HOW IS THIS CHAPTER 7K??? It honestly feels like so much less and was such an easy, breezy read. I think its because Emma is so likable and the promise of the hot lead singer kind of pulls you forward like, come on, you know she's going to see him again, but when? ugh, Amy still makes me so mad ughhh, I wonder exactly what she did this time to make it so that she had to leave and take everything with her? And James. James sounds... hot. Like, just as hot as JGS. Good work girl! Also, for the record, I imagined the drummer as the drummer from Flower Boy Band and if you could include him more that would be lovely could you also do an insert of me and then he and i get married and do all of the things that are wonderful and not to be detailed in this review? ANYWAY. You know how much i love this idea. I can't wait until we meet Albus. I hope he has the same lovely hair as KJW, but I know you'll put your own great spin on his character, just like you've done with everything else. LOVELY DARLING, JUST WHAT I ANTICIPATED! MOAR.Author's Response: I KNOW RIGHT, ANNIE? I DON'T EVEN. IT JUST SORT OF WENT AND BECAME 7K BY ITSELF. He. You silly girl. ♥ James is smirking. SMIRKING and this is only the first chapter. HOW MUCH MORE SMIRKING CAN WE HANDLE? Apparently, a lot, because I love the fact that he's infuriatingly hot and just annoying and lazy and all those things. :) But you already know this ~* hehe. AMY. GOD. We're going to get more of her. Obviously, she can't leave her little sis in piece. Drama everywhere ~*~* which is good for reading but not good for poor Emma. Why do I always put my OCs through the grinder? ;) JGS. JGS. JGS. OMG. I CAN'T EVEN. WHERE?? You fooled me. I thought you were pointing to him or something and I just...need him in my life. LOLOL. I don't make sense but I'm hungry so it makes sense ? HAHAHA. DUDE. I IMAGINED THE DRUMMER FROM FLOWER BOY BAND, TOOO. THINGS WLL HAPPEN ~* ! fanservice for annie ~* ;) HAHA Thank you so much, Annie! THIS REVIEW HAS MADE ME REALLY EXCITED TO KEEP WRITING THIS STORY. WHE. Hot Albus & Hot James & Hot Xavier and bad sister + two ridiculously silly friends = dramadramadramaconflict!humor You are a superstaaar. I LOFF YOUU. ♥ ♥ ♥ Report Review
I love how Clemence always seems to open the chapter with... almost an editorial? It seems very fitting for a newspaper chick and i love that. It really fits the story I think. "New developments in Hogwarts are hardly ever good, and if they are, they turn bad very quickly." You have never said a truer sentence my dear. HOMICIDAL PIRATE GINA WHAT EVEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE. OTL THERE IS EVEN AN EXPLANATION FOR IT SO YOU'RE NOT JUST LIKE 'HELLO HOMICIDAL PIRATE ON THE LINE PLEASE HOLD' I CAN'T "Remember: quirky today, quirky for life!" -fullbodyshudder- OMG man-shaped food.

So. I've been meaning to come by and review something of yours for ages because all of my friends can't stop talking about your writing, and now I am going to embarrass myself by having a bought of capslock UGH THIS IS SO THE REALITY I WANTED I JUST UGHHH I LOVE WELL-WRITTEN REMUS/SIRIUS AND AN ACTUAL LOVELY AU AND THIS IS JUST ALL OF THE GOOD THINGS Ahem, now that that is over, haha. It's really good to see an AU that I can really get behind here on the archives. It's a really underused genre and there is so much that could be done with it, it makes me sad that more people don't give it a try (of course, this could just make more opportunities for badfic, but you never know), I think my favorite part was the opening. I learned so much about their relationship in only a few lines, about both Remus and Sirius' characters, and it was a great way to draw me in. "Don't," he says, shrugging away from arms that have always held him together but are now threatening to tear him apart. this blew me away. I got such a visual and a feel for the whole scene just from that one little idea. This argument was very real feeling actually, because it wasn't really even an argument, just two people reacting to very deep betrayals of trust (one false, but it certainly felt real at the time), and their reactions really grabbed my heart, because I think I would have done the same in their place. My other favorite part was, of course, the end. The picture of the three of them, Remus, Sirius and baby Harry, all together in a too-small bed, with Remus crying and Sirius kissing his fingers -- it's all so raw feeling, and I was really struck, in the same way that Remus was, about how young they all were when this happened. They were just about my age, and that really brought this home for me and drew it all together. Definitely enjoyed this! Annie Report Review
omg my heart is just so full right now. This is honestly one of the cutest things I have read in my whole time in fanfiction, and definitely one of the best representations of the Weasley family that I've come across. I was actually sent here by Melissa (witnesstoitall) who was gushing about this, and I have to say that all her praise was definitely warranted. I think watching the older two try and keep the younger kids in line was my favorite part, possibly because I'm the youngest in my family. Really, this was great and cute and well-written to boot! Totally brightened up my day! AnnieAuthor's Response: Hello Annie! I'm Arielle! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! I'm so glad you liked it! I have to tell you I'm a fan of Help Wanted so this is so cool! I kind of based the Weasley's off my own family, like my little sister is the exact copy of little Ginny. Again thank you! Report Review
Ginny is often treated like a two dimensional character, and I'm impressed that you chose to use this to flesh her out a bit. She lost a lot in the war, and nearly lost more, and I thought her reactions and feelings were very well done. I especially thought that her need to get home, to see Harry, was fitting, because it hasn't been that long and she has seen him lying dead on the floor before. That's enough to make anyone paranoid. There was some really good description, I especially thought the opening was well done. Good job! AnnieAuthor's Response: I have noticed that Ginny never seems to have much to her character, and I think that's why I choose her for this. I felt that her emotions could be fairly well done with her, and I knew it had to go with her character. I am very glad you enjoyed how her character was written. And Harry's line...that was just the slight hint of a lighter topic that seemed almost required in this. And the opening was just...that part flowed so easily and a part of me that was upset was definately left in that piece. I'm really glad you read, reviewed and enjoyed this! ~Grimmerz Report Review
Going all the way back to the beginning with the Black sisters is such a bold thing to do. I know tonnes of writers that have written them as teenagers and young adults, but it is really rare to see them as children. I thought you really captured their personalities (as far as they have been formed to this point anyway) well! Bella's fearlessness, Andromeda's kindness and willingness to break the rules, and Narcissa's tendency to be a follower -- they all come across quite nicely in this little scene. Even more, I love that you wrote them as children because it made me start thinking about how their relationships must have changed as they got older and wonder if things maybe were different after the end of the war? Anyway, I really love the angle you're coming from with this and it'll be interesting to see where it goes! AnnieAuthor's Response: I confess that I was nervous about writing them as children, but I thought it was necessary for the story to go where I wanted it to... so I tried it out! I wanted to reflect a bit who they would grow up to be, but still show that they were children. I firmly believe that even Bellatrix wasn't evil as a child. :P The idea of their relationships and how it changed over the years was partially what inspired this, and this is my attempt to begin to scratch the surface of a rather complicated family. Thank you very much for the review! :) Report Review
GINA YOU DISCO-ING JELLYFISH. I remember all the flailing that went into this chapter and I have to say that now that I see it as a whole, it was totally worth it. The breakfast scene totally cracked me up -- Bea crawling under the table to give Fred a hug LOL. I also thought there was lots of really good ~character development~ which I know you are afeared of. DON'T BE. DAS ESS GUT. I did miss Scorpius in this chapter though, and Anjali and her sexy legs. Franjali MUST PREVAIL -runs off to make shipping banner and paints face with war paint- Bea cleared her throat so loudly that nearby Ravenclaws turned, wondering whether a Norwegian Ridgeback had somehow made its way to their common room. What was that? Oh, it's just Bea, the resident Ravenclaw dragon. NBD. Rose Weasley will not be used like a tissue! Rose using third person had me pissing. She is such a . Prefect Little did they know, their words had done their deed and the saccharine sympathy Bea once would have gladly welcomed now tasted as bitter as cough syrup. There is nothing worse than ruining Bea's enjoyment of sugar. Monsters. I DEMAND MORE SCORP GIVE IT TO ME I DEMAND ITTT. AnnirAuthor's Response: ANNIR YOU GIFFING MADWOMAN. DAS GUT? You know, I don't think it was ever the character development itself that scared me, but the entirely long-winded approach I take to it. Because I let my characters flail around so much and have SUDDEN PARAGRAPHS OF INTROSPECTION flanked by crack and waffles. Yep. Bea makes /entrances/. STOP BEING SUCH A HERMIONE, ROSE, especially because you lack the awesome. I love that the optimism in this fic is judged by its level of desserts. It is strangely appropriate. I KNOW, SUCH A VOID OF THE VELVET BLAZER. Sadness. ♥ Report Review
So this was possibly the most adorably wonderful thing I've read in a while. I don't really even know exactly how to articulate how much I enjoyed it. The idea actually makes perfect sense! A place as magical as Hogwarts, teaming with teenage hormones, there could very well be Cupids flying around! I think my favorite bits were when Cariad tried to get Hermione to have a crush on Harry (I laughed at that a lot) and the Lavender part (poor poor LavLav, it wasn't even her fault in the end). You did a great job of following this through the books and keeping me interested with the little details even though I already knew the story. Great job with a really cute and inventive idea! AnnieAuthor's Response: Aw - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm very proud of this little story, it seemed to work out really well. Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, it means a lot to me to know that people are enjoying reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Report Review
This kind of missing moment is one of my favorite types of stories. There is so much space left over from canon that it seems a shame not to explore it. I will honestly say that in my time reading fanfic (and it's been... a long time, we'll just say), I have avoided songfics like the plague. The way the song is used is always too cheesy and usually breaks up the writing's flow and I just find it distracting. That being said, I really enjoyed you're concept for this, especially the ending, where Mulciber, a Slytherin, somehow had enough nobility to want to save his girlfriend from his own bad choices. It was a really good angle to come from. My only criticism would be about the formatting, which I can sympathize with because formatting on here can sometimes be really annoying. The spacing made it a bit of a chore to read, and I'm not sure if you meant for only the first line of each section of the song to be italicized, but I think if the whole of the song lyrics were in italics, it would be a little less confusing. It was interesting to read about a scene I had never contemplated before. Thank you! AnnieAuthor's Response: Hi! I'm glad this story worked out for you. I'm a big fan of missing moments too. :D It's good to here that you enjoyed it, especially coming from a great writer like you. :D Oh, the formatting... an edited version has been submitted to the queue, so hopefully there won't be any formatting problems then. ~Khanh Report Review
I think I can speak for most of us when I say that I have definitely had days where I felt the way Eloise feels. As someone who went through an awful awkward phase when I was around 11 or 12 (or 13 or 14 haha), I remember thinking a lot like her. I feel like you depicted her Hollywood-ized version of beauty very well. At the time, Eloise had wondered how such a cruel thing could come out of such a beautiful mouth. Her mind had been grappling for an explanation in her bewilderment. But as Eloise had soon learnt, you could get away with anything when you were beautiful. Making cruel remarks as your forte meant being popular. This, in particular, struck a chord with me. Why is it that such beautiful people can say such awful things? I remember the first time a male barrista gave me free coffee, sometime in late high school, and my friend had elbowed me and said I looked really pretty that day. Well, I thought, free coffee for being pretty? When you look at it that way, sometimes the price of obsession seems kind of worth it. Sorry to ramble. This just got me thinking a lot -- the mark of a good start, I think. The fact that you've made me empathize with Eloise this deeply so far is a really great start! I'm interested to meet Justin and see what he thinks of Eloise, and vice versa! AnnieAuthor's Response: HEY! :) Thank you! Haven't we all? :P I have had innumerable times when I thought like Eloise as well, but I've grown past that stage now (hopefully). Ah, yes. Eloise is a tad dramatic. I think it gives her a little respite at thinking such ill of the world. Yep, that's sad but so true in society. And her obsession is justified, really, in a way. :) Aww...thank you! You're far too kind to me! I'm glad you liked it, thanks! :) Have a wonderful day! Vanya. Report Review
The beginning of this has to be one of my all-time favorite openings to a story. For some reason, that opening paragraph says so much about Astoria's character, her motivations (or non-motivations, as the case may be) and her state of mind. There is also something about your... syntax in this story that is kind of addicting. The flow of descriptions that seems utterly unique to Astoria's mind and it keeps drawing me from paragraph to paragraph until there is no more and I'm still not ready to be finished yet. There was no Hogwarts; only a yearning, and a small thing that said stillness will catch you. She wanted to crawl inside of herself and hatch inside of her own womb, birth her own self out again and start over, somewhere new, somewhere she didn't and never could exist. These two passages completely blew my mind. I don't really even know what else to say. Beautiful writing, Lily. I can't wait to read more :) AnnieAuthor's Response: WHAT A COMPLIMENT. I'm floored, honestly. Syntax is one of the best tools you can manipulate. Poetry workshop really has forced me to look at syntax as a really powerful tool--i look at the ordering of information in a sentence the same way as i look at choosing one word over another. it's effective, i think, and it makes writing a lot like solving a puzzle. Thanks so much Annie! A devout fan as I am of your writing it's always lovely to hear that I'm doing something right, at least in your almighty eyes. (h) Report Review
JANECHEL I -- O_O . O___O The way you told this story blew my mind! I know how you hate writing out of order, but the chaos of it all really worked to show Harry's descent into madness. Silly crazy Harry. I think he really just needed a hug. Anyway. I think my favorite parts were the little bits about him looking/not looking at the floor. It seemed to be the perfect way to start weaving the paranoia into everything, because what person is afraid of looking at the floor? The Ron and Hermione bits too. Those were totally brilliant and the part where Ron quit the Aurors was so... hard to read. Poor crazy Harry :( Your description seemed to be just right to help convey the mood too! Totally enjoyed this to the max! AnnieAuthor's Response: ANNIE Y U SO AWEZOME. I am speechless. YOU'RE AMAZING AND YOU NEED TO GET ON SKYPE SOON SO I CAN HAVE MORE DRARRY.

THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA. IT IS LIKE, COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF BAD. A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF BAD. IZZY. WHY. She reminds me of those people we all know that are really fun to be around until they get a certain idea and then they go completely rabid trying to make it a reality and you know, they mean well, really they do, but sometimes they're just so crazy that they just miss things like morals and tact and it's impossible to point it out because by then they're just so crazy with the idea that there is no hope and then the whole world explodes in a giant mushroom cloud of insanity and everyone dies. Or something. Anyway. The bit about the classes (how long are class periods ?) had me in stitches because it's just so true. Also, Neil is a dominating dreamboat, sign me up! Especially as he's Oliver's kid, I am super into that. I'm dying to know how this whole Rose thing goes. I feel like Neil is going to get in a whole lot deeper than he intends and it's not going to be pretty. Love it! Annie Report Review
God why is Rose so scary? She probably like... sharpens her teeth before bed each night or something. I was sure she was going to bite one of Izzy's arms off at one point. And of course she would like the crazy!hot Wood boy. Because horrible couples have this bad habit of making themselves up. Anywayyy, I missed seeing Albus in this chapter, but Libby showing emotion more than made up for it. I think the thing I like the most about Izzy at this point is that she knows what she's doing is ridic and shameless but she's going for it anyways. "I'm hijacking one witch's present for my own ulterior motives. I'm going to drug Rose Weasley so she never finds out that I'm double-crossing her. Before this second I've never heard the word shame." If she ends up actually drugging Rose because the Neil thing falls through, I will never stop laughing. "I still find it weird that you're already fantasizing about having his babies." "Better be prepared than be taken by surprise!" Good logic Izzy. Pity you can't seem to use any of that in your actual life. Though, if you did, this story would probably be really boring. So good on you then! Hi, Faith. Sorry, but the party's off. I'll tell you why, but I'll have to kill you. (I like that one.) That whole section, including the part where Izzy goes off talking about how she hasn't thought about where her and Albus' wedding is going to be, was completely hysterical. Loling forever over here. Shipping Libby/Scorpius like the Queen Elizabeth. Annie Report Review
Oh God Izzy. WHY. This is like watching a train wreck. And yet it is the most entertaining, sugar-infested, narcolepsy-induced train wreck ever, so that makes it okay. Even more fun to watch, when the train crashes and there is a cloud of powdered sugar and the sound of a million balloons popping on impact. THE PARTY EXPRESS, YO. But yes, Izzy has got herself into a tight spot. Or well, she will have herself in a tight spot soon. I can feel it. I can practically taste it. I can't wait to see Faith's reaction, and Rose's too. Faith looked like a Dutch caterpillar (never seen one, but I bet it looks squishy and has braids) Laughed for a good three minutes at that mental image. I bet Ditch caterpillars will only eat Tulip leaves. Picky twits. Forget Firenze. I'm the new hot crazy Seer at Hogwarts. Not a weird narcoleptic. Not at all. If this became an Al/OC seer story, I would love you forever. Like, what if Izzy had a narcolepsy dream about how the party ends up going and then it actually came true. That would blow my mind. Izzy, this is the sugariest con ever and I fully support you! Mostly for entertainment value, but whatever. It'll be fun! (also, Gubbs, I adore your dialogue tags. Though you should know.) Annie Report Review
So yah. Gubbers. I am reading this from ze beginning to show you how much I like it, because my approval indicates koala-tea (please ignore my deep, innate love of trash). Libby is very close to my heart, mostly because she reminds me of myself on days where I don't drink enough coffee and I can sympathize with hating the whole world and then over-thinking the expressions your face is making when they guy you like is around and then its like, omg why are you so awkward just act like you don't care why have you stopped breathing and its all just very difficult. Life is hard, you know. Of course, Izzy is completely psychotic. What kind of person loves sugar and hates frosting? A truly insane one, that's what kind. To show my appreciation, I have compiled some of my favorite lines from this chapter: Never tell Libby this, but I might have narcolepsy. Explains the dreams. Or-other option-I am a seer. I like that one better. So do I, Izzy. You would make a lovely seer OC for Albus, I'm sure. Albus couldn't not like his birthday. That went against my entire plan. It ripped my existential love letter to existential shreds and threw it into the existential fiery pits of existential hell. An avalanche of existentialism. Pity I never actually learned what that was in English class... I could add those to my diet. Balloons, biscuits, and boys' smiles. Has a ring to it. This makes her sound like the old witch from Hansel and Gretel. Next thing you know, she'll end up trying to cook Albus in a birthday cake instead of throwing the actual party. ANYWHO. LOVED IT.

CHINO (yeah, I know. Doesn't really sound like Gina, but I ran out of ideas. Deal with it.) I want a Pickett of my own, I really do. Annie Pickett. It has a lovely ring to it. And so would our marriage. Have a lovely ring, I mean. As for Dom. Something tells me she may be being two-timed (at first I typed double-teamed, but that looked wrong) and while I would love to ship her with Pickett instead, he is mine and so, she will have to go off and have a deep and torrid affair with... um... Oliver Wood's son. And Rose will eventually dump Scorpius for being such a prat and um... become a lesbian. Or something. I think I'm getting off track here. Anywho, Albus would have all the crazy fangirls. Mystery attracts them like moths to a pretty lightbulb, and you know what happens to the moths? THEY GET BURNED. Ok seriously, this is the worst review ever. I'm just babbling here. I could talk for a long time about how I think that having a name like Apostrophe has really damaged that girl's psyche and that no one should blame her for being a moron. But well. Yeah. I hope the next chapter involves broom closets. AnnieAuthor's Response: DEALING WITH IT LIKE GLASSES!SHO ANNIE PICKETT FENCE. Okay enough shouting random things. I've said much about the issue on Rose/Scor/Dom and I -still- am not entirely sure how I want to deal with it. I've got a couple options. They're all batshank crazy. You're getting off track?

JEAN-UHHH I have decided. I want my very own Picket. Mail him to me at your earliest convenience. Preferably with a bow attached. Dom is... exactly what she should be. With her parents, it would be hard to believe if she suddenly came over all tame. She's too reckless and fun for something like that, but no matter what she does, she will always be likable. In the same way, Albus is just as he should be as well, the prat. Whatever he is planning, he is extremely pleased with himself, and he really gives the sense that his whole being is filled with the Potter talent of know what is "right". He's a son after Harry's own heart, innie? I have decided that he is actually dating himself. The wedding is set for Spring 2012 and they will be gloriously happy together. I expect an invitation. Thank you for making chess sexy. AnnieAuthor's Response: ANNERINA. I will mail him wearing only a bow. Will that be okay? CONFESSION: Your view of the next gen kids totally inspired the versions in this fic. Spoiled, kind of reckless, living the celebrity life and everyone kind of hates each other. And HOMGGG You know exactly how Albus is. He's got the whole black and white ~superior~ morality of being Harry's son. He think he's so cool with his justice. Pffft, look at what justice did to Teddy. I would totally be all over that wedding. ♥ Chess is curvacious. Report Review
G.NA Thanks to you, I am stuck with thinking of the word "tussle" as a euphemism for the rest of my life. Apparently, Clemence thinks so too, silly girl. That's the oldest trick in the book! But you know, Albus is in trouble now. In the words of Terry Boot, girls are a bit like angry bulls: if you don't make eye-contact they forget you exist. He made eye-contact. Basically, she is never going to forget him ever. And Pickett. Dear, darling Pickett. I feel like we are two of a kind. We should get married and have lots of awkward, statistic-spouting children. What? I'm just saying. I see a lot of you in Clemence, in the best possible way. Her thoughts during the duel remind me so much of you and I know that her reaction to losing will be along the same lines. UST is the best way to brighten up someone's day! AnnieAuthor's Response: ANNIDIA Now my goal is to make you think of "treacle" as the same, because in my mind, when you say "tussle" I hear "tressle". Complicated, but it all makes sense in my mind. Mwahaha. HE AWOKE THE SLEEPING DRAGON. Not like Mushu, who just sort of chipped the sleeping dragon's ear. Sam Claflin babies ♥ I AM SO FLATTERED YOU THINK I COULD BE HALF AS CLEMENCE-Y AS CLEMENCE.

GEENUH. I'm glad I decided to start back at the beginning when rereading this. I think watching the build up of UST between Al and Clemence is a necessity. Also, Hugo is just... what a spazbot. I adore him so. To me, Clemence is the perfect example of a true Slytherin. She's ambitious and able to separate out her emotions for that ambition, and most of all, she is able to understand people on a more... clinical (? that's not the right word, but whatever) level, which enables her to see how they can fit into her plans in a really useful way. It's not that she uses people exactly. It's not true, evil manipulation. She simply can see what they do best clearly and uses that to her advantage. In a fandom where Slytherins are typecast and trash-talked almost universally, this is like running into Chris Pine at your local cinema and then having him invite you out to dinner and then going home with him and ... respecting him all night long. Basically, it's the best thing ever. And I'm not just saying that because I'm your friend. I SPEAKETH THE TRUTH. Love it darling. Off to read more! AnnieAuthor's Response: ANNIIIR So much gratuitous UST and so many filler chapters to make so I can fill them up with it. HUGO IS THE CORGI OF ETC ETC. We've had our long conversation on Clemence already, and you know of my famed loffs for you. She's mastered the 'practical' view of people, but it's also so easy for her to think she's figured it all out when she's sixteen and still in school. And your Chris Pine comment ♥ so much respect.

Dude. I have gotten to read two great one-shots about minor characters in two days. Basically, this is the best birthday present ever. I like the angle you took with tis. Fudge is a hard character to get into get inside of and I think you did that excellently here. That lurching feeling you get when you're caught in a lie, I like how you used that. And the river. I kept thinking he might throw himself into it and it kind of chilled me. The murky waters below you moved ever so slowly now, making the tiniest of ripples as it passed you and you wondered what it would be like to become one with it, to go wherever it took you, to be far away from this miserable place. Once upon a time you wouldnt have dreamed of such things but circumstances change people, they certainly changed you. Those lines were so well written. I read them over a few times and they really made a good picture in my head. Enjoyed this so much! What a great snapshot! AnnieAuthor's Response: Annie! I'm really glad you enjoyed this and read it on your birthday! You're the only person who picked up on that! I tried to make it as subtle as I could though. But yes, that's exactly what he wanted to do - throw himself over the edge. Probably because of shame and the extreme guilt he felt after all that had happened. Circumstances really do change people whether they like it or not. It's what makes this sad but also makes him even more of a coward for wanting to give up. Maybe he wasn't as strong to begin with. It's a rather sobering story with a very unfortunate character. Those lines were my favourites to write (hopefully that doesn't sound too morbid:/) Those and the very last line. Thank you so much for your review! Lia Report Review
I adore pre-hogwarts stories. I know that technically it's maurader's era, but I'm not going to split hairs with myself when I should be leaving you a review for this beautifully written one-shot! I've always wondered about Marlene. People seem to like to pair her with Sirius, but I've never really thought that fit. She was very... real here. I liked her. She felt like someone I could run into in my life, and I think that made her death so much more tragic. I also adore Fabian and Gideon. I've never written them (mostly because I think I would probably end up with some desperately sad story again like with Hestia Jones) but now I don't think I ever will, because this has kind of become my canon. Her gossamer curls caught and tangled amongst drooping garlands of holly tacked to the shelves. - this line really stood out to me. I could see the scene so easily. Beautiful description used in exactly the right way. Great writing! I really enjoyed this! AnnieAuthor's Response: Yes, I wasn't sure which era to place it in, I think it falls in the gap between Marauders and Pre-Hogwarts. If it had an actual Marauder as a main character I might have put it in Marauders. I'll move it if need be later on :) Marlene & Sirius might have had a thing in the past, I'm still not sure about that, but if I ever continue this story I'll be sure to answer that question! ;) I'm especially glad you liked the image of Marlene's hair stuck to the holly, that was one of my favorites as I was writing; she seems like the kind of character who really didn't notice whether her hair looked bad or her hems were coming down, her focus was so intense. Thanks so much for your kind review :) Report Review
SARAH. SAARRAAAHHH. How have you never mentioned this? WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS. I am going to make everyone read it and then they will tell you how silly you are for not telling us about this. Oh Dudley. I always like to pretend that he changed, but the way you wrote him here is too fitting to dispute. He treated his wife like his mother had let him treat her and it is shocking. He's just so incredibly lazy and ... fat. It's like he had stopped being a person, a functioning member of society, and had turned into part of his easy chair, with a vacuum attachment for biscuit consumption. It's a chilling idea, and the ending, with the ring disappearing into the floor, is perfect. Awesome one-shot darling! AnnieAuthor's Response: ANNIEEE Dudley is gross, which is why I try to pretend that this one-shot doesn't exist. The only reason it has gotten any reads at all is because lovely Janechel has a fondness for it and likes to spread the gross-o Dudley around to unsuspecting people. Thank you for reading and reviewing, dollface. :) Report Review
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Teddy/Dom, so it's good to see a chaptered fic for them on the archives! For some reason, I've never really liked Victoire much, but I'm really interested to hear her side of this story. What does she think about Teddy after having had something with him for so long? Most, if not all, of Teddy's feelings in this chapter seem to come purely from Dominiques perception of them, which I thought was a really nice technique to use, especially when dealing with a love triangle. It makes it really easy to empathize with the character you're with at that moment and try and see things from their side, whether or not you agree. Your description was really pretty and I thought it flowed really well! Great job! AnnieAuthor's Response: Oh, I'm glad you like it! I really like the idea of Teddy/Dominique, myself.. ^_^ I like Victoire, myself, but in this one I wanted to focus more on Dom's side of the story; I know that there are two sides but hers was the one I was more interested in. Thank you so, so much! :D -Jasmine Report Review
I remember when you first told me your idea for this story a looonnng time ago, and I thought it was so unique. I really think you've outdone yourself with the descriptions in this chapter. Everything seems so... light, airy. There is space in every sentence to stop and picture the scene and I think it fits the mountaintop perfectly. All the words seem shiny and sparkly and clean like snow and cold mountain air. In particular, I loved these two lines. They both really stuck with me. It was as though she stood in the centre of a pristine gem strung on a delicate thread, which way her world swayed depended only on the direction she chose. The picture this paints, as well as the feeling, is awesome. So this is what happens to those whose dreams are bigger than the earth. Left me totally speechless. So perfect. I also adore Luna's dialogue. It is just quirky enough to be her and her with Rolf is just love. I can't wait to see them meet up again! As always this was a total joy to read. Lovelovelove! AnnieAuthor's Response: crap. Archive ate my response. :( Okay. Let me try and remember what all I had said... it was a really nice response. Light and airy... I am thrilled that those are the two adjectives you used to describe this!! I worry that I push the envelope too far with description and that the readers may drown. :P I'm so happy that there is space between the description-y words to actual see what I'm describing. I actually couldn't believe that I wrote the second line that you pointed out. I went back and scanned the chapter for it. :) I want to thank you for this review. Literally, this review is what prompted me to begin rewriting chapter three after losing the written version that I had lost. Thank you. Lots of love. Melissa Report Review

10 Latinas Who Have Played 'The Help'
By Lee Hernandez | 08/11/2011 - 17:55 | 0 Comments
In The Help, a new movie which opened in theaters yesterday, actors Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer star as African American maids in Mississipi during the early 1960's. While the movie, which is based on Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel of the same name, doesn't feature any Latina actresses in the roles of maids, Latinas have a long history of playing 'the help' in movies and on television. Here are 10 of our favorite Latina 'help' roles of all-time!
Shelley Morrison, Will & Grace (1999-2006)
One of the funniest things about NBC's hit comedy Will & Grace, was the constant fighting between Karen Walker (Megan Mullaly) and her maid, Rosario Salazar (played brilliantly by Spanish actress, Shelley Morrison). Karen and Rosie would often engage in shouting matches, make fun of each other's outfits, and trade insults (like, "Lady, tonight you better sleep with one eye open!"), but at the end of the day, they really did love each other. Check out some of their best fights here.

Characteristics of Life
Characteristics of life include living things that are made of cells or cell products, use energy, respond to changes in the environment, maintain homeostasis and reproduce with similar offspring. These characteristics define whether something is living or not.
When people start studying what is life, my students often say "why do we need to bother having all these definitions for life because itâs kind of duh obvious what is a life." And that seems true in the beginning but scientists actually had to sit there and try to narrow it down because originally when people did study life, they ascribed life to a lot of things that we now know aren't alive. For example, they used to think that fire was alive. And we know now itâs not. So what are the characteristics of life?
Well one, weâve discovered that all life on this planet is made up of cells or products of cells. For example, my body is made up of gazzillions of cells. Skin cells, muscle cells, nerve cells, blood cells et cetera but then things like my finger nails or hair, those arenât made of cells but they are made by cells. So thatâs what I mean by cell products.
Living things use up energy and materials. One of the laws of the universe is that the universe hates order and itâs called entropy this love of disorder. So in order to maintain this highly organized state we need to be constantly spending energy to maintain the highly organized cells of our bodies. So one of the things that we know about life is that it has this active metabolism.
Living things respond to changes in their environment. Scientists like to call those stimulus. So when you poke me I look at you and say "hey, stop poking me." If you poke a tree, it doesnât turn and look at you but if you keep poking it ultimately itâll start growing thicker bark perhaps in that area and if itâs a Venus Fly Trap and you are a fly and you're poking the little trigger hairs, it will catch you and eat you.
We maintain homeostasis, this kind of goes hand in hand with this idea about responding to changes in the environment. Homeostasis, this is the idea that we try to maintain an internal balance. For example, if I get too hot, I start to sweat in order to get rid of the excess heat. If I get too cold I start to shiver doing muscle contractions to help release some additional heat energy. And thatâs all to keep my body temperature same. So homeostasis is an example, or sorry, body temperature maintenance is an example of homeostasis.
Living things reproduce with similar offspring. So when I reproduce I have a mechanism of inheritance. I have a way of passing on my traits to my children. In me I use DNA, so pretty much everything on this planet uses DNA. There are some examples of viruses, although some people argue against them being alive. Some viruses were also use RNA.
Now, life evolves at the species level. Individuals donât evolve. We donât undergo genetic change over time. Unless of course you're a spiderman you get beaten. But species evolve over time in response to environmental changes. Whether itâs, it gets colder so you need to evolve to have better protection against the cold or itâs a new environmental change because some member of your species figured out a new genetic mechanism thatâs just better than was previously found in your species. Thatâs life.

Jordan was selected as one of four country sites where this global project will be implemented; namely Botswana, Mali and Sudan. The three-year-project, is implemented by IUCN Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) and funded by the European Union, aiming at poverty reduction, sustainable management and restoration of ecosystems in drylands and rangelands. Four pilot areas were selected in Jordan within Zarqa and Mafraq governorates.
The project is expected to achieve a number of results that local communities will benefit from on the local and global levels, with special attention to those important to women and vulnerable groups. Economically, the project will explore economic and income generating options for rural communities based on natural resource commodities and on valuations of ecosystem services. The project will also inform and influence policies to support sustainable management of drylands and rangelands at local, national, regional, and global levels.
A number of activities and plans are developed, that aim at building the capacities of local communities and their institutions to manage and restore their ecosystems, improve their marketing activities as well as support dialogues among local stakeholders and of multi-stakeholder dialogues to share, negotiate and agree understanding, knowledge, ideas and priorities.
For more informatiom please contact Ms. Fidaa Haddad, IUCN ROWA Project Manager and Gender Focal Point
The Global Drylands Initiative contributes to strengthening the resilience of dryland ecosystems and livelihoods and to conserving drylands biodiversity. The Initiative builds on and strengthens the local knowledge and institutions that enable people to govern their resources sustainably. This is achieved by strengthening rights and governance from local to national level as well as globally. www.iucn.org/about/union/secretariat/offices/esaro/what_we_do/drylands/

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN CETL's SPRING TEACHING & LEARNING FORUM! |
For PowerPoint presentations and other resources from our fabulous keynote presenter, Stephen Carroll, Click Here For more photos of the forum's workshops and presentations, Click Here |
CETL has an exciting list of events being planned for the 2012-2013 academic year. They include several new initiatives such as: Conversations with Faculty/Staff Authors, Faculty Learning Communities, and the new CETL Workshop Series.
Each semester, the week before classes begin, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning sponsors a professional development conference for St. Cloud State University faculty and instructional staff related to teaching and learning within the framework of our institutional goals and objectives.
Fall Convocation, held at the beginning of the Fall Semester serves to welcome everyone back from the summer to a new academic year.
January Workshops, held at the beginning of each Spring Semester, are seen as a way to get faculty and staff at the university back together and to sustain the sense of community and their commitment to teaching and learning.
One of the important objectives of CETL is to facilitate conversations around various academic and academia-related topics.
Book Talks enable such conversations focused on the theme of the book. Books may be suggested by faculty, staff, or administrators, or may be the choice of the CETL Director or Advisory Committee.
The Faculty Learning Community initiative is a professional development program in which a cross disciplinary faculty and staff group of six to ten members engage in a yearlong inquiry around teaching and learning.
The Chairs Wisdom Collaborative is a discussion group for Department Chairs.
The CETL Workshop Series is a series of professional development workshops intended to provide information as well as a forum to present, discuss, and participate in topics related to the varied responsibilities of faculty and instructional staff such as teaching and learning, scholarship, advising, tenure, promotion, and evaluation, and leadership.
The Miller Scholars Program was established by the generous donation of James W. and Marion Miller, and co-sponsored by St. Cloud State University's Office of Academic Affairs. This prestigious program is designed to recognize and support faculty members who have established a demonstrated record of motivation, excellence, and leadership in teaching and learning.
Teaching and Learning Grants are a new initiative intended to reward and encourage innovation in teaching and learning.

Increasing oil prices leads to an increase in the divorce rate
Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008While it can't be proved that increasing oil prices directly affects the divorce rate, it is no secrete that financial problems is one of the biggest factors contributing to the high divorce rate in California. Over and over again, I see how financial difficulties puts a strain on a marriage. Usually, arguments over finances spill over onto other issues causing a couple to argue more and with more intensity.
Clearly no one can deny that a slowing economy, an increase in bankruptcy, and an increase in foreclosures has a correlation to the divorce rate in California. While one can argue on whether financial difficulties leads to a divorce, or whether it only brings to light issues that already exist, no one can deny the impact that it has on a marriage.
Similarly, financial strains also impacts the divorces process itself. During a slow economy, many divorcing couples want to minimize the fees they will incur in a divorce. The couple is more amicable to mediation, uncontested divorces, cheap divorces, or having one attorney do all the work for both sides. This can be a great option for couples that can put aside their differences for a common good, preserving the community property and dividing it between themselves as cheaply as possible.
Our firm handles many uncontested cases. This is a fast, economic, and less stressful way to dissolve a marriage. It also helps the couple preserve as much of the assets they have acquired as possible by greatly reducing the cost of the divorce.
For more information or a free consultation, please contact one of our experienced, caring, and affordable attorneys at 800-589-9901 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

CodyBOct 25, 200910I just finished this game and it is definitely in my top 3. Possibly my all time favorite game. I will decide that when I play through it again. Graphics, story, gameplay, acting, presentation... they really went all out on this game. So far it is the game of the year. I can't imagine another game coming close to this... and I am a HUGE Modern Warfare fan.

JoubertNOct 31, 200910Gorgeous cinematic experience, nail biting moments; there's not as scary a moment as in Uncharted 1, where the zombies attack in the dark (or maybe it is just because I played it at night). Best game I've played.
EliJ.Nov 11, 200910
DanielSG-17Nov 11, 200910This is hands down the best game that I have ever played in my entire life! Even better than Super Mario Bros 3!
AndrewCNov 12, 200910First off Graphics: The best of this console generation. Only Arma 2 and Crysis can compare with this wonderful work of art! The story is off blockbuster movie quality and is genuinely a laugh from start to finish, it is absolutely breathtaking. I completed the game and then guess what I did? Yep that's right, started all over again. The multiplayer ain't half bad either ;)
codenamezeroNov 13, 20099Solid game play and great story telling. I enjoy the multiplayer mode a lot especially the co-op, however i gave it a 9 because some part of the game aren't right, such as falling through world and getting stuck around the obstacles...
AndrewBNov 14, 200910
EdUARDOFNov 15, 200910Graphics: 10 Story: 95 Gameplay: 95 Overall: 10
TomA.Nov 15, 20099Very good addition to the ps3's library, but somewhat overhyped. I give the graphics a 10, the audio a 10, and the gameplay a 9, only because it can get frustrating at times, and there are too many annoying bugs. But overall a great game and a must buy for any ps3 owner.
AlexiSNov 16, 200910Go PS3! Awesome job ND. I have only managed to play through half of the game because of all the work of senior year, but my experience so far has been great. The multi is awesome and I must say there aren't too many whiny middle schoolers to worry about. A - Friken - Mazing graphics! Xbox...I don't even have to say anything.
DanielHNov 17, 200910This game is simply put, Outstanding! Uncharted 2 is without a doubt the PS3's best looking game. The campaign is very cinematic, at parts i could not tell if i was controlling Drake or not. My only problem with the game is that the cover system is a bit sticky online.
BoSNov 17, 200910Absolutely the best game I have ever played and cannot put down. So refreshing feels like a new genre, in my opinion this game truly kicked off this generation. If you thought the first was good, you have no idea. Mad props to naughty dog! Hope to see a number 3 but wow I cant see how they can improve at all, one love....
DominikJNov 17, 20099A well- polished set of mechanics, a cinematic thrill ride, and a surprisingly good multiplayer and coop feature make this a package that all PS3 users should try
ThomasO.Nov 19, 200910Without a doubt, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is THE BEST GAME AVAILABLE on the PS3. Sony and Naughty Dog have easily made the best game of this current generation for now. U2: AT's awesomeness will be talked about for years to come. If you own a PS3, get this game. Don't own a PS3, BUY ONE TO PLAY IT!!!
RyanRNov 21, 200910The best game out on any gaming console. The thing to keep in mind is that this masterpiece is PS3 exclusive(what else?). Best graphics, gameplay, story, replay value, and has the best themed music imaginable. This game is more than a 10/10. It's broken the boundry to an 11/10. Go Uncharted 2!
SpenokVNov 29, 200910Simply one of the Best games i have ever played, on any platform, at any time. This goes up there with MGS4 and Zelda
RichardNDec 13, 20099
JDDec 14, 200910
brandonrDec 18, 200910the only perfect game we've seen this generation and most likely the best single player experience ever!
PaulRDec 22, 20099Perfect combination of... shooting, platforming and puzzling with production values that have to be seen to be believed
MiKEDec 23, 200910What can I say? The best game I have EVER played! Great gameplay, kickass graphics! a must play!
CarlPDec 26, 200910This is definitely one of the top ten best games of all time. It's not innovative but it does everything right. The single player is the best of the year by a long shot.Also the multiplayer is awesome it's like that of Gears of Wars' which is great but with a platforming twist. So pick it up if you can.BEST GAME OF THE YEAR!!!
Aug 11, 201010Every game critic gave this game a positive review, and with good reason. Best game ever released, but its only home is the PS3!!! Go Uncharted 2!!! 10/10!!!
Aug 11, 201010
Aug 12, 201010The only thing I didn't like from the game is that it was too short!
The story line is awesome, the characters are really believable (animation, script, voices), and the graphics are stunning.
The most immersive game in terms of storytelling ever. You really feel as if you were Indiana Jones of the 21st century.
Clearly one of the best games on the ps3. -
Aug 30, 201010wow no game captures the feel you are in a movie like Uncharted 2 . a solid story with great voice acting . solid controls great gun play . the first one was alot of fun but the second one is even better in every way. new addition is the online play which is alot of fun . this is what a sequel to a already good game should be.
Aug 14, 201010
Jan 20, 201210
Sep 28, 201010This is the absolute BEST graphic made game on the planet. The game has a compelling story, but the reason why I love this game the most, is because games look better than when you actually play them. However, this game remains the same. So either the cutscenes are just garbage, or the game's graphics a re AWESOME. I can't wait for Uncharted 3.
Jan 19, 201110Ignore ANY bad review they are probably just 360 fanboys who have not even played the game. I used own to all three consoles, this may just be the best game on all three.
Oct 3, 201210One of the best games out there. I was really emotional attached to all of the characters. Good pacing. Great story. Just wait til everybody gets disappointed for Uncharted 3.
Oct 6, 20109
Sep 15, 20109
Sep 15, 201010Amazing game,great for everybody,family,friends,kids,adults.I agree with others aswell,its got 26 chapters and it wil last you a good while,not to mention the story line is good quality as always coming from a sony/naughty dog company ,once you finished the single player you can enjoy hundreds of hours of fun playing the online part of the game.
Sep 15, 201010Amazing game guys,just amazing,you need to play it to see and believe just how good this game is,this game made me relise how bad 360 games are and how short they are.
cant beat a ps3 exclusive. -
Mar 1, 20129A game that was just as good as the original. Amazingly cinematic, and fun gameplay, even though I sometimes get lost, not knowing what I should do next.
Sep 18, 201010One Word AWSOME. This is one of the best game i have ever played. Also i think this just may be about the best looking games on any console so far. 10/10 For me :)
Jun 26, 20129Uncharted 2 improves a lot the previous episode, already very well done, in all respects, and introduces the online game Too bad there were pirates in the first Uncharted ... and a game where there are pirates can not be beat. Monkey Island Rules!
Sep 21, 201010
Apr 1, 201310I've read and heard all the hype and was expecting one of the all time greats and I absolutely got it here. The problems with the first Uncharted are solved and improved here.

Oct 12, 201010GAME OF THE YEAR.
Every element has been finely crafted, from sound to graphics to cut-scenes to gameplay. All of this thrusts the player in to a tumultuous thrill ride that has no bounds. And as for the multiplayer, it is a well implemented feature too. -

Oct 13, 201010There is simply nothing bad to say about this game. Every single aspect of the game is nearly perfect: graphics, single player, multiplayer, music,... the list goes on and on. If you are not blown away by this game, no other game will.
Oct 13, 201010Best. Game. Ever. BUY NOW!!!!!! Single player is amazing- (completed it 3 times (Normal, Hard, then crusing)) Online multiplayer is amazing- (Poured endless amount of hours into the intense gameplay) and co-op kicks ass as well. If you don't have this game you are missing out.
Oct 15, 201010
Oct 17, 201010Uncharted 2 is one of the best games i have ever played. Great story, great fighting, great puzzles, great platforming, great graphics, great online ect. There is nothing wrong with this game, if you have a PS3 a don't have this game go buy it now, you won't regret it.
Jul 25, 201110One of the best single player campaigns in a shooter ever. Possibly the best PS3 game to date. Not to mention the online is very fun, though it could use a little work.
Oct 19, 20109This is a great game. As fun as the first Uncharted. The graphics are better that Drakes Fortune but the re-playability is lessened. Truly a game you don't want to miss out on. Story - 9 : Graphics - 10 : Controls - 9 : Gameplay - 9
Oct 19, 201010The grafics are the best of the best, the story is mind blowing it's over all the best game. Nothing even comes to it's toes on how great this game is.
Oct 23, 201010
Nov 11, 20109Epic from start to finish. Atmospheric and exillarating. The graphics and fluidity are sublime. Its challenging but not too challenging. I truly recommend this title.

Nov 5, 201010this game is the best great graphics cool story of drake and Flynn and lazarivic and the online gaming is double cool thats why it has a 10 number one game
Nov 7, 201010This game is totally awesome!!!! Graphics, Story, Cut scenes and Game play are off the rockers.... I couldn't wait more for the third edition of the legendary drake's series. Seriously, buy ps3 just to play this mind blowing game...
Nov 9, 201010This is by far a great game! It has a excellent story and excellent online features. It is a great fps. This game has got to be one of the greatest games out for PS3! Easily a Perfect 10.
Nov 21, 201010
Dec 23, 201110The best of the series in my opinion. While UC3 adds things, UC2 covers the most ground and feels the most balanced and fleshed out, it's really solid. Probably my favorite game of all time, in that despite being very linear, I never get sick of multiple play throughs.

Jan 25, 201110Absolutely brilliant. Best game on the PS3 so far. Can't fault the single player campaign, the story's good, the characters dialogue is captivating and witty. I think there are 2 things that make this game standout from the rest. Firstly the amount of intense moments in the game where the unexpected happens, and secondly the online co-op modes - definitely worth a shot if you get this game.
Jan 22, 201110Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has improved and expanded gameplay from the first, an excellent hollywood story, perfect graphics, amazing sound design, a lengthy single player, and an awesome multiplayer. Uncharted 2 has a heart for story, and loads of entertainment for gamers. Simply a masterpiece. Don't miss out.
Jun 2, 201110
Feb 4, 201110Quite the lot we have here don't we? Giving this game a 10 because well.. it's pretty awesome, a must play, and there are far too many Gears of War, COD, and just sorry xbox 360 fanboys trying to downplay a nearly perfect game with undeserving low review scores.
Mar 5, 201210
May 23, 201110Is this perfect game? We have to compare it to it's peers and by that standard it's a 10. Great game play, Great story, a real challenge playing on hard.

Jul 3, 20119Superb opening, everything start in a Bang! ! . Those incredible moments are here and are mind blowing , the story is fantastic , the gunplay, not the best but is responsive. Other thatn that the platforming is an idea that Castlevania copy pasted and formed in a orignal way. so coooll experience.
Jun 6, 201310This game is a marvel of gameplay merged with storytelling. From end to end it is a non-stop rollercoaster of excitement and action. You genuinely get to know and care about each character and their journey through this game. It is a game that I will go back to again and again, just to experience it again. Truly one of the best games ever made.
Jun 10, 201110This is truly one of the best games I have ever played. Awesome story, fluid animations, gorgeous environments and movie-like gameplay make this a game no PS3 owner should ever miss.
Apr 17, 20129
Feb 22, 201210Even more catchy than first part. Awesome story and everything else. Adding multiplayer, that was thing I was waiting for, but it was a little bit disappointing. Best third person shooter I have ever played. U3 awaits!
May 16, 201110
May 15, 201110
May 17, 201110A near perfect game. Everything is great. As a person who has been to nepal, I can say that the art direction here is spot on. Voice acting/mocap, writing, gameplay, and pacing are all fantastic. The single player experience alone is totally worth your time and money. One of the best games out there, for any system.
Jul 9, 20119Best game of this generation so far. Everything about it is great and tbh I just wanna boost rating because of idions that are giving it 1 and 2..........................
May 24, 20119Great game from top to bottom, from graphics to gameplay. Highly recommended. Cannot wait for Uncharted 3. Another great reason to be a PS3 owner.
May 31, 201110This is by far the best example of a game making a movie like experience. The gameplay is amazing the cinematic's are superb and this and the first uncharted is the only game I've had where I had people wanting to watch me play for the amazing story behind this epic game
Jun 12, 201110
Jun 10, 201110For everyone complaining about the controls, i have never had a problem with it. This game has one of the best stories ever. It has amazing graphics, and it has amazing controls, it is super fun to play and has almost no flaws. Its the best game ever!
Nov 9, 20119
Jun 14, 201110Amazing game, story is excellent - well written and executed. Visuals are excellent too; some of the backdrops in this game are breath-taking. The gameplay varies well with great puzzle integration, combat and shooting elements. Well worth the purchase, and highly recommended.
Jun 14, 20119okay, the campaign isn't that good, but the multiplayer is AWESOME. it's like goldeneye 007 multiplayer, except even better. the only downside is that for some game modes, match making is unreliable.
Jun 15, 20119
100Spread across twenty-six chapters is a story as playful and worthwhile as the gameplay.
93Graphically stunning, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is, first of all, an interactive adventure, one that feels like a movie and even has a storyline of a movie. Most gameplay situations have been tailored in order to stun the player with originality and identification, and the end result is absolutely amazing.
100Among Thieves is all about constant movement. And even movement on top of movement. It grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go for twelve hours. Once I finished, all I could think about was playing it again. More than a defining game for the PS3, Uncharted 2 is a defining game of this console generation.

Who's buying? I'm really tempted to pick up the i7-3960X.
The Intel X79 platform for socket LGA2011 processors proved that it is clearly the new enthusiast desktop platform for Intel. The Intel Core i7-3960X processor did a great job of showing just how far ahead Intel is when it comes to processor performance. AMD's new 'Bulldozer' processor series doesn't stand a chance against Intel's new 'Sandy Bridge-E' processors. The Intel Core i7-3960X is hands down the fastest processor that we have ever tested and used before. It is without a doubt the exotic super car of processors and with its commanding $990 suggested retail price it reserved for the select few that are willing to pay to have the best money can buy.
The Intel Core i7-3960X was remarkably fast on multi-threaded benchmarks and that is very good news for power users that really tax their systems with workloads like video encoding and decoding.http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1773/1/Benchmark Results: The x264 HD benchmark is very CPU intensive and it showed the Intel Core i7-3960X Sandy Bridge-E processor running at 194.4 FPS on the first pass and 61.2 FPS on the second pass. The Intel Core i7-3960X really eats this benchmark up and if you do a ton of video editing this is clearly the processor architecture that you need!
And I'm thinking about pairing it with this:
MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 3072MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
And this:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10Q-32GBXL

The NBC news magazine show Rock Center recently covered the issue of chimpanzees used in experiments. Ken and Rosie are two aging and seriously ill chimpanzees who had been retired from experiments and living in Alamogordo, New Mexico, until the National Institutes of Health (NIH) transferred them to the Texas Biomedical Research Institute in San Antonio. That same Texas facility was recently fined $25,714 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for multiple violations of the Animal Welfare Act that included primate deaths and staff injuries.
Before arriving at the Texas lab, both had already been through the rigors of a laboratory existence. Rosie had been chemically immobilized 99 times by laboratory workers. Ken's heart problems put him at risk of sudden cardiac death, according to veterinary records obtained by PCRM through the Freedom of Information Act. His health is so precarious that veterinarians have placed a Do Not Resuscitate order in his medical file.
After their transfer, the Institute of Medicine released its landmark report finding that chimpanzees are, for the most part, not needed for medical research, prompting NIH to suspend all new grants for chimpanzee experiments on chimpanzees. But that was too late for Ken and Rosie, who remain in the Texas laboratory. And during the Rock Center segment, Texas Biomed's director suggested that the chimpanzees should be kept in captivity for possible future experiments.
The Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act will end the dispute over misleading claims of necessity by researchers who have made their careers out of experimenting on chimpanzees. The bill will permanently end the use of chimpanzees in invasive experiments, permanently end federal breeding programs, and release federally owned chimpanzees to permanent sanctuaries.
To help end chimpanzee experiments and allow Ken, Rosie, and hundreds of other chimpanzees to retire to sanctuaries, please e-mail your members of Congress today and ask them to co-sponsor the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act.

Who Turned Out The Lights?
"Uh oh" said my wife.
"Oh great" I said.
"Hey!" said my son.
"But I wanted to read!" said my daughter.
"Beep beep beep" said all my UPSes.
I grabbed a flashlight and went hunting for the 300 watt inverter and my stash of five (yep, five) car batteries. I grabbed one of the batteries and hooked up the inverter and plugged in a lamp. One lamp gives off quite a lot of light. Enough to fill the living room and spill over into the kitchen. My wish-list now includes a 1500 watt inverter to power up my Toyo Stove to heat the house. I don't want to imagine the scenario where the power goes for 6 hours at -50C. In the end our power came back on in less time than it takes to watch an episode of The Office on my wife's charged up laptop but the thought still remains; what if the power does go out for a long time in very cold weather?

Monday, January 2, 2012
Winter Light
The temperature rose to a balmy -3C today and I got a bit more restless than usual so my daughter and I went for a walk across the river. I'm pretty sure the trail which runs parallel along the far side of the river just south of Lake Lebarge is part of the Livingston Trail, which brought the gold rush folk up through this neck of Yukon woods during those early years. Now it's a well packed trail, wide and easily walked in the winter. The river is frozen solid to gaining access to it requires no more than a bit of walking against the blistering winds which howl down the open regions of the river valley. In amongst the trees there are quite a number of animal tracks ranging from wolf (prints the size of sauce pans) and bobcat, right down to tiny mouse prints which erupt from holes in the snow.
We had a great walk and by the time we got home we were ready of our cups of hot mocha.

Happy New Years
We rang in the New Year with friends last night. A few adults and a crowd of young people and it was quite enjoyable. It was funny how the adults sat around by the food and wine and discussed our wonderful kids while said kids took over the living room. I shouldn't really say "kids" because they ranged in age from twenty down to twelve.

Question 034: Weird! A strange email confrontation!
Your excuse is because you "knew nothing about me or my organization" yet, you didn't take the time to ask now did you? You sir are the one that "jumped" to some conclusion that was based on what you saw on my site. You further insult me further by saying your "sorry you even responded to my email." Sir, that shows just how immature you really are in regards to this matter. You claim you have had "disagreements" with others and you have agreed to disagree at times, other times you were corrected, others they were wrong, shall I "correct" you on all that I see wrong (and can prove?) Being a long time member of the U.S. Navy I would have expected you to act as a professional, yet you have chosen to insult not only me, but all my members!
Sir, in the end I have grown to learn that while there are many professional martial artist out there, and like you, I agree there are many out there that are nothing but McDojangs etc. You have shown not only ill will towards your site, your current instructor, but your current association as well. While you seem towish me some sort of "ill will" I will offer my sincere apology for "upsetting" you in this regards, that was never my intention, my intention was to promote ITF Taekwon-do, Taekwondo in general and the martial arts! And the fact that you don't want to link my site, that is your choice, and as a professional, I respect that, as a martial artist I respect that. I will keep your site on my links page so that all may see your site, and hopefully increase your traffic, as I truly believe in Taekwon-do and Martial Arts in general and feel while I may not agree with your site, I will leave it up to the individuals to decide for themselves.

It's hard to get away from traffic in Bermuda, and Paget [1]'s busy, hilly, narrow roads, often lacking sidewalks, are far from ideal for running and walking. The Railway Trail is the perfect escape from the hubbub, a flat, shady path cutting through scenic neighborhoods.
The Paget trail starts at the top of Trimingham Hill on South Road, where signs and a zebra crossing lead to the entrance. Passing through a short tunnel and between thick limestone cuts in the hillside, the trail runs past Grape Bay, with wide-open views of Paget Marsh [2] and the city of Hamilton's [3] skyline beyond.
Although the trail occasionally hits tarmac sections and has to cross a couple of main roads, it soon enters a long, wide, tranquil stretch that passes through thick cherry woods, past farmers' fields and spice forests, all the way to Warwick [4] and beyond. If you keep going, you can actually make it all the way to Mangrove Bay in Sandys [5]—this I know from many a marathon training session!
For nearly 30 years, members of the Mid Atlantic Athletic Club (tel. 441/236-9586, www.maac.bm [6]), the island's largest running club, have met at the Botanical Gardens [7] for a two- or four-mile "fun run" at 6 p.m. Tuesday evenings through the summer months. Meet in the center of the Gardens just past the main carpark. The loop route leaves North Gate and follows the park's perimeter along Point Finger Road, South Shore Road, Tee Street, and Berry Hill Road.
