(CNN) -- The year is almost out of here, and boy has it been a whopper.
No, we don't mean the economy or politics. We're talking about the ups and downs of Hollywood celebrities. For some, 2013 has been an amazing year filled with all the good things fame can bring: fans, sales and awards. For others, not so much. The less fortunate have had to deal with criticism, lawsuits and blaring headlines.
Here are five stars who rocked it out in 2013 -- and five who had the rock fall on them:
Miley Cyrus
Cyrus may not have been named Time's Person of the Year, but for a minute there it seemed possible.
At one point Cyrus was leading in an online poll for the coveted title, but ultimately the magazine's editors chose Pope Francis (thank God, right?). Yet even without the honor, it's hard to dispute the obvious: Cyrus kind of owned 2013.
Her scantily clad performance with singer Robin Thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in August had everyone talking, and spawned everything from infographics to Halloween costumes.
"You can call Miley Cyrus a lot of things after her bizarre 2013, but poor, uneventful and un-newsworthy aren't some of them," wrote Scott Davis for Forbes. "In one of the most calculated exercises in Marketing 101, Cyrus schooled major brands by understanding that it is not just about becoming the dialog, but orchestrating it and the ecosystem that surrounds it."
Much like her Disney Channel character Hannah Montana, Cyrus seemed to emerge in 2013 as two different people. One, the young woman crazy in love with her gorgeous (now-ex) fiance Liam Hemsworth, and the other an edgy singer who hung out with rappers and twerked in a unicorn onsie. (You can probably thank Cyrus for the fact that you even know what "twerking" is despite the dance style having been around for years.)
And she didn't stop there. The video for her ode to heartbreak, "Wrecking Ball," featured a nude Cyrus swinging on a wrecking ball, showing the singer suggestively licking a sledgehammer.
In November she lit up what appeared to be a joint on stage at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards, performed alongside a crying kitten at the American Music Awards, and she was one of only three female solo artists in 2013 to debut an album with more than 150,000 copies sold (Lady Gaga and Katy Perry were the other two). Cyrus charmed while hosting "Saturday Night Live"; her cache allowed her to celebrate her 21st birthday by "taking over" MTV for the day, and her more than 15 million Twitter followers are happy to retweet her candid photos of anything and everything, including the singer in bed and kissing her dog.
Cyrus may be the most visible, but she's not the only celebrity to have a big year. There is also:
Justin Timberlake
The former boy bander had the biggest album of the year, "The 20/20 Experience," which sold 968,000 copies when it debuted in March, held the No. 1 position for weeks and followed that with a second volume, "The 20/20 Experience -- 2 of 2" last month. He joined the elite "Five-Timers Club" of hosts for "SNL," and his history of rap performances with Jimmy Fallon are viral gold. Timberlake's "reunion" with 'N Sync at the VMAs almost exploded the Internet, and he toured with the equally cool Jay Z. Oh, and did we mention he continued to bring sexy back by looking adorable the whole entire time?
Kerry Washington
Her success in 2013 was, dare we say, "Scandal"-ous. Not only does she star on one of the hottest TV shows of the year, but she also graced countless magazine covers, was named best dressed by People and was the Emmy "It" girl of the season. Washington also managed to pull off a secret marriage, keep her pregnancy under wraps and host "SNL" during a firestorm of controversy regarding the comedy show's lack of diversity.
Jennifer Lawrence
Don't you just love her? Lawrence has continued to build a reputation as incredibly approachable and just downright cool. Whether it's giving the best quotes during interviews or inspiring amazing gifs, she is helping to shape pop culture. Along the way she also starred in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," one of the biggest and most eagerly awaited films of the year, and "American Hustle." We aren't the only ones enthralled by the actress: Barbara Walters selected her as one of the 10 most fascinating people of 2013.
Sandra Bullock
Bullock continued to be America's sweetheart. She was equally comfortable in the pages of Vogue as she was dressed up for Halloween with son Louis. Early buzz has her pegged as an Oscar contender for "Gravity." She also scored with lighter fare such as the female buddy-cop film "The Heat" with Melissa McCarthy. And how many movie stars know the lyrics to the classic hip-hop tune "Rapper's Delight"?
While these celebrities enjoyed a great year, there are a few who didn't fare as well:
Justin Bieber
The poster child for a not-so-great 2013 would have to be Bieber. Where to begin even? It seemed like he stayed in the news with everything from losing his monkey to a car accident and a run-in with a neighbor. There was also lots of speculation about his time spent in Brazil. To pull it all together for you, we prepared a guide to Justin Bieber's bad year.
Amanda Bynes
Bynes easily assumed the mantle of troubled starlet that Lindsay Lohan had previously owned. Bynes had quite a bit of legal trouble and some bizarre tweets in which she attacked fellow celebs. Nick Cannon penned a letter of support. After being placed on a psychiatric hold, she eventually went into treatment and now appears to be on the mend.
Lindsay Lohan
Speaking of Lohan, her "comeback" fell kind of flat. The New York Times painted a less than flattering portrait of her on the set of "The Canyons" which, despite having an actual porn star acting opposite her, failed to generate much heat (the SXSW festival passed on it). Even what was billed as a super confessional interview with Oprah Winfrey didn't seem to get people very excited about her and her career.
It should have been a great year for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. A new baby and an engagement and a new album for him. But the pair spent 12 months being raked over the coals from the body shaming of Kardashian's pregnant body to further shaming after she lost weight and posted a selfie of her ample curves in a revealing bathing suit. Meanwhile, West seemed to court contention every time he opened his mouth -- be it comparing Kardashian to Michelle Obama or deeming himself the No.1 rock star on the planet. It got so bad that people wanted to believe West really said he was "the next Nelson Mandela," but even he wouldn't say that. And let's not forget that now notorious music video.
Chris Brown There is probably little sympathy for Brown for landing on the list of those who had a bad year. The singer has never fully rebounded from pleading guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009. Many didn't know what to make of it when the pair briefly reconciled in 2013. Brown was booked on a hit-and-run charge in July that was later dropped, and in October was accused of assaulting a man in Washington. Brown later entered rehab to deal with anger management issues and consequently was kicked out for "acting violently."
Here's to continued success for those who did well and a better 2014 for those who didn't.

For an entire generation of New England baseball fans, 1967 will always be remembered as the season when a plucky Red Sox team defied the odds and reinvigorated Fenway Park. On the final day of the regular season, the team clinched the American League pennant in climactic fashion at the ballpark.
Record: 92-70, 1st in American League
Manager: Richard H. Williams
Attendance: 1,727,832
Postseason: Played in World Series
New manager Dick Williams left no doubt about who would be running the 1967 Red Sox. Taking away Carl Yastrzemski's team captain status, Williams declared, "There will be no captains on this team." He then added the famous words, "We will win more than we lose."
The fans at Fenway Park didn't hold the same faith. On Opening Day in 1967, just 8,324 fans watched Jim Lonborg beat Chicago, 4-3.
During spring training, Tony Conigliaro's left shoulder blade was broken by a batting-practice pitch and just four days later, George Scott suffered a concussion when he crashed into the concrete outfield wall at the team's Winter Haven ballpark.
An early season victory by Billy Rohr, who held New York hitless through 8? innings in his big league debut at Yankee Stadium, was an early sign that this could be a special season.
Passion heated up in June when White Sox manager Eddie Stanky dubbed Yastrzemski an "All-Star from the neck down." A tense game at Fenway Park between Boston and Chicago ensued, with Tony Conigliaro hitting a two-run, walk-off home run in the 11th inning. All of a sudden an impossible dream seemed possible.
The future of Fenway Park was in doubt, however. On June 20, owner Tom Yawkey stated that Fenway Park was deteriorating and that Milwaukee had appealed to him to move the Red Sox there.
Even with these off-field concerns, the Red Sox won 10 consecutive games between July 14 and 23. During this stretch, Conigliaro became the youngest player in history to reach the 100-homer mark. When the Red Sox arrived home just one-half game out of first, some 10,000 fans mobbed the team at the airport.
These positive vibes were suddenly interrupted on August 18, when Tony Conigliaro was struck in the eye by a Jack Hamilton fastball, and when he dropped to the ground, many thought he may have been killed. Conigliaro was out for the rest of the season but his teammates rallied and swept the Angels that weekend.
The 1967 season was called the year of the "Great Race" with four teams in the hunt for the Al pennant, even down to the last weekend. Carl Yastremski was spectacular in those final games, collecting 10 hits in his last 13 at-bats and going 7-8 in the last two games. Chicago was eliminated first but Boston still needed to beat Minnesota and hope for a Detroit loss on the final day of the season. Jim Lonborg threw a gem, downing the Twins as thousands of delirious fans flooded the field, before the Red Sox learned of the Tigers' loss to the Angels.
Though the Red Sox lost to St. Louis in the World Series, the 1967 season was a critical one in Red Sox history. One can say that Red Sox Nation was born in 1967, as fans began to follow the team with renewed fervency. The Red Sox had suffered through eight straight losing seasons before Dick Williams made his bold statement. For turning around a team that had finished second-to-last the season before, Williams was voted Manager of the Year and Dick O'Connell was named Executive of the Year for constructing the magical 1967 roster.
Red Sox players were showered with awards as well. Jim Lonborg won the Cy Young Award with a 22-9 record but perhaps no player is more synonymous with the 1967 "Impossible Dream" team than Carl Yastrzemski, who won AL MVP honors and the Triple Crown, with a .326 batting average, 44 home runs and 121 RBIs.
The 1967 William Randolph Hearst Sandlot Tournament doubleheader featured quite the statistical oddity: identical extra-inning results in both games.

The magic of the 1967 Red Sox didn't carry over onto the gridiron at Fenway Park, as the Patriots won just two of their six games at home, and just three their entire season. Earlier in the year, a pair of soccer games was also played at Fenway Park, including a May 5 benefit for the Jimmy Fund.

*For several years, Fenway Park hosted a Junior Goodwill Dinner that brought hundreds of local high school students to the ballpark. The tradition was started by Red Sox legend Joe Cronin and the event typically took place in late January.
**For many years, the City of Boston regularly held a summertime Mayor's Charity Field Day. Many of these field days took place at Fenway Park, with a variety of sports, games, activities and other amusements for the crowds. In certain years, the Mayor's Charity Field Day even included an abbreviated baseball game at Fenway Park that was usually played between local teams.

Where the N Series range starts, but they're anything but basic. Standard with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed Automated Manual Transmission is available on most models. There's a ready-to-go tipper, a crew cab, NLS AWD and a variety of wheelbases to suit the body type you want.* Isuzu's 3.0 litre 4JJ1 diesel engine improves emissions and fuel efficiency, while still delivering plenty of power. Every N Series comes fitted with integrated dual SRS air bags and the very clever DAVE media system means you'll never have to work alone. Where else can you get an entry-level truck with such a first class cabin?
The N series range starts at 110kW (150PS), then steps up to 114kW (155PS) and finally the all-new 140kW (190PS) 4HK1 engine available in selected NPR models. You can choose from crew cab, 4x4 and ready-to-go tipper models. All NPR trucks come standard with chrome grille and fog lamps and most models have a suspension driver's seat. Our automated manual transmission (AMT) is also available in selected models to give you all the benefits of a manual with the ease of an automatic. Regardless of which model you choose, this N Series combines serious smarts with serious versatility.
The 8,700KG GVM NQR is the flagship of our light truck range. It's available in single cab-chassis, crew cab and ready-to-work tipper models. With a peak power output of 140kW (190PS), it's one of the most powerful light trucks in Australia. And it comes extremely well equipped. The class leading GVM rating is perfectly complemented by a peak power output of 140kW, the highest in the N series range. With all the features you can pack into an N Series, it's not hard to see why the N Series is Australia's favourite* light truck range.

Harry Potter, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, was looking out over the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Why isn't everything as easy as Quidditch, he thought. This morning, the headmaster had announced that there would be a Valentine's Ball this year. This had produced a characteristic effect on the students, depending on whether they were male or female.
The girls found the idea brilliant, and by now - late afternoon - were in advanced states of planning: partner, dress, make-up (here in random order). The boys were aggravated. Those who had a girl friend were worried about dancing, those who did not, were even worse off.
Harry belonged to the latter group, in spite of the fact that there were more girls than not who would have gladly accepted his invitation. However, Harry had no idea he was so popular and he knew there was only one girl he would like to go with. The only problem was that he did not know how to ask her and if she would say yes.
Ron Weasley entered the common room of Gryffindor tower to find Hermione Granger, the second of his best friends, sitting over a pile of books. No surprise here, he thought. As he watched her, a piece of parchment slipped from the table, and Ron went over to pick it up.
"Hey, Hermione, you've just dropped this."
She smiled brightly at him. "Thank you, Ron. How was practice?"
Ron had difficulties concentrating, although he usually was not at a loss to talk about Quidditch, but something about that smile was unsettling.
"Hey, Harry. Aren't you coming?"
Ginny Weasley, new star chaser on the team, good friend, best mate's lit..., no, younger sister, amazingly clever, very powerful, incredibly gorgeous, extraordinarily sweet, most wonderful, red-headed witch on the face of the earth.
"Thought you'd gone with the others."
"Nope. Couldn't drag myself out of the hot shower. My captain insisted on training in spite of north pole temperatures. Katie says you're worse than Wood."
Harry grinned. "You don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. I've never advised anybody to get the Snitch or die trying."
Ginny grinned back at him. "But you fly like that, anyway."
"That good or that desperate?"
"Depends. What are you doing here, anyway? Aren't you cold?" She shuddered.
"Just reminiscing."
Ginny hugged herself. "Can't you do that in spring? It's bloody icy."
Harry shook his head. "Why aren't you wearing one of your mum's sweaters?" An idea formed itself at the back of his mind. "Want to borrow mine?"
She looked at him with a little uncertainty, so he pulled off his warm sweater, a Christmas gift, and offered it to her. She took it with a grateful smile and slipped it over her head. It was green like Harry's eyes and featured a large "H" on the chest. It went quite well with Ginny's long red hair. She linked her arm with his and dragged him towards the castle.
"Now, come along. The team hates you, but they'll still kill me if you catch cold because of me."
They quick-marched up to the castle and continued to Gryffindor tower at a more leisurely pace, all the way chatting about Quidditch and their prospects for the championship. On arriving at the common room they found Ron and Hermione seated near the fireplace. Ginny went over and curled up on a sofa, as near to the warming fire as possible.
"Where've you been?" asked Hermione. "Everybody else came in at least twenty minutes ago."
"Harry," said Ron in an unearthly voice, "why is my sister wearing your sweater?"
"Because," Harry rounded on him, while dropping on the couch next to Ginny, "she was cold and you were not there to act as protectively as you sound!"
That was enough to shut Ron up for the moment, but not enough to check the smile that sprang to life in Hermione's eyes. Harry felt slightly irritated by it. However, his irritation stood no comparison to Ron's, when they went down to dinner later on, and Ginny was still wearing the Harry's sweater.
"Still cold, Gin?" Ron asked suspiciously.
"No," she said, "I'm fine."
"You're cold, Ginny?" a Ravenclaw fifth year eagerly threw in from the next table. "Need somebody to warm you?"
She beamed at him, rubbing the arms of the sweater. "No, thanks, I already have."
Seeing Ron's glare, the Ravenclaw decided not to press the issue. But Hermione noticed with interest that Harry was staring a hole into the other boy's head. He had had a funny sensation on his arms, where Ginny's hands had touched his sweater. Could this be the way it felt to be caressed by her?
"Hermione," Ron's voice invaded his thoughts, "you've dropped your napkin."
"Oh, thanks." Hermione was smiling, but Harry thought the look she gave Ron was ... somewhat surprising.
The mystery of Ginny, Ginny and the sweater or even how a caress from her would feel like, in short, total agitation, continued to haunt Harry for the days to come, because she showed no intention of giving the sweater back. During classes she had to wear her school robes, but even then Harry thought he had caught a glimpse of something green in her school bag once or twice, and as soon as lessons were over, she would change into something more casual that would involve his sweater. It looked good on her, too. She wore it with jeans or as a short dress with a belt and tights; both outfits were equally becoming. Harry liked to see her wearing it, his problems were of a different nature.
First of all there was Ron, who did not take his sister's interest in his best friend's wardrobe too well. His suspicious eyes followed Harry and Ginny whenever they came across each other. His second problem was Ginny herself. He knew she had given up on him, but why was she wearing his sweater all the time and making him nervous? He had decided to go to the ball - with her or not at all. Which lead to his third and fourth problem: How to ask her out without being royally embarrassed in front of the whole school and/or losing her friendship, and: the rest of Hogwarts' female population who seemed determined to hunt him down. He had stopped counting after the tenth girl had asked him, if he already knew whom to take to the ball. He had fallen for this approach only twice. The first question would unavoidably be followed by a second one that was really more of an offer than a question.
Overhearing a quickly mumbled conversation between Ginny and Hermione was not making things easier. Hermione had asked, "How's it going?" and Ginny had answered, "He's ripe. And you?" Hermione had only rolled her eyes in despair and had muttered something indistinct with "dropping". Who was 'he'? Harry was on the edge of insanity. In his despair he retreated to the most unlikely place: the depths of the huge library, hiding behind a high pile of books. But sometimes your problems will find you wherever you go ....
Ron was sitting in the common room, trying to concentrate on an especially vicious essay, but was distracted by Hermione time and again. Usually, she was a concentrated worker, but tonight she seemed to be dropping everything that was not quick enough to jump from the table itself. Ron had picked up her spare quill at least twice, he had saved her ink just before she could send it over the table's edge, he had dived under several seats and tables for parchments, and now, he saw, her Potions book was dangerously close to losing its balance.
He jumped up. "I'm tired. Good night, Hermione."
He never saw the glare she sent after him, or how she sighed and secured her Potions book, neatly aligning it to the table's edge with her usual attentiveness.
"There you are."
Ginny Weasley, wearing his sweater, looked a bit put out, but was still the most enchanting girl he could possibly imagine.
"What are you doing? It's almost curfew."
He looked at her helplessly. "Working?"
She picked up his parchment which had only ten lines or so written on it.
"Not very successful, were you? - What have you been doing?"
He just had to smile, the situation was simply too funny. He had been thinking about her all the time, of course. Luckily, she smiled back at him.
"Are you coming to the tower?"
He nodded. "Just let me clear up this mess."
She moved to help him the way friends do, and he could not avoid looking at her. How she would tuck a strand of unruly fiery hair behind her ear, while taking a look at the back of a book with her golden eyes and deciding where to put it. Ginny was immensely cute, whatever she was doing, but when she bit her lower lip like this she was just irresistible. She had to notice his staring right away, of course. When she smiled smugly at him, he was grateful that there were so many shadows in the library, hoping that she would not be able to discern the colour of his face. When they left, he had not overcome his embarrassment yet and was hoping to find a safe topic for conversation, but when he opened the door for her, she accidentally brushed his hand with hers, which cleared his mind of all safe topics, and he blurted out: "So, still happy with my sweater?"
Her look was questioning as she said, "Partly."
"Not warm enough?"
"Oh, it's warm all right, but that's not the only reason for wearing it."
Ok, he thought, here we go. "Which other reason is there?"
She looked at him as if he had said something not too intelligent. "The Ball."
He did not understand, so he tried to joke. "It's a good sweater, but I don't think it'd be the proper outfit."
She smacked his arm. "I won't wear it for the Ball, but I'm wearing it before the Ball." When he stared at her helplessly, she rolled her eyes at him. "Honestly, Harry. Is it so hard to understand? I'm wearing the sweater of a guy, who is well-known for being close with me. It effectively scares away most of the uninvited cavaliers who'd ask me for the Ball."
This gave Harry something to think about. He rated his knowledge of girls as underdeveloped. There were a few boys who were even more stupid than himself, of course - Ron, for instance. But, if Harry had noticed that Ginny was the most wonderful person in the world, it was quite likely that others had done so as well, and he would not be surprised to hear that quite a lot of guys tried to make a pass at her. Ginny, however, had given the whole school a hint that there was no use asking her in the first place. A hint? Had there been an emphasis on "uninvited" just now? He knew he would never go to the ball if Ginny went with somebody else. Their relationship had changed over the year, because ever since she had given up her crush on him, they had been growing closer. Even in his screwed up fifth year in Hogwarts she would have made it on the list of persons who were most important to Harry Potter. After Sirius' death it had been her loyalty, understanding and patience more than anything else that had saved him from making a total prat out of himself again. And now she was irreplaceable.
"Mr. Potter! Miss Weasley! It is after curfew. What are you doing out here?"
Harry's musings had brought them almost to the portrait of the Fat Lady, when they ran into Professor McGonagall.
Harry snapped out of his reverie. "Sorry, Professor. Ginny got me out of the library. I had forgot the time, and we're on the way to the common room."
Unconsciously, Harry had straightened and taken half a step forward as if trying to protect Ginny from whatever was coming now. Ginny had noticed, though, and so had Professor McGonagall. She felt reminded of another black-haired boy she had caught with a red-headed girl some twenty years ago, and Harry was ready to swear afterwards that he had seen the Head of Gryffindor house almost smile benignly.
"Off you go then," she said. "And no detours."
The second she had hesitated had given Harry all the time he had needed to finish his calculations. Ginny had been dropping hints.
Wait a minute! What did Ron say this morning? Hermione had developed a disposition to dropping things when he was there. - Oh!
The question that remained was if Ginny had also given hints as to which boy should ask her to the ball. It would be quite like her to do what Harry had been hesitating to do. So, there was only one thing he could do. He grabbed Ginny's hand and dragged her off to the common room.
"Harry," she laughed, "McGonagall said 'go', not 'run'."
But he only smiled at her and drew her onto a sofa near the fireplace. The room was almost empty. It was the middle of the week and most people had gone to bed early. Of the remaining few no one was near enough to overhear their conversation.
"Gin," he said without letting go of her hand, "I need your help."
She looked at him expectantly.
"It's because of the Ball. What kind of garment could a boy borrow from a girl to give her a hint that he fancies her and to scare other girls off at the same time?"
Clearly, Ginny had not been expecting this, but she seemed willing to give it some thought anyway.
"Difficult," she proclaimed. "In most cases the girl would be smaller than the boy, which rules out most garments as long as you don't intend on asking that Parkinson cow." Harry's face showed nothing but horror, so she continued, "Good, I was hoping you wouldn't. Still, the female anatomy is slightly different, so there is something boys could wear." She seemed to blush for a moment, but fought the colour back and giggled instead. "I've heard, some people consider it a turn on, but I just cannot imagine you wearing a girl's knickers. Also, nobody else would know, except your dorm mates, and they might find it a bit ... kinky?" She could hardly contain her laughter, and Harry could not blame her.
"Let's rule knickers out."
"Ok. Then there are accessories. Cho Chang wears these neon coloured plastic rings. So you could ask her for one of those. Most girls would notice that."
"Good idea!" Was there a shade of disappointment on her face? She tugged on her hand, but he would not let go. "But I won't ask Cho." Was she relieved? She had stopped pulling at least.
"Then you could do it the traditional way. The knights in shining armour used to ask the lady of their favour for a scarf to wear in battle."
"Like one of these?" Ginny wore a scarf round her neck. It was the same creamy colour as her skin.
She nodded and nervously wetted her lips. "There's one other solution I could think of."
"Which is?"
"To simply get it over with and ask her."
He grinned at her. "Now, that's a kind of bohemian idea."
She smiled at him, but he could see the insecurity behind it. Her fingers twitched a little, and a cloud of Hippogriffs were rising in his stomach.
Ginny had become increasingly tense, while Harry seemed to enjoy her attempts at finding a girl for him. But now he raked his free hand through his hair, which he would always do when nervous and make it stand on end even more. She adored him for it, and all she could do was sit there and not jump on him.
"Ginny, I know you're supposed to have given up on me, but I don't want to believe that. If you give me up, I'll be truly lost. Nobody's as important to me as you are, and I will not go to the ball, if you don't want to go with me."
She had closed her eyes, but now she opened them, locking with his. He could see fires dancing there.
"What are you asking me, Harry?" she whispered.
"Will you go to the ball with me, Ginny?"
"Yes, I will."
Now or never. His free hand reached for her, his fingers trailed along the side of her face. "And will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes, I will."
He was not quite sure she had said yes because his blood had been pounding in his ears.
"And may I kiss you?"
And now, finally, she smiled and leaned closer to him. Her lips brushed his. He saw it happen as if he was standing outside himself and could feel it happen at the same time. Her lips were wondrously soft and warm, matching his own. She tasted sweet and all of a sudden he just had to get closer, dropping her hand, he drew her towards him, and she wound her arms round his neck, ran her hands through his hair. The gap between them had closed, and they were lost ...
When Ron Weasley awoke the next morning he found that Harry, who must have returned to the dormitory late in the night, had left his bed already. When he walked down into the common room there was only Hermione waiting for him. She had not seen Harry, either. When they left for breakfast Hermione dropped the hair band she had been toying around with, and Ron picked it up for her. They found Harry at the Gryffindor house table in the Great Hall, sitting closely to Ginny. Ron and Hermione dropped into seats opposite the two and Ron looked sharply at his best friend.
"Harry? Why're you wearing my sister's scarf?"
Harry looked back in the most innocent way, but Hermione still thought he looked as guilty as hell.
"For the same reason I'm holding her hand under the table," Harry said casually, while Ginny smiled and rested her head against his shoulder.
Hermione was very impressed with the ease both of them displayed. Neither of them seemed the least embarrassed, in spite of the fact that the colour of Ron's face was getting dangerous.
But before he could go off, Harry grinned.
"And you better not ask what garment of hers I'm not wearing."
This threw Ginny into a fit of giggles that made the two of them move even closer.
Ron looked bewildered. "Do you know what they're talkin' about?" he asked Hermione.
"Not exactly, but I got the drift. Harry has picked up the hints Ginny has been dropping, and now they have somebody to go to the Ball with ... Which you, my friend, have not." She grabbed some toast and got up angrily.
Ron looked thoroughly put out and glared at Harry. "I'll get you for this one, Potter." But then a thought seemed to hit him, Harry and Ginny burst into laughter as they observed his face working.
He jumped up. "Hermione, wait!"

My kids have been blessed with grandparents who believe in the benefits of technology. Because of this, each of the kids has been an unlikely recipient of an ipad by the time they turned two. It is an amazing tool, even in the hands of a toddler and preschooler. We do limit the amount of time they spend using it, but its ability to entertain and educate has been a priceless. Like most parents, we try to choose apps wisely – mostly educational and skill-building apps, and also ones that engage their creativity (more on those later).
Being the sensitive (and expensive) handheld devices they are, an iPad can't survive little hands without a case. Chloe's case was chosen by Grandpa and still looks good after almost three years. It is a pink Hard Candy Street Skin Case. It fits very snug, but can be pulled off (by adults) to clean when needed. It also came with a solid screen cover, which is nice when its going into a carry-on and might rub against things. For Chloe it was perfect. She has had no problem carrying it around and her iPad has been safe ever since.
When Leo received his iPad, I had a hard time finding blog-style reviews on cases and mostly had to rely on amazon ratings. Eventually I chose a blue i-Blason ArmorBox Kido Series case. It's been great! At the time, Chloe's case was selling for $40 on Amazon. The i-Blason is $20. The soft handle makes it very easy to carry and use for little ones, and I often choose this iPad when watching movies at night because of the handy, built-in stand. Although it is more padded than Chloe's, it still feels nice, and the iPad is quite protected. The only negative is the case density cuts down slightly on the sound quality, but it just means the sound has to go up a bit more. Overall, I'm really happy with this choice and would recommend it as an affordable choice that I would buy again.
Hope this helps others who are looking to buy a good iPad protection for their kids, and I'd love to hear what case you are using!

Louis van Gaal expecting a busy four days in the transfer window
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal expects to be busy before the transfer window closes on Monday.
Van Gaal wants to bring in more players and send others on their way to further reshape his squad after a dismal start to the season.
United took their summer spending to £131.7million this week as they landed Angel di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record £59.7million.
With United yet to win a game in three attempts this season - including a humiliating Capital One Cup loss at MK Dons - Van Gaal does not want to stop there.
Arturo Vidal of Juventus and Sporting Lisbon's William Carvalho are among those to have been heavily linked with Old Trafford while reports suggest several players could be allowed to leave.
Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Shinji Kagawa are all reportedly attracting interest from elsewhere.
Van Gaal, speaking at a press conference to unveil Di Maria, said: "I had a conversation after lunch with the players and I said maybe after this weekend we shall have another group, because players shall go away and others shall come in."
One difficulty facing United, however, Van Gaal believes, is an apparent reluctance of other clubs to sell to them.
A perception has grown that players are less willing to move to United given their lack of European football this season, but Van Gaal insists problems are more to do with selling clubs.
He said: "We know already in advance what players we want and sometimes you can have them but sometimes no.
"It is also dependent on the club - more the club than the players, because the players want to come, all (of them)."
Van Gaal has promised that the defence will improve. The players so far deployed in Van Gaal's three-man back line have looked uncomfortable in the system.
Van Gaal said: "I think that we have no problem when the opponent has the ball because we have defended very well.
"Our problem is when we have the ball and have to build up the play and that we have to improve.
"I don't think our defence is weak. Our build-up is still not good enough. We shall improve that and that will take time."
Di Maria, meanwhile, has the potential to excite fans.
Van Gaal has no doubts the Argentina star - man of the match in last season's Champions League final - will fit into his system but has warned not expect magic immediately.
He said: "He played in Real Madrid not only as a wide wing player but also in midfield, so that is a reason why we are convinced he shall succeed.
"But we cannot expect after two days' training that he is the miracle what I already read (about). No, you have to work for the miracle and he knows that."

Progress Report
A few years back it felt like Manchester city centre was changing exponentially, writes Len Grant. Certainly I'd come across parts of town that had been totally transformed since my last visit. New buildings, and sometimes whole districts, were springing up almost overnight.
Now, it seems, its the turn of east Manchester. There are neighbourhoods I haven't visited for several weeks that are now almost unrecognisable. New public buildings are preparing to open; construction sites are crawling with yellow-vested works and dumper trucks; there's a buzz about the place which seems at odds with economic forecasts.
For this 'back to school' progress report, I've included some highlights from a whistle-stop photographic tour of east Manchester.
This is the East Manchester Academy, whose progress East has been following for the past 18 months. On Monday it opens its doors to 203 Year 7 pupils, the first cohort of a long-awaited secondary school for the area. The Academy's Principal, Guy Hutchence, calls them the 'pioneers', the ones who will set the standard for the years to come. Check out East next week where we will feature the historic first day of the Academy. Beswick Library shares the same building and opens to the public a week later on the 13th.
Over in Miles Platting this is the brand new Park View Community School which moves from its Victorian building on Nelson Street to its new home on Varley Street.
Up Oldham Road the Greater Manchester Police 240,000 sq ft Force Headquarters is nearing completion at Central Park. The steel frame in the background is the £35 million Divisional Headquarters which, when complete in 2011, will house those officers currently stationed in Beswick at Grey Mare Lane.
Across east Manchester the most visible construction activity is the laying of the Metrolink tracks that will take trams from the city centre to Droylsden. This Phase 3 extension work sees trams running along the main roads, as well as through new tunnels and across new bridges, taking in New Islington, Holt Town and Sportcity.
Here's the beginnings of the £24 million BMX Centre, part of the National Cycling Centre. Built right alongside the Manchester Velodrome, it will eventually seat 2000 spectators and become the home of the British Cycling Federation.
Some of the biggest changes in east Manchester are currently happening in Openshaw. Morrisons will be the cornerstone in a £40 million retail development including other stores, offices, a car park for nearly 700 cars and a new piece of public art. This week hundreds of local people are being interviewed for positions at the store.
Further down Ashton Old Road, yet another housing development is progressing to fulfill the ambition of more new homes in east Manchester. This is The Key, a development of houses and apartments for sale or shared ownership. Visit www.thekeyeastmanchester.co.uk.

A simple take on the classic time-teller. Featuring a sandblasted, matte-black stainless steel case, with cool grey face and premium tan and black leather band.
With Japanese Quartz Movement, Stainless Steel Bezel, Case & Caseback this watch is both beautiful and high quality. $129 - Purchase here
Not that anyone really needs a watch to check the time. We all carry more than enough devices that inform us of the time, or more commonly, the lack thereof.
Maybe that is why there is a nice retro feel in the whole idea of wearing a watch. I dare you to rush me! Let me just check the time on my watch and see if I care to rush!
We are certainly fans of cool time pieces here at TCH, so when we were introduced to the Melbourne-based AÃRK Collective our interest was immediate.
We love the minimalist, serious craftsmanship of not just the watches and every detail inside and out, but also the packaging.
The attention to every detail honours the craftsmanship, the timeless craftsmanship, of the entire experience. These are not jewellery or pretentiously magnanimous investment pieces for sheer show-off.
These are practical yet beautiful. Form and function. Minimalist and cool. Just what we love. We've ordered our Yolk Yellow watches. Now, if only time would fly a little faster…Tuija Seipell
First we fell in love with the city-ready look of Skora, a new "natural" sneaker brand from Portland, Oregon. Then we fell in love with the shoe itself.
Since we received a pair, it is pretty much all we've been wearing around town, on the beach or running, to the gym, to work, to yoga. They are super comfortable and light, and they make us feel like we're floating or walking on clouds. They feel totally natural, almost like being barefoot, only better! And that is just what the designers intended.
Skora was founded by David Sypiewski, a well-funded entrepreneur and formerly injured runner.
His shoes, like so many of the new, minimalist running shoes crowding the market today, are based on the notion that humans were designed to run shoeless, and that most running shoes overcorrect the human foot's natural ability to adjust and function. Rather than piling up more features, more support, more cushioning and more everything, the minimalist or natural shoe designers start from the bare foot and its inherent abilities.
Skora's first two models are based on a last that is shaped like the natural arch, and they have no height drop from heel to toe. The mid-foot hits the ground first, not the heel as with most running shoes.
In addition to loving the look of the shoes and loving the amazing feeling of wearing them, we also love their branding. The website is easy to navigate and the entire brand works. We are definitely fans. - Bill Tikos

Spotted a new men's brand we should know about? Get in touch
Spanish leather goods and women's accessories firm Malababa started in 1997 when pharmacy graduate Ana Carrasco realized she was more drawn to fashion than apothecary. She created a solid following in Madrid, then in the rest of Spain, and moved on to other markets in 2003. Malababa is now sold in more than 300 stores in Mexico, Argentina, USA, Japan, Kuwait, China and several European countries.
In Malababa pieces, there is a sense of traditional Spanish craftsmanship and handiwork. The use of natural-tone leathers and metal accents with timeless patina create a feel of value, elegance and timelessness. Purses, bags, wallets and shoes form the core of each collection, with cuffs, belts and other accessories completing the line.
Authenticity either is or isn't.
When a brand pretends to be something it is not, the result generally backfires. Like this beautiful Chrysler "Style" commercial that demonstrates that yes, Chrysler was synonymous with American style. The key word being WAS. Lesson: Even great advertising does not make uncool, cool.
Which leads us to think of bygone eras and authentic brands that are no more. Such as Benrus watches. Somehow the move to digital watches and colourful plastic timepieces took the seriousness out of watches. Is this good or bad? You decide for yourself but we are currently enamored with the 1940 Benrus Sky Chief. Real numbers, real hands, serious black or silver face, a real crown to wind it. Benrus Watch co. was founded in New York City in the 1920s by Benjamin Lazarus. Benrus was the official watch of the U.S. mail-carrying pilots of several cargo airlines. Known at its peak as the "Official Watch of Famous Airlines," it was the official time piece of pilots at Delta, KLM, NWA and TWA. You can still find some of the authentic Sky Chiefs, and by forking out $2,400 or so, you may even be able to own one. - Bill Tikos
Tim and Fiona Slack (T&F Slack) are married to each other and to their love of creating shoes, considered "modern classics" by industry standards. Their collection gives the classic "Gibson" or "Derby" shoe shape new life when unexpected colour combinations, stitching details and fabrications are blended together.
You can choose from the perforated Punch Derby in white leather with yellow peaking beneath, or have a custom made pair to order in their Notting Hill Shop or use the simple "build your own shoe" system they've created within Selfridges and Liberty.
Dedicated to keeping manufacturing local, they make around 150 shoes per month in their factory where old-fashioned machinery is salvaged and customised to create their "modern classic" shoes. With so much repetition in the world of shoes, it's so refreshing to see a unique and bespoke solution that really does draw the eye downwards! – Kate Vandermeer

This is a GREAT first MOC to post here. I love the overal look and shape of it, as well as your attention to detail. The landscaping is very nice, and basically a must for castle dioramas. I've never really liked using the green slopes for such, but you've bulled off well here.
I like that you cap off most of the studs with tiles, and your fig posing is nicely done. I especially like the guard slipping on the tar, that's good!
Do you have plans to close off the rear, or is it made to be more like the sets?
Anyways, like I said, its an awsome MOC. I expect to see many more from you.
smcginnis wrote:This is a very beautiful little lake-tower. I love tiled water, I think it should always be that way, and the rocks rising out of it are very nice. The plant life looks (relatively) organic, which is hard to achieve with bricks, so good job. The tower itself is nicely built. The mixture of pre-fab wall pieces and good brick-built architecture works well here. The three colors of flags repeated throughout really ties this in with the Crusaders (and the Black Knight's shield on the front, never would've thought to mix those two). The interior is nice as well. That bedroom is nicely detailed, and I like the staircases looking down into the main hall.
The name is already taken, but that's not really a big deal when compared to the awesomeness. Since the back is open, I guess its not such a little lake-tower after all. Do you have plans to expand it? I'd like to see more modules of this.
All in all, really nice first MOC, and welcome to CC.

It would be an awesome MOC from one of our most experienced builders, so it's that much more impressive coming right out of your dark age. There is much to love in this, like those stones coming out of the water, the curved steps in front of the drawbridge, guard chasing a rat, Timmy slipping on tar, etc etc etc. Well met, indeed!
BTW, what is your difficulty with Brickshelf? Were you unable to establish an account in the first place? Or unable to upload images after setting up an account?

Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) preparations are efficacious and safe products in use world-wide. Although rare, side-effects of IVIG may be serious, even life-threatening, and clinicians should be aware of their potential occurrence.
The clinical benefit of immune globulin prophylaxis in patients
with primary antibody deficiency syndromes has been clearly
established. In the past, replacement therapy was provided
through intramuscular injections. In the early 1980s, highly
purified monomeric suspensions of IgG for intravenous use
became available and more than 10 commercial preparations
of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) are now at the disposal
of the clinician. The indications for administration of
IVIG have been enlarged to include transitory primary antibody
deficiencies (such as low birth-weight premature babies),
secondary hypogammaglobulinaemic states [as in chronic
lymphatic leukaemia (CLL) or multiple myeloma], and conditions
with increased susceptibility to infections (such as bone
marrow transplant.or the post-surgery period). In addition to
its efficacy as replacement therapy, IVIG now has wellestablished
therapeutic applications in some haematological
and autoimmune diseases: IVIG preparations are used successfully
in immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), in Kawasaki
disease, and for some desperate diseases for which there is no
other efficient treatment [reviewed in refs 1 and 2]. The mechanisms
of action of IVIG in these conditions, although not yet
fully determined, include a reticulo-endothelial blockade, an
immunomodulatory effect (by supplying anti-idiotype antibodies),
and an anti-inflammatory action.
This growing usage has increased the need for high quality
immune globulin products and, indeed, high-dose IVIG can be
administered with only mild, self-limited side-effects. This
paper reviews the most frequent adverse reactions reported
with IVIG therapy from the time of its introduction into the
clinic. Possible underlying causes of these reactions and their
current management are described briefly.

I made an algorithm that has a good potential use for a commercial application. I'm thinking of making a GUI, and since it's computationally expensive, I'm thinking of putting it "on the cloud" to offer the numerical part as a service. What I'm thinking is making a GUI, and then the users submit the work to the server. This GUI could be made open software (in fact, very probably will be). The GUI has a lot of graphics. Imagine something like making picks on surfaces plots, taking a look at those picks with different tools, and using numerical mathematics on those picks.
Are there languages that make this work easier? What, specifically, about them aide in creating GUIs like this?

The range of the friction coefficient µ for each bushing, thrust washer and stripe material is provided under the relevant bearing data sections:
Guideline values for the coefficient of friction µ of PTFE composite plain bearings
Using PTFE composite bearings as an example for the coefficient of friction µ under different operating conditions, the lowest values are normally obtained where there are high specific loads and low sliding velocities (diagram 1). Under particularly unfavourable operating conditions, like light loads, high velocities or inadequate surfaces, the maximum guideline values may be exceeded. The coefficient of friction µ for PTFE composite bearings increases at temperatures above +100 °C.
Similar values are found for the POM composite material, but the presence or constant supply of lubricating fluids serves to decrease friction.
Stick-slip effects are negligible for PTFE and POM bushings.
PTFE bushings typically have a running-in period (Bushing designs and variants).

Old crop soybeans finished the day strong ahead of the long weekend. May corn settled 1 ½ cents higher at $6.58 ¼, May soybeans 14 ½ cents higher at $14.34, and May wheat ¾ of a cent lower at $6.38 ½.
May soybeans finished at a new settlement high for the move. Beans may be trying to take out their high of $14.56 which was made last September. The USDA Ag Attaché in Brazil lowered their production estimate by 2.5 million MTs down to 66.0 MMTs. November soybeans finished higher but weren't able to find the same strength old crop soybeans had with such heavy bulls-spreading going on. Wheat continues to find weakness and is now trading at a 19.75 cent discount to corn again! This seems to have kept old crop corn resisted over the past few days. If we continue to see wheat trade at such steep discounts to corn we could see a lot more wheat feeding between now and the end of the summer.
The market is likely gearing up for the USDA report on Tuesday morning. The important things to watch out for are old crop ending stock changes as well as South American corn and soybean production cuts. The market is expecting the 2011/2012 soybean carryout to drop to 246 million bushels which is down almost 30 million from the March USDA estimate. The average corn carryout is estimated at 721 million bu which is down from the last estimate of 801 million bushels. These lower estimates continue to put a bullish tilt to the market. Export sales were also favorable this morning adding to the strength. Export sales ended up as follows.
Estimated Range Old Crop New Crop
Corn 400,000 – 700,000 MTs 937,600 MTs 185,100 MTs
Soybeans 600,000 – 850,000 MTs 406,900 MTs 706,000 MTs
Wheat 300,000 – 500,000 MTs 408,300 MTs 103,400 MTs

I'm sharing this dish with Baby in the City - KL's Merdeka Open Day 2010. The theme of this year is Food From Our Hearts. Happy Merdeka Day to all Malaysian!
a handful of mint leaves
1 tbsp of cooking oil
I used to be iffy about eating mint but it's really grown on me recently! I see your green thumb is starting to show itself my dear!
this is good for people having bad cough.
I love this, and when you add water, it becomes soup:)
Are you submitting this to Babe-kl's merdeka open house?
This looks so suitable.
what a great use of freshly harvested mint leaves :)
Joanne, I'm definitely not. I've killed a lot of plants, haha...
New Kid, oh? Is it? :)
wendyywy, oh I see. I use mint leaves to cook egg drop soup. :)
Oh ya hor? Thanks for reminding me. Just submitted, haha...
noobcook, you know, I have the feeling like this is so precious, because it's home grown. :)
I usually use Thai basil leaves but never these kind, maybe I should eh.
Thanks for submitting the second recipe for Merdeka Open House ;-)
Looks yummy..
I have never thought of using mint leaves in omelet before! What a good idea!!!
I love mint! This sounds so interesting. I've never seen it used with egg before, but I'm sure it's delicious.
p.s. I'm a gardener, so if you ever have any questions just ask (smile)!
my mom used to make this too, except that she cooks in in soup. Abs tasty and homey!
babe_kl, luckily I'm able to submit it just before closing date, hehe...
MeRy, if you like mint leaves, then you'll like this.
daphne, this is easy to make, and it tastes marvelous.
Stella, you are a gardener? Oh, I see. Here in Malysia our weather is summer whole year long. I feel not comfortable to do gardening.
I'll write to you if I have any doubts in mind. Thanks ya.
xin, I see. Is it similar to egg drop soup?
Wow, mint omelette? Very interesting!
it's great idea! the mint makes the omelette less oily and gives it a refreshing taste
I thought mint leaves are usually used to garnish a "done" omelet. I hardly see mint leaves taking center stage like this in an omelet. Good one!
I make this all the time too..often in a broth :)
Very delicious!
Pigpigscorner, when I saw grandma in law cooked this, I found it's interesting too and I like the taste ver much.
Wxin, yup, with mint leaves, it's very refreshing.
tigerish, I thought the same too until late grandma in law introduced this to me.
3 hungry tummies, I make that way too, by using mugwort instead of mint leaves.
I have eaten this before. Not bad. Given a choice, I still prefer with the classic omelette with onions.
yeah quite similar, but it is more minty since she put the mint leaves in to the soup
Mei Teng, I love onion omelet too. :P
xin, I see.
Hey, you've got a really nice blog here! Heard from Wendy so much about you! Definitely will be back for more!
I've never heard of mint leaves omelet. Only have had usual ones like onion, Chinese chives, scallion, shrimp, tomato and bitter gourd omelet. Thank you for sharing this! Is this fairly more common in northern Malaysia? Have never seen it in KL. Or did I miss it!!??
Pei Lin, hi nice to meet you! Thanks to Wendy who helps promoting my blog to you. That's the fun of blogging, and we got the opportunity to learn from each other in no cost, hehe...
Welcome ya!

A beautiful mix of Past and Present in this old family house renovation.
The architecture studio Clínica de Arquitecura had as their main objectives: to give the spaces more fluidity, more light and basically a new "life" to the home... but without losing it's particular character and it's memories.
I love all the beautiful details and the amount of care taken to combine old and new in an harmonious way.
My favourites? The general luminosity which makes me feel nostalgic for the summer in Portugal. The new stairs, and the way they belong effortlessly in the old space. And the marble kitchen sink, because it reminds me of the one my grandmother had.
"Sometimes, everything has to change so that everything stays the same...
Today, looking at the house, it seems that it was always like this."

Videos: Gov. Snyder declares it's time to hit the slopes
Cannonsburg Ski Area had a bit of an "if you build it, they will come" experience following Christmas. With the assistance of snow machines, the ski resort opened for the 2012-2013 season on Wednesday, and, by nighttime, Mother Nature added a nice accumulation of snow to the slopes.
Though warmer temperatures inhibited the facility from opening earlier in the season, the ski resort is now in full swing and as long as it can continue to make snow, skiers and snowboarders will be swooshing down the slopes. Up North was a little luckier this year, with snow falling earlier in the season, allowing sports jocks to indulge in their favorite winter hobbies between the holidays.
Michigan sports enthusiasts have most of the winter season still ahead, however, and Gov. Rick Snyder wants Michiganders to take full advantage of the snow and ice this year. In fact, he recently issued a proclamation declaring January as "Discover Michigan Snow Sports Month."
"Winter travel accounts for nearly one-third of the $17.7 billion a year Michigan travel industry," said Steve Kershner, chairman of the Michigan Snowsports Industries Association and director of snowsports at Shanty Creek Resorts in Bellaire.
Kershner pointed out that all Michigan residents are within two hours of a ski area, regardless of where they live in the state. In fact, Michigan boasts a combined total of 51 ski areas, more than 260 lifts, about 1,000 runs, more than 50 terrain parks and hundreds of kilometers of groomed cross-country trails, according to the MSIA.
Don't know how to ski? That's not a problem. MSIA offers a program called Discover Michigan Skiing, which includes a beginner lesson, ski or snowboard rental equipment and a beginner area ski lift pass or cross-country trail pass.
Twenty-four ski facilities are offering the package, which is honored through Jan. 31. Prices are $20 for cross-country skiing, $30 for downhill skiing and $40 for snowboarding. The program is open to everyone age 7 and older.
If skiing or snowboarding aren't personal favorites, that's okay. Michigan has plenty of other options from which to choose. Pure Michigan just released 13 videos offering a sampling of winter fun for every winter personality, including snowshoeing, ice climbing, dog sledding and ice sailing.
For more information about Discover Michigan Skiing programs, Michigan's ski slopes, trails and retailers or to view the governor's proclamation, visit goskimichigan.com.

Australia Zoo is located in the lovely little community of Beerwah on the gorgeous Sunshine Coast. Everyone knows everyone, and the community groups and businesses really work together to make the town a great place to live and visit. There are a lot of people in Beerwah who really go that extra mile to help out others.
A tortoise can't go forward without sticking her neck out! This is the inspiration for The Harriet Award. Pastor Les Peel of the local Church on the Rise along with Glasshouse Country News and Australia Zoo award a prize to a valued member of the community who sticks his/her neck out to help others.
Wes Sutton leads a busy professional life as a Sergeant for the Beerwah Police Station and has been chosen as the recipient of The Harriet Award for his extensive work with the local Little Athletics club.
"Wes is brilliant to watch", Pastor Peel says. "He really encourages the kids. He's got a heart for it".
Well done Wes and keep up the great work with Little Athletics!
Our next big community project is Beerwah's Great Garage Sale on April 16th.
