the dorm building and proclaimed that it was the 'Kendo Club' in large black letters on the wooden sign.
Harry knocked on the frame before poking his head inside. "Anyone home?" he asked quietly. He almost screamed when a bamboo practice sword suddenly swooped down from beside the door and tried to take his head off. Only his quick reflexes saved him from a nasty bruise on the back of his neck.
A laughing young man appeared in the doorway and pulled off his helmet. "Good reflexes! If you want to join this club, though, that's only going to get you so far."
Harry blanched at the other boy before introducing himself and Daichi. "And we do want to join the kendo club."
"Good. I was really just messing with you, Harry-kun. I could have pulled that strike without actually hurting you. I just wanted to see your reaction. I'm Daisuke, the club captain."
"Nice to meet you," Daichi said. "Is there anything special we have to do to join?"
"Nah. Just a form to fill out. Here." Daisuke handed them both a sheet of paper that said 'Kendo Club Registration' at the top. "Fill that out and return it to me and you'll be good to go. Club meetings are every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. You don't have to come to every meeting, but try to make it at least once a week, all right?"
Nodding eagerly, the two boys left the clubroom and joined Amaya to look for the quidditch club. It ended up being the closest one to the end of the dormitories. Harry decided to let Amaya knock this time, not looking forward to getting his head taken off or something similar again. She just laughed at him, knocked once, and then sashayed into the quidditch club room.
"Chaser!" a voice cried from one corner. Harry and Daichi followed their friend in with confusion and the voice called out, "Seeker! Beater!" as they crossed the threshold into the room.
A boy with thick glasses emerged from the corner where they had heard the voice and looked them over. "You three here to join?" he asked.
"Yes," Amaya and Harry answered simultaneously while Daichi said, "I've never played before, so I don't know."
"Excellent!" The boy pushed up his glasses from where they had slipped down his nose. "And even if you haven't flown before, I'd really like you to join," he told Daichi. "We've been really low on beaters the past few years, and you have the perfect build for one."
Daichi considered, "What do beaters do?"
"They use wooden bats like these," the boy pulled one from a rack against the wall to show him, "to hit black balls called bludgers that try to attack the players and knock them off their brooms. Your job is to aim them at the opposite team and do as much damage as possible."
Daichi grinned. "I'm totally up for that."
"Excellent! Here are your forms." He procured a paper for each of them. "Return them to Arashi, the captain, when you come for practice this week. Practices are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We make as many teams as possible with the available players. Each team plays against each of the others over the course of the year—there's a middle school and a high school league. The winners get to play in the inter-school game at the end of the year. The middle school hasn't won that for more than twenty years, so we're really going to be training hard. Try to make practices as often as you can."
All three of them nodded and took the forms before leaving the building.
"Lunch?" Daichi asked hopefully.
Amaya laughed at her friend and nodded agreeably. "Lunch."
A/N: Next chapter, classes and maybe the time jump to June. ^_~

Greeks Never dined out, but enjoyed the social aspects of eating, so they at together. Private clubs – Lesche (LES-kee) Catered to travelers- Phatnai (FAAT-nay) People brought their own food, such as grapes, olives, bread from barley dried fish, cheese & wine to clubs. Meals nourished the souls as well as the body. Ate reclined on couches, enjoyed music, poetry & dancing during the meal. Epicurus lead the idea that the purpose of life was pleasure and it was achieved through restraint and balance. An Epicurean is now referred to a person with a refined taste for food & wine.
Romans Dining in public was undignified, so most meals were served in the home. Desire for exotic foods & spices expanded the Roman Empire. With power came increased wealth, which they lavishly spent on banquets for friends, clients and others. Marcus Apicius took great effort to obtain the most exotic foods for his feasts. He wrote one of the earliest cookbooks called De Re Coquinaria. Recipes are still used today.
The Middle Ages (500-1300) Ancient Nordic Myths included the belief that trees and rivers were sacred and couldnt be tampered with. Christianity changed this and trees were removed and water diverted for agricultural purposes. Feudalism: you work for someone, get proceeds and protection from the land owner. Serfs worked in the fields. The lived on wheat bread, peas that were dried, turnips & onions stored all winter, fermented cabbage and some pork products. Land owners held large banquets almost every night. The purpose was to eat. People ate with fingers and knives. No plates, trenchers (stale bread) were used and eaten at the end of the meal or thrown to the dogs.
The Renaissance 1400-1700 Herbs & spices were introduced to flavor food. Use of spices showed off wealth. Merchants in Venice had a monopoly on the spice trade. European explorers went looking for spice routes. America was discovered. Haute Cuisine was created. A highly skilled system of food preparation. A higher style of eating started in Italy (Catherine de Medici) and moved to (married King Henry II) France. Forks, Ice Cream, etc… People carried their own silverware when they dined out. Coffee from Africa. The first coffee house opened in Oxford England in 1650. Women were welcome. Guilds – associations of people with similar interests were organized. Chaine de Rotissieres and Chaine de Traiteurs (catering). 1765 Boulanger – served hot soup in a café he called restorante. By 1800 – 500 restaurants were open in Paris.
Colonial North America (1600- 1700) 1634 an inn in Boston called Coles offered food and lodging to travelers. Very few people dined out, if they traveled, they stayed in inns, shared rooms and if they arrived after dinner, they went without. Coaching inns – on stagecoach routes.
Industrial Revolution Factories began to be built. Families moved from the country to the city to work. People went home for meals. Transportation improved to help people get around cities and from city to city. As cities became business hubs, dining and lodging establishments began to open up. Railroad – 1825 – facilities near stations began to open up. Cooks designed horse-drawn kitchens on wheels and drove them to factory entrances to sell food. Soon there were so many that cities forced diner carts off the streets by certain times. They found permanent locations – these are the diners of today.
The Gilded Age Workers were subjected to long hours and low wages, while the profits for the owners continued to rise. When high society dined out, they did so in style. Delmonicos and Astor House opened – elegant, up to 18 courses. The cafeteria was developed to serve food quickly and cheaply without servers. The chef uniform was developed buy Careme.

j_smooth's was kinda funny. and seizuredogs was pretty neat. nice work over all tho...some good skilz.
Thanks psycho87 The whole crew from Group B thanks you.
not as good as group A
Uhm the only movies wich were worth my time. were those from Hatterclock J_sMoOtH and SeizureDog . while all movies in group A kicked ass. And for dark draco: 1 Get some sound. 2 if a bullet enter in ur wraist dont make in impact in the chest...
Im Going to Review them by Each Author
First, HatterClock: Overall (9) I liked it, looked the fbf drawings of the spoons was really cool
J_sMoOtH : Overall (8) It started off Noob like, no offence. But the storyline, it cracked me up. The ending and the twist !!!! i couldnt stop laughing.
Freak_sk8er Overall (3) To short, drawing... YUK! It doesnt fit betraying i think.... it sucked
SeizureDog Overall (10) It rocked, the music and the animation fitted together sooo well!!! it was amazing. Loved the Style and fastpaced action!!!
Last Dark_Darko Overall (3) I turned my Speakers WAY!!! !UP!!! , but heard nothing. Some sound could added in 72Hours. It was bad sad to say. Disappointing...
most of them were real good.
So,i'll review this for each movie in here.
HatterClock:I say this was the best out of all of these other movies,but forks,knifes,and spoons that has blood?hmmm...
J_sMoOtH:Didn't like yours that much,but still ok.it needed some of that music in there.
Freek_Sk8er:I think that was kinda ok,but you should of made it longer.
SeizureDog:It needs some color into it,like the others.
Dark_Drako:kinda short,needs some sound and music on it.
Overall,I still think all these are real good.

Fanselow, Dan L. ;   et al. | September 16, 2004 |
A liquid-liquid extraction system including an outer chamber and an inner chamber. The outer chamber is adapted to contain one of a feed solution and a liquid extractant and defines a containment region. The inner chamber is adapted to contain the other of the feed solution and the liquid extractant within a lower portion of the inner chamber. The inner chamber is defined by a microporous membrane sleeve that internally maintains a frame. Upon final assembly, at least the lower portion of the inner chamber is positioned within the containment region of the outer chamber such that the microporous membrane sleeve establishes an extraction interface between contents of the inner and outer chambers. In one embodiment, the flow region of the microporous membrane sleeve is immersed within a feed solution otherwise contained within the outer chamber.

8,000-year-old handprints in Stone Age Cave have puzzled researchers for a while. It was proved that these are definitely not of human origin.
This cave was discovered in 2002 and includes a total of 5000 images painted or engraved into the stone over 8,000 years ago.
Researchers first believed that the anomalous 'prints' engraved in the stone belonged to the hands and feet of baby children, but a new researcher has shown otherwise, suggesting that the traces left in the cave did not belong to humans but… lizards.
To understand who or what left those prints behind, anthropologist Emmanuelle Honoré compared measurements taken from the hand outlines found in the Cave of the Beasts with those taken from the hand of newborn children, including the measurements from newborn premature babies. The results were clear, the depictions left behind in the Cave did not belong to humans and Honoré concluded that there is an 'extremely low probability' that the hands in the Cave of the Beasts were human.
The Anthropologist believes the mysterious marks might have been created by hunters who used the forelegs of desert monitor lizards or even crocodiles to make these marks.
But no one can come up with an explanation as to why people 8,000 years ago would use lizards or even crocodiles to leave such marks behind.
This explanation makes no sense according to many other researchers who look for alternative explanations.

Literacy Commentary History Philosophy Liturgy KaraiteLibrary
Education Anti-Missionary Modern Commentary
Torah & Spirit Family Life Tahorah and Tum'ah
It is called the day of the first fruits because on this day there takes place the offering of the two loaves of showbread made of the first ears of new wheat, "..you shall present a new meal offering to YHWH" (Wayyiqra' 23.16). It consists of two cakes of leavened bread made of white-flour dough and weighing two tenths of an ephah, which is baked and then brought to the sanctuary, "From your swellings you shall bring the bread of the waving of the sheaf" (Wayyiqra' 23.17). With it there are to be offered seven lambs, a bull, and two rams, forming the burnt offering; the meal offering and the drink offering belonging to it are to be ordered according to the rules set forth in the section, "When you have come into the land... and will make an offering by fire to YHWH, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice" (Bemidbar 15.2-3), and what follows thereafter. The same is true of all the other references to meal offerings and drink offerings which are not specified in detail - they are meant to conform to the rules explained in that section. This burnt offering is followed by a kid of goats as a sin offering, augmented by two lambs for a peace offering, to be eaten by the priest and his family. It is also called the feast of the harvest, because at that time wheat reaches the state of being ready for harvest and the people begin to do the harvesting. That is why the offering brought consists of two loaves of bread made of the first ears of this new wheat, "...the feast of the harvest, the first fruits of your labors which you have sown in the field" (Shemot 23.16).
Private peace offerings are not permitted on the days when work is forbidden. Therefore, the peace offerings mentioned on that day must be public offerings, which belong to the priest, as stated above. Now, public peace offerings are not allowed on Shabbat - a matter agreed upon by all Jewry. This is another proof that Shavu`ot could not possibly fall on Shabbat. Were the count of fifty days - of which Shavu`ot is the last - permitted to begin on the second day of Pesach, whatever day of the week it might happen to be, as the dissenters assert, Shavu`ot would accordingly fall on varying days of the week, sometimes on Shabbat, sometimes on other days. It follows, therefore, that it must fall always on the same weekday, Sunday, and never otherwise.

Essays En Route A wild ride on the madcap streets of Guatemala City. A twilight walk through old Havana with a Cuban mailman. A canoe trip along the Florida coast in search of a missing grave. An impromptu communion with one of the twentieth century's forgotten heroes. These are some of the adventures Stephen Benz describes in this witty, insightful, and evocative collection of travel essays.
Benz, the author of Guatemalan Journey and Green Dreams, takes readers to remote and exotic locales, introducing unusual characters and recounting little known historical anecdotes. Along the way, he reflects on the meaning of the atom bomb, describes the hardships of daily life in the former Soviet Union, and tracks down the ghosts of the infamous Donner Party.
Originally published in newspapers and magazines such as the Miami Herald and the Washington Post, these essays eloquently inform and entertain both the armchair traveler and the general interest reader.

Gun Dog Breeder Reviews for Steady On Point KennelsTestimonials (20) | Back to Steady On Point KennelsSubmitted by: Ned LeMaster on Apr 16, 2012 I've seen Alan work wonders with hunting dogs of all breeds and temperaments over the years. The one that impressed me the most, was my own gun shy GSP. Alan was able to correct my novice mistake and turn the shorthair into a bird crazy machine. Alan and Sue also breed a premium line of Brittanys. I've had the pleasure of raising a pup from one of their litters over the past three years. The hunt drive and trainability that this dog possesses are unrivaled in my opinion. The Ott's are responsible breeders and go the extra mile from OFA certifying, to finding the right home for the right dog. As an educator, Alan Ott is top shelf. The training seminars that Steady on Point put on are first class. I've participated in several, and taken away something new each time. You get a lot of one on one attention at these seminars, and also learn from the other handlers and their dogs. If youre looking to have your bird dog trained, buy a Brittany puppy, or attend a training seminar you cant go wrong with Alan Ott. Just be prepared to make a lifelong friend, who is passionate about dogs. Submitted by: Bob Stoltzfus on Mar 11, 2012 Just a note to let you know how we appreciatedyour training. Scout (GSP) has been a real thrill to hunt with this season. He has been obedient in the field, steady on point and has retrieved about every bird we shot over him. Thanks again for what you did for us, we may have another for you in 2012. Paradise Kennels Mattoon, Il. Submitted by: Doug and Sue Beaupre on Mar 11, 2012 We have 2- 18 month old Brittanys from Alan and Sue Ott. Their dad is Diesel. Tinker is a liver and white and Belle is an Orange and white. Color on the Ott's dogs doesn't mean anything. They both have hunted with our older Brittanys, their dad Diesel and many of our friends, co-workers etc.They have natural retrieve and they were easy to train, they didn't need much work at all. The hunting ability is in them and all we had to do was to turn the switch on! All the people we have hunted and guided with were very impressed and could not believe they were so young.We will ALWAYS get a puppy from Alan and Sue Ott. They are always willing to help us if we need it. They're the BEST!!!Submitted by: Ryan Nikolich on Mar 02, 2012 Steady on point is a perfect name for Alan, his kennels & his approach to understanding your dog. I have experienced two other hunting dog training locations over the course of my hunting career, although drive is something you can't teach Alan sure knows how to bring it out in the dog. His work can be seen on my beautiful Vizsla Kansas who many friends envy and have often said is one of the best dogs they've ever hunted behind. Thanks Alan! Keep up the great work.Ryan Nikolich Submitted by: Jason Turner on Feb 17, 2012 I took my Drahthaar to Alan for training a couple of months ago and couldn't be happier with her progress. While I'm very impressed with her performance, I've been even more impressed with the way Alan interacts with her and the other dogs. I would recommend Alan and Steady on Point to anyone looking for a trainer. It's a great feeling to have your dog being trained by someone you trust.Submitted by: Rob Mottarcr on Feb 15, 2012 I was looking for a breeder that cared about the home their puppies were going to. Alan is very passionate about all the dogs he come in contact with. Since I knew very little about training a bird hunting dog , I attended a couple of Alan's seminars. His methods are great. He is all about positive reinforcement. Nia, my 2 year old Brittany, has the genes of premium pointing dog and Alan taught me how to bring out the best in her. Alan also hooked me up with a bird hunting club that Nia and I have enjoyed every day we have been out in the field. Nia has more than exceeded my expectation as a bird dog, hunting partner, and friend. I am so glad I chose Alan.Submitted by: Gene Schiesser on Feb 09, 2012 Though we did not get our Brittney from Alan, he did train her. He has a fantasic breeding and training facility and we could have been more pleased with the results. When we get our next Brittney, we will buy from Alan at Steady On Point!Gene Schiesser Submitted by: Louis on Feb 08, 2012 My experience with Alan Ott and Steady on Point Kennels was very positive. His training methods are gentle, fast, and effective. My GSP's skills were sharpened and reinforced by Alan in a short three week training period. I can proudly claim a dog that is consistently steady on point, flush and shot.The kennels are well designed and kept clean for all the dogs. This facility and staff has attention to detail and an overall great place to bring your gun dog for training. I would HIGHLY recommend Steady on Point and Mr. Alan Ott without reservation.Submitted by: Barbara Davies on Feb 08, 2012 I adopted a pointer from a rescue and wanted to see if he had any hunt abilities. He is a typical high-strung pointer with some personality quirks as well, so I knew I'd have to find the right trainer. After interviewing several trainers, I felt Alan would be the best fit for him - I made a great choice ! Within a few weeks Alan had him working confidently in the field, and his interest in birds increased day by day. He now points and loves working in the field. I'm looking forward to a possible try at AKC Hunt Tests and definitely more training this summer. Submitted by: Larry McKay on Feb 08, 2012 I did not buy my dog from Steady on Points Kennels but based on his training of my new puppy at the time I will look into in the future. He not only trained my dog he also trained me as owner of dog. I have gone to his follow up training and will do so in future. They make you feel at home and treat you as people too.Submitted by: Larry O'Connor on Feb 07, 2012 I feel as comfortable, leaving Erin, my Brittney, with Alan Ott, as I would dropping off one of my children at their grandparents. I know that Erin will be well taken care of in clean environment. In addition any training I request is performed in a first class caring manner.Steady On Point Kennels is Erin's home away from home. Submitted by: Steve Ries on Feb 07, 2012 As Field Specialist with Native performance dog food, we have the opportunity to travel North America to work with kennels that breed and train hunting and other performance animals. Alan and Sue are at the top of our list for quality trustworthy individuals that provide a service to thier clients, sport and community. We would certainly endourse thier efforts to meet the publics needs in reaching their goals with hunting companions. Steve Ries Native Performance Dog Food Submitted by: Doug DesLauriers on Feb 07, 2012 When we were looking for a companion hunting dog that would fit well in our busy household, including two young boys, Alan suggested one of his own females. I was a little leery bringing a 2 year old dog into our home but based on his recommendation and description of her demeanor we decided to bring P'nut home. Words cannot describe how much all of us have grown to love her and how well she has adapted to our chaotic family. She really is a special dog, her manners both in the field and in the home are a testament to Alan's passion for dogs and their training.Submitted by: Jon Elsea on Feb 07, 2012 We purchased our Brittany, Lady, from Steady on Point Kennels seven years ago and couldn't be more pleased. Alan Ott is a caring professional whose operation is top-notch in every respect. Whether you are looking for a started pup or want access to proven, successful training methods, Alan deserves your consideration. He uses a sensitive, consistent, logical approach in preparing hunting dogs to meet the needs of his clients. We don't call him the "Dog Father" for nothing! Try Steady on Point - you'll be well satisfied!Submitted by: Don King on Feb 07, 2012 I've been associated with Steady On Point for about 3 years. Though I didn't purchase my dog from Alan, I've used him as a trainer with great success. His training methods are firm and consistant, his willingness to work one on one with owner and dog is extremely helpful, (especially for someone with not much training experience). Alan seems to know what the dog is thinking so you can ready yourself to make a correction before the dog makes (his/her) mistake.If you're looking for an excellent training experience Steady On Point is the place to go. Submitted by: Steve Lambright on Feb 07, 2012 Alan Ott and his crew at Steady On Point Kennels have been fantastic. We adopted a one year old Brittany from a local rescue, primarily for a family pet. After leaving him with Alan for 2 weeks, what a transformation. He got his confidence back and has become a very good companion, both at home and in the field. We have also attended Alan's training seminars and I look forward to working with Steady On Point again in the near future.Submitted by: Jason Randall on Feb 07, 2012 Alan Ott has been breeding and training excellent hunting dogs for many years. He is honest and reputable and has produced many fine dogs, both for the field and as family companions.Submitted by: Rob Sheffer on Feb 07, 2012 I cant say enough about Alan Ott and Steady on point Kennels. Mr Ott is a true professional in every respect of the word. He breeds first class Brittany's and is an acomplished trainer. I have owned many Brittany's in the past,but have never had such a great experience with a breeder,and I believe that I have the best puppy I have ever owned.I have worked with Alan on making her the best she can be.His experience and wisdom when it come to training is second to none.He calls it"his passion" and it shows.Anytime I have had a question about training or anything else,he responds very quickly,with great advice.I am looking forward to enjoying the best bird dog I have ever owned,Thanks to Alan Ott.A first rate breeder,and trainer.If your in the market for a Brittany puppy,or having issues training your's,I highly recommend you get in touch with Steady on Point Kennels.You wont find any better!Submitted by: Gil Nero on Feb 06, 2012 Before bringing my 2 year old female brittany to Alan at Steady On Point Kennels I investigated several other local trainers. In less than one week Alan did more with my high energy, excitable Brittany than I was able to do in the previous 22 months. Kelsey is my third Brittany. I leave her at Alan's for at least one week per year while I'm vacationing. Still, five years later, if I roll the car's window down within 5-8 miles of Alan's kennel she goes ballistic because she knows where she is going and is excited to get back there again! In my opinion Alan's training ability and patience is second to none and his facility is first class.Submitted by: Adam Bissias on Feb 06, 2012 Alan is the best!! I took him my 1 year old German Shorthair. My dog was never on birds before Alan and in just a fee short weeks i have a great hunting dog. He is great with dogs and gets the right response from them. When it is time for another dog i will go through him again!!>> Submit your testimonial | Back to Steady On Point Kennels |

Staying focused with a revised job description
One of the most helpful things we have done this year was revising our job description. We eliminated a number of things that we were not doing or did not need to be doing and highlighted a couple of key areas important to us. We feel like we now have received permission and blessing to operate in our areas of strength.
My revised job description does tell me what I do not need to be doing. However, Michael Hyatt's post on making "Not to Do Lists" may be an additional tool necessary for me to stay focused.
August 25, 2011 at 11:56 am
I really like this idea! I find that so many of my colleagues are maxed out… they need a way to narrow down what they do. I also need to do this now and then – take a look at what I am doing and see if any can be/should be dropped. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this idea.
August 25, 2011 at 1:06 pm
Hyatt's blog is a great resource for me. What helped us in revising our job description is that we all did it together–well, that was the idea anyway. Helps us to avoid overlap in roles in our leadership team.

It doesn't appear to be 'an attack' folks… peeps most people have watched waaaaaay too many movies, and thus, they initially fear, what is not to be feared… also people fear what they do not know…. sooooo what's the solution? How about get to know what is going on, so that you can know the true purpose of these sightings… there is a range of emotion attached to these sightings, that is unwarranted. Even if this is project bluebeam, that is just a pretend last ditch attempt to frighten the world… galactic sources say project bluebeam is not going to happen. So appears to be no attack… probably next level disclosure, is to attach these sightings as a world phenomenon, not just events that are not related

Elisse, nagselos kay Yassi!

BALIK-DIREKTOR si Direk Maryo J. de los Reyes via the movie The Unmarried Wife starring Dingdong Dantes, Paulo Avelino at Angelica Panganiban.
Direk Maryo's last project with Star Cinema was I'll Be There starring the father and daughter team nina Gabby at KC Concepcion. He cannot remember exactly when the said film was released.
"Basta that was, I remember, the first and last na nagkasama sina Gabby at KC sa isang showbiz project," pahayag pa ni Direk Maryo.
For ABS-CBN, ang series na Calla Lily naman ang last na idinirek ni Maryo.
He currently directs Someone To Watch Over Me for GMA-7.
* * *
Speaking of The Unmarried Wife, it's not, of course, the first time na makakatambal ni Angelica si Dingdong. They were together as husband and wife in One More Try, co-starring them with Angel Locsin at Zanjoe Marudo.
The film marks Angelica's first team-up, though, with Paulo Avelino.
By the way, when Angelica guested sa game program na Family Feud last Sunday, sa tanong ng host na si Luis Manzano kung ano ang cause ng madalas na paghihiwalay ng magkasintahan, ang mabilis niyang sagot: "third party."
The Third Party happens to be the title of the movie, still currently showing in theaters nationwide, topbilled by Zanjoe Marudo, Sam Milby and Angel Locsin.
No need to tell you who Angel is sa buhay ni Luis, at one time. At lalong ibulong na lamang natin sa hangin na third party ang dahilan kung bakit diumano sila nag-breakup.
Come to think of it, 'di pa nga pala hanggang ngayon ibinubunyag ni Angelica kung bakit naman sila nag-break ni John Lloyd Cruz.
* * *
Nagselos pala si Elisse Joson kay Yassi Pressman dahil sa magandang pakikitungong ginawa ng ngayo'y natsitsismis na masugid niyang manliligaw na si McCoy de Leon, kilalang member ng popular dance group na Hashtags, sa huli, when all three of them were together sa Bahay Ni Kuya as part of the team which made up the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) in Vietnam.
Right now, of course, magkakasama silang tatlong muli sa high-rating series ng ABS-CBN, FPJ's Ang Probinsiyano, pinagbibidahan ni Coco Martin.
As expected, magka-love tandem sa series sina Elisse at McCoy, samantalang magkapatid naman sina McCoy at Yassi.
Yassi plays a tv news reporter na laging bumubun-tot-buntot kay Coco bilang si SPO Cardo Dalisay, tuwing may misyon ito.
Of Coco, today November 1 is his birthday.
Happy natal day, Coco. And God bless.

Comments about Line 6 Relay G70 Digital Wireless Guitar System:
I had the G50 and experienced dropouts on larger stages, and apparently anywhere there was competing wifi in the vicinity. I replaced it with the G70 hoping the next gen tech would fix that issue. No luck. Even in my home (where there is just a single wifi router more than 25 feet away), and even scanning for open channels, the unit spontaneously dropped signal for as long as a second. This may be OK for the casual player, but I can't use this in my professional gig and risk drop outs.
I'm a fan of Line 6 technology (I own two PODs and have had numerous Flextone amps). But they're just missing the boat on this one IMHO. I'll try the Shure GLX.
The tone, I must say, is amazing.

Comments about Line 6 Relay G70 Digital Wireless Guitar System:
I have gigged heavily with the G50 for two years and that little guy is still alive and kicking! When I heard Line 6 was releasing the G70 I had no idea how they were going to make improvements to such a killer unit. Well they did it! The G70 works wonders! The transmitter has a genius design! Good luck trying to pop the batteries out on this guy or changing any settings it's practically bomb proof!
I can't say enough wonderful things about the receiver either. They really listened to musicians and created something that has your back. You're able to program "scenes" within each channel which allows you to add gain with a quick toggle press, it's also equipped with a tuner and has a DI built into it. These features free up so much space on my pedal board! When I set up boards i'm usually very careful about placing the receiver in a spot that will still grant access to the start of the chain allowing the musician to quickly plug in a cable for emergencies. Worry no more! As the receiver now includes an aux jack just in case you run into any trouble during a gig (which probably won't be used but it's nice to have piece of mind)! I'm very satisfied with the quality of this wireless unit and highly recommend it to musicians of every skill level that feel like having wireless freedom while maintaining great tone.

Comments about Line 6 Relay G70 Digital Wireless Guitar System:
I am also experiencing the same drop outs described above. During the last gig I used this thing I lost count of how many drop outs occurred and how many times I ran and re-ran the scan - even between songs during the set. This is completely unacceptable when it happens during a gig and worse while playing a lead guitar solo...thanks line 6! The last time I had it plugged in it even started randomly broadcasting spurts of white noise into the signal. I think that was the unit telling me in a digital language that it needs to be returned for a refund.
Does the "line 6 g70" stand for a minimum of "6" drop outs during a "70" minute set?? This product should be renamed from g70 to "FAIL"
Initially I was trying to decide between this and the Shure GLXD16. I was lured by all the bells and whistles the line 6 has. But dropouts while playing a gig makes it a horrible choice. What's interesting is line 6 admitted the product is bugged for dropouts in a post on their forum in a thread about this very issue:
"We found a bug that we are currently fixing. As soon as this is tested we will release a firmware update. I am sorry for the inconvenience- we will publish the update as soon as possible."
To anyone reading this thread and considering buying this wireless unit: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Get a Shure GLXD16 or an Audio Technica System 10 Stompbox instead if you want a digital wireless. Not only will you save money, but also a lot of aggravation. Not to mention having to return a product that doesn't do the primary function – provide a reliable wireless connection.

Comments about Line 6 Relay G70 Digital Wireless Guitar System:
I've been using the G70 for about a year with nothing but great results. I don't have dropout, I love that it senses when its not being used and goes to sleep, and it has excellent sound quality. I play at a church with a large auditorium and we have control over our wifi situation so I never get interference or dropouts. The complaints I've heard are from people who travel with their band or have a lot of competing routers and wifi congestion...guess I lucked out!

The acquisition includes Lyman's location in Chanhassen, Minn., and its various subsidiaries, including Automated Building Components, Carpentry Contractors Corp., and Lyman Lumber of Wisconsin. The company will become part of US LBM.
The Excelsior, Minn.-based Lyman Lumber's, parent company, Lyman Holding Co., filed for bankruptcy on Aug. 4. Lyman Holdings originally planned to sell its Midwest operations to SP Asset Management LLC., an affiliate of New York City-based global diversified holding company Steel Partners Holdings L.P.
BlackEagle was identified as the winning bidder for Lyman Lumber on Oct. 13, however, just over a week after Lyman Holdings auctioned off its assets. Court records reveal that a purchase price of $22.5 million, minus certain liabilities and adjustments, was set.
As with all the companies in the US LBM portfolio, Lyman Lumber, ranked No. 21 on the latest ProSales 100 listing, will continue to operate under its current name with the same locations and workforce. Lyman's vice president of operations, Dale Carlson, will remain with the company as president.
The dealer serves the Minneapolis-St. Paul market as well as the Eau Claire market in Wisconsin. US LBM, ranked No. 14 on the ProSales 100, is a holding company that currently owns eight building material dealers serving the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
"With over 114 years of commitment to the building products industry, Lyman has established a terrific reputation," said LT Gibson, CEO of US LBM. "All of our business unites will benefit through the acquisition and we are excited to welcome Lyman's employees to our team."
Court records also show that, at the time of its bankruptcy filing, Lyman Holdings had accumulated debt of $50 million. The company posted a deficit of $45.2 million at the end of 2010. Lyman Lumber, meanwhile, posted a net loss of $51.7 million at the time of the filing. Of the subsidiaries, both Lyman Lumber of Wisconsin and Building Materials Wholesalers managed to retain earnings and did not accumulate a loss. The companies did not disclose the details of the transaction.
As for its ProSales 100 ranking, the dealer reported professional sales of $146.2 million for 2010 with nine locations and 633 employees.
"The acquisition of Lyman furthers our commitment to US LBM as a platform in the building supply industry and represents a perfect example of BlackEagle's strategy of increasing value through acquisition," said BlackEagle vice president Bryan Tolles.
BlackEagle Partners focuses on investing in underperforming and distressed businesses, in a wide range of industries, that need help operationally. The company also works with non-core subsidiaries of larger businesses, as well as companies in weaker markets.
